Not long after, Lang Jin suddenly knew what Tang Li really meant when he said "don't worry".
Because it was useless for him to be anxious. Suddenly, Tang Li was nowhere to be found. He just said it was some personal matter, and then stopped coming to work, and no one could find him. That's all. Normally, the top boss in the workplace would steal someone.
Lazy, no one can control it, especially this kind of vertical pipe unit...
But don’t let the trap above grab you!
On Wednesday, October 16, because Dongfan triggered the "Blood Moon Hook" system response twice and was suspected of being a "Category A object", the regional center specially appointed Director Lu Yang of the Operations Office to lead a team down for disposal. And
Not to mention that he came here under orders, and he was a senior official; even when he went to East 824th District, Tang Li had dealt with this person before, and he was treated with courtesy. At this time, he should be polite...
However, if he couldn't find anyone, he couldn't find anyone. Langkin, the office director, stepped directly into the pit and was almost buried.
Fortunately, Mei Zhu had a good relationship with Director Lu Yang, so he stepped in and managed to deal with it. Kelang Jin could not escape the disaster anyway, so Mei Zhu picked him up and gave him a lesson.
If his old boss was really angry and reprimanded, Lang Jin could only accept it. He probably knew that Mei Zhu was not satisfied with the recent "atmosphere". Tang Li acted willfully and even criticized him wildly. That was because of his personality. Everyone
It's bearable; but if you don't even bother to do the superficial things, and you have a complete stalemate with the regional center, destroying the overall ecology, in today's world, the entire regional center may have to suffer.
Therefore, Mei Zhu's dissatisfaction hit Lang Jin on the head. He did not dare to say that he was badly wounded, but when he returned to his office, he was still a little disgraced.
Archivist Jing Xiu joined in the fun and comforted him: "You have such an unreliable leader, do you finally understand how I feel?"
Lang Jin glanced at her: "Are you talking about me or Yingdi? Do you want to apologize?"
"Okay, I'm the one with a bad mouth."
Jing Xiu could see that Lang Jin was indeed not in a good mood, so he stopped talking and retreated with a feint. However, he was soon stopped again: "The information I asked you to find..."
"According to the scope you listed, we are still collecting it. There are about 60% to 70%, which is quite sensitive." Jing Xiu answered honestly, "But some of them require special permissions, so I can only read the title and read the meaning of the text.
I made a list for you, you can ask the BOSS to sign it later...if you can find it."
Jing Xiu couldn't help but stab him, and then quickly called up the electronic document to talk about business:
"According to what you said, the two paths have been classified: Kang Heng and the Lost Kingdom; Kang Heng and the Piao Gang."
The former is Tang Li's area of concern, and the latter is Lang Jin's reminder to Tang Li.
It is said that Tang Li only arranged for Lang Jin to investigate the situation of "Kang Heng and the Lost Kingdom", but the leader's verbal instructions were too arbitrary, and he could never just do what he said. The connection between "Kang Heng and the Piao Gang"
, it was Lang Jin who reminded Tang Li that he only had time to say one sentence at that time, which was not detailed enough and also brought up the line of "lost country". In this way, we can't be lazy, and a written report is more secure.
These two intelligence lines, "Lost Country", are the professional areas of the High Energy Center. The problem is that they are more sensitive. They have to take care of the Kang regime's face. Some incidents and clues are often sealed.
The "Piao Gang" seems not to be difficult, but the living business they are accustomed to is not just the trafficking of women and children. At this stage, the research on omnic transformation, legal and illegal, requires a lot of "living materials". Well, the colony
We have never been qualified to engage in "omnic research" here. Involving this field is basically illegal, but the bigger the power, the more it needs this.
If you think about Pava's transformation channels, you will know that the military is a big customer.
If you follow this clue, you will find a lot to discover, but if you really go deep, you will face the same problem - at this level, Kang Heng is the leader of a large army, but he is not as good as the Caotou King. He has selfish motives in many things, but
There are also quite a few things that were done on behalf of Kang's administration.
What to check, how to check, and to what extent it needs to be screened.
However, Lang Jin will not overstep his authority. This is what Tang Li wants to do... Even if he instinctively feels that this person may not be able to do it properly, he cannot skip the necessary steps.
Rankin looked at the list of documents that needed Tang Li's signature and sighed subconsciously.
