Huacheng, seven o'clock in the evening.
The dark weather also allows some unique shops to open for business, such as nightclubs.
The young man in school uniform walked towards it, but was immediately stopped by the security guard with a strange look on his face. It felt like - Brother, you should try to pretend, you are making it difficult for me.
However, when the young man whispered a few words to the security guard, the other person's face flashed a little, and after asking some questions through the intercom, the young man was invited in.
This is also a nightclub in Huacheng. It is a nightclub, also called a nightclub.
All in all, the name of the store is very arrogant and unpretentious.
Entering the box, Zuo Dao also found that there were many more messages on his chat software. Some were replies after leaving his own message, and some were those who came not long ago. The first one to bear the brunt was from his neighbor Qing Yisu.
Qingyue: "We will get home in about an hour. Do you have time to go out for a meal together?" 』(seven minutes ago)
Historical Dust (Left Road): "I'm sorry, Sister Qing, there are some things that may not allow me to go home today. Qiaoqiao everything is normal now. I will remove the technique when you come back." "(Has been sent)
Before Zuodao could switch the page, Qing Yisu replied again.
Qingyue: "Thank you for your hard work. Don't stress too much about some things. Come and sit at home when you have the opportunity." "(just)
"Huh?" Zuo Dao touched his chin:
"Is this because the other party knows something about your situation and is willing to provide some help?"
he analyzed.
After all, it is not surprising that the outrageous things that happened in the morning were spread by some people inside.
Sometimes people are very good at keeping secrets, sometimes they are not so good at keeping secrets.
after all...
In the car not long after leaving the street where the incident occurred, Zuo Dao discovered that his internal terminal had been "banned". To put it simply, he did not have permission to enter and read.
He swiped his fingers and pulled up another dialog box.
Historical dust: "Are you here?" 』(five hours ago)
A 300-pound man (note: fat man): "The signal is bad!" 』(four hours ago)
Dust of History: "You slapped my butt with your big hand today. I am dirty and angry. I am ready to blow up a nightclub under your name and give you another chance to reorganize your speech." 』(four hours ago)
(Message has been withdrawn) (Four hours ago) Zuo Dao didn’t see what he posted.
A 300-pound man: [Voice message]
"What the hell, brother, what are you going to do?" the fat man whispered in a low voice.
In the eyes of different people, rightism is different, but some of them are the same.
For example, the left-handed "obey the rules" or "very sensible".
Another example is that in the eyes of Zang Ti, he is capable of causing trouble. Although he is a bit boring, his thinking is very clear but not too unreasonable. At the same time, he is also a scholar-type genius. In Tong Yan's eyes, he is a reliable junior, Quan Hu's He looks like a reliable comrade-in-arms, etc.
But in the eyes of the fat man, this guy is definitely not a good guy, he is the kind of bastard who can stab a knife and then think about shooting him in the back——
Don't ask him for his reason, there is no reason!
The biggest reason is that he has the intuition of a fat man who has been struggling for so many years!
So after hearing Zuo Dao's speech, Fatty secretly thought that he had finally come to find him. ….
At the same time, I was afraid that this guy would really blow up his store.
Fatty is a participant at today's scene, and he knows that something is wrong today, especially after returning to the General Affairs Bureau to learn some of the situation. As the "victims", the Zangwei family has suffered a lot. unfair".
The fat man is not sure whether people like Zuo Dao will do anything and play the hot-blooded way after returning to "freedom".
To know that these "nightclubs" under his name are all made of real money, it would really make him heartbroken.
——In short, the Thirty-Six Strategies put comfort first.
Of course, these can only be regarded as auxiliary factors.
If something happens, actually
That's it, and the core reason why he "talked to" Zuo Dao was actually two other points.
One thing is that Chang Tiao's "dismissal of get out of class" made Fatty feel very uncomfortable. Although this team leader of another family liked to scare him when he was fine, he still showed no lack of care when working together, not to mention his abrupt involvement in the 'recruitment incident'. , Shi's behavior, although Zang Ti said it was scary, actually he didn't do anything bad.
