"Sit down and talk. ”

Li Mai pointed to the chair, threw the cigarette on the coffee table, and said.

Zhang Qincheng looked at Li Mai and faintly felt a strong momentum rushing over. It seems that this person who claims to be his brother-in-law is only three or four years older than himself, but he gives people the kind of domineering momentum that has been in a high position for a long time, even if he is sitting. And his eyes make it impossible for anyone to keep their minds at peace - the light from those eyes seems to penetrate all the masks of the world and face the true heart of man.

Just for a moment, Zhang Qincheng suddenly felt that no matter how he covered it up, he couldn't hide his heart in front of him.

This feeling made him more and more frightened - no one wanted to be seen deep inside.

At the same time, that indescribable momentum forced Zhang Qincheng to resist the subconscious action - to sit down in front of Li Mai according to the words.

Li Mai looked at Zhang Qincheng, his eyes looked straight into his eyes like a torch, and after a while, he pointed to the cigarette on the coffee table and said, "Do you smoke?"

Zhang Qincheng nodded, picked up a cigarette and lit one, his hands trembling slightly.

"Looks like you haven't slept in a while. Li Mai said slowly.

Zhang Qincheng took a few heavy puffs, and then exhaled the smoke heavily, and his nervous feelings eased a little, but he did not answer. I don't know why, although this so-called brother-in-law himself is seeing him for the first time, he intuitively thinks that he is a good person and a person who can be good to his sister. This is a person's behavior, words and deeds, and living environment for a long time, and so on to form a special temperament and feelings to people.

But Zhang Qincheng didn't say anything.

Li Mai recalled for a moment and said, "Your current state is very similar to a person I met before. From your eyes, I'm pretty sure you've had something like him. ”

Zhang Qincheng looked at Li Mai, smoking a cigarette one by one, a little nervous and a little expectant, listening to what he said.

After sorting out his memories, Li Mai continued, "He is a student of the National Central University, the same age as you, he studies very well, and he has entered the National Space Rocket Research Center to participate in the research and development of new rockets before graduation. The first time I met him, he had almost the same expression on his face as you, full of trepidation and confusion. I can tell the difference between you and his panic and confusion and helplessness, unlike other people who encounter other things. ”

"The people of the domestic counterintelligence department of the General Directorate of Internal Affairs handed him over to me, and at the first interrogation, I did what I did and what I just did to you. Let him sit down, smoke a cigarette, and calm his mind. ”

Li Mai said, smiling slightly, but Zhang Qincheng's movements stagnated, looking at Li Mai a little blankly, becoming more and more nervous.

"A promising young man who studied space technology ended up being thrown into a military prison. Li Mai said slowly, "The crime is to sell the state's high-tech secrets. ”

Zhang Qincheng's hand was trembling, and he became more and more frightened.

Shaking his head, Li Mai said, "Do you know why he fell from the pride of heaven to a prison prisoner?" Pointing to his temple, he said, "Because he doesn't have that high-voltage wire in his head, and he doesn't repent and doesn't cooperate with the work of the case-handling agency after the crime." It's a pity for a young man. ”

Looking at Zhang Qincheng, Li Mai said, "Students studying abroad are the key targets of foreign spy agencies' rebellion. There are many examples, I think, that one is similar to yours. The same is a student studying in the United States, who was rebelled by the CIA. According to the CIA's plan, he should be an idle chess player, and after returning to China, he will work in a certain state-owned unit or enterprise or a certain key field, which will have huge destructive power at a critical moment. ”

"However, the student held on to his conviction at the last moment of the rebellion, and when he returned to China, he immediately reported his fate to the security authorities." The end result was that he only took a slight detour and returned to the avenue. His life has not changed, and he can still work, get married, and have children like ordinary people. ”

After a pause, Li Mai pointed at Zhang Qincheng and said, "I think your situation is roughly like this." ”

Zhang Qincheng looked at Li Mai in surprise and panic, and asked with trembling lips, "Who are you?"

"I said, I'm your brother-in-law. Li Mai smiled faintly and said, "Tell me what happened to you from beginning to end, and I can help you solve all your problems." ”

There was hope in Zhang Qincheng's eyes, but there was deep suspicion, "You, can you beat the CIA?"

"It's not worth mentioning if you're defeated. Li Mai said lightly.

After a pause, Li Mai Zhengse said, "You'd better explain every detail of the whole thing clearly, from beginning to end, and tell me without the slightest concealment." ”

Zhang Qincheng looked at Li Mai and inexplicably felt that he could definitely be trusted.

