Chapter 239 State of affairs(1/2)
Since the "5.7 Incident" temporarily named by the department, Zhou Baixiong, one of the captains of the Nine Secret Service Brigade, was ordered to be transferred to the capital headquarters and jointly investigated the matter according to the instructions of his superiors. In addition to him, the second detachment of the neighboring province gathered together, which shows the importance of the above on this incident.
Usually, each detachment has its own provinces responsible for supervision. Without the permission of the general team, no detachment is allowed to perform official duties across provinces without authorization, so as to avoid shortage of personnel after major problems occur in the province. After all, the number of psychics is small, and the detachment in a province can range from four or five people to seven or eight people. If people are led to arbitrarily perform official duties across provinces, it will inevitably lead to empty defense in the province. Who will be responsible if there is a problem in the future?
At least after asking the brigade, the brigade has time to coordinate personnel to make up for the vacant positions as soon as possible to ensure local defense issues to the greatest extent.
This time when he came to the capital, Zhou Baixiong only brought Lin Yi.
Because the Shenhai Municipality directly under the Central Government, which he was responsible for is the premier prosperous metropolis in the country, local special service personnel would not be easily transferred without special circumstances. It was just that this time the transfer was personally named by the 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 time the transfer came from his former partner, Jiang Chou, who is now in charge of the capital's defense and security, specifically asked for instructions from his superiors.
He and Jiang Chou are the same trained people from the corps. In the past, they have worked together in the Seventh Detachment to investigate and deal with many illegal and criminal incidents of Psychic Apostles. They cooperated with each other very well. Until the old people retreated behind the scenes, their newcomers officially took office, and since then they went their separate ways and never met many times a year.
This time, whether in public or private, Zhou Baixiong's ability and strength are enough to be one of the project leaders who are competent for the "May 7 Incident".
As soon as he arrived in the capital, Zhou Baixiong was so busy that he forgot about Chen Ping for a while. It was not until they received the important information sent back from abroad that his figure appeared in his mind by a mystery.
He once entrusted his colleagues in the capital to pay attention to Chen Ping, but later the people who monitored found that his daily life was monotonous and gradually relaxed his surveillance. Even Zhou Baixiong, who had obtained the first-hand surveillance information, did not find any suspicious things about him.
Perhaps as he said, he just wanted to live an ordinary person's life without interruption.
The question is, will Zhou Baixiong believe in his many years of professional habits?
The answer is obviously no.
So, he came to Chen Ping again.
The doors leading to the rooftops of major teaching buildings are locked on weekdays, as if they are afraid that some students who can't think of it will jump off the building, or do something that violates school rules on the rooftop. After all, there were cases where senior brothers set off fireworks and banners on the rooftop to confess their love to girls.
For example, today the door of the station is open without violence, but is opened with a key.
After Chen An stepped into the rooftop, he immediately saw Zhou Baixiong standing next to the rooftop guardrail. It was because his majestic physique as an iron tower was too eye-catching.
He turned his back to himself, as if he was quietly looking down at the campus scenery, and even if Chen An walked closer, it did not cause him to look back.
"Do you know what I saw?"
He suddenly spoke.
Without waiting for Chen An to answer, he said to himself.
"I saw the future of my motherland."
Chen An did not understand why Zhou Baixiong had such inexplicable lyrical behavior. Just as the Chinese teacher often asked the author the central idea expressed on the test paper, the author might have just said something casually, but was over-interpreted.
So he didn't talk because he wouldn't waste time on such meaningless things.
"Where were you the morning before yesterday?"
Then, Zhou Baixiong had a problem of being very releasing. Even Chen An was slow to react before he could react.
"School, library."
"Can there be proof?"
“There are surveillance inside and outside the library.”
"What after the sealed space appears?"
"I still stayed in the library and didn't leave a step."
"Can there be proof?"
"Who can prove it?"
Chen An asked back.
His rhetorical question is not without reason. Once the sealed space is unfolded, who can provide him with absenteeism except the psychic? Although the monitoring can find the front and back images of the sealed space unfolding, if the party returns to the original place before the sealed space is unblocked, the evidence of presence can also be forged, so Chen An did not mention the monitoring again.
"Do you know what happened the day before yesterday?" Zhou Baixiong looked at him calmly and changed the subject.
"Is it related to Hou Wenjun?" Chen An said.
"Do you know?" Zhou Baixiong asked.
"The school’s external notice about her is suspicious." Chen An said calmly.
"It seems you care about her very much!" Zhou Baixiong narrowed his eyes.
"After all, classmates," Chen An said calmly.
"The man from the Snake captured her." Zhou Baixiong said.
"oh."
"But we received an important information not long ago, and she was not captured by the other party." Zhou Baixiong said.
"What then?" Chen An asked.
"And...I suspect she is still in this school."
Zhou Baixiong's tone became a bit meaningful.
"Chief Zhou, you are almost pointing at my nose and saying it is related to me." Chen An sighed softly.
"I didn't say it, this is what you said." Zhou Baixiong glanced at him and said.
"Chief Zhou, I remember that I told you that I just want to live a normal life." Chen An shook his head. "So I will not get involved in any troublesome vortex without the danger of my life."