On the contrary, in every summary report of all subsequent events, Fatty's contribution to him was not less, and he even helped write a few good words so that he could integrate into the General Affairs Bureau team more quickly. Therefore, in Fatty's heart, He recognized this "top leader" of the mysterious department.
Just like this, something happened to the leader of the mysterious department inexplicably, and the fat man felt bad when he looked at it.
But after all, he is not a "veteran" like a leftist. Although he is shrewd, it does not mean that he has a thorough understanding of the official situation. Therefore, what happened today can be said to be very shocking, and he also has a profile.
The second point is also the most fundamental point.
There is no doubt that Zang Ti is the person who is the most ruthless against child worshippers.
So...
If she falls, does it reveal that there will be fluctuations in the subsequent response to child worship, and that child worship not only has lingering poison, but also has some weird "underlyings"?
This is something fat people cannot accept.
The seeds of his suspicion within the General Bureau began to sprout.
Let people like Fatty who are not single-minded and dedicate everything to the General Affairs Bureau start to "sway" directly.
But fat people are soft-spoken and can't do much in this situation, but -
What about the left path?
When Zang Ti pushed them away, did he tell Zuo Dao about any back-up plans?
A cool plot that even reverses the situation?
On the issue of killing child worshipers, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, Fatty believes that they are on the same front.
Therefore, he must not wait until the internal problems are settled, and then the General Affairs Bureau changes its direction and starts fishing for fish, before he regrets it, right?
This is impossible - if there is a sign, kill it.
The values of the "mysterious people" in this world are so simple and pragmatic.
This is also one of the reasons why Fatty secretly replies after getting bad news.
Then the second thing is actually very simple.
On the way back from the time when Zang Ti and their six groups were traveling together, Fatty found that his good group leader Yan Fang did not continue to compete with Zang Ti. Instead, he could have a few off-topic conversations with her.
Based on the above reasons, Fatty felt that he - enlightened. ….
Although he was not sure what he had realized, he was certain that his "sneaky" behavior was probably tacitly approved.
It would be better to say that Yan Fang and Zang Ti were waiting for him to find Zuo Dao.
As for why I have this intuition——
The fat man was later escorted to the point where he was sitting in the same car with the two team leaders!
He didn't take this car when he came, but when he went back, he was "reasonably arranged" by Sheng Liang!
Therefore, when Zuo Dao's "visit" came, Fatty even breathed a sigh of relief - he was expecting you.
But you still have to suffer miserably.
It is better not to invest than to invest without acting.
Historical dust: "Let's talk about things that everyone understands" (four hours ago)
The fat man at that time had questions all over his face.
He couldn't help but gasp.
At least, let’s talk about the process. After all, we are playing the script of Night Interview with a Secret Agent, so we have to talk about a sense of ritual, right?
Why did you get in there directly——
Before he could reply, the next message came from Zuo Dao.
Dust of History: "This fat man, you don't want to worship the child cult to rise again or even affect the General Affairs Bureau, right?" 』(four hours ago)
A 300-pound man: 『???』(four hours ago)
The fat man was shocked. It was a strange speech he had never seen before.
So, now.
The fat man came into the box in plain clothes. The first thing he did was shout with a grimace:
"It's miserable, it's miserable——
"Brother, you don't know how hard I worked to get away and come out to find you!"
Hearing this, Zuo Dao didn't reply. He just opened a bottle of beer, poured a glass, and pushed it to the fat man sitting next to him.
However, neither of them touched the cup.
From the beginning of Zuo Dao, things related to entering the mouth have not been touched. The same is true when Fatty comes, even if it is newly opened.
"We'll talk about it after the misfortune. Let's get down to business. Let's talk about the specific situation." Zuo Dao Wannian asked with a dull face.
Sensing Zuo Dao's relaxed posture, the fat man rolled his eyes:
"Did team leader Zang Ti tell me something?"
Zuo Dao smiled and said nothing. From the beginning to the end, he was making psychological essays for the fat man through the private communication during their parting today.
Just like the fat man thinks that Zuo Dao is not that simple, Zuo Dao also thinks that the fat man is not a fool.
What smart people like most is to complicate things and expand the details.
This also provides leftists with the opportunity to obtain inside information in a reasonable and equal manner.
