"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind?" Zhao Xuan asked in surprise.

"Not necessarily." Lin Ling shook his head and didn't say anything anymore, just lowered his head and continued to flip through the documents.

However, Song Shaofeng saw that Zhao Xuan didn't understand what Lin Ling meant, and explained for Lin Ling: "What Lin Ling means is that maybe the latter person is also following us, but in a different way." ”

Lin Ling nodded and agreed with Song Shaofeng's explanation.

Song Shaofeng flipped through the document for a while, handed it back to Zhao Xuan, and said: "Let the public security stop it, it can be found to this extent, and it will be a waste of police power to investigate it again." Relay the basic information of these two people to the national security and ask them to check their backgrounds. ”

Lin Ling also finished flipping through the documents, pursed his lips, and threw them back to Zhao Xuan without saying a word.

It seems that it was because she didn't find a second person, which made her a little annoyed.

Zhao Xuan took the two documents, looked at the two helplessly, and asked, "Have you finished reading?" Don't analyze it carefully? ”

Song Shaofeng turned his head and glanced at Zhao Xuan in surprise: "Aren't you in charge?" It would be nice if we understood. ”

Zhao Xuan touched his nose helplessly, confirmed with Lin Ling who was who, and then looked through the two documents in his hand.

The person who followed Lin Ling and Zhao Xuan was named John Jackson.

Zhao Xuan silently complained about the name that can be called the European "Wang Wei", and continued to look down.

The 41-year-old man was a southern European who had entered the country from the capital and had a tourist passport.

The other person is Ferdinand Philip, 38 years old, from Eastern Europe. It is also from the capital, and it is a business passport.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuan is not very familiar with the names of the Slavic regions, otherwise he would have to complain about this Eastern European "Wang Wei" again.

Ferdinand used his identity information only twice in the country, once to check in to a hotel in the capital, and the other to rent a car in the capital.

And the car he rented only appeared once in the capital, and then there was no news.

That Fei John is even more outrageous, after entering the country, he has not registered his identity information once.

In other words, since these two people entered the country, there has been almost no news.

In the entire public security system, there was no investigation at all about how the two came to City C!

Just by virtue of this content, Zhao Xuan dared to pack tickets, and there was definitely a problem with these two people.

Two stacks of documents, some of which are copies of the identity information of the two people that have been verified, such as passports, entry tickets, etc.

Most of the rest are surveillance screenshots of the two of them appearing under various cameras in Chifeng in the past two days.

However, there are not many screenshots, and the average is seven or eight for one person.

Except for when following Lin Ling and Zhao Xuan the afternoon before yesterday, there was only one other surveillance, John and Ferdinand appeared one after the other, and no intersection between the two was found.

Zhao Xuan didn't know how Lin Ling was sure that Ferdinand was following John, but Lin Ling was sitting in the car, so Zhao Xuan hurriedly asked.

Lin Ling took the information in Zhao Xuan's hand and turned out two surveillance photos, one was the two of them appearing at the same time, and the other was not.

Lin Ling pointed to Ferdinand's figure in the photo and said, "Look at the action." ”

Zhao Xuan looked at it carefully for a long time, and he didn't see any other differences between the two movements, except for one being sideways and the other not.

"That's the movement, leaning next to various obstacles, and turning sideways to reduce the area of the body." Song Shaofeng saw Zhao Xuan scratching his ears and cheeks, stretched out his hand to draw a circle on the figure of Ferdinand, and said with a smile: "The common method of tracking is simple and effective. ”

"But how can you be sure he's following this John?" Zhao Xuan was curious.

Lin Ling snorted lightly and said, "Because I didn't find out." ”

Zhao Xuan gave Lin Ling a thumbs up, this reason was simply impeccable.

After a while, Song Shaofeng saw that Zhao Xuan was still looking at a few surveillance photos over and over again, reached out and touched Zhao Xuan's arm, and said: "Don't look at it, the public security shouldn't be able to find out much, just confirming the identities of the two is estimated to take them a lot of effort, both of them have a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance, let Guoan check the background." ”

Zhao Xuan was as good as a stream, and first called the public security of N province and the public security of C city respectively, telling them that they did not need to continue, and then verbally thanked them.

Then he called the national security in the capital and asked them to help check some background information about the two abroad.

Zhang Yuan was driving a car and didn't speak until Zhao Xuan made a few phone calls, then he patted the steering wheel.

Quack laughed a few times, and said in a weird voice: "Jie Ji, these two people are not good people at first glance, they seem to have a way to die, Neizut!" Zut! ”

Before the words fell, Cheng Shuman, who was sitting behind Zhang Yuan, slapped him on the back of the head and said angrily: "Take a big-headed ghost to death!" Read too many web novels for you! ”

Zhang Yuan deliberately twisted the steering wheel and shouted, "Don't mess around!" Driving a car! You're a crime of endangering public safety, let me tell you! ”

"Drive well!" Everyone in the car grabbed the handle and scolded Zhang Yuan in unison.

Zhang Yuan shrank his neck, didn't dare to speak, and drove honestly.

This other anomaly is not in the scenic spot like the previous "Li Guanger", but in the mountains of the Daxing'an Mountains northeast of City C.

Zhao Xuan and several people took turns driving, all the way from the highway to the national highway, and then from the national highway to the provincial and county roads, and finally there was only a mountain road winding towards the mountains.

