he came from the mirror

Ten minutes later, the three sat on the sofa in the private room of the bar again. Caroline called the waiter and added a few glasses of wine for the two men.

"Before the formal talk, please allow me to introduce myself to my new friend." Caroline pulled her long hair around her ear, smiled and said to the other party, "My name is Caroline, and I used to call you I have a Chinese name, Bei Chunchun, so you can also call me Chunchun directly."

Fang Ziming: "...I'll call you Miss Caroline."

"You really don't see it." Caroline gave him a reproachful look: "My profession is an intermediary, you should already know this. Please allow me to keep my age secret, but I am a Libra, and I like travel and adventure , maybe we can make an appointment with each other, and next time we go to Northern Europe to see glaciers and polar bears?"

Tang Yu interrupted her impatiently: "Aren't your hobbies money and men? When did you change it to travel and adventure?"

Fang Ziming clenched his fist and put it next to his lips: "Cough cough cough cough!"

Caroline glared at Tang Yu, then turned her head and smiled at Fang Ziming: "I still don't know what to call this lovely gentleman?"

Fang Ziming: "I..."

Tang Yu sat on the same side of the table as him. The man stretched out a hand and held his wrist under the cover of the table, implying that he should not speak, and said to Caroline, "I said his name is Jack, then He's called that, just like I want to call myself To."

Fang Ziming's heart moved slightly. Although he didn't know why Tang Yu wanted to hide his identity, it wouldn't hurt to be careful.

Caroline obviously also knew that the name was not real, and she waved her hand a little bit unbearably: "Okay, a pseudonym is a pseudonym, but I still have to say that the name Jack is the same as to, it sounds like a fool Big guy. Seriously, why do you keep thinking of all kinds of bad names? Isn't Francis or Elvis bad?"

"Not good." Tang Yu sneered: "I can't remember if it's too long. In fact, I wanted to call it Ed (ed) at first, but obviously to is easier to remember, because I watched "Tom and Jerry". "

Fang Ziming couldn't help asking: "Then why am I called Jack?"

Tang Yu said as a matter of course: "Well, "Titanic", the leading actor is so famous."

really.

Fang Ziming was not at all surprised by this answer.

Tang Yu tapped the table with his middle finger: "Okay, Caroline, if you still remember what we are here for, let's get to the point now."

Caroline gave him a surprised look: "Oh, I really didn't expect that one day I would see you actively urging me to work quickly."

Her beautiful green eyes wandered between the two men for a moment, her index finger painted with bright nail polish brushed her lower lip, and she suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Did he give you motivation?"

Fang Ziming suddenly felt uncomfortable. He picked up the wine glass, lowered his head and took a sip of the light blue liquid in the glass.

Tang Yu said, "Put away your dangerous thoughts, if you still want to ask me to help."

Caroline: "Okay, okay. To, you've never been so bad at joking before."

Tang Yu tapped on the desktop again: "Speak business."

Caroline looked at him with a half-smile: "As you wish, let's talk business."

The woman took out a laptop and an inconspicuous small USB flash drive from the satchel she carried with her.

"I heard that Tony went to Huaguo to find you before he took over this commission. Did he explain the content of this commission to you in detail?" She turned on the computer and asked Tang Yu when she was waiting for it to turn on.

"He said that the target person is a middle-aged man who is engaged in clerical work. The reason for the reward... seems to be that he robbed his employer's wife." Tang Yu lazily played with the wine glass, and the man casually watched the liquid in the glass sway Brilliant colors were reflected under the bright orange light, and he said: "I heard that the task was originally entrusted to Barrett's team, and the guys in Barrett's team usually receive tasks above A level, so grab a little three If you want to invite them, the bounty is surprisingly high, if you say there is nothing tricky in it, who will believe it?"

Caroline hummed: "The intermediary for this business is Quincy. I used some connections to try to contact him a few days ago, but I made some unexpected discoveries."

"Barrett's team took over the business in mid-May. Although the employer has concealed his information, as long as I want to check, I can still find some useful things." She took out a box of women's cigarettes from her bag , while gracefully pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up, leaning on the table with his elbows, he said with a smile: "The employer is from a deck factory in the United States, and there is another mystery behind the factory. My informant found out that It is a secret biotechnology research institute, not funded by the government, but there may be some strange transactions behind the two."

Tang Yu slapped back the smoke ring she spit out again: "Then here comes the question, why does such a scientific research institute that sounds very problematic issue a reward to designate a Barrett team with outstanding capabilities to find an unfettered A boy with the power of a chicken?"

