This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 119: Space-related superpowers?
"The passage to the safe was found on the ceiling of his room, and there were obvious cut marks on the concrete wall."

Everyone looked strange, and Saiyin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Uh..." The inquiring person hesitated, "Isn't this result a little too bizarre?"

"Strange?" Ren Cangsong glanced at it carelessly at first, then slammed the table and shouted angrily: "This is simply an insult. The person who attacked clearly did it on purpose."

He pointed at Li Ming's face and said, "He was hailed as the 'last glory of Polytechnic University' not long ago, but now he has become a suspect in the murder of Fu Zongchen. This is a naked provocation, a slap in our face."

"Is it possible..." Someone spoke weakly in the corner. Although he didn't finish his words, everyone understood what he wanted to say.

"Well, explain to me where the gun came from, how the armor was lost, and how the things in the safe were taken out?" Ren Cangsong asked, "How did he do it?"

Chen Jinglong's face was calm, "There is no doubt that this is a frame-up."

These clues have no substantial evidence, and everyone present can find several reasons to explain them.

The key is - where is the stuff?
Li Ming is not a guy without background who can beat people up indiscriminately. Chen Jinglong and Xia Yuanlun who were present were both extremely biased.

"In fact, maybe he really did it." Saiyin suddenly spoke up, "If he had space-related abilities, he could do this easily."

The meeting suddenly became quiet.

"He is a genetic evolver, how could he awaken special powers?" Some people didn't understand.

"Not necessarily." Sai Yin said meaningfully, and then smiled: "Since he came to Jingnan Star, he has purchased tens of millions of alloy materials, but he only takes in and never spends out."

"Of course, I just said it casually, you don't have to take it seriously."

"However." He paused, "I do have a supernatural power detection device here. If you need it, I can lend it to you."

Professor Xia frowned, "What do you mean, do you really doubt Li Ming? There is not even one example of space-related supernatural power in the entire Silver Star Cluster."

"As for the materials, I buy hundreds of millions and billions of materials every year and store them. Is this also a problem? He said before that he was building a C-class heavy mecha and told me about the concept."

Professor Xia snorted coldly: "Don't even mention 10 million Flame Blue Alloys. He can't even refine 30 million, and that's not counting the money he wasted."

"You guys are upset because Yuko is dead, so you want to mess with Li Ming too?"

"I'm just offering an idea." Saiyin raised his hands in surrender: "Don't be angry. Besides, we can find out by doing a blood test."

Ren Cangsong's eyes were deep. He knew about the materials, and all the people below him who needed to be investigated had been investigated.

But he also knew that Li Ming loved mechanics and often went to Professor Xia.

Chen Jinglong remained calm, "Your Excellency Saiyin is right. Since you have doubts, you must confirm this matter."

"But..." Chen Jinglong said, "After this incident, we will combine the Fu Zongchen case with the You Ke case for investigation. I hope Mr. Saiyin has no objection."

When the cases were put together, everyone was slightly moved.

This is really going to be a disaster for us. The special investigation team of the Itlan civilization is about to arrive. If we don't give them a scope of investigation, who knows where they will end up.

In particular, there were people from the Baijan prince among them.

Saiyin followed up with, "Then what about my previous suggestion."

"You can't use Li Ming to fish!" Xia Yuanlun said firmly, "The Torch has already killed Yuko. It's because Li Ming lives in seclusion that he has not been targeted."

"When did Yuko go out casually? Even in the embassy, ​​he was killed. Is Wu Yanqing's laboratory really a place with a high security level?"

Sein stressed: "In addition, it is still unclear whether Yuko was killed by Huoju, and Huoju is only a key suspect."

"I will consider this matter." Chen Jinglong suddenly spoke, leaving Xia Yuanlun stunned and hesitant to speak.

.........

Two days later, Li Ming was developing gene seeds but was rarely interrupted by Luo Chuan.

He looked solemn, closed the door of the training room, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me honestly, is Fu Zongchen's death related to you?"

Li Ming's heart skipped a beat, but he was an experienced tightrope walker after all. He remained calm on the surface, but actually wondered, "How could it be me?"

"Brother, why do you ask that?"

"Ren Cangsong is here, and he is followed by a large group of people, including Chen Jinglong and several professors." Luo Chuan looked worried and stared at Li Ming.

Li Ming was also a little nervous. He roughly guessed that the traces of his going to the safe had been exposed, but that was all.

"They won't force me to be the murderer, right?" Li Ming asked nervously.

"The dean said that as long as you are not the murderer, nothing will happen." Luo Chuan looked solemn.

