Today's Dajing City is still prosperous and peaceful.
However, in this seemingly peaceful atmosphere, many special people have arrived here from all over the country.
Although few people know the identities of these guests who come from all over the country, those who know a little bit know in their hearts that these seemingly inconspicuous guests are about to participate in a meeting that will determine the future situation.
The time is now one o'clock in the afternoon, half an hour before the official start time of the captain's meeting.
I don’t know if it’s because too many strange people gathered in one place. The weather in Dajing City was obviously quite good this morning, but in the afternoon the sky became dark. Dark clouds shrouded the city and the air became a bit...
It's damp and makes your chest feel a little heavy.
However, weather conditions obviously could not affect the holding of the meeting.
The meeting took place in an open space outside the headquarters.
Under the gloomy sky, a huge round table was placed in the open space, with a total of thirteen chairs placed around it. Except for Cao Yanhua, the deputy minister responsible for convening the meeting, the remaining twelve chairs corresponded to the twelve
A captain.
In addition, there is a row of chairs outside the conference seat, which is prepared for candidate captains.
At this time.
As the meeting began, some captains who had arrived at the headquarters building early came out of the building one after another.
Cao Yang, Li Jun, Wei Jing, Wang Chaling, Liu San, He Yin'er.
Including Lu Zhiwen, the civilian captain who rarely showed up on weekdays, also took his seat at this moment.
"Seven."
Cao Yanhua, who was the first to arrive at the venue to wait for the captains to arrive, couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw a famous captain taking his seat.
As a deputy minister, he felt stressed from the moment he planned the meeting.
You must know that there are not many opportunities to gather all the top ghost masters in the country like now. Fortunately, relying on the efforts of the law enforcement captain Yang Jian, many difficult problems have been solved.
After all, this captain meeting was successfully held.
At the same time, when the captains were taking their seats, the candidate captains who came to attend the meeting were also arriving one after another.
Zhou Deng, Lin Bei, Yang Jian's high school classmate Liu Qi, in addition to Li Jun's side A Hong, Feng Quan and Su Fan who are also veteran ghost controllers, and a man who came to Beijing after the last meeting
Wen Zhong, the person in charge of Da'an City, is a ghost controller whom I have never seen before.
And when almost all the people attending the meeting have arrived.
An oppressive supernatural aura enveloped the place, and a terrifying scarlet ghost realm appeared in the sky above the headquarters.
this moment.
The thick dark clouds were dispersed by the scarlet light, and a huge hole was torn open between the clouds by the scarlet light. Warm sunlight fell from the gap, covering the entire headquarters, and the thunder and strong wind echoed in the sky.
It disappeared at this moment, and everything here became brighter.
When the red light dissipated, Yang Jian had appeared on the road not far away. Under everyone's gaze, he strode over.
"Yang Jian is here." Cao Yanhua secretly thought.
Yang Jian walked over without saying a word, then sat down in his seat and glanced at the people arriving at the venue.
"I remember you said before that, excluding the dead Jiang Shangbai and Shen Lin who disappeared in the Ghost Lake incident, and excluding the captain Zhang Xun who was on a mission abroad, there should be nine captains arriving at the venue now."
Yang Jian glanced at the captains around him, counted the number of people, and then asked Cao Yanhua: "But it seems that there are only eight captains here now, and there is still one person missing."
"Huh? Yes, there seems to be one more to go."
Not only Cao Yanhua was asked, but some captains and alternate captains also noticed this strange thing at this moment.
It seems that there is still one captain who did not show up at the venue?
"It's not bad, I'm right here."
Suddenly, just when everyone was confused and couldn't remember who was missing, a stranger in a black coat suddenly appeared on the seat, and happened to be next to Cao Yanhua.
He seemed to have arrived at the venue early and had been sitting in his seat, but no one noticed his presence from just now until now.
If he hadn't chosen to expose himself, I'm afraid Cao Yanhua would have asked the staff to come over and carefully count who was missing.
"Are you...Li Leping?"
A person suddenly appeared next to him, which frightened Cao Yanhua. Fortunately, as a deputy minister, he had also experienced strong winds and waves, so he quickly came to his senses and looked at the strange captain's desk. The name tag in front of him immediately revealed the person's identity.
Li Leping nodded, and then looked similar to the other captains, sitting motionless in his position, like a cold corpse.
"Wait a minute, Deputy Minister, I have a question."
Suddenly, the bald man who Li Leping had just met, sitting in the position of alternate captain, spoke up.
"Ask." Cao Yanhua said.
The bald man touched his bald head and asked this question with a curious look on his face: "Although my authority is not high, I can still get some brief introductions about the captains. This captain named Li Leping seems to be an unknown person." People are easy to remember. In that case, how can you be sure that the person sitting in this position is Li Leping?"
Cao Yanhua was startled when he heard this. Just when he was about to explain, Yang Jian was one step ahead of him and said: "The person who came and sat in Li Leping's seat is Li Leping. As for how to verify it? You said it yourself, you can't remember it. That’s Li Leping.”
At this time, Liu San, who was sitting on the side of the conference table, added: "Actually, if you close your eyes and think about his appearance, if you can't remember it, it means he is Li Leping."
"I see, I took the liberty."
The bald man smiled sheepishly.
And this is just a small episode before the meeting officially begins.
However, all the ghost controllers present who were not familiar with Li Leping still silently remembered what Liu San said.
After all, we are all ghost masters at the headquarters now, and we are also half-colleagues in any case. It is better to have a way to confirm Li Leping's identity than to do something to Li Leping inexplicably one day in the future.
A person who cannot be remembered is not only a nightmare for the enemy, but also a nightmare for teammates.
When life and death are at stake, when facing a powerful enemy, God knows whether that strange guy who suddenly appears next to you and says something out of the blue is an enemy or a friend?
"Okay, since everyone is here now, we can start the meeting."
Cao Yanhua patted the table gently, attracting everyone's attention.
However, after he finished these things, he did not continue talking. Instead, he looked at Yang Jian first, as if asking for Yang Jian's opinion.
Now as the law enforcement captain, Yang Jian is naturally the highest-ranking person in the captain's meeting, so even if Cao Yanhua is the deputy minister of the headquarters, he must first obtain Yang Jian's approval before starting the meeting.
"You can host it."
Yang Jian, who was sitting in the chair, leaned back. His tone was cold, obviously not interested in such red tape.
Cao Yanhua, who received Yang Jian's consent, immediately started the meeting: "Okay, now let's talk about the first thing about convening this meeting..."
Without any time-consuming opening remarks, Cao Yanhua, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, went straight to the topic and began to introduce the issues that needed to be discussed at the meeting according to the process.
