"I don't doubt Rick, but I have ironclad evidence," the two in front of him are the core figures of the institute, and Charles does not hide it from them, "The deputy head of the Chinese delegation is our person, and he has given me a lot of valuable information, including Rick's identity in China." ”

"As for why Kelly trusted him so much before, I think in addition to Rick's ability to drill camp, there are also some unexpected factors."

"Is it April Fool's Day?" George Mather smiled, "Deputy head of the Chinese delegation, you said it was our people?" ”

"Yes, Doctor," Charles nodded, "and if you need to confirm this, I can take you to him right now and hear what he has to say to you personally." ”

"Really?" George Mather fell into deep thought, "Can you guarantee that there is no problem with his message?" It could also be a discord meter. ”

"I don't know where Rick got the news from, but he escaped just as our men went to arrest him, so I suspect there are his accomplices among our people at base." Charles continued, "That's why I'm suspicious of Hill and King, because they had been in private contact with a key suspect in the Chinese delegation. ”

"You go on," Mario's expression suddenly became solemn, he didn't suddenly suspect Shangciel and Kim because of Charles's words, but he was worried when he thought of Martin just now.

Martin saw Rick's feelings in his eyes, and he had tried hard to facilitate this marriage, and now that Charles told him that Rick was a spy, Dr. Mario's emotions began to become complicated.

"It's a good thing Martin isn't here, but it's something she needs to deal with," Dr. Mario thought to himself.

"One of the people in the Chinese delegation who had infiltrated our data center building and also had access to the database where the servers were stored was Liu Jiajun, and I had heard that Hill and Kim were having a good conversation in the dining room, and that was not long before he went to the data center building."

"Is that so?" George Mather's brow furrowed, "Did we lose anything in our database?" ”

"No, every hard drive that stores data is equipped with tracking and positioning equipment, and as soon as it is taken out of the direction of the data hall, our security system will receive an early warning. Just because he didn't take the hard drive doesn't mean he didn't copy the data. The reason I suggest to you to suspend or cancel the conference is that our undercover agent in China brought me Rick's information, and the next moment Rick got the information that his identity was exposed, and he escaped from the base in a hurry. In the parking lot, there were even people and cars that picked him up. ”

"It's getting a little complicated," George Mather said, glancing at Mario, both of whom looked very solemn.

"One of my subordinates, the elite of the SRT team, died while tracking this matter, and it is very likely that the person who killed him was the same Liu Jiajun I mentioned earlier."

"Mario, what do you think?" George Mather asked Mario.

"I don't think the things in the conference should be affected by this, and I need to be with you now," Mario said as he prepared to leave the room.

"Where are you going, Doctor?" Charles asked.

"Don't be so suspicious, Charles," Mario smiled helplessly at him, "I'm going to find my colleague and assistant Martin." ”

"I also agree with Dr. Mario's idea that the exchange conference should not be affected," George Mather nodded, "We are holding this conference in the hope of gathering the world's elite to break through the problem of extraterrestrial writing, and now the scientific research progress is stuck in this place and there is no progress. The things you just mentioned are important, but I think that in the current situation, everything should give way to the problem of breaking through the text. ”

"If the actual purpose and all the information of this conference are clearly understood by the Chinese people because of Rick and Liu Jiajun, then will the conference still be meaningful?" Charles asked rhetorically.

"Even if the Chinese side knows, if they have the ability to decipher the content of the text, it will be a blessing for the whole world." George Mather explained to him, "Compared to our country, China is far behind in terms of technology and economy, and even if they can decipher information from outside the atmosphere, they don't have the ability to turn that information into help for their own country's progress." So the end result will only be cheaper than the most powerful country on the planet, which is us. ”

"I don't really understand what you mean, Doctor."

"Charles, I don't know if you have heard a Chinese proverb, called 'The husband is innocent and guilty', some good things can be used and protected." George Mather nodded at him.

"I see what you mean," Charles nodded, but his face was still worried, "but everything is subject to change, and if the direction of things is not in our hands, we can't decide what it ultimately does." ”

"What's in it for us to suspend or terminate the conference?" George Mather asked again.

Charles was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Mario leaves the conference room, where he finds Martin in another place where he was experimenting.

"Martin," Mario beckoned to her.

Martin was taking the researchers such as Hill and Kim to prepare for the next experiment, and when she saw Mario calling out to herself, she stopped what she was doing and asked the researchers who were assisting her to rest a little.

