Once anything becomes a public topic of discussion on the Internet, netizens tend to want to get to the bottom of it.
At this point, although the military remained unmoved and did not give any response, the enthusiasm of netizens did not diminish. However, rather than saying that the pressure exerted by netizens was on the military, it was more accurate to say that it was directly transmitted to Song Shu's assistant Mei Yi.
She had lost contact with Archie for a while. After Lin Yi returned safely, she hadn't heard from Archie, so she was worried that something had happened to Archie. After she told Song Shu about this, Song Shu told her not to worry. But that was what Song Shu had said before, and now Song Shu herself seemed a little overwhelmed.
The North District Police Department had already contacted her regarding the so-called food poisoning incident at the Earth Restaurant, but the case was temporarily suppressed and the results have not been announced to the public.
Even if something that ferments or forms a discussion on the Internet can form a huge torrent in a short period of time, it is destined to lose its heat as time goes by. As long as anything can be suppressed, there is no need to worry too much about the subsequent spread.
But even though he knew this, Mei Yi still couldn't help but stare at the real-time popular Weibo on Starnet, and paid special attention to the military's official speaking channels, so as to be prepared to respond to any possible situation at any time.
Wei Que's two related reports and articles were both very well written. They not only stirred the emotions of netizens and magnified the sadness and worry of Archie's mother, but at the same time, apart from asking a few reasonable questions, he himself did not express any biased emotions.
Waited until after dinner.
Lin Yi and Xiao D went home together in a flying vehicle.
"The restaurant's business is getting better and better. According to the increasing rate of reservations, our restaurant's reception capacity is becoming increasingly insufficient," Xiao Dtuan was discussing with Lin Yi in a serious tone on the sofa. "The new reservations added today have been scheduled for half a year later, and the new reservations added tomorrow may be extended to nearly a year later."
"What are you considering?"
"I'm considering opening a few more restaurants," Xiao D said. "I just need to buy a few assistant kitchen computers. My data can be shared with them at any time. This way, I can disperse the customer flow and make more money."
Hearing that its purpose was to make more money, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. After all, it was rare for an intelligent computer to have such a wish.
Moreover, the restaurant is currently a mid- to high-end restaurant, and the daily flow of customers has already brought in a lot of revenue. It can be said that if Lin Yi does not want to get involved in the entertainment industry, he can still live a comfortable life just by relying on the income from this restaurant.
"Why do you make so much money? I think you should take it easy." Lin Yi said. He suggested, "Let Xiao A go to the restaurant with you tomorrow."
"Making more money will keep me from being bullied, and will allow both adults and Little A to live happily. I don't feel tired, and the adults don't have to worry. In fact, I have never felt so fulfilled and motivated as I do now."
Lin Yi nodded: "It is true that this happens when you do something you love. If you have made a decision, then I support you, but I hope you don't overload yourself."
I don’t know if Xiao D will listen to me. Anyway, Lin Yi has already bought the best insurance for Xiao D and Xiao A. In addition, Xiao D himself has regular inspections by the military, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Are you planning to go out tomorrow, sir?" Little D asked Lin Yi again.
Lin Yi shook his head: "I won't go out, but I will be very busy." As he was speaking, he suddenly received a call request.
Lin Yi looked down and found that the attack came from the desolate planet.
He clicked to agree to the call and said, "Hello? Hello, I'm Lin Yi."
The person who sent the call request was the soldier in charge of the Archie case that Lin Yi had met on the deserted planet. Probably because the news on the Internet was spreading, the military was ready to issue an announcement. Now they wanted to tell Lin Yi in advance and also told Lin Yi the basic results of the investigation.
After listening to the other party's narration, Lin Yi quickly said: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for calling to tell me."
In fact, Archie was really stubborn because he knew that based on the evidence currently held by the military, they could not trace the person behind him, and there would still be a lot of room for manipulation after his verdict came down, and Song Shu would definitely help him by then.
Even if he really has to spend some time in prison, Archie believes that he will be rewarded handsomely.
However, Archie's psychological defenses collapsed after the military showed him the video of his mother crying on the Star Network not long ago. At this time, Archie just wanted to return to his mother as soon as possible.
After Lin Yi hung up the call, he immediately sent a message to Wei Que, asking him to pay more attention to possible news from the official military account later.
When they got home, without waiting for Lin Yi to push the door, Xiao A opened the door like a whirlwind and ran to his legs, circling around him.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "You look like a puppy, you know that?"
