Toussand, who was sleeping in his bed, was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

The one who knocked on the door was certainly not a man from the manor. No servant would knock on the door with such a rough gesture at night, and such an act would have been stopped by the little Boulder butler with a scolding - perhaps accompanied by a letter of dismissal.

At the estate, ensuring the quality of sleep for Dussand and Androni is the highest priority. The priority of this task was even higher than obedience to Duchamp's orders.

Dussand's eyes snapped open, and he felt a palpitation in his chest. He struggled to sit up from the bed and said to the door, "Who?" ”

The wooden door was slammed open, and two men in gray cloaks with red uniforms revealing inside unceremoniously entered.

"Mr. Dussand, an urgent order from Olin." The two red-clad postmen rushed into the room with a nervous look on their faces, and said to Dussand, who was sitting on the bed, "Orin has been attacked, and the attacker is the Marquis de Lafayette. The Directorate ordered us to conduct a thorough investigation of the Marquis de Lafayette's conspiracy at once, and to halt all shuttles to and from Orin and Nussar until the investigation was complete. ”

Awakened by a sharp knock on the door, and startled by two red-clad postmen breaking into his bedroom, Dusund's had no idea what was going on. He opened his mouth, and only then did he reorganize the language.

"Why are you coming to me for such a thing?" This is Dussand's first question, "What about the people in charge?" ”

"According to Deputy Commissioner Bourne's memo, you are now the top head of the Newsar Heraldic Management Office." The shorter red-clad postman on the left said quickly, "You were the ...... before you got Orin's order for personnel changes The one who is in charge. ”

"What the hell happened to Orin?" This is Dussand's second question.

"According to intelligence, there was a hijacking of a ship at the interstellar landing field in Orin. The stolen ship was a ship directly under the Royal Command - the ship rammed the command of the Royal Second Guards Navy after leaving the interstellar landing field without permission. ”

Dussander swallowed hard, even though his dry mouth didn't produce enough saliva at all.

And then ...... This? He asked, frightened.

The stolen ship then tried to escape, but was destroyed by ships of the 2nd Guards Navy in the Olympian atmosphere. The red-clad postmen of the Directorate found the Marquis de Lafayette, who was confirmed dead, on board. "The Directorate has confirmed that the Marquis de Lafayette is the mastermind of the hijacking. At the same time, he is also responsible for twenty-one sabotage plots, four murders, six kidnappings, and two treasonous murders on Orin. ”

Dussaint was dumbfounded, but fortunately he had been up for a few minutes, and his mind quickly realized that something was wrong.

Byrne was the Olin who went with the Marquis!

"That Bourne ......"

"Director...... The Director's body was found in the forest outside the Olin Interstellar Landing. It must have been as soon as they arrived in Orin that Mr. Director was attacked. The short, red-clad postman said quickly, "The General Bureau has determined that the Secret Guards may have infiltrated Olin to carry out sabotage activities, and they have asked us to start a sweep of Newsar's Secret Guards immediately."

He's dead? That old bastard died suddenly?

As if suddenly enveloped by something invisible, Dussaint struggled to stand on the ground from the bed, but his whole body still seemed to be soulless for a long time.

"Mr. Lord, Mr. Lord!" The two red-clad postmen glanced at each other, and they both saw a mixture of relief and worry in the eyes of their colleagues. Thankfully, Director Byrne has indeed raised a new man who will grieve over his death, worried...... They weren't sure if Dussaint would be able to afford the sudden burden.

Dussaint took two deep breaths, then held back. He's pushing himself, thinking with his brain. Whatever is going on in the mind, the key now is to "think" the action.

Director Byrne had arrived in Orin with the Marquis, and there was no doubt that Byrne had completely lost his suspicions of Lafayette before he set out for Orin.

You know, a few weeks ago, Byrne had anxiously asked Dussart about "Marquis Lafayette's loyalty to the Empire", and this time he was able to set off with the Marquis on a civilian ship to Orin...... That means that he has thoroughly trusted the loyalty of this high-ranking nobleman.

Byrne was by no means an easily deceived person, he was fully aware and aware of the size of the Dark Guard - he even knew that Morse was the Dark Guard.

With Byrne's suspicious personality, and the clues he already has...... If the Dark Guard had already entered Orin, and even had the ability to carry out assassinations, sabotage kidnappings, arson, or even hijack ships, it would be impossible for him not to grasp the clues, and he would not have been able to be concealed so easily.

