39: Guidance

Long Yuan already understood Qi Huaiyi's intention in calling him over, and now hearing him say it himself, he secretly felt a great weight lift from his heart.

His biggest fear was whether someone in the Empire would discover his true identity as a Transmigrator and capture him for dissection and research.

Now, it was certain that Qi Huaiyi was indeed looking for him because of Ye He's attack and the missing plane.

Qi Huaiyi continued, "Our pressure is immense right now.

On one hand, the special plane has been missing to this day, its whereabouts unknown.

On the other hand, the diplomatic envoys from Fusang Country are constantly pressuring the Empire, demanding to interrogate and handle the culprit themselves.

They even turned around and claimed that the culprit might not be Fusang People, and that the Empire was slandering them, and so on.

Therefore, we must have evidence to prove that the culprit is indeed Fusang People.

However, the documents proving his identity were lost with the missing plane.

Thus, you might be the only witness who can prove that the culprit is Fusang People!

Do you truly understand Fusang Language and the writing of Fusang Country?"

Long Yuan nodded and said, "I do understand Fusang Language.

What that culprit said was undoubtedly Fusang Language; I heard it very clearly at the time!

He was even cursing Ye He as a 'little Empire dog' while attacking..."

Qi Huaiyi and the other two's expressions darkened upon hearing this, but Qi Huaiyi quickly brightened, exclaiming joyfully, "Excellent!

If we had you confront and communicate directly with the Fusang People diplomatic envoys, could you do it?"

"Confront the Fusang People diplomatic envoys directly?!" Long Yuan was startled.

"That's right!

They have been constantly pressuring us, and now the culprit is missing, and the information that could prove his identity has also been lost.

So, it is very likely that we will reach the point of direct confrontation between both sides in the future.

At that time, we must have sufficient evidence to make them shut up!" Qi Huaiyi sighed.

"This... confronting them is not an issue, but without the culprit and the customs clearance certificate, wouldn't such a confrontation be meaningless?

Can't we find that missing plane?

Our Empire should have a radar System, right?

Finding such a large target as a plane shouldn't be too difficult, should it?" Long Yuan did not want to confront any Fusang People people directly, because that would mean he would have to go to the South Capital Yingtian Prefecture, which would greatly increase the chance of his identity being exposed.

Therefore, he threw out several questions in a row.

Qi Huaiyi sighed lightly upon hearing this, briefly explaining the Empire's radar System and mainly attributing the cause to the weather conditions that day.

Long Yuan was dumbfounded to hear this, not expecting the Empire's technology to be so backward that its radar System couldn't even compare to a strong person's Soul Power.

Could this even be called a radar System?

Of course, the development directions of these two should be slightly different and cannot be simply compared in this way.

After a moment of thought, he still decided that it would be best not to go to Yingtian Prefecture.

Given his current situation, staying in Fengyang County was the safest choice.

So, he quickly communicated with the Heavenly Dao Eye in his mind, asking it to focus on checking if it could retrieve information in this regard, mainly including the period before and after the plane's disappearance, and the actions of the two special investigation teams.

Fortunately, the Copper Ridge area where the plane crashed was not far from Fengyang County, about a hundred miles away, and the Heavenly Dao Eye's ability currently exceeded that range.

Under the function of concentrated energy search and viewing, a large amount of information quickly poured in.

After reading it, Long Yuan quickly understood the whole story...

His thoughts raced, and he mused, "Qi Team Leader, you just mentioned that the special plane escorting the culprit disappeared in the Copper Ridge area, right?"

"That's right!

Copper Ridge is about a hundred miles from Fengyang, and with the severe weather conditions, our radar System indeed had difficulty monitoring the plane's movements..."

Long Yuan nodded and said, "According to my understanding, a typical escort plane is only equipped with a one-way Xuan energy supply, and Xuan energy is added during return maintenance.

If the plane encountered special weather, the Xuan energy consumption would increase several times.

If it didn't crash, then its Xuan energy would likely be depleted, so it should have found a place nearby to make an emergency landing..."

Long Yuan's words made Qi Huaiyi, Geng Yun, and Lu Shijie freeze, looking at each other!

Qi Huaiyi quickly reacted and said, "You're right.

Hai Xiang's special investigation team has been searching in and around Copper Ridge for over a month, but they haven't found any trace of the plane.

Now they are mobilizing the public to actively provide clues..."

Long Yuan continued, "Qi Team Leader, what I want to say is, I've been to Copper Ridge before for leisure.

If there's any place where a large plane could make an emergency landing, then there is only one place..."

"Oh?!"

The three of them were startled and immediately became excited.

Qi Huaiyi eagerly asked, "Where is this place you're talking about?!"

"Dark Night Valley!" Long Yuan stated with certainty.

"Dark Night Valley? Is that a valley?"

Long Yuan nodded, "Yes!

Dark Night Valley is shrouded in thick fog year-round, and it's almost perpetually dark inside the valley.

However, I've seen records from the local area that mentioned there used to be aircraft runways inside the valley.

They were built during wartime, hidden within the valley for safety, making them difficult for enemies to discover."

"Is that true?!"

Qi Huaiyi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up.

"Qi Team Leader only needs to have someone check the older local records of Copper Ridge to find this out.

Additionally, when I was traveling there, I accidentally heard someone mention a piece of information..."

"What information?!"

"Well, that is, Dark Night Valley is now controlled by an assassin organization, and the name of this assassin organization is Dark Night!" Long Yuan said.

"Dark Night?!"

The three of them were again greatly shaken upon hearing this.

"Yes, so if Qi Team Leader sends people to investigate, you must be careful.

It would be best to mobilize a large number of people and make ample combat preparations, otherwise, there is a high possibility of encountering their attacks..."

"This... thank you, Long Yuan, for providing this valuable information!

If we can truly find that missing plane and rescue the crew, you will be credited with the greatest achievement!!!" Qi Huaiyi said loudly.

Long Yuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Not at all, not at all.

I just happened to know this information, and I don't know if it will be useful for solving the case... Oh, by the way, I once read an article online that mentioned the Snow Eagle Empire now seems to have the ability to change local weather conditions.

Perhaps the torrential rain encountered during the escort plane's journey was the work of some people from the Snow Eagle Empire, it's not impossible..."

"Oh my God!!!" The three of them were incredibly shocked to hear this...

Qi Huaiyi said in shock, "Are you saying that the disappearance of the special escort plane was a premeditated, organized, and orchestrated hijacking operation?

With people from the Snow Eagle Empire and Fusang Country behind it, and even the Dark Night assassin organization involved?"

Long Yuan quickly said, "Qi Team Leader, I didn't say that.

All the truth still needs to be verified one by one by important figures like you, Qi Team Leader.

I just said whatever came to mind... Oh, by the way, there's another point that can prove this: why did those Fusang People diplomatic envoys only desperately pressure the Empire after the plane disappeared, and not when the culprit was captured?

In fact, they knew very well that the Empire would not be able to find that culprit, and those proving documents were also gone.

So, they were fighting a battle they were sure to win, which is why they appeared so arrogant..."

Qi Huaiyi listened, dumbfounded, and after a long while, finally reacted, saying excitedly, "I understand!

Thank you for your guidance, Long Yuan.

Once this matter is concluded, I will come to talk with you again!

Brother Geng, escort Long Yuan back, and make sure to guarantee his safety, understand?"

"Yes!

Brother Qi, rest assured!" Geng Yun quickly said.

After Long Yuan left the Yamen, Qi Huaiyi secretly gave Geng Yun some instructions, which left Geng Yun visibly moved, nodding repeatedly, and promising to treat Long Yuan well from then on...
