Spy Family

(Thanks to the leader: ZERO Lingchen.)

"Spies always face confession problems: how to extract a true and comprehensive confession is one problem, how to confess to the other party is another problem." The third uncle raised the two fingers of different lengths again and looked down at the silent man. Students, "Recruit when you can't bear it. It's shameful. But remember: First, don't speak too early, which will make your confession untrustworthy. Second, don't recruit them all at once, because no matter what, You will be tortured again, leaving something behind to confess, it will be good for you and the organization, at least it can buy some time to reduce losses."

After attending this class, the students agreed that Uncle San must have fallen into the hands of the enemy, suffered torture, and was forced to reveal many secrets, so he was so tolerant of the confession, including his severed finger and why he came. As a teacher, I have a reasonable explanation for this.

It wasn't until the moment when the pistol was pointed at him that Lu Linbei realized that his third uncle was not cowardly. Facing bullets that could be fired at any time, the fear was several times worse than an unexpected assassination.

He felt angry, but this anger did nothing to reduce his fear.

The other party didn't ask anything, and Lu Linbei really had nothing to confess. Otherwise, he thought he wouldn't be able to survive for long. It was hard to predict whether he would be able to do the two things that his third uncle said.

This made him feel humiliated and at the same time a little relieved. After all, he was not tortured and did not have to undergo that embarrassing test.

The knock on the door rang on time, and Ding Pulun and Cui Zhuning knew Mei Qianzhong's itinerary well.

"Who is it?" Lu Yezhou got the signal and asked, his voice steady and without any abnormalities. Ding Pulun, who was standing behind him, nodded and raised his hand to lightly press on his shoulder to show encouragement.

Half of Lu Yezhou's body went limp and he almost fell to the ground.

Ding Pullun grabbed his shoulder and hid on the other side of the door frame.

"It's me." Mei Qianzhong's voice was impatient.

"Okay, I'll open the door." Lu Yezhou's voice trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of the excitement after confirming that his life was safe.

When the door opened, Mei Qianzhong did not step in as usual. He glanced at Lu Yezhou and then at Lu Linbei sitting in the living room. He immediately realized that something was wrong and raised his hand to draw a weapon.

Ding Pulun also noticed something unusual and said, "Team Leader Qian, don't move, there's a gun pointed at you."

Mei Qianzhong froze. Ding Pulun turned to the door, gently pushed Lu Yezhou away, and said outside, "It's not easy to meet you."

Mei Qianzhong still put his hands in his arms, staring at the other party.

"Please take your hand out slowly, the other gun is pointed at you. I'm not here to kill, I just want to talk to you."

Mei Qianzhong took out his hand, thrust his palm forward, let the other party take a look, and then slowly lowered it.

"Please come in."

As soon as Mei Qianzhong entered the house, Cui Zhuning pushed the door shut, pointed the gun at his back, and the expression on his face became even more gloomy.

Mei Qianzhong turned around and glanced at Cui Zhuning, sneered and said, "What kind of training did you receive in the Cui family? Did they only teach you how to use guns?"

Ding Pulun took a few steps forward. The last step was more careful. He landed gently and stood between the two of them. He smiled and said, "I won't use a gun. I promise, as long as everyone is willing to cooperate. Team Leader Qian is so smart, he must understand." I mean."

There are several team leaders named Mei in the emergency department, so they have to be called by their first names to distinguish them.

"Tell him to hand over the gun." Cui Zhuning is not a gullible person.

Ding Pulun looked at Mei Qianzhong with a helpless expression.

Qianzhong slowly unbuttoned his clothes, letting the other party see every movement. He took out a small pistol from his arm and threw it on the ground.

Lu Linbei stared at Mei Qianzhong's every move, always expecting to see bullets flying around the next moment. He was even ready to throw himself to the ground, but nothing happened. Everything was extremely simple.

