After being captured by the old enemy

The smile on Ji Xingjue's lips became stronger, he got up and approached Qi Qing, looked at those light-colored eyes, and said with a smile in his voice, "No way, Marshal, it's all like this, and you still believe that I am harmless?"

Like a fruit exuding a sweet smell, he approached without knowing it, tempted someone to take a bite, and asked again: "Do you think I killed Esther?"

"I can't think of a reason for you to kill him."

Qi Qing couldn't stand it anymore, pressed his head, pushed him back and sat down, and said coldly: "Don't try, I never thought you would do those things, and it's not for this reason to investigate you."

Ji Xingjue was stunned.

Qi Qing looked down at him: "I'm not sure what dangerous things you will do."

"So I want to keep an eye on you."

It's hard to describe how I feel when I hear this sentence.

Ji Xingjue blinked, concealed his emotions at that moment, and asked with a smile: "Then you also want to interrogate me?"

"I'll wait for you to tell." Qi Qing's tone was flat, "Or I'll find out by myself."

He didn't say any more, and was about to leave: "I sent Damel to keep an eye on him. You don't need to stay in this kind of crappy place until night."

Ji Xingjue hesitated for a moment: "What crime will Cathy be convicted of?"

"Is this important?" Qi Qing looked at him sideways, "The moment she makes a mistake, she should be ready to accept the corresponding punishment."

Ji Xingjue felt that he was very strong, but he still couldn't help asking: "Can you let her go?"

Qi Qing paused with her fingertips: "Give me a reason."

"I'll tell you when I get home," Ji Xingjue asked softly, "is that okay?"

Qi Qing didn't say a word, and pressed the button.

The alloy door opened and closed with a soft click, leaving Ji Xingjue alone.

The small lamp on the table was dimly lit, and the warm yellow light was soft, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

He estimated the time in his heart, closed his eyes and waited patiently.

The news that Ji Xingjue was taken away by people from the Ministry of Security quickly swept through the imperial capital and shocked the entire Ankara University.

This is being discussed everywhere.

Especially Alley, who has always been at odds with Ji Xingjue.

With sullen faces, Cicely and Song Mei walked through the woods and arrived at the laboratory building.

They went to the military headquarters to look for Admiral Rand, but they couldn't find Qi Qing. When they returned to school, they ran into Alley sneering and sarcastic.

The door of the laboratory was ajar, and the conversations inside could be faintly heard.

Cicely recognized that the person who spoke was the newcomer sitting behind her: "I didn't expect it to be like this. No wonder Professor Ji couldn't see that he was sad at all yesterday."

There was a moment of silence inside, and someone sighed and responded: "We are so close to the murderer, Ji Xingjue is too scary."

"Hey, I'm not surprised. The school shouldn't hire people with such bad records. Sooner or later, something will happen."

"Don't rush to draw conclusions, we have worked with Professor Ji for several years, and he is not like that kind of person."

The newcomer timidly said: "But, you know people, know faces, but don't know your heart. You don't know Professor Ji very well, do you?"

"..."

Cicely raised her eyebrows, raised her foot and kicked the door hard.

There was a moment of silence in the laboratory.

She stepped on her high-heeled boots, walked in the door, folded her arms around her chest, and glanced around coldly: "Is there nothing to do?"

Those who talked the most were those who usually disliked Ji Xingjue, and said angrily: "Tell me what's wrong, what he did by himself, why don't you let him talk about it?"

Cicely touched her mouth up and down, and directly pushed back: "Yo, did you see Ji Xingjue murder and steal money with your own eyes, or did you pass the knife and gun by the side?"

The other party's face suddenly became ugly.

The smell of gunpowder in the air is almost imminent.

The newcomer hurriedly got up to mediate: "Professor Cicely, you have such a good relationship with Professor Ji, and we understand how you want to protect him, but the Ministry of Security and the police station are involved in the investigation. Whether Professor Ji is innocent or not depends on them." ..."

Song Mei looked at him in astonishment, and couldn't help but say, "You're pretty good at fighting."

The newcomer was stunned, feeling a little wronged: "I just don't want everyone to hurt their peace."

Cicely squinted her eyes and was about to speak when there was a sudden sound of orderly footsteps outside the laboratory.

Someone knocked on the door politely: "Excuse me, let's find someone."

Song Mei was the closest to the door, and opened the door smoothly. His vision suddenly went dark, and there was a tall man in military uniform standing in front of him.

Recognizing that this is Ji Xingjue's friend, Damel smiled kindly: "Professor Song, hello."

Then he raised his head, looked around the laboratory, and settled on the person in front of Cicely, his expression turned cold, and he uttered two words: "Take it away."

