Spy Family

What is an opportunity? For a spy, an opportunity is a job like this: dangerous, not much credit if you succeed, but a lot of responsibility if you fail. No one is willing to do it, so it falls on you. Three Uncle will occasionally complain. He loves his family, but he doesn’t love it enough to think that the family is perfect. “What can you do? Of course, there will be a fight next. Anyway, bones without meat are still good. It’s also a bone, you have to bite it in your mouth like a dog, and you have to be happy.”

The students didn't like this statement, especially the last metaphor. They murmured in protest, and the third uncle raised his two fingers again, You don't have to agree with what I said, and you don't even have to remember it. When you really encounter this kind of thing, When something happens, you will naturally think of what I said today - it is useless, but it can make you feel better because you know you are not the only one who has encountered this kind of thing.

Lu Linbei encountered such an opportunity when he first entered the industry. He was pushed out as a bait and had no choice. After luring out the assassin, no one rewarded him for his merits.

When the opportunity came again, he was able to deal with it calmly, thought for a moment, and replied: Interested.

Professor Qiao turned his head and said, Fools also have their happiness.

Lu Linbei asked without arguing, When?

Just wait, it could be tonight, or it could be some day next year. I didn't say I would definitely use you.

Okay, I'll wait.

After a long silence, when the diagnosis and treatment was about to end, Professor Qiao asked: Have you heard of the origin theory?

I've read some related books.

How do you personally understand it? Simply put, don't make a long speech.

To use my unfinished paper as an example, the origin is basic research. Generally speaking, people think that breakthroughs in basic research will push mankind forward, and the origin theory believes that when there is forward, there is backward, and there is upward. There is a decline, and the most advanced theories may also be used to demonstrate the most backward ideas. Even the origin theory itself has become a religion for some people? However, the distribution in all directions around the origin is not uniform. Consumerism is a socialized description of this uneven state...

enough.

This is the view of predecessors.

I mean it's time, you can go.

Professor Qiao didn't give him a minute more in an hour.

Back at his residence, Lu Linbei was still confused.

Did you get scolded again?

It's okay. Professor Qiao said he would give me a chance to board the spaceship. Professor Qiao didn't say he wanted to keep it a secret, and Lu Linbei didn't intend to hide it from his friends.

Which ship?

He didn't say, it should be the one above.

Really? Lu Yezhou opened his eyes wide, took off his glasses, and paused the game, This is...it's only been a week, and you can escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Why don't I get sick? Sorry, that's not what I meant.

Understood. Lu Linbei said with a smile, remembering the metaphor of his third uncle, even if it is a meatless bone, the dogs will rush for it, It hasn't been finalized yet.

He is a psychiatrist, how can he be qualified to invite others to board the spaceship? Lu Yezhou was still unconvinced.

You're right, he's probably telling lies. This man... have you ever taken his class in college?

When I joined the school, he had resigned and left many rumors behind. One of them said that he harassed female colleagues. He was referred to the disciplinary committee and had to resign.

The scammer said it was because of his venomous mouth.

Who knows, maybe it's the same thing. He thinks he's being venomous and sounds like harassment. Lu Yezhou picked up his glasses but didn't put them on, What are you doing on the ship?

I know nothing.

I really envy you, but you deserve it. You are so smart, and everyone has admired you since you were a child.

Lu Linbei smiled. He was often praised for being smart. When he was a child, he believed it was true. But when he grew up, he felt it was a mockery. I would rather not be 'smart' than see a 'psychiatrist.'

Look at the opportunities you got, aren't you satisfied? Lu Yezhou put on his glasses and continued playing the game.

During dinner, Lu Yezhou became much more normal.

The opportunity came earlier than expected. About two hours after dark, it knocked on the door.

Two strange men came. One of them got straight to the point, Who is Lu Linbei? We are here to pick you up.

Lu Yezhou opened the door, holding a knife in his hand hidden behind his back, Please introduce yourself first.

Professor Qiao sent us to pick him up. All we can say is this. Professor Qiao also said there is no need to force it.

Lu Linbei squeezed over, It's me, let's go. He turned to Lu Yezhou and said, Don't worry.

At least inform the con man. Lu Yezhou whispered.

Well, you contact him.

Lu Linbei wasn't too worried. Although he hated Professor Qiao, he didn't have much doubt.

A car was parked downstairs, with one man driving and the other sitting in the back seat with Lu Linbei. Not a word was said on the road.

The route was direct, with no unnecessary detours. When we arrived at our destination, it was already after midnight.

They arrived at the largest ground-to-air port on Zhai King, which is dozens of kilometers away from Zhai Jing and covers an extremely large area. After the vehicle entered the gate, it still took nearly twenty minutes to drive before stopping.

The ground-to-space spacecraft takes off from here and flies to the space station to exchange cargo or passengers. Tonight's mission is slightly adjusted. A ground-to-space spacecraft will dock directly with the spacecraft.

