Spy Family

Lu Linbei was unlucky. Not long after he arrived at Jiazi Star, he was made things difficult by his old subordinates. For Gui Shangbai, this moment was a kind of enjoyment. He showed a cold smile on his face and said: "Don't think that I It's a personal revenge, I'm just performing my duties normally, I happen to know you and know a little bit about your past and career, so I can make a reasonable guess."

"I will also give you a reasonable explanation." Lu Linbei smiled.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Cui Zhuning leaned over and said, "We are here to attend the seminar. We are diplomats and have immunity. You can check."

"Of course, you must have diplomatic status, and I will definitely check it. Identity chip." Gui Shangbai's tone was mocking at first, and then became stern.

Since more and more people have removed the chip from their body, it has also been called "identity chip". It can be installed in many accessories and is still a necessity.

The chips of Lu Linbei and Cui Zhuning were both in their bracelets. They stretched out their arms one after another. Gui Shangbai checked it with the instrument unhurriedly. It took him two or three minutes to complete what could be done in a few seconds, and finally said: " Diplomatic status confirmed, I can let you go, but I want to remind you: I will write this meeting in the report. After all, the appearance of two 'diplomats' on such a special occasion is questionable. "

Cui Zhuning said: "Is this necessary? You used to be from King Zhai too."

Gui Shangbai smiled and said: "Why do you think I gave up my status as a resident of Zhaiwang Star and joined Jiazi Star? But don't talk about personal matters, let's take care of business."

Cui Zhuning wanted to speak, but Lu Linbei stopped him with a wink, and then said: "I just said that I will give you a reasonable explanation."

"Well, I'm waiting."

"It's not convenient to talk here. Can you move to another place?"

Gui Shangbai frowned and said, "I'm on duty."

"No rush, we can wait for you, right in front of you...'Triple Sunset' bar, how about it?"

"As police officers, we do not accept private banquets from parties involved." Gui Shangbai said coldly.

"This is not a banquet. My companion and I just need to take a rest. We were stuck in traffic for too long and are a little tired."

Gui Shangbai looked hesitant and embarrassed.

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "It's just a few words. You are an excellent policeman. You will be wary when you see something unusual, but you don't have to be too vigilant and cause trouble to the other party and yourself. My explanation is for you. If you don't agree, you can still write your report as usual, if you think it's reasonable..."

"Okay, you guys go to the bar and wait for me. I'll come find you in about half an hour." Gui Shangbai finally relented.

Lu Linbei nodded and said to Cui Zhuning, "Let's go have a drink."

Cui Zhuning felt that it was not necessary, and after thinking for a while, he reluctantly said: "Okay."

The two got off the car and walked to a bar not far away. Gui Shangbai returned to his original position and continued to direct traffic.

"He used to be your subordinate?" Cui Zhuning asked after finding a seat in the bar.

"Well, he was my team member for a few months in this city."

"Then he should be an investigator from the Military Intelligence Department, earlier? From which department?"

"Emergency Department."

"Hey." Cui Zhuning didn't want to comment on this matter, but instead said: "Is it necessary to please him? A traitor of Zhai Wangxing is just a small policeman here. There is nothing we can do against him, even if we write It doesn’t matter if you report it, we are using our real names, Jiazixing’s intelligence agency must have known about it for a long time, and there may be a follower hiding nearby at this moment.”

Cui Zhuning took a quick glance. Even with many years of experience, he couldn't see anyone worthy of suspicion.

"There's no harm in having a chat with him. Maybe he's still doing what he's doing."

"Working as an investigator for Jiazi Star to spy on the home planet? Then he is a traitor to the extreme."

"It's just a possibility. If I were the head of Jiazixing Intelligence Agency, I would never recruit this person, so it is possible that he is really just a policeman, so it would be good to have a chat and learn about the local customs."

Cui Zhuning smiled and said, "Okay, you make the decision in everything. I will be your 'bodyguard' with peace of mind."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm still waiting for Director Cui's instructions to tell me when the mission will officially begin."

"Don't worry, I'm also waiting for orders from above." Cui Zhuning smiled and quickly changed the subject, talking about the wine he just took a sip of, "The wine in Jiazixing is worse than I expected. Why is the wine in the hotel better?" It’s expensive, but the taste is not as good as the bar on the street?”

"This is an issue worth discussing, and it may contain huge business opportunities."

The two chatted casually and never mentioned work matters.

In less than half an hour, Gui Shangbai came in, put on casual clothes, walked straight to the two of them, sat down opposite Lu Linbei, and ordered a glass of wine. After a few seconds, the middle area of ​​the table flipped, and a glass of wine appeared. .

Gui Shangbai picked up the cup and took a long sip, then turned to look at Cui Zhuning beside him, "I remember who you are."

"Oh? Have we met?"