"Hey, we've run into something difficult, should I wait?" Someone spoke at the door. Lang Jin looked up and saw that it was Qu Wan from the Special Operations Division who came to the door.
"Qu Chu, you guys chat." Jing Xiu understood the situation and left immediately.
Qu Wan is also an old man in the subdivision center. He was the successor trained by Liu Xuezhi. However, due to various reasons, he did not continue to work in the operation office and was transferred to the special department. It was Lang Jin who took over the position of director of the operation office.
The relationship between the two is a bit subtle, but overall it's okay.
Due to the special nature of the special office, Qu Wan seldom took the initiative to interact with people on weekdays. Now that he found this place, he was ordered by Mei Zhu to deliver materials to Lang Jin.
Well, I am still an old superior, and I will try my best to meet Lang Jin’s requirements.
"About the information you want."
"It's what Mr. Tang wants."
"It's all the same."
After Qu finished delivering the materials, he used paper. After entering, he habitually closed the office door, threw the document bag on Langkin's desk, and found a seat on the sofa next to him.
He is about forty years old, wearing black-rimmed round glasses. He is a bit sluggish and lacks energy. He seems to be an older middle-aged man who works hard to get off work. It is completely impossible to tell that he is responsible for intelligence or assassination.
Director of Children's High Energy Center.
In his work, he rarely used assassination methods. In the past ten years, he quickly changed the Special Branch into the Intelligence Branch.
Lang Jin thanked him, opened the document bag, took a few glances and confirmed: "With the Piao Gang, your informant level is not low."
"It's not bad. So this time, I came here not only to deliver materials to you, but also to report to Mr. Tang. Can you recommend this informant to the position?" Qu Wan was very careful in what he said. It felt like he always focused on soliciting other people's opinions. "
There is no need to reach Xu Piao’s position. As long as it is one level higher than it is now, our control over the Piao Gang and even the unofficial forces in the western suburbs will be improved. Of course, this requires a certain amount of resource investment."
"Well, this really needs to be reported to Mr. Tang." Lang Jin pondered for a moment and nodded, "But wouldn't it be better for Mr. Mei to discuss this matter with him directly?"
"Mr. Mei...may still be hesitant."
"oh?"
"He is saying that I don't know if there will be a Piao Gang in the future... It would be better to have one less gang like this in the central city and its suburbs."
"What Mr. Mei said makes sense." Lang Jin jumped back without hesitation, and then said to Qu Wan, "Anyway, Mr. Tang will not be here these two days, so you can add it up..."
As he said that, he jumped away from the topic, turned over a few more pages of information, and frowned: "Qu Chu, what you have given me, the connection between the 'Lost Country' and Kang Heng, and the 'Piao Gang' and Kang Heng is still very
It’s blurry.”
Qu Wan pushed up his round glasses with his fingers and smiled: "But if Kang Heng is excluded, the relationship between the 'Piao Gang' and the 'Lost Country' will be clearer, don't you think?"
Rankin still frowned.
Qu Wan didn't need to look at the information, and the key points came right out of his mouth: "In the past few years, to be precise, in the past three years, the 'Lost Country' has been the largest customer of the 'Piao Gang', and the number of people buying and selling has been increasing year by year. This year it will be even more
There is a big outbreak. By the end of September, the exact number is hard to say, but there are always two or three thousand? And this is a growth achieved on the premise that the quantity provided by other local suppliers is basically stable. Taking into account multiple factors, said 'Piao Bang'
'It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the largest supplier of the Lost Kingdom... Isn't this relationship worthy of attention?"
Rankin twitched his lips: This can be considered a two-way journey.
He quickly caught a keyword: "This year's outbreak?"
"Well, in April and May this year, there was obviously a sharp rise; there was a two-month low period in the middle, and then it started to rise again in August, and it has been going on. We all thought that there was going to be some big move, and we were afraid that these people would let them go.
It was all a blood sacrifice... Oh!"
Having said that, Rankin was a little impressed.
Before Tang Li came, a similar situation was mentioned at the central office meeting, but the Piao Gang was not involved.
No wonder... Lang Jin remembered that when Mei Zhu explained the cult organization to Tang Li, he listed the "Lost Country" as the top priority. This should be the reason.
Rankin asked again: "Where have these people gone? Are they digested in the local area, or are they transported out of the country? Thousands of people, stuffed into sardine cans, will take dozens of trains, right?"