"Is this what you can understand without charging money?" The young man glanced.
"Then let's top up the money. Give me a system and I can earn some gold?" The fat man thought that he didn't take the other party's hint of "increasing investment" and started to make jokes.
However, the two did not continue their useless conversation. The fat man quickly got to the point, and for a rare moment he became serious and worried again.
"Brother Zuo, the best you can do is to be on standby, which is actually good..."
"Huh?" Zuo Dao hummed. Although he had some premonitions in his heart, he still had to cooperate with his opening.
Under the fat man's eloquent talk, the context of the situation gradually became clear.
All of this probably started the day before yesterday——
Start with a community of villas. ….
Just like official personnel related to mysterious "business", there will be special community arrangements.
As positions and capabilities improve, such constraints will gradually increase.
Even when team leaders like Zang Tiao started, they were no longer allowed to live in a community like Qingchi Huafu, where office staff and family members were mixed, unless their family members had real experience related to the mystery.
On the contrary, you need to keep a distance in daily life.
The reason is still safety considerations.
But it is no longer to protect the safety of the operators, but to protect all ordinary people. Worrying that some accidents happen to them in their daily life may cause disasters in a community or even several streets. This is not unfounded worry, but in many cases. regulations formed under the dossier.
Although Zang Ti seems to be just the leader of the Mysterious Processing Department, strictly speaking, he can only be regarded as the third level of operators.
However, the department she belongs to and her special qualifications make her actual authority equal to the ministerial level in the General Affairs Bureau.
That's why I was able to throw a team leader-level alarm device to Zuo Dao so casually, allowing the boy to use it freely. You must know that this thing can directly alert several departments to operate quickly, and quickly bring justice and high-authority consumables to the sky. Except for thieves, It costs money, takes responsibility easily, and has no other shortcomings.
And what does the ministerial level of the Huacheng Department generally look like——
For example, there are the section chiefs of the Investigation Section and the Special Service Section of the General Affairs Bureau, the director of the Materials and Equipment Management Division, and so on. As for the Mysterious Processing Department, due to the special nature of the business, this director is led by Bai Xiuyuan, the director of the General Affairs Bureau. 'Dai, concurrently, is actually vacant.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this position will definitely be taken over by Zang Tiao in the future. The reason why she is not in the position now is simply because she is too young.
This youth is not a qualification. On the contrary, Zang Ti's qualifications are quite sufficient.
According to Fatty's gossips over the years, Zang Tiao lived with Bai Xiuyuan when he was very young. It was reported that it was an adoption, but it was not an orphanage adoption plot, but a disaster that had happened, and it was concluded that
fate.
The disaster was said to have happened twenty years ago, but no matter how specific it was, even Fatty couldn't get any more details. Those who had experienced it were all tight-lipped, but what they knew was that this disaster was unprecedented. A lot of ordinary people died.
It was also this disaster that made Chang Ti homeless at a young age. He was discovered and trained by Bai Xiuyuan, who was not the director at that time, nor was he a member of the General Affairs Bureau. They came to Huacheng ten years ago, and Bai Xiuyuan took over as director. After taking this position, Zang Ti also became an operator until today.
Of course, whether it is his childhood qualifications or his relationship with Bai Xiuyuan.
Zang Tiao moved into a more special community in Huacheng, and she and Bai Xiuyuan were neighbors. It is no exaggeration to say that in this community, if you meet a resident when you go out, you will find that they are all the backbone level figures in Huacheng.
And the root of the matter also appeared here. Bai Xiuyuan, who was the pillar of Huacheng, or one of the pillars in fighting the mysterious crisis, fell down from poisoning the day before yesterday.
"Poisoned?" Zuo Dao was a little surprised when he heard this.
What surprised him was nothing else but the fact that the old man, whom he had met once before, was plotted against like this? ….
Not to mention that this is so bad that it will hit rock bottom, but it is not far behind. It can easily enter the annual joke list.
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, @
Zi paused for a moment as he said this, opened a bottle of beer, blew a bottle of it, and burped before continuing:
"Chen Jiu discovered that the source of the poison was two salted fish, and those two salted fish...
