Hearing Xia Fan's words, Qin Yuwei became furious. Her face turned red as she waved her arms and shouted hoarsely, "I deserve to die, but do you know what the military did?!
They used a civilian ship to transport the most vicious biochemical weapons that are clearly prohibited by the laws of the universe!
During the transport process, there was a problem with the power system of the Ariane passenger ship, causing the cooling system to malfunction. The cryogenic sealed box that contained the biochemical weapon was in a state where it could leak at any time!
There was no such thing as a terrorist organization at all. There were only soldiers who went against their conscience!
The so-called 12-man rescue team was not there to rescue the hostages, but to deal with the dangerous biochemical weapon!
When we boarded the ship, we found that there were signs of a slight leak in the sealed box. So, they used a fusion bomb to destroy the spaceship, everyone on board, and that damned biochemical weapon! "
As she said this, Qin Yuwei's eyes were red, her body trembled violently, and her face became ferocious.
She seemed to recall that afternoon that made her feel hopeless. The lieutenant general that she trusted had fired a nuclear bomb at her.
Xia Fan licked his lips. He had long guessed that the military must be hiding something. However, when Qin Yuwei told him the truth, Xia Fan was still greatly shocked.
The Ariane was a long-distance passenger spaceship. The passengers on board were all visiting relatives or on vacation. They probably did not know what had happened even at the moment of their death. The children were still playing in the cabin when the disaster suddenly struck.
Qin Yuwei twitched as tears flowed uncontrollably. Her voice trembled as she said, "My boyfriend, Yue Ming, was very smart. When he detected that there was a slight leak in the biochemical weapon, he immediately realized that the military was about to take action. He lied to me and said that he had to carry out an urgent mission. He placed me and a single escape pod in the reactor's protective shell and set up an external activation.
When the nuclear bomb started to attack the spaceship, he pressed the hyperdrive button … "
As Qin Yuwei described, the soul-stirring scene from six years ago formed a picture in Xia Fan's mind.
The spaceship's reactor had three layers of protective shells. The third layer was more spacious, and the equipment maintenance personnel would often enter it to carry out repairs and maintenance. It would not be a problem for it to accommodate the next escape pod.
This way, when the nuclear bomb was detonated, it would initiate a rapid warp, and the warp signal would be covered by the strong electromagnetic disturbance produced by the detonation of the nuclear bomb. The military radar would not be able to detect that someone had taken the opportunity to escape from the spacecraft.
As for Qin Yuwei's boyfriend, Yue Ming, he was the leader of the action team. Perhaps he knew that Qin Yuwei was pregnant, so he staked everything on one throw. Qin Yuwei's story was logical and reasonable.
"Do you have proof?" Xia Fan asked.
Qin Yuwei nodded and took out a memory chip from her waist. "There's a camera on my biohazard protective suit. The entire process of landing on the Ariane has been recorded and stored in this data chip. Unfortunately, I have no way of releasing this evidence to the public. This is because such obvious military information cannot possibly pass the review process."
Xia Fan walked over and reached out to take the chip.
Just as Xia Fan stretched out his hand, Qin Yuwei's left eye suddenly rotated, switching the positions of the two pupils!
She still wanted to escape, so she used Mind Invasion on Xia Fan!
But Qin Yuwei did not expect Xia Fan to smile at her. Although his arm obviously stopped moving, he did not seem to be affected by the Mind Invasion. He continued to take the chip.
What was even more strange was that Jiang Xia did not put the chip away. Instead, he held it in his right hand for a moment before returning it to Qin Yuwei.
When Qin Yuwei caught the chip, Jiang Xia flipped his wrist lightly.
* Click! *
Like a magic trick, an electromagnetic shackle was cuffed on Qin Yuwei's wrist. The electromagnetic shackle exploded with a blue light, and the blue light bound Qin Yuwei's hands tightly.
"Wh … Why?" Qin Yuwei's eyes widened as if she had received a huge shock.
Xia Fan smiled. "Dancer and his wife are very good at stealing. They once taught me some very ingenious tricks. The handcuffs were actually hidden in my sleeves. When our hands touched, I swung them lightly and they landed on your wrist."
