Chapter 408 The Eve of the War 2
In recent days, the base has been searching for missing persons vigorously. Except for Qin Ye's obstruction, the person who robbed the fire was not caught, but many other murderers were caught.
Because most of them are people with special abilities, most of them will resist after being discovered, which makes it quite difficult to deal with them.
So, Yun Shuhuai came to help, using force to suppress them, and solved a lot of troubles for Tianxiang, which just happened to give them a reason to stay in the base.
In fact, the base will not make things too difficult for those who are caught. They will carefully inquire about the motives of the crime, and at most detain them for a few days or impose labor punishment or fines, and ask them never to commit the crime again. It will not be as strict as before the end of the world.
After all, these are all superpowers. As thermal weapons are used less and less, they are an important force in the base against zombies. Naturally, the base will not offend them too much.
However, as time goes by, except for Jiehuo, most of the people have been found. Due to the interference of Jiehuo, the progress of most of the remaining people has become slower and slower, and Tianxiang's mission has entered a bottleneck period.
Because the majority of the remaining people on the missing list were basically captured by Jiehuo.
All the spearheads of Tianxiang's investigation pointed to them, and they encountered many obstacles when searching for evidence and could not be directly identified.
Unfortunately, this situation will not last long. No matter how powerful Qin Ye is, the clues left by capturing so many people are not easy to eliminate.
Soon, Tianxiang found all kinds of evidence against Jiehuo from the heavy blockade and interference.
After finding it, they did not immediately go to Jiehuo to question the crime, but found Yun Shuhuai, and then went to see General Lu together.
"This is the evidence for Jiehuo to arrest people."
Liang Yi handed a sorted document to General Lu Zheng.
General Lu looked through the document carefully. It was recorded in great detail. All kinds of accusations pointed to Qin Ye. The evidence was conclusive and there was no chance for anyone to question.
After reading it, General Lu pinched his brows helplessly. He felt a headache.
He had known for a long time that this grandson of General Qin was restless, but he didn't expect him to be so courageous. How should he deal with this?
In fact, he had long suspected Qin Ye, and he had also heard of Jiehuo's "reputation" in the base. In addition to the main force, there are also various small forces attached to it.
This young master has played power to the extreme.
The reason why he did not give this task to Jiehuo was because he was afraid that they would cover up for each other, or bully others under the pretext of searching.
He chose to give it to Yun Shuhuai because they were few in number and their character was guaranteed.
Later, Tianxiang was recommended, and the task was given to them only for Yun Shuhuai's sake.
But now the spearhead of the matter is pointing to Jiehuo as expected, and he is considering whether to investigate or not.
After all, Jiehuo's size is too big, and they have many superpowers, distributed in various departments of the base. If one move is made, the whole body will be affected.
Seeing General Lu's hesitation, I guessed that he had some concerns.
But in this case, all I have to do is give him a reason that he can't refuse.
Yun Shuhuai winked at Liang Yi, who nodded and said, "General Lu, I have something else to report to you."
Lu Zheng looked up at her and said, "Please go ahead."
Liang Yi took out the missing persons list and pointed to most of the people who had not been found yet, saying, "Actually, we do have clues about these people, but we didn't report them because we had no evidence. What I want to tell you is that the remaining missing persons are all related to the fire."
"What did you say?!"
Liang Yi emphasized again, "The remaining people may have disappeared because of the fire."
General Lu looked at her in disbelief, "...you have no evidence."
"Yes, I have no evidence, but don't you think it's strange? Logically, with so many people missing, it's impossible for every one of them to have committed a perfect crime. We should have found most of them, but so far, we have tried our best to find only this little."
"I also want to tell you that during our search, we were often hindered by fires. When investigating most of the people here, we were close to finding the fires many times, but in the end, it was left unresolved for various reasons."
"Once is a coincidence, but if it is a coincidence every time, it is not a coincidence. I also know that Jiehuo is very powerful. They have penetrated into various departments of the base. However, they have also used this convenient identity to harm so many innocent people. If it is not dealt with, a disaster will sooner or later break out in the base."
After speaking, Liang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
This was what Yun Shuhuai said to encourage her, and she looked at General Lu with some trepidation.
Lu Zheng frowned the whole time. He did not expect this matter to be so complicated. He
thought this was a common incident in the base, but he did not expect that after the final investigation, he found that everyone was actually very safe, and the biggest villain was only Jiehuo.
No, it should be said that it was Qin Ye.
He just didn't believe that Qin Ye would not know that so many people disappeared.
Liang Yi did not go directly to Qin Ye but chose to come to him, which meant that she could not do anything to Qin Ye at the moment.
General Lu naturally understood Liang Yi's last words. No matter what, he had to investigate and give an explanation to the other people in the base.
He sighed and said, "Miss Yun, what do you think?"
Yun Shuhuai was drinking tea. She came only to give Liang Yi courage and had no intention of participating.
"Ah? Me?" She pointed at herself, and then said, "I'll sit on the sofa and watch."
"..."
"Okay, just kidding. If you want me to watch, just wait a little longer. After all, we haven't found any other evidence. This one piece is not enough to convict him. Even if we go to him now, he probably won't admit it. It may even accelerate the destruction of other evidence. By then, it will be impossible to identify him."
Lu Zheng nodded, "I think so too, Miss Liang, can you take the trouble to do that?"
"Of course."
"Okay, we will also assist you. It's best not to make any moves recently."
"I understand." Liang Yi said, and then she looked at Lu Zheng and said firmly: "General Lu, when the time comes, if the evidence is conclusive, I hope you will not cover up for him."
"Please rest assured, Miss Liang. If the evidence is conclusive, we will never cover up for him. We will bring him to justice for such vile behavior."
Lu Zheng sighed again after he finished speaking. Qin Ye had been protected twice because he was the grandson of General Qin, which led to other people not trusting them much.
Coming out of the military base, Liang Yi couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yun, why did you say we have to wait a little longer? In fact, we already have a lot of evidence against him, why did you tell General Lu this is the first one?"
"Didn't you notice? When we talked about Qin Ye, General Lu was obviously in a difficult situation. If we went to arrest him directly, he would probably be saved. What's more, the Jiehuo is so big, and Qin Ye's strength is currently among the best in the base. The base may not be willing to give up on him. Maybe in the end he will be put in confinement like the others, and then released after a random punishment."
"What should we do after that? Is there any meaning in continuing the investigation?"
Yun Shuhuai smiled and said, "Of course there is. Even if you can't deal with Qin Ye, this is a great opportunity for Tianxiang to flourish in the base. You continue to work hard and just wait for everyone to see your efforts. The rest will be left to Xi Ling."
"Xi...Xi Ling?" Liang Yi was surprised and said, "Didn't you and Xi Ling turn against each other?"
"Hey, didn't I tell you? Xi Ling and I are actually acting. The purpose is to set a trap for Qin Ye."
Liang Yi: "..." So straightforward.
"No? Acting? You made such a big fuss, are you acting?!" Liang Yi said in disbelief.
"Yeah, if I don't act, how can I trick Qin Ye? I guess he thinks that Xi Ling and I are at odds, which means Xi Ling has lost a helper and gained an enemy. Of course, he can't wait to take this opportunity to kill him. How could he do it when we are together?"
