Spy Family

(Updated on Sunday)

Ru Hongshang wears a strange tight-fitting long skirt, bright gray. As she moves and the surrounding light changes, her body sparkles, and a fish embroidered on her chest swims gracefully, lifelike, as if it is about to jump out.

Such a skirt would be a bit exaggerated even for public events, but she wore it to meet ordinary guests.

Lu Linbei guessed that in this way, the guests would not notice the female star's slightly out-of-shape figure and appearance.

In fact, she was still unrivaled in beauty, not much worse than when she was at her peak. As soon as she entered the room, the first thing she noticed was the images hanging on the wall. She left her companions aside, walked to the male guest, and smiled. : This is a photo of me when I was seventeen, and few people noticed.

I happened to see it, Lu Linbei replied. He glanced at Mei Wangzhen and Cheng Toushi walking to the other side to talk, so he knew that he had to stay with Ru Hongshang.

Haha, you are a young man who has not yet learned how to please women. He is so cute. What were you doing when you were seventeen?

Studying, middle school. Lu Linbei replied truthfully. A strong fragrance filled his nose, which was mellower than Chen Manchi's fortune-telling shop. He even felt that he would encounter obvious resistance when he exhaled.

I'm wandering. Ru Hongshang said with a hint of pride. In the stills, she mostly showed herself to be cold and noble, but in reality she was much more easy-going, Through the bustling world, embrace the desolation. Once, we ran out of money. Batteries, no lights, forced to give up all contemporary entertainment and protection, everyone sat together, two or three people wrapped in a blanket, looking up at the stars, that feeling will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

No one started a fire? Lu Linbei asked.

Ru Hongshang turned her head and looked at the male guest carefully for the first time. A charming smile appeared on her face. Although there was only a glimmer of light in the smile, it was enough to suppress the water skirt on her body. Are the things you pay attention to always so strange?

Lu Linbei's face turned slightly red, Sorry, I was just... imagining the scene at that time.

Interesting, can you imagine what this picture looks like?

The background of the photo is a gray-yellow desert, with mountains in the distance. The owner of the photo is wearing an embroidered dress, stepping barefoot on the ground, with long hair flying in the wind, eyes narrowed, and traces of sunburn on his face, exuding a bit of a weird look. Smile, as if the body and mind are extremely relaxed, about to fall into the arms of the wild wind, floating in the air.

What are you thinking of? Ru Hongshang asked again. She looked completely different now than she did then.

Lu Linbei stared at the photo for a while, I think of... the person who took the photo of you. I don't know how to describe it.

Ru Hongshang did not smile or refute. She reached out and took off the photo frame from the wall, pulled out the photo inside, turned it over and showed it to the guests. She held it in her hand, obviously not wanting others to touch it with their fingers.

There are several lines of handwritten words on the back of the photo. The first two lines are slightly larger, slanted and quite random:

Whose sadness is it?

Blows into my face.

The two lines below are written in slightly smaller size:

Come and get it quickly,

Stop hiding.

At the end was an extremely scrawled signature that Lu Linbei couldn't recognize.

Is this... a poem? Lu Linbei asked uncertainly.

Ru Hongshang clenched her left hand into a fist and pressed it on her mouth to block the laughter that was about to burst out. It may also be a designed action by her to make her smile more attractive, A cute young man like you must be Never been in love.

Lu Linbei's face turned redder and he smiled and said, Sorry, I really don't understand this.

Ru Hongshang put the photo away, hung it back up, and carefully adjusted it a few times. If you need to 'understand' it, the poem is no longer a poem.

Lu Linbei felt that he was as clumsy as an animal in a cage, completely unable to understand various human behaviors.

Lu Linbei. Mei Wangzhen on the other end rescued him.

Lu Linbei nodded apologetically to Ru Hongshang and walked over quickly.

The conversation here was about to end. Lu Linbei was called over to add another witness. Cheng Toushi was obviously not comfortable handing over important words to a female investigator alone.

Go back and tell Meili Tao. Cheng Toushi stopped at Lu Linbei's face for some reason, Tell him not to make random suspicions. The situation has not changed at the moment. The Joint Committee did make some concessions to the Star Alliance, remember. Live, it is the Star Alliance, not Uranus, but the overall pattern has not changed. War? How could there be a war? King Zhai can close all space stations at any time and cut off all contact with aliens. Uranus leaves a spaceship that can set off How big is the storm? When you asked Meili Tao to come out, you didn't ask him to meddle in other people's business. It was his only responsibility to find out the culprit behind the missile and garbage island incident as soon as possible and give an explanation to the Joint Committee and the Star Alliance. Tell Meili Tao, The minister is not satisfied with the current progress. Remember?

I remember. Lu Linbei replied, but Mei Wangzhen didn't say a word.

Also, I don't like this method of contact. Next time Meritao sends someone, I hope they will bring answers instead of questions.

Understood. Lu Linbei still answered.

Cheng Toushi didn't even announce the end of the conversation, he walked straight towards Ru Hongshang, his steps became relaxed, and his whole person changed from winter to spring, even his back showed enthusiasm and joy.

It seems we can go. Mei Wangzhen whispered.

Ru Hongshang seemed to be unsteady on her feet, so Cheng Toushi quickened his pace and helped the beauty in time.

After getting in the car and driving out of the gate, Lu Linbei asked doubtfully, Was she crying when we left?

Mei Wangzhen smiled and said: Ordinary people cry, but they are sentimental and sad, and their minds are so sensitive that they can detect the passage of every second of time.

You know her well?

Ha, this is what she said herself during an interview. I just happened to read it. Did you know? Before she became famous, her name was even weirder, called Hongshang, which is a wound. The company changed her name to her current name.

