Paranormal Investigation Notes
Chapter 399 Negotiations
At first, Lu Ming, who was a little frustrated, didn't see this young man.It wasn't until the young man was less than ten meters away from him and was still walking straight, the vigilance brought about by long-term training, that Lu Ming subconsciously raised his head and looked at him.
Next to him, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei were also watching him.
Suddenly being watched by three people at the same time, the thin young man was a little nervous and hesitant.But he still walked in front of the three of them.
During this process, the three of them had examined him countless times, and they had already confirmed that this young man was not a threat.
Standing in front of the three of them, facing their questioning gazes, he stammered and said, "You... Hello, that's how it is. Here is a bunch of flowers for you."
Lu Ming and He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan.A smile appeared on Zhang Dingshan's face, and his voice was calm: "Oh? Why did you give it to us?"
The young man scratched his head: "When I went out, I saw a bouquet of flowers with 100 yuan in it, and a mobile phone in the flowers. The voice on the mobile phone said, let me give you the flowers, That 100 yuan is mine."
Zhang Dingshan's gaze suddenly sharpened.He looked at the bunch of flowers, and sure enough, he saw a corner of a metal box in the middle.
It looked a bit like a walkie-talkie rather than a cell phone.
"Okay, please put it here, thank you."
The thin man directly placed the bouquet of flowers on the edge of the flower bed, took the 100 yuan from the bouquet, and walked away with some doubts.
Zhang Dingshan looked at a young man in casual clothes who seemed to be passing by by chance, and directly gestured to him.The next moment, the man who didn't look this way at all nodded his head imperceptibly, then pretended to change direction unintentionally, and followed behind the thin man before him.
Although there is a high probability that this thin man has nothing to do with our own affairs, he still needs to investigate.
At this time, He Wei and Lu Ming also stood up and carefully observed the bouquet.
Among the bouquets, a sound suddenly came from the metal box that looked like a walkie-talkie.
"This bunch of flowers is not dangerous. Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago, and I won't wait until now."
Zhang Dingshan frowned slightly, and looked at He Wei.He Wei nodded her head and left immediately without saying a word.
Lu Ming knew that she was an organizational force. Starting from the source of the signal and the source of the item, supplemented by the investigation of the surrounding area, he tried to find the person behind the walkie-talkie.
Zhang Dingshan calmly said: "If you look at it this way, this is a negotiation?"
"Yes, negotiation."
The voice on the walkie-talkie was stiff and rigid, as if synthesized by a machine.Lu Ming had heard this kind of voice in some software such as machine translation and machine reading.
It shouldn't be possible to analyze anything from the sound.Lu Ming immediately made a judgment in his mind.
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
The stiff voice said slowly: "Talk about the price we have to pay so that you can stop the investigation of our organization. And, if you refuse to stop the investigation, what price will you pay?"
A smile appeared on Zhang Dingshan's face: "I'm curious, so tell me?"
Lu Ming noticed that Zhang Dingshan was not in a hurry, and even suspected of delaying time.He knew in his heart that Zhang Dingshan was buying time for He Wei.
"If you, and the official will behind you, can stop the investigation of our organization, I can make the decision and give you three investigators 1000 million Renminbi each. If there are people behind you who need to be settled, then More money is not non-negotiable."
Zhang Dingshan's expression remained calm: "Money doesn't appeal to us."
The stiff voice calmed down for a moment: "Sorry, the only price we can pay is money. If 1000 million is not enough, how about [-] million? Moreover, we guarantee that you will be safe and sound, without any hindrance, so no matter where you investigate Get it in a reasonable way. There is no hidden danger."
Lu Ming believed in this point.This can be seen from the way Han Rui got paid.
"It has been directly increased by ten times. It seems that your budget is quite a lot. So, who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who we are. We don't affect any innocent, anything, or anyone in the world, except to take the life of some doomed man. You can just pretend we don't exist. Fact In fact, our organization has existed for so many years, and it has never affected your world in other ways."
"Doomed to die?"
"Yes. Their fate is sealed. We are only the enforcers."
Zhang Dingshan sighed: "But, if you don't implement it, they can obviously live longer."
"This is destiny, and destiny cannot be violated."
"So what if you violate it?"
"We'll do it."
Zhang Dingshan changed the subject: "Have you guys existed for a long time?"
"Yes. It has been a long time since I followed the instructions of fate and carried out the arrangements of fate."
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
Ten years can also be considered a long time, 1000 years, 2000 years, even from the birth of human civilization can also be considered a long time.This sentence reveals basically no useful information.
"What would you do if we stopped the investigation?"
"Continue to hide in the dark, follow the instructions of fate, and implement the arrangements of fate. It will not have any impact on anything else. You can rest assured about this."
Zhang Dingshan said with a faint smile: "Actually, you don't need to negotiate with us. Our only source of information at the moment is Hu Shan. Without Hu Shan, we don't even know who was killed by you. If you don't want to continue to be investigated by us Just kill Hu Shan."
The stiff voice was silent again for a moment before saying: "We will deal with Hu Shan. And, please rest assured that in the future, things like Hu Shan will not happen again. This is just an accident."
"How to deal with it?"
"Hu Shan is very special. How to deal with it, we are still not sure. But in short, it will not cause any trouble for you."
Zhang Dingshan still wanted to find some more topics, and tried to delay the time, but the stiff voice continued: "I don't mind chatting with you again, if you want to take advantage of this time to find out where we are, please Whatever. But I don’t think you can find out anything. Since we dare to show up to negotiate with you in this way, you should also know what it means. Now, can you tell me your answer?”
Zhang Dingshan said: "If we choose not to end the investigation, what price will we pay?"
"die."
A word full of killing intent came out of the walkie-talkie without any concealment.
