"How's it going?"

First Yi Shui, then Rachel, the two sat down in front of Qin Lang, and then Rachel asked that question with a sincere concern on his face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Qin Lang knew that she didn't really care about McKinley. In this room, if there was anyone who really cared about McKinley's safety, it was most likely that it would be Yi Shui, followed by O'Connor, but definitely not Rachel.

And, of course, myself. Qin Lang smiled in his heart as he pushed a telegram towards her.

Rachel picked it up and shouted, "Confirmed dead? ”

Next to her, O'Connor affirmed the news. "An hour after Mr. President was shot, doctors pronounced him dead."

"So fast?" Yi Shui opened his mouth, a little incredulous.

Qin Lang shrugged. The fact that McKinley's death was so rapid was indeed unexpected, including that "history" there should have been at least a week between the time of McKinley's death and the time he was shot, and that the cause of his death was the ulceration and infection caused by the bullet that hit him in the abdomen and was not removed by a doctor. But in this new era, everything has changed, and he has not been able to hold out for that long.

"What's going on?" Rachel asked.

"The weapon used by the murderer was a 'anaconda'." Qin Lang changed his posture and then explained: "According to the eyewitness account, he stood in front of McKinley and fired two shots at him, one in the abdomen and the other in the chest. ”

Both Rachel and Yi Shui knew the lethality of the Anaconda.44 Magnum pistol cartridge never disappointed its designers and users. So instead of caring why McKinley died so quickly - which had become a natural outcome - they turned their attention to his assassin.

This time, it was Yi Shui's turn to ask.

"Who's the murderer?"

"One is called Lyon. The young man of Chorgosh [note], anarchist. ”

"Anarchists again?"

Yi Shui once again showed an expression of disbelief. Qin Lang understood his feelings, and anarchists in Europe and the United States had already assassinated several heads of state: Empress Elisabeth of the Austrian Empire three years ago, King Umberto I of Italy last year[note 2], and now President of the United States. These people seem to be slowly becoming a serious threat to society, and their assassination activities are spreading.

At least, Yi Shui and ordinary Americans will feel that way.

"Is there no way to limit the activities of these people?" He complained.

"Not yet." Qin Lang smiled and continued to disclose the information he had, "Moreover, the anarchists in the United States will definitely deny that Mr. Chorgosh is one of them. ”

"Because he assassinated the president?"

"Because they never accepted Him. In fact, they suspected him of being a government agent, and an anarchist newspaper even issued a warning. ”

"How do you know?" Rachel's eyes narrowed. The information Qin Lang had made her suspicious, only a few hours had passed since the assassination, and no matter how powerful the agents and journalists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were, it was impossible for them to unearth so much information about Jorgosh.

It looks like he's been collecting this man's stuff for a long time. This speculation inevitably made Rachel have a further bold guess: it was Qin Lang who secretly planned this assassination.

He had some plans, and those plans demanded McKinley's death.

He had enough motivation and, this kind of thing, he did.

Her eyes made Qin Lang realize that he was talking too much. But, at this point, he had to go on and on -- sometimes the daunting thoughts were good, and other times, they were bad.

"I know what you're thinking, Rachel." Qin Lang smiled kindly—this expression hadn't appeared on his face for a long time, "If I'm going to take out an American president, then I'll choose a retired Marine, give him a sniper rifle, and have him fire from a six-story warehouse building a few hundred yards away......"

"Why a six-story warehouse building?" Yi Shui plugged in, "What does it mean in particular?" ”

"No, just an assumption." Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "And I hope that retired marine is called Li. Harvey. Oswald, who had a tendency to oppose American society and institutions, had preferably been to Russia, and a young Russian wife. ”

"These are also assumptions?"

"Of course."

Qin Lang's expression was very natural, but no one believed him. Whether it was Rachel, Yi Shui, or O'Connor, they all had a sense that he was hinting at something—just no one could guess the answer.

And Qin Lang has already continued.

"However, a retired Marine is not the best choice, because it means that I have to use a lot of force to cover up the truth, collude with law enforcement agencies, investigative agencies, and kill the killer and then the killer...... But that's not something my power can do. He paused deliberately for a few seconds to arouse their greater interest, "So, my best option is to have a mentally ill person who can prove that he was in a state of psychotic attack at the time of the shooting of the president, so that he will not be found guilty and there will be no need to tell the truth in court, and I will only need to put him in a sanatorium again, and the problem will be completely solved." ”

"How do you know that he won't reveal the truth about the incident someday in the future?" Yi Shui asked.

