615 Investigation Team
On the gra.s.s outside the palace, Moyun, the butler, and the guards were horrified. On the one hand, they were shocked that the dignified finance minister, Lunardo, had been publicly executed. On the other hand, they were afraid that Lord Wu Ming would kill them as well.
What is Lord Wu Ming doing? They were somewhat puzzled, but none of them moved.
After Xu Jingming killed Lunardo, he stood still and raised his head slightly with his eyes closed.
Repay kindness with kindness and exact vengeance!
!!It’s finally over. Xu Jingming felt extremely comfortable. He had finally sorted out his karma, and his compatibility with Abyssal Void’s shadow deep down was rising. He naturally received more high-dimensional information.
I can already receive so much high-dimensional information without visualization? Xu Jingming was secretly surprised. There are really many benefits from sorting out karma.
Whoosh.
With a step, Xu Jingming tore through the air and disappeared from the private planet, Lulu.
In a distant cosmos, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on a floating asteroid.
Visualizing the Abyssal Void!
After sorting out his karma, Xu Jingming focused on visualizing Abyssal Void’s figure for the first time. The shadow of Abyssal Void that had always existed in his mind suddenly became much more towering and clearer with the visualization. A large amount of high-dimensional information instantly inundated Xu Jingming’s mind and consciousness.
Boom.
A terrifying aura surged in all directions, obliterating the asteroid and surging throughout the cosmos.
This time, Xu Jingming didn’t deliberately search for s.p.a.ce pirate lairs. However, he didn’t harm any lives.
******
Planet Lulu.
Xu Jingming had a n.o.ble status and was peerlessly powerful. n.o.body dared to stop him from killing Lunardo and leaving.
However, the others on the planet couldn’t leave even if they wanted to.
Buzz!
There were Moyun and some other important figures with n.o.ble statuses in the s.p.a.ceships, as well as some personnel who were here to bribe Lunardo. They were terrified and uneasy; all they wanted was to leave early.
“The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute and the Cosmic Human Alliance have already learned of the death of the planet’s owner, Lord Lunardo. From this moment onward, entering and exiting is prohibited for Planet Lulu. We are waiting for the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute and the Cosmic Human Alliance’s joint investigation team to arrive!” The security system’s AI voice echoed across the planet.
Lunardo was very willing to pay a price for his safety. Be it a Civilization-level smart bot Guardian or security defense systems of similar value, they were quite impressive. Although they couldn’t stop Xu Jingming, they could stop these s.p.a.ceships.
“We can’t leave.” In her s.p.a.ceship, Moyun shook her head.
“Master, Lunardo’s death has nothing to do with you. It’ll just take a little more time,” a maidservant said.
Moyun shot a glance at the maidservant and scoffed. “What do you know? The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute’s investigation team and the Cosmic Human Alliance’s investigation team won’t cut me any slack. They will interrogate me harshly Things won’t be easy.”
“A harsh interrogation? Lord Wu Ming killed him, and it has nothing to do with you,” the maidservant said.
“They won’t dare to interrogate Lord Wu Ming either.” Moyun shook her head.
The maid blinked.
s.p.a.ceships on Lulu were only allowed to land; everyone could only wait helplessly.
Just three hours later.
A black s.p.a.ceship arrived, breaking through the atmosphere and entering Lulu’s atmosphere. The s.p.a.ceship’s hatch opened, and a group of humans in black uniforms flew out. They looked down at the planet.
“The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute’s investigation team isn’t here yet?” The leader of this group was an elderly man and woman.
The elderly man’s face was covered in wrinkles, but his back was straight, and he exuded a cold and murderous aura. Having been in the Cosmic Human Alliance’s official law enforcement agency for a long time, he was used to being domineering.
“The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute isn’t like us; it doesn’t have an operation team on permanent duty.” The fat elderly woman beside him smiled warmly. “They will only temporarily establish an operation team when the research inst.i.tute’s Origin lifeforms are involved. It will take a little more time.”
“Hmph, what a waste of time.” The elder was rather dissatisfied.
“According to the orders, they will definitely arrive in six hours. Let’s wait a little longer,” the elderly woman said. “When the two investigation teams are here, we can carry out the joint investigation.”
This was also to ensure that the rights and interests of Origin lifeforms weren’t violated.
Other than the official investigation team, the investigation team of the top factions had to be deployed to investigate Origin lifeforms. The two investigation teams had to supervise each other to ensure that the Origin lifeform wasn’t framed or wronged.
“The Cosmic Human Alliance’s investigation team has arrived.”
People from all over Lulu guessed it when they spotted the s.p.a.ceship from afar, but this investigation team didn’t descend. Instead, they waited patiently in midair.
Another two hours pa.s.sed.
Another silver s.p.a.ceship traversed the void, and six figures flew out.
The Cosmic Human Alliance’s official investigation team immediately rendezvoused.
The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute’s investigation team was composed of a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform and five Origin lifeforms. The leader was a long-eared manMr. Yang.
“There are a total of 22 people in our official investigation team. This is our team leader, Bai Feng. I’m deputy team leader, Yi Yunna,” the fat elderly woman said with a smile.
“Under Deputy Dean Redmond’s orders, Mr. Yang will be the team leader and establish a temporary investigation team to be in charge of Lord Wu Ming’s killing of Lunardo.” An Origin lifeform from the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute said, “We have to ensure that Lord Wu Ming isn’t framed and that the entire investigation process is open and fair.”
“Framed?” The aged face of the official investigation team leader, Bai Feng, was filled with ridicule. “Wu Ming contacted the Primestar civilization’s emperor, His Majesty Lunarstar, through the virtual world and killed Lunardo publicly while the connection was still established! There’s no framing involved.”
