Don't confiscate my citizenship

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, commander of the military police brigade, 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 1 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.

The 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.

"certainly."

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!

"Hmph."

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."

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 asked in confusion.

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.

"Huh, it really shocked me. What on earth did I commit to deserve to be targeted like this by you?"

Lan Qi 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 Lanci 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, so he comforted him 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 describe again the disappearance of Mr. Lovia, who is in the same room with you? I still don'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 Lan Qi.

These words seemed to make Lieutenant Colonel Burke on the side pay attention again.

"How should you be honest? From the beginning, I thought your lie was a bit far-fetched."

The haze of despair shrouded Thalia'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, who 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.

"..."

Kestrel Nicholas 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 came 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 mind 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 clues stop with this young man with black hair and blue eyes, he will be quite disappointed.

"The female killer is more like a spy for the Allied forces, and how can I put it, Mr. Lovia and I had a good chat with each other 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.

"certainly."

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.

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 members of the Empire. 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 Nicholas Kestrel, 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 more suspicious of Lan Qi.

"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 to the Empire, allowing the Empire to successfully find out Lovia's identity. He, Landry, was a major contributor as the provider of clues on the surface. .

"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...
