In the center of the empty performance hall, a large section of the wooden floor was missing.
Law Enforcement Minister Tao Guang stood on the bare ground, his face as gloomy as water.
A group of senior law enforcement officials were around, all with serious expressions, and no one dared to look Tao Guang in the eye.
Xu Shan from the reaction department was also there. He was not under Tao Guang's supervision, so he could have a relatively easy time.
However, given the current situation, Xu Shan couldn't feel relaxed.
Superstar Luo Jia disappeared, and disappeared in the performance venue. There were also many patrol officers deployed by the law enforcement department around.
What was even more terrifying was that not only was Luo Jia missing, but all the staff members were also missing.
Although these people were not important, there were at least a hundred of them. How could it be possible that so many people disappeared without a trace
According to the reactions of the law enforcement officers outside, they all saw a strong white light flash above the performance hall.
It is obvious that the disappearance of Luo Ga and others is related to Bai Guang.
The existing technological power cannot easily allow a group of people to transfer space. Therefore, it can only be the power of strange objects.
Such a strange object would definitely leave traces. However, the performance hall is too big, so it is not easy to check everything clearly.
Xu Shan had a bad feeling because the space fortress had just fired a main gun at the Yunmu Mountains.
This incident caused the upper echelons of Pegasus to explode, but the cause of the incident and the loss were still unclear.
Pegasus is now conducting public opinion control and strictly prohibiting the spread of this news on the Internet.
The powerful optical computer blocks all relevant information.
In front of the optical computer, people's cleverness is meaningless. Any obscure expression will be prohibited.
The main gun was bombarding a remote and uninhabited mountainous area. Even though many people saw the strong light of the main gun cutting through the night sky, they didn't know what happened.
Most people don't care about what's happening outside. This matter is also controlled within a small scope.
Mu Guofeng, the supreme commander of the space fortress, also informed all parties, saying that he had full control of the situation and no one needed to worry.
He also promised that he would investigate the whole matter and give an explanation to all parties.
With Xu Shan's rank, he was not qualified to know this information. It was only because the incident happened in Mingjing City that he, as the deputy director of the response department, had the opportunity to know the relevant situation.
Xu Shan had a hunch that the main artillery bombardment of the Yunmu Mountains was probably related to Luo Jia's disappearance.
Because the two happened one after the other, their time connection is too close.
Tao Guang obviously thought of this, so his face looked particularly ugly.
The main gun of the Space Fortress was fired randomly, which was an extremely bad thing. Because the Space Fortress was out of control, Pegasus might be destroyed by it.
However, this matter was not his responsibility. Moreover, the supreme commander of the Space Fortress, Mu Guofeng, was very powerful, and the parties had no way to deal with him. Now they could only wait for him to give an explanation.
Public opinion was blocked and the public knew nothing about it. As a result, there would be no movement on this matter.
However, Luo Jia is a superstar at the star level, and her disappearance cannot be covered up.
The Law Enforcement Department must bear the blame for what happened to Luo Jia at the performance hall. And, they can't get rid of this blame anyway.
As a minister, Tao Guang will surely be in trouble. Thinking of this, he became more and more annoyed.
He said to Xu Shan, "Deputy Minister Xu, let's go to Yunmu Mountain together?"
"Okay." Xu Shan was also very curious about the situation in Yunmu Mountain and readily accepted the invitation.
The two of them boarded the flying ship. They were the only two people in the cabin, while the other guards and attendants went to the rear cabin.
"Deputy Minister Xu, who do you think did this?"
Tao Guang said sincerely: "Let's just chat casually."
Xu Shan smiled bitterly. Tao Guang must be under tremendous pressure and actually wanted to chat with a stranger like him.
But, this kind of thing can't be discussed casually.
Xu Shan was silent for a moment and said, "There is no evidence now, so I can't make any guesses."
Tao Guang was very dissatisfied with this answer. He felt that Xu Shan was a local family in Mingjing City. Even if he did not have accurate information, he at least knew some rumors.
Xu Shan understood what Tao Guang meant. He was trying to find out in disguise whether Blood Shadow was the one who did it.
Unfortunately, Tao Guang didn't understand at all that although the relationship between the Xu family and the Wei family was close, it was not that close.
Moreover, the Xu family was also divided into many factions. Xu Shan was very unhappy with Wei Yue. Wei Yue knew this very well. The relationship between the two was basically polite.
Even if it was really done by Xueying, Wei Yue might not know about it. Even if Wei Yue knew about it, he would never tell anyone else, let alone him.
Xu Shan could only shake his head.
Tao Guang's face became even gloomier; he had already foreseen his tragic ending.
Unless, unless he can catch the mastermind or rescue Luo Ga!
The flying ship came above the river beach, and the strong light released by several drones made the scene as bright as day.
