"I didn't kill people." Linton was arrested in his room, and when the soldiers broke in, he was even dressed, the uniform of a major general.

But he was not treated politely because of the uniform. After being blindfolded and locked in the cell, Linton received a punch on the head first.

There was a "buzz" in his head, his eyes were spinning, his temple on the side that was attacked was throbbing, as if a bug was crawling down, his mouth was full of the familiar smell of blood.

Linton licked the corner of his mouth and swallowed the mouthful of blood.

Someone removed his blindfold, and Linton found himself sitting on an instrument-strewn chair opposite an interrogation table.In the small interrogation room, apart from the surveillance equipment, there was only a furious Jiali.

"I'm not joking this time." Carrie leaned on the table and leaned over, "Linton, you killed people in my territory, and you are the Duke of the Fourth Base. Do you really think I won't kill you?"

"I didn't kill it." Linton repeated blankly, "I have no reason."

"You know Orson came to negotiate with me!"

"Did you agree?" Linton asked.

Carrie said nothing, but stared at him warily.

"You didn't agree." Linton said firmly, "At least, you didn't give him an answer on the spot."

Jiali sneered: "You have overestimated my sense of morality. I don't care about the life and death of the first base."

"You are not for the First Base." Linton's eyes fixed on her, "You are for greater benefits. Because you know that the fourth base has someone else in power, and the conditions given by Orson let you Not satisfied enough, you are waiting for him to ask the base for instructions."

Carrie narrowed her eyes slightly and licked the corner of her mouth.

"And you know that too." Linton said, "It makes no sense for me to attack Orson."

There was a moment of silence in the interrogation room, and the interrogator and the person being interrogated looked at each other.

"This doesn't remove your suspicion." Carrie said, "You are the only person here who would kill him."

Linton's eyes rested on her ring for a second, then shook his head.

"I am the last person to kill him, even if I hate him." Linton said helplessly, "You know I am avoiding war. Now that Orson is dead, all my previous efforts will be in vain. You are the same, Commander .You hope to gain the maximum benefit in the game between us, but now, the Fourth Base no longer needs to please you, and they have a completely legitimate reason to start the war."

Without saying a word, Jiali slowly sat back behind the interrogation table and stared at him coldly.

"Whoever can benefit from this matter has a motive." Linton said, "If I guess correctly, the Fourth Base will immediately send another representative to restart this meeting."

"Kasdan White." Carrie did not hide this, "After getting the news, she has already set off."

Linton showed a sad smile: "We have all been tricked. My base will face crusade, and your base will get nothing. From the beginning to the end, the fourth base has no intention of giving you anything. Orson is just a pawn , to test your attitude."

"You are trying to convince me that the fourth base is the murderer of Orson. I almost believe it." Carrie said, "I have to say, Major General Linton, you are more suitable than the general. Be a politician."

"If politicians can save our civilians from the flames of war, I can change my career." Linton looked up at the cell, "but it seems that there is no chance now."

"Where are your men?" Carrie asked again.

"gone."

"Don't tell me they're sightseeing again."

"No, I ordered them to leave. We know the purpose of this conspiracy, and we also know that we will be handed over to the Fourth Base as a tribute by the commander." Linton said, "Since the final result is death, I will die alone." Enough is enough, I am enough to represent the first base."

Linton shook his head, and the corners of his forehead spread the unfallen blood to his cheeks, leaving a bright red line.

Jiali took a breath when she heard the word "tribute", her expression turned cold. "To be honest, Major General Linton, I don't believe your nonsense at all. You will see your men in prison soon."

"You're going to be disappointed." Linton twitched the corners of his mouth, "Our first base didn't rescue, only revenge."

-

Carrie quickly verified his words.

At the same time that Linton was arrested, Xingdian completely blocked its own port, prohibiting any ships and ships from entering or leaving, including military ships and VIP ships of the Fellini family.

The Orderers in various regions began to search for outsiders. After the first day passed, the Intelligence Bureau did not receive any news.

The various platforms in Xingdian immediately began to broadcast the silent footage of Linton being interrogated in turn. The young major general in it was wearing a prison uniform, his left eye was black and blue, his cheeks were swollen and his body was covered with blood.

Those who tortured Linton were the guards from the fourth base. The cruel scene flashed by, but it was enough to make one's heart chill.This was made by Jiali to stimulate the special forces lurking in the dark. The effect was so realistic that even she couldn't see the flaws.

All the Orderers from all districts were mobilized and began to search homes. All the underground casinos and trading markets were closed. The Orderers even brought in two black dens for smuggling Omega, and rescued hundreds of Omega, but among these people, all No one from first base.

The twelve special forces seemed to have evaporated suddenly. Everyone didn't know where they went, and they didn't even know if they were still in Xingdian.

-

Carrie interrogated Linton every day.

She knew that as a special soldier, Linton must have received rigorous training, and physical torture would not make him let go, so she gave up low-level physical stimulation, but chose to tie people in the laboratory, at different times, Send different personnel to interrogate him in various ways.

