Chapter 310 Strategy
Cheng Xinghai's eyes gradually became colder.
She pulled Chen Ming's wrist and walked towards a direction in the school.
"Where are you going?"
"The detention room. I saw on the forum that Xinghe seemed to be taken to the detention room by the teacher. I want to find him to confirm what happened."
"..."
Cheng Xinghai wanted to see Cheng Xinghe in a hurry.
But Chen Ming felt that finding Cheng Xinghe was not the first priority. The first priority should be to find the person Cheng Xinghe beat.
Because Chen Ming always believed that based on his performance when he communicated with Cheng Xinghe in the simulation last time, he would not beat someone to that extent directly because of the current rumors on the forum. This rumor is just a rumor and it is nothing.
On the contrary, why was Liao Hongsheng's injury so serious? Is it really that serious? These two questions are the key.
However, Cheng Xinghe should also be able to get some clues to find people, so it's okay to go there.
Chen Ming followed Cheng Xinghai.
The location of the confinement room is also in the corner of the school, and it is also one of the school's backup guard rooms.
According to Cheng Xinghai's explanation.
The backup guard room here is usually not open to the public, and is basically used as a confinement room. If there is anything inside the school, they will generally go to a fully functional police station near the main entrance of the school.
However, it also has almost all the functions of a normal police station except for external reception.
This surprised Chen Ming a little.
Of course, the surprise is not the function of this guard room, but that there is a police station here.
He is now at the headquarters of the 14th Corps, and there is such a place.
But if you think about it carefully, there is no problem.
After all, the headquarters is not a military base, but a complete comprehensive colony.
The powers of the army and the powers of the local administrative department should be appropriately separated.
In fact, before coming, Chen Ming wanted to confirm whether Cheng Xinghe would not be here.
After all, there was news on the forum that the person beaten by Cheng Xinghe had a broken skull and could die at any time.
This means that the situation has escalated from physical conflict to bloody conflict, and Cheng Xinghe may no longer be in the confinement room.
But since Cheng Xinghai said that this guard room has all the functions it should have, it must also have interrogation rooms and the like.
Cheng Xinghe may still be here.
So Chen Ming didn't say much.
Soon.
Cheng Xinghai took Chen Ming to the destination.
It was called a guard room, but Chen Ming saw a two-story building from a distance.
It was obvious that there was more than one room here, and it was not a "room" at all, but at least a police station.
At this time, in the hall of the guard room, there was a young-looking person who should be a student sitting on duty.
When Chen Ming pushed the door in, he looked up.
But he only saw Chen Ming, not Cheng Xinghai who was blocked by Chen Ming.
So he lowered his head again, waved to Chen Ming and said, "This place is not open to the public, please go out."
"I'll find someone."
"Who?"
"Cheng Xinghe."
The expression of the student who was lowering his head changed slightly. He immediately raised his head and saw Cheng Xinghai who followed Chen Ming in. His expression changed more obviously for a while.
Chen Ming came to him in a few steps and asked the person sitting behind the front desk condescendingly, "Is he here?"
"He can't see anyone during his confinement."
"Is he still in confinement?"
The student sitting on duty hummed twice in an ambiguous voice, and it was not known whether it was an answer to Chen Ming's question.
"Even family members can't meet?"
"This... In principle, it's not possible. Please understand."
Chen Ming glanced at the depths of the guard room.
He was eager to use his psychic power.
But the psychic fluctuation that had locked him long ago was still locking him. When he was building the shuttle just now, the psychic fluctuation was briefly active.
Although it was okay at the time, he is now in school and in the school's guard room. Once he uses his psychic power, he will definitely be noticed by the psychic.
It is not easy for him to use psychic power to probe in directly.
Chen Ming could only turn back to Cheng Xinghai and ask, "Will his belongings be confiscated when he is in solitary confinement?"
"Yes."
After receiving a positive answer, Chen Ming turned to the student again and asked, "What about his things?"
The student looked embarrassed: "This..."
"?"
"Solitary confinement is solitary confinement, but the belongings of the people in solitary confinement are not well preserved? Is this considered dereliction of duty?"
Faced with Chen Ming's questioning, the student's lips moved and he could not say a word.
Chen Ming also wanted to see if Cheng Xinghe would leave any records on the terminal, but it seemed hopeless.
