Chapter 111: Walking on Two Legs

After Wang Kunju left, Wan Xueliang suddenly remembered the first item in Wang Kunju's report: The first person to go to see Liang Qianli yesterday morning was Gong Xiaomu. Could it be that Gong Xiaomu is Liang Qianli's confidant?

Wan Xueliang felt the need to carefully understand the matter of Gong Xiaomu, and he immediately called the secretary and asked him to collect and sort out all the information about Gong Xiaomu.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the secretary put the information on Wan Xueliang's desk and briefly explained Gong Xiaomu's resume and the entanglement with the State Security Administration: The deceased Shao Fangxin had dinner with Gong Xiaomu on the night when the State Security Administration's villa was burned, and later the joint investigation team ruled out Gong Xiaomu's suspicions; Hu Jiehua, who was convicted of being a traitor, kidnapped Ning Jingwen in Dongshan City, and the reason for this was that Ning Jingwen was friendly with Gong Xiao Mu.

When Wan Xueliang heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and said secretly: Gong Xiaomu and the General Administration of National Security are in conflict, which is not a good sign.

The secretary also told some of Gong Xiaomu's deeds in Dongshan City, and Wan Xue's conscience attached great importance to Gong Xiaomu Cheng Dù suddenly increased a lot. He asked: Is there anything about Gong Xiaomu's visit to Quanshui City this time?

The secretary replied: This morning, Gong Xiaomu went to the office of the head of the Ning Shoucheng General Headquarters, and about half an hour later, he left the Army Headquarters and went to the Liuyun Military Region again. He was the martial arts instructor of the Liuyun Military Region, and he defeated two Manguo. Xu Leijian publicly said that he would transfer the things promised to the people of Manguo to Gong Xiaomu. At about eleven o'clock, Gong Xiaomu left the Liuyun Military Region, and since then, there has been no news of him.

The more Wan Xueliang listened, the more he felt that Gong Xiaomu's energy was amazing, not only was he able to directly meet the head of the Ning Headquarters, but he was actually the head of the Liuyun Military Region, why had he never heard of this before?

He asked the secretary suspiciously: Why has the file of Gong Xiaomu not been reported to the State Security Administration since he was the head of the military region? In accordance with the duties and powers of the State Security Administration, some important appointments in the military must be reported to the State Security Administration for the record.

The secretary took out a report from the information on the table and said: This is what the Liuyun Military Region has just sent to us.

Wan Xueliang took Wen Jiàn and looked at it, and was shocked: Gong Xiaomu's special instructor certificate was actually issued today, that is to say. Gong Xiaomu was hired as an instructor by the Liuyun Military Region today, which also means that Gong Xiaomu is half a soldier, and he is still a special operations course with great power.

He became more and more interested in Gong Takamu, and ordered the secretary to keep a close eye on Gong Takamu's movements and report to him immediately if there was anything unusual.

The red phone on the table rang, and Wan Xueliang picked up the phone when it just rang, this phone is an emergency call, and it must be answered as soon as possible.

"General Liang Lilan's mansion was attacked. Hurry to the Splendid Building. The voice on the phone said this, and he hung up.

Liang Lilan, the deputy commander of the Zheguo Army (see Chapter 60), secretly came to Quanshui City this morning, and Wan Xueliang provided security for him, but his personnel were only responsible for guarding the perimeter. In terms of security planning and task allocation, Wan Xueliang did not have the slightest right to speak, and some only obeyed the orders and arrangements of the guard regiment around General Liang, because the guards around General Liang were the elite of the national-level masters, so they naturally looked down on these local-level agents in Wan Xueliang's hands.

But. Once General Liang has an accident, then the local personnel must take responsibility, which is the asymmetry of rights and obligations, although Wan Xueliang has a lot of complaints about this. But in the face of a bureaucratic structure that is only responsible for the above, he has no choice but to consider himself unlucky.

