16, Chapter 16(1/2)
Ino rummaged through the information room, and Yuezhan "listened" outside the door. He really heard a lot of key information.
As time passed by, the secretary's forehead became more and more sweaty.
He originally thought that the young prince was just going through the motions and fooling around, but he didn't expect that this 18-year-old boy, who seemed to know nothing, actually spent nearly a day and night in the data room, forgetting all sleep and food, and only asked someone to send him a message.
Put in a few canned fish.
The secretary didn't take it seriously at first, but the longer it went on, the more unsure he became.
Little prince, he won't really find out anything, right?
The secretary quietly walked outside and called Zong Wei.
Zong Wei didn't go to bed until early in the morning. When he received the call, his tone was very bad.
"Manager, the little prince and the others are still investigating, what should I do?"
"Are you still there?" Zong Wei frowned upon hearing this, "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"
The secretary looked back at the people in military uniforms in front of the data room, then turned back and whispered: "I have been checking since I went in yesterday. I didn't eat much and didn't sleep. By the way, Major General Yue has also been keeping watch.
Outside the door, the little prince will occasionally be called out to say a few words..."
Zong Wei couldn't sleep now and immediately said: "Quickly, find a way to make them leave."
He's not stupid either. Although he doesn't know what Yue Zhan is planning, he hasn't left all day and night, so things are definitely not simple.
As for the little prince, Zong Wei still didn't take him seriously at this time.
How could the secretary dare to chase people away? Just when he was grimacing and wondering what to do, Ino suddenly came out with someone and said, "Some of the information will be taken away as evidence, do you have any objection?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the secretary to answer, he emphasized: "This process is in compliance with the laws of the empire."
According to regulations, investigators cannot bring audio and video equipment to check the company's database, but this is under the premise that there is no evidence to prove that there is a problem with the company. If the investigators determine that there is a problem with some of the data, they can be taken away as physical evidence.
The secretary laughed dryly: "If it doesn't involve confidentiality..."
"Don't worry, there are no secrets involved." Ino raised the information in his hand and shook it, then handed it to Luya and said, "Take these with you."
Yue Zhan couldn't help but smile again, thinking that the little prince looked very confident and pretty.
Zong Wei was away, so the secretary couldn't make the decision, and he didn't dare to stop him. In the end, he let Ino take away a few books.
When they got to the floating car, Ino didn't care about the regulations. He directly picked up the information and asked Yuezhan: "Do you want to read it?"
Having read the book, he knew very well that Yuezhan was not only good at fighting, but also good at other aspects. Well, of course, that was not what he was referring to.
And he believed that Yue Zhan also wanted to bring down the clan.
He had to admit that although he was beautiful and intelligent, compared with an old man like Yue Zhan, he did still lack a little bit of experience... just a little bit.
In short, ready-made helpers are not in vain if they are not used.
Yue Zhan was just thinking about finding an excuse to tell the little prince what he had heard. Unexpectedly, the other party gave him a reason, so he took it without being polite and said: "Thank you very much."
Among them, there is a lot of information that Yue Zhan reminded Ino to bring out.
Ino was very curious and asked: "How do you know there is such information in it?"
Of course Yue Zhan couldn't say, he could only vaguely say: "I guess based on experience."
Ino: "..."
[I’m so angry. Is eating nine more years of rice really that much better than me? You don’t need to enter the reference room. You can guess what important information is there just based on experience? 】
Yue Zhan: "..."
He coughed lightly and accepted the little prince's "praise" with a guilty conscience.
Before crossing the stack, I had heard the little prince read the contents of these materials quickly. At this time, he only glanced at them and began to explain his analysis: "What is certain is that the Zong family was indeed just a production error in the beginning, which led to the failure of the Z-series mecha.
There is a problem with the spiritual wire.
"Their initial idea was very simple. The cost of replacing the wires was very high, higher than the pension issued by the military. In order to make more money and reduce losses, they would rather hide this fact and sell these unqualified mechas.
.Capital pursues profits, and they bet that the 0.5% accident rate will not be discovered.
"In the beginning, they did succeed. But six months ago, this matter was discovered, and the former director of the Ministry of Technology died because of it. After that, Zongming became the acting minister..."
Ino: "..."
[I’m so angry. It’s exactly the same as my analysis. How can he be as smart as me? 】
Yue Zhan: "..."
Ino: "Go on."
Yue Zhan paused and continued: "In addition to the former director of the Technology Department, someone should have discovered this matter. The other party threatened the Zong family and allowed the Zong family to continue to do things. Therefore, the Zong family knew full well what tragic consequences would result from upgrading the system.
But he still did it.”
Speaking of this, his tone couldn't help but become a little colder.
"But which party will it be?" Ino also thought about it, but he only guessed that it might be related to the Federation, and he didn't know who it would be.
