Between mountains and seas

Chapter 136 Meeting

The news of Qi Tongmin's disappearance is actually not difficult to ascertain.Almost everyone present had his mobile phone number, both public and private, so after ten minutes, there was another wave of buzzing discussions in the conference room.

Su Zheng blushed: "Temporary loss of contact doesn't mean anything. You said that Deputy Director He was killed by Section Chief Qi. What's the evidence? How did you know about this?"

Yang Shuming took an evasive attitude towards the latter question, but threw another bomb: "Tang Jia has already been arrested. Vice Gu already knew about this, right?"

Everyone turned their attention to Gu Sheng, and after a while, Gu Sheng said slowly: "Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing have confirmed that Tang Jia is Miao Yinniao, but they haven't got any confession from who ordered her to kill."

Yang Shuming didn't seem to believe it at all, and sneered: "It's okay if Deputy Section Chief Gu wants to cover up, unless you don't bring Tang Jia to the headquarters, otherwise—"

Gu Sheng interrupted him: "On the way back, they encountered the phenomenon that the world of mountains and seas overlapped with this world. Shao Jingxing, Tang Jia and Wang Chenggang entered the world of mountains and seas and lost contact."

The latter sentence is tantamount to nonsense.Once you enter the world of mountains and seas, of course you will lose contact with the real world.Gu Sheng emphasized that this sentence coincided with Yang Shuming's sentence that Qi Tongmin had "lost contact", intentionally or unintentionally, and a smell of gunpowder permeated the air undisguisedly.

Yang Shuming was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "It's okay, there are other evidences. Deputy Section Chief Gu, don't worry, what Qi Tongmin has done is not one by one, and now the higher-ups have launched an investigation, and the truth will soon come to light .”

Su Zheng blushed and his neck was thick, but he didn't speak any more.He's not stupid. Since Yang Shuming said "an investigation has been launched", he has clues and evidence. Even if he hates Yang Shuming, if He Feng is involved, it's really... Everyone knows, He Feng That identity—to be honest, there were more than one Nuwa faction who wanted to kill him at the time.

If Su Zheng didn't believe Wang Xu's matter, then He Feng...even Su Zheng was not sure.

Gu Sheng was silent for a few seconds, did not answer Yang Shuming's words, but started another topic: "Since the superior has launched an investigation, let's wait for the results of the investigation. Now, let's discuss the overlap between the world of mountains and seas and this world first." Phenomenon--"

Yang Shuming was stunned.He didn't expect that Gu Sheng would not answer his words, but directly opened another topic: "Wait!" He hasn't finished yet.

Gu Sheng glanced at him sideways: "There have only been five recorded overlapping phenomena between the world of mountains and seas and this world, and three of them have occurred in the past ten years, so we have reason to believe that this is due to the gradual loosening of the barrier over time. Caused. And the small-scale overlap is likely to become a large-scale, and the overlap time will be longer, so our first task now is—”

Yang Shuming couldn't help but interrupted Gu Sheng again: "The first task now is to arrest Qi Tongmin!" The probability of such an event overlapping the scope is very small, and this time the overlapping has ended, so there is no need to worry!

"Not in a hurry?" Gu Sheng finally turned his gaze to him this time, "You don't think this kind of thing is in a hurry? Do you know what the responsibility of the Special Affairs Department is?"

Yang Shuming became annoyed: "Deputy Section Chief Gu, don't change the subject. The facts of Qi Tongmin's crime will be investigated immediately. Do you think you will be fine if you don't talk about him now? Instead of talking about responsibility, you should think about you first. The chief of the special affairs department!"

"Without a section chief, the Special Affairs Section also has responsibilities." Gu Sheng said coldly, "Investigation is the job of the superior, and what we have to do is the work at hand."

Ji Xiaojiu rolled her eyes at the bottom, and said in a moderate voice: "Some people probably don't care about the overlapping areas. After all, the small area overlapping four years ago was created by Deputy Director He. People are not surprised. gone."

"What did you say!" Yang Shuming was not deaf, of course he heard it, and turned his head to stare at Ji Xiaojiu.

