More than a month has passed since the battle between Morningstar and Ronald, and the Botanist, which was originally only used as a scientific research and exploration ship, has now become a venue for various forces to set up a stage and sing.

The conference room of the botanist was densely packed with representatives from all sides. In the open space at the end of the room, a holographic projection of the location of the incident was being analyzed by experts from the Empire. There were more than a dozen people sitting around the conference table, each from the Republic, the Empire, and the Alliance's incident handling team. They became calm after the initial argument, and chose to whisper to their own personnel in the face of the projections they had watched many times. The staff of the botanist were sitting around the conference room, waiting for the questions of these people. In addition to these related people, the news media with a keen sense of smell also flexed their skills and managed to get a place in this overcrowded conference room.

The Empire's investigative team is responsible for all matters related to the incident as a third party. After analyzing, discussing, and summarizing, a resolute middle-aged man walked to the conference table.

Spreading out a few pages of paper with various opinions, the middle-aged man began his concluding remarks: "Engaged in the investigation of the discovery site has studied the holographic projection, we have summarized the following points. First, the cause of death of the three deceased at the scene is certainly from the same weapon, and judging from the traces, it should belong to the standard long knife equipped by the military of the Republic. Second, by analyzing the wounds of corpses, we have come to the conclusion that all the wounds should have been made by the same person, a human who had mastered the art of killing. Thirdly, through the blood stains left at the scene, we made a genetic comparison, and in addition to the three dead, there was also a Morning Star, a combatant from the Republic. Fourth, there are a large number of high-quality crystals on site, and everyone here should know their value. Fifth, the missing person Morning Star must have suffered serious trauma, and from the analysis of the human tissue left at the scene, it should have been caused by long-range shooting, and the results of the analysis are consistent with the Alliance's standard sniper rifles. Therefore, we preliminarily deduce that the four of them had a dispute over the ownership of the crystal, and after the fight, three people on the alliance side died and one person went missing in the Republic. But ......"

"You nonsense, you bad old man, there's no way Brother Morningstar can kill people for these tattered crystals! Hmm......" The middle-aged man was rudely interrupted in the middle of his sentence. Everyone searched for prestige, and saw a teenage blonde girl covered her mouth by the captain of the Botanist.

The middle-aged man's face was still resolute, and he didn't pay attention to the noisy little girl. Knocked lightly on the table, and said loudly: "I understand your feelings very well, understand your trust in friends, but please also give us full trust, we will fully and objectively investigate and infer this incident." The middle-aged man sorted out the paper in his hand, took another report from the assistant's hand, and resumed his cold voice and said, "Next, I will raise a few doubts for you." According to information provided by the crew of the Botanist, the subject, Morningstar, used a personal terminal from the Republic Penguin Company and never left him, and there are video footage showing that Morningstar was wearing this terminal when he left the landing camp. After our communication with Penguin, we were able to obtain the means to track this terminal, however, nothing was gained. There are only two reasonable explanations for the fact that there are only two reasonable explanations for the terminal tracking method, one is the devastating destruction of the terminal, and the other is the powerful shielding facility. ”

There was a young man in a suit and leather shoes in the alliance investigation team sitting at the conference table, slamming his hands on the table and shouting excitedly: "This unexplored planet, where does the shielding facility come from!" It must be this murderer who is a thief and takes the initiative to destroy the terminal, the killer! Butcher! Loss of humanity ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man: "Please calm down this gentleman from the alliance, this is just a hypothesis given by our investigation team, and it is not necessarily accurate, please don't affect the judgment of everyone here with subjective emotions." The cold eyes and deep voice made the young man's heart tremble, and he sat down unwillingly but helplessly.

Seeing that the conference room was quiet again, the middle-aged man continued to speak: "According to the usual practice, for such fighters who go out on special missions, both the Republic and the Alliance have provisions for them to install tracking devices. The tracking device on the Morning Star, without any signal feedback, should be the same as the situation of the personal terminal. However, the three combatants who died on the Coalition side were not equipped with tracking devices in their combat suits, and we cannot infer the reason, so this can only be recorded as an irrational factor. Analyzing the location of the three Allied combatants at the site of the fire, Dante died in a sniper position 100 meters away from the other two, holding a sniper rifle in his hand with traces of fire, and the damage suffered by Morning Star should have been from Dante's long-range shooting. The investigation team believes that Dante was ready to shoot before the conflict occurred. The middle-aged man looked around and saw that the expressions of the people in the room were different, and they seemed to have their own interpretations of this message. put away the awe-inspiring momentum, his voice became relatively calm, and he said slowly: "The above is the preliminary summary and inference of the investigation team on the information collected at the scene, and does not represent the final result. Before that, I would like to express my personal opinion, which does not represent any attitude on the part of the Reich. Clearing his throat, the middle-aged man continued: "I have been to the scene of the incident many times, and there is a suspicion that I have never figured out, if the two sides really have a conflict because of these crystals, then why didn't Morning Star transfer the crystals after he succeeded, even if he was injured, at least a few corpses should be taken away from the scene of the incident, so as to hide this huge wealth." ”

Hearing these personal opinions of the middle-aged man, several investigators on the alliance side looked ugly, and wanted to open their mouths to say something, but they couldn't find a reason to refute in a hurry. They all snorted coldly and stopped making a sound.

"The follow-up investigation will continue, and we will provide you with all the results. The media friends present can make all the details of the day available to the public, but if you want to follow up, please don't read too much into the events. Meeting! "Middle-aged people have a lot of experience in engaging with the media, and they promise a blank check that is difficult to give up, and at the same time make a slight threat, so that these media people dare not talk nonsense.