"I don't mean that." Qin Yuwei swallowed.
Xia Fan thought for a moment. "Oh, so you are talking about Mind Invasion."
After saying that, Xia Fan slowly pulled out his left hand from his shirt pocket. His left hand was holding a metal ball. There were hundreds of silver needles on the ball. The silver needles pierced into Xia Fan's palm, and there was still warm blood on them.
"I will not fall at the same place twice," Xia Fan said calmly.
Qin Yuwei had completely given up resisting. A man who was willing to cut his own left hand in order to prevent his mind from being invaded had to be a calm and determined person. Such an existence was not something she could deal with. Moreover, Qin Yuwei had already learned from the information that Xia Fan's superpower was speed, which was the most lethal.
His finger gently touched the space ring, and Xia Fan took out the eye mask that he had prepared earlier and put it on Qin Yuwei's eyes.
.....
* Sigh *
Sitting in his office, Jerry's father was at his wit's end. There were deep wrinkles on his forehead.
The sky was already bright, but the murderer who killed Lieutenant General Zhang Qichao had still not been found. Despite the tight security and the mobilization of a large number of military police, they still could not save the general's life. To Jerry's father, this was no different from a slap in the face. He was thinking about how to explain this to the headquarters.
Suddenly, just as Papa Lin was feeling distressed and at a loss for what to do, Chen Chen suddenly burst into Papa Lin's office without knocking on the door.
"Got, got it!" Chen Chen swallowed and said with his eyes wide open.
"Caught what?"
"The murderer, Qin Yuwei has been caught!"
* Shing ~ *
Although Jerry's father was fat, his body was strong. He jumped up from his chair and asked anxiously, "Who caught her? How!? "
"It's Xia Fan. He's outside now."
Jerry's father hurried out of the office. Everyone in the room outside stood up and looked at Xia Fan in disbelief. Xia Fan was handing the suspect Qin Yuwei over to Dunn.
When he saw Jerry's father, Xia Fan nodded at him and smiled.
All of a sudden, Jerry's heart was filled with mixed feelings. The heavy stone that had been weighing down on him finally fell to the ground. At the same time, Jerry's father felt indebted to the miraculous young man, Xia Fan. It was all thanks to him that the Britannia branch did not embarrass themselves so badly.
Xia Fan seemed to have forgotten about the argument he had with Jerry's father this morning. After explaining in detail the process of catching Qin Yuwei, Jerry's father sent Chen Chen and Dunn to immediately interrogate Qin Yuwei.
Qin Yuwei confessed everything about her crime. It was not even noon when the Special Task Force announced that the case had been closed. The case file, along with Qin Yuwei herself, was quickly sent to the special prison in the Sector that specialized in detaining superpower criminals.
In the Nebula Alliance, the trial and punishment of all superpower criminals were classified as the Alliance's secret and would not be made public.
Xia Fan did not know what kind of punishment Qin Yuwei would receive after she was sent to prison. It was likely that the rumors would be true, that Qin Yuwei would be assigned to a special force made up of criminals and sent to carry out some unspeakable tasks.
The investigators that were temporarily recruited from the other four planets began to return. Xia Fan also returned to his home. He walked into his study and closed the door. From his spatial ring, he secretly took out a small silver disc.
This small disc could be hidden in a glove. It was a contact-type automatic data collection and cracking system. It was given to Xia Fan by the machinist on the Graveyard of Gods.
Under the guise of making a phone call, he could grab someone's communication terminal in his hand. With a gentle grip, the copier would immediately start working, cracking the encryption and copying all the information on the terminal. Without realizing it, he would be able to get someone else's information into his own hands.
The scourges under the dome all had their own tricks up their sleeves. The machinist was no exception. He taught Xia Fan all the little tricks he had for committing crimes without reservation.
The copier was connected to the computer. Xia Fan tapped his fingers on the table a few times.
He recalled what Qin Yuwei had said. "There's a camera on my biohazard protective suit. The entire process of landing on the Ariane has been recorded and stored in this data chip. Unfortunately, I have no way of releasing this evidence to the public. This is because such obvious military information can't possibly pass the audit process."
