Nikolai continued to take an aggressive step closer.
His eyes seemed to make the air feel a little colder.
And the place where he was has turned into an interrogation room.
"What on earth are you talking about?"
Lan Qi looked confused and asked.
Lieutenant Colonel Burke kept his expression unchanged while analyzing possible oversights in his previous investigation.
Based on previous investigations by the gendarmerie on the train.
This aristocratic young man with black hair and blue eyes named Landry Wassington got on the bus with the old man Lovia who was in the same compartment at the border of Botswana Province. On the way, he was attacked by extremely dangerous elements on the bus. According to the investigation, A female assassin, who was repelled by the brave Landry.
But correspondingly, according to Landry's description, the old man Lovia who happened to be in the same cubicle as Landry was the target of the female killer. In the end, Landry was shot by the female killer using a sixth-level assassin's smoke screen spell. The old man who was able to catch her and was taken away by her.
If you think about it carefully, all of this can be consistent with the survey results.
But a large part of it is Landry's own monologue.
As long as it can be rounded, then he said one is one and two is two. The most critical doubt is why the female killer snatched away an ordinary old man who happened to be Landry's passenger in the same compartment?
Burke gradually understood Nicholas the Kestrel's suspicions——
If Landry had been the culprit from the beginning, all sense of inconsistency would be removed, and the story would be torn down and reshaped.
"You don't have to pretend anymore, you lame guy."
Nicholas seemed to have lost his patience and reached out his hand towards Lan Qi's face, trying to grab his forehead.
Or kill him directly!
however.
When his hand was about to touch Lan Qi's eyes.
Lan Qi remained motionless.
Nicholas's hand also stopped accurately.
"Why don't you hide?"
Nicholas asked.
"Because I am not afraid, I believe justice is on my side."
Lan Qi's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were still as clear as waves.
This dull question and answer caused a slight cold sweat to break out on Lieutenant Colonel Burke's forehead.
If the Imperial Special Operations accidentally killed innocent passengers or even nobles here, then such a vicious accident would definitely involve their Capital Garrison Headquarters.
Fortunately, Nicholas was just testing.
"I'm rude, Mr. Landry. I just used my usual troubleshooting method for investigators. It's my responsibility. Please forgive me."
Nicholas the Kestrel retracted his gloved hand and apologized to Lanci.
"Phew, it really shocked me. What on earth did I commit to deserve to be targeted like this by you?"
Lanqi breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled.
"I'm pinching you, he wants to cheat, right?!"
Thalia finally understood, but Nikolai didn't see anything at all.
Anyway, let's get a prize first. If the person being tested cannot withstand the psychological pressure and his expression shows flaws, the case can be closed directly.
Fortunately, this guy Lanqi is not like a human except in his psychological quality.
His heartbeat wouldn't speed up at all in this situation.
"Don't worry, Tata. My heart and conduct are as clear as a mirror. Everything I do is righteous. No words can shake me."
Lan Qi felt that Tata was frightened and soothed in his heart.
"..."
Wait for Lanci.
You didn't engage in psychological warfare. Are you really not guilty?
Thalia was confused.
"But Mr. Landry, can you please once again describe the disappearance of Mr. Lovia who is in the same room with you? I still can't understand why the female killer took away such an innocent old gentleman. You were present The only witness, I want to hear your opinion."
Although the atmosphere was much more relaxed, it could be seen that Nicholas the Kestrel still remained skeptical.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lanqi.
These words seemed to make Lieutenant Colonel Burke beside him concerned again.
"How should you be honest? From the beginning, I thought your lie was a bit far-fetched."
The haze of despair shrouded Talia's heart. She now only felt that the more Lanqi explained, the more mistakes he would make, but it was also impossible not to explain.
And Nicholas the Kestrel would never let him go easily and let him fool him.
"rest assured."
At this critical moment, Lan Qi remained calm and chatted with Talia in two threads in his mind.
"Before that, I have a question to ask Section Chief Nikolay."
Lan Qi looked at Nicholas the Kestrel and said.
"Oh?"
