Since that night, the baby-faced guy has come over to chat in the dead of night for a while, and Weiss has been able to keep abreast of the progress of the investigation into the bombing.

Don't look at the Barston Military Academy, there are not many people, the land is not big, but the relationship is complicated. The gendarmerie units stationed in military academies can nominally investigate and interrogate anyone involved in the matter and, if necessary, can use special means to collect evidence, which, in addition to the inherent status and authority of the gendarmes, seems to be invincible, but in reality they are constrained by various rules, and the investigation work is walking on thin ice and progressing very slowly.

On the ninth day of Weiss's imprisonment in the "Little Black Room", the baby-faced brother brought him bad news: the missing armoury keeper Matthias was found near the border, and with no hope of escape, he chose to kill himself by drinking bullets, and people found tens of thousands of crowns and dozens of eagle head gold coins in his luggage - this high-value coin with a history of more than nine centuries has been withdrawn from the official circulation market, but it is still a common trade item on the black market in various countries. Holders can easily monetize it without being monitored by government financial institutions.

Matthias's death, on the one hand, made the mystery in front of the investigators suddenly revealed: there were tens of thousands of training shells in the armory of the Gaston Military Academy, and a bribed armory keeper had plenty of time to transform an ordinary training bomb into a deadly bomb, and the trainees went to collect the training shells in the artillery team before conducting live-fire training. On the other hand, it also interrupts the investigator's follow-up clues: when the armoury keeper in question keeps his mouth shut forever and leaves no new clues on his body, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to find the mastermind behind the source of the explosives!

Thinking that the investigation would not produce results for a day, and that he would not be able to leave the "little black house" for a day, Weiss was dumbfounded. And, he remembered a very, very important thing...... It seems that it is almost the birthday of my cheap sister!

I promised her that I would wear a handsome military uniform to participate in her birthday party, if she broke her promise this time, even if there were objective reasons, I am afraid she would not be forgiven, right?

The bitterness in the baby's heart can only be said to the little brother outside the window.

After listening to Weiss's painful statement, Nicolas Lebold was silent for a full three or four minutes before speaking: "I have three ways to get out, you can choose one, of course, you may not choose...... The first one, I find explosives to blow up the wall and help you escape, you go to your sister's birthday party, and then find a way to escape across the border to the Norman Empire. Second, I went to my cousin to intercede and asked him to send someone to escort you to your sister's birthday party, and then escort you back to continue waiting for the results of the investigation. Third, I will go to my father, explain the situation to him, and ask him to negotiate with the military police and the military academy through the military high-level to lift the control on you, and then you can go back on leave in the open. ”

At first glance, Weiss wondered, the first method is also called a method? Obviously there is a powerful dad and a terrific cousin, wouldn't asking them for help solve the problem? But after thinking about it, the reason why the baby-faced brother listed three methods like this may be to help Lieutenant Leebold test his true thoughts? Or, in fact, none of the three methods are good solutions, and the most rational choice is to stay here honestly?

Without waiting for Weiss to ask a few more questions, the baby-faced brother left a sentence of "I'll give you a day to think about it", and ended the day's "night talk" and left.

That night, Weiss slept very unsoundly.

What he didn't expect was that early the next morning, Lieutenant Leibold appeared at the door of the "little black room".

"Cadet 30177 Dragon Clumber Haysen!" The gendarmerie officer called Weiss by name.

Weiss heard this, and his demeanor was completely in line with the infantry training standards of the Free Federation of Ulster.

"Cadet 30177 Long Clumber Haisen reports to you! Sir! ”

The lieutenant looked Weiss up and down with his piercing eyes, "You look good in your mental state, huh?" It seems that this week-long retreat has benefited you a lot. ”

"I have a clear conscience, so I sleep soundly." Weiss replied with his head held high.

"A clear conscience?" A look of surprise flashed in Lieutenant Leiboy's eyes, "Do you know that 3 of your cadets in the 8th Artillery Corps were killed and 3 were disabled?" ”

"What difference would it make if I gave the shells to another artillery team, or if we used them ourselves?" Weiss asked rhetorically.

The lieutenant retorted: "You can also bring back the extra shells and return them to the armory, can't you?" ”

Weiss defended unhurriedly, "But, sir, I didn't know there was a problem with the shells at the time, and we had worked so hard to move them to the shooting range, so what reason should we have to bring them back instead of helping the other artillery teams, if the rules allow?" Put yourself in your shoes, sir, what would you do if it were you? ”

Lieutenant Lebold stared at him again for a long time, and this time did not refute it again.