"The Alliance's information audit system …" Xia Fan muttered to himself while thinking.
.....
Two weeks later.
The orphanage was built by the sea. Standing on a bridge along the coastal road, one could see the orphanage's yard.
Qin Zimo stood on the bridge. His face was as cold as usual. He looked at the field where many children were playing.
Among the children playing hide-and-seek, there was a little girl about five or six years old. She had the same rare red hair as Qin Yuwei.
Xia Fan smiled and stood beside Qin Zimo. He lowered his voice and said, "You seem to be in a good mood today."
"Aren't you the same?" Qin Zimo replied.
Xia Fan shook his head. "How can it be the same? You let your mother go and often come to see your daughter. Under your cold face, there's actually a warm heart. I, on the other hand, am the bad guy who sent Qin Yuwei to prison and made Qin Yue an orphan."
Qin Zimo raised his head and looked at Xia Fan. He did not deny that he had let Qin Yuwei go on the day Zhang Qichao was killed. He also did not ask Xia Fan how he knew about these things. Anyway, with Xia Fan's ability, as long as he wanted to know, there would be a way.
Qin Zimo turned his head and sighed. "The Ariane tragedy has caused big trouble again. I don't know which busybody revealed the truth. For the past two days, all the major news organizations in the Alliance have been reporting on this matter."
"Speaking of which, the guy who revealed the truth is really something. He actually bypassed the firewall and sent the evidence to the news organization of our enemy, the Sacred Alliance. The Sacred Alliance has never been on good terms with us. Now that they've got the evidence, they've launched a public opinion campaign, causing the higher-ups of the Alliance to be in a terrible situation."
"Although the news agency has issued a gag order, and reports on the Ariane tragedy are not allowed to continue appearing in the newspapers, I'm guessing that many unlucky people will be implicated. Losing their positions is a small matter, and they might even be sent to the military court."
Xia Fan shrugged. "I don't think those people are pitiful. They deserve it."
After hearing what Xia Fan said, a rare smile appeared on Qin Zimo's cold face. "You're very good, better than all the investigators I've met. It's a waste of your talent to continue staying in this small Brittany branch. I heard from my father that he has already sent a recommendation letter to the headquarters. It won't be long before you leave here and report to the Blue Boiling Point."
The Blue Boiling Point was the exclusive training camp of the Special Task Force. Every official investigator had studied and trained there before receiving their badge. It was a place where the strongest young geniuses of the entire Nebula Alliance gathered.
Xia Fan smiled and said, "The Blue Boiling Point? I've heard Chu Yan talk about that place. It's said to be quite challenging. I'm quite looking forward to it. Are you saying this because you can't bear to see me go?"
Pfft ~
Qin Zimo waved his hand. "Don't say that. I've realized that you have a tendency to get into trouble. Brittany has always been a very peaceful little planet. I've been here for almost 20 years, and there's only one major case every 14 months on average."
"But in the short three and a half months since you arrived, there have been three major cases: Luo Teng's case, Qin Yuwei's case, and Liao Kai's case. Good lord, there's an average of one major case every month. Who can take that?"
Liao Kai's case had just been closed the day before. He was an acquired superpower user. Originally, Liao Kai was just an ordinary gangster on the street. He was already 30 years old, but he had achieved nothing. One day, he suddenly discovered that he had a magical fire superpower.
Therefore, Liao Kai used his superpower to think of robbing a bank. Unfortunately for him, he had the guts to rob the Alliance Reserve Bank. Thus, Liao Kai caused quite a commotion on Planet Bregnia. Finally, with the help of Xia Fan's special sense of smell and Beast Manipulation, he was finally able to arrest the lucky hooligan.
What Qin Zimo said seemed to make sense. Ever since Xia Fan joined the Special Task Force, he had encountered a lot of major cases.
However, Xia Fan would never admit that he had a tendency to get into trouble. He did not think that such a strange trait existed in the world. How could there be someone who did nothing but get into trouble all the time?
