Section 190 Seizure by force 6
Lu Wu killed Grumas, but he was not guilty - although from the perspective of an earthling, it was simply incredible. But from the point of view of the locals www.biquge.info this is true.
To use a less precise analogy, this is like the famous Simpsons wife murder on Earth. After the verdict, a viewer interviewed by reporters believed that Simpson was the murderer, but he also admitted that the jury was not wrong, because if he was a member of the jury, then he would also acquit Simpson. Paradoxical things like this are not unique to Earth. For example, this is the case with Lu Wu right now.
The Radiant Sun family can find an assassin to assassinate Lu Wu, and can use various channels to block Lu Wu, and even publicly announce that they want to take revenge, but there is no way to accuse Lu Wu of guilt, because Lu Wu is indeed innocent. That's why Lu Wu only attends hearings, not trials. If he leaves his post alone, he will not even be able to give a hearing, which is not under the leadership of the regular army anyway. If this is done, then the only overt punitive action on the part of the regular army has one and only option (if private retaliation and obstruction do not count): to revoke the "entrusted defense" of the city and stop the high subsidies.
It must be said that if it weren't for this, Lu Wu would not have been able to find death by himself no matter what. Even if his ideal is to be an adventurer, he has never thought of such a thing as "actively looking for death".
"I'm ...... Came by airship. Lu Wu wanted to say that he went straight and completely avoided the possibility of accidents in the middle. Moreover, this airship still belongs to the maintenance master, that is, it is hidden, and it is not under Lu Wu's name. In this case, even if the Bright Sun family had been prepared, they would be caught off guard. The most important thing is that since there is a high-ranking official in the base camp now, the Shining Sun family will definitely not dare to be presumptuous at will.
Of course, there is also a hidden reason, that is, the master can listen to the incoming and outgoing signals, at least until the next password change on the side of Huiyue. Now, the trouble of the master is not whether he can get the news, but that there is too much "spam". Just like an internet without a search engine, it's not easy to find something useful to yourself. But even so, the master can also be sure that there is no one here in the base camp who is ready to make a move on Lu Wu. At least they didn't expect Lu Wu to come so suddenly. After all, Lu Wu could not have come.
"Airship?" said Colonel Doyle, slightly surprised.
"When the hearing is over, I'll leave. Lu Wu said. "I don't think it will be ...... at this time."
"You're thinking too simply. The colonel interrupted Lu Wu's words mercilessly. "But since you're here...... It's too late to say anything now. Greed kills, and it's true for those people just now, and it's true for you. His cold eyes turned to the ceiling, as if thinking about something. "Tell you ......"
The colonel's voice was interrupted. A whole group of people, about seven or eight people, walked in from outside the room. Three of them were apparently officers, while others were wearing light exoskeleton armor without helmets and looked like guards.
"You are Lu Wu?" The one who must have seen Lu Wu's photo at the beginning recognized him effortlessly for the first time. "I didn't expect to come early. ”
As mentioned earlier, the screening room was completely empty at this time, and the previous people, except for Lu Wu and the colonel, had already left, and the relevant equipment had also been taken away. In addition, the doors and windows that were previously closed have also been opened, so the whole room is now quite brightly lit.
Furniture such as tables and chairs may not be suitable as an interrogation room, but it seems that there is no problem at all for hearings.
The officer in the lead stopped his gaze on Lu Wu for a few seconds, and then turned to Colonel Doyle, who was beside Lu Wu. Having said that, the appearance of a person like Colonel Doyle is so obvious, it is estimated that if not everyone knows it, at least he can be regarded as a celebrity.
"Colonel Doyle?" the strange officer recognized. "Your meeting should be ......"
"I can't say much more. Colonel Doyle stood up as he spoke softly. "Remember one thing: don't be greedy, know that no one can cheat now!"
Colonel Doyle left the door of the room. And the strangers stayed. Someone went to check the doors and windows, and locked the doors from the inside. Others lined up the chairs in the screening room.
The whole process was silent, no one spoke, only the leading officer stood to the side with his hands on his sleeve, looking at Lu Wu's whole body with an indescribable gaze that seemed to be three points of curiosity and three parts of malice.
That kind of vision is reminiscent of the livestock and poultry market. Those livestock and poultry that were sold probably felt such a gaze.
Although Lu Wu knew that he was going to participate in a hearing, and he would not be arrested even if he behaved poorly, the atmosphere was a little unpleasant.
A few minutes later, the person Lu Wu didn't know came to Lu Wu. It was a middle-aged strong man in his thirties and forties, and he should be said to have a mediocre appearance according to the world's appearance standards, and that face basically belonged to the type that was unrecognizable when thrown into the crowd. The two were only about two steps apart, and he looked at Lu Wu with an arrogant expression.
"You're Lu Wu, a little scoundrel from Fort Mouth City?" the man said. "I heard you colluded with a bunch of ruffians over there in Nice City to kill that kid from Grummas, didn't you?"
He had a domineering attitude, and there was no politeness in his words.
"I'm not a scoundrel. Lu Wu took a breath and replied. This bad attitude made him understand that maybe this hearing was not as simple as he thought. And he also remembered the hint that the colonel had just given him.
