From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 300 Investigation, Class Test

In the military sequence, the existence of traitors is a very serious matter.

Once there is a traitor lurking in the ranks of the troops, it will be a huge hidden danger that may lead to unpredictable serious consequences.

Lu Heng went to the Longwei base and met with instructor Liu Songren to discuss the matter.

Afterwards, instructor Liu Songren reported the situation to his superiors, initiated a self-inspection procedure, and formed an investigation team to investigate the soldiers who participated in the Quel'dorei battlefield.

Not only Zhuo Hongjun, but all the warriors recruited to the elven civilization will be questioned.

Ten people, including Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun, Chen Zihang and Zhuo Hongjun, are subject to investigation.

The investigation team needed more professional personnel, so they transferred people from Tiexue to do the work.

In the investigation team's temporary meeting room.

When the team members met for the first time, Liu Songren was the first person in charge and was responsible for presiding over the work.

The people transferred from Tiexue happened to be acquaintances. They were led by master and apprentice Chen Linian and Gao Zhiting, and there were a total of four investigators.

The ten soldiers under investigation were questioned one by one in order.

Since most of the ten people had been promoted, they rushed over from various war zones to be questioned after receiving the order.

The first person to be questioned was Chen Zihang, because Lu Heng had already talked to him about the matter and he knew what the investigation team was investigating.

The other nine people only knew that they had been ordered to come, but they had no idea what the specific mission was.

In the interrogation room, Lu Heng, Chen Linian and a recorder sat opposite Chen Zihang and began to prepare for the interrogation.

Chen Zihang knew what was going on, so he was very relaxed.

Lu Heng first spoke up: "We have talked about this before, but the procedure still needs to be followed and recorded in a paper report, so just go over the process from the beginning."

In the military, discipline has always been strict.

Chen Zihang understood this very well and nodded, "I understand. You can start asking questions."

Lu Heng was mainly there to listen, and the one who was responsible for asking questions was Chen Linian.

The specific questions to be asked had already been drafted during the previous meeting.

If there are any details that need to be clarified, you can add questions temporarily.

Chen Linian asked all the questions one by one according to the original plan, especially asking in detail what happened to the ten-man team in the Dark Werewolf Territory.

After questioning Chen Zihang, it was Wu Weibing's turn, and then Tao Yalun, and they continued to ask one by one.

When Guard Wu came in, his expression was quite relaxed. When he saw Lu Heng, he raised his hand and said hello: "Captain Lu."

Lu Heng nodded in response to his greeting, then pointed to the chair in front of him: "It's just a routine questioning."

Guard Wu has experienced similar questioning, which usually occurred when something needed to be investigated internally.

As long as the questions are normal, they are usually not a big deal.

The questions asked were basically the same, and a comparative analysis was conducted based on the answers given by the ten people.

If someone's answer is different from everyone else, there is a problem.

Of course, if ten people give exactly the same answer, that’s a bigger problem.

After all, everyone has a different perspective, and when answering the same question, there will definitely be differences in what they say.

As they asked questions one by one, Lu Heng listened from the side. A lot of the content was repeated, and the development of the whole thing had already formed in his head.

This feeling was just like what I had experienced following the ten of them in the dark werewolf territory.

When Zhuo Hongjun was being questioned, Lu Heng was sitting behind the table, not looking up at him, but very focused.

Lu Heng proposed that the main purpose of this investigation was to investigate him. After all, the nine of them, including Chen Zihang, entered Kolos City together and acted together most of the time, so they had fewer opportunities to carry out the traitor mission.

Relatively speaking, Zhuo Hongjun is more suspicious.

Chen Linian first asked Zhuo Hongjun to tell him the story of how he escaped from the Dark Werewolf Territory.

What Zhuo Hongjun said was almost the same as what others said, with only some differences in details, but the overall context was the same.

Chen Linian didn't hear any problem, and then asked: "Have you ever obtained a rank in the Abyss Battlefield?"

Zhuo Hongjun asked back, "What class are you referring to? I have obtained the class essence, [Arcanist]."

Chen Linian emphasized the question again: "Have you ever obtained the Dark Werewolf class?"

Zhuo Hongjun shook his head and replied, "No."

Lu Heng observed him carefully. The answer was very natural and fluent, and there was no trace of lying in his voice.

Chen Linian turned his head and looked at Lu Heng, and his eyes hinted: You are not lying.

He has been investigating cases for most of his life, and most of the time he can tell whether a person is lying when answering a question.

If you are an expert in micro-expressions, you can clearly analyze which micro-expressions are signs of lying.

