Future Crystal Crown

The security personnel rushed over to check the scene one after another, but Qiu ignored them and hurriedly checked the information on the computer.Cooper was already impatiently waiting.

Qiu stepped up his work, and it was dawn by the time Cooper got it done.

Qiu lay on the table and just closed his eyes when he heard someone talking in the corridor.

"The project team has a meeting, everyone goes to the big conference room. Now!" Sean's voice came to the office.

"Now?" Qiu raised his head with difficulty.

"Emergency meeting, Lieutenant General Haynes personally notified, right now, let's go." Sean came over to Laqiu.

Qiu struggled to his feet.Go with Sean to the big meeting room of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

After entering, I found that something was wrong. Colonel Hawke stood in front with a solemn expression, and behind him were the three bosses, Elson, Haines and Wood.Everyone looked like they were at a memorial service.

There was already a huge crowd in the venue, and the principals and deputy heads of various departments of the Ministry of Science and Technology were present. This specification should be a heavyweight news to be released.

"What happened?" Li Zhonglin quietly asked Xiao En.

"It seems to be from the research institute." Sean whispered.

The meeting started in a tense and serious atmosphere.

Haynes spoke as a representative of the three bosses.

"Everyone, we called everyone here urgently because we have a very bad news to announce." Haines scanned the audience.

Everyone held their breath.

"Just last night, a very serious fire broke out in the research institute of our Ministry of Science and Technology. Someone leaked combustible gas in the corridor, and then ignited the seal. Fires of varying degrees broke out wherever the gas went. However, many laboratories, including the Sagittarius Tree Laboratory, were completely burned down, including all experimental objects and equipment." Haynes.

"Ah?" Qiu, who hadn't fully woken up, went directly into a stunned state from a half-dream state.The whole person was stunned.

"The case is still under investigation. It is certain that this is a typical case of arson, and it was an organized and purposeful destruction of the laboratory. The Military Supervision Section has organized a joint investigation team to investigate the incident. Unannounced inspection. All those who have recently entered or exited the laboratory will be summoned, I hope you go back and recall carefully, and report any suspicious situations in time..." Haines continued.

Qiu's mind was already scorched.

How many trees are dead?He will never know what the mastermind who killed his mother's ex-husband looks like?

Is the truth being covered up again like this? !

The answer to the mystery that I hoped to be solved soon was once again abruptly blocked at a place that was only one step away from success.The hope of clearing his mother's innocent grievances is just here. In the past few hours, the tide came and went, sometimes giving him hope, and sometimes shattering it.

Such subversion and Fangqiu felt unbearable.

"It seems that this is a multi-point operation." When Amor put his hand on Qiu's shoulder, Qiu knew very well in his heart that the four people who came to the office to find Xiaoshu last night set fire to the research institute. The people must be in the same group.Their purpose is very clear, that is, to make Ma Shu all shut up, and to keep the truth about the killing of Dean Haynes forever unknown.

The world seemed to collapse at this moment.Countless fragments danced in front of his eyes, scattering in all directions with fragmented screams.All efforts were in vain, and resentment filled his chest at this moment.

Qiu raised his head and looked ahead, realizing that Lieutenant General Haines was also looking at him at this moment.In the coffee-colored eyes, there is concern and worry, and there is a middle-aged man's unflappable and steady momentum and determination.

Looking at each other, Qiu felt the deep doubt in Haynes' eyes.

A strange idea popped up in Qiu's mind, he wanted to talk to Haines, right away, he wanted to tell High Speed ​​Haines everything he had experienced in the past dozen hours s.These matters are not only related to the misunderstanding and blame that have existed between the two families for so many years, but also related to the future fate of the two families.

Regardless of whether the murderer can be severely punished by the law, the truth should be made public.

Qiu stood up from his seat with a pale face.

"Little Cook, what do you want?" Colonel Hawke was speaking.He looked at Qiu who came forward in surprise.

However, Yau didn't seem to notice Colonel Hawke's question at all, and he went straight to Lieutenant General Haines.

"Sir, can I take a moment of your time?" Qiu asked directly.

Everyone looked over.

"Follow me." Lieutenant General Haines said quickly without any hesitation, stood up and walked towards the door first.

So Qiu followed Lieutenant General Haines and left the meeting room under the surprised gaze of his companions.

Arriving at the office of Lieutenant General Haines, Qiu felt that he was still in a state of drifting, his whole body was empty, as if he would fall down at any time like paper.

"Sit down first, I'll heat you a glass of milk." The lieutenant general didn't rush to start, but arranged for Qiu to sit on the sofa like a father, and then walked quickly to the wine counter, and personally heated a glass of milk for Qiu .

