The atmosphere in the reception room became tense.
General Ji and Speaker Long's expressions darkened.
Just a moment ago, Huo Shaoheng had said that they could be spared because there were no serious consequences, but now they were being slapped in the face!
They both glared at Prime Minister Dou in unison.
He had lost all the face he had accumulated over several lifetimes!
Huo Shaoheng's expression became serious. He saluted General Ji, Speaker Long, and Prime Minister Dou in the reception room, then said solemnly, "Chiefs, please allow me to take care of the funerals of these two Special Ops members. I will investigate the situation before reporting to the military and the Senate!"
The Special Ops was under the military and reported to the Supreme Military Council and the Senate. He didn't have to report to the Prime Minister.
He was only saying this to save face for Prime Minister Dou.
Prime Minister Dou looked embarrassed.
He hadn't expected to be interrupted by the news of the murder of two Special Ops members before he could say anything.
Prime Minister Dou's expression darkened. He slammed his fist on the coffee table. "We must investigate! Investigate carefully! We must prevent our own people from attacking our own people. You know … "
Huo Shaoheng interrupted Prime Minister Dou unhappily. "Prime Minister Dou, the Special Ops only deals with external forces, not internal forces. We will never attack our own people. Please take a seat. I'll be taking my leave. "
He turned and left without any hesitation.
When General Ji and Speaker Long saw this, they both stood up and said, "Since something has happened, we have to go back and prepare. Prime Minister Dou, we'll be leaving first. "
They nodded slightly at Prime Minister Dou and walked out together.
Prime Minister Dou narrowed his eyes. Looking at their backs, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He remembered that when he called the two of them yesterday, although they were put in a difficult position, they still agreed to help him plead for mercy in the end. Now that something had happened, they had thrown in the towel. No wonder one could only be the chairman, and the other could only lead the military. If they were to run for office, no one would be able to defeat him …
…
The Special Ops had a special department in charge of dealing with the murder of their members.
Before Huo Shaoheng arrived at the Imperial Capital airport, they had already cordoned off the entire airport and brought everyone on that flight to a special reception room to be interrogated.
Huo Shaoheng's private car arrived at the Imperial Capital Airport half an hour later.
He wore a black officer's uniform, a military cap, and a pair of sunglasses that covered half of his face, revealing a nose that was as straight as a Greek sculpture and perfectly shaped but tightly pursed lips.
As he strode through the VIP passageway of the airport, there weren't any bystanders following him. However, the airport staff, who were used to seeing celebrities from all over the world, were stunned when they saw Huo Shaoheng. They instantly turned into little fans and chased after Huo Shaoheng to get an autograph and take a photo with him.
Only Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong were with him, as well as four or five orderlies. They were all in plain clothes, not in military uniforms.
Their faces were fierce, and they kept yelling at the airport ground crew that surrounded them. "Where's your leader? This kind of quality is a disgrace to our country! "
After yelling a few times, he finally managed to drive away these unreasonable groupies.
…
"Mr. Huo!"
Huo Shaoheng walked into the special reception room of the airport. He raised his hand and asked the Special Operations Forces member who saluted him by the door, "Where is he?"
"He's still on the plane." The Special Operations Forces officer in charge of handling this matter reported to Huo Shaoheng in detail. "He's over there. Does Mr. Huo want to take a look for himself?"
"What about the other people on the plane?"
"They had already come down, but they were delayed for a while when going through customs. In just a short while, the flight attendants on the plane discovered that the two men were sitting at the front and the back of the cabin, motionless, as if they were sleeping. When they pushed them, they found that they were already stiff … "
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand and gently stroked his chin. He turned to Yin Shixiong and said, "Go over there and question the people on the plane, especially the passengers sitting near the two people. Little Ze, come with me to the plane to take a look. "
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong responded, "Yes, Sir," and went their separate ways.
Zhao Liangze followed Huo Shaoheng onto the plane.
"Airbus-A380, the world's largest commercial airliner. It can seat up to 853 people, fly at speeds from 559 mph to 634 mph, and has a maximum range of 8,500 nautical miles, or 15700 kilometers." Zhao Liangze walked behind Huo Shaoheng and began to introduce the background data of the plane. "It cost 400 million US dollars." After a pause, he added, "In terms of functions, performance, and size, it's almost the same as Professor He's private jet."
