"Zuo Qinghong didn't die for nothing. His death allowed the security department to track down all the enemy agents who had been hiding in the hospital for many years. " Huo Shaoheng picked up a military magazine and flipped through it calmly in the back seat. He cocked his head calmly and said in a bureaucratic tone, "He still made some contributions to the country and its people."
Yin Shixiong was speechless and gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up. "Huo Shao, if you can say that to the Senate later, I'll respect you as a man!"
Zhao Liangze rolled his eyes at Yin Shixiong. "What do you mean, Big Xiong? What does Zuo Qinghong's death have to do with us? Besides, he forced the Madam to show herself. What value does he have? "
If Huo Shao hadn't completely let go of the security there, the Madam wouldn't have taken the bait so easily.
The only way to catch a big fish was to be willing to use the bait.
Yin Shixiong stretched lazily and leaned against the window to think for a while. He seemed to realize something. "… That makes sense. That Madam was too cautious. When we had people hanging around, she was really calm and didn't show herself at all. "
"She only brought people in to see Zuo Qinghong when she was sure that all of us had left."
Zhao Liangze had a small laptop on his knees and was typing away. He didn't look up as he said, "Do you know how hard she worked? In order to make sure that all of us had left, she didn't hesitate to use all the spies in the 3X1 hospital. Some people, tsk tsk, I never would have guessed that they were spies. "
Yin Shixiong laughed and shook his head. "But I think that if this hadn't happened in the country but overseas, we would have had a better way to deal with her."
The Special Operations Forces' authority in the country was greatly restricted, so they often had their hands tied.
Fortunately, Huo Shaoheng had always avoided domestic matters and rarely interfered with them unless it had something to do with Gu Nianzhi.
This time, it was because Kevin, an American, was involved and it had something to do with Song Jinning, so they had a legitimate reason to intervene.
"Don't be too optimistic. We still don't know who that Madam is. We only know that she's Kevin's backer. "
"Why is Kevin her heir? Why does that Zuo Qinghong also want to be the Madam's successor? "Yin Shixiong asked doubtfully.
"This is something we need to continue investigating." Huo Shaoheng closed the magazine and put it back. He asked Zhao Liangze, "Have you informed the American field agents? This time, we need to reinvestigate who Kevin is close to. "
Previously, when they investigated Kevin's parents and relatives, they never knew that there was such a "madam" who was close to Kevin.
"It's already a successor relationship. Why didn't we find out anything last time?" Yin Shixiong was also very puzzled. "How tightly are you hiding it?"
"It doesn't have to be a secret." Huo Shaoheng thought about it further. He sat in the back seat and said thoughtfully, "It's probably because we're investigating in the wrong place."
"What do you mean?"
"We're investigating Kevin's situation in New York. What if his acquaintance with this lady was not in New York? " Huo Shaoheng looked up at Zhao Liangze. "Let the field personnel be more open-minded and not limited to one place."
"Roger, Chief." Zhao Liangze recorded Huo Shaoheng's order and sent it out encrypted.
Yin Shixiong saw that they were almost at the Senate. He took out his phone and sent a text to Gu Nianzhi: [We're here.]
Gu Nianzhi was the chief legal advisor of the Senate and reported directly to Speaker Long.
Of course, she knew that today was the day Huo Shaoheng and the others came to the Senate to be questioned.
She came to the office early in the morning to look up the background information of the media personnel who came to the Senate today.
She knew herself, knew the enemy, and also understood their interview style.
Huo Shaoheng's private car arrived at the underground parking lot of the Senate. He looked around and saw that the cars of the heads of the security and police departments had already arrived.
They were here to be questioned, just like him.
He looked at the densely packed cars in the underground parking lot. It was more than double the usual number.
Huo Shaoheng opened the door and got out. He wondered how many people had come this time.
He took the elevator to the 12th floor of the Senate building, which was also the floor where the Senate's main conference hall was located.
Several Senate staff waiting at the elevator door saw Huo Shaoheng and the others arrive and immediately led them to the lounge on the side. They served him coffee and tea, as well as a few plates of snacks. They whispered, "Major General Huo, don't worry. Chief Gu has already arranged everything for you. We won't let you lose out!"
