Chapter 568: Fabricated Civilization

Li Li Banfeng returned to the Leaving Suishenju, greeted his wife, and went straight to the Ninth Room.

Xiang Xiang Hongying looked at the phonograph and said, "Zhao Xiao Wan, Seventh Brother hasn't been right lately. Every time he comes home, he runs to the Ninth Room!"

The phonograph gave a faint smile: "Let him run. Do I need to be jealous of that cheap woman Did Honglian?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying looked toward the bedroom door, leaned in close to the phonograph, and said, "Zhao Xiao Wan, the world of the jianghu is treacherous; one must be on guard against certain things."

The phonograph asked, "On guard against what?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying lowered her voice even further: "Did Honglian has seven orifices; her business is bigger than all of ours combined."

"Pah!" The phonograph spat at Xiang Xiang Hongying. "You never have a serious thought all day long. I really don't know what's in your head. I think you just haven't been beaten enough!"

Xiang Xiang Hongying looked aggrieved, sat before the vanity, picked up some rouge, smeared it twice, then put it down: "Zhao Xiao Wan, I'm doing this for your own good. How can you treat me like this? Zhao Xiao Wan, you—"

Where did the phonograph go?

Xiang Xiang Hongying pushed open several bedroom doors and saw the phonograph crouching at the entrance of the Ninth Room, peering through the door crack.

The phonograph was very angry, cursing inwardly: This madman, he starts moving his hands the moment he comes up. He and this Did Honglian really aren't clean.

Li Li Banfeng held ten elixir pills, stroked the lotus heart, and said gently to Did Honglian, "Do you recognize these ten pills?"

Did Honglian replied calmly, "I recognize these elixirs. They were refined using the iron tendons of iron-tendon bamboo."

Li Li Banfeng laughed, "Didn't you say yesterday that they couldn't be refined?"

"I said they couldn't be refined into introductory medicinal powder. I know how to refine these pills. The first batch of iron tendons made by the Peddler was refined by me into these pills."

"Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

"You never asked."

What Did Honglian said was indeed faultless; Li Li Banfeng hadn't asked before, but now he had to ask carefully: "To manufacture introductory medicinal powder, must one first refine the iron tendons into pills?"

If this step was truly necessary, then the Peddler had at least one more Did Honglian in his hands.

Did Honglian said, "At first, that was the case, but later the Peddler didn't know what method he used; he didn't need my help to refine pills and could still manufacture the medicinal powder. Ever since then, the Peddler turned against the people from the Heavens."

"How can these pills be turned into medicinal powder?"

"Pick any three from the lot and refine them again; they will become the introductory medicinal powder for a certain sect. But how exactly to refine them, and which sect corresponds to which three pills, I don't know."

Did Honglian's answer matched Sun Sun Tiecheng's, but that didn't mean she had told the whole truth without reservation.

Li Li Banfeng continued to stroke the lotus heart and asked, "Are the people from the Heavens male or female, and what do they actually look like?"

Did Honglian thought for a long time, sighed, and said, "I can't remember if he was male or female, nor can I remember his appearance. I only remember that he was so beautiful—more beautiful than Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan."

Li Li Banfeng laughed, "That's pure nonsense. Who in this world is more beautiful than my wife?"

Did Honglian tightened her lotus leaves, pinching Li Li Banfeng's finger: "Have you ever seen your wife?"

"I have, in the main hall."

"Do you know what your wife looks like?"

"How could I not know? Even if you threw her into a sea of people, I would recognize her at first glance."

"I'm not talking about what she looks like now; I'm talking about what she looked like originally."

Li Li Banfeng stood up and said, "No matter what my wife looks like, there is no one in this world more beautiful than her."

After saying this, Li Li Banfeng returned to the main room.

The phonograph had run back to the main room a step ahead, standing at the doorway, her horn covered in dew.

Li Li Banfeng said, "Wife, is this sweat?"

"Ah, it is sweat. Just now I wanted to cook a bowl of noodles for my husband, but I didn't know whether to cook wide noodles or thin ones, and I was so anxious I broke into a sweat." The wife's singing voice was still moving, though slightly hoarse.

"What's there to be anxious about?" Li Li Banfeng laughed. "Just cook wide noodles; I love wide noodles too."

"My heart and treasure, do you want to eat soup noodles or dry noodles?"