Qu Wan shook his head: "Sinotransport is not cost-effective. The twelve major districts are already densely populated areas. Unless we go further, why bother?"
"So, are blood sacrifices increasing in this area?"
"This is the problem. Judging from the monitoring results of the 'Blood Moon Hook', large-scale blood sacrifices basically did not occur. People were sold from the 'Piao Gang', and the 'Lost Country' also accepted them, and then... they disappeared.
"
Langkin rarely complained: "It would be ridiculous to let them succeed in trading."
Qu Wan said "Yeah", but then said: "However, many people try to sell themselves at a higher price, which seems even more ridiculous."
Langkin was silent for two seconds before returning to his professional field: "Perhaps it is an unknown, frequent small secret ritual? Your informant in the 'Lost Country' should have some information, right?"
"There are not many normal people who can prosper there, and it's hard for us to get involved." Qu Wan also sighed, "Of course, transporting thousands of living people will always be difficult.
There should be clues. So we believe that the recent 'surge' is a kind of local disposal, but unreasonably low-key, which is very different from the behavior of the 'Lost Country'... just like the ebb before the tsunami."
Qu Wan said this, paused for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Mei has a guess: isn't everyone saying that the seventh round of high-energy tide may be coming, and the 'Lost Country' should also be preparing. Although they are crazy, after all,
It’s really a ‘spiritual response’, and its perception system is very different from ours.”
"Seventh round?"
Lang Jin thought for a while, but really didn't have the energy to go deeper, so he simply lowered his head and looked at the materials again. After a while, he continued to ask: "Your informant said that during the floods in the suburbs, some of the shipments from the Piao Gang were abnormal... some of the living people
Will the dead body be transported directly to the Siyuan Building?"
"Yes, there are both living and dead, as well as some other goods. But this has nothing to do with the 'Lost Country', probably. Because Ang Ze of the Jumu Consortium has been there for the past two days, falling with Xu Piao.
The one with the machine, I can confirm that there is also a military exoskeleton to control the scene.”
"What does the Jumu Consortium need these for? For experiments? Is it necessary?"
"This news was just sent yesterday, and we haven't screened it yet."
Jumu Consortium is an intelligent equipment production and processing enterprise authorized by the "Intelligent Management Center". Logically speaking, they have the least need to engage in "illegal transformation" and "illegal experiments". They can just follow the drawings given by the "Intelligent Management Center" and just start production.
.All "illegal" intelligent devices on the market are their mortal enemies... well, they are also free-range fat fish.
Even if you just want to expand upstream and downstream, you have to do experiments and live animals, and some of them are formal, well, it should be said to be mature methods...
"Did they have any business dealings with the Piao Gang before?"
"The Piao Gang shouldn't be able to join in."
"We need more detailed information."
"It's easy." Behind the round-framed glasses, Qu Wan blinked twice, "Why don't you go ask your office for a briefing? The person from the center of the district just happened to be here. It's so convenient for a fox to pretend to be a tiger!"
Lang Jin knew as soon as he heard that this was probably Mr. Mei's instruction, and he did not refuse. He only said: "This method is good, but if such a document is published, Mr. Tang will have to review and approve it. Also, Mr. Tang most likely does not want to let it go.
General Kang Heng stayed out of the matter, and this cannot be summed up by just saying 'ruling it out'."
Qu Cheng sighed again: "We can only say we try our best..."
Lang Jin was expressionless: "I think Mr. Tang will still trust your professional judgment. Besides, even if there is a problem with General Kang Heng, it will probably be a problem within the framework. There will naturally be a complete disposal process by then, and it has nothing to do with you and me.
.”
"Really? Is that what Mr. Tang thinks?" Qu Wan looked suspicious.
Rankin had a hard time answering.
Fortunately, someone knocked on the door and helped him out.
However, the visitor did not wait for him to speak, and pushed the door straight in. He was tall and strong, with a fierce face. He looked like the leader of a mixed society, more than the director of the high-energy center. The visitor was Ying Xiong from the Mobile No. 1 Department. Apart from this guy,
When it comes to funding, every penny has to be spent, and other things have always been carefree.
