Mo Yi is well-trained; every step taken after stealing the items has an expertâs guidance behind it.
Porlin knows someone from the patent office will arrive soon, and if they canât find anyone, there will certainly be pressure from above.
He feels like his hairline is doomed for the next few weeks.
Su Xiaocai: "Vanished into thin air means either thereâs an insider or theyâre dead."
The person hasnât even officially entered the space station yet.
With the Space Button so prevalent, smuggling out a dead person isnât difficult.
Mo Yi is definitely trained and may even be in league with spies.
Li Shanchun, who grew up with him, canât be easily let go; he needs to be re-investigated.
Li Shanchun is taken further away by the police, out of earshot.
But he has eyes, and from the grave expressions of the police and Su Xiaocai, he can tell the situation is serious.
"Officer, what happened to my friend?"
"Donât know." Whether missing or dead, itâs still under investigation, the police said: "You havenât cleared yourself of suspicion yet, so donât worry about anyone else."
Mo Yi might have something valuable, evident from the little details in daily life.
Yet he chooses to shut his eyes and ears.
Li Shanchun, like a dejected puppy, obediently follows the police to the station for further questioning.
With Li Shanchun taken away, two officers stayed on campus to look for more clues, one remained in the repair room, the other went to apply for a search warrant.
The traces of Mo Yiâs daily life and the items left behind might offer more clues.
Sitting back down, Su Xiaocai tapped on the table lightly, the rhythmic thumping cleared her thoughts, pondering how to dig the person out.
Stealing from her, sheâs not mad, but missing them by a step makes her inexplicably furious.
Itâs a shame mercenaries arenât allowed on Capital Star; more precisely, they canât roam as mercenaries on Capital Star.
If mercenaries dare to reveal their identity, theyâd be turned into swiss cheese before setting foot on Capital Star.
This greatly ensures public safety.
But it also restricts Su Xiaocai.
Suddenly she remembered, Kaye and Fan Qi, they seem to be her people too. Admiral Bai gave them to her, so theyâre hers, as long as they donât break the law, acting as half-detectives should be fine.
No way, itâs a bit difficult, their training is at most reconnaissance, not investigation.
They excel at protecting people, but investigating matters, theyâre lacking.
She has no manpower, what should she do? She needs someone who can handle this kind of work and has decent character, wonât betray at any moment.
Just then, a video transmitted to her communicator, without showing the source.
Su Xiaocai found it strange; the way it was sent was very familiar.
The principal glanced at her from the corner of his eye, wanting to ask what to do if the chip couldnât be retrieved.
Seeing her serious face full of resentment, he chuckled awkwardly, better not disturb, heâs only the principal, not an enforcer, heâd rather give more points as consolation.
Su Xiaocai dragged the video into secure software, put on headphones, and opened it.
The video was a bit shaky, filmed from above, seemingly in a public restroom.
A young man whistled at the mirror, performing a silly dance.
Perhaps thatâs why this was filmed secretly.
Not long after, a black-clad person fully covered, even with straight-frame glasses obscuring their eyes, appeared, making their appearance indistinguishable.
The young man found the black-clad personâs attire cool, smiled at them in the mirror, unaware of the impending danger.
The black-clad person struck without warning, stabbing the young man in the back.
The young man shouted but had his mouth tightly covered.
The handle of the knife, bright red, bloomed in the thick white towel.
After the young man died, the black-clad person quickly bagged the body and packed it into the Space Button.
The video was less than half a minute, showcasing the killerâs efficiency.
The person who filmed knew to send it to her because the young man mentioned the Military Training School before dying.
Su Xiaocai contemplated for a moment, then directly found a record, Xiang Qianâs contact info.
"Thanks a lot."
Xiang Qian, about to board a passenger ship, stopped in his tracks, damn it, he just sent the video, how did Su Xiaocai find out it was him?
"How... how did you guess it was me?"
Su Xiaocai: "Because in my list of friends, youâre the only one who plays around with hacking, so I tried bluffing. The method was too familiar, all typical old hacker tricks."
Xiang Qian almost kneeled, that trick got him again and again.
"Youâre leaving Capital Star? Where to, why not work with me?"