It was clearly broad daylight at this moment, the sky was cloudless, and a round of dazzling sun hung in the sky.With the appearance of this word, Lu Ming felt a chill out of thin air.
Zhang Dingshan looked calm, as if he didn't care at all: "It's really a terrible consequence."
"Not only you will die, but your relatives, your parents, children, siblings, and friends will all die."
Lu Ming's eyes instantly turned red, and a violent anger instantly spread throughout his body.At this moment, if he could see the enemy with his own eyes, he would immediately pounce on him and tear the enemy to pieces with his teeth and fists.
Since joining the second team, it was the first time that he faced such an undisguised death threat, and his family was also involved.
Zhang Dingshan's expression remained unchanged: "I understand. This matter is too big and involves too much, so it can't be stopped just by stopping. There are also people behind us who need to communicate and settle things. Now I can't give you an answer immediately. Please give us some time."
"I am waiting."
With the utterance of these three words, there was no sound from the walkie-talkie.
Lu Ming clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, staring at it.Zhang Dingshan sighed slightly, picked up the bunch of flowers directly, and said to Lu Ming, "Let's go."
Lu Ming followed Zhang Dingshan back to the base without saying a word.And He Wei came back early before the two of them.
"No gain."
She shook her head: "The bouquet of flowers, the walkie-talkie, that person, and the surrounding areas have all been checked."
"As expected."
Zhang Dingshan nodded: "Now there is something new. The opponent has negotiated with us and raised death threats."
Lu Qingliang was also notified of this meeting.After Zhang Dingshan described the whole process of the negotiation in a flat and unwavering tone, the meeting room fell into a deathly silence.
After a long time, He Wei suddenly slammed her fist on the table and stood up abruptly, like a raging lion.
"What the hell! Threatening us! Threatening ourselves is not counted, and you dare to add family members!"
Lu Ming's eyes were red, and he remained silent.Lu Qingliang's expression was full of complexities, with anger and fear at the same time.
Zhang Dingshan said indifferently: "This organization probably doesn't know much about us. Apart from knowing that we represent the will of the human world, they may not even know our identity, let alone our character and ideals. Otherwise, they There shouldn’t be such ridiculous conditions as 1000 million or [-] million Renminbi.”
For this kind of condition, if you were a member of any action team, even if you would still refuse it in the end, you might be moved twice.Only the four members of the second action team were not attracted by this condition at all.
If you can't do this, you can't be a member of the second action team.
Regarding this judgment, Lu Ming silently nodded.
This once again proves that apart from some super technologies, that secret organization does not have any other power beyond the human world.At least they do not know their own internal information.
Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "I did not directly reject their request for negotiation. I think this should buy us a period of time. During this period of time, they should not attack us, our families and relatives."
He Wei couldn't help but said: "Captain, what do you think is the probability that they will attack us and our relatives?"
Lu Ming, who had been silent all this time, did not wait for Zhang Dingshan to speak, and said, "That secret organization will not attack easily. It is still the judgment, and this will escalate the situation. But at this moment, we cannot rule out that our actions have seriously threatened the integrity of this organization." Survival, leading to the possibility of them dying."
At this moment, he has regained a little calmness.
"And it's meaningless to judge the probability. In any case, we and our families are threatened. This is the fundamental."
Even if there is only a 1% probability, the lives of family members and oneself are still threatened.
Zhang Dingshan nodded and agreed with Lu Ming's judgment: "So, what's your opinion?"
No one can make decisions on behalf of others when it comes to the safety of themselves and their loved ones.
He Wei shook her head: "I have no father and no mother. I grew up in an orphanage. I don't worry about them attacking my relatives. My own life... Although I don't want to die, since I joined the second team, I have done a good job. Prepare to throw your life away."
Lu Qingliang gritted his teeth, and when he was about to speak, Zhang Dingshan stopped him: "Based on the level of information obtained by that organization, they should not know your existence. You don't need to express your opinion."
Lu Qingliang shut up and remained silent.
Lu Ming thought for a while, then slowly stood up.
"Save my own life, save the lives of my family and friends, find out about this organization, and solve this incident. These three things... I want them all."
Appreciation flashed across Zhang Dingshan's eyes: "Very good."
Zhang Dingshan did not express his position from the beginning to the end, and no one asked him what his attitude was.Because everyone knew in their hearts that it was impossible for Zhang Dingshan to retreat.
No matter how big the threat is, he will not hesitate in the slightest.
Lu Ming continued: "Captain, the time you won is our only chance. The only way to catch this secret organization's feet during this paralyzed period is when they have no time to attack us and our loved ones. Only with a fatal blow can we completely guarantee the safety of us and our families.
And, from the fact that this organization intimidated us before, and then directly negotiated with us after the intimidation failed, judging from the change in their attitude, I think that our 'disturbing' behavior at the moment has already greatly affected or threatened them.There is even this possibility: they predict that if we continue to make trouble, there will be enough clues to threaten them to be grasped by us, so they are so eager. "
Zhang Dingshan nodded slightly: "There is indeed such a possibility."
He Wei murmured: "New clues? But we have conducted detailed investigations on every victim, and we really can't find any doubts..."
Lu Ming said decisively: "Wait. We can only wait. During this period of time, we will continue to make trouble, and we can even create a false impression of passive sabotage, so that the secret organization thinks that the three of us have compromised, and it is only limited to the requirements of the superior. Do not continue the investigation. Then... wait for new clues to appear!"
Next to him, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei were also watching him.
Suddenly being watched by three people at the same time, the thin young man was a little nervous and hesitant.But he still walked in front of the three of them.

Although there is a high probability that this thin man has nothing to do with our own affairs, he still needs to investigate.
