Chapter 85: The Death of Mercer
Click, click, a group of soldiers galloped along the yellow leaf road beside the road, all in dark military uniforms, wearing military caps and military badges. That muscular body and the hormones of running made Yunxi couldn't help but take a second look.
She swears, she just looked at it meaninglessly and didn't think about what happened!
But the soldiers noticed her, turned around, ran around her and stood still.
Yunxi
who was surrounded in the center: ... the sergeant at the head stood up, "The Fifty-second Column of the Sixth Federal Army, the Secret Service is at your service! Are you Lin Tian'er?"
Yunxi wondered, cautiously I asked, "Are you from the Secret Service?"
What year is it, are you still a spy?
No one could understand her complaints, and the soldiers answered firmly, "Yes! My Secret Service received an order to invite you to be a guest. Please show your personal terminal and connect to the citizen ID code."
I don't know who is so generous, please A detachment of soldiers came to invite her. Yunxi couldn't guess it, but she wasn't afraid, so she turned on her wristwatch and let the group of private soldiers emitting male hormones confirm their identities.
"Dear Lin Tianer, the supernatural being, I am under the direct leadership of Dr. Jiang Jingfei. She is very interested in your supernatural powers and invites you to participate in YC's special experiment."
Yunxi laughed twice, "So it's Jiang Jingfei Doctor? I remember, it seems to be the daughter of Dean Jiang Yupei Jiang who was stationed at the Alpha base? Sorry, I'm not interested."
After speaking, seeing the shocked faces of these big soldiers, he took a loophole and planned to take advantage of it go out and leave.
"Wait! You can't leave!"
"Why, are you going to kidnap me?" Yunxi turned her head and pointed at the gate of the court not far away, "Here?"
"No. We have received a special notice that someone is going to kill you Disadvantageous! Out of consideration for your personal safety, I suggest you go with us!"
"But, I don't know you either! Going with you? I'm also afraid that you will be bad for me!"
"Our Secret Service is the military elite that handles special affairs. You can check the ID of each of us by filing on Skynet."
Yunxi smiled without saying a word.
What should she say, including Skynet, she actually...doesn't trust it much? After all, Skynet is just a large-scale network platform, with a wider scope than the parent star era, deeper control over the people, and more advanced technology, but it is still just... just a network!
As long as there are people behind it, it is difficult to get rid of the interests of the people behind it.
Her apparent alienation and distrust puzzled the sergeant leading the team, but he had no choice but to follow the rules when the order came down.
"If you don't believe me, can you stay in the court for a few days. The information I got is very reliable, and the source can't be disclosed to you, but... I will see the result in a few days."
Yunxi remembered that Wen Xinyi has been busy recently. God has not seen. And she couldn't rely on Wen Xinyi for the rest of her life, she had to have a long-term plan. It's fine to stay in the court. I just took this opportunity to learn more about the rules and regulations of interstellar life, so I thought about it and said,
"Okay, but I will give you three days at most. After three days, I still have to leave, no Maybe just for your 'special notice', I can stay indefinitely." The
court has a special room for witnesses, and it is not a problem to connect to Skynet in it. People from the Secret Service helped to contact, and Yunxi stayed in the safe witness room and continued to study in the virtual space.
In the "Interstellar University City", I have graduated from art classes, music classes and other relatively simple courses. In anthropology, anatomy is full marks with eyes closed. Various hormones produced by the human body also score high. It was man-made... After all, there was a gap of thousands of years, and she didn't know the chemical composition of the hormones produced by many interstellar people, so she handed in a blank paper, but she just made up a few points during the make-up exam, and she passed smoothly.
With four passing marks, she has completed half of her school courses. The rest is basic mathematics and physics, etc. The accumulation of thousands of years cannot be done by surprise study in a year and a half.
Yunxi was not impatient, and made a study plan for herself step by step. Learning a little every day, I don't believe that what the interstellar children can master, she can't learn the extraordinary!
Besides, her goal is not to become a great scholar or a great manufacturer, but to complete her studies! There's no reason it can't be done.
It has to be said that strong self-confidence is the foundation of Yunxi's life and work. And the current leader of the Frozen Man, "Xiaka", is also an extremely smart person, but he doesn't believe that the millennium gap can be artificially made up, or he is unwilling to make efforts—why let the Frozen Man catch up with the Interstellar man? People compromise, isn't it all right?
