The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 525 Black Hand
When she clearly uttered the word "murder," Jiang Hui's eyes were clear.

Since they dared to harm her, ruin her future, and almost send her to her death at sea... she couldn't let this go easily. She had to settle things; she couldn't wait a moment longer to get justice.

As for whether the other party's original intention was murder, who cares?! Because she was almost killed, that guy, no... everyone behind it should pay the price.

"you sure?"

“You need to provide more concrete evidence.”

The answers came from almost both sides and were very much in line with their personalities.

Phillips frowned, about to reprimand the incompletely awakened person in front of him for talking nonsense, but then he saw that the person was not speaking to him, the examiner, but clearly to the person next to him, and he became somewhat annoyed.

He was clearly the proctor in charge of the exam, yet the other party trusted Zongting more… Phillips felt embarrassed and angry, realizing he had lost the dignity of a superior.

He stated sternly, "We have sent people to investigate the nearby waters, and it is true that someone has made some underhanded moves. However, based on the current clues, this series of whirlpools is more likely due to a combination of natural factors, and it shouldn't have developed to this extent. The person behind this combination probably didn't expect it to develop like this..."

Yes, these changes unfolded too quickly to be considered in detail. But as a general who had come from the midst of war, Phillips still sensed something amiss from the subtle clues.

Everything happened too coincidentally, and the chain reaction that swept through and affected everyone was also very unusual. His people had thoroughly searched the nearby waters, yet this still happened, and they had found traces along the way... Therefore, he naturally concluded that someone had tampered with the exam.

However, this is not the same as the murder that Jiang Hui mentioned. The former is a social event, with the mastermind intending to disrupt a major public examination, while the latter involves more specific accusations.

In interstellar space, the boundaries of the law are clearly defined, without any ambiguity, which means that 'right is right and wrong is wrong,' leaving no loopholes to exploit.

Furthermore, the intergalactic law stipulates that "once a charge is brought, it constitutes a legal matter, and both the suspected party and the party raising the charge are responsible for the matter they bring."

This might sound a bit complicated... Simply put, in interstellar space, you can't arbitrarily suspect a person or group of crimes. Once you file a complaint against the person involved or the judicial authorities, it becomes a legal matter. Even without going through any institution or process, the complaint itself exists, and both parties can pursue accountability based on this matter later.

If Kang Hwi is the accuser of this murder, she has the right to demand an investigation into the matter. However, if it is ultimately found that the facts were false, all those involved in the incident or identified as the final suspects also have the right to demand that the accuser, Kang Hwi, pay the price and make compensation for her erroneous instructions.

Therefore, if Jiang Hui says that someone intended to murder her during the exam, she must provide concrete evidence, otherwise the judiciary may consider it a false accusation or doubt.

Phillips said sternly, "Do you know what you're saying? I hope you think this through before making a decision."

When Jiang Hui said it, Phillips didn't doubt it at all. Because given the current situation, it was a reasonable deduction, but doubt is one thing, and certainty is another.

Phillips knew that filing a charge would put the candidate at a clear disadvantage, as she couldn't identify a specific suspect. If Jiang Hui were to file this charge, what evidence could she provide to prove someone intended to murder her? Insufficient or inadequate evidence could very well lead to the opposite outcome…

Phillips did not want the candidate to end up in jail because of a moment of anger.

It's safer for him to conduct a general investigation in the name of the military than for the other party to formally file a complaint. Regardless of whether the evidence is sufficient in the end, it is a relatively acceptable result for both parties.

“There is indeed something unusual about this. I can send someone to check the situation at the relevant locations again. If it is indeed found that someone intended to commit murder, I will submit a report to the Interstellar Law Office on their behalf. There’s no need for that.” Phillips offered this rare piece of advice, a sincere suggestion he rarely made to the student who was implicated.

Jiang Hui shook his head: "I am certain that person attempted to murder me and nearly caused irreparable damage. I hope that an immediate investigation will be conducted on all candidates who took the same exam at the same time. That person's existence is keeping me up at night, and I am willing to take responsibility for this matter."

The military investigation will indeed implicate no one and they won't have to bear any responsibility; they just need to wait for the investigation results. But who knows if there's a mole within the military who's behind it all? After all, that person not only dared to tamper with the test, but also bribed people in the military to tamper with their mechs. Therefore... it's certain that this couldn't have been a solo act; it's probably a conspiracy by a group of people.

She feared that after all the investigation, she would end up with a vague result, and the other party would let it slide. That was something she couldn't accept.

The unfortunate girl on the other side, who is still in critical condition, is probably a victim like her. She's just lucky to be mostly unharmed, while the other girl is on the verge of death.

If she hadn't been lucky... and the enemy had actually struck her in the spine of the fuselage, Jiang Hui wouldn't have even had time to be dragged ashore like she had before she would have died in this distant interstellar world.

Jiang Hui couldn't swallow this insult. If the other party dared to do it, they should be prepared to be held accountable. They forcibly kicked over her pot and wouldn't let her eat properly, so nobody should eat together!
Ignoring the examiner's complicated expression, Jiang Hui turned directly to another superior officer who clearly understood her better and said, "Colonel Zong."

"Have you figured it out?"

Jiang Hui nodded in confirmation.

"Summon everyone here. I will report this to the military law department to handle this matter." Zong Ting didn't waste any more words and made his decision directly.

"Damn it, you're all crazy! You even sent the military law department over. What if they can't find anything... Even if you're not fully awakened, you'll still be in serious trouble." Phillips didn't care about arguing with Zong Ting; his tone was like a command, and he was just extremely annoyed.

These two people are from completely different backgrounds, yet they both seem equally annoying.

The young officer cursed angrily, but seeing that the two people in front of him, one big and one small, were completely unmoved, he became even more annoyed. In the end, he could only helplessly contact Fu Xuan on the other side to bring all the candidates over here.
