In the study, the conversation between Pedi and his father continues.

Duke Nick brings the conversation to Gus El, much to Peedy's surprise.

Faced with his father's inquiry, Pedi thought for a moment and said, "In their brief conversation, Sir Gus El seems to have mentioned some secret..."

Duke Nick wrote and drew on the paper and did not answer Pedy's question.

"Rustle, rustle!"

The sound of Duke Nick's writing was particularly deafening as the candlelight flickered.

After about two minutes, Duke Nick rubbed his temples and said, "Do you think that with Hanko's strength to sneak attack Gus El, the old knight has a chance to survive...... You should find out what happened in the short time you were away. ”

"I will!" Pedi thought of Harus, who had survived.

"If there is any important discovery, don't tell anyone, you can always come to the Prime Minister's Office to find me, or enter the Lion Castle first under the pretext of visiting Prince Sinda, and the Lion Castle is relatively safe. The Duke sorted out the papers he had just written.

"Is this necessary?" Pei Di thought to himself, but his mouth subconsciously agreed.

"Also, there's going to be something going on in the security department these days, and you'd better not get involved. Grand Duke Nick stood up and patted Pedy on the shoulder, "This time they are not only using you, but even I have been used by them... I hope my conjecture is wrong. ”

With that, he turned and walked to the desk, "You go and rest, I think, you should have a lot to do tomorrow." ”

Pedi looked at his father, who was busy again, didn't speak, and left the study lightly.

At this time, Pedi did not bother the servant, and he returned to his room, but unexpectedly there was a man lying on the bed, and by the faint light of the candle, Pedi found that it was his youngest sister Phyllis.

He shook his head helplessly, and then lay down on the edge of the bed.

My father's words still ringed in my ears.

Once again, he recalled everything that had happened in those days.

......

The Imperial Guard Headquarters building is independent of the Lion Castle and sits in the heart of the inner city of Patved. The entire headquarters of the Security Service occupies an extremely large area, and even has a separate military camp and training base.

An hour earlier, Duke Nick's assistant had just woken up Pedi, and the guards in the makeshift dungeon in Tyre had just finished changing shifts.

Nearly fifty agents from two-thirds of the imperial capital were gathered outside his office by Gus El to wait for orders.

On the other side...

In the office of the Chief of the Administrative Building of the Supervision Section of the Security Division, Section Chief Bernie took a report and looked back and forth no less than three times, revealing a serious and old face in the light of the fire.

Bernie is very strong, as strong as a bear, even if he is over half a hundred years old now, no one doubts his strength, and in the entire human empire, the warriors who can fight him can always be counted.

After reading the report again, Bernie threw the document on his desk and said to his assistant Quix, "Did the Commissioner's Office just issue an order to pass it on?"

"It has long been communicated. Quix flicked the wick of the candle, "But a lot of things don't fit the rules, you..."

"It's okay," Bernie stared at the list in his hand with a smile on his face, "Look at these people, they are all at the level of senior agents and above, do you know what their greatest power is?"

"What is it?" asked Quix subconsciously.

Lying on the soft leather couch, Bernie stared at the ceiling and said, "The right to elect and impeach the Chief of the Security Service... There was a desire to clear some of the voices that opposed him. ”

"Are you saying that the Commissioner is going to use this assassination incident to..." Quix said halfway, then looked cautiously at his boss and said: "Then you can't sign these orders, in the security department, without your orders, the people in the Operations Section can't be transferred." ”

"Huh. Bernie shook his head and sneered, "Gus El was really assassinated?"

"It should be true, after many verifications, if it weren't for the one called... The gang leader named Arnold, the commissioner may have been killed by them. Quix said cautiously looking at his boss.

"That's a shame. Bernie raised his eyebrows, then looked at his assistant solemnly and said, "Although Gus El is not very capable, he is always the head of the security department, and we can't laugh at him at this time... The majesty of the guard does not allow anyone to provoke!"

As he spoke, he picked up a stack of documents on his left hand side and began to read through them carefully, which was a personal file above the rank of assistant chief of security, "How is the 'Tower of Dawn' organization investigating?"

"There are already some eyebrows, they have a very tight organizational structure, the members of the peripheral organizations are basically one-line contacts, and at the same time, the middle management does not even know each other. Quix flipped out a stack of materials, "Moreover, the management above the middle level seems to be brainwashed, no matter how they are interrogated, they can't ask for a single piece of information, and even magicians who are proficient in the soul system are helpless." ”

"There's always a way. "Bernie is not in a hurry at all, he is very experienced in dealing with this kind of organization. After looking down and thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly asked, "What position was Gus El in the guard department thirteen years ago?"

Quix was stunned and hurriedly looked through Gus El's file, "Thirteen years ago, the position of the director... Here, there is the liaison officer of the police station in the town of Yekjar. ”

"He's jumping fast enough!" Bernie's eyelids drooped slightly, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, he said, "Go find out who voted for Gus El in that internal election meeting six years ago, and then let our people focus on these people." Remember, this is top secret, and the agents in charge of the investigation cannot inform each other. ”

"You doubt the Commissioner?" A look of surprise flashed in Quix's eyes.

"I doubt anyone. Bernie glared at his assistant, then got up and walked to the window, looking down at the brightly lit barracks, where a squadron of duty guards had already assembled.

"Let them act in civilian clothes, remember, don't disturb the people!"

"Yes, sir!"

Knowing that his boss had no desire to talk, Quix bowed down and exited the office.

Bernie's face showed a hint of fatigue after his assistant left the office, he had barely slept for more than half a month, and he was tired.

Looking at the radiant young men in the barracks, Bernie remembered the oath he had taken to join the Inspection Section.

Nearly 30 years have passed, and he has changed from a young man to an old man, from an ordinary investigator to the head of the Supervision Section and the Operations Section.

......

Downstairs, Quix had finished delivering the order, and he subconsciously looked at the window of the room where Bernie was, but it was a blur, and only a little light could be seen.

Bernie ignored the assistant's gaze and retreated to the nearby break room after the Operations Section had finished getting ready.

He really needs a few hours of rest...

I don't know how long it has been.

Bernie was awakened by a cacophony of noises.

He snapped his eyes open, and a bright burst of fire made him frown.

"Bernie, you are suspected of embezzlement, and you have been arrested on the orders of the Supreme Commander of the Guard, Sir Gus El, and I hope you will cooperate. ”
