Xu Le was shocked, but his expression didn't change. He didn't expect that this person's eyes would be so sharp that he could see through his strange sitting posture.
He wasn't a professional spy, and he wasn't even a professional fugitive. He was just an ordinary young man with some talent in some areas. For some reason, he was forced to go into exile and hiding. After leaving Donglin, he kept reminding himself that he should keep a low profile and be inconspicuous. But after all, he hadn't received professional training, so there were always some problems in inappropriate places. Fortunately, with the help of the disguise chip, he didn't need to worry too much about his safety in the Federation society. After passing the airport scan, he was full of confidence. He knew that as long as no one found out about his relationship with the boss, no one would suspect him.
But today was only the first day of university, and a passerby had found out about his strange behavior. Xu Le was so ashamed that he had the urge to face the wall.
In fact, Xu Le still underestimated himself and overestimated all the passers-by in the Federation. In the Federation society, there weren't many people like Shi Qinghai. He had studied observation in the First Military Academy and received three years of espionage training. Naturally, he had developed a completely different vision.
"Don't throw the cigarette butts," Xu Le was a little flustered, but his voice didn't tremble at all as he said seriously to Shi Qinghai.
Shi Qinghai smiled and picked up the cigarette butt. He had a strong interest in this little doorman. He felt that the doorman had a very wonderful feeling and was very similar to himself. It seemed that they were both keeping a big secret in their hearts. Shi Qinghai didn't want his secret to be known by others, so he didn't want to explore other people's secrets. After all, this person had nothing to do with him.
Shi Qinghai looked at Xu Le, yawned, leaned against the iron gate, and asked lazily, "There aren't many people in the training center now. You're still young, so I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing."
Xu Le could have chosen not to answer any of his questions, but first of all, that would be too strange. He did not know what this man in the suit did, and second of all, his small eyes had always been very good at judging people. In his opinion, this man in the suit was full of boredom and tiredness, and he did not have any malicious intentions.
"I've never been to a body cultivation hall." Xu Le shook his head and said, "What's the Horse Stance?"
"Oh, the Horse Stance is the posture where your butt doesn't touch the ground. But that posture of yours is much more difficult than a normal Horse Stance. Don't be surprised that I know all this. You should know that I spent some time in a body cultivation hall." Shi Qinghai smiled, then extended his hand and nodded. "Shi Qinghai, government worker."
Then he said in a more serious tone, "Does guarding the door for the government count as a staff member?"
Xu Le was stunned for a moment, then he smiled as well. He extended his hand to shake the other party's hand and introduced himself. "Xu Le, school worker … if guarding the door really counts as a proper job."
The two people's hands passed through the bars of the metal gate and shook each other. A moment later, they let go. Shi Qinghai raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a bit like visiting a friend in prison."
"Looks like I'm the one locked up in prison."
"Why not me? I'm leaving first. I'll come and chat with you when I have the chance. " Shi Qinghai looked at the figure of a woman walking over from not far away. He nodded slightly at Xu Le, then left the school gate with an extinguished cigarette in his left hand.
After closing the heavy car door, Shi Qinghai sat on the camp bed and stared at the female student passing through the school gate on the holographic screen. He used his index finger to point at her face, which was a bit blurry due to the pixels, and said, "Keep an eye on her. I don't care why this woman called Zhang Xiaomeng came back, and I don't care what she wants from Ewha University. All you need to do is surround her and cut off all connections between her and any suspicious points."
"Not fishing?" One of the team members asked curiously, "If there's really something wrong with this female student, this is a good opportunity."
"I'm not interested in that." Shi Qinghai tidied up his wrinkled suit, lowered his head and said, "If we want to fish, we have to get close to her. That's the only way to ensure that we don't miss any clues. But the problem is that in our team, other than me, we all look like we've been through a lot. How are we going to pretend to be students?"
"How about pretending to be a teacher?" Another team member suggested.
Shi Qinghai raised his head, looked at him with pity, and said, "If you think that your knowledge is enough to prevent you from being coaxed off the podium by the students … then you can give it a try."
The team's time-sharing monitoring and social relations were methodically issued one order after another. The routine work of the Bureau of Investigation came to an end. Only Shi Qinghai and one of his subordinates were left in the black Land Rover. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Help me investigate a person. His name is Xu Le."
"Hmm? Do we need to file a record? "
"No, I'm just interested in a personal matter."
