Mr. Roel was lying in a hospital bed, his face horribly pale, with several tubes in his mouth to help him maintain the minimum needs of life.

Luckily, the bullet went through his chest, and according to the doctors, it was only a centimeter away from his heart. It can be seen that the gunman is very professional, because many people don't know where the human heart is, and it is impossible to shoot so accurately in a hurry. Unfortunately, this time the professional gunslinger has lost his professional name, because he did not succeed in taking out Mr. Roel.

An injury like this is definitely not a short time to recover, it will take at least a week to get a little better, and it will take three to five months to return to a slightly worse than normal state, which is also a blessing in misfortune, at least he is still alive.

Outside the ward was crowded with police, among whom were several military personnel. An attack outside the city hall gate in the heart of the city has already alarmed the center of the empire. The Ministry of Defense has dispatched a team to the area ready to respond to a possible recurrence of the attack, while also investigating what caused today's tragedy.

In the office of the hospital director, Memnon sat in the director's chair with a gloomy face, and the town hall, including the state government and the military, was here. Today's attack killed 19 innocent citizens and injured more than 100 others. But one thing that everyone sitting here knows is that this is definitely not a shooting for the sake of killing, as if to warn some people about it.

The gunmen could have fired at the upper bodies of the people in the crowd, but they aimed at the legs, and the nineteen unlucky ones didn't die from direct fire, most of them from ricochets.

Now public opinion is directed at Memnon, believing that Memnon is the most likely mastermind behind the attack, and that he created the attack in order to pay less or even no more than two million in compensation. This is also common in the West, and if Memnon pays the money, it means that he has accepted it, and at once someone will copy Mr. Roel's method. You can make one or two million by making a mining disaster, and if the scale of the mining disaster is larger and the death toll is higher, will you be able to make more money?

No one has ever overestimated the moral and ethical index of mine owners, and these guys who dare to gamble their own lives and other people's lives for the sake of money are not lacking in the spirit of "risk-taking" at all. Why not try to take a chance when you have nothing left for bankruptcy? That's why people think that Memnon is behind it, and he wants to use this method to warn others that some money is not so easy to get and will be hot.

In the room, a military intelligence officer stood across from his desk, he looked at Memnon with a serious expression, "Mr. Memnon, I need your help, please tell me who you think is most likely to cause this attack? The Ministry of Defense and the Cabinet are very concerned about this matter, and we had better be able to resolve this matter before the situation escalates!"

This soldier is a member of the intelligence department of the Ministry of Defense, this department is called the National Security and Security Committee, and its main responsibility is to detect and annihilate any intelligence department that attempts to create military operations within the empire, create separatist acts, and acts of violence including but not limited to armed insurrections, armed uprisings, etc. Something like what happened today has obviously been listed as a threat to national security, and the Ministry of Defense is very shocked, and the Prime Minister His Excellency Maggs is also very angry.

This is a challenge to the order of the empire and a vain attempt to create an atmosphere of terror to interfere with the normal operation of the empire, which is absolutely intolerable.

Mennon pursed his lips and looked down at his hands on the table, and after a while, he slowly raised his head, "I only think of three possible forces now that have the strength to cause this attack......", the soldier nodded, and the deputy next to him had already begun to prepare the record, motioning for him to continue, "The first force, the Western Mining Society." The Western Mining Guild gathers most of the mine owners in the west, and they have been trying to compete with the government, and I'm sure you and your assistants have heard that each mining area is an independent kingdom. ”

"They apply their own laws in their own mining areas, they transform their territory according to their will, and they also have a large number of armed men. I have negotiated with the Western Mining Association about the integration of the mine protection team and the abolition of private arming, but I have met with strong opposition, which may be used as a reference. ”

"The second force, the Earth God Cult. You may not know that in the western part of the country, the power of the Cult of the Earth God is equal to, or even more than, the official power. They have a large number of secret members, and it is highly likely that among us here are priests of the Earth God Cult. My 'Three Guarantees Policy' and other benefits have hurt the interests of the Earth God Cult, and I have made more people join the Empire's camp, which has hurt the fundamental interests of this mysterious religion, and the Earth God Sect has such strength. ”

"You know, the gunman who shot Mr. Roel was actually one of my secretaries, who should have been my most trusted person, but he betrayed me!"

