Now, in this office in the entire Azure Palace, there are only three of them left.

As a murderous secret police leader, Makarov switched too much psychological construction in just a moment. He made a lot of mental plans for everything that was about to happen, and even thought about fighting a fight, but in the end, he finally turned into a laugh that didn't know whether it was self-defeating or enlightenment, but he didn't know whether it was to Lu Xi, or to himself, or to something else that was no longer there.

Speaking of which, Lu Xi has never worked much in his life (even if he adds the previous life), and Makarov is his (nominal) longest boss. If you change to someone else, you will use this excuse to get close, or even simply rely on the old and sell the old, but Makarov asked frankly but bluntly: "So, Master Russell died at your hands, right?" ”

Oh, but you interrogated me, huh? Lu Xi looked at Makarov with interest, "Even if you kill me immediately, I still have to ask", and then looked at Andreel on the side, the girl was still expressionless, but her hands were tightly clenched on her sleeves, and her hands were a little white.

"Looks like you're in the know. However, this is not unexpected. A head of state, in full view of everyone, but behind it is another identity and so many secrets, it is impossible to bypass you, the head of the secret police. ”

Although he didn't understand what kind of mythical beast the "secret police leader" was, Makarov felt that the other party should be scolding him, but before he had time to laugh at himself, he heard Lu Xi say again: "However, you guessed right." Master Rassell's life was indeed cut off by my own hands. ”

Makarov looked at Andrel, but found that the other party just lowered his eyelids and didn't say a word, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her anymore.

“…… Yes, then this is probably what the master wants to see the most. Makarov's eyes contained a deep sadness, his smile was stiff and awkward, but the whole person's breath seemed to have dropped some heavy burden, and he was relieved at once.

"I don't know much...... Master Rassell's plans, what potential backhands he has, and what allies he has, in fact, only know a vague approximation. Andreel is an emissary between Master Russell and some people or organizations in the outside world, and I am just within the scope of my authority to try to make it as convenient as possible for her. ”

Makarov paused for a moment, then added: "Actually, the nobles of the gate lords have no traces of return, and I got the news more than a month before the incident in Elichar. Knowing that this was not a trivial matter, I did not dare to divulge it, so I reported it directly to Master Rassell, and suggested that he take the sixth ...... of the fortress of Daroshur and Your Excellency, your Fourth Legion was transferred back to Orso in the name of wheel defense, but was stopped by him. He told me to do nothing but transfer the most capable secret histories out of the country in a reasonable name. I understand what the master means, he wants the gate valve faction to jump out and hand over the righteousness to him......"

Lu Xi nodded indifferently: "Indeed, the coup process of the gate valve faction is very successful, it is like playing chess, first of all, it is to lay a net to block all the possibilities of the enemy's counterattack and struggle, and finally the general." However, the mere gate valve aristocracy, of course, there is a group of old monsters that seem to have fermented from the stench of thousands of years, but more of them are waste snacks, and if you want to complete a layout of such a scale, how can you not show your feet at all? Apparently, I said you should have come to see you, but I have wronged you. ”

"You don't have to be sarcastic about me. In order to prevent the gate valve faction from leaking out, I did not inform everyone in the Field Service Agency, but it was only then that the tragic situation of the coup d'état occurred. They trusted me wholeheartedly, but they didn't know that it was me who really drove them to their deaths. Makarov groaned for a moment, his face seemed to twitch, but he couldn't see much of a wave overall: "I am a sinner, and after death I am willing to bear all the heavenly punishments on the scales of the goddess, but ...... I don't regret it. ”

"Huh...... It's a bit of Master Russell's style. You all know that you are doing something bad, but you all have the consciousness to bear all the guilt and punishment for it, but you are all steadfast. No wonder they became fellow travelers. ”

In contrast, although Master Paron also vaguely guessed that Master Russell was not dead, and knew that the latter must have some shady plans, he could only be regarded as an onlooker in the know. Probably because the old headmaster of the Academy of Magic was more like a pure intellectual.

He didn't know what to do, and he didn't even know whether Rassel's trip was right or wrong, so he could only remain silent.

"Master Rassell has also given me an order to wait for the general situation to change, and then ...... Leave him alone, show up at the right time and obey your orders. ”

"If I had been a little late in my march or had been dragged out of the city, you would have found an opportunity to cause a riot in Elichar and receive my army into the city, wouldn't you?"

Makarov agreed with silence. He pondered for a moment and said, "Except for me, all the remaining Secret Imperial Historians don't know. They were all spell casters, but for the sake of the country, they volunteered to undergo rigorous training and perform shady work, but they all had no regrets. I just hope, no, I ask you, to give them the treatment and security they deserve, and if you can, the honor......"

The implication is, please take care of my men, and I can give you my head now.

Lu Xi said in a slow and logical tone like chatting: "There are a lot of surgeries to be performed on national politics, and the Academic Alliance is also needed. However, I didn't have a proper scalpel in my hand. I'd like to merge the Field Service Agency with the Inspectorate's Department, which was useless a hundred years ago, and create a dignified centrally managed law enforcement agency, well, let's call it the FBI...... Hehehehehea. ”

Lu Xi laughed, but unfortunately the other two people present didn't know why at all. Lu Xi once again realized how sad it was that only he was sensible, so he put away his smile and said, "In short, are you interested in being the first director?" Lieutenant General Makarov. ”

Makarov was stunned, even Andrel's double-focus eyes flashed a trace of shock, and her whole person suddenly regained her vividness.

"At the end of the day, you are only a fellow traveler of Master Russell, the Patriot, and nothing else...... Well, I'm not in a position to blame you. I already knew the news that the gate valve faction was going to make trouble, didn't I say anything? In the final analysis, at our level, if we want to do things, we are destined to move further and further away from morality in the traditional sense. I admire you for having the consciousness to bear all this pain and entanglement of cause and effect, even though you have done cruel and unethical deeds. Lu Xi picked up the formal letter paper and quill from the table and began to write.

