Chapter 146 Danqing Barrier
Hearing this, the secretary looked back at Gu Qichuan, and then stopped typing on the keyboard.The car was going downhill through the tunnel, and the fluorescent strip on the railing was shone by the headlights, shook violently, and quickly disappeared.
"Sir, we are looking for information on the crew of the fishing boat. It is a Russian fishing boat from South Korea. It has been fishing in the Arctic Ocean all year round. It has connections with gangsters in South Korea and Japan. It is leading the Russian pirate organization to do evil."
"It sounds like the notorious 'Bald Eagle'." Gu Qichuan crossed his legs, pulled his coat tight, and dusted off his leather shoes, "If nothing else, its name has blackened the United States. After all, the bald eagle is the national bird of the United States."
The secretary smiled, shrugged, opened the tablet, checked it, and then pressed it off.Asked: "Sir, you said you guessed where they shipped the bullets, so where did they go?"
Gu Qichuan looked out the window at the disappearing rocks and trees, and the lights of the tall buildings made the city look like a layer of fog: "I guessed it, I'm not sure. Look at the video carefully, and pay attention to the way the person shook hands." Posture, maybe you know it."
The secretary looked it over, took a closer look, and replied after a while, "The posture of the right hand is weird, like a gunman. Holding a gun all year round causes the muscles to form a rigid memory, so it will become like this."
"And when he shook hands, once, then a second time. See? And his cuffs, folded in, metal decorations on the front of his shoes. Well, you might think it's just normal attire , won't care."
Gu Qichuan made a few gestures, turned his head to look at the red flowers on both sides of the highway, and stroked the neatly trimmed beard on his chin.The secretary was silent for a while, then turned around and said, "Is it a spy?"
"I have worked in the Ministry of State Security and the General Staff before, including my former secretary, who is your senior, and also a staff member of the Ministry of State Security." Gu Qichuan said, "I know where the agents will hide their weapons. So I'm particularly sensitive to these spies."
"A spy from a foreign country? Or from China?" The secretary turned the tablet to look, and adjusted the seat back.
Gu Qichuan reached out to remove the tablet stuck on the back seat and put it aside, but he didn't close it.The news was being broadcast, and Yan Luzhao was giving a speech, and there was continuous applause at the scene.Gu Qichuan glanced and saw the peace ambassador standing on the stage waving to the camera.
After a pause, Gu Qichuan turned around and spoke to the secretary when the news camera turned away, saying: "There is no reason for Chinese spies to go all the way to Chachatka to hand over the goods. After all, our company takes black and white, and they are still sober. .So it can only be foreigners."
The secretary thought for a while and raised his point: "The Russian Federal Security Service?"
Gu Qichuan raised his hand to stop him from speaking, signaling him not to say his name so directly.Looking at the mixed light and dark sky outside the window for a while, Gu Qichuan curled his lips and said, "Maybe he was from the era of the KGB. He is not young, and you can tell by his posture."
The two didn't talk anymore, Gu Qichuan focused on the outside of the car window, the highway was going downhill, and the sign showed that the exit was one kilometer ahead.The snow on the mountain is melting, the new grass is sprouting new shoots, and last year's leaves on the treetops have not yet fallen, hanging like paper.
"Why does the peace ambassador always give speeches on LGBT equality?" Gu Qichuan asked suddenly, and he put the tablet on his lap to read. "He has been to lecture tours, summit forums, and the United Nations. He has indeed covered a wide range."
"The ambassador is indeed very concerned about equal rights. It seems that in recent years, he has always been active on the front line and supported the passage of gay legal laws in many countries." The secretary said, "he is very influential internationally."
Gu Qichuan didn't continue talking. He silently supported his head to watch the live news. The car turned a corner and entered the deceleration lane, and then reached the high-speed exit. The red and green lights were on at the toll booth.
"Sir, the summit venue is here." The secretary got out of the car and helped Gu Qichuan open the car door, handing him a coat and a scarf.Gu Qichuan put on his coat and stood in front of the door, looked up at the blue glass building of the venue, and then walked into the front hall.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, are there any signs in Tibet? I remember that some bullets are still being shipped to Tibet."
"Tibet is remote and communication is inconvenient. It is a bit troublesome to track down, so the progress is slow. We have sent a commissioner to Tibet for investigation, and news should come soon."
