Federal Fleet Survey Bureau.

Russell Hill walked around his office like a caged beast, shouting with a terminal in his hand.

"How is this possible? Why are all the people gone? I investigated them not long ago, and they disappeared for no reason. ”

The reply from the other end of the terminal made Russell Hill pause: "What did you say...... Send me the papers. ”

Soon, a curtain of light opened from Ciel's terminal.

"The wounded soldiers of the Abrody were the first to go missing. They left the Abrodius and were admitted to 14 hospitals, and three days later, the hospitals were notified to transfer all the wounded, who disappeared shortly thereafter. ”

"Four days after the disappearance of the wounded, uninjured soldiers began to go missing. Most of them left on their own after receiving a dispatch and never returned. ”

"Hospitals, nursing homes and barracks have been notified that they are not allowed to publicize the incident."

"Some of them were forcibly arrested because their whereabouts were undetermined. Fourteen eyewitnesses have been identified, and at least six arrests have been attributed to men in black, whose identities are unknown. ”

"Hell!" Russell Hill yelled angrily: "Renault must have done it, the question is how did he do it?" ”

"Boss." An investigator pushed the door in: "The information just found, Jonny Renault's data was destroyed by order of the command of the Seventh Fleet. ”

"Seventh Fleet Command? Who gave the order? ”

"General Hannibal."

Russell Hill was taken aback: "You said that Admiral Hannibal, the commander of the Seventh Fleet, personally ordered the destruction of his past records, what is his relationship with the general?" Why? ”

"I don't know, but I found this." The investigator handed over a photograph.

The photo shows a young man with a handsome face in a standard military uniform, who is none other than Jonny Reno.

It's just that compared to the slight vicissitudes of life now, Renault at that time looked younger and more flying, his raised eyebrows and unconcealed laughter showed his pride, and he still held a certificate in his hand.

Russell Hill clicked on the photo, and the photo began to automatically zoom in on the clicked part, and then Russell Hill read aloud:

"Certificate of Honor for the First Place in the 846th Ship Command Simulation Competition...... Awarded by, Alpha Military Academy, Ship Command Department, Awarded by, Hamilton Marshall...... Oh my God, he's a talented student at the Alpha Military Academy! ”

Russell Hill couldn't help himself anymore.

The investigator said in a strange tone, "That would explain why he was able to drive that starship back, he was not only an Alpha Academy student, but he was the best." ”

"Well done." Russell Hill exclaimed, "How did you do it?" ”

The investigator smiled: "I met a hot beauty on the Internet, and after knowing that I was a starship investigator, she said that she had met a boy and would definitely become a starship's epaulette in the future, because he was very good, and she also took a picture of him, and then showed me this." When I saw that it was Jonny Renault, I was amazed. ”

"You're in luck." Russell Hill patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Then he took a few steps back and forth with his hands behind his back, muttering in his mouth: "The soldier is missing, the man in black, General Hannibal...... Hell, what the hell is going on? ”

He turned back to the investigator and said, "Hank, the location where the Seventh Fleet is stationed is in the Central Star Domain, you go and contact the Investigation Bureau of the Central Star and ask their people to assist in the investigation and find out the bottom of Renault." ”

"No need, that beautiful girl of mine can solve the problem, she's in the center star." Investigator Hank replied with a laugh.

Watching his men leave, Russell Hill looked back at the photograph in his hand.

Renault in the photo, smiling brightly and confidently.

"What kind of person are you?" Russell Hill muttered to himself.

Everyone he ever knew showed that this was a kind, intelligent, and passionate boy; But the Renault he saw was vicissitudes, lonely, and mysterious; And the evidence he knows all points to Renault as a murderer with ill intentions.

All this made him feel lost.

There had never been a moment when he had come across such a difficult case.

While he was hesitating, another investigator came in, and it was the female investigator who had beaten Renault.

She looked flustered, and when she entered, she even kicked over the trash can robot next to her, which spun around on the floor for a moment before getting up and starting to clean up again.

Russell Hill looked at her angrily: "You should learn to control your emotions!" ”

The female investigator replied: "Renault's phone." ”

"What?" Russell Hill jumped up and kicked over the robot that had just gotten up.

――――――――――

Jonny Reno's face is visible on the projection wall of the Bureau of Investigation.

He sat on a chair surrounded by snow-white walls, and could not see a trace of his surroundings, even the sound was quiet.

Seeing Russell Hill coming, Renault said, "Hello, Investigator Hill, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”

"It was really unexpected, I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative." Russell Hill stepped forward: "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Nothing, just to tell you, I just booked a ticket to leave Earth at the airport and will be leaving in the near future. Considering that your investigation doesn't seem to be over yet, I reached out to see what else needed to be served. ”

He had a smug smile on his face, as if to say, I killed Jeram and them, but what can you do with us? You can't find proof!

Get off the planet!

Russell Hill was so irritated by the words that he exclaimed, "The Abrody hasn't been repaired yet, and you can't leave." ”

Renault replied, "A new commander has been appointed on the fleet side, and I have been transferred out of this starship, so I can leave." If you don't believe me, you can look it up. ”

Russell Hill turned back, and an investigator hurriedly began to pull up the information.

