Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Then you admit that you cheated...

"Fortunately, the attack didn't affect the starship. If the attack range was wider, our starship would be affected, and in serious cases, it might even be sunk."

"Is it so serious? Didn't your technical team make relevant plans in advance?" the dispatch team leader criticized.

The technical team retorted, "How could there be no contingency plan? The attackers simply calculated the range of the radio waves in advance, so they didn't use it."

"It seems like this was indeed an attack between the players. Have you found the source?"

Feng Long stopped the war between the technical team and the dispatch team with just one sentence.

The technical team was sweating profusely: "We are investigating."

The dispatch team leader yelled, "What are you still checking? There are only two mechas left standing on the field. Could anyone else have launched the attack?"

The head of the public opinion team held out a trembling hand. "I beg you to quickly confirm the source of the radio waves. The livestream audience suspects the first-place finisher of cheating. My backstage is flooded with reports. The ninth division is already trending. Can the technical team give me a definitive answer? Did the Space Ghost Girls cheat? I don't want to stay up all night writing a statement on the first day of the league! Save my kidneys!"

The head of the public opinion group held his heart in pain.

"Technical team, please speak up!"

The technical team hesitated and no one dared to speak.

At this time, the second-in-command of the technical team stood up under pressure, patting his chest and saying:

"Are you asking if it's cheating?"

"Of course it's cheating!"

"How could the firewalls of the aircraft selected by the sea be completely breached in such a short time? Someone must have illegally brought in a radio transmitter. What are you doing, inspection team? You couldn't even detect this! Where are the inspection team?"

The ball hit the inspection team's head.

The second-in-command of the technical team had an accusatory look on his face, but when he turned around, he found that all the members of the inspection team were chewing food and looking at him blankly like hamsters.

"...You're still in the mood to eat?! Wait, where did you get all this food?"

"Would you like some of the jerky we confiscated during the entrance inspection?"

"Oh—thank you."

Amidst the chaotic and leaderless atmosphere, Feng Long's voice came coldly.

"Do you really not want to leave work?"

There was a moment of silence.

Feng Long put the documents in order on the table, then she calmly crossed her arms and glanced at all the team leaders with a warning look on her face.

The inspection team leader quickly wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth and rubbed his hands, saying:

"Team Leader Feng is very perceptive. Although we are quite relaxed right now, we are definitely working hard during the inspection period."

"Did you spot anyone suspicious at the checkpoint?" Feng Long interrupted him and called out, "The Space Ghost Team. Did they show any unusual behavior when they passed through the checkpoint?"

"They've been acting a lot. I wonder how much stuff that student with Type F brought in."

"You didn't stop me?"

"Of course they stopped us! But we checked every bottle, including all her medicines, and there were no problems. There were also some strange things, like oxygen cylinders and air purifiers, but they were all reviewed and approved by the medical team!"

The medical team jumped up and said, "How dare you stop her from using an oxygen tank with her condition?"

"Don't argue," the inspection team leader pushed out a few bags of dried meat and handed them to the medical team. "These foods were also confiscated from them. Eat some first, and then we'll figure out a solution."

"Oh - thank you." The medical team happily accepted the snacks.

Whoever wants to lead this team can lead it!

Feng Long closed his eyes and took out a bag of liver-nourishing nutrient solution from the drawer.

She finished the bag of bitter brown liquid in one gulp, suppressed her anger, and changed the subject: "Medical team, what's the matter with you suddenly coming here?"

The head of the medical team seemed to suddenly remember something, exclaimed, and began to report.

"The rescued student Bai Ying is not in the medical cabin!"

"Who is Bai Ying?" "She's the student with constitution F."

"Oh, you mean her..." The technical team leader paused, then took a step back and shouted, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be reported from the beginning? What are you medical team members doing?!"

Seeing that the medical team was about to join the melee, Feng Long took a deep breath and slammed the table a few times.

"Be quiet! No need to look for her, I know where she is."

After saying that, Feng Long strode to the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Everyone finally realized that there was a suspicious person sitting there.

Her hair was half-long and tied back. She was about 1.65 meters tall, with an average interstellar frame. She was wearing work clothes and a mask covering her mouth, leaving only her eyes exposed.

The black pupils are very calm, giving people the feeling of a reliable technician.

But the problem is, no one in the office knows her.

The suspicious person pulled off his mask with one hand, revealing a smiling face that looked very friendly.

"Hello everyone?"

Feng Long sneered, grabbed the suspicious person's delicate wrist and pulled him in front of everyone.

"Is she the person you are looking for?"

The inspection team leader and the medical team leader walked around Tao Ying three times, compared them, and nodded repeatedly.

"He actually ran out disguised as a staff member. No wonder I couldn't find him."

"I even gave her snacks. She looked too much like a technician."

"While she was in the medical bay, the video system was powered off and undergoing maintenance..."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Feng Long let go of Tao Ying's wrist and asked in a questioning tone.

"What are you doing here?"

Tao Ying rubbed her aching wrist and smiled, "I felt uncomfortable staying in the medical cabin, so I wanted to get some fresh air, but I accidentally got lost. Why are people looking at me like that?"

Tao Ying covered her chest and said, "I'm just a weak contestant passing by."

Are you kidding me?

Feng Long had no expression on his face.

"So what's with your clothes?"

"Oh, you're talking about this. The temperature on the starship was too low, and I was shivering with cold. I happened to pass by a room and saw that it was full of clothes, so I grabbed one and put it on."

Everyone choked, feeling as if she was lying with her eyes open, but considering her physique, it seemed to make sense logically.

