But if there was nothing wrong with Lovia, Landry would have blown himself up, and he would arrest him immediately.
"You're welcome. We are all Imperial people. It is our responsibility and obligation to be able to contribute to the Empire in this current situation. It is also our mission and honor."
Lan Qi held Nicholas's hand and said forcefully.
In Lan Qi's heart, Talia became uneasy again.
"Lan Qi, what he said is also true. He has always suspected you, and the investigation against you will be endless! You shouldn't tell such a big lie."
Thalia reminded Ranchi.
She could read the thoughts of Kestrel Nicholas, the chief of the Imperial Secret Service, better than Lanqi.
On the surface, the two men could still smile and shake hands, but now Nicholas became even more suspicious of Lanci.
"It's okay. This incident is almost over. Don't worry. In the empire, I promise to let you eat well and sleep well every day, so you don't have to live in fear."
Lanci said to Thalia.
Next, he only needs to tell "Lovia, a sixty-two-year-old publisher from Glenwaverley on the northern border of the Creation Empire. He is a border commoner with a little savings. He wants to come to the imperial capital of Brilda to do some business, but in fact he is not here. "The Mori Kingdom was a spy who lurked in the Creain Empire many years ago." This information was secretly reported, allowing the empire to successfully find out Lovia's identity. Landry, as the public clue provider, was a major contributor. .
"You were born to do this..."
After Talia read Lan Qi's thoughts, she was almost speechless for a moment.
This time it may be that the situation forced Lan Qi to do this, and it can even be said to be quite impeccable. Often, the deeper the suspicion, the more trust will be generated by guilt and relief after discovering that he has actually misunderstood.
While this may not work well for someone as suspicious as Nicholas the Kestrel, he may not necessarily feel guilty and may even remain skeptical.
But if Lanci continues to play like this, Nicholas the Kestrel may really put Lanci on the white list.
How come this kid is like a fish returning to the water when he arrives in the empire...
Is this acting or sincerity...
Chapter 712 Lan Qi’s resurrection
After Nikolai's brief and powerful cross-examination, the chief of the Imperial Secret Service Section 1 seemed to have temporarily put aside his suspicion of Lan Qi.
He signaled to Lieutenant Colonel Burke that the aristocratic young man with blue eyes and black hair could leave the train car.
"Mr. Landry, thank you for your cooperation."
Nicholas the Kestrel nodded to Lan Qi,
"As an important eyewitness and witness to this incident, our Imperial Special Operations Division may need to learn more from you in the future. However, time is running out right now, and the task of tracking down Allied spies is more important, so I won't waste your time anymore. ”
After all, he is still an imperial noble, so it would not be good to continue to detain him.
"It is my duty to provide some clues for the investigation. If you need anything else, I will wholeheartedly help."
Lan Qi responded humbly.
"Then please leave your information and contact information, Mr. Landry."
Nicholas the Kestrel said simply and neatly that this was necessary at the end of the investigation.
"I have just arrived in Brilda. My place of residence in the capital should be arranged for me by my workplace. If you need to find me, you should be able to find me through a business-to-business relationship at St. Creation's Monastery."
Lanci replied.
"..."
Lieutenant Colonel Burke looked at Ranchi suspiciously.
"St. Creation's Abbey? Where does Mr. Landry work?"
Lieutenant Colonel Burke, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, we arrived at the station just as we were about to talk about work on the train, and then Mr. Nicholas came."
Lan Qi explained step by step, and at the same time took out the official letter from the suitcase and handed it to the two officers.
Lest Nicholas the Kestrel ask again.
Lieutenant Colonel Burke only briefly looked at the document with the official seal of St. Creation's Monastery, and then gave it to Nicholas the Kestrel to read in detail.
"Landry Wassington, the newly hired professor of St. Creation's Monastery, is about to report before taking office. The scheduled arrival time is September 9th..."
Nicholas the Kestrel looked down at the official letter and muttered softly.
At the mention of St. Creation's Monastery, the surrounding gendarmes immediately stood in awe of Lanci.
Nicholas the Kestrel thought to himself, his face still calm.
"So that's it..."
Lieutenant Colonel Burke seemed to have a good impression of Lan Qi, but he did not expect him to be so powerful. He looked at Lan Qi repeatedly in surprise.
"No wonder you have the ability to easily solve the train accident. Fortunately, you have the empire's outstanding talents on the car, so the gangsters can't run rampant."
