Chapter 1286 Star Sea ()
"Major Wang Chen..."
After understanding what happened, Xu Zhen apologized and said, "I can guarantee that Professor Dawson's loyalty to the Empire is not a problem. He is not a spy for the Alliance. He is just too eager for quick success in his research."
"If I have offended you, I apologize on behalf of the institute!"
Wang Chen's accusations against Dawson were so serious that even Xu Zhen could hardly bear it.
The Holy Light Research Institute is one of the highest scientific research institutions in the empire. A large part of the projects involved are in the military field. Once a leak occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Every staff member in the institute, including experts, professors and researchers, has gone through layers of screening and loyalty tests and is under strict surveillance.
Xu Zhen has known Professor Dawson for decades. He knows that although the latter's character is not very good, his personal abilities are fine and he has no reason to betray the empire.
Therefore, although she was very disgusted with the other party's actions, she also tried her best to protect her colleague.
After all, there is no such thing as a 100% pure scientist!
"Dean Xu, I think I need a reasonable explanation."
In response to Xu Zhen's euphemistic explanation, Wang Chen said in a deep voice: "I respect the authority of the Holy Light Research Institute and its contribution to the empire, but the institute also needs to respect my personality and life!"
"Whether Professor Dawson is an alliance spy or not, his actions have seriously threatened my safety, so I no longer trust the Holy Light Research Institute and will not continue to cooperate with the experiment."
Xu Zhen was speechless. She turned her head and glared at the pale-faced Dawson with angry eyes - look what you have done!
Dawson instinctively wanted to argue, but it felt like a huge rag was stuffed in his throat and he couldn't say a word.
Wang Chen smiled coldly: "It seems that Professor Dawson has nothing to say, so let's do it."
"sorry."
Xu Zhen apologized again: "We'll stop here for today. I'll ask Captain Xia to take you back to rest."
After a pause, the vice president of the Holy Light Research Institute said firmly: "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
"I'll see."
Wang Chen nodded and left the laboratory.
As soon as his figure disappeared at the door, Professor Dawson slumped to the ground like an old dog with its spine removed, gasping for breath, with beads of sweat the size of beans appearing on his forehead.
No one knew how much pressure he had just been under. He was almost suffocating!
But even though Professor Dawson looked extremely embarrassed and pitiful at this moment, Xu Zhen did not show any sympathy: "Dawson, I want to hear your explanation now."
"What I need to know is the truth. Please don't try to deceive me by insulting my intelligence."
"If you do this, the consequences will definitely be more serious than you think!"
Professor Dawson had countless excuses in his mind, including putting the blame on Wang Chen, but if he used these excuses to fool Xu Zhen, he would only be asking for trouble.
The professor from the research institute hesitated and failed to give a complete explanation.
Xu Zhen knew that the other party was really hiding something. She waved her hand in disappointment and said, "Forget it, you don't have to explain. Let the Security Bureau investigate this matter."
"do not want!"
Dawson panicked and shouted quickly: "It's Xu..."
boom!
Before the professor could finish his words, a powerful fist struck him on the temple fiercely and accurately.
The one who made the move was an A-level combat professional!
Professor Dawson was just an ordinary person. How could he withstand such a fierce attack? With a "click", his head suddenly tilted and his neck broke on the spot.
None of the guards at the research institute were on guard, but they raised their guns as quickly as possible and aimed at the A-level warrior who made the move.
Xu Zhen took a step back and his face turned extremely ugly.
The A-level warrior who killed Professor Dawson was a senior security officer of the institute. He was specially assigned to help Professor Dawson with this experimental mission.
Who could have thought that the other party would kill and silence someone at the most critical moment!
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, this A-level warrior did not make any resistance. Instead, he showed an extremely strange smile, and black blood oozed from his mouth, eyes, ears and nose.
He actually committed suicide.
This time everyone was shocked, and the guards around Xu Zhen pointed their guns at another senior security guard.
The opponent is also an A-level combat professional.
And this man raised his hands, smiled bitterly and said: "I surrender, I know nothing, I just obeyed orders."
"Catch him first."
Xu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Let the Security Bureau investigate."
This matter was far beyond what she could handle, the water was deep enough to drown thousands of people!
Xu Zhen suddenly felt a strong sense of regret.
If she had known this would happen, she should not have invited Wang Chen to the institute to do experiments, causing such a huge disturbance.
As the protagonist of the whole incident, Wang Chen returned to his residence accompanied by Captain Xia.
In the next few days, Wang Chen stayed at home and waited for the outcome of the matter and his subsequent arrangements.
What surprised Wang Chen was that no one came to question him for five days, as if he had been forgotten.
Only Captain Xia would come over to say hello on time every day as a routine.
Wang Chen didn't know how much of a shock this incident against him in the research institute's laboratory had caused among the upper echelons of the empire, especially the result that Professor Dawson was murdered to silence him, which even the Emperor knew about.
The Imperial Security Bureau therefore launched a comprehensive investigation. The reason why no one came to look for him for the time being is actually very complicated.
It was not until the morning of the sixth day that Wang Chen met Gu Yanchang, chief of the Imperial Security Bureau, again in the dormitory.
The senior official of the Security Bureau looked unhappy. As soon as they met, he handed Wang Chen a confidential document: "Major Wang Chen, this is the preliminary investigation result of Professor Dawson's incident. Do you have anything to add?"
Wang Chen took it and read it, a little surprised: "Dawson is dead?"
Gu Yanchang nodded silently.
Just yesterday, as the chief officer of the Imperial Security Bureau, he was called over by the Emperor and reprimanded in person.
Although the Holy Light Emperor did not punish him, Gu Yanchang was very clear that the position under his buttocks was already shaky and could be whipped at any time!
This was simply an unexpected disaster for him.
"I understand."
Wang Chen nodded: "I don't have anything to add."
In fact, the results of this investigation can be summarized in just a few sentences. Professor Dawson violated the institute's regulations on his own initiative and was killed by a senior security officer who lost control of his mind, and the latter committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Such a result can only fool children. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence would not believe it is so simple.
But the attitude of the imperial high-ranking officials to make a big deal out of a small matter is obvious.
Wang Chen had nothing to say.
Obviously, if he wants to catch the real mastermind, he can only rely on his own strength!
Wang Chen was not in a hurry and had no intention of confronting the rulers of the empire.

The first update is sent.
