Chapter 186 Tail
Many people rang the doorbell to look for Xueying, but few were classmates. Most were express delivery and takeout, and occasionally Yun's family would send her something. Cui Jian informed Xueying that she didn't need to order takeout for lunch today. Xueying seemed very reluctant to say "oh". Despite this attitude, she always came to the table to eat and was responsible for cleaning up after the meal.
Before lunch, Duanmu returned Cui Jian's cell phone. He leaned against the kitchen and watched Cui Jian busying around. He asked leisurely, "Why did your fishing boat end up in the open sea?"
Cui Jian sighed: "It will rain, my mother will marry, the ship will run, and people will eat. You can't stop it."
Duanmu: "Why don't you ask about the details?" Not even curious,
Cui Jian: “Not interested.”
Duanmu said: "Your fishing boat was intercepted by the police." What a pity, Yiyi stared in vain, thinking she could catch a big fish.
Cui Jian: “Oh.”
Duanmu: "But there was only one fisherman on the boat, and someone offered him a high price to drive the boat. It's particularly ironic. If the fishermen removed the positioning equipment of the Leisure, they might really drive it to Japan or the territory of polar bears. It's a pity that your good intentions were misinterpreted by them. You hired a fisherman to drive the boat, but the positioning equipment exposed your whereabouts and you were eventually intercepted."
Cui Jian: "It's just a thief who stole my boat. What good intentions can I have?"
Duanmu: "You are really smart sometimes, you can arrange a plan with just one sentence. After the incident, I finally understood why you told Shi Feng that you were going out to sea to fish. I really underestimated you."
Cui Jian was still confused: "What does this have to do with me?"
Duanmu: "I also hope it has nothing to do with you. But yesterday evening you and your boss went to the beach for a barbecue, and the Ye family bodyguard reminded you through your boss's phone call that there was a suspected vehicle following you. But your answer was: You know what's going on, don't pay attention to it."
Cui Jian: "If I'm not at work, of course I'll ignore it."
Duanmu laughed: "Don't play tricks on me. Do you know what Shi Feng knows?"
Cui Jian asked: "Do you know now?"
Duanmu: "That's not accurate. Shi Feng proposed negotiation conditions to me in the early morning and revealed a trump card, saying it was related to the Happy Club. If I can give him a new identity, help him escape, and give him a sum of money, he can tell me the specific information."
Happy Club? This place sounds familiar. I remember that the housekeeper said that Ye Rannuo and Xue Bing would have fun in the Happy Club every Saturday night. I remember that the housekeeper doubted Xue Bing's identity at that time. He thought that with Xue Bing's talent, it was unlikely that he could recruit professional top masters like Ye Rannuo and Bai Qi. It was speculated that there was a boss behind this team.
According to this reasoning, Chu He filmed the mysterious man who met Xue Bing. But how did Shi Feng know so much? Yes, he was on the run with Ai Li. Ai Li knew a lot.
Cui Jian was thinking in his mind, responding verbally, and continuing to flip the pan with his hands.
Duanmu observed the changes in Cui Jian's expression and basically confirmed that Cui Jian had nothing to do with this matter. After learning this information, Duanmu guessed that the person who met with Xue Bing might be President Nemo, and Ye Rannuo, Bai Qi and the dead Sasa were all people who worked for the president under Xue Bing's name.
This situation is not uncommon. For example, the public identity of Duanmu Special Forces Captain is a very ordinary Xiaobai, who can get a sum of money as an agent fee every month. Xiaobai and Xue Bing are both shell companies. Captain Duanmu only trusts his three deputy captains.
Of course, the above is Duanmu's guess. Duanmu has always wanted to know who has such great power to single-handedly establish the Nemo organization. Not to mention financial and human resources, the president at least has a very powerful intelligence system to successfully contact every target and the relatives of the dead targets.
The good news was provided by Shi Feng. The memory card that Yu Ming took away did not contain any information related to Happy Club. There was also bad news. Shi Feng deliberately deleted the information related to Happy Club from the memory card, which meant that Shi Feng already knew that the information of Happy Club was very important.
Cui Jian asked: "Where are Ai Li and Shi Feng now?"
