Chapter 279: Trapped in a Cocoon (Part )

Cui Jian and Duanmu's house were not far apart, but not close enough to walk. When driving over, 400 meters away from Duanmu's house, Cui Jian spotted suspicious people. Two well-dressed men were sitting on a bench on the street, looking at their phones, and their cars were parked on the side of the road.

The reason why it is suspicious is that it is 37 degrees outside and the car is running. Do you not like air conditioning? Or do you not like gasoline?
Cui Jian parked his car in front of the other car, holding his cell phone in his left hand and his gun in his right hand, walked to the driver's seat of the other car, and knocked on the window with his cell phone.

The car window was lowered, and the driver was a short-haired mixed-race female driver in her forties. Cui Jian took out his phone and took a photo. Then he walked towards the two men sitting on the bench. The two men immediately stood up, spread out to the left and right, avoiding Cui Jian's gaze, covered their faces with their hands, and quickly opened the car door and entered the car.

No one spoke during the whole process, just like performing a pantomime, watching the car leave. Cui Jian knew that someone was indeed targeting Duanmu, and that the other party might know him because of this. In other words, the other party was not a small team, but a large team that had stripped the underwear of everyone around Duanmu.

The only strange thing is that the other party has no intention of resisting, and even no verbal negotiation. From this point, it can be seen that the other party lacks the tendency to use violence against Duanmu.

When they arrived at Duanmu's house, Cui Jian handed the phone to Duanmu. Duanmu took the phone and looked at it for a while, then sent the photo to himself: "I don't know him, I'll ask someone to check it out."

Cui Jian asked: "What have you done recently? I think you have some ideas about why you are being followed."

Duanmu answered the question irrelevantly, and said: "Do you still remember the bet between Blue Fairy and the mysterious boss?"

Cui Jian was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Duanmu said: "Have you found a strange place?"

Cui Jian: "What's so strange about that?"

Duanmu said: "Blue Enchantress is from the local Bai Gang of Li Di. The mysterious boss represents the outside forces and hopes to defeat Blue Enchantress and control the Hancheng Bai Gang."

Cui Jian still didn't understand.

Duanmu said: "There is something irrational here. We know that the mysterious boss is Luke, right? All the purpose is for the Gemini Project. But why did he lose? He has a behind-the-scenes background, strong intelligence support, and all kinds of talented people. Most importantly, he took the initiative to attack. Would an outsider take the initiative to attack if he was not 70% sure? The irrationality is not the failure, but the silent defeat."

Cui Jian said: "Because we are assisting Blue Enchantress."

Duanmu: "There are three contents, and we have only completed one of them." Bet: If the butler dies before the court, Luke wins. If Guanzi is not dead or rescued before the butler goes to court, Yaoji wins. If Guanzi is rescued before the court, Luke wins.

Cui Jian and others protected the housekeeper's safety, but they were not the decisive force.

Duanmu further said: "In the end, Luke lost and built a cemetery for the boss according to the bet. No one asked: Why did the wily Luke fail? After all, there were no unexpected factors in the whole plan. The only possibility is that Blue Enchantress is much more powerful than Luke thought."

Duanmu: "The cemetery has existed for more than a year, but the police have not conducted any investigation into it. Everything shows that the person behind Li Di holds the power."

Cui Jian basically understood: "Kim Changqing, a nationalist, founder of the Korean Patriotic League, and a politician who has organized anti-Japanese walks many times." Kim Changqing has a large number of fans on the Internet, a large proportion of whom are students.

Cui Jian asked: "What does he need weapons for?"

Duanmu said: "I don't know, but I guess he has his own political demands. Maybe he fantasizes about having a Hancheng Spring? Maybe he also wants to integrate the white gangs in major cities in South Korea, add students, take up weapons, and take to the streets. Under the pretext of anti-Japanese, he does whatever he wants. Who knows."

"What does this have to do with you?" Cui Jian asked, and suddenly realized: "Are you using Lin Cai's matter to threaten Jin Changqing?"

Duanmu did not deny: "In a society ruled by law, one life is enough to ruin the reputation of the other party. And I am not the only one who thinks so. Don't you feel that there is someone behind Lin Cai? Someone wants to take this opportunity to destroy Jin Changqing. Jin Changqing is the next presidential candidate, and his poll rating is very high. If you don't vote for Jin Changqing, you are unpatriotic. Let me ask, who dares not to be patriotic?"

Cui Jian thought for a moment and said, "I don't think the suspicious person I saw was aggressive. Besides, does Jin Changqing know that you are Duanmu?"

Duanmu said, "He probably doesn't know. My captain had someone contact Jin Changqing in the name of the investigating organization and gave him a choice. One, agree to my captain's request and we'll solve this matter. Two, don't agree to my captain's request and we'll frame him. The online discussion lasted for ten days, and my captain spent a lot of money to force Jin Changqing into a desperate situation."

