Chapter 44: Enlightenment
"These are the best escape routes I've deduced, but with all due respect......"
Half an hour later, there were already a few more conspicuous yellow lines on the virtual map on the desk, Ye Nan straightened up again, and said to Douglas: "Now that the golden time for the pursuit has been missed, I don't have much hope for it." ”
As a rule of thumb, the twelve hours after the enemy begins to flee is the prime of pursuit, and once this period is exceeded, the success rate drops rapidly to a pitiful level, as he believed General Douglas knew.
Douglas didn't speak, just lowered his head and entered the permission on the screen, and sent out this new pursuit plan, before raising his head and looking at Ye Nan who was standing in front of him.
"I can't tell you what's in the box because of permissions, but I can tell you that the Federation will do whatever it takes to get it!"
Douglas pressed his temple with his hand, rubbed it vigorously, and continued in a deep voice: "So even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, we still have to do it, and if we get that thing a day earlier, we will be more active!" ”
Ye Nan was silent, he understood the choices of the big guys very well, but he couldn't help much in the next work, so he wanted to try it from another angle, and the entanglement with Yao Chan made his nerves completely relaxed, and finally grasped the key to the problem.
"General, there may be another way to do this......
"You mean Tarot City?"
Douglas had obviously listened to Melbourne's report, so he didn't feel the slightest surprise, "I have already informed Huo Zhenling of the 183rd Division, he knows what to do!" ”
"I'm not just talking about this ......"
Ye Nan lowered his head, clicked a few times on the screen on the desktop, and called up Anton's full-body portrait, "I want to investigate this person carefully, there is likely to be a secret ...... behind him that affects the security of the Federation."
"Oh? Tell me about ......"
"Here's the way it is......"
Ye Nan soon raised all the questions that had been lingering in his heart, and then made a conclusion.
"I never believed that an ordinary orphan could do this, so I suspected that there was an organization behind him...... A huge organization supported by outside forces! ”
Douglas's eyes narrowed, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and Anton on the virtual screen began to slowly turn, looking like a mechanical doll.
"What do you need?"
Ye Nan's explanation was very clear and the basis was obvious, so Douglas quickly made a decision.
"A-level clearance!"
Ye Nan replied very simply: "If my guess is correct, then I need to inquire about a lot of information......
"I'll give it to you!"
Douglas replied with the same crispness, showing the decisive military style, "Of course, you know what you can check and what you can't ......."
"Thank you, General! Subordinates understand! ”
Douglas waved his hand, signaling that Ye Nan didn't have to be polite, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Major Yao of the Investigation Department will cooperate with you in action!" ”
"Huh?"
Ye Nan was stunned for a moment, almost didn't jump up directly, thinking to himself what was going on, could it be that this old man was worried that Lao Tzu's investigation of the case was too monotonous, and deliberately arranged this beauty for himself to relieve his loneliness? How unscientific is this?
"Ahh
That strange smile appeared on Douglas's face again, and Ye Nan's heart suddenly "suddenly", and he once again had a bad feeling.
"How can you find out such a big case alone?"
Douglas's smile flashed, and he turned his face and reprimanded: "I have seen your file, with your popularity, other investigators have cooperated with you at all, and Major Yao is the most suitable candidate!" ”
"Yes!"
Ye Nan saluted and answered cleanly, but the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out the strangeness of it, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
"If it's true as you say, I'm afraid that organization has gotten the word by now......"
Douglas obviously didn't mean to continue to explain to Ye Nan, and returned to work again as soon as the tone changed, "How are you going to deal with it?" ”
"I'm not going to do it right away, at least give them some time to react!"
Ye Nan's heart sank, and he quickly cleared those distracting thoughts, and responded loudly: "Maybe they have a secret channel to contact Anton, and they can help us find that box!" ”
Douglas nodded approvingly, didn't say anything, and directly waved his hand to let Ye Nan leave, it is important to track down the spy organization, but in the current situation, finding the box is the most important thing!
Looking at Ye Nan's background, Douglas's eyebrows were raised, a strange smile appeared on his face again, and he reached out and pressed the communicator, "Raise Ye Nan's investigation authority of the Investigation Department to Level A...... Also, help me send a letter to Commander Yao Mingyu of the First Fleet, asking him to contact me sometimes...... It's a private matter! ”
Ye Nan and Douglas guessed correctly, the matter in Rio City has indeed spread.
Not many people know about what happened in Deyou Building, but the subsequent A-level alarm woke up the entire city, and in the modern era of extremely developed Internet, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to hide such news.
Before dawn, the news spread throughout the entire Rog Star, and in this state, it was difficult for the base to know about it.
On the top floor of the Interstellar Mining Company building in Cali, southwest of Tarot City, the president's office was silent, and the atmosphere was as oppressive as the eve of a storm.
Anna Cali sat upright in a tall chair, her pretty face tensed and her pale blue eyes flickering as she stared at the short, middle-aged man standing at the table.
"Ohno! That's how you do it? ”
"President, I've activated all the inside lines, but I can only get this news for the time being......"
Onomura Yoshishi lowered his head, and his originally small height became more and more short, if it weren't for the bald head on the top of his head and gray hair, he looked like a schoolboy who had made a mistake.
"The only thing that is certain now is that someone must have survived, the 179th Division has all been dispatched, and the boxes must have been brought out......"
"Where are the people? And where is the stuff? ”
Anna didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately interrupted Ohno's words in a cold voice, and the white hands on the table suddenly burst out with cyan meridians.
"Do you want me to report to HQ like that?"
Onomura Yoshi's body trembled slightly, and his head lowered again, but he didn't speak, but a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
He had a reason to be angry.
In terms of qualifications and abilities, the person sitting in that position should be him Onomura Yoshi, but Anna's surname has changed everything, and the Cali Interstellar Company is originally owned by the Anna family, so she naturally became his superior.
After working with Anna for nearly ten years, Onomura Yoshichi naturally knows how domineering this woman is, and it is not a wise choice to provoke her at this time.
As the number two person in the base's Crane branch, Onomura knew about the box even before Anna.
According to Yoshichi Onomura, such an important thing must be grabbed at the first opportunity, so it is recommended to launch a surprise attack on the A3 Mine Star, even if it is at some cost.
But Anna didn't agree to do this, she had to report to the headquarters first, and then act according to the orders of the headquarters, and then things became the way they were.
Procedurally speaking, Anna's decision is not wrong, but it does not mean that it is correct, and after an accident, not only is she unable to solve it, but she sprinkles her anger on her subordinates, which is even more unreasonable!
That hatred in Onomura Yoshi's heart!
If it was according to his plan, the spaceship carrying the box would have left the Crane Federation at this time, although the aftermath would be troublesome, but it would be better than now, wouldn't it?
Thinking of the previous incident, the hatred in Onomura Yoshi's heart became stronger, so his head hung even lower.
"Baga! This stinky who doesn't understand P ......"