Based on his experience and feeling, Chen Linian can tell whether a person is nervous or lying, but if you ask him to explain the reason, he may not be so professional.

This is the accumulation of experience. You may not be very good at it in class, but it is useful for investigating cases.

Chen Linian asked all the questions, but couldn't see any problem. He looked at Lu Heng and asked him if he wanted to change to the next one.

Lu Heng thought about it for a moment and asked, "What is your rank?"

"Is it the first job level or the second job level?" Zhuo Hongjun asked casually.

He kept asking back, which made Lu Heng frown.

Chen Linian knocked on the table and reminded him seriously: "When they ask you about your rank, answer them all. Don't ask questions in return."

Zhuo Hongjun quickly replied in a serious tone: "Yes, the first job rank is [Assaulter], and the second job rank is [Punishment Knight]."

Lu Heng pressed his forehead with his fingers, thought for a moment, and said, "Test your rank."

If the person is an outside psychic, he has the right to refuse the class test.

This is a private matter, just like DNA and fingerprints. Citizens have the right to refuse unless there is evidence to apply for a search warrant.

The situation is similar for the classes of psychics.

Moreover, people with special abilities have extraordinary powers, making them more difficult to manage. Unless there is evidence that they are harmful, they will not be easily angered.

The situation is different for the superpower warriors in the troop sequence.

All combat power information needs to be filed.

Therefore, as long as the investigation team requested a job rank test, Zhuo Hongjun had no right to refuse.

Not only Zhuo Hongjun, but also Chen Zihang, Wu Weibing and others need to be examined to determine whether they have the dark werewolf class.

Or other classes that can inflict wounds on wild beasts.

The Iron Blood Investigation Bureau has a special method for detecting the rank of people with special abilities, which is carried out through multiple dimensions such as ability observation, blood tests, and energy analysis.

In the indoor training ground.

Lu Heng and Chen Linian stood in the corridor on the second floor, watching the job grade test being carried out below.

The ten people underwent blood tests and energy analysis in turn, and then demonstrated their source abilities live in this indoor training ground.

When demonstrating the source quality abilities, ten people demonstrated their abilities in turn, showing the abilities of all classes.

Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun and others all have three ranks, so they demonstrate three types of source abilities.

The Iron-Blooded Investigator who was specifically in charge of job rank testing took a pen and took notes.

Lu Heng knew all the class abilities they displayed, so he knew what class they were at a glance. After testing five people, it was Tao Yalun's turn. He displayed the second-level class [Claw of the Flame Beast] and scratched a deep claw mark on the cement slab.

Seeing this ability, Chen Linian handed the information to Lu Heng and tapped it with a pen: "Is this what you are looking for?"

The first class to be investigated is [Dark Werewolf], but it does not mean that [Dark Werewolf] is the only possibility.

Any ability that can cause claw marks from wild beasts is possible.

The reason why the main investigation direction is placed on [Dark Werewolves] is because there is a territory of Dark Werewolves in the world of Quel'dorei.

Lu Heng called Tao Yalun to the small conference room alone and asked again: "When did you get this rank?"

Tao Yalun didn't know what was being investigated this time. He came over to cooperate with the investigation and answered whatever was asked.

Being questioned alone again made him a little nervous: "Three months ago."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever used this ability to attack elves?"

Tao Yalun quickly shook his head: "Of course not, we were recruited to establish diplomatic relations with the elves."

Chen Linian then asked a few questions, and Tao Yalun answered them one by one.

After answering, he asked nervously, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous."

Chen Linian pulled Lu Heng aside and discussed quietly: "Do you think he is suspicious?"

Lu Heng shook his head slowly, recalling the files he saw from the elves. The files recorded that the bodies of the elf guards had claw marks from wild beasts, but no signs of burns.

"The scars in the records are from the claws of wild animals, but there are no burn marks. In addition to the claw marks, there are also bite marks, so they were probably not caused by him."

Chen Linian nodded and said, "Then continue to check on the others."

Lu Heng walked back and said to Tao Yalun: “Don’t be nervous, I don’t suspect you for the time being, but it’s better for you to try not to go out alone during this period of time.”

Tao Yalun knew that this investigation was serious, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I understand."

……

After asking Tao Yalun, Lu Heng and Chen Linian returned to the second-floor platform of the training ground to watch the test process below.

The one who is currently taking the job rank test is Zhuo Hongjun.

As required, Zhuo Hongjun demonstrated the abilities of his first job class [Assaulter], and then his second job class [Punishment Knight].

