The water that was not boiled maintained at a stubborn height in the cup, because there was no Hazhou Chuan who refused to fall, but there were many more cigarette butts in the ashtray, and the scorched and twisted and awkwardly built into a strange mess of grass, and in the smoke-filled room, the two of them silently read the existing relevant materials carefully, and then raised their heads almost at the same time.

This kind of scene is not new to Xu Le and Shi Qinghai, when they faced the Medellin congressman who kidnapped countless federal citizens with the banner of morality a few years ago. One of them stayed in the bizarre society of the world, watching coldly like a stone, preparing to smash the past, and the other hid his figure in the darkness and followed the clues of the past to pursue indifferently, rarely contacted, did not cooperate, but ushered in the day of the final general attack with great tacit understanding.

Today's scene is like the reincarnation preached by a certain religion in Bermuda, or maybe it's just some kind of simple repetition, because for people like Xu Le and Shi Qinghai, their personalities determine the choice, so when the entire federation is about to forget the assassination plots and the ancient bells that have turned into fireworks, they are still looking for the truth and asking for answers.

"Linhai Prefecture Gymnasium, the source of the assassination department of the Second Military Region, Yang Jinsong committed suicide, and many people died in the Second Military Region. There is another line. ”

Shi Qinghai pursed his thin lips and took a deep breath, the cigarette suddenly burst into flames, and his eyes narrowed from the stinging of the smoke, and he could faintly see the bloodshot from exhaustion in those peach blossom eyes.

"I told you about it, the man who came out of that line was an active officer, at least a major, with brown-red hair, and the force he represented was a member of parliament. ”

"After the government terminated the investigation into the assassination of the little princess of the Zhong family in Mugu Manor, I went to the FBI and found some relevant materials. The powerful gunman you stopped had nothing to do with the Second Military Region. I'm looking up this friend surnamed Chen right now. was not expelled from the military academy, and before carrying out a secret mission of the government, who was in close contact with him. ”

"The most important attack on the Ancient Bell, I have been secretly investigating during your more than a year in the Empire, and now it can be confirmed that the Imperial Seed who died outside the military prison is indeed an Imperial, but he has no chance to access this level of military secrets, let alone guide the Imperial fleet to find the glorious shadow in that space. ”

"There's one. Things are very strange, the wreckage of the Ancient Bell was not allowed to float in the universe and become a monument to the warriors, as is customary, but dragged back to the surface for the reason of in-depth investigation, and the problem is that the relevant departments did not drag it back to Xilin, but, ,, dragged back to the 23rd Research Institute, and then it was quickly returned. ”

Shi Qinghai took off the cigarette roll, licked his somewhat bitter lips, and extinguished the cigarette roll vigorously. Said with a smile: "But before returning to the furnace, I found a chance to take a look and found that the escape system of the Ancient Bell had been tampered with beforehand. ”

This also means that even if Commander Zhong did not choose to die in battle, but chose to flee, there was no hope of survival. ”

As the best intelligence officer of the ** army of Qinglong Mountain over the years, Xu Le will not doubt Shi Gongzi's judgment, a guy who is qualified to enter the Trinity Association, plus that place is he who has done even more unbelievable things. It's not going to be shocking. "I don't have too many people on my list. But I suspect they're all involved. Xu Le gently bit the cigarette roll with his front teeth, leaned back on the soft sofa, felt a little tired, and continued: "The source of the assassination department, assassinate the little watermelon. If, as you speculated, the assassination of Commander Zhong was a series of acts, then "how long have these people been preparing?"

The bloody battle at the Linhai Prefecture Gymnasium that Xu Le remembered for the rest of his life was suddenly a few years ago, when he thought that with the suicide of Vice Minister Yang Jinsong, more than a dozen officers of the Second Military Region had been arrested, and the militants in the military had been purged. But what happened later shows that that power has been hidden deeper than people think, and it has been prepared for a longer time.

As for what kind of nose-fearing strength those people have, Xu Le did not express any emotion or doubt. No matter how strong or weak the enemy is, as long as it is the enemy, then it is necessary to fight.

"I checked the list of all the members of the Federal Council at that time, sorted them through according to the appropriate conditions, and added information from my channels. There is a list, and in this list, there are not many people who have the ability to influence the military. ”

Shi Qinghai pointed to the first name on Xu Le's list and said: "Vice President Byron, undoubtedly the most suspicious one, was the chief member of the military budget of the Federal Management Council before he partnered with Pabur, in an earlier year. He served as Chief of Staff of the Third Military District of the Federation, Major General. ”

"There are very few military generals who have taken off their uniforms and entered politics and have been successful, but Mr. Vice President has done it.

