Xia Family of Canglong Star (3)
"Director Zhuang, why did you come here in person? Did something happen?" Shi Jianxia sat opposite Zhuang Mingyue, looking a little nervous.
Zhuang Mingyue raised the window of the hovercar, blocking out any prying eyes. Hearing Shi Jianxia's uneasy tone, the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she asked, "Don't you know why I came here?"
Her attitude was very interesting. She smiled as she spoke, as if she was just chatting with a friend she hadn't seen for a long time.
Shi Jianxia knew very well that the two were not friends, but just ordinary superiors and subordinates, and there was not much affection between them.
Since she had not received any important task, Zhuang Mingyue came here with such a large group of people, which obviously could not be to reminisce about the past.
What's more, the investigators who had just surrounded her were all people with high-level abilities. They did not conceal their powerful aura at all, which was both a deterrent and a warning.
This made Shi Jianxia even more certain that his identity was likely exposed.
But before Zhuang Mingyue produced solid evidence to kill her, she must not lose her composure, otherwise she would most likely fall into her trap and get herself into trouble.
Shi Jianxia looked embarrassed, "How should I know this?"
She didn't even read the message from the intelligent computer before the assistant politely but firmly invited her to get on Zhuang Mingyue's hovercraft.
Zhuang Mingyue looked at her carefully. Such a look could easily make someone with something to hide lose their composure and reveal their flaws.
Shi Jianxia let her look at him, his expression still uneasy and nervous, which was exactly in line with the reaction of a nobody in the workplace who was suddenly visited by a top boss in person.
Zhuang Mingyue looked at her like this and suddenly laughed, saying, "My mimicry can tell if someone is lying."
These words were quite abrupt, without any preparation, but Shi Jianxia's clenched fingertips slowly loosened.
When a person reveals her cards as a threat, it means she has reached the end of her rope.
Of course, Zhuang Mingyue is not an ordinary person. We cannot disbelieve what she says, nor can we take her lightly.
And this sentence is a trap.
She couldn't ask Zhuang Mingyue if she was lying, otherwise she would be implicitly admitting that she was guessing her intentions and feeling guilty. With her sharp mind, she would definitely seize on this small flaw and press her until she revealed a bigger flaw.
"Why do you suddenly say that?" Shi Jianxia asked blankly, as if he didn't quite understand Zhuang Mingyue's intention of saying this.
Zhuang Mingyue looked at her with a smile, her tone neither hurried nor slow, "You really don't know what I mean?"
Shi Jianxia hesitated and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
It looked like innocent people who had always been law-abiding suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Zhuang Mingyue leaned back on the soft seat and carefully observed every change in Shi Jianxia's expression from a not-too-far distance.
The look he gave now was gentler than before, but the coldness and solemnity beneath that gentleness made people feel uneasy, and they couldn't help but want to confess the bad things they had done.
Shi Jianxia looked even more uneasy.
After a long silence, Zhuang Mingyue said, "When I was at the Insect Investigation Office on Shuiyuan Star, I asked you about the insect outbreak in Minghua Community. Your answers were quite standard, and my mimicry didn't give any warning that you were lying."
When she suddenly brought up the past, Shi Jianxia knew that she was going to settle the score.
Zhuang Mingyue continued, "At that time, I thought you really weren't lying, but now I think I was biased."
She didn't explain what the preconceived notion was, but instead changed the subject and mentioned Baipuxing. "Would you like to explain to me why you went to Baipuxing last week?"
Sure enough, it was the flight information that made Zhuang Mingyue suspicious of her.
It was an indisputable fact that she went to Baipu Star, and it was impossible for her to make excuses to cover it up. Moreover, she was taken directly to the headquarters of the Red Spider Lily by her father, and she did not book a ticket for the interstellar spacecraft from Baipu Star back to Nanteng Star. Zhuang Mingyue could easily find out that there was something wrong with her movements.
Zhuang Mingyue was certain that she was involved with the red spider lily, so she came directly to her house and caught her off guard.
Shi Jianxia smiled helplessly, "So that's what you're talking about. Wasn't there a seven-day holiday last week? I went to visit my aunt."
She took out the card that Yue Wuyin gave her from her space bracelet and handed it to Zhuang Mingyue.
"My cousin came to see me a while ago and said that she and my aunt had always believed that I had disappeared with my father. If I was willing, I could visit their house."
"My aunt was very kind to me when I was little. I used to think she left me to fend for myself on Shuiyuan Star because my father was missing and I was a burden to her. But after talking it over, I learned that the head of the Xia family sent me to Shuiyuan Star after my father disappeared, but told his friends that I was missing too."
At this point, she sneered, a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes, and she seemed to think it was not worth wasting her emotions on such things. She quickly gathered her expression and said bluntly: "I went to Baipu Star just to visit my aunt."
After she finished speaking, her expression was natural and her language was fluent, which did not sound like an excuse she had made up on the spur of the moment. Moreover, if Zhuang Mingyue checked, she would be able to tell whether she was lying or not.
Not to mention, Zhuang Mingyue just said that her mimicry can determine whether a person is lying.
