Chapter Twenty-Nine: Covert Investigation

After listening to Lei Ling's report, Shenchen Hai couldn't sit still anymore.

Watching the spaceship that Long Xingyi was riding on slowly start, the Stygian Sea always had a sense of foreboding, but he couldn't tell where this premonition came from. It wasn't until Lei Ling pulled him aside with a gloomy look on his face that he was even more sure that this kind of ominous premonition seemed to be really going to happen.

"What's wrong? Sneaky. "The Sea of Styx seems to be asking questions with answers.

Lei Ling was silent for a moment, as if organizing words. Finally, he spoke: "Commander-in-chief, earlier today, I heard a conversation. Seems to ......"

"What seems like it? Don't grind! "The sophisticated and calm Shenchen Sea finally can't wait.

"It seems that someone is trying to murder Long Xingyi." Lei Ling lowered his head slightly, raised his eyes, and said like a child who had made a mistake.

A flash of lightning flashed through the eyes of the Stygian Sea, but he still patiently asked, "How do you know?" Is there any evidence? ”

Lei Ling shook his head, "I just heard a conversation in the bathroom, saying that if he continues to develop like this, it will be a big threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible." Another said, don't be here, eyes too much. If something happens to him on the road, or on the Tower of Light, it's none of our business. Then the first person said......"

"Say what?" Shenchen Hai subconsciously leaned over and listened to Lei Ling's whispered report.

"Another said he had already arranged it." When Lei Ling said this, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" The Stygian Sea finally couldn't hold its breath anymore and began to jump like thunder.

Lei Ling rarely saw the Stygian Sea so angry, so he could only sink his head lower and replied in a mosquito-like voice: "They didn't say whether that person was Long Xingyi or not, but I guessed it should be him." I took into account their conversation, so I hurried back to my room, took out my own encrypted radio station and small robot, and just handed it to him, hoping to be useful to him. ”

When the Stygian Sea looked up, the spaceship had long since disappeared, floating in the vast space, leaving only a few bits and pieces. Shenchenhai sighed and asked again, "Do you know who said that?" ”

"That's what I think is scary." Lei Ling seemed to be in a hurry to defend himself, "When I came out of the cubicle, I only saw General Neville washing his hands in front of the mirror. ”

"Neville Jackson?" Stygian Sea asked, his eyes wide.

Lei Ling looked around and nodded slightly, "You also know that accusing the supreme commander of a country without evidence is subject to a military tribunal. There was the sound of a hair dryer and running water, and I really had no evidence to prove that it was him who said these words, and that it was Long Xingyi who was going to murder him. If I immediately report to the deterrent mission, then I will have to provide strong evidence......"

"Stupid! The 'proof' you want could be on the ship right now! Shenchenhai scolded in a low voice, he didn't expect his student to be confused at this time, but Lei Ling was right, if there was no evidence to prove that this conversation was from General Neville, then Lei Ling would also be in danger. Moreover, the second person who had the conversation did not yet know who it was.

Lei Ling slapped his forehead as if he had suddenly realized. He was stunned for a while before he opened his mouth and asked, "That...... What to do? ”

Shenchenhai closed his eyes, thought about it, and finally spoke: "That's it! Follow me. ”

The two of them walked through the hangar together, back to the hallway, and went to the room of the Stygian Sea. As soon as they reached the end of the hallway, they saw General Neville coming towards him. Stygian Sea pretended to greet General Neville calmly as usual, but Lei Ling seemed to be a little unable to suppress the tension in his heart, and kept staring at the other party.

"Yo, you two don't seem to be very happy to see off Brigadier General Long Xingyi away." General Neville was speaking to the Immortal Sea, but his eyes were slanted at Lei Ling next to him.

"Well, I'll be happy until the day he returns safely." Shenchen Hai said in his words.

General Neville smiled and said, "Styx, you're too nervous, it's just an envoy mission, what can happen!" ”

"Hopefully. I still have something to do, so let's go first. With that, the Stygian Sea walked past General Neville with Lei Ling.

