Chapter 121: Planning
"Captain, the identities of those five followers have been ascertained."
In the office, Lan stood respectfully at Javier's desk, reporting to the latter the results of the Shadow's investigation.
Hearing this, Javier put down his pen, temporarily stopped what he was doing, and looked up with interest.
"Oh, how did it turn out?"
"Their origins are indeed not small...... A swordsman who kills people and sacrifices blood, a guilty singer, a pirate in the southern islands, an alchemist obsessed with human experiments, and ...... The clown of the serial killer is the felony who is at the top of the list of wanted people in various countries. β
Lan said in a flat voice, but Javier still heard a strong emotional color in a certain word, like a raging black flame, which was completely different from the way Lan usually felt it.
Yes, Joker.
Javier remembered it.
"This serial killer is the same enemy you're looking for?"
"Yes, he is the murderer of my students, I will never admit my mistake."
Lan nodded, her voice was still calm, and her face didn't show anything unusual, but her eyes were buried deep in the shadows, which made it difficult to see.
Javier could feel the flames of revenge hidden in his calm, so he sighed: "Well, then this guy will be left to you to deal with." β
"Thank you, Captain." Lan bowed solemnly.
Javier waved his hand: "Between companions, why say thank you?" The fact that you let go of the burden in your heart as soon as possible will also do more good than harm to me. β
"Yes."
Since the last time he had a frank conversation with Lan, Lan has not hidden anything about himself.
Javier, including everyone in "Falcon", knows about Ran's past.
The brutal murder of the students, the suppression of news in order to protect the reputation of law and order, the determination to change the status quo of the empire, the process of obtaining the imperial tool, and finally defecting to Javier......
No matter how big or small, tell the story.
From Lan's account, Javier could sense his strong purpose, he worked for himself, perhaps his mind was not pure, and he probably meant to use his own position.
But these are not important, people are selfish, and Javier also has them, and saints and nothing exist in this world.
As long as Lan has this ability, Javier doesn't mind being his pedal at all.
Rather than letting the incompetent disrupt the order, it is better to make way for the talented, which is the fundamental law for the stability and prosperity of the country.
"By the way, how's that kid Shira?"
Javier took a sip of the tea on the table, held the teacup, and asked casually.
"Although he was tortured every day, his attitude was still very resolute, refusing to sign the minister's incriminating evidence." Lan replied.
That day, after Javier dragged Shira back to the garrison, he threw him into a cell where he was served with torture instruments every day.
Xavier also knew about the bad things that Sheila had done before, and for such a scumbag, his usual approach was to kill him directly, but in view of Sheila's special status, Xavier still decided to spare his life for the time being.
Isn't this because he is afraid of the minister, and he has killed fewer of Ornest's connections? Not bad for this one. It's just that Sheila is the son of a minister, and this identity has a lot to do, and it would be too wasteful to kill it easily.
Now, the crusade against the minister is fully prepared, and it is no problem to take action against Earnest at any time.
But there is still an urgent need to solve the problem.
Fighting life and death in the dark aside, when it comes to the fight on the surface, everyone must follow some default rules.
Whether you want to impeach, suppress political opponents, or even reverse black and white, you must stand on the side of reason, that is, to occupy the name of righteousness.
Earnest was a master of this tactic, so no one in the court dared to disobey him, and until Jolly's return, he was always the one who was rampant.
In the same way, if Javier wants to move Ornest, he must also hold his handle, and if he can't do this, Javier can only stand still.
Earnest has been rampant in the government and the opposition for many years, and his heart is deep, although he has committed countless evil deeds, he is also extremely cautious, and almost all the incriminating evidence against him has been dealt with cleanly, and he really can't find an excuse to deal with him for a while.
But now the situation has changed again, because Sheila, the idiot, suddenly appeared and unknowingly challenged Javier, and then was beaten to his stomach...... If he didn't do something, Javier himself felt that he couldn't afford this great opportunity.
As long as Sylla's testimony can be obtained, the minister's guilt will be sufficiently convincing to justify the official start of the war.
In other words, Sheila was the trigger, the trigger for the two sides to go to war.
"Resolute? I think he still has illusions that the minister can get him out...... Oh, that's a joke. β
Javier sneered, gently put down the teacup, and touched his chin, as if thinking about something.
"In fact, the minister did send people to protest and demand that the captain release his son immediately." Lan said.
Xavier snorted: "Don't pay attention to it, this old bastard is just pretending, he actually knows that I will never let people go, and besides, as a civil servant, he can't take care of my business." β
"So, do you need to tighten the security of the prison?" Lan inquired earnestly.
"You're worried that Earnest will send someone to rob the prison? No, you're overthinking that. Javier smiled and shook his head, "His son has committed such a big crime as hiding the criminal, and the evidence is conclusive." Even if he could be saved, it would only put him in a disadvantageous situation...... If he was really stupid enough to do such a thing, it would save me a lot of effort. β
"What does the captain mean...... Will the minister take Sheila as an outcast, give up? Lan said hesitantly.
"Earnest is such a fellow, and there is nothing surprising that he can do the same thing in such a thing that will cause him to burn himself, and he can also give up his son in order to get rid of the relationship."
At this, Xavier paused, and then his eyes moved slightly, as if he had thought of some good idea.
"By the way, you can find a chance to tell Sheila about this, knowing that he has become an outcast, I think his expression will be wonderful. And if a person loses hope, he is not far from the collapse of the psychological defense. β
"I know what to do." Lan nodded thoughtfully.
"In addition, if you ask two professional torture officers from Estes to come over, the torture methods of the garrison are indeed too inadequate, and it is no wonder that Sheila is not painful...... Under the double torture of physical and psychological torture, I think it won't be long before he will obediently cooperate. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Huh? Lan, what's wrong with you? β
ββ¦β¦ No, I was just thinking that the captain seemed to have a knack for torture. β
"I'm a little interested, so I've dabbled in a bit."
ββ¦β¦ I see. β
Lan nodded with difficulty, his expression a little subtle.
"Then, after Sheila signed and postponed, the final disposition is ......"
Javier waved his hand: "Naturally, he was killed, if it weren't for the fact that he was still a little useful, who would keep him for so long." β
"I see."
Seeing that Lan looked like he knew everything in his chest, and Javier, who knew his ability, bowed his head slightly, so he relieved himself to hand over the matter of Sheila to him.
Immediately afterward, Javier left his desk, walked to the weapon rack by the wall, and removed the riding gun he had placed thereβthe riotbuster.
The heavy cavalry spear danced slightly, and the sharp edge exuded a chill, just like Javier's cold eyes at this time.
"Well, then, it's almost time to get down to business." He said, "Lan, immediately send out the garrison, and then call the other members of the Falcon...... We're going to meet the foreign criminals for a while. β
