Spy Family

Chapter 117 The Flame of Revenge

Lu Linbei was sleeping soundly when he was pushed awake by Chen Manchi.

"There's a knock on the door," she said.

Sure enough, there were several more rapid knocks on the door. Lu Linbei got out of bed, found the electric shock stick, walked to the door, and asked, "Who is it?"

"leaf."

Lu Linbei breathed a sigh of relief, put down the electric shock baton, opened the door and said, "What time is it?"

"Don't worry about the time, follow me to the office immediately."

Lu Yezhou's voice was more serious than ever before. Lu Linbei knew something was wrong and nodded, "I'll get dressed."

"What happened?" Chen Manchi asked softly on the bed.

Lu Linbei quickly dressed, leaned over and kissed Chen Manchi gently on the face, "Please wait for me to call you regarding the Secretary's matters."

"Yeah." Chen Manchi grabbed Lu Linbei's arm and kissed him on the face.

The two of them took Lu Yezhou's car to the Emergency Department.

"What's going on?" Lu Linbei asked.

"I received an order to take you to the department. I don't know anything else." Lu Yezhou's voice was actually a little cold.

Lu Linbei didn't ask any more questions and checked the time. It was two-thirteen in the middle of the night.

Except for the guards, there was no one in the emergency department, and the lights in all the rooms visible from the outside were not turned on.

Lu Linbei was taken to a room in the basement. He recognized this place. He had been detained here when the old director died unexpectedly and when Mei Wangzhen arrested the extremists.

Lu Yezhou stood at the door like a guard. Lu Linbei sat down and remained silent for a long time before asking, "Did something happen to the old man?"

"I have no idea……"

Lu Linbei had already thought very clearly that if something happened to others, he would not be treated like this. Only Mei Qianzhong, who participated in the negotiations together yesterday afternoon, would be implicated.

"Timing is everything. The earlier I know, the more helpful it will be to solve the problem."

Lu Yezhou glanced at it and saw that this room was under surveillance. He couldn't say anything more, "I'm going to ask for permission."

"Ask Third Uncle for instructions."

Lu Yezhou showed a wry smile, opened the door and went out.

Something happened to his third uncle too. Lu Linbei's heart skipped a beat and he began to speculate: Cui family? Huang family? Famous king star? King? More than a dozen suspected targets can be identified.

Lu Yezhou came in, "Director Xue will be here soon."

By convention, Deputy Director Mei Boxue is called "Director Xue."

Five minutes later, she arrived, bringing with her two investigators whom Lu Linbei was not familiar with.

"Yesterday afternoon, you accompanied Mei Qianzhong to meet with the Cui family?" As soon as they entered the room, Mei Boxue began to ask questions. Aging leaves weakness on others, but it only makes her more severe.

"yes."

"Tell me the process in detail, don't leave out any details, including the content of your chat."

Lu Linbei started telling the story when he left home, not even hiding the bet between Mei Qianzhong and Mei Wang.

After listening to what he said, Mi Boxue's expression softened slightly, "In the hotel, you go upstairs to check the room first?"

"Yes, Li Qingyou from the Information Department will come up in about two minutes."

"Are you checking separately?"

"Check each other."

"Have you checked the rooms above, below, left and right?"

"I didn't go into the house to check. I checked with instruments and found no abnormalities."

"Neither you nor Mei Wangzhen thought about checking that female tenant?"

Lu Linbei thought for a while, "I didn't see the female tenant. Moreover, for the con man, this is nothing new. It has happened before. We did not check it, and the con man would not allow us to check it."

Of course, Mei Qianzhong had heard about Mei Qianzhong's reputation, so he didn't ask any more questions, said "very good", and turned to leave.

Lu Linbei stood up and said: "No matter what happens, please let me participate in the investigation. I will not let Si Li down. My previous achievements are enough to prove this."

Lu Linbei had to be direct. He didn't have the time or energy to understand the situation from the side.

Mei Boxue looked at Lu Linbei again, "You haven't completely gotten rid of the suspicion yet."

"So what? I can't run away. And since it has happened, no matter whether I am suspected or not, there is no secret to reveal."

Lu Yezhou couldn't help but said: "I believe Lao Bei, he will never..."

After being glanced at by the deputy director, Lu Yezhou hurriedly shut up.

"Things will come to light soon. Just wait a little longer."

Lu Linbei waited not long. Within half an hour, Lu Yezhou opened the door and said, "Come with me, Lao Bei, you are free."

When he came to the corridor, before Lu Linbei could ask, Lu Yezhou said: "The old man... was killed."

Although he had already guessed that this would be the result, Lu Linbei's heart still sank involuntarily, and sank again, and he could not utter a word for a long time.

Lu Yezhou didn't say anything and took Lu Linbei to Mei Qianzhong's office on the second floor.

Mei Wangzhen was sitting in the room in a daze. She didn't hear the sound of anyone coming in and remained motionless. Even if the two of them were sitting next to her, she didn't react.

"How did it happen?" Lu Linbei was finally able to speak.

Mei Wangzhen was startled, raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and quickly lowered his eyes again, still not out of shock and sluggishness.

Lu Yezhou said: "I only know roughly that after you and Sister Zhen left, the con man returned to the room and was assassinated not long after. At about eleven o'clock, the waiter found the door ajar. After entering, he saw the body on the ground and was shot four times. , all in the chest."

"The female tenant..."

"She is the only clue. The investigation is ongoing and the results should be available soon."

"Where is the third uncle?" This is what Lu Linbei is most concerned about.

"I don't know, and I can't contact him. Director Xue is now in charge of all affairs in the department."