This is the tragic death of Alpha's 100,000 frozen people.
As long as you have a little self-confidence, you won't commit such a crime.
Three days passed, four days passed. Yunxi was so busy planning key points and making assessments that she almost forgot the time. When I thought about it, I realized that seven days had passed before I knew it!
Now, she didn't want to stay any longer. Although the treatment in the witness room of the court is not bad, it is not a place to stay for a long time!
"Wait, Lin Tian'er!"
As she was packing things—to be precise, it was Yunxi who was going to pack up the drafts she had handwritten over the years, a lot of calculation formulas and memorized knowledge points, and the soldier who was leading before showed her a paragraph video.
"The first interstellar team composed of all female supernatural powers announced its disbandment a few days ago. It is reported that the former captain Claudia resigned earlier because of childbirth. This is probably the smartest decision she made. Sixty percent of Congress The above congressmen are very indignant about their private participation in the massacre of civilians."
"The former Lieutenant Mechel, who was also from the independent team, was jointly sued by all the people on the mother planet and Lin Tianer, a federal citizen. She herself was also accused of violating military orders. , was secretly sentenced to 20 years in prison. As for civil cases such as infringement, they will be heard separately."
"In particular, Ms. Fang Lin Tian'er has been identified as a supernatural person. Her germ cells are of extraordinary value, and Mechel firmly refuses to disclose the purchaser. He never mentioned the whereabouts of the egg. People in the know are not optimistic about the outcome of his trial."
Yunxi was stunned!
She has only been studying in seclusion for a few days, why does it feel like the world has changed?
"What? Mechel was sentenced to 20 years in prison? What, what's going on?"
"Obviously, the forces behind her abandoned her. How much benefit she received before, now not only have to spit it all out, but also double repay it "
Yunxi couldn't believe it, "I'm in jail, how can I repay it? Oh!" After all, she is not a fool, and she figured out the key in an instant, "Mechel told me that fulfilling the agreement was only the last time, and the main goal was to get me Guardianship!"
"Yes. She and the person behind her probably reached some kind of agreement. It is estimated that you have no background ability, Lin Tian'er, and you have broken ties with the Hua and Xia clans, so you want to take this opportunity. Get your guardianship. After you get the guardianship, all your future eggs... will belong to them."
"But what I never expected is that your body has recovered very well, and you have awakened in such a short period of time Supernatural ability! This is where they made a mistake, and it is also your luck. If you wake up a few days later, your situation will be completely different."
Yunxi was also a little scared, "It's too cruel, I have no grievances with her, You actually hurt me so much!"
Looking at Mechel again at this time, she was not only bored, but disgusted. The two of you got along a bit unhappy at first, and those were small conflicts. People have different habits, so if you can be tolerant, be tolerant. How could she have imagined that Mei Xieer had her eye on her, not only wanted her to provide an egg for free, but also wanted to imprison her freedom and sell her eggs for the rest of her life!
This kind of behavior is beyond Yunxi's bottom line. She didn't have any regrets about accusing Mechel before, and even... If she had the chance, she would kill Mechel herself!
"It's more than that. In the past few days, some people originally supported the trial of civil tort cases at the same time, which was nothing more than adding three to five years of imprisonment, but they were dismissed for inexplicable reasons. Ms. Jiang Jingfei was very concerned and used some connections to find out , it turns out that Mechel's husband, Hart, took all the money from the couple's joint account."
"And her husband also has something to do with it? The 30 million?"
"Yes. This is a large amount of property, and its whereabouts are unknown. Ms. Jiang Jingfei believes that Mr. Hart is likely to act irrationally for his wife. Thirty million is enough to seduce some department personnel who are not so determined. She asked a few family friends to help monitor the place where Mechel was being held."
Yunxi nodded silently after listening.
She had only met Hart a few times and didn't know much about him, but she could tell that he actually cared about Mechel. In order to save his wife in prison, it is believed that Hart does not care about property.
