In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Lawson's mind.

It's not that he didn't think about shooting right away and directly killing the culprit who poisoned his father; It is not without thought of stopping what you are doing, withdrawing with everyone to the Upper Albin Industrial Zone, and then dissolving the company.

But in the end, the ten-year-old chairman of the company restrained all thoughts and gave an order, "Don't move!" ”

"Rosen, I'm already aiming for him." The armed security guard on the side lowered his voice and said eagerly, "With a snap of his finger, this beast can be killed at the gate of his manor - such a good opportunity, I can't let it go!" ”

"I said, don't move!" Rosen said angrily, "If you don't want to do it, then put down the gun and get out!" ”

The two were arguing in low voices, when another armed security guard on the side suddenly said, "It seems...... Something is wrong. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Lawson, who was arguing, and the armed security guard shut their mouths together, and they looked at Harrison at the gate of the manor, and after a long time did not see anything abnormal.

"What's wrong?" Rosen asked, "Do you see anyone else?" ”

"This is his estate." The armed security guard whispered, "When have you ever seen a noble lord get out of the car and then walk in before returning to his house?" ”

Lawson and the other armed security guards were stunned for a moment, and then nodded in unison, "It's true!" ”

And there's more to the anomaly than that.

From the time the carriage appeared at the gate of the manor, to the time when everyone found out that Harold had gotten off the car early, it had been almost half an hour. The aristocratic lord, who was dressed in pajamas, stood in the cold wind for a long time, and no one came out to greet him, and he himself did not touch the iron gate of the manor.

"Nobles can't even open a door, do they? Or is his brain already burned, and he plans to cool off in the cold wind in his thin pajamas? Lawson suddenly realized, he sneered twice, "Don't do it, the scene of the noble lord being frozen is a rare freshness - I want to see how long this old man wearing a layer of silk can stand in the wind!" ”

As Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Post Office at Newsal, and as Director of the Newsal Branch of the Royal Post Office's Heraldic Administration, Byrne was by no means a fool.

He is cautious by nature and suspicious of everyone. And he can also use various means to verify his suspicions without hesitation.

Bourne never cared if his image was in line with the norm or if his actions would cause any trouble.

He is only keenly aware of all the irrationalities or suspicious places. Then, driven by personal interest, he uses all kinds of reasonable or unreasonable means to confirm his suspicions...... What the hell is hidden?

Because of this personality trait, when Byrne was serving as the captain of a capital ship in the Royal Navy of Newsal, he was able to guess that his second mate was actually a spy of the Alliance, and verified that the second mate actually hid two time bombs in the ammunition depot of the capital ship.

Byrne discovers that his second mate is a spy and saboteur, but is forced to leave the Royal Navy because he is responsible for it. And his "results" brought him a new job.

After his dishonorable discharge, Lieutenant Colonel Byrne became the Deputy Chief of the Heraldic Administration of the Royal Post Office in Newsal, and two years later exposed the corruption and bribery of the Chief, becoming the fastest red-coated postman ever to be promoted to the rank of Commissioner.

The headquarters of Orin's Heraldic Administration Office wrote a very high comment in the file of Director Bourne, who was considered the most promising regional director of the entire Heraldic Management Office in the last hundred years.

Of course, such a character cannot be deceived so easily.

While still serving in the Imperial Navy, Byrne was suspicious of Baron Duchamp and his wife Andronie. Now that the names of the two men are in the spotlight again, Byrne is simply ecstatic.

For these two, Byrne really has too many confusions and doubts that he wants to be answered. Helplessly, Duchamp was a man who would not respond to Bourne's verification at all, and most of the time he did not even speak. On a few occasions Bourne's temptation was too hasty, and Duchamp would not show any anger at the sharp questions – he would remain silent and return to his home in Upper Albin to visit his family. Then respond very appropriately a day later.

Byrne was pretty sure that Androni had taught these copings.

Baron Duchamp was a very traditional military man. He was usually reticent, but he never hesitated to carry out orders. As a high-ranking officer and aristocrat, Baron Duchamp did not see any trace of "extravagance" in his daily life and work.

Such a unique and "strong" style is naturally incompatible with the Imperial Navy as a noble class. And until his retirement, Bourne did not find an opportunity or a way to satisfy his "curiosity".

He wondered if Baron Duchamp's character was an illusion created for self-preservation, or if he was his true face.

He wondered more if Androni's advice was based on her own wisdom or if it was "taught" in some other way.

