    Chapter 86 Traitor (1)

    On the eighth floor of the Jin Ilun Military Building, in the Office of the Temporary Inspector.

    "Hey, it's all work now."

    Zheng Yue's eyes lit up as he tapped the virtual screen with his ten fingers, and arranged several captured surveillance videos into several small windows.

    "Lieutenant General Luther, you believe that there are moths in the golden sun wheel now, the iron is like a mountain."

    Several sections of monitoring are arranged in order. The first window is a picture of several mechas landing from the starry sky. The second window is a picture of the mecha disappearing at the other end of Aslan City in the dark. The last window is very beautiful. Blurred, but still vaguely able to see the mechas falling into the back garden of a huge mansion.

    At the same time, there are also the proof of the departure and return of the starship provided by the Aerborn Star City, the proof that the Aslan Star City has not received the proof of the landing of the starship, and various evidences that Zheng Yue himself investigated some time ago.

    These things are not conclusively convincing when picked out individually, but when spliced ​​together in this way, a complete logical chain is formed—

    Someone intercepted this autumn batch of true crystal mines from the inside of the Golden Sun Wheel and transferred them to this private mansion.

    "This this……"

    Beside the desk, Lieutenant General Luther stretched his neck in disbelief.

    The old-fashioned old general slammed his fist on the corner of the table, his face was red and then ashen, and his words were incoherent in shock and anger: "How...

    Jiang Jianming sat on the seat facing the desk, with one hand on his forehead, his eyes slowly scanned the videos, and he said, "Yeah, there is no reason."

    Facing the young inspector who was almost one-third of his age, Lieutenant General Luther broke down in cold sweat and lowered his head in a hurry: "Your Excellency inspector, this, this is indeed the crime of lax supervision. Jin Rilun How could such a major dereliction of duty happen within the army..."

    "Old General," Jiang Jianming interrupted him lightly, tapping his index finger on the corner of the table, "now the thief didn't stole a piece or two of real crystal ore, but emptied an entire starship. From top to bottom, there were only Major Zheng Yue found the clue alone - and then he was fired from the military by Kim Il-lun?"

    "That day, the transport ship of the Jin Ilun carried the mecha interference wave transmitter and rushed into the Jiuye River. They wanted to kill people. Zheng Yue and I almost lost our lives in the river. The military ship of the Jin Ilun is like this. Are foreign enemies used as knives?"

    "As for the undisciplined military discipline, I won't talk about the domineering of the powerful."

    Jiang Jianming glanced out the window. In the clean corridor, several Jin Ilun soldiers walked over while chatting.

    He whispered: "I can't even tell how many people in this tall building are loyal soldiers of the empire..."

    "……Your Mightiness!"

    Lieutenant General Luther's face became more and more pale, and he knelt down on one knee, "It is because the subordinate officials are not strict in governing the army, resulting in frequent omissions within the Golden Sun Wheel, and the sin is unforgivable!"

    "However, Your Excellency, the lower official guarantees this old life and all the military honors in this life!" The lieutenant general raised his excited face and beat his chest with his fists, "Golden Sunwheel... Most of the imperial soldiers of the Golden Sunwheel are It's innocent! Please allow the lower officials to immediately send troops to block this house and conduct a search and investigation!!"

    Jiang Jianming stared at Lieutenant General Luther's expression and behavior for a long time, and initially judged that the old man seemed to be ignorant.

    He stopped irritating Lieutenant General Luther for the time being, and instead gestured at the screen on the monitor with his eyes: "Which big house is this, it looks very rich."

    Zheng Yue said from the side at the right time: "Oh, this seems to be a house of the Brandon family, little sir."

    Since knowing the true identity of the little lord and the relationship behind him, his whole person seems to have become more energetic in an instant, and his courage has also expanded rapidly. Even in the face of Lieutenant General Luther, the former old boss, there was no stage fright at all.

    Lieutenant General? Humph... What's wrong with the lieutenant general, we were the one who handed milk to the little lord this morning, the crown prince who had watched the "deceitful corpse" with his own eyes!

    Jiang Jianming frowned, feeling absurd enough to want to laugh: "Why is this family again?"

    Lieutenant General Luther did not dare to slack off, and said with the cold sweat on his forehead: "Your Excellency! It is a serious crime to hide the true crystal ore, and according to the law, the highest punishment can be death, not to mention that it is suspected of collusion with the evil forces of the thief... ...Xiaguan immediately sent troops to control the Brandon family and obey the Empire!"

    "Old General, please be patient, I will give you a chance to prove your innocence."

