Chapter 181: After-the-fact one
After getting what he wanted, Wren immediately left the Holy Jewel Palace, found a house nearby, and burned his bloodstained coat and gloves, as well as the blades of grass inside.
Looking at the coat that gradually turned to ashes, Wren still had the heart to thank the owner of the house next to him with an excited face.
He had been on the road and there was no one following him, which made him a little strange.
The Holy Gem Group has no leader, and no one gives orders to chase down the armored monsters, which is understandable, but the fact that the World Council in the investigation team has not sent anyone is a little cranky.
According to their previous style, even if they can't catch Wren, they will let the soldiers follow after them.
However, these have nothing to do with Wren for the time being, and he feels that he is about to leave, so he "drives" them outside on the pretext of breaking ties and protecting the owner of the house.
After checking the ashes in the furnace one last and making sure that it was clean and there was nothing left, Wren waited peacefully for the teleportation to leave.
I'm just a little sorry for Miss Enid.
Before leaving, he thought so.
On the other side, Calus was closing his eyes, his brow furrowed, and he kept running his palms across his forehead, looking distressed.
It's not that he doesn't want to go after the armor monsters, but after weighing the current situation, Calus decided that dealing with the issue of the Holy Gem was the first priority.
The reason why he came to the Holy Gem was to cooperate with the Holy Gem and try to suppress what happened on the day of Finn III's 500th birthday celebration.
As for catching the armor monster or something, I can't catch it anyway.
Before he came, the organization gave him a triple task:
The first is to make the investigation team unable to find anything, and to return in vain.
It's basically impossible, that is, let the top brass do his best.
If you can't do that, you will perform the second task:
Try to remove the World Parliament from the incident, or reduce the damage to the reputation of the World Parliament after the incident is exposed.
After all, after the Holy Gem incident at that time, the World Parliament fabricated a lot of things in order to cover up the scandal.
From the beginning, Calus's goal was to complete this second task, and the way to do this was to let the Holy Gem Kingdom unilaterally take the blame.
Anyway, Finn III is crazy, and with a little guidance from a little means, he can take all the responsibility.
If you can't even complete this second task, the above also arranged a third task for Calus as the bottom line:
Don't let the dignitaries of the countries who participated in the celebration at that time be implicated.
There are also a lot of people who talk nonsense after the fact.
In short, this is the minimum that the upper echelons of the council have for Calus: the council can lose face, but it must not damage the reputation of the kingdoms - so that the stability of the world can continue.
So after the armor monster left, Calus had no intention of pursuing at all.
While cutting off the broadcast, controlling the people present, and sending the members of the investigation team back to the hotel, he contacted the council headquarters to ask for a solution.
After receiving a perfunctory reply that told him to act on the spot, Calus was so furious that he almost decided to quit.
In the end, with the encouragement of the words "stability" and "responsibility" at the headquarters, I had to rush the ducks to the shelves and start to solve the problem of the Holy Gem.
Calus locked himself in his room and thought about the decision for more than half an hour, and finally he came to the conclusion:
I want to fart!
What else could Finn III do when he appeared on the mission, on television, and was seen by the whole world?
The monster in armor generously admits that he is the one who drives people crazy, so what if you scold him and condemn him?
The king is crazy, can't let him continue to be the king? There is no reason to continue the implementation of the order of national confinement, right?
Now outside the border checkpoint of the Holy Gem Kingdom, there have been a swarm of reporters gathered, and a large number of arrogant protesters, Calus reluctantly used the armor monsters to stay in the Holy Gem territory, and they needed to be searched and eliminated for the reason that they were temporarily stopped, but they couldn't last long.
Everyone knows the Armor Monster's modus operandi and never stays in one place for more than a day.
And once these reporters enter the Holy Jewel and come into contact with the people, they will know what happened on the day of the celebration and the reason why the Holy Jewel is banned throughout the city.
Well, these are only superficial issues, and the big deal is that Calus gave up the second task and took full responsibility on behalf of the World Council and Finn III, saying that the Council was negligent in its investigation and did not thoroughly understand the situation of the Holy Gem.
As long as the kingdoms are stable, the parliament will be stable.
The deeper question arises with the Armor Monster, that is, the question of the righteousness of the Armor Monster.
Once the truth of the Holy Gem incident is revealed, although what the armored monster did in the first place is illegal, it cannot be regarded as a heinous crime.
"Unless he's a Brica......"
Calus thought painfully.
If the judgment of "heinousness" from the first appearance of the armored monster is wrong, then the public will question, what about the events after that? Is it possible that your World Council is mistaken again, and the Armor Monsters are actually good guys?
Calus didn't dare to imagine if the truth about the events of Famata and the archaeological ship was also exposed......
"Stable~ Stable!"
Calus patted his forehead, his head aching.
……
Despite having her phone and ID confiscated and locked up in her room because she was suspected of having something to do with the Armor Monster, Enid wasn't in a bad mood right now.
She wasn't worried about getting into any trouble because of this, her identity was forged by the Leiling family, and Enid believed that the other party would solve the thank you problem for her.
It's not a fake, but Enid did join a gem-connoisseuring organization and became its president.
Although not for long.
As for Bell's identity, even if the name Enid is not necessarily true, it doesn't seem like a big problem to use a nickname to participate in the investigation team.
What Enid was thinking about now was the Armor Monster.
She was almost certain that the Armored Monster was Wren.
Almost.
There are these two words, but the meanings are completely different.
"Without conclusive evidence, I can't do anything about him, he just doesn't admit it to death. It's okay to be open about your speculation, but I don't seem to want the armor monsters to get caught. Damn boy, did you expect me to think that! ”
Enid leaned back on the couch, wondering if there was anything else she could use.
The crux of the matter lies in the uniqueness of the Armor Monster, this mysterious guy comes and goes freely all over the world, so it doesn't matter what the motive for the crime is, the modus operandi, and there is no need to consider whether the other party is capable of completing the case, as long as you find evidence that can directly prove that the other party is the Armor Monster.
For example, blood.
It's a pity that the coat has been taken away by the armor monster.
"I kind of like that dress."
Enid grumbled slightly, and then moved on to another question.