You know, Androni only became a nobleman after marrying Duchamp. Without systematic learning of relevant knowledge, as the daughter of a businessman, Androni's talent in politics and human relations is simply incredible.

Now, the opportunity to unravel the puzzle was in front of him, and Bourne did not hesitate to set about his own action.

In the eyes of Commissioner Bourne, the ten-year-old Dussander was not very complicated, and he did not seem to have inherited the political talent from his mother. However, as a noble child, he is very smart.

Printing campaign materials for their mothers is a "troublesome task" that most children of the aristocracy do not do. Dussand, on the other hand, took the job aggressively, and seemingly foolishly used a lot of high-grade paper to print promotional materials.

The moment he saw the purchase record, Byrne guessed the little boy's mind. He estimated that Dussart had made at least more than 50 gold pounds in profit from this printing campaign. Two tons of high-grade paper, which is also a big deal in Albin. However, the unit price written on the purchase record is the general market price.

It is clear that Dussaint completed the purchase of paper and ink through his fiancée, Lorraine. Then put the discount that the seller will inevitably give into his pocket.

As for the purchase record of the original price, it was used to fool Androni.

Considering the invention demonstrated by Grand Technician Polina, and Dusander's admiration for Grand Technician Polina, Byrne even guessed the purpose of the ten-year-old boy's work as a "contractor". He was fascinated by this beautiful great technician from Orin, and planned to pay for the other party's research with his own money.

He was smart, but he was still a child.

The ones who really need to be paid attention to and tempted are Androni and Duchamp.

Lord Harold, who was pulled to the gate of the manor by a steam carriage, was used as bait to test Androni and Duchamp.

Androni is not a stupid woman, she must have learned about Lord Harold's bitter ploy and backup plan through various channels.

According to the investigation by the Heraldic Administration and Harold's own confession, he had a backup plan. Of course, according to Harold's quibble, this plan was his only plan.

However, Byrne believes that this plan is a final solution to deal with the bitter meat scheme that does not work well, or simply fails.

Harold gave the long-standing Star Thieves 8,000 gold pounds and asked them to raid Newsar four days later and enter Baroness Andronie's estate during a ball. Seek to kill Androni, or kidnap Dussand.

The first prerequisite for dealing with violent attacks is to have your own force. However, neither the police nor the heraldic administration have recorded any armed forces under Baroness Andronie.

How could the baron not have his own armed organization? This simply does not make sense. So, Byrne is very sure, not that there is nothing, but because there is something wrong with the source, so Andronie and Duchamp have always hidden this force deeply.

The source of this force is likely to be a key clue and lead Byrne to uncover Andronie's deepest secret.

In order to expose this force, Bourne chose the most dangerous and most successful method. The Heraldic Administration was fully involved, completely cutting off all means of communication for Baron Andronie's family.

Then, led by a public carriage hired by the heraldic administration, Lord Harold, dressed in pajamas, was thrown directly to the door of his estate. And Byrne had only one request for him.

"Stand at the gate of the manor for an hour, and I'll let you go." Byrne exchanged Harold's cooperation with a promise that was very insincere and had no intention of being carried out at all. "In an hour, I'll give you a ticket to Olin. Once you're in Orin, as long as you don't get into trouble incognito, no one will come to you again. ”

Byrne sat on the couch in the airship, quietly sipping the best black tea from Olin.

He was waiting, waiting for the force that had not been ordered to act on its own. Harold has been "released", and the information traffic between Andronie and Duchamp and the outside world has been completely cut off. From the outside, this has undoubtedly revealed the outcome of the struggle between the two sides.

Lord Harold is victorious, and Androni and Duchamp are about to be escorted to Orin – or simply executed – and it doesn't make any difference to outsiders anyway.

Coincidentally, the Privy Council was unable to provide Harold with a guard due to common "clerical problems" and "technical problems". So now, it's the best time for that force to do it. Kill Harold and give military support behind the scenes

Quick, let's do it. It didn't matter if Harold was shot in the head - it wouldn't be long before his head was shattered. It would have been a more merciful relief for him to do his job now, and let him die under a sudden attack.

Byrne waited for the gunshots to sound as he signed his name on the three papers in front of him.

"Notice of Deprivation of Lord Harold by Special Order of His Majesty the Emperor"

Proclamation of the Execution of the Criminal, Harold Shepard, in the Name of His Majesty the Emperor

"In the Name of His Majesty the Emperor, Circular of Reprimanding the Election Committee of the House of Commons"

[Executor: Bern Harrisnius, Deputy Director of the Royal Post Office, Newsal Heraldic Management Office]
