When Mr. Qiu heard this, he laughed, and then gestured to me and drove away.

I sat and waited for a while, thinking it wouldn't be interesting to wait any longer, so I took a taxi and went home.

That night, as soon as it got dark, Qiu Lao's phone came, and he took Ding Ling to a seafood city that was well-known in the local area, ordered a table of dishes, and the four of them gathered in the private room to eat and drink, and the topic was pulled from the east to the west, and from the west to the north, and they went around for a long time, but they didn't get serious things.

"Something happened on our side." With a deep groan, Qiu Lao said.

"More or less, I know a little." Nodding, I'm not pretending to be stupid.

"How much do you know?" Qiu Lao said, raising his eyelids and looking at me meaningfully, I shook my head and said, "Maybe it's more than you think." ”

"Oh." Nodding, Qiu Lao didn't say any more.

"Now, this matter is not so important to you, if you don't mind, you can tell me the truth, and I will definitely keep it secret for you." I said, smiling bitterly, at this time, Qiu Lao changed his open-minded attitude in the past, put the chopsticks on the plate, leaned back, and then sighed and said to me: "Many years ago, I worked in the Provincial Public Security Department, and suddenly received a call from above, saying that I should go to the imperial capital to report. ”

Qiu Lao said, with a little emotion, I looked at him, but he didn't squeak.

"When I got there, I met a lot of good people whose names I had not seen, and with them, we formed a group, and then, as a highly secret organization, we received training and education in all aspects, and finally, when we were about to finish our studies, we were given a very strange task."

Qiu Lao said, gestured for a moment, and then leaned forward and said to me: "So long, so wide, a pile of yellow paper in a large envelope, stamped with the secret seal of the military commander. ”

"What's in there?" Suddenly remembered the gossip that Xiao Ai told me, I asked.

"An absurd story of chattering." Qiu Lao said, sighed, and then picked up the liquor to fill himself, and continued with a wine glass: "They want us to find out the story that I don't know when it happened, and let us find out what the people in the story want to get but haven't got, for this reason, they mobilized a lot of manpower and resources, and also set up a special operation group subordinate to the high-level, which is the predecessor of our teams." ”

"Later, with the gradual increase of tasks, the division of labor of various departments also overlapped, so, after a series of reforms, the original group divided into many secondary institutions, the three groups under my jurisdiction, is one of them, back then, Group X was responsible for these things, its goal, is the so-called elixir of immortality. Later, after some setbacks, the group disappeared, and after a few years, it has been in a state of nominal and insubstantial, until, later, Mao Xianfang and his party were found out, and the people above regained confidence in the plan that had been abandoned for many years, so the X team was re-established, and I, directly responsible for the management of this group, to tell you the truth, our most ideal candidate, in fact, is not you, nor Xia Yu's little ghost, of course, not Ding Ling Xiaoai them, our earliest selected person, is your master, Jin Jiuling. ”

Qiu Lao said, shook his head a little embarrassedly, and then said: "Of course, these are all our wishful thinking, back then, some very unpleasant things happened, so that you people in the rivers and lakes have a deep misunderstanding of us, when we found Jin Jiuling, he directly rejected us, not only him, but also several masters of your nine-character generation, all refused, Lin Jiuying, Chen Jiuxuan, all." ”

"So, you retreated and found me." I seem to understand why, I said.

"Yes. Although I am a little embarrassed to tell you, but, the situation at that time was indeed like this, you are the only descendant of Jin Jiuling, and it has nothing to do with the misunderstanding back then, we think that you are a good candidate, but later, the people above felt that my decision was too hasty, and this matter was too important to just find someone to make up the number, so there was a later thing. ”

"I don't understand." Shaking my head, I said.

"Don't understand what?" The other party said, stunned.

"In your opinion, anyone in Group X is more reliable than me? Lao Yang doesn't talk about it, the old criminal policeman is one, there is nothing to think about, Jingjing doesn't say it, your granddaughter is not an outsider, but what about Ding Ling, what about Xiao Ai? Born as a killer, there are more homicides under his hands than all the monsters I have ever caught, is this kind of female devil more reliable than me? Did I do something unreasonable to make them think that it wasn't a thing, or was there something wrong with their brains being gnawed by bugs? Don't you think it's hard to accept this kind of thing? ”

I said, Yan zhòng disdainful shì, at this time, Qiu Jianguo smiled bitterly and said to me: "In their opinion, Xiao Ai and Ding Ling are all good comrades, they are indeed killers, but they are forced to do so, after many years of investigation, we have reason to believe that these two women have a certain spirit of sacrifice and lofty political consciousness, and they are people we can trust." ”

"Sacrificial spirit" snorted coldly, I turned my head to look at Ding Ling, Ding Ling heard this, covered her cheeks and didn't dare to raise it.

"Don't look, don't you know what you've done yourself? That's right, at the beginning, Ding Ling was indeed a special agent arranged by us by your side, and its main purpose was to monitor your actions and investigate your mental state. Qiu Lao said, spreading his hands.

"The result?" With a cold snort, I asked.

"The meat bun beat the dog." Qiu Lao said, quite helpless.

"Okay." As soon as these words came out, I felt much more balanced at that time, and stretched out my hand to pinch Ding Ling's little face, and Ding Ling glanced at me and was embarrassed to refute more. I lowered my head, took out my own hard drive in my bag, pushed it forward and handed it to him, and then said: "This is my data disk, the things I know and the clues I have mastered, are all in it, including the life experience of the nine-headed Xiangliu and some things about the so-called elixir of immortality, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, I think, you have misunderstood something." ”
