    Ye Bai never thought that the first time he came to the military headquarters where Huo Chengyuan worked was as a suspect.

    Wearing handcuffs, he got out of the military vehicle and was escorted into the prison where prisoners are temporarily held by the picket section of the military headquarters.

    This kind of temporary prison is just a transitional station. Many people are locked in each room, and soldiers with guns are patrolling outside.Ye Bai was pushed into one of the cells, and the people in the prison immediately looked over, with all kinds of eyes.

    Although he was mentally prepared, Ye Bai was still a little embarrassed when he was suddenly stuffed into a large mixed cell. He turned his head to look at the soldiers who were escorting him. They locked the cell door and left, and the leading officer was nowhere to be seen., This is completely different from Ye Bai's expected process of interrogation first and then detention.

    "Oh, brother, you are so handsome." A beautiful lady who was also handcuffed and handcuffed by the iron fence winked at Ye Bai and said with a smile, "Come on, tell me that you were framed to come here."Let us be happy too, hahaha."

    Ye Bai was startled: "How do you know I was framed?"

    The glamorous lady said "huh": "Isn't this obvious? If there is a law and order crime, it will be transferred to the police station directly. The picket team of the military department has no time to deal with small cases of cats and dogs. If it is reported to the military departmentThe place of detention for vicious crimes under the jurisdiction is not here, but a dungeon with stricter security. After screening, those who can be held in the bail area here are most likely to be framed and taken advantage of. No matter how terrible the crime is, as long as you pay enoughProtection fee, a few days of symbolic detention can get out."

    Eh?Is that right?

    Ye Bai blinked. He glanced at the soldiers patrolling the corridor outside, moved closer to the lady, and asked in a low voice.

    "Is this kind of framing an individual act of the law enforcement team, or is it an instruction from their immediate superior?"

    The lady looked at him with loving eyes of "you are such a simple baby": "If the people above do not take the lead, would the people below dare to do this?"

    Ye Bai understood: Isn't this just using the power in your hand to blackmail the people?That Commander Yin Duan is quite good at making money, even this kind of oil and water will not be spared.

    I don't know if I was arrested and the commander knew about it, even if the people below don't know, he, a colleague who is at the same level as Huo Chengyuan, should know the relationship between Huo Chengyuan and himself, right?

    Ye Bai was thinking about it, but the chatty lady couldn't help but gossip: "After asking me so much, brother, shouldn't it be time for you to tell me about your situation?"

    "Oh." Ye Bai came back to his senses, and said honestly, "My crime is to produce poison and hide plants for producing poison."

    "Huh?" The lady raised her beautiful eyebrows. "I heard that drug-related crimes are under the jurisdiction of the new commander. Could it be that he has also started to join forces?"

    The new Commander?Ye Bai was startled.Does this mean Huo Chengyuan?However, the smugglers/drugs imported from outside the planet seem to belong to Huo Chengyuan's jurisdiction.

    "It should just be a random accusation for me." Ye Bai immediately defended his boyfriend, "The new commander is an upright and good man, so he won't engage in such extortion."

    "Who knows?" Ms. Meiyan shrugged her shoulders and said with a half-smile, "Anyway, I don't believe how kind these high-level officials would be. I've entered the palace for the second time. They charged me with espionage, but IMy father is very rich, and those people on the picket team are greedy for high bail money, so they dare not do anything to me. When the money is in place, I can go out." She looked at Ye Bai, and said in a familiar and sophisticated tone, "What about you?Can your parents raise a high bail for you?" "Uh, I don't have parents." Before the other party showed a sympathetic expression, Ye Bai quickly added, "But I have a cohabiting boyfriend, he should be able toI'll get it out, but he won't be back until tomorrow night."

    Ye Bai's image in this lady's heart immediately became "a poor little girl whose parents are dead and only relies on her boyfriend to support her."Get in touch and see how much money he can get. If the money is enough, you will be fine tonight and tomorrow night, but if it doesn't meet their extortion standards..." She paused slightly and lowered her voice, "Before your boyfriend comes, I'm afraid you will suffer."

    "What's the matter?" Ye Bai was a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Will they still torture them?"

    "With your cute little appearance, they might not be willing to fight you," the lady looked at him sympathetically, "but it's inevitable to be taken advantage of. Those psychopaths like you the most."Spiritual young boy."

    Ye Bai: "..."

    While talking, two people came from a distance, Ye Bai recognized at a glance: These are the two soldiers who escorted him in at first.

    They exchanged a few words with the gate guard outside in a low voice, the latter opened the cell, Ye Bai was dragged out, before he could say anything, a black hood had been put on his head, and he couldn't see anything.

