When Gao Liang answered the phone call, Lin Qianyi and I were welcoming our new colleague, Zhang Mo, to join us. He is said to be a new colleague, but in a strict sense, Zhang Mo should be my senior.
Although he has resigned for more than a year, Zhang Mo's desk in the third department and his dormitory on the seventh floor are still reserved for him. Therefore, the entire welcome process was extremely brief. Lin Qianyi first took Zhang Mo back to the dormitory to relax.
After unloading his luggage, he led him back to the office and said hello to me.
Since the conversation in the hotel that day, Zhang Mo's attitude towards me seems to have changed slightly. At least he can communicate with me normally. I don't know if he feels that he has defeated me in some way, so he treats me like this.
Facing each other, Zhang Mo stretched out his right hand: "Lin Sijiu, please introduce yourself again. I'm Zhang Mo. Please take care of me in the future."
"Welcome, welcome, each other, each other..." I gently held his finger and shook it a few times quickly, which was considered a greeting. Although I said so, in my heart, I was actually not very happy to see him.
With the arrival of Zhang Mo, I really can't like this man who is extremely obsessed with Lin Qianyi no matter what.
When Zhang Mo and I were staring at each other with big eyes, Gao Liang broke into the office. When he saw the three of us, he immediately said: "Great, you three are here, come here, I have something important."
things to say.”
After listening to the command highlighted, I almost thought I heard it wrong. Although Lin Qianyi and I's trip to Hong Kong was not too dangerous, it was also extremely hard. But who would have thought that we had just returned to the East China Sea.
You haven't even warmed up your butt yet, yet you are being driven to the capital again?
I looked at Gao Liang and said, "Section Chief Gao, I've just put on my bow. What's so urgent about it?"
Gao Liang looked at me and said: "Do you remember the Class A incident I mentioned to you in Hong Kong? That incident has now reached a deadlock, and Lao Wang wants to add more people to help."
"Class A incident? Chief Gao, are you sure you are talking about a Class A incident?" Among the four people present, only Zhang Mo knew nothing about what happened in the capital, but he had worked in the Investigation Division after all.
After a while, I naturally knew what the Class A incident meant to us, and immediately asked.
However, Gao Liang had no intention of explaining. He glanced at Zhang Mo and said, "Xiao Zhang, you don't have to worry about this incident."
"Huh? Why?" Zhang Mo was a little surprised. He didn't seem to expect that he would be excluded from the first case he encountered just after returning to the bureau.
I somewhat understand what Gao Liang means. According to his previous description, this incident seems to be related to intelligence, and it is likely to involve state secrets, because the units involved, in addition to our 749th Bureau, there are also people like
Institutions such as the National Security Bureau and the General Staff. People like Zhang Mo, who just visited Taiwan a year ago, even if he is an old man in the bureau, but in the eyes of outsiders, his identity may be a bit sensitive, and it is indeed inappropriate to be involved.
At this time, Gao Liang had already handed a thick stack of files to Zhang Mo: "Xiao Zhang, these are the cases accumulated by the investigation department after Wang Yangming and others died. They are all cases of suspected supernatural incidents.
Just take a look at it in the next few days and pick one to deal with first."
Zhang Mo looked at the file in his hand and wanted to argue a few words, but Gao Liang said firmly: "No need to say anymore, this is what Wang Jun meant. Xiao Lin and I have to hurry up, so we have to take the first step. Here
I’ll leave the rest of the matter to you, and when we come back, we’ll hold a feast for you.”
Seeing Gao Liang's determined look, Zhang Mo had nothing to say and could only take the file and leave the office. The three of us went back to tidy up before going straight to the airport.
Different from the trip to Hong Kong, this time because of the tight rush in the capital, even though there were only three of us, Gao Liang still drove the car to a combat readiness airport of the Air Force of a certain military region in the suburbs, where Wang Jun arranged
A recycling transport plane that was performing maintenance tasks was waiting there, specially prepared to take us to the capital.
On the plane, I asked Gao Liang what the incident was like. According to the common sense I learned from the bureau, the 749 Bureau always works alone when handling cases.
The identity of the department, apart from mobilizing manpower and borrowing resources, rarely joins hands with other departments like this time. In this case, why in this incident, in addition to our 749 Bureau, even the National Security and General Staff were involved?
?