……

The meeting room, which had been overcrowded, was empty soon after, leaving only a few botanist crew members sighing at the projection of the scene of the incident. Captain Tina gently hugged Ellie, whose eyes were red and swollen, and didn't know what to say to comfort this fierce little Lori. Ellie raised her head and asked in an already slightly hoarse voice, "Sister Tina, is Brother Morningstar really going to kill for these crystals?" Tina didn't know what to say to Elle, her knowledge of Morningstar was not limited to contact on the ship, and Tina was 100% sure that Morningstar was responsible for the deaths of three Alliance security personnel. The few footprints left on the scene are indisputably the traces left by the continuous use of shadow steps, except for the morning star, only the "he" who is far away in the capital of the republic can do it. Sighing lightly, Tina rubbed Ellie's little face and said, "Don't let other people's words affect your own judgment, what kind of person your Morning Star brother is, you have your own judgment in your heart!" ”

The participants who had finished the meeting returned to their rooms. And the busiest of them are reporters from various media, and reporting such explosive news as soon as possible will bring huge benefits to the forces to which they belong. I wanted to write a sprinkled report, but I was afraid because of the last warning of the middle-aged man, and after weighing the pros and cons, I invariably chose a conservative attitude. Contrary to the busyness of others, in the room of the Botanist, which originally belonged to Morning Star, there is a beprising blonde woman holding a crystal glass and sipping fine wine.

As if satisfied with the taste of the liquid in the cup, the blonde lightly opened her red lips and said to herself: "Well, the girl under the moon from Haynes has a good eye, little one." As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the room was opened. A slender figure dodged in and quickly closed the door. When the blonde saw the visitor, she smiled slightly, still holding the wine in her hand and tasting it carefully. The person who came was none other than Tina, the captain of the Botanist, whose originally beautiful face was now blushing and angry, looking at the blonde with cold eyes, and her breath was slightly short.

"You're still in the mood to drink here, and you're still drinking Morningstar's!" Tina looked at the blonde as if she had nothing to do, and reprimanded her in anger.

The blonde looked at the angry Tina, she liked it very much, her figure flashed, and she came to Tina, wrapped her arms, hugged the beauty in front of her into her arms, and touched her upturned buttocks with both hands. He didn't forget to say a smile in his mouth: "Beauty, are you angry or seducing me, so cute." ”

Tina, who was suddenly attacked, was shocked, and hurriedly pushed the blonde away, tidied up her slightly messy clothes, took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, and said in an indifferent voice: "I'm not in the mood to joke with you, and please respect yourself, you know our identity, we are all his people in the future, so you are not afraid that he will be angry?"

Seeing that Tina had rejected her, the blonde turned around and picked up the wine glass that had just been placed on the table, took a sip, and replied, "You said that little one?" He's not going to be angry, and he's going to love it. ”

"He's been missing for more than a month, and there's no news, you can still be so calm, do you want to help!" Tina was slightly angry when she heard the blonde say this. The "he" in their mouths undoubtedly refers to the missing Morning Star.

"It's useless to be in a hurry about this matter, don't you think it's weird? The three idiots must have died at the hands of the little one, although he may have been injured, but there was no body near the place of the incident, so he must have left or been rescued. The blonde continued to sip the wine in her glass, and replied in a calm voice.

When Tina saw that the blonde was still this calm and breezy appearance, she was even more angry, her voice raised a few degrees, and she roared angrily: "Be rescued!" What do you think, this is an unopened wild land, our scientific research team, where are there still people! As soon as the words fell, tears also fell.

The blonde looked at Tina, who was raining with pear blossoms, and felt a little unbearable, put away her calm attitude, hugged Tina again, gently rubbed Tina's shoulders, and comforted: "I've been to the scene, and there is a stream of blood that stretches intermittently into the depths of the forest. I've tested it, and it's for the little guys. It wouldn't have been dragged away and eaten by the beast, otherwise there would have been no other three corpses left, and they must have been rescued. For her own flawed inference, the blonde's heart is also up and down. The interval of those blood stains is very regular, and there is a relatively obvious blood stain more than ten meters. From the first sight of these marks, the blonde formed a picture in her mind, a blurred shadow holding the badly injured Morning Star, and a few jumps disappeared into the depths of the forest. But these are only optimistic inferences, and it is not clear what the truth is.

Tina couldn't hear the loopholes in the blonde's words, but she was haggard, so she could only hold on to the ethereal hope and forcibly accept the blonde's analysis. Calming down, Tina apologizes to the blonde. With a palm, he slapped away the hand that had climbed onto his buttocks again, sat on Morning Star's bed, stroked the folded boxy quilt, and muttered, "You must live." ”

"Don't worry, that little guy is very hard, when I was a child, in order to train him, I often beat him to death, and the next day he can always continue to pester me." The blonde picked up her glass again, shook the liquid in it, and looked at the starry sky outside the ship, lost in thought.

Tina, who was sitting on the bed of the morning star, saw the blonde become silent, and said loudly: "You should plan carefully, those investigation teams of the alliance are not good, the ship they are on is just a transport ship on the surface, but I have analyzed his internal structure, this ship is transformed from a Zeus-class battleship, and it is likely that there is powerful firepower hidden inside." ”

The blonde turned around, raised her head and drank the liquid from the glass, put down the glass, unbuttoned her back with her backhand, and the light blue dress fell to the ground, wearing sexy underwear, and walked towards Tina step by step. Tina, who was on the bed, jumped to the door, looked at this perfect body that even she was reluctant to look away, and asked, "What are you doing?" Don't mess around! ”

The blonde didn't pounce as Tina imagined, but went straight to the bed, pulled the quilt over herself, sniffed deeply, blushed, and said to herself, "I miss it so much!"

"Slut!" Tina, red-faced, slammed the door angrily, leaving the blonde with a wicked smile on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.