Huo Shaoheng silently walked into the plane's cabin door and passed by the first-class cabin first.
The flight attendants hadn't had time to clean up before they discovered the murder, so everything here was still the same as when the plane had just stopped.
The first-class seats were scattered with blankets, magazines, and headphones hanging on the back of the seat in front of them. A lone slipper was lying on the aisle, and the other slipper was nowhere to be seen.
Huo Shaoheng's expression didn't change as he passed through the first-class cabin and arrived at the business class cabin.
There were fewer things here than in the first-class cabin, but because the space was narrower, it looked much more messy than the first-class cabin.
After the business class cabin was the economy class cabin.
The two Special Operations Forces members had flown economy class back to the country.
In order to avoid attracting attention, they had specially bought economy class seats and didn't sit together. In the end, they were still discovered.
Huo Shaoheng stood at the entrance of the economy class cabin and looked at the empty cabin. Only two people were still sitting in their seats. They had their heads raised and leaned against the back of the seat behind them. They still had headphones on, and their eyes were closed as if they were already asleep. The skin on their faces was naturally rosy, and it was impossible to tell that they had passed away.
Zhao Liangze looked at the scene from behind Huo Shaoheng, and his throat suddenly choked.
He hurriedly raised his head and blinked his reddened eyes to stop the tears from falling.
"Did you take photos?" Huo Shaoheng asked calmly. "Have you investigated the scene?"
The person behind Zhao Liangze was the person in charge of the Special Operations Forces. He quickly replied, "We've investigated everything, and the photos have been taken. We originally wanted to send them away, but we heard that Mr. Huo was coming, so we waited. "
Huo Shaoheng stood there and took off his hat. He lowered his head and mourned for the two members.
He involuntarily clenched his fists tightly and closed his eyes. Then he put on his hat and ordered, "Take them away and send them back in a military vehicle. The coffins must be covered with the national flag."
They couldn't publicly commemorate the two Special Operations Forces members who had sacrificed their lives for the country, so they could only use this etiquette to show their respect.
Huo Shaoheng received a call from Yin Shixiong as soon as he got off the plane.
"Mr. Huo, the two people who killed them have been found …" Yin Shixiong's voice was not happy at all. It was very low.
"What's wrong? Are they also dead? "Huo Shaoheng asked calmly.
"Yes." Yin Shixiong was about to cry. "I didn't prepare in advance. As soon as I interrogated them, they committed suicide by poison. It looks like it's the same type of poison they used on our people. "
It could take a person's life in an instant, but it could keep the body intact for 10 hours.
"It's okay. It's good that they're dead, so we don't have to do anything. " Huo Shaoheng put one hand in his trouser pocket and walked out of the airport. "Bring the bodies back to the Special Operations Forces. Detain the other people on the plane for 48 hours. Continue the investigation. Pay special attention to who comes to plead for mercy. Record all of them."
Although the Special Operations Forces didn't attack their own people, they wouldn't let it go if their own people tried to harm the Special Operations Forces.
When they walked out of the airport exit, the sky was already gloomy. Layers of gray clouds floated in the sky, blocking the sunlight.
Zhao Liangze stood silently behind Huo Shaoheng and was on high alert for the situation around them.
Huo Shaoheng folded his hands behind his back and looked at the vast land in front of him. The trees in the distance had all lost their leaves. Only the branches were pointing towards the sky. The gloomy weather was foggy, so the scenery in front of him didn't seem real.
"… Mr. Huo? Are you okay? " Bai Yueran had just gotten out of the car when she looked up to see Huo Shaoheng. "Has the situation been resolved? Where are our colleagues? "
"They were just picked up," Huo Shaoheng said calmly. "Big Xiong might need help from the legal department. Go take a look."
"Yes, sir!" Bai Yueran hurriedly saluted, then sighed and said, "When the photos were released, we didn't think much of it. We thought it was just a love dispute … Haha … I didn't expect our colleagues' lives to be used as a sacrifice for Miss Dou's unrequited love."
Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes. "Director Bai, save these words for the court."