    Jiang Jianming was very stable. He raised his eyes and glanced at the electronic clock, and casually stretched out his hand to adjust the neckline, "It's almost time."

    Lieutenant General Luther: "Time?"

    Jiang Jianming gave a "hmm" and pointed to the back of his chair: "Later, you two don't do anything, don't say anything, just stand here."

    ...

    A moment later, the office door was knocked.

    With electronic glasses and sparse blond hair, Staff Officer Duke walked in with a dark face, holding a piece of paper full of writing in his hand.

    Jiang Jianming, dressed in a platinum military uniform, sat upright behind the desk, his fingers crossed into a tower with gloves, and smiled slightly: "Staff Duke, have you come to hand in the transcript?"

    "Inspector."

    Duke's face was very ugly. He first glanced at Lieutenant General Luther and Zheng Yue who were standing beside him, and then walked slowly to the desk.

    He put the piece of paper in front of Jiang Jianming: "Yes, I'm done writing..."

    despair.

    Before he finished speaking, the pupils of Staff Officer Duke shrank in astonishment - he lowered his head stiffly, the silver-gray muzzle pressed against his heart.

    Jiang Jianming still kept a smile, holding the Wing of Venus in one hand, but his eyes were like a sharpened sword: "I have obtained iron proof that you colluded with the Brandon family to help transfer the real crystal mine."

    He said warmly, "I only give you one chance to confess and be lenient."

    "Lieutenant General Luther is here. If you don't explain it, I can shoot you on the spot."

    "..."

    Behind Jiang Jianming, Zheng Yue's eyes widened, and when he turned his head, he saw Lieutenant General Luther, who was equally astonished.

    ——The front foot caught the evidence overnight, and the back foot drew the gun on the spot to intimidate the accomplice suspect?

    The interval is less than twenty minutes, this motherfucker is too fierce! ?

    Before the black muzzle, Duke's face instantly turned white, but he still forced a smile: "Your Excellency Supervisor, Inspector, what are you kidding? This..."

    He said, subconsciously trying to push his glasses.

    Jiang Jianming pressed the trigger lightly with his finger, and said lightly, "Don't move, raise your hand and speak."

    The blood on Duke's face faded again, and he forced a smile and dared not move, "No, Your Excellency Jiang, you are really a little bit..."

    "—I said, raise your hand to speak."

    The cold light in Jiang Jianming's eyes is too bright, and he has no false intention to kill: "The gun in my hand is a new crystal weapon, and I used it to kill real alien creatures... Staff officer, I pulled the trigger. At that moment, even if you condense a crystal bone, it will not help you, you will only be killed on the spot."

    Staff Officer Duke's calf went numb, and he raised his hands tremblingly, feeling his cheeks twitching while barely keeping a smile.

    "Lieutenant General, this, this..." Duke turned his eyes to the old General Luther with difficulty, "Haha, there is some misunderstanding. You say, you say, I can explain."

    The old general stared at a pair of eagle eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved——

    No way, His Excellency the Inspector will not let him speak!

    Even if he himself is confused now, the innocence of most of his life and the honor of the Golden Sun Wheel are on the tip of his tongue!

    So Lieutenant General Luther remained silent, staring at Duke like an iron door god.

    "..."

    "..."

    The cold sweat on Duke's forehead grew more and more, but he couldn't wipe his forehead with his sleeve. He could only let the sweat drip down his nose and the corners of his eyes, which made him blink again and again: "General, general... General?"

    Jiang Jianming smiled: "Look, do people take care of you?"

    Duke's eyes gradually climbed to the bloodshot: "Inspector, Shu Xiaguan is unacceptable. You said that I colluded... colluded with outsiders to steal the real crystal mine, what evidence is there!?"

    Jiang Jianming pulled the virtual screen and turned it to him. Duke glanced at it and screamed as if his tail had been stepped on: "What is this, eh? Show me what these mean, I don't know these mechas at all, do you want to insist that I ordered it? You have no evidence at all!"

    "This kind of behavior is to subdue and slander the soldiers of the Empire! Even if you have the support of the old marshal behind you, the laws of the Empire will not allow it..."

    Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and shook his head to interrupt him: "Officer Duke, why is it so ugly?"

    "Do you have to tell me that yesterday you went to see the eldest young master of the Brandon family, did you give up?"

    Behind Jiang Jianming, Zheng Yue and Lieutenant General Luther opened their eyes inconceivably.

    Yesterday... Duke and Brandon met?

    Needless to say, Duke's instantly changed face has proved everything.

