Chapter 711: Lanqi was born to do this

The Brillda Magic Rail Train has been stopped at the Capital Station for a while.

But the passengers on the bus were not allowed to get off for the time being.

Compared with the Capital Garrison who would try to appease the passengers, the Imperial Special Operations Department was obviously tougher and more resolute. When conducting searches, they would not take public sentiment into consideration, nor would they care about public opinion. They would always ensure that military opportunities were not lost.

Red Falcon Nikolai took the investigation report handed over by Lieutenant Colonel Burke, the commander of the Military Police Brigade, quickly read it through and then returned it to Lieutenant Colonel Burke.

"All passengers will be checked, and those who are suspicious will be taken away. The crew members and drivers should not be left out either!"

Red Falcon Nikolai raised his hand and gave instructions loudly. The agents of the Domestic Secret Service Section 1 quickly walked onto the train. The carriage doors were closed again. They opened the passenger list and started from carriage number four, heading towards both ends, checking everyone on the train one by one.

"Is this matter serious?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke knew he shouldn't ask that.

Because the accident itself was quite serious.

However, compared to the train attack, if the identity of the attackers also involves all the reactionary forces that the bigwigs in the empire now pay special attention to, then the nature of the matter is different.

“…”

Nicholas, the man called "Red Falcon" by the head of the gendarmerie, Lieutenant Colonel Burke, still stayed at the door of carriage No. 4. He did not speak, but answered Lieutenant Colonel Burke's questions with his eyes.

Next second.

His gaze gradually shifted from Lieutenant Colonel Burke to Lanci.

Nikolai was not in a hurry to go to other carriages because the important person was actually right in front of him.

It only takes one glance to tell that the man who was personally investigated and escorted by the commander of the Second Military Police Brigade must be the core figure in this train riot.

"Sir, are you coming to the capital alone?"

Red Kestrel Nikolai put his hand on his chest, saluted slightly to Lanqi, and asked when he looked at him again.

"certainly."

Lanqi answered calmly and looked at Nicholas with some curiosity, as if he didn't understand why Nicholas asked that.

The attitude of the spy chief Nicholas was much more polite than Lanqi expected.

Perhaps it was because he saw that his current identity, Landry Wasington, was a nobleman. Of course, it was also possible that this internal spy chief was a smiling tiger.

"So you don't have any accomplices?"

Red Kestrel Nicholas' smile disappeared, and his voice became completely cold.

When this question was raised, Lieutenant Colonel Burke beside Lanci's face froze, as if he sensed something was wrong.

"Accomplice?"

Lanqi looked at Nicholas in confusion.

Talia just felt her heart pounding.

She didn't know how this spy named Nicholas found the flaw from just a few moments of observation and detailed information! But it was obvious that there was something wrong with Lanqi, and neither she nor Lanqi realized it.

She said that Lanqi shouldn't always do extreme things. She wanted to get off the car now, but Lanqi was her host, and she couldn't run away at all! "Hehe."

Nicholas the Red Kestrel sneered twice.

"Then let me ask you another way. Why did you help the assassin on the bus escape? And why did you kill the passenger in the same compartment with you?"

Nicholas continued to move closer aggressively.

His eyes seemed to make the air a little colder.

And the place where he was had become an interrogation room.

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Lanqi asked back, confused.

Lieutenant Colonel Burke kept his expression unchanged while analyzing possible oversights in his previous investigation.

Based on the results of the gendarmerie's previous investigation on the train.

This black-haired, blue-eyed noble young man named Landry Wasington and the old man Lovia who shared the same compartment with him got on a bus at the border of Botswana Province. On the way, they were attacked by an extremely dangerous person on the bus. According to investigation, it was 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 fooled by the female killer's sixth-level assassin's smoke screen spell and failed to catch her. She also took the old man away.

If you think about it carefully, all of this matches up with the survey results.

But a large part of it is Landry's own monologue.

As long as it can be covered up, then what he said is what he meant. The most critical question is why did the female killer kidnap an ordinary old man who happened to be the passenger in the same compartment as Landry? Burke gradually understood the suspicion of Red Falcon Nicola.

