Chapter 239: The State of Affairs
Since the occurrence of the "5.7 incident" tentatively named by the department, Zhou Baixiong, as one of the leaders of the nine special service brigades, has been ordered to be transferred to the capital headquarters and jointly investigate the matter according to the instructions of his superiors.
In normal times, each detachment has its own province under its supervision, and no detachment is allowed to carry out official duties across provinces without the permission of the general unit, so as to avoid a shortage of personnel after a major problem occurs in the province. After all, the number of psionic people is scarce, and the detachment of a province is as few as four or five people, and as many as seven or eight people, if you take people across provinces to perform official duties at will, it will inevitably cause the province's defense to be empty, and who will be responsible if something goes wrong in the future?
At least after consulting the corps, the corps will have time to coordinate personnel to fill the vacant posts as soon as possible and ensure local defense problems to the greatest extent.
This time when he came to the capital, Zhou Baixiong only brought Lin Yi alone.
Because the Shenhai municipality he was in charge of was the most prosperous metropolis in China, and the local special service personnel could not be easily transferred unless there were special circumstances, but this transfer was personally named by his superiors, so Zhou Baixiong had to put down the work at hand and hurried to the capital.
After he arrived in the capital, he learned that this transfer came from his old partner, Jiang Chou, who is now the leader of the first special service detachment in charge of the capital's defense and security, and specially asked his superiors for instructions.
He and Jiang Chou are the same group of people trained by the corps, and in the past, they have teamed up in the seventh detachment to investigate and deal with many illegal and criminal incidents of psionic apostles, and they have cooperated very tacitly with each other, until the old people retreated into the background, and their group of newcomers officially took the position, and since then they have gone their separate ways, and they have not seen each other a few times throughout the year.
Whether it is public or private, Zhou Baixiong's ability and strength are enough to be one of the project leaders of the "5.7 incident".
As soon as he arrived in the capital, Zhou Baixiong was so busy that he forgot about Chen Ping for a while, and it was not until they received the important information from abroad that his figure appeared in his mind.
He once entrusted his colleagues in the capital to pay attention to Chen Ping, but later the people who monitored him found that his daily life was monotonous, and gradually relaxed his surveillance, even Zhou Baixiong, who had obtained first-hand surveillance information, did not find anything suspicious about him.
Perhaps, as he said, he just wants to live an undisturbed ordinary life.
The question is, will Zhou Baixiong's years of professional habits be believed?
The answer is obviously not.
So, he found Chen Ping again.
The doors of the major teaching buildings to the rooftop are locked on weekdays, and it seems that some students who can't think of it jump off the building, or do something that violates school discipline on the rooftop, after all, there have been cases of senior brothers setting off fireworks on the rooftop and pulling banners to confess to girls.
For example, the door of the stage today is open, and there is no violent destruction, but it is properly opened with a key.
After Chen An stepped into the rooftop, he immediately saw Zhou Baixiong standing on the edge of the rooftop guardrail, which was really his majestic tower-like physique.
He turned his back to him, as if he was quietly looking down and admiring the scenery of the campus, even if Chen An walked closer, it didn't cause him to turn back.
"Do you know what I saw?"
He said suddenly.
Without waiting for Chen An to answer, he said to himself.
"I saw the future of my country. ”
Chen An didn't understand why Zhou Baixiong had such an inexplicable lyrical behavior, just as the Chinese teacher would often ask the author about the central idea expressed in the exam paper, maybe the author just said something casually, but it was over-interpreted.
So he didn't talk to him, because he wouldn't waste time on something that didn't make sense.
"Where were you the morning before yesterday?"
Then, Zhou Baixiong threw out a question that was full of jumpiness, and even Chen An was slow to react until he was afraid.
"School, library. ”
"Is there a proof?"
"There are surveillance inside and outside the library. ”
"What about after the Sealed Space appears?"
"Still staying in the library and not leaving half a step. ”
"Is there a proof?"
"Who can prove it?"
Chen An asked rhetorically.
His rhetorical question was not without reason, once the sealed space was unfolded, who could provide him with an alibi except for the psionic person? Although the surveillance could find the before and after pictures of the unfolding of the closed space, if the person concerned returned to the same place before the sealed space was lifted, he could also falsify the evidence of his presence, so Chen An did not mention the surveillance again.