It doesn't make sense.

Dussander had a lot of thoughts, but he quickly grasped the first clue.

"You two, immediately mobilize all the forces we have. I want to know the current location and movements of each of the marquis's relatives, family, and friends. Dussander instructed the two of them as he tried his best to find a solution in his mind.

There was something wrong with Byrne's cause of death, which was the conclusion that Dussander had come to right away. Despite its vast powers, the Dark Guard is almost entirely under the watchful eye of the Newsar Heraldic Administration. Dussander even suspected that at least a third of the members of the Secret Guard and the former Zealist Party had been planted by the Heraldic Administration.

With this infiltration and oversight, it was almost impossible for the Marquis's secret guards to successfully organize an assassination attempt against the head of the Imperial Colony Heraldic Administration.

Not to mention, such an assassination in itself has no meaning - what is the value of assassinating Bourne in Olin? Without Newsal, Byrne was just a suspicious high-class red-clad postman. Only when Neussal was he the "uncrowned king" of the intelligence agency that controlled tens of thousands of people.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Lafayette really went crazy and made a move on Byrne, then what was the point of hijacking the ship after that? Whatever action Lafayette had planned on Orin...... By the time he assassinated Bourne, the plan must have reached its final stage.

In the final stages of the plan, Marquis Lafayette did not attempt to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, or to carry out a larger coup d'état; Nor did they bring in alliances or federations to carry out large-scale attacks on the Empire.

So...... What is the point of a ship hijacking? What was the point of ramming the command of the Royal Guards Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy?

Now it seems that there are two explanations for what happened in Orin.

First, Byrne did die at the hands of Lafayette, and Lafayette's purpose is so confused that it is difficult to tell whether his plan has succeeded or not—after all, dead people cannot speak.

Second, Byrne did not die at the hands of Lafayette, but other forces intervened.

This is the most chilling situation, and it is something that Dussaint simply cannot solve. To be able to act so brazenly in the capital of the empire, and completely block ...... Or drive the Orin Heraldic Administration to lift the protection of Bourne. This enemy is probably not ordinarily terrifying.

In order to justify Bourne's death, they even committed a hijacking of a ship, and for this purpose, they took the command of the Royal Guards Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy...... This sudden appearance of power is not only unscrupulous, but also seems to be completely indifferent to "collateral damage".

Dussand's brain was running at full speed, but the two red-clad postmen standing at the door were in trouble. They really didn't know whether they should leave immediately to carry out Dussand's orders, or wait for Dussander to figure it out.

"Your Excellency?" The tall red-clad postman cautiously asked, "Do you have any other orders?" ”

"What are you doing here?" Only then did Dussander realize that there were still two big living people standing in his bedroom. "Hurry up and report the location of those people as soon as possible - keep an eye on them, and don't alarm them unless they show signs of an obvious desire to flee."

"And you're coming with us...... you?" The short red-clad postman asked, "Our steam wagon is still outside, and the engine hasn't been turned off." ”

"Time is tight, the task is heavy, you go first." Dussaint waved his hand, "I still have to change my clothes, you guys go to work first, I'll go directly to the place later." ”

Sending away the two red-clad postmen, Dussander changed his clothes as quickly as he could. And Androni, who was also awakened, also walked to Dussand's room, "What's going on?" ”

"Mother...... "Dussart," said Dussand, dressed and helped Androni to sit down on the couch, "the Marquis de Lafayette is dead, and so is Bourne." Information from Orin was that Byrne had been assassinated by Lafayette. The Marquis caused a lot of damage in the capital, and finally the ship was robbed and crashed into the headquarters of the Royal Second Guards Fleet of the Imperial Navy. ”

Androni's face turned white in an instant, she shook slightly, and then forcefully said, "There is a problem with this information. ”

"There is indeed a big problem, no matter how stupid the Marquis de Lafayette is, the secret guard will not cooperate with him to do such a stupid thing." Dusson nodded and said, "I've already paid all the red-coated postmen, and I need you to write a letter for me." ”

"To whom?" Androni nodded, took the dipping pen and letter from the side and asked, "You say, I'll write it." ”

"To Monsieur Morse, I beg you to write that Monsieur Marquis is dead and that he has been charged with 'assassinating the head of the Newsal Heraldic Administration.'" Dussand's expression was serious, "Please ask him to fully cooperate with my work - if the members of the Dark Guard still want to live." ”