"I made it very clear." Ji Xiaojiu raised her head and raised her voice, "Four years ago, when Deputy Director He carried out the so-called 'Superman Project', it caused a small overlap between the world of mountains and seas and the real world. At that time, in addition to the casualties of those who participated in the plan, a criminal police team was searching for the two kidnappers nearby."

Yang Shuming obviously didn't know anything about the kidnappers, so he was a little dazed.For a while, only Ji Xiaojiu's voice was heard in the meeting room: "Those two kidnappers hijacked a kindergarten school bus with twelve children on board. They were already close to the school bus, but the overlapping of the two realms suddenly began, and the kidnapping Both the prisoner and the children were frightened by the sudden appearance of the strange beast, and fled in all directions, but in the end only twelve children were found, and two were missing in the world of mountains and seas."

There was silence in the conference room.Because it was an emergency meeting, not all the people came. Many people had never heard of this matter. After a while, someone asked: "Did you find it?"

"I haven't found it." Ji Xiaojiu said coldly, "The criminal police are not supernatural beings, so they were caught off guard. They also sacrificed three people in the process of saving the child. Not only that, the ten rescued One of the children was bitten by a strange beast, and after a week of treatment in the hospital, his body mutated and died."

Yang Shuming asked subconsciously: "How do you know..." And he knew it so clearly.

"Of course I know it clearly." Ji Xiaojiu sneered at him, "Because the captain of the criminal police who led the team at that time was my cousin. Two children were missing and another one died, which is a very serious consequence, although Due to supernatural force majeure, he was transferred from his original post."

Anyone whose child dies will go crazy. Even if there is a reason for this incident, someone must bear the consequences.The affairs of Shanhai World cannot be made public, so Ji Xiaojiu's cousin, as the captain of the criminal police, has an inescapable responsibility.It is said to be flat, but in fact, it is basically impossible for him to have any chance of promotion in the future.

Although it is said that Ji Xiaojiu, a cousin who has no supernatural talent, is not valued as much as those children of supernatural beings in the Ji family, but that is also the Ji family. Of course, we must carefully find out what is going on, and we can’t be blamed for no reason. .As a result of this investigation, it was found that He Feng was leading people to conduct experiments nearby.

"Fufu He's experiment was approved by the superior!" Yang Shuming was indeed a little surprised when he heard this at first, but his desire to defend He Feng prevailed.

"Yes——" Ji Xiaojiu drawled, "It was approved by the superiors, so the death is an accident, and the accident deserves it. Deputy Director He has no responsibility at all. This plan is very good, so it should be carried out all the time." —Long live the Gonggong faction, save mankind!"

There were laughter one after another in the meeting room.The special affairs department can be said to be dominated by the Nuwa faction, and everyone has no good impression of the Gonggong faction, so naturally they agree with Ji Xiaojiu.

Yang Shuming's face was flushed: "Deputy Director He is also here to cultivate supernatural beings!" He stood up abruptly, "Don't you know how many resources are available in the world of mountains and seas? Don't you know that if we are successful? A large-scale system of supernatural beings, what a powerful force this will be? Whether it is the Gonggong faction or Deputy Director He, it is just forging ahead, what is wrong with it!"

"What about ordinary people?" Gu Sheng looked up at him, "Don't you know what kind of price a person with supernatural powers will have to pay? The Superman Project conducted two experiments, and how many of the fifty volunteers appeared? Ability users? How many died? Don’t you know how the rest of the bodies are affected?”

"Volunteers are voluntary!" Of course Yang Shuming knew, because he was one of the volunteers, the lucky one.Among the children who died in the experiment were children who came out of the same orphanage as him. At that time, he was also very sad, but his companions lying on the hospital bed comforted him in turn—they volunteered to participate in this project together. With the dream of becoming a supernatural being to defend the country and develop the world of mountains and seas, even if someone dies before they leave school, they will watch their companions work hard on this road from the sky...

Anger finally appeared on Gu Sheng's face: "Volunteers are voluntary, so what about ordinary people who don't know? Every time the barrier is loosened, cracks are more likely to appear, and the overflowing power of mountains and seas is just a little more. These powers of mountains and seas It will eventually dissipate into the air, water, and cause damage to ordinary people. Do you think we need to disclose this to ordinary people? Or do you think ordinary people have no choice at all, and they have no right to choose, and can only let vested interests Stakeholders, let the elites make choices for them?"

