Spy Family

Zhao Songting couldn't stop laughing.

Mei Wangzhen's face gradually showed a look of horror.

Lu Linbei stared at the person on trial. He made a bold guess and now he must get an answer.

The laughter stopped, and Zhao Songting looked at Mei Wangzhen, with a smile still in his voice, "We have actually met, and I saw your characteristics early on. You are the kind of person who likes to be close to flames and stand on cliffs." On the edge, dare to stare into the abyss and the devil, just a little bit, I can pull you over, just a little bit. I often think..."

Lu Linbei turned to Mei Wangzhen and said sternly: "Go and inform the superiors."

Mei Wangzhen didn't react, so Lu Linbei raised his voice and called out her name.

"The notice...is..." Mei Wangzhen ran out of the interrogation room in a hurry. He only took a few steps, but his heart was beating wildly. But his mind had calmed down, so he immediately informed his third uncle, and then stood guard outside the door, hoping that his third uncle would be able to compare. People from the police headquarters arrived first.

In the interrogation room, Zhao Songting stopped smiling and no longer had the obvious panic, "You are also an interstellar orphan. I have studied your information. Whether you can escape the assassination, whether it is because of your great ability or good luck, it is worth studying."

Lu Linbei knew in his heart that he didn't have much time. Soon, either the Emergency Department or the Police Headquarters would come to snatch this precious suspect.

Even so, he still chose to advance step by step and asked: "What have you researched?"

"For people like us, it is one test after another from birth to death. Those normal children have self-evident rights at birth, but we have to fight for and prove, even if it is a simple title, such as 'Mom,' we also have to fight to make ourselves meet a certain standard before we can speak out with confidence. It's very tiring and unfair."

Zhao Songting said it was unfair, but his tone was extremely calm, like a habitual arson criminal who knew the power of the fire but just threw out the cigarette butts when he started.

"So you become more and more silent because you are too lazy to speak. You still have to work harder and harder because you have to keep facing exams. But what about getting high scores or even full marks? You are still not one of them. , never. You are a tool person with specific functions and uses, and are placed in a specific position. No matter how good you are, you can only add one or two functions. Haven't you ever thought about other options and other options? life?"

"I was thinking -" Lu Linbei didn't see the flames in the other person's eyes, but he could already feel the deep passion, "You started saying 'we', but why did it suddenly become 'you'?"

Zhao Songting smiled slightly, "You noticed. Because 'we' had the same beginning, interstellar orphans, dependent on others, feeling uneasy about their own existence since childhood, always trying to prove their worth. But 'suddenly', the roads parted, and no one could Then there is 'us': you walk on the old road, just be a tool man, continue to take exams, and strive for perfect scores; I woke up and threw away all the test papers. Now, I am the one who poses questions to the world, and they can't answer them well. Great."

"You just caused a little trouble and you were already caught." Lu Linbei reminded.

"I haven't announced the end of the exam yet." Zhao Songting showed an ambiguous smile, as if he had secretly reached some kind of ulterior deal with the other party.

"It's not up to you to make the announcement." Lu Linbei lowered his eyes slightly, acting as if he was tired of hearing it. In fact, he was fully on guard to prevent the thought that he shouldn't have from coming up: Although this is an extremist, his words make sense. .

"After 'awakening', you are just an ordinary chess piece." Lu Linbei began to fight back. He had to make full use of the remaining limited time. "Your persuasion skills were learned from Lin Weifeng. To be precise, He is not impressed by you, let alone admitting that you are his student. Moreover, you did not learn very well. You controlled multiple accounts in the game, but only convinced nine people. They were not moved by your words. Instead, I was seduced by the novel technology you provided. In this exam, your score was barely passing."

Zhao Songting did not refute, there was no smile on his face, and his eyes were cold.

"As for those technologies, you didn't develop them. You don't even have the ability to improve them. You can only try to sell them out like a middleman. You are employed by others and obey orders in everything. You have no choice at all... "

Zhao Songting raised his head slightly, and the expression he showed was not anger or indifference, but pride, "Stop this, you and I, neither one can convince the other, let time and facts prove everything."

He shut his mouth.

Lu Linbei suddenly felt a sense of frustration in his heart, knowing that he could never pry open this mouth again, but he still wanted to try again, even if he could dig out some clues from the silence...

He's out of time.

The door of the interrogation room was knocked open, and several unfamiliar plainclothes policemen rushed in. Two of them went to unlock Zhao Songting's handcuffs, and one stood in front of Lu Linbei and said coldly: "The Police Headquarters takes over the suspect, please immediately leave."

Lu Linbei did not intend to engage in a meaningless fight, so he stood up slowly and walked out of the interrogation room under the watchful eyes of the police. In the corridor, Mei Wang really confronted three other police officers and was stopped in a corner with no way to escape.

"We can go." Lu Linbei said.

"But..." Mei Wangzhen still wanted to argue again.

"We are in a cooperative relationship and should respect each other. The Secretary will not criticize us for this."

Only then did Mei Wangzhen angrily give up the argument and walk out together with Lu Linbei. Three policemen followed closely behind them until they were sent out of the door.

"The police headquarters is relatively close to here and has an advantage over Third Uncle." Mei Wangzhen sighed, "When you found out his true identity, why didn't you hide it in your heart and wait for Third Uncle to take him there?"

"Because I didn't discover his true identity."