"First, people don't believe the words of a mentally ill person." Qin Lang replied, "Second, a normal person, when he arrives at a sanatorium for the mentally ill, it won't be long before he becomes a real mentally ill person. ”

"yes, that's a great idea." Rachel said with a slight harshness, "The guy who assassinated Garfield wanted to prove that he was a psychopath, but unfortunately the court didn't accept his arguments, so he was hanged." ”

"Because Garfield is dead, and he's an isolated crime." Qin Lang spread out his hands, "If one of these two questions doesn't appear, he will get away with it." ”

"Looks like you've got the whole plan." Rachel crossed his hands and leaned back, "I hope you can make it." ”

"If I'm really going to assassinate a certain president." Qin Lang replied.

She raised an eyebrow. "So, Jorgosh has nothing to do with you."

"That's right."

"But you know him well."

"I can only understand him if I can tell him about his family background, his beliefs, his work. Unfortunately, this is still unknown, information to be investigated. Qin Lang said, and then turned a corner, "However, my intelligence network did mention him, and then I asked someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do some investigations." ”

His intelligence network, the fabled, ubiquitous secret intelligence network, had not been heard from by Rachel and O'Connor for such a while that they had almost forgotten that it existed, even though it did not exist.

And it is no accident that it even mentioned Chorgosh.

"Why would your intelligence network mention this person?" Rachel had a look of eagerness to know.

"When developing a plan for the VIP security service, I decided to create a blacklist of dangerous people to watch out for – after all, our potential customers usually only look out for threats that are in direct contradiction with them. In view of the assassination activities of the anarchists, radicals among them were also on that list, which happened to include Chorgosh. ”

This is, of course, a lie. In fact, he did not draw up any blacklists, and Jorgosh never came into his sights. The answer to the whole question is simple: he knew that McKinley's assassin was an anarchist, but he didn't know his name; He had indeed instructed the Ministry of the Interior to gather information on the anarchists, and the warning in Free Society about Chorgosh was sent back as valuable information by the agents; In the end, Jorgosh assassinated McKinley and was then arrested.

All he did was combine that information.

However, Qin Lang could not make this simple truth public, otherwise he would have to spend more time explaining why he could be so adamant that McKinley would be assassinated by the anarchists.

That would make him look more like the man behind the murder of the president.

Of course, among the four people here, it's not a big deal. With the exception of Yi Shui, each of them did a whole bunch of serious violations of the law, although none of them were as serious as the assassination of the head of state. But Qin Lang didn't want to be burdened with a black cauldron.

He likes to let others take the blame for him, not the other way around.

Even he has a little paltry gratitude for Jorgosh for taking his plans one step further.

Private prisons, as well as private VIP security services that have been prepared for a long time. The moment he conceived the launch of the business, Qin Lang included McKinley's death in his propaganda plan, after all, for Americans, whether it is Europe or China, they are all too far away, and the murder there cannot cause them to panic in the slightest, even if one of the dead is the queen of Austria and the other is the king of Italy, but the death of the president of the United States can make many people nervous.

Although not all upper-class people will strengthen their defenses, and not all upper-class people who decide to strengthen their defenses will choose the services provided by UMBRELLA, UMBRELLA will certainly get quite a few contracts.

It may also be possible to get a training contract from the Secretariat Bureau.

This is a small expectation of his.

Agents of the Ministry of Finance have no experience in carrying out security tasks. Before Washington designated the Secret Service to be in charge of the president's guards, their mission was to combat the crime of manufacturing, selling, and using counterfeit banknotes. In order to fulfill their new mission, they need the guidance of professionals.

And it's comprehensive guidance, from the organizational structure, the selection and training of personnel to the safe deployment of each operation, all aspects, and even a badge can be designed for the secretarial service.

He had already thought of the pattern of the coat of arms, the SS logo composed of two lightning bolts, and there was no more ideal choice. Although in another era the abbreviation stood for Schutzstaffel, in this era it could have stood for Secret-Service.

Qin Lang wanted to do this because it was fun and cool.

Of course, to achieve this goal, to get a contract from the Ministry of Finance, he had to make some efforts. Qin Lang felt that he should go east again, first Ohio, then New York, and finally Washington.

In the name of attending McKinley's funeral [Note 3].

Then he discussed with the Wall Street moguls two issues that Harriman had not had time to discuss with him - and got their support.

Finally got a contract in Washington.

Qin Lang conceived his new plan, completely immersed in it, until Rachel knocked the table.

"So," she asked, "Roosevelt has been sworn in as president?" ”

"No, maybe it will have to wait until tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or later." Qin Lang said, "Our vice president may be on his way here, or somewhere else. In fact, I'm not sure if he's been informed of it. ”

"He's coming here?" Rachel wondered, "What does that mean?" ”

Qin Lang nodded to O'Connor, so he explained everything to her.

"So that guy named Jorgosh solved a little trouble for us again?" She thought for a moment and commented sarcastically, "He's such a good guy." ”

"Yes," Qin Lang agreed, "he is a good man[Note 4]. ”
