Chapter 119: Space-related abilities?
"A passage leading to the safe was found on the ceiling of his room, and there were obvious cut marks on the concrete wall."
Everyone looked strange, and Saiyin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Uh..." the inquiring person hesitated, "Isn't this result a little too bizarre?"
"Strange?" Ren Cangsong glanced at it casually at first, then slammed the table and stood up, shouting: "This is simply an insult. The person who attacked clearly did it on purpose."
He pointed at Li Ming's face and said, "Not long ago, he was hailed as 'the last glory of Polytechnic University,' but now he's a suspect in the murder of Fu Zongchen. This is a naked provocation, a slap in our faces."
"Is it possible..." Someone spoke weakly in the corner. Although he didn't finish his words, everyone understood what he wanted to say.
"Well, explain to me where the gun came from, how the armor was lost, and how the things in the safe were taken out?" Ren Cangsong asked, "How did he do it?"
Chen Jinglong's face was calm, "There is no doubt that this is a frame-up."
These clues lack substantial evidence, and everyone present can find several reasons to explain them.
The key is - where is the stuff?
Li Ming is not a guy without background, he can't beat people up indiscriminately. Chen Jinglong and Xia Yuanlun who were present were both extremely biased.
"Actually, maybe he really did it." Saiyin suddenly spoke up, "If he had a spatial ability, he could do this easily."
The meeting suddenly became quiet.
"He is a genetically evolved being, how could he awaken his special powers?" Some people did not understand.
"Not necessarily." Sai Yin said meaningfully, then smiled and said, "Since arriving at Jingnan Star, this guy has purchased tens of millions worth of alloy materials, but he only takes in and never spends."
"Of course, I just said it casually, you don't have to take it seriously."
"However," he paused, "I do have a special ability detection device here. If you need it, I can lend it to you."
Professor Xia frowned. "What do you mean? Do you really doubt Li Ming? There's not a single example of a spatial ability in the entire Silver Star Cluster."
"As for those materials, I purchase hundreds of millions and even billions of them every year and have them in stock. Is that a problem? He mentioned before that he was building a Class C heavy mecha and shared his concept with me."
Professor Xia snorted coldly: "Forget ten million Flame Blue Alloy, he couldn't even refine thirty million, not to mention the money he wasted."
"You guys are upset because Yuko is dead, so you want to mess with Li Ming too?"
"I'm just offering an idea." Saiyin raised his hands in surrender. "Don't be angry. Besides, we can find out by doing a blood test."
Ren Cangsong's eyes were deep. He knew about the materials and all the people below him who needed to be investigated had already been investigated.
But he also knew that Li Ming loved mechanics and often went to Professor Xia.
Chen Jinglong remained calm. "Your Excellency Saiyin is right. Since you have suspicions, you must confirm this matter."
"But..." Chen Jinglong said, "After this incident, we will combine the Fu Zongchen case with the You Ke case for investigation. I hope Mr. Saiyin has no objection."
When the cases were put together, everyone was slightly moved.
This is really going to be a disaster. The special investigation team of the Itlan civilization is about to arrive. If we don't give them a scope of investigation, who knows where they will go.
In particular, there were people from the Baijan prince among them.
Saiyin followed up with, "Then what about my previous suggestion."
"Using Li Ming to fish is absolutely unacceptable!" Xia Yuanlun said firmly, "Torch has already killed Yuko. It's only because Li Ming lives in seclusion that he hasn't been targeted."
"How could Yuko have ever left the house without permission? Even inside the embassy, he was still killed. Is Wu Yanqing's laboratory really a place with a high level of security?"
Saiyin emphasized: "Also, whether Yuko was killed by Huoju is still uncertain, and Huoju is only a key suspect."
"I will consider this matter." Chen Jinglong suddenly spoke, leaving Xia Yuanlun stunned and hesitant to speak.
………
Two days later, Li Ming was developing gene seeds, but was rarely interrupted by Luo Chuan.
He looked solemn, closed the door of the training room, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me honestly, is Fu Zongchen's death related to you?"
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat, but after all, he was a seasoned tightrope walker. He remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he wondered, "How could it be me?"
"Brother, why do you ask that?"
"Ren Cangsong is here, and he is followed by a large group of people, including Chen Jinglong and several professors." Luo Chuan looked worried and stared at Li Ming.
Li Ming was also a little nervous. He probably guessed that his traces of going to the safe had been exposed, but that was all.
"They won't force me to be the murderer, right?" Li Ming asked nervously.
"The dean said that as long as you are not the murderer, nothing will happen." Luo Chuan looked solemn.
