Spy Family

Professor Qiao broke into the room, turned around and glared at the police outside. He didn't look away until the other party gave in, closed the door heavily, and said to Lu Linbei: "Is this true?"

"There are too many opinions on the Internet. Which one is Professor Qiao asking about?" Lu Linbei only slept for more than three hours last night. He looked tired and sat on the sofa yawning continuously.

"Huang Tongke was assassinated, and the murderers were you and Chen Manchi."

"The assassination is true, but the murderer was not the two of us, but Nong Xingwen, or most likely Nong Xingwen."

"Why didn't you talk about this when you went to see me last night?"

"Professor Qiao has a heavy workload, so don't worry about my affairs."

"This is not your matter, it is the matter of the Universal Suffrage Association. But I really couldn't help last night, but why didn't the police arrest you? Where is Chen Manchi? Is he already in jail?"

"Manchi is at Ru Hongshang's house. Like me, he is also under residential surveillance."

"The police in Zhai Jing paid so little attention to the death of the chairman?"

"We take it very seriously, but I hired a good lawyer to temporarily avoid jail for us."

"Lawyer? Did you hire a lawyer?"

"right."

Professor Qiao's eyebrows and eyes gradually stood up, "You actually hired a lawyer?"

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "Professor Qiao, please sit down and talk. Do you have any ideas about lawyers?"

"It's not that I have an idea, it's that most people have ideas." Professor Qiao sat down. "They are not human beings, they are procedures. They don't want to clear up the grievances of the parties at all, so they will find bones in the eggs and find legal provisions to delay Time seemed to be making progress, but at the last moment, he surrendered and sent the person involved to jail, while bragging solemnly about his abilities and saying that without their help, the consequences would be more serious."

"Professor Qiao has suffered a loss?"

"I won't let a bunch of numbers be my lawyer. I defend myself. Isn't that okay?"

"Professor Qiao was forced to leave the university. This is not called 'nothing at all'."

"I was resigning... Regarding your matter, it is not wise to hire a lawyer."

"I have used this lawyer. He once helped me escape a trial. I think Professor Qiao has a misunderstanding of lawyer procedures. They are indeed... a little weird, but they do their job. For example, this time, he at least did not let the police take us The couple was arrested immediately."

"Where did he get such great ability? There must be something abnormal."

"It's actually not that complicated. Lawyer No. 34 - this is his name - found an ancient interstellar clause, claiming that the Universal Power Council is an equal institution to the Council and should be compared to alien governments. Official Representative Diplomatic Immunity.”

Professor Qiao was stunned for a while, "The Council actually endorsed this statement? If the Universal Rights Council could 'compare it to an alien government', why would it launch a war and come to negotiate?"

"The Council publicly invited the Universal Suffrage Committee to come for peace talks. On the 34th, it seized on this point and claimed that since the Council used the method of 'invitation', it recognized the equal status of the Universal Suffrage Committee to a certain extent. Of course. , this statement was not recognized by the council, but the judge believed that this was an issue worth discussing, so he submitted the dispute to the legal team and suspended the arrest operation."

Professor Qiao was stunned for a while, "How long can this buy you?"

"No more than three days at most."

"What are the chances of winning?"

"Less than twenty percent."

"So it's just like what I said, it's just stalling for time."

"One step at a time."

Professor Qiao waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to discuss the lawyer's matters anymore, and asked seriously: "Is the police hiding something in your place?"

"No, it's still safe to talk here."

"Very good. On behalf of Pu Quan, I will ask you a few things. First, why didn't you take Chen Manchi and escape?"

"Escape will lead to accusations of assassination and play into the enemy's hands. Manchi and I won't be able to escape very far. It will also implicate the Universal Power Conference and bear full responsibility for the breakdown of the peace talks."

Professor Qiao sighed, "The peace talks have broken down. Today's negotiations have been cancelled. I don't know when they will be resumed. Moreover, everyone on the Internet believes that it was you who killed Huang Tongke. The Universal Suffrage Association has been actively preparing for war. Now it has become evidence of guilt. We have worked hard Almost all the public opinion gained was lost.”

"Then try to get it back. If we escape, we will have no chance at all."

"You can still maintain confidence at this time." Professor Qiao shook his head, not knowing whether he was in admiration or feeling ridiculous, "The second thing is that the Puquan Association wants to know the truth. Did you... kill Huang Tongke? "

"This is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time. The real murderers are Nong Xingwen and Guan Zhuqian, and our husband and wife are the scapegoats."

"The General Rights Council told me that Chen Manchi left the base on his own without notifying anyone, and it did not appear to be under coercion."

"This is the core of the whole incident: Manchi is a fused person, and all fused people have 'imprints' implanted in their bodies, and will be controlled by Nong Xingwen at any time."

"Like one program controlling another program?"

"Yes. I know it sounds incredible, but it's true. Nong Xingwen absorbs Guihai's core code and is becoming more and more powerful. Fusion of people is just the beginning. Programmers, gamers, and those who are being affected by Human beings affected by bugs will become his prey sooner or later."

Professor Qiao was silent for a while, "How do you know this?"

"I have been fighting with Nong Xingwen to understand his goals and plans."

"Who else knows this?"

"Li Fenghui knows something, and Ma Zhangyou knows even more."