She doesn't look like a spy at all.

Don't be so sure. Most peripheral spies are not like that. This is their best cover. Of course, I don't believe that this is a spy. By the way, before Cheng Toushi came in, you said What does her picture look like?”

Oh, I want to say it's not like the other photos on the wall. Lu Linbei had changed his mind and did not want to reveal his true thoughts at that time.

Of course, seventeen years old and...who knows how old she is now, can it be compared?

The two went directly back to the diplomatic apartment to report to their third uncle.

The third uncle found two more helpers. He was sleeping, but one of the helpers had already been reminded. As soon as he saw Mei Wangzhen and Lu Linbei, he took them into the third uncle's bedroom.

The bedroom was a standard single room in a diplomatic apartment, with a small light on. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the third uncle stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, picked up a glass of water on the bedside table and took a sip, Let's talk about it. .

Mei Wangzhen roughly recounted Cheng Toushi's words, and then analyzed: Cheng Toushi is fierce in appearance but weak in heart. The situation of the Ministry of Government Affairs and the Joint Committee is likely to be exactly the opposite of what he promised, and he is almost unable to withstand the pressure of King Xing. The minister is under pressure to find out the results, just to gain a little more leverage in the negotiations.

Yeah. The third uncle was noncommittal.

Mei Wangzhen had never discussed this matter on the road, and now he said to Lu Linbei: You should also tell me.

Third uncle also looked over.

Lu Linbei thought for a while, My judgment is the same as that of Xi Wangzhen.

The third uncle rubbed his face and thought for a while, Not long ago, the police arrested some people, all members of the engine organization. They have confessed and were responsible for the missile incident. They used a ground-to-air spacecraft company as a cover, and under normal circumstances During the production break, important parts were made, and then other parts were purchased in batches and smuggled to the garbage island. The missiles were not completely assembled. Two of them were not equipped with explosive parts, and the other three were not very powerful. They were all destroyed. Shot down by a spaceship from Uranus.

Sure enough, King Uranus had tampered with the spaceship. Mei Wangzhen glanced at Lu Linbei, who had discussed this possibility a long time ago.

So, what hangs above our heads is not a cargo spacecraft, but the largest battleship in human history. The third uncle rubbed his face again, his voice unchanged.

What about the garbage island incident? Was it also planned by the engine organization? Mei Wangzhen asked.

The third uncle shook his head, They are some residents of the island. They have no connection with any extremist organization.

Do they have such ability? Mei Wangzhen occasionally visits the island and has a deep understanding of the islanders.

This is a technology called 'magnetic sorting'. It has been around for hundreds of years. It uses the small amount of electricity remaining in electronic waste to create a single-dimensional arrangement. I don't know the specific meaning. In short, the original purpose is to sort the garbage into piles. It is extremely high and will not collapse easily. I don’t know who improved the technology. The islanders do not admit that there is a key person. According to them, this is the collective wisdom to dig out a strong enough residence in the garbage heap.”

There are also toys for children. Mei Wangzhen added.

Two things led to the garbage island incident. One was a large-scale search by the police. It was rumored that the city government was going to clean up the garbage on the island and all the residents would move away. The other was that Future Whip did leave an explosive device behind. There was no When the police arrived, they did not wait to detonate it. It was discovered by the islanders first and then dismantled into parts.

Ha, the islanders treat it as rubbish? Future Whip underestimated these people's understanding of the island.

They also underestimated their hands-on ability. The third uncle's eyes shook half a circle, as if he rolled his eyes, and he didn't know which party he was expressing disdain for. For the islanders, the most valuable part of the device is not the explosive. It’s chips and batteries, so they plan to build a ‘junk superman’ to fight the police.”

The person who came up with this idea is really a genius. Mei Wangzhen interjected.

But what the 'genius' didn't expect was that before the garbage could grow into a human shape, it collapsed and turned into a multi-legged monster.

Why does it have to be in human form? Lu Linbei interjected for the first time, If it is to be used as a weapon, the human form does not have any advantages. It is better to make it into a multi-legged shape from the beginning.

Because they are not military experts, they think the tall 'garbage superman' is more intimidating. The third uncle said.

Where is that 'genius'? Did you catch him? Mei Wangzhen was more concerned about this matter.

It's not one person, it's a group of eight young people who don't know the heights of the world. They are all being detained.

Nong Xingwen's deliberately hidden plan was actually ruined by a few ignorant islanders? Mei Wangzhen had identified Zhao Songting as Nong Xingwen and laughed out loud, I really hope to see his expression now.

Everything has been found out, and the minister should be satisfied. Lu Linbei said.

It's useless. The Ministry of Government and the Joint Committee don't believe in such a coincidence because they don't think Uranus and the Star Alliance will believe it.

They think they are spies? Does Third Uncle believe it? Mei Wangzhen asked.

I believe in the facts and conclusions of the police investigation, but I don't believe in coincidence.

Mei Wangzhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: The Future Whip, the engine, and the islanders all received help from the same person or the same group of people.

Mei Wangzhen, your next task is to find out who is behind the scenes. You can choose five team members.

Mei Wangzhen looked at Lu Linbei, and his third uncle said: If he can't do it, I have other arrangements. In fact, he decided to arrange Lu Linbei first, You can go and have a rest. You can meet someone tomorrow afternoon. Specific details. We’ll discuss the situation tomorrow morning.”

Lu Linbei resigned and did not go to bed. Instead, he went outside the building to take a breath and contact Chen Manchi.

No such person found.

The chip in the body quickly responded, not that the call was not connected, not that the line was busy, but that the person was not found.

The photo of Ru Hongshang when she was seventeen appeared in his mind again.
