I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 106 - Investigation Wanted Warrant


Inside the morgue, Chen Guofeng, Shi Lei, and Lin Xiaoyue stood beside Zhao Nuo's body, examining his injuries."It looks like his heart meridian was shattered by a single punch."Chen Guofeng covered Zhao Nuo's body with a white sheet and said slowly:"In the 137 Camp, only Qin Tian possesses the strength to kill Zhao Nuo with one punch."On the way here, they reviewed Qin Tian's file.Top secret, indeed. Even with orders from higher-ups, they still couldn't access Qin Tian's file.This is the status of the Seventh Bureau within the Special Operations Management Office. The department is directly managed by Marshal Lin, and no one has the right to access the files of Seventh Bureau personnel without authorization.However, they learned that Qin Tian had studied at Xiongying Military Academy for several months before being recently transferred to the 137 Camp to serve as the acting battalion commander.After contacting Xiongying Military Academy, they learned more about Qin Tian's deeds.For example, he once single-handedly annihilated a Xingdao (Star Pirates) group led by a fifth-tier Vampire Viscount. His Psionic energy level wasn't considered strong,but his combat power was astonishing."Why did he kill Zhao Nuo?"Lin Xiaoyue asked doubtfully, "He's the Battalion Commander, and his strength is greater than Zhao Nuo's. It wouldn't be too difficult for him to seize power, so why would he go to such extremes?""Maybe it's because of his personality."Shi Lei said gruffly, "Some people are easily impulsive. I guess he's that kind of person.""Regardless, Qin Tian is currently the prime suspect."Chen Guofeng said, "The Commander has given the order. We must apprehend Qin Tian and bring him to justice this time. He's to be used as a model case and reported throughout the entire army. The Commander also specifically emphasized that he must be captured alive.""Sigh, why bother? Is it worth killing someone and going on the run for that little bit of power?"Lin Xiaoyue sighed, seemingly feeling a hint of pity for Qin Tian. He originally had a bright future, but now, because of a moment's impulse, everything was gone."Boss, I just asked. Qin Tian's communicator is off, so we can't pinpoint his location," Shi Lei said.Chen Guofeng nodded, not disappointed. Anyone with a bit of common sense knows to turn off communication devices when on the run."Xiaoyue, let's get to work," Chen Guofeng said."Okay!"Lin Xiaoyue nodded, walked out of the morgue, and said to Tu Changsong at the door:"Go find me some of Qin Tian's personal belongings: towels, blankets, unwashed clothes, anything will do.""Okay, I'll go right away."Tu Changsong personally ran to the dormitory building and arrived in front of Qin Tian's room.At this moment, the door was locked. Without a word, Tu Changsong kicked it open.However, when he saw the situation inside, he was instantly stunned.He saw that the room was empty. The mattress, blanket, pillow, toothbrush, towel—all items were gone, leaving only a bare bed frame and a few empty cabinets.Tu Changsong immediately reported this situation to Chen Guofeng and the other two.After hearing this, the three looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt."Did he know I was coming?"Lin Xiaoyue's delicate brows furrowed, "Could it be that someone tipped him off?""Impossible."Chen Guofeng asserted, "This order was directly issued to me personally by the higher-ups. It didn't pass through anyone else, so there's no way it was leaked.""So, these were all preparations he made just in case."Lin Xiaoyue's tone was surprised, "He could think of all this while fleeing after committing a crime? This guy is too cautious."Chen Guofeng's brows furrowed slightly. Qin Tian's move had clearly caught him off guard.Lin Xiaoyue is a bloodline martial artist with extremely sensitive olfactory senses, capable of tracking targets by scent.Relying on this ability, Lin Xiaoyue had achieved numerous outstanding accomplishments over the years and was often assigned to pursue important military criminals.This time, the higher-ups still sent him out with Shi Lei and Lin Xiaoyue, but he didn't expect to stumble right from the start."Boss, what should we do?" Lin Xiaoyue looked at Chen Guofeng."Let's check the surveillance first."Chen Guofeng called Tu Changsong over and requested to view the surveillance footage. Tu Changsong immediately agreed and led the three to the monitoring room."Look, this is Qin Tian."Tu Changsong pointed at the figure flashing on the screen and said through gritted teeth, "He ran away after injuring me.""The fog is very thick, it's hard to see his face clearly."Lin Xiaoyue zoomed in, but there seemed to be a layer of white veil on the screen, constantly obstructing the view."Commanders, this is what's special about our Mist Town. Every year around this time, heavy fog occurs, enveloping the entire town," Tu Changsong explained."Xiaoyue, can you see which way he ran?" Chen Guofeng asked.Lin Xiaoyue: "Once he left the military camp, we couldn't see him anymore, Boss. I think it's ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) better to apply for a wanted order first. Based on the current clues, it will probably be very difficult for just the three of us to find him."Chen Guofeng thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said:"Then this is the only way. Xiaoyue, go back to Qin Tian's room and see if there are any other clues."They had originally come with full confidence. Lin Xiaoyue would pinpoint the target, and he and Shi Lei would capture the target alive. They expected it to go smoothly, but the outcome caught them off guard.Lin Xiaoyue went to Qin Tian's room and slowly walked through every corner, seeing if she could detect a trace of scent.The room was unusually empty, with all small items gone."Strange, how did he take all his belongings with him?"Lin Xiaoyue's brows furrowed slightly. Blankets, bedding, towels, clothes, tea cups, and other personal items combined would fill at least three suitcases. Qin Tian was on the run after committing a crime, so how did he escape with all this luggage?"How is it? Any clues?"Chen Guofeng walked into the room and asked.Lin Xiaoyue shook her head, "It was handled too cleanly. Even if I did it, I couldn't do better than him. Boss, I don't think someone like him seems like the type to kill someone impulsively."Chen Guofeng's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Whether he did it or not is something to discuss later. Our mission is just to apprehend him and bring him to justice.""Alright, I really have no other way then, Boss. Let's apply for a wanted order," Lin Xiaoyue said helplessly.Chen Guofeng thought about it and could only reluctantly accept the suggestion.Soon, Chen Guofeng reported the investigation findings to his superiors and applied for a wanted order targeting Qin Tian.In the face of a major case, all procedures moved very quickly.Twenty minutes later, a fresh wanted order was officially issued and circulated within the Silver Gray Star military system. As it was a major scandal, it was temporarily not disclosed to the public.In the shadows of the 137 Camp warehouse, a dark figure flickered in and out of sight.That's right, Qin Tian didn't escape. He pulled a feint, deliberately letting the surveillance see him running away, then used Shadow Leap to get to the warehouse, and listened to the entire conversation between Chen Guofeng and the other two using his enhanced hearing.Although this was very dangerous, if discovered, he might not even be able to escape, but Qin Tian still decided to take the risk."Wanted order."Qin Tian's eyes were deep. Zhao Nuo's suicide, the arrival of the investigation team, the order to capture him alive—he became increasingly convinced that there was more to this matter than met the eye, and there must be an insider among the military higher-ups working for the person behind the scenes.He could no longer trust anyone.