Gu Qichuan nodded. The heater was turned on in the hall, and it was a little hot. He took off his coat and put it on his hands, and followed the secretary into the empty small meeting room.The conference room has red curtains and lights on the walls.
The secretary nodded towards the door, and turned back to tell Gu Qichuan: "Sir, wait a moment, the ambassador's speech will end soon."
Gu Qichuan opened half of the curtain, leaned against the corner of the table to look at the river view outside, and the bridge across it.Farther away, the smog caused by the lights became more and more blurred, and the brighter places became less clear.A transmission tower stands on top of a hill.
After taking a few sips of hot water, Gu Qichuan smoked in his mouth, squinted his eyes, took off his gloves, folded them neatly, and put them on the side of the plate.He was staring at his hands when the door of the meeting room opened suddenly, and a burst of noisy voices came in, like a large group of people discussing something intensely.
Three stacks came in from the door with a file bag, he turned his head and waved the assistant away, and put the bag and coat aside after entering the door alone.Sandie coughed a few times when he smelled the smoke, Gu Qichuan handed him hot tea, and opened a small window to breathe.
"What do Mr. Gu want from me?" Sandie asked, he wiped his hands with a clean handkerchief, took off his glasses and put them in his breast pocket.
The meeting room was quiet, and the calla lily placed by the window stretched its leaves, casting shadows on the ground.Gu Qichuan stood in front of the glass and watched the river for a while, and said, "There are new clues about Gu Zhou's death."
Sanji's hand holding the teacup trembled, and lowered his eyes to calm down.He walked to the pot of calla lilies, and saw the high-voltage electricity towers and signal transmission towers one by one on the distant mountain: "Well, what clues?"
Gu Qichuan glanced at him, probably feeling that his reaction was too calm.Sandie didn't speak, took a sip of water, saw that Gu Qichuan was silent, and asked again.
"The person who killed him was in Russia." Gu Qichuan said, the wrinkles on his face looked extremely deep under the light, as if he had aged ten years.
Sandie nodded and said, "Isn't it Tang Ji?"
"It's not him, Tang Ji is not in Russia." Gu Qichuan denied Sandie's words, and continued, "Tang Ji entered the light acceleration field in Chita, reorganized the passage, and now he is in another world."
"So who killed Guzhou?" Sandie was not interested in where Tang Ji went, he just wanted to know who killed Guzhou.
Gu Qichuan pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then looked into Sandie's eyes and said, "It's Tang Lin, Tang Ji's brother, the deputy director of the Time Bureau's Executive Department, and he's in Russia."
"Oh." Sandie raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and blew on the hot air of the tea, and the hot air hit the bridge of his nose, "It seems that we are going to fight against the time bureau, and it is indeed a bit difficult. Speaking of which, where did you get it?" The news here is that Tang Lin did something good?"
"Informant."
"What informant?" Sandie turned around and walked to the conference table, put down the teacup, took out his watch and checked the time.
Gu Qichuan waved the cup, expressionless, he kept looking at the distant scenery, tall buildings hidden among taller buildings: "Families are allied with each other, so they communicate with each other, which is normal, Mr. Ambassador."
Sandie nodded with a smile, but Gu Qichuan didn't see his smile.The door rang suddenly, Sandie said yes to the outside, the doorknob was unscrewed, and a gust of cold air from the end of winter to the beginning of spring came in. When Gu Qichuan turned around, he saw black clothes and a white woolen hat with a narrow brim.
"Mrs. Bai, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are very punctual." Sandie shook hands with Bai Zhu.
Bai Zhu nodded, she was wrapped in the cold air outside the house all winter: "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I said whoever got ahead of me, it turned out to be the third master." Bai Zhu unbuttoned his jacket collar and silver sable scarf, hung them on the back of the chair, then took off his gloves carelessly, and threw them on the table.
The door of the meeting room was closed again, the noise outside was completely blocked, and it was quiet for a while.Gu Qichuan was surprised when he saw Bai Zhu at first sight, but then he calmed down. He changed into a light expression, and shook hands with Bai Zhu with a warm smile: "Madam Bai, what a coincidence."
"What's the matter here, madam? Shouldn't you be in Daxinganling at this time?" Gu Qichuan pulled out his chair and sat down, pressing the metal button of his vest.