"Do you know what happened the day before yesterday?" Zhou Baixiong glanced at him quietly and diverted the topic.
"Is it about Hou Wenjun?" Chen Andao.
"You know?" asked Zhou Baixiong.
"The school's notice about her is suspicious. Chen An said calmly.
"It seems that you care about her very much!" Zhou Baixiong narrowed his eyes.
"It's a classmate. Chen An said indifferently.
"Ouroboros' men have taken her. Zhou Baixiong said.
"Oh. ”
"But not long ago we received an important piece of information that she was not captured by the other side. Zhou Baixiong said.
"And then?" Chen An asked.
And then ...... I suspect she's still in this school. ”
Zhou Baixiong's tone of voice became a little meaningful.
"Chief Zhou, you're almost pointing at my nose and saying it has something to do with me. Chen An sighed lightly.
"I didn't say it, it was your own thing. Zhou Baixiong glanced at him and said.
"Chief Zhou, I remember I told you that I just want to live a normal life. Chen An shook his head and said. "So I won't get involved in any troublesome vortex of right and wrong without putting my life in danger. ”
"I don't mean anything else. Zhou Baixiong still didn't hesitate. "I just want to remind you that ordinary life is not easy to come by, please cherish it. ”
"Thank you, I'll remember your advice. Chen An nodded.
"If one day you figure it out, remember to give me a call. ”
After Zhou Baixiong said this, he turned around and strode away from the rooftop.
Looking at the back of the other party's departure, it can be easily seen from the conversation just now that he has been cheating on himself, although Chen An has covered up the past well, but this undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for him!
He's been thoroughly targeted!
In this way, he must be more cautious if he wants to meet Hou Wenjun in the future.
Fortunately, after he rescued Hou Wenjun, he had already carefully arranged his back hand, otherwise the moment he stepped out of the apartment building with his front foot, Hou Wenjun would have been quietly transferred and taken away.
"It's so pervasive!"
For this reason, Chen An couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The power of the individual is always small in front of the behemoth of the country, even in the world of mythical immortals, you don't see that the powerful and unruly Sun Monkey was finally pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, and let the system of gods and Buddhas such as Heavenly Court be kneaded and played with in the palm of his hand.
There are extraordinary forces in the world, and when the civilization of human society is still in the backward era of feudal ignorance, the psionic apostles do have the ability to go beyond the system of the state and get away with it, and even affect the rise and fall of a country. However, as human civilization entered the industrialization and information age, the psionic apostles could no longer act as recklessly as before.
Human beings are social animals, and as long as they live in human society for one day, their behavior will be governed by social rules.
No one is free.
Some people think that living in seclusion in the mountains and old forests can transcend things, but since ancient times, who has sought immortality and great freedom? People can paralyze themselves, but they cannot deny reality, and from beginning to end, they are all members of human society.
Chen An knew that no matter how carefully he considered his various actions, there would be times when he couldn't hide them, and the unknown factors of force majeure might appear every moment, and then suddenly burst a hole in that seemingly seamless net.
So he didn't want to hide it for long, he just wanted to leave him enough time to study.
Chen An rented three rooms in the apartment building, one is a professor's, and two are secret transactions without a contract in private, but the latter's transaction undoubtedly has great risks, if the homeowner is a skinless and faceless scoundrel, he can tear up this kind of oral agreement with no legal effect at will, even Chen An is helpless, but he carefully understood the situation of the homeowner before renting, and deliberately selected the homeowner who is honest and trustworthy and has a good reputation.
However, wealth moves people's hearts, and no one can predict people's greed.
Therefore, Chen An must re-conceive a backup plan and act under the nose of the country, and the cunning rabbit may not be safe.
The weather in the capital in May is still cool, far from the unbearable heat of summer, and under the difference in physical fitness, many students have already put on T-shirts and shorts, but there are also many people who wear long sleeves and long pants, and Chen An is one of the latter.
It's not that he's physically afraid of the cold, but that his long sleeves and trousers can hide the scars on his body.
