After being captured by the old enemy

The suspension car took off steadily, and quickly left Ankara University behind.

Ji Xingjue was handcuffed, and the old god sat on the ground among several investigators who were staring at him, and said slowly: "Your Highness, I am just a powerless intellectual, so you don't have to be so nervous."

Deen sat in front of him with his hands folded, and laughed at the sound: "You are coaxing ghosts."

Ji Xingjue smiled, and complimented sincerely: "Your Highness, the disputes and fights when you were teenagers are nothing. You can definitely defeat me with one hand now, so don't worry about the past."

As soon as the words fell, the investigators sitting around smelled the meaning behind the words, and their eyes drifted over, their eyes were full of shock: Your Highness, you actually lost to Guo Xingjue?

Damel, who forcibly followed the car, quickly echoed: "Yes, Your Highness, you see that our wife is very weak, so let's take off the handcuffs."

The security department's handcuffs are not the same as those of the police. They are big and heavy, and covered with micro-currents. If Ji Xingjue tries to resist, he will be knocked down by the electric shock.

His hands were slender and fair, and Damel was full of worry, fearing that the delicate Marshal's wife's hands would be broken.

"Major, don't worry, these handcuffs won't break your wife's hand."

Deen glanced at his subordinates, and a group of people hurriedly looked back, he glanced at Ji Xingjue, and was not annoyed by these words: "Professor Ji, if you have time to play tricks, why don't you think about how to defend yourself. "

The suspension vehicle slowly stopped outside the building of the Ministry of Security. Ji Xingjue followed the investigators into the building and looked around with great interest.

The Ministry of Security of the Empire is responsible for eradicating hidden dangers within the empire. It is a place where most people are frightened. Basically, after entering here, it is difficult to go out. As long as there is a little suspicion, the Ministry of Security can deal with it at will.

Although De En is narrow-minded in holding grudges, he will not take this kind of thing as a personal revenge.

But Ji Xingjue is no stranger to this place.

11 years ago, Qi Qing's father, Duke Qi Bai, was assassinated, and none of his [-] guards survived. The only survivor, Ji Xingjue, was taken away by the Ministry of Security to torture him as soon as he returned to the imperial capital, and spent a whole week in prison. , was taken back by Mrs. Yu Tong who forcibly broke into the security department.

To this day, Ji Xingjue still remembers the moment when Yu Tong pushed open the cell door, Qi Qing rushed in and hugged him full, that was a scorching temperature that he couldn't experience in the prison.

His brain turned stiffly, looking over Qi Qing's immature shoulders, he saw the relieved Yu Tong, at that moment, there was only one thought in his mind:

They will be killed by me too.

Then he recuperated in the hospital for a day, managed to get up, discussed with Mrs. Yu, and left Qi's house.

"Major Damel, it's enough to get here," Dern stopped Damel when he walked to the lobby lounge, "If you continue to follow, even if the marshal comes in person, it will be against the rules."

Damel had no choice but to stop, and his voice was neither high nor low, just enough for everyone present to hear: "Madam, don't be afraid, the marshal will come over later."

Ji Xingjue smiled: "Okay, let him slow down."

The interrogation by the Ministry of Security was the same as back then. The interrogation room was dark and cold, surrounded by cameras to capture the micro-expressions of the interrogated.

The two investigators were sitting in front. Damel's words probably had an effect. The two were quite polite and asked a few questions that were similar to those of the police.

Ji Xingjue crossed his fingers, put it in front of him, and finished his answer calmly. The two investigators looked at each other, and the female investigator on the left said coldly: "Professor Ji, the explanation about you disappearing thirteen days ago is too vague. , do you have more tangible evidence to prove it?"

Ji Xingjue regretted: "Although I have no evidence to prove that I have really stayed at home, it seems too hasty to convict me based on that diary alone."

He shook his head: "Let me say one more thing, it is wrong to trust things like data too much."

