(308) New threats
Half a month later, Fort Midknight, the capital of the Valstad Empire, the building of the Imperial Intelligence Department.
Baron Colin Douglas, the Minister of Imperial Intelligence, was pacing back and forth outside the door of Interrogation Room 102 in a gentleman's top hat and a black tweed coat.
He waited a little impatiently, and went back to his office upstairs to prepare for afternoon tea.
Ten minutes later, a senior agent belonging to a classified branch pushed open the door and came to him, this person looked very happy, and said with a fluttering eyebrow:
"Sir, good news has come from the interrogation room, our efforts have not been in vain, the Humpty Dumpty captured by Lord Victor has all been confessed, this is definitely very important information for our empire, and the twelfth special service group of our intelligence department has done another miracle!"
This was the answer Baron Colin had been waiting for, and he was proud of his right-hand men.
"Great! Agent Neeson! He stretched out his hands and squeezed his shoulders hard: "Tell me quickly!" What kind of progress has been made?
"I promise, you'll be very satisfied, so please take a look at this, sir."
Agent Neeson took out a small brown paper bag, opened the spool seal, poured out a shiny gold coin from it, and gently placed it in the palm of Baron Colin's hand.
"You see, this is the great result of this interrogation, and Humpty Dumpty handed it over very reluctantly."
"A gold coin? I don't quite understand, is it a hidden mystery? ”
Baron Colin took a bite on the edge of the gold coin: "There are clear tooth marks, the gloss is good, and the weight is enough, this gold content must be more than ninety-nine percent." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something: "Huh? Wait a minute...... What's going on? I remember clearly, the day Lord Victor sent this guy to the Intelligence Department, our people had already searched his body, and no suspicious items were found at that time, how could this gold coin suddenly come out of him? “
Seeing his boss's behavior of gnawing on the gold coin, Agent Neeson looked a little cramped at first, showing an extremely embarrassed expression on his face, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and then, he couldn't help but say:
"Sir, this black-skinned gringo is really an old slippery man, and in order to prevent us from confiscating his belongings, he actually swallowed gold coins into his fat belly.
At first, my assistant and I didn't notice anything wrong, and we just went on to ask questions as normal.
Until the guy's black face suddenly twisted violently, and the fat belly gurgled and screamed, and he strongly asked to go to the bathroom alone, which I directly refused, and then ...... Just then something ridiculous happened. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Halfway through the interrogation, he finally couldn't hold it anymore...... There was a disgusting noise, and all the pants were filthy, and the interrogation room at that time was like hell, and there was no way to treat people anymore, it was really a stinking thing!
Our dedicated staff covered their noses to clean up the site, found a glittering light in a large pile of foul-smelling droppings, and then found the gold coins. ”
"Feces? Damn it! I was still using my mouth...... Vomit...... Ah......h
At this, Baron Colin retched violently, and then scolded, "Damn it! Why didn't you say it earlier? It makes me sick! ”
"Hahaha! I'm sorry, Master Colin. The detective laughed loudly: "Sir, it doesn't matter, we have cleaned these evidence repeatedly, and we have also disinfected them with medical iodine wine." ”
Having said that, Baron Colin was still nauseous for a while before he recovered, he was still thinking about eating a few pieces of cake and drinking some black tea, but now he was fine, he had lost the slightest appetite:
"How many gold coins were found?" He asked.
"Not much, just three."
"I remember that in ancient times, there was a saying that he committed suicide by swallowing gold? Is it okay for this guy to swallow gold? ”
"Sir, pure gold is not poisonous, and it will not be digested by gastric juice, if a person wants to swallow gold to commit suicide, he must swallow a sufficient amount, and he must completely block the intestines and cause serious intestinal obstruction to cause death, if the swallowed gold is of that small size, it will not cause any harm.
There is also a situation where the angular gold nugget is swallowed directly, and after swallowing, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract is cut by the edge of the gold nugget, causing internal bleeding and resulting in death. “
Baron Colin quipped, "Detective Neeson, you kid can do it, you know quite a lot, if you hadn't caused me to bite that gold coin, I might have considered giving you a promotion." ”
"Hehe, thank you for your appreciation, but you haven't found the most important place yet, please take a closer look at the engraving on the surface of the gold coin."
"Oops! Look at my brain! I didn't even notice something so important! Colin picked up the gold coin and looked at it carefully, and exclaimed:
"Why is the lion carved on it so familiar...... Damn it! This is the national emblem of the Solan Kingdom! ”
He slapped the top of his desk hard and shouted angrily:
"! This damn bastard! He took the black money of the Solan Kingdom! He's working for our enemies! ”
"Listen to me, Lord Colin, this little black fat man is not only a lackey hired by the Solan Kingdom, he is also involved in an even more serious conspiracy against our empire!"
"What? Is there anything else going on? ”
Baron Colin stood up excitedly and said to his men, "Tell me everything you know!" Remember, be brief and get to the point! ”
"Okay, sir, I'll cut a long story short.
Faced with the evidence of this gold coin of the Kingdom of Solan, the Humpty Dumpty gringo recruited them all.
His name was Freeman, a successful freed slave, and he was a capable man in their local area, quite intelligent, and proficient in many Chinese.
One day, several intelligence agents from the Solan Kingdom came to the island and found him and hired him as a guide to complete a mission.
The mission is for him to infiltrate our country with a group of Voodoo cultists, and pay him more money when he succeeds.
This kid was greedy for money, and agreed without even thinking about it.
They gathered on a tropical island in the south and traveled north across the ocean on the big ship of the Solan Kingdom.
In our neighboring countries, we changed to smugglers' boats, and then smuggled to our coastline and successfully infiltrated our land.
Their original plan consisted of four missions and four destinations, the first of which was set in an abandoned castle on the outskirts of Fog Pine Town in the Deep Forest Gorge.
He only knew a little about the specifics of the mission, and was only responsible for taking those voodoo cultists to their destination and performing some strange religious ceremonies in order to achieve the sinister purpose of destroying the peace of our imperial people and disturbing the hearts of our troops.
Fortunately, our brave Princess Edgar and her party happened to pass by here because of an outing, ending their plans.
The Voodoo cultists were all wiped out, and only this Humpty Dumpty guide survived, and the few remaining religious ceremonies were naturally lost. ”
Baron Colin Douglas was in a cold sweat when he heard this:
"These voodoo bastards! Colluding with our enemies! ”
"Sir, I think you should immediately gather the agents and agents of the various branches and hold a closed-door meeting in the building of the Ministry of Intelligence, this is related to the foreign affairs of our country and the Kingdom of Solan, and it must be handled carefully."
"Of course!"
Baron Colin Douglas stood up: "The Solan Kingdom has joined forces with the forces of the Voodoo Cult, the situation is urgent, I must go to the Golden Lake Palace as soon as possible and personally report the news to His Majesty the Emperor, only she can decide how to deal with it!" ”