Yue Zhan sneered, pointed at the information with his fingertips, and said: "The third galaxy, and...the Federation."
Ino understood immediately and subconsciously said: "You mean the lord of the main star of the third galaxy, Mayne?"
In the Empire, many planets have owners. They are not directly ruled by the emperor, but by planet lords.
These planet lords are like the feudal kings in ancient times. They own their own planet and enjoy great privileges. They can legislate, appoint officials, and build an army on their own planet. They only need to pay a certain tax to the central government of the empire every year.
Of course, according to the laws of the empire, the planetary legislation of the lords cannot exceed the basic laws of the empire, and the army they build cannot exceed the regulations.
But after nearly a thousand years of development, the lords have become stronger and stronger, and there are countless people who violate the laws and regulations, but the emperor cannot do anything to them. Because these people are more difficult to deal with than the nobles and plutocrats of the Imperial Capital Star. If you are not careful, you will
Cause civil strife.
At most, the nobles have money and power, raise some mercenaries, and marry each other to join forces. But the big lords are really rich, powerful and have soldiers.
The empire has a total of eight major galaxies, five of which are ruled by these great lords. Mayne is one of the seven major lords of the empire, entrenched in the third galaxy.
When Ino heard that this matter might be related to the Mayne family, he immediately felt that there was no chance.
Sometimes, he felt that the netizens were right to accuse his father of being a weakling. His father couldn't even deal with the big nobles of the Imperial Star, so would he dare to deal with the big lords?
"What, are you scared?" Yuezhan raised his eyebrows and looked at the little guy who couldn't help but sigh.
Ino shook his head. Although he had nothing, he really didn't want to give in. After all, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
Besides, isn't he still a son of the plane? He has the aura of a protagonist.
He was afraid that when he was halfway through the investigation and finally came to the bottom of the matter, his father would suddenly hold back and not allow him to investigate further.
Yue Zhan rubbed his head and sighed: "Your Highness, stop as soon as you find out about the Zong family. Don't touch the Mayn family yet."
"What do you mean?" Ino was confused.
[Did Yue Zhan become a coward? Although the Mayne family is not easy to deal with, they gave in so quickly...]
Yuezhan explained helplessly: "The water in Mayne's house is very deep. I'm afraid they will take action against His Highness, so Your Highness will only check the Zong family and leave the third galaxy to me."
"Oh." So that's what it meant.
Ino thought this was okay. He had nothing. Even if he tried to deal with the Mayne family with all his passion, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
But Yuezhan is different. Yuezhan has soldiers and strength. Moreover, Yuezhan's father is also the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, so he is more reliable than his father.
[No, I remember that Yue Zhan later took advantage of the lords' rebellion and colluded with external forces to drag me down from the throne and imprison me. Logically speaking, he was on the same side as those big lords, but now he is helping me deal with the big lords.
One of Mayne, wouldn’t that be... dog eats dog?】
Yue Zhan had a dark look on his face. Listen, are you thinking human words? You are a heartless boy!
[Could this be my protagonist’s aura taking effect? If the two villains bite each other dog...]
Yue Zhan endured it, but still couldn't hold it back. He directly raised his hand and gave the little prince a blow.
"Ouch!" Ino was having sex when he was knocked unconscious. She covered her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Yue Zhan said with a dark face: "My hands are itchy."
Ino: "..." If your hands are itchy, why don't you hit me on the head?
The hover car quickly arrived at the base detention center, and Yue Zhan got off the bus first. Ino followed closely behind, still thinking in her heart——
[No, I’m so angry. The more I think about it, the angrier I am. I want to knock him back! But he seems a bit tall. Do I have to jump up from behind and knock him? 】
Yue Zhan suddenly turned around, carried him to his side, and said helplessly: "Hurry up, go to interrogate Zong Ming."
"Oh." The legs are so long, aren't they?
Ino failed to knock him down in the end, and what was worse was that the interrogation of Zongming did not produce any results.
Most of the previous conclusions were the reasoning of him and Yue Zhan, without direct evidence. To completely overthrow the Zong family, we had to provide ironclad evidence, otherwise it wouldn't be painful for the other party to fight.
If Zong Ming could confess, they would have one more piece of evidence. But Zong Ming was as unwilling to speak as if he were dead, even if he was injected with a truth-telling medicine, it would be useless.
Later they found out that Zong Ming had poisoned himself to silence him before he was arrested. It was obvious that he not only knew about the Zong family, but also knew a lot. He had expected this fate when he was arrested.
When he walked out of the interrogation room, Yue Zhan's expression didn't look good. He didn't expect that Zong Ming had been pretending so well all along that even he had been deceived before.
Ino was also very sad. He had searched in all directions, and now he only had his cousin and his golden finger - the book.
To be continued...
