Fairy, Please Let Me Explain - #610 - Chapter 585 Di’an’s Movement
Di’an, the headquarters of the Secret Investigation Department and the Criminal Apprehension Department.
Even though it’s deep into the night, the lights are still bright here. The light of the inscription lamp disperses the darkness. The various files placed on more than a dozen slips of paper make the whole room look a bit messy. At this moment, three men and women wearing secret agent uniforms are standing. In front of a piece of paper in the deepest part of the office, the atmosphere was a little tense.
Sitting behind the document is a man with a square face, sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes. He looks upright and majestic at first glance.
Huang Shiwei’s voice was calm and calm:
“Before I called you here, you should have heard about what happened during the day, right? Qin Weishu, the second son of the Qin family in Jiangnan, escaped from the imperial prison by unknown means.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the several direct subordinates in front of him, and his tone gradually became more serious:
“Qin Weishu was personally supervised by Lieutenant Xu, but the manpower was temporarily drawn from our Criminal Division to assist in the investigation. I know that many of you don’t like Mengxi, but I have emphasized many times that you should not use your personal information to investigate.” Emotions are substituted for official duties, but how do you do it?”
“.”
After hearing this, the two men and one woman at the desk all looked away in unison.
Regarding the “Mengxi Princess” of their secret reconnaissance department, most of the middle and high-level captains originally held a neutral or even appreciative attitude.
Being in chaos does not prevent them from yearning for Qingzhuo.
But after being temporarily transferred to work under that woman, everything changed.
The premise of appreciation is that one’s own interests are not threatened.
They were at the same level as Xu Mengxi before, and even if the president was her master, she couldn’t control them. But this time it was different, they became the woman’s subordinates.
Is it too much to risk one’s life to arrest criminals for the court and at the same time extract a certain amount of extra remuneration to subsidize one’s cultivation?
The share they took was stolen money hidden by criminals and villains, not the proceeds of plundering good people!
But Xu Mengxi didn’t have so many, so he cut off all of them and only gave them rewards in accordance with the court regulations.
Only three or four out of ten of the original.
With this little money, it is difficult to be loyal to the dynasty.
The case was difficult to deal with, but the “Princess Mengxi” had no intention of compromising and still went her own way.
And now the final results are now out.
Due to disagreements between superiors and subordinates and mistakes in cooperation, Qin Weishu, a repeat offender, fled directly.
Huang Shiwei looked at the three silent people in front of him, and his voice gradually became filled with anger:
“It’s good. Chief Mi who was on duty during the day has been jailed, and his deputy Feng Kaisheng has also been dismissed from his post for investigation. If the chief really investigates, the three of you will probably be implicated too!”
The only woman among the three people who were involved in the case fell silent for a while, then tentatively asked:
“This matter shouldn’t affect you, boss, right?”
As soon as the words came out, the other two men also looked at him.
Although this matter is serious, as long as their boss survives, it is only a matter of time before several of their direct line officials are reinstated.
How could Huang Shiwei not know what these old guys were thinking? He leaned on the back of his chair and rubbed his eyebrows, with a touch of helplessness in his tone:
“No.”
As soon as the words came out, the three people in front of the case looked relieved, but Huang Shiwei’s next words made their hearts tighten:
“Go and get ready. We will leave Beijing at midnight tonight.”
“Leaving the capital?” One of the bearded men was a bit puzzled: “Why did you leave the capital?”
“Why did you say?!”
Huang Shiwei glared at the three of them and slapped the table in front of him:
“Of course I’m going out of the capital to chase Qin Weishu back to wipe the butt of you idiots! The commander-in-chief has given an order to leave this matter to me.
“I’d like to state in advance that if you guys dare to do anything to me in this matter, don’t blame me for not remembering our old relationship!”
“yes!”
The three people in front of the case immediately stood up straight and responded respectfully, then turned to go out.
They didn’t have the Sumeru Ring, so they had to go back to their homes and bring their soft-armored weapons and a series of equipment.
“etc.”
At this time, Huang Shiwei took a deep breath and stopped the three of them. In their puzzled eyes, he lifted a square iron box about one foot in length from under the desk:
“Here are some of the latest array-patterned crossbow concealed weapons produced by the Prime Minister’s Mansion. The three of you can take them and get familiar with them. They may be able to save your lives in a desperate situation.”
The three of them stared at the black box and hesitated for a moment. The only woman said tentatively:
“Boss, where did you get it?”
“If the Prime Minister’s Office didn’t give it to me, can I still snatch it away?”
“The boss has great tricks, hehe.”
