Veteran

When Cao Yu found Lu Shuisheng, he was dropping out of school to play games.The boy nestled in the corner of the old game machine room, with two inferior sensors stuck to his temples, and his dirty feet were half on flip-flops and half on the ground.The T-shirt on my body looks like a ball of paper that someone has crumpled, and there is a rancid smell of expired food when I get close, and my messy hair can build a nest directly when swallows come.Such an image is far from the witty child in Cheng Xiu's mind.

"Lu Shuisheng?"

Cao Yu yelled several times before he turned his head in a daze: "Who are you?"

Cao Yu took out some money and said, "I need you for something."

Lu Shuisheng impatiently took out a wad of money from his pocket: "Don't bother me."

Cheng Xiu burst out laughing.

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and took out another stack from his pocket.

Lu Shuisheng looked at the denomination of the money, then at his face, nodded: "Okay, let's go out and talk."

Cheng Xiu noticed that something was wrong with his face, she agreed to go out with her mouth, but her eyes were aimed at the direction of the back door intentionally or unintentionally.So when Lu Shuisheng took advantage of Cao Yu's turn and ran away, Cheng Xiu stretched out his legs silently.

Lu Shuisheng stumbled and fell to the ground, Cheng Xiu was also brought down by his forward force.

Cao Yu rushed to pull him, but he got up without saying a word.

"Let's see how he is doing first." Cheng Xiu's face was normal, and when Cao Yu lowered his head to pull Lu Shuisheng, his face twisted quickly, and his right hand furtively rubbed his buttocks.Thomas, that hit was too hard just now!

Cao Yu grabbed Lu Shui and got up: "What are you running for?"

Lu Shuisheng gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Guangshan collected the money, it's useless for you to look for me."

Cao Yu dragged him out, and when he passed by Xiu, he said softly, "If it's not convenient for you to massage yourself, you can find me."

Cheng Xiu said: "...I do three laps on the left and three laps on the right, it's very convenient!"

Cao Yu looked back regretfully.Lu Shuisheng took the opportunity to struggle, and was immediately taught a lesson by pinching the acupuncture points on his joints before he became honest.

Taking him to a nearby park, Cao Yu rubbed his skin vigorously in the sink.He is not a clean freak, and he often went to the mountains and the countryside when he was working, but the black, greasy and unidentifiable things on his hands are disgusting!

After he washed his hands, Cheng Xiu chatted with Lu Shuisheng, seemingly unaffected by the smell on his body: "Why don't you go to school? Is it because you can't keep up with your studies? Or do they think you smell bad? You are still young. When you can wash, you should take a bath more, and when you get older, you can’t wash even if you want to.”

Lu Shuisheng was crushed by his chanting: "Who are you! You care so much about me?"

"I'm Lele." Cheng Xiu cupped her face and showed a cute smile.

A cute face can really be a bridge of communication sometimes.Lu Shuisheng, who had an impatient face just now, saw Cheng Xiu's appearance, his face relaxed a lot: "Do you live near my house?"

Cheng Xiu said, "I'm Sang Le."

"Sang Le?" Lu Shuisheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly jumped onto a chair in the park and looked at him in horror, "You are Sang Le? The one who drowned?"

Cheng Xiu said, "I didn't drown, I'm back again."

Lu Shuisheng was about to cry: "You, what are you doing back here! Let's be friends, go away."

Cheng Xiu: "..." This is really a friend, there is no second match.

When Cao Yu came back after washing his hands, he tried to convince Lu Shuisheng that Cheng Xiu in front of him was a human being and not a ghost.

Lu Shuisheng looked at Cheng Xiu with a miraculous expression: "I clearly saw you sinking."

Cheng Xiu said, "I don't know, anyway, someone rescued me later."

Cao Yu briefly described his experience, and Lu Shuisheng was amazed: "I thought I was unlucky enough to be sold once, but I didn't expect you to be even more unlucky."

Cheng Xiu said, "How are you doing now?"

Lu Shuisheng's expression was flat: "There's nothing wrong with it, I'll live it up. Anyway, I'll be independent in two years, so I can do whatever I like by then."

Cao Yu asked, "What did you say about your stepfather taking money?"

Lu Shuisheng rolled his eyes: "He's in debt, I'll ask them to ask Yang Guangshan for it."

Cao Yu originally guessed this way, but seeing his demeanor, he felt that the matter was not that simple.He said: "I accompanied Lele to find you, mainly to retrieve his childhood memories. He has always been worried about his disappearance."

Lu Shuisheng immediately said: "What is lost is his cousin and aunt who sold him. They all want the traffickers to sell us for a share of the money, but the bad luck will not be good! In the end, there is nothing!"

Cao Yu chatted with him for a while, but he still couldn't figure out what money Yang Guangshan had received.Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Lu Shuisheng was anxious to go home, so Cao Yu had to send him back first.

