At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Longcheng General Administration Bureau.
Gu Baishun sat in his office, drinking coffee and looking at documents. On his desk were several documents and some scattered photos.
When the Bureau of General Affairs worked overtime, Gu Baishun did not rest, but just waited for news. There were obvious dark circles under his eyes.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a sudden knock on the office door. Gu Baishun put down the document he was reading, turned around and shouted, "Come in!"
“Squeak!”
Guo Zhengdao pushed the door open and said solemnly, "Director Gu, I found something!"
Gu Baishun raised his head and asked, "What's going on?"
"This kid has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities and is good at hiding. But after a lot of investigation, we finally found clues about this person." Guo Zhengdao said, gently placing a file bag on the desk: "But... the information we found is a bit scary."
"Come, let me see how scary it is." Gu Baishun said, opening the file bag, taking out the information inside and starting to read it.
“Swish, swish, swish.”
The office was very quiet, with only the sound of him turning pages.
Guo Zhengdao stood by, saying nothing, just observing Gu Baishun's expression.
A few minutes later, Gu Baishun slowly raised his head with a smile on his face.
He sat there, leaning his head on his shoulder and thinking for a long time. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Guo Zhengdao and pointed at the file bag on the table: "Have the people in the An Department seen these things?"
Guo Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, then explained: "Not yet. They were the ones who handled the first half. They struggled for a long time but didn't find anything, so they went back to rest. We took over the second half and found this information. I hurried over to report to you, but I didn't have time to notify them."
"Yes." Gu Baishun stuffed the document back into the file bag, handed it to Guo Zhengdao, and instructed: "Well, call the people from the An Department back and share this information with them."
Guo Zhengdao took the file bag, a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Director Gu, is it necessary? Let's hide it for a while, after all, this person..."
"Of course it's necessary." Gu Baishun waved his hand and interrupted him: "Go and give them the information quickly, let them read it quickly, we will have a meeting later."
Guo Zhengdao nodded: "Okay, then I'll go inform them."
Having said that, he quickly left the office.
Gu Baishun sat there with his hands crossed, his eyes changing, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
…
About half an hour later, Liu Hongxu, Qiu Ge, and more than 20 investigators from the An system returned to the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
Everyone from the National Bureau of Statistics was also there. Guo Zhengdao arranged for everyone to go into the conference room together to prepare for the meeting.
Before the meeting, this top-secret file was quickly distributed to everyone.
The people from the An Department looked through the documents and their faces became very serious.
Liu Hongxu frowned, looking unhappy. Qiu Ge also put his hands in his pockets and said nothing.
“Squeak!”
After a while, the office door was gently pushed open and Gu Baishun walked in.
He turned his head to look at Liu Hongxu and the others, and greeted them politely: "Director Liu, Captain Ye, have you read all the information?"
Liu Hongxu nodded slowly: "I saw it."
Gu Baishun sat down, crossed his legs, and intervened, "If there are no problems, we will start to set up control here."
Brother Qiu nodded immediately: "No problem, we will fully cooperate."
Liu Hongxu thought for a moment and then added: "This matter involves the assassination of Foreign Minister Bai. All investigators must be rigorous, including us."
As he spoke, he looked at the people he brought with him to the conference room and took the initiative to say, "During this period, all the mobile phones and communication devices of everyone in the An Department, including me, will be handed over to the Quantong Bureau for safekeeping. At the same time, none of us will leave the Quantong Bureau, and Director Gu will arrange people to supervise us."
Hearing this, Gu Baishun was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Director Liu, we don't have to do this. Since Commander An allowed me to investigate this case, it is enough to show his trust in me. Similarly, I also believe..."
"Let's deal with this separately." Liu Hongxu interrupted him and said seriously, "Everyone should be more rigorous in this matter, so as to facilitate the subsequent work. Only when the case is resolved as soon as possible can we feel at ease and give an explanation to the higher-ups."
Seeing Liu Hongxu's firm attitude, Gu Baishun nodded: "Okay, since Director Liu has said so, I will do my best to find out the facts as soon as possible!"
As he said that, he turned his head to look at Guo Zhengdao and ordered: "Arrange a rest room for Director Liu and the others. The conditions should be better. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Guo Zhengdao immediately stood up to make arrangements.
Liu Hongxu also told the people around him: "Everyone, please hand over your cell phones. Be more conscious."
"yes."
Everyone took out their cell phones and handed them over to the people from the National Bureau of Statistics.
The two staff members sealed the mobile phones and put them away temporarily.
Liu Hongxu also personally checked everyone and confirmed that everyone had handed in their documents correctly, and then asked Brother Qiu to take them to the lounge.
…
Ten minutes later, everyone from the An Department was already in the lounge.
This lounge is very spacious and has sofas, a TV, a water bar and a bathroom. It is also a place for the staff in the bureau to rest and relax.
There were about twenty people from the An system, and it wasn't crowded sitting inside.
There was no one watching outside the lounge, but there were two cameras on the wall recording what was happening inside.
No one left, even if they needed to go to the toilet, they would do it in the bathroom here.
Everyone sat on the sofa or chairs, and there was some silence among them.
Brother Qiu sat on a chair by the door, smoking with a frown on his face, waiting for the progress of the work at the National Bureau of Statistics.
…
Four hours later, the moon slowly rose into the night sky, the lights in the entire Dragon City came on, and the streets were still bustling with traffic.
In the Bureau of General Affairs, Gu Baishun and Liu Hongxu sat in their offices, waiting for news.
The two of them didn't talk much. Gu Baishun just sat in his chair, flipping through the documents in his hand and handling the work of the Bureau of General Affairs.
Liu Hongxu sat on the sofa opposite, drinking tea and not saying a word.
His face never looked very good, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The atmosphere in the entire office was tense, and the two did not try to break the deadlock.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
Gu Baishun put down the documents in his hand and answered the phone: "Hello?"
In the microphone, Xiao Zhang, the head of the Intelligence Department, said hurriedly: "Director Gu, the target is moving!"