"Where is the person on duty here? You can't let a student like you stay in the guard room all the time, right?"
The student's voice became softer and softer: "The teachers just went in... Let me stay here for a while..."
Has the interrogation already begun? Isn't that right?
Chen Ming is now standing in the hall of the guard room. The psychic's perception ability allows him to clearly hear the sounds of the entire building.
Although he can't hear the breathing, if someone is talking, he will definitely hear it.
Chen Ming feels more and more that something is wrong.
Cheng Xinghe has just been locked up for less than two hours, and the only student who seems to know nothing is left in the lockup room, watching the door? This is unreasonable.
Chen Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense with this student, so he simply took something out of his pocket and slapped it on the table.
"This, can I see someone?"
The thing Chen Ming slapped on the table was a military rank badge, at the level of a major colonel.
It's not a colonel because although Bai Quan had previously helped Chen Ming get an identity, he was an external tactical instructor, equivalent to a colonel.
But after Chen Ming officially joined, he was promoted to the rank of colonel for his important contributions in scientific research twice in less than a month.
This is the highest military rank he can get at present.
The next level is the general level. It is impossible to be promoted to the general level without staying in the 14th Corps for a few years.
But the rank of colonel is enough for a student.
If it was a teacher or some other old-timer sitting here, Chen Ming would definitely not use his military rank badge to pressure others with his status, because it would not work. Rules are rules. Chen Ming has to abide by the rules even if he is a general. He can't see people.
But the person sitting in front of him is just an ordinary student.
And obviously the student in front of him knows the headquarters of the 14th Corps. No one dares to forge such things. He is sure that what Chen Ming is taking out now is the real thing. Chen Ming has seen his calves shaking.
Chen Ming is a person who has survived a lot of battlefields. Even if it is a prosthesis, the pressure he brings to students who are still in school when he is serious is also huge.
The student's forehead was sweating. After repeatedly confirming what Chen Ming had put on the table, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"I'll take you in."
He stood up and walked out of the front desk with a bunch of keys, and took Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai to the back.
However, when the three of them came to the confinement room, it was empty. Cheng Xinghe was not there.
"What's going on?"
The student who pushed open the door of the confinement room at the front said in great panic: "I... I don't know, maybe... maybe the person was taken away by the police just now."
"A teacher told me not to let anyone come to the back and to drive everyone away, especially those who want to see Cheng Xinghe."
"The teacher said that they were all reporters and asked me not to let them in."
"But I heard a lot of noise here later."
The student's tone began to become unconfident.
He actually let it slip. He must have seen the police take the person away with his own eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have said that he was taken away by the police right away.
But Chen Ming was too lazy to argue with him about this matter at this time, and asked: "Which police station?"
The student hurriedly replied: "I really don't know. I have been in the front and don't know what happened in the back. I just guessed. You think that person was beaten like that, so he must be sent to the police station."
"Then why was he sent to the detention room at the beginning?"
"If there is a fight, he must be sent here. That's the rule."
"Why not send him directly to the police station? Why didn't you see that the injury was so serious at the beginning? Instead, he was sent here first and then to the police station?"
"Uh... this... I don't know..."
Chen Ming didn't ask the question that he couldn't answer for a second time, and continued with the next question: "Who saw "He did not see it." "There was no one else, all of them heard that Cheng Xinghe was standing there, the other was lying there, and then someone called the police." I heard a noisy sound in the back of more than an hour, and then the teacher came out to make things with me. He went to the place where he went, and should be taken away at that time. The guard room can see that there are database backups here, but there must be a school administrator permissions to be transferred. I do n’t have this permissions and I ca n’t show you. "He heard that Chen Ming wanted to use Lingneng subconsciously, but he immediately remembered that the spiritual fluctuation of his spiritual fluctuations.
There are really restrictions in the army headquarters.
Normally, I can handle things directly by adjusting my psychic power, but I have to do it step by step in the normal way. It's really troublesome.
But there is no other way.
On the territory of the army, I have to follow the rules of the army.
Anyway, it seems that someone in the school has made a set of silky little combos and sent Cheng Xinghe, who could have been released in a few hours of confinement, to the police station, as if they were going to put a case on him.
The specific police station can only be found one by one.
Without the assistance of psychic power, things can only be done through formal means.