The bearded man said with a smile, and while reaching out to pick up the iron box on the case, he and the other two people left.
As soon as the three of them opened the door, a pony-tailed woman wearing a secret agent purple official uniform outside the door caught their eyes.
Xu Mengxi’s face was expressionless, and her eyes were as frosty as she stared at the iron box produced in the prime minister’s palace in the hands of the bearded man. It seemed that it had been here for a while.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
This girl most likely heard the conversation between the few people in the room just now.
As the middle and senior management of the Secret Investigation Department, they all know the attitude of this “Mengxi Princess” towards the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
“You three go down, Mengxi, you come in first.”
A low and steady voice came from the depths of the company. The three people who had been ordered were immediately relieved. They nodded to Xu Mengxi and quickly left the place where things were wrong.
With the summer cicadas chirping outside, Xu Mengxi stepped indoors, pursed her thin lips and stared at the man behind the document.
She said nothing.
When Huang Shiwei saw the other party’s appearance, he said:
“If you have anything to ask, just ask directly.”
“.”
After a moment of silence, Xu Mengxi’s voice was cold:
“Why?”
“What do you mean? That box of secret weapons with array patterns?”
“if not?”
“Ah”
Looking at the woman’s familiar expression, Huang Shiwei shook his head gently, stood up on the chair, and walked slowly towards the woman:
“The Prime Minister’s Office wants to intervene in this matter, and Brother Wei agreed. That is the first batch of sincerity in cooperation, the latest formation pattern killing weapon developed by the Fourth Miss of the Prime Minister’s Office.”
Xu Mengxi looked at the man in front of him and clenched his fists slightly:
“Brother Huang, why do you want the Prime Minister’s Office to intervene? It’s not easy for me to extend my hand to the Prime Minister’s Office in this matter.”
“It’s precisely because you stopped their outstretched hands that Qin Weishu had a chance to escape, wasn’t it?”
“.” Xu Mengxi suddenly fell silent.
Huang Shiwei stared into her eyes with a serious tone:
“Xu Xiangguo may indeed have the intention of causing trouble, but you cannot deny that the Xiangguo Mansion is much better than our Secret Investigation Department, whether it is intelligence, personnel, or equipment.
“Objective reality will not change because of your ideals.
“You used the conflict between the Prime Minister’s Mansion and Xian Cheng Pavilion to keep Qin Weishu in the imperial prison. It doesn’t have anything to do with it, but the problem is that our Secret Investigation Department does not have so many resources to deal with the Qin family’s plan.
“Not to mention, Mengxi, you didn’t make the most of the resources assigned to you.”
“.”
When Xu Mengxi heard the last word, she looked away directly, biting the corners of her lips, lowering her eyes full of grievances.
She heard that Brother Huang was giving her a hint, but she didn’t feel that she had done anything wrong.
They always argue that it has always been like this, but does that mean it has always been like this?
But the reality was that there was indeed a problem with her subordinates’ methods, which led to the strong men who were transferred to work against her, making it easier for the Qin family to complete their plan.
Speaking of this, Huang Shiwei paused slightly and softened his tone slightly:
“Now the President has given Brother Wei the full responsibility for this matter. You have also seen Brother Wei’s men, Meng Xi.
“The three grand masters could have handled some shocking cases in normal times, but the Qin family was able to steal and change people under the eyes of the prison. Such methods are beyond their capabilities. As a brother, we must first ensure the safety of our own people.
“Now the only person in the entire Di’an City who is willing and able to participate in this matter is Xu Xiangguo. In addition to providing resources and intelligence, they will also send a powerful metamorphosis to accompany him.”
“So, Brother Wei has accepted the cooperation from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. If you feel that Brother Wei is wrong, Mengxi, then report it to the Chief Executive and see how he will handle the matter.”
Xu Mengxi raised her eyes to look at the strong man in front of her. Her beautiful eyes were a little confused, but then she was determined:
“Brother Huang, I’m going to do this too.”
“no.”
Huang Shiwei refused directly without thinking: “The future of this trip is uncertain and it is too dangerous.”
“The north is so dangerous for me.”
Xu Mengxi retorted, but Huang Shiwei blocked him as soon as he spoke: “No one in the north is targeting you. This trip is a long way, and if you get close, you will definitely be sniped by strong men from the Qin family.”
Xu Mengxi doesn’t have enough food and salt, and has a stick in her neck:
“Brother Huang, your three subordinates are not afraid of death, so why can’t I take risks, just because I am the master’s apprentice?”
“You damn girl”
Looking at the stubborn eyes of the girl in front of him, Huang Shiwei felt a little helpless. He was silent for a while and sighed:
“You can go if you want to. As long as the president agrees, then of course I have no objection.”