"This is the video material of the supervision at that time." The
sergeant called up a video on the projector of the personal terminal, and continued, "Hart's parents were both high-ranking officials who were killed by insects, although they lived in a nursery for a while when they were young. However, after he grew up, he entered the army smoothly. After awakening his abilities, his qualifications improved steadily, and he was always helped by his parents and colleagues. After he married Mechel, he retired from the army and said to the outside world that he was "supporting the family". Mechel has never used the money in the joint account at all! Otherwise, there is no need to sell eggs because of financial constraints."
"Ms. Jiang Jingfei, I suspect that Mr. Hart's business in recent years has the shadow of some powerful family , seems to be invisible. If so, then the money he can actually control is not 30 million! Maybe ten times more!"
"Such a person is very dangerous! There are layers of protection from the mother star. It is impossible to attack more than 120 home planets at the same time, so, Lin Tianer, you once had a serious conflict with Mechel and filed a complaint, he may regard you as an enemy and retaliate by any means."
Yunxi understands "It turns out that you are afraid that Mr. Hart will target me. But there is no deep hatred between me and him... Also, he has no choice but to take out his anger on me for those powerful forces that caused Mechel to go to prison."
" It's not just that." The
sergeant took a deep breath, let the video play forward for a minute, and stopped when it reached a critical point.
When Yunxi took a look, she saw the normal prison screen just now, and a puff of smoke suddenly appeared. The video is very clear, but it is impossible to tell where the smoke is coming from.
Is there a fire on the lower level, or is the smoke drifting down from the upper level?
Anyway, this cloud of smoke appeared, and Mechel, wearing an orange prison uniform, lay motionless on the ground.
until the end of the video.
Yunxi felt chills when she saw it.
"This smoke...is poisonous?"
"Yes. Ms. Mechel lost her breath three days ago. The prison confirmed the cause of her death. The army expressed regret and sent Mechel's former friend to collect the body for her. Her husband, Mr. Hart, stole all the money, not for the purpose of clearing up the relationship, but for revenge!"
Yunxi rubbed her forehead, she hated Mechel very much. But it was hard to describe the feeling in my heart when I found out that the other party had died like this without even saying a last word.
"Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know. It should be done by a supernatural person. At present, it is impossible to judge whether it is one or two cooperation. Ms. Jiang Jingfei hopes that she can sneak into a tight prison and kill people without anyone noticing." You can make a decision as soon as possible. YC is the first protection sequence in Interstellar, protecting your safety to the greatest extent."
Yunxi did not immediately agree.
Because she agreed, it was only from the closed witness room of the court to YC's laboratory. There is not much difference between the two in actual sense.
The former at least she can leave if she wants to.
"How many contacts do you have with Hart?"
"Contacts? Oh, do you mean the colleagues of Mr. Hart's parents? His parents have served in the two major legions. There are at least a hundred companions who have worked together. It is not yet certain Who did he ask for help?"
Yunxi thought quickly in her mind, "Don't go looking for his parents. It's been so long, if someone spared no effort to help him, he would have gained a foothold in the military and become a high-ranking official. Will become the captain of the business. Mechel... have you found out who is behind Mechel's back and sued me?"
"It's the Taoist family. Do you remember the last time you came to the court to participate in the trial? That time you made a statement here, explaining that maglev appeared in the era of the mother star. And maglev is the basis of flying car technology. The Taoist family is because of this The patent has enjoyed hundreds of years of dividends, and even got merit points. Because of your appearance, everything is gone, so I hold a grudge against you."
"I see."
Yunxi finally understood who was behind the plot She also breathed a sigh of relief. Don't be afraid of many enemies, but be afraid that the enemies will hide in the dark and not be noticed.
"In addition, there should be some people involved, because the reputation of the Taoist family is not very good. Ms. Jiang Jingfei judged that Mechel is a supernatural being, and she is arrogant. She doesn't even take money from the joint account that her husband gave her. I won't accept orders from a notorious family."
"The Taoist family should be a pawn sent by the person behind the scenes to attract attention."
"Well, then, is the Taoist family rich?"
"What?" The sergeant asked a little puzzled.
Yunxi asked again, "Does the Taoist family have any money?"
"Is this... related to Mr. Hart seeking revenge on you?"
"Of course it does. If there is no money, how can I ask for compensation afterwards!" Yunxi said confidently.
