The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 526 Traces
The Interstellar Law Office and the Interstellar Military Law Office differ by only one character, yet they are two completely different organizations.

The Interstellar Law Office, as its name suggests, is the agency that manages matters related to interstellar law. It is also a judicial agency directly under the Inspection Bureau. They have the right to accept and adjudicate any legal matters involving interstellar citizens. They are to a certain extent independent of the Governing Bureau and the Military Department. In theory, even the Inspection Bureau, which is directly under them, cannot directly interfere in the adjudication process.

The Military Law Office is an agency that handles legal matters related to the military. It is an agency directly under the military and is theoretically not managed by the Enforcement Bureau or the Patrol Bureau. It is not included in or interferes with the Law Office, but both it and the Interstellar Law Office are guided by the Supreme Court, so they will have certain commonalities in handling laws.

However, most of the time these two systems are quite separate, operating as two completely different systems. Only in some special cases is it necessary for both to jointly handle the case. Otherwise, if one party takes over a case first, the other party will generally give way and not interfere much.

In fact, Zong Ting still considered Jiang Hui's situation and chose to report it to the Military Law Department. As a military affairs agency, the Military Law Department would naturally be more inclined to investigate military matters in the incident, focusing on the unusual examination situation. However, Jiang Hui could file a personal complaint as part of the overall case.

Because someone did indeed tamper with the exam, and based on this, Jiang Hui suspected that someone was behind her murder. Therefore, regardless of whether the evidence is sufficient or whether the final suspect can be identified, Jiang Hui's accusation cannot be considered a false accusation. At most, the lawsuit will fail, and she will only need to pay some compensation.

Zongting instinctively took a protective stance towards this person who was not fully awakened, proactively choosing the Military Law Department for her and secretly avoiding a relatively high risk for her.

Phillips was aware of this, but he also tacitly acknowledged that he was not a malicious person in this regard.

After Jiang Hui insisted on continuing the investigation and prosecution, the three of them found themselves in a strange and awkward atmosphere.

Of course, this is how it appears from the perspective of the onlookers... The three people involved don't seem to think much of it.

One remained calm and unmoved, more stable than Mount Tai; another was immersed in an aura of 'I'm very unhappy'; and the third was in a daze.

Actually, she wasn't spacing out. Jiang Hui was just thinking about some things. She was in very low spirits, and she had only managed to stay awake all this time because she wanted to seek justice for herself.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from that direction. Jiang Hui looked over as if waking from a dream, and the two officers also involuntarily turned to look. All three of them looked rather grim.

Before they could send anyone over to check, the therapist who had examined Jiang Hui earlier came rushing over with a happy expression.

Perhaps because the other party's expression was too obvious, the group of people unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The therapist, who was probably there to deliver the news, told them that the student who had drowned had been miraculously rescued and had regained some vital signs. He said that as long as he was taken to the hospital for further treatment, he would basically survive.

This relieved everyone.

Zong Ting nodded and told them that the rescue ship dispatched by the military was about to arrive, and that they could all go there first.

After seeing off the therapist who came to report, Zong Ting turned his gaze and saw that the girl, who had just seemed listless, had slightly dilated pupils, as if she had heard some surprising news.

"Sanger Taylor, do you know him?" the young officer asked. It was him. Jiang Hui hadn't expected that the person she'd pulled out was someone she knew; the person who had almost drowned in the mech and couldn't be saved was that guy Sanger. They were just...they were only here to take an exam! A strong sense of lingering fear washed over Jiang Hui, both for Taylor who had nearly died in the exam and for herself.

To be honest, Jiang Hui salvaging the mecha was purely accidental. She had been wading through the water for a while, and her own mecha was flooded with water and there wasn't much air left. She had spotted a shore that looked like a landing spot and was rushing to get there when she discovered a completely malfunctioning mecha near the bottom of the shore.

She was wondering why there would be an abandoned mecha in this place, but then she noticed that the rear of the mecha was damaged and there were bubbles coming out, which clearly meant that there was still space inside.

—In other words, this mech was not "paralyzed" for long, and it may even have come from the same place as her, from the same level exam student.

So now the question is, what exactly is she going to do?
Forcibly dismantling the cabin to check in such a situation is unrealistic. She herself is in danger, not to mention Jiang Hui is not sure if there is anyone inside... What if there is no one inside? Wouldn't she be putting herself in danger by desperately digging here?
But if we just ignore it and treat it as an empty shell, what if there's someone inside... Jiang Hui couldn't bear to even think about it.

So, she gritted her teeth and, with some effort, carried the completely inoperable mech up. Although the process was somewhat arduous and slowed her down considerably, thankfully, the final result was good.

Heaven knows how relieved Jiang Hui was when he heard that there really were people inside. He was so glad that he had ultimately chosen to bring him up, otherwise he would have been living with this unease for the rest of his life.

But who would have thought that the person inside was someone she knew—Taylor, who had been chatting and laughing with her not long ago. And he was so young…

Seeing that Jiang Hui seemed a little out of sorts, a thoughtful look flashed in the young officer's eyes: "Where did you run into him?"

Jiang Hui wasn't feeling well earlier, and the situation was urgent, so no one had a chance to ask about the specifics. But now that things have progressed to this point, anyone with eyes can see that something is clearly wrong.

Jiang Hui briefly explained the circumstances and timing of her encounter with the mecha piloted by Sang Ge, and then asked if she could take a look at the mecha.

Although she could basically confirm it herself, she still needed another example for comparison, and there was one readily available right in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Zong Ting remained noncommittal and led Jiang Hui to the mecha piloted by Sanger Taylor. However, due to the evidence-gathering process, Jiang Hui and the others could only observe from the outside and were unable to retrieve data from inside the cockpit.

However, this was enough for Jiang Hui.

After she had circled the mecha about three or four times, the summoned examinees and staff finally arrived.

The stage is set up; now it's just a matter of how the show begins.
