Gan!

He was actually betrayed by his mistress!

Yang Ming left the glass cabin with a dark face, his hands were shackled, and he walked towards the hatch without looking back.

"Hanton!"

Doctor Lina chased him a few steps, but was blocked by guards.

Yang Ming turned to look at the doctor.

"Take care of yourself," Lina said excitedly, "I will find a way to help you as soon as possible."

"Thank you," Yang Ming felt warm in his heart and glared at Mistress No. 1 again.

The hot trainee navigator just shrugged and spread his hands, not feeling any guilt at this moment.

They were just shipmates. When the ship exploded, their intimate relationship naturally ended.

Next, the Human Rights Council dispatched more than ten working groups, which simultaneously entered the glass room to investigate and collect evidence. The action was very efficient.

Yang Ming was taken to a separate interrogation room and underwent two comprehensive inspections. Fortunately, the identity of the transformer was not revealed.

He began a long silence.

If you were Hanton, what would be your best performance now?

It's very simple, be absolutely loyal to the Sherman Empire and wait for the Empire to rescue him.

Therefore, when facing the Human Resources Council investigation team, Yang Ming remained silent;

A day later, Yang Ming remained silent when facing the officials who were paying attention;

Two days later, when facing the interrogator of the interstellar court, Yang Ming originally planned to remain silent, but he discovered that... if he continued to remain silent, he might really be thrown into an interstellar prison!

He decided to say something.

…

Interstellar Tribunal Three is located in the center of Cole Harbor.

The core of Port Cole is an abandoned giant transport ship. Based on this transport ship, the alloy structure continues to 'grow' in all directions, and will continue to accept more abandoned ships and integrate more dismantled fortress plates.

, eventually forming this interstellar transit station that can accommodate a population of one million.

An M-type dwarf star continuously provides energy to Cole Harbor; the high technology contributed by the New Federation also allows simulated gravity fields to be followed here.

Of course, the vast majority of residents here are migrants.

People are more willing to settle and retire on physical planets.

The No. 3 Arbitration Tribunal, which is open to the public, can be regarded as the "Internet celebrity check-in" place in Cole Port.

The exterior of the arbitral tribunal looks like a sea bowl, just like the Colosseum in Yang Ming's impression; more than a dozen rows of seats are surrounding it, with figures from different star fields and races sparsely scattered around.

In the middle of the tribunal, three judges - to be more precise, they should be called public hearing judges - were sitting on anti-gravity stone chairs in mid-air, staring at Yang Ming who was slowly rising on a flying disc.

"Captain Hanton."

The chief inquisitor is an elderly woman with short light brown hair and very sharp eyes. Her too-slender neck and limbs make her look elegant and weird.

The female inquisitor asked: "You will continue to remain silent today, right?"

Yang Ming did not respond.

He was reflecting on the sumptuous meals of the past week and the soft mattress on which he slept effortlessly.

The Human Rights Council really attaches great importance to the protection of human rights.

The female inquisitor nodded, looked at the text projected in front of her, and said slowly:

"You are an outstanding Sherman officer, but Captain, the imperial elites who were rescued with you do not care too much about the honor of the empire. They have provided sufficient testimony to prove your guilt."

Yang Ming suddenly became a little worried.

Has his identity as a modified experimental subject been exposed?

The researchers who participated in the 'Hanton Transformation Experiment' were all knocked unconscious by him, and they all died in the explosion of the research ship... Do the other researchers also know about the temporary experiment?

Yang Ming groaned a few times.

The female inquisitor stared at Yang Ming with intimidating eyes.

"I want to know what they said," Yang Ming asked calmly.

The female inquisitor announced a series of nouns: "Professor Kilgrove, Project Valkyrie, human modification experiment, genetic fusion, monster, Valkyrie... Although you don't need to add anything more, we still want to hear what you have to say,

You are also one of the perpetrators."

"I'm just a third officer," Yang Ming's expression was full of helplessness, "I'm only responsible for the maintenance of the fire protection system and some emergency repairs."

The female inquisitor asked: "Are you directly involved in the Valkyrie Project?"

"No," Yang Ming said, "I am not the executor of the plan. Whenever I enter the test area by mistake, I will be shouted back by those in white coats. The status of the third officer is actually very pitiful. This is a general rule."

Yang Ming glanced at the middle-aged men wearing imperial military uniforms in the audience with his peripheral vision.

The savior has come?

The female inquisitor then asked: "The disaster of the destroyed scientific research ship was caused by the Valkyrie's riot, right?"

"Yes."

"According to the testimony of several bridge staff, you were standing on the main console and said a few words. You said - you need to perform penetrating trauma on the Valkyrie so that she cannot move, right?"

"Yes."

Yang Ming added: "I just think it's safer that way."

He was betting that no one alive would know about the battle that took place in the aft cabin.

"Besides," the female interrogator looked away from the documents in front of her and stared at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming's heart was in his throat.

The female inquisitor said: "The trainee navigator, your sexual partner on this scientific research ship, confessed to us that you were extremely panicked before the Valkyrie launched the uprising and reminded her to find the lifeboat, right?"

The corners of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

This bitch who repays kindness with revenge, don't fall into his hands again!

"Yes, at that time I judged from various signs that the Valkyrie might have lost control."

Yang Ming's expression looked extremely sincere:

"The specific signs are more complicated and mainly attributed to the biological sixth sense - intuition.

"Some of my information comes from researchers with abnormal mental states. I am a mature and physically strong male, and I have had more than one casual partner."

"oh?"

The female inquisitor pushed up her glasses and looked at Yang Ming's strong and well-proportioned muscles under his military uniform.

The female inquisitor asked: "Then what did you do after you judged that the Valkyrie might be out of control?"

"The riot broke out before I could do anything."

Yang Ming thought for a while and said slowly:

"I know you may have thought of me as an evil executioner, but I want to say that I am just a low-ranking officer following the orders of my superiors.

"I am standing here now because the disaster took the lives of my superiors. The captain, first mate, and second mate all died. I, the third mate, a firefighter, need to take over, not because of the sins I committed.

."

"Yes, Captain Hanton," the female interrogator nodded in approval, "We need to try the crimes on that scientific research ship, and there must be a specific criminal subject."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "You mean, no matter what I say, I will face jail time?"

"The facts that happened objectively cannot be changed by your subjective opinions."

The female inquisitor said:

"If you are willing to plead guilty in court, participate in the subsequent press conference, truthfully explain to reporters what happened on the scientific research ship, and fully promote racial equality, fairness and justice, then I will use the lightest possible punishment allowed by interstellar law.

The punishment will be pronounced and you will be safely placed.

"If you choose to defend that ridiculous imperial honor, you will face up to twenty-two years in prison."

Yang Ming was about to speak.

The female interrogator said: "You don't have to worry, Hanton. According to our regulations, the interrogation period is two months long. You will be sent to the prison in Cole Harbor next. You can wait there for one month. What will happen next?"

The trial will be held in one month."

"You are a citizen of the New Federation, right? Inquisitor?" Yang Ming suddenly asked.

The female interrogator was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, I just work here."

Yang Ming curled his lips and said calmly: "I feel the malice towards the Sherman Empire in your words. You have already made it clear that I betrayed my motherland."

The female trial officer said: "I will not bring my personal feelings into my work. You are questioning my professional ethics."

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Hypocritical federation."