"Soup noodles."

"My treasure and heart, the noodles will be ready in a moment. You go change your clothes first, and Xiaonu will wash them for you."

"No rush to wash. I have to go to the Outer Continent in a moment and have to cross two lakes."

"My treasure husband, when you come out of the lake, hurry home and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold."

Xiang Xiang Hongying sighed from the side, "Zhao Xiao Wan, when have I ever seen you treat anyone this well?"

Li Li Banfeng ate the noodles and immediately rushed to Yuezhou. He had to clarify a few things:

How deep was the Outer Continent's research into iron-tendon bamboo? Was there a connection between the Dark Energy users' inducing agent and the bamboo?

To what extent had the Snowflake Pier infiltrated the Outer Continent? Were there any of their people in the Dark Star Bureau?

Returning to the Dark Star Bureau, Li Li Banfeng called for Tang Yuan, but Tang Yuan had never heard of iron-tendon bamboo.

If even she hadn't heard of it, Zhong Er and the Lightbulb went without saying. Perhaps the only person in the Bureau who knew about iron-tendon bamboo was Shen Shen Jingye.

Li Li Banfeng dialed Shen Shen Jingye's number, only to hear a series of busy signals. Shen Shen Jingye's desk phone was constantly occupied; he was in his office listening to a call from above.

The caller was Guan Guan Zhengyang, who was slightly younger than Shen Shen Jingye but held a higher position than Du Du Wenming.

"Director Shen, the document asked your bureau to focus investigation work on Li Qi. What have you carried out? What is the difference between the report you submitted and his previous oral statement?"

Shen Shen Jingye had long been prepared: "Precisely because there is no difference, it proves that the investigation results are true. Li Qi is a science enthusiast. Out of a love for science, he went to Yuezhou University to listen to the academic exchange meeting. The meeting that day had no tickets, and anyone could audit it. Before the meeting, Yuezhou University did a lot of promotional work, which is why Li Qi appeared at the scene that day."

Guan Guan Zhengyang was displeased; he felt Shen Shen Jingye was merely quibbling: "Dark Star Bureau personnel attending an academic exchange meeting during working hours? Do you think it's reasonable for such a thing to happen? Do you think this is the result we wanted?"

Shen Shen Jingye's tone grew heavier: "Li Qi attending the academic exchange meeting followed the leave application procedure. He has the right to acquire knowledge during his leave. I think this matter is very reasonable. If you think it's unreasonable, please tell me what activities during his leave would be considered reasonable?

Furthermore, if you feel the results of our investigation are not what you wanted, please trouble yourself to tell me the results you want, and we will investigate according to the results you provide. Do you think that would be appropriate?"

Guan Guan Zhengyang was silent for a long time, unable to say a word. He was often praised for being young and promising, knowledgeable, and eloquent.

Shen Shen Jingye knew very well that the reason he was so outstanding was because there were too few people who could handle him.

Guan Guan Zhengyang raised his volume: "Director Shen, please mind your attitude. The Dark Star Bureau's performance in many recent tasks has had obvious problems. There are many issues that have not yet been characterized!"

Is this trying to scare me?

Shen Shen Jingye was not intimidated: "Whether it's a problem with the bureau or a problem with me personally, as long as the situation is true, I am willing to accept criticism and am willing to accept handling."

"Your problem will certainly be handled. This case is now immediately transferred to the Dark Matter Research Laboratory for handling."

The Dark Matter Research Laboratory—an institution that sounded very scientific. In reality, the nature of this institution was very close to the Dark Star Bureau and would likely replace the Dark Star Bureau after a period of time.

This was standard procedure, as the Dark Star Bureau's own history was not long either.

Shen Shen Jingye would not blame himself for losing the trust of those above, nor would he be anxious because of the change in the Dark Star Bureau's status. "I know about this; I received the document the day before yesterday."

Guan Guan Zhengyang said, "Once you receive the document, hurry up and act. Quickly hand over the suspect and relevant materials."

"I handed them over yesterday morning. The suspect, relevant materials, witnesses, and physical evidence have all been handed over, and the handover procedures have all been completed."

Shen Shen Jingye knew clearly that bringing up yesterday's matter again today was a form of anxiety management, as well as an old trick, aimed at making Shen Shen Jingye feel anxious through self-blame.