"The Third Military Region?" Xu Le thought of the famous general of the Federation who was born in the Third Military Region, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning deeply, and after a moment of silence, he lit a cigarette and said in a low voice: "I haven't heard of any private dealings between the division commander and the vice president. And there was a time difference, Byron was the chief of staff

"Don't care so much, let's set the final list first, and then adjust the direction Shi Qinghai rubbed up his black hair, but he didn't know how to expose a few gray hairs on the back of his head, and said in a deep voice: "Vice President Byron, Assistant Director of the Charter Bureau Cui Judong, heads of relevant departments of the Military Research Institute, former deputy speaker who has died of illness, the Second Military Region All Machinery Group Army, Du Shaoqing and his Iron Seventh Division"

Hearing this, Xu Le raised his right and said: "I have no evidence to support my suspicion of Du Shaoqing for the time being, although he and the tiger have always been hostile, I always thought that this person could not do anything to shoot at the back of others."

"Do you have evidence for the other people on the list?" Shi Qinghai stared into his eyes and said: "If you have evidence now that the Vice President of the Federation is suspected of murdering the commander-in-chief of the front, then you will not sit here, but go to the president's residence." ”

"I don't have any evidence of judicial significance for the names on this list, but there is evidence that leads me to believe that they were involved in this matter. ”

This sentence is a bit awkward, because it involves the traceability of the database of the federal central computer, and Xu Le can't explain it too clearly.

"Okay. ”

Shi Qinghai spread his hands and said, "I have no evidence for Du Shaoqing and his Iron Seventh Division. But I have, intuition

"This. The issue will not be discussed for the time being. Xu Le's expression was a little worried, and he asked, "You have been investigating for so long, have you found that those big families are involved in this matter?"

"I don't know if it's good luck or misfortune. There is no shadow of this now. Shi Qinghai said calmly: "But this is very understandable. For the sake of profit, the Seven Families can cooperate with any force. I even doubt that in the future they will be able to use the Emperor as a reliable trade, but they will never cooperate with the radicals in the army. He looked at Xu Le and said softly: "When the politicians who hold the executive power of the federal government have the allegiance of the radical wing of the military, or even more terrifying. When the military radicals took control of the federation. It is the situation that everyone is most afraid to see. Because it will shake the foundation of the survival of these families

"It can completely destroy the intertwined interests that these families have spent thousands of years weaving, and those seemingly unshakable cornerstones. There is only violence, absolute violence, out-of-control violence

"Then from this point of view, you Qinglong Mountain should appreciate these radicals?" Xu Le said sarcastically.

"Different roads lead to the same destination, but because of the different road choices, maybe when people go to that destination, it is not the same season, and the color of the flowers on the mountainside is very different

"You're a spy, not a poet. ”

"At such an exciting and exciting turning point in history, with the blood of violence and the despicable conspiracy. It's easy to stir up poetry in everyone

Xu Le ignored him, looked at the list in a daze, counted those prominent names from top to bottom, and thought about the forces represented by these names, suddenly felt a little cold in his body, and subconsciously whispered:

"The Federation, from top to level, is about to rot. ”

"The federal government has long since rotted from top to bottom. ”

Shi Qinghai looked at him mockingly, a cigarette between his fingers. "This is what Qinglongshan has been trying to tell people. But there is nothing that no one wants to believe. ”

Xu Le was silent, and suddenly looked at him very seriously and said, "This time is different from the Medellin incident, this is an internal problem of the federal government. It doesn't have much to do with you. I know that your current situation is not good, and the Qinglong Mountain Committee seems to have forgotten about you as a liaison officer at all, and has not given you any support, so don't risk any further investigation. ”

"A good intelligence officer should and can only get used to working alone. Shi Qinghai didn't know what he thought, his expression became a little frustrated, and he whispered: "This is what that guy said" I heard that he is about to die of illness, I will go back in a few days, if you have time. Come with me. ”

Hao Xu Le replied quickly. Then he didn't forget what he was most worried about, continued to stare into his eyes, and said with a solemn expression: "Although I am not a professional, it is more appropriate and safer for me to investigate this matter, you must promise me not to care about this matter anymore."

Shi Qinghai was silent for a moment and smiled. There was a hint of weirdness in the smile.

He stared at Xu Le's eyes, and asked with the same seriousness: "I really always thought that no one was more professional than me, but it took me more than a year to find out these things, and I was extremely surprised that you had come up with such a list a few days after you fled back from the empire." ”

"Unless you're a candidate for director of the Charter Bureau. Otherwise, it's really hard to explain all this

Xu Le was silent, not knowing what to say. Just then, his phone rang. No numbers are shown on the light curtain.

On the other end of the phone, Director Brin's voice was not emotional.

"Colonel Xu Le, Mr. President wants to see the details"

(Be calm, don't be a pain" self-encouragement.) (To be continued)
