Chapter 40: False and Unimportant
ICU ward of Shanbei City Hospital. He Wei and Lu Ming both wore full-body protective clothing, and came to Zhang Dingshan's hospital bed under the leadership of the doctor.
At this moment, Zhang Dingshan was lying unconscious on the hospital bed. He was covered with all kinds of surveillance equipment, and the display screen was constantly sounding with unknown sounds. The attending doctor stood next to him with several nurses and nurses.
At this moment, Lu Ming's heart was full of sadness and depression.
After a long time, Lu Ming sighed silently, turned around, and stretched out his hand to the attending doctor.
"Excuse me, doctor. Sheriff Zhang will rely on you to take care of it in the future. β
Although the doctor didn't know the identities of Lu Ming and Zhang Dingshan, he could guess that their identities were not ordinary.
"Sergeant Lu, Sergeant He, don't worry. The patient's vital signs have been stable and not dangerous. β
Lu Ming nodded and shook hands with several nurses and nurses next to him. Afterwards. He took a step back and bowed to the group.
Lu Ming knew in his heart that with Zhang Dingshan's situation at the moment, there was probably no danger to his life. However, long-term coma can still have a bad effect on the body. For example, bedsores and the like.
However, the maintenance of physical health depends largely on nurses and nursing staff.
"Sergeant Lu, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of the patient."
After communicating with the doctors, Lu Ming and He Wei walked to the door of the ward. After finally turning their heads to look at Zhang Dingshan, who was still unconscious, the two withdrew and gently closed the door.
Walking out of the hospital, He Weicai said in a low voice: "Why don't you send the captain to the headquarters?" β
The Logistics Division of the Department of Planetary Security also has a hospital dedicated to the health of the staff of the Department of Planetary Security. There, Zhang Dingshan should be better cared for.
Lu Ming said: "Of course it's good to be able to send it." However, I don't know if the captain's situation at the moment is suitable for a long journey. β
It is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the capital city. Even if it's by plane, it can take hours. And along the way from the hospital to the airport, and then from the airport to the hospital, I don't know how many times I have to toss along the way.
"Let the doctors evaluate it."
Lu Ming thought about it, but nodded: "It's okay." Let Qingliang contact the doctor in the logistics department. β
After negotiating the matter, the two returned to their temporary residence in the manor. After Lu Qingliang confirmed the time with Li Wenhua's office, the two opened the video conference room.
The figures of Li Wenhua and Lu Qingliang each appeared in their windows.
"I already know the situation. Lu Ming, you tell me more about it. β
In the window, Li Wenhua's eyebrows were twisted, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Lu Ming knew that in addition to the simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, Li Wenhua and Zhang Dingshan also had a good personal relationship. At this moment, something happened to Zhang Dingshan, and he must be very worried.
Lu Ming had already sorted out his thoughts, and at this moment, he told the story one by one.
So Li Wenhua's brows furrowed even deeper.
He didn't go directly to talk about the details of the matter, but said: "Your second team is now temporarily without a captain, and there is a vacancy. I think I can let other teams take over the follow-up investigation. β
The leader of a team is the most important role in a squad. Having lost the captain at this moment, Li Wenhua was very suspicious of the combat effectiveness of the second action team at this moment.
Personal friendship is personal relationship. When it comes to business, it is still necessary to focus on work.
He Wei raised her eyebrows and immediately said, "Director Li, I think that this eucalyptus has always been investigated by our team, and we are the most familiar with it." There's no need to hand it over to another squad. β
Lu Ming also said: "I also think that it is most appropriate for our team to continue this eucalyptus." β
"Is this your mutual decision?"
All three said at the same time, "Yes." β
Prior to this debriefing, the three had already discussed the issue in private.
There was indeed a shortfall in the second team of operations. Zhang Dingshan's coma did objectively weaken the combat effectiveness of the second action team. But......