This is a busy port, with spacecrafts taking off or landing every few minutes. Lu Linbei stood outside and watched for a while, and couldn't help but think of the old saying: Humans can travel through the stars and explore the distant universe. , but it cannot solve the problems around us.

He took a simple passage and boarded a small ground-to-air spacecraft. There were dozens of rows of seats in the cabin, but there were only a dozen guests seated, scattered around each other, and they seemed not to know each other.

Lu Linbei sat in the front row.

There was no notice, and no crew showed up. The spacecraft started suddenly, shook for a while, and then stabilized quickly with almost no noise and no acceleration.

Ten minutes later, the feeling of weightlessness came. Lu Linbei was a little nervous when he took the spaceship for the first time. Fortunately, he didn't make a fool of himself. He heard the sound of vomiting behind him.

After another ten minutes, the spacecraft shook again, but also quickly stopped and returned to gravity.

A middle-aged man who looked like an official came out of the front cabin, looked at all the more than ten guests, and said, Just answer whatever you ask, including personal privacy. There is no need to lie. And don't worry, no matter what, the Joint Committee We will ensure that you are safely sent back to King Zhai.

Lu Linbei suddenly realized that he was not here to perform a mission, but to be interrogated. In all likelihood, he was still related to the heir. The identity fabricated by the conman was too realistic, and it became a problem.

So this was not an opportunity at all. Lu Yezhou was envious for nothing.

Imagining Professor Qiao's appearance at this moment, Lu Linbei really hoped that the spacecraft would crash and fall on the old man's head.

More than ten people lined up to leave the cabin, and there were people waiting outside to send them to different rooms.

When you are inside the spaceship, you can't feel how big it is. It is no different from an ordinary building. There are corridors and doors everywhere. The only difference is that there are no windows.

Lu Linbei was taken to a small reception room. There were four single sofas in a circle. There was no coffee table in the middle. The armrests of the sofa were very wide and could be used to place items. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the room. It's as clean as a laboratory.

Lu Linbei sat on the sofa and waited. Lao Qian and Si Li didn't give him any reminder, which meant that he really didn't need to lie. He was just confused, why did Professor Qiao speak? And why can't it be said clearly?

The door opened, and three people came in, one woman and two men, all young, less than thirty years old. After they sat down respectively, the woman said: Lu Linbei, a resident of Zhai Wangxing?

it's me.

Interstellar orphan, born in Yuanguang Industrial Farm, joined the Emergency Department of the General Meteorological Administration of Zhaiwang.

That's right.

The woman wore a well-fitting suit with short hair. She looked very capable from head to toe, with a serious expression. She stared at Lu Linbei for a long time and said, My surname is Guan, and my name is Guan Zhuqian. He is an investigator from First Light Industry Group.”

First Light Industry Group? Is it necessary to come to the spacecraft to investigate me?

I am an investigator from the head office, from the planet Uranus.

Oh, it is indeed a group that can intervene in interstellar disputes.

Guan Zhuqian showed an expression that looked like a smile, I was seconded by the Star Alliance and currently represent the Seven Planets Human Joint Coordination Committee.

I have no other intentions. No matter which side you represent, I will answer any question truthfully.

very good.

Guan Zhuqian began to ask questions in detail, even asking about his childhood life, and mentioned some questions about the origin. Lu Linbei answered in great detail, without concealing anything, but he did not understand the other party's intention.

The questioning lasted for a full three hours, and Lu Linbei was a little tired. The two men brought refreshing drinks, and he drank two cups.

The Emergency Department once made you the heir to the eighth planet. Do you know about this? Guan Zhuqian finally asked the question.

“I didn’t know it at the time, but I learned about it later.”

How much do you know?

That's what you just said. I was created as the heir to lure assassins out of their holes.

Don't you feel like you're being taken advantage of?

feel.

But you don't care?

Miss Guan, please allow me to ask, what kind of investigator are you?

Um?

Are you an investigator from your family, or did you... grow up in the city and receive training later?

Guan Zhuqian showed that smile-like expression again, I received training later, it's not important...

If it were a family investigator, there wouldn't be the doubts you just had.

I think I understand what you mean. Although I am not a member of any family, I respect the family's management style and admire the loyalty of the family's children to the family. I have almost finished asking. Mr. Lu can take a rest and then we will Sent back to King Zhai.

I hope it will be helpful to your investigation.

I hope so too. Guan Zhuqian stood up. The two men who never spoke went out first and waited in the corridor. She stood there thinking for a while and said, Mr. Lu, have you ever thought that he is really the first person in the world? The heir to the Eight Planets?”

Lu Linbei was stunned, Are you talking about fantasy? Of course, everyone on the seven planets has this fantasy to some extent.

It's not a fantasy, it's a serious consideration.

It's impossible. If I were really the heir, neither the family nor the Emergency Department would be willing to sacrifice me.

Well, you are talking about that assassination. I will not provide direct evidence. What I am going to say next, you choose to believe it or not: According to the information obtained by Star Alliance and the Group, the person who assassinated you and the assassin Shao Yunyuan They are not the same person, and their purposes are also different. So, you might as well think about it carefully.