The Senate staff member who spoke was a young, strong-looking boy. His dark eyes lit up when he spoke of "Chief Gu." He was truly in awe.
Huo Shaoheng looked at him with a smile and nodded. His deep, magnetic voice was full of masculinity. "Thank you."
"Huo Shaoheng is going to see Chief Gu? I'll go tell her on your behalf. "Another quick-witted fat staff member rubbed his hands together. He didn't feel like an outsider at all.
Huo Shaoheng could actually call Gu Nianzhi directly, but he accepted the staff member's kindness and asked them to go tell her on his behalf.
After they left, Zhao Liangze said with a smile, "Huo Shaoheng, I never knew you were so popular. These people don't treat you like an outsider at all … "
"What outsider or insider?" Yin Shixiong took a sip of coffee and ate a few biscuits. He said with a strange smile, "Huo Shaoheng is the son-in-law of the Senate. He's one of us … Nianzhi is Chief Gu of the Senate. It's because Nianzhi is popular … They love me and my dog …"
Zhao Liangze looked at Huo Shaoheng. He didn't know what scene he was imagining, but he suppressed his laughter and looked away to look at the large LCD TV on the wall of the lounge.
The person being questioned was the head of the security department, Minister Nie.
The seats in the large conference hall were arranged from low to high, just like the seats in a movie theater. However, they were arranged in a circle with an empty space in the center of the circle with several sets of tables and chairs.
Minister Nie sat in the seat in the center of the circle and was questioned by the senators and qualified media reporters.
The person speaking now was a skinny female reporter. She wore a Hermès scarf around her neck, making her neck look especially long and her head look especially big.
She said with a serious expression, "Minister Nie, I want to ask you, what is the work process of the security department? Why did you let two people under your protection die? One of them was even an American citizen! "
Minister Nie was in his fifties and didn't have much hair on his head. When he was nervous, his scalp was shiny.
He held the microphone in front of him and stammered, "We provide the best protection, but comrade reporter, no matter how good the protection is, it is not foolproof …"
As he spoke, Minister Nie explained the details of the protection they provided. It was very detailed, and many senators nodded repeatedly. They were already very satisfied.
"I can't accept what you said." However, the female reporter aggressively interrupted the head of the security department's answer. "It's not up to you to say whether you provided the best protection or not. Your work process must be correct in order to reflect procedural justice. Tell us the details of your workflow so that we can judge it together. "
Minister Nie shook his head in surprise and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to provide the details of the work process. This is a violation of discipline. "
"What violation of discipline? Department Head Nie, you're here to be questioned, so how can you not say anything? Then what are you doing here? Are you refusing to accept the supervision of the Senate and the media? "
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were both stunned when they saw this scene.
So this was what the questioning was like?
They were so ignorant!
The two of them looked at each other and were about to say something when Huo Shaoheng suddenly sat up straight.
Zhao Liangze glanced at the TV screen and saw that Gu Nianzhi was actually on it!
So she was already in the interrogation room.
"Nianzhi is here too!" Zhao Liangze's eyes lit up. He discovered that Gu Nianzhi seemed to have become prettier after not seeing her for a few days.
She wasn't sitting like the others, but was standing behind a podium.
She was tall and slender, and the simple and low-key custom-made ash-gray professional attire didn't diminish her beauty. Instead, it made her skin whiter than snow and her eyes shine like stars.
In the room, Minister Nie was very uncomfortable. He looked like he had done something wrong to everyone, but he actually just didn't know how to respond to the female reporter's question.
The female reporter was even more pleased with herself. She thought she had something on Minister Nie and planned to make a name for herself.
She was about to continue asking when Gu Nianzhi spoke, "Comrade Reporter, your question is already bordering on the illegal. Please do not continue with your illegal questions, otherwise we can call the police to arrest you on the spot."