Duanmu: "In the police station." Cui Jian didn't ask, and he didn't want to say. Last night, Ai Li and Shi Feng hired a fisherman to drive a boat to attract the pursuers. They secretly crossed Chencang and left from the air, but they never thought that the contact person would betray them. Since the other party wanted to keep Ai Li and Shi Feng alive, they gave the two a glimmer of hope and fled directly to the police station to seek asylum.
Seeking asylum from the police? It sounds irrational, after all, they are wanted by many bigwigs, but it is extremely reasonable when you think about it. The police station is a neutral unit, so just detain the two people there and then discuss how to deal with this matter.
Cui Jian was a little curious: "Isn't your boss Bai Qi's boss?"
Duanmu replied: "My direct superior is the captain of the special forces. He was recommended by a member of Nemo. In theory, the recommender is my superior's boss. But Sanghai Cangtian, with my boss's wisdom, may already have a new boss."
Cui Jian said disdainfully: "Isn't this Lu Bu? A slave of three surnames."
Duanmu was holding back his anger, and said calmly, "Can you help me convince Shi Feng?"
Cui Jian: "Aren't the conditions set?"
Duanmu said: "He asked for money and a new identity first. He lived with the new identity for two months, and only gave me what he had in mind when he was sure it was safe."
Cui Jian: "You hope to get the things first, and then give him money and identity."
Duanmu: “That’s right.”
Cui Jian shook his head: "No, I'm not sure if you will cheat Shi Feng. I'm also not sure if Shi Feng will cheat you. I won't be the middleman."
Duanmu tried to persuade him, but Cui Jian firmly disagreed. Although he had a better relationship with Duanmu, Duanmu's background was complicated and the matter was complicated. He didn't want to get involved and didn't want to be the guarantor. Duanmu had no choice but to leave after the meal, saying that he would find a way. Cui Jian looked at Duanmu's back and always felt that these two transactions were digging a hole for him.
After getting his phone back, Cui Jian called Yiyi: "Yiyi, help me check if Duanmu has tampered with my phone."
Yiyi replied: "Ask Duanmu yourself."
Cui Jian: "Please help me."
Yiyi: “No help.” She hung up. Subtext: Your cell phone communication is not safe.
Cui Jian hung up the phone, thought for a while, and drove to the company. When he arrived at the bodyguard department on the third floor, he saw Li Ran examining four standing bodyguards in the B department office. Cui Jian grabbed one of them and asked about the situation.
Two bodyguard teams worked together on a project, which was completed smoothly without any incidents. However, after the project was over, a fool revealed the employer's private life. The employer calculated that only four bodyguards knew about it, and in anger he sent a lawyer's letter, saying that if Dayin Security did not give him an explanation, he would sue Dayin Security in court.
Cui Jian pulled a chair and sat backwards on it, with his hands on the back of the chair and his chin hanging on it, looking like he was watching the fun. Others who watched the fun used the excuse of borrowing things or delivering documents, but Cui Jian was not as blatant as him.
Li Ran looked at Cui Jian and asked, "Are you free?"
Cui Jian: “Yeah.” Honesty is a virtue.
Li Ran looked at the four bodyguards and asked, "Cui Jian, what do you think of this matter?"
Cui Jian already knew the general situation and said, "What do I think? I think he either betrayed me on purpose or just bragging. But the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. He must have been drunk."
Li Ran: “They all deny it.”
Cui Jian: "All are open. It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. Besides, they were blind and chose the wrong partner. They should be held responsible for this."
Li Ran looked at Cui Jian for a while, his tone softened, and he said to the four bodyguards: "Okay, go back and rest first, and wait for notification from the Human Resources Department."
Bodyguard A: "Manager Li, you can't do this. I really haven't done anything. I have been working very hard these days and I dare not relax for a moment. You know this is my first project at Dayin Security. Manager Li, I really need this job." The continuous "I" shows that he is really anxious.
On the contrary, bodyguard B's expression and tone were carefree and casual: "Manager Li, you fired the four of us without any evidence. To put it mildly, it's lazy governance, and to put it seriously, it's dereliction of duty."
