Eight hundred and seventy-four.(1/2)
The establishment of the "UK-U.S. Joint Investigation Team" has made all people related to the "Galaxy" incident feel anxious.
The Galaxy incident was so big that so many senior government officials, even the president, prime minister, and the family of the defense minister, were hijacked, something that has never happened in the history of various countries.
Germany has been silent, as if they never knew about this. This also made Britain and the United States completely unaware of whether the Galaxy has arrived in Berlin, and even more unaware of the safety of those people on the Galaxy.
Someone must come out to take responsibility for the whole matter, and the answers to the officials who are anxiously waiting must be fast, otherwise it will cause immeasurable consequences.
It was under such circumstances that Captain Pattinson was summoned by the "American Joint Investigation Team".
"Captain Pattinson, I think you know more about the time when the Galaxy happened before and after it happened." Major General Rodel, the deputy investigator of the Special Investigation Team, said with a serious expression: "You have always maintained a good relationship with Captain Eduardo, so can you tell me what kind of person he is?"
Captain Pattinson was silent: "Yes, of course I can tell you that Captain Eduardo is a person who doesn't like to talk much. He has few friends around him, and I happen to be one of his few friends. When we are free we will go to the Officers' Club for a few drinks and discuss our affairs with each other, but I don't know anything about his hijacking of the Galaxy."
Major General Rodel exchanged glances with the chief investigator General Gandera: "Before the accident, you had some very private long talks with Captain Eduardo, have you?"
Captain Pattinson must thank "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol". If he hadn't reminded himself in time, he might have been caught off guard today: "I admit that I did have a conversation with Captain Eduardo before the accident, and the content of the conversation was obviously Captain Eduardo was not willing to let others know. As a friend, I should keep it a secret for him, but it is related to the safety of so many hostages, and I have to tell you all that I know."
He quickly said the content of the conversation between him and Captain Eduardo that day, without hiding it at all. The people in the investigation team obviously had also been investigated. They looked quite satisfied with Captain Pattinson's words.
"His wife did ask him for divorce, Captain Pattinson, I'm glad you didn't lie." General Gandra immediately said, "Has Captain Eduardo told you something else?"
"Ah, I think there is probably nothing, except for some work."
Captain Pattinson's words immediately attracted the attention of the investigation team: "Try to say it more in detail, Captain."
Captain Pattinson seemed to be trying hard to recall: "He said Lieutenant Colonel Mills had been looking for him some time ago. He said he had to make some painful choices. Perhaps such choices would have a very important impact on his life. But when I asked him what was going on, Captain Eduardo never told me anything...."
Several people from the investigation team whispered a few words, and then Major General Rodel raised his head again: "Captain, we are very satisfied that you can tell us this. You can go out now, but as a federal agent, I think you should know that you must not reveal any of the conversations between us today...."
Captain Pattinson left, and then came in Lieutenant Colonel Mills, who had a direct relationship with the incident. To be honest, Lieutenant Colonel Mills was not worried. Although Captain Eduardo was his subordinate, he did not know that Captain Eduardo would do such a terrible thing. With his loyalty to America, he could completely clear any connection between himself and Captain Eduardo.

The investigation team asked a few simple questions, and Major General Rodel suddenly asked: "Lieutenant Colonel, according to our investigation, Captain Eduardo does not have many opportunities to perform normally, and he has not performed any important tasks alone. Why did he choose to take on the safety of the Galaxy this time?"
"He did not perform any particularly important tasks alone..." Lieutenant Colonel Mills did not deny this: "But he is the oldest here. When I first arrived in London, he had lived in this city for three years. He knew everything here and the living habits of the British. And more importantly, although he was usually taciturn, he was a very careful and serious person. I think he could take on any task assigned to him... At the same time, due to the tight manpower, I had no other better choice. Another thing is the most important. At the altitude of thousands of meters, federal agents were only formal protection. Can agents still shoot with pistols when an enemy plane appeared?"
Lieutenant Colonel Mills thought that his words were very humorous, which could ease the tension, and then this aroused the dissatisfaction of the members of the special investigation team.
.

They were investigating how the entire accident happened, trying to see if there was room for recovery, and Lieutenant Colonel Mills showed such careless attitude.
.
.
.
.

Major General Rodel suppressed his inner displeasure: "I must remind you to pay attention to your attitude... Lieutenant Colonel, you have found Captain Eduardo many times before the accident. Can you tell us why Captain Eduardo said, "You must make some painful choices. Perhaps, such choices will have a very important impact on your life."
Lieutenant Colonel Mills did not expect that they knew this. After a while of silence, he said: "It was originally necessary to be strictly confidential, but the situation happened too suddenly. I think I can tell you. The FBI, the CIA and the British Intelligence Department jointly planned a plan of "Azure Operation" to prepare that once London could not be held, we would arrange a large number of lurkers in various cities in the UK, and Captain Eduardo was one of our choices. I talked with him carefully and asked if he would stay, but Captain Eduardo seemed very hesitant, as if there was something he didn't want to say. I asked him again and again but never answered me... Gentlemen, what lurking is I think you all know. For Captain Eduardo, this is of course the most important choice in his life...."
Lieutenant Colonel Mills didn't know about some things, such as Captain Eduardo's wife was filing for divorce. Once Captain Eduardo received the lurking task, he could not return to his wife and try to restore the relationship. But rejection? It seemed that it was not Captain Eduardo's personality. In such a conflicting mood, he told others that he was satisfied with his good friend Captain Pattinson.

