Xuanwu bridge.

The elevator doors opened to both sides, and Yang Yi and Christina stepped into the dimly lit bridge of the Xuanwu one after another. Christina kept looking around like a curious baby, but soon the view of the bridge disappointed her - she thought she could see the entire core from the tallest building in the core, but she only saw rows of servers and electronic equipment, and most of the area was pitch black except for the flickering lights on the machines, and there seemed to be no panoramic glass to see the scenery outside.

But she was soon attracted by the huge cooling tank in the center of the bridge, especially the huge figure floating in the tank, soaked in green coolant.

"Welcome back, Commander."

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems on your side during this time, right?" Yang Yi walked to the side of the cooling tank and sat down on the seat that Xuanwu had set for himself.

"Everything is normal, Commander."

"Good. Krista come here. Yang Yi turned his head and called his fiancée, but his fiancée seemed to be a little hesitant. Yang Yi was a little incomprehensible, but following her gaze, Yang Yi knew that she was worried about the shipwreck next to her.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Christa, I won't hurt you."

"Ah...... Haha......" Christina laughed dryly, walked quickly to Yang Yi's side, bent down and whispered to Yang Yi, "Yang Yi, are you really sure ......"

"She can hear you talking." Yang Yi hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry, she has no choice but to look like this now." There's no need to be afraid. We're absolutely safe here, you sit down, let's listen to the recording and get down to business. ”

Although Christina still hesitated, Yang Yi's assurance still made her barely suppress the uneasiness in her heart, and quickly sat down on the seat that Xuanwu had already prepared for her, and then took out the voice recorder, and was just about to play, Xuanwu stopped her: "Miss Christina, the voice recorder should be handed over to me to deal with." I'll pick out the useful information for both of you. As she spoke, the voice recorder in her hand was lifted by an invisible force, and then slowly floated towards the dark computer room area.

Christina looked at this scene in disbelief, and Yang Yi next to her was already surprised: "Psychic, there's no need to be surprised." ”

After a few minutes of suppressed silence, Xuanwu spoke up, "It's all sorted out. Commander, are you ready to ......"

"Let's start with the first time he had the black mask of Sirius Research." Christina replied first, "That's what I remember the most." ”

"Okay."

This was actually Orlan's first collaboration with members of the Piercing Bullet Club. At a masquerade ball held at the end of 2501, Orran met a man wearing a black masquerade who claimed to be an employee of Sirius Research and wanted to work with him, with the aim of asking Orran to help hack into the Empire's security network and help them smuggle goods.

There are not many ways to smuggle goods into the planet, and smuggling through various civilian ships is the most common and easiest way to detect. The Sirius employee asked for help in forging a designated ship into a Kemorian embassy cargo ship with diplomatic immunity to facilitate smuggling.

At that time, Colonel Orran was not so famous, but he already had a certain ability to crack the empire's security network, and he also had a certain amount of manpower under him, plus the other party gave him a good pay, so Orran took the commission and completed it very beautifully. The cargo ship was released into the territory of Keha without being suspected by the border inspection vessels in Keha. However, the ship finished loading and unloading its cargo, and disappeared shortly after leaving Keha, and later found some wreckage in a galaxy on the edge of the Empire, which was believed to have been destroyed by pirates.

Xuanwu cut out a lot of useless content, because Orlan talked a lot about his hacking into the empire's network, including his own team infiltrating Keha to help, and also mocked a wave of the empire's self-righteous security guards, Yang Yi was already a little drowsy at that time. After that, Christina asked what the name of the cargo ship was, and Orran replied that it was the Blue Tears, a brand new Kemorian cargo ship. As for what the goods were, Orran said that of course he didn't know, his employer didn't tell him, and he warned him not to meddle, and he wasn't so famous at the time, so he didn't care about it.

After the mission was completed, Orran was given three times the original pay, and was told that the matter could only be known to God, and then the mission was over. He didn't intend to tell anyone about this in the first place, and it wasn't until he was escorted here today that he told anyone for the first time, mainly because Sirius had been disbanded for several years, and no one cared if he yelled out.

"Wait a minute, something is wrong." After hearing this, Yang Yi immediately stood up, "You should have found out too, right?" ”

"Hmm...... But what I found may be a little different from what you find. Christina looked up and said, "Let's start by saying what you think is wrong." ”

"What I think is wrong is the method of smuggling, don't you think it's too formal?" Yang Yi frowned and said, "When I used to work in Keha, I also did a smuggling job, but it wasn't so complicated. If it was just ordinary smuggling, these enterprises would have special underground corridors, and there was no need to come to the port of the dead to find a mercenary to spend a lot of money to disguise a cargo ship and transport it in, and give three times the reward to seal it. ”

"Underground corridors? Why haven't I heard of such a thing? This time it was Christina's turn to look dazed.

"It's normal that you don't know. This should be known only to your father and a few elders in charge of your family's estate. Yang Yi began to pace back and forth in front of his seat, "I didn't know before I took over that smuggling, and that time it was also because an employee who was originally in charge of smuggling was taken away by the stormtrooper, and I was temporarily caught by the leader and put on top." ”

"It must be important to have something in there, but the cargo ship is gone. But what I'm more curious about is, why is Orlan still there? It stands to reason that it is wise to kill the mercenaries for such an important thing, why ......"

"I want to ...... Probably this is a frame-up. ”

"Framed?!" Yang Yi and Xuanwu were surprised at the same time, startling Christina.

"Yes, yes. Didn't you notice? It stands to reason that this is an ordinary hacking mission, so why would the client go out of his way to reveal his identity? "Normally, he would just have to tell Colonel Orran that I can give you a commission, and I need you to hack into the Empire's security network and help me forge the identity of a cargo ship for smuggling, and that's it." But wouldn't it be strange that he had specifically told him that he was part of the Sirius Research Company? ”

"My guess is that most of the ships are more shady than ordinary contraband, specifically for the purpose of framing Sirius. The destruction of the cargo ship should be to destroy the mouth of the crew, but not the mouth of Orran should be so that people can follow the trail and achieve the purpose of framing Sirius. ”

"But...... If even we can guess, the professionals who follow the trail should be even more able to guess. ”

"Not necessarily." Christina shook her head and said, "First of all, my guess is not necessarily correct, because we don't have any other clues other than what Colonel Orran said, and even this matter is the first time that Orlan has learned from it; In addition, the people who follow the trail may have other clues related to Sirius Research, and if our guess is correct, then it is impossible for the person who arranged this framing to arrange this one drama alone, and there must be other aspects or cases or clues to mislead the investigators, and eventually induce the investigators to believe that this is the work of Sirius and not other people or organizations. We guessed it because we simply didn't have other clues at hand that would mislead us. ”

"That'...... Assuming you're right, who might be the one who framed Sirius? ”

"I can't push this out for you, because there are too few clues." Christina shook her head, "But since it's the person who pierces the bullet, then it can't run out of the club members who pierced the bullet back then, maybe it's one of the companies we are looking for......"
