"Ouch~! Let go! Let go! Amanda, can't you just come into my dream and wake me up?"
The muttering man had a high forehead and beard. He just woke up from a sweet dream, only to find that the trial had ended, and the female assistant next to him was staring at him with complaining eyes.
The two immediately left the court. As soon as they walked out of the door, the female assistant put her hands around her tall chest, pushed up her glasses slightly, and handed a letter to the man.
"The telegram from Renekton arrived early this morning, but because I had to rush over to attend the trial, I decided to give it to you after it's over."
The man took the letter and opened it with a frown.
"It's nothing serious. The new agent is saying hello to me and reporting on Renekton's current situation...um...the Berkeley family? Interesting...forget it, let's talk about the current issue first, the outcome of the trial.
Are you out yet?"
After reading, he folded the letter and stuffed it into his pocket. The man yawned again.
He is William Marshall, the director of the Renekton Defense Department.
As for the female assistant standing next to him, she is Amanda Bellen, a senior agent of the Department of Defense and Suppression, a seer of the Third Secret.
The superior's inquiry did not make Amanda feel pressured. Instead, she began to complain about William. The relationship between the two did not seem to be limited by their positions.
"If you had woken up just one minute earlier, you wouldn't have asked me such a stupid question."
After Amanda finished speaking, William started to smoke a cigarette with some embarrassment.
Although he did not see the final result, William relied on his own judgment and made an accurate guess.
"It's not going well, right? It seems that we have to stay here for a few more days. This trial should not end in a short time, although everyone knows that the result is destined."
Amanda sneered: "Do they think they can get away with it by finding a scapegoat to take the blame? Gordon's purpose is not to ask for disaster compensation at all."
Although it is the position of the country, the Defense and Suppression Department does not need to show any inclination towards this matter, but Amanda is different. William knows Amanda's resume very well. She joined the Defense and Suppression Department after leaving the Velen Prosecution Bureau. In essence,
I have feelings for my hometown of Gray Bean.
William knew very well that Gray Bean already knew that the disaster was related to the aborigines of the East Indian Continent, and Gordon should also have obtained the information.
But this is useless, because Gordon's purpose is not disaster compensation at all, but the fundamental competition for interests between empires.
There is no point in directing the disaster towards Secred. After all, there is a huge ocean with a storm raging across it, and the countries can't get any benefit from it.
In William's opinion, the war in the Western Continent has begun to brew, and this trial is a farce. Use that lady's life to give Greybean a step down and gain opportunities for war for the empire.
Gordon also wanted to take the opportunity to avenge his past humiliation and seize the red land colonial port and overseas archipelago resources.
After taking two puffs of cigarette, William prepared to leave and wait for the next court hearing.
He promised the Prime Minister to serve as a third party to witness the "fairness and justice" of the trial. At the same time, he also received an order from the Presidential Palace to pay attention to changes in the situation.
Therefore, before the dust settles, the two of them need to stay in the Western Continent and will not be able to meet the new person who wrote the letter in the short term.
The information about the real culprit of the Blackwater Disaster was provided by the newcomer who had just joined the Anti-Suppression Department. The other person was jointly recommended by Josh and Father Sang. William still had many questions that he wanted to ask him personally.<

……
Returning to Secred, Victor devoted himself wholeheartedly to the case of the Berkeley family. Together with de Gaulle, he collected a lot of information about them, sorted it out, and discussed it in the office.
As the richest family in Renekton, Berkeley's population is also too small. Currently, the only two people in their family who are related by blood are Dutch and Siqin.
Of course, what we are talking about here is the Berkeley of Renekton, and does not include the Western Continent.
However, in fact, in their previous generation, that is, Dachi and Siqin's father's generation, the situation was not too bad.
In addition to Siqin, Dutch had a brother and sister, but that brother was bitten by a venomous snake when he was hunting in the countryside when he was a teenager. He died on the spot in less than an hour.
Their sister will get married when she reaches her age, and the inheritance laws of any country will not allow her to get married.
Then they had an uncle and a cousin. The cousin was married and had children, but that family died at the hands of pirates when they traveled to sea.
This is why the Berkeley family is so sparse.
As for the so-called "direct line" bloodlines in the Western Continent, they have withered even more miserably than Daqi's. The branches that have flourished are all side branches continued by the women of the family, and the line of succession is far away from Daqi and Xiqin.
The earth was left behind.
The main titles of the direct bloodline have basically all fallen to Daqi after the death of the previous owner.
This also caused dissatisfaction among the old aristocratic class of Greybean.
Among them, their cousins were the most troubled, because Dutch's ancestors gave up their aristocratic status in the past in order to enter the House of Commons.
According to the Imperial Succession Law, Dutch's Berkeley should be kicked out of the succession.
However, the queen and the cabinet did not express any position on this. No matter what the old aristocrats discussed privately, those properties eventually ended up in Dutch's name.
This group of distant relatives are all jealous of the family's remaining properties and houses in the Western Continent, and of course they feel resentment.
However, what they don't know is that with Daqi's current wealth, he simply can't compare to the few pieces of shabby land and shabby castles passed down from his ancestors in the Western Continent.
He never went back to look at it once, and he didn't even bother to look through the financial records. He just accepted the title by default.
With such a status and wealth among brothers, Siqin indeed has the motive to seize the inheritance.
De Gaulle was very excited to sort out these clues and show Victor his new findings.
"Have you seen this person? Galway Toth, he was the previous general manager of the Villa, Mr. Parker's predecessor."
De Gaulle took the information obtained from the police station and talked non-stop to Victor.
This Mr. Galway came from the generation of Grandpa Dutch. He had watched Dutch and Siqin grow up since they were young. He should be very clear about their past. Later, he resigned because they were too old.
Go home and retire.
Immediately afterwards, de Gaulle went to find the head maid Merage, obtained from the other party the home address of Galway after he resigned, and quickly called Victor to visit the other party.
In his mind, if Sitchin is the real murderer, then Mr. Galway, who has taken care of them since childhood, will definitely be able to see some problems, and maybe he can also dig out clues that Sitchin is a seer.
However, it took too long, that room had been occupied by another person, and Mr. Galway was no longer there.
Later, Victor and De Gaulle also found out from the new owner that Mr. Galway had passed away and his son had also moved to an unknown place.
De Gaulle looked at the small building in confusion and scratched his head.
"Damn it, are you too late?"
"Maybe it's more than one step..." Victor couldn't help but laugh and joked, "That old man resigned because he was too old. This happened many years ago. I'm afraid we are a few years too late..." De Gaulle suddenly raised his head and said something out of nowhere.
"Could it be that Xiqin killed someone and silenced him?"
Hearing this, Victor was stunned for a moment.
If Mr. Galway knew that Sitchin was a seer, it is indeed possible, but the possibility is extremely low.
De Gaulle covered his head with his hands and suddenly thought of something.
"Agent for house rental and sale!"
He visited the new owner again and found out that the other party had indeed purchased the small villa through an intermediary.
De Gaulle took advantage of the situation and asked for the intermediary's name and address, and immediately set off to find him.
He danced and danced, his enthusiasm still not extinguished, and explained to Victor loudly: "Galway's son must have sold the property through an intermediary, and if they want to find a new address, they will definitely need an intermediary, probably an intermediary."
