Chapter 15 ward

Yige and Lu Di sat side by side on the small sofa outside the ward, waiting for Luo Ying's operation to end.The ward has been tidied up, clean and bright.The hospital bed is in the inner room, and the bedding has been spread.In order to let the patients sleep peacefully, the walls of the wards are painted milky white, the metal pillars are also painted soft light green, and the equipment is made into low cabinets, decorated with patterns on the outside, so as not to cause unnecessary tension to the patients. Iggy and Ludy didn't speak for a long time.Lu Di thanked Yige for helping Luo Ying when he fell to the ground, and Yige said it was nothing.After that, the two of them couldn't find anything to say.Yige looked at the blond boy who was a few years younger than himself, and could feel his anxiety and worry.Ludy sat silently, not making many nervous little movements, but Ig noticed that his hands were crossed and clenched tightly, the knuckles were blue and white from the squeeze.He is worried about his sister, and he has a sense of responsibility that is similar to that of an elder.Eagle himself was worried.When Luo Ying fell, he was the closest to her.He clearly saw her pointing to the ground but not supporting her body, her toes were bent on the ground.He knew in his heart that it should be a broken bone if nothing else happened.He just hoped that the injury wasn't serious, that he could recover after the surgery, and that it wouldn't affect her dancing gracefully in the future.

Time passed very slowly, and the ward was oppressive and dull. Suddenly, the door opened. Iggy and Ludy stood up at the same time.The door opened quickly.It wasn't Luo Ying or a doctor who came in, but two young officials in uniform.The one walking in front knew Lu Di, and greeted Lu Di with his eyes after entering. "Are you Mr. Eagle Road?" He asked Igg directly, his tone was polite, but his face was ice-cold. "Yes, I am." Yige nodded. "My name is Carson." The official introduced himself, "I am the first-level inspector of the inspection system, responsible for the safety and order of the Russell District."

Yige didn't speak, waiting for him to continue. "I have a few questions that I hope you can answer with your cooperation." He paused, looked at Ige and continued, "Why did you appear on the dance floor instead of the auditorium during tonight's performance?" Iger weighed his question in his mind, and answered cautiously: "I'm a photographer, and I hope to take close-up pictures." "Has your action been authorized?" "I agreed," Lu Di interjected, "I'm in charge of tonight's on-site scheduling." Carson glanced at him, ignored him, his face was still stern, and he continued to ask Ige, "Did you ever enter the dance floor at that time?"

"No, I've been on the sidelines." "Then how far is the closest distance between you and the dancer? Is it more than one meter away?" Yige frowned: "What does this mean? You doubt me..." "Yes. We suspect that you exerted some influence on Miss Luo Ying and caused the accident. " Carson candidly admitted his doubts, as assistants behind him took notes on electronic blotters.Yige took a deep breath, never expecting such a thing to happen.He denied it very firmly: "No, absolutely not. I was filming and I didn't run until I saw her fall."

Lu Di also tried to defend Iger: "He is indeed a cameraman. I let him in after checking his equipment. I think there may be a misunderstanding. He should have no reason to hinder the performance, let alone harm the little boy. profit." Carson stared at Iger, walked up to Ludy, and whispered something to him.Lu Di's face changed, he frowned, and looked at Ige suspiciously, as if he was looking at another person.He closed his mouth and said nothing more. Carson returned to Iger, cleared his throat and said, "I hope you can reconsider the question just now. Now I want to ask you another thing. Have you logged in to Miss Luoying and Jill Miss Palin's personal space?"

Hearing this question, Yige instinctively felt that things had become serious.He nodded and admitted: "... yes." "what are you going to do?" "Go and see their diary." "anything else?" "there is none left." "Where else have you been?" "..." "Why do you have an account for the database? As far as I know, all Earth representatives only have access to hotel services." "..." "Are you appointed by someone to steal technical information? Or do you have any intentions?" "..."