He smiled with surprise and admiration.
Originally, Burke was wondering what a man with such a powerful border was doing in the capital, but now that he was convinced that he was the newly appointed professor of St. Creation's Monastery, everything made sense.
"It's not a big deal, everything is my responsibility and obligation."
Lan Qi's every word is resounding.
"Sorry, Professor Landry, I was so negligent just now."
Lieutenant Colonel Burke said.
"fine."
Ranch chatted casually with Lieutenant Colonel Burke, waiting for a moment for Nicholas the Kestrel to verify the information.
The capital garrison officers standing aside could not hide their curiosity and admiration in their eyes. They seemed to want to ask the professor something, but it was obviously not appropriate to interrupt the superior's chat here.
At this moment, this young man with black hair and blue eyes has become a mysterious heroic existence in their eyes, hiding his merits and fame.
"..."
Talia watched Ranchi chatting and laughing with the military police brigade commander, and felt that by now, Ranchi had completely transformed into Landry Wassington.
Maybe even more like the real Landry than Landry.
The name of St. Creation's Monastery is so extraordinary that even the imperial military and police look up to it.
Of course this is reasonable.
After all, according to Thalia's knowledge, St. Creation Monastery is the most secretive institution of higher learning in the Southern Continent. Even if it is placed in the United Kingdom Council Alliance, it is unrivaled, and there is even less relevant information.
Being hired as a professor by this school at such a young age, he is naturally highly respected.
In this brief moment, Nicholas had already handed the official letter back to Lanci.
"It was rude of me to almost offend earlier, Professor Landry."
Kestrel Nicholas said,
"I did hear that St. Creation's Monastery has a new recruitment plan in the near future, but I didn't expect that the inaugurated person would be right in front of me."
He looked at Ranchi.
Under normal circumstances, if there is no shortage of manpower, the school will provide certain protection to this precious talent specially hired by St. Creation Monastery. However, the current situation is that there is really no way to pick up this professor so far from the northwest border.
In other words, since the professor himself has such strength, there is no need to send anyone to protect him.
Keeping his information confidential and letting him come to the capital on his own in a low-key manner is the safest way. On the contrary, sending someone to escort him would be more likely to put him in danger.
"Understood. As long as the work is beneficial to the empire, I can't have any complaints."
Lan Qi knew that Nicholas was referring to the incident where he almost put his hand on his forehead.
Nicholas nodded with a half-smile, but suddenly the conversation changed.
"By the way, since we are all going to the station hall, why not let's walk together and chat while walking. Maybe we can hear more of your insights on this incident."
He said.
"Of course, that's perfect."
Lan Qi sighed secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm and he readily agreed.
Just like trust does not require a reason, for the Imperial Secret Service Chief, suspicion also does not require a reason.
This falcon-like man never misses an opportunity to talk to important people.
"Lieutenant Colonel Burke, it seems that we have said goodbye. Although we have not known each other for a short time, it is a pleasure to meet you."
Before taking his leave, Ranch turned to greet Lieutenant Colonel Burke von Arnold.
"Goodbye, Mr. Landry, I hope we try not to meet again."
Lieutenant Colonel Burke also responded with imperial courtesy and said.
After all, it was not a good thing to see him, the gendarmerie brigade commander responsible for the outskirts of the capital.
He usually rushes to the scene only when an accident occurs.
And the one who often appears at crime scenes is a troublemaker.
After saying that, Lan Qi followed Nicholas the Kestrel and left the No. 4 carriage.
"He really didn't intend to let you go just like that."
Thalia was also chatting with Lan Qi in her mind.
"Just think of it as a free ride."
Lanqi communicated with her through thoughts.
Originally, the time might not be so tight. After all, compared with the Magic Navigation Space, the Magic Energy Rail Train rarely runs late.
However, due to the train accident, it was stalled for a long time in the Langar Mountains outside the capital, and the subsequent investigation by the Imperial Special Operations Division was unable to get off the train. Now if I look carefully, it is already past three in the afternoon.
He needs to report to school today, which means he needs to arrive at school before five o'clock.
Taking Nikola's car there, even though we still had to chat with him all the way, it was an added convenience.
However, Thalia no longer had the previous nervousness, and now her tone of mind was much more relaxed, as if she was lying on her side on the sofa watching a play.
While talking, the two of them had already passed through the door of the magic rail train and the bustling crowd, stepped onto the platform, and walked towards the station hall.
