I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

East Courtyard Attic.

Sascot came in hurriedly. He first bowed to Huo Linyuan:

"The Marshal is frightened. It is my fault for not governing well. I have sent someone to investigate the attack. I believe there will be a result soon."

He looked like he had just been woken up and hadn't had time to tidy up his appearance, and he even buttoned one of his clothes wrong.

"As soon as the attack occurred, I notified the Joint Defense Department to conduct a check on suspicious persons. At the same time, additional personnel were dispatched to evacuate the crowd at the scene."

"The medical rescue teams are all in place to ensure that the injured can receive treatment as soon as possible. Due to the panic caused by the incident, corresponding comfort policies have been formulated."

"In addition, the number of interstellar spacecraft has doubled to ensure that the frightened people can leave Mortia safely and orderly."

Sascot reported all the emergency arrangements to Huo Linyuan one by one. It must be said that his arrangements were almost comprehensive and even minimized the impact of the incident in every aspect.

"Thank you for your hard work." Huo Linyuan nodded.

"This is my responsibility. There are still many issues waiting for me to deal with. Please excuse me."

As soon as Sascot left, Wen Yi came back and brought back the latest situation at the scene.

"Based on the situation at the scene, it is initially determined that this was a targeted terrorist attack. The attacker used high explosives and the explosion point was the theater stage on Central Street. The number of casualties is still being counted."

"This is the image of the explosion site." After saying that, Wen Yi turned on the light screen.

The video is very clear, and you can clearly see that the explosion first started in the center of the stage, then extended to the edge of the stage, and finally triggered a series of continuous explosions.

Fragments of the explosion flew everywhere, thick smoke and dust obscured the view, and the crowd fell into panic and fled in all directions.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. The originally bustling and lively streets turned into a hell on earth.

"Notify the 12th Army to cooperate with the Joint Defense Department to carry out the rescue." Huo Linyuan said.

"Yes."

Qi Yan was looking at the explosion image, but his little head suddenly thought of the person who had bumped into him before. He always felt that the person was strangely familiar.

Suddenly, he pulled Huo Linyuan with his little tentacles: "I remember that person is the winner of the Mecha League."

Qi Yan couldn't remember the name for a moment, and his tentacles were waving in panic. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind: "Yes, Lin Che, his name is Lin Che!"

"Is there any connection between this person and the attack?" Wen Yi was confused.

Huh? Qi Yan was confused. After hearing the general situation of the attack, he subconsciously thought of that strange man.

When the man rushed over, Qi Yan could have dodged him, but at the moment when the man passed by her, the tattoo on his neck caught Qi Yan's attention.

The tattoo looked like a flame, and Qi Yan felt like he had seen it somewhere. Just now he suddenly remembered that the winner of the previous mecha league also had the same tattoo on his neck.

When the winner's information popped up at the end of the game, Qi Yan had seen that person's photo.

Although the appearance in the virtual world is generally disguised, if even the tattoos are not deliberately disguised, then these two people are likely to be the same person.

But now Wen Yi's question confused him. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was no necessary connection between the two things.

The explosion occurred after they met the men in black, and investigation revealed that it was a time bomb, with only ten minutes between the time of placement and the time of explosion.

The Lakeside Street where they were located was two streets away from the Central Street. It was impossible for one person to be in two places in such a short time.

What's more, the man looked like he was running for his life at the time.

Qi Yan thought he had found a breakthrough point, but unexpectedly there was no connection. He was a little disappointed.

Huo Linyuan pinched the little tentacle soothingly and confirmed his words: "Yanyan remembered it correctly."

Huh? Qi Yan looked at him in confusion.

Huo Linyuan then handed a bloodstained silk handkerchief to Wen Yi: "Let Aled analyze the ingredients, and send the report to Zoe after the results come out."

Wen Yi was a little confused, but he took the handkerchief without asking anything: "Yes."

"Also..." Huo Linyuan paused, "Go check where General Lin Ping's orphan is."

Lin Ping was the former commander of the 12th Army. He later died in the battle against alien beasts. As his wife died early, he only left behind a pair of children.

"Do you suspect that General Lin is involved in this attack?" Wen Yi asked.

After thinking for a while, he added: "I remember that the two children were later adopted by General Lin's younger brother, Lin Ke, the current commander of the 12th Army."

"It's too early to draw conclusions now. The most urgent task is to control the development of the situation and guard against people with ulterior motives making use of it." Huo Linyuan did not give a direct answer.

"I see."

-

That night, Qi Yan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

On the one hand, it was because of the sudden attack, and on the other hand, his body was experiencing a growth reaction again.

Feeling sore all over but not sleepy at all, Qi Yan simply controlled the Ogura to take out the electronic panel.

Because the Ogura was placed at the head of the bed, his mental power was fully within reach.

Gently placing the electronic panel against the pillow, he carefully moved it a little further out. Finding that Huo Linyuan was not woken up, he began to analyze the incident with peace of mind.

Qi Yan wrote down several names he suspected on the electronic panel, and then began to eliminate them one by one.

He first excluded Sascott for two reasons:

The first motive is that as the lord of a planet, if Sascot wanted to devise a conspiracy, he would have too many ways to do it. There is no need to choose a method that is so blunt and crude.

The second gain and loss is that as the lord of Motia, he is the first person to be held accountable when an attack occurs in his own territory.

Moreover, it is now the 23rd Centennial Festival of Motia. As a planet whose main industry is tourism, now is a good time for the planet's industry to grow. Even if he wants to plan a terrorist attack, there is absolutely no reason for him to choose this stage.

Then there was the man in black. Qi Yan couldn't really explain why she cared so much about this person, it was as if she had a hunch that they had some kind of connection.

But there is a very crucial problem, that is, the other party simply did not have the time to commit the crime, so Qi Yan also ruled him out.

The rest included the commander of the 12th Army Lin Ke and the Crown Prince Si Mingyu.

Qi Yan really couldn't think of any connection between these two people, and listing them here was purely out of Qi Yan's subjective emotions.

In the original text, Lin Ke had always supported the Huo family and the military.

But as the conflict between the royal family and the Huo family became more intense, his attitude began to become ambiguous, so much so that in the final battle, he ignored Huo Linyuan's orders and suddenly turned against them.
