Chapter 177: What is the evidence?
The interrogation of Gray did not go well. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the one hand, Daniel, who was in charge of the trial, had no experience, and when he was still alive four hundred years ago, this kind of thing was done by his subordinates, and the most he could do was to read the final transcript at most.
On the other hand, Gray, who was being interrogated, was apparently well-trained, and he could pull every question out of nowhere.
As a result, Daniel was quickly lost in the countless rhetorical questions of the other party, and was taken farther and farther away, and Kate on the side tried her best to pull it back.
Such a situation of no progress made Luca sleepy to listen to. However, he also knew that even if he went into battle in person, he was afraid that he would not be much better than Daniel.
In order to stop his sleepiness, he began to fiddle with the mails that he had not had time to open during the day.
An envelope caught Luca's attention. On the surface, the envelope didn't look anything special, but Luka's hand squeezed and saw a bulging piece in the corner, apparently hiding something.
The protrusion, which resembled the ten-dollar silver coins in circulation, was uneven and intricately carved to the touch of the envelope.
This is not uncommon, and in order to curry favor with the new lord, the pirate who sent the letter often included a few gifts, mostly precious stones, and occasionally a key to the treasury back to the harbor.
This gave Lukka a boost of energy, and he shook his head, kicking Daniel's "So, you're here to fish on Tata Island" out of his head, and reached out to open the envelope.
The thing inside is not a gem, although it is golden, but in terms of weight, it is obviously not pure gold, and it is small, Thea glanced at it from a distance, and sat on the sofa without moving at all, which fully shows that it is not too valuable.
But this golden brooch in the shape of a stag is no stranger to Luca, and Taylor, the chief consul of the June Alliance, always has such a pin on his chest, which is said to be a sign of status.
Lukka pulled the letterhead out of the envelope and read it.
The handwriting on the letter is also familiar, apparently by Taylor himself. There isn't much special about it, it's just a tirade like "I heard that Captain Leicester has been appointed as a pirate lord, and I hereby congratulate you.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Taylor did not use an envelope with the June Alliance badge, but an encrypted email from Sunset Express, which is more secure than most letters. It's been more than a month since Lukka officially became a pirate lord. For such a long time, it is enough for Sunset Express to spread the news, and it makes sense for Taylor to send a letter.
The second half of the letter, which should be what Taylor really values, is clearly anxious in the writing, in short, asking Lukka to have more snacks about the gray sun outside the window, otherwise the Sunset Islands are about to fall into chaos and so on.
In the last paragraph, there is also "Attach another badge, if necessary, you can hold this item directly into the government palace of the Beifeng Song Island Alliance." ”
But I don't have a clue...... Lukka shook his head, fiddling with the brooch in his hand, Daniel's unfocused interrogation still coming from his ears: "Do you say that you can only fish when there is a storm?"
"That's not it, air pressure! air pressure is the key!" Gray continued to ramble further afield.
Lukka stood up and strode over to him.
"Enough!" he exclaimed, "you say you're a June Alliance spy, what's the proof?"
Gray was stunned for a moment, and pulled his thoughts back from fishing: "Isn't it the other way around? Shouldn't it be, I don't admit that I'm a spy, and you let me show evidence?"
"No. Do I believe you when you say you're an Alliance spy, I think you look like an Empire!" Lukka said, staring into his eyes.
"What are you kidding, Captain Lester, my secret letter has the Union insignia painted on it!" Gray said.
"What does it mean if you draw the pirate insignia? It doesn't depend on where the pigeon is took?" Lukka was convinced that the only way to deal with a spoiler was to be more messy than he was.
"Then follow the pigeon, there is more than one in the cage!" cried Gray.
"Stalk the pigeons, stalk them to the kitchen?" Luca had already found a better home for the pigeons.
"You!" Gray was speechless for the first time after waking up, not knowing if it was because he was distressed by the pigeon in the soup pot, or because he never thought about proving that he was an Alliance spy.
"If you can't prove it, then I think you must be a spy for the Brohn Empire. "There is no discernible connection between Luca's conditions and conclusions.
"So what's the difference?" Gray didn't care, anyway, the spies on both sides were caught on this island, and he didn't think he could escape.
"In that case, I'll throw you to that Taylor as an Imperial spy. Luca said.
Gray laughed, "You mean, you're going to send me back to the Alliance?"
"Well, as an Imperial spy. Lukka nodded.
You must be ill, Gray thought to himself, back in the Alliance, am I still worried about not figuring out my identity?
"You must be thinking that the Alliance won't believe me, will you?" Lukka said, sitting down in front of him, "I'm sure I'll be safe to go back, right?"
Gray couldn't figure out the other party's train of thought, and didn't dare to nod or shake his head.
Lukka held the stag-shaped golden brooch in front of his eyes: "You know this thing, right?"
"Where did you get that?" Gray's eyes widened immediately.
"What do you mean by robbery? Your consul, you have something to ask me to do now. Lukka said as he held the letter up.
After waiting for a moment, estimating that Gray had read the contents of the letter clearly, he continued:
"You say, if I tell Taylor that you're a double agent of the Empire, will he believe it or not?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Lukka continued: "Even if he doesn't believe me, in order to please me, so that I can quickly solve the problem of the sun, do you think he will follow my statement and just click you away?"
Even though he was facing the sunlight, Gray's pupils dilated. He is very good at hiding all kinds of emotions behind exaggerated expressions and intonations, but he still can't avoid the instinctive reaction in his eyes.
With his rank, he didn't have direct access to Taylor himself, but judging by the archon he knew, it was entirely possible for Taylor to do such a thing. As long as it was beneficial to the June Alliance, he didn't care about the life or death of a low-level spy at all, and he was not very successful.
"I'm waiting for your answer, don't test my patience!" Luca's voice sounded even harsher.