This made him a little disappointed, followed by self-deprecation. If the third uncle knew how he felt at this time, he would definitely teach him a lesson, because he actually believed the scene in the movie to be true.

Third Uncle has never told students that they can be heroic when facing danger.

Ding Pulun leaned over to pick up the gun, frowned, and held the handle of the gun with three fingers, as if it were the muddy shoes worn by a naughty child. After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly put the gun in his pocket. .

"I have to search my lower body." Cui Zhuning was still worried.

Mei Qianzhong sat on the dining chair where Lu Yezhou had been sitting before, next to Lu Linbei, crossed his right leg, and said, "Okay, Information Department Cui Zhuning single-handedly selected the four generals of the Emergency Department. You will be able to brag about it in the future. Others If you don’t believe it, Mr. Ding can testify.”

Ding Pulun was greatly embarrassed and said to Cui Zhuning: "Let me tell you. We have agreed in advance that we will not go to that point."

"Try not to go that far." Cui Zhuning did not step forward.

Ding Pulun turned to Mei Qianzhong again, "You don't have any other weapons on you?"

Mei Qianzhong frowned slightly, "I'm here to meet my team members, why do I need to bring so many weapons?"

"Okay, I believe you. There's no need for a body search, let's get down to business. I'd like to apologize to these two Mr. Lu a little, they have to go to another room to stay for a while, and..."

"No need." Mei Qianzhong shook his head, "They are my team members. They are trusted by me from beginning to end, inside and out, and they can stay here."

Ding Pulun laughed dryly, "Yes, you are all the 'Mei family'..." He looked at Cui Zhuning, and waited for the other party to nod before continuing: "Then stay, please take a seat."

Ding Pulun and Cui Zhuning sat back to their original positions. Lu Yezhou moved to Mei Qianzhong's side and stood against the wall with his hands in his pockets and his head bowed in silence, like a street gangster who had just been arrested by the police.

Cui Zhuning on the opposite side coughed. Lu Yezhou raised his head and found that the other person was looking at him. He couldn't help but feel a little confused and a little frightened. It took him a while to understand. He hurriedly took his hand out of his pocket, lowered it naturally, and still leaned on it. The wall stands, but as straight as possible.

Ding Pulun didn't care about these trivial matters and kept staring at Mei Qianzhong, "Nothing else. I'm here to ask Team Leader Qian for a favor. It's just a piece of cake for you, but it's life-saving for me and the two of us." Grace."

Mei Qianzhong seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and smiled and said: "Mr. Ding is too polite, but you don't explain the matter clearly and suddenly make such a strange request. I really don't know how to answer."

"Don't pretend to be confused." Cui Zhuning whispered, his hands kept in his pockets.

"Let me speak." Ding Pulun raised his hand to stop his companion, his tone was a little serious and he was a little unhappy.

"Sorry." Cui Zhuning nodded, indicating that he would not speak again.

Ding Pulun glanced at Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou each, "Team Leader Qian really wants to talk about it in front of the team members? Can he talk about everything, or... can he choose to talk about it?"

"Their tasks have been basically completed, and there is no need to keep it secret anymore. Moreover, since Mr. Ding is determined to break the rules, it is better to break them all."

"I didn't want to break the rules!" Ding Pulun suddenly became irritable, startling the unsuspecting Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou.

Soon, Ding Pulun calmed down and smiled again on his face, "I have no choice but to reach this point. Team leader Qian feels that there is no need to keep it secret, so I will start from the beginning. Oh, I want to explain one thing first, These two Mr. Lu are very loyal to Team Leader Qian, and they also had no choice but to cooperate with us."

"I understand who they are. Mr. Ding, please tell me your own story." Mei Qianzhong interrupted.

"It starts with the barber, the person who could inherit the new planet." Ding Pulun often looked at Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou when he spoke, because they were the only two people in the room who knew almost nothing about the causes and consequences.