Cui Jian asked: "Did Jin Changqing really kill Lin Cai's father?"

Duanmu replied: "I don't know, it's none of our business. Are you sure someone is following me?"

Cui Jian nodded: "Your feeling is correct."

Duanmu asked: "Do you think they are not aggressive?"

Cui Jian nodded again: "Yes. Not only is it not aggressive, it seems to be very afraid of me."

Duanmu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Could it be Blackbird?" Blackbird's Black Widow fell into the hands of Cui Jian and Duanmu, and Blackbird's multiple kidnapping missions were prevented by Cui Jian and Duanmu.

Cui Jian said: "If the other party has no intention of attacking, I will not join in the fun."

The butler knocked on the study door. Duanmu pressed the button on the table and the door opened. The butler said, "A lady named Ai Li wants to see you, sir."

Cui Jian looked at Duanmu in confusion: "What's your relationship with Ai Li?" Why do you have so many troubles?
Duanmu looked innocent: "I don't know either. Please go to the living room to rest, Miss Ai Li, I will be down soon."

The butler said, "Yes, sir." Then he closed the door and left.

Cui Jian said: "Your captain is always messing around here and there, and will rush forward whenever there is excitement. Sooner or later, you will get yourself killed."

Duanmu replied: "My captain likes this."

Cui Jian said: "Then I won't go down with you."

Duanmu said: "I am even more worried about leaving you in the study."

……

Ellie is still the same little wild cat, but her face is a little haggard and her clothes are more conservative.
Ai Li and Duan Mu were not familiar with each other. They just met by chance during vacation and used pseudonyms. However, they were very compatible in those aspects and had a deep impression of each other. When they met again in Hancheng, apart from business matters, both sides treated each other as strangers.

The three of them sat down, but no one spoke first, which made things awkward for a while. Cui Jian didn't know that they were just having a casual relationship, otherwise he would have run far away and opened a bag of snacks to eavesdrop.

Snow cherry contagion? Maybe.

Ai Li put her phone on the table, stood up and untied her clothes. Cui Jianli closed his eyes and said to himself: There is no free lunch in the world. More importantly, I think it is worth one dollar when I take a look at it, but she thinks it is worth ten dollars when she takes it off. If the price can be negotiated in advance, it is not impossible. People like to have clear prices.

Duanmu was also a little confused for a moment. Although he was very good, and although he knew that you couldn't help but still miss him, there were outsiders here.

Ai Li sat down: "I don't have any audio or video monitoring equipment." Duanmu thought for a while, but couldn't guess, absolutely couldn't guess, so he asked: "What do you want to say?"

Ai Li asked: "You are Shui Yao, right?"

Duanmu: “Hmm?” I am Shui Yao?
Ellie said: "Let me be frank. I don't care if you are Mercury or Moon. My target is the Guards."

Duanmu didn't say it out loud, and asked, "Are you talking about the Korean civilian organization Guards?"

Cui Jian looked at Duanmu for advice, and Duanmu tilted his head to explain: "It is an organization similar to the Boy Scouts that has developed from the Internet to the offline. It organizes a three to seven-day camp every quarter, during which they train in wilderness survival and military training. It is said that there are more than 3,000 members. They call themselves nationalists and advocate making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones. They advocate making friends with allies such as the United States and are anti-Japanese and anti-X. They believe that these are the two countries that have hurt their Korean nation the most in the past hundred years."

Ellie said: "I believe you should know that the cemetery, Li Di, the Royal Guards, and the Bai Gang are inextricably linked. Their ultimate goal is to form a political force and seize power in South Korea."

Cui Jian wondered: "Is it that simple?" After all, South Korea is not a small country with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

Ellie glanced at Choi Gun and said, "Leaving aside the current president, of the 13 presidents of South Korea, only one has made it to shore safely. What do you think?"

Duanmu knew that Cui Jian's brain capacity was not enough to support his jumping exercise, so he explained: "It's not about letting the Royal Guards and the White Gang attack the Blue House, but forming a sect. They expand their influence in the name of patriotism, and then affect the emotions of voters, and finally seize the presidency for their leader. For example, a family of four, the college student son is a member of the sect, and every day when he eats, he will interpret the news with his own values. In the long run, the family will be affected to some extent."

Duanmu said: "Do you know that Korean women's boxing is ranked first in the world? But you probably don't know that it once changed the results of the presidential election. Civilian groups like the Guards are more tightly organized, and with the support of the chaebols behind the scenes, it is not difficult for the leader to take the presidency."

Duanmu said: "Even without the Royal Guards, there are all kinds of complicated relationships between the top chaebols and the Blue House. The methods they use are more vicious and insidious than the Royal Guards. Some directly assassinate the president, some launch political changes, and some instigate revolution. Relatively speaking, the Royal Guards are strict in discipline, so this method of ascending to power is relatively gentle."

Duanmu said: "We also need to consider the support of overseas countries for factions. For example, Miss Ellie should be the enemy of the patriotic faction. The country she belongs to does not want to see patriots come to power."