"Sir, did you come to me this morning to tell me some good news?" Weiss took the initiative to ask.

The lieutenant sneered: "Didn't Nikolai tell you all last night?" ”

Weiss was shocked, but his face was full of composure: "You mean Nicolas Lebold?" ”

"Who else could there be?"

Weiss neither admitted nor denied it, but asked rhetorically: "You came early in the morning to hear my opinion?" ”

After saying that, Weiss observed that Lieutenant Leibold frowned slightly, it seems that the last thing people who study and ponder the psychology of others all day is to be seen through by others.

When he spoke again, the lieutenant's tone softened a bit: "Last time, you suggested that we focus on investigating the armory keepers, which coincided with our plan, and it turned out that one of the armory managers was really problematic. Now, that guy committed suicide in fear of sin, leaving us with nothing. When I woke up this morning, it occurred to me that since this matter has something to do with you, maybe...... You'll have new clues! ”

The lieutenant's expression made Weiss feel unhappy, so he said coldly: "However, the only thing I have to do with this matter is to give that damn shell to the 8th Artillery Team!" What more clues do you think I can provide? ”

"Is it really the only relationship?" The lieutenant squinted at Weiss.

Weiss was about to refute, when a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his head: This is not right! The conspirators could not have given the 9th artillery the shells in question to the prophet, knowing that they would have just given the shells to the 8th artillery team of Nicolas Lebold, and it was unlikely that they would have made a mistake and sent the deadly shells to the wrong object, but rather ...... Their target was originally the 9th Artillery Squadron!

Thinking of this, Weiss quickly combed through the members of the 9th Artillery Team. Lune Schmidt, Tereng Ferhach, Bluma, Carter Dellens...... As far as he knew, none of the 20 members of this artillery team seemed to be worthy of such a big deal from the conspirators, could it be ...... The person they are going to kill is themselves?

Realizing this possibility, Weiss was really taken aback.

Seeing that Weiss's expression was about to catch up with the drama, Lieutenant Leibold hurriedly asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I ......" Weiss wanted to speak and stopped, his heart was extremely entangled, and even fell into deep anxiety. If he is allowed to stay up all night in such an extreme state, maybe there will really be a situation of white hair overnight!

The lieutenant wasted no time in beating the side drum and said, "You are Nikolai's best friend, and I am my cousin who watched Nikolai grow up, and in this relationship, I am someone you can trust." ”

Weiss's eyes narrowed, and the frame of his vision was still white.

A quarter of it was out of trust in Nikolai, and three-quarters of it was based on the judgment of the friend or foe identification system, and Weiss decided to take a risk. He invited Lieutenant Leibold into the "little black room" and, without a third person, whispered his encounter and what he had seen in the Monamolin Mountains.

After listening to this, Lieutenant Leibald's eyes revealed a complex look that Weiss had never seen before, shock, surprise, doubt, anger, and sadness......

After pondering for a long time, the lieutenant stared straight at Weiss with a pair of blue eyes: "I need some time to confirm what you said, but I believe that you are by no means lying, because no one can make up such a story out of thin air." ”

Wei Stein said: "Sir, this secret has been buried in my heart for more than two months, and I have been suffering mentally day and night, and the reason why I dare not say it easily is not because I am afraid of being investigated, but because I feel that behind this matter, there is a complex relationship that we cannot imagine. As soon as I reported this incident, at some point the news leaked out and let the enemy know that there was an eyewitness like me who survived, not only for me, but also for the entire Clumber-Haysom family! Moreover, if this matter were made public, what kind of panic would it cause? ”

Lieutenant Leibold nodded solemnly, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Long Clumber Haysen. If I have been offended by my previous words and attitudes, I hope you will understand. Also, if there's anything I can help with in the future, just let me know. ”

Don't wait for the future, Weiss has a slightly tricky matter now: "Actually, sir, I do have a reluctant request, I hope you can help, it is a matter of a man's promise and credibility ......"

The lieutenant listened to Weiss with a serious face, and suddenly made a "defeated by you" expression: "You are like this now, and you still want to go back to your sister's birthday party?" ”

Weiss spread his hands: "But I'm innocent!" ”

Lieutenant Leibold thought for a moment: "Let me think about it and give you an answer later." ”

After the gendarmerie officer left, Weiss sat alone in the "little black room", and suddenly felt empty. It seems that he shouldn't be so hasty to tell someone he doesn't know about things related to his family's life, even if this guy is reliable, his boss and his boss's boss may not be reliable! This time, I really entrusted my fate to others!