    Sure enough, the staff officer blushed and said: "Me! We, me, we are just... personal friends, the content of the conversation is private!"

    Did they really meet and conspire?

    Zheng Yue was surprised and happy in his heart, he didn't know how to worship. Yesterday, Your Excellency has been busy investigating the matter of the starship. How did he know Duke's whereabouts?

    And the old general Luther shuddered, and he flashed back to the image of yesterday's collective meeting. The young inspector surnamed Jiang calmly asked Duke to write a copy and hand it over to the office tomorrow...

    After the meeting yesterday, the senior officers of Jin Ilun were discussing the "Qing Qi" means of standing up to the inspector.

    But now it seems that the Inspector has planned this scene since then?

    Luther's eyes gradually changed, and he looked again at the back of the pale and thin young man in front of him.

    If Your Excellency was prepared to catch Duke by surprise today, it would mean that he only gave himself one night to catch the real killer behind the scenes.

    What kind of person is this...

    As he was thinking about it, he heard Jiang Jianming kicked the foot of the table, put away the smile and changed a cold face, and said faintly: "Counsel Duke, let me tell you the truth now that everything you conspired, the old marshal has long ago I know it."

    He sneered: "Otherwise, what do you think? Can a young man like me really check all the evidence in just one night?"

    "..."

    Zheng Yue's adoring eyes were sluggish for a moment and almost broke.

    Jiang Jianming glanced back at him just right: "Even Major Zheng's falling into the water was planned. It's just to numb you."

    Lieutenant General Luther gradually revealed a look of surprise and shame.

    It turned out to be the commander-in-chief Yingming.

    Zheng Yue numbly thought to himself: How could he not know that he was planning to lose his rank, run away from his wife, and almost drown himself! ?

    The little Your Excellency looks quiet and kind, but he can be so bluffing...

    As soon as he was so thoughtful, he looked up again, and was surprised to see that Duke's facial features were already beating ferociously, his eyes were blood red, like a beast that was cornered.

    An ominous premonition flashed in Zheng Yue's heart.

    The next moment, Duke roared frantically, and the light on his fists skyrocketed—the crystal-like substance condensed and formed at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

    The lilac crystal bones were like a pair of crystal heavy hammers, slamming into Jiang Jianming's face and heart!

    All of this is between lightning bolts and fires. The distance between Duke and Jiang Jianming is too close, and it does not take a second for the crystal bone to pierce a person's body from being released.

    However, Jiang Jianming had already prevented Duke from violently killing people. At this moment, he was extremely calm and slid under the table by the curvature of the chair!

    After a loud bang, the entire table was smashed by crystal bones, and sawdust and metal flew around. Jiang Jianming rolled on the ground for two laps in this chaos, then got up, and raised the Venus Wings——

    He just said that he would be shot on the spot, but what he actually thought was to be caught alive. Jiang Jianming's eyes widened, and he fired two shots in a row, aiming at Duke's legs!

    There was a scream, and blood splashed on the wall. Duke dodged the first shot, only to be hit in the left leg by the second, staggering and falling to the window.

    "Duke!!"

    Zheng Yue roared, and Lieutenant General Luther released the crystal bone almost at the same time, and rushed towards Staff Officer Duke.

    Jiang Jianming saw Duke reach out and stroke his other wrist with sharp eyes.

    This action was all too familiar to him, Jiang Jianming's heart trembled and he shouted, " step back!!"

    The next second, a corner of the eighth floor of the Jin Rilun Building suddenly set off fire and explosions.

    "what"

    "What's wrong!?"

    Countless pedestrians in the distance turned their heads in horror, or hugged their heads and screamed. The behemoth swept over their heads, bringing a gust of wind.

    ——It's a folding mecha!

    The bloodied Zheng Yue and Lieutenant General Luther both raised their heads and looked in amazement at the mecha that smashed through the window and the wall and rushed towards the sky in Aslan City.

    This is not Yin Beidou, where there will be battles at any time, but Jin Rilun stationed in the empire - a mere staff officer who actually has a folding mecha! ?

    A figure swept across the sight of the two of them.

    Jiang Jianming didn't hesitate at all. He turned over and jumped out of the building gap where the smoke was billowing. The silver-white bracelet on his left hand flashed in the sunlight.

    He shouted fiercely, "Xuejiu—flying state!"

    In the dazzling light, the intelligent brain Seth Henry manipulated the mecha S-Xueguo and assembled it directly in the air. Xuejiu was like a beautiful white crane in the clouds, carrying Jiang Jianming and chasing the mecha that Duke was riding.