    Ye Bai heard the woman in the prison gasp, which made Ye Bai realize immediately: his situation seems to be very bad, at least his treatment is completely different from those ordinary prisoners waiting for bail, otherwise the secondThe ladies who entered the palace would never be so surprised.

    He was held down by the shoulder again and escorted forward.Because his eyes were covered, Ye Bai didn't know where the road led to. He asked aloud, but the two soldiers didn't speak, so Ye Bai could only follow passively.An elevator, and finally came to a closed room.

    Ye Bai was pressed to sit on a chair, the shackles on his hands were removed, and a new pair of shackles were put on soon.When the black hood was taken off, the sudden influx of light made Ye Bai unbearably close his eyes. It took him a while to get used to it, and he could see the surrounding scene clearly.

    This was obviously an interrogation room, and there were two people sitting at the opposite table, both unfamiliar faces that Ye Bai had never seen before, one of them looked at the documents in his hand, then at Ye Bai, and said routinely.

    "Name?"

    Ye Bai: "...Ye Bai."

    "gender?"

    "male."

    That person threw a page of documents in his hand in front of Ye Bai, and the other person stuffed a pen into Ye Bai's hand.

    "Let's sign."

    Ye Bai: "?" Ye Bai lowered his head and took a look. Although he couldn't understand some of the sentences in it, most of the sentences could be read smoothly. This should be a confession letter, the content of which is to say that he confessed his crime.Signature is an acknowledgment.

    Ye Bai almost laughed angrily: "You didn't ask me anything, and you just asked me to sign? You have to talk about the evidence process when handling a case, right?"

    "The facts of your crime are clear and the evidence is unmistakable. What else is there to ask?" The interrogator said coldly, "I advise you to confess your guilt obediently, and don't toast or eat fine wine."

    The other person sitting next to the interrogator had already started to snap his fingers with an uneasy expression, and his voice was crackling. Ye Bai felt that if he didn't cooperate, he could have a feast of combined fists at any time.

    "..."

    Knowing that it would be no good to confront these people head-on, Ye Bai compromised: "How much bail money do you want? The issue of money is negotiable."

    "Heh, you still want to be released on bail for such an important case?" The other party sneered and continued to urge, "I'm dreaming, hurry up and sign!"

    Eh?

    Ye Bai looked at the expressions of the two people opposite him calmly, feeling that they didn't seem to be up for sale, but really didn't want to talk about the issue of bail.

    Could it be that the reason why I was arrested was different from that lady, the picket team didn't actually want my money?

    Ye Bai was puzzled, so he carefully looked at the confession in his hand, and found that at the end of the official content, there was a line of small characters, which roughly meant: his crime involved a trans-galactic gang crime, and he needed to start the process of joint law enforcement.After the long shepherd star military department closes the case, it will be transferred to another place (the name is not understood) immediately, and continue to cooperate with the investigation there.

    ... Niu, even cross-border law enforcement has been arranged, do you want to mobilize the crowd like this?

    Ye Bai was shocked by this script, and at the same time, he also had a new question: If these people are not trying to make money, and they insist on getting him to sign, is it possible that their purpose is to "legally transfer" himself?

    Could it be that the real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is to let himself leave the long shepherd star and fall into his hands?It took such a lot of trouble that even the strength of the military department was mobilized, just to smuggle himself out?What are they plotting?

    The more Ye Bai thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt. His social relationship here is very simple. He has no other social activities except frequent visits to the Botanical Research Association recently.Not so... eh?

    Ye Bai was taken aback, and he suddenly thought: A few days ago, Mr. Ulay had been persuading him to leave Long Shepherd Star.The look of letting go.

    Could it be that Mr. Ulay was behind this incident?

    ...Isn't that the case, are all headhunters working so hard nowadays?Kidnap if you can't find someone?

    Ye Bai was amused by his own guess, just as he was about to rule out this possibility, the conversation with Huo Chengyuan in the afternoon inadvertently flashed through his mind——

    "The top management of Wutuo Consortium has been in touch with Yin Duan..."

    Ye Bai: "..."

    Wait, it seems like it's even possible??

    After this line was strung together, Ye Bai suddenly felt that everything could be explained: No wonder when he asked for short-term help, Mr. Ulay talked about him and didn't answer at all, because their real purpose was not to let him goTaking a job is so simple, but let yourself "reasonably disappear"——

    Signing a long-term contract to go away, or committing a felony and being handed over to another planet, the result is that you can disappear from the sight of relatives and friends, and people around you will not be suspicious of it; but if you go out to help for a short time, butIf you don't return for a long time, it will arouse the vigilance of the people around you, making the subsequent development of the situation uncontrollable.

    Ye Bai couldn't help frowning.