Yang Shuming also felt very angry: "That's not the case!" He has never been an elitist. Is it because the Gonggong faction advocates the development of the world of mountains and seas for selfishness?

Gu Sheng said lightly: "Maybe it's not for selfishness, but to open the enchantment when the negative effects of the power of mountains and seas cannot be eliminated, it is irresponsible to ordinary people. If there are still illegal operations, it will be even more suspicious gone."

"What illegal operation!" Yang Shuming blushed and said, "Do you have evidence?"

"I have evidence." Gu Sheng said coldly, confronting each other without retreating half a step, "In fact, I have already collected evidence, but because He Feng fell ill suddenly, the doctor judged that it would be difficult to get better, so I didn't report it."

The meaning of these words is obviously to say, because the doctor has judged that He Feng is not going to get better, it is impossible to continue to work, let alone carry out any superman project, develop some mountain and sea world, so Gu Sheng stopped, no matter what. Go report him.

"What illegal operation!" Yang Shuming's voice trembled, "Show me evidence!"

"If you want to see it, I can give it to you after the meeting is over." Gu Sheng turned his head and stopped looking at him, "But now we have to study the overlap on the expressway, and if we have any questions, we can wait until the meeting is over."

Yang Shuming stared blankly at the gazes of everyone in the conference room for a while before he remembered: "This does not prove—" There is evidence of violations, and it does not prove that Qi Tongmin did not murder He Feng.And with the close relationship between Gu Sheng and Qi Tongmin, when Qi Tongmin lost contact and was investigated, he should avoid and wait for the investigation instead of hosting the meeting here!

Gu Sheng didn't turn his head this time: "It's an extraordinary time, so I don't consider avoiding it. Unless the superior officially launches an investigation on me and stops all my work. Okay, now let's take a look at the information provided by Huo Qing..."

"What an extraordinary time!" Yang Shuming was furious, "Gu Sheng, you and Qi Tongmin have always been close, you—"

"Enough!" Gu Sheng slammed the table, "Yang Shuming! This time, a small-scale overlap appeared on the highway for no reason, and there were strange beasts running out. If Huo Qing didn't stop it, the local village would probably Invaded by countless rats! What if such an overlap appears in the city center? You know what the consequences will be! You still don’t think this is an extraordinary period, so when will it be an extraordinary period!”

Gu Sheng's almost roaring voice was heard in the entire meeting room: "Yang Shuming, the special affairs department is not a place for you to intrigue and fight for power and profit! The special affairs department is a place to deal with special affairs and protect people's lives and safety! I don't want to fuck you Go out now and urge the higher authorities to quickly file a case against me and stop all my duties! But before that, I still have to perform my duties!"

In fact, the meeting didn’t really last too long, because the small-scale overlapping has only happened a few times so far, and it’s not as regular as the barrier cracks, so the real content of the meeting is actually to remind everyone that the barrier is more powerful. Vulnerable!

"Everywhere must carefully check the jurisdiction, not only the issue of overlap, but also report it immediately if there is any change in the crack pattern." Gu Sheng's face was tight, "The logistics side hastened to analyze, since we have found a scorpion The foot column, and the other three should also be found."

Deputy Section Chief Yan frowned like a knot, but he still nodded: "Logistics will hurry up." Theoretically, it can be done, but in fact, the world of mountains and seas is so big. The entire area has not been searched yet, and it is really not easy to find the other three pillars accurately.As for analyzing the talisman array of the entire mountain and sea world, it is even more difficult.

But now is not the time to complain.Doesn't Gu Sheng know that this is very difficult?However, the current situation is already very unfavorable to the special affairs department: Yu Gong, the appearance of small-scale overlapping for no reason proves that the barrier is already very fragile. Murder, or cultivating and using people with supernatural powers to kill people, this problem is extremely serious, and it will have a very bad impact on the entire special affairs department, especially Gu Sheng, the deputy head of the department...

No one has any objection to the investigation task.Although this work is certainly arduous and may not be fruitful, it must be done.

