"Detective Meteor, I just made it very clear." The windwatcher said resolutely: "This is the beginning of the Great Restoration War!" We would be very happy if we could have the support of the Golden Shield Empire; Even without the support of the Empire, we will continue to devote ourselves to the Holy War.

The city was chosen because of the city's unrivalled international status. We want more people who care about the Leo Kingdom to see and give them hope. ”

"Are you dead?

'We are loyal to the kingdom of Leo!'

The answer Luke had expected, but it was the last thing he wanted to hear. For people who are bent on death, it is difficult to prescribe conditions that make their hearts move.

"You want to use this attack to expand your influence; Destroy relations between the Empire and the Republic of Leo. Isn't it too whimsical to harm the interests of the empire in such a way and still want our support?

The Wind Lookout said to Luke, "Detective, although we are the first to come to Angry Waves, we know that the Empire is an empire and Angry Waves is Angry Waves. Whoever supports us can do it, and we need allies overseas in our wars.

In return, the revived kingdom of Leo can promise you many conditions. ”

At this point, Luke had understood Pan's purpose in initiating this event.

This is an extreme terrorist attack, with no material demands, only to show one's attitude and position. As a world-class commercial city, such a serious attack can quickly spread to the world.

As the Lookout said, the Kingdom of Leo needs the intervention of overseas powers if it wants to restore the kingdom. Whether it is a state or a private person, if you want to make a venture capital in the future of the Kingdom of Leo, now is the opportunity.

Luke sighed and said: "It seems that you also know that through normal military means, you have no way to overthrow the Republic of Leo. After so many years, the new generation of Leos has forgotten the kingdom of the past. Now the rule of the Leo government has given them a life that the kingdom has not given them.

You can only fulfill your heart's wishes in such extreme ways. This practice is sad and shameful.

Give you one last chance, let everyone go, and I can guarantee that you will leave safely.

Luke's words sent a look of shame to the Windseeker, but he stuck to his philosophy: "Your humiliation will not make us change our beliefs. Our purpose has been made clear to you.... The Gomen had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Golden Shield Empire, and the attack was only directed against officials of the Leo puppet regime.

In three days, we'll put everyone here to death.

You are also welcome to attack, and we can show the outside world what we are capable of. I've heard that the Abyss Temples have all been taught a lesson in Raging Waves, and we hope for a good fight. ”

Luke pressed out the cigarette butt on the table, "Your wish will come true, and the City of Angry Waves will not allow you to use our world's influence to create an international crisis."

The offense you want, it will unfold in no time.

But.... Since your enemies are Leo officials, Imperial employees working in the consulate, can you let them out, they are innocent. ’

"Yes!" The windwatcher readily agreed: "The Imperial hired workers can leave, we do not regard the Empire as an enemy, and I look forward to in-depth cooperation with you."

Luke smiled and said, "You don't have a chance, I'm going to use your life to add a merit to me." But I still have a chance to work with your master,

The Wind Lookout looked at Luke's smile and nervously asked, "Do you know who we play for?"

"Yes, I just talked to him about helping the exiled nobles of Leo. But it seems that he just wants to reveal his former Leo royal status in order to reap the dividends generated by your attack on the Leo Consulate. ”

Pan's identity dictates that he can't go around and say: I'm a member of Leo's royal family, I want to restore the country, and who of you wants to support me.

Today, he timely revealed his identity as Leo's royal family, and it happened to be an international crisis in which Leo's consulate in Angry Waves was attacked. Those who have some thoughts about the Leo Kingdom will naturally find a way to contact him.

He passively accepts refuge and funding, which does not affect his identity as a shimmering gold person.

Hearing Luke mention the rock, the Wind Looker showed a look of admiration: "Your Highness has unparalleled wisdom and bravery, and he will become the greatest king of the Leo Kingdom." Now that the Inspector has seen our Highness, does he have more confidence in our restoration?"

