7. Coffee Rain Lullaby (14)
"Why do you suspect that Baron Rice is 'Jack the Ripper'? There are many people who meet the conditions for suspicion, and there are not a few who are more qualified than the baron. ”
Minerva asked dissatisfied. She could have sneaked back to the dormitory while the troublesome person had left, but now she was sitting in an unlit carriage, tailing her classmates and homeroom teacher, and ......
"Your Highness, what you want to ask is, 'Why is V.E so keen on Jack the Ripper?'"
There was a very calm laugh from the seat opposite, clear and unheaving, and some kind of persuasive magic dwelt in it.
It was a woman dressed in a black knight's outfit, a red-haired woman who was not timid even in front of a princess and was extremely confident in expressing her opinions.
In a certain definition, it can be said that it is the witch's woman - Salome.
According to Niedhogg, she is the spokesperson for the president of the company, and in Li Lin's absence, she is the person who exercises the power of the president and manages the headquarters of the company in Lüders, and Nidhogg, who is the vice president, must not object to her instructions.
Salome, who holds this privilege, speaks on behalf of V.E and Li Lin's will. Minerva had to pick himself up and deal with it carefully.
"The investigation and handling of public order cases is the responsibility of the state agency, and I don't remember asking V.E to intervene to solve it on my behalf. ”
The country's economy and politics have been infiltrated by the V.E company, but it is far from the process of requiring the V.E company to get involved in everything, and law and order are not needed.
If you have to go through the company V.E to catch a thief, the so-called country will exist in name only.
"Our company is not intended to offend the law or the royal power. I just want to ensure the safety of the president's successor with the smallest possible influence. ”
A seemingly impeccable answer.
Jack the Ripper - Unknown in appearance and age, has committed multiple murders in a row, dismembering the bodies of his victims and taking away some of the crazy murderers.
It is characterized by being an excellent dual-system magician, good at dismembering corpses with knives, and fond of finding healthy boys.
Baron Gilles de Rice, who taught the manipulation and enhancement of the two-line technique, was only one of the few who met the above characteristics, not the most suspicious, but he was suspicious and was Roland's head teacher. This is a problem that V.E must pay attention to.
The heir to that super-capital empire is only Roland at the moment. No one wants anything to happen to him.
-- But the difference between actions and reasons seems to be so great that even a blind person cannot hide this, and it is really flattering.
"For this reason, the object that should be protected has direct contact with the target, and it is not at the risk of putting it in danger?"
Pulling out the biggest loophole in the logic, Minerva snorted coldly.
"Your Highness. The baron was just suspicious. There is not enough evidence to prove that he is 'Jack'. Our purpose is only to eliminate suspicion, not to rob the security knight of his job. As for security...... More than anyone else, the Royal Government is concerned about the personal safety of Young Master Roland, who came to the Capital of the First Good to study magic. ”
Choked by the meaningful thorn in the words, the princess finally fell silent. Gloria, who smelled that the atmosphere was wrong, subconsciously wanted to rub her temples. I also remembered that this was around a highness, and any unauthorized faux pas would not be allowed. Without Salome's bohemian character and capital, the maiden knight sat in her seat and slowly accumulated pressure.
Salome had also intended to sue the group of lawyers for dealing with similar issues, such as the suspicion that his workers were unionizing, and that the lead lawyer, François Robespierre, would produce more guillotines without censoring whether they were trying to form a union, and "execute them immediately if they were suspected." Legal adviser Adolf Thiers hired a team of soldiers to pull out the disgruntled workers one by one, pull them down the wall and shoot the trade unionists and their families en masse "like dogs". There is also a lawyer who takes the workers' families hostage...... In short, in order to prevent an imaginary strike and prevent their interests from being harmed, they can do whatever they want.
Terrible lawyers, terrible builders, the girls will definitely be frightened.
Salome Li Lin glanced at the ladies of the spring and turned his attention to the two carriages represented on the virtual map, the carriage carrying Roland and the Baron was 50 meters ahead of them, driving unhurriedly. At the current rate, the Baron de Les's mansion will be reached by 23:30 midnight at the earliest.
After confirming the time, more than a dozen cursors lurking in various corners of the royal capital, which are in action or standby, are also displayed.
In order to catch something that "Jack" and "Jack" holds. The powerful men belonging to different forces are walking through the streets and alleys under the cover of night. Whoever can find "Jack" first and obtain the key things will be able to grasp the dominance of Charlemagne's political discourse for a period of time in the future, and have a heavy impact on the political ecology of this country.
After all, it was from the hands of the V.E company that something accidentally flowed out. If those things that have seen the light of death are made public, this multinational giant company will be in big trouble.
It's funny to say that the specific flow of things that disappeared from the armored escort carriage of the V.E company in the accidental traffic accident was actually the crime of "Jack" - especially the several murders that have occurred in the recent period of time, so that the V.E company, which is well aware of all kinds of inside information, knows who moved their things, and further refines the identity characteristics of "Jack" into "a magician who is keen on research and is not good at communicating with people".
For no other reason, that thing is to hold a particularly poisonous deposit. The more brilliant the magician, the harder it is to resist that "poison".
Once in contact, it will be difficult to let go, and at the same time will do some terrifying things - this is like a child who buys a new toy, does not want to wait for a second, and fanatically unpacks it and wants to fiddle with it.
Because that kind of person is actually the most impatient, but if he is patient, he will not want to spend his life as a human being to explore the truth of all things in the universe.
Narrowing down the scope of his targets, Stasi's vast intelligence network quickly became effective. The whereabouts, identity, and experience of "Jack" have been unearthed one by one, and other forces have been letting it go, and now the reason for the sudden intensification of arrest activities has also been clarified.
It's all figured out, and the next thing is to make a plan, cooperate with tonight's performance to close the big net, and recover "Jack" and lost property.
Nervous because of its importance, but also found traces due to its anomalous properties.
If this is a joke played by fate, it is really the worst and most laughable. (To be continued......)