Wan Xueliang took three steps and made two steps, and gave an order to the secretary as he ran: Hurry up and gather all the personnel of the special operations team. Rush to the Splendid Building immediately.

Jumping into the car, Wan Xueliang said to the driver: Arrive at Jinxiu Building as soon as possible.

Ruan Jingtian masked his head and bowed his head into the guest room of Haitian International Hotel and closed the door. Swallowing two Saint Pills one after another to treat internal injuries, regardless of the injuries that had not yet recovered, he took off the appearance of the Man Kingdom and replaced it with the appearance of Meng Lindong, because he opened the room with Meng Lindong's appearance and documents.

He understood that General Liang's official position must be very high, even higher than the provincial number one in Ning Shoucheng, and it might be at the level of deputy state and above. Such a fierce battle in the place where a leader of this rank was staying would surely shake the entire Liuyun Province and Quanshui City, and he believed that the gendarmerie and the garrison of the military region would soon blockade Quanshui City, and it was very likely that they would have to search from house to house.

He asked the rickshaw to be delivered here in order to attract the attention of the searchers. Because it is very likely that the gendarmerie or other investigators will question the rickshaw driver one by one, then this place will definitely be exposed, and he will appear in front of the rickshaw driver, which happens to be a gathering place for the Man. Nguyen Jingtian guessed that in an hour at most, the gendarmerie would find the Haitian International Hotel.

Ruan Jingtian quickly walked out of the room and came to the first floor to settle the bill. At this time, the sirens of police cars and patrol cars on the road were getting closer and closer, and he didn't expect the gendarmes to come so quickly, and he was a little anxious, but he couldn't show it on his face.

The cashier handed over the invoice and change, Ruan Jingtian stretched out his hand to take it, and just wanted to pull out his legs and walk towards the door, only to hear the sudden braking sound of the car outside the door, and many people in black jumped out of the car and rushed to the door.

Ruan Jingtian's heart moved, and he asked the cashier: Where is the bathroom? The cashier pointed inside with his hand, and then whispered: Turn right.

After saying thank you, Ruan Jingtian walked quickly to the bathroom. As soon as he left on his front foot, a dozen or so men in black rushed in, immediately showed their documents to the hotel staff, and ordered no one to leave, standing still and being interrogated and inspected.

After Ruan Jingtian turned right, he knew that the lobby was controlled by the man in black. Before turning right, he didn't dare to be very fast, but at this time, he didn't care, and ran towards the bathroom with all his might. On the road, I met a waiter, he took the waiter's hand and asked, "Do you have any medicine for diarrhea?"

"Sir, I advise you to go to the infirmary to see a doctor. The waiter said.

"Thank you, I can't hold it back, when I'm done, I'll go to the infirmary. Ruan Jingtian let go of the waiter's hand and rushed into the bathroom.

The waiter looked pitifully at Ruan Jingtian, whose back had disappeared, shook his head, and walked towards the lobby.

Ruan Jingtian hid in the bathroom, panting heavily, and the all-out running just now affected the injuries on his body, and he had to stop to recuperate, otherwise he would spurt blood from his mouth and faint to the ground.

He looked around and found no windows, only an exhaust fan on the wall of the pipe well. He scolded secretly: This Haitian International Hotel is known as a five-star, but the ventilation and exhaust facilities are so poor!

He continued to observe, and he saw the air conditioning vents on the ceiling. He didn't have time to think about it, so he removed the cover from the vent, got into the vent duct, and closed the cover again. Walking along the direction of the wind, half an hour later, he came to the exhaust vent out of breath. He rested for a moment, listening to the movement outside, and heard no unusual movements. He crept out of the vent. Behind the Haitian International Hotel, there is a narrow passage that cannot accommodate pedestrians at all, and on the other side of the passage is a row of dilapidated bungalows.

Ruan Jingtian squeezed into the narrow passage, very speechless. The owner of Haitian International Hotel did not consider the adjacent rights such as the right to light and the right of way of the residents of the small bungalow, which is the oppression of the common people by the rich or powerful, and the ordinary people have no right to speak at all.

