Chapter 310: Black Cat's Hint (I)

The place of trading is not in Keha, but in the asteroid belt of the Sara system, far from the core world of the Empire and the surveillance of the Imperial fleet. In order to prevent the other party from eating black, he also temporarily called Black Rose to help him support the field. "I've never heard of this organization's name, are you sure they can be trusted?"

Yang Yi doesn't know the answer to this question, but it doesn't cost him anything extra to believe them, isn't it? If supporting these people can distract the Empire and create more time for them to investigate deeply, it will not be a loss.

After arriving at the agreed time, the ship where the black cat appeared on the scene made Yang Yi feel relieved. The other side sent a cargo ship, an unarmed cargo ship converted from an old cruiser that is common in the star sector.

There were no additional moths during the handover. The personnel sent to deliver the goods were a small group of men dressed in Imperial equipment, and they could not see their faces under the cover of reflective masks. The other party didn't say anything during the whole process, and began to direct the loading of the ship after the inventory was completed and the number of goods was confirmed.

Then without waiting for Yang Yi to speak, the two people on the other side escorted a person in a technician's uniform into the body of the Hydra ship from the docking cabin, and went straight to Yang Yi and Hydra, who were watching the handover process nearby.

"It's a pleasure to meet you guys and thank you for your assistance. I heard you're looking for someone to know about that terrible event? The mechanic-clad man, despite his oil-stained coat, took off his hat and saluted them, greeting them with a reassuring smile, "You can call me Chris." ”

"Hello, Mr. Chris. I'm the captain of this ship, just call me Hydra. If you don't mind, why don't we sit down and talk? ”

"Gladly, Miss Hydra."

"Let me introduce myself, I was working in the Imperial Administration Department at the time of General Simonson's East Window Incident." After a few words of pleasantry, Chris got straight to the point, "I can provide all the information you need." But I'll need to know what information you need first. ”

"All we know at the moment is a rough picture of what happened." Hydra didn't wait for Yang Yi to speak, and then took the lead and said, "There are only some general contents in the Imperial database, and General Simonson appeared on a list, causing him to seem to go crazy and start scourging other Imperial officials everywhere, and finally he was 'missing'. Is there anything you can add to this? ”

"Then you don't know anything." Chris shook his head, "I'll tell you from the beginning. ”

The Simonson incident originated from the list that was found in the Resistance's bases, perhaps because of the appearance of Simonson's name on the list, which led to the outbreak of a series of subsequent events.

"That's just speculation." Chris laughed sarcastically, "Actually, that list was drawn up by General Simonson himself. ”

"Yourself?!"

"Myself."

Chris is so sure because he is the one who wrote this list in the first place. A month before the incident, he had found Simonson's handwritten letter and the 1,000 credits in his study. He had no idea how much of an impact the list would have, and that a thousand credits would be enough to blind his eyes.

He was fortunate to have survived the events that followed, as he was an official of the Ministry of Administration, and he had almost no contact with Simonson on weekdays, and few people could find him, and he did not show any abnormalities during the fermentation of the incident, so no one suspected him until the incident was over.

"If it's just a letter, how can you be sure it's really Simonson's handwriting?"

"That should be the task of the two of you." Chris smiled, "All I can provide is this information, because the letter was signed by General Simonson, and it was later the case that happened to him, so I can only choose to believe that it was written by General Simonson - after all, I can't think of anyone else who would write such a letter." ”

Since the letter did not say how to deliver the goods, Chris placed it on his desk when he was done. The next day, the list was stolen. Chris tacitly acquiesced that he had completed his mission.

A month later, the East Window incident occurred, and the list was discovered within the Resistance. For unknown reasons, the Security Service did not find out that the list was written by Chris, a junior official of the Imperial Administration, and the list was urgently and secretly sent to the Imperial Palace because it involved too many important people. Chris was unaware of this at first, but then the situation gradually expanded as Simonson began to go crazy for unknown reasons, frequently exposing other Imperial officials to the Imperial Security Service and the Imperial Palace, and even directly to the Emperor's office, so that Chris was able to learn some details during a chance audit.

At first, he didn't care about any of this, he was just a junior official, and most of the officials who were removed or disappeared were officials or generals in the inner circle, and had nothing to do with him as a nobody. But soon he suffered—the change of the political hierarchy led to the collapse of the entire old political structure, and after about three months he was kicked out of the Imperial Administration and sent to the periphery.

Chris refuses to admit the result, leaving him with nothing wrong, but suffering from the collapse of a high-rise building that he has not even seen a few times. His appeals were rejected on three occasions, and he was almost powerless to resist the Imperial Security Service. It was at this time that the black cat came into contact with him and extended an olive branch to him. They protected him and hid him in the black cat's hideout in Keha.

After negotiation, Chris agreed to serve the Black Cat Organization on the condition that he would be able to complete his revenge against the Empire if he had the chance.

"So over the years, I've been trying to gather information about that incident through the channels of the black cat." "But one thing I'm sure of is that Simonson is definitely not crazy. Neither the Security Bureau nor the Emperor are fools, and if he had really gone crazy, he would have been secretly controlled long ago. And I suspect that it must be the emperor's handiwork. Simonson was supposed to have been personally instructed by the Emperor himself. ”

"All I was responsible for writing the list, and the names on it were all given to me by Simonson. Such a large-scale political upheaval could not have lasted so long without the instructions of the old emperor. Chris took a sip of the water handed over by Yang Yi, "Thank you." According to the information we have so far, the old emperor should be the mastermind behind the whole incident. He directed and acted in the whole event. In my opinion, his raid on the Black Cat's stronghold was also planned—"

"Your stronghold when the Security Service raided you?"

"Huh? Did you know? Chris was stunned by the question, "I thought you came here because you already knew that it was the Black Cat's stronghold that was attacked." It is also for this reason that the black cat wants to win over people to find out the truth. It stands to reason that the stronghold should be very secretive, and there shouldn't be any Imperial doglegs to discover it. ”

“…… Can I take the liberty of asking a question? Yang Yi suddenly asked softly.

"Tell me, I'll answer whatever I can."

"Where was that stronghold in Keha? Maybe we can go back there and find something. ”

"It doesn't matter if I tell you, but that place has been renovated since our stronghold was raided. It was renovated again at the end of the year following the Simonson affair, and we have long since stopped using it as a base. Most of you won't be able to find out what you have. ”

"I almost forgot to mention that the place where that stronghold is located is called the Piercing Bullet Club."
