Chapter 1286 Negotiations
,
)
Before the New Year, the mayor personally held a press conference in front of the gate of the city hall in the cold wind. Standing on the high rostrum, the mayor, who is in his fifties, is wearing thick Chinese-style clothes, explaining to the media and the public.
"Recently, a serious criminal case has occurred in this city, and five young girls have disappeared one after another, which has attracted the attention of the whole society. Today I am here to announce like everyone that with the joint efforts of the municipal government and judicial organs, we have solved this major case!"
Next, the news of the five rescued hostages were announced, as well as pictures of the prisoner being shot dead. The mayor interacted with the reporters who came to interview and held a very enthusiastic publicity event together. Smart Factory 1286
In short, this emergency is both a crisis and a challenge for the current mayor. If it is successfully resolved, it can quickly increase people's expectations and lay a solid foundation for the next re-election.
As a powerful actor, the mayor has super first-class acting skills.
Similarly, the Municipal Criminal Police Detachment responsible for solving this case was also collectively commended. Standing in front of the podium, the director of the Municipal Police Bureau made a work report on the case, and would also answer the details of the matters to various reporters.
This is the best thing about elected politics. No matter how bad your heart is in private, you must at least do your best to save face. Otherwise, if you really hate public opinion, you will not be able to take it.
Dou Yuanshu, who was also standing in front of the stage, had a somewhat stiff expression and smiled and asked questions from those chattering reporters without a smile. After finally dealing with it, he hurried to the backstage to drink water and shocked him. At the same time, he also met his colleagues and friends.
"Yuanshu, are you here to be lazy?"
Obviously, this person was like Dou Yuanshu, unable to bear the atmosphere on the scene and ran away halfway.
"I memorized the information I sent to us last night and now I have to face a lot of questions. I am almost collapsed!" Dou Yuanshu was in a very depressed mood. As a criminal policeman, he could not bear this shame.
The case was not solved by himself, but the superiors insisted on explaining to the public like this, which made him feel dissatisfied, "What's wrong with this country? Does anyone think this is wrong?" The Internet did not skip words.
"I'm afraid you're the only one who has problems!" My colleague looked at Dou Yuanshu, who was frustrated alone, "Please, you're not interested in the credit that fell from the sky?"
"I'm not a policeman for this!" Dou Yuanshu's righteous remarks were obviously unable to convince his colleagues.
"Then what are you doing? Maintain peace on earth? Or promote justice? Don't be stupid. The essence of the judicial system is to maintain stable social order. As long as you can do this, justice and evil do not matter. As for the truth, you must make the way out."
Of course, Dou Yuanshu has reason to be depressed. The so-called prisoner who was shot was simply a murderer in a bank robbery six months ago. He was accidentally shot and killed in a gun battle with the police due to arrest a week ago. Dou Yuanshu did not think that this guy could jump out of the morgue and kidnap five girls.
As for the photos, the Criminal Police Detachment's professional skills are still very effective, at least they look very realistic.
"Yuanshu, I advise you not to care about this case anymore, otherwise you will have no good results if you get involved in a department you shouldn't be involved in!"
There are also many institutions and organizations within the government, many of which are not even public, but their power is quite large. Local criminal policemen like Dou Yuanshu are completely ineligible to involve these confidential incidents.
In the public, a large number of enthusiastic citizens came to pay attention to the progress of the case. When they heard that all the hostages were rescued, they immediately cheered. However, there were several figures in the crowd. They were different from the people around them. They had no fanaticism in their eyes, but only calmness and calmness.
A young man and a teenager stood on the edge of the crowd, looking at the mayor and the sheriff from afar.
Before the meeting ended, they left silently. Those who didn't know what happened thought they were just pedestrians passing by. Smart Factory 1286
It was not until they walked to the outside of the square in the central park that they saw that there was no one around that the two of them started talking.
The older young man was about 24 years old and had a strong face. It was Wu Funing, and the handsome boy following him was naturally Lian Feiyi.
"I received a message from Zhou Huafeng last night. He should have been involved in this matter, but he has not replied until now." Two days have passed, and even Feiyi couldn't help but feel anxious.
"The municipal government did not mention his name, obviously intending to conceal the truth of the whole matter. Let's go back first, don't worry too much, there will always be a solution."
Lian Feiyi nodded, and now this is the only way.
After returning to the temporary headquarters, Wu Funing also discussed the current situation with Huang Guanghong and Lu Lirou. Zhou Huafeng's disappearance seemed to point the finger directly at the government departments.
"There are traces of battle at the scene. We found a large number of warheads and explosions. It is probably the Mecha Special Service Team under the Throne of Order. Only they will use high-tech weapons in large quantities, and generally speaking, it is more appropriate to deploy frontal military forces in the sparsely populated wilderness."
After Lu Lirou finished speaking, Huang Guanghong also held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "The Mecha Special Forces Team needs to be dispatched to such a military force. Do they plan to start a war? It's not like dealing with a rookie who has just activated his spiritual power, right? There are so many words on the Internet."