In fact, when he was talking to Caroline, he was always paying attention to Fang Ziming's situation beside him.

Seeing the other party pick up the third glass of cocktail on the table curiously, the man finally stretched out his hand, calmly took the glass away from Fang Ziming's hand, then handed him a bottle of mineral water, and whispered to him: "The wine here The aftertaste is not small, if you want to experience the torture of a hangover when you wake up tomorrow morning, then continue to drink."

Fang Ziming blinked. He was actually a little dizzy, so he took the water bottle obediently, unscrewed the cap and took a sip: "Well, I think I have felt their power now."

Caroline was operating the computer, glanced at the two of them from time to time, and sighed with jealousy: "Oh, you are so attentive."

Tang Yu pretended not to hear, and stared at her as she inserted the USB flash drive into the interface: "The Barit team took a month and didn't catch the legendary mistress?"

Caroline: "The news from my other informant—more than half of the members of Barrett's team died in the Middle East, and the remaining few, together with Quincy, disappeared."

Tang Yu narrowed his eyes: "Missing?"

Caroline shrugged her shoulders: "Ha, they may have been defeated by the other party. The disappearance is just an ambiguous statement. I guess the rest of the people have disbanded where they are, and hid in some corner in desperation to save their lives. "

"Who is the opponent? What's the secret behind the mission that Barrett took?" Tang Yu stared at her and whispered: "You know, I hate troublesome commissions, which usually represent endless Conspiracy. God knows why these people choose bounty hunters, they should go to mercenaries for this kind of task."

Caroline pursed her lips, held a cigarette between her lips, and said, "The task that Barrett took...how should I put it..."

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "To, do you believe that there are some, some extraordinary existences lurking in this world? For example... superpowers or something."

Tang Yu and Fang Ziming didn't expect her to mention this all of a sudden. Both of them were taken aback. The man's left hand hidden under the table gently squeezed Fang Ziming's wrist. The young man lowered his eyes. , making a puzzled expression at the right time.

Tang Yu: "You mean?"

Caroline didn't answer, but instead said: "In late April this year, a wildfire occurred in an uninhabited forest in the western United States. Have you seen this report?"

"Huh?" Tang Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Hearing this time, Fang Ziming flicked the finger of his right hand under the table indiscernibly.

Tang Yu hadn't let go of his hand yet, the slightly trembling skin under his fingertips made him notice Fang Ziming's strangeness almost instantly.

He suddenly had some thoughts in his mind, but he still had that noncommittal expression on his face: "I was already in China at that time, and even if the United States was bombed, it would have nothing to do with me."

Caroline rolled her eyes gracefully: "Just say you don't know."

"Regarding the forest fire, some media reported that it was a spontaneous combustion accident caused by a thunderstorm. Of course, that piece of news was used to deceive ordinary people." The woman glanced at the door of the box and lowered her voice: "The real reason is that that day There was a meteorite breaking up over the Earth - which is strange news that the world seems to have collectively ignored - and one of the meteorite's fragments happened to fall in the forest, which started the wildfire."

Tang Yu asked calmly: "Then, what does this have to do with the order received by Barrett's team?"

Caroline bit the slender cigarette, turned the computer screen in the other direction, and said, "The source of the information that follows is not my informant. I will use the string of numbers you sent me to solve the problem." Opened Tony's encrypted email, and I only briefly read the contents of it this morning, and to be honest, I really hope this is just a nasty prank he picked up on the spur of the moment."

Tang Yu moved the computer to the position between him and Fang Ziming, so that they could watch the email content together.

The wording of this email was very concise, which was quite different from Tony's usual style. After only reading a short paragraph, Tang Yu raised his eyebrows.

"This was written by Tony?" He tapped the screen with his hand, and the look of doubt in his eyes almost became real: "If you say that he wrote a hundred 'help' in the email, I might believe it even more a little."

Caroline spread her hands: "The email is [-]% from him. As for who wrote it, I want to know more than you."

"Well, I suspect that someone wrote for him, or that idiot Tony was used as a mouthpiece." Tang Yu quickly came to a conclusion, and then looked down at the email again.

In general, this is a report letter exposing a certain biotechnology research institute secretly conducting illegal experiments in the United States.

The number of illegal experiments mentioned in the letter was astonishingly large, but the author gave a brief overview of them all. He focused on the forest fire that occurred in the western United States in mid-April, and the Yanming Institute brought back a fragment of a meteorite on April 4. , and placed it in a safe warehouse on the 4th floor underground.

Then, on the evening of the 28th, the fragment was inexplicably stolen.