"Ha, what's wrong with living in that kind of border place and living by smuggling, and calling him a 'scoundrel?'" the officer laughed. "You don't look like a soldier at all. Really...... Without any military training and literacy, as a civilian, he was forcibly conscripted into the army in the middle of the escape, and then climbed to his current position by luck and not afraid of death. His face suddenly smirked, "So, what do you say about the matter of Nice City?"
"Well, I'm ...... I believe that I have already sent the relevant proof and defense, and no amount of explanation is useless. ”
This is due to the fact that Grumas did not do a good job of secrecy, and Lu Wu easily collected enough evidence. Of course, it's one thing to have evidence, it's another thing for others to approve or not to approve of your evidence. No matter what evidence there is, it is a fact that Lu Wu took the initiative to attack Grumas.
Indeed, no amount of explanation is of any avail. I don't want to talk too much nonsense," the officer said in a rare softened tone. "Now, the Banshee's Gate has been blocked here for too long, and there is bad news everywhere, one mission in the east has failed, and one goal in the west has not been completed. There is also a staggering list of human losses, and a waiting that seems to never end. There were people shouting about the reconquista, but now no one even mentions the reconquista. Isn't that a jerk? Yes, now we need a victory, even a small one, to lift the hearts and minds a little bit. Someone recommended you. ”
"Me?" Lu Wu was puzzled by what he heard, and for a moment, he even forgot that this should be a hearing, aimed at the matter of Nice City, not a military deployment or something. But since he's been here, so many unexpected things have happened that it's nerves numbing.
Maybe he's not the only one who has forgotten about it. He seems to be the only one who cares about the hearing, and the others are almost completely unaware of it.
"Yes, you are one of the few who survived the battle with Kecha Goat...... By the way, people who also made a little cheaper. The other nodded. "Some people say you're just lucky, others say you're more than luck. But anyway, now you have a floating fortress in your hand, which is just right for the task. We need someone...... Unleashing a sharp and sudden attack can put some pressure on Kecha Goat, attracting its attention and gaining an advantage over the rest of the front. What do you think?"
This kind of condescending rhetoric is confusing, but since the other party said so, he doesn't seem to be able to refuse. How to say that Lu Wu is also a Chinese who grew up under the red flag. To say that cowering in battle, greedy for life and afraid of death, etc., is not at all the three views of contemporary Chinese. Of course, on the other hand, what does it matter if you agree to this? Anyway, between Kecha Goat and him, at most, it is just acting. One pretends to attack, the other pretends to defend.
"Well, it should be fine. Lu Wu agreed without much hesitation.
"It's a tall order, Legionnaire. The middle-aged officer's face changed so fast, from the "little scoundrel" just now to the current "corps commander", which almost made people think that he had a multi-layered mask on his face. "Is there anything we need our help with? You know, because of the problem of belonging between us, we can't pay you directly for equipment in terms of ordnance, and I have to apologize. But it's a lot easier if it's funding. I've heard that your Floating Fortress is still under repair, and there should be financial pressure, right?"
The world has changed so badly that Lu Wu feels very surprised. Is there really a pie in the sky? Well, if a pie really falls from the sky and hits you on the head, it will make you dazed and can't believe it. In fact, Lu Wuyi didn't know how to answer for a while, but unconsciously, his mouth was already open.
But the other party obviously interpreted Lu Wu's confusion and confusion as fear of the rash promise just now, and of course, after coming back to his senses, the reaction caused by the shock could not be achieved.
"Your Excellency Lu Wu, we should talk about a little bit of detailed requirements......" The other party gestured to his subordinates beside him, so a table and a few chairs were pulled over, and the two sides of the conversation could now sit down and talk slowly.
Wait until all this is done - this sentence means that they have finished talking about giving Lu Wu money (money that is too much money to make Lu Wu unbelievable), and by the way, they have signed a letter of responsibility and so on. The officer finally stood up satisfied.
"Sure enough, Your Excellency Lu Wu, as the legend says, is an out-and-out warrior. Being able to return to the original path to save people alone is not something that ordinary people can have. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Garr," he took the initiative to pull out his terminal. "Your Excellency Lu Wu, this opportunity is rare. His last sentence was a bit incomprehensible. "Thank you for your continued care. ”
......After talking about unrelated matters for a long time, Lu Wu finally remembered that this hearing seemed to have nothing to do with this matter. "The ...... of the Hearing"
"Isn't the hearing over?" said Gal shrugged. "Your Excellency Lu Wu, I'm afraid you don't know how annoying that little cub of the Bright Sun family is. It was already his luck to be able to fall to death like that, and many people even hoped that he would eat the flesh and sleep on the skin as soon as possible. And the evidence you provide is enough to tell the whole story, it was the bastard who hatched everything himself and then pit himself to death. All I can say is that I deserved to die, didn't I?"
"Ah......h
"By the way, the Floating Fortress mechanics are actually very conservative, and you could have proposed a faster repair schedule and made them work overtime day and night. Gal smiled and said hello, turning around and beckoning the others to leave. Leaving Lu Wu for a long time, he couldn't come back to his senses. When he came, he was more or less nervous because of the unknown future. But now it looks ...... Everything is overthought. He's not here for a hearing, he's here to pick up a big pie.
And those words of the colonel...... Although the colonel had good intentions, he probably made a mistake. He thought as he stepped out of the building as he pulled out the terminal, ready to contact the airship that was still hovering overhead.
Then, he saw an ominous wisp of gray-white smoke burst from the airship's body, and then it fell straight down.
