Chapter 526: Trouble
In the face of the arrogance and rudeness of the police, Leo naturally had no intention of complying, he just stood on the ground and looked at the other party expressionlessly, without saying anything.
Seeing Leo's attitude, the policeman in charge became very annoyed, but he was not a stupid person, because he knew very well that the people who could live in this hotel and live on this floor were definitely not ordinary civilians, even if he had the impression that there was no powerful person surnamed Dodd in the Kingdom of England.
So he said a little more patiently, "Mr. Leo, do you know the deputy envoy of the Parnier Mission, Master Pasa Kagulan?"
Leo frowned slightly when he heard the police's questioning, he was still wondering what caused these ordinary policemen to come to the door.
He had thought that something had gone wrong on Frank Forson's side, and that someone didn't want him to come into contact with the artifact of eternal wisdom, so he sent someone to call for trouble.
He also thought that it might be the old capitalists he had offended in the process of establishing the United Machinery Group, and they wanted to take the opportunity of his departure from Port Set to make trouble for him and make him trapped in Durin, while they could take the opportunity to attack the United Machinery Group.
There were also some other possible reasons that had also come to his mind, but he never thought that it would be related to Passa Kagulan, whom he had only met during the day.
So, he said truthfully: "Yes, I know Mr. Passa Kagoulam, and I met him today and no, it should have been yesterday afternoon, and I talked with him for a while. β
"......What is your relationship with Lord Passa Kagulan?" the policeman asked again.
Leo said matter-of-factly: "I used to study with Rembrandt for a while, and Passa Kaguran was also a student of Rembrandt. β
"Old man Rembrandt?" The police captain was stunned and asked, "Is that old man Rembrandt?"
"Are there any other old Rembrandts in this world?" asked Leo rhetorically.
After hearing this, the police captain secretly congratulated himself in his heart that he was not impulsive just now, otherwise, he would probably be unlucky.
The Kingdom of England has always had a strong affection and respect for the old man Rembrandt, the world's top university scholar, and every time the old man came to give lectures to the royal students of the Kingdom of England, the king of England would inevitably bring his family to attend the lecture in person, like an ordinary student.
Although Leo himself said that he had studied with the old man Rembrandt for a while, and the police captain did not know whether what the other party said was true, it was better to be cautious about this kind of thing, if it was true, then he would definitely be unlucky afterwards.
So at this time, the police captain withdrew the baton in his hand into the holster on his waist, but he was also very careful and did not fully believe Leo's words, so he did not signal his subordinates around him to withdraw their weapons and relax their vigilance.
"I'm very sorry, I didn't know in advance that you were a student of Old Man Rembrandt, and your behavior was a little rough, so please don't mind. The police captain lowered his posture a little and said.
Leo was not at all interested in the police captain's apology, he was interested in what had happened to Pasa Kaguran and that it had involved him.
So, he asked the police captain directly, "What is the case of Pasa Kagulan that will make you come to me?"
Hearing Leo's inquiry, the police captain hesitated slightly, but still revealed: "Lord Passa Kagulan was killed not long ago, and this matter involves the relationship between the two countries, so today we will send someone to the headquarters for questioning of all the people who have come into contact with Lord Passa Kagulan, and Your Excellency is one of them." β
"Passa Kagulan is dead?" Leo had a look of surprise on his face, no doubt that the news had been completely unexpected, and he asked, "How did he die?"
The police captain looked embarrassed and said, "This ...... I'm sorry, but if you want to know more details, you can go to our headquarters with us, and I'm sure someone there can answer your questions. β
"Okay, I'll go with you to the police headquarters. As he spoke, Leo reached out and picked up the coat that hung on a rack by the door, put on his hat, and walked out of the room.
The captain of the police was a little surprised that Leo happily agreed to his request, and then smiled again, and also breathed a sigh of relief, for him, all he had to do was bring Leo back to the headquarters,
Led by the police, Leo who came out of the hotel suddenly said to the police captain beside him: "Please send someone to the Special Bureau to find the director of the Special Bureau, Frank Forson, and tell him that I have gone to the police headquarters, so that he can look for me there if he has something." β
"Okay, I'll send someone to make a special ......" Of course, the police captain who had relaxed would not refuse Leo's request, and just as he was about to agree, what he was saying suddenly stopped, and his expression froze, with a panicked fear in his eyes, his voice trembled slightly, and confirmed: "The place you just mentioned is the Special Bureau?"
"Yes, it's the Special Bureau. Leo said.
When the police captain heard this, he suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
In the minds of the other police officers around, the Special Bureau is just an intelligence organization controlled by the kingdom, but in the heart of the police captain, the Special Bureau is a concentration of monsters, he knows very well what the Special Bureau does, and he also knows who is there, he has seen those strange things beyond his cognition more than once, and every time such things break out, there will be bloody scenes that are enough for normal people to be scared to death after seeing them, and he prayed more than once not to see those strange cases and strange people again.
Now the person next to him has a relationship with the director of the Special Bureau, which makes the police captain can't help but guess that Leo is also a monster.
This made him glad that he hadn't been rough as soon as he came up, otherwise, he and his men might have become part of that weird and bloody scene.
At the same time, he sent someone to the Special Bureau at Leo's request, informed the Director of the Special Bureau of Leo's matter, and flattered Leo into his carriage, not at all like he was dealing with a suspect in a case.
As for Leo, who is the object of flattery, he does not pay attention to the actions of the police captain, but thinks about the death of Passa Cagulan.
In Leo's opinion, Passa Kagulan's death was a bit strange, because his paranormal perception had not sensed any noteworthy energy fluctuations in the vicinity of the city of Turin beforehand.