The two got into the car. Mei Wangzhen didn't start the car and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's just an interrogation technique. Reveal some pieces of information, pretend to have more in mind, and then observe the other party's reaction and adapt accordingly. I said he was Nong Xingwen, waiting for him to deny it, and then said that he was deceived and used by Nong Xingwen to provoke him. Suspicion and fear, I didn't expect him to admit it. We have all learned this skill."

"Have you learned it?" Mei Wangzhen thought for a while, "It seems that I have learned it, but it seems to be different from what you do."

"Things in the classroom have to change in reality." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

"But... what you said was true and very reasonable. Even I believed it."

"There were only two things I could confirm at the time: one was that he was not eliminated by the extremist organization, and the other was that he pretended to be normal. These are the only two things that I can confirm now."

Mei Wangzhen was even more confused, "Are you not even sure he is Nong Xingwen? He has admitted it and said those words to me..."

"What he said can only prove that Nong Xingwen remembers you and is probably still alive, but it is not 100%. Zhao Songting admitted all this. It may be a momentary mistake and I defrauded the truth, or he may have used a trick to protect the real person. Nongxingwen.”

"Is there anything else that can be confirmed?"

"There are still people who have not been arrested." Lu Linbei said firmly.

Mei Wangzhen drove to the emergency department. On the way, she said: "It seems you are right again. After my third uncle learned the news, he didn't go to rob people or contact me. He probably had the same idea as you, thinking Everything is still uncertain.”

In the diplomatic apartment, the third uncle did not show any excitement at all. He stopped what he was doing and said, "The task has been completed. Wangzhen is staying on standby. Lao Bei is going home and on standby."

"Yes." Lu Linbei turned to leave, but was grabbed by Mei Wangzhen.

"Third uncle, at least I have an explanation."

"Explain? What are you confessing?" The third uncle was a little harsh, but it was not enough to deter Mei Wangzhen at this time.

"Is Zhao Songting actually Nong Xingwen? Has he confessed anything? What should we do next?"

The third uncle added a more stern expression, but still failed, so he said: "The Police Headquarters is re-investigating Nong Xingwen's experience in Zhao Wangxing. The investigators stationed there from the Emergency Department will go to visit on the spot. Is that enough?"

"But……"

"I'm very busy now, don't cause trouble to me." The third uncle lowered his head and really ignored them.

Mei Wangzhen sent Lu Linbei outside the apartment, "My third uncle disappoints me. When the old director died, it seemed that his soul was also taken away, and he became more conservative in doing things."

"Uncle Third probably has no choice, and it is difficult for us to continue our investigation. Regardless of whether Zhao Songting used the pseudonym Nong Xingwen or not, he will never speak again."

"I will continue to keep an eye on it. At least you can find out one thing: there are still fish that have slipped through the net. You can drive my car home."

"Thank you. I want to walk for a while and collect my thoughts."

"You must tell me what comes to mind." Mei Wangzhen said with a smile.

"certainly."

Lu Linbei did walk home, but he couldn't organize his thoughts and kept getting distracted. In the end, he took the subway.

It was evening when they got home, and Chen Manchi was obviously still in the store. Lu Linbei wanted to sit facing the window for a while, but he fell down and fell asleep in less than half a minute.

He didn't sleep all day and night, he was too tired, especially the last battle with Zhao Songting, which exhausted all his energy.

It was late at night when he woke up. He was lying on the bed, covered with a thin blanket and still wearing clothes, but his shoes had been taken off.

Lu Linbei quietly went to the ground, and a voice immediately came from outside, "Are you awake?"

"Yes, what time is it?"

"It's almost twelve o'clock."

Lu Linbei came to the living room and saw Chen Manchi sitting at the dining table, playing with cards with the help of the light in the kitchen.

"Thank you."

"Hmm, you are quite heavy."

Chen Manchi pushed a glass of water over, and Lu Linbei picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

"anything else?"

"No."

"Okay, I'm going to bed." Chen slowly packed up the cards and went into the house.

Lu Linbei felt that he should say something, but the opportunity was fleeting. Before he could think of the right words, the bedroom door had been closed.

"It would be much easier if she was a prisoner." Lu Linbei whispered, got up and went to take a shower, but couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, so he thought back to the interrogation process, especially Zhao Songting's final performance, and felt more certain: Then It's Nong Xingwen, but above him, there must be an messenger.

"Home Star Territory" is a magical old game. Spies and extremist organizations are using it. Lu Linbei wants to study it carefully, but he lacks energy and direction.

He sat up, entered the game on the microcomputer placed by the bedside, and opened his mailbox.

Mao Kongshan sent two emails. There was not much new content. Attached was a draft of the paper, which had already written tens of thousands of words.

Lu Linbei didn't even finish reading the introductory part before he felt so sleepy that he turned off the microcomputer and fell asleep again.

In the morning, he got up on time, ate normally, and watched Chen slowly leave, but still couldn't think of the right words.

The secret message equipment was destroyed and no new mission came. Lu Linbei had nothing to do. He read Mao Kongshan's paper for a while, then went to stand in front of the bedroom window to rest and watch the situation on the river.

There are more police ships, and the search for the garbage island is not over yet. The island is not large, but the mountains of garbage have created countless winding paths and secret spaces, making a comprehensive inspection a huge project.

Mei Wangzhen asked for a call, and Lu Linbei answered the call, hearing an urgent voice: "Quickly, get as far away from the garbage island as possible."
