On the streets in the early hours of the morning, even the sea of stars, which is known for its prosperity, is a little deserted, the nightlife people are almost asleep, and the early risers have not yet reached the time, only the occasional hovering car drives by.

Lorod Sari drove from the direction of the gymnasium to her home in a su-hovercar assigned by the police station, looking at the thick snow whistling by outside the window and the shade of the trees under the street lamp, she sighed faintly and muttered secretly, "I don't know if it was right or wrong to rescue that guy." ”

Before, she finally used the identity of the police station, and even coupled with the unprecedented betrayal of lust, she tricked several guarded garrison gendarmes into the ruins in the name of helping, instructed them to work, and then quickly smuggled Zhou Wenluo out and stuffed it into the trunk of the car.

It's just that as I thought when I made the decision at the beginning, it's easy to save people and it's hard to deal with the aftermath, and it's simple to fight wits and courage with a few guards, but after rescuing Zhou Wenluo, although she carefully avoided the surveillance cameras, she was able to save the time bomb back to her home, who knows when the ubiquitous Federal Security Service and the investigation team of this incident will find her home.

The most important thing is that it is not known what role Zhou Wenluo played in the case in the gymnasium tonight, and now he looks so mysterious and strange wrapped in that crystal light, and even life and death cannot be determined, and he can't ask if he wants to, this is the most headache.

"Forget it. Let's take one step at a time. ”

Shaking her head, Lorod Sally drove the car into a building in a certain community, this is the house assigned to her by the bureau, the two bedrooms and one living room are quite spacious, there is a toilet and kitchen, and the most important thing is that it doesn't cost money, after coming to Xinghai to experience the life of ordinary people. She also knows that life is not easy, and she can save a little bit by making money and spending it by herself.

two rooms, except for her bedroom. The other room had been empty, and I thought it would be useless, but I didn't expect to welcome the first guest today. And it's Zhou Wenluo, a guy who has a complicated relationship with her.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely bright, Lorod Sally secretly parked the car, and quickly carried Zhou Wenluo, who was like a luminous body, back to the house from the trunk and put it on the bed in the guest room next to it.

"By the way, what the hell is this halo on this guy?"

Panting against the wall at the head of the bed, the eldest lady of the Alberta family, who had done a "bad thing" for the first time in her life, had time to calm down her heart, which had been beating wildly, and looked at Zhou Wenluo, who looked a little sci-fi in front of her. "Speaking of which, on the whole, this layer of crystal white light envelops this kid, which is a bit like a large silkworm cocoon."

Lorod Sally muttered, carefully reaching out and touching it. I found that the halo that wrapped Zhou Wenluo's body was still the same as in the ruins of the parking lot before, it felt as smooth and warm as silk, but I couldn't reach in and touch Zhou Wenluo's body, just like the feeling of water and jelly.

After studying for a while, Lorod Sally shook her head helplessly, closed the door and went back to her room to take a shower and sleep. She was busy for a day and a night, and she was so tired and choked after such a toss before, anyway, she had done her best for this kid, so let him continue to be a cocoon.

After taking a shower, she went to the guest room and looked at it, and saw that it was still the quiet cocoon, Lorod Sally shook her head with a sigh of relief, went back to her room and locked the door, climbed into the bed and touched the pillow, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Since childhood, she has been a daughter, and although she has gone through a lot of tempering in recent months, it is the first time that it is so hard and exciting as today.

With a gun pressed under the pillow, there was suddenly one more person in the family, still a man, although she was confident in the strength of her martial arts, but she was still instinctively afraid of some girls.

I don't know if this was the beginning of cohabitation - she remembered it a long time later.

…………

Xiao Dawei has been in a bad mood these days.

After the heart-rending crying that morning, Yan Zhi didn't do anything that made him too frightened to explain to the family, and seemed to have regained her past peace, but she never believed the fact that the young man named Zhou Wenluo had been unlucky.

Even, after she personally went to the ruins of the underground parking lot of Xinghai Gymnasium again, and watched the engineering troops in the garrison area clean up and excavate the entire ruins, she still firmly believed that the young man named Zhou Wenluo had absolutely no accident.

In fact, if it was just so stubborn, Xiao Dawei wouldn't have such a headache, but the key is that while Yan Zhi was stubborn, he stayed in the room all day and night to lock himself up, didn't go anywhere, didn't do anything, just stupidly waited for the news of those people sent out to search for Zhou Wenluo-

Xiao Dawei is really scratching his head and irritable about this, the so-called search for Zhou Wenluo, can he still not know what is going on, yes, Zhou Wenluo's body has not been found now, but the problem is that all kinds of signs have proved that he is likely to have lost his bones in the attack of the mecha, he cannot be found in the ruins of the parking lot, and the monitoring at the intersection outside has confirmed that he did not leave, so where do you let people go to find him?