Ellie did not deny it: "Yes. Once Jin Changqing comes to power, our country will lose a lot of business orders, and it is very likely that a technological blockade will be imposed on our country."

Cui Jian was somewhat curious about these topics, but not very interested, as he believed all politicians were liars.

Cui Jian asked himself a more interesting question: "Duanmu, are you Shui Yao?"

Duanmu still didn't deny it and looked at Ai Li: "What do you need me to do?"

Ellie said: "Jin Changqing is one of my targets. I hope you can give me all the information related to him."

Duanmu frowned: "I don't know Jin Changqing."

Ellie took out her phone and pulled out a photo. In the photo, a white woman in her forties got into a car. Ellie said, "Her name is Lesha. She was injured while performing a special mission and was abandoned. She was trapped in a war-torn city. Many people thought she was dead."

Duanmu's eyelids jumped, and he cursed in his heart: Damn it. That's right, Lesha is his person, or to be more precise, the old butler's person. The old butler hired a team of mercenaries to rescue Lesha, and then Lesha worked for the old butler. The person in charge of Jin Changqing's affairs is Lesha. Duanmu thought he was very careful, but he was still caught.

These are a bit troublesome.

Duanmu asked: "Are you following me?"

Ellie said, "I just wanted to find out who Shui Yao was who slept with me, but I didn't expect to take this photo by accident. I tracked down Lesha and found that she had been in contact with Jin Changqing's personal assistant recently. Let me ask a question first, why did Qi Sha contact Jin Changqing?"

Cui Jian stood up and said, "I'm going to go for a walk." All he was talking about were brain-burning and head-breaking things, so he decided to just get away from him.

Duanmu felt that this was the problem. If he was not Qi Sha Shui Yao, then what was his identity and purpose in contacting Jin Changqing? Maybe his identity as the captain of the special forces would be exposed.

Duanmu asked: "Did you arrange for the people who followed me recently?"

Ellie shook her head: "No, I have been suspended and I don't have the power to transfer personnel. Can you answer my question?"

Duanmu thought for a while and said, "We know that the owner of the cemetery is Jin Changqing, and we need a batch of arms."

As a key member of the Ice Spikes, Ellie knew that over the past year, weapons had been leaving the Qi Sha safe house but not entering, so she believed Duanmu's explanation.

Ai Li said: "I will keep it a secret for you, on the condition that you give me all the information you have on Jin Changqing."

Duanmu said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Besides, I don't think the butler will compromise with you for my sake." This butler was referring to the Qi Sha butler.

Ai Li felt something was wrong. Duanmu's answer didn't have the flavor of Qi Sha. If it was Qi Sha, he would have rejected it directly and would have fought tooth and nail. As Shui Yao, she was not important to Qi Sha as a whole. Ai Li just raised the price and waited for Duanmu to return the money.

Thinking in her heart, Ellie said, "I can make a copy of all the information that Bingci has about you, the Seven Killers, and give it to you. It contains a lot of information such as the dozen financial accounts we have monitored in the past two years, the hundreds of suspects we have investigated, and the identities of two undercover agents in the Oath Orphanage."

I'm going to die, I'm going to die. As Shui Yao, it's impossible for me to refuse such an offer. Duanmu was a little confused for a while. He had too many identities and was entangled. He didn't know how to make a choice.

The information provided by Ellie is valuable, but only to the straw raincoat guest Duanmu, and it is not very valuable. After all, the straw raincoat guest Duanmu does not care how many people Qi Sha kills. However, if you use the information to negotiate with Qi Sha, you may be able to get an exemption or semi-exemption. The so-called semi-exemption is like the No. 50 sub-target of the No. 5 target. As long as he does not show up in public, he will not be hunted down.

From this perspective, it will be of great help to Duanmu in the dome project.

The price is to become Shui Yao, one of the Seven Killers, at least that's what Ellie thinks. Duanmu doesn't think Ellie has a sense of contract, after all, Jiandie does things without a bottom line. If necessary in the future, Ellie may use this to threaten him.

Judging from Ellie's calm attitude, she has made a backup plan and is likely to get support from the Sword Butterfly team. It makes sense. She was suspended by Ice Thorn, and her value has been greatly reduced. The Sword Butterfly team took a risk by taking her out, and everyone was happy if it worked. If it didn't work, at most they would lose Ellie.

There is only one way to solve all the troubles: tell Ellie that she is not Shui Yao and not Qi Sha.

But what follows is that Ellie's team may conduct an in-depth investigation into Lesha, which may implicate the old housekeeper. And Duanmu will not kill his own people just to silence them.

After a long time, Duanmu said, "Aili, I am not Shuiyao, and I don't know Lesha."

Ellie asked, "So there's nothing to talk about?"

Duanmu nodded and stood up: "No need to see you off."

Ellie also nodded: "Good luck to you." and turned and left.