"A personal matter? If there's no record, there's no way to get a secret level. I don't think we'll find anything interesting. "The team member obviously thought that the person he was investigating was a woman.
At this time, Xu Le did not know that Wrinkled Suit, whom he had just met, had begun to secretly investigate him. He just calmly looked at the girl in front of him, hoping that she would turn around and look at him. Unfortunately, the naked Zhang Xiaomeng seemed to have a lot on her mind. She lowered her head and hugged her books as she walked out of the school gate. She didn't notice his existence at all.
…
…
The night was getting late. The Federation Bureau of Investigation's Linhai State Field Office building was still brightly lit. The busy staff walked through the floors. Linhai State was one of the big states in the Capital Ring's S1 Administrative Region. Especially after the university town area was transferred to Linhai State, the area of Linhai State and the workload of the civil servants had greatly increased. The Fourth Section of the office was responsible for preventing the infiltration of the anti-government forces. Now that the Federation was stable, the anti-government forces had already given up on the policy of armed struggle. Under the pressure of the Empire, they were negotiating cooperation with the government and officially participating in the election. The Fourth Section had become the most leisurely department in the entire Federation Bureau of Investigation.
The most leisurely official in the most leisurely department, Shi Qinghai, wasn't going in and out of the major nightclubs in the city to flirt with beautiful women and drink liquor like his colleagues had imagined. Instead, he was sitting in his own office, staring blankly at the holographic screen in front of him.
Shi Qinghai didn't want to investigate the secret of the little gatekeeper, but he subconsciously wanted to get closer to the young man. He also had a secret in his heart that he couldn't let others know, so he had to find out whether the gatekeeper who knew how to do the horse stance had any kind of background.
The results of the investigation quickly came out. It was a very clean file. A recently retired tunnel repairer had returned to the capital and was doing a very ordinary job. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
"So it's a Field Mouse, and a very clean one at that." Shi Qinghai smiled as he looked at the holographic screen. "It's a pity that I can't find out more specific information about this guy called Xu Le. But … why is it so coincidental that he came to the same university town as Zhang Xiaomeng? Such an obvious loophole. It seems that he's not in the same field, but just an interesting guy. "
All the information of the Federation's citizens from birth was stored in the vast Federation's computer monitoring network. The most comprehensive information could be obtained through the chip at the back of their neck. However, the Federation's First Charter protected the privacy of every citizen to the strictest extent. Unless the relevant department issued an application, the privacy of the citizens was strictly prohibited from being known by anyone.
The spirit of the First Charter had been deeply ingrained in people's hearts for countless years, so Shi Qinghai didn't find it strange. He didn't continue to investigate Xu Le's relationships. His beautiful but tired face suddenly showed a trace of sadness. After a moment of silence, he threw all the information he found about Xu Le into the document processor. He believed that for a long time, no one would investigate Xu Le again.
"I can finally find a blank piece of paper to draw on. Damn it, I've been lonely for so long. I need to find a playmate, right?"
Shi Qinghai said something that he didn't believe himself. He inserted the car remote key into the standard interface of the computer. An inconspicuous small program began to lurk in the internal network. According to Xu Le's filter, from this moment on, if the Federation Investigation Bureau's field office wanted to investigate the little concierge, they couldn't hide it from him.
…
…
Under the sun, Xu Le hugged the alloy steel ball casting and walked down the high stairs while panting. As he walked, he complained in his heart about the professor's discrimination against audit students. After every component class, he was responsible for returning the courseware.
It had been three months since he came to Ewha University. After paying a sponsorship fee, he finally obtained the school's audit student certificate. The school didn't mind this retired soldier who seemed to have some savings to become a member of the class. The Federation implemented a five-hour work day. Xu Le was too lazy to look for a house in Linhai, so he simply continued to work as a concierge, which had no future. Every day, other than eagerly learning the mechanical engineering knowledge that he was interested in, he didn't have much to do. At night, he just slept in the concierge's room. As for the other old men who were responsible for guarding the door, he didn't have much contact with them.
Everything seemed to have returned to the ordinary but fulfilling life in Donglin District. The only difference was that today, Xu Le didn't have a boss lying lazily on the sofa beside him. Oh, he was wrong. There was another difference, and it was the same lazy government official in front of him.
"Why are you … here again?" Xu Le saw the guy wearing a tattered, expensive suit under the stone stairs of the teaching building. His mind was in a mess, and he almost dropped the casting on his foot.