Since the beginning of the next semester, he has become interested in medical books, which he talked about when Qian Xiaodong greeted him.
Nowadays, in addition to incurable diseases, or surgeries that pay great attention to technology and operation, he can deal with ordinary minor injuries and illnesses by himself, so as not to go to the hospital after another injury and leave important relevant clues.
In the battle with Su Yi, he seemed to be seriously injured, but in fact he did not hurt his muscles, bones and internal organs, most of the skin injuries were bleeding too much, and after quietly taking away some drugs and medical equipment from the logistics warehouse of the medical school, it was more than enough to treat himself and Hou Wenjun.
Anyway, the logistics warehouse will have a loss report every year, even if some drugs and equipment are missing, it will not cause suspicion, and even if there is, the other party is afraid that the first one will suspect that it is insider corruption.
"Xiaodong, Zhili, have you been in touch with Shen Lingyun recently? I have never been able to get through to her phone, and no one has replied to my messages. ”
Back in the dormitory, Meng Fanfei didn't concentrate on playing games in front of the computer as usual, he was bored scrolling through the forum, picking up his mobile phone from time to time to glance at it, and finally seemed to be really impatient before asking.
"Nope!"
"Don't talk about us, Haiyan and the others also haven't contacted Shen Lingyun. The English level 4 exam is approaching, and Jiang Zhili, who is reviewing the resource book, raised his head and said.
"This is too strange, something happened in my hometown, there is no need to turn off the phone, right?" Meng Fanfei said with an irritated face. "It's like they're missing now. ”
"Maybe Shen Lingyun's hometown is in a mountainous area where there is no water and electricity signal?" Qian Xiaodong yawned on the bed, as if he had just woken up.
"Just kidding, what age is there still such a place now?" Meng Fan said. "Just looking at Shen Lingyun's family situation, where will her hometown go?"
"It's hard to say, after all, Haiyan and the others have never heard of where Shen Lingyun's hometown is. Jiang Zhili said.
"Coincidentally, in addition to Shen Lingyun's family having an emergency that day, Su Yingsleeve of their department was the same. Qian Xiaodong got up from the bed and prepared to brush his teeth and wash his face to sober up. "All of them were gone at noon. ”
"Don't forget that there is also Zhou Mengqi, it seems that she was hospitalized with a sudden illness. Jiang Zhili said.
The funniest thing is that Su Yi, that is, her boyfriend, the next day the government announced that he was arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of manipulating stock prices. Qian Xiaodong gloated. "What kind of bad luck do you think she's doing?!"
"Eh, I don't know what kind of family matter Shen Lingyun is so anxious, so she left without even saying hello. Meng Fanfei sighed, not caring about what they said at all.
According to the statements of the parties Yu Haiyan and Fan Qingqing, when the three of them were about to go to the auditorium to watch a drama that day, Shen Lingyun suddenly answered a phone call and left in a hurry.
There are capable people in the government, and the other party is like an agent in the science fiction movie "Men in Black", who flashes a pen in front of you and erases your previous memories, although the methods are different, but in essence they have the same effect.
If not, how can the government stop the public and cover up the truth when special events have occurred over the years?
Under the strict control of various governments, the media on the surface does not want to see this kind of video news that affects social stability, but on the contrary, there are often such gossip rumors circulating on the underground dark web, which makes it difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake.
At present, Chen An is thinking about a very serious problem.
Although he temporarily concealed the matter of Hou Wenjun from the state organs represented by Zhou Baixiong, Su Yi knew who he was! Once the situation gradually subsided, he was not afraid that Su Yi would come to the door, but he was afraid that Su Yi would threaten him with Chen's mother and hand over Hou Wenjun!
So—
Whether it's Su Yi or Li Zongxiu, they all have to die!
He alone would definitely not be able to kill these two people, but what if he added Hou Wenjun?
At this moment, a bold plan gradually appeared in his heart.
"Chen Ping?!"
At this time, Qian Xiaodong suddenly looked at himself intently and shouted.
"What's the matter?!"
Chen An, who interrupted his thoughts, turned his head to look at the other party and said calmly.
"It's nothing, maybe it's my delusion, I always feel like you were a little quiet just now......"
