Chapter 747, Finding Someone to Take the Blame
Gu Hang didn't want to take action so directly, but there was no other way.
He came to participate in person just to confirm the information.
However, the Dark Eldar's camouflage technique was indeed powerful, and it would take a psyker of his level to be able to detect it at such a close distance.
This technology must be the most advanced for the Dark Eldar, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve such an effect.
Not every Dark Eldar lurker can use this technology and have a similar level of skill. Otherwise, the group that caused trouble in the Spider Web Universe would not have been caught so easily by the people of the Anti-foreign Order.
But it was precisely because they were too close that they were able to detect it, which caused the Dark Eldar lurker to realize that he had been discovered.
He wanted to run away immediately.
Then Gu Hang had no choice but to catch him.
Only Gu Hang can do this.
The strength of a dark lurker of this level is actually quite exaggerated. Normal agents have no ability to catch him. His frontal combat ability alone is probably comparable to that of the company champion among space warriors, not to mention that he also has various special skills such as hiding, escaping, and bewitching the mind.
If you want to solve the problem quickly and quietly, Gu Hang really has to take the lead.
Once we start to do this, it would be better to just go all out and resolve all the issues once and for all.
That's why Gu Hang personally led the team to attack Yu Jinwen's official residence directly.
Without any scruples, everyone was caught in one fell swoop.
The agents of the Foreign Intelligence Service focused on capturing Yu Jinwen himself, while Gu Hang went around and caught all the lurkers in one fell swoop.
The effect was very clear. There were seventeen Dark Eldar lurkers captured by Gu Hang, all of whom were senior staff members of the High Lord's Mansion.
This is also the core reason why Gu Hang dared to take action.
What is the Foreign Affairs Bureau? It is the intelligence department of the Alliance, subordinate to the Alliance Ambassador, and stationed in Holy Terra. They have already crossed the line just by collecting intelligence. They just collect some public intelligence and do some analysis work. They keep an eye on people in secret. They don't really cross the line. They don't plant spies or lurk in other forces. This is how they can barely exist and let people turn a blind eye.
How could they have any law enforcement power in Holy Terra?
It is against the rules to attack an ordinary person, let alone raid the residence of a high lord's representative and arrest the authorized representative of the high lord.
If this matter gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Even if there are reasonable reasons, causing trouble for a high lord representative without law enforcement power is a very treasonous act with very high political risks.
Gu Hang did this because he was forced into a corner. He couldn't let those Dark Eldar lurkers, who were very good at hiding, escape when the other party had already noticed them.
On the other hand, he has some means of remediation.
He has no law enforcement power, but someone else does.
The Ministry of Justice or the Tribunal can do either.
It's not easy to call the former, because the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Justice is now an acting one, and all of them are Qi Bodu's men. He hasn't even entered the Council of High Lords, and they can't handle the situation there.
The Inquisition could handle it, especially the specialized religious orders that were most suitable for this task. Moreover, Gu Hang's relationship with them was the best among the three major factions of the Inquisition.
However, after thinking about it, Gu Hang decided not to ask them for help.
The relationship is good, but it is obviously not close enough to become "one of our own". Will the Inquisition be willing to help Gu Hang take the blame for "illegally attacking the High Lord"?
It's difficult.
This is very offensive.
Even if they were willing, it would be a huge political handle that the Tribunal had in its hands. Gu Hang didn't know how much he had to pay and how much benefit he had to give up in order to satisfy the Tribunal's appetite.
In this respect, good relationships only give him a threshold to connect with others. If it were someone else, they wouldn't even be able to cross this threshold.
The Tribunal can only be an alternative.
Apart from the Inquisition and the Ministry of Justice, there is one person who is most suitable to take the blame - the Emperor's Guards.
These corn spirits are the toughest ones. No matter how big the blame is, they can bear it, and they are not afraid of anyone coming to cause trouble - no one dares to do so.
If they were somewhere else, Gu Hang would not be able to find them. The Imperial Guards had no interest in matters outside the Imperial Palace.
But as the representative of the high lord, Yu Jinwen's residence is inside the imperial palace.
Logically speaking, the security of the entire palace was the responsibility of the Imperial Guards. So, if an alien lurker appeared here, it should be the Imperial Guards who should be responsible, and no one could argue with that.
In fact, to some extent, they should be held responsible.
It's just that no one dares to pursue this responsibility.
But after the last communication between Gu Hang and Marshal Yan Xinzhen, Gu Hang realized that this commander of the imperial guards, who had lived for who knows how many years, was still a man of great integrity and would not do things like shirking responsibility.
After thinking it over, he made a prompt decision and contacted the Imperial Guards.
Yan Xinzhen left him a dedicated communication device.
After the call was connected, the communication between Gu Hang and Yan Xinzhen ended with a few simple words.
A moment later, golden light appeared on the horizon.
More than twenty imperial guards quickly arrived at the scene in hovercrafts and tactical hoverbikes.
Under Gu Hang's arrangement, the agents of the Foreign Affairs Bureau gave up their positions early and refused to communicate with the Imperial Guards. After confirming that the Imperial Guards had taken over the entire mansion, including all the captives, and no one came to trouble them, these agents quietly withdrew.
Only Gu Hang was left here to welcome the many imperial guards.
These corn spirits did not make things difficult for Gu Hang.
Two imperial guards came over, one guarded Yu Jinwen, and the other took Gu Hang aside to wait.
Gu Hang was very cooperative.
What he wanted to know had already been obtained from Yu Jinwen and the minds of those captured and suppressed lurkers who couldn't even commit suicide. At this time, he didn't need to make any extra moves.
The attitude of the Imperial Guards was also quite polite. After all, Gu Hang had been invited by the Marshal to be his guest not long ago. Even among them, there was information about Gu Hang's terrifying psychic power. Every member of the Imperial Guards was considered a top expert. But because of this, they were more aware than ordinary people of how terrifying the psychic power represented by Gu Hang was.
The captain of the imperial guards who led the team came over to meet Gu Hang in person just a little bit late.
Gu Hang couldn't see his expression because of the helmet, but he guessed that he was not in a good mood.
