The Waltz Building on Prince Avenue is a symbol of today's new economy in Gill. It is a fifty-story skyscraper. Although it is not as tall as the Gaston Building in the past, this blue glass curtain building is full of modern atmosphere.
The terrace restaurant on the top floor is one of the favorite restaurants among the wealthy new immigrants in Sonia.
Now Lu Ming is sitting at the table in the restaurant against the blue crystal glass wall. Sitting opposite Lu Ming is Bolt, the former deputy director of the police department who is temporarily acting as the director of the state police department.
Bolt was originally the lowest-ranked deputy director, but after the former director Kalicek was taken away for investigation, it was like dominoes being toppled. Several other deputy directors were taken away by the joint investigation committee for investigation.
More than a dozen newly appointed middle-level officials were also taken away.
And the senior police officers who were originally in the first control period became active.
Now, sitting in front of Major General Bute, Bolt's palms are slightly sweaty.
Major General Bute invited him to have dinner here. Bolt quickly reported to Governor Goering, but unexpectedly, he met a big shot from New Neumann City, the royal capital.
Commissioner Goss from the Sixth Cabinet Secretariat.
Secretariat Six was originally an intelligence organization under the leadership of Prime Minister Dumas during the war. Now it is more like a special department directly led by the Prime Minister. Its scope of authority can be large or small. Whether it is anti-corruption, homeland security, etc., it can carry out special projects.
investigation.
Commissioner Gauss came to Gil City to investigate some of Bit's irregularities during his time in the Western Regions. For example, Secretariat Six suspected that he had instilled independent ideas into the rebel forces, which led to the current tense situation in the Western Regions.
It sounds like Secretariat 6 has no direct evidence and is planning to arrest people first and then investigate, as if it has some interrogation experts who can interrogate any truth.
Bolt is not stupid, and he also knows that it is a behind-the-scenes deal between the Rose Party and the Prime Minister.
Although the Rose Party is an important constitutional force supporting the Prime Minister, the interests of the two parties are often not completely consistent.
Now, the First Control is acting like crazy in the Gede area. It seems to be a desperate act of madness. Prime Minister Dumas is ready to give it a fatal blow and take this opportunity to completely destroy the First Control.
The key is to catch the madman in front of you and obtain evidence of his illegal behavior.
People from Secretariat 6 have already filled the restaurant, waiting for the signal to be sent to arrest people.
Bolt looked at the top-ranking general sitting opposite, sweating from nervousness on his back. He didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky to be involved in such a big event.
In fact, the guy named Bit across from him was just a major general who had been in the Western Region for a long time, and he was not considered the core figure of the first control at all. But it was this guy who suddenly declared war on the Rose Party after coming to Gill from the Western Region.
Rumor has it that the First Control had no preparation at all. They were trapped by this lunatic and had no choice but to fully support him. During this period, many First Control special operations personnel came from New Newman City.
As a result, he had enough manpower to arrest this madman. Moreover, when he arrested Russell, the deputy director of the police department, a fight broke out between his subordinates and Russell's armed police officers.
A shootout resulted in the killing of more than a dozen police officers.
This madman has participated in many wars in the Western Region, and he obviously regards this place as a battlefield. He is really crazy.
Prime Minister Dumas was extremely pleased with the chaos, believing that this was an excellent opportunity to completely destroy the First Control.
As long as this madman Bit is caught and his illegal behavior is interrogated, all the actions of the First Control in the Gede area will become a bargaining chip to ban this organization and directly force Dönitz to retire. As for the old Augustus
It doesn't matter to the guy, he is already old and his era has come to an end.
Bolt was thinking wildly about what the lunatic opposite him was saying, and he almost didn't hear a word.
Suddenly there was a jolt, but Commissioner Gauss was slowly walking over. He was an old man with white beard and hair, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life.
At the same time, the two nearby waiters slowly walked behind the madman.
"According to the peace rules of a thousand years ago, you should not get involved in these things. Your goals are only and only aimed at the enemies on the battlefield." The madman suddenly said to Commissioner Gauss who was slowly taking a seat.
Commissioner Gauss was obviously startled, and there was a subtle change in his eyes as he looked at the madman.
"His Majesty the King first used unconventional methods against his brother. Therefore, the rules were broken by the royal family themselves, and we are no longer bound by them." Commissioner Gauss stared deeply at the madman.
"His Majesty the King has expressed repentance and paid the price for it. At that time, His Majesty the King and his brother were in a state of war. Now that peace has been restored in the empire, you should continue to hide in the dark corners."
"No matter what, you come with me now." Commissioner Gauss's pupils suddenly turned pitch black, like a black hole.
Bolt couldn't understand the conversation between the madman and Commissioner Gauss. He couldn't even see the change in the color of Commissioner Gauss's pupils. In his eyes, he saw that suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind Commissioner Gauss, and then, Commissioner Gauss's throat
Instantly spurt out blood arrows.
Bolt stood up in surprise, then felt dizzy and gradually lost consciousness.
…
In the terrace garden on the fifty-eighth floor of Gaston, Lu Ming paced slowly.
In his hand, there was a black collar, and Lu Ming looked at it.
It looks like a rusty piece of junk that should be thrown into the trash.
It was a gift from the Hawkeye clan of the Onian people. The old lady Yelinkana thanked her for saving her granddaughter, and the gift was also a sign of loyalty.
The treasure inherited by the Hawkeye family, according to Yelinkana's story, is that their ancient ancestor, an extremely powerful hammer god, is sleeping in the collar. However, it needs to absorb life force before it can be awakened. Basically, it is to give
After a normal person puts on the collar, the normal person becomes a puppet and follows the owner, and can summon the power of the hammer god during battle.
However, Yelinkana also said that she had tried many methods but could not activate this treasure, but she thought that His Majesty would definitely be able to activate it.
Lu Ming felt that the collar did contain powerful power, but it had no appeal to him.
Even if this kind of magic can greatly enhance the puppet's combat effectiveness, it is still in Kunpeng's state. It doesn't matter. It just makes him have more bodyguards around him.
The most urgent thing is to let those who need to know in the capital know that he has the support of the Onian Hawkeye clan.
In this way, it is logical that he can get rid of Gauss by relying on the power of the Oonian Hawkeye clan.
It was Gauss, or rather the Prime Minister, who first violated the rules and used the power of the hidden world to deal with political opponents. His death fell within the rules of the hidden world and had nothing to do with the laws of the United Kingdom.
On the other hand, I am now at the forefront of the storm and have become an important figure in the eyes of the top dignitaries. So, by tossing it myself, it can be considered that it has achieved the effect I want.
However, if Gauss is killed, it may cause a chain reaction. His strength is not strong, and it is not a fighting force. However, his companions who seek revenge according to the rules of the hidden world may not be so easy to dismiss.
According to what Mrs. Yelinkana said, usually, the target of their revenge would be Kunpeng. Kunpeng didn't know if he could handle it, or he would have to arrange a helper for him.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming looked at the black collar in his hand.