On the way, Lu Shuisheng vividly described to Cheng Xiu the situation of being kidnapped back then, from the clothes of the traffickers to their conversation, everything was detailed, just like a short story.

Cheng Xiu asked curiously, "Do you really remember all of them?"

Lu Shuisheng laughed and said, "How is that possible? But the police and the TV station both ask for details, and if you don't do it once, you will ask twice. I was annoyed by the question, so I just made up a set."

Cheng Xiu said, "Then you remember me?"

Lu Shuisheng said: "Of course I remember. Among those children, I am the oldest and you are the youngest. They want me to hold you and take care of you. It is my fault if you cry, hungry and pee. You will be beaten. Don't talk about your face, just I even remember the little mole on your arm clearly. Let me see if it is this arm."

Cao Yu's face changed slightly, he blocked Lu Shuisheng without a trace, pointed to the front and said, "Which way are you going?"

Lu Shuisheng's attention was diverted, and he quickly avoided the topic.

Cao Yu jokingly asked him if he had left Sang Le's diaper after being Sang Le's nanny for so long.

Lu Shuisheng looked disgusted: "As soon as I came up from the sea, I changed from the inside to the outside. I don't want to keep anything there. Lele, I don't dislike you, it's just that experience, that experience... ..." He fell silent slowly.No matter how lighthearted he was to tease him, it couldn't change the pain that experience brought to him.

The road in the second half was much quieter. When he approached the house, Lu Shuisheng saw the lights in the room, his expression changed, and he said with a dry smile, "Yang Guangshan is at home today, so it's inconvenient to entertain you. Let's go to the game room to find me another day." , I will take you to eat delicious food. Please."

The door of the house opened suddenly, and a man in a black fur coat and big sunglasses that covered half of his face poked his head out and waved to Lu Shuisheng: "Shuisheng is back, is this your friend? Come on, your dad has already done it." Dinner is ready, let's come in and eat together."

He tried his best to express a kind attitude, but both Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu felt murderous and cold from this man.

Cao Yu was trying to find an excuse to take Lu Shuisheng away, when Lu Shuisheng greeted him happily: "Uncle Guan, you are here!" He turned to Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu, "Uncle Guan is here, come in and eat."

Cao Huang shook his head: "We have an appointment, let's try another day."

Lu Shuisheng was a little regretful, he didn't have many friends, and there were fewer chances to bring them home, but he quickly put away his smile and waved to them: "I remember seeing you at the old place!"

Watching Lu Shuisheng and the man in leather clothes enter the house, Cheng Xiu and Cao Tong stood there for a while.

Cao Yu said, "That man seems to be a mercenary."

"It's more like a special operations force," Cheng Xiu said.

But this is all about Lu Shuisheng's own family.What Cao Yu is worried about now is that Lu Shuisheng actually remembers the little mole on Sang Le's arm.He thought for a while: "Go and add a mole."

Cheng Xiu didn't object this time: "Okay."

Cao Yu walked away for a while, but was a little bit unwilling: "Bai Yu was flawless..."

"Bow your head!" Cheng Xiu shouted suddenly, and at the same time pulled Cao Yu to run.

Cao Yu lowered his head without hesitation, a gust of wind brushed his hair and flew over, landing on a metal box not far in front, making a "ding" sound.

Someone shot him!

He picked up Cheng Xiu and ran away.

The sound of eager footsteps came from behind, and the opponent would never be able to run away.Cheng Xiu's eyes were cold, and he took out a small-caliber pistol from Cao Yu's pocket, and shot at a family's Fengshui fish tank outside.

The other party saw that he was young and was aiming in the wrong direction, so he didn't care, until the water splashed into his eyes, and he closed his eyes subconsciously. hide.But Cheng Xiu's bullet was one step ahead, and an iron can collapsed and rolled into his feet. At the moment when his body was weightless, he shot him in the head!

The three shots he fired were extremely fast, and his calculations were extremely accurate. It was a sophisticated serial trap, but it was completed in just an instant.When the man was shot and fell to the ground, Cheng Xiu put away the pistol and put it in Cao Tong's pocket.

Cao Huang paused slightly, looked back, then sped up and ran out of the alley, got into the crowd, walked for a while, and then slowly relaxed.He looked at Cheng Xiu with complicated eyes: "How do you know I have a gun in my pocket?"

"I can smell it." Cheng Xiu said with a little pride, "I knew it when I gave you my bald head."

Cao Yu said: "I thought your mecha was good." So after waking up, he practiced his mecha hard, hoping to fight side by side with him one day, but when he really encountered something, he found that he was far from enough He is about six years older than Cheng Xiu. The "I'll protect you" vow suddenly becomes ridiculous.He was down.

Cheng Xiu rolled his eyes at him: "Otherwise, how do you think I survived until the age of 39 before being assassinated?"

