It didn't take long for remote projections of Han Xiao, Krotty, and Xie Luo to appear in the office.

"Your Excellency."

The three of them bowed their heads and gestured.

Ulanriel nodded, pointed to the report on the virtual screen, and said straight to the point: "This is the result of your work during this time?" I'm not very satisfied, you know I'm not looking for this kind of evidence to fool outsiders. ”

Sherlock stepped forward and said stubbornly: "Your Excellency, we have been trying to track down the whereabouts of the real murderer, but the enemy has no flaws, we have no clue, it just so happened that we found out that the Super Star Cluster Alliance and McNison framed each other, so ......"

He explained the recent work of the task force, and to put it simply, there was no real clue, and a large number of various forged evidence that confused the public was collected.

Seeing that the outside world is becoming more and more suspicious, coupled with the pressure and hints from the high-level, in desperation, Sherlock can only extract a part of these fake clues and use his reasoning and analysis ability to form a self-consistent chain of evidence, although it is fake, but after his analysis and sorting, it sounds like the real thing.

Ulanriel frowned, "Give me an exact explanation, how long do you think it will take to find the real culprit." ”

“…… At present, it seems that there is no way forward, unless a breakthrough is found. Sherlock shook his head helplessly.

"You two both think the same thing?" Ulanriel turned his head.

Cloti's face sank, and he didn't speak, but nodded slowly.

Han Xiao spread his hands and made a look of "I can't do anything", and said:

"The person who attacked Gaode was very cunning and left no flaws, even I had no clue, and according to the current state of affairs, I think the empire can only look at the problem from a different angle, consider it from the perspective of interests, and need to find a suitable person to take the blame, so as to temporarily calm the turmoil, the super star cluster is the most suitable...... And they are in a hurry to get rid of their crimes, and there are still some cats in them, which is not wronged against them. ”

Ulanriel shook his head and said, "But there must be people in the outside world who will see through our plans, and the Super Star Cluster will not easily admit guilt, which is ...... for the Empire."

"I know your concerns, it's just that it doesn't matter." Han Xiao interrupted her words and spoke eloquently: "When Gaode is attacked, the empire loses, it is already the party that suffers, and it can only try its best to redeem it, and now what the empire needs most is the result, showing attitude and force, you can't seal other people's mouths, but you can seal other people's courage, so that even if someone mocks, those who should be afraid will still be afraid, and the goal will be achieved." ”

"But in this way, wouldn't the real murderer die of laughter when he saw that the empire had hit the wrong person? Will some people with ulterior motives think that the empire can be used because of this? Ulanriel said in a deep voice.

This is what she is worried about, once the outside world sees through the Empire's practices, there will be some people who feel that the Empire is easy to deceive, which also reduces the prestige of the Empire.

"That's no way, the lesser of two evils, there has to be a trade-off, you can't always do things according to your preferences, right?" Han Xiao's face was as thick as armor, and he smiled: "Besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing, it can paralyze the real murderer and give him a chance to show his feet, maybe one day, it will bring us a breakthrough." ”

The senior intelligence official who was watching also chimed in: "Your Excellency Blackstar is right, we always have to make a choice. ”

Ulanriel sighed and signed the order, "Then do it." ”

In fact, this proposal appeared on his desk, and Ulan Ruil understood that this was the silent consensus of the first-level high-level leaders of the empire, and she only needed to sign it. The Führer can't do whatever she wants, and she is also in the midst of compromise and checks and balances, she is about to leave office, and it is impossible for her to go her own way.

Signing the order, Ulanriel shook his head with some relief.

"It seems that the task of finding the real culprit can only be handed over to the next head of state, but fortunately, I can make it a lot easier."

At this time, Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he spoke: "Actually, we have fallen into inertial thinking, there is another possibility for Gao De's disappearance, I don't know if the empire has considered it?" ”

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at it.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. "Ulanriel is interested.

"You say, is it possible that this is Gaode's own behavior, taking the initiative to cheat and play missing?"

