When I received Xu Tong's call, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness in my heart. The relationship with the police has reached a point where there is no way back, but I have maintained an advantage for the time being, and this advantage lies entirely in the police's attitude towards these cases and the clues and evidence I already have in my hands.

Xu Tong once told me very clearly that the police have been secretly investigating the 330 case, but they have not disclosed it to the public, but from Xu Tong's mouth, from the mouths of Shen Nuo and Shen Cheng, I also know that the police high-level is controversial about this series of cases. At the top level, there are those who are in favor of a large-scale investigation, while others are against it.

I think the opposition accounts for the vast majority, so the establishment of the Woman in Red Task Force has not been good news for a long time. Xu Tong is already a captain of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of City B, and his power is unimaginable, but about this case, he doesn't dare to make a decision privately, and wants to investigate, what I want to defeat is not Xu Tong, but those people above Xu Tong.

Wei Zhong, although he is not yet known in his position, is certain that he has the right to speak. I don't know what his attitude is towards these cases, on the surface, Wei Zhong seems to be reluctant to investigate, but he never says it explicitly. He has been in the officialdom for so long, and his attitude will not be shown on his face, so his attitude remains to be examined.

It is precisely because the police's attitude towards these cases is mainly negative that the clues I have have made them panic. They think about the bigger picture, but if I use the media or other means to make something public, they won't be able to argue.

The only thing people need to know is the truth, and the people are different from those people, they only care about their own lives and safety, they don't think about the big picture. I pulled out three pieces of brown paper from my body, these things are very important, so I always carry them with me.

The fine lines and unknown hieroglyphs on it, once pieced together, are sure to reveal a huge secret. This secret is a secret that even the police and high-level people care about. My greatest confidence comes from these kraft papers. I hesitated for a while, and Xu Tong's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Professor Li? Have you thought about it? ”

I was no longer silent and calmly said into the phone: "Time, place." ”

Xu Tong's tone was also very heavy: "Time, eleven o'clock tonight, location, Conference Room No. 1 of the Criminal Investigation Bureau." ”

I scoffed: "Late night negotiations? It is in line with the way the police interrogate them late at night. ”

The so-called late-night interrogation refers to the interrogation of criminal suspects by the police in the middle of the night. This approach has also been controversial in judicial circles. Late at night, when the human brain is the most tired, the functions of the human body will gradually enter the state of sleep, at this time, whether it is the ability of people to think, or the ability to be vigilant, will be reduced to a minimum.

The police regard this time as the prime time for interrogation, and many major cases have been solved at this time. Once the suspect becomes tired, then he will be powerless to resist the repeated interrogation bombardment of the police, and finally say that he leaked or confessed directly.

And the purpose of their choice to negotiate with me at such a time can be imagined.

Xu Tong didn't answer my words, he only said: "Wait on time." ”

After that, Xu Tong hung up the phone. Jiang Jun and I were going to go out, and I wanted to check the identity of Cha Weizhong before negotiating. Only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself can one not be defeated in a hundred battles. However, the police seemed to refuse to give me this opportunity, and negotiations were imminent, so I suddenly decided not to go out.

If my guess is correct, there will be more talkers in this negotiation. One Weizhong is already a headache, and if there are a few more others, I am not sure that I can convince them by relying on my mouth. So I have to be in the best shape to go into the negotiations.

I went straight to my room, and after taking the medicine, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Nightmares kept coming, and every time I woke up sweaty, groggy and asleep, I would wake up again from nightmares. In this way, I don't know how many nightmares I had, and I don't know how many times I woke up from sleep and over again.

Finally, the pre-programmed alarm went off. Exhausted, I tumbled out of bed, and I stumbled into the bathroom and took a cool shower. Whatever people fear the most, they will come, and after this day's rest, I not only felt refreshed, but also felt even more uncomfortable.

The cold water sobered me up a bit, and after changing my clothes, I was ready to go. Jiang Jun had been waiting for me in the living room for a long time, and as soon as he saw me coming out of the room, he immediately stood up and said that he wanted to accompany me. I shook my head, as Jiang Jun, he may not be able to say a word in the negotiations, and I don't want to implicate Jiang Jun in my grievances with the police.

However, Jiang Jun told me very firmly that he must go, because his father was involved in the case, and he was fully qualified to participate in this negotiation. Looking at Jiang Jun's pleading and firm gaze, I nodded in a ghostly manner. After Liu Jia sent Jiang Jun and me out, we walked quickly towards the gate of the police academy.

Looking at my watch, it was exactly ten o'clock in the evening. I took a taxi and I deliberately asked the driver to drive slower, I didn't want to get to the place too early, it would make it seem like we were very concerned about it. At the negotiation table, it's like doing a business, it's a psychological tactic, and we can't let the other side settle us.

In the car, Jiang Jun asked me if I had already thought of a way to deal with it, I shook my head, Jiang Jun was a little surprised.

In fact, a long, long time ago, I thought about what I would say and do when I negotiated with the police, but then I found out that what would happen in this negotiation was completely unpredictable, and I had no way to prepare. Therefore, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, this is the best way.

My head was groggy, but I had to try to stay awake and not show my tiredness on my face.

Finally, forty minutes later, we arrived at the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation. Late at night, there was no one else in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, except for the police on duty at night. It was deserted, except for the occasional typist tapping on the keyboard. Jiang Jun and I walked very slowly, and at 10:50 a.m., we arrived in Xu Tong's office.

Xu Tong was already waiting here, his police uniform neatly dressed. When he saw us, he immediately wanted to welcome us to the conference room, but I sat down directly on the wooden sofa. I asked Xu Tong for a glass of water, Xu Tong looked at his watch, the time had indeed not come, he had to pour a glass of water for me and Jiang Jun.

After taking a few sips, Xu Tong asked again, "Professor Li, can you come with me now?" ”

I smiled and said, "The time hasn't come yet, what is the urgency of the Xu team, let me tell you something first, Jiang Jun, I will take him to the negotiation site together." ”

Xu Tong immediately shook his head and refused: "No, you can only go alone!" ”

My face immediately fell: "Team Xu, do you know what negotiation is?" ”

Xu Tong frowned, waiting for me to speak.

"The so-called negotiation may result in four situations, one is that your side wins, and the other is that our side wins." I said.

Xu Tong: "Aren't there only these two outcomes?" ”

I shook my head: "There are two other situations: one is a win-win situation, and the other is a loss-lose." ”

Xu Tong was stunned, obviously, he didn't expect these two situations. I continued: "But no matter what the outcome is, before the negotiations begin, both sides are equal, and that is called a negotiation. Since there is equality, why do you ask me to go alone, are you also only one person? ”

Xu Tong was completely unsure of what I said, and he didn't know how to refute it.

At this time, there was a sudden applause in the office, and when I turned around, I saw a person clapping while walking in from outside the office door, it was Wei Zhong. Today, Wei Zhong was still wearing loose casual clothes, which was completely different from what I had imagined, and I always thought that he would take this negotiation very seriously.

I also thought he would be in a straight suit, but all this was different from what I imagined.
