Chapter 32: A Strange Woman

Where have the lords seen such a formation? It was as quiet as a cicada for a while, and some began to tremble. Unexpectedly, this bloodthirsty demon showed his true colors again.

"Don't be afraid. It was my specially appointed Gurkha Guardian who shot just now. Everyone has seen his skills, just know it. The Gurkha guards absolutely obey orders and will never kill innocents indiscriminately, so everyone can rest assured. I have something to say for today's meeting, and you will continue to be seated. Peter sat down first, and the Count Alexander and Viscount Ming Qiushan next to him also sat down slowly and nervously.

"Your Excellency, just now this Marquis answered the questions raised by Earl Sima Qinglong and Baron Guan Zhongda on behalf of everyone with practical actions, I don't know if you are still satisfied with this unique way?"

"To tell you the truth, Jack David has followed me for almost 20 years and dedicated the best time of his life to Hualong Hi-Tech. After assuming the responsibility of the Confederate security department, the work is also quite conscientious. However, when it came to escorting the Duke on his travels, he did not do his best to fulfill his responsibilities. This is obvious to all. Major General David is to blame. And because of his negligence, it was a crime to make the arrogant people even more excused to denigrate the relations between the leaders of the Confederate. And the sin is unforgivable, so the Marquis's move to clean up the door is really a tearful killing. David is guilty and does not harm his family, and for his wife and children, the social minister Gu Zhenbu Viscount should be treated preferentially and appeased. Viscount Zhenfu, do you hear that?"

Hearing the roll call, Viscount Gu Zhenbu stood up in a panic and hurriedly replied loudly: "Report to Lord Marquis, Zhenbu hears it, resolutely and executes the order as soon as possible." ”

Peter stretched out his palm and pressed it down, motioning for him to sit down.

"Your Excellency, today's meeting is coming to an end. Here, I would like to reiterate discipline. The two situations reported at the meeting are really the top secrets of the Confederacy, and those present must follow the requirements of the meeting. After verification, in addition to the cancellation of the title, the responsibility shall be pursued in accordance with the law. ”

He took two puffs of his pipe, and then said, "This marquis answered the questions of the two lords' representatives with practical actions today, and I don't know if the rank is satisfied with the result. Since no objection was received at the meeting, the Marquis was deemed to have endorsed the Central Committee's resolution. In the future, if it is found that some of the lords make fun of the duke and the marquis, play with right and wrong, provoke contradictions, and regard it as a criminal act of arguing about the central government, Jack David will be a lesson from the past. Peter deliberately understated.

"This emergency meeting is the top secret of the Central Committee of the Confederacy. The lords who are listed to attend the meeting are not allowed to be interviewed by any media and are not allowed to disclose any information. Otherwise, it will be punished as the crime of leaking secrets. Peter emphasized.

"Secretary General Baron Pushwell noted that the meeting resulted in a press release authorizing Pioneer to broadcast it on all its media outlets for three days at the same time. Peter fixed his eyes on the location of the conference secretariat. Baron Pushwell hurriedly stood up and motioned for compliance.

After the meeting adjourned, the room was empty. But Peter was reluctant to leave.

It is really helpless to use such a thunderbolt to deter the whole situation today.

Although the disposal of David is a little excessive, it is of great significance, and if a David can be sacrificed in exchange for what he wants, it is a good deal.

But who knows what Peter wanted in his heart!

What made him uneasy was this Baron Lin Yun who suddenly appeared.

He remembered very well that this guy's knighthood was also based on the Duke's recommendation.

Does the duke know Lin Yunnan? Is it just because he is his brother-in-law that he does this? The duke is not such a character.

There is no secret about the origin of this person, and they all know that it is the "dowry" given to his daughter by Mr. Lin Mohan, the lord of Taishan, on the occasion of the duke's wedding.

However, a beautiful man with a good reputation in the Confederacy, who does not marry or marry, always follows the beautiful sister and duchess who are married, and although he is commensurate with his personal assistant to the outside world, he always can't help but feel awkward.

The more Peter thought about it, the more strange things felt.

Back in the office, Shadow Bands Old A is waiting.

"Old K, something is wrong. Old A said unhurriedly, "Lin Yunnan is gone." And it was, along with the Duchess, out of thin air. The team is in a meeting to urgently discuss countermeasures. ”

Old K turned his head to look at him, his face full of astonishment, and the pipe in his left hand shook unnaturally.

This is not a trivial matter, and if something happens to the Duchess, it will be a big deal.

"What's the matter?" asked the Marquis.

Old A walked to the desk and turned on the monitor.