Hearing this, the senior official of the intelligence department couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Excellency Black Star, we have made this assumption a long time ago, and the final judgment is impossible, Gao De has no such motive." ”

"I don't think so." Han Xiao shook his head, "The lineage may not be completely loyal, is it possible that he just wants to use the resources of the empire to step into the super A level, and then cheat his death and jump out of the fence of the camp and remain incognito." ”

After speaking, he glanced at everyone vaguely, took the disapproving expressions of several people into his eyes, and immediately added:

"Of course, I'm just judging it out of logic, and I don't know Gao De's origin and life experience, so naturally I won't fully believe him, anyway, in my eyes, this kind of thing is not impossible to happen, isn't there an example in history."

Sherlock pondered, "Well, your suspicions are valid, Gao De's time in the service of the Empire is still too short. ”

Ulanriel glared at him, and opened his mouth in an old official tone: "You don't have to worry about it, the empire has its own system for the review of the lineage, and it will not include anyone with doubts, and the empire absolutely trusts the loyalty of the lineage......"

Han Xiao glanced at the expressionless Crottie, and knew that Ulan Ruier didn't want to continue the topic here.

He shook his head and smiled, pretending to be casual, "Okay, I'm just mentioning it casually." ”

Xie Luo reluctantly asked: "I'm more curious, why do you have the idea of Gao De cheating to death?" There must be some kind of factor that makes you think this way, do you think he is suspicious somewhere? ”

Han Xiao was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

This thick-eyed and big-eyed guy likes to praise so much? I don't know whether to say that you are curious, or whether to say that you don't pay attention to the occasion of speaking, and don't you see that the senior imperial intelligence official next to you is already making eyes.

Han Xiao suddenly realized that this was an opportunity with rhythm, rolled his eyes, coughed pretendedly, and said:

"On the one hand, I can't find any clues, it's too clean, not like an outsider attack, and on the other hand, it's ...... It's not that Gao De showed any suspicions, but I happened to know a guy who succeeded in cheating, so I thought about it. ”

"Who's that?" Sherlock was curious.

"This person is also famous, you must know him, it is the Sorojinbei of the Infinite Consortium."

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Han Xiao said to himself:

"I discovered his little secret by coincidence, he is not as weak as he seems, I feel threatened from him, his strength may not be inferior to mine, but he has always shown himself as a weakling, and I don't know what he is trying to do. Moreover, the real age of his soul seems to be far beyond now, I tested him, and found that he may be a super A-level in history, suspected of using the method of fraud to hide his name until now......"

He concealed some of the key information, and used ambiguous words to expose Sorokin's old background, which made several people suspicious.

"How do you know?" Ulanriel wondered.

"This involves a certain cosmic artifact that I got not long ago, and it works wonders in the soul realm." Han Xiao smiled, without a specific explanation, and pretended to be unfathomable.

Ulan Ruier knew that Han Xiao didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask, thinking of Sorokin's previous behavior, he said thoughtfully: "If this is true, then Sorokin's intentions are very big, and you have to adjust your attitude towards him......

She wouldn't believe it right away, but Han Xiao had a lot of political assets, and even had the strange bonus of [Civilization Leader Assassin], and it was more important to say it clearly.

Ulanreel plans to investigate Sorokin privately, and compared to Blackstar, Sorokin is an outsider.

Seeing this, Han Xiao stopped immediately, not wanting to expose too much, as long as he aroused the empire's interest in Sorokin.

This is the benefit of Shangda Tianting, today happened to be the right time, and he directly gave Sorokin eye medicine in front of the empire.

After all, the Super Star Cluster's backing is only an expedient measure for the empire, and the matter will continue to look for murderers in the future, and the matter is not over, so Han Xiao really wants to take the opportunity to get Sorokin.

This guy is proficient in the Dao of Gou Zhi, who can bend and stretch, he hides too deeply, and he doesn't know what he is planning, if he can expose him, so that he can't continue to pretend to be a rookie, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

There is such a thing as Gaode, once Sorokin's strength is exposed, he will become the object of suspicion.

Although in the eyes of Technician Han, Suo Zai has no motive for committing the crime, but at least he can disgust this dog thing...... Hmph, let him conspire and calculate Lao Tzu behind his back every day, when our little book is in vain?!

"Okay, that's it, I don't have anything to ask, if nothing else......"

Ulan Ruier was about to end the communication, but before he could finish speaking, he heard Han Xiao speak again.

"Wait a minute, there's one last thing."

