Chapter 217
Wasabi sat by the window, his eyes on the tea swaying slightly in the cup, but his thoughts had already drifted away.
In fact, he had long been deeply puzzled. When he learned that Zhang Xing had asked him to meet, he knew that Zhang Xing must have a question to ask him. However, according to common sense, the leader of Group 3, Geng Jianhui, should be well aware of the situation in the game. But why did Zhang Xing act as if he knew nothing at this moment, as if he had just heard it for the first time?
Zhang Xing shook his head slightly, his eyes became a little deep: "Since investigating the case of Director Gao, I and several brothers from Group 3 have been on missions outside. It is an unfamiliar and dangerous area. We are like chess pieces abandoned by fate. Most of the time, we have lost contact with the team. In the past four or five days, I have only contacted the team leader once or twice, and each call was extremely short and hasty. He did not mention to me what happened in the bureau in the past few days. What you just said is indeed the first time I have heard of it."
Shanqi raised his head, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.
"This is strange. Logically speaking, the impact of what happened in the bureau these days is so far-reaching that it has affected your task of tracking down the rass organization. According to the clear instructions from above, as early as three days ago, everyone in the action team was ordered to cancel the investigation of the rass organization case, but why didn't Lao Geng inform you?"
The deep meaning of Shanqi's words couldn't be clearer. It was obviously sounding the alarm to Zhang Xing, suggesting that his team leader Geng Jianhui's behavior was extremely abnormal and even had the possibility of betrayal.
After listening to Shanqi's words, Zhang Xing fell into deep thought. He carefully sorted out various clues and possibilities in his mind, and then shook his head firmly.
The current situation is becoming more and more complicated, like a mess, which has far exceeded his original imagination. It is undeniable that the recent behavior of team leader Geng Jianhui is indeed weird, but it is impossible to believe that the old team leader who once fought side by side with him and went through life and death with him would do something that violates principles and morality such as betrayal.
In Zhang Xing's mind, he was more inclined to think that Geng Jianhui might be facing some unspeakable difficulties, or he was bound by some unspeakable secrets.
The ups and downs that they had experienced together, the years of sharing joys and sorrows, flashed through his mind one by one. Geng Jianhui's loyalty and integrity had been fully proven in countless missions in the past.
Zhang Xing hesitated again and again, and finally decided to bury the quarrel with Geng Jianhui today deep in his heart and not tell Shanqi at all.
Although Shanqi and his relationship had long surpassed the friendship between ordinary teammates, and the trust and tacit understanding between them were extremely deep, he knew that once this matter was told to Shanqi, it would most likely bring him unnecessary troubles and troubles.
In addition, Zhang Xing's intuition keenly perceived that Geng Jianhui was now likely to be deeply trapped in some dangerous and secret vortex.
The closer you are to Geng Jianhui, the easier it is to be dragged by that invisible force and fall into unpredictable difficulties.
Although Wasabi also belongs to the action team, he is not a member of their team after all. There are some troubles and dangers, and Zhang Xing does not want Wasabi to be innocently involved.
"Maybe when contacting, time is tight, so he didn't say it, and our team leader has always had a very high hatred for Junji Watanabe. This time, the arrest operation against the Panasonic Youth Association was temporarily changed to peripheral surveillance, which must have hit him hard. He was too tired and depressed, so he naturally couldn't take care of some things."
Zhang Xing frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, looking for a reasonable explanation for Geng Jianhui's abnormal behavior.
Seeing Zhang Xing take the initiative to help Geng Jianhui explain, Wasabi's eyes flashed with a brief doubt, but it soon dissipated. He did not continue to doubt, but nodded thoughtfully, as if digesting what Zhang Xing said.
Then, he seemed to suddenly remember something important, and then asked: "By the way, all three of your groups have been secretly investigating the rass organization's case outside these days. Have you found any results now?"
When Zhang Xing heard this, his body was slightly startled, and his mind quickly turned, and he immediately thought that the details of the three groups' investigation outside did not seem to be widely spread throughout the bureau.
Otherwise, how could Shanqi know nothing about it? However, whether to tell Shanqi the details or not, Zhang Xing was in hesitation and entanglement.
Just when he was still weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Shanqi unexpectedly took the initiative to ask again:"I heard that the leader behind the rass organization seems to be called Lord Black Mountain?"
Shanqi's sudden words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which startled Zhang Xing slightly.
Zhang Xing couldn't help but look at Shanqi with deep eyes, his heart full of speculation and doubts. He was a little difficult to judge whether Shanqi was deliberately testing him, or he really didn't know the specific actions of their three groups in the past few days, but just heard of the title of "Lord Black Mountain".
Looking at Zhang Xing's deep eyes full of inquiry and vigilance, Wasabi could not help but roll his eyes at Zhang Xing, with a look of helplessness and dissatisfaction on his face:
"I didn't test you. I really don't know what the three of you have done in the past few days. I heard about the name of Lord Black Mountain from our captain. When we were smoking that day, he kept repeating the terms Lord Black Mountain and Old Demon Black Mountain. At that time, out of curiosity, I asked about it. Later, I learned that this so-called Lord Black Mountain might be the leader behind the rass organization, but that's all I know."
The tacit understanding between Wasabi and Zhang Xing has always existed. Although they belong to different groups, this tacit understanding seems to be an invisible bond that closely connects them. Even if it is just some subtle looks from Zhang Xing, Wasabi can often keenly and accurately understand the meaning.
Since it was Old Dove who informed Wasabi about the name of Lord Black Mountain, it was enough to show that Geng Jianhui should have passed on the relevant information he reported to Director Song and Jiang Yu.
However, Wasabi was probably unaware of the accidents and blows suffered by the three groups.
Zhang Xing chose to conceal from Wasabi the disappearance of Ming Di, the injury of Chi Hu's girlfriend Tang Wan, and the collision of Jing Ji.
After all, Team Leader Geng Jianhui also knew these news, but he did not reveal them to the outside world. His strong intuition told Zhang Xing that there might be some unknown secrets hidden in it.
