Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Huang Tong, Brother Mei is dumb again...
The next night, Jiang Xi confessed everything.
When Zhuo Lan arrived, Yu Qing was sitting outside the interrogation room with a calm face. When he heard the footsteps, his dark pupils moved slightly and looked at him. There was no emotion in his eyes, but it was inexplicably frightening.
Zhuo Lan's eyes fell on the interrogation room. Jiang Xi had no external injuries on his body, but his clothes were soaked.
Zhuo Lan thought that Yu Qing had put the man in water for interrogation, but after a closer look he realized that it was Jiang Xi's own cold sweat.
Zhuo Lan had never been to the Interrogation Bureau, but he had heard of the department's mysterious interrogation methods.
In their time, the ancient torture is no longer popular. Most people's impression of the Interrogation Bureau is solitary confinement. Many vicious criminals were locked up there and were released in less than a week, all in one piece, and it seemed that they did not suffer at all.
Surprisingly, the credibility of the information released by the Bureau of Investigation was as high as 80%, which means that almost no one dared to lie.
Zhuo Lan once saw a criminal coming out of there, and he was the one who had arrested him personally.
At that time, he was squatting at the door of the Interrogation Bureau, preparing to escort the criminal to the Star Domain Court for trial. After the man came out, his attitude was even more arrogant than before he was arrested. The hatred in his eyes for him had not disappeared, and he had no intention of repenting at all.
Zhuo Lan was wondering at the time what kind of evil methods the Interrogation Bureau used to make the man go away during the trial, or was it that this big man with a fat face was only willing to take soft measures and not hard ones?
It was not until the thin young interrogator behind him spoke that the criminal, who had been so arrogant just now, was immediately frightened and trembling with tears. Zhuo Lan realized that the man had actually gone crazy and was afraid of the interrogator's voice.
Now seeing Yu Qing sitting there calmly, Zhuo Lan seemed to see again the shadow of the interrogator who could make a criminal tremble with fear just by speaking.
Looking at Jiang Xi who looked dazed, Zhuo Lan shook his head, thinking that he was a ball of cotton that was easy to handle, but he didn't know that there was a piece of steel inside the cotton. Now, he had kicked the iron block.
Based on the clues Jiang Xi gave when he was conscious, Zhuo Lan acted quickly and followed the clues all the way. He quickly found the coordinates of the person who contacted Jiang Xi and locked on a location near the garbage planet.
After determining the coordinates, he led his men and rushed there quickly.

“Hurry up!”
Deep underground, in the laboratory, there was a commotion. Dozens of people in white uniforms were walking hurriedly. A young man was knocked down by a passerby. He fell down with a cry of pain, and a large stack of materials in his arms fell to the ground. The person who knocked him down showed no apology and kicked him viciously, cursing, "Get out of the way!"
The young man's face turned pale, and he sat on the ground for a long time, holding his aching stomach. He finally recovered, moved his body, and carefully picked up the documents. During this time, his hands were stepped on by many people. No one had time to care about anything else, and instead ignored him as a human roadblock.
"Wang Qi? Why are you still here?" A middle-aged man found him, pulled him up from the ground and left.
The young man looked back at the documents being trampled on and asked for help: "Teacher, the documents..."
"Don't worry about your crappy information, just run!" The middle-aged man pulled him out.
"But……"
But isn’t that very important research data?
Until they boarded the spaceship and left, Wang Qi had no idea why everyone was in such a hurry to leave the experimental base where they had stayed for several months.
"Teacher, has something happened at the base?" The young man, who was not very worldly-wise, asked his teacher his doubts.
A few months ago, he had just graduated from an ordinary university. He was not a graduate of a prestigious university, nor did he have a prominent family background. He had been rejected everywhere when looking for a job. When he was feeling discouraged, he unexpectedly received a job offer letter from the Canaan Research Institute in his job application mailbox.
Wang Qi couldn't believe it, and carefully chose his words to ask the other party whether they had sent the message to the wrong person. The other party replied that it was indeed a misunderstanding caused by having the same name.
Wang Qi smiled bitterly and thought to himself that it was indeed so.
The other party's reply immediately gave him hope again.
The other party said that the person who was originally hired had declined the offer because he had a better job, and now the position was vacant. He asked Wang whether he was interested in joining. At the same time, he listed the responsibilities of the position, as well as salary, confidentiality and other relevant information.
Wang Qi was hit by a huge pie that fell from the sky and was dizzy. Canaan and the research institute, two places that were out of reach for him, actually appeared in front of him.
After the excitement, Wang Qi calmed down and thought seriously about the authenticity of this job.
He is a college student, but he is not so clear-headed and dull. He is still vigilant.
After checking on StarNet, the information publicly available online was basically consistent with the information given by the other party.
The only thing is that this is a project that has been shelved for ten years, and the other party also explained this problem in the email, which means that they must conduct research in secret and cannot make it public.
The other party also said that the work location is not in Canaan, but on a remote and backward garbage planet. Although the conditions are difficult, the salary will definitely be generous after the project is successful.
Wang Qi agreed.
So he stayed in the experimental base underground on the garbage planet for nearly half a year.
Today's sudden emergency evacuation was the first time he had to be on the ground since he started working.
It is called a research project, but in fact it is just a side job and has no access to the core part. After so long, Wang Qi has no idea what the underground experimental base is researching.
His teacher also had a bad temper and would scold and insult him all the time.
After Wang Qi finished asking the question, the middle-aged man immediately frowned and said sternly: "Don't ask nonsense questions. This is not something you should ask. Just do what you are told."