“…… You said. Ulanriel gritted his teeth secretly.

She thought that Han Xiao was going to make some small report again, but she saw that Han Xiao suddenly straightened his face, looked serious, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, I am now speaking to you in my capacity as the vice president of the Super A-Class Association, I support the Empire's actions against the Super Star Cluster this time, but I hope that this matter will not implicate the members of the Association."

Hearing this, several people present perked up, glanced at Han Xiao in surprise, and their faces became serious.

"Go on." Ulanreal's eyes narrowed.

"I believe we all know that there is a descendant of the super star cluster hidden in the neutral super A-class, and I support the empire's targeting of the super star cluster this time, but I don't want the super A-class of the super star cluster to also be in the ranks of the empire's revenge. I'm not shielding the murderers, but I'm asking the Empire not to anger some neutral and suspected supercluster super-A-class, maybe there are murderers among them, but they are protected by the association until the real culprits are proven. ”

Han Xiao's expression was solemn, and he had a posture of fighting with reason even if he did not hesitate to offend the empire.

Ulanriel and the others immediately understood what he meant, Black Star knew the ins and outs, understood how the evidence came from, although he supported the Empire's actions, he didn't want it to become an excuse for the Empire to take a super A-level knife, and take precautions.

One yard is one yard, you can play a super star cluster, and you can't implicate other unrelated super A grades!

The transformation of identity is seamless, one second he is still an ally for the empire, and the next second he becomes the vice president of the super A-level association, seeking his position in his position.

"You're really watertight." Ulanriel's eyes were complicated.

"If I don't speak for the association, after the word spreads, will I, the vice president, still be able to do it?" Han Xiao didn't care.

“…… Okay, I know, the Empire's target is limited to the forces of the Super Star Cluster Alliance, and until we obtain perfect evidence, we will not attack their hidden descendants of the Super A-class, after all, the Association has also expressed its stance to assist us. ”

Ulanriel sighed.

Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled again, thought about it, and said:

"Okay, if the empire doesn't mind, cooperate with me to publicize it, let's just say that the empire originally wanted to track down the whereabouts of the neutral super A-class, and even conduct a forced interrogation, but I argued with the empire to defend the members of the association, and finally persuaded the empire, dispelled the empire's idea, and highlighted my role in this."

“……”

Although several people did not speak, their eyes revealed the same information.

Wow, you're so welcome, and you're a shameless thief!

“…… Yes. ”

Ulan Ruier took a deep breath and calmed down, otherwise she couldn't help but grab the thermos cup on the table and smash it at Han Xiao.

Despite the slander, she still decided to promote it and increase Blackstar's voice and prestige in the association. The Black Star presides over the association, and the benefits to the empire outweigh the disadvantages, and this kind of prestige is not cheap, who else can be cheap.

After receiving a definite answer, Han Xiao smiled and retired.

He lifted the remote projection and returned to the office where the main body was located, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"My rhythm has finally completely deviated from the path of the empire......"

Han Xiao's mood was much lighter.

Fortunately, he had enough political assets to make it easier for the empire to accept his opinions.

If it weren't for the mutual explosion of McNison and the supercluster, he would have to work a little harder, and now it is equivalent to directly picking up the ready-made ones and using the topic to play, it can be said that the two sides helped him and made things a lot easier, directly grasping the main contradiction, without the need for bells and whistles.

And it can also brush a wave of the prestige of the association, so that members can see the vice president in order to safeguard the interests of the association, do not hesitate to fight with the empire on the basis of reason "responsibility", as the saying goes, a leader who does not fight for the interests of his subordinates is not a good leader, this wave is estimated to convince more people to see the benefits of their own power.

Han Xiao couldn't say how many birds this stone hit, he only knew that the negative impact of Gao De's attack had been resolved a lot by himself, and when the empire announced that it would take action against the super star cluster, the matter should be over for the time being.

As for other unknown chain reactions, he can only wait and see.

……

On the other side, only Ulanriel and Clotty were left in the Führer's office.

Ulanriel subconsciously pinched his fingers, his face hesitated, and after a long while, he whispered:

"Do you think he'll be the next Machine?"

Clotti looked at her and shook her head.

"He is a hundred times more dangerous than the Nation of Machines."