But fortunately, Chen Ming has another choice.
He took out the terminal directly and called Bai Quan.
Cheng Xinghai immediately came to Chen Ming's side and whispered: "In addition to contacting Uncle Bai, I feel that I have to find the police station where Xinghe is imprisoned, and the hospital where Liao Hongsheng lives. Find them before I can do the following things."
"Yeah."
Chen Ming responded and waited for the call to be connected.
However, a minute later, a busy tone sounded on his terminal.
Bai Quan couldn't be reached, and it was unknown whether he was in class or busy with other things.
The result was the same when he called again.
Cheng Xinghai also made a call with his own terminal, but he couldn't get through either.
She suddenly asked Chen Ming with some concern: "Could this be... related?"
"I don't think so. Even if someone wants to make trouble, it can't affect Bai Quan now. It should be that he has something wrong."
Although Chen Ming said it should be, his tone was very certain.
Cheng Xinghai chose to believe him.
At this time.
In a teaching building in the teaching park of the military base.
Bai Quan, who was learning tactics against the mechanical race from a retired old general specially found by the legion, suddenly vibrated on his body.
Bai Quan's face changed, and he immediately took out the terminal given by Chen Ming.
He set the ordinary terminal to mute during class. After all, the old general who taught him a private lesson had to maintain some necessary respect.
Moreover, because the old admiral was not in good health, the time he could teach was not fixed every day. Bai Quan had mentioned this to Chen Ming before.
So if Chen Ming could not contact him at ordinary times, he would usually choose to call him at another time.
Since Chen Ming chose to contact him with a special terminal, something must have happened.
Bai Quan opened the terminal and looked down to see a series of things that had just happened written by Chen Ming on the notepad of this terminal.
His expression was quite serious at first, but soon calmed down.
He didn't know the news.
But other people in the headquarters couldn't have been unaware of it.
Even if he was in class now, there were many people who had many ways to pass the news to him.
The only one who could prevent the news from flowing to him was his old boss.
In other words, the faction behind him must have started to take action, and he didn't need to worry too much.
So he directly gave Chen Ming a contact method and asked Chen Ming to contact the people in their faction. It was also time for Chen Ming to contact other people in his faction in the headquarters.
In the message Chen Ming sent to him, he complained that he was restricted everywhere in the headquarters, but at the same time, there would certainly be other more convenient places.
For example, what he was going to give to Chen Ming now, the connections.
At this time, Chen Ming had already walked out of the guard room with Cheng Xinghai and was heading to the parking lot.
Chen Ming got Bai Quan's reply on the current situation, and he had a rough idea in his mind.
This matter would definitely not develop in the worst direction, he just had to do what he should do.
He then glanced at Cheng Xinghai who was thinking about something: "What do you think?"
Cheng Xinghai shook his head slightly and said: "I'm not sure, I feel there are many places to start, but I'm not sure which one is the most suitable to start, so I want to ask what you think?"
Cheng Xinghai didn't necessarily say that he would solve this problem by himself.
This is good. Do what you are capable of doing by yourself, and notify capable people to do things you are not capable of doing as soon as possible.
This is the most appropriate approach.
As for the question about Cheng Xinghai, Chen Ming answered quickly: "My idea is very simple, take Cheng Xinghe away from the police station, send the slanderer to prison, completely erase the rumors, and find out the mastermind behind the scenes."
At the same time.
In an online conference room of the 14th Corps headquarters network.
No. 2 asked No. 1: "Cheng Xinghe has been taken to the police station, what's next?"
"Didn't I say, don't do anything."
"Ah?"
"Think about what our purpose is?"
Without waiting for No. 2 to answer, No. 1 said, "It is based on the conflict between Cheng Xinghe and Chen Ming, and it is to provoke the relationship between Cheng Xinghe and Chen Ming, take the opportunity to let the conflict between Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghe erupt, and rely on the relationship between Cheng Xinghe and Cheng Xinghai to destroy the marriage."
"Simple provocation is just the beginning. Cheng Xinghe was raised by Baiquan anyway, and his brain is not too bad. It is impossible for him to get so excited as to have a conflict with Chen Ming because of the provocation. He knows who is the troublemaker."
"It's us."
"So how can we find a way to create a conflict?"
