"Here," Qing Chen returned Nan Gengchen's phone card to him, "rember one thing, don't chat about anything related to Ti Traveler on WeChat until I get to the Data fortress."
Nan Gengchen turned on his phone and casually scrolled through the news.
After all, it had only been a few hours since he returned, and there were sure to be people anonymously posting about events in the Inner World.
Both he and Qing Chen were out in the wilderness, and it was necessary to catch up on the major events happening within the Federation.
However, just then, Nan Gengchen froze, "Brother Chen, look, Chuang Wang posted on Weibo, and it's related to us!"
Qing Chen frowned and looked, only to see the Weibo post clearly talking about Taboo Land no. 002.
"As of the last ti travel ended, the new developnts in the Shadow Conflict data piece announced by He Xiaoxiao student: Most popular candidate Qing Huai was ambushed while carrying out a mission in Taboo Land no. 002 and was tragically intercepted. After the failed mission, on the way to evacuate Taboo Land, he did not survive."
"At present, the Federal Group Army has found Qing Huai's body. The candidate's fatal injury was a ruptured major artery in the neck, and it has been classified as homicide. Update on the Shadow Conflict data piece progress: 8/9."
"The murderer who ambushed Qing Huai is suspected to be the son of an elder from Fire Pit. The murderer is suspected to possess Taboo items, has extrely strong abilities, and is highly intelligent. He nearly decimated Qing Huai's team single-handedly, with a very high danger level."
It had been a long ti since Chuang Wang and He Xiaoxiao had posted any significant news. Previously, everyone thought the Shadow Conflict would take much longer to progress, yet soone had died so soon!
This incident quickly climbed the trending search list, but Chuang Wang's analysis was also the result of being misled by Li Yinuo!
This ti, as an eyewitness—or rather, as the protagonist of the event—Qing Chen knew all the truth!
However, for Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen, they were more concerned about who this Chuang Wang actually was!
Qing Chen looked up to Nan Gengchen, "I ask, you answer, I need to analyze the clues about this person."
"Sure, ask away, Brother Chen," Nan Gengchen said.
"Who knows about the Fire Pit incident?" Qing Chen asked.
"Very few people know about this incident. Just , Li Yinuo, Qing Huai's Uncle Zhang Yang, and a Deputy Officer Wang, plus the platoon leader of the 7th platoon in the field company, Ning Shun," Nan Gengchen said, "Everyone else was sent away."
"After you finished discussing, did anyone inform others about this matter?" Qing Chen asked.
"No," Nan Gengchen said, "Before returning, Li Yinuo asked to go to the toilet to avoid arousing suspicion from others due to any abnormalities before and after the transit, but I'm sure that those few people didn't leave during the ti I took the sealed bag to the toilet."
Well, the target can temporarily be locked in between these few people.
Qing Chen continued, "Did the Federal Group Army inform Li Yinuo about Qing Huai's cause of death?"
"No," Nan Gengchen shook his head, "The Federation soldiers all wear communication earpieces, and we can't hear their conversation."
"Ning Shun, as an interrogation subject, shouldn't have an earpiece, right?" Qing Chen asked.
"No."
Qing Chen relaxed, "The cause of Qing Huai's death is true because I personally killed him. At present, according to the clues, Chuang Wang is among Deputy Officer Wang and Zhang Yang!"
Qing Chen said, "Next ti I travel, I will find a way to get photos of these two n and rember their faces."
What he didn't expect was that Chuang Wang, for the sake of popularity, had exposed his own identity to himself.
However, what puzzled Qing Chen was, did this guy really think that among the few people present at that ti, there wouldn't be a Ti Traveler?
Blatantly revealing the progress of the Shadow Conflict like this made the target too obvious for the people involved.
Or, did the other party have so other backup plan?
The two Ti Travelers on the internet, who seed to have a foresight, had already exposed one.
There was only He Xiaoxiao left.
However, it was also strange that previously, He Xiaoxiao said she wanted to use the Data fortress to set up a group chat, but there had been no movent for so long?
...
When Qing Chen got ho and opened the door, he was as gentle as possible for fear of waking up Jiang Xue and Li Tongyun, who were sound asleep inside.
But unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw that a al on the dining table had not been touched.
It seed that Jiang Xue hadn't gone straight to sleep after her return but guessed that Qing Chen would likely be hungry after his busy day, so she made fresh food before going back to bed.
Qing Chen sat next to the dining table and touched the plate; the dishes were still warm.
Just as he felt ward by the thought, the bedroom door was quietly cracked open a little.
Li Tongyun, wearing a small nightgown and hugging a half-human-tall stuffed toy, tiptoed out of the room.
She ca to Qing Chen's side and said in a pitiful voice, "Brother Qing Chen, save !"

Without thinking, Qing Chen rejected her, "Haven't finished your howork? I'm not helping you with that."
"It's not about howork!" Li Tongyun murmured in a low voice, "It's my Ti Traveler identity, it might be exposed in the Li Family soon!"
"The Li Family is about to discover your Ti Traveler identity?" Qing Chen realized the seriousness of the situation; the young girl wouldn't joke about such matters, "Tell , what happened."
Li Tongyun lowered her voice and said, "This ti in the Inner World, I accidentally overheard the adults talking. They said they've controlled over three hundred Ti Travelers and are ready to carry out a 'clearance plan'."
This was indeed consistent with the information Qing Chen had received; he had even planned to ask Li Tongyun about it, but she had unexpectedly received related intelligence first.
