If he went to work at St. Creation's Monastery located outside Brilda, and if there was a security incident in the school, he would probably have to deal with Commander Burke of the Second Gendarmerie Brigade.
"I heard that you repelled the enemy. Were you injured?"
Lieutenant Colonel Burke von Arnold sat down, put his hands on the table and clasped his hands, and asked Lan Qi unhurriedly across the table.
He could tell that the young man with black hair and blue eyes opposite him was a noble and quite powerful.
For the vast majority of them who have not yet stepped into the realm of transcendental and holy realms, the sixth level is already the overlord in the border areas, which is rare even in the capital.
Fortunately, there was such a strong person on this train, otherwise it might have turned into a major safety accident.
"I wasn't injured. My battle with the enemy was just over."
Lan Qi replied humbly.
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Burke hesitated and took the investigation record from the soldiers who followed.
"But I heard from the passengers in other compartments that you had an overwhelming advantage against the strong female enemy."
Lieutenant Colonel Burke looked at the paper, raised his head and asked.
"If she pushes her too hard, I might really get hurt."
Lan Qi smiled easily.
"Is this so?"
Lieutenant Colonel Burke muttered to himself, then looked at the young man with black hair and blue eyes, sizing him up unabashedly.
There is nothing wrong with this strong man's sense of calmness, but the young man opposite him is stronger than he imagined, and there is some hidden mystery.
"According to the passenger information, your name is Landry Wassington. What is the purpose of your trip to the capital Brilda?"
Lieutenant Colonel Burke continued to ask and record.
"Because of my work, I received a letter of appointment from Brilda."
Lan Qi bent down and was about to take out the documents in the suitcase at his feet.
When he looked up again, Lieutenant Colonel Burke had turned his head and looked out the window.
It seems that we have almost arrived at the station.
None of them are in a hurry.
Arriving at Brilda only meant that we could talk more safely.
As the train gradually slowed down, the bustling station came into view.
Upon hearing the news that the Brilda train had been attacked outside the city, crowds of people and reporters surrounded the platform.
They talked a lot. Although the military police tried hard to maintain order, as expected, Brilda, as the political and economic center of the empire, even the train station was busy enough.
"Mr. Landry, I may have to delay you for a while, but don't worry, I will send you to your desired destination as soon as possible. Should we talk while walking, or should we just sit here and finish talking?"
Lieutenant Colonel Burke added.
"Let's talk while we walk."
Lan Qi picked up the suitcase and stood up, suggesting to Lieutenant Colonel Burke.
"Wise choice, I believe it will not be easy to get rid of the wall and reporters on your own later."
Lieutenant Colonel Burke did not waste any time and started chatting with Lan Qi while walking.
While they were waiting at the door of the carriage, with the sound of the door opening, another group of imperial troops wearing different military uniforms were already waiting outside the door of the fourth carriage.
Strangely, there were not as many people on the platform as I saw just now. They seemed to be actively avoiding these imperial troops.
Their numbers were far outnumbered by the gendarmerie troops of the Capital Garrison Headquarters.
In other words, there is only one action team.
The leading officer's hat had a deep brim that almost covered his forehead.
"Chief Nicholas, why are you here?"
The first person to speak was Lieutenant Colonel Burke. He asked the officer code-named Kestrel outside the door.
He obviously knew the other person.
Lan Qi observed silently, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that only the fourth car door was open at this moment. Apparently, the passengers in other cars were not allowed to get off the car. The purpose of opening the door was only to let these officers get on the car.
Lanqi had done sufficient work before coming to the Creation Empire. The information Nigel gave him included the detailed structure of the military in the capital of the Creation Empire.
It can be seen from the clothes of the officers standing at the door of the carriage that they are officers from another department independent of the Capital Garrison Command - the Imperial Special Operations Division, also known as the Imperial Magical Agents.
Among them are the Foreign Intelligence Division, which dispatches spies to lurk in other countries to spy on military and political intelligence. There are also the Sabotage Operations Division, which officially appears on the battlefield to carry out assassinations, kidnappings, sabotage and other terrorist activities in enemy-occupied areas, disrupting the enemy's rear areas.
More focused on the internal affairs of the empire is the Domestic Secret Service, which is responsible for monitoring domestic dissidents, uncovering anti-war elements and spies, and maintaining the stability of the regime. Finally, there is a secret laboratory that develops various silent special weapons. , such as poisons, alchemical organisms, high-performance explosive devices, etc. The research institute is also located in the capital Brilda.
The director of the Special Operations Division is directly responsible to the emperor and can directly mobilize resources from all parties without going through the military system.
Relatively speaking, the Imperial Special Operations Department has extremely high authority in the Empire.