Bai Zhu poured himself a glass of boiled water, walked a few steps in the meeting room, made the sound of heels hitting the floor, glanced at Sandie, and said, "I heard that the peace ambassador participated in the summit and gave a speech, so I flew here from the northeast on purpose to meet the ambassador."
Gu Qichuan knocked on the table, looked at the decoration on the ceiling reflected on the table, and said with a smile: "It's just right, I also have an appointment with the ambassador, it seems that the two of us are going to battle?"
"There's no need for battle, even if you don't let me and I won't let you in such a small matter, it's an embarrassment to the door." Bai Zhu said, she was wearing lipstick, the color of which was like autumn maple leaves, "Open the skylight and speak honestly, What are you doing with the ambassador?"
"Some personal matters. We are now a cooperative relationship. What about you? What's the matter with you coming to the ambassador? When did you have a relationship?"
"I am responsible for protecting the personal safety of the ambassador. You must know that the Bai family never makes mistakes in security work." Bai Zhu sat down and straightened the wrinkles on his clothes. "Third Master, you should have received my letter, please? The ambassador sent it to you."
Gu Qichuan leaned forward, sat with fingers crossed, and said, "Of course. So madam, we are in the same boat now, because Guzhou is my son."
Bai Zhu's hands rested on the edge of the table, her nails were neatly trimmed, her fingers were long and thin, and this characteristic was also inherited from Ji Yao.Because of the cold, Bai Zhu slowly rubbed the back of his hands, and raised the corner of his lips: "There is an alliance between families."
Sanji sits at the end of the conference table and looks at his computer. He doesn't participate in the conversation between the two, he has more important things to do.Gu Qichuan propped his forehead, tapped his temples with his fingers, and caught a glimpse of the mist outside the window from the corner of his eye.
"Of course, there is an alliance between the families, but this has happened many years ago. Madam Bai, you said you have retired, why are you looking for me to form an alliance now?"
"The world is changing every year, so there is nothing that remains the same." Bai Zhu suddenly laughed, "One thing is another thing, I'm cooperating with you this time because of my son, and I want to get rid of Tang Ji. The time has come for revenge."
"Let him solve his affairs by himself, and we seniors should not interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. Madam Bai, don't you understand the truth?"
"Of course I understand the truth, but I'm not a person who likes to reason. Third master, think about yourself, Gu Zhou died, didn't you also carefully arrange revenge plans? How dare you say that you didn't meddle in the affairs of the younger generation? "
Sandie raised his eyelids to look at the two of them, they were both elderly, but their words were full of gunpowder, it was hard for them to put on a gentle look, it seemed that they were talking about today's lunch.
Gu Qichuan laughed, leaned back on the upholstered chair, and sat with his legs folded, his leather shoes shining under the lamp: "Bai Wu, what if I told you that it wasn't Tang Ji who killed Gu Zhou but Tang Lin? You What do you want to do? One thing is one thing?"
Bai Zhu's fingers trembled violently, and the lip line was tightened, so the color of her lips became fuller.Gu Qichuan saw Bai Zhu's emotions, spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect that? Tang Ji's elder brother is Tang Lin. Didn't Lin Liu tell you?"
"Lin Yifeng? You and him... Oh, I forgot, you have always been in a cooperative relationship." Bai Zhu moved his throat, "He never told me."
"Tang Lin is a member of the time bureau. What, Bai Wu, what are you going to do? You said back then that you would no longer interfere with the time bureau and sever ties with it. What about now?"
Bai Zhu sneered, pointed his finger at the table, and replied: "The person I want to get rid of now is Tang Ji, and it's a personal grievance. It has nothing to do with the time bureau. One thing is another thing, don't confuse concepts."
"Oh, ma'am, watch your words, don't swear, you're the fucking Marquis of Zanying now, please watch your words."
"Okay, Gu San, aren't you the new Prince of Zhenjiang? What nonsense are you talking about? Also, I'm not the Marquis of Zanying, not before, nor am I now. The Marquis likes foxes, but I don't. .”
