Sha Pingping held the steering wheel with one hand with his left hand, picked up the coffee cup with a straw in his right hand and put it to his mouth and took a sip lightly, after drinking, he put the coffee cup back on the cup seat next to him, and looked at the young woman sitting in the passenger seat. He noticed that she was not wearing a ring on her ring and middle fingers on her left hand.

Feng Juan is not a beautiful woman, but her eyebrows are clear, giving people the impression of being shrewd and capable. She was wearing a well-fitting black women's suit, short ear-length hair, a pair of rimless glasses, very light makeup, and her eyes were calm and clear.

Sha Ping was picked up by Feng Juan in Philadelphia.

He was struggling with how to get from New York to Langley. This distance is not enough to fly, is it better to take a train or a greyhound? At this time, he suddenly received a call from Feng Juan. Feng Juan first introduced herself, then said that the fastest ticket she could buy was to Philadelphia, and asked him if he could pick her up along the way. Sha Ping suddenly had no other choice, and there was only one way left to rent a car. So he rented a car, rushed to Philadelphia to pick up Feng Juan, and then rushed to Langley with her.

Feng Juan seemed to notice his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Mr. Sha, don't judge whether we Chinese are married from the ring on your hand. That's not accurate. ”

"What? Are you married? ”

"Does my marital status have anything to do with this investigation?"

"It seems that this woman is not very easy to get along with! I'm not bored to talk about it! Sha Ping drove the car, thinking to himself. Would you like to talk to you? Lao Tzu didn't like you shapers in the first place, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been kicked out of the police world. ”

"What does Miss Feng think of the attack on Gang Leader Yu?"

"I'm only responsible for discerning lies, reasoning should be your business, right?"

I really can't talk about it. Sha Ping picked up his coffee again and took a sip.

"And what advice do you have for the two of us?"

"Oh, yes. I really have something to tell you beforehand. Because I have to communicate the results of the identification to you at any time during the supervision process, when the investigator is questioning a witness or suspect, if I find that the person being questioned is lying, I will hold my glasses with my left hand, and if I find that the investigator is covering up for the interviewee, or if the purpose of the questioner is not to ask the truth but to guide the direction of the investigation, I will hold the glasses with my right hand. ”

"Is this the norm in your industry?"

"Everyone has a set of habitual movements. I'm used to holding glasses to sign. It's more natural and not easy to spot. To tell the truth, my internal strength is limited, and my talent for studying discernment is not high. I relied on concentration to fill in the lack of strength. Therefore, when I enter the state of professional discrimination, I will not pay attention to the content of the conversation, and my energy will always be focused on discerning the changes in the physical parameters of the person I am talking to.

"So you have to keep an eye on what I do and judge for yourself which is true and what is false. If you don't notice my actions and ask me afterwards which is the truth and which is false, then I will be sorry to tell you, and I don't know. That's why I said that I was only responsible for discerning lies, not reasoning. Because after entering the state of discernment, I have no idea what both sides of the conversation are talking about. All I remember in my head are the changes in the parameters of the interlocutor. ”

Sha Pingping understood the reason why the other party asked him to pick her up in advance. It seems that before the investigation, they have to cultivate a tacit understanding between the two sides.

Sha Pingping, who had lived and studied in the United States for many years as a young man, was familiar with the American highway transportation routes, and soon drove his car into the road leading to the CIA headquarters. Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked up the phone, chatted with the other party, and then turned the car to a fork in the road.

"What's wrong?" Feng Juan asked.

"Someone wants to see us first." Sha Ping said as he pulled the car to a stop in front of a café, when he saw a gray-haired Westerner waving to them through the café window. He motioned for Feng Juan to get out of the car, and the two walked into the café. It was past breakfast time, and there weren't many people in the café. The man who was waving to them was sitting by the window, and there was no one around.

"Mr. Sha, Ms. Feng, it's a pleasure! I'm Harden, Assistant to the President's Security Advisor. Harden looked to be about fifty years old, dressed in a crisp suit, with meticulously combed hair and a pair of blue eyes sunken in their sockets that shone with wisdom. He stood up and held out his hand to the two of them as he spoke.

"Luckily!" The two also reached out to shake Harden's hands. Sha Ping paid attention to the people around him, and found that there were two people who should have come with Harden, and he thought they should be bodyguards.

"Mr. Sha, Ms. Feng. Time was a bit tight, so I had something to say. You should already know a little about the shooting of Ms. Yu Qianhua, so I won't repeat it here. In order to find out the truth, we are going to set up an investigation team, and I will introduce the specific composition of the team members to the scene later. The reason why I want to meet the two of you in advance is to give notice in advance, so as to save a misunderstanding for a while. I would like to say that you are not members of the investigation team. ”

Sha Ping just wanted to interject, but Harden pressed his hands down and continued: "Mr. Sha, don't worry, I'll explain. To say that you are not part of the investigation team does not mean that you are not allowed to participate in the investigation. To be honest, the two of you are only Ms. Yu's personal representatives, so it is impossible for us to publicly admit to having you involved in our domestic investigation. So, in this investigation, you only have the right to supervise, not the right to investigate. And this right of supervision is also carried out in secret, and we will not admit on any occasion that it has given you the right of supervision. On the bright side, we will declare to the public that the two of you are the study personnel sent by the Chinese side to study with the investigation team.

Therefore, all the work of determining the direction of the investigation, questioning suspects and witnesses, and collecting evidence on the spot are all completed by the members of the investigation team. And if you have any comments on the investigation, you can only call me and let me coordinate, and you cannot put them forward to others on the spot, which will affect the progress of the investigation. Am I clear enough? ”

"I see what you mean. But I have a little doubt. ”

"Please." Harden said.

"I understand these rules that Mr. Harden has set on behalf of your Government. After all, this investigation may involve many confidential agencies and individuals in your country. But I think these rules have to be based on a premise to be valid. That is, your government is not the mastermind of this incident.

"But yet, we haven't determined that. To put it to the extreme, I don't even know if you sitting across from you are just a pretense sent by your government to deceive the two of us. I think the first task for both of us is to figure out what role your government played in this case. Only by clearing your suspicions can we get to the question of how to cooperate. Isn't it? "Sha Ping decided to attack instead of defending.