This eucalyptus may involve Zhang Dingshan's follow-up recovery. This kind of thing, put it in the hands of others, how can you settle down?
You still have to take this eucalyptus into your own hands. What's more, my team has been investigating from the beginning of the case to the present, and many of the details cannot be experienced without personal experience. No matter how detailed the handover information is, there will inevitably be a lot of omissions. There are also certain difficulties for other teams to take over.
In public and private, the three of them must continue to hold the right to run this eucalyptus in their hands.
Li Wenhua pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
"It's fine. Then this eucalyptus, I will continue to let you do it. However, a snake without a head is not good. The three of you can temporarily elect a captain to take on decision-making power for the time being. β
"I choose Lu Ming."
"Me too."
The three of them had also discussed this issue privately before. The conclusion is that in the second team of action, in addition to Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming is the most suitable person to temporarily assume the position of captain.
Lu Ming didn't have enough leadership temperament and not enough determination to become the spiritual banner of the squad. He is best suited to the role of the team's brains. It is certainly not okay to let him be the captain for a long time. But it's still okay to hold on temporarily.
Lu Ming was the one to do.
He solemnly said to Li Wenhua: "Director Li, I will find out this eucalyptus with my teammates." β
"Okay."
Li Wenhua respected the collective resolution of the second action team and approved Lu Ming's proposal to serve as the temporary captain.
"Lu Ming, tell me about your analysis of eucalyptus at this moment."
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "I think the reason why Captain Zhang has discussed in advance that if he can't tell the secret after he succeeds as the sect leader, he must not force it, and he must still insist on telling the secret under the premise of putting his own life safety first, and it has led to the confrontation between his own will and the unknown force at this moment, which leads to the possibility that he may become an idiot, and he can only be deeply anesthetized as a last resort, the most fundamental reason is that the captain thinks that this secret is important enough." It's important to say it, even at the cost of your life. β
This is indeed the only possibility that can explain why Zhang Dingshan broke his promise. If the secret wasn't important enough, why should he?
Li Wenhua said slowly: "You have also discussed, if you can't say it, you can direct the follow-up actions on your own under the premise that Dingshan doesn't tell this secret." β
"Two possibilities. First, the captain feels that he is not capable enough to make judgments and direct follow-up actions, but must speak them out, and with the help of the collective strength, he can have a clear enough judgment.
But I don't think that's very likely. The reason is simple, the time was too short at the time. In such a short period of time, the captain should not be able to make such a certain judgment. β
γ
No matter how difficult things are, after knowing them, to coming to a conclusion that they are unable to solve, there must be a process of thinking, trying, inducting, and summarizing between the two, right? It is only after going through this process that one can be sure that one really can't do it.
But it is clear that Zhang Dingshan did not go through this process at that time.
Of course, this may also be because things are so difficult that you don't need to think about the process of trying it out to immediately come to the conclusion that you can't do it yourself. But it's unlikely.
Li Wenhua bowed: "The second possibility? β
"The second possibility is that the unknown force is not only preventing the captain from telling this secret, but also preventing him from doing something or preventing him from using it as a basis."
Lu Ming told his guess.
Li Wenhua's face showed a look of contemplation.
"So, after Joyama learned this secret, he was no longer able to direct the follow-up operations, so he had to hope to tell this secret so that you could do the things he couldn't do in his place?"
"Yes."
"It's a possibility. So, do you lean towards the second possibility? β
"Yes."
Li Wenhua bowed his head slightly: "What do you think of the sentence 'the god of fate is resurrecting'?" β
This sentence is almost the information that Zhang Dingshan reluctantly said and conveyed at the cost of his life. This information cannot be overstated.
"Based on the available information, we can only assume that the fate of the fetus in the womb of the pregnant woman is the nourishment for the resurrection of this unknown being called the 'God of Destiny'. And its resurrection must not be a good thing. β
"What do you think of the god of fate?"
