32 days

The first thing I felt was that it was different from the humid and warm dry space on the 32nd. The heating in the interrogation room was on, and the headlights baked the air with little moisture, making the skin always in a state of breathing.

Yi Alan opened his eyes.Opposite him, Yan Fei was sitting upright with his chest folded.Although they have been separated for 24 hours, in Yan Fei's scale, less than a second has just passed. If he can perceive a finer unit of time, he must be able to tell a much shorter time.It's an unfair confrontation, though for "outsiders" there's no need to suffer the long wait.

Yan Fei's eyes locked on Yi Alan tightly like a spotlight.

At this moment, Yi Alan, who was mentally oppressed, suddenly let go of his heart, because he saw the urgency in Yan Fei's eyes, the urgency of a father.

Before Yi Alan could say anything, Yan Fei's cell phone rang, and Yan Fei hurried to look.The news from the bell didn't take long, because he only glanced at it, and his whole body was like a toasted coat, slowly leaning on the back of the chair, extremely relaxed.The ice and snow that had been traversing the night had all left him.

Yan Fei smiled and looked at Yi Alan: "You succeeded, thank you for your cooperation." His voice became fluffy and soft, full of gratitude.

Yi Alan glanced at the screen of his mobile phone: "Is it a message from your daughter?"

Yan Fei nodded happily, stood up, and switched the phone to the address book interface: "Okay, now it's time for me to surrender. If there is no accident, you can go back to your room and have a good sleep tonight." After a pause After a pause, he said again: "Thank you."

At four o'clock in the morning, the interrogation room was still open.Yan Fei, who used to be sitting in the interrogation seat, had already lost his place and was sitting in the interrogation seat, and opposite him was Luo Caiyun, the head of the emergency affairs team on the 32nd.

Yan Fei spent an hour explaining what he did in detail without any concealment.

"You don't seem surprised." Yan Fei looked at Luo Caiyun, the lesbian who had worked with him for half a year.

Luo Caiyun smiled: "Although we haven't worked together for a long time, I can say that I know you very well. When I was still in the Ministry of State Security, I often heard that you are a half-time colleague. If anyone in the Ministry When you work with the intelligence service, you usually come back full of praise and curse at others."

Yan Fei said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment."

"In the few days when the leadership team of the affairs group was formed, I got very high authority and read the secret files of several of you. Since you were still unknown, I spent a lot of time reviewing them from beginning to end. Most of your life, and many people's evaluation of you, even your political opponents. I believe that those words can represent a person's true image to some extent."

Yan Fei was about to say something, but Luo Caiyun interrupted him: "So as early as the Northwest Air Force weapons R&D center incident, when Yi Alan and Zhou Yanan fell into the forest, and learned from Cheng Siyuan that there was a spy in the R&D center, I immediately You noticed something was wrong. At that time, you were in charge of finding out the hidden spy at the Northwest Air Force Weapons Center, and the huge pressure was on you. As the 32nd got closer, you became more and more anxious, and even the corners of your mouth turned upwards. The fire was bubbling. But at that time, I was thinking, no, this is not like Yan Fei. The Yan Fei I know is an elite carefully trained by a special military academy. He started working as a field agent and has been to no less than ten The country performs dangerous field missions and has faced life and death crises more than once. As his status gradually improves, the crises he faces are no longer just personal life and death, but also those of his subordinates, the team, and even the entire country. .Faced with that kind of pressure, he can still maintain a minimum of calmness, so he shouldn't be so anxious at this moment. I guess, he must bear far more pressure than I can see."

Yan Fei smiled wryly: "That's right, it was at that time that I learned about my daughter's plight and her attempt to commit suicide. If it wasn't for the agents of country A to let me cover the spy in the Northwest R&D Center, they would take the initiative to inform me of these things. For me, I didn't even know anything. I hadn't been home for a long time at that time, I hadn't even called my daughter, and my self-blame almost stopped me from working."

Luo Caiyun smiled, and her smile made people feel that she had seen through everything: "There was another time when a group of nearby residents were incited to come to the affairs team to make a fuss."

Yan Fei said: "It was an excellent opportunity. I found a chance to be alone with Yi Alan, and reached a cooperation agreement with him, asking him to help me implement the fishing plan on the 32nd. You won't say it, but when I tell Before you did all this, you already knew what happened that day, right?"

"That's not true." Luo Caiyun shook her head, "But I know something must have happened between you and Yi Alan that day."