Although this is No. 1's question, he didn't rush to continue, but waited for someone to make some suggestions.
No. 9 asked, "Really convict Cheng Xinghe?"
No. 1 responded, "It's true that it can be convicted, but it doesn't make much sense. If there is no real death, there is absolutely no way to convict someone. The people on Baiquan's side are not fools who can't see what we are doing."
"But if there is a real death, the supervision department will come down."
No. 9 spread his hands and didn't say anything more.
Others also proposed some ideas, but they were all refuted by No. 1.
After confirming that no one had new ideas, he said: "All direct means are unlikely to really have enough effect, so we have to use some indirect means."
"We need to instill in Cheng Xinghe the feeling that he encountered what he encountered because of Chen Ming."
"How to instill it?"
"Just like I said just now, don't do anything."
"Ignore Cheng Xinghe the whole time, just leave him there, he is nothing, he is just a tool to target Chen Ming."
"Disdain him, ignore him, make him feel that he is not respected, not valued, and even not regarded as a real person."
"Let him know that we are not targeting him, we Everything he did was aimed at Chen Ming. "
"Only in this way can Cheng Xinghe feel annoyed with Chen Ming even though he knows that we are the ones doing the work."
"We have to give him a feeling that he did nothing and did nothing wrong. All the mistakes are because of Chen Ming's existence."
"Of course, it's not like we really do nothing. Remember to send two people to talk to him occasionally to talk more about Chen Ming, as long as you don't talk about Cheng Xinghe himself."
"Also, remember to delay for a while. Young people always want to write something when they are free. Let him be free for a while. After a long time, he will think enough."
Just after a brief discussion in the online conference room.
Cheng Xinghe was still locked up in the interrogation room of the police station.
He had been locked up for a while.
However, no one came to find him.
It was as if everyone had ignored him.
Except for occasionally hearing people outside talking about Chen Ming, he could not hear anything.
The anxiety in his heart was gradually growing.
At the same time.
Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai had boarded the shuttle.
After the shuttle set sail, Cheng Xinghai had already had a rough idea. She said to Chen Ming: "It shouldn't be difficult to get Xinghe out of the police station."
"Then if the situation is true, then there is no need to send the slanderer to prison. He is almost dead, so there is no need to send him to prison. If the situation is not true, that's another matter."
"Those rumors..."
Cheng Xinghai's face flushed.
"It's also easy to solve."
"The key is to find the person behind the scenes."
"I know which faction Liao Hongsheng belongs to, but I don't think it's necessarily someone from his faction who did it. No one should involve their faction so openly. We have to start with the people around him."
Cheng Xinghai's idea is similar to what Chen Ming just thought.
After she finished speaking, Chen Ming immediately handed over his terminal: "This is Liao Hongsheng's information."
Cheng Xinghai saw the content on the terminal, but she did not take the terminal immediately. Instead, she blinked uncertainly and asked with a hint of confusion: "Where did this come from?"
"Someone in the faction gave it to me."
"Which faction?"
"Our faction."
Cheng Xinghai suddenly fell silent.
Chen Ming sensed something from Cheng Xinghai's silence and asked: "Didn't you think of contacting people in the faction just now?"
"Those uncles and aunts basically treat me as a child... Even if I have been on the battlefield... It's the same."
There was a trace of sadness and loneliness in Cheng Xinghai's eyes that was not taken seriously.
Chen Ming put down the terminal, stretched out his hand and pressed on her clenched fist on her knees and said: "But I won't."
Cheng Xinghai pursed her lips, and the lost expression gradually disappeared.
"Yeah."
She grabbed Chen Ming's hand, picked up the terminal at the same time, and studied the information on it.
Chen Ming reminded from the side: "We still don't know whether Liao Hongsheng is dead or not, so let's just assume he is really dead first."
"But we can now be sure that Xinghe could not have beaten someone to death, because he was in the confinement room before, which means that Liao Hongsheng's condition was definitely not that serious at the time. It must have been after Xinghe was taken to the confinement room that something went wrong."
"The teacher who sent him away, the doctor in the infirmary, and the doctor in the hospital can all go and check."
"We need to find out what caused him to become like that."
"If we figure this out, we can figure out all the situations."
"But it will take a bit of time with so many people."
"So we should go find Cheng Xinghe first, his location has been determined."