"The Star Alliance decided to hand over the new planet to a private heir. As soon as Zhai Wangxing's representative got the news, he passed it to the joint committee. Of course, the joint committee understood the importance of this matter and decided to send people to protect the heir. The police would definitely not be able to do it because the news was not yet available. There was no official announcement, so I found the General Intelligence Bureau, which assigned the tasks to the Emergency Department and the Information Department. I don’t need to explain the relationship between these parties, right?"

The two major spy agencies, the Emergency Department and the Information Department, are nominally under the General Administration of Meteorology, but are actually under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Intelligence. Not many people know about it, but they are not considered top secret, at least not to the Mei family.

When no one responded, Ding Pulun continued: "The person sent by the Information Department is Mr. Cui, and I am sent by the Emergency Department. People are sent from both sides for balance, because the superiors also know that the two departments are at odds. In fact, I am not very good at it personally. I don't care about this kind of departmental dispute, I just accept the task..."

"Why didn't the Emergency Department send Mei's family to carry out the mission?" Lu Linbei interjected a question, which attracted the attention of several other people, especially Lu Yezhou, who had a flash of panic on his face, obviously thinking that his companion's behavior was inappropriate.

Ding Pulun paused in surprise for a while, then smiled and said to Mei Qianzhong: "This member of your team is very interesting. I hope to cooperate directly with him if I have the opportunity in the future."

"Well, there will always be opportunities." Mei Qianzhong replied with a smile.

"Because the Mei and Cui families were arguing too much, the superiors were worried about causing trouble, so they sent me, a person with no background, to come forward."

"But you are an analyst, not an investigator." Lu Linbei refused to shut up.

Ding Pulun looked a little impatient and a little annoyed, "Because there is a weird rule that analysts must have experience as an investigator, but I don't have it, so I need to make up for it. How about it? Are you satisfied? I haven't done this before. Investigator, this is the first time, so what? I'm still one of the best analysts in the Emergency Division, as evidenced by my promotion to mid-level."

"Indeed, I can also testify that the director and deputy director appreciate Mr. Ding, otherwise they would not assign such an important task to him." Mei Qianzhong showed that look on his face for the first time since he entered the room. He had an expression that was both innocent and wanting to be beaten. The listener knew clearly that the words contained sarcasm, but they just couldn't get angry about it.

Ding Pulun laughed it off, "Anyway, the task fell to me. Although Mr. Cui and I did not cooperate, we each performed our duties and did a good job. After the first batch of news came out, the barber was not stupid and immediately thought When it comes to myself, my face changes, and I end the business early. When I come out at night, I have obviously regarded myself as the heir, and I am looking for drinks everywhere. I was very worried at the time, afraid that he would talk nonsense, but fortunately, although he was not strict with his words , but didn’t mention the heir.”

"To make a long story short, the barber was assassinated, and the murderer used a spy weapon——" Ding Pulun's face changed at every turn. One moment he was pleasant, but suddenly it was clouded. He raised his voice and made more gestures. "Who can do this kind of thing?" It was unexpected, but all the blame and pressure fell on me and Mr. Cui. This is not fair, even if the chairman of the Joint Committee is standing here, I have to say, this is not fair!"

No one raised any objections. Ding Pulun's chest rose and fell several times, then gradually calmed down, and continued: "More than three months have passed since the incident, and Team Leader Qian has been targeting the assassins, but he has been unwilling to close the net. Mr. Cui and I agree I think Team Leader Qian, or to put it bluntly, the Mei family, has ulterior motives in this matter and wants to divert trouble eastward."

Ding Pulun looked at Lu Linbei, "The Mei family is like this. They never miss any opportunity to suppress their opponents, and they are not merciful to their own people. For example, you were created as the new heir to attract assassins."

Lu Linbei was surprised, not because of the Mei family's methods, but because he didn't understand that the person the assassin was targeting was clearly Lu Yezhou, how could it be him?