Pasa Kagulan is a very rare beast soul warrior in the Moisan continent, if he is attacked, he will inevitably fight back immediately, and judging by the fighting style and strength of the beast soul warrior in the record, the movement of the battle will definitely not be small, and it is impossible to detect it with Leo's supernormal perception.
Therefore, Leo guessed that Pasa Kagulan might have died very suddenly, so suddenly that he didn't even have time to use the power of the Beast Soul Warrior, and before activating the power of the Beast Soul Warrior, he was only a little stronger than ordinary people.
It would be reasonable if Passa Kagulan was just a person, and he was suddenly attacked, and he didn't have time to use the powerful power in his body, after all, no matter how vigilant a person is, it is impossible to be on alert forever, and for a powerful killer who is proficient in assassination, as long as the target is a little relaxed, they can seize this opportunity and kill the opponent with one blow.
But the problem is that Passa Kagulan is the deputy envoy of the mission, and there are always people around him who secretly protect him, just like during the day, when he and Pasa Kagulan talk, there are more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him, and the closest secret protector to the bench they are on is just across the park path.
If someone attacks Pasa Kaguran, as long as Pasa Kagulan blocks it slightly, there will definitely be a protector to stop the assassin, and he may even use his body to block the weapon that stabs Pasa Kaguran, giving Pasa Kagulan enough time to activate the power of the beast soul warrior, and then there will definitely be a big commotion.
Therefore, when Passa Kagulan died, there must be no protector by his side, and only the place where Passa Kagulan lives now meets this condition, after all, no one wants to sleep with someone or several people staring.
Just when Leo was thinking about things, the carriage had stopped at the police headquarters, and the police captain immediately got out of the car and helped Leo open the car door like a servant, and then after Leo got out of the car, he led Leo into the police headquarters building in front of him, and came to the reception room on the ninth floor of the headquarters building, and then asked Leo to choose a reception room to sit in first, and said that there would be other people in charge of the case to receive him later.
Leo waited in the reception room for a while, but instead of waiting for the police officer in charge of the case, Frank Forson had already come to him first, and at the first glance of him, he asked directly, "Did you do that?"
Leo did not hide the matter of coming to Turin to find Passa Kaguran, and it was not difficult to find out what the cause was with the ability of the Special Director, so when he heard the news of Frank Fussen's death, his first reaction was that Pasa Kaguran's death was caused by Leo, so he asked after the meeting.
Leo looked at Frank Forson coldly and replied simply, "No." β
Frank Fossen did not doubt Leo's words, and in his opinion, there was no need for a strong man like Leo to tell such a lie.
Frank Fussen frowned and said: "This matter is a little bad, the person who died is from the Kagulan family, and the time of death is the time for the mission to negotiate with the kingdom to extend the mining rights, if it is not dealt with properly, or if it is found that his death is related to us, then the negotiations may collapse." β
Leo looked at Frank Fuson indifferently, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Can I leave?"
"Mr. Leo, do you think you can leave?" Frank Fussen said with an incredulous look, angry and funny, "You are the last foreigner Pasa Kagulan ever ever seen, and now that something has happened to him, you are the first object of suspicion, if the matter is not dealt with, not only will you not be able to leave, but the matter of the Eternal Wisdom Artifact will also be affected." β
"Are you trying to pay the bill?" said Leo, smiling suddenly.
Although Leo smiled, Frank Forson didn't feel the slightest smile, he knew that he had annoyed Leo, and secretly cursed those who had bad ideas, but the problem was that even if he knew that it was a bad idea, he had to carry it out.
So, he lowered his tone and said, "It's not that I want to repay the debt, but it will be affected somewhat, but what should be given to you in the end will definitely be given to you." β
Leo leaned forward slightly, and said to Frank Forson, "I know what you're planning, and I can help you investigate this, but you must pay accordingly, and don't threaten me with what should have been given to me." β
Frank Fussen had an embarrassed look on his face, and his wrinkled face showed a rare red of shame, and then he coughed lightly twice, relieved his emotions, and said, "I'm sorry, we did go a little too far. β
Leo said calmly, "It's okay, this shouldn't be your idea, Director Frank, but I want you to tell the person who instructed you to do this that I don't want a next time, and I'll raise my offer for that." β
"I see. Frank Fussen didn't dislike Leo's attitude either, nodded in agreement with Leo's request, and then asked, "Don't you wonder who is going to make trouble for you?"
Leo sneered: "In the Inge Kingdom, there shouldn't be many people who can instruct you to do things as the director of the Special Bureau, and the royal family among these people shouldn't trouble me, so it can only be people from the Congress, do you think I still have to guess?"
"Executive Speaker. Frank Fussen smiled bitterly and said, "He has helped me a lot before, and this time he is also interested in the artifact of eternal wisdom, but before he can speak, I have already transferred the qualification to you, so he wants to create some obstacles for you, if he is lucky, he may be able to cancel your qualification, and he will have a chance to replace this place." β
Leo stared at Frank Forson for a long time, and said with a smile: "What do you think about me running straight to the executive speaker's house and killing him to vent my anger after I leave here? I think this should be in line with your heart, right?" As he spoke, he looked at Frank Forson with interest and said, "What kind of grudge does that executive speaker have against you, and you treat him like this? Or do you have a grudge against the person who really instructed you? However, don't you think your method of framing is a little too naΓ―ve?"
Hearing Leo's words, Frank Fussen smiled and said, "Don't mind, it's just a routine! I just need to say something like that, and it's not my business to really move Mr. Leo to deal with the Executive Speaker." As he spoke, he saw him take out a stack of documents from his briefcase, put them on the table, and said, "Since you have finished paying off your personal favors, let's start working now." Here are some of the documents that need to be signed for the transfer of qualifications, please take the trouble to sign after reading. β