Carson's questions came one after another, like icicles thrown at the target.Eagle couldn't answer.He couldn't explain how he gained access to browse.He had promised Janet to keep it a secret.He could only respond in silence, looking for a way in his heart. Yige was nervous, but he hadn't lost his basic judgment.Things look dire.He not only visited Luo Ying's space, but also left a message to apologize to her, which shows that there was at least a conflict between them, which provides evidence for the suspicion against him.He just wanted to say a few comforting words about the teacher's question, but the words were vague, making people suspicious.As for the more serious accusation of espionage, he was more aware that he couldn't deny it. He had checked Jill's design parameters, and he had also visited the core symbol of the database, the Tower of Babel.His original intention was just curiosity, but the reason was too flimsy.No one could testify to him, and even if Janet explained for him, he could not escape the suspicion of a spy.His palms began to sweat.

Just then, the door opened again. This time it was a group of people who came in, headed by the chunky officer with a black red face whom we had seen at the dinner on the first day, followed by two other officials from Mars, and then Tyne and Colonel Hopman from Germany, walking at the end Beverly and Hans Sloan, Governor of Mars. When a group of people entered the room, the ward was immediately occupied, and the Mars and Earth officials automatically separated to the two sides. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was tense, like a summer day when cumulus clouds weigh down. "Mr. Eagle Road," Hans broke the deadlock and asked calmly, "I think you already know our question?"

Iggy nodded: "Yes. I know." "So can you offer some explanation for your actions?" "……cannot." "Who gave you access to the database?" "...I can't say." Hans paused for a moment, as if to give Igg a chance to revise his answer.He looked at Yige intently, his gaze was steady, not intimidating or persuasive, but on the contrary, with vague expectation.Iggy didn't speak. "So, can you explain your reasons for roaming the database?" "I... am curious about this space." "Why are you curious?" Before Yige could answer, the fat man with a black and red face standing beside him yelled loudly: "Stop messing with him as soon as possible! It's a waste of time. How can a spy tell the truth? I told you a long time ago, he is definitely here. Interfering with voting!"

"Juan," Hans stopped in a low voice, "don't worry yet." Iger asked in a daze, "What vote? I don't know." "Don't do this!" Juan shouted angrily, "Don't pretend to me. There is no one else here, so I will speak clearly. You guessed that our people would not agree to hand over fusion technology to you , so you want to sneak in and tamper with the vote? Right or wrong? You hypocrites!" "No, no, you misunderstood." Beverly waved his hands again and again, shrugging and smiling, "We absolutely didn't mean that. Mr. Eagle Road's behavior is his own private matter, and we don't know about it, let alone instructed him."

