Steel steam and flame

"It's the same thing at the next location." Eliric said to the driver. Several newcomers next to him were looking at him. Rosa didn't care who was in the car just now. These are all they will know in the future. matter.

"It's good to get used to it. If you're not used to it, you have to force yourself to get used to it. As a special operations agency that executes orders, we only need to keep an eye on the order. Don't think too much about other things. It's very dangerous." After looking at several newcomers, Eliric really hopes that they can understand this, "If you do this, at least you will be safe. When it comes to work, just follow the orders carefully. If something cannot be solved, the superiors will naturally handle it. Many times, they are responsible for some things. They don’t want us to interfere.”

"Do you know what the casualty rate of special operations agencies is every year? Five percent, which is still within the scope of Manoma. The salary is very high, and the additional benefits are also good, so it comes with great dangers. More to say here A few words, I hope you remember your responsibilities. On the one hand, the surgeon acts as the protector of the empire. On the other hand, power can best breed ambition. But that cannot be called ambition, it is called expansion. It has only appearance and no inner things, and it will not last long. , collapsing wreckage always causes damage.”

The newcomers nodded seriously, and Eliric sighed secretly. Judging from their expressions, they really didn't understand.

"What Captain Rosa just said will rot in your stomach, if you don't want to be thrown into the underground sewer to be fed to rats one day."

Three hours later, the limo arrived at the other end of Manoma. It seems quieter and a long way away from the central area. There was a car accident. The limousine crashed through the road guardrail and the front of the car plunged into the rain-soaked soil. The car door was open, and only the driver, whose head was smashed by a gunshot, was firmly restrained in the car seat by his seat belt.

The other two people were found more than 100 meters away from the limo. One person's body was penetrated and half of his body exploded. The other person's neck was pinched, and there were traces of violent struggle before death on the ground. The murderer and the deceased had a brief conversation.

There was also a stab wound on the lower jaw. The wound was almost the same as before. It was patched up after death.

"It's different to have a fever after training." Eliric looked at the sky and said with mixed emotions, "The murderer is the same person."

"Captain, are you going back?" Several old team members came over and asked. The scene had been surveyed, and except for useless footprints, they didn't even find a single bullet casing.

"We have no choice but to go back, and it's time to rest." Eliric called to his people to pack up. "It's enough to give you one day to rest. Afterwards, remember to find out the information from more than half a year ago, and start researching it from there. You may not be able to find anything.”

"Three of them were implemented smoothly according to the plan. The remaining one escaped back, which was very different from what was expected. Being with other people, the risk was very high, so we didn't take any action from the beginning. We quietly left with the people." A Tuohuan listed the names of the three dead to Ye Jielin, "There were no casualties, but dozens of people were seriously injured. They were all accompanied by varying numbers of protectors. If they had not been accidentally attacked, I think the casualties would have been It’s dozens of times more now. By daytime tomorrow, all those involved in the operation will leave Manoma for a period of time, and will come back again after receiving orders.”

"That's good. After the break, let them take a look around the new factories. The production machines are being transferred from Manoma piece by piece. Let them explore the distribution of surrounding forces. Fatty, after I return to the family, I may have one or two You can’t leave the family during the week. Regarding outside intelligence, you should focus on the things left by the three dead people. If possible, find out who received them."

Atuohuan agreed: "The knight squire assessment will come soon. Sister Lin, you should focus more on it. Selmer and I can handle these things. If not, Sotagang and Cassia are still here. .By the way, Cassia has recently been using Sotagang's transportation routes to develop arms business in some small countries. The benefits are good. Can we follow suit here? The land price in the Empire's frontier generation is very cheap, and the high expenses are all on security protection. Go. If eldest sister Lin is so willing, I can immediately send someone to start a basic investigation, and Cassia can also provide experience. In the end, if a coalition can be formed, it can continue to provide us with great benefits. "

"Okay. And wait until Cassia comes back, and ask him to give a timetable for when he will be in school and when he needs to go out to deal with his personal affairs. The next action will not be so easy, and he will need his help."

Instead of letting Atuohuan take her back, Ye Jielin drove back to her family alone.

Gabriel was already waiting for her in the room, and Ye Jielin was somewhat used to this situation. After changing her clothes in front of Gabri, Ye Jielin poured herself a glass of wine and sat across from Gabri.

"What good news did you bring me this time? Isn't there anyone following you?" Gabriel waited here for a long time. She first looked at the time and then raised her eyes to stare at Ye Jielin.

"As expected, you didn't listen to what I said. The news was sent back to the family almost simultaneously, and an investigation team was set up. It included several brothers and sisters of the deceased. They are not people who will collect evidence seriously. Even if you leave no traces, you will still pass They forge traces in various ways. That’s what they are. After all, in the few months when your father was about to retire, he gave you a lot of things from the family. There are more than a dozen military airships in the family. Too many people want it.”

"But you were smart and rushed back to the family. At least no matter how brave they were, they wouldn't dare to do anything that violated the rules inside the station. Didn't they encounter anything on the way? If you were later, I think you would have been put into a body bag, and He was brought back to the family with perfect evidence."

"Of course there is, but Webley Arms Company has always been strict about quality control. My own gift car was originally purchased with more than ten times the resources."

"That's good. Apart from bringing you some news, I can't help you much. Also, don't expect that your father's former subordinates or your brothers and sisters will help you. These people are older than You are older and can see more clearly. Once power escapes from your hands, it is really gone. They can help you solve some small problems, but now..."

Gabriel stood up after drinking: "They all want to stay in their original positions for a while. The power of the patriarch is only slightly lower than that of the elders. Maybe he is not clean inside. There must be people who are truly loyal to the family, but It is true that there are not many, and they cannot withstand a thorough investigation. Of course, there is also the reason why external pressure is not strong enough to crush them into one group."

"As the patriarch of a huge family, you'd better not doubt his loyalty to the family easily. As your father's secretary-general, I can see this very clearly. Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice the interests of some clan members in exchange for the future of the family. . So, if possible, it’s okay to deal with small problems. For big things, just treat it as a considerate father and don’t make the noise too big.”

"Thank you for the wine. If I have better wine next time I come here, I think I will be very happy. Maybe I will say something when I am drunk."

Ye Jielin looked at the empty cabinet, and a few wine bottles on the table still had a strong fragrance. After waiting like this for half an hour, there was a knock on the door. She knew that the investigation team was coming.

Cassia returned to Manoma five days later, went to the factory to discuss some matters with Delya, and then came to the rented house.

The indicator light on the advanced communication machine is on, and it has a voice recording module that can save unanswered calls for a period of time. Judging from the time, I just contacted him a day ago.

Press the button, and the electronic sound perfectly reproduces Ni Liya's voice as a bartender. It is gentle and magnetic, just like a mother reading fairy tales when a child is sleeping: "Mr. Tussos, I don't know how long it will take for you to hear , but this task is effective within a week from the beginning of the contact. In the Third Golden Bank branch in the west of Manoma, I have stored a document with detailed information on it, which can be retrieved using only the account and password ,,,,,,"