Intelligence officers, medical officers, psychologists, and senior guards took turns on stage. Linton had very limited rest time, and every time his brain activity was recorded by the instrument, it was analyzed by the doctor.

"According to the monitoring, he's telling the truth." The doctor put the data in front of Carrie, and pushed another data map towards her, "...During the two-day interrogation, his limbic system Consistent with cortical feedback, there was nothing suspicious about movements, gestures, and even microexpressions."

In the interrogation room, soldiers had already entered to inject sleeping pills into Linton. Half a minute later, the young major general's head drooped.

Carrie stared at the camera with a serious expression, while the doctor and Sean beside her also had solemn expressions.

"Damn it!" Carrie frowned, "Didn't he kill him?"

The doctor looked at her sympathetically: "It can only be said that the result of the data analysis is like this. Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that he can fool the machine."

"How likely is it?"

"I haven't seen it so far. But..." The doctor pointed to another map of the brain's neural network, and as he explained, several red dots lit up on the screen, "One abnormal situation is that during the entire process of their conversation , his neuronal activity was exactly the same as that of a normal person. Including the pain response."

A green line stands out.

Carrie's expression turned serious.

"After human beings were exposed to galaxy radiation and obtained microbrains, many neurological studies we were proud of became waste paper. Fortunately, some ancient theories are applicable, such as the pain valve control theory." The doctor pointed to the green line A little bit, "... When the pain information is transmitted from the nervous system to the brain, it has to pass through several gates. Only when the brain gives permission for the passage, can the information be transmitted smoothly. This is one of the training of our soldiers - to control their own The brain, blocking mild injuries."

"When was this reflective record?"

"The first day. You punched him out of anger." The doctor said, "You didn't take off the nerve ring on your hand, and the tip of the ring pierced his skin."

"Although he is a special soldier, what if he is afraid of pain." Carrie rubbed her temples, "Any other abnormalities?"

"It's gone." The doctor looked at her, "I also think that this abnormality can't explain anything, so my preferred result is that he didn't kill anyone."

"Fuck! I've seen the devil. I can't kill people." Jiali said.

While the two were talking, Sean kept his eyes on the monitor.

In the video, Linton is lying on the interrogation chair with his head tilted. Five minutes later, the next batch of interrogators will go in to forcibly wake him up and interrogate him when he is unconscious.

Sean fell into deep thought looking at the sleeping face that was exactly the same as Uriel's. According to the doctor's analysis, if Linton is Uriel, then this man is undoubtedly a very dangerous and indifferent killer who is good at disguising, and his words are not credible.

But when getting along with Linton, Sean clearly felt that the other party was not like that.This person is very emotional, loves and hates clearly, and is even a little childish occasionally.

Two completely conflicting personalities... Did I admit my mistake, or is this person really unfathomable?

Sean looked away, only to realize that Carrie and the doctor were looking at him.He made a questioning expression.

Carrie looked at him strangely: "I was just asking you, who do you think killed Orson"

Sean lowered his eyes, and after a while, he answered irrelevantly and asked: "Maybe the truth is not important, no matter who did it, the purpose is to force us to stand in line. Now we have to think about what will happen next? "

"Next? There is no doubt that we will hand over Linton to the fourth base." Carrie leaned on the desk and smiled self-deprecatingly, "and then wait for the fourth base to go to war, and the first base is forced to welcome. We Raise the shields and hide like the grandchildren. When the fighting outside is over, we will rush out and congratulate the disgusting white people. Wait a few years and you and I will be dead, Sylvia The family was extinct. Then the fourth base smashed Xingdian and ruled Virgo ever since."

"It's a disgusting prospect." Sean couldn't help but sighed.

"So I really want to know who caused all this." Carrie looked at Linton in the monitor again, "If the murderer is him, at least I don't have to endure the condemnation of my conscience when I hand him over. In the future I can also comfort myself as I lead the people in protective shields that he asked for it."

"What about the fourth base?" Sean asked.

Carrie thought for a while and said, "Then I will give myself a middle finger when I hide."

On the third day, Kasdan arrived at the space station, and had a little unpleasantness with Lieutenant Colonel Hall of the space station due to the problem of the transport boat-Kasdan asked to take the Judgment, Lieutenant Colonel Hall refused her and threw her Two broken ships.

Kasdan was furious about this, but Lieutenant Colonel Hall retorted confidently that, as an earl, she was not qualified to raise the level of her traffic boat above Orson's.Lieutenant Colonel Hall showed amazing respect for the dead Orson, and his words were full of respect, which was simply eye-popping.

Jiali had already given up trying to settle accounts with him, and since Kasdan was going to stay in the space station for a long time, it seemed that he was not in a hurry to avenge his brother, and the representatives of the asteroids were afraid to go out.Carrie decides to see Linton for the last time.

The interrogation against Linton has been stopped, and all kinds of monitoring equipment have been removed. In the huge laboratory, only one table and one chair are left, which cannot be moved.

Linton was tied to the interrogation chair and smiled when he saw her come in.