This is the footage of Lin Yunnan being interrogated in the secret room of Zurich Central Hospital. According to the arrangement of the shadow team Lao Q, Lao A appeared in the interrogation room as a security guard of the external team, and in the face of violence to extract a confession, Lin Yunnan confessed everything he could say and what he knew about his personal information. The interrogation reached an impasse, and at this time, Lao A unexpectedly received an order to release Lin Yunnan immediately.

Lin Yunnan, who came out of the central hospital, bent his waist and dragged one leg, looking very embarrassed, but Lao A found that although his glasses were broken, it did not affect his eyesight at all, obviously, the gold wire glasses he wore every day were just his props.

After going out, Lin Yunnan also looked left and right, as if to make sure that no one was following, and after finding that there was no one, he beckoned to call a taxi.

Lao A quickly located the taxi, and immediately activated the two groups of followers sent earlier to see what the target intended.

The taxis are ordinary, the routes taken are normal, and the speed is not fast. Zurich's municipal monitoring is very well done, and the taxi carrying Lin Yunnan can be monitored almost 360 degrees all the way. Surprisingly, the destination turned out to be the Duke's residence. The taxi was still some distance from the gate of the official residence and was stopped by security guards and forbidden to go further.

The taxi pulled over in a regular manner, the backseat door opened, and Lin Yunnan walked out. The security guard knew him and greeted him politely.

However, the scene in front of me was shocking.

The lewd man who got into the car with a rickety figure, inconvenient walking, a wrinkled suit, messy hair, and lost his glasses is gone. appeared in front of the camera, still the beautiful man Baron Lin Yun, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, a spotless white shirt, hair as shiny as leather shoes, and dazzling large-framed gold-rimmed glasses.

Peter moved his butt, his pipe pounded on the table, and said, well, there's a problem. There's something wrong with the car. The problem is in the car.

Lao A continued to play the surveillance video.

The personable Lin Yunnan strode towards the official residence. The screen cuts to indoor surveillance.

Lin Yunnan went directly to the third floor and arrived at the door of the Duchess's bedroom.

The girl on duty at the door went to knock on the door to report. Then the girl stretched out her hand to make a guide for Lin Yunnan to enter.

Madame's bedroom surveillance could not be captured.

Shao leaning, the lady followed Lin Yunnan out nervously, did not explain anything to the attendants, and went directly out of the elevator out of the gate of the mansion.

Mrs. did not ask for her own car, but walked out of the street quickly under the guidance of Lin Yunnan.

When we were about to get to the side of the street, several taxis followed.

Lin Yunnan took his wife's hand and got into the middle car. Strangely, the one in front did not give way, and the one behind did not follow, and three taxis, which were almost identical, quickly merged into the traffic on the main road.

This is the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, and it is also the richest street, the street is full of people, most of the people walking are more than 10 million billionaires, and the driving is ordinary people. A small number of vehicles are moving slowly. Three taxis are leisurely and unhurried through the streets. Constantly switching municipal surveillance, the camera is rigidly gripping the target vehicle.

Suddenly, the screen began to flicker, and after jumping a few frames in a row, it began to shake evenly up, down, left, and right.

Obviously, this is the surveillance equipment shaking. And this shaking is very irregular.

Then there was a scene of horror, like a riot in the crowd, and as if someone was frightened and rushed in the direction of the camera.

The clear blue sky suddenly disappeared. What dominates the screen is the constantly tumbling dark clouds, which flip very fast, as if something is arching under the dark clouds. And, strangely, the clouds were not just on the canopy, but were constantly tumbling and sinking, and gradually, more than half of Bahnhofstrasse was swallowed up by them. What's even more terrifying is that in the middle of the rolling dark clouds, you can see the engulfed vehicle, the shadow of a pedestrian, the roof of a house that has been torn off, the trees on the side of the street, and several obese pet dogs. It's like you're caught up in a whirlpool.

In the blink of an eye, the three taxis were also engulfed in dark clouds as thick as ink, and although there was no shadow of them swept into the sky, they completely disappeared from the surveillance.

Peter's eyes widened in disbelief, then closed in disappointment. Just as he was shaking his head and sighing, Lao A reminded him, Old K, please keep watching.

The screen no longer shaky, but the frame of the picture continues to scroll up and down, and after dozens of seconds, the monitoring returns to normal.

What is puzzling is that the canopy in front of the camera is still blue. Bahnhofstrasse is still full of traffic, the century-old buildings on both sides of the street are intact, and countless bankers and their families are in a hurry to sightsee and shop, as if nothing had happened in the surveillance just now.

Peter was dumbfounded. At first, I thought I was wrong, and rubbed my eyes, but later found that I was not wrong, everything in the monitoring was true, and turned to the old A road, this is impossible, this is impossible. Isn't this a ghost in the daytime? Where is the ghost in this world? Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it.