"We suspect that this attack was probably a result of internal and external collusion, with insiders involved."
said Nicholas the Kestrel standing on the platform.
He was much younger than Lieutenant Colonel Burke. He had a handsome face with sharp edges and neatly trimmed dark auburn hair. He looked neat and capable as a soldier should.
The Domestic Secret Service Section 1 led by him is responsible for monitoring dissidents in the capital area and maintaining the stability of the regime.
"In my opinion, I need to focus on investigating the people related to this accident. Both the deceased and the survivors may be suspects. To be cautious, I need to cross-investigate again in person."
Nicholas the Kestrel had a slight smile on his face, but it made people feel an unmistakable chill.
"no problem."
Lieutenant Colonel Burke is dark and solemn. He often interacts with the Imperial Special Operations Office on cases. He trusts the judgment of Chief Nicholas of the Kestrel.
Lieutenant Colonel Burke readily agreed, then turned to Lan Qi and patted Lan Qi's shoulder gently, as if to comfort Lan Qi not to be stressed.
Because the investigation by the Imperial Special Operations Division will definitely be more rigorous, and the young man at the center of the incident will definitely be subject to more questioning and investigation.
"..."
Thalia was already panicking in Lanci's mind.
She thinks Lan Qi is really a troublemaker.
He had to take on Landry's identity, and then interpret the accident as Landry repelling the enemy!
Although he has gained a seemingly better identity, if he is targeted by the real hawks of the empire, he may never have peace in the capital Brilda, let alone what he wants to do.
Chapter 711 Lan Qi was born to do this
The Brilda magic rail train has been stopping at Capital Station for a while.
But the passengers on the bus are not allowed to get off yet.
Compared to the Capital Garrison, which would calm passengers, the Empire's Special Operations Office was obviously more tough-minded and acted responsibly. They did not consider the emotions of the people when conducting searches, let alone public opinion, and emphasized that military aircraft must not be lost.
Nicholas the Kestrel took the investigation report from Lieutenant Colonel Burke, the military police brigade commander, read it quickly and returned it to Lieutenant Colonel Burke.
"All passengers will be interrogated and those suspected will be taken away. The flight attendants and drivers should not be missed either!"
Nikolay the Kestrel raised his hand to instruct loudly, and the officers of the Domestic Secret Service quickly walked onto the train. The carriage door was closed again. They opened the passenger list, starting from carriage No. 4, and headed towards both ends, one by one. Check the people in the car.
"Is this serious?"
Lieutenant Colonel Burke knew he shouldn't ask.
Because the accident itself is considered serious.
But compared to the train attack, if the identity of the attacker also involves all the reactionary forces that the big shots in the empire pay special attention to now, then the nature will be different.
"..."
The man called the "Kestrel" by Lieutenant Colonel Burke, the leader of the military police force, Nicholas still stayed at the door of Car No. 4. He did not speak, but answered Lieutenant Colonel Burke's questions with his eyes.
next second.
His eyes gradually moved from Lieutenant Colonel Burke to Ranch.
Nicholas was in no hurry to go to other carriages, because the important people were actually right in front of him.
It only took one glance to tell that the man who was personally investigated and escorted by the commander of the Second Gendarmerie Brigade must be the core figure in the train turmoil.
"This gentleman, did you come to the capital alone?"
Nikolay the Kestrel put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Lan Qi, and asked when he looked at him again.
"of course."
Lan Qi responded calmly and looked at Nicholas with some curiosity, as if he didn't understand why Nicholas asked this.
The attitude of Nicholas, the chief of the secret service, was much more polite than Lanqi expected.
Maybe it was because he saw that his identity at the moment, Landry Wassington, was a noble. Of course, it was also possible that the internal secret service chief was originally a smiling tiger.
"Does that mean you have no accomplices?"
Nicholas the Kestrel's smile stopped, and his voice turned completely cold.
When this question was raised, Lieutenant Colonel Burke's expression next to Lan Qi became condensed, as if he sensed something bad about the atmosphere.
"Accomplice?"
Lan Qi looked at Nicholas in confusion.
Thalia felt her heart beating wildly.
She didn't know how this special agent named Nicholas found the flaw from just a moment of observation and detailed information!
But there was obviously something wrong with Lan Qi, and neither she nor Lan Qi realized it.
She said that Lan Qi shouldn't always play to the extreme. She almost wanted to get off now, but Lan Qi was her host and she couldn't run away at all!
"Humph."
Nicholas the Kestrel sneered twice,
"Then let me ask another question, why did you help the assassin in the car escape? And why did you want to harm the passengers in the same compartment with you."