Bodyguard C agreed: "Yes, how can the company's management attitude be so perfunctory?"
Bodyguard D stood there silently without saying a word. Seeing Li Ran looking at him, Bodyguard D said, "It was too hasty to form a team. I admit it."
Li Ran took out his cell phone: "Talk."
Su Chen's voice came slowly: "It is most likely that C did it. It is better for A not to be the team leader. C was fired, B will be the team leader, and AD will be team members." Li Ran: "I asked you to catch the criminal, not to meddle in other people's business." He didn't ask why, he just needed an answer.
Su Chen: "Haha, if you need me, I'm Little Su Su, if you don't need me, I'm meddling in other people's business."
Li Ran directly cut off the call and looked at C and said, "If you admit it, you can resign. If you don't admit it, I will have someone investigate. After the investigation, I will fire you directly and put your name on the blacklist. You may not even be able to find a security job in the future."
C's face looked very ugly. He hesitated and was silent for a long time before he said, "I was drinking in the club last night. A friend of mine brought his friend to the party. Hearing that I had just finished my job as a bodyguard for my employer, he praised my employer. I retorted that he was actually very hypocritical, and I let the cat out of the bag during the argument."
After work, bodyguards would occasionally eat gossip about their employers. It was nothing, but a friend of a friend was an entertainment influencer who exposed the gossip overnight. What's more, only four bodyguards knew about the gossip.
Li Ran waved his hand and said, "Go and resign." He didn't want to waste time. C nodded, bowed to the other three bodyguards, and turned to leave.
Li Ran looked at the remaining three bodyguards, glanced around, and looked at D: "Appoint you as their internship team leader. I will keep an eye on your next project. Disband."
After that, Li Ran left first. Cui Jian followed Li Ran out of the Bodyguard B Office and asked, "Did you choose D as the team leader because you were angry with Instructor Su?"
Li Ran: "Of course not, I just know that I can't choose people according to Su Chen's ideas. I need responsible people who abide by the rules, not people with personality. Everyone has personality, and it is good to show personality, but the personality shown needs to match the ability. I don't see what B is naturally talented. If he obeys D, he can stay, but if he doesn't, he has to get out. Of the 20 bodyguards, in my opinion, only 8 will be left in the end."
Li Ran stopped and asked: "Why are you here?"
Cui Jian: "Find Yiyi and check her phone." Cui Jian told about Shi Feng's situation. Li Ran knew about Yu Ming's commission and that Cui Jian had killed someone because of it, but he didn't expect that Bai Qi and Duanmu were both deeply involved.
Li Ran didn't say anything. He sat back in his big chair, resting his hands on the table in front of him and thinking for a long time: "When encountering such a thing, you should refuse and cut off all ties. Even if you are a god, if you don't know the other party's strength and don't know the specific information, you should be a bystander first."
Li Ran: "In theory, the attack on you at the small airport shouldn't have happened. You're not that valuable. But in theory, this incident could have a huge impact, and they couldn't let go of any information. So when there were only two of them and you were on guard, they still attacked you."
Cui Jian: "It's okay. I'm not the one who died anyway. Besides, Ai Li and Shi Feng are already in the police station."
Li Ran nodded: "Okay, contact me if you need any help. I have to go to Pinggu to visit the set, please feel free to do as you please." Pinggu is a small town more than 30 kilometers away from Hancheng.
Cui Jian asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Ran said as he took something: "The Diudiu project has encountered two accidents. One was a falling object, and the other was a truck on the top of a slope that did not have the handbrake on."
Cui Jian asked casually, "Is this the project you have screened?"
Li Ran's face suddenly darkened. He glanced at Cui Jian, put on his suit and walked out of the office without saying a word, as if he was in a hurry. When he got to the first floor, Li Ran grabbed the logistics director and asked, "Last time you said there was a Taoist priest who knew Feng Shui?"
The logistics director was surprised: "Manager Li, didn't you say you didn't believe it?"
Li Ran: "But if the boss believes it, please help me contact him right away."
