Chapter 217 Evidence
Gu Qidong thought for a moment, then poured two glasses of water. "Two years ago, Gu Zheng came to me and said he suspected the Legalists were colluding with the Zerg. He was far away in the northwest, and he hoped I could help keep an eye on him on Central Star."
"I've worked with Fa Yongxiu for many years and I know him very well. I think there must be a misunderstanding. Plus, he was the one who promoted me, so I really don't want to believe Gu Zheng's speculation."
"But I know my son. He wouldn't say that for no reason. So I started investigating, and unexpectedly... I actually found something."
Gu Qidong said this and took a sip of water. "The situation was urgent at the time, and A Zheng was far away in the northwest. Thank you for rushing back."
He Jing shook his head and suddenly remembered something, "They seemed to be looking for something at that time?"
"Yes, it's evidence of the transaction between Franan and the Zerg, but only half of it."
"half?"
"Well, I guess both parties were trying to contain each other, so the idea of convicting them of all the transactions was a bit far-fetched. So I immediately reported it to the president, but they arrived too quickly, and I only had time to hide the evidence."
"After several investigations, I came to the Zerg and found a man named Bai Keli. I eventually lurked beside him. Half a month ago, I finally had the opportunity to obtain the remaining half of the evidence."
"Then I received a new mission, which was to find the Styx base and destroy it. So I stayed in the Zerg."
"Carson's position as the Insect King was not legitimate, and Bai Keli also wanted to sit in that position. So he secretly found the Styx Base and wanted to take control of it. So he handed this matter to me and sent me to the Styx Base."
"Two days ago, he suddenly told me that he was going to the Federation to conduct a transaction, so I passed the message to Zheng, and then I received the news that you were kidnapped."
Gu Qidong patted the kitten's head somewhat stiffly, and his expression softened a little. "It's a good thing you're okay, otherwise A Zheng would have gone crazy."
He Jing buried his paws in embarrassment, "If I had adapted to him at that time, I could have just gone home and everything would have been fine..."
"I'm sorry, Xiao He. I don't have many people with me to the Zerg, so I can't rescue you directly. And this mission is very important. The agitator developed by the Zerg is becoming more and more powerful. It must be found and destroyed."
Gu Qidong rarely spoke at such length, nor did he give such detailed explanations to others. He was at a loss for a moment. "Before, I had never been able to find their core information. It wasn't until you were captured that I was able to follow the clues and find the place."
"After receiving the news, Zheng immediately brought his men here. The base is heavily defended, and this is Zerg territory, so we absolutely cannot start a war casually. We can only take a long-term approach. Finally, we found this opportunity."
Carson came secretly, keeping a low profile, but he brought only a few people with him. After several days of attempts, Yu Jin finally hacked into the base's system, while Gu Zheng and Gu Qidong dealt with the guards inside and outside respectively.
At this point, Gu Qidong completed the mission and He Jing was rescued.
He Jing was fascinated by what he heard and didn't expect the matter to be so complicated.
"Does Auntie know about these things?"
Gu Qidong's eyes softened instantly, "Keep the mission secret, but Awan will understand."
"By the way, did Awan give you anything?"
"What?" He Jing thought for a moment, "Gun?"
"You left home with nothing but a gun"
"flower?"
Gu Qidong confirmed: "Freesia?"
"Yes!" He Jing's eyes lit up. "The first generation planted the freesia. They said it was planted when you got married. They were afraid they couldn't take good care of it, so they let me take it with me! So... half of the evidence is in that pot of flowers?"
"Yes, where is that flower pot now?"
"It's in the greenhouse in Yard 1. I look at it every day. No one has touched it except me and A Zheng."
Gu Qidong forced a smile from the corner of his eyes, "Great job, thank you."
"Does A Zheng know about this thing?"
"I don't know. Before I gather all the evidence, it's safest to know nothing."
Even though Gu Zheng is already a capable federal general, to Gu Qidong, he is still a child who needs protection.
The sedative in the body began to take effect and He Jing felt drowsy.
Gu Qidong took out a small blanket and covered her gently, then placed his big palm on her back, patting it lightly.
At this moment, he was just a father.
He Jing moved closer to his legs, absorbing this very unfamiliar emotion, and her tail, like a palm-leaf fan, gently swept across the back of Gu Qidong's hand.
The spaceship traveled for a long time, and the entire border line was on alert. Si Lan kept changing the route.
Turning here and there, going around and around.
Flying lower and lower.
Finally, on a cliff, Si Lan saw the person who was going to pick him up.
It breaks through the barrier like an arrow shot from a bow, rushing out into the morning light.
All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Si Lan took the initiative to explain, "That was the child I rescued from the underground casino last year. She has lived here since she was a child and is very familiar with the defenses nearby."
Gu Zheng: "Xiao Lin Hua?"
"Yes, that's her."
Gu Zheng nodded, "Keep her safe."
"yes!"
The spacecraft went directly to the military headquarters, and Yang Ziang was already waiting at the parking lot after receiving the news.
"team leader!"
"How's it going?"
"Everything is normal. Franan has confessed everything, but he provided some evidence and insisted on accusing Fa Suicai of being the mastermind."
"What evidence? Can it lead to a conviction?"
"They were just some seductive words. All the connections between Falan and the Zerg were orchestrated by Fasui. It's probably not enough to say that Fasui was the mastermind based on these words alone."
Gu Zheng frowned when suddenly a voice came from behind him.
"There's evidence."
Yang Ziang was surprised, "Minister Gu?!"
"Well, the pot of freesia in the greenhouse in Yard 1 contains the evidence you want."
Yang Ziang and Gu Zheng looked at each other, their eyes shining like the sun: "I'll go now!"
Yang Ziang moved very quickly. Just as Gu Zheng sent the forest cat back to the dormitory, Yang Ziang came back with freesia in his arms.
Gu Qidong touched the leaves at the root of the blue plant, and then took out a small memory chip from between the leaves and the rhizome.
Then he took out another chip from the buckle of his cuff.
"These should be enough to convict the two brothers of the Fa family."
It is indeed enough, and it can be said to be irrefutable evidence.
Fasui's arrest warrant was quickly approved. Franan was suspected of treason, endangering federal security, and organizing cross-border illegal transactions. He was taken back to Central Star for trial by the new Minister of Defense and Speaker of Parliament, Gu Qidong.
The evidence found by Gu Qidong also included some names of people, including five from the Northwest Theater Command, three from the Southeast Theater Command, and twenty-one from the Central Theater Command.
High-ranking officials, nobles, and people involved at all levels were all liquidated one by one.
Underground casinos, black markets, boxing rings... all the filth hidden in the darkness was turned out.
The grand reshuffle of the federation has begun.
