The attack on the headquarters was suppressed by the federal government. After all, the situation was too bad. After all, such an incident broke out at the critical moment of the peace talks between the Qin Empire and the federation. No one, whether it was the president, the headquarters, the military, or even the FBI director and the governor, could bear this responsibility.

They were well aware of the consequences of this matter. During the conversation with the emperor of the Qin Empire, the Federation was under unparalleled pressure. If things went wrong, the war would be restarted, and the Federation would no longer have the strength to resist the victorious Qin Empire's fierce and vigorous army.

Although the news was blocked, there were still many people who witnessed the assassination, and countless people witnessed the crazy behavior of these mechas...

These people could not erase their memories, and the FBI had to expend enormous manpower and resources to interview all the witnesses at the time. Even some less obedient media were forcefully intervened by the FBI.

The trial began that evening, but it yielded no results. All the soldiers and officers of the 26th Regiment who had returned from the front and sacrificed their youth and blood for the Federation were subjected to a serious investigation.

Their eyes were filled with anger and disdain. Some of the hot-tempered ones even thought they were insulted and started to curse.

........

Zhao Yuanlang led his military police directly into the FBI's case reconstruction center. After obtaining permission, Zhao Yuanlang entered and began to carefully think about the information that had been missed.

Zhao Yuanlang began to ponder and recalled some situations. He said to himself, "They were obviously too excited at the time. After I destroyed the cockpit of one of the three mechas, the other two mechas obviously wanted to rush up to seek revenge, but they suppressed themselves and turned around and ran away. So someone passed the information to them, and they were not far from the crime scene at the time. They even arranged for the organization to kill them alive."

"Do you have any information about the killer who fired the last shot?" Zhao Yuanlang turned around and asked a major from the detachment who had followed him.

The major of the detachment was embarrassed and shook his head: "We didn't find any information about him. We only found the destroyed weapons at the scene. After investigation, we found that there was only one person there."

"Is that so? Then let's go back to the scene of the crime. Send someone to search the surrounding tall buildings! There must have been someone there watching the fight."

"Yes!"

.........

After a day of searching, they finally found a new clue. They found Major General Pompey, who had lost his life and lay on the table. Under his body was a confession letter with a corner of it exposed.

Zhao Yuanlang pinched his nose and looked carefully at the situation around him. After all, the corpse had been there for four days and had begun to rot to some extent, emitting a foul odor.

"We've found out that he committed suicide by taking poison. We found a large amount of poison in the red wine, enough to kill an elephant." A forensic doctor handed the report to Zhao Yuanlang.

"Sir, this is a confession. It looks like this case can be closed." The major of the detachment happily handed the confession packed in an evidence bag to Zhao Yuanlang.

Something is wrong. Something is wrong. It cannot be like this. How could a major general be so courageous? He must have accomplices, otherwise they would not have been able to transport the five mechas there. This confession only explained how he made the five mechas leave the barracks, but did not say how they were transported here.

Zhao Yuanlang shook his head at the major of the detachment, then looked at Major General Pompey who was pointing at a seat in front of the desk.

There was another person who was also here at the time. Zhao Yuanlang could observe that the two seats at the table were obviously new, but the seat pointed out by Major General Pompey had signs of being sat in. The number of wine glasses was also wrong. Sure enough, someone took a wine glass away.

Zhao Yuanlang waved his hand, and the major of the detachment ran over in confusion.

"Go, pack up these wine glasses as well. I want to know clearly where these wine glasses came from and how many there are."

"If you like it, just take it away. We will pretend not to see it." The major of the detachment said quietly.

"Idiot, if you see anyone with an odd number of wine glasses, there must be another person, and he took a glass away!"

The major of the detachment blushed and nodded, then hurriedly took action.

........

Soon, the case made rapid progress. After investigation, it was found that the wine glasses were quite high-end treasure wine glasses. These wine glasses were always sold in sets, with six wine glasses in each set. Most of the buyers were dignitaries. After all, ordinary people would not spend 36,000 to buy six wine glasses.

With further investigation, the police found a wine glass being auctioned online. After verification by the manufacturer, it was confirmed that the wine glass was the one that was lost at the crime scene.

Following the clues, the police found the auctioneer, a 23-year-old man. After investigation, they found that he had stolen the items from his brother-in-law's house and put them up for sale online.

As the incident became clearer, the police immediately arrested his brother-in-law. Coincidentally, his brother-in-law was a secretary in the military's confidential department. He liked to wear white suits and was known as "the man in white."

When the SWAT team, the FBI and the military police took him away, it caused a huge reaction in the military.

Soon, news came that 49 officers and soldiers of the 26th Corps had committed suicide. Without exception, they had died by hitting their heads against the wall.

The style of the military headquarters building is extremely solemn. The entire building is square and its nine floors make it look like an urn. Someone once jokingly called the military headquarters "the enemy's urn."

No one expected that such a thing would happen in the military. This was an extremely serious crime of treason. Everyone in the military from top to bottom was trembling, especially those who had a good relationship with the "White Clothes", all of whom had been taken away by the guerrilla troops.

Soon, at the end of the evening, the police took away an office director, which caused an uproar. After all, this office director had always been a direct subordinate of the deputy minister.

Soon, Deputy Minister of the Army Zhang Jincao, who was on vacation, also returned to the headquarters. He stood in the hall with a cane, looking at the huge lion head hanging in the hall, and fell into silence.

Soon, a group of soldiers from the troop rushed in. They surrounded the deputy minister of the military department. Umekawa Tomoyasu and Zhao Yuanlang strode in. Umekawa Tomoyasu narrowed his eyes and said, "Deputy Minister Zhang, I didn't expect this."

"I didn't expect that the law and the collective will of the Federation have become toys in the hands of certain people, who sell out the casualties of our army in exchange for the stability of their own position. Where should the army go? Tell me! The millions of troops in the First Theater! More than half of them died because of political struggles, and the heroes who remained on the planet have become wandering ghosts!"

Deputy Minister Zhang's harsh words pierced everyone's heart, and several people lowered their heads in shame.

"Deputy Minister Zhang, please be careful with your words!" Umekawa Tomoyasu hurriedly stopped him, because he knew very well that the First War Zone had been defeated by their own people.

"Maybe history thinks I'm wrong, maybe the law thinks I'm wrong, but I don't regret it! Long live the Federation!"

Deputy Minister Zhang began to tremble all over, then vomited blood and fell to the ground.

"There's no hope." After a careful examination, Zhao Yuanlang found that the poison was too strong and shook his head.

“This may be the best outcome.”