Cui Jian sat down next to Yiyi. Yiyi took the phone with an unhappy look on her face, connected it to the computer, checked it for a while and said, "Communication eavesdropping, screen monitoring. The calls you make will be monitored, and the other party can see your operations on the screen. The other party doesn't care much about you because it is safe for you to make video calls using social software. In other words, the other party is too lazy to download the social software APP."
Cui Jian asked: "Can we find out who the other party is?"
Yiyi: "Sure. What's wrong?"
Cui Jian: "They are watching me, but I am not allowed to fight back?"
Yiyi didn't answer, but kept typing away on the keyboard. The office surveillance of Bodyguard A Department appeared on the screen in front of her. No one was in the office. Yiyi got down to business and said, "Shifeng didn't get on the fishing boat last night, but the housekeeper paid attention to this matter. He wanted to get Shifeng and asked if we had any way."
Cui Jian: "Although I followed this matter, I knew very little information."
Yiyi said: "According to the information obtained by the housekeeper, Shi Feng has a photo of Xue Bing meeting a man."
Cui Jian: "I'm a little confused. Xue Bing is Nemo, but she's not a very famous person. She doesn't do anything in her daily life. Why would you pay attention to the people she meets?"
Yiyi: "You idiot, of course it's not because of Xue Bing, but because of the man. The housekeeper speculated that the man's identity was peculiar, otherwise Shi Feng would not have deleted the photos or videos of him and Xue Bing meeting alone. However, the housekeeper doesn't know whether Shi Feng knows this man or Ai Li knows this man."
Yiyi said: "Based on the intelligence we have so far, the housekeeper believes that only Ai Li and Shi Feng know the identity of this man, and there is a high probability that they do not have the photo on the memory card. Therefore, the housekeeper is more certain that as long as the identity of this man is revealed, the key problem can be solved. According to the actions of the Nemo Execution Team, even if this man is not President Nemo, he may be a close confidant of President Nemo. This is the first time in more than a decade that President Nemo has revealed his true colors."
Cui Jian: "Assuming that the man is President Nemo, how does he know that he has exposed his tail?"
Yiyi: "Good question. The butler speculates that it is related to Ellie. The butler found that there are gaps in Ellie's resume. However, given that Ellie is the head of the EU Witness Protection Team, he finds it difficult to make a decision."
Cui Jian: "Why look for Shi Feng instead of Ai Li?"
Yiyi said: "Aili is difficult to control. We don't know her, we don't know what her bottom line and purpose are, and we can't even be sure of her position. Shifeng is much simpler. As long as we control him, we may be able to reach an agreement. Once there is news here, Riyao and Huoyao will provide support with the help of the two-headed dog and take Shifeng away from Hancheng."
Cui Jian: "But Shi Feng wants money."
Yiyi: "Then give it to him."
Cui Jian: "But we haven't received salary for a long time."
Yiyi: "Are you reminding me to pay you back?"
Why are you so worried? But since you asked, I'll grant your wish.
Cui Jian waved his hand and said, "How can that be possible? Nowadays, if you want to collect a debt, you have to kowtow to the debtor. I can't afford to lose face like that."
Yiyi looked at Cui Jian, picked up her phone and operated it: "It's over."
Cui Jian smiled, glanced at Yiyi, and explained: "We are just borrowing money from each other. If anything happens to you in the future, I won't be involved."
Yiyi: "Why did it happen to me and not you?"
Cui Jian: "It's a man's intuition. I'm leaving now. I have to go to the police station to report the case."
"What case?"
Cui Jian replied: "The fishing boat was stolen." Shi Feng disappeared, his body was found in the rental house, and the police did not contact him as the emergency contact. The police intercepted the fishing boat, arrested Shi Feng and Ai Li, and did not contact him as the owner of the fishing boat.
Fortunately, at least the South Korean police force is a neutral unit.
My eldest daughter is going to high school and school has started. I get up at 6:00 a.m. every day to send her to school, send her again at noon, and pick her up at 9:30 p.m.
Due to the jet lag, my sleep is fragmented and my mental state is not good. I am currently trying to adjust my work and rest schedule to adapt to the new jet lag.
During this period, there will definitely be a significant increase in typos, so please forgive me, dear readers.
