Chapter 114 CIA speculation
第114章 中情局的推测
”How does one make the data cable and wire pa.s.sed through the ventilation holes? I understand that they do not even fit the entire arm.” the Vice President asked.
”Robots. Some kind of advanced pipe robot. It traveled in the pipeline at an alarming rate. We can be sure that the other party was familiar with the vent structure and the pipe robot was specially designed for this ventilation hole diameter size. We can guess that it is the type that could move around 360 degrees.” (tl: a bit unfamiliar with the last sentence.)
”So, who do you think the spies are?” The Secretary of Defense asked this. His facial expression still didn’t look good.
”Temporarily, it’s not conclusive. We have all the staff in the military lab from that night under 24-hour surveillance. And as I said earlier, there are two spies. One person is responsible for tampering with the camera records while the other directly commit the crime. We guessed that the perpetrator directly responsible for committing the crime was one among the 17 special forces killed as a sacrifice.”
”Nonsense!” the Secretary of Defense banged the table. He could not tolerate Michel insulting those soldiers who died for the country.
”Mr. Secretary, if the spy wasn’t among those 17 soldiers, we can not explain how the spy finally find a way out of the central chamber.”
”So, you tell me where did Sam’s laptop and lost energy stone go to if they are not in any of the dead man’s body?”
”As I said, there is a robot in the vents. For a laptop, if you used a tool to cut it transversely three times, you can take it out through the vents. Even if the hard drive may be damaged, it can be repaired after it was brought out. The other party used the robot to take away the laptop entirely to give us an illusion that the spy managed to successfully leave.”
”Excluding the military laboratory high-level Sam and Brown from being suspected of committing the crime, we investigated the 17 soldiers killed up to an hour before the incident – the records of their whereabouts. Five men do not have an alibi, but the remaining 12 people cannot be removed as suspects. This is because we cannot ensure that there are no other spies that the opposite party had placed.”
”There is no alibi? The camera? The picture that the cameras caught of them patrolling is fake?”
”I’ll say again. The video camera has been tampered with, and the other party way tampering is very brilliant, and eliminate any traces of tampering.”
”The other side was lurking behind Sam and followed him to enter into the central chamber. We’d checked in Sam’s case. He was suffering from low blood pressure, heart disease and glaucoma. His body was thin like a firewood and was easy to faint. And because of glaucoma, his vision was impaired. If it is a master lurking behind him even in close proximity, he is unlikely to be found.”
” After the things happened like explained, the spy accidentally triggered the alarm, in which case he has been unable to escape. So, he just let the robot transport the Blood Crystal and stayed behind to fight against the soldiers rus.h.i.+ng in. And finally, once he killed everyone, he himself was also seriously injured and died. Of course, it’s more likely that he committed suicide.”
”Wonderful, really wonderful!” Michel, with his tinted gla.s.ses, clapped his hands. But no matter how one listened, his words are full of irony, “the explanation that can turn the impossible into the possible. Mr. Smith is indeed a lawyer.”
Smith coldly humped. “If you have other ideas, I am willing to listen.”
