Chapter 424 The Foodie Male Lead 12 (2/2)

"On the surface? Isn't it an accident?"

Zi Xi noticed the unusual tone in his words.

“I observed the scene. If it was a fall, the landing point would be completely wrong. If it was a fall, the point of impact and the distribution of scattered items should not be like that.”

"On a protruding rock on the cliff, I found an extremely fine scratch. It was not natural weathering or a star beast claw mark, but more like a burn mark left by an advanced weapon."

Mo Chen looked at her, his eyes sharp.

Zi Xi gasped.

Advanced weapons? Aren't those equipment only used by the military and specific expeditions?

"You mean someone killed him?"

Zi Xi's voice was filled with disbelief.

Doesn't the rule forbid killing each other?

And this was being broadcast live, and they already started attacking?

"Nine times out of ten."

"Moreover, this is not a coincidence."

Mo Chen affirmed, his brows furrowed.

He quickly accessed his portable miniature computer and retrieved the data and images of the deceased, Lone Wolf.

He was a tall, cold-blooded man who was skilled in using laser guns.

“Look, he’s almost 1.9 meters tall and has such a strong build.”

"Do these features look familiar?"

Mo Chen pointed to the image.

"He...is he with you...?"

"Is he your brother??"

Zi Xi looked at him carefully, then looked up at Mo Chen's tall figure and short hair, her pupils shrinking slightly.

"No... wait, can't your little idiot brain work?! My son is an only child, where would he get any brothers!"

"But you're right, this person's build is at least three-tenths similar to mine."

"Especially those who have experienced life and death, and have a somewhat menacing aura."

Mo Chen sneered.

"Could it be... that you're some kind of interstellar thief, and that's why these people are after you?"

Zi Xi looked strange and took a few steps back to keep a safe distance from Mo Chen.

"You ungrateful little brat, don't you know how I've treated you all this time?!"

"However, the possibility is extremely high regarding this matter concerning me."

"Moreover, if it is really targeting me, then the other party is very likely to have received orders to kill without mercy, even if it is wrong, and the target is all contestants who match my characteristics."

Mo Chen rolled his eyes, his gaze filled with resentment.

He immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

This was no ordinary accident during the show; it was a premeditated assassination.

Furthermore, the other party was professional in their methods and adept at disguising accidents, even managing to deceive the production crew's investigation.

This must be investigated immediately.

Mo Chen made an excuse that he needed to calm down by himself, leaving Zi Xi behind, while he quickly disappeared into the depths of the rock crevice.

After confirming that no one was around and that any possible surveillance had been blocked, he activated the quantum-encrypted channel hidden deep within his personal terminal, which directly connected to his personal guard.

"Night Owl, it's me."

Mo Chen's voice regained the coldness befitting the Crown Prince of the Empire.

"Your Highness!"

"You are safe and sound! We have been trying to contact you!"

A respectful and swift response came from the other end of the channel.

To make a long story short...

"Immediately mobilize all resources to investigate the true background and all social relationships of the deceased Lone Wolf."

"I also need the most detailed autopsy report and on-site data analysis, focusing on finding energy residues and other unnatural traces from advanced weapons."

"Investigate all suspicious spacecraft that have recently entered or attempted to enter my planet, and identify their signal sources."

Mo Chen quickly explained the unusual aspects of the lone wolf's death and his own speculations.