He secretly sighed: not respecting the wishes of ordinary people and depriving them of their right to live is the sorrow of society and an important factor in social instability.

In this channel. Ruan Jingtian rested for a while, and then slowly moved towards the exit of the passage. After exiting the passage, he changed hotels three times in a row and changed his appearance three times. I finally booked a room at a mid-range hotel, which is about four kilometers away from the Haitian International Hotel.

This injury sounded the alarm for Ruan Jingtian, although he had cultivated Xuan Qi, his strength was still not high. He estimated that the old man was also a cultivator. And the power is at least the middle level of the intermediate stage of Xuan Qi, while Ruan Jingtian is the middle level of the primary stage, and the gap is a whole big level.

Withstand the strong palm power of the old man. Ruan Jingtian felt as if the main meridians in his body were shattered, and he used all his strength to use the Xuangang Technique, supplemented by the self-made Saint Pill, to repair the injured meridians. This is like using a needle and thread to re-stitch the broken meridians, the pain is far beyond human tolerance, but Ruan Jingtian has to grit his teeth and persevere. He knew that if he didn't get through this, he would be a waste.

After two hours of painful torture, Ruan Jingtian finally felt that the pain gradually disappeared, and the repaired meridians became thicker and tougher. He suddenly had a strong feeling of cultivation, and intuitively, he thought that the meridians that had just been repaired were the most suitable for cultivation, and their cultivation efficiency might be very high, because the meridians at this time were similar to those that had just been reborn, and their metabolism was at their most vigorous, and if this opportunity was missed, then the effect of cultivation would be greatly reduced.

He decided to take a risk and give it a try. As the saying goes, wealth is in danger, and if you want to reach a higher level, you must take advantage of a possible opportunity.

After swallowing two Pei Yuan Dan and two Ning Yuan Dan, he began to concentrate on cultivating the Xuangang Technique. The role of Pei Yuan Dan is to input energy, and the effect of Ning Yuan Dan makes these energies more condensed and not wasted. Although Ruan Jingtian had refined Ning Yuan Dan, he had never taken it, and this time he wanted to try the effect of Ning Yuan Dan.

The abundant aura that Pei Yuan Dan gave birth to poured into his meridians, and Ning Yuan Dan condensed these spiritual qi and rushed violently into the meridians. Ruan Jingtian felt as if bombs had been detonated in his body, and the meridians that had just been repaired collapsed again, and the severe pain stimulated the nerves around him.

Ruan Jingtian felt that he was a little underestimating the power of Ning Yuan Dan, he ran the Xuangang Jue with all his might, gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, while re-repairing the meridians, while constantly correcting the cultivation path of the Xuangang Jue, so that the aura entered the small meridians to complete the Zhou Tian cycle in a roundabout way, and dispersed the impact of the huge amount of aura on the main meridians as much as possible, so that some small meridians also shared some of the aura, thereby increasing the capacity of the small meridians and strengthening the toughness of the small meridians, which was the only way he could take to avoid exploding at present.

After opening up a small meridian, he searched for a new Zhou Tian cycle path again, and after repeated calculations and reasoning, he created a total of twelve new cultivation paths, which were not at all the simplest paths described in the original Xuangang Jue, but a zigzag path that passed through many small meridians.

After the compressed aura produced by the mixing of Pei Yuan Dan and Ning Yuan Dan, after being diluted and diluted by these twelve cultivation paths, Ruan Jingtian felt that the pain gradually weakened, and the broken meridians healed again. He slowly felt the comfort of his whole body, especially the strengthening and widening of the small meridians, and his whole body seemed to be filled with endless power. He believed that if he took the old man's strong blow again, he would definitely not suffer such a heavy internal injury, because the small meridians might bear the brunt of the oppression of the great force, thus protecting the main meridians from being severely damaged.

