"Bernard Jenks?" Shen Yi frowned slightly: "I'm sorry I haven't heard of this name." ”

"It's normal, you haven't seen me, I'm the head of operations for the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, and I'm the direct commander of Eleni and Morley...... I guess you remember them. ”

Shen Yi's face sank: "It turns out that you are from the Investigation Bureau, haven't your people been here?" I said that I don't know these two people, and I don't know that they are tracking and investigating me, and the only thing I know about them is from the newspaper." I was driving around the city when the strange murder happened in Enco, I don't know if I ever went to the place they said, but I definitely didn't go to Enco, why do you still come to harass me?"

"I'm not surprised that you would answer that, Mr. Shen Yi. Bernard laughed, "I know you're going to deny everything about them, and we don't have any evidence anyway." But Mr. Shen Yi, whether it's you or me, we all know what you've done. You were the one who sent Carmela to rescue you, you were the one who shot our soldiers in the church bell tower, you were the one who betrayed our country, you were the one who killed Chipman, and you framed Molly and Elenie, and you were the same ...... We have been selling arms to our hostile forces that kill our soldiers. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about except for the last one. Shen Yi replied calmly: "Oh yes, regarding the last one, this is the Acquiescence of the Empire, I hope you can understand this, Mr. Jenks." I did sell some weapons to the Lionheart Kingdom, but without my efforts, Arendt wouldn't have gotten his hands on those bloodline potions. I have done far more to the Empire than I have done to it. ”

"On the surface, that's true, but you've already provided more arms in private than the Empire acquiesces, right?" I know very well why you're doing this, Mr. Shen Yi. After Eleni and the others find out your secret, you know that you can't hide the secret of your arms sales, so you simply make a deal with the Empire and sell it publicly, although this will make you a little passive, but in this way, Elenie's accusations against you will be invisible, and you will no longer be able to do any harm to you. However, this is also the point I don't understand, Mr. Shen Yi, you could have killed them directly at that time, why would you be willing to let them survive so much trouble? Do you really think that kind of clumsy trick can work for us?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Of course, Shen Yi couldn't admit it on the phone.

"Don't worry. Bernard laughed: "I promise there is no recording of the phone." ”

"I have nothing to worry about, Mr. Jenks. If you really think I'm guilty, you can come and arrest me. Also, are you calling to harass me? In that case, I'll have to hire my lawyer. ”

"You don't have a lawyer, Mr. Shen Yi, in order to save expenses, you have saved almost everything you can, and at the same time you have taken out a lot of loans and borrowed debts...... It's hard to imagine that you don't seem to care at all about how your actions will affect your future. This makes me think that you are probably planning to abandon the foundation here, right? Mr. Shen Yi. ”

Shen Yi's eyes shrank suddenly.

He didn't expect this Bernard to be so powerful, and during this time, he had already examined his own background so clearly, and deduced the closest conclusion to the truth based on his performance.

Although he could not have known about the existence of the adventurer due to the limitations of the world, at least in essence, he had touched the core.

This surprised him deeply, damn, he didn't design the profession of detective in the first place.

At this time, Bernard had already said: "Of course, there are some problems that cannot be explained. For example, if you want to escape, where will you flee to? Lionheart's Kingdom, they are defeated, and there is no place for you. You're a weapons manufacturer, and you can't even make a decent alloy out of the metal veins of Arente, the vast and complete industrial system here, and the Deer Dynasty. What can you do there? I am appalled by your long-term disregard for the long-term and only for the immediate gains!"

"I never thought of running away, Mr. Jenks. Shen Yi still said calmly, but his eyes had become cold, and his face had gradually become serious.

He hadn't been so serious in days.

"I think you're really preparing for that. Bernard Jenks smiled: "Yes, you performed very well in the battle of the church bell tower, leaving almost no clues, but Mr. Shen Yi, you seem to have forgotten that the clues that you can't get here can also be obtained from other places." ”

Shen Yi frowned and didn't speak.

Bernard continued: "Of course, I can understand why you didn't answer, you think I'm lying to you, right? Unfortunately, I'm not. Remind you that there are some pieces of evidence that you can never erase, such as ...... Carmela. ”

Shen Yi finally changed color.

He was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Carmela...... Mr. Jenks, I must admit that you have found a good direction to break through. Indeed, if you catch Carmela, you can find the gunman who shot at the church. But how can you be sure that Carmela will identify me? And how did you catch her?"

"I'll correct you a mistake first, Mr. Shen Yi. Bernard replied in a good way: "I never said that there was only one gunman in the church, I said that you were involved." ”

Shen Yi's eyes suddenly shot a fine light.

Bernard had already laughed: "But what you said made me confirm that you were indeed the only gunman at that time." This may explain why you have evidence that you haven't left the venue...... You have the ability to be a doppelganger, right?"