"What's the matter, Mario?" Martin asked, walking over to him.

Mario glanced at the others behind Martin, smiled at them, and pulled Martin outside the lab.

"Martin, I want to talk to you about Rick," Mario said.

Martin's face flushed, he didn't expect Mario to suddenly mention Rick, "I thought you had something to discuss with me." I...... My relationship with Rick is only ..... just ....... ”

"It's not convenient to say here," Mario saw that people passed by in the hallway from time to time, and motioned for Martin to follow him to the next lounge, which was relatively empty and there was no one in it at this time.

"I'm going to pour you a cup of tea," Martin said to the lounge and walked towards the water dispenser, ready to pour Mario a cup of hot tea, "The coffee here is much worse than the one in the café over there, only the tea can barely be eaten." ”

"No, just pour yourself a glass," Mario said as he stared at Martin's back, wondering how to speak.

"Martin, can you tell me what you think of Rick?" When Martin poured his tea and turned around, Mario asked suddenly.

"You should be able to tell," Martin smiled, "remember what you said to me from the Paheoch Lookout in the Everglades?" Thanks to your enlightenment, I have finally discovered something that I had missed. ”

"Well," Mario nodded, "I'm going to tell you about Rick." ”

"What's wrong with him?" Martin noticed that there was something wrong with Mario's expression, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, "Did something happen to him?" ”

"Charles told me he was a spy for China," Martino knew that his lieutenant had a secret affection for Rick, and he was originally very optimistic about the two men, but after learning Rick's true identity, he knew that he had to tell Martin the news earlier.

The love network is bottomless, and the longer you stay in it, the deeper you will fall.

"It's impossible," Martin shook his head, "Charles......, he came to the institute with the security power in his hands, I don't know why he would slander Rick like this, Rick has no idea of competing with him for power at all." ”

"It's not what you think, Martin," Mario explained to her, "I didn't believe Charles, but there was an undercover agent who had been lurking in China for many years and followed their delegation back to our homeland, and he brought back information about Rick's true identity. ”

"Undercover? Who? Martin still didn't believe Rick could be a spy, "Mario, do you remember when we first arrived in Houston, Rick was here that way, and I fought alongside him to deal with that mysterious man in Huaguo. If Rick is a spy of Huaguo, why would he send someone to assassinate his own compatriots, and that mysterious person is still an elite member of Huaguo. ”

"Our undercover agent in China is the deputy head of their delegation for this visit, and it is said that he was the person who was installed by President Booth Sr. when he was in office, and he will not go back to the United States this time, so his news is very credible."

"Anti-plot, this must be a counter-plot," Martin said loudly, "Rick is a companion who has fought side by side with us for months, and this so-called undercover agent, how long has he only been with us, not to mention that he has been in China for so many years, is it impossible to fake it and really go to the Chinese government?" ”

"I'm going to question this undercover agent and see what evidence he can come up with to prove that Rick is a spy," Martin said as he was about to leave, but Mario quickly stopped her.

"Martin, calm down first. Rick's identity as a spy should be confirmed, and when the security department first set out to arrest him, he didn't know where to get the news and managed to escape. So, in addition to Rick, there must be ghosts in the base. ”

"How is this possible," Martin said as the cup fell to the ground, shards of tea and glass splattered in all directions, her hands covering her mouth, and the look on her face changed from anger to surprise and sadness for a moment.

"Charles is suspicious of Hill and Kim because they had been in contact with a man in Huaguo who not only infiltrated the data center building, but may also have been suspected of killing one of Charles's subordinates."

"Ciel, Kim...... Hehe, didn't Charles doubt me? I have afternoon tea with Rick almost every day. Martin's tone was full of mockery, and his face turned a little pale.

"Martin, for the sake of your safety, it's best not to go out alone in the near future," Mario saw his deputy's body trembling slightly, knowing that she must be in a sad mood right now. But the long pain is better than the short pain, and this matter needs to be faced by herself after all.

"Rick escaped, right?" Martin looked at Mario in a daze, wanting to hear him confirm Rick's safety one more time.

"Yes," Mario, as a person who has come over, understands her feelings.

"I see, thank you, Mario," Martin nodded, and his body suddenly crouched down, her hands clasping her knees and burying her face between her legs, her body shaking.

Mario heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from between her hair.