"I haven't seen it, but I used to work in the Emergency Department and heard of your name. Cui Zhuning from the Information Department often fought against the Emergency Department. The Mei family hates you to the core."

"Today is not what it used to be." Cui Zhuning said perfunctorily.

"So it's even more strange that an important figure from the Cui family actually appeared in Earth City at the same time as Team Leader Lu, riding in the same car and participating in a small riot."

Cui Zhuning simply ignored him and concentrated on drinking his own wine.

Lu Linbei said: "We just happened to pass by here. We didn't know there would be a 'riot' incident. In our eyes, it was just a group fight."

"'Spies don't believe in coincidences', is there a saying? I haven't taken a training class on the farm, so I don't know much about your jargon."

"There is such a saying, but it only applies to spies. You are no longer an investigator, right?"

"If I don't do it anymore, I would have long been tired of that shit job. I would leave as soon as I get the chance and never want to go back."

"Then, as a police officer, please treat the acquaintances who occasionally drive by and accept such coincidences. I believe that you must have encountered many coincidences while on duty on the road."

"Don't teach me how to be a policeman. You are not my boss now, and you are not even a resident of Jiazixing." Gui Shangbai suddenly became stern and seemed to like this situation very much.

Lu Linbei tapped the table twice with his fingers, "I am not your boss, and I am not a resident of Jiazi Star, but you sit at the same table drinking with me."

"You invited me here, saying you wanted to give me a reasonable explanation..." Gui Shangbai woke up a little, his face turned red, and he looked like an alcoholic again.

"You should refuse, especially considering your former identity." Lu Linbei became calmer.

"You..." Gui Shangbai showed an angry face, but did not dare to get angry on the spot.

"You see, spies are qualified to 'not believe in coincidences' because this is their profession. For ordinary people, it is a better choice to believe in coincidences and accept coincidences. I believe that Jiazixing's intelligence agencies have the same idea. , if they see us sitting together, I'm afraid they will have some associations."

Gui Shangbai glanced around nervously and whispered: "You are still as shameless as before, but the situation is different now. If you want to ruin my future, I..."

Lu Linbei said in surprise: "What are you talking about? Why would I want to ruin your future? On the contrary, I sincerely hope to see old acquaintances get better and better. What I just said has only one meaning, suggestion You accept reasonable explanations.”

Gui Shangbai's face became confused, "A reasonable explanation..."

"Coincidence is the most reasonable and true explanation, and we all have to accept it. I will not ask: Why do we encounter sudden riots when we go out? Why are the police officers on duty turned out to be acquaintances? Why is this acquaintance Always trying to give me hints?”

"I didn't give you any hint." Gui Shangbai said hurriedly.

"Since there's no hint, it's a coincidence, which I believe because I'm no longer an investigator, what about you?"

Gui Shangbai picked up the cup, drank the rest of the wine, and said bitterly: "At least you will pay for this drink, right?"

"Of course, you can have another drink if you want."

Gui Shangbai stood up and said, "Don't let me meet you again." After that, he strode out of the bar.

Cui Zhuning laughed, "I understand why he doesn't like you, and I understand why you said you wouldn't recruit him as an investigator. Well, even I believe that he is really just a policeman. There are coincidences in the world. But I thought You will bribe him with money, not intimidate him."

"Borrowing is a backup plan. Since intimidation is effective, there is no need to waste money."

"I'm a little curious, why do we encounter this kind of thing? I think I have the right not to believe in coincidences."

Lu Linbei looked out the window, "Yeah, why did we encounter this kind of thing? Why did the police say this was a riot?"

The two were silent for a while, and Cui Zhuning smiled and said, "Leave it to me. All you have to do is stay in top condition."

"Thinking is my best state."

Cui Zhuning paid and the two of them walked out of the bar. The street had returned to normal. It was getting dark. There were more pedestrians and vehicles, making it more crowded. The police were nowhere to be seen.

Cui Zhuning frowned and said, "It's even harder to drive the car. I don't know how many hours it will take to get back to the hotel. I will definitely remember my lesson and never come to this area again."

The two got into the car and waited for nearly five minutes before they had a chance to merge into the traffic. They crawled forward at a speed slower than walking. It was impossible to turn around. They could only hope to get out of the congested area as soon as possible and take a detour back to the hotel. .

At the intersection, Cui Zhuning planned to continue going straight, but the car turned right. He groaned, tried to straighten the steering wheel, and gave the voice command out of habit: "Go straight."

Neither the steering wheel nor the instructions took effect, and the car still stubbornly turned right and entered a narrower street.

No one would believe such a coincidence. Cui Zhuning and Lu Linbei looked at each other with alert looks on their faces, and then opened the door at the same time. At the current speed, they could jump out safely.

The car door was locked and refused to be opened.

"Someone reinstalled the electronic system in the car!" Cui Zhuning came to his senses, took out a gun from his arms, and looked around wildly.
