This meeting was held in the conference room on the third floor. It was called a conference room, but it was actually a conference hall. There was a huge round table inside, with neatly placed plastic single chairs on both sides.
There are more than a hundred chairs crowded here, but it still feels a little loose.
When we entered the conference hall, we found that someone was already inside. Fang Jian, the chief of the second section, was taking several of his staff to play with a plasma TV, which was the most popular at the time, in the conference hall.
Seeing the three of us coming in, Fang Jian waved to us with a smile and said, "Fatty Gao!"
"Boss Fang!"
"When did you come? I just heard that you were in trouble in Hong Kong. I thought you would come later. Why did you come so soon?"
"Of course it has been solved. I received the call yesterday and arrived here this evening."
Gao Liang replied with a smile. It seems that after the incident with the ancient mirror last time, the relationship between the two guys who dislike each other has become much better. Otherwise, it would have been when we had just arrived.
During that time in Bacheng, it was absolutely impossible for Gao Liang and Fang Jian to have such smiles on their faces when they were talking.
While the two of them were chatting, Lin Qianyi and I were gathered around the TV, watching several people from the second department connecting the signal cables to the TV and adjusting the channel.
After watching them busy for a long time, I couldn't help but ask: "Chief Fang, what is this TV used for?"
Fang Jian turned to look at me, smiled, and said, "Sijiu, aren't you asking in vain? We brought the TV here not just for watching TV, but for decoration?"
"Watching TV?" I asked curiously, "Aren't we going to have a meeting later? Why are we watching TV?"
"This..." Fang Jian glanced at Gao Liang intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter turned back to me and said: "Si Jiu, control your curiosity, what is going on, we will know in a while. You too
Don’t keep asking questions that can easily lead to violations of discipline.”
"I'm sorry!" I suddenly realized that the question I just asked may have involved the secrets of this operation team, and I apologized quickly.
Fang Jian waved his hand and asked us to find a place to sit first and talk later after they were done.
"Okay, you guys get busy first." Gao Liang said goodbye to him, then led us around the conference hall, and finally aimed at the central round table and sat down.
"Alas, alas!" Fang Jian suddenly shouted from the other side: "Fat Gao, that's not the place for you to sit. You should sit there..." He pointed to the plastic single chairs around the round table.
Gao Liang suddenly became unhappy: "Why? I am also a section chief, right? Can't we just leave a few chief seats for Lao Wang and the others?"
Fang Jian spread his hands helplessly and said: "If it doesn't work, it won't work. Those are the seats for the three team leaders and the core team members. We can only be regarded as peripheral team members and can only sit outside."
"What, what? Is there any difference?" Gao Liang said dissatisfied.
At this moment, the door of the conference hall was opened again, and a large force of the investigation team came in from the outside. Seeing this, Gao Liang quickly led us to sit in a good seat. After the scene was chaotic for a while, three groups of people came
After everyone took their seats, the conference hall became a little quieter.
After everyone was seated, I noticed an interesting phenomenon.
In the conference hall, three group members from different departments were clearly divided into three camps. People from the three groups gathered together, and you would never see people from one group sitting in groups two or three.
The same is true for other groups. There is a sense of isolation between each group. This makes me feel a little strange.
Before he had time to think about it, Fang Jian came over with someone and sat down next to Gao Liang. It turned out that they had finished their work. After sitting down, Fang Jian began to explain the core team members and peripheral team members to Gao Liang.
difference.
It turns out that in addition to the three groups of the investigation team, there is also a core group composed of elites drawn from the three groups on top of the three groups. Apart from the three group leaders, there are not many group members.
, there are only seven people. But everyone inside has the highest confidentiality authority in the entire team, and has the right to view the letter from "Tang Sanzang".
The seven of them are the real main force in tracing the whereabouts of "Tang Sanzang" this time. In comparison, we are just ordinary peripheral team members. When we have trouble, we go out to do coolies, and when we have nothing, we stay at this base.
Li is responsible for logistics and cleaning.
"Is there such a thing?" Gao Liang crossed his arms and asked, "Then how come you didn't become a member of this core team? I know your ability. Although it is not as good as mine, it is better than those frizzy boys.
Much stronger."
Fang Jian ignored the second half of his sentence and replied: "Don't ask me about this. If you want to ask, ask Lao Wang."
While listening to the two of them chatting, I looked around. Perhaps because I moved a little too loudly, Lin Qianyi next to me patted me on the shoulder and asked: "Sijiu, what are you looking at?"
"Sister Lin, why didn't I see the three fat men?"
"Oh, Zhu Dingtian?" Fang Jian suddenly interrupted, "He is from the core group."
Me, Lin Qianyi and Gao Liang suddenly opened their mouths.
After more than ten minutes, the door of the conference hall was opened again. Immediately afterwards, Wang Jun and two other middle-aged men were seen walking into the conference hall. Of the two people beside Wang Jun, one was wearing a military uniform.
, one is wearing a police uniform. Judging from their epaulettes, they are probably Director Li from the Ministry of National Security and Director Lu from the Second Department of the General Staff. According to Fang Jian’s introduction just now, the two of them are from Group 1 and Group 2.
Team leader.
Behind the three of them, the legendary core group of seven people followed closely. One of the seven people was the three fat men mentioned by Fang Jian just now, who had already joined the core group!
After the third fat man entered the conference room, he immediately noticed us sitting in the front row. His eyes fell on me and he immediately puffed up his chest with a look of pride on his face. It made me want to vomit. Fang Jian just told us
, this kid was named by Wang Jun to join the core group because of his unrivaled computer skills. No wonder he is acting so awesome in front of us now.
In addition to the three fat men, there is another person in the core group whom we know. Lin Hongqi, who used to drive for Wang Jun and made me almost mistake him for an orderly, Lieutenant Colonel Lin, are also among the seven people in the core group.
among the list.
After the three team leaders and seven core group members took their seats, Wang Jun pulled the microphone in front of him, cleared his throat, and began to preside over the meeting: "Okay, let's get started. This time, all members of the investigation team were specially summoned to hold this meeting.
, there is an important thing to announce. As everyone knows, through our previous efforts, the team has received the second letter from Tang Sanzang for the country, and obtained important information about the future of the world. Limited to the confidentiality agreement, the details of the letter
The content could not be made public originally. However, considering that in Tang Sanzang's letter this time, there is a prophecy that will be fulfilled today. In order to facilitate everyone's future work, after discussion and decision by superiors, we will now make this prophecy available to everyone.
Everyone is open to the public. Okay, please listen carefully."
Everyone sat up straight and raised their ears.
"On December 26, that is, at 9 a.m. today, at 8 a.m. local time, a huge earthquake with a magnitude of 9.3 on the Richter scale will occur in the Andaman Sea north of Sumatra, Indonesia! This is the world record since 1900.
The second largest earthquake in the world. The earthquake will trigger a huge tsunami, affecting countries as far away as Oman in the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Mauritius, Reunion and other countries on the east coast of Africa. It will cause at least 220,000 deaths and losses.
A tragedy of more than 13 billion US dollars! It is the deadliest tsunami disaster in the world in the past 200 years!"
brush!
When Wang Jun's words paused, everyone with watches on their hands raised their hands in unison.
I also raised my left hand and looked at my watch. At 8:50, there were only the last ten minutes left before the earthquake occurred!
