Gao Yi stopped as he got into the car. He turned around and looked in the direction of the middle-aged man with interest. His mind couldn't help but recall the scene at last year's Ice and Snow Festival.
At that time, I was enlarging Descartes and met the legendary leader of the East China Sea Office.
Why did he appear here?
Gao Yi was confused.
Shouldn't the disaster response office under its jurisdiction be responsible for special events? Director Song, the "big wronged", is not here, so why is the director here?
"Director Tao!"
Tan Yan's team leader, as the highest person in charge present, immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"The person involved disappeared mysteriously?"
This middle-aged man has a rich voice, and his whole person is filled with aura of superiority that has been formed over many years: "Can you confirm the authenticity of this incident? Over the years, misjudgments in subordinate offices have been common."
"You know, this will become an important indicator in the General Administration's assessment."
"It's certain." The team leader followed the footsteps of the director, one position behind, and reported as he walked: "The reporter is an old agent in our establishment, and his judgment of abnormal events is basically unmistakeable.
."
The reason why the team leader said "it's almost impossible to make mistakes" was probably because he didn't want to talk too much in front of the leader.
However, the director's reaction was surprising. His expression suddenly changed and gradually began to turn cold.
"Basically? That means something will go wrong?"
"this……"
A young man like the team leader who is still in the stage of doing practical things may not have much experience in the incomprehensible thinking of upper-level leaders even though he has the title of team leader.
He probably never dreamed that the director would suddenly choke himself in a place like this, his mind was in knots, and he couldn't even answer the question for a moment.
"Where are the parties involved?"
The director then continued to ask questions, and the team leader subconsciously reported the situation of Gao Yi and others, but it seemed that because most of the people had left, he seemed quite dissatisfied.
In the distance, Gao Yi watched the two people talking, and saw their eyes suddenly turned toward him. Then the team leader called out, and the police officer driving stopped his movements and said to Gao Yi: "Young man,
It seems that the leader is looking for you, could you please come over?"
Gao Yi frowned slightly, wondering where this was coming from.
"Classmate Gaoyi."
Looking at the two people walking towards him, the team leader explained sheepishly: "It's like this. The director wants to find out something from you. Don't put any pressure on him, just tell him what you know."
Gao Yi turned his attention to the middle-aged man.
"Hello, classmate Gao Yi."
The director's expression did not change in any way because of his high sense of justice. Even the tone of the questions was light, without any sense of the scene and atmosphere that the words should have.
"Can you tell me in detail what happened to you?"
Gao Yi has no psychological burden to retell his "story" again. In the concise and concise description, a large number of key points are blurred, and there is no possibility of self-revelation at all.
After the story was finished, the director fell into silence, as if thinking about some important part of it. But after a moment, he raised his head again and asked: "Where is the other person who came out with you? Where has he gone?"
When asking this question, Gao Yi could clearly feel that the director's eyes had become a little deeper, as if he had grasped some secret key without concealing it.
"Sorry, I'm not very clear."
Gao Yi's answer this time was no longer so perfunctory. Out of some sudden vigilance, he added a few more lies: "But I seemed to hear footsteps, and they seemed to be heading towards the east side of the alley.
."
The director squinted and glanced at the team leader. The team leader immediately turned around and left with understanding. After a while, he handed over a tablet. It was a traffic monitoring screen, with a tall figure clearly displayed on it.
Gao Yi lowered his eyes and stood aside, but the Samoyed beside him had disappeared.
"That's right."
The director seemed to be muttering to himself: "It's him."
Gao Yi's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Thank you for the information, Gao Yi."
The director's voice sounded, and what was different from before was that this time he not only had a smile on his face, but also extended his hand.
Gao Yi looked at this palm. There were many wrinkles on it, but it was still white.
This is not the time to hesitate.
So he shook his hand and smiled as he should after receiving an award: "This is what I should do."
The smile faded with the wind, and the two of them turned around. The director and team leader walked away one after another, but Gao Yi remained where he was, quietly listening to the conversation in the wind and rain.
"This is a man-made attack, and the mastermind should be Descartes... Team Leader Wang, this is not a case that your disaster response office should handle. It should be handed over to the department for follow-up."
"Director, would it be too..."
The team leader seemed a little hesitant: "Our agents and director..."
"Do you think Descartes' appearance is just a coincidence?!"
The director scolded with a displeased look on his face: "Response team, do your job well, and others who should and should not be managed will be assigned to you."
The door of the black car opened, the director turned around, and above his head was an umbrella held by his subordinate. Raindrops fell on the umbrella, making a crackling sound.
He extended an index finger to the team leader who was following him all the way, and said calmly: "Don't be smart, don't make decisions, and don't overstep others.
"Young man, there are still many things you need to understand."
Bang.
The car door closed and drove away slowly.
The team leader was already soaked from the rain, and he was in a daze as he watched the special car disappear under the neon lights.
Until he remembered Gao Yi, he went back and saw that the police officer responsible for sending him home was still waiting, but Gao Yi was nowhere to be seen.
"Where has he gone?"
Someone replied: "The young man said that his cousin came to pick him up, so he left by himself."
…
Gao Yi walked on the street in the rain, even though he was soaked to the skin, he didn't notice it at all.
Every move made by the director before was constantly replayed in his mind.
"That's right...it's him..."
"The mastermind should be Descartes..."
"This is not a case that your disaster response office should handle. It should be handed over to the department for follow-up..."
The director acted as if he knew "Descartes" was there in advance.
How did he know?
Why do you want to specifically accuse Descartes of another crime?
wrong.
Before thinking about these questions, Gao Yi needs to understand a premise.
Who is he, Director Tao?
he……
He is a member of the executive bureau, the highest-level official in charge of the East China Sea, a territorial official, and an absolute "prince".
But what else?
I don't know if there is anything else...
Gao Yi passed by the entrance of an alley, and a dirty dog suddenly jumped out of it, barked at Gao Yi several times, and followed behind him with a look of resentment.
