"How's it going? Are you still used to staying in Xiazhou?"
According to the data, 'Li Tang' has been in Xiazhou for at least four years. Coming to an unfamiliar environment alone, he must be somewhat uncomfortable.
Even though Xiazhou is very close to the other side of the sea, there is still a strait between them.
"Get used to it. Coming to Xiazhou is like coming home."
Li Jie smiled and nodded, fiddling with the tea sets on the table as he replied.
Hearing this meaningful sentence, Duan Yingjiu couldn't help but think about it.
Just like coming home?
'Li Tang' had stayed in Xiazhou before?
Or is his ancestral home in Xiazhou?
At present, the only information that Guoan has is Li Jie's resume in recent years. Where he is from, where he went to school, and what his name is, no one in Guoan knows anything.
Duan Yingjiu didn't want to ask too bluntly, so her spirit remained in a state of high tension. She would carefully write down every word Li Jie said.
Duan Yingjiu smiled slightly and asked following the words.
"It's like going home? Is your ancestral home from Xiazhou?"
"no."
Li Jie shook his head and said: "My ancestral home is Wanxi, but for people like me, returning to the mainland is just like going home, no matter where."
Duan Yingjiu nodded with understanding. She probably understood the meaning of Li Jie's words. In front of her emotionally, this person had the mainland in mind.
In this way, it also explains why the other party passes information to them again and again.
"correct."
Suddenly, Li Jie made a move and said frankly.
"There's something I didn't say before. My current codename is 'Phoenix', but a few years ago, I had another codename."
"At that time, my code name was Taoyuan."
Hearing the word 'Taoyuan', Duan Yingjiu immediately staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Taoyuan?
She is familiar with this code name!
A few years ago, there was such a person in the Huang Deming kidnapping case.
Seeing Duan Yingjiu's reaction, Li Jie looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that you know me."
"Yes, I did carry out a kidnapping mission a few years ago. The kidnapping target was Huang Deming, a missile engine expert."
"That mission was also my first mission in mainland China."
After the initial shock, Duan Yingjiu calmed down, but the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, and she asked with a cold face.
"How did Huang Deming die?"
Although Duan Yingjiu had long known the cause of Huang Deming's death from the forensic doctor, she still wanted to ask Li Jie and see how Li Jie would answer.
This answer is very critical, related to how she will face Li Jie in the future.
"Officer Duan, please be patient. Now that I'm here, I have no intention of hiding anything."
Li Jie smiled gently, gently pushed the tea cup in front of Duan Yingjiu, and said slowly.
"Four years ago, my superiors ordered me, Hualien and Hsinchu to come to the mainland with the task of kidnapping Huang Deming. I was the team leader at the time."
"However, although I am the captain, my power is actually very limited. Both Hsinchu and Hualien are from across the sea."
"And they are still a couple."
Li Jie did not lie about this. Back then, Hsinchu had a very unruly temperament and did not take him as the team leader seriously at all.
Of course, some necessary processing is also required. After all, Li Jie at that time was completely different from Li Jie now.
At that time, Li Jie had not yet truly awakened. At that time, he still had illusions about the people on the other side of the sea.
"At first, the kidnapping process went smoothly. Later, a spy codenamed 'Baoping' appeared and clashed with us."
"Huang Deming was in very bad health at the time. Although there was Hualien in our team who had received professional medical training, Baoping's unexpected intrusion prevented her from fully caring for Huang Deming."
"In the end, Huang Deming was affected during the fight, so that he died in the ambulance."
"After that, we subdued Baoping and quickly evacuated the scene."
At this moment, Duan Yingjiu's mood was undoubtedly complicated. If the man in front of him had not participated in the kidnapping case a few years ago, everything would be easier to negotiate.
But the other party happened to be involved. Not only that, they had an unshirkable responsibility for Huang Deming's death.
Now, the situation becomes complicated.
How to deal with this 'Phoenix', Duan Yingjiu's authority alone is no longer enough.
While Duan Yingjiu was sighing with emotion, Li Jie's story continued.
"Although we caught Baoping, we let him run away because of our lack of experience."
"Later, we stayed in Xiazhou for a few more days. When the incident calmed down a bit, we left the country by sea."
"However, something unexpected happened during the process of leaving the country. We were surrounded by the coast guard. The situation was critical, and the three of us jumped into the sea one after another."
"In the end, only Hsinchu returned to the other side of the sea smoothly, and Hualien and I stayed."
Half an hour later.
"That's probably my situation."
Duan Yingjiu sighed, stood up and said.
"Come back to the bureau with me, my superior wants to see you."
Through the equipment Duan Yingjiu carried, although Wang Yang outside the teahouse was not present in person, he heard all the conversations between Li Jie and Duan Yingjiu.
After listening to this conversation, Wang Yang's first feeling was that Phoenix's surrender came from the bottom of his heart.
Otherwise, there is no need for 'Phoenix' to tell the story about Huang Deming's kidnapping case. They don't know that 'Taoyuan' is 'Phoenix'.
But feelings are feelings, and discipline is discipline.
How to deal with 'Phoenix' requires the advice of superiors.
Inside the teahouse.
Li Jie looked very calm when he heard that he was going to the National Security Bureau.
"good."
"Let's go."
The two of them walked out of the teahouse one after another. The moment they walked out of the door, Li Jie was immediately surrounded by people.
Duan Yingjiu had been secretly observing Li Jie. At the moment when he was surrounded by people, Li Jie was so calm that she was a little surprised.
'It seems that the other party has already expected this scene. '
The people from the National Security Bureau did not use any coercive measures against Li Jie. They just sent two people, one on the left and one on the right, to protect him in the middle.
After all, Li Jie surrendered on his own initiative and was not arrested, so he still got this kind of treatment.
Back at the National Security Bureau station, Li Jie was taken to an interrogation room by Duan Yingjiu, and what followed was a long wait.
After settling Li Jie, Xiazhou Guoan quickly held an emergency meeting. The main content of the meeting was 'how to treat Phoenix'.
'Phoenix' has a high level. He is the person in charge of Xiazhou, the military intelligence bureau across the sea. Moreover, 'Phoenix' has quite a lot of connections and a deep background in the military intelligence bureau across the sea.
In fact, if there had not been the Huang Deming kidnapping case, a situation like 'Phoenix' would have been easily handled.
But as luck would have it, 'Phoenix' was one of the participants in the kidnapping case that year.