"Ma Zhangyou's current situation is similar to yours. He is under residential surveillance. His words have no weight."

"I have asked the General Assembly to release him."

"He was released, but he was not given full freedom. All the programmers rebelled, and he was the only one who stayed. Under such circumstances, the General Rights Council was being generous by not deleting him completely."

"That's Li Feng's reply. He can confirm what I said, at least in part."

"Well, Li Feng's reply is very useful, but it is only useful to the Universal Rights Council and is of no value to the Council."

"There is also Dong Tianchai of Zhao Wangxing. His research on Nong Xingwen is more in-depth than Li Fenghui, but he is an alien."

"Yes, he is an alien and an important member of the Independence Army. His influence on the Council of King Zhai is negative. Throw away the aliens and you have to find more convincing witnesses from this planet."

"Professor Qiao speaks more like my lawyer than No. 34." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

"Seriously, I am your lawyer now. The procedure will only focus on the legal provisions. Even if you are lucky enough to win the case, it will often ruin the reputation of the client. I am different from them. I want to find out the truth and restore your innocence at the same time. , but also to uncover the real murderer and make the world start to pay attention to Nong Xingwen’s destructive power.”

Lu Linbei put away his smile, "I really need a 'lawyer' like Professor Qiao. Let me think about it... a scientific research center."

"Zhai Wangxing Scientific Research Center?"

"Yes, they have cooperated with Nong Xingwen and were defrauded of at least one important technology. They may understand his ambitions and abilities."

"Very good, this is a breakthrough. I know some people in the scientific research center and may be able to find evidence."

"But there's a problem."

"What trouble?"

"The fact that the scientific research center was deceived may implicate some important members of the Universal Suffrage Committee."

Professor Qiao frowned, "How important is it?"

"Very important."

"Why do you always get into so much trouble?"

"Maybe it's my bad luck. The most important thing is that the enemy is really powerful, stronger than the Council and King Xing. And I found that the more fearless Nong Xingwen is, the deeper he hides. This time, he Didn’t even show up, not even a byte was exposed.”

"Old Bei, I believe you won't lie, but the more you speak, the more exaggerated you are. I have begun to feel that the road to confirmation is difficult."

"That's why I said to take it one step at a time. So far, I haven't found a way to escape. Nong Xingwen still has the absolute upper hand."

"I can only take one step at a time. I will contact an old acquaintance at the scientific research center - Dr. Zeng is definitely not allowed. He is in the same situation as the Origin Society. In short, I have a way to inquire about the news from the side and will not implicate the Universal Suffrage Society. Is there anything else you need me to do? Remember, I’m not helping you, but helping the Universal Suffrage Association, so don’t be polite and don’t hide anything from me anymore.”

Professor Qiao was still brooding over what he knew but didn't say last night.

"If possible, please ask Professor Qiao to say a few more words to Ma Youyou. We should be more grateful to the only programmer who has not betrayed the Universal Rights Council, rather than suspicious."

"Are you still in the mood to meddle in such nosy matters?"

"This is no trivial matter. The programmer's betrayal is excusable. It doesn't make much sense to tie the horse and wander around. It may also cut off the programmer's return."

Professor Qiao's eyes were complicated, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I will fight for Ma Xianqing's freedom. I will also contact Li Feng. No matter what, he can convince the Universal Suffrage Committee. If he supports your statement, I will be more confident." confidence."

"Very reasonable."

Professor Qiao stood up and said, "After thinking about it carefully, I also think you were right not to run away. The battles are always one after another. The bravest soldiers have to step back and rest for a while, and let others take the battle. Now it's my turn." ."

"Thank you, Professor Qiao."

"Let's wait until I get results. I suddenly remembered something. Will Mr. Bigu be controlled or bewitched by Nong Xingwen?"

"It's hard to say, but her presence did distract some of my attention."

"I will investigate clearly." Professor Qiao strode away.

Lu Linbei was very grateful for Professor Qiao's help, but he didn't have high expectations. He cared more about Ma Xingyang.

Someone knocked on the door outside, and then a policeman opened the door and came in. Without saying anything, he went directly to the window, closed the curtains, and adjusted them carefully without leaving any gaps. Then he turned around and said: "Don't go to the window, either. Don’t look outside, you are responsible for your own safety.”

Lu Linbei nodded, and the police went to deal with other curtains.

Lu Linbei used a microcomputer to surf the Internet and quickly found the reason. A group of supporters of the Council were demonstrating outside the Diplomatic Building, demanding severe punishment for the murderer. Several interviewees publicly claimed that they would use drones to carry out "beheading operations."

Not long after the police left, Mei Wangzhen arrived with a microcomputer. She was now a "lawyer carrier" and could freely come and go between the two suspects' residences.

No. 34 insisted on talking in person to avoid any possible procedural issues, "The situation is not ideal. The experts from the big legal team are inclined to reject my application. I will think of another way to ensure that you two will not be arrested first." , but if it fails, don’t be nervous, this is just the beginning, there will be a long legal process ahead, and I will not give in."

"Thank you."

Mei Wangzhen also brought news, "Uranus has declared war again to avenge the assassinated representatives. The interstellar fleet will reach the outer space of Zhaiwang at the latest the day after tomorrow. Your affairs will soon no longer be the only focus."

"This is a good thing for you and Chen Manchi." No. 34 added.