Looking down from the flying ship, you can clearly see the bottomless pit below.
Tao Guang and Xu Shan both felt their scalps tingling; the main gun of the space fortress was too powerful.
With such terrifying plasma temperatures, people would be turned into ashes. I'm afraid there wouldn't even be any trace of DNA left.
Moreover, in such a huge pit, the workload of finding remaining human fragments would be extremely enormous.
Tao Guang and Xu Shan both had experience working at the grassroots level, and they knew that if things like this were delayed for too long, the grassroots staff would inevitably become slack.
Even if there are any traces, they may not be discovered.
The two men got off the flying ship. Combat Chief Zhang He was standing next to the deep pit with his hands behind his back. He looked at the deep pit thoughtfully, and his expression seemed calm.
Tao Guang sneered in his heart, of course Zhang He could be calm.
If there was a problem with the space fortress, it had nothing to do with Zhang He.
The combat department is responsible for external combat and has a strong armed force in its hands. But in this peaceful situation, the combat department is the most idle.
Zhang He's busiest time is the annual autumn military exercises. Apart from that, he spends the rest of his time playing mahjong and drinking.
Among the high-ranking officials in the Ming capital, Zhang He has always been the most idle.
Just like this time, Zhang He was only here to check the scene. He only needed to report the situation to his superiors truthfully. Other matters had nothing to do with him.
Tao Guang originally looked down on Zhang He. He felt that this guy held great power and could do a lot of things, but he was just too lazy and incompetent.
Now, Tao Guang is a little envious of Zhang He.
Zhang He noticed Tao Guang and Xu Shan coming, he turned around and nodded as a greeting.
"The main gun of the Space Fortress. I've known this thing is powerful since I was a kid, but this is the first time I've seen the power of the main gun."
Zhang He said with emotion: "This shot penetrated 30 kilometers underground. Wow, it's really terrifying."
Tao Guang and Xu Shan looked down. With their level of cultivation, they felt a little dizzy looking at the bottomless pit.
With their level of skills, if they jumped down, they would probably die.
Tao Guang asked in a low voice: "Minister Zhang, any news?"
Zhang He smiled at Tao Guang. He had a rough appearance, his straight uniform was unbuttoned, and he had a big belly. He looked a little sloppy and lazy.
This smile, however, is somewhat meaningful.
Tao Guang was also a little embarrassed. He had looked down on Minister Zhang before. Now he asked anxiously, making Zhang He laugh at him.
"I heard that the space fortress was hacked. There was also an insider, so the main gun was activated."
Although Zhang He didn't like Tao Guang's arrogance, he didn't need to argue with Zhang He about such a big thing. He told him the news.
"Hackers are invading, and there is an insider to help?"
Tao Guang found it a little bit unbelievable that the main gun of the space fortress was activated so easily. It was too much of a joke.
Of course, this bombardment did not have much impact on Yunmu Mountain. But what if it bombarded Mingjing City or Zhongjing City
Aren’t these big guys on the ground afraid that they will be killed by the main cannon on the space fortress one day
Tao Guang felt that the water was too complicated here, so he didn't want to ask any more questions.
Xu Shan and Zhang He had a pretty good relationship, so he asked curiously, "Why did they fire? Who was their target?"
Zhang He shook his head: "I don't know about that. However, the wreckage of a Flying Shark V combat aircraft was found at the scene. Because it was hit head-on by the main gun, the 60-ton aircraft carrier now has only a few kilograms of metal residue left."
Tao Guang and Xu Shan were both a little stunned. Old Zhang was really good at recognizing the model of a warship from just a few kilograms of wreckage.
"This flying ship does not belong to the Mingjing battle sequence."
Zhang He said: "However, a flying ship of this level must belong to the combat department. It is easy to find detailed information."
Tao Guang was delighted. That’s right. As long as he knew the situation of the warship, he could follow the lead and find more clues.
But this matter is not that easy. The combat department belongs to a separate system, and it is difficult for the law enforcement department to investigate.
Tao Guang's heart sank again when he thought that Luo Jia might be dead. No matter what the result of the investigation was, his future was over.
For ordinary people, a night passes in the blink of an eye.
The next day, the sun rose in Mingjing City as usual.
There were long lines of traffic on the roads, and various public transportation vehicles were also full of people.
The morning rush hour in the city arrived as expected. For ordinary people, it was just another ordinary day in the Heisei era, nothing special about it.
At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, the official media of Mingjing City announced the news of Luo Jia's disappearance.
There was an uproar in Mingjing City, Dongzhou, and Pegasus.
As the news spread, the twelve star regions were in an uproar.
Everyone is asking: Where is Luo Jia? Who did it
All the high-ranking officials were anxiously waiting for answers: who fired the shot? Who was killed
