Following the orders of Liu Kai, deputy commander-in-chief of the Earth Guard, the Mercury Guard Agency continued to stand still after mastering the transaction method and other information of this batch of weapons. It did not increase the inspection level or anything like that. It just placed the weapons on the payment container. After boarding the concealed positioning device made with Eta technology, we began to wait.
In the vast space, a lonely cargo box slowly flew forward. Tens of millions of kilometers away from this container, a guard ship was quietly lurking.
So far, the guards in the guard ship have been waiting for eight days. But the person to pick up the goods has not yet appeared.
"Affected by the gravity of the sun, the speed of the cargo box has been accelerating towards the sun. It will hit the sun in five days. Don't worry, wait any longer, the person who picks up the cargo will definitely appear within five days!"
The director of the Mercury Guard Agency who was responsible for this matter was very calm at the moment and was not panicking at all.
But what he didn't expect was that until five days later, the cargo box really hit the sun and was swallowed up by the sun, and the person who picked up the cargo did not show up.
This can only mean one possibility.
There is a mole within one's own side. The person who picked up the goods already knew that he was lurking near the cargo box and knew that it was a bait, so he did not come to pick up the goods at all.
This speculation made his expression gradually grow heavier.
Returning to the Mercury Guard Headquarters, after a discussion, the follow-up plan was quickly confirmed.
The next decoy operation will adopt stricter confidentiality methods, and there will only be ten insiders in the Guard Hall.
Nine of these ten people hold high positions of authority, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets regardless of their interests, status, or identity. The other person is one of the suspects.
In this way, if the next operation is not leaked, then the next operation will involve another suspect.
If the secret of this operation was leaked, it could only be the suspect who leaked the secret.
Through this one-by-one investigation, the insiders will inevitably be found out.
However, before the next operation came, there was new information: the arms dealer hidden behind the scenes sent another container of arms.
Under the strict supervision of the Security Hall throughout the process, the smuggling gang took the box away and immediately sent it to the inspection room of the Security Hall.
After some inspection, the guards could not find any clues from the container. In desperation, I had to give up and put my hope in the follow-up actions.
Soon, another specially-made box was sent out.
Xue Ping, the director of the Security Department, was a little nervous and followed quietly in the guard boat, and then... he saw the container hit the sun again.
"Damn! So cunning!"
After cursing angrily, Xue Ping had no choice but to return to the headquarters.
In the office of the head of the Security Department, Xue Ping reported the incident in detail.
He originally thought that the supervisor would be angry because of this, and he was even prepared to be angry. But unexpectedly, he was greeted with silence.
The supervisor was silent for a long time and sighed quietly.
"Xue Ping, I have always valued you. You have not served for enough years, so I promoted you to the position of director despite all objections. Back then, you killed more than 100 civilians and pretended to be the rebels who were killed. I was the one who suppressed the incident. In the end, this is how you repaid me?"
Xue Ping's heart tightened, and he immediately stood up and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Director Zhou, it's my incompetence that betrayed your trust. But I can't help it, the arms dealer didn't show up at all!"
Manager Zhou's expression became more and more gloomy: "Are you still hiding it from me now? You've let me down so much!"
Xue Ping was startled and didn't understand what Director Zhou was talking about.
Manager Zhou suppressed his anger: "Tell me, who is that arms dealer? How much money did you pay to inform them?"
Xue Ping was startled again, and then shouted: "Director Zhou, you are wronged, how could I possibly tip off others? I am loyal to you!"
boom!
Director Zhou slapped the table: "Other than me, a few deputy directors, and the senior management, only you know about this operation. You didn't leak the secret, could it be that we leaked the secret? Xue Ping! What happened now Do you still want to quibble? You are so brave. You dare to do something that Captain Liu personally pays attention to!"
Xue Ping felt his head was in chaos and just shouted: "It's unfair, it's unfair!"
"Stop! Catch him!"
Manager Zhou gave an order, and the door to the lounge next to him opened immediately. A group of guards rushed out and controlled Xue Ping with three clicks.
Xue Ping's chaotic head finally sobered up a little: "Director Zhou! You can't do this! I have made contributions to the Guard! I have shed blood for Commander Liu! I want to see Commander Liu, and I want to make a phone call!"
"Take him away! Put a torture device on him and pry open his mouth!"
Manager Zhou waved his hand in disgust.
Three days later.
"Has Xue Ping been recruited?"
The guard responsible for interrogating Xue Ping showed a rare hint of admiration on his sinister face: "Xue Ping fainted three times and peed his pants six times. He was already a little confused, but he still yelled something, 'I didn't leak the secret, I did.' Not a traitor or anything like that, this is the first time in my life that I have seen a person with such a strong spirit..."
"He was brainwashed by the rebels!"
Director Zhou was a little angry: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a loyal rebel lurking in our security hall! Well, he is loyal, right? Give him veritaserum!"
One day later.
"Has Xue Ping recruited?"
This time, the guard had more than just admiration on his face, but even a little admiration: "He still insists that he is not a traitor..."
The peerless ruthless person who can bear the truth serum, even if the two sides have different positions, is enough to make me admire him!
At this moment, hearing that the Veritaserum had lost its effect, a hint of fear flashed across Director Zhou's face.
"What kind of brainwashing method can make a person so loyal..."
"Continue the trial!"
The guard responsible for interrogating Xue Ping returned to the interrogation room again. At this moment, Xue Ping, who had worn out the effects of the truth serum, was lying motionless on the ground. His eyes were lifeless, as if he had been beaten.
The cruel guard was also a little moved at this moment.
He sighed: "Captain Xue, just do it...Why bother if you are like this?"
Xue Ping's eyes moved and he murmured: "Kill me, kill me..."
The guard's expression gradually became serious. He bowed deeply to Xue Ping: "Although our positions are different, you are a true warrior. Even if you are punished today, I will give you the dignity a warrior deserves."
He drew out his dagger, stepped forward, and stabbed Xue Ping in the chest.
Xue Ping twitched twice and let out a gentle breath, his eyes filled with relief after relief.