"This may not be necessary. I think the target of the Mecha Special Service Team is not Zhou Huafeng, but the disappearance of a girl who has been in a hot spot in the city recently. It seems that their target is not a small role, but it should be solved almost now, at least the official has explained it."
As the highest-ranking existence among the four, no one dared to object when she spoke. "What I worry most now is Zhou Huafeng's situation. After all, according to the agreement, he should be considered ours."
Wu Funing took out a paper agreement, "He has indeed called his application for employment, but we did not issue it, and we did not have time to give the other party a certificate of identity. Therefore, if we want to negotiate with the Throne of Order, it may be difficult."
As a private organization outside the political system, the powerful force ensures that the organization is not interfered by secular regimes. But after all, it is a force that destroys balance, so it is very normal to be suspicious of the ruling class.
When Li Wansheng and Chen Jiongming were in charge, the cooperation between the American Literature Association and the Chinese federal government was very close. It was because of the core members such as Chen Ze, Yi Zhongming and Liu Haoran that they spent a long period of honeymoon.
But time always passes, and people will die of old age. Now, the sun and the moon change into new sky, and the old come and new come. Under the influence of nationalist thoughts, the political will of modern countries has finally returned to the right track, and the new generation of ruling classes no longer understand the concerns of the older generation.
They were not willing to see a force outside the system, especially when this force threatened their own rule. In order to maintain balance, under the advocacy of Zhang Jinglin and Liu Haoran, the institution of the Throne of Order was secretly established.
Although the name and above belong to the National Security Bureau, it is actually the base camp of the Innovation Association. The purpose is to reduce the friction between young and strong radicals within the country and avoid the expansion of conflicts.
One of the regulations is that the Throne of Order has the power to deal with the unstable factors within society on its own, mainly various uncontrolled mysterious forces and phenomena.
For example, the ancient monsters that appear in the tombs, or the mutants of humans like Zhou Huafeng, are all existences that contradict the ideology of today's mainstream society, so they must be blocked and controlled.
However, this provision has another major premise, that is, the Throne of Order shall not arrest members of the Ancient Chinese Society and its subordinate branches without reason, unless there is sufficient evidence to prosecute through judicial channels.
To be honest, there must be many problems in execution, and small contradictions and frictions are still inevitable. However, the existence of the Throne of Order at least eliminates the outbreak of comprehensive conflicts and maintains the stability and stability of the entire society.
In the throne of Order, in addition to the radical forces belonging to the Innovation Society, there are also some moderate members, just to monitor the actions of both sides to avoid blatant blatant breach of the rules.
Lian Feiyi is the person sent by Kuishui Club to contact Zhou Huafeng. In addition to understanding the person's abilities and character, it is more important to see whether the other party has a camp. Smart Factory 1286
From the information obtained by Lian Feiyi, Youan was also very happy to find that this person was completely free, so she planned to absorb him. Based on the constraints of the rules, this cannot be forced, and the parties involved must be voluntarily.
In fact, Lian Feiyi misunderstood the organizational regulations of the Kuishui Club at the beginning, but he did not regret joining. At least he did not have to use members as hawks and tools like the Throne of Order, which was about sacrifice and dedication.
In the Guwen Club and the Kuishui Club, you are more about giving and gaining, as well as understanding your hopes and demands. There is no ideology imposed on you, nor does it impose a certain belief on you, making you a "warrior who defends xx".
"Sir Wu, it's enough for us to have this application for entry, and all that's left is the problem of procedures." Dark smiled meaningfully, "I originally planned to conduct more investigations, but I didn't expect that it was too late to go through time, so I'll sign a consent first."
"By the way, to avoid trouble, it doesn't matter if the date is a little bit ahead."
Wu Funing is a dull guy, obviously not understanding his boss's attitude, "I'm afraid this does not comply with the rules. We must follow the regulations in the procedures..."
"Okay, okay, don't be so old-fashioned. It's just a documentary work. Just decide this. Let's wait for the rest of the matter to negotiate with the Throne of Order." Yu Dao waved his hand and smiled mischievously, interrupting Wu Funing's argument.
In this way, Zhou Huafeng became an external employee of Kuishui Club, at least in writing.
"Then please you in this matter, Captain."
Lu Lirou smiled knowingly, "Yes, I understand." She is not as stupid as Wu Funing.
Three days later, Lu Lirou, wearing a dress, completely highlighted her beautiful figure. This dress is simple in design, but it is a bit Western-style, not traditional oriental clothing.
She and Lian Feiyi went to a hotel together and booked a private room inside, which was just right for some secret talk.
Because it is going out and a new era and a new atmosphere, few people wear traditional clothes on weekdays. However, although it is lightweight clothing, the simple and bright design style still reflects the delicateness and beauty of oriental culture.
The collar and cuffs all have mysterious and magnificent patterns, exquisite and detailed.