"Faith or something..... Not much for now. I need to keep watching him to see if he's really as good as you say. That's all for this meeting, I'm going to meet with Consul Rio and hear the opinion of the Republic of Leo. ”

The Windseeker stood up and sent Luke out the door: "Detective, I am impressed by your charm, and I look forward to meeting you next time." Maybe the next time we meet, it's a battle of life and death. ”

"I'm looking forward to your performance, goodbye."

Luke said goodbye to the Lookout like a normal visitor, and then went down to meet Consul Leo under the guidance of the gatekeeper.

Consul Leo and four other diplomats were held in a room on the third floor, all of them looking weak like the people in the hall. Even if you talk to Luke, you have to say a word and take three breaths

Don't expect them to help when the rescue operation begins.

Luke identifies himself to Consul Leo and informs the Windwatchers of the purpose of their abduction.

"I have met with their leader, and in three days you will be put to death. We will do our best to rescue you, but the other side is a dead soldier, and the rescue operation will not be able to guarantee your safety.

This is the Consulate of Leo in the Angry Waves, which is theorized to be the temporary territory of your Republic of Leo, and the Empire needs your consent for all actions here. ’

Consul Leo was a thin old man wearing glasses, and he seemed to exhaust all his remaining strength and said: "The extravagant life of the Leo royal family and the lack of food for the Leo people are the root cause of the fall of the Leo Kingdom, and the Leo people have the freedom to choose who is the ruler of the country. We.... We......

Luke stopped the consular officer from continuing, "Your Excellency, this is the Golden Shield Empire. These slogans of yours can be said in your land, not to an Imperial agent, and my duty is to deny no one the freedom to choose who is the ruler of the Empire.

All I need is one reply.

Let us save you, or will you save yourselves? ”

Self-help, how to save a consular officer who has difficulty standing up in a chair. However, let the secret agents of the Golden Shield Empire rush in to rescue, and the safety of his life is not guaranteed.

"Can't you negotiate with these kidnappers?"

"Unless you declare your surrender, I can't think of anything that will make the Lookout let you go. Anyway, the Empire is not prepared to accede to any requests from the Lookouts

"I, we

As the consular officer considered the consequences of surrendering, Luke said, "Whether you surrender or not, the Empire will never let these people leave this area alive."

The majesty of the Empire does not allow for any desecration, and the city of Angry Waves does not allow anyone to tarnish the city's international image. ”

So what do you ask me for?

"Detective, Detective Meteorite.... I think we can think of a more secure approach. ”

The consular officer was afraid of death, and if he had the strength now, he would probably have knelt on the ground and hugged Luke's leg and pleaded

Luke didn't expect the consular officer to be so cowardly, he took out his pistol and threatened, "Your Excellency, I need your authorization." If you are delirious and unable to make a decision, I will ask the Vice Consul. ’

Seeing that Detective Meteorite actually took out his gun, the consular officer immediately took out his seal and said, "I authorize you to have Detective Meteorite's plenipotentiary abbot to rescue Leo's consulate in Angry Waves."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Luke gets the consular stamp: "The rescue operation will be launched soon."

As Luke enters the Consular Mist of Leo, Pan appears on the roof of a nearby building. From his vantage point, he could clearly see the sheriffs and Imperial agents guarding beyond the mist.

A man dressed as a windwatcher appeared behind Pan, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "Back to my master, Detective Meteor has entered the consulate of the rebel puppet regime."

"He's in!" Meteorite entered the consulate in danger, which surprised Pan: "He is very bold, not afraid that the windwatchers inside will kill him?"

"Master, the sheriffs and spies of Raging Waves have blocked the entire fog area, and no one outside can get in, and no one inside can get out. If the owner doesn't want the meteorite to die, it's hard for us to inform the windwatchers inside. ”

Pan smiled: "In this holy war for the restoration of the country, no one can not die. I admire Meteor's abilities, but he is a spy of the Golden Shield Empire after all, and if his fate is to die at my hands, accept it.

