The speakers from Kyushu and Kunlun stood facing each other under the sycamore tree.
A young man and a middle-aged man.
One is wearing a gray suit and the other is wearing a black tunic suit.
The world seems to be separated from the sycamore tree trunks between them, forming a strong and sharp contrast.
Former comrades-in-arms are now competitors.
"I'm curious, you are far away in the capital but come to Luocheng twice a month. Is there anything in this that attracts you?" Zheng Yuandong asked calmly under the sycamore tree.
He Jinqiu smiled: "Boss Zheng is joking. Kunlun successfully captured four gangsters last night. How could I, Kyushu, not come take a look and congratulate me by the way?"
"This is a matter within Kunlun, so there is no need for congratulations," Zheng Yuandong responded casually: "And there are still five people at large, so everyone has no time to celebrate."
"It's a matter of duty..." He Jinqiu said with a smile: "Boss Zheng is reminding me that Jiuzhou has broken its rules recently."
From the beginning when the two organizations were established, different functions were defined.
Kunlun does not involve foreign affairs, and Kyushu does not involve internal affairs.
Just like the difference between the CIA and the FBI, even though the CIA has controlled 70% of the intelligence discourse overseas and can even independently plan small war activities, they still have no legitimate power at home.
The same is true for Kyushu.
But He Jinqiu never seemed to intend to abide by this rule. In the nineteen cities, the two organizations of Kunlun and Jiuzhou were intertwined, and unexpected conflicts would appear from time to time.
In the capital, the two sides almost clashed over a time-walker girl named Jiu Ran.
At this time, He Jinqiu suddenly asked: "Boss Zheng is not anxious at all?"
"What are you anxious about?" Zheng Yuandong asked.
"Once He Xiaoxiao's group chat is established, time walkers from all over the country will pour into the hands of Jiuzhou. When there is no one in Kunlun, how can we ensure that we can complete our duties?"
As he spoke, a sycamore leaf spun down in the sky and was gently held by He Jinqiu in his hand: "I do know that Boss Zheng has the ability to obtain genetic medicine, which can be of great use to even ordinary soldiers. But have you ever?
Have you told the children in Kunlun about the sequelae of those genetic medicines?"
Zheng Yuandong said: "Everyone's choice is different. Now that you have chosen it, there is no need to regret it."
"By the way, why did Kunlun upgrade all Liu Dezhu's information to the top secret level?" He Jinqiu asked: "Although the other party traveled through time and was next to a big man in the other world like Li Shutong, I always feel something is wrong."
Zheng Yuandong shook his head: "I refuse to answer."
He Jinqiu's fingertips suddenly pulled out a gold coin, as if playing with it. The gold coin kept jumping between his slender fingers, rolling and jumping between the little finger and the index finger, and then rolling and jumping back again, as if there was something in it.
soul.
On the front of the gold coin is a ring pattern made of wheat ears, while on the back are two crossed swords.
He looked at Zheng Yuandong and asked: "I personally observed Liu Dezhu. From the perspective of the old squad leader, you must look down on him, so why did you raise his secret level to the highest level? Is it to protect him? Or to pass the protection
Is he here to protect others? Or to mislead me?"
On the ground between the two of them, the leaves suddenly swirled, as if there was an invisible wind gently moving them.
He Jinqiu couldn't understand the whole story of last night when Kunlun blocked the news.
However, he understands Zheng Yuandong.
"Old squad leader," He Jinqiu said: "Isn't it Liu Dezhu you want to protect?"
But Zheng Yuandong did not answer the question, but looked at the gold coin in his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know which extraordinary person left the ACE-099 forbidden object, also known as the 'correct gold coin', which can determine the truth and
lie."
The gold coin fell steadily into He Jinqiu's hands. He was surprised and said: "Old monitor, you really know everything."
"Although the taboo ace-099 has disappeared for a long time, its function is not a secret," Zheng Yuandong responded.
"Well, it seems that I can't ask anything else today, but," He Jinqiu's smile grew thicker: "It's not that I gained nothing."
After saying that, He Jinqiu turned around and left, the gold coin in his hand roaring in a low voice.
It wasn't until he got into the back seat of a black car beside the administrative road that he slowly took out a 100-gram gold bar from his arms.
He Jinqiu gently touched the forbidden object ace-099 with the gold bar.
In an instant, the gold bars flowed into the gold coins as if they had melted, but there was no change in the size of the gold coins.
Slowly, the pattern on the gold coin began to flow like liquid, like a calm lake.
He Jinqiu said softly: "My debt has been paid."
In the blink of an eye, the front of the gold coin re-condensed into a wheat ear ring, and silence returned.
He Jinqiu looked out the window. He came with the 'correct gold coin', but the boss Zheng did not give him a chance to ask the answer.
"The prerequisite is to turn a gold coin on the back of your finger, which is a bit too noticeable," he sighed.
The driver in the front row glanced at the rearview mirror and asked: "Boss, our people have not been able to find the whereabouts of the five fugitive suspects. It is said that the interrogation in Kunlun has some clues. Do you want to find a way to get them?"
He Jinqiu shook his head: "This is Boss Zheng's home court, let him handle it himself."
…
Because the next day was the National Day, the students had no intention of studying in the afternoon. Everyone was talking about going to Laojun Mountain.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, class teacher Tian Hailong suddenly announced an early holiday to the class: "Although I give everyone a holiday in advance, I hope you understand that this is already the second year of high school. So, adjust your mentality well and don't let your mind get wild."
Qingchen was surprised that he didn't have to skip class today.
He left the classroom early, met Jiang Xue and Li Tongyun, and then got on the bus to Laojun Mountain.
Little girl Li Tongyun is carrying her own small schoolbag, which is full of snacks.
However, what Qingchen didn't know was that the itinerary of Hu Xiaoniu and others seemed to have changed due to the early holiday. The rented bus stopped in front of the school at five o'clock in the afternoon.
At 5:20, students from Grade 2 Class 3 and Grade 4 Grade 2 students first went home to pick up their things, and then gathered in front of the bus.
Someone asked Nan Gengchen: "Eh? Where is Xiaonan and Qingchen? Didn't he come?"
"Yeah, he doesn't seem to be in our tourist group," someone said.
"Oh, he said he had other plans for the National Day, so he won't go," Nan Gengchen sighed.
Not far away, two Kunlun members who had been driving to follow Liu Dezhu looked at this scene and immediately reported the news to the headquarters: "There is something abnormal on Liu Dezhu's side. They seem to be renting a bus to travel. What instructions are there? Are reinforcements sent?
?”
The colleague on duty at the headquarters replied: "The road team has received news that there are suspected gangsters in Meng County, north of Luo City. They seem to be leaving Luo City. They are chasing them now. The road team has instructed you two to follow Liu Dezhu and not send any more troops for the time being.
Reinforcements are coming. Several of our brothers are injured and on leave. When they come back from vacation tomorrow, we will rush to replace you early in the morning. Let’s work hard today.”
"Okay, no hard work," the two Kunlun members responded.
Meng County, where the suspect appeared, is to the north and south of Z County, where Laojunshan is located.