Today's destination is a forest farm, and I will spend the night in the ranger's house, and then rush to the location of the anomaly early the next morning.

The peaks of the Great Khing'an Mountains are not too steep, and the shrubs are not very dense, and along the undulating peaks, the line of sight can be seen far through the straight broad-leaved forest.

At the turn of spring and summer, the mountains are lush and green, and everyone no longer speaks, but enjoys the scenery along the way, and takes the time to relax.

Zhao Xuan looked at the surrounding scenery while recalling the content of "Sun Zhuan Er".

"Sun Zhuaner" is a banyan tree, an anomalous plant with the characteristics of a banyan tree to be precise.

It stands to reason that the banyan tree is a tropical and subtropical plant, but it appears so abruptly in the Great Khing'an Mountains where the temperate zone and the subarctic zone meet.

As for the reason for being an anomaly, it is because it is a plant that can be hunted.

This kind of predation is not a strangulation like a vine, but a real predation on nearby animals. In other words, it's a semi-carnivorous plant.

Whenever a small or medium-sized animal approaches its attack range, Sun Zhuaner will stick out several ten-centimeter-thick roots from the ground, pierce the prey's body from the bottom up, and then wrap the prey in clusters by the hanging aerial roots, and then digest the prey.

Current research does not know exactly what caused the variation in this plant.

Some of the things that can be determined now are that "Sun Zhuaner" was indeed mutated from a banyan tree.

However, it was so mutated that it almost lost its ability to reproduce, and the institute laboratory was unable to replicate and cultivate.

In other words, "Sun Zhuan Er" is the only one in the world, and there is no possibility of replication in the short term.

Most of the anomalies that are being studied or suspended by the Bureau of Anomalies belong to this stage where only some superficial phenomena can be determined, but they are limited by the level of science and technology and cannot be deeply understood.

But even these studies that are known but not known can still greatly promote the progress of science and technology.

This is also half of the reason for the existence of the anomaly, and the other half is naturally to maintain social stability.

In Zhao Xuan's thoughts, the van began to jolt.

It is a road built for the harvesting of trees, which has been halted in recent years due to the decline of forestry resources and environmental protection concerns.

Only rangers and forest firefighters occasionally walk around, and in the absence of maintenance, the road conditions are naturally not much better.

Starting from City C, the sky has gradually begun to darken here, and now it has been replaced by Cao Hui, who is relatively familiar with the road conditions, and the speed has also dropped to thirty or forty kilometers.

The crowd had traveled nearly a thousand kilometers in a whole day, and they would sit in the rickety car and start to feel a little drowsy.

At this time, the phone rang for a while, and everyone sobered up.

Cheng Shuman answered the phone, hummed a few times, and hung up.

He raised his head and said: "Not long ago, there was a new development in the homicide case of Zhao Xuan's landlord, and it was sent to the mobile phone, let's take a look." ”

Zhao Xuan opened his mobile phone according to his words, and sure enough, there was a new email in the internal mailbox, which was sent by the Internal Affairs Department of the Bureau.

It contains only one sentence: "Note the second and fifth paragraphs on page 3." ”

In addition, it is an accessory.

Opening the attachment, it was an autopsy report about Yang Xueyong, and Zhao Xuan directly found the two paragraphs marked by the Internal Affairs Department.

"The wound was a penetrating wound, 4.6 cm long and 0.8 cm wide, located between the fifth and sixth ribs of the left chest. ……”

"Comminuted fracture of the fifth and sixth ribs of the left chest......"

Although it was marked by the Internal Affairs Department, there must be something special, but Zhao Xuan didn't see it, so he had to raise his head and see what others said.

After a while, Song Shaofeng also finished reading the report, and said to Cheng Shumann in a deep voice: "Schumann, let the bureau check the people who are recording." There was nothing nearby at the time. ”

Song Shaofeng accented the word "person".

Cheng Shumann responded: "The internal affairs side has already checked, but I haven't found it." ”

After listening to this, Song Shaofeng snorted heavily and spit out three words: "Foreigner." ”

"I'll let the police pay attention to it." After Cheng Shuman finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call.

Zhao Xuan heard it in a fog, so he had to push Zhang Yuan next to him, and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?" I didn't understand at all? ”

"The dagger passes through the ribs accurately, and then the handle of the dagger breaks the two ribs, this kind of accuracy and strength, it is okay to complete one of them, but it can be done at the same time."

Zhang Yuan said leisurely: "If you can't do it, I can't do it, Lin Ling, Song Shaofeng, and Cao Hui can't do it, so there is only one possibility left......"

Zhang Yuan paused before saying the last two words: "Abnormal." ”

Zhao Xuan opened his mouth wide and was about to say something, but he heard Cao Hui, who was driving, shouting: "Be careful!" ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Xuan felt his body rush forward, and he was tightly strangled on the seat by the seat belt, and at the same time heard the rapid rustle of ABS.

Then I heard another "dang" sound, and it seemed that something had hit the bumper.

The van also came to a complete stop at this point.

Lin Ling was about to open the door and get out of the car, when he heard Song Shaofeng and Cao Hui in the front row shouting at the same time: "Don't get out of the car!" ”

After Song Shaofeng finished speaking, he even opened the levers of several weapons in the co-pilot.

This time out of the field, it was originally just a routine handover task, and even Lin Ling didn't bring a weapon, no one expected that he would be attacked here!