"I have no other intentions." Zhou Baixiong said slowly. "I just want to give you a reminder that ordinary life is hard-won, so please cherish it."
"Thank you, I will remember your advice." Chen An nodded.
"If you think it through one day, remember to call me."
After Zhou Baixiong said this, he turned around and strode away from the rooftop.
Looking at the other party's departure back, it was easy to see from the conversation just now that he was cheating on him. Although Chen An covered up his past well, this undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for him!
He was completely targeted!
In this way, he must be more cautious when he wants to meet Hou Wenjun in the future.
Fortunately, after saving Hou Wenjun, he had already carefully arranged some backhand, otherwise, the moment he stepped out of the apartment building, Hou Wenjun would be quietly transferred and taken away.
"It's so omnipresent!"
Chen An couldn't help but sigh in his heart for this.
The power of individuals is always small in front of the country, a behemoth. Even in the world of mythology and fairy tales, don’t you see that the powerful and rebellious Monkey King was eventually pressed down at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain, allowing the system represented by gods and Buddhas such as Heavenly Court to be kneaded and played on the palm of your hand.
There is extraordinary power in the world. When the civilization of human society is still in the backward era of feudal and ignorance, the psychic apostles are indeed able to transcend the system of the country and escape from the rise and fall of a country. However, as human society civilization enters the age of industrialization and information, the psychic apostles can no longer act as recklessly as before.
Humans are social animals. As long as they live in human society for one day, human behavior will be subject to social rules.
No one is free.
Some people think that living in seclusion in the mountains and forests can be transcendent, but who has sought immortality and great freedom since ancient times? People can numb themselves, but they cannot deny reality. From beginning to end, they are all members of human society.
Chen An knew that no matter how meticulous his behavior was considered, he would be unable to hide it. Unknown factors of force majeure might appear every moment, and then a hole was suddenly pierced in the seemingly seamless net.
So he didn't ask for how long he could hide it, but just wanted to give him enough research time.
Chen An rented three rooms in the apartment building, one of which was a professor, and two were secret transactions that did not sign a contract in private, but the latter transaction undoubtedly poses great risks. If the homeowner is a shameless rogue, he can tear up such a verbal agreement without legal effect at will. Even Chen An could do nothing, but before renting the house, he carefully learned about the situation of the homeowner and specially selected the homeowner who is honest and trustworthy and has a good reputation.
However, wealth is moving, and no one can predict human greed.
Therefore, Chen An must conceive a reserve plan again and act under the nose of the country. Even the cunning rabbit may not be assured.
The weather in the capital is still cool in May, and it is far from the unbearable high temperature season in summer. Due to physical differences, many students have already worn T-shirts and shorts, but there are also many people wearing long-sleeved trousers, and Chen An is one of the latter.
It’s not that he is afraid of the cold, but that his long-sleeved and long trousers can hide the scars on his body.
Since the start of the next semester, he has become interested in medical books. When Qian Xiaodong greeted him, he mentioned this.
Nowadays, in addition to difficult and complicated diseases, or surgery that pays great attention to technology and operation, he can handle ordinary minor injuries by himself, so as not to go to the hospital after another injury, leaving 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. He was mostly caused by excessive skin trauma and bleeding, which was so cunning. After quietly leaving some drugs and medical devices from the medical school logistics warehouse, he was more than enough to treat himself and Hou Wenjun.
Anyway, the logistics warehouse will report damages every year, and even if some drugs and equipment are missing, it will not cause doubt. Even if there are, the other party may be the first to suspect that it was embezzled by internal personnel.
"Xiaodong, Zhili, have you contacted Shen Lingyun recently? I have never been able to call her and no one replied to the message."
When he returned to the dormitory, Meng Fanfei did not concentrate on playing games in front of the computer as usual. He was bored and browsing the forum, and from time to time he would pick up his phone and glance at it. Finally, he seemed to be really impatient and asked.
"No!"
"Stop talking about us, Haiyan and the others didn't contact Chen Lingyun either." Jiang Zhili, who was reviewing the material 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 annoyance. "It's like it's missing now."
"Maybe Chen Lingyun's hometown is in a mountainous area where there is no water and electricity signal, right?" Qian Xiaodong yawned on the bed, as if he had just woken up.
"Just kidding, what era is there now? " Meng Fanfei said. "Just looking at Chen Lingyun's family situation, how far will her hometown be? "
"It's hard to say, after all, Haiyan and the others have never heard of Chen Lingyun's hometown." Jiang Zhili said.
"It's a coincidence that, except for the urgent matters in Chen Lingyun's family that day, the same was true for Su Yingxiu, who they tied." Qian Xiaodong got up from the bed and prepared to brush his teeth and wash his face to wake up. "Everyone disappeared at noon."
"Don't forget that Zhou Mengqi is still there. It seems that she was hospitalized after a sudden illness." Jiang Zhili said.
"The funny thing is Su Yi, who is her boyfriend. The next day the government announced that he was arrested and imprisoned for suspected manipulation of stock prices." Qian Xiaodong gloated. "What a big trouble do you think she is doing?!"
"Hey, I don't know what kind of family matters Chen Lingyun is so urgent. She left without even saying hello." Meng Fanfei sighed, not caring about what they were saying.
