The wet towel was still in Shi Qinghai's hand, and seeing that the man opened his mouth, ready to scold in despair, he directly stuffed the towel in. He shoved it so hard that the corners of the man's lips were torn, and blood flowed down the corners of his lips that had been soaked into white flesh.

With the direction of the waves, the fishing raft began to move without the traction of the connecting valve. Shi Qinghai no longer paid attention to the man who was tied to the fish raft and struggled desperately, tightened the travel backpack on his body, walked out of the hut, jumped lightly, and landed on another fishing row, only his left leg paused slightly.

He turned around and watched the fishing raft in front of him drift slowly away into the distance on the black sea, listening to the faintly muffled voices and struggles.

The two operations forced out some useful intelligence clues, although there was no way to directly point to Medellin, but Shi Qinghai knew that what he could do had already been done. He made copies of the information he had obtained in three attachments and sent them to three separate persons. An e-mail was sent to the Capital District Daily, which is known for its liberal overtones, an e-mail was sent to the Capital District Attorney's Office, and finally to Xu Le.

With the disappearance of two important subordinates hidden in the darkness in quick succession, the office of the Medellín parliamentarian will surely attract a considerable degree of attention, and then quietly pounce forward as he did in previous months, and cut off a piece of Medellín's flesh with a knife, an action that is pleasant but difficult to repeat.

Shi Qinghai knew that the fishing raft that was gradually moving away should be his last action. He narrowed his eyes, what he had to do was done, and it was up to the federal government and the big people to react.

Jumping from one fishing row to another, and walking in the direction of landing, he hummed a tune gently, forgetting the injury on his leg, and only feeling extremely happy. The travel backpack on his back is swinging one after another, with a large flower shirt and beach pants. And the pair of freshly put on, sea-stained sneakers that made him look like a backpacker with a late sea view.

He's just a tourist. The Avengers who walk in the night. Tens of billions of people in the federation were touched by Medellín and trusted that person, there were people in the federation who supported Medellín, there were other collaborators in the seven major states, and the people of the four states around the mountains loved him wildly, compared to this politician. He's so small.

But Shi Qinghai insisted, because he knew that Xu Le must be insisting on doing something. Even though they don't know each other's plans, they don't feel alone as long as they know that someone is with them.

The sneakers stepped on the rough sand and gravel, and Shi Qinghai looked at the wide sea. Feeling a little powerless, he didn't know if he could bring down Medellín with the things he had investigated. After a moment of silence, he pulled a brand new phone out of his travel backpack and dialed a number that had been in his mind.

"Hello, this is Nelson's dry goods store, what do you need help with?" a deep, deep voice came from the other end of the line, and it was late at night. The man didn't seem to have the slightest hint of surprise or boredom.

Shi Qinghai said into the phone: "I have some professional needs. ”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Said cautiously: "Which regular customer introduced it?" Shi Qinghai said a name. There were two intelligence networks, the FBI and the anti-government army, and he was wanted before he became a wanted man. I have a lot of useful information, such as the black gun merchant called Nelson's Dry Goods Center. Shi Qinghai stood under the sea cliff. Carrying his bags, he said, "I want a gun, a big gun." ”

worked sleepless for two days and three nights in Hong Kong, although he made up for it afterwards, but after a battle with the bodyguard of the Lin family, and then traveled thousands of miles overnight, Xu Le was not an iron man after all, so he fell asleep beside Zou Yu's bed.

He stretched his somewhat sour body, not wanting to alarm the mother and son who were sleeping sweetly on the bed, and quietly walked out of the ward, but saw two orderlies who were standing guard outside. Xu Ledi's eyes fell on the pistols pinned to the waists of the two soldiers very keenly, and his heart moved slightly.

There is power when there is a gun, and the bigger the gun, the more powerful it is.

Xu Le has seen a lot of arrogant characters in the Federation in the past two years, especially the second-generation children of the Seven Great Lands, who flashed in front of him like a slideshow and then disappeared. The children of these families often have bodyguards around them who are skilled and like carved out of a mold, such as Brother Zeng, such as Uncle Kong.

But what impressed him the most was the Zou brothers and sisters at the door of the store in Linhai Prefecture. Although the Zou family is definitely not as powerful as those real families, Zou Yingxing was only the logistics director of the Federal Ministry of Defense at that time.

This is probably the real reason why the Seven Families have penetrated into every corner of society, but still have to abide by certain rules, and the real reason why they play a role in public is that the military of the Federation has always been firmly in the hands of the government.

