Act XLIV
Putting down the communication pendant in his hand, Graham's face turned pale, and he glanced at the blade of the sword around his neck.
The chilling blade reflected the moonlight, illuminating Graham's face, and he tried his best to keep his composure before speaking.
"I didn't expect you to do that. ”
"So what do you think I'm going to do, gather evidence everywhere, and then get constantly attacked, stumbling in search of answers?"
Rosen said, the blade in his hand did not move, he only needed to move an inch slightly to the left, and Graham would fall to the ground.
"I know you're a smart guy, and such an open and honest approach is good for both of us. ”
"Why are you here?"
Graham broke out in a cold sweat, he never expected that Rosen would kill him directly at his residence tonight, and sneaked into his home just when he was communicating regularly, and his communication with the other party just now was clearly heard by Rosen.
"Because of the contradiction. ”
Rosen replied that he didn't mind going into more of his own reasoning, because it would make Graham understand that everything was under Rosen's control, lest he still have a chance mentality.
"The Zavro family was only discovered nearly a week after they were killed, because we investigated reports of incidents with high clearance that no one would normally go through, and all the indications that remained at the scene indicated that the killers did not want anyone to know what was going on. ”
Zavro's case can be said to be a textbook concealment of murder, and the destruction of the scene at the same time is very meticulous, and it is also a complete murder and silence incident.
"But the incident at Shanai's house that followed was completely different, whether it was the method of planting bombs in the downtown area with a large number of people, or the overall process of handling the incident, it left many loopholes, which are very different from the Zavro incident. ”
After believing that the two incidents were the work of the same force, the difference aroused Rosen's suspicions.
Because under normal circumstances, there is no reason for someone who can plan the Zavro incident to commit a clumsy and direct crime like the bombing of Shanai's house, so Rosen believes that there is a contradiction in this.
"I therefore speculate that these two incidents came from two people from the same force. ”
Rosen's words silenced Graham.
Indeed, in Zavro's incident, Graham was on the scene throughout the whole process, and it was precisely because of his appearance that Zavro missed the best time to fight back and was killed in one fell swoop, of course, Graham did not instruct the disposal of the body, after all, Zavro was once his subordinate.
And Shanai's incident was completely beyond Graham's control, and even he didn't know about it.
It is precisely because of this that after he learned about this matter today, he hurriedly questioned the other party, which happened to be caught by Rosen.
"Since there is a problem, there must be communication, and I just happened to bump into it. ”
In other words, regardless of whether or not Graham was on the phone with the other party, Rosen was ready to have a showdown with Graham, which made the branch chief feel a little frightened.
"Then here's the problem, Graham Branchmaster. ”
After saying this, Rosen began to ask the other party back.
"Who was talking to you just now?"
"If I don't know, will you believe it?"
Graham smiled and said helplessly.
"The only means of communication I have with these people is this directional communication crystal, when I need help, I contact them, when they need help, they contact me, and I don't ask anything superfluous, that's all. ”
"Didn't you meet when you killed Zavro?"
"They were wearing masks, their voices were magical, and I couldn't tell who they were. ”
Graham replied, not knowing whether it was true or false.
"And do you know they're cultists?"
Rosen asked again, of course, he could directly use the power of the law to spy on Graham's memory, but that could cause irreversible damage to Graham's brain, and if possible, Rosen still didn't want to use this last resort.
"Hehe, what about the cultists. ”
However, to Rosen's surprise, Graham actually smiled, and that smile was gloomy and cold, as if it had brought a chill around him.
"For us, cultists are not an existence that cannot be exploited, as long as they are within the scope of control, what if they are cultists?"
He said that this kind of thinking of using everything is typical of the thinking of a politician.
"You're not a cultist?"
Rosen asked as he scanned Graham's entire body and found no Ouroboros biting his tail.
"Of course I'm not, that filthy scum only deserves to be a tool. ”
Graham shook his head, as if to regain some composure.
"In other words, you still choose to cooperate with them even though you know that they are cultists?"
Rosen felt something interesting and confirmed.
"What do you want to say, a declaration of justice?"
Rhetorically, Graham didn't seem to find anything wrong with the behavior.
"You know, there are not many cultists in Wendland, they are crazy, cruel, stupid, and easily instigated, and if I can use them to do something, it will greatly benefit my cause. ”
"Does that include directing the cultists to cause chaos in Wendland, and then using this to attack the ruling Speaker's camp?"
Rosen asked, and it was easy to deduce that conclusion from Graham's words.
Consciously causing various cult incidents in the country, causing the people to panic, and at the same time using water armies, spreading unfavorable remarks on forums to incite public opinion, and then, as the branch head of the Magic Association, Graham used his identity to let things continue to ferment, and at the same time, when public opinion reached the highest, and then "arrested" a few leading cultists, then Graham's reputation will increase a lot, and his political career will reach a new peak.
Indeed, as Graham said, he will take advantage of everything, even if the other party is a cultist.
"So you're going to kill me now?"
Graham had become very calm at this time, completely free of his previous panic, which made Rosen smell a strange atmosphere.
"You don't seem to be worried about these things. ”
Rosen said, the blade of his sword approaching Graham's neck another inch.
"Of course I'm not worried about this, first of all, do you think I'm going to communicate with the cultists unprepared, without fear of someone eavesdropping or sneaking up?"
Graham smiled coldly, and the figure began to become illusory.
"Second, what do you think I, who know your home, will do to the two ladies who live in your house?"
