201 The country's past
"Boom."
In the dungeon, the old man released his clenched palm and made a gesture of metaphorical explosion, he looked directly at Karasuma Ying, and continued:
"That night ten years ago, there was a sudden explosion in that border village, and the explosion was so powerful that in an instant half of the village was flattened, and there were fires and corpses everywhere.
The center of the explosion is the research institute built by El Pharmaceutical in the village, and it is an ore explosion!
Those ores turned out to be not only beautiful, but they could also explode under special operations, and the power was far greater than that of ordinary bombs.
The folks at that company discovered this over the course of their research, and for several years they had been trying to find a way to activate the ores, and they had succeeded.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the explosion power of the ore could be so great, all their previous precautions were useless, just a moment of explosion, the entire research institute disappeared, half of the village was gone, and many people died......
King Heningcourt knew about it in the middle of the night, but guess what the king did about it, little girl?
Hehehehe, not only did he not arrest those who illegally conducted dangerous research, but he also deliberately suppressed the matter, he did not allow anyone to report it, and under the guise of expulsion, he protected the remaining people of El Pharmaceutical from leaving our country.
And in exchange, the king took a large sum of money from those people, and he also used this money to develop our country, what a holy king......
Hey, hey, little girl, do you know why we're locked up here? ”
The old man's laughter gradually went crazy, and his weak body kept shaking because of this strange way of laughing, which was very weird.
"Because we are the survivors of that border village, the king kept his promise, and he was afraid that we would tell us all about what happened that night, so he immediately arrested all of us who survived, and threw us all into this cell, which lasted ten years.
In the past ten years, none of us have ever gone out alive, only those who have been boiled to death and carried out, and there were more than sixty people in this prison at the beginning, and the king can't bear to do it to his own people, hehehehe...... Saint, our king is a saint, hehehe......"
The maniacal laughter stopped abruptly, and the old man suddenly stopped, he lowered his head, and sighed deeply.
"Bally, he also grew up in a border village, but he was abroad at the time of the explosion, and he received a call from the villagers, so he hurriedly wanted to come back, but there are not always flights in our country, and when Bally's return, everything is over.
Later, I don't know what happened, but he became the chief of the Kingdom Police.
The other day, Barry came to me and said he had a way to do it, and he could not only expose everything that happened ten years ago, but also acquit all of us......"
Speaking of this, the old man looked at Karasuma Ying again, his gaze meaningful.
"Little girl, you should know how special our cell is by now, right? We are special to Barry, to this country, and he will never lock up unrelated people.
Balitas, probably trying to do something dangerous for this country, it's not necessary, it's really not necessary, we've all been locked up here for ten years, and the country is fine now anyway, isn't it?
The little girl told him for me that in this case, don't do those meaningless things anymore, it's really not worth ...... for the sake of us people."
After listening to this long story from the old man's mouth, Karasuma Ying couldn't help but feel some emotion in her heart.
I see, I really didn't expect such a small country to hide such a past......
It's a pity that the old man's final guess is still wrong, she really has nothing to do with Barry, although there are still doubts, but Karasuma Ying still doesn't agree with the fact that Barry put her in this cell for some special reason.
But in any case, if she just helped the old man with a word, she didn't have any reason to refuse......
It's time to get out.
As for the question that Karasuma Ying originally wanted to ask, after listening to the old man's story, there was actually no need to ask.
The cell was isolated in the dungeon, and she was the first person to be locked in after them in ten years, so how could they possibly know about the Asian Assassin who had been locked in a week earlier?
"Sir, may you please do me a favor?" Glancing at the Kingdom policeman outside the cell, Karasuma asked.
“……”
"Toot-"
In the banquet hall of the annex, a long alarm suddenly sounded, and the entire banquet hall fell silent for a moment.
Then Andrew's language came from the radio in a hurry, as if he was saying something very serious, but none of the foreign detectives on the scene could understand it, and only saw the faces of the officers and nobles around him gradually becoming solemn.
"Belinda? What happened? What was said on the radio? Sharp-eyed to see the maid Belinda in the crowd around her, Mary immediately stepped forward to grab her and asked.
"Well, I think it means that a prisoner escaped from the dungeon......
Pulled by Mary's hand, Belinda paused and explained: "But Miss Mary, please rest assured, the guards will be dispatched over soon, and there will be no danger in the annex." ”
"Jailbreak ......"
Not caring about Belinda's comfort, Mary turned her head to look at the castle dungeon two hundred meters away in front of the annex, and her expression gradually became solemn.
Is this an unexpected coincidence? Or is it the beginning of their plans?
The voices on the radio continued to sound, and the officers in the annex seemed to have received orders, and the officers who could speak foreign languages began to shout loudly to stabilize the restless situation in the annex, and at the same time cordoned off the entire annex, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.
The alarms and announcements had stopped, and the situation in the annex was gradually controlled by the officers, and the detectives who did not speak the language returned to their previous seats, whispering to each other.
"Jingle bell!"
However, at this moment, the telephone rang again in the banquet hall.
Mary immediately turned her head to see the sound of a landline on the wall next to her, and Hans, who happened to be next to the landline, immediately picked up the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be very dignified, and after answering the phone, the expression on Hans's face became extremely frightened, and at the same time a little embarrassed.
"Get out of the way!"
At the same time, an officer suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, speaking Andrew.
The officer was young and handsome, he was also dressed in the clothes of the guards, and his hands appeared to be wounded, which were simply bandaged with gauze.
"Captain Guenner!"
Seeing this officer, Hans's face suddenly showed a look of salvation, and he hurriedly shouted in Andrew's language: "It's Commander Birun's phone!" ”
Without saying anything, the officer known as Guenner immediately stepped forward and took the phone.
He listened to Birune's words on the phone, and seemed to reply to something, and then suddenly, a very miserable voice came from the phone.
"Uhh
"What?!" Guenner's expression seemed to have changed, and he looked up at the dungeon outside the annex with a horrified expression on his face.
Mary followed his gaze and saw a corpse hanging from the watchtower of the castle's converted dungeon.
Looking at the figure, it seems to be the Commander Birune?