There seemed to be no problem with the abilities of both classes, at least the effects they displayed were correct.

As for the ability to disguise a class, this situation is indeed possible, but if you want to disguise, you also need to have the corresponding camouflage ability.

It is not a good choice to waste a skill slot just to disguise your own abilities.

Moreover, when testing class abilities, there are testers who specialize in testing power. Even if one has camouflage abilities, it is impossible to disguise the power of the same level.

After reading it, Lu Heng confirmed that what Zhuo Hongjun displayed was indeed the abilities of the two classes [Assaulter] and [Punishment Knight], and there was nothing suspicious about it.

Chen Linian also couldn't see the problem: "Do you want the next one?"

He had already seen that Zhuo Hongjun was Lu Heng's main suspect, and he had asked many more questions when he was questioning him.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "Is the test report out? Does he only have two ranks?"

"Let me ask." Chen Linian called the testing team.

It didn't take long for the testing team to send over the blood test report and energy analysis report.

The technician in charge of the test explained in person: "According to the test results, only two types of source energy were detected in his body. It can be confirmed that he only has two ranks."

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "He doesn't even have a third-level job? He doesn't even have a third-level source essence?"

Given Zhuo Hongjun's family background, he must have used all his resources.

Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun and others have reached the third level of rank, but Zhuo Hongjun doesn't even have the third level of source quality.

Liu Songren happened to walk over and heard the discussion. He interrupted and said, "I know something about this. Zhuo Hongjun's family has already prepared the third-level source essence, and they should be able to fuse the classes in the near future. In fact, he is quite picky and refuses to accept classes with lower combat power."

This explanation makes a lot more sense.

As for when he would fuse the third job level, it had nothing to do with the case to be investigated this time.

According to the test results, his two classes are indeed [Assaulter] and [Punishment Knight], and neither of these two classes can cause wounds in the shape of beast claw marks.

In other words, this investigation proved his innocence.

Afterwards, the remaining few people also took the rank test, and all of them had no problems.

Everyone's class and ability are very clear. Except for Tao Yalun's [Claws of the Flame Beast], which can cause wounds similar to those caused by the claws of wild beasts, no one else is a suspect.

As for Tao Yalun, he is not a big suspect either.

The investigation of the case has reached a stalemate here.

Chen Linian raised a question: "Are we, the Great Xia supernatural beings, the only ones who are suspected?"

Lu Heng shook his head slowly: "No, as long as they are from the same group of psychics recruited to the Elf World, they are all suspects. However, if they are psychics from other countries, there is basically no way to check."

The same group of superpowers recruited into the Quel'dorei world included not only Daxia, but also Fusang, Sindhu, the White Eagle Federation, the Lionheart Empire, and Siam...

The number of people with special abilities recruited is too diverse. It would take more than half a year to investigate all of them.

It will take such a long time, and I don’t know how many times I will have to go through the abyss battlefield. By then, the opportunity will be gone.

Therefore, this investigation can only end here and cannot be carried out further.

Before leaving, Lu Heng went to the door to see off Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun and others.

There were a few people who didn't come to the last party. Lu Heng hugged them and said, "From now on, everyone will go their separate ways. I hope everyone can become a leader of their own side."

"Let's go. We still have things to do in the army." Guard Wu reached out and patted Lu Heng's arm.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Maybe it's best not to see each other. After all, the next time we meet, it's probably because we're together again on an urgent task.

Lu Heng waved his hand and sent them away.

Later, Zhuo Hongjun also walked out.

The two looked at each other, and there was something else in their eyes.

Zhuo Hongjun walked up to Lu Heng, showing a respectful expression, and said: "I can probably guess that you are doubting me, but I really didn't do anything that violated discipline. You can question my ability, but you can't question my loyalty to the country."

Lu Heng found that his attitude had become much more restrained and he was not as arrogant as before.

"I hope so. This investigation is only temporarily suspended. If there are new clues in the future, you may be summoned back."

Zhuo Hongjun nodded and agreed: "I will absolutely obey the organization's arrangements and accept investigation at any time."

After he finished speaking, he stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and walked out the door. He got into a car with a red license plate and an opening and left.

Chen Linian came out with his apprentice and two other iron-blooded investigators, waved his hand and said, "Our work is also completed. We will write the investigation report when we get back. If there is nothing else, we will leave."

Lu Heng nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard at all. You can do the same job anywhere." Chen Linian waved his hand.

When they walked out of the door, Lu Heng suddenly asked, "Inspector Chen, based on your intuition, who among these people do you think has problems?"