"The third force ......," a hint of gloom flashed in Memnon's eyes, "I don't know if you've heard of a young man named Doolin, who runs a huge smuggling network on the East Coast, and was mayor of Otis City some time ago, and moved west after being deposed. I'm not sure if he had such a motive, but if there was one way to say that the attack could be carried out, he might be in one direction. He has enough people, enough money and influence, including weapons and everything, he has it. ”

"For the time being, I can only think of these three forces or individuals who may and have the ability to commit this tragedy, and I also hope that you can restore the truth of the matter as soon as possible, and give me, the City Hall and the Move Forward Party a fair result!"

In Memnon's opinion, the most likely person to do this kind of thing is most likely that the bastard Durin, who is as neurotic as his Lao Tzu, has definitely a problem with his brain, and the whole family has inherited a crazy factor from top to bottom.

He remembered very well that many years ago they had just made a big deal - to put it more colloquially, by killing a nobleman, plundering the nobleman's property, and inciting a slave revolt in that nobleman's domain. When they returned to the makeshift camp and recruited a merchant who had been working with them for more than two years to sell the stolen goods, the merchant only made a joke, and the guy who had a close working relationship with the Order was sent to Heaven by Mr. Kersma.

At that time, when the property was being counted, I don't know who asked what was the most valuable thing in the camp, the merchant smiled and said that of course Mr. Kersma's mask was the most valuable. Almost everyone wanted to see what kind of face was under the mask, and then there was a hole in his head.

Durin must have inherited Mr. Kerma's crazy bloodline, and it is very likely that this was really done by him, knowing that Mr. Kerma has always been unhappy with him, and this emotion is likely to be contagious to Doolin.

But...... , this thing really wasn't done by Durin.

Durin was also shocked when he found out, he really wanted to kill Memnon for two reasons. The first reason is that Memnon planned and carried out the kidnapping of Alyssa and his son, and although he was ultimately thwarted by Mr. Kersma, he did it anyway! So Durin must have taken revenge, and if this hatred is not revenged, Mr. Kersma will look down on him, and everyone he knows will look down on him.

The second reason is, of course, Mr. Kersma's reason, the old gentleman wants Memnon to die, so as Mr. Kersma's child, it is natural that Durin should take this responsibility and help the old gentleman fulfill his wishes.

But this matter is really not his hand, and he also hopes that Memnon can live a little longer and continue to stand on the bright side to shield him from the wind and rain. Before he completed the layout of the west, Memnon was the most suitable target, and all the shells and arrows would fly towards him, so that Durin could complete his plans in the west as soon as possible without worrying about anyone breaking his pace.

Memnon was analyzing who was most likely responsible for this, and Doolin was also thinking about who would be most powerful in such an attack. He also encountered many intricate and even bizarre things in the years in the dream, and the big guy he had been following in the dream said that any active behavior is purposeful, if you don't know who did a certain thing, then think about who is most beneficial to the result of this thing, and who is the most hurtful.

If the attack were placed entirely in the sequence of events that had taken place in the west during this time, there would be no doubt that the effect of the attack would have been most beneficial to Memnon. He was able to portray himself as an innocent while restraining the impulse of greedy mine owners to use him as an ATM. People were saying that Memnon had instigated this, but soon everyone would change their minds, because the murderer would not show his innocence to the crowd with a bloody knife that someone had killed and put into Memnon's hands.

People who think they are smart will always over-interpret superficial things and then look for some arguments that they think are correct to show others.

So who did this attack hurt the most?

Undoubtedly, it is also Mr. Memnon, which puts the previous speculation into a contradictory situation, could there be another biggest beneficiary in addition to this matter?

Suddenly something occurred to Durin, and he rolled his eyes and began to consider whether this matter could bring some benefit to himself as well.

Maybe the plan he originally set could be changed a little!
