Li Banfeng returned to his residence, said hello to his wife, and went straight to the ninth room.
Hong Ying looked at the record player and said, "Xiao Wan, something is not right with Qilang lately. He runs to the ninth room as soon as he comes home!"
The record player smiled calmly: "Just run away. Do I need to be jealous of that bitch Honglian?"
Hong Ying looked at the door of the room, moved closer to the record player and said, "Xiao Wan, the world is dangerous, and there are some things that we have to guard against."
Turntable 1: "What to guard against?"
Hong Ying lowered her voice: "Honglian has seven holes and has more business than all of us combined."
"Bah!" the record player took a sip at Hong Ying, "You're not serious all the time. I really don't know what's going on in your head. I think you just don't play enough!"
Hong Ying looked aggrieved and sat in front of the dressing table. She picked up the blush and applied it twice, then put it down again: "Xiaowan, I am wholeheartedly for you, how could you do this to me? Xiaowan, you————
Where did the record player go?
Hong Ying opened the doors one after another and saw the record player lying at the door of the ninth room. She looked through the crack in the door.
The record player was very angry and cursed secretly in his heart: This madman started to attack as soon as he came up. He and Honglian are really not clean.
Li Banfeng took ten pills, groped the lotus heart, and said gently to Honglian: "Do you recognize these ten pills?"
Honglian replied calmly: "I recognize this elixir. It is made from the iron tendons of iron-strength bamboo."
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you can't practice?"
"I mean you can't make the introductory medicine powder. I can make this elixir. I refined the first batch of iron bars that the salesman made into the elixir."
"Why haven't I heard you mention this?"
"You never asked about it."
There is indeed nothing wrong with what Honglian said. Li Banfeng did not ask about it before, but now he has to ask carefully: "To make the introductory medicinal powder, do you need to refine the iron tendons into elixirs first?"
If this step is really necessary, then at least the salesman still has a red lotus in his hand.
Honglian said: "It was like this at first, but later the salesman didn't know what method he used. He didn't need me to help him make elixirs or powdered medicine. From then on, the salesman turned against the people in heaven."
"How can these elixirs be turned into medicinal powder?"
"Choose any three pills from them and refine them again, and they will become the introductory medicine powder for a certain sect. But how to refine it, and which sect corresponds to which three elixirs, I don't know."
Honglian's answer was consistent with Sun Tiecheng's, but this did not mean that she told the truth without reservation.
Li Banfeng continued to caress the lotus heart and asked: "Is the person in the sky male or female, and what does it look like?"
Honglian thought for a long time and sighed: "I can't remember whether he is a boy or a girl, nor what he looks like. I only remember that he is so beautiful, even more beautiful than Zhao Xiaowan."
Li Banfeng laughed: "This is pure nonsense. Is there anyone in the world who is more beautiful than my wife?"
Honglian tightened her lotus leaves and pinched Li Banfeng's fingers: "Have you seen your wife?"
"See you, right in the lobby."
"Do you know what your wife looks like?"
"Then how could you not know? Even if you throw her into the sea of ​​people, I will recognize her at the first sight."
"I'm not talking about her current appearance, I'm talking about her original appearance."
Li Banfeng stood up and said, "No matter what my wife looks like, there is no one more beautiful than her in this world."
After saying that, Li Banfeng returned to the main room.
The record player ran back to the main room first and stood at the door, with dewdrops all over the speaker.
Li Banfeng said: "Madam, are you sweating?"
"Ah, it's sweat. I just wanted to cook a bowl of noodles for my husband. I didn't know whether to cook wide noodles or thin noodles. I was so anxious that my head was covered with sweat." The lady's singing was still moving, but her voice was slightly hoarse.
"There's nothing to be anxious about," Li Banfeng said with a smile, "Just cook lasagna, I love lasagna too."
"My darling, do you prefer soup noodles or dry noodles?"
"Let's eat noodle soup."