Shen Yi snorted: "I'm just following your tone and casually talking, how can I know if there is one person or two people in the church, I just instinctively think it is one person." ”

"It is true, you speak carefully, and every word you say on the phone is not enough evidence to incriminate you for your crimes. But that's okay, as I said, I didn't intend to use this as evidence at all, I just wanted to understand how you did it in the first place. Now that my suspicions have been confirmed, that's enough, even if it doesn't make it proof, at least you and I know it, don't we?"

Shen Yi snorted: "Whatever you say, if you want to arrest me, go and catch Carmela." ”

"Why bother?" Bernard laughed, "There's no need to arrest her, just find someone to ask her." ”

"What did you say?" Shen Yi said.

Bernard had already said loudly: "I'm talking about why do you think Carmela will always protect you? Don't forget that the Lionheart Kingdom is now in the midst of a national ruin! At this time, as long as we give them a little chance, such as signing an armistice agreement, and by the way, asking to hand over their spies lurking in Canterlot, Carmela will not hesitate to sell you! This is politics, politics is full of betrayal! Mr. Shen Yi, you should understand this truth very well, don't you? After all, you are also the betrayer!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi was also stunned.

Indeed, if the Arrent Empire sends a peace signal to the Lionheart Kingdom, then as some bargaining chips for signing an agreement, Shen Yi is indeed very likely to be thrown out by Carmela.

No, not that it is possible, but it will be.

It's hard to imagine that this guy would think of this way, which made Shen Yi appreciate him a little. He wasn't panicked by the shock, but it was Bernard's performance that excited him, which is probably the result of his usual good mental fitness.

At this moment, Shen Yi replied: "The Lionheart Kingdom is about to fall, and Arron will not accept peace." ”

"Under normal circumstances, this is true, but the recent performance of the Tianlu people has made His Majesty the Emperor not very happy. What would you do if it were you?"

Shen Yi paused for a moment again, and finally replied: "United Lionheart, counterattack Tianlu." ”

This is nothing short of normal.

Unite a small country, turn to clean up the Tianlu Dynasty first, and after destroying the Tianlu, who can compete with Arendt in the final war?

Damn, it's all self-directed.

Shen Yi felt like he was cocooned and self-bound, which made him smile bitterly.

"Look. Bernard laughed, "So I don't have to make any decisions at all, right? In fact, this plan wasn't even proposed by our people...... The envoy sent by the Kingdom of Lionheart has arrived, and this suggestion is from them. ”

"You're well-informed. ”

"The Investigation Bureau is in charge of internal security, and these messages are required. I just suggested to the director that they ask for information about the gunman when they are negotiating. It's not difficult, it doesn't even need to be listed in a formal negotiation, just a casual conversation at a welcome reception, and then ...... You'll be given away as a greeting gift. This is your true value, Mr. Shen Yi, no matter how cunning you are, you are just a small meeting gift on the wine table of the big guys after all, and you are not even a bargaining chip. ”

“...... Admittedly, you had a good plan, but then you didn't catch the gunner. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can catch the bad guys. ”

"Then I wish you good luck, catch the bad guys early, and I can clear my suspicions. Shen Yi smiled: "But I think it's hard for you to succeed." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because of the call, Mr. Jenks, of course. First let's assume that I'm really the gunman. If everything goes according to your expectations and Lionheart Kingdom will tell you who the gunman is, then you don't need to make this call at all, it is tantamount to warning you in advance, as a good internal security officer, you should not make such a mistake. I mean, despite your repeated disparagements of me, I'm afraid my status in the heart of the Lionheart Kingdom isn't that low...... A gunner may not be important, but an arms dealer is still valuable enough to be a bargaining chip. ”

This time it was Bernard's turn to be silent.

"So you're not sure you're going to get the evidence you want from this negotiation, are you? Or there's a simpler reason...... The Lionheart Kingdom didn't send an envoy at all!"

"That's why you're making this call. You deliberately gave me a fake message, or provoked me to run away early, and you were ready to be arrested. Or maybe you want me to be suspicious of Carmela, you believe that I have my own people around Carmela, and if I learn about this, maybe I'll have my people kill everyone who knows...... You want me to offend them and completely ruin our relationship, so that as long as Carmela doesn't die, I will naturally be announced by them. Whichever choice I make, it will be your chance. ”

"You want to lie to me!" Shen Yi affirmed.

On the other end of the phone, Bernard was silent for a moment, and finally smiled: "You are more cunning than I imagined, Mr. Shen Yi, well, I admit that you are right, there is no envoy, there is no negotiation, everything is just my temptation...... But no matter how cunning you are, the fait accompli won't change. I will catch you, I will avenge the dead soldiers, and I will avenge the unjust death of Morley, you can think of this as a contest or as a declaration of war!"

Shen Yi was taken aback: "What did you say?

"That's right, Mr. Shen Yi, just last night, he was shot for killing Chipman, the chief representative of Enke Company!"

"And what about Elenie?"

"Molly is dead, will Elini be far away? Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't save her...... It's all because of your frame-up!" Bernard hung up in a heavy tone.

Shen Yi stood stunned on the spot.

After a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "A good policeman...... It's a pity. ”