"This letter will be handed over directly to Master Palong, and he will make another proposal in the Senate tomorrow. When the time comes, the Senate will authorize you, as plenipotentiary of Parliament, to put in order all the internal services, including the Field Service Department, the Ministry of Inspection, and the Garrison. As I would have thought, the Department of Field Support and the Department of Inspectorate would be merged into the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which would be responsible for major national security matters and internal and external intelligence, and you would continue to serve as Director in the future. The garrisons attached to the local governments must be reorganized into a top-down security force, which is called the police department. I've got the headquarters in mind, and it's located in the Oraheran Fortress. ”

Of course, the military and strategic-level weapons on that fortress will have to be demolished, but the military port can be retained. Not only that, but Lu Xi is also going to equip the future police headquarters with some high-speed warships. I wonder if there will be a scene of police driving a high-speed patrol ship to drive a rioter in the Orso Sky District in the future, but isn't this kind of picture still quite emotional?

Or maybe in a dozen years, the police headquarters will be called Orange Holland Field, isn't that more emotional?

"I'll make, well, advise Major Carol Rossiudit to leave the military and take up a post in the police department. After this period of suffering, the people of Elichar have a considerable distrust of the black-skinned guards, but fortunately, Carol has been holding on to Dugu Fort for three months, and she has brushed up on her reputation in Elichar, which can be neutralized. However, after all, he is still young, and it is not realistic to directly lead the emerging police force, so he can only be responsible for the elite anti-riot mobile team. So, I would like to ask you to recommend a candidate for the head of the police department. Lu Xi said again.

He's half a year older than you. In addition, isn't it too much to recommend a candidate, and sooner or later, a department like the police, which is quite powerful at first glance, will still fall into the control of your sworn friend?

Makarov couldn't help but slander like this, but he listened to Lu Xi say in a solemn and even a somewhat serious manner: "I hope that the first person in charge of the Olahlan field is an upright and enthusiastic, well-versed in the law, and at the same time good at managing disciplined forces, and the atmosphere of a department is largely established by its earliest officers. It's really hard to find such talents. I trust your vision, but it takes time to find and communicate. Well, thank you. ”

Lu Xi's attitude is very natural, naturally like a leader arranging the daily work of his subordinates. As a result, Makarov, who was already a little confused, was even more confused, and could only nod mechanically in obedience. It was only after he came out of the office that he slowly came back to his senses, and he felt a little dizzy for a while, and when he reacted, the cold sweat came out at this time.

This transcendent spellcaster, who also had only one epiphany left from the realm of legends, and a master of covert action, actually felt that his legs were a little weak, as if he had to do his best to move his legs. He had to find a secluded place to sit against the wall, take a few deep breaths, and slowly organize his current thoughts.

"So, I'm ...... Missed? How did he keep such a crucial position in my hands? Don't you have to worry about it? I, I'm the one who picked it up by Master Rasser! ”

Makarov was well aware that the reorganized and merged Rausch "Investigation Bureau" would be far stronger in terms of authority and functions than the previous Field Service Office. In a sense, he was even promoted.

If he is not the thickest, most cunning, and most demagogic strategist in history, he must be open-minded and even arrogant.

But no matter which one it is, I really hand over the rest of my life, and it's not lacking.

After Makarov left, Lu Xi knocked the table and looked at Andreil, who was left in the room. Although the latter looked expressionless and motionless, he couldn't hold on in less than a minute, so he simply emptied his eyes and his head, trying his best to disguise himself as a tool rack with no feelings.

"I've worked hard for you these past few days." Lu Xi said suddenly.

Lu Xi is really sincere in thanking Andrel. In the past few days, Cesilio has been busy as his representative, and Andrel has fulfilled it perfectly, and even overfulfilled all the secretarial work. The proposal that will be launched tomorrow in the Senate was drafted by her; A series of personnel appointments and dismissals have been suggested by her; Regarding the organizational plan of the Investigation Bureau and the Police Department, Lu Xi only moved her mouth to give a rough idea, and the details were all completed by herself.

Andreil grimaced as if she wanted to say a few words, but as soon as she spoke, she turned into a wry smile: "...... That's all I can do for you, and for Seyleu. Hey, that girl didn't kill me, she was just going to squeeze out the last bit of my use, right? What a cruel girl! The girl who was so innocent and kind became like this back then, you should be fully responsible, right? ”

"Well, I don't deny it. However, growth is uncontrollable, and with her sense of responsibility, it is the most perfect to become what she is now. At this time, it would be too hypocritical to say 'she doesn't like her current life' Yunyun. ”

"You're right...... You're always right. Andreel sighed and showed an expression of realization: "So, what are you going to do with me?" ”

Before Lu Xi could answer, Andrell continued, "You're not going to kill me, are you?" Otherwise, it would have been done a few days ago. Maybe it's for the sake of Sesilu's face, or maybe I think I'm still a little useful...... But it would be naïve to expect me to be faithful. Whatever you want to do, I just want to remind you that as long as I am alive, I will definitely be your hidden danger, your mortal enemy! ”

"Then you're thinking too highly of your hand. If you don't say it's me, even if it's Sesilus...... How far do you think you are from her? Hasn't that previous battle proven this outcome? Lu Xi sneered.

Andreil was speechless, and had to admit that what the other party said was indeed very reasonable.

"I see, you let me live because you want to keep a clown!" She gritted her teeth and pondered, "My mother must fight with you", but she really couldn't figure out how to fight, and she suddenly became even more depressed.

"So, is there any interest in carrying on Master Russell's legacy?"

Andreel froze in place.