There is no way to take this eldest lady, Xiao Dawei can only follow her, anyway, this time the assassination incident, the family also thinks that Yan Zhi has been living in a shallow place to rest for a period of time recently, as long as you don't do anything you can't think of, Xiao Dawei doesn't bother to care.

Compared with the situation of Yan Zhi, the eldest lady, the investigation of the assassination made Xiao Dawei feel much smoother, and after the six officers who were trained in the Ministry of Defense all committed suicide, the family officially negotiated with the relevant parties.

The family that has gone through countless ups and downs is much calmer than Yan Zhi, and it is very clear that if these middle-level young Zhuang officers commit suicide one after another. Even if the truth is on the family's side, I am afraid that it will touch the bottom line of the government, and it will make the military dissatisfied, so the investigation method like the investigation team today is obviously that some of them have made small moves and want the family to carry the mine.

This kind of small action that can't be put on the table is not worthy of the family's anger, but the family is not stupid, and the investigation must be carried out to the end. The majesty of the family is inviolable, and the real murderer behind the scenes must be found out and paid the price. But this does not mean that the investigation must go in the sensitive direction of the military, this time even the mecha has been dispatched, and there are enough clues to investigate. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to find out the real murderer?

This assassination completely violated the default rules of the game of all the upper forces, the federal government must give an explanation and face to the family, and the other families also tacitly agreed, so after the family made representations, the federal government's investigation team quickly changed direction and made significant progress.

Again, under the sky of the Federation, there can be no shady curtain that will never be exposed, let alone a plan that is so perfect that it cannot find any clues and leave no traces, especially when the state apparatus is in full swing.

Professionals do professional things. Although the suicides of the six officers trained by the Department of Defense have brought a lot of pressure to the work of the Federal Investigation Team, after all, those staff members are professional in this kind of work, and the psychological pressure has not even had the slightest impact on the work, but has changed direction. I continued to investigate, and by the evening of the next day, important progress was made.

First of all, the identity of the militants who attacked the VIP area of the stadium to attract Yanzhi has been clarified, and all the militants who died are soldiers belonging to the special landing regiment of the First Fleet of the Federation guarding Kyushu.

However, it has not been found out who gave the direct order to send troops, and who was able to turn those soldiers loyal to the Federation into shameful instruments of assassination. But the FBI attentive officers. From the concrete wall where the black mecha was hiding in the underground parking lot of the gymnasium, another valuable clue was excavated.

The subordinate engineer brigade subordinate to the Imperial Capital Garrison received this task on the eve of the incident, and although the person who issued this order had carefully erased the fragment of information representing the identity in the telegram, the second-layer information imprint dedicated to the military system was ignored by the person who issued the order.

An agent of the Federal Security Service keenly captured this, and found a few letters marked with identity in the core sentence layer of the command document, and the investigation team investigated through this clue, from the exposed second-layer information brand, and finally pointed all the fingers at a male secretary in the Ministry of Defense building.

On the morning of the fourth day of the assassination in the parking lot of the Xinghai Gymnasium, the Imperial Palace Defense Building was as solemn as ever, and the bright marble floor of the building hall was painted with gold dust with the pattern of the military medal of the Federation.

What happened the day before yesterday, the officers at the upper level of the Ministry of National Defense building already knew, what happened in the training center next to the building two days ago, most people in this building already knew, as for the news that several officers committed suicide after the collective arrest of those trained officers, it is believed that the middle-aged women in charge of cleaning in this building also already knew.

But the people in the core of the Federation army still maintained a relaxed expression and a smile on their lips, because this huge machine never collapsed on its own because a part was loose or corroded.

The design style of the Ministry of National Defense building is mainly in a cold style, and the exterior wall does not use a glass curtain wall that can absorb solar energy, but chooses gray and black natural stone. The whole building is square, and the height of the building is seventeen storeys. This square architectural style looks a bit dull, like a box.

In the internal conversation of the federal government, it is generally customary to refer to the Ministry of Defense by the box, because in the eyes of the general affairs officer, the soldiers of the Ministry of Defense are like people in a box, whether it is the way they walk or the way they talk and act, they are always square and angular.

On the penultimate floor at the top of the Department of Defense building, on the floor next to the box cover, there is a very quiet and luxurious office at the end of the hallway.

Luo Qiushui, the commander of the garrison area of the Imperial Capital Garrison Force and the deputy director of the General Armament Department of the Ministry of National Defense, who is in charge of the core security of the Imperial Palace, works in this office. He came to the room half an hour early today, as usual, and after drinking a cup of tea and waking up, he began to deal with some affairs of the garrison troops and the armament department.

But there was obviously some small accident today, and half an hour had passed when he arrived in the office, but his confidant secretary still did not knock on the door, and then served the sandwich and milk that he had always used to serve as breakfast.