"General Lei Ling." The two walked past General Neville, and Neville Jackson suddenly called Lei Ling and said, "What do you have to say...... Want to say to me? ”

"Nope." Lei Ling replied categorically, "It's just a coincidence, counting this time, I have already met you three times this morning, and it seems that you are also quite busy." ”

Neville Jackson smiled, "yes! Can you not be busy worrying about a country's military problems? ”

Hades Hai hurriedly took Lei Ling back to his room, and after entering the house, he went straight to the safe. Stygian rummaged through the safe and pulled out his own encrypted radio station. After the identity verification, Shenchenhai said briefly: "Call the director of the Sixth Bureau of the Central Office, Bai Duchuan." ”

The phone was quickly connected, and Bai Duchuan said to Shenchenhai with a relaxed face: "What's the matter, old man?" Remembering to greet me with a crypto radio station in the morning? ”

"Something's wrong, come to my room." Hades said briefly. When Bai Duchuan heard this, he also turned back to a serious face. Nodding, he wiped the toothpaste from the corner of his mouth and hung up.

It didn't take long for the access control system to report Bai Duchuan's visit. Shenchenhai opened the door, let Bai Duchuan in, and briefly told Bai Duchuan what Lei Ling had heard and done. Bai Duchuan frowned the whole time, and it wasn't until Shenchenhai said that Lei Ling gave his encrypted radio station to Long Xingyi, and Bai Duchuan suddenly stretched his brows.

"Hah! At the critical moment, you kid still made the right decision! Bai Duchuan said happily to Lei Ling.

"Lao Bai, when is it! Also kidding. Shen Chenhai said with a worried face.

Bai Duchuan raised his eyebrows, but still smiled, "This matter sounds quite crazy, but since Long Xingyi has our encrypted radio station in his hand, I will arrange the affairs of Guangta Xing's side." Come with me! ”

With that, Bai Duchuan took Shenchenhai and Lei Ling out of the door. When he went out, Bai Duchuan looked around and made sure that there was no one around, so he asked the two of them to come out and trotted all the way back to Bai Duchuan's room.

Bai Duchuan also took out his encrypted radio station and authenticated it. But he didn't tell the encrypted radio station who he was looking for, but said directly: "Start the 'clairvoyant' plan and call the Light Tower Branch." ”

After the radio performed another genetic identification, it dialed out an out-of-order number. A moment later, an unfamiliar face appears in the frame.

"Aid mission, aid target: Long Xingyi, aid method: covert protection, try to meet all the requirements he makes. I will then transfer command authority to Commander-in-Chief Shenchenhai and Lieutenant General Lei Ling, who will give you direct orders and assist Lei Ling in completing the mission. Bai Duchuan said straightforwardly.

The mysterious man in the picture nodded, just said "received" and hung up.

"I still have a mission? What task? After hanging up the phone, Lei Ling couldn't wait to ask.

Bai Duchuan glanced at the Underworld Sea, and then said to Lei Ling: "I should give you a chance to make up for it!" Shenchenhai nodded, letting Bai Duchuan continue.

"Under the moon base, we also have a small secret hangar, I will arrange the spaceship, you go to chase Long Xingyi's spaceship. If nothing happens, you will protect Long Xingyi in secret, and at the same time cooperate with our colleagues in the Sixth Bureau to report to us at any time. If something happens on the way, you can always come to the rescue. After Bai Duchuan finished speaking, he turned to explain to the Immortal Sea: "The Light Tower Branch has not had an accident for many years, and some people were just withdrawn not long ago, and now the resources are a little scarce, sending Lei Ling can give you more protection." ”

Shenchen Hai nodded and said, "This is a way!" Go ahead! I'll hand over your command to Wind Feather for the time being. Feel free to report to me if you have anything! Alas, at a critical time, the only people who can be trusted are the four students of you'wind, fire, thunder and lightning', and Lao Bai. Fire he ...... again Stay safe yourself! Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry when he thought of the beloved general he had lost on "Judgment Day".

Lei Ling nodded solemnly, and Bai Duchuan said, "Follow me." He walked to the corner of the room, moved his bed, pressed his finger on a fingerprint reader in the corner, and a white light lit up on the wall, and Bai Duchuan said, "349851", and a secret door opened.

Bai Duchuan took Lei Ling into the secret door, and immediately turned back to the Stygian Sea and said, "I have transferred the command authority of the Light Tower Star Branch to you, and then I will send you their call signs, you can contact them at any time!" ”

Lei Ling nodded, and after seeing the two disappear into the hole, he went back to the room to make other arrangements.