There was a lot of noise outside, Ji Xingjue was accompanied by a small night light, and he stayed safely in the security department, and even had to catch up on sleep for a while.

Woke up to the sound of the door opening.

He opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he looked at the person coming, not surprised: "Your Highness De En? What new evidence have you got?"

Seeing his leisurely look, De En's expression was uneasy: "You can still sleep."

Ji Xingjue turned over, and lazily pulled up the jacket that had slipped off his shoulders: "Being a man, the most important thing is to be happy—His Highness is going to interrogate me again?"

"The anonymous witness is willing to come forward to accuse you." Deen sneered, "Let's go, Professor Ji, maybe this is the last time you feel happy."

Ji Xingjue did not agree with his statement, and happily followed him out of the cell, and under the guard of the guards, walked through the dark corridor and returned to the interrogation room.

This time, in addition to the two investigators, there was one more person.

Ji Xingjue sighed silently: "Cathy."

Once she came out like this, it would be very difficult to keep her unscathed.

Sitting opposite him, Cathy's face was pale, her eyes were red, her lips twitched, and her voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry, Professor Ji. But... I must avenge Senior Esther."

In the face of the investigator's interrogation, Ji Xingjue was still able to talk freely.

But facing the red eyes of this little girl, Ji Xingjue didn't know how to answer for a while.

The female investigator who met once before said: "Student Cathy, please tell me what you have learned."

Cathy clutched the corner of her clothes nervously: "Five days ago, I heard about Senior Iser's death, so I sorted out the emails I had sent with Senior Iser, and found that there was a scrambled message hidden inside. After decoding the letter, it was found that it was Senior Iser's... distress message."

She took a deep breath, her voice trembling: "I downloaded the encrypted content inside, which contains the senior's diary and the last video of her life."

When she mentioned the diary and the video, her tone suddenly became agitated: "I didn't know until then! It was you who killed the senior for the research results! In the past six months, every time I asked Iser about the news of the senior, Professor Ji, you Are you not guilty?"

Ji Xingjue remained silent.

The two investigators also looked at Ji Xingjue: "Professor Ji, according to our investigation, when you reported to Admiral Rand, Ise had already become your student, even if he didn't join the project team, he chose the bionic intelligence It is not impossible to do research on your own.”

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was tense.

Just as the investigators were about to pursue the victory, the interrogation was urgently stopped again.

The two were a little annoyed, and they slapped the table hard: "What are you doing?"

Ji Xingjue estimated the time in his heart, and the corners of his mouth subtly raised: "Maybe something terrible happened."

The female investigator glanced at the message on the terminal, suppressing her anger: "Your Highness asked us to take him to the lounge."

Cathy was a little at a loss, looking left and right, followed several people blankly.

The lounge is not far from the interrogation room. From the door, you can see that there are many people standing inside. Apart from those from the Ministry of Security, there are also soldiers in the uniform of the Imperial Army, forming an indistinct confrontation.

The leaders on both sides are Qi Qing and De En.

"Your Excellency Marshal," Deen was a little displeased, "What do you mean by suddenly bringing someone in to take away my witness?"

Seeing someone coming, Qi Qing turned her gaze and spit out two words: "Business."

Meeting his eyes, Cathy flinched subconsciously.

Before she could react, Qi Qing swept her body and said directly: "Take it."

The following army soldiers rushed forward and grabbed the startled Cathy.

Deen said angrily: "Qi Qing, what are you doing! This is the security department, not the military department!"

"The military led the joint investigation with the Ministry of Security to arrest the suspect, and the Ministry of Security should cooperate."

Deen laughed angrily: "What's your relationship with Ji Xingjue? In order to protect him, he turned black and white and arrested people?"

When she heard "what's the relationship", Qi Qing raised her eyebrows, showing an expression of "do you have a problem with your brain?" 'The gangsters deceived and gave false testimony, I took it away for investigation, there should be no problem."

The boiling lounge suddenly fell silent.

The "Holy Order" is the group of cults that support Star Thief. The sect claims that since Qi Qing found out and reported it, the Imperial Security Department has tracked it down for several years, but except that the sect is in charge of the "Holy Son" and the "Pope", the rest I don't know anything.

This sect is extremely secretive and more dangerous than star robbers.

Qi Qing would not lie about such things.

"It seems that His Highness is only interested in Cha Jixing, so let me tell His Highness," Qi Qing said with a sarcasm, "Five days ago, Cathy Curtis was on the way to the laboratory building. I met a member of the Holy Order hiding in Ankara University, and that person told her that Ji Xingjue killed Iser for the research results. He had a good relationship with Iser, so Iser sent his diary and video to her before he died. Gave it to him."