"You're dying, do you have any last words?" Carrie sat on an empty chair, thought for a while, and reminded him, "Kasdan will be here soon."

"She's on the space station?" Linton asked.

Carrie nodded.

Linton understood, and then smiled at her.Under these few days of torture, he was already thin and out of shape.Jiali still remembers the surprise he brought her back then, the messenger in the backlight, the beauty with a perfect face, and the elegant and proud dragon slayer knight.

I am afraid that everyone on that day will not be able to forget that scene. Whether it was the guard of honor that day, the shocking Judgment, or even the golden Abel Star, they all became embellishments in front of this group of people.

"You seem to be very tired." Linton's eyes were very gentle, "but I don't seem to need to comfort you. After all, I don't have much time."

"Yes. But maybe we can talk about something else today." Carrie squeezed her shoulders, then relaxed her body and leaned on the table, "I have removed all the instruments, no one will know our chat Content. Of course, no matter what we talk about, things will not change in any way, and I can only hand you over, Linton, even if you are wronged. Hope you know that."

"I know." Linton nodded, "So next, to satisfy your curiosity?"

"Well. In return, I can answer a question or two for you. I don't mind if you take a few secrets to the grave." Carrie asked. "Did you kill Orson?"

"No." Linton said, "Compared to Kasdan, Orson is easier to deal with. He doesn't have a strong desire for war. I originally thought that we could buy more time for the First Base through negotiations."

Jiali stared at him intently, still without any flaws.

"Who do you think did it?" asked Carrie.

"Kasdan." Linton said, "The reason why Orson was promoted to Duke is because the Fourth Foundation needs his death to be more important. Kasdan is more like the new heir of the Fourth Foundation, if you guessed correctly , she will take me back and kill me at the coronation ceremony. Then she will officially inherit the duke position and launch a war in a legitimate way."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, thinking: "If you guessed correctly, there should be no coronation ceremony for Orson's succession. Besides him, there may be other people in the entourage of the fourth base who have long-distance communicators. Come and accept Kasdan's arrangement in private."

Jiali did find another long-distance communication device in the residences of the two think tanks.

This was after Linton was arrested.

"I'm sorry." Carrie said, "After you die, I will tell your base the facts. At least, they won't mistakenly think that your impulsiveness caused the disaster."

"Thank you." Linton said calmly, "Maybe I can ask a question?"

Carrie nodded at him.

"What's so special about the Sylvia family that allows the Fourth Foundation to marry with one heart?" Linton asked.

"I thought you were going to ask me about my plans for Third Base." Carrie looked at him.

"I think the plan of the third base is to seek compensation from the murderer." Linton looked back, and said slowly, "It's a bit too shrewd for them to exchange the death of a chess piece for the compromise and cooperation of the third base."

"People who are too shrewd won't be lucky all the time." Carrie sat up straight and looked at him coldly, "If you let me know that you did it, Linton, next time we meet, I will definitely give you a big gift first."

After she finished speaking and left, when she turned around, she couldn't help but look back at Linton in doubt: "When did you know I was going to let you go?"

She deliberately misled him from the moment she came in, and kept repeating the words of death and Kasdan.Linton still saw through her true purpose.Jiali felt it was a pity. She wanted to appreciate the surprised expression on this man's face.

"At the last time." Linton raised his chin and sighed softly, "You are not willing to tell me your family's secret."

Carrie: "..."

Carrie got angry and walked out cursing.

As Linton had said on the first day, with Orson's death, the Third Foundation lost its chance to demand a bribe.This is undoubtedly very frustrating.Even a fool would be outraged if all this was self-directed and staged by Fourth Base.

Since the third base has chosen to be neutral, there is no need to worry about the things that should not be taken care of, and the things that should be needed should not be less.After Jiali figured this out, she suddenly felt that things were much easier to handle.

Of course, what she doesn't want to admit is that there's a little bit of spine in it—to please the Fourth Foundation or something, fuck it.

On the fourth day, before the morning light was turned on, the alarm was sounded at the place where the prisoners were held in Xingdian.

Major General Linton of the First Base killed two doctors when the medical officer injected him with drugs, and managed to escape disguised as the medical officer.Xingdian entered the first-level alert and searched and arrested throughout the process.

On the evening of the fourth day, Kasdan arrived in Xingdian on a messenger-class transportation boat, and followed Jiali directly to the office.

"Where are the people from the First Base?" Kasdan asked.

"Run away." Carrie said.

"Ah, it seems that the Commander-in-Chief likes the Omega of the First Base very much." Kasdan raised his head and stepped on the carpet twice, "But you also know that my brother died on your territory, you should show some respect." What."

"Of course I know, Ms. Kasdan." Carrie tapped the nerve whip in her hand and said with a smile, "I made a list of what I want, you can take a look."

The nerve whip nodded towards Kong, and Kasdan turned his head, and found that there were many requirements densely listed on it.

"This is something I haven't finished talking with your brother. He's dead, so it's good for you to talk about it." Jiali said indifferently, "Otherwise, I don't guarantee that your death will be better than his."