“It’s a deal, I’ll go find the master right now.”
After saying this, Xu Mengxi shook her ponytail and was about to go out. Huang Shiwei saw this and quickly stopped her:
“Wait a minute, I’m warning you, don’t pretend to be the master’s order for your brother. I will only take you with you after seeing the commander-in-chief’s order.”
“.”
Xu Mengxi’s dangling ponytail suddenly stiffened, as if a vital point had been stabbed.
Upon seeing this, Huang Shiwei snorted:
“Hurry up. I will wait for you outside Xinzi Gate at midnight tonight. If it is overtime, I will not wait for you.”
“I will definitely get it, don’t worry!”
“.”
Watching Xu Mengxi’s wilting ponytail leave, Huang Shiwei’s eyes unconsciously showed a hint of complexity.
Stepping into the atrium, looking up at the starry sky, he sighed softly, and then disappeared in an instant.
In Di’an, outside the gate of Xinzi City, an endless lush forest stretches along the mountains.
As a figure descended from the sky, a slightly feminine voice immediately sounded in the forest:
“Are you what Lord Lou Ji calls an insider?”
After passing through the layers of lush vegetation, as soon as Huang Shiwei stood firm, he found a tall and slender man in front of him. He did not respond immediately, but looked at him quietly.
The slender man smiled slightly when he saw this, took out a token from his arms and threw it to the other party, saying softly:
“In this business of yours, you should really be cautious. This is Lord Lou Ji’s token. Please check it.”
Huang Shiwei took it, inspected it carefully, threw it back, and said through a message:
“Huang Shiwei.”
“I know what your name is.”
The slender man talked nonsense at first, and then reported his name:
“Si Zijing, director of the Black Scale Guard’s capital city.”
After hearing this, Huang Shiwei nodded slightly and quickly said:
“Things may have changed. Although I designed to take Qin Weishu’s disposal power away from Xu Mengxi, that girl seems to be going with us.”
“oh?”
The slender man raised his eyebrows, looking slightly dissatisfied:
“It’s okay for your direct descendants to accompany you. I have heard a little bit about their loyalty to you, but with a woman like Xu Mengxi accompanying us, we have to restrain our hands.”
Huang Shiwei’s expression remained normal and he whispered:
“Her temperament is such that she just happened to catch me and I couldn’t refuse.”
Si Zijing pondered for a while and said casually:
“Then let’s deal with him on the road. We can just put the blame on the Qin family. With this hatred, the secret agent chief may be able to gravitate towards the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
“no.”
Huang Shiwei’s voice fell silent, and the sound of cicadas and birds in the lush forest fell silent for an instant.
Huang Shiwei stared at the feminine man in front of him and said word by word:
“She can’t die here.”
When Si Zijing saw this, his slender eyes narrowed into two slits, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his tone contained a hint of danger:
“In the past, Xu Mengxi was allowed to jump up and down, firstly because of the old guy Zhou Quanping, the chief of the Secret Investigation Department, and secondly because she posed no threat to the Prime Minister at all, and killing her would not do any good. But now there is such a great opportunity to frame the blame. Mr. Huang refused so firmly, can you tell Si the reason? “
Huang Shiwei was quiet for a moment, stared at the other person for a while, and whispered:
“This is what Third Young Master means.”
The corners of Si Zijing’s eyes twitched, and he laughed angrily:
“What do you mean?”
“The Third Young Master once told me that he likes her very much.”
“The third young master is dead.”
“You are responsible for everything in Gyeonggi, and you are a smart man.”
“But I remember that among the beauties of the Third Young Master, there is no one like her.”
“But it was indeed the Third Young Master who said it.”
“Huang Shiwei, you fucking dare to use the Third Young Master to suppress me?!”
Si Zijing cursed directly.
Huang Shiwei lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Si Zijing took a deep breath, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
As Lord Lou Ji’s absolute confidant, his butt naturally sits on the Third Young Master’s side.
Although I know that Huang Shiwei’s words are most likely to deceive him because of personal affairs, but what if?
If the future mistress is really killed, will Si Zijing and even the entire Si family still be able to hang out?
After a short silence, Si Zijing snorted coldly and said sternly:
“I hope what you said is true, but I also hope you can take good care of her on the way. The Prime Minister attaches great importance to this operation. The direction of the Qin family’s southward journey is to the Western Desert, and the third son happened to be returning from there. received some messages.
“I’m not the only one going to the Western Desert. If she messes up the plan, and that adult wants to kill her, you can’t stop her.”
