Spy Family

Mao Kongshan's house is more messy than before. The Jiazixing "cultural relics" he has worked so hard to collect are just garbage in the eyes of others. There wasn't even room to hide a ring.

Mao Kongshan was lying on the ground, with a pool of blood underneath him. Like the scattered collections around him, there was no business at all.

Lu Linbei stood two meters away and watched for a while, then turned and walked out of the crowded house. In addition to the debris, there were several temporary police officers standing everywhere, as if they were investigating clues or supervising each other.

The police officer from Zhai Wangxing, surnamed Meng, is an experienced veteran policeman who knows Lin Mo deeply. He was officially assigned to come to Jiazixing and joined the order maintenance team for only half a month.

"It's really a headache." Police Officer Meng followed out and chatted in a low voice with Lu Linbei to a place where no one was around, "It's really frustrating that he is a resident of our Zhaiwang planet, he is an expert, and he is a member of the Mao family. People have headaches.”

"I recognize this Professor Mao. His relationship with the family is not close and he has very few contacts."

"Well, we had very little contact when we were alive, but things changed after we were killed. All families are the same. They want face at all costs - I mean especially face, not 'die'... You are not a member of a certain family, are you?"

"I am an interstellar orphan."

Officer Meng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I have lived in vain for more than thirty years and still can't speak. I understand that trouble comes from the mouth, but I just can't control my bad mouth, so I was sent to this hellish place. "

Night had just fallen, and the houses in Shouluo District were crowded with many people living there, but it was the only area that was relatively quiet after dark.

Officer Meng looked around, "Who would kill a historian? I really don't understand."

"The murderer seems to be looking for something."

"It's probably a valuable thing. Logically speaking, a historian wouldn't be a rich person, but Professor Mao was one of the first experts to come to Jiazi Planet. It is said that he has a very good relationship with the fusion people. He might have gotten it. A valuable gift. Just like the plot in the movie, primitive people don’t know the value of gems, experts don’t care, and as a result, they are noticed by bad guys with ulterior motives..."

Before a specific investigation was launched, Officer Meng had already relied on his imagination to "solve the case". He knew that this was nonsense, so he stopped in time and said with a smile: "It would be so simple. Oh, it gives me a headache, it really makes me a headache."

"Police Officer Meng will be in charge of this case, right?"

"It's not just me. I can't push him away. Who made the deceased a resident of Zhaiwang? It would have been much easier if Professor Mao had applied for the status of a fused person, but he didn't. He came to Jiazixing so early and had such a good relationship with the indigenous people. , he didn’t even apply for settlement. Instead, those who came later applied online before they even bought the ferry tickets, and they didn’t know what they were trying to do. Alas.”

Officer Meng sighed frequently, and it seemed that he really didn't want to take this case.

"No matter what, let's find the murderer first."

"It's hard to find the murderer, but we're not helpless. What's difficult is what to do after we find him. Is there anything from the embassy?"

Lu Linbei shook his head, "Not yet. Just go find the murderer. Once you find it, the ambassador will come forward."

"Of course, the ambassador must come forward. If it involves an interstellar dispute, I cannot bear the responsibility. Alas, it would be great if the ambassador could give a little hint in advance."

"No hint is just a hint, which means the ambassador hopes to solve the case as soon as possible." Lu Linbei had to use a positive tone to give the other party a little confidence.

"Adjutant Lu is right, okay, let's find the murderer first. Does Adjutant Lu want to get involved?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will visit Officer Meng."

"Okay, if I am away for something, I will contact you in advance."

"good."

Officer Meng finally walked away and went to perform his police duties.

If the quality of those who voluntarily apply to come to Jiazixing is uneven, those who are sent to hold public offices generally have low quality. Most of them have no enthusiasm for work. They regard this trip as an exile and their only wish is to go quickly. Finish.

Officer Meng looked like the same person. Before he started working, he was first thinking about how to shirk responsibility.

Lu Linbei returned to the house, looked at the body on the ground for a while, and silently said goodbye to Mao Kongshan in a private capacity.

Back at the embassy, ​​the two subordinates were still there, sitting quietly on each side of the sofa.

The logistics clerk had already gotten off work. Gui Shangbai went out to buy a bottle of wine at some point. He drank it directly without using a cup. His expression was more normal than when he didn't drink at all. Fang Feihan stared at Gui Shangbai with interest, as if he was waiting. When he drinks to a certain level, he can explode like a firework.

When their boss came in, neither of them got up. The one who was drinking continued drinking, while the one who was staring changed his gaze, changed his target and continued to stare.

"'The first accidental death of immigrants in Jiazixing', this is the headline on the Internet." Fang Feihan seemed very happy, "The embassy must have mediated the incident and did not let the police say too much."

"Yes." Lu Linbei squeezed behind the desk and sat down, and began to tidy up the desktop.

As long as Gui Shangbai has wine in his hand, he can be aloof. Fang Feihan was as anxious as usual. He got up from the sofa and walked to the desk, pressing his hands on the table, "What are the instructions from above?"

"There is no instruction. This is a criminal case and is under the jurisdiction of the order maintenance team. We do not need to intervene for the time being."

"This is no ordinary criminal case. The victim, Mao Kongshan, is a history professor at Zhaijing University. He comes from the Mao family. He is the Mao family. The team leader should know, right?"

"Zhai Wangxing belongs to the Mao family, everyone knows about it." Lu Linbei said coldly.

"So this matter is not simple. Zhai Wangxing is going through the general election, and the Huang and Mao families are fighting fiercely. But at this time..."