Bai Zhu tapped on the table with his finger knuckles, Gu Qichuan stepped on his heels and stretched out his hand to argue with Bai Zhu, and they argued endlessly with gestures.Sandie tapped on the keyboard indifferently, he was writing a new speech, and occasionally looked up to see the two big figures each holding a word, making a mess of smoke.
"Bai Wu, so why are you looking for Mr. Ambassador today? Why are we arguing about other things? Didn't I just want to ask you why you came to see Mr. Yan?"
"I came to Mr. Ambassador because I wanted him to go to the Northeast with me. After all, it is very convenient to leave the country at any time. I have something for Mr. Ambassador to see."
Gu Qichuan raised his eyebrows sideways, lowered his legs and stood up, rubbing his knees. His knees hurt in winter: "That's your business, but Mr. Ambassador, we still need to keep in touch."
"Of course, Mr. Gu, we are a cooperative relationship."
At this time, someone knocked on the door in a hurry, and it sounded like they were looking for Mr. Gu Qichuan.Sandie raised his hand to signal Bai Zhu and Gu Qichuan to be calm, and got up to open the door.The secretary in a gray suit stood outside the door and nodded in gratitude, then walked in and whispered to Gu Qichuan.
The secretary put the file bag and computer in front of Gu Qichuan, with a worried look on his face.Gu Qichuan supported the table, frowned and waved the secretary away.Bai Zhu was sitting opposite, pinching his fingers without speaking, quietly waiting for Gu Qichuan to speak.
The meeting room fell into an uneasy calm. Gu Qichuan opened the file bag and took out the paper, looked back at it with a rattling sound, and then threw it on the table in front of him, and the paper slipped away.
Bai Zhu glanced down at the nearest piece of paper, on which was printed the structure diagram of a bullet.Gu Qichuan leaned back in his chair and wiped his meticulously styled hair. It could be seen that he was obviously irritable and annoyed.
"Fine." He gestured twice, opened his mouth and uttered a helpless syllable, "Fine. I've been found out. Does the time bureau have to force me to fight against him?"
"what's up?"
"Because of that bullet, Bai Wu, they said that your son killed his teammate with the bullet specially provided by our company." Gu Qichuan transferred the computer to Bai Zhu, "Now it's on my head, saying that I and Did he act in a cowardly manner?"
"Absurd! Nonsense! How could my son do such a thing." Bai Zhu retorted fiercely, and she stretched out a finger, "You must know that the time bureau will do anything to achieve its goal."
Gu Qichuan closed the computer with a bang, and said, "A man died from the bullets I specially provided for Ji Yao. He was the only one in the world who had the bullets I specially provided for Ji Yao. The manufacturing process of the fucking bullets was leaked out, and now There is circulation on the black market."
"So it's not just my son, right? It's also possible that other people did such a stinky thing and blamed it on my son, right? Which bastard, the Bai family will never let him go. "
"The Time Bureau is going to start investigating this matter. Your son is bound to have a lawsuit, isn't he wronged? He is wronged. How about it, Bai Wu, now that you have added a Time Bureau to your revenge plan, what do you do? It's the same thing Return to the same thing?"
"The time bureau insists on forcing me to fight against him, and I have no choice. I said it clearly back then, quit the melee of you guys. Now you want to create chaos, don't you? Well, stay with me at any time, and see who wins in the end. "
"The fight between the families has never been endless. To be honest, if it weren't for the 185 billion that Lord Zanying paid out without permission, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Bai Zhu smiled coldly: "So the cause of all tragedies is the secret bought for 185 billion? It's so pitiful, Gu San, we are all poor people."
Gu Qichuan looked at Bai Zhu again, and asked, "Cooperate? Bai Wu?"
"Don't call me Bai Wu, thank you, I'll take you as a curse." Bai Zhuhui got up and grabbed his silver mink scarf and coat, "Do you still need to ask this kind of question? Of course we cooperate, you are two hundred and five .”
While talking, Bai Yi wrapped the scarf around his neck, and then put the coat on, making a rattling sound.Bai Zhu walked out the door carrying his bag, Sandie was about to chase after seeing this, but stopped after thinking about it.
Gu Qichuan leaned on the table, bent down to massage his knee, it hurt like a needle prick, it was not heavy, but it was fine and dense, drilling into the bone.It's an old mistake again, Gu Qichuan thought.He called his secretary and asked him to pick him up in the meeting room.