If Landry was the criminal from the beginning, then all the sense of incongruity could be eliminated, the story would be overturned and reshaped.

"You don't have to pretend anymore, you lame bastard."

Nicholas seemed to lose his patience and reached out his hand towards Lanqi's face, trying to grab his forehead.

Or just kill him! However.

When his hand was about to touch Lanqi's eyes.

Lanci remained motionless.

Nicholas's hand also stopped precisely.

"Why don't you hide?"

Nicholas asked.

"Because I am not afraid, I believe justice is on my side."

Lanqi's expression remained unchanged and his eyes were still as clear as waves.

This plain question and answer made Lieutenant Colonel Burke, who was standing beside him, break out in a cold sweat.

If the Imperial Special Operations Department accidentally killed innocent passengers or even nobles here, such a serious accident would certainly implicate their Capital Garrison Command.

Fortunately, Nicholas was just testing the waters.

"I am sorry for my impoliteness, Mr. Landry. I just did my usual screening of investigators. I am doing my duty. Please forgive me."

Nikolai the Kestrel withdrew his gloved hand and apologized to Lanqi.

"Huh, you really scared me. What did I do wrong to be targeted by you like this?"

Lanqi breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled.

"Damn it, he wants to cheat, right?!"

Talia now understood that Nikolai actually didn't see anything.

Anyway, just try to draw a prize first. If the person being tempted can't withstand the psychological pressure and his expression reveals a flaw, the case can be closed directly.

Fortunately, the only thing about Lanqi that is not like a human is his mental quality.

His heart rate didn't even speed up under these circumstances.

"Don't worry, Tata. My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror. Everything I do is just. No words can shake me."

Lanqi felt that Tata was frightened and comforted him in his heart.

“…”

Wait for Lanci.

You didn't play any psychological warfare, are you really not guilty? Talia was a little confused.

"But Mr. Landry, could you please describe again the disappearance of Mr. Lovia, who shared the same cubicle with you? I still can't understand why the female killer would kidnap such an innocent old man. You are the only eyewitness present, and I would like to hear your opinion."

Although the atmosphere has become much more relaxed, it can be seen that Nikolai the Kestrel still remains skeptical.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lanqi.

These words seemed to make Lieutenant Colonel Burke beside him concerned again.

"How are you going to explain it? I felt from the beginning that your lie was a bit far-fetched."

A haze of despair shrouded Talia's heart. She now felt that the more Lanqi explained, the more mistakes he would make, but not explaining would not work either.

But Nikolai the Red Kestrel will never let him go easily and let him get away with it.

"rest assured."

At the critical moment, Lanqi remained calm and chatted with Talia in his mind in a double thread.

"Before that, I have a question for Section Chief Nicholas."

Lanqi looked at Nicholas the Red Kestrel and said.

"oh?"

Red Kestrel Nicholas neither agreed nor objected, as if he wanted to listen to Lanqi's question first, or perhaps this question itself was enough to infer a lot of information.

"In your opinion, who is the identity of that female killer? Because it was the train broadcast that first informed us passengers that an extremely dangerous person had appeared on the train, which means that the Imperial Special Operations Department must have received the intelligence first."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lanqi frowned slightly, raised his hand and lightly touched his chin, and spoke while thinking.

It must be some major internal problem that is worthy of Nicholas, the chief of the Domestic Intelligence Section, to come and investigate in person.

"Of course I have no intention of prying into military intelligence, but since Section Chief Nicholas asked me to make an inference, I also need corresponding information as supplementary information to be accurate enough."

Lanqi added.

“…”

Kestrel Nikolai was silent for a moment.

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 also a big fish."

He spoke.

Anyway, the big fish has already escaped and the time has been missed, so the value of this information has dropped to a level that can be shown.

"Silver Moon Reform Society...?"

This time Lanqi was a little confused, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but tremble.

"You may not know much about this organization since you just arrived in the capital, but you only need to know that this organization is absolutely harmful to the empire and is also a major concern for the bigwigs above."

Nikolai the Kestrel added something rare.

"This imperial spy didn't lie. The intelligence from the Imperial Special Operations Department seems to have really identified Miss Unity as an extremely dangerous member of the Silver Moon Reform Society."