"But you are currently being accused because of these data," the investigator on the right said indifferently, "We can fully speculate—the project with the military has mission requirements, because you have been unable to develop a new type of chip to communicate with the military. , after discovering that your student Iser Lesterven had developed the C9 chip, and wanted to take his research results as your own, but was rejected by Iser, you contacted the spies of the imperial capital and sold out the frontline base Coordinates, with the help of the star thief, kidnapped Yser in full view, and then got the C9 chip, and the star thief killed Yser, blew up the starship, and returned to the imperial capital."

Ji Xingjue almost wanted to applaud him: "It's really a wonderful story."

"Professor Ji, it's useless for you to be so stubborn." The female investigator lowered her head and opened the terminal, "You probably don't know that our witness has provided us with an interesting thing, and this thing is the same as that provided by Fant Company. The data are also consistent."

Ji Xingjue raised his eyebrows.

The investigator on the right opened the terminal and released a video.

It was a seven-second video.

The picture was very blurred due to the violent shaking, and the surrounding voices were noisy and connected together, making it difficult to hear what was being said. At the last second, the camera shot to Esther's face.

Because the time of stay was too short, it was difficult to discern the expression of Esther at that moment.

His voice sounded in the video: "Teacher, why..."

The screen ends abruptly.

"After comparing the face with the voiceprint, it is confirmed that the person in the video is Esther Lesterven," the female investigator smiled determinedly, "The video was shot on June 911, 6 in the star calendar. On March 3rd, the day after Esther was kidnapped by the Star Thief."

"Esther would call 'teacher', who else but you?"

Ji Xingjue thought for a while: "I found out that your strong evidence against me all comes from Fant Company."

"According to our investigation, Fante has no enmity with you," the investigator on the right gritted his voice. "It's impossible for their database to be hacked and tampered with."

The female investigator took a sip of water and shrugged: "Of course, if you can prove that their firewall will also be compromised, then you might be able to be released without charge."

The attitude of the two of them changed a lot with the "evidence" thrown out, and they seemed to believe that Ji Xingjue was the traitor who sold the coordinates of the base.

If it wasn't for Ji Xingjue's status as "Marshal's Wife" and Damel watching outside, perhaps they would have already started to torture to extract a confession.

Ji Xingjue considered it for a while, and just about to speak, the investigator's terminal on the right rang twice.

He looked down, his face was startled: "Stop the interrogation first, Professor Ji, I must wrong you to stay in the security department for a while."

Ji Xingjue said "oh".

The investigator stood up, his voice became colder: "Your background is more complicated than we imagined, Rand is coming."

Going out of the interrogation room, you will pass the lounge. Ji Xingjue glanced a little puzzled, and he really saw Admiral Rand.

Admiral Rand's rule of survival is "don't meddle in other people's business", so he outlived all his colleagues. After so many years, this is the first time he jumped out and personally intervened in this kind of thing. Not only was Deen caught off guard, but Ji Xingjue was also surprised.

Even if Admiral Rand sells Qi Qing's face, it doesn't have to be so big, right?

"Xiao Ji," Admiral Rand greeted with a smile, "Are you all right?"

Seeing that Deen seemed to have no objection, Ji Xingjue walked into the lounge and bowed politely: "Thank you."

"When C9 was being built, you reported it to me." Admiral Rand glanced lightly at the two security officers following behind. "Calculating the time, it was before Esther joined the project team."

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of the people in the security department changed slightly.

"The Ministry of Security has always been reckless in its work, don't worry about it," Admiral Rand patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I trust you."

Deen's face was also a little ugly: "Admiral, can you produce evidence?"

Rand snorted, and took out a storage device from his pocket and handed it over: "This is the demonstration video when Professor Ji and I reported."

Ji Xingjue was even more surprised.

Admiral Rand said that it was true. When the C9 model was initially built, he did report to Rand and gave a video demonstration.

But it was just a few minutes, he didn't expect Rand to record it and store it for so long.