This is a high-end restaurant located in the hotel. Not only are there famous musical instruments playing guzheng and xylophone here, but you can also see the beautiful dancer performing on stage here.
However, those who can get here are all high-ranking people, so no one dares to do something inappropriate and speak with whispers.
Since we need to negotiate, it is certainly impossible to choose the home court of either party, so this neutral public place has become the most suitable place. After all, even if we cannot reach an agreement, we have to worry about public opinion and public influence.
The person who came to contact Lu Lirou was the commander-in-chief of the operation that night, a middle-aged officer with a cold temperament. However, he did not wear a military uniform at this time, but instead put on a pale blue windbreaker.
He has a tall figure and a prominent aura, like a steep mountain peak, and his eyebrows are thick and thick, hanging under the ends of his hair like a sharp sword.
"Hello, my name is Wei Cunyang." When he saw Lu Lirou coming, he stood up very gentlemanly, stretched out his strong right hand, and shook Lu Lirou for a moment.
"Hello, my name is Lu Lirou."
In order to show sincerity, both parties used their real names, but Lian Feiyi remained silent and did not introduce himself. However, Wei Cunyang ignored it. He just sat down seriously and then spoke meticulously to Lu Lirou.
With a strong military style, this kind of person from a disciplined national organization made Lian Feiyi feel a sense of oppression. The other party is very strong, not only the strength of the body, but also the spirit and momentum, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle.
Wei Cunyang and his troops were stationed in Dalian, but he was responsible for this surprise operation. Kuishui Society also filed a complaint to the Throne of Order through the headquarters of the Ancient Literature Society, with the reason that the people of the Innovation Society privately arrested their members.
Therefore, both sides sent people with sufficient qualifications to negotiate in the hope of finding a peaceful solution.
"Mr. Wei, Zhou Huafeng is an employee of our Kuishui Club. According to the rules, you have no right to arrest and detain him." Lu Lirou was not polite and immediately expressed her purpose for her.
Wei Cunyang had no expression on his face, but his voice sounded a little hard, "Ms. Lu, I think this issue is still up to date. As far as I know, Zhou Huafeng was taken away at the crime scene, it is hard to say that this case has nothing to do with him. Secondly, when we discovered him, he did not have any identification items on him, so we cannot determine whether he is a member of your company."
Here, Wei Cunyang deliberately paused.
"So, according to the content of the special bill of the 'Third of Order', it is completely reasonable for us to give necessary control because the target person Zhou Huafeng was detected. And as for you to ask for someone now, I doubt this matter."
Of course, Wei Cunyang would not let him go just because of Lu Lirou's words. Not to mention Zhou Huafeng's research value, Wei Cunyang was disgusted with organizations like Kuishui Society and Guwen Society.
In his eyes, having such strength but being unfilial and loyal to the country means having no national justice and unpatriotic!
"This is Zhou Huafeng's application for employment, and our approval. On January 17th, the day of the incident, we originally planned to hand over the jade pendant to Zhou Huafeng, but unexpectedly something happened later." Lu Lirou took out the evidence that had been prepared long ago and spread it in front of Wei Cunyang.
Wei Cunyang looked through carefully without saying a word. There were photos, signatures and fingerprints on the application form, which were difficult to fake. Moreover, at this time, he looked at Lian Feiyi, who had been sitting in his position silently, and Wei Cunyang also had some realizations.
The physical evidence is not enough, and even the personal evidence is brought. Although Wei Cunyang does not know Lian Feiyi's identity, he also knows the behavioral patterns of Guwenhui.
Lian Feiyi must be the referee who was in contact with Zhou Huafeng. At that time, there will be a lot of witnesses confirming his relationship with Zhou Huafeng. In addition, the information on hand can indeed explain Zhou Huafeng's identity.
However, Zhou Huafeng's value is too great, which is related to the technological breakthrough of controllable gene mutations. Although the country has invested a lot in this regard, its effectiveness has always been very low.
This also has a question of time. After all, ancient Chinese would have started to work on this issue very early. At that time, the government and the army were busy with foreign wars, fighting against domestic warlords and participating in the world's hegemony.
After the end of World War II, there was a moon landing plan like Xihe Project. Where can I have the time and energy to study knowledge in the supernatural field?
It is precisely because of the late start and the problem of attitude towards the mutants that more people turned to the Scripture Society. With the introduction of the secret bill of "Third of Order", relevant specialized organizations were established to compete for relevant resources with the Scripture Society.
The Zhou Huafeng captured outside and the monsters in the tomb that were originally regarded as targets all involve knowledge of psychology and energy, allowing humans to get closer to the mystery of life.
From the precious ancient documents that have been preserved, there are many strange stories, including the mysterious and strange corpse refining techniques and head-subduing techniques, which are actually a disguised ancient biochemical technology.
However, because it involves not real material phenomena, but intangible and intangible energy fields, it is misunderstood by many people as a mysterious force, and even has twisted beliefs and worship.
In fact, knowledge is knowledge, that's all.