This is Haynes' strength. Although many senior officials like to order the guards to serve tea and water, Haynes still likes to do it himself.

Soon, Haines came to the sofa with the drink he made himself.

"I know you didn't sleep last night." Lieutenant General Hales tested the temperature, put the milk in front of Qiu, and said in the tone of his own child: "Drink this first."

Qiu looked at the milk and then at Haines, without saying anything, took the glass and poured the milk down in one gulp.

The rich sweetness and slightly scalding heat of the hot milk flowed from the mouth into the stomach, and the reassuring and warm feeling made Qiu feel much better on his body.

Haines looked at Qiu with satisfaction, as if he saw a child who refused to eat finally started to eat.

Qiu drank all the milk in the glass in one breath and let out a long sigh of relief.The milk has the fragrance of fruit and the richness of egg yolk, and a little bit of salt makes the taste more attractive.This taste is very strange, but it surprised Qiu's taste buds, as if there was a feeling of familiarity.

"Would you like another drink?" Haines asked with a smile.

"No, thank you." Qiu put down the glass.I came here to talk to Haines, not to have breakfast.

"Then tell me now, what do you want to tell me?" Lieutenant General Haines still sat down on the single sofa at the end of the coffee table, with his face slightly sideways and an encouraging smile on his face.

Qiu Shen calmed down his thoughts, and then started the matter from the beginning.

From accidentally discovering that several centaur trees were murdered, to gradually knowing how they murdered, from knowing that the victim was a man surnamed Haynes, to being confirmed by several murderers through the photos in the newspaper, and to the fact that they had borrowed When we arrived at the special camera, we were going to take a picture of the person behind the image of Sagittarius today...

Qiu told the story one by one without missing any link.

Haines listened silently, his gloomy face was the same as usual, without any shock or ups and downs.

Yau felt a pang of frustration.

"Don't you believe what I said? If you don't believe it, you can ask Tang Xiuluo, he went through all the process with me." Qiu tried to convince Haines to believe himself.

Haines smiled mildly.

"I believe it. I believe everything you said." Haines said with some emotion: "I just didn't expect you to do so much for this matter, and you did it so well."

There was sincere approval and affirmation in Haines' eyes, which made Qiu feel a little better.

"Then you now believe that he didn't commit suicide?" Qiu wanted to confirm this.

Haines pondered for a while, before speaking: "There is a saying that I have never said to anyone, and today I will tell you: I never believed that Dean committed suicide."

"Oh?" Qiu opened his eyes wide. "How do you know he didn't commit suicide?"

"Because I know him." A wry smile appeared on the corner of Haines's mouth: "Dean joined the election because he has a dream. He wants to promote the integration of human and alien civilizations. He plans to gradually break the barriers between races within five years." He is a great strategist and thinker, and he has grand ideas, which will eliminate hidden dangers for human beings and bring about long-term peace in the universe... All of these things It's not finished yet, how could he choose to commit suicide just because of emotional frustration?!"

There was grief, pain, and deep unwillingness in Hailes' eyes.He felt wronged for his brother, and he also felt pain for those good plans that were stillborn.

"Since you know, why haven't you said it all the time? You let my mother be misunderstood for more than 20 years with a bad name on her back, and you even let your Mei Ruper force her to divorce!" Qiu felt quite resentful towards Haines in his heart.

Haynes nodded knowingly, but said to Qiu in a more heartfelt tone: "The power of evil is far more ferocious than justice. Sometimes we must choose to remain silent even though we know it is humiliation, because only in this way can our The enemy let us go, we need patience, time, and re-accumulation of strength. A real strong man is not someone who has no tears, but one who continues to walk on the path he believes in with tears in his eyes.”

He himself did the same.

When he just graduated that year, he not only had to face the tragic death of his brother, but also faced the subsequent power struggle. The rapid decline of his family made him understand the cruelty of the battlefield.As a loser in the power game, he can only choose to leave.

He went to a scientific research base far away in the sky, he wandered around the border area, dealt with all kinds of people, he learned to pay attention to the result and learned to use unscrupulous means.His demeanor was dignified and respected, and gradually he became a little famous in the local area.Then he got acquainted with local influential people and the financial groups behind them.

From them he learned to see people and harness the various powers.

Today he came back with enough strength to contend with, but it is no longer important to dig out the truth. He has a clearer goal, and he wants to make Dean's dream a reality.As long as those proposals became actual law, he and Dean won.

"So what do we do now?" Yau asked Haines.At this moment, he could clearly feel the strong willpower emanating from Haines.That kind of powerful spiritual power is like the precursor of a volcanic eruption, people can feel the heat beating in the air before seeing the flames.