Yan Fei became curious: "Oh? Why? Did I show my feet? This is really frustrating."

"I really suspected that day, in fact, after Zhou Yan'an reported Yi Alan's improper operation in an important base on the 32nd. You were in charge of interrogating Yi Alan, but you didn't get any useful information from him."

Yan Fei shrugged helplessly: "You said that you can only use some soft methods, but Yi Alan's heart is tough enough. Even if I don't give him psychological hints, it is difficult to interrogate him."

"But Yi Alan won't be so easy."

"Okay." Yan Fei admitted, "After all, I, the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, still has a few tricks. If I don't release the water, Yi Alan's life will be even more difficult."

Luo Caiyun laughed: "I can't tell whether you put the water or not. After all, you really have some skills in this area. I was just worried because I couldn't figure out what Yi Alan wanted to do, so I started Tracing back some of his past behaviors, hoping to find anomalies. Then I doubted that day. Then I called up some surveillance cameras. We did not install surveillance cameras in the house where they lived-this privacy should be given at least, so I I watched the surveillance in the corridor, from the day you knocked on the door and called Yi Alan. You said a few words at the door and then entered the room. Although the surveillance could not see what happened after that, I can guess that you must be Enter the escape tunnel from the anti-gravity well, and then take a car to the other end of the shelter. Unfortunately, the escape tunnel is difficult to install monitoring because of the complex magnetic field of various facilities. Surveillance found a trace of abnormality."

"what?"

"When he came out, Yi Alan's face was very pale..."

"I don't think this is abnormal. Any ordinary person would panic and turn pale when he learned that terrorists might attack a government building and had to use the escape route. In fact, in my impression, Yi A Lan's performance can be considered calm."

"Of course." Luo Caiyun admitted this, "So I didn't try to find anything from the faces of Yi Alan and you, an old fox. I noticed the time, to be precise, it's the time difference."

Yan Fei was startled, his thoughts were racing, and he seemed to realize something.

Luo Caiyun said: "Although the straight-line distance between us and that hidden shelter is not that close, the magnetic levitation passage and the supporting magnetic levitation cars have greatly shortened the travel time, and it only takes about seven or eight minutes for a trip. This is our Isn’t the reason for spending so much money building a maglev escape channel? Even if someone is injured and has limited mobility, they can quickly get rid of possible pursuit behind them, and then reach the safe shelter with armed and medical treatment as soon as possible. But I noticed that from you Entering the house with Yi Alan, and the monitoring at the other end showed that you came out, and there was an interval of 8 minutes. The time difference, I don’t think it’s because you sat down and drank a cup of coffee after entering the house, and then decided to escape slowly.”

Luo Caiyun glanced at Yan Fei, and continued: "Plus what I just said, I know you very well, all-round. I know your style of work. When you recruit spies or interrogate prisoners, you are good at You also have a lot of research in psychology by using aggressive and oppressive methods and using the environment to exert influence on the target. So I guess, if you want Yi Alan to obey what you do, you shouldn’t be in Just talk directly in the driving car. You must have stopped the maglev car halfway to create a dark environment with no roads in the narrow and long tunnel to increase the oppression. On the way to escape, stop suddenly, the space is cramped, and no one looks up. Yi A Lan's psychological defense must have dropped very low at that time."

Yan Fei couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "I didn't expect that you didn't even let go of this detail." Then he said, "Since you found something suspicious, why didn't you stop me? At least I shouldn't be allowed to continue to interrogate Yi Alan, but by Come yourself."

Luo Caiyun showed that mysterious smile again: "As I said, I understand you, so I choose to believe you."

Yan Fei frowned: "What do you mean?"

Luo Caiyun said: "Based on the position and belief you have always adhered to in the turbulence of the past 30 years, I choose to believe in your position and belief at this moment. Although the crisis you have encountered and the crisis you are facing this time Not the same."

"You don't even know what I'm facing..." Yan Fei said, "Sometimes personal life and death are completely different from the life and death of relatives. I can disregard my own safety, but I can't ignore my wife and my family. daughter."

"I know." Luo Caiyun nodded earnestly, "So if you defy the law, I know that you must have encountered a problem that you can't solve with all formal means. This does not conflict with my belief in you. I believe that your bottom line is still Now, I am willing to take risks and give you enough time. Facts have proved that you have not failed my trust, have you?"