"My sweetheart, the noodles will be cooked in a moment. You change your clothes first, and my little slave will wash them for you."
"Don't rush to wash. I'm going to another state soon and have to cross two lakes."
"My dear husband, when you get out of the lake, go home and change clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold."
Hong Ying sighed at the side and said, "Xiao Wan, when have I ever seen you so easy to treat others?"
After Li Banfeng had eaten the noodles, he immediately rushed to Yuezhou. He wanted to find out something:
How in-depth is Waizhou's research on iron-reinforced bamboo? Is there any connection between the guiding agent of the dark energy and bamboo?
How far has Seolhwapo penetrated into the outer states? Are there any of their people in the Dark Star Bureau?
Back at the Dark Star Bureau, Li Banfeng called for glutinous rice balls, which he had never heard of iron-reinforced bamboo.
Even she had never heard of it, let alone the second grader and the light bulb. Perhaps the only person in the bureau who knew about Iron Bamboo was Shen Jingye.
Li Banfeng dialed Shen Jingye's number and only heard a series of busy signals. Shen Jingye's landline was always busy and he was answering the call from above in the office.
The caller was Guan Zhengyang, who was a little younger than Shen Jingye and had a higher position than Du Wenming.
"Director Shen, the document asked your bureau to focus on investigating Li Qi. What did you do? What is the difference between the report you submitted and his previous oral statement?"
Shen Jingye had already made preparations: "Because there is no difference, it proves that the survey results are true. Li Qi is a science enthusiast. Out of his love for science, he went to Yuezhou University to attend an academic exchange meeting. That day
There are no tickets for the conference, and anyone can attend it. Before the conference, Yuezhou University also did a lot of publicity work, so Li Qi appeared at the scene of the incident that day."
Guan Zhengyang was unhappy. He felt that Shen Jingye was just sophistry: "Dark Star Bureau personnel went to attend academic exchange meetings during working hours? Do you think it is reasonable for this kind of thing to happen? Do you think this is the result we want?"
Shen Jingye's tone became more serious: "Li Qi went to participate in the academic exchange meeting and went through the leave procedure. He has the right to learn knowledge during the leave. I think this matter is very reasonable. If you think it is unreasonable, please tell me
Tell me what would be a reasonable thing for him to do during his vacation?
In addition, if you feel that the results of our investigation are not what you want, please tell me the results you want, and we will investigate according to the results you gave. Do you think it is suitable?"
Guan Zhengyang was silent for a long time, unable to say a word. He was often praised as young and promising, knowledgeable and eloquent.
Shen Jingye knows very well that the reason why he is so outstanding is because there are too few people who can match him.
Guan Zhengyang raised his voice: "Director Shen, please pay attention to your attitude. There are obvious problems with the performance of Dark Star Bureau in many recent tasks. There are many problems, and they have not yet been determined!"
Is this to scare me?
Shen Jingye was not intimidated: "Whether it is a problem within the bureau or a personal problem for me, as long as the situation is true, I am willing to accept criticism and deal with it."
"Your problem must be dealt with. This case will be transferred to the Dark Matter Research Laboratory immediately."
The Dark Matter Research Laboratory, an institution that sounds very scientific, is actually very similar to the Dark Star Bureau in nature, and will most likely replace the Dark Star Bureau after a period of time.
This is a routine operation, because the Dark Star Bureau itself does not have a long history.
Shen Jingye will not blame himself for losing the trust from his superiors, nor will he be anxious because of the change in the status of the Dark Star Bureau. "I know about this. I received the document the day before yesterday."
Guan Zhengyang said: "As soon as you receive the documents, act quickly and hand over all the suspects and relevant information."
"The handover was completed yesterday morning. The suspect, relevant information, witnesses, and physical evidence were all handed over. The handover procedures were completed."
Shen Jingye knew in his heart that what happened the day before yesterday should be mentioned again today. This is an anxiety management method and an old routine. The purpose is to make Shen Jingye feel anxious in the midst of self-blame.
