This man was tall and fat, and looked to be in his early forties. It was only a dozen steps from the elevator entrance to the sentry post, but he seemed to be running very hard. By the time he got in front of us, he was already covered in sweat.
.
He first said hello to the armed policeman at the guard post, then smiled at Lin Qianyi, and then looked at me from side to side, with an unpredictable expression on his face: "Not bad, young man."
You look quite strong, we in Corey need talents like you."
Lin Qianyi said from the side: "Gaoke, it has not been decided whether Si Jiu can join the bureau. Is Director Wang here today?"
"Yes! Of course I am." The tall fat man said with a smile, "Director Wang said early in the morning that after you and this young man arrive, you should go directly to the office to see him. In short, you should take this boy to the interview now.
"
Because Lin Qianyi had mentioned to me in advance that the director of the Investigation Division would personally be responsible for this interview, so I wasn't surprised to hear that the tall, fat man asked me to go to the director's office.
However, I am a little curious about the identity of the fat and tall man in front of me. Before coming to the 749th Bureau, I learned about the general influence of this mysterious department from Lin Qianyi. In my imagination, the 749th Bureau should be
In a powerful organization that gathers the best from across the country, everyone in it should be an elite like Lin Qianyi who can be both literary and military.
But the image of the fat and tall man in front of me is far from what I imagined as a member of the 749 Bureau. I heard Lin Qianyi call him "High-tech" before. Maybe this guy is the section chief of a certain department in the 749 Bureau? But
With his figure and physique that makes him sweat and pant even after walking a few steps, I think he is probably the section chief of a logistics department, right?
I was guessing his identity in my mind, but the fat man had already led Lin Qianyi into the elevator. Seeing me still stunned outside the elevator, the fat man said impatiently: "Lin Sijiu, right? Why are you still dawdling?"
I don’t know that you should never keep your boss waiting for a long time during the interview? In short, why don’t you catch up quickly?”
Seeing Lin Qianyi looking at me as if she was blaming her, I quickly apologized and trotted into the elevator.
However, within ten seconds after we entered the elevator, the elevator door opened again and stopped on the third floor of the building.
Outside an office not far from the elevator entrance, there is a sign for the Office of the Director of the Investigation Division.
I took a deep breath and was about to adjust my mood before the interview when I saw the tall, fat man walking carelessly in front of us. He opened the door and walked into the office without knocking.
Then, Fatty Gao's voice came from inside.
"Wang Chu, I brought him! We agreed this time that if that kid can come in, he must be sent to our department!"
Hey, isn't that guy the chief of the first section? Why did he go in even when he was asked to enter the division chief's office? He looks younger than me.
While wondering who the fat man was, Lin Qianyi and I had already walked into the director's office.
The next second I entered the office, I was stunned at the door, because sitting in the office was a middle-aged man who was even fatter than the tall fat man just now. The middle-aged man was sitting at the desk
Finally, he looked at us with a smile.
I looked at the middle-aged man, and then at the tall fat man sitting on the sofa, and I couldn't help but feel the desire to complain. What on earth is going on in this 749 game? How come one leader is fatter than the other? Or should I say?
, there is actually a curse here. As long as a man reaches the 749th round, he will gain weight day by day?
At this time, the tall fat man on the sofa spoke: "Director Wang, this is Lin Sijiu that Qianyi mentioned. Sijiu, this is Wang Jun, the director of the Investigation Division of our 749 Bureau. Our 749 Bureau does not have
The deputy director and chief bureau are concurrently held by 'that person', but it is only in name. In fact, it is a system of independent and hierarchical management of each department. Therefore, in the investigation department, it is Wang Chu who has the final say.
If we let you into the investigation office, no one will dare to say no."
After saying that, when he saw that I had no reaction at all, he said in a low voice with a straight face: "Sijiu, why don't you just say hello to Director Wang when you see him?"
"Haha, no, no need." Director Wang smiled, and then said: "Speaking of which, Sijiu is half of our family, so there is no need to see outsiders like that. Come, sit down and talk."
Perhaps because he is a bit fat, Director Wang’s voice is very magnetic, but he is a little breathless when speaking. But his character is quite good, because after I sat down, Director Wang took out something from the drawer.
A pack of cigarettes was placed in front of me.
"Sijiu, do you want to smoke? If you do, this cigarette will be given to you."
What kind of cigarette is this?
I glanced at it and saw a golden cigarette box. There was no pattern on it, only a line of eye-catching words "Yellow Crane Tower 1916". Oh my god! Isn't this the legendary Yellow Crane Tower that costs more than a thousand dollars a piece?
As soon as I reacted and before I could reach out for it, the cigarette was confiscated by Lin Qianyi.
"Alas! Sister Lin, this smoke..."
"What do children smoke? They are not allowed to smoke!"
Lin Qianyi looked at me angrily, stuffed my words back, then looked at Director Wang, slapped him hard on his desk, and said angrily: "Uncle Wang, don't do this again.
Smoking for Sijiu. You should also smoke less for me. You can still smoke even if you can't breathe! Also, can Sijiu make it to the 749th round? Please give me a sure word as soon as possible!"
Director Wang chuckled, put the box of cigarettes he was going to give me back on the table, coughed a few more times, and got to the point: "In that case, let's not talk nonsense. I have already investigated Lin Sijiu's life experience.
After that, ten years ago, he was indeed adopted by a man named Lin Aiguo. According to the bureau's files, Lin Aiguo did perform a mission for one year in the hometown of Sijiu."
