I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

"Lin Ke still hasn't woken up. The murderer who poisoned Dai Heming is dead. He committed suicide."

"That day I released another soldier as planned. Following him did allow me to find out some things, but unfortunately he discovered me when I was closing the net in the end."

"It's strange, but I always feel that there is something indescribably strange about this person."

Ling Qing recalled yesterday's pursuit. Before the soldier was forced into a desperate situation, he clearly had other better escape routes, but he chose to run into the military restricted area.

As we all know, breaking into a military restricted area without permission will lead to death, so that person was not running away, but seeking death.

Is it because you are afraid of being caught and tortured, and having your memory extracted?

Then the question arises, there are many ways to commit suicide. Since you have already decided to commit suicide, why bother to escape?

Why did they choose the military restricted area with the most powerful firepower?

Ling Qing thought about it and there was only one answer, that is, the firepower in the restricted area was enough to blow a person into pieces, leaving nothing behind.

Committing suicide in the most tragic way is definitely not the result of any heroic thought. There must be some unknown secret hidden in it.

What is hidden in that body that makes the people behind the scenes so eager to destroy it?

That’s right, it was destruction. What impressed Ling Qing the most during this manhunt was the sense of disharmony lingering around that person.

He is like a human-shaped puppet that has been set up in advance, which is terrifying when you think about it carefully.

"To be on the safe side, I ordered someone to collect some of the body parts and have them sent back. Professor Aled will examine them when the time comes."

Huo Linyuan pondered for a moment and dialed Zoe's video call.

"Where is the body of the 'spiritual boy'?"

Zoe replied subconsciously: "The defense team has taken him away for processing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and quickly clicked a few times on the terminal.

After a while, Zoe raised her head, her face dark, and her voice cold: “The body is gone.”

Upon hearing this result, Ling Qing on the other side of the light screen also showed a surprised expression. Only Huo Linyuan seemed to be thinking about it, as if he had expected it.

In a moment, Huo Linyuan gave Zoe an order: "Closely check the people around Lin Che and ensure his safety. If necessary, you can take compulsory measures."

"Yes."

After hanging up the video call, Huo Linyuan looked at Ling Qing again: "Tell me what you found."

Ling Qing nodded, and then sent a list over: "It is now certain that Sascott did escape on Lin Ke's warship."

"As for whether Lin Ke is a human or a ghost, we cannot be 100% sure at the moment."

"In addition, after being released, the murderer tried to approach Lin Ke's ward, but was discovered by the guards before he could get close."

"Strangely, when I was investigating this person, I didn't find any abnormal behavior from him before, and the people he came into contact with were all 'clean'."

If he was an undercover agent, when did he go undercover? Did he defect during the service? Or did he enter the army as an undercover agent from the beginning?

What Ling Qing least wanted was the second possibility. If this person had been an undercover agent from the beginning but had never been discovered in all these years, it would be simply chilling.

"I have identified a list through screening. These people have had more or less contact with the rebels in the military. I suspect that the mastermind behind this is more than one undercover agent."

"I feel like it won't be long before they make a big move."

Huo Linyuan nodded at the table: "Continue to monitor Lin Ke and control all the people on the list as soon as possible. There is no need to hold back."

Just after he finished speaking, Qi Yan, who had just returned from school, pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing this, Huo Linyuan and Ling Qing both stopped talking.

"A Yuan." Qi Yan walked over and greeted Ling Qing obediently after seeing him on the screen, "Brother Ling."

"Dandan, you are such a heartless boy. You actually call Lao Ling 'brother' but you refuse to call me." Shen Yi followed closely behind him and walked in.

Qi Yan made a face at him, then said to Huo Linyuan: "Any new discoveries?"

Huo Linyuan touched his hair and said, "Not yet. Ling Qing is reporting to me about Motiya's situation."

Qi Yan wanted to discuss with him about Si Mingyu's assassination of Garcia, but due to the presence of Ling Qing and Shen Yi, he was reluctant to speak.

Fortunately, Huo Linyuan saw through his concerns. After asking Ling Qing to make arrangements according to the original instructions, he hung up the video call and found a reason to send Shen Yi away.

Outside the door, Shen Yi dialed Ling Qing's video call while walking down the stairs.

After the call was connected, Shen Yi immediately started to complain: "Old Ling, Old Ling, you are so mean."

Ling Qing raised his head from his work and adjusted his glasses: "I don't remember ever treating you unfairly."

"You didn't even tell me that the eggs were hatched." Shen Yi accused.

During the time when Shen Yi was working undercover, the person he was in contact with was Ling Qing, who had so many opportunities to tell him what happened in Lingxing.

Ling Qing supported his chin with both hands, and there was a sly look behind his glasses: "This is to prevent you from being distracted, so that you can focus more on your undercover identity."

He spoke righteously, but Shen Yi had never been a person who played by the rules, so he scoffed at his reasons.

And he firmly believed that Ling Qing didn't tell him because she was jealous of his good relationship with Dandan.

In response to this point, Shen Yi made a "reasonable and logical" argument.

At the same time, Qi Yan and Huo Linyuan also started to get to the point.

After telling Huo Linyuan about the plot in the original text where Si Mingyu assassinated Garcia, Qi Yan continued, "A Yuan, we have to save Teacher Garcia."

Not only because Garcia is a master in the mecha manufacturing industry, but also because he is an upright and good person.

In fact, Qi Yan also thought that if Garcia could be persuaded to work for the military, it would be a great help in future wars.

It’s a pity that Garcia has always hated political struggles. Although he works for Xinghe, that is because Xinghe never interferes with his freedom and fully supports his mecha research.

Huo Linyuan rubbed his head comfortingly: "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to protect his safety."

Qi Yan buried her head in his shoulder and rubbed it: "I don't know which method Si Mingyu will take."

After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Huo Linyuan with sparkling eyes: "I want to stay in the Mecha Manufacturing Department to help during this period of time."

"Anyway, we have made great progress in the drug experiment. All we need to do next is verify the results. It won't take much time."

Huo Linyuan pinched his nose and said, "Just arrange it, but there are two conditions. First, don't force yourself. Second, don't do anything dangerous."

Qi Yan held his hand, interlocked his fingers, looked up and smiled, "Yes, sir!"