In the past, this trick really worked, but Guan Zhengyang didn't know that Shen Jingye had changed a lot.
Now Shen Jingye will not blame himself for losing the trust from his superiors, nor will he be anxious because of the change in the status of the Dark Star Bureau. He only needs to confirm one thing: "Among the suspects handed over, does Li Qi be included?
"
"This is still under study, just wait for the documents." Guan Zhengyang couldn't answer. Li Qi is a balancer, a very powerful balancer. If such a person is handed over to the Dark Matter Research Laboratory, the laboratory will simply not be able to handle it.
Shen Jingye hung up the phone, picked up his notebook, and flipped through the notes he had just taken.
Since joining the workforce, Shen Jingye has used countless notebooks. He takes notes during meetings, takes notes on phone calls, and even more so when reporting work in person. Notes are needed for every instruction and every task.
How important are these notes to him?
Actually it's not important at all.
Most of Shen Jingye's notes were written randomly. It is not important to remember the content. What is important is the action of taking notes. The bigger the action and the more serious the expression, the higher the degree of attention.
Of course, there were some important things in the notebook. He flipped through a bunch of scrawled notes, found a page of matrices, pulled out a stack of white paper from the printer, and started solving problems at an extremely fast speed.
This is part of his spiritual practice.
He moved his pen quickly, using more than a dozen sheets of draft paper, and quickly solved more than half of the matrix. Li Banfeng watched for a while and asked: "What level of arithmetic cultivator are you at?"
Shen Jingye was not surprised or panicked. He was used to it. He simply sorted out the draft paper, raised his head and said, "I am a problem solver, which is what Puozhou often calls a mathematician."
Li Banfeng smiled. There is a big difference between problem solvers and calculators. Li Banfeng recently read through some information.
Found the essential difference between the two.
When a train passes in front of you, Suan Xiu can calculate the best way and the best time to stop the train based on the surrounding environment and his own conditions. He can also clearly calculate a series of processes such as robbing goods and selling the stolen goods afterwards.
Li Banfeng experienced this at Huangtu Bridge.
But the problem solver does not have similar abilities. He does not know how to stop the train. Give him a ready-made plan, tell him all the known conditions, and then ask him to verify whether the plan is feasible. The problem solver can
To give an answer, their ability and core is the question. Without the question, the problem solver's ability cannot be used.
Is Shen Jingye a repairman or a problem solver? This matter needs to be verified.
Li Banfeng came here to see him because he wanted to see someone: "Professor Yu Yaoming is still in the bureau, right?"
Shen Jingye shook his head and said: "He is no longer here. He was picked up by someone from the Dark Matter Research Laboratory yesterday. If you want to see him,
You have to communicate and coordinate with the research laboratory, but I don’t think they will cooperate with you.”
Li Banfeng didn't think so: "We are all comrades on the same front. Don't think bad things about people. Give me the address of the research laboratory and I will go and communicate with them."
"I don't know their address yet. I will tell you when I find out." Shen Jingye was not joking, he was serious. His temperament had undergone a serious change, and this change seemed to be irreversible.
A little bit, but it can't be called willful, let alone messy. Shen Jingye still has enterprising thoughts. He is practicing hard and has the awareness to avoid risks. In the process of negotiating with his superiors, he is more clear-headed than before.
Li Banfeng thought for a long time about what kind of change it was, and could only use one word to describe it.
reality.
Shen Jingye becomes more real than before.
"Director Li, I also want to remind you that the research laboratory has just been established and the hardware facilities are not yet complete. However, there are many high-level dark energy users among their members. It is best to be more patient during the communication process."
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "What do you mean by this? Do you think I am an impatient person?"
Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "I'm worried that they won't be patient. They are all seventh-level dark energy users. I'm worried that once they are angered, you will beat them to death."
