Two years ago, for the huge Youzhou, this was completely a dispensable place.
For two years, this place has been an extremely embarrassing place.
And today, two years later, this place has become a place that has almost been completely forgotten.
The place at No. 16 Qingming Hutong is not small.
A courtyard house, although a bit old, has a decent environment. In Youzhou, where the pace of life is so fast and dizzying, the nearby area can be regarded as a place to spend a leisurely life.
An area to spend leisurely time.
A group of people who don’t want to hang around and wait to die.
So the atmosphere in the courtyard has always been weird.
The falling snow dyed the courtyard and walls of the courtyard white. There was a deck chair in front of the foyer of the courtyard.
Liu Qing was lying on the recliner, watching the snowflakes falling slowly on his body, his eyes numb, like a salted fish without dreams.
There are people busy in every room in the courtyard.
Search information, compare files, and analyze intelligence.
It looks like a busy scene.
But actually everyone is a little absent-minded.
A middle-aged man next to Liu Qing was squatting and smoking. The tobacco fell on the snow with the hot breath from his mouth. The middle-aged man shook his head, with a depressed and melancholy look on his face.
"Who are we now?"
Liu Qing looked at Xuehua and suddenly laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
What the middle-aged man who looked extremely depressed said was even more depressing: "The task force..."
"Yeah, task force."
Liu Qing nodded, with a strange smile: "You have a high position and great responsibilities. The task force sounds very scary, but what can we investigate? The information in our hands has been torn apart. Apart from the information, we
There is nothing. The key is that our case has made no progress, but the parties involved in the case have arrived in Youzhou in a big way. What is the meaning of our so-called task force?"
"investigation."
The middle-aged man said dullly, his tone so straightforward that it made people burst into tears.
Liu Qing seemed to have gotten used to the other party's temper. He shook his head and suddenly said: "I want to leave here, leave this ghost place. Now in the eyes of Youzhou, our so-called task force is a joke."
"We were a joke."
The middle-aged man sighed, finished smoking a cigarette, and lit another.
Liu Qing said nothing, as if he had nothing to say to the people around him.
The task force has been established for two years.
He is the third task force leader.
This task force, which was sensational at the time because of its high standards, has become increasingly inconspicuous after three consecutive personnel changes.
The first task force leader was Ye Dongsheng.
Member level.
The second leader of the task force is Fan Tianyin, director of the Zhongzhou Security Department, with the rank of governor.
Liu Qing is the third team leader. Before becoming the team leader, he was the Secretary-General of the Military Secretariat Office.
Lieutenant Governor level.
This position can be said to be a direct descendant of the special operations group.
It is also the result of the struggle between the Prince Group and the Special Operations Group, in order to control the leadership of the task force.
And there is only one thing they want to investigate.
That is to investigate whether the Qi Mulin family, which was exterminated by Li Tianlan, was treasonous and colluded with the Burning Legion.
After Liu Qing became the leader of the task force, his only job was to prove that Qi Mulin had nothing to do with the Burning Legion.
As long as he can prove this, then it was a serious crime for Li Tianlan to kill the entire Qi family. Regardless of Li Tianlan's fate, at least he would have to stay in the desert prison for a few more years.
No one can find evidence that Qi Mulin colluded with the Burning Legion.
But no one could find evidence to prove Qi Mulin's innocence.
This so-called task force had no investigative direction from the beginning.
Moreover, neither Ye Dongsheng nor Fan Tianyin paid much attention to this matter. The matter dragged on for almost two years. When Liu Qing came over, even if there was any evidence before, it was all wiped out quietly.
.
This position is like a quagmire. Liu Qing was trapped in it on the first day he took office. The entire case has not made any progress since he became the team leader.
Liu Qing often felt that he was a joke and the task force was also a joke.
They were conducting so-called investigations every day. Day after day, Liu Qing himself didn't even know whether the task force was conducting a serious investigation or just pretending.
And now.
The task force has not been disbanded.
There are no clear conclusions.
However, Li Tianlan came directly from the desert to Youyouzhou.
It hasn't been long since he arrived in Youzhou, but until now, no one in Central Continent has raised any significance to this.
The existence of the task force seemed to have been completely forgotten.
Liu Qing felt as if he had really become a joke.
He couldn't find any evidence, and he didn't know how long he would have to suffer in this courtyard.
He was lying on the recliner, looking at the snowflakes in the sky, his eyes a little numb and asked: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Instant noodles?"
The middle-aged man smoking next to him looked decadent.
He is different from Liu Qing.
Liu Qing serves as the leader of the task force, and the special warfare group has high hopes for him, hoping that he can find some evidence that can directly hit Li Tianlan.
He has a heavy burden on his shoulders.
But with the departure of Ye Dongsheng and Chen Fangqing, more and more people don't take the task force seriously. Now the people transferred in are basically players who have failed in various units.
The middle-aged man's name is Li Liang. Before he came to the task force, he was the deputy director of a certain department of the police department. He was punished when he came, and the same was generally true for the others.