Facing my question, Gao Liang's answer made me very disappointed. It turned out that he himself knew little about the affairs in the capital until now. In addition to knowing that this incident was very involved and was personally designated as a Class A incident by the chief,
There is no more specific information. It seems that everything can only be known when we get to the capital.
Two hours later, the plane carrying only three of us passengers landed quietly at a military airport outside Beijing in the dark.
It was already snowing in Beijing in November. When I opened the cabin door, I felt a chill and couldn't help but sneeze.
The three of us got off the plane, but there was no one around to pick us up. On a winter night, the three of us stood on the edge of the airport runway, shivering from the cold. Gao Liang couldn't bear the cold, so he wanted to make a phone call.
What's going on? There was a bright light in the distance, which made us squint. When we took a closer look, it turned out that it was a high-end commercial vehicle with military license plates that drove directly onto the runway and stopped in front of us.
Surprisingly, Wang Jun walked out of the car. I didn’t expect that he would come to greet us in person. In addition to him, a man in military uniform walked out from the driver’s seat. He was fair and clean and looked very gentle.
, was also very young, probably only in his 20s. At first I thought he was an orderly, but when he walked in, I found that there was a lieutenant colonel's military rank badge hanging on his shoulder.
A lieutenant colonel cannot be an orderly, right?
Qianyi and I were guessing his identity, but Gao Liang had already gone up to meet him. Seeing Wang Jun getting out of the car, he seemed a little surprised: "Old Wang? The sun has come out in the west, and you actually picked it up in person.
us?"
"The place where you are staying is too stuffy. Come out and get some air. Sijiu, please bring all your luggage up quickly."
I responded and immediately walked up carrying the luggage of three people. The young lieutenant colonel also helped me while moving the luggage.
After the luggage was moved, the lieutenant colonel closed the trunk lid, turned around, stretched out his right hand to me and said, "Let me meet you. My name is Lin Hongqi, from the Second Department of the General Staff."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Lin Sijiu, 7..." I smiled and stretched out my hand to shake it. I wanted to introduce myself like him, but before I wanted to report my department,
Thinking of the bureau's confidentiality regulations, the word "7" got stuck in my throat.
Just when I wanted to stutter and kept repeating the word "seven", Wang Jun helped me out: "Okay, Hongqi knows your identities and the existence of Bureau 749. There is nothing to hide from him here.
."
I breathed a long sigh of relief and continued to introduce: "Lin Sijiu, from the Investigation Division of the 749 Bureau."
Lin Hongqi also smiled brightly: "We all have the surname Lin. Maybe we were a family five hundred years ago."
Wang Jun also smiled and said: "It is indeed a coincidence. There are five people here, and three of them are named Lin." After saying that, he introduced Lin Qianyi to Lin Hongqi.
When Lin Hongqi saw Lin Qianyi, I could see that his eyes suddenly straightened, and his eyes were completely filled with Lin Qianyi's beautiful figure.
His reaction was like losing his soul, which made Wang Jun and Gao Liang chuckle knowingly.
It took a long time before Lin Hongqi recovered from the surprise and wanted to shake Lin Qianyi's hand.
But Lin Qianyi raised her right hand and saluted Lin Hongqi with a military salute: "Lin Qianyi, also from the Investigation Division of Bureau 749."
Lin Hongqi then remembered the etiquette of meeting and quickly saluted her with a military salute.
Wang Jun looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Hongqi, there is a fat guy here named Gao Liang, who is the section chief of the third section."
Hearing this, Lin Hongqi also immediately saluted Gao Liang.
After everyone got to know each other, Wang Jun looked at his watch and said to us: "Okay, now that everyone has gotten to know each other, let's get in the car and get ready to go, but before that, I want to remind you three.
This operation is no different than before. In addition to people in our bureau, you will also act together with many colleagues like Hongqi who are in other departments. To be honest, those who are qualified to participate in this investigation will not be able to participate in this investigation.
They are only responsible for logistics work, and they must be from a confidential unit, so the three of you should not inquire about each other's identities and experiences if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, to put it mildly, it will have a bad influence, without organization and discipline, and to put it worst, others will think that
You are prying into secrets!"
The three of us responded and got into the car. Lin Hongqi stepped on the accelerator, and the commercial car started to drive slowly, then left the airport and drove to the west of Wangjing City.