If it were before, this trick would indeed have worked, but Guan Guan Zhengyang did not know that Shen Shen Jingye had changed—changed very significantly.

Now, Shen Shen Jingye would not blame himself for losing the trust of those above, nor would he be anxious because of the change in the Dark Star Bureau's status. He only needed to confirm one thing: "Among the handed-over suspects, does it include Li Qi?"

"That is still under study. Wait for the document." Guan Guan Zhengyang could not answer. Li Qi was a Balancer, a very powerful Balancer. If such a person were handed over to the Dark Matter Research Laboratory, the laboratory would not be able to handle him at all.

Shen Shen Jingye hung up the phone, picked up his notebook, and flipped through the notes he had just made.

Since he started working until now, Shen Shen Jingye didn't know how many notebooks he had used. He had to take notes for meetings, take notes for phone calls, and even more so for reporting work in person. Every instruction and every task required notes.

How important were these notes to him?

Actually, not important at all.

Most of Shen Shen Jingye's notes were scribbled randomly. What content was recorded didn't matter; what mattered was the act of taking notes. The bigger the action and the more serious the expression, the more it proved the degree of importance attached.

Of course, there were some important things in the notebook. He flipped past a pile of scribbled notes, found a page with a matrix, pulled a stack of white paper from the printer, and began solving the problem at high speed.

This was part of his cultivation.

He wrote like the wind, using over a dozen sheets of draft paper. The matrix was soon more than half solved. Li Li Banfeng watched from the side for a while and asked, "What level of Calculation Cultivator are you?"

Shen Shen Jingye was neither surprised nor flustered; he was used to it. He simply organized the draft paper, looked up, and said, "I am a Problem Solver, which is what is commonly referred to as a Calculation Cultivator in Like Puluozhou."

Li Li Banfeng smiled. There was a big difference between a Problem Solver and a Calculation Cultivator. Li Li Banfeng had recently flipped through some materials,

and discovered the essential difference between the two.

When a train passed by, a Calculation Cultivator could calculate the best method and timing to stop the train based on the surrounding environment and their own conditions, and could also calculate the entire process of robbing the cargo and laundering the loot afterward. Li Li Banfeng had experienced this at Huangtuqiao.

But a Problem Solver did not possess similar abilities. He didn't know how to stop the train. If given a ready-made plan and told all the known conditions, and then asked to verify whether the plan was feasible, a Problem Solver could provide an answer. Their ability and core were the "problem." Without a problem, a Problem Solver's ability had no room to be exerted.

Was Shen Shen Jingye a Calculation Cultivator or a Problem Solver? This matter still needed verification.

Li Li Banfeng came here to find him because he wanted to see someone: "Professor Yu Yu Yaoming is still in the Bureau, right?"

Shen Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "He's not here anymore. He was picked up by people sent by the Dark Matter Research Laboratory yesterday. If you want to see him,

you have to communicate and coordinate with the Research Laboratory, but I estimate they won't cooperate with you."

Li Li Banfeng didn't think so: "We are all comrades on the same front line; don't think the worst of people. Give me the address of the Research Laboratory, and I'll go communicate with them."

"I don't know their address yet. I'll definitely tell you once I find out." Shen Shen Jingye wasn't joking; he was serious. His temperament had undergone a severe transformation, and this transformation seemed irreversible.

It was a bit like that, but it couldn't be called willful, and it certainly wasn't "letting things rot." Shen Shen Jingye still had the desire to forge ahead; he was working hard at his cultivation and also had the awareness to avoid risks. In the process of negotiating with his superiors, he was more clear-headed than ever before.

What kind of change was it? Li Li Banfeng thought for a long time and could only use one word to describe it.

Real.

Shen Shen Jingye had become more real than before.

"Li Ju, I must also remind you of one thing: the Research Laboratory was just established not long ago, and its hardware facilities are not yet complete, but there are many high-level Dark Energy users among their members. It's best to have a little more patience during the communication process."

Li Li Banfeng frowned and said, "What does that mean? Do you think I'm a person without patience?"

Shen Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "I'm worried they don't have patience. They are all Level 7 Dark Energy users. I'm worried that once they are provoked, they will be beaten to death by you in one go."

"I'm only Level 5; how could I beat a Level 7 to death in one go?"