"...We will verify as soon as possible," Deen squeezed out these words with a bad feeling in his heart, "but another video record is more convincing, Ji Xingjue still needs to be The Ministry of Security is under investigation."

Admiral Rand chuckled: "Then I won't bother you with the investigation, Professor Ji, I'll wait for you to come back and play chess with me."

Ji Xingjue was handcuffed, and it was rare for him to appear personable: "I am extremely happy."

Ji Xingjue, the prison cell of the Ministry of Security, is also familiar with it.

Although he only stayed for a week, he was quite impressed when he escaped from a horrible encounter and was turned into a dark place.

Walking into this quiet and closed dark room again, my heartbeat seemed to slow down a beat.

Ji Xingjue closed his eyes, heard the door close behind him with a "click", and took a few deep breaths, but there were still many things in his mind that he didn't want to recall.

The starship that was hit and exploded, spreading into a boundless sea of ​​flames, and the guard who fled in the sea of ​​flowers holding him, blood dripping and dyeing the white petals red...

Suddenly there was a slight "click" at the door, interrupting these intertwined memories.

Ji Xingjue's face was slightly pale, sweat was floating on his forehead, he slowly opened his eyes, and was a little surprised when he saw the person coming: "He came so fast?"

Qi Qing stood at the door, turned her head and said lightly: "Go away, I'll have a chat with him alone."

The guard at the door was a little embarrassed: "Marshal, this is against the rules."

"Even a prisoner has the right to privacy," Qi Qing looked down at him, her cold eyes were quite deterrent, "besides, he is not a prisoner."

The guard laughed dryly: "But, you're just talking to Mr. Ji, and there's nothing private about it..."

Qi Qing said surprisingly: "We are husband and wife, do you want to watch us kiss?"

Guard: "..."

Ji Xingjue: "..."

The guard stayed for three seconds, facing Qi Qing's expression that didn't seem to be joking, shrunk his neck and swallowed: "Then, then you talk, I will stay outside."

The door closed again.

The corner of Ji Xingjue's mouth twitched, feeling that Qi Qing's sacrifice was a little too big.

In order to facilitate some non-compliance methods, there are no monitoring equipment installed in the small cell of the Ministry of Security, only a few cameras.

The light in the cell was extremely dim, Qi Qing took out a rabbit-shaped touch night light from her arms, and placed it on the table.

The warm yellow light brightened, dispelling the cold darkness.

Ji Xingjue's eyebrows twitched: "Master Marshal, I have a hunch that you seem to be a bad visitor."

Qi Qing said coldly: "I told you, Ji Xingjue, don't let me catch you."

Ji Xingjue looked up at Qi Qing's backlit face, from this angle, the corners of his eyes were slightly rounded, looking very innocent: "Then what did you catch?"

"On May 29th of this year, at [-]:[-] p.m.," Qi Qing said, "You disguised yourself as an ordinary tourist and boarded the starship leaving the imperial capital with a fake identity. The surveillance camera captured your back."

He paused: "No matter what you look like, I can recognize you at a glance."

He waited for Ji Xingjue to deny it, or to cover it up with the next lie.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xingjue laughed when he heard the words: "Ah, I was discovered by you."

This unexpected answer made Qi Qing speechless.

Ji Xingjue sat quietly in front of him, with a smile on his face, the red mole at the corner of his eye was burning and provocative, his voice was low and soft, a little coaxing: "What else did you find?"

"...No more." Qi Qing lowered her eyes and stared at him seriously, "You only appeared on the surveillance once, and then disappeared."

Ji Xingjue blinked: "Then am I still 'harmless'?"

Qi Qing's Adam's apple rolled, and she was silent for a few breaths: "Yes."

The author has something to say:

Using Jiyou's computer code words, input "Dameer", and the first word that pops up is "Dameier".

Watching Damel lost in thought.

By the way, Xiao Ji is becoming more and more like a cheater (not yet cheated) cheater...