Bai Duchuan walked with Lei Ling for a long time, and arrived in front of an elevator. Bai Duchuan took Lei Ling to the elevator, descended all the way, and finally stopped at the bottom floor.

"That's it." Bai Duchuan said, and took Lei Ling out of the elevator and walked along the corridor to an office at the end.

In the office, several people are passing the time boringly, some are eating, some are playing games. Seeing Bai Duchuan enter the room, everyone quickly stopped what they were doing and stood upright.

"You're on duty?" Bai Duchuan didn't care about counting them, and asked bluntly.

Several people nodded in unison. Bai Duchuan pointed sideways at Lei Ling, "Urgent mission, take him to the Light Tower Star, and you will listen to his command all the way." Then he turned around and patted Lei Ling on the shoulder, and said to him: "The weapons and equipment you need are all on the spaceship, is there anything else you need to explain?" ”

Lei Ling shook his head, "Let's go!" I'm ready. ”

Bai Duchuan nodded, led Lei Ling through the small office, opened a door opposite the office, and the other crew members followed.

A spaceship that was much smaller than the one Long Xingyi was riding, but looked more sophisticated, appeared in front of Lei Ling's eyes. Lei Ling shook his head in admiration, "Now I know where so many of our 'special funds' go every year." ”

Bai Duchuan said a little proudly: "That's!" We've never embezzled taxpayers' money. Go ahead! What's the matter, find that old man. He was referring to the Stygian Sea.

Lei Ling nodded, didn't say much, and went directly to the spaceship. The crew briefly checked the status of the spacecraft and urgently replenished supplies. A few hours later, the ship was activated and exited through a deep passage ahead.

For the next few days, the sea waited anxiously in his room. Bai Duchuan was helping him investigate Neville Jackson's whereabouts, but he found nothing, and Shenchenhai could only secretly care about Long Xingyi, a young man. Whether it's good news or bad news, he can't wait to find out. Long Xingyi's encrypted radio station is always turned off, and he doesn't dare to call in the public frequency band, so as not to startle the snake, so he can only comfort himself with "no news is good news".

A few days later, the Stygian Sea was lying on the table exhausted. Suddenly, the encrypted radio station sounded, and the voice prompt was a call from Lei Ling's radio station. Hades hurriedly picked up the other party's call.

A familiar face came into view, and Shenchen Hai tugged at his heart, "Alas! Or did it happen, where are you now? ”……

After hanging up Long Xingyi's phone, Shenchenhai quickly dialed the encrypted channel of Lei Ling's spaceship.

"Where are you now?" Stygian Sea asked.

When Lei Ling heard the call, he also knew something was wrong, "We set off half a day later than Long Xingyi, and they are fast, and it will take a few hours to catch up with them now." Something went wrong? ”

Hades sighed, "The spaceship is malfunctioning. I heard that all the engineering robots on their spaceship have been transferred, which country was transferred, the records have been deleted, and Bai Duchuan is investigating. ”

Lei Ling thought for a moment and said, "I gave him a small robot, and the general failure should be able to deal with it." Where has he been? ”

The Stygian Sea sent out Long Xingyi's coordinates through the radio, and then said: "I just checked, this coordinate, said to be the public domain, is actually a dark corner that the Interstellar Alliance has not cleaned up in time, and there are often space pirates haunting. ”

Lei Ling's face changed, and his tone became panicked, "Let's rush over!" Hope it's okay. ”

Shenchenhai nodded, and the sleepless days made him a little exhausted. He only hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" He hung up.

When Lei Ling and the others rushed to the realm sent by the Stygian Sea, Long Xingyi's spaceship had already left safely, and Lei Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Report to the Commander, there are several unknown ships moving in the distance, and I suspect they are space pirates." The captain reported.

Lei Ling said lightly: "Let's keep driving and keep maneuvering at all times, they won't catch up." Then he went back to his room to report the situation to the Stygian Sea.

Arriving at the Light Tower Star, as soon as Lei Ling's spaceship landed on the small tarmac of the Light Tower Branch, Lei Ling quickly got off the spaceship.

"Will you detect ship failures?" Lei Ling asked the crew behind him.

One of the crew members stepped forward and said, "Report, I'm the chief engineer, I will." ”

"Okay, follow me." Lei Ling said, and hurriedly walked out of the hangar, he thought: Sister! Lao Tzu must find out who is responsible for the spaceship failure.