Feng Long took a step back. "You mean, you put on your work clothes, put on your badge, and walked all the way here without being noticed?"

"Yeah, everyone was working pretty hard and didn't notice me at all."

The technical team, dispatch team, inspection team, public opinion team, and medical team all agreed at this point: "Yes, it must be because we were so focused on our work that we didn't notice it."

"By the way, whose ID card is this? It says Feng Long, Team Leader Feng. Who is it? Why didn't she bring her ID card to work? And is this dress hers too?"

Tao Ying held up her work badge and gestured to the people around her.

Feng Long sneered and grabbed Tao Ying by the collar: "Stop playing dumb, investigation team, take her to the interrogation room!"

…

Tao Ying was taken to the interrogation room.

After walking through the long corridor and standing in front of the inquiry room at the end, the pale light above his head flickered. Feng Long scanned the ID card and asked Tao Ying to go in and sit down.

After entering the house, Tao Ying looked around. The walls were empty, the ceiling was low, there were no windows, and there was a depressing atmosphere.

The only furniture was a table and a few rusty chairs. Tao Ying dragged one over and sat down, and it made a creaking sound.

Is there such a place on the starship to scare children?

Two women and one man walked in and sat opposite Tao Ying, looking at her for ten minutes without saying anything.

Tao Ying was also examining them.

Tao Ying quickly realized that they were two investigators and a technician.

Tao Ying asked, "Is the refereeing of the match over?"

The investigator handed over a tablet with the end-of-game scores on it.

"Yes, congratulations, the Space Ghost Girls' final score is 2222. Your score is even five times that of the Imperial First Military Academy."

The investigator was originally smiling, but his expression changed instantly, and he said coldly:

"But is your score legitimate?"

Tao Ying's expression remained unchanged. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "I heard my teammates are in the inquiry room next door?"

"Why, are you worried that they will betray you?"

"Oh—that's not the case. I'm just reminding you that it's best not to eat the confiscated snacks in front of Lin Biege, or she'll burst into tears."

The investigator was not expecting this answer, and his expression froze for a moment. After he calmed down, he continued to question Tao Ying.

"Why are you avoiding the question? Is it because I was right about you cheating?"

It's been a long time since I had this kind of experience. The last time I was interrogated as a suspect was when I was ten years old.

While answering the questions, Tao Ying looked up at the pale light and raised her hand: "Please turn up the temperature a little, I'm cold."

Five minutes later.

Tao Ying raised her hand: "Please give me 350ml of ice cream, less ice and no syrup, thank you. I need some energy."

Tao Ying took a sip of coffee calmly.

Five minutes later.

"I want to call my family--" Tao Ying raised her hand lazily.

"Why do you have so many demands?" the investigator slammed the table.

They even ordered food, as if this was a cafe!

Feng Long, who was watching the situation outside the door, frowned.

The dispatch team leader asked, "I don't see how she's afraid at all. She feels like she's going home when she enters the small dark room."

"Are cheating students so rampant nowadays?"

I originally wanted to put some psychological pressure on Tao Ying, but I didn't expect that not only did she not feel any pressure, she even started drinking coffee in a swaggering manner.

The investigators in the interrogation room were furious.

The investigator didn't beat around the bush and slammed his palm on the table. "Tell me, why did you cheat with the radio wave device?"

He looked fierce and said he would be treated leniently if he confessed and severely punished if he resisted.

Another investigator handed Tao Ying a piece of chocolate and said gently, "As long as you cooperate with the investigation, you will be banned for two years, but you will still have the opportunity to participate in the future. But if you don't cooperate, you may be banned from participating in the league for life."

Tao Ying spread her hands generously.

"I didn't bring any radio transmitter with me. How could I possibly use something that's forbidden by regulations?"

"No? Ha," the investigator sneered, "Then tell me, what is that high-intensity signal coming from your body, Technician?"

The technician wheeled over the screen, pointing at the hundreds of waveforms it displayed.

"Here, about three minutes before you were rescued, your mecha began transmitting data to your teammates, and then it began to spread explosively, directly infecting all the mechas in the arena."

"I don't deny that I did this." Tao Ying smiled.

"So you admit you cheated?"

"No, this is a legitimate attack," Tao Ying shook her head. "You didn't find what you were looking for in the mecha, did you?"

Tao Ying took a sip of coffee and leaned back in her chair.

"you--"

Tao Ying raised her hands in surrender. "Don't misunderstand me, Investigator. I'm not provoking you. You can't find it because I don't have any radio wave device with me."

"Impossible! How do you explain this high-intensity signal? How does your body send out this signal?"

The other investigator, playing the good cop, also seemed to be losing patience. "Yeah, just tell me straight. Your two teammates have already confessed everything."

Oh, you're trying to trick her with the prisoner's dilemma? You're really trying her like she's a criminal.

Unfortunately, she always told the truth.

Tao Ying smiled softly when she heard this: "I think it's useless to tell you directly, why not just recreate the attack for you to see."

As she spoke, she pointed to the tablet in the technician's hand.

"Lend it to me for a moment?"

The technician asked his superior for instructions and handed over the tablet.

Tao Ying's hands tapped quickly on the screen. Without the help of any additional equipment, he remotely operated the mecha and sent another command to Lin Biege's mecha.

Then I held the coffee cup, warming my hands while waiting.

The wait wasn't long.

Thirty seconds later, someone quickly pushed the door open and walked in.

The technical team leader shouted, "What did you do? All the mechas in the arena suddenly stopped responding again!"

Tao Ying spread his hands under the surprised gaze of the two investigators.

"Look, what do you say?"

“It’s a compliance attack.”