Wang Qi lowered his head, put on a lower posture, and smiled flatteringly, "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm just a little curious. You are right, I will listen to you."
He knew that men were very susceptible to this.
The next second, the middle-aged man's impatient expression softened because of his words.
He lowered his voice, with a hint of pride in his tone: "This time we are moving to a real research institute, on the ground."
We are just moving, why are you in such a panic, like you are running for your life?
Although Wang Qi was confused, he did not show it.
He looked surprised and asked, "Really?"
The middle-aged man said, "Of course it's true. You've been at the base for a few months now. You've performed well and are very skillful. I'll talk to them and transfer you to the inner department to help."
Wang Qi was overwhelmed with emotion: "Thank you, teacher. I will work harder in the future and will never let you down for your cultivation and trust."
After passing through several interstellar jump points, the starship stopped at a desolate planet. Wang Qi followed the people from the base to get off the ship and transfer to the star shuttle. Two hours later, the star shuttle arrived at the destination.
Looking at the endless primeval forest outside the window, Wang Qi is full of expectations for his future workplace.
Zhuo Lan hurried forward, but still fell behind.
When he led his men into the underground base, all that was left was a messy empty shell, and no one had left.
"Report, we have searched everywhere, but no one is there."
Zhuo Lan's face was gloomy. He glanced at the people around him and was terrified.
There is more than one traitor in the alliance.
It took no more than a day from the time he got the clue to the time he investigated here. He personally watched every step during this period. Who on earth was so foresighted that he could pass on the news right under his nose?
Several suspicious names flashed through my mind, but were quickly ruled out one by one.
“Ding ding.”
A faint sound came from underground. Zhuo Lan's expression froze. He signaled others to keep quiet and leaned over to put his ear close to the ground.
Tick-tick, a faint sound of the same frequency reached my ears, very familiar, like the sound of a clock hand turning.
In a flash, Zhuo Lan thought of a possibility.
He stood up quickly and shouted to the others, "Get out of here now! There's a destruction device buried below!"
Everyone's expression changed and they evacuated quickly.
Just as everyone evacuated to a safe area, the experimental base exploded. A huge black mushroom cloud rose from the ground and flames shot up into the sky.
However, the explosions were far from over. Like a domino effect, tremors were heard one after another from underground. Wave after wave of explosions were severely damaging the desolate and poor little planet, until it shattered and decomposed, turning into dust and fragments and disappearing into the vast planetary belt.
Several starships were suspended in the galaxy orbit. Zhuo Lan stood at the window of the starship and witnessed the entire process of the small planet disappearing.
This was a long-planned conspiracy, and the other party was clearly well prepared.
"Adjutant Zhuo, it's bad. The news of the admiral's disappearance has been widely publicized on the Star Network." The subordinates came running over in a hurry. The computer screen was filled with overwhelming revelations, like a swarm of locusts, occupying all the pages.
Zhuo Lan frowned. A huge discussion forum had already been built on the Internet, with all kinds of opinions and conspiracies coming out.
All parties are asking: Where is Jing Miao?
The optical computer on my wrist kept popping up communication requests, one after another.
It's a complete mess.
Zhuo Lan had to interrupt the current investigation and turn around to deal with the various departments of the alliance, as well as the dealings with other star domain alliances which were nominally concerned but actually testing each other.
Soon, the Canaan Alliance issued a letter of explanation, acknowledging that Admiral Jing had unexpectedly disappeared during the previous mission, and stated that all matters of the alliance would be temporarily handled by Adjutant Zhuo Lan.
He was vague about Jing Miao's current whereabouts, neither saying he had been found nor that he had not been found, leaving the answer to the question up to suspicion from all parties.
As soon as this news came out, the entire star field was in an uproar, and the popularity remained high. On average, nine out of ten posts were asking: Where did the admiral go?
The Admiral himself could not answer this question for the time being, because it was his tenth day as the ghost behind the scenes.
He found himself back in the body of the little black cat.
The person I see every day in my dreams is now right in front of me, defenseless and sleeping soundly.
After hesitating for a moment, Jing Miao couldn't help but stretch out his cat paw and gently touch the tip of the man's nose.
Doctor Lu's long eyelashes trembled slightly. He opened his eyes dazedly and met the bright and clear eyes of the little black cat.
"Hmm?" Lu Zhiluan pinched the cat's paw, "Meiqiu, why did you get up so early today?" The voice, just after waking up, was a little hoarse and gently lazy, and it sounded like the cat was acting coquettishly to the cat.
Jing Miao looked at him silently, and his ears suddenly felt numb and hot.
Lu Zhiluan, who was used to the kitten's non-clinging nature, found that the cat did not run away or meow, but kept looking at him. He immediately felt a little strange.
He took the cat aside, pushed it, and said softly, "Go downstairs and play with Gong Xi Fa Cai by yourself."
The kitten didn't move.
Lu Zhiluan came to his senses instantly. He sat up and looked down at the kitten.
The kitten had a serious expression, and the familiar calmness and composure that was not appropriate for his age reappeared in him.
Lu Zhiluan's eyes widened. He picked up a cat toy that the kitten loved to play with and shook it in front of the kitten. He asked tentatively, "Coal balls?"
A hint of disdain flashed across the kitten's eyes. Without even looking at me, it walked straight to the pillow, curled up into a small ball, closed its eyes and went to sleep.
Double cat?
Lu Zhiluan was shocked and called the system urgently: "Tong, why is it silent again?"
The system was confused: “Huh?”