"It was given by Zang Ti. Zang Ti was at work at the time, so we kept the matter a secret."
He patted his big face and continued with a weird look on his face:….
"You tell me whether it's outrageous or not, Brother Zuo. It was yesterday after that. Zang Ti submitted an action report, but Supervisor Chen Jiu kept it secret. Only today did these things happen."
Spectrum, separated——
Zuo Dao leaned back and raised his head slightly to think. Fatty also fell into silence because he felt too magical after what he said.
"What's going on with the team leader now?" Zuo Dao asked, squinting his eyes.
Fatty spreads his hands:
"Suspended for investigation, but to be honest... I think even Supervisor Chenjiu doesn't believe it. To be honest, Chang Tiao has no reason or motive to do such a thing, and - even if she wanted to do it, she wouldn't It could be that simple.
"For this reason, Supervisor Chen Jiu only took these measures for Zang Ti after deliberation, and did not take heavy action or arrest her directly, just because all the physical evidence now points to her, and it must be investigated according to the procedures.
"During the day, I heard that our team leader and your team leader had a fight, so they didn't fight each other when they came.
"But it's excusable. Our team leader was promoted by the director in Huacheng. I guess he has been holding back his anger since he learned the news two days ago. Plus..."
The fat man looked at Zuo Dao with a hesitant expression, his face full of e
"In addition, your actions this time are too coincidental, so by chance...we all made the trip."
Zuo Dao pinched his eyebrows.
This matter is now fully understood.
If I could sum it up in one simple sentence, it would be that Zang Tiao was framed.
But I have to say that it is very useful and directly disrupts all the patterns.
But when it comes to detail, things are very Muggle-y, or in other words, very complicated.
"What's going on with our manager Chen Jiu now?" Zuo Dao asked.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses:
"Director Chenjiu? According to the emergency plan, he is now the acting director of the General Affairs Bureau. His comprehensive approval department is an auxiliary to the general coordination of the General Affairs Bureau. It is half a level higher than the regular department. Brother Zuo doubts him?"
Saying this, the fat man hurriedly waved his hand, moving his buttocks a little further away from the left path:
"Don't think so. Just like the relationship between Zang Ti and Bai Xiuyuan, Chen Jiu can't do it either."
"Oh?" Zuo Dao said, showing some interest:
"Elaborate."
The fat man rubbed his hands, as if he had been shocked by the outrageous remarks he had made earlier and had not yet recovered:
"I just heard about this, and I'm not sure. I heard that Chen Jiu and Bai Xiuyuan were partners before, and later got together in Huacheng. However, Chen Jiu is not good at fighting. He is a auxiliary talent. Fundamentally, he cannot do anything. As the official director, there is no reason to play such a trick."
Zuo Dao nodded, but had some funny thoughts in his mind.
Good guy, the General Affairs Bureau has directly turned into a special event for direct lineage.
The key departments are all our own people, and then because something happened to the boss, our own people are suspicious of our own people.
Absolutely.
Seeing that the young man seemed to have given up such dangerous thoughts, the fat man said gloomily:
"So now you should know what is going on in the General Affairs Bureau. It can be said that everyone is in danger. Originally we were looking at the observation center for fun, but we didn't expect that we ourselves would also become happy, and it would be great fun. …
"The most troublesome thing is that no one is a suspect in this situation, but everyone is a suspect. Supervisor Chen Jiu's announcement at tonight's meeting is to increase efforts to arrest matters related to child worship, and Yan Fang will take over Chang Ti's case. Work.
"But that's what I'm saying, but I actually understand everything, hey——"
What the fat man said was very embarrassing.
, but Zuo Dao understood.
Under such internal problems, regardless of external factors, the internal problems alone can be solved.
As the largest mountain group, Bai Xiuyuan himself fell, and the second best player, Zang Ti, also "collapsed" inexplicably.
The only one left is Chen Jiu, whose combat power is unknown so far. Although he seems to have great authority, on the one hand, his position has the authority to approve all affairs of the General Affairs Bureau, and on the other hand, he also serves as the inspection team leader of the Secret Division.