Kestrel Nicholas neither agreed nor objected. It seemed that he wanted to hear Lan Qi's question first, or that the question itself was enough to infer a lot of information.
"In your opinion, what is the identity of the female killer? Because it was the train announcement that initially informed us passengers that there were extremely dangerous elements on the train, which means that the Imperial Special Operations Department should have received the information first."
Lan Qi frowned slightly, raised his hand and lightly touched his chin, thinking as he spoke.
It was worthy of Nicholas, the chief of the Domestic Secret Service Section 1, to personally come to investigate. There must be some major internal issue.
"Of course I have no intention of inquiring about military information, but since Section Chief Nikolai asked me to make inferences, I also need corresponding information to supplement it to be accurate enough."
Lan Qi added another sentence.
"..."
Nicholas the Kestrel was slightly silent.
A few seconds passed like this.
"It's not a big deal, of course I can tell you. According to our intelligence, the dangerous person in the car today is an important member of the Silver Moon Reform Society and a big fish."
He spoke.
Anyway, the big fish has run away and time has passed. The value of this piece of information has dropped to the point where it can be shown.
"Silver Moon Restoration Society...?"
This time, Lan Qi was a little confused, and the corners of his eyes trembled.
"You may not know much about this organization when you first come to the capital, but you only need to know that this organization is an absolute danger to the empire, and it is also a serious problem for the big shots above."
Nicholas the Kestrel added in a rare move.
"This imperial agent did not lie. The intelligence from the Imperial Special Operations Office seems to have identified Miss Unity as an extremely dangerous member of the Silver Moon Reformation Society."
Talia reminded Lan Qi in her heart and told him the results of the lie detection.
"Why, in Mr. Landry's opinion, shouldn't she be a member of the Silver Moon Restoration Society?"
Nicholas the Kestrel seemed to have caught a hint of detail and got such an answer from Lan Qi's reaction.
This young man with black hair and blue eyes showed real hesitation for the first time just now.
Such unfamiliarity shows that the other party must not be from the Silver Moon Reform Society. Correspondingly, he may also possess other key information.
"Of course, I personally feel that that person is not quite like the Silver Moon Restoration Society you mentioned."
Lan Qi replied frankly.
"Then who do you think she is?"
Nicholas the Kestrel frowned, as if he felt that this answer was worthless and not the answer he wanted.
If today's investigation leads to this young man with black hair and blue eyes, he will be quite disappointed.
"The female killer is more like a spy of the Allied Forces, and what should I say, Mr. Lovia and I had a very pleasant conversation along the way. I shouldn't slander him like this, but the fact is that Mr. Lovia and the female killer They talked for a while, and the language they used was obviously not the language of the empire, if I heard correctly."
Lan Qi continued to explain with a serious expression.
"..."
Nicholas the Kestrel fell into deep thought after hearing this.
On the side, Lieutenant Colonel Burke's expression became shocked and he stared at Lan Qi who said something shocking.
Allied spies, that is a foreign problem.
To some extent, its severity is on another level than that of the Silver Moon Reformation.
"Are you sure what you said is correct?"
Nicholas the Kestrel asked Lan Qi word by word.
Although if it points to the direction of "Lovia is an Allied spy", then everything will become clear, and there may be a big case behind it.
However, it has a prerequisite, that is, whether Lovia, the 62-year-old publisher, really has a problem.
"of course."
Lan Qi nodded confidently.
"Okay, thank you for the information Mr. Landry provided. We will follow up and use the Lovia you mentioned as the direction of investigation. If your information is useful, I will come to thank you on behalf of the Imperial Special Operations Division and apply for a commendation for you. ”
Nicholas the Kestrel smiled and looked at Lan Qi extending his hand.
This answer is enough.
His years of work experience have always made him feel that there is a mystery in this young man named Landry, or in other words, he does not want to believe this young man from the bottom of his heart.
If their Imperial Special Operations Division continues their investigation and discovers that there are doubts in Lovia, then they can naturally prove the innocence of Landry Wassington. By the way, this is also a great achievement. Compared with the Silver Moon Reformation Society, the identity level is unknown. It's not a big deal if a dangerous person escapes.