His voice was neither high nor low, and every time he said a word, Cathy's face turned pale.

"He told Cathy that he didn't dare to report Ji Xingjue for fear of being retaliated, but he found it unbearable to see the news of Esther's death, so he came to ask her if she dared to testify."

Cathy's lips were trembling: "No, it can't be fake..."

Dern's heart sank.

Just by looking at Cathy's reaction, he knew it was true.

"I don't think I need to say more about the following things," Qi Qing ordered lightly, "Take her away."

Two soldiers escorted Cathy and went straight out of the lounge.

De En reacted abruptly: "No, people have to us..."

"In exchange, I brought you that Holy Cult member." Qi Qing interrupted him forcefully.

It just so happened that Damel, who was going to arrest someone at the school, walked in with a thin young man wearing glasses.

The "Holy Cultist" who was escorted was the newcomer in Ji Xingjue's laboratory who claimed to be from the fourth galaxy.

Qi Qing then added: "As for Ji Xingjue, I should take it away."

He was almost led away by Qi Qing.

Deen raised his eyebrows: "Wait! The source of the diary and video is reliable, and Ji Xingjue's suspicion has not been cleared!"

The investigator terminal next to him suddenly rang. He glanced casually, his expression suddenly changed, and he quietly tugged on Laden's sleeve: "Your Highness."

Deen was getting angry, and his tone was a lot heavier: "Say!"

The investigator hesitated for a moment, then bit the bullet and said, "...the official Starnet account of Fante Company has been stolen."

The account hacker regularly released a video of cracking the firewall of Fanta Company, and there was also a remote virtual meeting record in it. In the video, several senior executives of Fanta Company and a person who talked about "the end of the universe" and "God's blessing" were having a meeting.

Although the staff reacted and immediately deleted the video, but...

The current investigation target of the Ministry of Security should be Fant Company.

The time is right.

Ji Xingjue's face remained unchanged, and the corners of his eyes rolled: "Oh, something really happened."

Qi Qing walked up to him, glanced at him, and didn't comment on his flamboyant acting skills.

The members of the Holy Order who were escorted by Damel originally lowered their heads, and when they heard Ji Xingjue's words, they looked over directly.

Those eyes changed from the humble and kind in the past, to be vicious and sinister, like a vulture pecking at carrion.

When Ji Xingjue came into contact with that look, the alarm bell sounded instantly: "Damel, hold him down!"

Damel subconsciously held down the saint, but the thin body under his palm exploded with astonishing strength at this moment, and even threw him flying!

I didn't see how the saints moved, and the handcuffs fell to the ground with a bang. The moment he broke free, he took the gun from the waist of the soldier beside him and pointed it at Ji Xingjue.

All of this was completed almost instantly. In a flash, Qi Qing hugged Ji Xingjue fiercely, threw herself to the side, and hid behind the bunker.

Several gun holes fell on the spot!

The guards and soldiers raised their guns and fired on reflex.

Ji Xingjue only had time to shout "Don't shoot", but it was too late.

The saint who had been shot several times rushed towards Ji Xingjue with red eyes as if he didn't feel any pain.

Qi Qing weighed the distance, and quickly took out the gun. Ji Xingjue's hands were still handcuffed, and he sat up, lowering his voice to remind: "Brows!"

Qi Qing didn't move her eyes, and aimed at the brows of the saints.

The saints did not fall in response.

His footsteps became sluggish, his body swayed, and in the next moment, with a "boom", that body was torn apart and exploded!

Ji Xingjue seized the opportunity, flew up, and fell down with a bang while protecting Qi Qing.

The distance was too close, and the strong shock wave made Ji Xingjue's eyes go dark, and the smell of blood immediately rose from his throat.

Vision blurred.

He blinked hard, but still couldn't see Qi Qing's face clearly, coughed lowly, swallowed a mouthful of blood foam, and said in a hoarse voice, "I have something to tell you..."

Qi Qing's hands and feet were getting cold, turned over and picked him up carefully, ignoring the messy hall, and ran outside, with an undetectable tremor in his voice: "There is a medical cabin in the car, let's talk about it after you recover."

It was as if a piece of iron had been swallowed in his throat, and his voice was difficult: "You are bleeding."

"...It must be that person's blood."

Ji Xingjue didn't know how he became so fragile today, he was just hit by a body bomb, and his blood was surging and he couldn't move.

He grabbed Qi Qing's arm, gasped for breath and said, "Very, very important."

Diary is fake.

But the video is real.

He watched Yser's starship explode with his own eyes.

Esther shouldn't be, much less likely to be alive.

Who sent that video?

He moved his lips, but he couldn't make a sound, his eyes went dark, and he fell into the abyss of darkness.