For them, whether they are in the original unit or the task force, it is a joke, and it doesn't matter where they are.
“Let’s have hot pot.”
Liu Qing felt the coldness in the air, and his heart felt cold. He was from Southwest City, and he missed the hot pot in his hometown.
"your treat?"
Li Liang raised his head and glanced at him: "Would you like something to drink at noon?"
Liu Qing looked a little angry. After being silent for a while, he said hoarsely: "Then let's eat instant noodles."
"The team leader is right, just have hot pot and I'll treat you."
A hearty laugh suddenly rang out.
A strong and burly figure walked into the door with a loud voice.
Liu Qing's eyes narrowed and he said calmly: "Guo Chu is in a good mood."
Guo Yu, director of a certain section of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, and first deputy leader of the task force.
With the General Staff being monolithically managed by Ye Dongsheng, Guo Yu can be said to be Ye Dongsheng's direct confidant. He was not squeezed out as deputy leader of the task force, but was here in name only. He rarely appears on weekdays. In other words
By the way, he still works at the General Staff, as deputy team leader, part-time.
And Liu Qing...
There are no part-time jobs.
"Yeah, I'm in a good mood."
Guo Yu glanced at Liu Qing with a smile.
Seeing his expression that resembled that of a salted fish, Guo Yu's eyes showed some pity.
He shook the portfolio in his hand and gave Liu Qing a sympathetic look.
The team leader still doesn't know what the file bag in his hand means.
"Don't be in a hurry while eating. Team leader, I have something important to report to you."
Guo Yu stopped his smile and said with a serious face.
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously sat up straight.
"Is there any progress in the case?!"
"Yes."
Guo Yu ordered
Nodding: "The General Staff has received some information, and there has been a major breakthrough in the case."
He handed the file bag in his hand to Liu Qing and looked at him with increasingly pitiful eyes.
Liu Qing's hands and feet were cold, and as a result, the hands holding the portfolio trembled a little.
He didn't know what this so-called major breakthrough was.
But the breakthrough from the General Staff made Guo Yu so happy. There is no doubt that this clue is beneficial to the Beihai Wang family, or to Li Tianlan.
And the people behind him definitely don't want to see this result.
Liu Qing took the file bag and didn't dare to open it for a while.
Liu Qing looked at him silently.
Look at his slightly trembling palms holding the portfolio.
Liu Qing lowered his head and opened the file bag bit by bit.
Until this moment, he didn't know that maybe his hands would completely change the current situation in Central Continent.
The portfolio was opened bit by bit.
A confession that had obviously just been recorded appeared in front of Liu Qing.
The content of the confession is very long.
Several pages are densely written.
In addition to the oral confession, there are also several photos.
And a small recording device.
Liu Qing took deep breaths and flipped through the confession in front of him.
The photos were mixed among the papers and appeared in front of him when he was reading the confession.
The photo shows a middle-aged man.
Sitting in front of the middle-aged man was a dignified old man.
Liu Qing's heart beat suddenly.
The huge pressure made him suffocate for a while.
He stared at the photo in front of him, seemingly in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Who is this?"
Guo Yu knew what he was asking.
There are two people in the photo, one of whom does not need to be asked, but the other needs his explanation.
He smiled and said in a strong voice: "This person's code name is Black Hawk. He is a senior staff officer of the Burning Legion and a confidant of Legion Commander Lamiron. It can be said that he is one of the core strategists of the Burning Legion. It is clearly written in the confession that he was originally
He is from Zhongzhou, so after the Burning Legion took root in Tiannan, this person was responsible for all the actions of the Burning Legion in Central Continent."
Guo Yu's voice was like thunder, rumbling in Liu Qing's ears: "In other words, he is the main person in charge of everything the Burning Legion does in Central Continent."
"Crack!"
The wooden lounge chair suddenly shattered.
Liu Qing suddenly stood up and stared at Guo Yu.
His expression was a little frightened, but more incredulous: "You...you..."
He kept taking deep breaths, and finally roared loudly: "How dare you!"
"This is a fact."
Guo Yu looked at him and said calmly: "The evidence is all in your hands."
The photo slipped down with Liu Qing's trembling palms and fell on the snow.
Li Liang, who was squatting and smoking, glanced at it and subconsciously cut off the cigarette between his fingers.
Liu Qing took a big breath and was speechless for a while.
After setting up a special task force for two years, he never dreamed that there would be such a so-called evidence.
Confirmed Qi Mulin's treason?
Liu Qing laughed, laughing with great fear.
He found that what he thought was still too simple.
In the photo, the man codenamed Black Hawk facing him was not Qi Mulin at all.
Rather, he is the top leader of the special operations group who is now behind the scenes.
Qi Beicang, former director of Zhongzhou and executive minister of the military department!
If this so-called evidence spreads, it will be a violent storm that can sweep across the entire Central Continent.
"you..."
Liu Qing's voice was hoarse: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Guo Yu bent down and picked up the photo, and said calmly: "I'm just fulfilling my duties as a member of the task force."