After a few moments, the investigator said, "We need seven levels of authority to investigate the appointment information, we only have four levels, and we need to find the director to investigate." However, the airport has confirmed that Jonny Renault has indeed booked a ticket at the airport three days later. ”

Three days!

That is, in three more days Renault will be running.

Russell Hill's heart sank.

He couldn't restrain himself anymore and shouted: "Renault, you murderer, I won't let you run away!" ”

"Oh, really?" Renault grinned and replied, "How do you want to prove that I killed Captain Jeram?" Just the little evidence you have? You don't even have a witness. ”

Russell Hill cried out as if he had grasped some straw: "You know those people are gone, how do you know?" ”

"Roar, did you get the handle?" Renaud grinned, "Don't be so nervous, Investigator Hill. Knowing that this kind of thing doesn't necessarily require some conspiracy, don't you go online? Well, goodbye, Mr. Investigator. ”

He waved at Russell Hill and casually closed contact.

"Surfing the Internet?" Hill was stunned, what did that mean.

He looked back and said, "Let's see what's on the internet." ”

All the investigators in his group were busy at the same time.

Soon an investigator made a discovery, and he shouted, "Come and see this." ”

With a wave of his hand, a pillar of light flew to his side and settled, turning into a curtain of light and unfurling.

It was a video with original imaging, which meant it couldn't be faked.

The video was shot in a dark hut with faint lighting. But in the dim light, you could still see what was on the ground.

It was a head.

A woman's head, without a body, lay alone on the floor, without blood, only plastered with lime on the broken part of her neck.

Her eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief, as if to say why you?

"That's Nora Ka, God, she's Renault's men." An investigator shouted as he recognized it.

"And this!"

Another video was sent. This time in a cluster of buildings, a man on fire was stumbling around, he seemed to want to slap the flames on his body, but he couldn't do anything, he ran around, and finally fell headlong, a pair of feet were still twitching, showing that he was not dead, his face was facing the camera.

Stark!

End of video.

"Oh God." Russell Hill groaned, "He killed them...... This bastard is killing people! ”

Just then, the investigator named Hank shouted, "Boss, I've found it." ”

"What?" Russell Hill asked aloud.

Investigator Hank ran over: "Renault's details, I know why his past record was destroyed, look at this!" ”

Another curtain of light spilled over and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

That's a couple of newspapers.

One of them shows a naked woman dying in a jungle, her face terrified. The title above reads "Alpha College Excellent College Alleged Rape and Homicide".

Another newspaper printed a copy of the court's verdict:

"In the year 7250 of the Earth calendar, the Supreme Court of Phoenix City, the Central Star Phoenix, after a unanimous verdict, found the defendant Jonny Reno not guilty of rape and first-degree murder. Robbery/robbery, convicted. The panel of judges unanimously sentenced the defendant Jonny Reynaud to three months' imprisonment. ”

There was also a newspaper notice from the Alpha Military Academy.

"Student Jonny Reno, No. 654880, was expelled from school on robbery/robbery charges."

The last newspaper had a large headline: "Rape and murderer found not guilty, prisoner's girlfriend is the general's granddaughter".

Looking at the newspapers, Russell Hill suddenly understood.

"Oh God!" He groaned, "This bastard is a Sven-looking madman, a butcher, a perverted murderer. I know why Hannibal erased those records, he wanted to protect Jonny Renault, and if the army saw them, it would affect Renault's future. Damn, we must find those missing soldiers, they are in great danger, and I will find those people, no matter how much power there is behind them! ”

The entire Fleet Survey Bureau began to get busy.

Russell Hill is only a team leader, but he has a high level of prestige in the Bureau of Investigation, and is willing to listen to him even if he is not a member of his team, especially when it involves thousands of soldiers.

When an organization is truly at full brim, the power it has is staggering.

Especially this kind of arrest involving thousands of people, it is impossible not to show a little clue.

Soon, information from all directions began to gather to Russell Hill.

"Five days ago, four men in black were found in the Minchak area traveling northwest with a suspected missing soldier of Abrodi......"

"Three days ago, a man in black was found in Bomi City with a suspected missing soldier out of the city from the north......"

"Four days ago, there were several men in black on the train to Hamilton, also with suspected missing soldiers......"

"Two days later, a suspected missing soldier appeared in the Birming district, and his trace was unknown......"

News snowflakes flew in, and soon the light curtain map behind Russell Hill was full of red and blue intertwined lines.

All of these threads were intertwined into a large, intricate pattern, and Russell Hill looked at it with wide eyes, trying to find useful clues.

Until it gets dark.

He didn't know that just outside this building, in a building of 400 meters, someone was also watching him.

With a small bee's eye, Renault had a clear grasp of the situation here, and behind him stood Stark.

Nora and Clarice weren't here.

"How?" Stark asked.

"He's almost there." Renault replied, and the lenses reflected Russell Hill's work.

At this moment, Renault saw a team of flying cars flying at high speed in the distance.

The uniform standard of the vehicle, coupled with the distinctive markings, made Renault's face change dramatically.

Putting down the binoculars, he shouted, "Get out of here!" ”
