Chapter 395 Stone Lions and Higher-Level Forces

"Let's drink tea first."

After hearing Gao Yi's question, Tan Zhi took another sip of tea and did not respond directly. Instead, he turned his palm and pointed at the coffee table.

When Gao Yi raised the tea cup and began to taste it, she slowly said the second half of the sentence:

"Your tea is different from that of Ms. Ma. There is no ink or melon seed shells in it."

After appreciating Gao Yi's coughing and speechless eyes, she spread her hands:

"Just kidding."

It has to be said that as time goes by, Tan Zhi seems to have recovered a lot from the sadness of losing Captain Huang.

Her original liveliness and quirkiness seemed to have been revived.

But these original qualities have not completely removed its current cold and melancholy temperament, but just like an ape in the woods, showing its face at the top of the tree from time to time.

What is displayed is this kind of humor that makes people speechless.

Even Gao Yi didn't think the other party's jokes were very funny...

Of course, it can also be seen from this that even if the other party is the boss, Tan Zhi is still a little dissatisfied with Ms. Maganai.

This is not difficult to understand. In this brief contact, Gao Yi could also see that the head of the Armed Forces Department of the Investigation Bureau was not a good person.

But in any case, the conversation between the two gradually turned to the right track.

Tan Zhi obviously didn't want to talk more about the "mission" mentioned by Ma Jianai. Considering that this didn't happen in the past few days, Gao Yi was no longer eager to ask.

The specific preparation and research work should be postponed for a while.

After another round of tea and small talk, Captain Tan finally began to tell her real purpose of convening this meeting.

But before that, she raised her head and looked at the intern Zhong Ming standing at the gate:

"Xiao Zhong, please go and hand in the report of yesterday's meeting for me."

"The report was handed in at noon, and the copy is in your drawer!"

The intern who was called stood at attention, looking straight ahead with rather nervous eyes. His voice was amplified as much as possible but still trembling.

"Then this week's canteen tickets..."

Tan Zhi sighed and changed the topic, but this time Zhong Ming answered faster:

"The report has been received. Yours is in the folder on the right side of the desk!"

By this time, Gao Yi couldn't help it anymore.

He turned around, exposed his face from behind the leather sofa, and looked at the intern with a speechless expression.

After looking at Gao Yi for several seconds, Zhong Ming finally seemed to understand something and "reported" again. He said embarrassedly that he remembered something that he hadn't done yet, and walked out without forgetting to close the door.

As the other party walked away, Gao Yi turned back and looked at Tan Zhi again:

"It's true that I haven't made much progress...but that's what interns are like."

"At least he does his job very neatly..."

Tan Zhi shook his head slightly, apparently speechless.

As she spoke, she flipped her wrist, revealing the player tattoo on her fair skin, and took out a stone lion the size of an egg.

That's right, it's a stone lion.

But unlike the one placed at the door of the bank, the stone lion that Tan Zhi took out was painted, and its eyebrows, beard and temples turned into a cloud-like red.

There is also a small wooden sign with writing fixed on the paw of the little stone lion.

If you look carefully, the words above are "Listen together and you will understand."

Then Tan Zhi placed the little stone lion on the coffee table and patted its head gently.

An invisible energy field, centered on the sign that read "Listen and you will become enlightened", gradually spread to the surroundings, covering half of the office.

As a [mysticist], Gao Yi can naturally grasp this change easily.

He also gradually felt this warm feeling of being wrapped, as if his voice and movements would be covered with a thick protective film.

"This little thing ensures that our conversations are completely private and cannot be listened to."

Seeing Gao Yi looking around and studying the purpose of this little lion, Tan Zhi gave a straightforward explanation.

There is such a thing, why have I never heard of it?

But that's right, after all, Gao Yi has always been fighting and killing in various places.

Although he is not the type who likes fighting, he can hardly escape various battles whether in the dungeon or in reality.

And this also made his search and selection of equipment on the market extremely practical.

What Gao Yi wants most at this stage is long-range weapons and non-pharmaceutical treatment equipment, both of which are his pain points.

Without long-range weapons, he lacked options in many battle scenes.

Without treatment equipment, his various injuries were difficult to resolve.

Even now, Gao Yi is suffering from the negative effects of his equipment, and even the wounds on his face have not yet healed.

Unlike Gao Yi, official people like Tan Zhi actually have much less chance of fighting.

In fact, the Yellow Team just had a strong sense of justice and took the initiative to track down and solve the wanted criminals, which is why they encountered a battle in "West City Secrets".

For people like them within the Investigation Bureau, props used in power struggles are sometimes more useful than weapons and equipment.

For Tan Zhi, having such a device that can ensure that the conversation is not monitored is obviously the confidence that he can invite Gao Yi to meet here.

On the other hand, seeing how serious the other party was, Gao Yi also understood that this conversation was definitely not as simple as Lala's usual routine.

As the barrier released by the stone lion stabilized, Tan Zhi rubbed her eyes and began her story quite seriously:

"Do you remember what I said when you called me at night?"

"I remember that you said there were some problems in your investigation bureau?" Gao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

After receiving the reply, Tan Zhi nodded and spoke again with a steady look:

"I can roughly confirm that there are pawns of certain forces in our investigation bureau... pawns of higher forces."

"Higher forces, do you mean the managers of several copies?"

Gao Yi was not surprised by this answer. He fell back and looked up at the slowly fluctuating barrier on the ceiling.

"We naturally have people from the [Director], [Commander], [Doctor] and [Boss]."

Tan Zhi would not say much. Of course, she knew Gao Yi's information collection ability and would not emphasize these basic information.

After a slight pause, she also raised her head and looked at the ceiling.

But her sight did not stay in the room like Gao Yi did, but seemed to be directed to a higher place:

"Besides them, we also have forces coming from farther away that we know nothing about."