The conference room was soon empty. Ji Xiaojiu and Huang Yu glanced at each other, and cautiously approached Gu Sheng: "Uncle Gu—don't worry, we will definitely find out." Isn't it clear that Qi Tongmin doesn't need to commit any murders because of the evidence of Feng's illegal operation?

Gu Sheng shook his head.He stood against the podium in front of the conference room for a while, and glanced at Huang Yu: "Give me a cigarette."

Huang Yu was startled, and instinctively denied: "I, I don't have a cigarette..."

Gu Sheng looked at him, and a few seconds later, Huang Yu lowered his head, obediently took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and tried to defend himself: "Actually, I was planning to meet someone so that I could respect him for a cigarette or something... "

Gu Sheng didn't pursue him. He lit up a cigarette and took a strong puff, coughing a little - in fact, he usually doesn't smoke, after all, he can justly teach the young people under his command in this way.

"Uncle Gu—" Ji Xiaojiu felt something was wrong, and called out again.

Gu Sheng coughed twice and sighed deeply: "If there is no evidence for this matter, Yang Shuming will not openly criticize him."

"How is that possible!" Huang Yu didn't believe it, "Didn't he also show evidence? Besides, Uncle Gu, didn't you—"

Gu Sheng shook his head and interrupted him: "That illegal operation can at most make He Feng take a punishment, because the small-scale overlap did not occur because of his illegal operation."

If the death of the hostage was caused by He Feng's illegal operation, then Gu Sheng is sure to take him down directly, but in fact it is not, so the small-scale overlap cannot be said to be He Feng's responsibility. Let him take a punishment, maybe it can slow down, but it can't completely stop him from moving forward.

"That time, I thought about whether I could change the evidence..." Gu Sheng looked at the dark red cigarette butt, and said slowly, "He was really too radical, but at that time there was someone in the higher-ups who was in urgent need of political achievements, so he was willing to give His chance..."

Huang Yu and Ji Xiaojiu glanced at each other, neither of them dared to believe their ears - would a person like Gu Sheng want to fabricate evidence to frame He Feng?

He Feng must be so hateful!

"But it's not that easy to fake it." Gu Sheng continued, "He Feng is very shrewd, and I have worked hard to get this evidence alone. If I want to fake it, he may point out the flaws, and maybe in the end Even the evidence of this violation will be invalidated. So I was very worried... When I was worrying, he suddenly fell ill..."

Ji Xiaojiu groaned: "Well, Uncle Gu, you mean..." Because there was really nothing he could do about He Feng, so Qi Tongmin simply killed him?

Gu Sheng didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

"Uncle Gu, even you..." Gu Sheng is the person who has the closest relationship with Qi Tongmin and the one who knows him the most. If he thinks that Qi Tongmin would do this, then...

"We discussed in private at that time..." Gu Sheng said slowly, "The plan of the Gonggong faction sounds good, but the price to be paid may be very high. You also know that the big connection points of the world of mountains and seas are basically In our country..."

Ji Xiaojiu and Huang Yu nodded together.

The world of mountains and seas is called the world of mountains and seas in China, but it is not called so in foreign countries, mainly because there are few connection points in those places, and it is just the penetration of the power of mountains and seas.

Of course, it is not called the power of mountains and seas in foreign countries. It may be called magic power, divine power, or some other messy term. It mainly depends on the mutation of local creatures after being eroded by the power of mountains and seas.

"There are many variations in foreign countries, but when it comes to connecting points, there are only two big connecting points: ancient Greece and ancient Egypt. Even the solomon 72 demon gods and heaven and hell are mostly erroneous and artistically processed. As a result. And those two connection points were gradually closed later.”

Regarding these things, Ji Xiaojiu is pretty familiar: "Well. So the myths of ancient Greece and ancient Egypt are more reliable, but since the connection point was closed, their mutations have almost stopped, but the later vampires and werewolves Such mutations are more common. Then there is Fusang, there were several connections during the Heian period, and there was even a collective mutation of Hyakki Yaxing..."

Gu Sheng waved his hand, signaling that she doesn't need to make such a long speech: "The Gonggong faction believes that this is our advantage."