"I don't have any ideas at the moment. There's so little information right now, I don't know what it is. But it won't be something conventional. β
Li Wenhua said: "Do you have any other ideas?" β
Lu Ming said: "I think that the information ...... 'the god of fate is resurrecting', although it is important, although it was conveyed by the captain at the cost of his life, this information should not be important." At least, not the most important. β
"Huh?"
At this moment, not only Li Wenhua, He Wei and Lu Qingliang were also full of surprise.
At this point, Lu Ming had never communicated with the two before.
"How is this possible? If not the most important piece of information, the captain he ......"
He Wei couldn't help but retort.
She saw it with her own eyes. In that case, under the premise that Zhang Dingshan's life was seriously threatened, he didn't pick the most important information to say, but said something inconsequential?
Even if you don't analyze it from this aspect, if you integrate all the information in the entire case, 'the god of fate is resurrecting', which involves the revival of an unknown existence, and this unknown existence is very likely to bring disaster to the human world, this information, in any case, can't be said to be unimportant, right?
Lu Ming said slowly: "I don't think the captain's will can be strong enough to be hard anti-vomiting elixir. β
He Wei's eyes froze, as if she wanted to say something, but the next moment she closed her mouth again.
Lu Ming's words inspired her, and she suddenly thought of something.
Throughout the incident, the disposition of the previous Destiny Organization Sect Leaders has proven that the Truth Elixir cannot make people who are restricted by that unknown force tell their secrets. This proves that the limiting power of the unknown force is more powerful than the elixir of truth.
At least not less than the Trutruth Agent.
But...... It is impossible for a normal person's will to resist the elixir.
Is Zhang Dingshan a normal person?
Yes, definitely.
His will, of course, is stronger than that of ordinary people. In the face of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, there will be no waves in his heart, and he can still maintain a certain degree of calm. But if you want to say that Zhang Dingshan can resist the truth spitting agent, still no one will believe it.
That's something that can't be done.
And, since Zhang Dingshan can't resist the elixir, why do you think that Zhang Dingshan can tell the most important secret under the restriction of that unknown force?
It doesn't make sense.
"So, what do you think?"
"There are still two possibilities. One, at that time, the captain was already controlled by that force to a certain extent. This information may be false. β
"Fake?!"
Several people looked at each other. Even Li Wenhua couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
No one had ever thought of this possibility before.
In this way, Zhang Dingshan's state at that time was not trying to say something, but, but trying to control himself not to say this?
Several people thought for a moment and were shocked to find that this logic could also be established.
After all, there should be no difference between "trying to say something" and "trying not to say something". At that time, he was preconceived and only subconsciously thought that Zhang Dingshan was going to say something.
Li Wenhua frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "What is the second possibility?" β
"The second possibility, as I said before, is that the information that the god of fate is resurrected' is just a marginal and less important piece of information in the secret about the god of fate. It is precisely because it is more marginal, less important, and less restrictive, that the captain can resist the restrictions of the unknown force, and with his strong willpower, he can say it bluntly. β
Lu Ming's logic is rigorous and impeccable. It was only at this moment that He Wei and Lu Qingliang discovered that this piece of information, which they had previously regarded as a treasure, was either fake or unimportantβif it was true, it must not be important.
"Personally, though, I'd prefer the second option. The reason is, one, I don't understand what kind of god of fate is, and what is the point of passing this fake news to us. Is it misleading? It always feels unlikely. After all, we don't have much to think about it right now. Second, I feel that it should be easier to control what you don't say than what you say, right? β
The effectiveness of Lu Ming's arguments is not strong. At best, it can only be described as some personal inclinations.
Li Wenhua bowed slightly: "So, what are you going to do next?" β
Lu Ming thought about it slowly, and said slowly: "Director Li, I don't actually have any clear ideas for the next step. But generally speaking, I feel that we should try to investigate as much as possible in the direction of the information that the god of fate is resurrecting to see if we can find any clues. β