Yan Fei lowered his head silently, as if he had been shocked, and he said after a long time: "Actually, I also heard about your name a long time ago. They always say that the woman surnamed Luo in the Ministry of State Security is really amazing. Calm, always able to analyze the real point from the intricate appearance, trampled a bunch of men from the Ministry of State Security under their feet, but then they always followed up with a sentence that sounded a bit regretful, "It's just that sometimes you can't get rid of women Sensibility'. Working in a government department like the Ministry of Homeland Security, sentimentality can lead to great mistakes."

Luo Caiyun's expression was calm: "I don't know how many times I have heard this kind of words and the many variants of this kind of words."

"Then what do you think?"

Luo Caiyun smiled, but suddenly changed the topic: "During this time, I have read a lot of reports on the 32nd sent by the physical chemistry team. Those reports are really headaches, and I can hardly understand them. , are some formulas I have never seen before and some Chinese characters that I know but don’t know when combined. So every time I grab the collar of their team leader and ask them to try to use words that I can understand when giving conclusions I think they must have called me ignorant many times behind my back."

While Yan Fei was wondering, Luo Caiyun said again: "However, those physics things remind me of the distant past, when I first came into contact with quantum mechanics when I was a student. At that time, I was resistant to quantum mechanics because Its uncertainty principle. Its uncertainty makes me feel that the world can never be controlled. Even the physics of knowing things can’t really grasp something. Then what means can we use to clarify ours? Existence? But soon, my resistance disappeared, because I learned the Schrödinger equation and probability waves. Although we can't tell where a naughty particle such as an electron will fall, we can calculate where it falls. The probability of certain locations, some places with high probability, some places with low probability, it's not exactly escaping our predictions."

Luo Caiyun looked at Yan Fei, and there was even a detachment on her face: "Since the application of probability to quantum physics is a science, why do we use the word sensibility to roughly define it when it is applied to humans? I I just collected your information as much as possible, and then filled it into an equation about people in my mind as a condition, and finally got a probability wave about you in this matter. The probability of loyalty is as high as 90.00%, and the probability of betrayal is as high as [-]%. It may be less than ten percent, so why don't I trust you?"

Yan Fei was speechless for a long time, and then said: "Probability is just a probability after all, not a deterministic result. No matter how small the probability is, it may happen. What if you are wrong?"

Luo Caiyun replied: "But in dealing with this chaotic world, we have no choice, don't we? The emergence of the 32nd has defeated our regulatory methods, and every country is trying to use some methods that were not considered before. The situation will become more and more chaotic and less and less under our control. Instead of turning us into a pile of distrustful sand in the future, I am willing to take a little risk now and test the probability wave equation of human nature in my mind in advance. "

Then, Luo Caiyun smiled slyly again, which made her almost look like a young girl, rather than the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Security who was nearly fifty years old, "And I not only choose to believe in you, I also believe in Yi Alan."

"Really?" Yan Fei raised his eyebrows, "I seem to remember that you arranged for Zhou Yan'an to test him. It seems unfair to use some kind of feelings."

Luo Caiyun feigned unhappiness and knocked on the table: "Could it be possible that you think that I have come to this day because of the heart of a Bodhisattva? Based on my understanding of Yi Alan, I think the probability that he will not harm the country is 60.00%—after all Unlike you, he has experienced many trials of life and death, and the choice of a person at a critical moment can more accurately reflect his heart. Arranging Zhou Yan'an to test the conversation is just adding more conditions to make a prediction, and then The final probability is raised to 70.00% again. But this time, I can trust him a little more, and I have collected another important data about his equation, and every evaluation in the future will take effect."

Yan Fei smiled: "Do you take this as a touchstone for him? But he was coerced by me, aren't you afraid that he will be coerced by others again in the future?"

Luo Caiyun said: "You used his mother and grandma to coerce him, so if we can protect his relatives, I can believe his position. I always believe that as long as a person has something to worry about in this world, he will always I hope that the world will get better and better. And if we can’t even protect his relatives, then no matter what happens, it’s not his fault alone. Taking a step back, he didn’t die because his relatives are in your hands. Choosing to obey is just pure cowardice and timid fear of death, so it's actually better to control, isn't it?"

"He is very kind." Yan Fei added, "I think he was moved by the pain of the dream call."

"Okay." Luo Caiyun clapped her hands, "Leave these 'sentimental' things aside, let's talk about the most critical part of your plan, the one that country A supports you."

Yan Fei said: "I don't know his real identity, he has been contacting me through my daughter."

