When Lang Jin and Tang Li returned to the box, they were only a few steps apart.
Before entering the door, I heard Liu Xuezhi talking about himself about his trip to Kelgehu: "I won't talk about Lang Jin's other advantages, such as being calm and calm and willing to study, but there is one that I think is the first
Damn, he's really up for it when something happens! If he hadn't grabbed me and dragged me back, I would have been swallowed by that school of amphibious fish..."
Rankin didn't want to go in under such a topic and atmosphere, so after thinking about it, he simply didn't go in and went to the front desk to pay.
When I returned, I reached the entrance of the corridor. On one side was my own wine shop, and on the other side was another place around the corner. There were voices coming from both sides.
Langkin suddenly stopped, glanced to both sides, hesitated slightly, and walked to the other side.
Turning the corner, in front of the door where the faint sound of laughter could be heard was heard, without hesitation at all, he pushed it open.
The laughter in the room continued as before, but it only lasted for a second or so, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked over.
Lang Jin's dark and thin face showed obvious surprise and embarrassment: "Sorry, I went to the wrong place."
He quickly closed the door and turned to leave.
But the scene in the room still clearly appeared in his mind: the table was full and no one left; no one was similar in face, body, or dress.
That man, the drunkard who had been in the same bathroom as Director Tang Li, was not a guest at this table at all.
Rankin took a breath, walked quickly back to his private room, pushed the door open, and reintegrated into the banquet according to his role, being a listener, observer and service staff.
Even if someone made fun or complimented him on the previous topic, he would just smile and not show off.
Although he is the office director, the overall personnel of the high-energy center are still the same technical talents who have devoted many years of study in the operation office. However, due to serious injuries, he can no longer go out to work and has to be transferred.
The banquet ended happily tonight, and Lang Jin took Tang Li home in his car.
Tang Li seemed to have drunk too much, and the two of them had little communication along the way. When they arrived at the high-end residential area where Tang Li lived, he spoke:
"No need to send it in, I'll come down and take a walk."
"Good director."
Lang Jin did not show any pretense and immediately turned back with the driver, Lao Sun.
On the way, Lao Sun also said: "Director, I will take you back."
Lang Jin said: "No need, I have a field behind me, just go to Jianbo Road and let me down."
To be a driver, you need to be enthusiastic but also measured. It wasn't long before Lang Jin was transferred to the office, and Lao Sun didn't have a close relationship with him yet, so he didn't say much. He just said "Xing Le", and he was quick and steady.
Money is sent to the place.
It's just that God was not kind, and at this time, raindrops like ox hair suddenly fell in the night, and soon formed a strip of neon light on the road.
"Oh, let's go down again!" Lao Sun muttered, "If we go down again, the main city area will start to float."
Houses and floating corpses on the outskirts of the city are already floating.
This sentence only turned around in Lang Jin's mind, but he did not say it out loud.
Lao Sun turned to look at him: "Director, I'd better take you to the ground. Look at the weather..."
"Already arrived."
Smiling, Langjin again rejected Lao Sun's offer to find him an umbrella, pushed open the door and got out of the car. After Lao Sun had walked away, he looked around, then called a taxi and went to the previous private restaurant.
On the way, he had already communicated with the person in charge over there, saying that important items were left there. This was of course false, and the other party must not have found it. After Langkin arrived, it was natural for him to ask for surveillance. The other party was unwilling.
, however, the high-energy center brand above Rankin's head is very strong, and even if the boss is an insider, he is not willing to offend easily.
Rankin finally got what he wanted and saw the picture he wanted.
As for "important items", is there such a thing?
When Rankin left, he was also given a big black umbrella as a gift.
Holding an umbrella and walking in the gradually gathering rain, he was still replaying the scene in his mind.
The so-called "at that time" refers to the time when Tang Li was in the bathroom and Lang Jin was outside, but before that person turned the corner.
The surveillance clearly showed that the man did not come out of the room that Longkin thought he had. He stayed at the corner for a long time, as if he was on the phone, thus deceiving the waiter and the guests in nearby rooms, and observing the high-energy center from time to time.
and the Internal Affairs Bureau, and waited until Tang Li got to the bathroom before taking decisive action.
He pushed the door over there open a gap, creating the illusion of going out, and then he walked over without stopping, misleading Rankin's judgment, and entered the bathroom.
Apparently, his target is Tang Li.
Although in the end, both people came out of the bathroom without any abnormality.
But with such a scene in front of you, how can you make people believe that they have no evil intentions?
If we follow this logic, how did Tang Li eliminate that person's evil thoughts without pain, disaster, or trouble?
In addition, there is another doubt.
Rankin imported several key pieces of surveillance footage he had captured into the internal system, including the front, side and back of the person he had quietly recorded in the bathroom, and conducted targeted searches and comparisons. The final similarity allowed him to
frown:
this person……
Langkin was walking on the street when he subconsciously stopped and turned to look at the opposite side of the intersection where he was standing through the dense rain curtain.
There was a huge bulletin board with a color screen, and the originally clear picture in the rain curtain seemed to have a double image.
