The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

Not long after, remote projections of Han Xiao, Clottey, and Sherlock appeared in the office.

"His Excellency the Head of State."

The three nodded.

Ulan Riel nodded, pointed to the report on the virtual screen, and said straight to the point: "This is the result of your work during this time? I'm not very satisfied, you know that what I want is not this kind of evidence to fool outsiders .”

Sherlock took a step forward and said bravely: "Your Excellency, we have been trying to track down the whereabouts of the real culprit, but the enemy has no flaws, and we have no clue, just as we discovered the mutual relationship between the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance and Manison. Framed, so..."

He explained the recent work of the task force. Simply put, there were no real clues, but a lot of forged evidence was collected.

Seeing more and more doubts from the outside world, coupled with pressure and hints from high-level officials, in desperation, Sherlock can only extract part of these forged clues and use his reasoning and analysis ability to form a self-consistent chain of evidence. It's fake, but after his analysis, it sounds like the real thing.

Ulan Riel frowned, "Give me an exact statement, how long do you think it will take to find the real culprit."

"...It seems that there is no prospect at present, unless some breakthrough is found." Sherlock shook his head helplessly.

"Both of you think the same?" Ulan Riel turned his head.

Clottey's face sank, she nodded slowly without speaking.

Han Xiao spread his hands, making a look of "I can't do anything", and said:

"The people who attacked Gothe were very cunning and left no flaws. Even I have no clue. According to the current situation, I think the empire can only look at the problem from a different angle. Considering the interests, we need to find a suitable The target of the crime, in order to temporarily calm the turmoil, the Transcendent star cluster is the most suitable... and they are eager to get rid of the crime, there are still some tricks in it, so it is not wronged them."

Ulan Riel shook his head and said: "But someone from the outside world will definitely see through our plan, and the Transcendent star cluster will not easily plead guilty. This is for the empire..."

"I know your concerns, but it's not important." Han Xiao interrupted her, and talked eloquently: "When Gothe was attacked, the empire lost, and it was already a loser, so we can only try our best to recover, but What the empire needs most now is the result. Showing attitude and force can't seal other people's mouths, but it can seal other people's guts. In this way, even if someone ridicules, those who should be afraid will still be afraid, and the goal will be achieved. .”

"But in this way, the real murderer will die laughing when he sees that the empire has hit the wrong person? Will some people with ulterior motives think that the empire can take advantage of it?" Ulan Riel said in a deep voice.

This is what she is worried about. Once the outside world sees through the actions of the empire, some people will think that the empire is easy to deceive, which also reduces the prestige of the empire.

"That can't be helped, the lesser of two evils, there has to be a trade-off, you can't always do things according to your preferences, right?" Han Xiao's face was as thick as armor, and he smiled: "Besides, this may not be a bad thing. , let him have a chance to show his feet, maybe one day, it will bring us a breakthrough."

The senior officials of the intelligence department who were watching also echoed: "Your Excellency Black Star is right, we always have to make a choice."

Ulan Riel sighed and signed the order, "Then do it."

In fact, when this proposal appeared on his desk, Ulan Riel understood that it was the silent consensus of the top management of the empire, and she only had to sign it. The head of state can't do whatever he wants, and is also walking in compromise and checks and balances. She is about to step down from her post, and she can't do whatever she wants.

After signing the order, Ulan Riel was inexplicably relaxed and shook his head.

"It seems that the task of finding the real culprit can only be handed over to the next head of state. It's okay, I can relax a lot."

At this time, Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said: "Actually, we have fallen into inertial thinking. There is another possibility of Gothe's disappearance. I wonder if the empire has considered it?"

Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked over.

"Oh? Tell me." Ulan Riel became interested.

"You said, is it possible that this is Gothe's own behavior, actively pretending to be dead and disappearing?"

Hearing this, the senior intelligence officer couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Excellency Black Star, we have made this assumption a long time ago, and the final judgment is impossible. Gothe has no such motive."

"I don't think so." Han Xiao shook his head. "The direct line may not be completely loyal. Is it possible that he just wants to use the resources of the empire to step into the Transcendent A Grade, and then cheat death to jump out of the camp and hide his name."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at everyone secretly, took into account the disapproving expressions of several people, and immediately added:

"Of course, I'm just making a logical judgment. I don't know Gothe's background and life experience, so naturally I don't believe him completely. Anyway, in my eyes, this kind of thing is not impossible. Has there ever been one in history? example?"

