Although he thought so, on the surface, Li Ming remained silent and said with a smile: "Don't hide it, I was also watching the live broadcast just now, the box of things you got from the female mercenary earlier is an important item stolen by the Investigation Research Institute, I hope you can return it." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhongli nodded, and said with the same smile: "I didn't expect that box of things to be so important, I really shouldn't have found a random place to put it just now, but it doesn't matter, it should still be there in the past, the location is under the tree where I ambushed the female mercenary just now, you can see it if you look nearby." ”

Zhongli's answer made Li Ming frown slightly, and then stretched out again, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your cooperation, I will send someone to search for it immediately, please wait a little longer, as long as you are sure that the box of things is intact, you can leave." ”

Hearing this, before Zhongli could say anything, Mu Qing, who was sitting beside him, spoke up and said coldly: "Li Ming, don't go too far!"

Li Ming shook his head and said softly: "Xiaoqing, it's not that I suspect anything, but the relationship between this matter is too big, if something goes wrong, you and I can't afford it, and even other people will be implicated, I do this for everyone's good, as long as I find that box of things, you can leave immediately, and you will never be embarrassed!"

After that, he looked at Zhongli again, showed an apologetic smile, and said, "Where the duty lies, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Hearing this, Zhongli also smiled and said, "It's okay, I understand, it's good for everyone to figure things out." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhongli's calmness made Li Ming's eyes squint slightly, he had an intuition that things were by no means as simple as the person in front of him had shown, but he couldn't find any flaws.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter, as long as you can find that box of energy crystals, all problems will be solved.

Thinking of this, Li Ming didn't do any more temptation, and directly turned on the radio, asking people to go to the location Zhongli said to look for energy crystals.

There was no doubt about the efficiency of the army's actions, but in a moment, a soldier sent the suitcase that Linda was holding earlier to Li Ming, and at the same time reported: "When we found the suitcase, the box had been opened, and the items in it were scattered all over the ground, and after collecting all of them, only these remained. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Li Ming instantly frowned, took the suitcase and opened it, then looked at Zhongli, and said with a somewhat cold expression: "Can you explain what the reason is?"

After that, Li Ming turned the suitcase, only to see that the energy crystals in the box that should have been neatly stacked were scattered, and more importantly, the quantity was obviously missing, and a rough estimate showed that it was at least nearly three-quarters less.

Originally, the energy crystals in this suitcase were not too much, but now they are missing by three-quarters all of a sudden, and the scene can be imagined, there are only a dozen scattered pieces left in the entire box, which looks very bleak, and it is no wonder that Li Ming changed his attitude in an instant.

In this regard, Zhongli also frowned, looked at Li Ming with a surprised expression, and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"You ......"

Although there was no evidence, Li Ming could conclude that Zhongli was knowingly asking, and a burst of anger suddenly rose, but then he had to force it down, because reason told him that he couldn't break out, or that it was useless to break out, except to make things more difficult to clean up.

"Ho!"

After taking a deep breath and forcibly calming himself down, Li Ming looked at Zhongli again, and said in a cold voice: "This is called energy crystallization, it is the latest new energy technology developed by my country, and it belongs to the strategic level of scientific research ......achievements.

"Wait!"

Before Li Ming could finish the rest of the words, Zhongli interrupted him and said, "I don't really understand what you mean. ”

Li Ming looked at Zhongli coldly, and said in a cold voice: "In this suitcase, there should have been fifty energy crystals, but now there are less than twenty left, don't you have anything to explain about this?"

"Explain?"

Hearing this, Zhongli frowned at first, then shook his head and said, "You mean to say that I took the energy crystals in this box?"

Regarding Zhongli's somewhat guiding words, Li Ming looked indifferent and said, "I just hope you can give a reasonable explanation!"

Hearing this, Zhongli smiled and said: "There's nothing to explain, you also watched the previous live broadcast, I only care about saving people, and I don't have the time to pay attention to any energy crystallization, I took this box and put it under the tree, as for why it became like this, I don't know very well, probably a masterpiece of a monkey or something." ”

"Monkeys?"

In order to make himself not so angry, Li Ming lifted his glasses, and then said coldly: "Do you think this reason is tenable?"

Zhongli's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a chuckle: "I don't know if I can stand or not, but I know that this matter has nothing to do with me, if there are no other questions, this question will end here, and I have to rush back to Longhai,"

"If that's the case, then I'm sorry, your trip back to Longhai is going to be canceled!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he said coldly: "This matter requires you to cooperate with the investigation until we recover all the energy crystals." ”

Zhongli shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't think you have any reason to detain me, and even if you do, you can't be the master." ”

"Really?"

Li Ming smiled coldly and said, "I've seen a lot of arrogant people like you, but in the end, I ......"

"Enough!"

Before Li Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cold drink, Mu Qing looked at him and said, "He said well, you have no reason to detain him." ”

"Xiaoqing!"

Li Ming frowned, looked at Mu Qing with a dissatisfied expression, and said: "I know that he saved your subordinates, but you can't favor him for this, I don't want to repeat the importance of energy crystallization, and now in the name of the Investigation Bureau, I am asking this person to assist in the investigation, and you can't interfere anymore." ”

"In the name of the Bureau of Investigation?"

Mu Qing glanced at him, and then said: "Before saying this, you'd better ask your superiors when he gave you the right to detain a soldier who had just fought bloodily against hostile armed forces on the battlefield!"

"You're ......!"

Mu Qing's words made Li Ming's face turn pale, but he had no choice but to turn to Zhongli and said, "Okay, you can leave, but before leaving, I will search to make sure that ......"

"Poof!"

Before Li Ming finished speaking, he heard the sound of a fabric tearing, Zhongli tore off the shirt that was half red with blood, and then took out the energy crystal that Bai Ming had given him from his pants pocket, threw it into the suitcase on Li Ming's lap, and said, "Where are you going to search?"

"Bang!"

Looking at Zhongli, who was only left with a pair of camouflage combat pants, and then looking at the vacancy of more than thirty energy crystals in the box, Li Ming closed the suitcase heavily, opened the hatch and left.