Peter left his seat and walked to the window with square steps, his pipe inhaling without leaving his mouth, and the room was filled with smoke.

"Old K, this is true. We also thought at first that this was a man-made man. But there are thousands of municipal surveillance cameras on this Banhof Strasse, and they belong to different departments. The source of our video was not the camera of one or more ownership units, and immediately after the incident, we organized personnel to inspect the surveillance equipment of that section of the street scene at that time, and the results were found to be intact. We also suspected that there was a problem in the middle, and we also tried to find out one by one, but the results were disappointing. No issues were found. So, there is only one conclusion, the horror in the video did happen, but it is very likely to happen in another time and space, but it happened to be captured by the camera at the time, just like the mirage that the world often sees, the continent we live in cannot replicate the scene in the sky at all, so people unanimously recognize the existence of different time and space. Otherwise, it can't be explained. ”

"Do you believe it?" asked Peter, turning his head quickly.

"When did the Shadow Troopers have a sci-fi genius. All of them have a big brain, and they have another time and space!" Peter sneered, "Evidence, I only value evidence. Don't just sci-fi at every turn, when did our shadow team develop the style of relying on imagination to handle cases. You say no, old Brother A. ”

"Boss, no, K, you have a point. The second Q knows your character, and you will never believe the explanation of science fiction, so immediately call an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. Old A carefully explained.

"Good. The disappearance of Madame is kept strictly confidential. Notify me as soon as there is news. Go get busy. After speaking, he took out a well-packaged Changbai Mountain thousand-year-old ginseng in the drawer and handed it to Lao A, nodded at him, and patted him on the shoulder.

As soon as Old A left, Peter called Wuxi.

"Let's go see Yu Zimo today. Peter said casually.

"Huh?" exclaimed Wu Xi, "how can you break the rules. If you want to go out, you must inform the relevant departments at least two days in advance, and you must have the proper arrangements of the Confederate security department, otherwise you can't act without permission, this is your own rule for the high-ranking officials of the Shenjue Gate. ”

"I know. I won't break the rules. Just take you and the sheep with you. In addition, you telegraphed my intentions to Brigadier General Kurban, the new head of Confederate security, and asked him to keep my whereabouts secret. ”

······

Yu Zimo has been lying in the central hospital for some time. Doctors have not been able to diagnose the cause of her illness.

Dean Pavlov, who had been beaten by the security guards, had been suffering from lingering fears of being abused again in front of the little girl's ward, and every time he came to visit, he was accompanied by a smiling face before entering the door.

"Mom. What the hell is wrong with me?" she asked, grabbing Meng Xinman's hand.

"It's okay, Zimo. You may be too tired. You should recover after a period of rest. Meng Xinman's heart hurts her daughter, and it's hard to say more.

"Mom, I really don't feel like I'm sick. It's just that occasionally I can't lift my breath and my whole body is weak. It could be that the blood pressure is a little low. You tell the doctor to let me go out of the hospital and prescribe me some medicine. Zimo begged Meng Xinman.

Meng Xinman just smiled bitterly and hugged Zimo in his arms, and said, Silly child, Mom knows what to do.

At this time, no one knew the bitterness in her heart. A series of strange things happened around her one after another, and she knew who it was coming for, but why was even the child's ward guarded, and ordinary people couldn't enter the ward to visit.

Meng Xinman is Yu Xiaotian's wife after all, the husband and wife have been together for decades, she knows what her husband does, and she knows what may happen, but she just can't say it, even if it is her own daughter.

Could it be that the covert operation that is bigger than the sky has already been carried out? Smell of the unusual on all sides?

Or, it was Xiaotian's imminent instructions, and it was the Duke who was in trouble.

When the Shadow Clans learned that the Marquis was coming to the Central Hospital, they secretly strengthened their guard. This alert is not an increase in the number of personnel, but the use of a large number of high-tech means, in a word, from the arrival of the marquis in Zurich, will completely paralyze the enemy's surveillance equipment.

Brigadier General Kurban received a call from the Grand Secretary Wu Xi, demarcated a safe travel route for Wu Xi, mobilized the Confederate armed forces, and built a safe passage for the Marquis along the way, and once the Marquis arrived in Zurich, the three-dimensional security network of land, sea and air was immediately activated. This is already the protection specification of the top leadership of the Confederacy.

The Marquis did not ask Kurban for special help. He was only one of the fighters who asked the Confederate security services to start annual flight training and a large number of fighters to conduct transcontinental combat duty training.