Shi Jianxia didn't know to what extent lies could be detected, but she knew very well that this was a psychological battle. If she had a preconceived notion that Zhuang Mingyue would discover her lies, no matter what she said next would be constrained.
"You're lying," Zhuang Mingyue said firmly. He then stood up straight in an instant, raised his hand to pinch Shi Jianxia's jaw, and demanded, "Tell me, what exactly did you go to Baipu Star for?"
Her strength was so great that Shi Jianxia was pinched so hard that it hurt.
From this angle, she needed to look up at Zhuang Mingyue. The woman's eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous and extremely aggressive, and her every move and gesture showed the majesty of a superior.
Shi Jianxia suddenly chuckled. "What answer do you want? People can't prove something they didn't do. If you think I'm suspicious of something, please provide evidence instead of interrogating me here and trying to find loopholes in my logic."
She held Zhuang Mingyue's wrist. The metal buttons of her uniform were cold and sharp, revealing its owner's attitude at the moment.
Shi Jianxia used force with his index finger and thumb, and with just a small movement, Zhuang Mingyue's wrist became numb, and she took the initiative to relieve the force.
She tilted her head and gently rubbed her pinched chin. The corners of her eyes slightly raised as she looked at Zhuang Mingyue with a smile, "You are so angry, Director Zhuang! My jaw is almost dislocated."
At this time, she actually laughed, her tone teasing, as if the previous tit-for-tat didn't exist at all.
Zhuang Mingyue looked at the smile on her lips, pressed the numb and painful wrist, and said expressionlessly, "Are you not pretending to be pitiful anymore?"
"How can you call it pretending? I'm already very pitiful. My father is missing, my mother's identity is unknown, and I've been living under someone else's roof since I was a child. Now I'm on your suspect list. I could be awarded a rose gold bracelet at any moment, and stare tearfully at those heinous criminals behind bars. Is there anyone more pitiful than me?"
Shi Jianxia rested his chin on one hand, leaning against the closed floating window. "So, what exactly is the reason you suspect me of? Before you sentence me to death, at least let me die with a clear conscience."
Even now, she still insists that she is innocent.
Seeing that she didn't cry until she saw the coffin, Zhuang Mingyue stopped talking about other things and asked, "If there wasn't irrefutable evidence, do you think I would come to you?"
Shi Jianxia's expression remained unchanged, waiting for her to provide conclusive evidence.
Others may not be clear about the way that Higanbana does things, but how could Shi Jianxia not be clear about it?
She is one of the most important trump cards in the doctor's hand. The doctor would never let her leave such an obvious flaw to be discovered by the Zerg Investigation Department.
The reason for such a firm speculation is that she has not lived on Shuiyuan Star in the past ten years of her life.
'Shi Jianxia' of Shui Yuanxing is a fake, a forgery arranged by the doctor in order to prevent any loopholes from being found in her life trajectory, making it easier for her to infiltrate the Federation when necessary.
Not only her, but also No. 9 T.
Jiang Jiuhan, who was found by Jiang Yingdu, had lost his memory since childhood and was adopted by a deaf-mute couple, but in fact, he had been staying in the Red Spider Lily to undergo mimicry transformation and learn killing skills.
Even when he came to Nan Teng Star to carry out a mission and was injured and hiding in her house, Higanbana arranged for Jiang Jiuhan, the runaway young master, to meet Shi Jianxia and become good friends.
Even if Jiang Yingdu accidentally met Number Nine at Xia's house and went back to investigate, he would not be able to find any flaws.
There is a group of people in the Red Spider Lily, whose job is to clean up the mess for the Jade Card holders.
Therefore, there was no possibility of her going to Baipu Star revealing any flaws, and visiting Yue Wuyin and her daughter was the most logical reason.
"There is indeed no flaw in your movement trajectory on Baipu Star, but I received a video."
Zhuang Mingyue unfolded her intelligent brain, magnified the virtual screen, and pushed it in front of Shi Jianxia. She changed her aggressive attitude and said, "After reading this, I hope you can figure out how to argue with me."
Shi Jianxia clicked on the video as she said.
The video was a little shaky, but it was obvious that the scene was in a hover car. After waiting for a few seconds, a clear male voice appeared, and a person also appeared in the bottom-up camera.
"What number is this?"
A charming female voice replied, "I don't know about that. How about you ask her to take out the Jade Plate and show it to you?"
In the camera, Shi Jianxia's left arm is leaning on one shoulder, judging from his clothes, he looks like a man, and his right arm is leaning on one shoulder, judging from his clothes, he looks like a woman.
A section of the video was cut out, and the freckled young man, whose face was not shown, said again: "By the way, what's your number?"
She pitifully acted like a sandwich and answered obediently and honestly, "Number nine."
Shi Jianxia: "..."
Fuck your dad’s cross-dressing guy!
Seeing that she had finally stopped laughing, Zhuang Mingyue said calmly, "Number Nine, have you figured out how to quibble?"
Shi Jianxia: "..."
What is this? Is it revealed? Or is it not revealed?