Two hours later, Ruan Jingtian slowly collected his strength, and his skill level rose from the middle level of the primary stage to the consummation level of the primary stage, although his skill was only slightly upgraded by one level, but he felt that because of the cultivation of the small meridians, his ability to resist attacks had risen by more than two or three grades.

Ruan Jingtian believes: If there is no tempering with the strong. It was impossible for him to improve his strength so quickly with just four pills. He suddenly felt a little grateful to the old man in his heart, he didn't know the toxicity on the red needle, but even if it wasn't poisonous, the old man would be hit hard, not only would his left eye be destroyed, but he was afraid that his brain would also be affected by Yan Zòng, because Ruan Jingtian's right foot was too close to the old man's head, and the power of the firing spring was all into the old man's head.

Looking at his watch, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Ruan Jingtian suddenly remembered that he should go to meet Lian Chenghong, the head of the Liuyun Provincial Water Agency. He hurriedly took out the phone number given by Ning Xianghai, called Lian Chenghong, and asked if he could visit him later, and Lian Chenghong agreed.

Ruan Jingtian put down the phone, came to the window, and looked out the window at the road, only to see that the gendarmes were setting up a card check on the road. Knowing that the investigators had investigated and searched the Haitian International Hotel to no avail, he began to expand the search area, which now extends to an area of four kilometers from the Haitian International Hotel. If it's a door-to-door search, then their search is not inefficient.

He wrapped two Manguo pistols and more than a dozen bullet clips with thick linoleum paper, and tied them with a long rope to leave a piece of rope. He opened the repair valve for the toilet sewer pipe. Take the end of the rope, wrap the linoleum paper with the rope and go down the drain, tie the end of the rope to the inside of the valve, and finally tighten the valve.

If someone unscrews the valve without grabbing the end of the rope. The entire linoleum wrap will sink into the pit at the bottom of the sewer, making it difficult to get the wrap up.

Ruan Jingtian straightened his clothes and walked out of the room. Now he is the captain of the Higashiyama Castle gendarmerie, Miyataka Mu.

Wan Xueliang was greatly shocked by the audacity of the assassins and the consequences of the severity: the four Manguo grenades not only killed six national-level high-ranking guards on the spot, but also shattered the glass on the second floor of the Splendid Building. Deputy Commander Liang Lilan was scratched by glass shards, and although he shed a lot of blood, he was not in serious trouble. And the envoy of the Manguo country, Lesan, who talked to him, did not have such good luck, he was hit by three pieces of glass, one of which cut his carotid artery, although he tried hard to save him, but in the end because of excessive blood loss, he died.

What frightened Wan Xue's conscience the most was that Tian Wei, the elder of the Koushan Group of the largest and strongest martial arts sect in the Zheguo, was seriously injured, and according to the doctor, Tian Weiyi might never wake up, because a red hemp needle with a strong anesthetic* medicine was shot into Tian Weiyi's brain, and his brain was severely damaged, and the best case scenario was that Tian Weiyi became a demented person with no thoughts.

In Zheguo, Tian Wei No. 1 said that the divine palm was invincible, and his palm could kill a bison, and there was no one who fought with him who was not defeated. Such a master among the masters actually collapsed in Quanshui City, how can this not be shocking.

Witnesses and experts at the scene agreed that the Assassins were Manchurians.

From the analysis of the weapons used by the Assassins, it is obvious that the Assassins are from the Manguo, because the Assassins used the high-quality pistols and grenades made by the Manguo, as well as the red hemp needle, a vicious hidden weapon used by the Manguo agents.

The surviving guards in the garden also confirmed that they had seen the Assassin's face, and although he was not very tall, his appearance, body shape, and demeanor were typical of the Manchurians.

Even more incredible: the Assassin threw four grenades and vanished, leaving no one to know how the Assassin left the garden.

Later, rickshaw drivers waiting near the shrine to pick up passengers described the Assassin jumping off the wall of the shrine and calling a rickshaw, missing his whereabouts. The guards and gendarmes immediately searched for the rickshaw driver who had taken the assassin away, and soon received an answer: the assassin limped and looked sluggish, and got off at the Haitian International Hotel and entered the hotel.