    So, what exactly are those people trying to get themselves to do?Do you even need to be isolated from the world for a long time to avoid people's eyes and ears?Are they working on some secret project that cannot be known to the outside world?

    Seeing the young man bowed his head in silence, the interrogator thought he was going to resist to the end, so he winked at the assistant, who was about to get up when the young man suddenly raised his head.

    "Okay, I'll sign."

    Ye Bai signed the document neatly. He signed so happily that the interrogator was taken aback for a moment - he had seen too many people who were arrested on trumped-up charges, and most of them would have a tough attitude.There are also some people who will be scared to death, cry into tears, and dare not sign a contract, but these people will obediently admit their cowardice after learning a lesson without exception, and they will not be willingSign this plea.

    As for the young man in front of him, if you say he is afraid, he doesn't seem to be too scared, if you say he is tough, he just verbally threatened him, and the other party lay down quickly and flatly, and the degree of cooperation was rare.

    The interrogator looked at Ye Bai suspiciously, took the signed confession letter, and checked it.

    Well, it is indeed a normal signature, not a ghostly talisman, and it is really not a trick.

    He handed the confession letter to his assistant, who took it and left the interrogation room. Ye Bai caught the interrogator's gaze casually sweeping over the floor-to-ceiling mirror on the wall next to him, and he looked there calmly.glance.

    According to his experience of watching criminal investigation dramas, the mirrors in the interrogation room are basically one-way glass mirrors. If he guessed correctly, the mastermind involved in this incident may be watching the scene in the next room.

    As Ye Bai expected, sitting in the next room was the army minister who was in charge of arresting him, and Ulay, the resident representative of the Utop Consortium.

    The interrogator's assistant pushed the door open and handed the confession letter to the officer. The officer glanced at it and nodded.

    "No problem." He also showed Ulay the document in his hand, "Isn't this very cooperative? Maybe if you threaten or persuade him before, he will be willing to leave with you, and there is no need for us to take action.".”

    Ulay glanced at the confession letter. He was delighted at the smooth progress of the matter. He was immediately busy sending messages and reporting the situation to his superiors, and his communication with the people around him was a bit careless: "Maybe, but the people above are in a hurry, I can only trouble you.”

    The officer immediately frowned, and he had a lot of complaints about Ulay's understatement: "We have also told you about the situation here. After Commander Huo came over by air, the operation of many things is not as easy as before. You guysTry not to involve us in matters that you can solve by yourself, this is what Commander Yin Duan means, if something happens and a hole that can't be filled is created, it will be of no benefit to both parties."

    Hearing the dissatisfaction of the other party, Ulay suspended the operation of sending messages, raised his head and smiled apologetically: "I know your difficulties, but this time it's not a special situation. Does the higher-ups have to see people immediately? Matters are prioritized, this time there is a reason, and that Commander Huo will only come back tomorrow night, let's move faster and transport the people away before he comes back, so there will be no loopholes."

    Perhaps it was because of the negative emotions that had been held back for too long, the officer ignored Ulay's apologetic smile, and still frowned and said: "This operation is too urgent, let's not say that only two people, Ye Bai, can be found.The identity information that was reapplied a month ago, the previous information and experience are all blank, and we did not get the personal information of his cohabiting boyfriend, and the house rental information was handled by an intermediary company. For such a suspicious person, we should haveDo a closer look before deciding whether to take action, but the arrest was made in such a hasty way, do you know how much risk is involved?"

    The tone of the other party's accusation was aggressive, and Ulay was not happy to hear it, and directly replied: "It is a good thing to be cautious, but everything should be done according to the procedure, so there is no need to tie your hands and feet. Since Commander Yin Duan has agreed to thisAction means the risk is controllable, right?"

    The officer fell silent.

    No matter how many worries he has, no matter how unsafe he feels, as long as the people above give orders, he has to bite the bullet and do it. This kind of thing is too common in bureaucracies.Too much is useless, I can only pray that nothing will happen, and don't let myself be the unlucky blame man.

    The officer sighed sullenly. He looked back at the young man in the interrogation room, and saw him sitting quietly and obediently on the seat, like a docile and harmless lamb.

    "I always think he looks familiar." He said suddenly.

    Ulay continued to lower his hair and said casually, "Oh, really?"

    "I should have seen him somewhere." The officer said slowly.

    After reporting the progress to the higher-ups and immediately getting a positive reply, Ulay was in a good mood and glanced at the teenager in the interrogation room.

    "Well, a good-looking person will always leave a deeper impression on people." He smiled and said to the people around him, "Maybe you met him by chance somewhere."

    Is that so?

    The officer pondered, trying to find such a fragment in his memory.

    So, where did you see it?