Li Ming's expression was slightly tense. "You want to check my memory?"

"Impossible. Checking your memory is the same as destroying you. The dean will never agree to that." Luo Chuan shook his head, which gave Li Ming peace of mind.

"I believe they will give me a clear name." Li Ming said firmly, and at the same time opened the smart terminal and sent several messages.

Luochuan didn't think Li Ming was the murderer, but Ren Cangsong's large-scale attack made him feel a little shaken.

When we arrived at the reception room, it was full of people, and all of them were important people.

"Dean..."

"professor…"

"General..."

Li Ming greeted everyone one by one, looking like a good boy.

"Come, sit down." Ren Cangsong looked kind, but seemed a little helpless.
"I originally promised you that I would never come to your house again for this matter after I got out, but I found new evidence and I really need to verify it."

Ren Cangsong scrolled through the photos, showing him the concrete stones and passages in the room.

“…The safe was robbed, and the passage leads directly to your room.” He said while staring at Li Ming.

Li Ming looked down with a frown on his face. It was indeed because of these marks.

The traces of his visit to the safe could not be completely erased, and it was surprising that he had been able to delay it until now.

"I definitely haven't been there." Li Ming shook his head, acting too flustered and fake, and explained in a deep voice: "I stayed in that room for no more than ten hours. Does the general really think that I can do so many things?"

"…As for the room temperature, it can be created by any means. It's a bit too much to use this to convict me."

By the end of his speech, his tone had become quite impolite.

Ren Cangsong was not angry. It was right to be dissatisfied. No one would be happy to be treated as a suspect.

His original intention of coming was not to investigate the matter, but just to give Li Ming a reason. This guy has the potential for development at level 16, and he himself feels shocked. He is bound to be unstoppable in the future.

He also didn't want this kid to think that he was targeting him.

"I understand. Don't worry. If it really isn't you, we will definitely not wrongly accuse you." Ren Cangsong comforted him, and then asked someone to bring in a large instrument that looked very sophisticated.

"So, I need to take some of your blood for verification."

The staff came up with a test tube.

Taking blood again? Li Ming secretly adjusted the control object to keep his development speed blessing at eight times.

Then a drop of blood was squeezed out and fell into the test tube. As the testing instrument was running, everyone present seemed to be more serious.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after half an hour, there was still no result.

No one spoke during the period, as everyone's attention was focused on the results. It was not until the instrument stopped working and the staff went up to fiddle with it for a while before turning around.

Facing the attention, he shook his head and said, "Everything is normal, he is not a superpower."

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was suspected of being a person with superpowers.

Xia Yuanlun let out a long sigh, then snorted coldly.

Ren Cangsong's solemn expression also relaxed. Since it was certain that Li Ming was not a person with special abilities, there was no need to worry too much about the materials.

Otherwise, if we ask to search this laboratory again, there might be a big mess.

"This is a new direction of investigation. If there is someone with spatial abilities among those present, it would be possible to pull off this incredible assassination and theft." Ren Cangsong explained.

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully. They had already reached the point of suspecting that he was a person with spatial abilities. They really couldn't find out anything.

At this moment, someone hurried over and said something in Ren Cangsong's ear.

Although the voice was extremely low, most of the people present who were not evolvers could hear it clearly.

"The Minister of Central Intelligence, Qi Zhan, has arrived with a large number of officials."

Ren Cangsong's face changed slightly, and he had a headache. He couldn't help but look at Li Ming, "You kid."

Li Ming helplessly spread his hands, "We agreed on this when we left. I can't do anything about it."

Just as he finished speaking, a group of people arrived in a hurry. The leader was Qi Zhan, with a stern look on his face. Behind him followed Qi Xing and most of the officials present that day.

"General Ren, didn't we agree on this when we left? Once we leave that door, you are no longer allowed to use Fu Zongchen's case to investigate any of us." Qi Zhan came straight to the point, without any politeness.

He glanced at the instrument in the room and recognized it, so he had a rough idea of ​​what it was.

"The investigation team has new evidence..." Ren Cangsong frowned, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone beside Qi Zhan, who said bluntly:

"Okay, since this matter has not been investigated thoroughly, let's stop what we are doing for the time being."

"The prison of the city guard, the office of the intelligence bureau, or a secret bunker of some department. General, choose a place and we can go there by ourselves."

Today there is new evidence to investigate one person, and tomorrow there is new evidence to investigate another person. When will the investigation end?

"You question me?" Ren Cangsong said coldly.