According to the mysterious coordinator of Country A, after Yan Fei’s daughter Lin Menghuan was imprisoned by the government employee of Country A, the employee reported it to Bureau 32 of Country A through some channels—the same nature as the emergency team on the 32nd Temporary institutions, and received a great deal of attention. The leaders of Bureau 32 believed that Lin Menghuan, as the only daughter of the deputy director of the Huaguo Intelligence Bureau, would inevitably receive some professional security training, so they judged that the small government civilian staff and the ordinary room might not be able to control Lin Menghuan for a long time , or even be instigated.After discussion, they dispatched supporters to transfer Lin Menghuan to a secret dungeon with high defense and no contact with the outside world.

In this way, the coordinator had the opportunity to communicate with Lin Menghuan.

Luo Caiyun said: "This shows that the military force of the coordinator is very trusted in country A, and he may be able to drive a plane or other means of transportation, otherwise he would not be sent to divert people in their eyes on such a bad road condition. Maybe it is a regular army , or at least have served in the military for many years, like Zhou Yanan."

Yan Fei nodded: "So I doubted his motives at first. He really had no reason to take the initiative to contact me through Menghuan, and his appeal was that one day in the future, when he sent me a message through Lin Menghuan again, we The intelligence agency can use the secret channel in country A to safely transfer him out of country A, and he wants to defect. Moreover, he seems to be afraid that I will lose power or repent because of this, and he revealed four words to me."

"what?"

"Domestication plan."

Luo Caiyun was silent.The domestication project is a scientific research project that country A has secretly implemented for many years, but Hua country has not received definite information so far.If the coordinator knew the relevant information, it would be worthwhile to expose the intelligence agency's arrangements in country A for many years and transfer him out.His helping hand in Lin Menghuan's matter was more like a certificate of honor.

Luo Caiyun thought for a moment before laughing: "He didn't even reveal his true identity, so you believe him so easily?"

Yan Fei smiled bitterly: "At that time, I had no other choice. I could either sit back and watch my dreams suffer, or I would take refuge in country A. The last way was to put all my eggs in one basket. I just chose one that was not so good among so many bad options. Bad."

"What if he is a bait? He lures you to commit crimes and make mistakes, and then we find out, which causes our internal strife and hinders the communication between the affairs group and the intelligence bureau. Until now, we have not been able to confirm that he is really for us. Kidnapped a country A hostage, or just talking about it to tease you."

Yan Fei's expression became serious: "I thought about this possibility. My idea is that even so, I will try. If I am fooled, I will be judged, and the dilemma of dream calling will surface. And as my father, Meng Huan as my daughter, both of our identities will retire. After that, she is just a citizen of Huaguo, asking for help from her motherland."

He raised his head and stared at Luo Caiyun: "Will you rescue her?"

Luo Caiyun calmly accepted Yan Fei's gaze: "I'm not sure we can rescue her, but we will not give up every citizen who is displaced."

Yan Fei smiled: "Then I can rest assured."

Luo Caiyun said: "This is one of the reasons why I trust you - you also trust your country."

Yan Fei straightened his waist and stretched out his hands. The shackles on his wrists rattled, as if he wanted to shake hands: "Although it is short, I am very happy during the time I worked with you."

"Come on." Luo Caiyun slapped his palm away angrily, "Your tone is as if you are going to execute the death penalty tomorrow. Don't worry, since you have a reason for what happened, even though you violated the rules and regulations, you acted in a proper manner, basically it will not cause any harm. The bad consequences, coupled with your hard work for so many years, so the sentence of the military court should not be very heavy. Maybe you can return to work in the Intelligence Bureau in a few years. If the Intelligence Bureau doesn’t want you, it’s okay Come to our Ministry of Homeland Security."

Yan Fei smiled and said: "Then you have to take advantage of these few years to work hard to become a minister. A mere deputy minister is not worthy of my thigh."

Luo Caiyun stood up, and the armed soldiers guarding the interrogation room received the signal, walked in and stood beside Yan Fei, planning to transfer him to a cell and wait for the trial.

"The matter of Lin Menghuan will be handed over to me." Luo Caiyun said, "To be precise, it will be handed over to the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate. I hope they will not be angry because they have to work overtime again."

Sometimes the Ministry of Homeland Security and the Intelligence Agency will leave some horrific messes in the execution of their missions, which require the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come and clean them up.Therefore, when people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs touch the two departments, they usually don't have a good face, and they will always give them a small lesson with verbal swords.

Thinking of this, Luo Caiyun and Yan Fei both laughed at the same time.