Yu Leicai, the commander of Liang Lilan's guard regiment, was overjoyed, which meant that Tian Weiyi's divine palm had also seriously injured the assassin, so he ordered all the personnel to gather at the Haitian International Hotel.

Wan Xueliang and other local personnel in Liuyun Province and Quanshui City, under the unified command of Lei Cai, vowed to find the assassin even if the Haitian Hotel was turned upside down.

Wan Xueliang led the people of the State Security Administration to be responsible for the questioning and inspection of all personnel on a floor, and he checked every corner and every corner no less than three times; he often inadvertently repeated questions about each person's inquiry, because if a person lies, under the inadvertent repeated questioning, the lie will be revealed, after all, the lie is fabricated out of thin air, and there is no personal experience, every time a lie is told. The details may be different.

However, Wan Xueliang excluded everyone on this level, and the assassins were not on this level.

He went to the lobby to report the results of the investigation to the chief of security, only to see that all the investigators were depressed. All investigators carefully questioned everyone in the hotel, and found no trace of this Manguo assassin, nor any unusual or suspicious person.

Yu Leicai was furious, knowing that the assassin was injured and entered the hotel, why didn't there be any trace and information about this person?

Wan Xueliang used his brain, and it was natural that the assassin was injured. After all, Tian Weiyi's divine palm was not bragged about, and there was no reason why the assassin should not be injured if he was hit by Tian Weiyi's divine palm. However, being injured and entering the Grand Horizon Hotel without concealment was not in line with the cautious characteristics of an Assassin, who was able to silently touch the front of the Splendid Tower, and was obviously a thoughtful person.

Since the Assassin should not have entered the Haitian International Hotel, then why did he still enter? Wan Xueliang suddenly thought that this was the Assassin's ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the Assassin deliberately led the investigators to the Haitian International Hotel. In fact, the Assassin had already left the hotel, perhaps by this time.

Wan Xueliang immediately told Yu Leicai of his thoughts. For this speculation, Yu Leicai was skeptical. Wan Xueliang asked to investigate the list of all the customers who left the checkout in the afternoon, and he checked the checkout time of the customers one by one. Eyes fell on the name of the last customer to check out: Meng Lindong.

Seeing this name, Wan Xueliang was taken aback, and he immediately handed the list to Yu Leicai and said, "This person is the master of the Liuyun Provincial Branch of Dongshamen. According to reliable sources, the Liuyun Provincial Branch of Dongshamen has been hit in recent days, and the specific situation is ominous. ”

Yu Leicai frowned. He said to a guard beside him: "Contact Zheguo immediately and quickly check this person's movements." ”

The guard turned around and ran away with the list, and in less than five minutes, the guard reported: "There was a serious accident in the Liuyun Provincial Branch of Dongshamen last night, and Meng Lindong disappeared, but there is conclusive evidence that Meng Lindong is still in Quanshui City. ”

Yu Leicai quickly came to the checkout at the front desk and asked the waiter: "You describe all the circumstances of this person, especially when this person left here." ”

The waiter said, "This person booked the room at noon today, and I will pay before you arrive." However, after this man finished settling the bill, you were just outside the door, and he asked where the bathroom was, and then walked quickly to the bathroom, and a colleague of mine saw him at the bathroom door. ”

"Where are your colleagues?" asked Yu Leicai.

"It's right around the corner. ”

Yu Leicai and Wan Xueliang asked the waiter who saw Ruan Jingtian at the door of the bathroom, and the waiter explained the process of the matter.

"Did this person come out of the bathroom?" asked Yu Leicai, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

The waiters shook their heads.

Yu Leicai hurriedly ordered the guards to follow him and rush to the bathroom, in fact, this bathroom has been checked at least five or six times.

Wan Xueliang also followed into the bathroom.