Li Ming's expression was slightly tense. "You want to check my memory?"
"Impossible. Checking your memory is the same as destroying you. The dean will never agree to it." Luo Chuan shook his head, which also gave Li Ming a reassurance.
"I believe they will clear my name." Li Ming said firmly, and at the same time opened the smart terminal and sent several messages.
Luochuan didn't think Li Ming was the murderer, but Ren Cangsong's large-scale attack made him feel a little shaken.
When we arrived at the reception room, it was full of people, and all of them were important people.
"Dean..."
"professor…"
"General..."
Li Ming greeted everyone one by one, looking like a good boy.
"Come, sit down." Ren Cangsong looked kind, but seemed a little helpless.
"I originally promised you that I would never come to you again about this matter after I got out, but I found new evidence and I really need to verify it."
Ren Cangsong scrolled through the photos, showing him the concrete stones and passages in the room.
“…The safe was robbed, and the passage leads directly to your room.” He said, staring at Li Ming.
Li Ming looked down, frowning. It was indeed because of these marks.
The traces of his visit to the safe could not be completely erased, and it was surprising that he had been able to delay it until now.
"I definitely haven't been there." Li Ming shook his head, his expression too flustered and fake. He explained in a deep voice, "I stayed in that room for no more than ten hours. Does the general really think I can do so many things?"
"...As for the room temperature, it can be created by any means. Using that to convict me is a bit too much."
By the end, his tone had become quite impolite.
Ren Cangsong was not angry. It was right to be dissatisfied. No one would be happy to be treated as a suspect.
His original intention of coming here was not to investigate this matter, but just to give Li Ming a reason. This guy has the potential for development at level 16, which is shocking to him himself. He is sure to be unstoppable in the future.
He also didn't want this kid to think that he was targeting him.
"I understand. Don't worry. If it really wasn't you, we will definitely not wrongly accuse you." Ren Cangsong comforted him, and then asked someone to bring in a large instrument that looked very sophisticated.
"So, I need to take some of your blood to verify it."
The staff came up with a test tube.
Taking blood again? Li Ming secretly adjusted the control object, so that his development speed blessing remained at eight times.
Then squeeze out a drop of blood and drop it into the test tube.
As the testing equipment started to work, everyone present seemed to become more serious.
Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour passed, but there was still no result.
No one spoke during the period, as everyone's attention was focused on the results. It was not until the instrument stopped working and the staff went up to fiddle with it for a while before turning around.
Facing the attention, he shook his head and said, "Everything is normal, he is not a superpower."
Li Ming was stunned, and then he suddenly realized that he suspected that he was a person with superpowers.
Xia Yuanlun let out a long sigh, then snorted coldly.
Ren Cangsong's solemn expression also relaxed. Since it was certain that Li Ming was not a person with superpowers, there was no need to worry too much about the materials.
Otherwise, if we ask to search this laboratory again, there might be a big mess.
"This is a new direction of investigation. If there is anyone with spatial abilities among those present, it would be possible to pull off this incredible assassination and theft." Ren Cangsong explained.
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully. They had already reached the point of suspecting that he was a person with spatial abilities. They really couldn't find out anything.
At this moment, someone hurried over and said a few words in Ren Cangsong's ear.
Although the voice was extremely low, most of the people present who were not evolvers could hear it clearly.
"Qi Zhan, the Minister of Central Intelligence, has arrived with a large number of officials."
Ren Cangsong's face changed slightly, and he felt a headache. He couldn't help but look at Li Ming, "You kid."
Li Ming helplessly spread his hands, "We agreed on this when we left, there's nothing I can do."
Just as he finished speaking, a group of people arrived in a hurry. The leader was Qi Zhan, with a stern expression. Behind him followed Qi Xing and most of the officials present that day.
"General Ren, didn't we agree on this when we left? Once we leave that door, you are no longer allowed to use Fu Zongchen's case to investigate any of us." Qi Zhan came straight to the point without any politeness.
He glanced at the instrument in the room and recognized it, so he had a rough idea of what it was.
"The investigation team has new evidence..." Ren Cangsong frowned, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone beside Qi Zhan, who said bluntly:
"Okay, since this matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated yet, let's all stop what we're doing for now."
"The City Guard's prison, the Intelligence Bureau's office, or some department's secret bunker. General, pick a place and we can go there on our own."
Today there is new evidence to investigate one person, and tomorrow there is new evidence to investigate another person. When will the investigation end?
"Are you questioning me?" Ren Cangsong said coldly.