Cao Yu hugged his arm tightly again.

Cheng Xiu patted his head: "Don't think about it, what we have to think about now is how to find Lu Shuisheng."

Cao Yu asked, "Are you sure it was sent by the man in the fur coat?"

Cheng Xiu said: "The man's dodging posture just now is a training action of the special operations force."

Cao Hong's face darkened.The position of the Special Operations Forces has been very delicate, moving between the military and the government.Back then, in order to force the military to hand over Lin Ying, he changed the name of the Special Operations Force to the Special Operations Group on the grounds that Lin Ying was seriously injured, and transferred it to the President's Office.Later, Jiang Xianglan gained power and proposed that the special operations team return to the orthodoxy of the military department. Unfortunately, he was shot dead by his father-in-law not long after, and the matter was left alone.

Therefore, if the special operations team helps the evildoers and seeks to get to the bottom of it, he will also bear part of the responsibility.

In trouble, call the police.

Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu found the two policemen who brought Aunt Sang Le to him, and asked them to contact Lu Shuisheng.The little friends who were in trouble together reunited after being separated for six years. The picture is also touching when you think about it.

Two policemen took them on this trip despite not being part of their call of duty.The alley was still the same as yesterday, dark and damp, but when he got near Lu Shuisheng's house, he saw a group of residents gathered there and whispered.

Two police officers pushed aside the crowd: "What's going on?"

A group of policemen went in and out of Lu Shuisheng's house to carry the dead body.

Cheng Xiu was held in Cao Yu's arms, condescending, and could see clearly.There were three corpses in total, a middle-aged woman, a middle-aged man, and one, Lu Shuisheng.

The two policemen had already chatted with their colleagues, and after exchanging information with each other, Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu were called over.A fat policeman wiped the sweat from his brow and routinely asked them if they knew the deceased and if they had met before death.

Cao Yu said, "I met you yesterday evening."

The fat policeman stopped his hands and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you come here to find him after being separated for many years?"

Cao Yu said: "That's right, but we saw it yesterday in the game machine room." There were many people in the game machine room, and there must be witnesses to their finding Lu Shuisheng, which must be admitted.Fortunately, he has checked the monitoring network of Mine Star, and there is very little monitoring in Area F. There are only two intersections in the residential area. No one found out that Cheng Xiu shot the killer yesterday.

The fat policeman said: "Then why do you still want to find the policeman? Do you know something?"

Cao Yu said: "Lele and I sent him home yesterday, and saw a very fierce-looking man in his house. Shuisheng seemed a little afraid of him. We thought about it and felt uneasy, so we wanted to ask the police to come and have a look. "

The fat policeman said to the policeman next to him, "Do facial extraction."

Cao Hong frowned slightly. Face scanning is to extract the static faces in people's memory. It is one of the biggest scientific research achievements in the past 100 years. He has never tried it, and he is a little bit conflicted.

The two policemen who came with him took turns to comfort him, and finally took him there.After a while, the extracted photos came out. Cao Yu took a look and found that the clarity was not high, and there were discrepancies with his memory. He was even more disappointed with the 100 years of scientific research.

The fat policeman was questioning whether anything happened nearby in the past two days, when a young policeman said: "A family lost a Feng Shui fish tank."

The fat policeman said angrily: "What I want to know is the information of the murderer and the victim! Have you seen any strangers coming in, where the victim usually likes to go, who has been in contact with! I don't have time to care about theft cases!"

The young policeman left in despair.

The passage ignored by the fat policeman gave Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu a message - the killer's body was disposed of and not found.

After Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu returned to the homestay, they were told not to leave in the near future, and the police would come to ask questions at any time. After all, it seems that they were probably the last witnesses to see the victim.

After staying for three days, the police came to the door twice with the same questions. On the fourth day, the deadline agreed with Cao Qizhi was approaching, and they had to leave no matter what. The bald black man who came was about to leave, but he saw the bald black man come in nervously: "I can't go anymore, the planet is under martial law!"

Cao Hong frowned.It's not a time of war, and the Layden galaxy is close to the heart of the star country, and it doesn't border with other countries. The only possibility of martial law is political turmoil.He turned on the computer and searched for news about martial law. He just saw a message saying "a large number of armed policemen have settled in Xingguo", and when he refreshed it, the message disappeared.

"I got a piece of news." Even though there were only three people in the room, the bald black man couldn't help lowering his voice, "The president's accident has something to do with Area F. Someone was drinking and bragging, saying that he was going to bring down the president."

Something happened to the president?

Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu glanced at each other, and they both thought of the election fraud case.After repeated interference and protests from the President's Office, the Legislative Assembly finally decided to enter the presidential impeachment process-as long as the president is not directly removed from office, there is something to be done.

If the news about black bald heads is true, the problematic ballots are likely to be in District F.