Commander Luo Qiushui seemed to realize something, and put down the pen in his hand to correct the documents. Got up and walked to the window in silence, glanced at the beautiful winter scenery of Dijing outside the window, and then turned around and sat on the sofa.

The secretary still hasn't come yet. However, the phone on the desk rang, and Commander Luo Qiushui answered the phone and listened carefully and carefully for a long time. Without saying a word, he sat back down on the couch again, and this time instead of picking up his teacup, he took a bottle of spirits from the bookcase, poured himself a glass, and sipped it slowly.

While drinking the amber liquid, this important figure of the federal military squinted his eyes and thought about things, completely unaware that the alcohol, which he hated the most on weekdays, was so stinging to his throat, and the phone call just now told him. His confidant secretary had been asked by the investigation team to investigate, and it seemed that he would never return, and most importantly, the presidential adviser and the secretary general of the Military Commission had entered the lobby of the Ministry of Defense at this time, and was about to take the elevator. Come to your office.

Commander Luo Qiushui's slightly frosty brows furrowed slightly, took out a document from the secret cabinet beside him, and looked at it with some fascination, about the assassination incident in the Xinghai Gymnasium that shocked the nerves of the entire federation a few days ago, although he did not participate in the investigation, but as one of the members of the Ministry of National Defense. Details of the incident and the progress of the investigation will be delivered to him according to a certain period of time.

Watching the other party approach him step by step, this feeling was not pleasant, but now that he knew the news of the secretary's arrest, Commander Luo Qiushui's mood became a little lighter, yes, in fact, everything that happened in the Xinghai Gymnasium was carried out under his instructions and instructions.

It is naturally more difficult for others to mobilize soldiers and transfer a firepower mecha, but as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Capital Garrison Force and the deputy director of the General Armament Department, one of the high-ranking and powerful figures in the military, it is naturally easy for him to do all this, as for the colonel mecha division in the Third Fleet, he is just a subordinate he promoted back then.

Since joining the army decades ago, Commander Luo Qiushui has held many positions, the Second Fleet and the Fourth Fleet on the front line, the First and Third Fleets guarding Kyushu and Kate Star, as well as various mecha regiments and marine corps, have all had his footprints, and now he is the most core force guarding the Gyeonggi Garrison Army, this position seems to be inferior to the commander of the Third Fleet he once served, but the security of the most core of the Federation is entrusted to him. It can be seen that his position in the military and even in the entire federation.

With his high and powerful position, in fact, even if he is now trying to see the East Window incident, it is enough to make those big people who have cooperated with him and implicated, even the military and Mr. President himself, to keep him at all costs, just like ...... The mecha division who committed suicide after an assassination attempt is the same as the six officers who committed suicide the night before.

But Commander Luo Qiushui didn't want to do this, Yan Zhi hoped that the more they died, the better, but he didn't want anyone to die for him.

The Federation began to select the fifth S-level academy, which seems to be just a trivial matter, but behind it is one of the games between Kyushu and Kate, the Federation is a whole, but this whole is composed of humans and Kates, and the strength of one must mean the weakening of the other.

As a human being, Commander Luo Qiushui could not tolerate some upper-class families selling out the interests of the entire Kyushu for their own personal gains.

He knew better than anyone the sacred rule that the military must act under the law and the collective will of the Federation. But he often wondered what would happen to the military if the law and the collective will of the Union had become toys in the hands of some, or if they had compromised with each other.

Even if Commander Luo Qiushui is in a high position, he has never felt that he is just a soldier, he has never believed the words of those politicians, and he is even more reluctant to put the future of Kyushu and the entire human race in the hands of those families who only see the interests of their own family in front of them!

In this assassination incident, the one who died may be just a Yan Zhi, an heir of the Xue family, but the Xue family is the right-hand man of the Ming Yu family of the Kate royal family, and the inheritance family of the second master of the Ming Jade Palace, as long as Yan Zhi dies, then the Xue family will fall into the civil strife of the heir competition, and the power of the Ming Jade Palace will inevitably be weakened, and the relationship between the Kate people and Kyushu will become more and more sensitive at the juncture of the competition of the fifth S-level college......

There are countless follow-up possibilities, the fanning of a butterfly may be able to cause a certain storm, but it is a pity that this assassination, this originally foolproof assassination, this assassination plan carefully prepared by him and his loyal subordinates, will fail because of the birth of a young man named Zhou Wenluo.

After drinking all the liquor in the glass in one gulp, Commander Luo Qiushui opened the drawer, took out the old-fashioned pistol that had been with him for many years, and turned the muzzle of the gun a little clumsily upside down and stuffed it into his mouth.

He paused for a moment, gasped for a few heavy and sharp breaths, and then pulled the trigger.

A dull sound echoed throughout the floor.

Failure is failure, but failure, as a soldier, he can also choose the most dignified way to die. Your support is my biggest motivation. m