Talia reminded Lanqi in his heart and told him the results of the lie detection test.

"Why, in Mr. Landry's opinion, shouldn't she be a member of the Silver Moon Reformation Society?"

Red Kestrel Nicholas seemed to have grasped a hint of detail and got the answer from Lanqi's reaction.

This black-haired, blue-eyed young man just showed genuine hesitation for the first time.

Such awkwardness showed that the other party was definitely not a member of the Silver Moon Reform Society. Correspondingly, he might have other key information.

"Of course, I personally feel that person doesn't look like the Silver Moon Reform Society you mentioned."

Lanci answered frankly.

"So who do you think she is?"

Red Kestrel Nicholas frowned, as if he felt that this answer was worthless and not the answer he wanted.

He would be quite disappointed if today's investigation clues ended here with this black-haired, blue-eyed young man.

"The female assassin is more like an Allied spy. Besides, Mr. Lovia had a pleasant conversation with me along the way. I shouldn't slander him like this. But the fact is that Mr. Lovia talked to the female assassin for a while, and they obviously didn't use the language of the Empire, if I heard correctly."

Lanci continued to explain with a serious look.

“…”

Nicholas the Kestrel fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Lieutenant Colonel Burke on the side had a shocked expression and stared at Lanqi who said something shocking.

Allied spies, that's a foreign issue.

To some extent, its severity is on another level from that of the Silver Moon Restoration.

"Are you sure what you said is correct?"

Nikolai the Kestrel asked Lanqi word by word.

Although if the clue points to "Lovia is an Allied spy", then everything becomes clear, there may be a big case behind it.

However, there is a prerequisite for this, which is whether the 62-year-old publisher Lovia really has a problem.

"certainly."

Lanci nodded confidently.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Landry for the information. We will follow up and investigate the person you mentioned, Lovia. If your information is useful, I will come to thank you on behalf of the Empire Special Operations Department and apply for a commendation for you."

Nikolai the Red Kestrel smiled and looked at Lanqi and stretched out his hand.

This answer is enough.

His years of work experience made him always feel that this young man named Landry was a mystery, or he didn't want to believe this young man from the bottom of his heart.

If their Imperial Special Operations Department continues to investigate and finds suspicious points in Lovia, then they can naturally prove the innocence of Landry Wassington. By the way, this is also a great achievement. In comparison, the escape of dangerous elements of unknown identity and level in the Silver Moon Restoration is not a big deal.

But if there is nothing wrong with Lovia, Landry would be like self-destructing, and he would arrest him immediately.

"You're welcome. We are all citizens of the Empire. It is our responsibility and obligation, as well as our mission and honor, to contribute to the Empire at this critical moment."

Lanqi held Nicholas' hand and said forcefully.

In Lanqi's heart, Talia became uneasy again.

"Lanqi, what he said is also true. He has always been suspicious of you, and the investigation into you will never end! You shouldn't tell such a big lie."

Talia reminded Ranch.

She could read the mind of Nikolai the Red Falcon, 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. I promise that you will eat well and sleep well every day in the Empire, and you won't have to live in fear."

Lanqi telepathically spoke to Talia.

Next, he just needs to secretly report the information that "Lovia, a native of Gran Waverly on the northern border of the Cretan Empire, is a 62-year-old publisher, a border civilian with a little savings, who wants to come to the imperial capital Brillda to do some business, but is actually a spy from the Person Kingdom lurking in the Cretan Empire many years ago." This will allow the empire to successfully find out the problem with Lovia's identity. As the apparent provider of clues, Landry will be a great contributor.

"You were born to do this..."

After reading Lanqi's thoughts, Talia was almost speechless for a moment.

This time, perhaps due to the situation, Lanqi had to do this, and it can even be said to be quite impeccable. Often the deeper the doubts, the more trust one will have when he finds out that he has actually misunderstood, because of guilt and relief.

Although this may not work well for a very suspicious person like Nikolai the Red Kestrel, he may not necessarily feel guilty and may even remain skeptical.

But if Lanqi continues to act like this, Red Falcon Nikolai might really put Lanqi on the whitelist.

How come this kid is like a fish back to water once he arrives in the Empire...

Is this acting or is this true...