"Yes, they are carnivorous canines, distributed all over the ancient Earth. They were once very popular domestic pets in the Earth era. Now there are a small number of them in the animal museum of the Imperial Research Institute." Little A said, "But why do I look like a puppy?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment, "Because puppies love their owners very much."
"I love my master, I am a puppy." Little A laughed, revealing a naive look.
Lin Yi couldn't help laughing: "I love you, too." He looked past Little A and said to Little D, "I love Little D, too."
After hearing this, little D immediately gave the same silly laugh as little A.
Whether it is to make people happy or to make the intelligent computer happy, it is not a difficult task, at least for Lin Yi.
Wei Que in the next room refreshed the page almost every thirty seconds since Lin Yi asked him to pay attention to the dynamics of the military account. Fortunately, the military was efficient and did not make Wei Que wait too long.
Just as Lin Yi arrived home, the news from the military had been released, which cheered up many netizens who had just finished drinking the nutrient solution and feasting on the signature dishes in reality on the official website of the Earth Restaurant.
The military issued a notice: Archie, 31 years old, from the Capital Planet, arrived at the Capital Planet as a crew member. During the filming, he was suspected of committing a crime and was detained on the deserted planet to cooperate with the investigation. The incident has now been investigated. Based on the military's existing evidence and Archie's own statement, the military now accuses Archie of being instigated by others and attempted murder. The relevant investigation is still ongoing.
This result was unexpected for many netizens, and many people typed a series of ellipsis and question marks.
"Shit, I never expected it to go this way."
"Attempted murder, my god... Nothing happened, right? It seems like everyone else is back except him, so there shouldn't be any big problems."
At the same time, there are netizens who have been following this matter for an entire afternoon and have already figured out Archie’s job functions and work content.
"It is said that they all signed a waiver agreement before going to the deserted planet. Basically, if an accident occurs on the deserted planet, there is basically no possibility of being held responsible... Actually, I think this contract is quite scary. No wonder some people want to take advantage of it."
"How big of a grudge is that? "
The official account of the military has not made any further comments after publishing this announcement. Netizens also know that the military's case handling procedures are not common to other areas of the empire, and the situation has been made so clear, so naturally not many people are concerned about the military.
But there are still a large number of netizens who have doubts and have flocked to the official promotional account of "The Wasteland" to ask questions.
"Did the crew really know nothing about this? I believe your ghost. Someone attempted murder during your filming."
"That's right. It feels like they are deliberately trying to fool us. This attitude is so irresponsible."
The editor of the official account was in a dilemma but there was nothing he could do. After all, he did not go with the crew to shoot the film. He was only responsible for operating the account. How could he know the inside story at the moment
It was Fred who came out and explained to the netizens.
Fred: There was indeed an accident involving Archie during the filming, at least it seemed like an accident at the time. There was a part of the filming that required an out-of-space shoot, and Archie was responsible for assisting Lin Yi in the out-of-space shoot. During the shoot, there was an equipment failure, but fortunately, Lin Yi was not in trouble, but Archie himself was injured. The reason why we couldn't tell you about this in advance was that before we left the deserted planet, Archie was still receiving treatment at the military medical center, and we were not informed of the results of the investigation.
Archie was left there out of trust in the military to protect the citizens of the Empire. But now it seems that this accident was purely Archie's own fault. Thank you for your concern. I will not respond to related matters. It has nothing to do with the movie itself at this time. Please look forward to "Into the Badlands" which will be released tomorrow.
Fred sent this message while typing and cursing Archie. Knowing that what happened to Archie was not an accident but was planned by him, Fred couldn't help feeling a little scared.
He originally had high expectations for Lin Yi, and even more so after watching the finished film. After learning that Lin Yi was the creator of "Dawn", Fred was even more amazed at Lin Yi's talent and plasticity, and almost began to prepare a script for Lin Yi with him as the male lead.
At this moment, Fred closed the Star Network page, still feeling depressed, but after changing his mind, his eyes lit up again, and he used this as an excuse to call Lin Yi to request a communication.
After making an appointment to meet Lin Yi, he did not forget to set the meeting place in a private room of the Earth Restaurant, intending to use Lin Yi's face to have a good meal. After all, he had to make the reservation himself. Xiao D was ruthless, and Fred's ranking number was already for half a year later.
As for netizens, they felt so sympathetic when they saw Archie’s mother crying before, but now they feel so disgusted.
