The sky turned white, and the air was filled with the chill of dawn.

The intersection leading to Shoucun was cordoned off, and heavily armed police officers patrolled on high alert. When Hu Jiu's figure appeared, everyone subconsciously became nervous.

The tragedy of a few hours ago is still vivid in my mind. The two ghost masters who came back from Shoucun went on a killing spree. The police officer originally stationed here died mysteriously and tragically, leaving only one alive.

At this time, another person was seen coming out of Shoucun. The police did not dare to delay for a second and reported the matter immediately.

Hu Jiu carried a body bag and crossed the blockade step by step. The police officers cautiously exchanged greetings with him. Seeing that he was no different from ordinary people, they gradually put their hearts back in their stomachs.

After a while, the satellite phone rang, and it was still Lin Guangning’s voice: “Is it Hu Jiu?”

‘Why are you still such a bitch? ’ Hu Jiu complained in her heart, “Yes, it’s me.”

Lin Guangning came up with questions as usual: "The background shows that your satellite phone had restored its signal a few hours ago. Why didn't you contact the headquarters in time?"

Because I am personally directing a big show! Hu Jiu smiled and said, "The information provided by the headquarters has errors, which has caused me to run into a lot of trouble. This matter is of great importance. Please ask your leader to talk to me personally!"

"The leader is very busy right now." Lin Guangning said in a bad tone, "Please describe all the details of this operation in detail, and I will record and report it truthfully."

Hu Jiu looked calm: "I think it is necessary to upgrade the satellite phone at the headquarters. It was promised that it can maintain contact in the ghost land. But what happened? As soon as we entered Shoucun, the signal was lost. This time it was my luck. Well, if it had been anyone else, I wouldn’t have been able to get out at all!”

"Okay, I will report your suggestion to my superiors in time." Lin Guangning was very impatient, "Can we get down to business first?"

"I'm just talking about business!" Hu Jiu's attitude was very serious. "The communication equipment of the headquarters is defective. When the ghost controller handles supernatural events, a slight mistake may cause irreparable consequences. I am doing this for the sake of the headquarters. , some things just need to be guarded against!”

"You're right." Lin Guangning gritted his teeth, "Can we talk about business now?"

Hu Jiu said a lot of...correct nonsense nonchalantly.

During this trip to Shou Village, he gained quite a lot. He learned some confidential information that had not yet been confirmed, took in a ghost, and the most important Shou Zhu.

In order to conceal the whereabouts of Shou Zhu, he manipulated Phantom to act, framed the case, and killed the witnesses present to prevent more people from seeing the Phantom's flaw, leaving only a not-so-smart "witness."

Of course, this "witness" won't live long. After barely recording the confession, he will probably die.

After doing these things, Hu Jiu didn't come out until dawn. During this period, the testimony of witnesses, the corpses at the scene that had been drained of their lifespan, and perhaps the law enforcement recorders were enough to make the headquarters highly suspicious." Zou Cong" snatched the birthday candle and fled.

The longevity candle is a good thing. Once it is held, a stream of warmth will flow into the body. It should be that the "borrowed" life span is feeding back to the holder. The side effects need to be verified. In short, Hu Jiu is in very good condition now.

There is a saying that "the more you endure, the more painful you are, and the more greedy you are, the happier you are." Hu Jiu would never give away the benefits he got. He would only choose to make a fortune in silence.

Lin Guangning was thinking about things in his mind and kept beeping. Lin Guangning on the other side of the phone was so angry that his eyes were red. Fortunately, Fu Youhua arrived in time and ended this meaningless conversation.

"Mr. Hu, I am the head of the headquarters..." Before Fu Youhua could finish his greeting, Hu Jiu preemptively said, "For this operation, the headquarters deliberately provided false intelligence, putting me in danger. I need an explanation!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Fu Youhua retorted subconsciously, "This kind of thing is not conducive to unity..."

"Zou Cong said it himself." Hu Jiu slowly blocked Fu Youhua.

The atmosphere became silent. After a moment, Fu Youhua spoke: "Tell me first what happened after entering Shoucun? Other matters will be dealt with later."

Hu Jiu did not pester him and cleared his throat: "As soon as we entered Shoucun, the mobile phone signal was lost. Cui Xueyan was arrogant and gave random orders. He provoked a very powerful ghost, but he failed to imprison him successfully. He wanted to When I retreated, I found I couldn’t leave.”

"Cui Xueyan and Zou Cong had a serious disagreement. When the two were quarreling, Cui Xueyan spilled the beans. We vaguely learned that the headquarters' intelligence was wrong and they didn't trust each other. The four of them broke up on bad terms and finally decided to split up."

"But due to the unknown situation, I have always focused on self-protection. There is a large house in the center of the village. The source of the ghost is suspected to be there, and I dare not approach it. Cui Xueyan and Zou Cong broke into the house. I don't know what they did. The ghostland that envelopes the village Disappeared. When I saw Cui Xueyan and Zou Cong again, they were fighting for a red candle. Zou Cong was not in his right mind, and he was yelling about getting out of control, deceiving him at the headquarters, and deliberately modifying the files. I overheard everything.

"They noticed that I was eavesdropping and wanted to kill me to silence them! But their condition was not good, so I escaped by chance. I was in a coma for a long time before I woke up. Then I came out, and then..."

It was difficult to tell whether Hu Jiu's words were true or false. Fu Youhua repeatedly asked for various details and kept testing whether Hu Jiu had heard any secrets from Zou Cong that he shouldn't have heard.

Hu Jiu put all the blame on Zou Cong and Cui Xueyan, claiming that they did everything and that he had been fishing for fish and paddling. He had no idea what happened in Shoucun.

No matter how he was interrogated, he cooperated very well. When there were no more questions, he brought the topic back: "It's time to talk about the intelligence failure at the headquarters."

This kind of thing certainly cannot be passed off to interns or contractors. Fu Youhua was silent for a while, "This matter is related to national secrets. The deletion of relevant files is for the overall consideration. Some necessary sacrifices are unavoidable."

"Are you sure it's for the overall good?" Hu Jiu was quite joking.

"I'm sure!" Fu Youhua's voice was sonorous and powerful, "I hope you can understand the headquarters..."

"Okay, I can understand." Hu Jiu answered quickly.

Fu Youhua choked. He thought he would try his best to comfort him, but why did he suddenly feel like he was punched in cotton?

"We discussed before about the candidate for the person in charge of Linjiang City..." Hu Jiu brought up old matters meaningfully.

Fu Youhua said calmly, "I will immediately send someone to test you. As long as you pass, you can directly become the person in charge of Linjiang City. At the same time, regarding this task, the headquarters will pay you a certain amount of compensation, but you must You have to sign a confidentiality agreement, and no information about the trip to Shoucun can be leaked, otherwise... you will be punished as a crime of treason!"

"No problem~" Hu Jiu hung up the phone happily, a deep thought flashing in his eyes.

He is not arrogant enough to think that his lies can deceive everyone. If a loophole is discovered, or the headquarters fails to find the whereabouts of "Zou Cong" and "Cui Xueyan", I am afraid... there will be some follow-up consequences. trouble.

Although Hu Jiu is selfish and ruthless, he will also put himself in someone else's shoes. If he were a senior executive at the headquarters and faced an important insider who was suspected of telling lies, there is no need to guess what he would do...

So, this matter is not over yet!