Shen Shen Jingye calculated simply: "Considering the calculation error, I think it would take two blows at most."

The two were chatting idly when Shen Shen Jingye's phone rang. After looking at the caller ID, he pressed the speakerphone directly.

The call was from Du Du Wenming: "Director Shen, something has happened at the Dark Matter Research Laboratory. We need to hold an emergency meeting now. Come and participate."

If it were in the past, Shen Shen Jingye would have agreed immediately and then speculated on the content of the meeting.

But today he didn't want to play guessing games: "Director Du, what happened? Why do I need to participate in the Research Laboratory's emergency meeting?"

Du Du Wenming was silent for a moment and said, "The professor sent from the Dark Star Bureau to the Research Laboratory has been abducted."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned. Who acted so fast?

Shen Shen Jingye was very dissatisfied: "Director Du, why emphasize that he was sent by the Dark Star Bureau? We already handed the person over to the Research Laboratory yesterday. You're asking me to attend a meeting now—don't tell me you're asking me to be the scapegoat?"

Shen Shen Jingye was right. Calling him over to attend the meeting this time indeed involved the idea of having him stand for the big picture and share the responsibility together.

But Shen Shen Jingye's attitude surprised Du Du Wenming too much. He had directly brought the matter into the open, and Du Du Wenming couldn't say much more,

so he could only tell Shen Shen Jingye the meeting time.

"Is the meeting location at the Research Laboratory? You need to tell me the address of the Research Laboratory."

Du Du Wenming told Shen Shen Jingye the address. After hanging up the phone, Shen Shen Jingye wanted to have his secretary prepare some materials, but once he called the secretary over, Shen Shen Jingye sent him away again.

"Writing materials is useless; no matter how much you write, it's useless. I definitely won't be the scapegoat today, and there's no need to be so tactful when talking to them—" While talking to himself, Shen Shen Jingye scribbled a few pages in his notebook. Seeing that the time was about right, Shen Shen Jingye took a car to attend the meeting.

Two hours later, Shen Shen Jingye returned and went straight to Li Qi's office.

Li Qi put down the materials in his hand and asked, "How is it? You didn't end up being the scapegoat, did you?"

Shen Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "I didn't become the scapegoat, but the matter is ours."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that Yu Yu Yaoming was lost. This matter isn't our fault, but we have to find a way to find Yu Yu Yaoming back."

Li Qi frowned and asked, "Why should we find him?"

"Those above said that Yu Yu Yaoming's disappearance is a security issue caused by Dark Energy and falls under the jurisdiction of the Dark Star Bureau's Security Team."

"Nonsense! Where did the matter happen? Wasn't it at the Research Laboratory?"

"It was at the Research Laboratory, but the situation is quite special." Shen Shen Jingye took a hard drive and copied three videos for Li Qi. These were the surveillance recordings from when Yu Yu Yaoming was abducted.

Yu Yu Yaoming was in the interrogation room at the time, and a Research Laboratory agent was interrogating him while taking notes. Suddenly, a man appeared by the wall of the interrogation room.

This man was not tall, had a large head, and wore a large brown hat with a circle of blue ribbon wrapped around it, and a feather stuck in the ribbon.

Under the brim of the hat, a head of golden-yellow curly hair hung down to his face. Through the curls, one could see his deep blue eyes—large, but very listless.

Below the eyes was a very long nose, the tip of which covered his upper lip. He wore a yellow top and black shorts, and a pair of large leather shoes with the laces tied very neatly.

Li Li Banfeng remembered the classic fairy tale he had read as a child, "The Adventures of Pinocchio."

Could this person be named Pinocchio?

Neither the agent nor Yu Yu Yaoming noticed this man. The man stood by the wall for a while, then moved sideways toward Yu Yu Yaoming.

Li Li Banfeng asked, "Why is he walking sideways?"

Shen Shen Jingye said, "Look further down; there are clues below."

The man stood beside Yu Yu Yaoming for a moment, seemingly observing the shackles on Yu Yu Yaoming's hands and feet.

The agent suddenly looked up, and the man's figure disappeared.

Li Li Banfeng pressed the pause button, repeatedly observing how the man had disappeared.

The frames flashed by one by one. In the previous frame, the man was still standing beside Yu Yu Yaoming; in the next frame, he had vanished.

