boom!
The golden chariot, adorned with stars, slowly descended from the sky and landed at the entrance of the military camp fortress.
At the main gate, a dozen or so figures dressed in military uniforms, led by Captain Chen Yuanhe, had been waiting for some time.
Commandant Chen Yuanhe greets the Shaojun!
Chen Yuanhe, dressed in a Qilin martial arts uniform, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Chen Qingyu.
We pay our respects to the Shaojun!
The many figures behind him also bowed in unison to Chen Qingyu.
Please rise, everyone.
Chen Qingyu raised his hand in greeting, his expression calm, and stepped down from the imperial carriage.
Chen Zhenghong followed behind him, looking at so many high-ranking military officials with some unease.
It seems the captain knew I was coming?
Chen Qingyu looked at Chen Yuanhe, smiled calmly, and casually asked a question.
Shaojun has misunderstood.
Chen Yuanhe's expression remained unchanged, and he solemnly said:
I do not possess the ability to foresee the future, so naturally I was unaware that the Shaojun would arrive at the camp of my Central Capital Stars Heavenly Army at this time.
only
He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice slightly:
A moment ago, Grand Commandant Chen Yuangu came to visit me, saying that the Shaojun would personally come to the military camp to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of his relatives.
It was only after his reminder that I was able to prepare in advance.
Is that so?
Chen Qingyu raised an eyebrow and said:
Where is the High Priest?
Chen Yuanhe said frankly:
He tried to interfere in the internal affairs of our army and wanted to launch a so-called joint investigation, so I drove him out.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but chuckle.
However, upon closer reflection, this situation is quite normal.
The three giants were never a monolithic entity; rather, they had their own interests, significant conflicts, and checks and balances on each other.
Since the captain already knew why I came, I won't waste any more words.
Chen Qingyu spoke slowly, his voice slightly raised:
The investigation into the disappearance of my cousin Chen Qingjie and his team must be reopened immediately.
In addition, I will personally review all the files related to this matter.
In peacetime, the unexplained disappearance of a small celestial army squad is no small matter and cannot be dealt with lightly.
yes.
Chen Yuanhe lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice:
The last investigation ended without any results, so we can resume it today.
The relevant files have been sealed away and can be opened immediately for the Shaojun to review.
He paused for a moment, then said:
However, there are some things I must remind you of, Shaojun.
Although I didn't directly intervene in this disappearance case, I had been keeping an eye on it, but I couldn't find any clues. That's why I had to withdraw my personnel to avoid wasting manpower, and it wasn't a perfunctory effort.
Therefore, if we still cannot find any clues this time, I hope that Shaojun will not blame your comrades in the army.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu remained noncommittal and said calmly:
Let's check it out first.
yes.
Chen Yuanhe and extended his hand, saying:
Shaojun, please.
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly, turned to look at Chen Zhenghong behind him, and said:
Uncle, let's go in together.
Oh, okay, okay.
Chen Zhenghong quickly responded.
Seeing this, the many high-ranking military officers behind Chen Yuanhe all turned to look at him, their expressions varied.
A moment later:
As the group entered the military camp, Chen Yuanhe ordered all the files to be brought to Chen Qingyu and Chen Zhenghong for review.
But after searching for a while, the two couldn't find any clues. Meow Meow said...
The Stars Heavenly Army investigated the missing person's colleagues, relatives, enemies, even those with whom they had arguments, and potential rivals, but found no suspicious points.
at last
Accompanied by Chen Yuanhe, Chen Qingyu and Chen Zhenghong boarded the imperial carriage again and personally went to the site of the incident outside Central Capital to investigate.
After searching around, they still found nothing.
this
Chen Zhenghong's face was pale, and he said blankly:
how so?!
He always believed that there was more to the story than met the eye in his eldest son's disappearance.
Perhaps he was involved in some kind of military infighting, or offended a powerful figure and was silenced or imprisoned.
But now:
He reviewed the classified files and compared them himself before he had no choice but to accept the fact.
His son, Chen Qingjie, truly disappeared mysteriously. There was no murder involved, nor any internal strife; he simply vanished into thin air.
It's like a perfectly healthy, living person suddenly turning into air.
this
He trembled all over, his hope quietly shattered, and he felt immense pain.
Qingyu.
He turned his head, a pleading look in his eyes, and looked at Chen Qingyu:
Have you found any clues?
Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
No.
He tried various methods, including using the [ Seeing Through Walls ] technique, but found no clues whatsoever.
This, this
Chen Zhenghong was pale and felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
Even Chen Shaojun, on whom he had placed high hopes, could not find any clues.
Wouldn't his son just disappear without a trace?
Uncle, don't worry.
Chen Qingyu patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:
I have another way to find out where Qingjie is.
Before he went to the military camp, he had already judged in his heart that this trip would likely be fruitless.
After all, half a month has passed. Even if there was something fishy going on, all traces would have been wiped clean long ago. Unless time could be reversed, nothing could be found out.
The reason he was able to remain calm and accompany Chen Zhenghong on this trip was naturally because he had other methods.
real?
Chen Zhenghong's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had grasped at the last straw, and he asked urgently:
What method?
Chen Qingyu's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:
The Bloodline Tracing Technique!
this!
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhenghong's expression suddenly changed:
This is evil magic and sorcery! It is strictly forbidden!
The Bloodline Tracing Technique is not inherently an evil method.
The problem is that this kind of method is usually associated with bloodline spells and vicious methods of killing from a distance, making it difficult to guard against.
Especially for long-established families, their bloodlines often extend very far, not just to the same clan.
Historically, there have been horrific crimes committed using such methods, resulting in the deaths of over 10 billion people in a single curse, causing widespread fear and terror Desolate Continent.
From that time on:
The method of tracing bloodlines, along with other methods, was listed as a forbidden art, and practitioners of it would be executed.
It's alright.
Chen Qingyu waved his hand and said:
The method is within me; if used correctly, it will be correct.
Furthermore, the Bloodline Tracing Technique is not considered a truly evil art.
He paused for a moment, then looked at Chen Zhenghong and said:
Uncle, it's almost impossible to find my cousin Qingjie's whereabouts using normal methods.
For now, we have no choice but to try this last resort.