"I'm only on the fifth floor, how can I kill someone on the seventh floor in one go?"
Shen Jingye made a simple calculation: "Taking into account the calculation error, I can only look at it twice at most.
The two were chatting when Shen Jingye's phone rang. After looking at the caller's number, he pressed the hands-free button.
The call came from Du Wenming: "Director Shen, there is a situation in the Dark Matter Research Laboratory, and an emergency meeting is going to be held. Please come and attend."
In the past, Shen Jingye would have agreed immediately and then speculated on the content of the meeting.
But he didn't want to guess a riddle today: "Director Du, what happened? Why do you need me to attend the emergency meeting in the laboratory?"
Du Wenming was silent for a moment and said: "The professor who was sent to the research laboratory from the Dark Star Bureau was kidnapped."
Li Banfeng was stunned, who could do it so quickly?
Shen Jingye was very dissatisfied: "Director Du, why do you emphasize that it was sent by the Dark Star Bureau? Yesterday we handed people over to the research room. If you ask me to have a meeting now, are you asking me to take the blame?"
Shen Jingye was right. When he was called to the meeting this time, he did have the idea of ​​letting him focus on the overall situation and share responsibilities.
But Shen Jingye's attitude surprised Du Wenming. He made it clear directly, and Du Wenming couldn't say more.
I could only tell Shen Jingye the time of the meeting.
"Is the meeting place in the laboratory? You have to tell me the address of the laboratory."
Du Wenming told Shen Jingye the address. After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingye wanted his secretary to prepare a document, but when he called the secretary, Shen Jingye asked him to go back again.
"It's useless to write materials. It's useless no matter how much I write. I will definitely not memorize this today, and I don't have to be so tactful when talking to them——" While talking to himself, Shen Jingye scrawled a few words in his notebook.
Page, it was almost time, Shen Jingye took the car to the meeting.
Two hours later, Shen Jingye came back and went directly to Li Qi's office.
Li Qi put down the information in his hand and asked, "How's it going? You're not taking the blame, are you?"
Shen Jingye shook his head and said: "We don't take the blame, but the matter is ours."
"What difference does it make?"
"The difference is that we lost Yu Yaoming. It's not our fault, but we have to find a way to get Yu Yaoming back."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Why should we look for it?"
"As mentioned above, Yu Yaoming's disappearance is a security issue caused by dark abilities, and should be handled by the Dark Star Bureau security team."
"Nonsense! Where did it happen? Wasn't it in the research room?"
"It's a research laboratory, but the situation is quite special." Shen Jingye took the hard drive and copied three videos to Li Qi. This was the surveillance video of when Yu Yaoming was kidnapped.
Yu Yaoming was in the interrogation room at the time. A detective from the research laboratory was interrogating and taking notes when a man suddenly appeared beside the wall of the interrogation room.
This man was short in stature and had a big head. He wore a big brown hat with a blue ribbon wrapped around it and a feather stuck in the ribbon.
Under the brim of the hat, a head of golden curly hair hangs down to his face. Through the curly hair, you can see his dark blue eyes, which are large but lifeless.
Under the eyes is a very long nose, with the tip of the nose covering his upper lip. He is wearing a yellow top, black shorts, and a pair of large leather shoes with the shoelaces tied very neatly.
Li Banfeng thought of the famous fairy tale "Pinocchio" he had read when he was a child.
Could this man be called Pinocchio?
Neither the detective nor Yu Yaoming noticed the man. The man stood by the wall for a while and then walked sideways towards Yu Yaoming.
Li Banfeng asked: "Why is he walking sideways?"
Shen Jingye said: "Look down, there are clues below."
The man stood beside Yu Yaoming for a moment, seemingly observing Yu Yaoming's hands and feet.
The detective suddenly looked up and the man's figure disappeared.
Li Banfeng pressed the pause button and repeatedly observed how the man disappeared.