Lei Ling first came to the Earth Embassy with the chief engineer, and he was received by Ambassador Yu Qingyang.

"Brigadier General Long Xingyi is here?" Lei Ling asked bluntly.

Yu Qingyang was stunned for a moment and replied, "No, I didn't see it!" After the meeting, he disappeared when he returned to the embassy, maybe he went out, right? Need me help you find him? ”

Lei Ling waved his hand, "No, no need. In the meantime, please take care of him. Also, where is his ship? ”

Yu Qingyang replied: "The spaceship is in the hangar of Port 1, do you need me to take you there?" ”

"No need, I'll go by myself! Don't bother you. Lei Ling refused Yu Qingyang, and ran directly to the No. 1 hangar with the chief engineer.

Lei Ling took the chief engineer to the hangar where Long Xingyi landed, he pointed to the spacecraft in front of him, and said to the chief engineer: "Can you find out the cause of the failure?" ”

The chief engineer nodded honestly and replied, "I'll try it!" ”

Lei Ling nodded with satisfaction, and prepared to bring the chief engineer forward to reveal his identity to the crew on duty. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, I heard a crisp explosion, and the spaceship, which had just been safe and sound, instantly burst open from the inside, igniting a raging fire.

"What's the situation!" Lei Ling shouted a little angrily.

As soon as the words fell, a laser slashed, and the chief engineer fell to the ground. Lei Ling reflexively leaned down in the thick smoke.

There is an enemy!

As soon as Lei Ling took out the pistol he was carrying, more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers appeared around him. It seems that they have been waiting here for a long time.

Lei Ling circled the burning spaceship with them, but the one who came was well-armed and well-trained. In the end, Lei Ling was still outnumbered and captured alive by the enemy.

"I didn't hold back any good farts when I saw you kid!" One of the soldiers stepped forward and said this.

"Who are you? You are high-ranking officers who are holding the Earth hostage! Lei Ling said sharply.

The leader of the soldiers kicked Lei Ling in the stomach, and Lei Ling bent down in pain.

"Take it away!" The other party gave an order, and the two soldiers stepped forward, put a black cloth bag on Lei Ling's head, and then pushed Lei Ling out of the hangar.

After Long Xingyi's spaceship arrived at the Light Tower Star, the Light Tower Branch notified the Stygian Sea with an encrypted radio, and the Stygian Sea finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly waited for the development of the situation.

It didn't take long for the crypto radio station to ring again.

"I heard from Councilor Baili Chongyang, Speaker Crusset proposed to recruit Long Xingyi to join the interstellar team." The mysterious man reported.

That's okay, joining the interstellar agents, whoever plots to kill him will have to think twice. Thinking of this, Shenchen Hai felt a little relieved.

"However, not long ago, I heard that the spaceship that Long Xingyi was riding was on fire, and there were traces of a fight at the scene. After Lieutenant General Lei Ling landed, he went out with the chief engineer, and we found several charred bodies at the scene of the fire, one of which was confirmed by DNA to be the chief engineer, and the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Lei Ling are unknown. The mysterious man then reported.

"What?" Shenchenhai stood up in shock, "A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen!" He must have found something......"

"Also, Brigadier General Long Xingyi has just been assassinated by the killer and escaped, and the killer has been identified as a member of the Charnaxing and has now committed suicide. Brigadier General Long Xingyi was also sent to the hospital in a coma after defeating the other party. ”

"Alas!" Shenchen Hai couldn't sit still anymore, he didn't understand how he, who had always been able to control the overall situation, could suddenly be so indecisive. If he had intervened openly in the matter sooner, he might not have left a mess now.

"When Long Xingyi wakes up, you will see what he needs, and if necessary, take him to your branch for secret recuperation. When he's settled, let him contact me. With that, he hung up the phone.

Lei Ling's matter should not let Long Xingyi know for the time being, with his character, if he knew that Lei Ling disappeared to protect him, he would definitely take the initiative to find Lei Ling guiltily, and then expose himself to danger again. Or persuade him to join the interstellar agent as soon as possible, and don't mention anything else. I need to hurry up and report to the FΓΌhrer, the situation is getting more and more serious. Shenchenhai thought, tidied up his clothes, and hurriedly walked out of the room.