Shen Shen Jingye shook his head and sighed: "Their hardware equipment is indeed a bit inferior; this is the limit of the surveillance equipment."

The agent asked two more questions, then lowered his head to take notes. Li Li Banfeng asked, "Why was there only one agent in the interrogation room? There should have been at least two, right?"

Shen Shen Jingye said, "The explanation given by the Research Laboratory is that Yu Yu Yaoming's mental state is unstable, and in crowded occasions,

he doesn't cooperate with the interrogation and might even attack the interrogator."

"Has this situation occurred at the Dark Star Bureau?"

"Yu Yu Yaoming is a bit manic, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with whether there are many or few people. When there were few people, Yu Yu Yaoming also caused trouble."

The man stood beside Yu Yu Yaoming for a while, and the most critical clue appeared.

He slowly raised his left arm—specifically, his left upper arm; the forearm was below the elbow, swinging seemingly powerlessly.

After swinging for a moment, the shackles on Yu Yu Yaoming's hands and feet all disappeared.

The shackles made some noise, and the agent in charge of the interrogation finally looked up, discovering the man beside Yu Yu Yaoming. The man grabbed Yu Yu Yaoming, still moving sideways, and rushed rapidly toward the interrogation room door.

He easily knocked the door open and brought Yu Yu Yaoming into the corridor.

"The critical moment has arrived." Shen Shen Jingye played the second video. This video came from the corridor of the Research Laboratory.

The man brought Yu Yu Yaoming, rushed sideways into the corridor, crashed through the corridor wall, rushed outside the building, stayed in the air outside the building for a moment, and then fell down.

"Note this critical point," Shen Shen Jingye pressed pause. "According to the division of responsibility at the meeting, Yu Yu Yaoming being lost inside the building is the Research Laboratory's responsibility, but Yu Yu Yaoming escaping outside the building is the Dark Star Bureau's responsibility."

"Is this human talk?" Li Li Banfeng raised his hand, wanting to slap Shen Shen Jingye.

Shen Shen Jingye took a step back, maintaining a relatively safe distance from Li Li Banfeng: "I think, logically speaking, this definition of responsibility is not a problem. The Research Laboratory was just established, and the problems outside the building are indeed not on them."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "Is that how logic is used?"

"Finish watching the video first." Shen Shen Jingye played the third video. This was the surveillance footage from the road outside the building, played at one-fifth speed. On the screen, the figures of the man and Yu Yu Yaoming could finally be seen clearly.

The man kept walking sideways, his body almost without any undulation.

His shoulders were always hunched, and his main joints like his knees and elbows gave people a strange sense of disharmony.

Shen Shen Jingye said, "Can you tell? This is a marionette."

Li Li Banfeng nodded and said, "It really looks like one. You mean, the one who abducted Yu Yu Yaoming is a Craft Cultivator."

"This isn't my meaning; this is the analysis from the meeting. They believe that a Craft-Maker created and controlled this marionette, broke into the Research Laboratory, and abducted Yu Yu Yaoming.

But the critical problem is, the Research Laboratory's agents are all Level 7 Dark Energy users. They didn't show the slightest ability to respond in front of this marionette. To what extent do you think this Craft-Maker is powerful?"

"He is powerful to the point that he is simply not a Craft-Maker." Li Li Banfeng turned back to look at Shen Shen Jingye.

Shen Shen Jingye blinked his eyes and said, "I know, there is a difference between a Craft Cultivator and a Craft-Maker. This must be a high-level Craft Cultivator. I just don't want to get hung up on what they are called."

This was the real Shen Shen Jingye, who didn't even want to cover up a single word.

But his deduction was correct. If even a puppet was so powerful, to what extent must this Craft Cultivator be powerful?

"Wanting to snatch Yu Yu Yaoming back from his hands won't be easy."

Shen Shen Jingye nodded and said, "I know it won't be easy. The responsibility for losing Yu Yu Yaoming isn't on us, so even if we can't snatch him back, it won't be our responsibility. It can only be said that we lost an opportunity to perform a meritorious service."

Li Li Banfeng looked at Shen Shen Jingye and asked, "Do you want to perform a meritorious service?"

"I quite want to." Shen Shen Jingye still answered very frankly.

"Didn't you say before that you had become indifferent to promotions?"