The two soldiers guarding the door did not squint, as if they didn't see Xu Le go out at all. Xu Le rubbed his head, and had a trace of doubt, although Zou Yu's father was a popular candidate for defense minister in the next cabinet, it was impossible for her to be qualified to let two active-duty soldiers stand guard when she gave birth. ※―

This is the Army General Hospital, which is common among soldiers, but the news media in the capital have always been pervasive and merciless, and if this matter is reported out, Vice Minister Zou will have a lot of pressure on him.

"Wake up, let's go eat breakfast first." ”

A middle-aged woman walked out from behind the orderly, holding a portable automatic heating box in her hand, the traces of time in the corners of her eyes were very clear, but she was well maintained, and she couldn't tell how old she was.

Xu Le was slightly stunned, looking at the traces in this aunt's facial features that seemed to be distinguishable, and immediately guessed who the other party was, but he didn't expect the other party to talk to him in such an amiable tone, so he hurriedly took the thing in her hand, bowed his head and said, "Auntie, morning." ”

"Madam, the general is waiting to see him. A soldier next to him reminded in a low voice.

"I said that he had breakfast, and he only came back from out of town, but I am afraid that he has not eaten for a long time. The lady looked at the orderly in embarrassment and whispered.

Only then did Xu Le understand why there were two orderly soldiers standing at the door of the ward.

This breakfast was not very comfortable, Zou Yu's mother's smile was very sincere, but it was this sincerity that made him a little flustered, it seems that the Zou family is in addition to the scheming minister and general, whether it is Zou Yu or this lady, they all regard Xu Le as a real son-in-law or brother-in-law.

After meeting Vice Minister Zou at the Galaxy Cemetery, the Zou family seemed to look down on Zou Yu's unexpected pregnancy, and even after Zou Yu moved home, her mother often muttered why Xu Le didn't come to the door. Not the kind of resentment, but the kind of curiosity. When I saw it today, this minister's wife was really completely different from what Xu Le imagined, but more like the kind of housewife common in small towns.

While Zou Yu's mother was going to run errands, Xu Le wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at Zou Yu and smiled bitterly.

Liuhuo was still asleep, Zou Yu half leaned on the hospital bed, drank porridge without any pity, and said: "My mother joined the army at the age of sixteen and has been working in the final assembly base, logistics, medical care, hygiene, everything, anyway, with my father's constant migration, I have developed such a character. It is estimated that she went to chat with some old colleagues at this time, she seems to have a few old friends who are directors in the general hospital, and she doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for her father to be this official, who would pay attention to her. ”

This sentence is not good to hear, Xu Le's eyes narrowed, and he was about to educate Zou Yu a few words like in the apartment, when he suddenly thought that the other party had just given birth, and he regretted that it was a sensitive period, and it was not good for him to train her to be depressed after pregnancy. He put the finished lunch box in the bathroom attached to the ward, said hello to Zou Yu, and left with the two orderly soldiers who had been guarding him.

At this moment, he would rather face the deputy minister of defense who is so powerful and does not know how to clean up his own than the minister's wife, who is as passionate as a real son-in-law.

The two orderlies, like escorting prisoners, took Xu Le into a military vehicle and drove away from the Army General Hospital. The military vehicle didn't drive long before it stopped in front of a hotel building that was separate from the depths of the forest garden.

Yunhou Hotel, a special reception venue for the federal military, for countless years, I don't know how many war orders were issued from the conference room here. The shade of the green trees and the cool morning breeze made the capital's employees a little timid around this hotel, Xu Le stood in front of the hotel, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and didn't understand why Vice Minister Zou was here to see him.

"Recently, a joint meeting of the chiefs of staff was being held, and the chief did not have time to leave the hotel. An orderly probably guessed Xu Le's doubts and explained.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff is an important body of the federal government for overall planning of military-related issues, nominally under the Department of Defense, but in fact the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is personally appointed by the president.

It seems that the federal government has been preparing something lately, but it is unclear whether it will be against the rebels in the S2 mountains or the increasingly hardline posture on the Empire's side. Xu Le narrowed his eyes, and under the leadership of the orderly, he entered the annex of the Yunhou Hotel and came to the door of a room.

"Report to the chief, the man has been brought. ”

"Come in. ”

The heavy solid wooden door slowly opened, the heavy red carpet was spread under his feet, and a secretary-like person in civilian clothes smiled at Xu Le, led him in, and then closed the wooden door casually.

A general's uniform was resting haphazardly on the table, and two gold stars were shining secretly. Zou Yingxing, who was wearing an ordinary white shirt, sat on an old-fashioned sofa in pale earth color, wearing a pair of glasses and carefully looking at a document.
