It turns out that in a modern society like the Empire, once something is known and widely spread by the public, it is not completely controlled by the will of a small group of people. News limited to Taoxi Road may be controlled and blocked through various means, but things like tonight have far exceeded the limits that Duan Chengzhi or Wu Yongjun and people at that level can deal with.

Therefore, at six o'clock in the evening, at least four TV stations reported the news and tried to contact relevant departments of the Imperial Government.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Chongfa, Zhishi of Pingyang City, made a TV announcement with the assistant procurator of the Municipal Procuratorate, and after questioning by more than a dozen reporters, he said that he would thoroughly investigate the matter and give an explanation to the public before the Spring Festival comes.

This efficiency is far beyond Li Zhen's imagination, but it is reasonable. Because this year is the year of election, and one month after the Spring Festival will be the election of the new government and the new cabinet. According to imperial laws, Pingyang Zhishi City can be re-elected for one term, and he should not want to step down because of this matter.

At this time, he was sitting in a restaurant and looking up at the TV on the opposite wall, drinking tea while recalling Duan Chengzhi's reaction on the phone a few hours ago.

He first got furious and cursed. Then he hung up the phone angrily, leaving only one sentence "You are waiting."

However, I waited for two hours and there was no news anymore. I think the one who saw the news later also ignored him and was completely ignored. Or maybe... he has been restricted from his personal freedom now.

He watched TV and drank tea until the pot of black tea on the table saw the bottom, and his phone rang again. It was Dai Bingcheng's number.

He looked at it and picked up the phone.

"I'm asking for leave to leave the base to do this?" There was no emotion in his voice. But having no emotion means that there was something in his mind - because when the two of them were talking, his tone was always gentle.

"To visit a few old friends," Li Zhen also said lightly, "It happened to be a collision with this. You know, Qi Yuanshan is my brother. This matter is much more serious than thirty yuan."

Dai Bingcheng on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then he realized that what Li Zhen said about "thirty dollars" refers to what Dai Bingcheng asked when the two met for the first time, "I heard that you had fought with someone for thirty dollars." So his tone was a little looser: "I heard that. But you still have no consideration in doing this. At least you should say hello to me first."

Li Zhen knew why the other party eased his attitude - "thirty yuan". In the past, Li Zhen could fight for the money, but now Li Zhen could also make trouble for his brother... This is still Li Zhen. It has not changed at all - at least it seems.

So Li Zhen smiled, but his tone was filled with a little surprise and peace of mind: "You... didn't blame me?"

Dai Bingcheng was obviously satisfied with his tone and hummed there: "Then are you ready to be criticized? I don't bother with Duan Chengzhi's affairs, but this is not his own - what are you going to do with Wu Yongjun?"

Li Zhen thought about it and said tentatively: "I don't care about him anymore, and I can't control him even if I want to. Anyway, when things get bigger, that person won't fall in. But, did he call you?"

Who knew that Dai Bingcheng was quite arrogant today, or because of what Li Zhen did, he was quite happy in a sense, and snorted again: "He is not that big of energy yet. But this matter... you have also made a fuss. You have a day off. When will you come back to report it?"

Li Zhen hesitated for a while and said, "I'll go see my brother tomorrow and go back to the base in the afternoon."

"There is no need to go back." Dai Bingcheng said, "You will wait for me outside Deshengmen at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and I will take you to see someone."

Before Li Zhen could ask who he wanted to meet, he hung up the phone. It seemed as if he was deliberately asking Li Zhen to be uneasy tonight. However, Li Zhen just smiled and picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea.

As expected, Dai Bingcheng's reaction made him quite satisfied. His performance should also make Dai Bingcheng quite satisfied. He would "do things recklessly" when his mind became hot. This is what the young man Li Zhen should do.

But who do you want to take yourself to meet?

He sat in the restaurant for a while and walked out. He bought himself a new coat before the mall closed down and called Aunt Liu and Qi Yuanshan twice. They had contacted him before, and this time Aunt Liu repeated the words of thanks again, and at the same time asked him worriedly if he had any trouble with such a big thing.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "I am a confidentiality unit."

The word confidentiality has a great influence because it also symbolizes hazy authority in a certain sense, invisible shock, and inconsistency. This sentence makes Aunt Liu temporarily relieved, and Li Zhen's tone is extremely sincere, and it doesn't sound like a slight fear.

But when he was talking to Qi Yuanshan, the situation he had been worried about still happened.

Of course, my brother was grateful, but that kind of gratitude was hidden in the vaguely excited tone and did not turn into words that sounded quite uncomfortable. But at the same time, Li Zhen heard other meanings in these words - Yuanshan was less than 20 years old after all, and even if he wanted to become a deep accident, he could not do it as invisible as Aunt Liu.

So Li Zhen realized that this brother envied his current situation. He didn't seem to want to stay in that small barbecue restaurant anymore.

In fact, Li Zhen had expected this result a long time ago, but he was really powerless. Or, even if he had the ability, he would not do that.

He has seen the casualties statistics of the Pingyang incident and the Shennongjia incident. So many people who were alive in the past eventually turned into cold characters on the screen and presented them to their eyes. Each name carries decades of life experience, and has an extremely real and deep connection with someone or a few people in this world.

But at the moment of death, those systems were ruthlessly cut off.

Qi Yuanshan could not have the power of himself, and he could not become an executive at all. He was a rural youth who was so ordinary that he could not become an ordinary person, nor could he become a member of the special security forces. He could not do anything he wanted. However, in Li Zhen's opinion, this is a good thing. At least this friend can live a peaceful life as an ordinary person, and walk the rest of the road with an incomplete understanding of the world, without having to have so many worries and fears like himself. The more he knows, the more he discovers his ignorance.