The cigarette butt burned his fingers, Zhang Qincheng hurriedly threw it away and took out another one. Li Mai smiled, picked up the lighter and lit it for him, Zhang Qincheng glanced at him, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke, and then he told the story.

"A month ago, I went to a party. The party was held at the home of a classmate, and a similar party was held almost once a week, and most of the participants were classmates and friends from the surrounding area, but each time a new face joined, and each time an old face was absent. It's just a very ordinary gathering of friends, playing games, drinking and chatting together. ”

Li Mai interjected with a smile: "You should say that most of the participants are Chinese students, maybe there will be some people from other Asian countries who will participate, but there will be no Japanese." ”

Zhang Qincheng looked at Li Mai in surprise, the shock in his heart was repeated, and he secretly said, how did he know, just like he also participated in a regular party!

"As I said, don't overlook any details, tell me the whole thing from beginning to end, just like a repeater. Li Mai said, stretched out his hand, and motioned for him to continue.

"That's right. Most of the participants were Chinese students. At the end of the day, we were never able to truly integrate with American students, so there was a weekly gathering with a majority of Chinese students. Of course, there were also some American students in the participants, and there were about a dozen men and women. The organizer is a Chinese-American whose home has been settled in the United States for decades, and although he has yellow skin and dark eyes, he is completely American. ”

"On that Friday, a month ago, the meeting was held on time. At that meeting, I got to know Flora. She was three years older than me, an intern at a company, very tall, with beautiful blue eyes. Zhang Qincheng fell into the memory, "I believe it was love at first sight, I saw her at a glance in the crowd, and she found me at a glance." We started talking, very speculatively, and we both had a strong sense of affection for each other. At that time, I thought it was the happiest party. We drank a lot of alcohol and left the party early. She took me to the mountains, which had a beautiful view over the city. She said that her favorite thing to sit on is to go there and watch the sunset and watch the night view, and it feels good. I was amazed because when I was alone, I would often go there and do the same thing. ”

"You know, I firmly believed that she was a messenger of God who appeared in my life to give me love. We fell in love so fast that we could barely be separated for a minute. Hotels all over the city have left our footprints, and it's really amazing to be in love. I swore to her that I would bring her back to China after graduation and get married and have children. She also swore to me that she would follow me wherever she went. ”

Suddenly showing a wry smile, Zhang Qincheng lowered his head and said with a pale face, "Things changed a week ago. I was approached by an unknown man who claimed to be an employee of a technology company. In the café, we talked for a long time and talked about a lot of inexplicable topics. The goal was to get me into their company. I refused, saying that I would return to China after graduation. He approached me for the second time, saying that the company wanted to develop the Chinese market and hoped that I could work in the Chinese branch. I'm a little tempted by this, after all, the conditions of American companies are relatively good in all aspects, and the job has a global environment, which is very good for broadening your horizons. I expressed my initial intention that I would slowly get back on track after graduation. ”

"Unexpectedly, when he found me for the third time, in the hotel room, I saw Flora. The truth is thus revealed. It turned out that they were all employees of the CIA, and Flora was even the head of a cell. I didn't react to that at all. Flora affectionately confessed to me that she wanted me to be with her and work with her in her business. She said she really loved me and hoped I could say yes to her. ”

Zhang Qincheng smiled bitterly, "I don't know how I coping with the past at that time. Things have developed completely out of my mind. CIA ...... It's an espionage agency. I never thought that one day this kind of thing would happen to me, and I never imagined that one day the woman I loved would use my feelings as a coercion to coerce me to betray the country. ”

"I don't really know what to do. I don't want to believe that Flora and I are in love for a purpose, and this cruel fact is very painful. But despite this, I still feel that I must not serve them, that must be a point of no return. I wanted to leave the U.S., but soon found myself restricted from leaving the country. I sensed danger, and when Flora found me again, I pretended to be resolute and offered to work with her. We went into a frenzy at the hotel that night and used up seven condoms. While she was asleep, I stabbed her in the heart with a hidden dinner knife. Then I fled to the Mexican border, crossed the border, and with the help of the local Chinese, traveled to Chile and Australia to return here. ”

After speaking, Zhang Qincheng exhaled heavily and summed it up in one sentence: "I killed someone, she is the head of the CIA's special team, and I think the CIA must be hunting me down all over the world now." ”