Iger could see that what Beverly didn't say was "he has nothing to do with us, if you want to deal with it, don't implicate us".However, at this moment, he has no time to pay attention to Beverly's excuse.He's thinking about other things.The words fusion technology hovered above his head, humming endlessly.He knew they were negotiating for this before, but now he smelled something different. Hans stopped Juan again: "Don't worry, all paths are recorded." As he spoke, he turned to look for Carson who came in first. Carson understood and immediately handed over the assistant's notebook.Hans looked down and handed it to Juan after reading it. His expression was still calm and calm.After reading it, Juan nodded a little unwillingly, his mustache curled up suspiciously. "Okay, I take back what I just said." He conceded verbally, but his gaze was still pressing every step of the way, "But even if you haven't been to the polling place, it doesn't mean you don't have intentions. I think it's better for you to confess earlier. I don’t want the situation to escalate, if you keep denying it, and we find something in the end, some disciplinary measures are not ruled out. Let me ask you, do you want to steal a certain technology?” "No," Iger said. "What technology can I ask for?" "You don't want it, someone wants it. If you can't negotiate, you want to steal it secretly, isn't that right?" "Please don't make random guesses." "You didn't send a message to Earth?" "No." "However, records show that you downloaded a large amount of data." "Those are all videos!" Ige was a little anxious, "You can check it! Can't you check everything? You can check all the data I downloaded. Those are movies, all mine Teacher Arthur Davorsky's movies. I'm telling the truth. Is it wrong to download your own teacher's movie?" He was a little irritable by the aggressive questioning, and he couldn't keep calm.He has a natural defense of his teacher's films, which are not political conspiracies, even though they were politically relevant from the start.He was full of ideas, words such as technology, negotiation, exchange, and fusion echoed in his head, mixed with conspiracy and political arguments that were about to explode in the air, and he immediately reflected that this was the flames of the confrontation between two planets.He suddenly realized the tension of confrontation contained in this.He recalled Luo Ying's words that day: This is not a question of business or not, it is a question of Mars and the earth.Only then did he understand Luo Ying's worry.He began to recall what he had done in the past 20 days, with many thoughts.Hans heard his words, thoughtfully, called Lu Di to him, and whispered a few words. Unmoved by his agitation, Juan walked around him coldly like a fat and vigilant hedgehog and said, "We will investigate, we will. Don't worry about that. Now is the next question, you You must answer truthfully. What are you doing at the Tower?" Yige said absent-mindedly, "Curiosity, just curiosity, as I said." "Do you know where the Tower is?" "Know a little." "A little bit? You are really humble. What is a little bit? People who know a little bit can go straight to it without any trouble? Do you dare to say that you haven't done enough research before? Who would believe it? You obviously knew it a long time ago. , It has been planned for a long time, under the instigation of others, to go there on purpose, just to destroy our core area! Is it? Is it right? " "Of course not. It's nonsense." "Then why did you go there?!" Juan's shout was like a thunderclap.Eagle's throat felt dry and his lips were numb. Juan approached like a ball of fire: "And you went there twice. The first time you said you were curious, so what about the second time? What's the explanation?" Yi Ge looked at Juan's gaze, not knowing how to explain it.He didn't tell anyone other than Janet and Luo Ying about the teacher, and it's not clear whether he should tell it now.His second visit was to fulfill the teacher's last wish.Janet helps him bury his teacher's memory, and only she can prove his innocence.But this is a secret activity, she has exceeded her authority, and his confession will bring unnecessary harshness to her.He couldn't help but think of Luo Ying's parents, and felt timid, so he could only keep silent.He looked at Hans, and Hans was looking at him.Hans did not stop Juan this time, and it could be seen that he was also very concerned about the answer to this question.Iggy was silent, and so were the others.The air in the ward seemed to be stagnant, and everyone looked at him suspiciously.Tyne folded his hands and remained silent.Beverly frowned, and stood next to Hans on the side of Mars.The menace in Juan's eyes was the only fire burning brightly in the house. Just then, the door opened again. All eyes turned to the door, only to see Luo Ying appear.She sits high on the shoulders of a doctor, wearing a pure white hospital gown, her face is pale, as still as still water, her back is straight and her neck is straight. Although she looks weak, from the moment she appears, there is a kind of The power of pure whiteness that cannot be ignored.She has a wire boot on her right foot, and her left foot is bare, sitting on the doctor's shoulder.The doctor was of medium build, with broad shoulders, and stood steadily, with his hands around her calves. "I let him go." Luo Ying said quietly, her voice was soft and calm. "Xiaoying..." Lu Di blurted out. "Yes, it's me." Luo Ying said, "I invited Mr. Yige to my space, and gave him the link to the tower." "why?" "No reason." "Xiaoying, do you know what you're talking about?" Lu Di's voice was stern and suspicious, "This is a serious question." "Yes, I know." Luo Ying didn't look at Yige or Ludi, but only looked at Juan's eyes, "I'm serious." Luo Ying's voice was flat, emotionless, gentle and cold, like a needle piercing the air in an overly quiet room.Everyone is looking at her.Everyone except Iger was caught off guard by the change.However, no one raised any questions.Everyone was silent, waiting for her to give more explanation.