The female reporter froze and looked over. She was instantly furious. "I'm interrogating the head of the security department. What right do you have to interrupt? This is the Senate! I have the freedom to speak! Are you going to seal my mouth?! "
"You do have the freedom to speak, but you don't have unlimited freedom to not be controlled by the law." Gu Nianzhi replied calmly. She raised her right arm and elegantly looked at Minister Nie, who was visibly relieved. She continued, "Minister Nie has already answered your question within the bounds of the law. Please do not delay everyone's time."
"He didn't answer my question!" The female reporter waved her fists angrily in the air. "He refused to reveal the details of the workflow. This is a violation of the principles of procedural justice!"
Gu Nianzhi lowered her hand in the air and gestured for her to be quiet. She said, "Comrade Reporter, the workflow of the security department has confidentiality rules. You repeatedly asked him to reveal the details on a live broadcast like this. This is a violation of confidentiality laws. If he really did reveal it, we can report you and each person can get a reward of 500,000 yuan. "
The female reporter's face turned red from Gu Nianzhi's words. Her usual sharp tongue in front of the camera disappeared. She stammered, "You, you, you … You're lying! I only hope that procedural justice can be protected! You have to know that if something happens to Kevin and Zuo Qinghong today, it could be you and me tomorrow! "
Gu Nianzhi sighed visibly. Her voice was transmitted to the entire venue through the high-definition microphone in front of her. Of course, it was also transmitted to the ears of the hundreds of millions of TV viewers during the live broadcast.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's lips curled into a smile that he didn't even realize he was smiling. His usually stern and resolute expression seemed to crack open, revealing the gentleness and contentment wrapped inside.
He stared fixedly at the TV screen and heard Gu Nianzhi's soft and gentle voice coming from the TV. "Comrade Reporter, why can't you compare yourself to a criminal and a criminal suspect?"
"I won't illegally hold a gun, kidnap people by force, or endanger public safety."
"I also won't pretend to be a doctor to illegally enter a hospital and bribe the hospital staff to take away the felons inside."
She was referring to what Kevin and Zuo Qinghong had done.
The female reporter was rendered speechless by Gu Nianzhi's seemingly casual but insistent words. She was completely speechless.
She smiled and said, "Of course, Director Nie didn't leak any secrets, so your investigation was unsuccessful. Therefore, we won't be reporting it for now. We'll see what happens in the future."
She looked at the host of the parliamentary inquiry behind the female reporter. "May I ask if the next person can be questioned?"
The host quickly nodded. "Yes, the next person is Senator Wang from the North."
This senator's questions were more normal. He wasn't as aggressive as the female reporter just now, who insisted on asking about the details of the work process.
In reality, the work process of the security department was classified as confidential. Knowing their work process, one could often deduce what they were doing.
Because of this, the work process of the security department wasn't fixed and was changed from time to time.
Just like your computer password, you could be forced to change it regularly to achieve better security.
Because Gu Nianzhi was present at the meeting, she guaranteed that neither the questioning nor the answering party would break the law. Therefore, the rest of the questioning went smoothly.
The head of the Imperial City's police department was only asked a few superficial questions before he retreated.
Yin Shixiong crossed his legs and looked at the TV. He sighed. "… These people are more interested in the people in the security department … I don't know if it's innate curiosity or acquired curiosity …"
The work process and various laws and regulations of the police department were open to the public. The key was the issue of law enforcement. Therefore, the angle of the questions wasn't tricky.
Only the questioning of Director Nie was like a feast for bloodthirsty vultures facing an injured antelope.
After the questioning of the head of the police department was over, it was Huo Shaoheng's turn.
Calmly, he stood up and strode towards the hall.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze followed behind him and walked into the venue together.
They came to the center of the circular venue and sat down. Huo Shaoheng looked up at the venue.
It was as if he had a powerful aura that suddenly stunned the people in the room.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a smile, and his handsome face returned the same smile.
The people in the venue, in front of the TV, and watching the live broadcast on the Internet suddenly exploded.
[F * ck! Caught off guard, I can't breathe because of the public display of affection!]
[What sin did I commit! Wasn't it supposed to be a serious interrogation?! The sour smell of love is almost drifting out of my TV!]
[I sincerely reject this kind of behavior of showering public affection regardless of the occasion! If you want to do it again, I hope it'll be more!]