The picture flashed by frame by frame. In the previous frame, the man was still standing next to Yu Yaoming, but in the next frame he disappeared.
Shen Jingye shook his head and sighed: "Their hardware equipment is indeed inferior. This is the limit of the monitoring equipment."
The detective asked two more questions, then lowered his head to take notes. Li Banfeng said: "Why is there only one detective in the interrogation room? There should be at least two people, right?"
Shen Jingye said: "The explanation given by the research office is that Yu Yaoming's mental condition is unstable. In crowded places,
If he does not cooperate with the interrogation, he may attack the interrogator."
"Has this situation ever happened in the Dark Star Bureau?"
"Yu Yaoming is a little manic, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with the large number of people and the small number of people. Yu Yaoming also had troubles when there were few people."
The man stood beside Yu Yaoming for a while, and the most critical clue appeared.
He slowly raised his left arm, or to be precise, his left upper arm. The forearm was under the elbow, seemingly swinging feebly.
After swinging for a moment, all the limbs on Yu Yaoming's body disappeared.
His feet made some noise, and the interrogating agent finally raised his head and discovered the man next to Yu Yaoming. The man grabbed Yu Yaoming, still moving sideways, and quickly rushed towards the door of the interrogation room.
He easily opened the door and led Yu Yaoming to the corridor.
"The critical moment has arrived." Shen Jingye played the second video, which was from the corridor of the research room.
The man took Yu Yaoming and rushed sideways into the corridor, crashed through the wall of the corridor, rushed to the outside of the building, stayed in the air outside the building for a moment, and then fell down.
"Pay attention to this key point," Shen Jingye pressed pause. "According to the division of responsibilities at the meeting, Yu Yaoming was lost in the building, which is the responsibility of the research laboratory, but Yu Yaoming absconded outside the building, which is the responsibility of the Dark Star Bureau.
responsibility."
"Are these human words?" Li Banfeng raised his hand and wanted to slap Shen Jingye.
Shen Jingye took a step back and kept a relatively safe distance from Li Banfeng: "I think, from a logical point of view, there is no problem in defining this responsibility. The research office has just been established, and the problems outside the building are indeed not their fault."
Li Banfeng said blankly: "Is this how logic works?"
"Watch the video first." Shen Jingye played the third video, which was a surveillance screen on the road outside the building. It was played at one-fifth of the speed. The man and Yu Yaoming were finally visible on the screen.
The man kept walking sideways, his body barely rising.
His shoulders are always hunched, and major joints such as his knees and elbows give him a strange sense of disharmony.
Shen Jingye said: "Can you tell, this is a puppet on strings."
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "It's indeed very similar. What you mean is that the person who kidnapped Yu Yaoming was a workman."
"This is not what I meant. This was the analysis at the meeting. They believed that a craftsman made and controlled the puppet, broke into the research room, and robbed Yu Yaoming.
But the key question is that the agents in the laboratory are all seventh-level dark energy users. They have not shown the slightest ability to deal with this puppet. How powerful do you think this craftsman is?"
"He is so powerful that he is no longer a craftsman." Li Banfeng turned back and looked at Shen Jingye.
Shen Jingye blinked and said, "I know there is a difference between a craftsman and a craftsman. This must be a high-level craftsman. I just don't want to get hung up on their title."
This is the real Shen Jingye, who is not even willing to hide it.
But his inference was correct. If a puppet is so powerful, how strong is this Gongxiu?
"It's not that easy to snatch Yu Yaoming back from him."
Shen Jingye nodded and said: "I know it's not easy. The responsibility for losing Yu Yaoming is not ours, so even if we can't get it back, it's not our responsibility. It can only be said that we missed one chance to make a contribution."
Li Banfeng looked at Shen Jingye and said, "Do you want to make meritorious deeds?"
"I think so." Shen Jingye still answered very frankly.
"Didn't you say before that you were already looking down on the promotion?"