??????????.??????
At this time, the above is continuously switching between those wanted persons who have committed serious crimes in the East 725th District and the police have been unable to arrest them for a while. The extremely high reward has attracted everyone's attention and provided clues, and also tempted some "professionals" in this area to help
Contribution.
Rankin didn't care about anything else. He stood there until one of them was unshaven, cold and thin, like the image of a tramp reflected in his pupils.
If he shaved off his beard and gained some weight, it would look exactly like him!
Langkin stood at the street corner holding an umbrella, his brows wrinkled habitually, inevitably having some subtle thoughts.
In the past, he thought that the relationship between the new director and the wanted criminal who almost killed him with three grenades was a simple one of killing and being killed.
But now, it seems very complicated here?
Langkin suddenly felt regretful. He shouldn't have gotten to the bottom of it. Maybe he had touched upon the new boss's unspeakable secret.
Although this kind of thing is not uncommon in this era.
At this time, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. He was stunned for half a second. He subconsciously raised his head and glanced left and right until his eyes crossed the street again and reached near the bulletin board on the other side, and then he locked on the source of the dangerous feeling.
It's that guy!
At this time, across the two-way six-lane street, wasn't he the guy who had misled his judgment and met him in the bathroom?
The man was still dressed as he was at that time, but no longer as drunk as he was at that time. He was standing under the bulletin board, staring directly at him with gloomy eyes.
It was also at this time that the bulletin board circulated for the second time, and the wanted criminal with a high reward was reappeared:
Pava!
An alarm sounded in Rankin's mind, and he subconsciously took a step back. Regardless of the intensity of the rain, he folded up the big black umbrella to ensure that it would not block his view. At this time, there was still a gap between him and Pava.
It's a huge intersection, and there's traffic rolling through it, but according to the information, that guy can do anything.
However, what happened next was not as bad as Rankin expected.
Pava, who had shaved off his beard, just stared at him deeply for a few seconds, then turned around and merged into the crowd of people on the street, further distanced himself from him, and soon disappeared.
Rankin didn't know what Pava meant by this. But he didn't dare to be careless. He stood in the rain for at least four or five minutes at this crossroads where traffic flowed and people came and went. During this period, he thought of calling the police many times, at least to give him a warning.
Send a message internally at the High Energy Center to call for support or something.
However, every time this time, he would inevitably see the shadow of the new boss behind Pava's face.
Pava did not return after all, and Rankin also felt that he had been exposed to such an overly complicated environment for too long, so he held an umbrella and headed in a direction that felt more suitable to him. But before he had taken a few steps, the phone rang.
, after looking at the caller ID, Longin's entire spine was paralyzed.
Tang Li's name is prominently displayed above.
The bell rang three times, and with the instinct of a newly cultivated office manager, Langin answered the phone at the limit:
"Director."
"It's so late, haven't you slept?"
"Ah, no."
The leader's concern was just fleeting, and Tang Li soon turned to the topic: "Tomorrow is October, and it is necessary for the center to hold another meeting. The main purpose is to re-emphasize the key points of the work, and at the same time, look at each department to understand the new spirit.
After that, everyone will have their own work ideas. Don’t rush to start. Let’s have a brief talk at 5 o’clock in the afternoon when we get off work. It doesn’t need to be long. Each person has three minutes to make a quick decision and take care of the meal in the evening.”
This kind of arrangement was originally ordinary, but at this time, for Rankin, it was tantamount to a painful torture.
He inevitably had to devote most of his energy to being vigilant about the disappeared Pava, but it was impossible to ignore Tang Li's arrangements. He even had to think about whether the new boss suddenly made such a call at such a sensitive moment.
What is being hinted at?
Amidst all the distracting thoughts, Langkin was inevitably in a trance and answered the call purely by instinct.
The person on the phone had almost finished explaining, and it seemed that he had just heard about his situation: "You are outside, caught in the rain."
Is this an expression of dissatisfaction?
Langkin's mind cleared up for a moment, he muttered a vague "Yeah", and finally took the initiative to ask: "Shall I contact the secretary and prepare a speech outline for you?"
Tang Li was noncommittal and just said: "You can come to my office tomorrow morning and talk about it."
After hanging up the phone, Rankin knew that he had performed poorly just now, but at this time he breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't be distracted by this, it's really...
He suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to the thin man who was also looking at him, only seven or eight meters behind the rain curtain.
Behind the rain curtain, Pava was standing there for some time, with no intention of taking action.
He put his hands in his pockets, looked at Rankin a few more times, suddenly grinned, and uttered a strange word:
"Long tail."
Lang Jin was stunned for a moment, suddenly in a trance, as if he had suddenly stepped into an incredible dream.
He was stunned for at least three seconds before he struggled to utter two words:
"lizard."
Then, a particularly clear thought emerged in his mind:
So, Pava didn't attack Tang Li, not because of any connection between him and Tang Li, but simply because he recognized me?
Recognized a dark particle that was inexplicably embedded in the high-energy center?