When the fighters arrived at Zurich International Airport to refuel, it was already a brightly lit evening. All pilots were instructed to stay on the ground for three minutes before exiting the cabin. Taking advantage of this gap, the Marquis and his party were quietly picked up by a black minibus.

When Marquis Peter appeared in Yu Zimo's ward, Meng Xinman had just left, and the girl was sleeping. Suddenly a tall figure entered, with yellow hair always unkempt, a pipe that never left his hand, and small black eyes that shone sharply.

"Uncle Peter, why are you here?" Yu Zimo reacted, and hurriedly propped himself up and lifted his upper body.

"Zimo is sick, how can I, who is an uncle, not come? Peter said with a smile as he walked.

"Oh, I don't dare to be, I really don't dare to be. You're the leader of our Confederacy, and you're so busy every day, you still remember me as a little girl. It moved me to death. "There was a lovely smile on the pale face, still so humorous. Move your body to get off the bed and get off the ground.

Peter walked over quickly, held her shoulder, didn't let him move, and said with a mouth full of smoke: "Girl, first of all, you have made a conceptual mistake, I am not a leader, the real leader of the Confederacy is only Lord Zhao Bingguo, the first-class duke." Secondly, the reason why I remember you is that you interviewed me for the first time and told me the reason for calling me uncle, and I think that reason is too reasonable, too touching and too right, you say, can I forget you as a niece, especially when she is sick. ”

Yu Zimo kept nodding, and at the same time stretched out a hand in front of his nose and kept fanning, his eyes narrowed, and his nose shrunk.

"Alright, alright, don't act like this. Peter quickly took his pipe out of his mouth, knocked the ash off the ash on the bin beside the bed, and said, "Well, you ghost, you are the first person in the Confederate to dislike the Marquis's smoking to your face, and you even let me put out the pipe of your own accord." ”

"Haha, a must, a must. Hey, uncle, did you really come to see your niece, I'm afraid you came here to inspect the way, right?" Yu Zimo, who was not in good spirits, joked.

Peter was glad to see that the little girl was so optimistic in her sickness. Uncle, I made a special trip to put down the big things of the Confederacy and come to see you, little girl.

"Bring it! quick, bring it!" Zimo stretched out his white but skinny hands and shook them, and his head shook from side to side.

"What?" Peter wondered.

"A gift. Didn't you say you had to have a gift when you came to see me?"

"Wuxi, come in. Peter shouted to the door.

"My lord, what do you command?" the secretary Wu Xi answered.

"What about gifts?"

"What kind of gift?" Wu Xi was a little confused.

"A gift for Zimo. A gift for the doctor's number. Didn't you get ready?" Peter's little eyes kept blinking, and Wu Xi finally understood.

"Report to the adults, damn the little ones. The European sausage and caviar, as well as the durian pizza and vanilla ice cream you ordered, were all ready, but because of the haste of departure, the gifts were all left in the airport lounge. I'm really sorry Miss Yu. Wu Xi looked very remorseful.

Peter was praising this kid's improvisation, Zimo grabbed his sleeve and asked innocently, uncle, how do you know what I like to eat the most?

Peter was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought, and said, "Guess what?

You use Confederate security forces to investigate me? Zimo made a bold guess.

Make a big fuss, is my uncle a person who uses public weapons for private purposes?

Did you see my mom bought it for me?

Neither. Tell you girl, you were already a big girl when you called me uncle, and when your uncle met you, you were still in your mother's womb.

Uncle knows my mother? Zimo became even more curious.

Ms. Meng Xinman, that is an amazing woman. Beautiful, generous, gentle, and especially valuable is wisdom and wisdom. Peter said from the bottom of his heart. It is my greatest luck to know your mother in this life, and not being able to be with your mother is the main reason why I am willing to be a duke.

When he said this, Peter did not look like a leader of the Confederacy at all, a Hualong high-tech tycoon who once frightened the people of the rivers and lakes, but an infatuated man.

Uncle, so there was a story between you and my mother?

Little girl, let's make a exchange, you tell me about your illness. I'll tell you the story of me and your mother. What do you think?

The little girl's eyes were boneless, and she thought that this exchange was very cost-effective, and she agreed.

She then told Peter in great detail the time, place, and events of how she felt suddenly unwell.

Peter was afraid that she would miss any details, and reminded her many times in the middle. As a result, many of the places he had predicted in advance coincided.

"I'm done, it's time for you to speak, uncle. Zimo stared at Peter.

"That was more than twenty years ago······" Peter spoke.

"Lord Marquis, please go out, we are ordinary ordinary people, and we can't afford to climb high. ”

I don't know when, Meng Xinman walked in with a delicate lunch box, and when he saw this familiar and unfamiliar man, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, and he deliberately said in a stiff voice.