"The general is confused. Doesn't the general know how much trouble will be caused if the investigation continues?" someone said in a deep voice.

Ren Cangsong took a deep breath. This was why he was tired of politics. He stood up suddenly. The room suddenly became quiet, and he said, "I promise, this is the last time."

"General, I have already promised you once." Qi Zhan looked at him without any fear.

Li Ming felt frightened. Qi Zhan was really fierce. If he were Ren Cangsong, he would have slapped him in the face a long time ago.

However, Ren Cangsong is not a lonely man. He has a large family and many grandchildren.

"What do you want to do?" Ren Cangsong's brows were throbbing.

"Disband the investigation team." Qi Zhan uttered a few words.

He had known for a long time that there was an investigation team, but he had no way to intervene. The Li Ming incident was an opportunity, and he had to put an end to this matter.

Ren Cangsong's eyelids twitched, and he was really angry: "Qi Zhan, you want to disband the investigation team so much, could it be that you are the mastermind behind the assassination of Fu Zongchen?"

"Evidence." Qi Zhan spat out two words.

Seeing that Ren Cangsong could no longer hold it in, Li Ming moved to the side, fearing that the blood would splash on him. He also secretly gave Qi Xing a thumbs up - your father is really awesome.

"The death of Fu Zongchen and the death of You Ke will be investigated together from now on." Chen Jinglong suddenly spoke.

Everyone present was a smart person and they understood the meaning of this sentence in an instant - they were really going to fall into the hands of the torch.

Qi Zhan's brows moved slightly. Through this incident, he could really turn the temporary political alliance into a small group, but it was impossible for him to really disband the investigation team.

He immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Since it has been confirmed that it was the torch that did it, that's the best."

Fu Zongchen's death, the theft of the mecha, and the theft of the safe are about to become completely unsolved cases.

Li Ming understood clearly that the previous statement was for the public, not the real thoughts of the top leaders.

Only now have the top management admitted defeat and accepted the consequences.

Ren Cangsong left with a livid face. Qi Xing said hello to Li Ming. Li Ming had just informed Qi Xing and asked him to tell his father, which led to this incident.

Chen Jinglong did not leave. After seeing off Xia Yuanlun and others, he asked Li Ming to accompany him for a walk.

"It was Saiyin who suspected you of having superpowers." Chen Jinglong was very good at cultivating his Qi, and he said slowly, "I will follow the trend and put an end to this matter."

Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but ask, "Dean, what if, I mean what if, supernatural powers are really detected in me, what should I do?"

"No big deal." Chen Jinglong chuckled, "Who would offend me, Wu Yanqing, Xia Yuanlun, or a person with level 16 development potential just for a dead person?"

"Prince Baijan has Princess Asmara to support him."

"However, a genetically evolved person has superpowers. You should know that this matter is far more troublesome than Fu Zongchen's death." Chen Jinglong added: "Fortunately, you don't have it."

Li Ming remained silent. The death of Fu Zongchen was neither important nor unimportant.

It was not even as big as the tiny wave caused by the latter as Chen Jinglong said.

"I want to suppress this matter, and I don't want it to cause too much trouble." Chen Jinglong mentioned another matter: "Torch is making a big move."

"Hmm?" Li Ming looked up.

"When I was investigating Bian Heng's death, I accidentally found a few Torch seeds. After further investigation, I found that since two months ago, Torch people have been sneaking into Jingnan through various means."

"Two months ago?" Li Ming thought, "When Sera started to build momentum."

"Well, Torch is very sensitive to this kind of incident. If there is a chance to intervene, they will make arrangements in advance." Chen Jinglong nodded, with a little worry on his face: "I vaguely feel that they have a big move, an unusual big move."

"Especially with the recent events that have happened one after another, when the Itlan investigation team arrives and the Sera royal family arrives, Jingnan will become the most eye-catching place in the Silver Star Cluster in recent years."

Li Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "Dean, tell me these things..."

"The Torch Seeds know very little. I want to capture a few real Torch members." Chen Jinglong looked at Li Ming with a dim gaze.

Li Mingfu suddenly realized, "You want to use me to fish?"

Damn, this dean looks kind, but he is actually full of bad intentions.

The torch won't kill me. In their opinion, I'm already addicted to the gentle world and can't be fished out!

Wait... something like that.

Li Ming's mind was full of thoughts, and he seemed to have some idea. He immediately looked embarrassed: "Dean, it's not that I don't want to, but the risk is really a bit high."

"You also know that I have great potential for development. As long as I stay calm, I will become a big shot sooner or later."
