The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 534 The Curtain Falls (Part 1)

At first, Jiang Hui didn't pay much attention to the other person. She was also drawn to Springer next to him. It wasn't that she was prejudiced; it was just that this guy was really eye-catching.

From the moment she first met him, this guy was like a firecracker; he would ignite on his own even without being lit, which made people quite admire his lung capacity.

If it weren't for his superb acting skills, this guy would probably be a character whose true nature could be seen through at a glance. Jiang Hui felt that even Taylor, who seemed carefree and thoughtless, was actually much more cunning than him.

While it's not impossible for someone like that to impulsively sabotage someone during an exam, their reaction wouldn't be typical if they were the one doing the harm... From the moment they were brought up, the other person's face was filled with suppressed anger and shame, clearly a sign of being offended. This doesn't fit the psychology of a perpetrator—though it's also possible they're not normal.

Just now, when people were removing the sensor strip from him, sure enough, it exploded at the slightest touch, causing quite a commotion. His emotions were consistent throughout.

Jiang Hui initially observed the two men without considering them suspects. Even though she identified them based on her own evidence, she wouldn't allow personal emotions to influence her judgment until the matter was fully resolved.

Jiang Hui also witnessed the little incident of Slimpger disassembling the sensor strip and noticed that the strip was indeed a bit too tight. However, what truly caught her attention was another person's expression; the other person's unusual emotions instantly separated the two.

This college student, who wasn't much older than her, seemed a bit strange. Compared to Slimpger, who was jumping around like a bean, the other person appeared overly calm.

It's not that people aren't allowed to remain calm. Jiang Hui knows that some people are naturally more emotionally stable, like Stark, Huan Xian, and Colonel Zong Ting who are present... Jiang Hui feels that they all belong to the category of people with relatively stable emotions.

But it felt different with this college student named Della.

When faced with difficulties, most people experience certain similar emotions, even those who are emotionally stable; this is a common human trait.

Normal people would feel uneasy and anxious in such a situation. If they were not the murderer, they would be eager to clear themselves of suspicion and prove their innocence.

This one seemed a bit strange; despite being suspected and even narrowed down to this point, he remained remarkably calm.

You say he's the kind of calm that comes from having a clear conscience? Jiang Hui's intuition tells her that's not the case. She feels that he's more like someone who's "confident and prepared."

But if we say he was "confident" and certain that this matter had nothing to do with him... it doesn't seem like that.

Rather than the feeling of 'it's none of my business,' Jiang Hui felt that the aura surrounding the other person was more like 'I'm not worried,' even with a hint of schadenfreude and a touch of pride.

Was he gloating over Springer's misfortune? Or even feeling smug? To put it another way, this guy was like a mastermind hiding in the shadows, watching a grand show unfold... a behind-the-scenes spectacle?
Well, Jiang Hui knew that her guess was baseless and lacked sufficient evidence. Since they were only at the stage of presenting evidence, it couldn't be said that this person was more suspicious than Springer from next door. However, Jiang Hui always believed that one should trust their intuition.

There's something wrong with this guy—

Jiang Hui is a person who is very loyal to her own ideas. If she feels there is a problem, she will try her best to find evidence to prove it. Therefore, she also wholeheartedly observed this person. This first-year college student named Della is of mixed race. Judging from his skin color, he should have some Negroid features. He must have mixed many years ago. Most of the features are very faint, but they are still there. His eyes are very dark, even darker than those of Chinese-Korean descent, like black grapes, but the color is not bright, giving him a somewhat sinister look.

What followed dragged on endlessly. Despite a minor hiccup, they eventually succeeded in removing the sensor bands from the two individuals and extracting their data, though the results were still somewhat strange.

What a coincidence!

Even the records are damaged! It's just an instrument for measuring height, a simple data aggregation tool, not even capable of lateral tracking. Yet, someone deliberately ruined the records to prevent them from seeing them clearly. What was their motive?

Of course, some people don't want them to see the complete data.

Some might say that Springer's sensor, with its missing data, could potentially be used by the other party to mobilize their spies planted in the military to clean up the mess for her.

Shouldn't Della, which can retrieve complete data from the sensor band, be more reliable than Springer?

However, after comparing the data from these two sensor bands with her own, Jiang Hui still had some questions. Therefore, when Imelda asked her, Jiang Hui requested to see the two mechs.

Looking at the data alone is biased; we need to consider the actual situation and compare the condition of the two mechs before making a judgment.

Come to think of it, she hadn't really examined the two men's mechs closely yet; perhaps she could glean some useful information from them. Anyway, the case has reached a critical juncture; both suspects vehemently deny the charges, and new evidence has stalled here. It seems like this is pretty much the end of the story for today.

However, after Jiang Hui silently recited the altitude data of the sensor belt and circled between the two mechs a few times, she changed her previous opinion.

Indeed, many things still need to be considered in comparison, otherwise it is easy to have information gaps, and then miss the opportunity to take measures and solve the problem.

Sure enough, there are clues to what kind of people have done, and they are all hidden in their actions.

An ordinary person probably wouldn't be able to see anything, and even if they could, they might not be able to distinguish it so clearly and quickly. Even the military law department, equipped with various advanced instruments, would probably have to verify each item one by one before reaching a conclusion.

Jiang Hui knew that there was probably more to this than met the eye. If they couldn't get the nails out and send them back to the military headquarters for investigation today, it would probably turn into a power struggle among various factions, especially the faction that was in charge of this matter, which would definitely try its best to clear itself of any wrongdoing.

Therefore, while no one with direct power has intervened yet, we should quickly dig a few more pits and strike a few more times. Otherwise, if we give them time to buffer, who knows how the people behind the scenes will smooth things over and suppress the matter. In that case, Jiang Hui will really have to swallow his losses.