The bathroom is empty, and there are no windows on the wall, and a big living person disappears into thin air? Some people start to feel creepy.

Wan Xueliang carefully observed every corner of the bathroom, and finally stopped his eyes on the air conditioning vents on the ceiling. He stepped on the washstand, took off the cover, and stretched out his head to look inside, and his heart was bright.

Yu Leicai also came over to take a look, he didn't say a word, climbed into the ventilation duct, followed the traces of dust, and a few more guards also climbed in.

Wan Xueliang didn't climb in, he knew very well: the investigators had wasted nearly four hours in the Haitian International Hotel, and the assassins had already fled, even if the whole city searched for him, I am afraid it would be useless.

Nguyen Jingtian sat in the rickshaw, and four gendarmes and two men in black stopped the rickshaw. Both the rickshaw driver and Nguyen Jing Tien were scrutinized and their documents checked. After there was no abnormality, Ruan Jingtian got back into the rickshaw and drove towards the hotel near the provincial hospital, where the driver, Lao Huang, was waiting for him.

Lao Huang drove the Ling Zhi car of the Black Dragon Society, and the trunk was loaded with some local products of Dongshan City, and came to the villa of Lian Chenghong, the head of the Liuyun Provincial Water Agency.

"Hello, company commander, Miyataka Muslim of the Dongshan Castle Gendarmerie reports to you. Gong Xiaomu saluted Lian Chenghong in strict accordance with official etiquette.

"Hello Xiaomu-kun, it's time to get off work, you don't have to go to work like that, you sit down. ”

"Thank you, sir!" Ruan Jingtian sat on the sofa with half of his buttocks, lowering his hands and preparing to listen to Lian Chenghong's question.

"Xiaomujun, I heard that you have made outstanding achievements in the gendarmerie, not bad, young and promising, and your work style is tough,..." Lian Chenghong praised a few words, and then changed the conversation and asked: "If you are asked to work in the water agency, how do you want to carry out your work?"

"Company commander, I think we should walk on two legs, one leg is to closely follow the general policies of Zheguo, and the other leg is to rely on the strength of ordinary people. Ruan Jingtian said.

Lian Chenghong's eyes narrowed, and he asked with interest, "Can you explain how to walk on two legs?"

Ruan Jingtian cleared his throat, organized his thoughts in his head, and after a while, he said: " As for how to thoroughly understand and comprehend the general policy of Zheguo, we should ask the leaders for instructions and report to them in our ordinary work, and carefully study and comprehend them; relying on the strength of the ordinary people, that is, to let the ordinary people participate in the work of the water organs, after all, the manpower of the water organs is limited, and sometimes it is easy to take care of one or the other; if we encourage the ordinary people to help us, I think the work of the water organs will be more efficient. ”

"How can ordinary people be encouraged?"

"The most effective and direct way is to provide paid assistance, for example, to arrest a corrupt official who is on the run, the water agency can offer a reward for providing information. For example, after confiscating the illegal gains of a corrupt official, you can take out part of the confiscated money and distribute red envelopes to ordinary people in the city. In this way, almost all the people will strongly support the work of the water agency, while the corrupt officials are constantly afraid of being reported and having their ill-gotten confiscated, thus preventing corruption. Ruan Jingtian's words were amazing.

Lian Chenghong looked at Ruan Jingtian in astonishment, offering a reward for his arrest, which is not unusual, but it is simply sensational to give the points of corrupt officials to ordinary people! He asked: "Why do you have such thoughts?"

"The head of the company, the gendarmerie and the water department are all government departments of Zheguo, these two departments are similar in nature, they are all violent departments, which department do you think ordinary people are more familiar with?" asked Nguyen Jingtian.

"Well, probably more familiar with the gendarmerie. Lian Chenghong pondered for a moment and said.

"I agree with the company commander. Why is it that the general public is more familiar with the gendarmerie and less aware of the water authorities? If the water authorities do not try to contact and communicate with the general public, then they will only make the general public unaware of the water authorities. (To be continued......)