"Mr. Gu, it's an honor to meet you." Sandie sent Gu Qichuan to the entrance of the front hall, there was no one there, the police tapes were pulled on both sides, and all the reporters were stopped outside, "But please take care of your knees. "
"Okay, you have a heart, Mr. Yan. I wish us a happy cooperation."
"Pleasant to work with."
Sandie sent Gu Qichuan into the car, and drove through the human wall surrounded by reporters to the road outside.The reporters swarmed forward with microphones and cameras, but Gu Qichuan kept the car window up, and he could only see his slightly indifferent blurred profile.
Bai Zhu didn't leave, she was standing under the white eaves with her pockets on, beside the Greek-style stone pillars.When Sandie found her, Bai Zhu was wrapping his scarf and letting out a breath, which turned into white smoke and dispersed.Her tan leather bag was slung over her hand, revealing a priceless logo.
"Madam, your gloves." Three folds of coats went up, holding a document bag in one hand, and handed the gloves to Bai Zhu with the other, "I forgot it on the conference table."
Bai Zhu looked at the three stacks, nodded and said, "Thank you."
She put on the gloves, somehow warmer, and gestured for Sandiao to go with her.Bai Zhu's heels stepped on the mirror-like marble, making a sound.After walking for a while, Bai Zhu saw the dead tree under the eaves and said, "Mr. Yan, your speech is very wonderful."
Sandie replied flatly: "It's just normal."
Bai Zhu smiled, and they walked through the flower corridor together. On the top was the blue glass exterior wall, reflecting the garden, and the small pale yellow flowers had already bloomed.Bai Zhu stood on the stone steps and waited for the car to arrive, then turned around and asked, "Why are you committed to the LGBT affirmative movement?"
"Because I am an LGBT member myself." Sandie replied, his tone was calm and stable, as if he was no different from others, "I have personally felt the unfairness of this world, so I decided to change it. That's it, ma'am , for a simple reason.”
"It's really simple. Mr. Yan, you are truly a remarkable person." Bai Zhu said, she looked into Sandie's eyes, which were firm and gentle.
Hearing the sound of the car engine, Sandie straightened his long hair at the sideburns and asked with lowered eyebrows, "Madam, what do you think about this? Or what is your attitude towards this group of people?"
Bai Zhu was silent, she clasped her hands, there was an air of dignity between her brows, her lips were like a red maple.Bai Zhu evaded this question a little, but she let out a breath, watched the car drive out from the depths of the garden, and said, "I don't know. But I experienced homosexuality once when I was young."
The car stopped in front of the steps, the assistant stepped forward to open the door, Bai Zhu stopped suddenly at the car door, turned back and said to Sandie, "I didn't experience it personally, but I witnessed the destruction of a relationship."
Sandie froze suddenly, but Bai Zhu had already got into the car and closed the door.The car window was lowered halfway, Bai Zhu leaned on the seat and waved to Santie as farewell.After the car left, the garden returned to silence. A bird came and stood on a dead tree branch, screaming with its red beak.
He didn't understand the meaning of Bai Zhu's last words. Before he could think about it, the assistant told him that the car was coming, and that "going to Daxing'an Mountains with Ms. Bai Zhu" was already on the agenda.
The bird with the red beak flew away with a whoosh, its wings ringed with white feathers.Sandie suddenly remembered the starling with a nice voice, and the goldfish wagging its tail slowly in the water.
Gu Zhou said that the fish and the birds were entrusted to him by a friend, but who was that friend?
Sandie couldn't figure it out.
Tibet, Pulan County, Ngari Prefecture, Mount Kailash.The sky is snowing, the long winter on the plateau has not yet passed, and spring will come here very late. After all, it is too remote and forgotten in the ice and snow.
"How is he?" He Luan came down the mountain road with a black Oxford bag half as tall as a person and exploration equipment on his back. His body was covered in heavy snow. "Is he getting better? Where is the doctor?"
"In the tent, the doctor just went for an examination, the right eye is blind, but the condition is fine."
The logistics soldier who picked them up at the foot of the mountain saluted, and then someone came to take away the heavy metal instrument on He Luan's back.Feeling more relaxed, He Luan put down his trekking sticks for exploring the road, and hurriedly followed the logistics soldiers into the tent.