Lin Qianyi nodded and said: "Since there is no problem with Sijiu's life experience, then please ask Director Wang to approve his entry into Bureau 749! My father originally left Sijiu the address of our unit, so I'm afraid he also had this idea."
"Of course, based on the past friendship between me and Lao Lin, there is no problem with this. It just so happens that our investigation department is also short of manpower right now."
When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat. It turned out that Director Wang in front of me actually knew my father. According to what he just said, it seemed that he and my father had a good relationship in the past.
At this time, Director Wang said again: "But before I approve his entry, I have one more question..."
Director Wang's smiling eyes made me feel vaguely uneasy.
"I don't understand. Why did Lin Aiguo suddenly decide to adopt you, Lin Sijiu, when he was clearly on a mission? I know that Lao Lin always concentrates on his mission and rarely has any extraneous matters. So.
With his character and work experience, it’s hard for me to believe that he adopted you just to cover his identity.”
He continued: "One more thing. When the bureau was investigating your identity, they heard some interesting news... It is said that Xiaolin, before you were ten years old, your right eye was always red, right?"
I was dumbfounded by what Director Wang said. It had only been a few days since Lin Qianyi decided to bring me to Bureau 749. How come they had already heard about my eyes? Did they already know my abilities?
I turned to look at Lin Qianyi, wanting to seek help from her.
Sure enough, Lin Qianyi listened and became anxious, but as soon as she stood up and wanted to explain to me, she was pushed down on her seat by the tall fat man beside her.
"Xiao Lin, don't disturb Director Wang."
Director Wang seemed to be very satisfied with my and Lin Qianyi's reactions. He smiled and said: "Hey, it seems that Xiao Lin already knows about this matter? In that case, Sijiu, can you explain it to me and Gaoke right here?
, what’s going on with your eyes?”
It's over, I feel a little hopeless. It seems that even Lin Qianyi herself underestimated the intelligence capabilities of Bureau 749. Originally, she wanted to help me cover up her abilities, but who would have expected that Director Wang and the others would have already
I figured it out.
Director Wang saw the surprise on my face, smiled and said, "Aren't you going to confess yet? Did Xiao Lin tell you that if you confess your abilities, we will imprison you?"
"Huh?" I froze and didn't understand what he meant. Director Wang continued: "Both you and Xiao Lin are overthinking. Bureau 749 is no longer like it was before. At that time, we lacked the means to control ability users. We only
We can take some drastic measures. But now, our attitude towards ability users has been much more relaxed. In addition, you originally planned to join Bureau 749. As long as your abilities are not completely uncontrollable, we will not control you."
Is this really the case? I looked at Lin Qianyi, wanting to see in her eyes whether she knew whether Director Wang's words were true or false, but in the end, what I saw in her eyes was the same confusion as mine.
.
"You don't have to look at her." Director Wang smiled, "Xiao Lin will let you hide your abilities. In fact, she has her own reasons, and it's all because of her..."
Lin Qianyi suddenly stood up and interrupted: "Director Wang, there is no need to talk about my affairs. Since you have said so, then Sijiu, just tell Wang Chu and the others."
I looked at Lin Qianyi and felt that she seemed to be hiding something. It was like this on the plane before, and it is still like this now. There seems to be some reason why Lin Qianyi feels that it is very dangerous to disclose her abilities to Bureau 749.
things.
What made her think this way?
Although I really wanted to know the reason, I also knew that now was not the time. I gritted my teeth and told everything about my eyes.
Director Wang's reaction was indeed a bit beyond Lin Qianyi's expectations. After hearing this, he just smiled.
"That's it? Tell me, can I use it and hide it? Not only is this ability not harmful, but it is very suitable for the work of Bureau 749? What do you think, Lao Gao?"
Fatty Gao also nodded and said: "Yes, yes. Fortunately, Lao Wang, you saw through Xiaolin's tricks, otherwise we would have lost an efficient way to solve the case. Sijiu's ability is simply used to investigate incidents.
It’s just like cheating.”
I said awkwardly: "It's not that magical. Although I can see the past of things I touch, I can't control what I see. And my father has sealed my ability in the past, so I can't now
Controlling yourself to keep your abilities open at all times is a bit like sometimes working but sometimes not working."
"seal?"
Director Wang suddenly pricked up his ears: "You mean Lin Aiguo sealed your ability? How did he do it?"
I scratched my head and couldn't remember. Because at that time, my father did it while I was sleeping. It wasn't until I woke up the next morning that he told me that my ability had been sealed.
"Is that so..." Director Wang and the tall fat man looked at each other with a hint of amusement in their eyes.
But not long after, they smiled and returned to the topic.
Director Wang said in an official tone: "Comrade Lin Sijiu, we already know about your situation. Let's announce the interview results now."
When Director Wang said this, he paused for a moment, and my heart skipped a beat.
"Both your abilities and your background are very much in line with the needs of our bureau. I believe that you will have good development in the 749 Bureau. Now, on behalf of the 749 Bureau Investigation Division, I have made a decision to recruit Lin
Comrade 49 joined the Investigation Division and became our glorious investigator of the 749 Bureau Investigation Division."
"Your job will be assigned to Section 3 of the Investigation Department, here." He pointed at Fatty Gao, "This is the Section Chief of Section 3 of your Investigation Section, your future immediate boss, Section Chief Gao Liang.
Okay, that's it for today. Gao Liang, take them back."