Lang Jin and Qu Cheng no longer talked about the previous topic. The former, still under Qu Cheng's gaze, put the documents back into the document bag and tied it up. During this period, he asked Ying Xiong casually: "Aren't you following that 'Wax Melt Demon'
?”
"Yes, I chased him all over the city. Mr. Ang asked for a trajectory map, but as a result, we were sneaking around and drawing circles around the city..."
"He has entered the city!" Lang Jin and Qu Cheng said in unison.
"Describe, describe!" Ying Xiong waved his hands quickly, but was discouraged again in the blink of an eye, "But with his ability, if he really wants to come in, even ordinary means can't stop him."
Lang Jin and Qu Cheng looked at each other, and Lang Jin still spoke: "Has your trajectory map been completed?"
"I just had the first draft, and I gave it to Lao Tie to refine it."
Lao Tie is Tie Ji, director of the Operations Office, who is Rankin's junior and successor.
Lang Jin asked curiously: "Then why are you here?"
"Chasing this guy will only cause greater damage to the equipment. President Ang said no matter what the cost, President Tang supports it, but now that someone from the regional center is here, I'm not allowed to come back to find out which way the wind is blowing?"
Qu Wan couldn't help but laugh on the sofa: "Who will care about you, you three melons and two jujubes?"
Rankin feels that there is a bit of unrest inside the High Energy Center.
There’s nothing else to blame but their new director himself. How could he be like this if he hadn’t offended the regional center before?
A vertical pipe unit like theirs could be at ease by being low-key, but how could they have expected that they would encounter someone like Tang Li who used excessive force when he came up?
Lang Jin had no choice but to tell the truth: "Mr. Tang is not here today. If he comes and is free, I will let you know."
As he spoke, he made two notes on the note paper, including Qu Cheng and Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong is still not satisfied: "There are so many restrictions, and it doesn't sound sincere at first glance..."
He wanted to say more, but at this time he received a communication. As soon as he got through, his face turned serious after hearing a few words: "Keep your distance. The first thing is to keep your distance. Don't irritate him. I'll be there right away."
……ah?"
Next, Ying Xiong was obviously a little confused. It took him two seconds to respond: "Then, keep in contact with him. Steady, steady him, I will report to the superiors immediately."
After hanging up the communication, he looked at Lang Jin and Qu Wan who were in the same room, opened his mouth, and smiled bitterly:
"The Waxmelt Demon is here."
…
"He wants to apply to be an 'informant'?"
As the person in charge of Mobile No. 1, Ang Tun gave priority to hearing the latest news. Of course, he wanted to discuss it with Tang Li immediately. But he couldn't get in touch with him, so he had to find Mei Zhu.
Mei Zhu also approached Tang Li immediately, but also received no response. After thinking about it for a long time, he first compiled and sent a message, and then reported the matter to the special correspondent of the regional center, Director Lu Yang.
Director Lu Yang, who had an elegant appearance and always looked calm, was obviously caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. He subconsciously repeated it, but he repeated it incorrectly.
"He wanted to apply for informant relative protection for his mother." Angtun corrected helplessly, "According to the tip, he does have a mother who is in the believer camp of the Lost Kingdom."
"The Lost Kingdom? What does it have to do with the Lost Kingdom?"
"Her mother is a believer in the 'Lost Country', a serious one, who worships every month. So this time there was a flood in the western suburbs, and her house was flooded. She had no supplies, so she ran to the believer camp... which is dedicated to sheltering believers' victims.
We also develop disaster victims as believers.”
Ang Tun briefly introduced the background, and then said: "But according to Dongfan himself, after he killed the thugs from the Piao Gang who surrounded him for the first time, he ran to pick up his mother and ran away together, but couldn't find anyone.
He was also decisive, immediately cutting off all contact with the outside world, and looking for an opportunity to assassinate Xu Piao, the leader of the Piao Gang. According to him, Xu Piao personally admitted before his death that he had a deep relationship with the "Lost Country" and even took the east banner.
His mother threatened him, but of course, it proved useless in the end, and Xu Piao still died.
"And Dongfan struggled for a few more days and finally found his mother. For his mother's personal safety, he also consulted a professional lawyer. Finally, he took the initiative to find us and claimed that he was resisting the intrusion of the Piao Gang and was not allowed to kill in self-defense. He was willing to surrender, but
We want us to give his mother the treatment of informant protection."
