Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 144 - 49: Easygoing

The nurse shouted from behind: "Big brother, hey, hey, I’ve confessed everything I need to. When can I get out? How much of the sentence can be reduced? Answer me. Don’t go, damn it, you’re deceiving me. Even if it goes to court, I can change my testimony."

Her handcuffed hands frantically pounded the metal tabletop, but didn’t cause any damage; the nurse was going crazy. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The few big shots sitting in the observation room next door looked disgusted. This woman was both stupid and vicious. She had already been identified as an accomplice spy and still wanted to go to court. What a joke. The evidence was irrefutable; she could be sentenced directly.

Unfortunately, they startled the snake, and the insider wasn’t found, which was a bit troublesome.

The nurse was an unexpected find.

As for that rat, he had already been caught. He was a student, in the mechanical department, just like Su Xiaocai. He was purely there to gain experience with special permission from his teacher, working in logistics as an inspector for the students’ Mecha.

He was doing it purely out of interest, joining a group just like the nurse did.

The nurse joined a black market group.

He played at a higher level and joined a technical group.

The technical group had an honor reward system, and every month, the group leader would release a series of challenges. Those who accepted these challenges could earn a lot of money, gain peer praise, and even have their wishes come true upon completion.

This student met a techie in an internet cafe, and since then, he got pulled into the fold.

He only knew he had to attack a certain IP. When he couldn’t break through the "hard bone," he stopped. However, the Military Department was one step ahead, trapping him so he couldn’t escape, successfully arresting him.

Similar modus operandi in both cases.

The Military Department and the police were suspicious whether the same group of people was behind it.

"Reporting to the Vice Admiral, there’s one more thing. A few of our technicians discovered something strange. It seems an organization detected our tethering plan and escaped very quickly. Our snare missed them."

Admiral Bai asked, "What did they take?"

"They only took the Insect Man dissection data."

"They escaped so fast, didn’t erase their traces?" Admiral Bai turned around; the face of the middle-aged man was not greasy at all, and a nasolabial groove made him look fierce.

Standing before him, one could feel an imposing presence like a tidal wave.

The reporter didn’t dare lie, "The clues were left intentionally by the other party."

It seemed like a provocation but could also suggest no malice.

No malice still constitutes a crime.

Failing to catch anyone was their incompetence; they could only wait for the next time. This operation not only implemented online tracking but also took action in reality, capturing many suspects.

It’s heard that another disguised Insect Man appeared on Capital Star.

Fortunately, the operation was very secretive, and the news didn’t spread.

Admiral Bai asked, "Whose rooms have you searched in the base?"

A colonel reporting on this matter recited the list.

"Is Su Xiaocai on that list? Tell me what happened among them."

The colonel summarized the scene during the subordinates’ investigations and also mentioned Su Xiaocai’s daily performance at Base 022.

Above all, it doesn’t entirely exclude her from suspicion, but her actions didn’t warrant any suspicion either, everything fitting the profile of a genius girl.

Admiral Bai’s eyes were deep, Su Xiaocai was a mysterious figure, also receiving special treatment from the school.

Young people who cause the Dragon Head much thought are never simple.

"Find a way to probe what patent she is applying for."

"Reporting to the Vice Admiral, it’s already been investigated. The patent office said they couldn’t disclose it, but it’s confirmed Su Xiaocai is indeed applying for a patent but has chosen not to disclose the content temporarily. We contacted the people from Kite Law Firm, but couldn’t pry open their mouths." The people at the patent office are the most laid-back, with a patent process taking up to five years. Stable work, good pay, and no rush; it’s normal to be hard to break through.

The vice admiral’s gaze became more fierce, and the colonel went silent.

"The patent route won’t work. What about her roommates? And the school teachers? Wasn’t she following a doctor to do medical care? Understand through that doctor. Try to investigate her family background, what she’s studied; knowing indirectly can be more effective than addressing it head-on." A bunch of pig-headed people who couldn’t think flexibly did the work and yet couldn’t do it well.

They might as well have kept quiet from the start and reported after the job was completed.

The vice admiral waved him off, joining a video conference with other officers to report the matter to higher-ups.

In the operation to catch people, there was an additional espionage organization; how could these people not appreciate the hard-earned peace they have now?

...

Su Xiaocai’s task for today was still stationed at the base station. The game continued, and she noticed Fan Li was eager to try, too.