"There was no opportunity, so I was certainly indifferent. If I could earn the opportunity back, perhaps I wouldn't be so indifferent."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Little Shen, your straightforward look is very cute!"

Shen Shen Jingye's eyes carried a longing: "Li Ju, then let's both be straightforward. If this matter is to be accomplished,

I need your help. What reward do you want?"

Li Li Banfeng said, "Don't worry about the reward yet. Let's see if there's a chance to get this done. Regardless of how powerful the opponent is, Yu Yu Yaoming has already been lost. Finding him back is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where do you plan to start looking for clues?"

Shen Shen Jingye was also a professional, so he naturally had a train of thought: "Start by looking for the motive. What was the motive for this person to take Yu Yu Yaoming away?

Possibility one: Yu Yu Yaoming established some organization or gang, and this Craft Cultivator is a member of the gang, or was hired by this gang to come and rescue Yu Yu Yaoming.

Possibility two: Yu Yu Yaoming mastered some extremely advanced scientific knowledge, and some organization wanted to utilize his scientific achievements, so they kidnapped him from the Research Laboratory.

The second possibility is more likely. After all, this is a civilized society. No matter how deep the gang members' feelings for Yu Yu Yaoming are, they shouldn't dare to challenge an institution like the Research Laboratory."

"Are you mocking Like Puluozhou?" Li Li Banfeng laughed. "Perhaps so-called civilization is all fabricated."

"I'm not mocking Like Puluozhou; I'm trying to say—wait, you just said civilization is all fabricated? What does that mean?"

Shen Shen Jingye being able to say this sentence completely proved that he was not a member of the Snowflake Pier.

Li Li Banfeng said, "I was just saying it casually; you can treat it as a philosophical question. Go back and contemplate it well.

I think your deduction is correct. The opponent's most likely motive is that they took a fancy to Yu Yu Yaoming's research achievements.

Combined with Yu Yu Yaoming's own situation, he mastered a certain amount of Dark Energy, so the organization that kidnapped Yu Yu Yaoming

should be related to Dark Energy."

Shen Shen Jingye nodded and said, "That's what I think too. The opponent is an organization of Dark Energy users with relatively strong strength."

"Among the organizations we know, how many can afford to hire this level of Craft Cultivator? How many organizations have the guts to challenge the Research Laboratory?"

"Now the scope is much smaller," Shen Shen Jingye thought for a moment. "Based on the information I currently have, within the territory of the Da Huan Kingdom, only the Birch Hidden Cultivation Society can do this."

Li Li Banfeng said, "Follow the Birch Hidden Cultivation Society and investigate downward. It should also include the gang derived from them, the Ferry Gang."

Shen Shen Jingye thought again: "If we follow the Ferry Gang and investigate upward, we can also find another powerful organization:

Snowflake Pier. The Ferry Gang was jointly created by Snowflake Pier and the Birch Hidden Cultivation Society."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "So, none of these three organizations can be let off. Do you have their information?"

Shen Shen Jingye pursed his lips: "You should have seen the information in the Bureau, right?"

2

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "I just said civilization is fabricated; that's what I meant. Those materials didn't have any valuable information to begin with, and quite a bit of the content was fabricated."

Shen Shen Jingye stood up and said, "I'll go get some materials and send them to you in a moment."

Li Li Banfeng said, "Don't be in a hurry. There is one more detail we cannot ignore. Before this, you told me you didn't know the location of the Research Laboratory."

Shen Shen Jingye nodded: "Yes, I didn't know—"

After a moment of silence, Shen Shen Jingye suddenly realized.

I didn't know the location; why would that puppet man know?

There's a mole!

Li Li Banfeng didn't say anything more. Shen Shen Jingye returned to his office, sat behind his desk, and kept repeating Li Li Banfeng's sentence.

"Civilization is fabricated, civilization is fabricated—"

He picked up the desk phone, then put it down again.

He picked up his cell phone and copied down a number.

He took out a special cell phone—a cell phone from the early 1990s, the size of a brick.

This cell phone had undergone special processing and was difficult to wiretap.

He used the cell phone to make a call.

"Old Shen, why are you using this number to call me?"

Shen Shen Jingye said, "I have a matter to trouble you with. Please check Du Du Wenming's resume for me, as well as his recent movements. Focus on his schedule for the last three days."