"Do you want to negotiate terms with us?" Lu Yang reacted, "They say they are surrendering, but in fact they are just waiting for a price... We can negotiate! The regional center has many similar experiences, but there are also lessons. This kind of
If things are done well, complex things can be simplified, which is a blessing in disguise; but if things are not done well, the situation may get out of hand. Fortunately, the director Bei Dangbei who came with me this time is a professional and has done many similar cases.
.”
Bei Dang, who was slightly chubby and half-bald, was sitting in Lu Yang's temporary office, nodding to the two deputy directors here.
Both Mei Zhu and Aung Tun knew that Director Bei was the head of the reconnaissance section of the Special Operations Office of the Regional Center and was indeed an expert.
With Lu Yang's endorsement, Bei Dang was not polite and asked directly: "Under what circumstances did Dongfan come into contact with us? Is there anyone else around? How many people know about this matter so far? Can it be kept secret... This
Very important."
Before the two deputy directors could speak, Lu Yang added: "That Dongfan, his value should not be that of a simple thug. Informants like him are needed in many places, especially his mother who is willing to...
Mother entrusted it to us."
There is no doubt that this is a grab for both credit and people.
I don't know how Tang Li would react here, but Mei Zhu and Ang Tun knew very well what attitude they, the deputies, should have towards the special commissioners of the regional center when Tang Li was not here.
Mei Zhu looked at Ang Tun, meaning to answer truthfully.
A smile appeared on the latter's fat face, and he was about to speak when the new communication was connected. He connected immediately, listened to a few words, his eyelids twitched, but he maintained his posture:
"You continue to maintain contact and keep records."
While speaking, he used extremely fast hand speed to edit a message and send it to Mei Zhu, even if it was a small move under the eyes of the special correspondent, he could not care less.
Mei Zhu glanced at it and immediately forwarded the information to Tang Li.
Lu Yang had known for a long time that they were making a little trick, so he asked in person: "Lao Mei, what's the new change?"
"Well, it's being verified over there."
He winked at Ang Tun again, who laughed and pretended to send a message: "I'll urge you again."
After almost three minutes, Mei Zhu sighed secretly when he saw that Tang Li still had not responded, and exchanged glances with Ang Tun again.
At this time, Ang Tun said to Lu Yang: "The latest news is that Dongfan reported the illegal human trafficking of the Piao Gang and pointed out the whereabouts of some of the trafficked people. During the flood, a considerable number of people were transferred to the ground floor of the Siyang Building.
Used for blood sacrifice experiments."
Lu Yang knew something about the situation and had a slight impression of the place name: "The Siyuan Building is... the headquarters of the Piao Gang?"
"Yes." Mei Zhu took over the conversation, "Dongfan said that the main users of this group of people, as well as some corpses, should be the Lost Kingdom...probably used for large-scale blood sacrifices and the like."
Ang Tun glanced at Mei Zhu, there was something on his lips, but he didn't say it out, and he didn't send any more messages.
Finally, the two of them came out of Lu Yang's temporary office, and Ang Tun followed directly into Mei Zhu's office: "Mr. Mei, isn't this right?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's normal for the Lost Kingdom to use the Piao Gang for human trafficking, but inside the Siyuan Building..."
Mei Zhu laughed: "Your family is in charge inside the Siyuan Building."
"Don't forget me, I was terrified when I heard that. He is the divisional security director of the Jumu Consortium, and it is not a problem for his subordinates to casually bring out the force of a group... I mean, this can't be called the 'Lost Country', right?
?”
"You also know that it is difficult to deal with a regiment's force, and the regional center knows better. That little brother Dongba probably knows it too. Therefore, it is safer for him to say it this way."
"You want us to trace the 'Jumu Consortium' from the 'Lost Country'? This guy is quite good at worrying about others." Ang Tun grinned, "If it is a big operation against three parties, if he doesn't care about the consequences, he is a
Is the unexpected access incision necessary?"
"Whether it's necessary or not, we can't decide, right?"
Mei Zhu started boiling water to make tea, nodded and then shook his head.
Well, that night, Tang Li asked Peng Yang about the "backstage of the Piao Gang", and his attitude was very subtle. Now when the special correspondent from the regional center came down, he suddenly couldn't find anyone. I'm afraid that guy Tang Li didn't know this, and then avoided it.
Already?
Is he also afraid of something?
Or do you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