He also wants to see his friend again one day in the future, eat, drink, talk and laugh with him, and spend the long years.

If I were still alive at that time.

So he finally said, "The distant mountains, here I am going to die."

Qi Yuanshan on the other end of the phone was stunned and asked hesitantly: "Are you... a special forces? Who is the kind of secret operation on the border?"

Li Zhen walked on the street where the cold wind blew, smiling and shook his head: "It's not that kind. But it's often a dead person."

So Qi Yuanshan's previous expectations and excitement cooled down and became deeply worried about Li Zhen: "It's so dangerous? What should you do? Have you... killed someone?"

Li Zhen did not answer him, but sighed slightly: "I'm fine. But I don't want you to become like this. My mother often says she doesn't want me to have such a great future, as long as she is safe and safe. Although this sounds boring to me, I also want to tell you that I want you to be safe and safe."

Qi Yuanshan was silent for a while before asking, "Then when will you come here next time?"

"I can't say it." Li Zhen couldn't hear his emotions, "But if you have time, I will definitely come to see you. I will not use this number after returning to the team. This is a one-time mobile phone call. If you have something to do in the future..."

"Then forget it." Qi Yuanshan interrupted him, "If you are a confidentiality army, you must have many rules. I won't call you. You will come to see us when you have time."

Li Zhen stopped in front of a hotel, stood under a street light, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you angry?"

But Qi Yuanshan laughed and scolded: "Go away, don't talk to me like this, I'm not interested in men."

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Then, let's contact you next time."

After hanging up the phone, he stood by the street for a while, and behind him was the bright lights of the street. In previous years, it was a holiday. He and his friends would run out to play at night, chat loudly on the street, eat snacks all over the street, and make their noses red. At that time, the relationship between him and Kesong was still faint, and they were tacit. He followed each other in the noise of the crowd, and smiled sweetly and happily as his eyes met.

But in fact, he didn't have many real friends at that time, but they were all familiar classmates.

There is only one real brother at the moment, and he is unwilling to let the other party experience his own life. He always loses what he gets, and how real he is now experiencing it.

He is destined to be a person in two worlds. However, being able to know that he is still lingering with the happy life of ordinary people is more or less a comfort to him.

Isn't this what the siege looks like?

He looked at the street view through the fog he exhaled for a while, and called Kesong again.

"Guess where I am now?"

At this time, as usual, it was the time for two people to talk on the phone. Most of the time, Kesong lies on the bed to watch TV. However, today her voice was a little strange, and she asked him with a breath of breath: "Ah? Where is it?"

"Near the Imperial Temple - where we used to come to eat. I plan to buy something later. Do you want to bring anything?"

Kesong thought for a while: "When will you come back after buying something? Is the matter done?"

"Ah, this..." Li Zhen thought for a while, "I could have visited you tomorrow, but Director Dai wanted to take me to do business again in the afternoon. Maybe he had to wait until the Spring Festival. However, my mother and dad wanted you to come to my house for the Spring Festival, would you come?"

Then he regretted mentioning this. This should be the first time Kesong celebrated the holiday alone - his father was still in prison. And the sentence he asked, "Will you come?" was simply stupid!

So he quickly added: "You must come anyway, they miss their daughter-in-law."

This sentence seemed to have some effect. Kesong laughed: "You hate...well, I'll go. I'm the only one anyway."

Li Zhen felt a little sad, and he was silent for a long time, and said, "I'm sorry. My mom and my dad... have not seen me for too long."

"It's nothing." Kesong seemed to make his tone easier and changed the subject again, "Then I can't let you bring me something. I originally planned to buy me Laoshanji's pie there - Miss An hasn't eaten it, so I'll forget it if I'll come back tomorrow. By the way, she brought me a box of coconut when she came back from a business trip. I just moved it up and almost exhausted."

"Coconut!" Li Zhen was surprised, "Where did she do it?"

"She went on a business trip to Taiwan and said she found something strange about sea snakes there. She said that people had been sent at both bases and she only came back a few days ago."

Li Zhen frowned slightly. She was just a little surprised before. She got coconut in the winter, but now her attention is shifting to another word - "Sea Snake".

The "sea snake" and "strange thing" that can make the people from the secret service work over to do research will never be just unknown creatures in the general sense. This made him instinctively think of those two names - "Haki Snake" and "Feather Snake God".

Will there be any connection?

So he immediately asked, "Have she mentioned that thing to you? Very, very..."

He tried to think about the words, but Kesong seemed to understand what Li Zhen wanted to ask, and realized that this seemed to be a very important thing, so his tone became solemn: "I just mentioned it casually, but it wouldn't seem to be very important, otherwise she wouldn't tell me. But when I came back, the plane failed and landed in Hubei, and I came back with you."

This made Li Zhen breathe a sigh of relief for a moment because he had a ridiculous idea before - that thing wouldn't be a kind of species. However, now I think I'm really optimistic. If that thing can go to Taiwan and be studied by a group of people, it wouldn't be worthy of the name of the kind.

But after returning to the base, I still have to go and take a look... Maybe I will find something.

He let go of this and chatted with Kesong for a while. He walked into the hotel to check in until the chill was soaked in, waiting for Dai Bingcheng's arrival tomorrow.

===============================================

I wrote one thousand more words, so it was even late. As usual, it was after 17 pm.

I found that the most comfortable way to wake up should be to sleep until you wake up naturally. The second comfortable way is to be woken up by the sound of rain. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