I don't know if the windwatchers inside can hold out for three days. ’

"The secret technique given to us by our master has been blessed by the ancient golden language, and the fog of the burden-bearing mispath cannot be broken by numbers. The Lookouts will definitely be able to hold out for three days, so that the whole world can see the beginning of the Holy War for the restoration of the Kingdom of Leo.

Those who have Kingdom in their hearts will surely join in with each other. ’

Pan looked at the night in the distance, the ocean in the east, and Leo to the east. He didn't have any impression of it in his memory, but the blood in his body told him from time to time.

You are the new king of Leo, where the land of your ancestors is yours now.

"I'll lead Leo down the right path."

'The master is heroic!'

By the time Luke came out of the fog in a carriage, there was a glimmer of light in the east. He was joined by dozens of Imperial employees who worked in the consulate. They clung to the surroundings of the carriage, fearing that they would be lost in the fog.

The wolf-like sheriffs arrested all the hired workers and interrogated them one by one.

Viscount Iscollan opened the door of the carriage and was relieved to see Luke sitting inside. "Inspector.... Chief Inspector, you've been in for so long that I almost can't help but rush in with someone. ”

Luke stepped out of the car, looked at the noise outside, and said to Iscoran, "The windwatchers inside promised to release the Imperial hired workers, and it took some time to select and screen them.

I've talked to their leader, there is no possibility of a peaceful resolution of this incident, so let's prepare to attack.

Did you find a drawing of the Consulate Leo. ”

Viscount Iscolan said: "Yes, I have set up a temporary command post nearby, let's talk there."

There's news from the council. ’

Luke said to Nishizawa, who was on standby, "These hired men are all imprisoned and released on my orders, and no information related to the interior of the consulate is allowed to be disseminated."

"Yes, Chief Inspector!"

Luke followed Iscolan to the makeshift command post. This is a private house, and it seems that the home decoration is relatively solid. Mrs. Mihir and Councillor Iber are already waiting here.

After sitting down around a table, Luke first asked Mrs. Mihir, "Is Yin back at the hotel?"

"I'm back, she's going back with Director Pan, please rest assured Inspector.

Luke then asked Councillor Ibur, "What's the information on the council?"

Congressman Ibur has been campaigning for this since learning of the attack on the Leo consulate. Viscount Iscolan is the newly appointed chief of the city's security, and Meteorite is the highest-ranking agent in Angry Waves City, with great power and great responsibility.

"Parliament has just convened an emergency session..... Speaker Grover has asked us to resolve this incident quickly, and we must not trigger a diplomatic incident that will not end to it, let alone a terrible catastrophic event.

The city's security department and the Secret Intelligence Bureau need to demonstrate their ability to keep the security of the city recognized internationally. ”

Viscount Iscollan took the architectural drawings of the Leo Consulate, spread them on the table, and said: "The new nobles should not have reacted from this sudden incident, our people told me that they are holding an internal meeting.

After daybreak, their measures against us will be worked out, and we don't have much time. Since the chief inspector said that the problem could not be resolved peacefully, we would immediately attack, and there was no way to sacrifice hostages. ’

Luke looked at the complicated architectural drawings and said after deep thought: "If you rush the kidnappers and cause the hostages to die, there is no way to end the game."

Iskoran said anxiously, "What should we do?"

"If our opponents want us to be anxious, I can't be anxious. And I think we can use this crisis to demonstrate the security capabilities of the city to the international community. ”

"A demonstration of policing capabilities?" All three councillors had question marks on their faces.

Luke smiled and said, "The Windwatchers have given us three days, and they won't hurt the hostages for those three days. We can use these three days to develop a perfect rescue plan.

And the outside world is not aware that there is a three-day safe period. We can show the outside world those hired men who came out with me to the empire in batches, and that every group of people who are alive is the result of our negotiations with the kidnappers.

Raging Waves wants a sense of security, and we give them a sense of security, and what could be safer than when a person is rescued alive from the kidnappers? Can we better demonstrate our capabilities?"