The votes of other political parties are generally not tampered with.Because these voters care about the results, after voting, they may use a computer to check again, and vote changes are easy to find.The least likely to be detected is the voters who abstained directly - they never cared about politics, did not participate in any political-related activities, and probably never cared in their lives whether they voted in elections or voted for who.

People in Area F fit the above conditions very well.

They are poor, lazy, unmotivated, indifferent to current affairs, and will never waste their time on politics.

Of course, once discovered, they are also the most likely to come out to appeal.For them, protest and compensation are equated, and they had to find something to do if they had nothing to do before, let alone such a big matter.

Once this assumption is established, there will be an explanation for the special operations team that appeared at Lu Shuisheng's home, the deaths of Lu Shuisheng and Yang Guangshan, and the people who hunted them down.

Suppose: Yang Guangshan is also a "voted" voter and he found out about it.

Solution: In order for the president to get through the impeachment case safely, the office is likely to buy him off and let him change his confession.This is why Lu Shuisheng said "Yang Guangshan is the one who collects the money".

Yang Guangshan changed his confession as he wished, but continued to blackmail him, so the overwhelmed president issued a "kill order".Who did it?Of course, it is the special operations group directly under the office of the president.

Back then, in order to let the special operations team voluntarily leave the military, he used the power of the Cao family in the Legislative Council to pass an "executive exemption law", which opened a way for executive agencies that violated the law by accepting orders from their superiors.

Now, this way of life turned into a boulder, hitting heavily on his instep.

There is another doubt.Lu Shuisheng obviously mistook them for someone else, and wanted to run away when they met. That person was not the president but knew about Yang Guangshan's confession...he was the president's political enemy.

Yang Guangshan may not have been blackmailed and killed. It is more likely that the president found out that he was being targeted by his opponent, and he was worried about becoming a witness of the opponent and killed him.

Cao Yu had already figured out the context of what the black bald man said.

Cheng Xiu asked, "When will the martial law end? Wasn't there a notice?"

The bald black man said: "It's still quiet, but the ports have been closed, and the waterways inside the planet are also prohibited."

Cheng Xiu asked: "Is the road from Daoyi Street to Hengfu Plaza okay?"

The bald black man was a little puzzled: "You can go. But Hengfu Plaza is just a square."

Cheng Xiu said: "There are delicious seafood noodles and flower cakes there." I can't leave anyway, and of course I want to make the time I stay more meaningful.

The bald black man looked at Cao Yu speechlessly.

He misjudged the person. On this kind of issue, Cao Yu has always supported Cheng Xiu unconditionally.

The black man with a bald head reminded: "I don't know how long the planet will be under martial law. Do you have enough money?" Every time Cao Tong took out a wad of money from his pocket, he was worried that it would be the last wad.

Cao Yu said to Cheng Xiu, "Whether I have enough money is my concern. You only need to worry about whether you have enough money."

After four hours of martial law, the leader of the ball finally came out to speak, explaining that a group of wanted star thieves had infiltrated the planet, and the martial law was to facilitate the police from the Central Galaxy General Police Department to hunt down.

Of course, such a clumsy reason cannot be concealed from those who are interested, but it is enough for most people on the planet.Sometimes they don't want a reasonable explanation, but an attitude willing to explain.

That night, the B&B was knocked on the door again by the police. The fat policeman came and took them directly to the interrogation room of the Planetary Police Headquarters by car.

They sat for a while, drinking half a glass of orange juice and a plate of cookies, and finally came in.He is a little old man, with a height of 1.6 meters [-] by visual inspection. He is classified as a second-class disabled person in Xingguo. His face is covered with a thin layer of powder to cover age spots, but it floats slightly due to sweating, and his hair is dyed black and shiny. It is also combed meticulously, which is very spiritual.

Most of Xingguo didn't know this person, but Cao Yu had been introduced by Cao Qizhi.One of the pillars of the Pang family's generation, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Pang Heyuan.

He is here, which shows that the current president really won't be long.

Although in Cao Yu's plan, sooner or later he would be exposed to the party forces and political struggles of Xingguo, but this day was too early, and it was not his wish to attract the attention of all parties too early.

Pang Heyuan glanced at the pastry plate and asked kindly: "Are the biscuits delicious?"

Cheng Xiu said, "I can kill three more games."

So there were really three extra plates on the table.

Although Pang Heyuan has a big background, he spoke very politely, and he did not despise them at all because of their young age: "I have heard about your experience, which is very admirable. The tempering of childhood is the wealth of adulthood. Turning negative emotions into positive forces is not far from success."

Cheng Xiu said while eating: "When I am full, my body is full of positive energy."

Pang Heyuan laughed loudly: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here for a day, I won't starve you."

"..." Cao Yu said slowly in a gentle and polite tone, "I was responsible for feeding him."