"If I don't have a chance, I must be bearish. If I can get the opportunity back, maybe I won't be so bearish."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Banfeng smiled: "Xiao Shen, your straightforward look is very cute!"
There was longing in Shen Jingye's eyes: "Bureau Li, let's all be more frank. If we want to make this happen,
I need you to help me, what kind of reward do you want?"
Li Banfeng said: "Don't rush about the reward. Let's see if there is any chance of doing it. No matter how powerful the other party is, Yu Yaoming has been lost. Trying to get him back is tantamount to
Looking for a needle in a haystack, where are you going to start looking for clues?”
Shen Jingye is also a professional, so he naturally has some ideas: "Look for the motive first. What is this person's motive for taking Yu Yaoming away?
The first possibility is that Yu Yaoming established an organization or gang, and the workman himself was a gang member, or was hired by the gang to come to rescue Yu Yaoming.
The second possibility is that Yu Yaoming mastered some extremely advanced scientific knowledge, and an organization wanted to take advantage of his scientific results, so it kidnapped him from the research laboratory.
The second possibility is more likely. After all, this is a civilized society. No matter how deep the gang members' feelings for Yaoming are, they should not challenge an institution like the research laboratory."
"Are you making fun of Puozhou?" Li Banfeng smiled, "Maybe the so-called civilization is all fabricated."
"I'm not sarcastic about Prozhou, I just want to say--you just said that civilization is made up? What do you mean by that?"
The fact that Shen Jingye could say this completely proves that he is not a member of Seolhwapo.
Li Banfeng said: "I just said it casually, you can treat it as a philosophical question and go back and understand it carefully.
I think your speculation is correct. The most likely motive of the other party is to take a fancy to Yu Yaoming's research results.
Combined with Yaoming's own situation, he mastered certain dark abilities, so he kidnapped Yaoming's organization.
It should have something to do with dark abilities."
Shen Jingye nodded and said: "I think so too, the other party is an organization of dark ability users with strong strength.
"Among the organizations we know, how many can afford to hire workers of this level? How many organizations have the guts to do research labs?"
"The scope is much smaller now," Shen Jingye thought for a moment, "As far as the information I currently have, within the territory of Huan Kingdom, only the Birch Tree Priory can do this."
Li Banfeng said: "Following the Birch Tree Priory's search, it should also include the gang they spawned, the Ferry Gang."
Shen Jingye thought for a while: "If we follow the Ferry Gang and search higher, we can find another powerful organization.
Seolhwapo and the Ferry Gang were jointly created by Seolhwapo and Birch Priory."
Li Banfeng nodded: "So, none of these three organizations can be spared. Do you have their information in your hand?"
Shen Jingye pursed his lips: "You should have read the bureau's information, right?
2
Li Banfeng smiled and said: "I just said that civilization is all fabricated, and that's what I'm talking about. Those materials have no valuable information, and a lot of the content is fabricated."
Shen Jingye stood up and said, "I'm going to get some information and I'll send it to you later."
Li Banfeng said: "Don't worry, there is another detail that we cannot ignore. Before this, you told me that you don't know the location of the research laboratory."
Shen Jingye nodded: "Yes, I don't know——"
After a moment of silence, Shen Jingye suddenly realized.
I don’t know the location, why would the puppet man know it?
There's a mole!
Li Banfeng said no more. Shen Jingye returned to his office, sat behind his desk, and kept repeating Li Banfeng's words.
"Civilization is a fabrication, civilization is a fabrication——..."
He picked up the phone, then put it down again.
He picked up the phone and copied down a number.
He took out a special mobile phone. It was a mobile phone from the early 1990s and was as big as a brick.
This phone has been specially processed to make it difficult to be monitored.
He made a call on his mobile phone.
"Lao Shen, why did you use this number to call me?"
Shen Jingye said: "I have something to trouble you with. Please check Du Wenming's resume and his recent movements for me, focusing on his schedule for the past three days."
Chapter completed!