But the reason why he can sit so firmly, Zuo Dao knows with a blink of an eye, is not just rules and regulations or qualifications, but also relies on permission from above and support from below.
But now, it means that Bai Xiuyuan above has fallen into a coma, and Zang Tiao below has been censored and supervised as a last resort, which is equivalent to the collapse of more than two-thirds of the largest mountain group in the General Affairs Bureau.
Now Chen Jiu may be struggling to maintain internal stability.
After all, the General Affairs Bureau is such a large comprehensive organization. It is not only a mountain, but also a sea. It can also be divided into many large and small areas. So now - it is those "mountains or seas" that are usually suppressed. ” people, it’s a good time to grab some cake.
As for child worship?
Sprinkle the water. Let's finish the cake first and then think of a solution. Isn't that okay?
It is easy for left-handedness to enter into some people's thoughts.
The fat man's last thought-provoking tone revealed that he was very unoptimistic about the next progress of "child worshipers" and the arrest of "child messengers".
"So how is the director's health now?" Zuo Dao asked, grasping the key points of the matter.
The fat man shook his head:
"That's not something we can know."
As he said that, he winked at Zuo Dao, as if to say - you Tantan?
Obviously, whether it was the former fighting friendship or the investment in favors from other standpoints, it was over, and it was his turn to give something back.
Unfortunately - there is no inside information or magical channels for leftists.
"I'll come back to you in a few days," the boy replied.
——When I receive the news about Zangwei, I will pick and choose, and I will definitely do it next time.
"Okay." Fatty was not surprised by the result:
"What do you think about the child worship thing?"
There was a bit of cruelty hidden in the fat man's smiling eyes.
"What the fat man meant was to ask me, during the brief conversation with me, did Zang Tiao leave some backup plans for me to continue targeting child worshipers?"
"But now, even if I join forces with Fatty or even others to worship children's education in private, no matter how effective it is, if something unexpected happens and I am exposed, I am currently on standby. Doing things in a state that is tantamount to illegal operations. If someone else internally The people at the top of the mountain were caught making a fuss, and maybe things didn't get done, so I went to accompany the team leader...
"Or is it that what the fat man is saying now is from another standpoint, testing my attitude on behalf of those people?" 』
Zuo Dao thought this way. Faced with this situation, he habitually assumed that the fat man - was there a possibility that he was actually a deep inside ghost? If he said something, he might be picked up by a big truck when he walked out of the nightclub. Come on. ….
With this idea in mind, after the two looked at each other briefly, Zuo Dao said:
"Wait and see."
——Wait for the party to never suffer a loss!
"It's just a mouthful -" the fat man calmed down and replied helplessly. He was not surprised by this answer:
"Then I'll leave. If you make any progress, you can come to me. The prerequisite is that you are a child-teacher. Fatty, I am timid and can only get involved in this matter."
Zuo Dao naturally agreed, and when he saw that the fat man seemed to be going to inspect the operation of the nightclub, he also left.
I can’t say that I walked cautiously along the way, I can only say that the paper man was in full swing.
...
General Affairs Bureau, underground, a group of offices of the Mystery Processing Department.
At this time, the air-conditioning in the hall was turned on for some reason, making me want to wear a cotton-padded jacket.
This is indeed the case for Zang Ti. She is wearing fluffy pajamas, and there are various daily necessities not far away, from quilts to sheets, and even a mattress.
, she herself stared at Yan Fang on the office chair.
One was wearing a pink fleece thickened one-piece pajamas, with his legs crossed and smoking a cigarette, while the other was wearing a law enforcement windbreaker and was rubbing his own special knife repeatedly without saying a word to each other.
This dull atmosphere seemed to last forever, but fortunately the door opened at this time.
Chen Jiu, who looked tired, walked in with a teacup. He couldn't help but shiver when he felt the cold air hitting his face.
"Xiao Zang, please take care of the old man and turn up the air conditioner for me."
As he spoke, he pulled a chair over to the two of them.
"The remote control is broken, I will do it next time." Zang Tiao replied.
Chen Jiu had no choice but to open the tea cup to get some warmth:
"The situation is very bad now. Lao Bai is still in a coma and the ritual is damaged.