"The general is confused. Doesn't he know how much trouble this will cause if he continues the investigation?" someone said in a deep voice.
Ren Cangsong took a deep breath. This was why he was tired of politics. He stood up suddenly. The room suddenly became quiet, and he said, "I promise, this is the last time."
"General, you have already promised me once." Qi Zhan looked at him without any fear.
Li Ming was frightened. Qi Zhan was really fierce. If he were Ren Cangsong, he would have slapped him in the face a long time ago.
However, Ren Cangsong is not a lonely man. He has a large family and many grandchildren.
"What do you want to do?" Ren Cangsong's brows were furrowed with veins.
"Disband the investigation team." Qi Zhan uttered a few words.
He had known for a long time that there was an investigation team, but he had no way to intervene. The Li Ming incident was an opportunity, and he had to put an end to it.
Ren Cangsong's eyelids twitched, and he was really angry: "Qi Zhan, you want to disband the investigation team so much, could it be that you are the mastermind behind the assassination of Fu Zongchen?"
"Evidence." Qi Zhan spat out two words.
Seeing that Ren Cangsong could no longer hold it in, Li Ming moved to the side, fearing that the blood would splash on him. He also secretly gave Qi Xing a thumbs up - your father is really awesome.
"The death of Fu Zongchen and the death of You Ke will be investigated together from now on." Chen Jinglong suddenly spoke.
Everyone present was smart and understood the meaning of this sentence in an instant - they were really going to fall into the hands of the torch.
Qi Zhan frowned slightly. Through this incident, he could really turn the temporary political alliance into a small group, but it was impossible for him to really disband the investigation team.
He immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Since it has been confirmed that it was the torch that did it, that's the best."
Fu Zongchen's death, the theft of the mecha, and the theft of the safe are about to become completely unsolved cases.
Li Ming understood clearly that what he had said before was for the public, not the real thoughts of the top management.
Only now have the top management admitted their mistakes and accepted the bitter consequences.
Ren Cangsong left with a sullen face. Qi Xing said hello to Li Ming. Li Ming had just informed Qi Xing and asked him to tell his father, which led to this incident.
Chen Jinglong did not leave. After seeing off Xia Yuanlun and others, he asked Li Ming to accompany him for a walk.
"It was Saiyin who suspected you of having superpowers." Chen Jinglong was very good at cultivating his Qi and said slowly, "I will follow the trend and put an end to this matter."
Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but ask, "Dean, what if, I mean what if, they really detect supernatural powers in me, what should we do?"
"No big deal." Chen Jinglong chuckled. "Who would offend me, Wu Yanqing, Xia Yuanlun, or a person with level 16 development potential just for a dead person?"
"Prince Baijan has Princess Asmara to support him."
"However, a genetically evolved person possessing superpowers, you should know that this matter is far more troublesome than Fu Zongchen's death." Chen Jinglong added: "Fortunately, you don't have it."
Li Ming remained silent. The death of Fu Zongchen was neither important nor unimportant.
It was not even as big as the tiny wave that Chen Jinglong said the latter had caused.
"I want to suppress this matter, and I don't want it to cause too much trouble." Chen Jinglong mentioned another matter: "Torch is making a big move."
"Hmm?" Li Ming looked up.
"When I was investigating Bian Heng's death, I stumbled upon a few Torch seeds. After further investigation, I discovered that since two months ago, Torch members have been sneaking into Jingnan through various means."
"Two months ago?" Li Ming pondered, "When Sera started to build momentum."
"Well, Torch is incredibly sensitive to events like this. If there's an opportunity to intervene, they'll make early arrangements." Chen Jinglong nodded, a hint of worry on his face. "I have a vague feeling they're planning something big, something truly big."
"Especially with the recent events that have happened one after another, with the arrival of the Itlan investigation team and the arrival of the Sera royal family, Jingnan has become the most eye-catching place in the Silver Star Cluster in recent years."
Li Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "Dean, tell me these things..."
"The Torch Seeds know very little. I want to capture a few real Torch members." Chen Jinglong looked at Li Ming with a dim gaze.
Li Mingfu suddenly understood, "You want to use me to fish?"
Damn, this dean looks kind, but he is actually full of bad intentions.
The torch won't kill me. In their opinion, I'm already addicted to the gentle world and can't be fished out!
Wait... something like that.
Li Ming's mind raced, and he seemed to have some idea. He suddenly looked embarrassed: "Dean, it's not that I don't want to, but the risk is really too great."
"You also know that I have great potential. As long as I stay calm, I will become a big shot sooner or later."
