It actually doesn't even take that much digging.
Mo Yinan links the incident to a certain Minister Fargani, previously a general that had caused the Gelhinna Empire plenty of trouble. It is said that this minister is extremely well-versed in intergalactic politics and has stellar relations with human coalitions.
Further cementing Mo Yinan's suspicions is the fact that Fargani and Zassir do not get along, often clashing in their opinions. Unlike the majority of the Solothi race, Fargani is considered rather eccentric but it seems that they keep them around because they know how to maneuver around foreign entities with much more ease compared to the majority of the Solothi race.
Mo Yinan pockets this information and lets his beloved know.
They will undoubtedly meet this Fargani character once they enter the capital. Which is soon. But before then, Damien makes word of his promise to meet General Zassir to talk about the prisoner that he now holds.