"Although I asked Xiao Yan to take your place internally and continue the work of arresting child worshipers, some people still took the burden off him for various reasons. Now I can only come and "chat" with you. You should also stop arguing with Xiao Yan. It's not that he doesn't want to complete the work, but that he has no choice. Now that he is sitting on your special team, he can't do anything.
"The situation is obvious now. Lao Bai's problem was targeted premeditatedly. We punished the child envoy. After so many days, I'm afraid he was so angry that he used some tricks that could only be used at the last moment. We have only one hand, but I have to say, it is very effective.
"Some people who only think about power are willing to put a knife in front of you. If your suspicion is not cleared for a day, it will be difficult to do this job, but it will be difficult to clear it. They are the first to not It's allowed, although it won't cause any personal harm to you, as long as you are restrained.
"Some people who only have power in mind use "rules" as a banner, but they are indeed "compliant". We cannot act rashly. We cannot break the "rules" unless we have to. This is the foundation of our Chinese domain. . "
Chen Jiu told Zang Ti about today's internal affairs in a few words, and also conveyed his trust in her.
Zang Ti put the cigarette butt in the ashtray and kneaded it hard, frowning:
"Bullshit, if there was something wrong with me, Old Man Bai would have been dead for 5,678 years. Lao Chen, are you sure that bad old man didn't poison himself, pretend to leave the show, lurk in secret, and then come back again?"...
Chen Jiu shook his head and took out his internal terminal and handed it to Zang Ti. Inside, Bai Xiuyuan was lying on the hospital bed.
Bai Xiuyuan in the middle has a withered complexion. At this moment, he looks like an old man.
Not only did his face turn black, but his entire body was sealed inside by a large rectangular ice block. Even though he was lying in a hospital bed, he did not have any medical equipment for treatment.
"You see, it's impossible." Chen Jiu sighed when he saw the murderous look on Zang Wei's face.
"Xiu Yuan's ritual weakness is no secret. After all, his Bai Zang ritual made many people scared. Because of this, there are countless people who study him, and his enemies know it better than he does. He knows it, but knowing it is one thing, and whether it can be broken is another matter.
"The weakness of his ritual is that he cannot be poisoned. Regardless of the poison in any sense, be it the combination of food or the toxicity of the drug, logically speaking, this ritual is really ***, which means that the range of medicines that can be taken during battle There are so few that you have to be careful with your meals.
"Fortunately, Xiuyuan's soul power is very powerful, enough to analyze and avoid many problems, but this time the boat capsized. It seems that Xiuyuan immediately realized something was wrong not long after eating it, and used his ability to forcefully seal himself. And the toxin did not penetrate deep into the internal organs; although the ritual was damaged, it was not irreversible, and the human problem was not that big. I just couldn't wake up in the past few months.
"The other party's intentions are also very sinister. It is not yet clear how the other party added poison to this food. We can only preliminarily determine the actual unnatural toxin. In short, it is a curse ritual——"
Listening to Chen Jiu's introduction, Zang Ti handed the terminal to Yan Fang and asked the other party to take a look at the situation, while she looked at Chen Jiu seriously.
"Lao Chen, what do you think now?"
"We can only let people from Tianlang Pavilion come, but..." Chen Jiu said, then frowned and said:
"Their answer to me was - wait."
"Wait?" The person who answered was not Zang Tiao, but Yan Fang. He couldn't believe it.
"Yeah..." Chen Jiu took a sip of hot tea tiredly:
"Speaking of which, is Xiuyuan hiding something from us?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Fang also looked at Zang Tiao, trying to find something.
Zang Tiao frowned, remembering the conversation between Bai Xiuyuan and Lin Hongcai not long ago, and Old Man Bai's sincere advice.
He looked at Chen Jiu's clear eyes again and said without any emotion:
"I'm not sure either. The old man is usually a Riddler, as you know."
Chen Jiu thought deeply:
"Indeed, in short, you stay here for the next few days. If nothing can be done, we will think of other ways.
"Is there anything you need my help with out there?"
Zang Ti didn't hesitate and answered directly:
"There is one, Lao Chen, please help me give some information to a person.
"And, help me arrange for these two people to go out.".
