Son of the Stars

Chapter 113 Choice
Today's handheld devices are no longer the same concept as the mobile phones before the Great Collapse.Although there is not much difference in appearance and size, the high portability of handheld devices, as well as increasingly rich entertainment functions, and more and more digital signature services, have made them the most important consumables.

There are more than a dozen manufacturers that produce handheld devices. Each of their products has its own characteristics and "specialties." Although they all look like black glass squares slightly larger than your hand, the differences in details and functions still make each manufacturer different. Have a group of users who belong only to you.By issuing coupons for specific models every year and organizing "advice meetings" on other manufacturers' products, the share of handheld device manufacturers basically changes slightly every ten years.

It is also difficult for users of different brands to get along well with each other. Anyway, it is the basic attitude to look down on each other.Users from different industries and educational backgrounds tend to use a specific brand and will not change it easily.

There is an A4-sized mezzanine in Director Li Xiaohui's suitcase. There are six handheld devices in the mezzanine that look exactly the same except for slightly different patterns on the backs and camera arrangements.

She skillfully pulled out a handheld device, pressed her fingerprint on it, and then pulled out a mobile phone case and put it on.Now, no one could tell that she had changed her handheld device.

Sitting in the room, Li Xiaohui's expression changed back and forth.She raised her head from the single sofa in the hotel, and after a long time wiped away a trace of moisture from the corner of her left eye.

The screen of the handheld device slowly lit up, and a message appeared on it.

[Win Watanabe's trust and re-investigate the cause of his wife's death. 】

She looked at the line of words, and then shook her head slightly.

"What's the point of worrying about death cases for more than ten years now?" She curled her legs up to her chest, and then suddenly frowned.

His brows furrowed, then quickly relaxed.She stood up, patted the slightly wrinkled clothes on her body, and then started to pack her luggage with her head down.

"I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day." She was packing her luggage while trying to complete the compression packaging of her clothes by kneeling down rhythmically. "I knew...sooner or later, I would have to be like this. A bunch of bastards hiding in the shadows... ruined your reputation!"

After closing the box with great strength, she took out the other five handheld devices in the mezzanine.After turning on the power of the device, it hit the ground hard at a special angle.

After the seemingly normal and complete handheld device landed on the ground, it turned into powder on the ground in an instant.Even if someone came in and saw it, they would probably only suspect that it was a pile of sand or something that came from nowhere.

After putting the sand into the toilet and flushing the water, Li Xiaohui's movements suddenly slowed down.She hesitated for a moment, then sighed, leaving the box she had just packed alone, and walked out of the room.

Ten minutes later, under the leadership of two staff members, Li Xiaohui appeared in front of Watanabe's water tank.

She nodded to the two staff members and then watched them leave the room.This is the medical floor on the second underground floor of the Academic Committee. Due to special circumstances, Watanabe and No. 14 were moved here to "rest".

Watanabe's left eye floating in the tank slowly floated up, looking like a jellyfish under the traction of the 30-centimeter-long optic nerve.

Watanabe's eyeballs were supposed to be uncontrollable.But with the help of Bian Que, Lu Chenlian made two brackets for Watanabe's eyeballs - now his eyes can move freely in the tank, but the speed is a little slower.

[Director Li. ] Watanabe looked at Li Xiaohui with his left eye, and typed quickly through his gaze with his right eye, [I thought you went back to rest. ] "Because time is limited, I will keep the story short." Li Xiaohui typed on the keyboard directly, "You killed your wife, right?"

Watanabe didn't type.His two eyeballs floated up together, and then he stared at Li Xiaohui, staring at her without saying a word.

"Okay, I'll take care of that." Li Xiaohui nodded and continued typing, "The current situation is like this - someone asked me to investigate the cause of your wife's death."

"I don't know if you've heard of it, but in the General Investigation Bureau there is... a loose organization called the 'Mystery Club'." Li Xiaohui obviously no longer intends to read Watanabe's response. Through his reaction, As well as some basic information recorded in the files, it is not difficult to come up with a definite answer.Now, she has more important things to do.

"After becoming a consultant of the General Investigation Bureau, the reasoning club sent me an invitation to join, and I agreed to the invitation. Our daily activities are very few, and the main activity is to analyze cases together through an encrypted network." Li Xiaohui said, " If we encounter an interesting or difficult case, we can share it with the club and seek help from other members.”

Writing this, Li Xiaohui's expression showed a slight fluctuation, "I was overly optimistic about the simplicity of this loose club. I shared our emergency evacuation process with them, and raised questions - why is our research team so... It is so important that an academician is willing to reveal his identity." She suddenly stopped what she was doing, thought about it, then tapped on the keyboard and asked, "Do you understand what I'm talking about?"

[The evacuation was too tense and the methods were too extreme. It is difficult for people to believe that the emergency evacuation was just to discuss my identity. ] Watanabe's two eyeballs looked down at the same time, which made his typing speed increase a lot, [You know that the content of your communication with me will be saved, right? 】

"Relax, Chief Watanabe." Li Xiaohui smiled, "If it weren't for this reason, I would have absconded right now."

"I shared my experience with the members of the club and put forward my own opinion - the person who pushed for the evacuation had a high probability of knowing in advance that the explosion was about to happen." She typed quickly, "But I don't understand why he wanted to expose himself Withdraw us. If this academician has ill intentions towards the coalition government, the most profitable approach would undoubtedly be to pretend that he knows nothing."

【really. ] Watanabe supported Li Xiaohui’s reasoning, [This shows that this academician does not have any malicious intentions. 】

"There is no malice, so why sacrifice those Union Guard soldiers in vain?" Li Xiaohui shook her head and said, "There are also thousands of residents in the town of Rothsville. As long as the news is revealed in advance, they don't have to die."

[At the risk of exposing ourselves, only our research team is retained. ] Watanabe concluded very calmly, [Although this is a doubtful point, it should not make you so nervous.Just report the news to the General Investigation Bureau - and you did. 】

Li Xiaohui nodded, "And I got two pieces of feedback, 'No information related to the academic committee and academicians can be disclosed externally', and an instruction came through the club channel - let me gain your trust and investigate. The cause of your wife’s death.”

[They have already told you the answer.This matter involves more than one academician, and possibly staff members of the academic committee...] Watanabe hesitated for a moment and then suddenly typed, [No, there is a problem in the bureau! 】

"I'm glad your brain isn't broken yet." Li Xiaohui typed with a smile. "I think someone within the General Investigation Bureau has known about this situation for a long time. But for various purposes, they did not handle it through normal channels. That question. After I raised that inference, they started dropping hints on me."

[And instruct you to investigate me... They are trying to destabilize the research group.These people have the exact opposite goals of those who are pushing us to evacuate. ] Watanabe typed and asked, [What are you going to do next?Looking for a place to hide? 】

"It is unrealistic to remain anonymous. As long as I still live in a non-radiated area, the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau will come to my door sooner or later." Li Xiaohui shook her head and wrote, "The only hope is you - even if you help me, you must Dig these people out of the bureau. And... figure out what's going on in the committee."
