Marshal Chu was able to fight coldly with the members of the House of Representatives for two or three hours, and tell each other every detail of the battle of the Abyss Fleet, but at this moment, the language was poor.

It seems that because the two are used to being accompanied by silence, after being together for so long, Marshal Chu's self-analysis and expression skills have not improved at all.

He couldn't explain himself clearly, and the words that came out of his lips could only ask why, and then try to give a solution.

"Nothing...it's not right," Lin Xu lowered his eyelashes, feeling a little confused in his expression for a moment, "He showed me the diary written by a corpse on Planet G398 before he died, which recorded the past events of the Ark Fleet."

He was no better than Heinrich in his willingness and ability to express his emotions.

"That diary is...the reason why Marianna was the target of the assassination?"

"Yes." Lin Xu pulled Heinrich's hand off his face, and the two of them crossed their fingers and walked out along the field surrounded by the sea of ​​flowers, "Chen Jingshan has always known about this, he even knows about it. Who gave the order to assassinate Marianna, but he didn't want to tell me."

"why?"

"He may think that it's useless for me to know, but will be in danger. Telling me the truth is also to make me give up the idea of ​​continuing to explore."

"By the way," Lin Xu suddenly thought of Chen Jingshan's exhortation, "The person we caught on Second Avenue was Chen Jingshan's friend. The original intention was to protect me and let Arnold let him go as soon as possible."

As soon as Lin Xu returned to Capital Star, Chen Jingshan couldn't wait to arrange manpower to protect his safety. Similarly, when he asked Lin Xu if he had rushed to kill those people, he never really felt that Lin Xu could do this, always Treat Lin Xu as a child who needs protection.

Lin Xu has a thousand ways to make those people die unnoticed. Others will only regard it as accidental or unfortunate fate. The most dangerous situation is that the investigators link the identities of these people together and speculate that there may be some a deliberate murderer.

"And what about himself? After knowing the murderer, what is he going to do?"

Heinrich has only seen Chen Jingshan twice, and the only impression of him is that he is a disciplined, gentle Alpha officer who loves his wife deeply.

The adjectives disciplined and gentle do not mean cowardice.

If Chen Jingshan's application to be transferred to the Michael Galaxy is escaping, then he has no need and will not have the courage to return to the Capital Star just to explain a truth to Lin Xu.

But at the end of the conversation, Chen Jingshan was vague about his reasons for staying at Capital Star, no matter what he wanted to do, he didn't want to involve Lin Xu.

There are only two ways to avenge Marianna, one is to kill those people on your own, and the other is to try to file a lawsuit in court if enough evidence can be collected.

But the latter... the probability of success is very small, and Chen Jingshan's words revealed the attitude that killing a few people is not enough.

Lin Xu didn't answer Heinrich's question directly, but thought about it and said, "He took you away before talking to me and kept a vigilant attitude towards you."

"Because I also have aristocratic status," Heinrich speculated.

"Yes, but he didn't stop me from telling you the truth."

"Because I have no interest in the real murderer behind the scenes, he trusts your judgment and is not worried."

"He's just worried about what he's going to do leaking out in front of you."

Heinrich and Lin Xu pieced together Chen Jingshan's attitude and the unconscious hints behind his language.

"He may be targeting the entire noble group."

Lin Xu couldn't help thinking of the situation when he was discussing how to solve the real murderer behind the scenes on the Victoria not long ago. Ika suggested that the way to directly kill the entire noble group of the Marion Empire is very simple. Turn on the star destroyer and aim at the capital star. Then, boom-

If the point-to-point assassination scheme is feasible but ineffective, the overall annihilation scheme of the Star Destroyer Artillery is effective but not feasible.

But what else is there to do?

In Lin Xu's impression, Chen Jingshan did not have strong energy and resources in the political and military circles, and he did not have the ability to rise up in response to all calls.

There is insufficient information to draw conclusions at this time.

After thinking all the way, the two returned to the aircraft take-off and landing site at the top of the "Flute" building, and Chen Jingshan actually stood at the door waiting.

As Lin Xu gradually approached, he took a few steps forward and handed Lin Xu a key-shaped chip, "Xiao Xu, this is the key to the flute sound. In the past, Marianna prepared a room for you here, but unfortunately I haven't. The opportunity will bring you, and you can come and live here anytime in the future."

Lin Xu glanced at Chen Jingshan silently. Chen Jingshan was smiling on his tired face, hoping to dilute the quarrel and embarrassment between the two.

Lin Xu took the key, and before leaving, Chen Jingshan said, "If you encounter any problems, you can come to me."

Heinrich went to start the aircraft, Lin Xu paused, "Can you solve any of my problems?"

"Do my best."

When he returned to Lin Xu's hut, the hemisphere of Endymion had completely sunk into the night, the thick clouds were blown into flocs, and faint stars flickered between the gaps.

Stepping off the aircraft, a group of courier delivery robots huddled in front of the house woke up from the sleep power-saving mode, and turned their heads 180° in unison, facing Lin Xu and Heinrich who were approaching, and various warning lights competed for each other. Flickering, countless sign-off screens jumped in front of Lin Xu.

Lin Xu glanced at the express box full of steps, "Heinrich, did you buy it?"

He remembers that he only ordered wood and paint for the repairs to the house.

"Well." Heinrich walked up to the robot and signed the recipients for himself one by one. He had hardly used commercial express in the past, and the actions of operating the sign-in system were a bit rusty, "I...I asked Zhou Pingbo, and his lover He made a list for Arnold about what to add to live together."