"Do you have nothing to tell us?" General Gandra asked slowly.
Lieutenant Colonel Mills thought about it and shook his head slowly.
.
.
.
.
.
The investigation team asked him some other questions and then asked the lieutenant colonel to leave here. They then asked some people, including Colonel Jed. The last one who came in was Lieutenant Colonel Moyor, who was responsible for the entire British intelligence work.
"Lieutenant Colonel Moyor" was one of the most satisfactory suspects. During the evacuation of the official's family, he did not intervene directly. The special investigation team just wanted to get some valuable clues from him. But among so many people, only General Gandra knew that the calm looking person sitting there was the real planner.
.

"Lt. Col. Moyor, do you recognize Captain Eduardo?"
"Of course I recognize it, and we even had a drink together." Wang Weiyi replied frankly: "I always thought he was a pretty good person, but obviously I misread him. Such a terrible thing happened, but I didn't find anything in my interactions with him. I think I must also take responsibility for it."
Major General Rodel smiled slightly: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. Lieutenant Colonel, no one would have thought of such a terrible thing. We already know the 'Azure Plan', so you don't have to continue hiding it. I want to tell me, do you think Captain Eduardo is suitable for a lurking mission?"
Wang Weiyi seemed to be very cautious about this question. After thinking for a long time there, he said: "I know that my answer will determine the fate of some people, including a friend of mine, but as an officer, he must be responsible for his honor, and so many people have been kidnapped, and his conscience has prompted me to be unable to hide anything anymore...."
He adjusted his emotions: "Captain Eduardo is not suitable for the lurking task at all... Yes, he is a taciturn person, but as far as I know, the FBI had psychologically evaluated some agents a few months ago, and Captain Eduardo received the evaluation that there were violent factors in his character, or to be more precise, a paranoid person, and a person with such a personality often caused the terrible side of his character to explode without anyone preventing it... Gentlemen, it is very dangerous for such a person to take lurking task... So, in my opinion, his better choice is to return to the country immediately...."
He paused a little at this point: "When I first learned that Captain Eduardo would take on the mission to protect the Galaxy, I thought it was surprising that in the cabin, the air and relatively small space, and the long flight time would make people feel more restless. For a paranoid, any external factor may induce his inner tendency to violence. And if someone had psychologically induced him before he boarded the plane...."
Everyone in the special investigation team heard it very carefully. General Gandra sighed in his heart. This "Lieutenant Colonel Moyor" had already arranged everything perfectly. Lieutenant Colonel Mills would never know that he was walking into a terrible death trap.
"Everything you said is very important, Lieutenant Colonel." Major General Rodel believed that he had mastered a particularly important clue: "We thank you for all that you have provided us, but we hope you can keep it strictly confidential and not disclose any information."
"I can." Wang Weiyi stood up and walked out calmly.
"Go and find the FBI's psychological report." In this gap, Major General Rodel turned his eyes to General Gandra: "General, what do you think?"
General Gandra seemed extremely calm: "I think we will know the truth when that psychological report is delivered to us..."
They didn't wait too long, and the psychological report of Captain Eduardo was delivered to them. After everyone in the investigation team carefully looked at it, Lieutenant Colonel Mills was summoned again.
.
.
.
.
.
"Lieutenant Colonel, the FBI had conducted psychological assessments of some agents a few months ago, right?" Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Mills nodding, Major General Rodel quickly asked: "So, what is the psychological assessment of Captain Eduardo?"
Lieutenant Colonel Mills thought for a moment: "Everything is excellent, they thought Captain Eduardo could continue to work in the agent position until retirement..."
"Is this really the case?"
"Yes, I can guarantee that's it."
Rodel then asked someone to hand over a document to Lieutenant Colonel Mills. Lieutenant Colonel took it and took a look. His face soon changed: "No, this is not Captain Eduardo's assessment report, no! This report was dropped. I can be sure that this is definitely not the previous one!"
"Are your answers always so affirmative?" Major General Rodel said with a sarcasm: "You have always been in control of these psychological assessment reports, and when we went to get these documents, we had already contacted the psychological assessment experts of the day. The experts told us that Captain Eduardo is definitely not suitable to be a federal agent. External inducement may trigger the most violent side of his character. Are you lying, or are the evaluation and psychologists lying?"
Lieutenant Colonel Mills had no idea why this happened.
.
.
.
.

But he could swear that the report he had in his hand was definitely not the one he had read.