"Then we can't get involved. Since you haven't left, it's a good idea to report on the progress of the work."

Fang Feihan showed a look of surprise, but soon turned into a smile, "The team leader is guarding us, okay, we will do the hard work, and you will take the credit. Why don't we come from a farm?"

Lu Linbei had long been accustomed to this man's strange aura, so he remained unmoved and said coldly: "Do you want to make meritorious deeds?"

"Who doesn't want to make meritorious service? Meritorious service means reward. Even if you can't get a promotion, you can at least increase some funds." Fang Feihan couldn't hold back as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was so angry that he spat, "Our emergency department is unlucky enough to lose one of our colleagues. All interests are driven to this place where birds don't poop - no, not even a live bird can be seen in this ghost place. The Military Intelligence Office said that the prospects are so bright, but what is the result? The manpower is still the same, and the funds have not increased. Investigator Live like a beggar. Team leader, everyone is in such a difficult situation. If you don’t take care of your own people, you will be even more unlucky. If you ask me, just disband. Right? Lao Bai!"

Gui Shangbai held the wine bottle, showed a satisfied smile, and said loudly: "Yes!" He probably didn't hear what the other person was asking.

Lu Linbei had two choices. One was to directly expose the other party's frequent falsification in reports and suppress his arrogance. The other was to continue to pretend not to know and wait.

"You two should understand that investigators must not interfere with police investigations." Lu Linbei decided to wait a little longer.

Fang Feihan immediately put on a flattering smile, "We are all veteran investigators. How can we not understand this rule? Everything is done in secret. We only ask the police for help when we need their cooperation, and we will never reveal any secrets. I If we can really find the murderer, will the team leader ask me for credit?"

"Don't worry, I'm just a small team leader. I'm far from being able to cover the sky with just one hand. Your credit is yours. I can't hide it, and I can't take it away."

"I have never had such thoughts, team leader, don't get me wrong." Fang Feihan stood up, "Then I'll take action. If it's a little later, the murderer might fall into the hands of someone else."

"Well, notify me immediately if there is any news."

"Okay." Fang Feihan left in a hurry.

He must know something. Lu Linbei knew it was useless to ask, so he simply didn't ask. He looked at Gui Shangbai who was drinking alone in the corner, "Do you have anything else?"

"Me?" Gui Shangbai shook the bottle in his hand and found that it was empty. He threw it on the sofa. He stood up and staggered to his desk, staring at his boss with gloomy and dull eyes, "It's no problem anymore. "

"What's okay?"

"The man I mentioned before can be settled over two drinks. He is willing to be an intelligence agent and provide us with information. He works in the core department of Jiazi Star, and the quality of the intelligence is absolutely excellent."

"What's his name? What's his specific job?"

"I can't say this. We made an agreement to have a single line of contact and leave no trace. The codename I gave him is 'Loquat No. 1'."

Lu Linbei glanced at the empty wine bottle on the sofa and saw the word "Loquat" on the trademark.

"When can I reimburse the bar expenses?" Gui Shangbai's drinking capacity has a range. When it is within the range, he is cheerful and likeable. Outside the range, whether he drinks too little or too much, They will all become annoying, stubborn and unreasonable, and only focus on their own interests.

"I want to see the results." Lu Linbei said.

"What result? Didn't I already give you the result? 'Loquat No. 1', investigators use code names to protect intelligence agents, isn't it a routine operation? Others can do it, why can't I?" Gui Shangbai's eyes were bloodshot, The sound is getting louder and louder.

"You can use the code name, but I have to see the first batch of information he provides and confirm that it is valuable before I can accept him as an intelligence agent." Lu Linbei is not afraid at all. He has already understood the fierceness of these two subordinates. Be clear.

Gui Shangbai, who had drunk too much, reacted a little slowly. He stood swaying and couldn't fully control his body while grabbing the edge of the table with both hands. After a while, he let out a long oh, "Information, yes, it should be Give me the information first, why did I forget it?"

Gui Shangbai fumbled in his pocket for a long time, looking more and more confused. Finally he took out his hand and saw the ring on the index finger of his right hand. He smiled and said, "Look at me, I'm so confused. It's on my hand."

He took off the ring, picked it up solemnly with both hands, and handed it to his boss, as if he was about to kneel down and propose at the next moment.

Lu Linbei lowered his eyes, motioned Gui Shangbai to put the ring on the table, and then said: "Go home and rest. Don't drink anymore tonight. I will give you the answer tomorrow."

Gui Shangbai nodded solemnly, "Go home, I'll go home and go to bed. Actually, I didn't drink much today. Really, I might be a little excited. This is a big fish..."

After chatting for a few minutes, in the middle of the conversation, Gui Shangbai turned around and left, most likely to find a bar to get drunk.

Lu Linbei sighed, opened a microcomputer, wrote an email to Li Fenghui and Professor Qiao, briefly explaining the murder of Mao Kongshan, and then opened another microcomputer that was not connected to the Internet to read the information in the ring.

There were a large number of documents stored in the ring, and Lu Linbei became more and more surprised the more he looked at them, because they did come from the core department of Jiazi Star, and many undisclosed matters were contained in them.

With Gui Shangbai's ability, he would never be able to compile these documents.

There were so many documents that Lu Linbei couldn't understand them for a while and planned to take them home, but he was quickly attracted by a short document because the content on it was related to him and Chen Manchi.

"Operation codename: Virus 034; Target: Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi; Progress: Smooth, target has been bitten. Reporter: Wen Zhuqian."