Mei Wangzhen raised his head again, and spoke in a dull and hollow voice, "The con man is dead, and we two are suspects. What else can the third uncle do? Just like Mei Yongge, he must be responsible for this. He has lost power."

Lu Yezhou advised: "After Mei Yongge got into trouble for the first time, he still has a chance to make a comeback and become the boss, third uncle..."

Mei Wangzhen's eyes finally showed emotion, it was the anger that could swallow everything, "The Cui family assassinated the con man, and the third uncle mistakenly trusted the Cui family. Such a big mistake, can Mei Yongge compare to it?"

Lu Yezhou was speechless.

Once Mei Wangzhen came to his senses, his anger grew rapidly and even turned towards himself, "But I am the most stupid person. I didn't see through the real identity of the female tenant. She was so obviously seducing the con man... It must be the Cui family." It was arranged! That’s why they agreed to cooperate and showed weakness. Everything was a bait, and I actually swallowed it in one gulp.”

"We." Lu Linbei interjected, remembering what Professor Qiao said about "one step forward, one step back", "none of us has any doubts."

Mei Wangzhen looked at Lu Linbei, "It's different. You only occasionally participate in these things, but I follow you all the way. The responsibility is mine. I should be more vigilant..."

Mei Boxue opened the door and came in, "We will decide who is responsible later. Now is the time to launch revenge."

Lu Yezhou roared, and Mei Wangzhen immediately said: "Please let me..."

Mei Boxue waved her hand to stop Mei Wangzhen from continuing.

Lu Linbei said nothing because he felt that the evidence was not sufficient and now was not the best time for revenge.

Several regional team leaders and related team leaders came in one after another. No one said a word, just nodded. They were all subordinates of Mei Qianzhong and close confidants of Mei Boxue.

Everyone has arrived, Mei Boxue said: "The matter is very clear. The female tenant who seduced the con man was hired by the Cui family. She used a fake chip to check in. Her true identity has been found out. There is an income in her account. It was transferred from a company affiliated with the Cui family. Mei Yinghuan, you are responsible for this matter, and you want a confession, not someone else."

"Yes, my people are watching her and can take action at any time." Mei Yinghuan replied firmly.

"The three people the Cui family went to negotiate with are all targets. Mei Yueqing and Li Qingyou are yours."

Mei Yue Qing hummed, but Lu Yezhou responded with a heavy "Yes". He now belonged to Mei Yue Qing.

"What about me?" Mei Wangzhen was a little anxious.

Mei Boxue stared at her for a while, "Cui Yangzong, this is a tough nut to crack. He has gone into hiding. We haven't found his whereabouts yet."

Cui Yangzong is a team leader of the Information Department. Mei Wangzhen, the representative of the Cui family during yesterday's negotiation, nodded immediately, "Give me a day and I will find him."

Mei Boxue's eyes turned to Lu Linbei, "The old man values ​​you very much, so I will give you a chance. Cui Zhuning, can you win?"

Lu Linbei could have agreed immediately like everyone else. He had many reasons to do so, but there was one reason that made him hesitate.

"Do you think you are no match for Cui Zhuning?" Mei Boxue became stern, "Of course I won't let you carry out the mission alone, and I will arrange helpers for you."

"Where is your third uncle?" Lu Linbei knew that this simple question might ruin his career, but he had to ask clearly.

"There is no need to inform you where Meili Tao is going. Do you think I am not qualified to command you?"

Lu Linbei lowered his head slightly to avoid Mei Boxue's aggressive gaze, "I think things are not that simple."

"Simple? Where is it simple?"

"The old man is one of the core figures in the cooperation between the two companies. The Cui family has no reason to kill him at this time. If he must take action, he should not use such direct means."

Mei Boxue sneered: "There are many enemies between the old man and the Cui family, especially Cui Zhuning. I hate him to the core. Is this a sufficient reason? As for the means, you can't just say that because we solved the case too quickly, The opponent is direct, if Mei Yinghuan hadn't found the female tenant in the shortest possible time, things might have become complicated."

"At least obtain the female tenant's confession first. After the evidence is conclusive..."

"There isn't that much time." Mei Boxue's expression became more and more serious. "It has to be today and tomorrow. It may change tomorrow, so today is the only time. If you don't want to participate, it doesn't matter. Your surname is not Mei. I can understand."

Just as Lu Linbei was about to defend himself, Mei Boxue had transferred the task to one of his team leaders, and then said: "Cui Yangzong and Cui Zhuning are acting under orders. Someone in the Cui family must be responsible for this. I will handle this." Something. Those of you groups, those who find the target, keep an eye on it, and those who don’t find it, do it as soon as possible. Wait for my order, don’t alert the enemy, all actions must be carried out at the same time, do you understand? "

Everyone agreed.

"Let's go." Mei Boxue ordered.

After everyone left, no one looked at Lu Linbei. Only Mei Boxue was still staring at him.

Lu Linbei knew he couldn't leave.

"You have a secret to reveal now." Mei Boxue said coldly, paused for a moment, and continued: "Isn't the old man your best friend?"

Silence seemed to be the only option, but Lu Linbei couldn't hold it back, "Because of this, I hope to be clear about my revenge."

"I have to wonder whether it was you who recruited an enemy female spy, or whether you were recruited into it."

"This matter has nothing to do with her. She is not from the Cui family and never has been."

"Spies don't believe in coincidences. Until I investigate clearly, you have to stay in the department until then."

Lu Linbei only had one hope and one doubt left: Where did his third uncle go? If such a big thing happened, even if he had to take on leadership responsibilities, he wouldn't disappear from the Emergency Department so quickly.