The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute’s temporary investigation team leader, Mr. Yang, finally spoke and smiled. “Wu Ming killed Lunardo, but we still need to investigate carefully the reason why.”
“First, I need your Primordial Research Inst.i.tute to bring Wu Ming over,” Bai Feng ordered. “I need him to cooperate with our investigation.”
“Bring Wu Ming here?” Mr. Yang shook his head gently. “Sorry, he’s uncontactable.”
“Uncontactable?” Bai Feng was stunned. “We can’t contact him either! What’s wrong with Wu Ming? He isn’t cooperating with the investigation after killing someone!”
“He has the right to remain silent,” Mr. Yang remarked with a smile.
“But he has the obligation to cooperate with the investigation!” Bai Feng was furious.
“You can pursue the matter of him not cooperating with the investigation and get the officials to punish him,” Mr. Yang said. “For the officials to punish a peak Lv. 10 Origin lifeform that has contributed greatly, the review process will probably take a month. Moreover, it needs the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute’s approval”
“You guys are ridiculous.” Bai Feng was furious.
“The scions of the three royal families often act in an unbridled fashion.” Mr. Yang glanced at him. “Sometimes, a punishment is required.”
Bai Feng became even angrier.
The three royal families had a deep influence on the Cosmic Human Alliance’s officials. After all, they were families of the three Paramounts and had a lot of say. Although the number of Paramount families in the billions of years was uncountable, the three Paramounts deliberately restrained the influence of the three royal families.
However, the three royal families still tried their best to maintain their privileges.
For example, Bai Feng was a scion of the Abyssal civilization’s royal family.
They also stood on the royal families’ side when it came to the death of a scion. They had to suppress the arrogance of these Origin lifeforms.
“Search the area.” Bai Feng looked down. “Interrogate everyone on Lulu and get to the bottom of this matter!”
“Yes, sir,” the investigators behind him replied in unison.
“We’ll a.s.sist in the investigation,” Mr. Yang said with a smile. “Just make sure that the official investigation team doesn’t do any framing.”
“Yes,” the five Origin lifeforms behind him answered.
In s.p.a.ce, Xu Jingmingwho was sitting cross-leggedopened his eyes, which seemed to contain a vast universe.
The next step in the imitation method is to take in disciples, Xu Jingming thought.
After sorting out his karma, he imitated Master of the Abyssal Void’s actions, allowing him to get closer and more compatible with him.
In fact, I can already vaguely sense Master of the Abyssal Void’s intense emotions and will, but I don’t dare to imitate that. Xu Jingming sighed inwardly, having learned of it after interacting with Secretary General Blacksky.
If there were any future problems with the imitation method, it would first be an uncontrollable abnormal emotion! If this continued, another consciousness would appear in the uncontrollable emotions. That would be the end.
Therefore, Xu Jingming didn’t dare imitate His emotions and will.
I’ll imitate His behavior first and try my best to imitate what’s on the surface so that I can receive more high-dimensional information, Xu Jingming thought.
In his personal s.p.a.ce in the virtual world.
The Cosmic Human Alliance’s investigation team is contacting me? After Xu Jingming’s consciousness went online, he discovered that the other party was trying to contact him. Unfortunately, I’ve set up a whitelist. Only those on the whitelist can contact me; the rest are blocked.
Buzz.
Xu Jingming contacted Uncle Qi.
“Young Master.” Uncle Qi’s projection appeared beside him.
“Uncle Qi, have you selected 30 disciples for me?” Xu Jingming asked.
“50 people have been selected; I’ll send you the detailed information. Young Master, choose the 30 from them,” Wu Qi said. Although Xu Jingming had asked him to choose 30 people, Wu Qi felt that he would leave the selection of disciples to Young Master after the preliminary selection.
Xu Jingming quickly received information on the 50 candidates. He swept his gaze and finished reading millions of words and watching a large number of videos.
These 30. Xu Jingming instantly made a decision. He had long decided on Wu Qi’s son and daughter, so he only needed to select 28 talented youths.
******
After three days of detailed reviews, the official investigation team was forced to change some of the investigation information in the face of the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute’s reb.u.t.tal evidence.
“An investigation should be fair and just,” Mr. Yang said as he personally signed his name. “If you didn’t have any bias, we would’ve long signed it.”
“Hmph.” Team Leader Bai Feng was rather furious.
The investigation results they had previously provided had some information beneficial to Xu Jingming erased, with the addition of information beneficial to Lunardo. This simple erasure and addition wasn’t a fabrication, but it significantly affected the severity of the matter.
The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute’s investigation team supervised and was aware of all the evidence. Therefore, they wouldn’t agree to unfairness and would even provide ‘evidence’ to refute the case.
Only with sufficient evidence could they refute. Therefore, it lasted for three days before both parties signed off on the investigation.
In fact, with the Cosmic Human Alliance’s technology and the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute’s psychic abilities, it was very easy to interrogate ordinary people. They would unknowingly reveal everything.
Logically speaking, the review could be completed in a day. It took three days because of the dispute between the two investigation teams.
The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute clearly sent Yang over to protect Wu Ming to the best of their ability. However, how much influence can you have on the Cosmic Human Alliance’s official judgment? Bai Feng reached out and tapped gently, sending the information to the officials.
Buzz.
Mr. Yang also sent the same information to the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute.
At the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute headquarters, on the second floor of the same secluded building.
The wide and fat Deputy Dean Redmond sat at his desk. A projection appeared in front of him, and the detailed information of the investigation appeared.
As the acting dean, he was now the highest-ranking person in charge of the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute! After all, the dean had been adventuring in high-dimensional s.p.a.ce all this while. It cost him quite a bit to send his consciousness back once, so he naturally wouldn’t waste his energy dealing with such trivial matters.
“That punk.” Deputy Dean Redmond looked at the information and smiled.