Sherlock was thoughtful, "Well, your suspicion is justified, Gothe's time for the empire is still too short."

Ulan Riel glared at him, and said in an old bureaucratic tone: "You don't have to worry about it. The empire has its own system for reviewing the direct line, and it will not accept any suspicious people. The empire absolutely trusts the loyalty of the direct line... "

Han Xiao glanced at Clottey who was expressionless, and he knew that Ulan Riel didn't want to continue this topic here.

He shook his head and smiled, pretending to be casual: "Well, I just mentioned it casually."

But Sherlock persisted and asked: "I'm more curious, why do you have the idea of ​​Gao De's death? There must be some factors that make you have this idea. Do you think he has any doubts?"

Han Xiao froze for a moment, and glanced at him in surprise.

This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes likes to laugh so much? I don't know if I should say that you have a strong thirst for knowledge, or should I say that you didn't pay attention to the occasion when you spoke, and didn't see that the high-ranking imperial intelligence officer next to you was already winking.

Han Xiao suddenly realized that this was a rhythmic opportunity, rolled his eyes, coughed feignedly, and said:

"On the one hand, I can't find any clues. It's too clean. It's not like an outsider attack. On the other hand... it's not that Gothe has revealed any doubts, but I happen to know a guy who successfully faked his death, so I think of it. up."

"Who is that?" Sherlock asked curiously.

"This person is also famous. You must know him. He is Sorokin from the Infinite Consortium."

Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Han Xiao continued on his own:

"I discovered his little secret by coincidence. He is not as weak as he appears on the surface. I feel threatened from him. His strength may not be inferior to mine, but he has always shown himself as a weak person. I don't know what to plan. And , His soul's real age seems to be far older than now, I tested him, and found that he may be a super A Grade in history, suspected of using death tricks to hide his name until now..."

He concealed some key information and exposed Sorokin's background with ambiguous words, which made several people doubtful.

"How do you know?" Ulan Riel wondered.

"This involves a certain cosmic treasure I got not long ago, which has miraculous effects in the soul domain." Han Xiao smiled, without explaining in detail, and pretended to be an unfathomable gesture.

Ulan Riel knew that Han Xiao didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask, thinking about Sorokin's previous behavior, he said thoughtfully: "If this is true, then Sorokin's plan is very big, and we need to adjust the attitude towards him. attitude..."

She won't believe it right away, but Han Xiao has a lot of political assets, and even has the wonderful bonus of [Civilization Leader Assassin], so the information he tells is more valued.

Ulan Riel intends to investigate Sorokin privately. Compared with Black Star, Sorokin is an outsider.

Seeing this, Han Xiao stopped short, and didn't want to reveal too much, as long as the empire was interested in Sorokin.

This is the benefit of Shangda Tianting. Today happened to be the right time, and he gave Sorokin eye drops directly in front of the empire.

After all, it is only an expedient measure for the empire to blame the superstar cluster. In the future, we will continue to find the murderer. The matter is not over, so Han Xiao really wants to take the opportunity to mess with Sorokin.

This guy is proficient in the dog's way of being able to bend and stretch. He hides too deep and doesn't know what he is planning. If he can be exposed so that he can no longer pretend to be a chicken, it will undoubtedly be a good thing.

With the matter of Gothe, once Sorokin's strength is exposed, he will become the object of suspicion.

Although in the view of Great Technician Han, Suo Zai has no motive for committing the crime, but at least he can disgust this bastard... Huh, let him plot against Lao Tzu behind his back every day, is it for nothing to treat him as our little book? !

"Okay, that's it. I have nothing to ask. If there is nothing else..."

Ulan Riel was about to end the communication, but before he finished speaking, he heard Han Xiao speak again.

"Wait a minute, there is one last thing."

"...you say." Ulan Riel gritted his teeth secretly.

She thought that Han Xiao was going to make some small report again, but she saw Han Xiao suddenly straightened his face, with a serious face, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, I am now talking to you as the vice president of the Transcendent A Grade Association. I support the empire's actions against the Transcendent star cluster, but I hope that this matter will not implicate the members of the association."

Hearing this, the spirits of the few present were lifted, and they looked at Han Xiao in surprise, and their faces became serious.

"Continue." Ulan Riel narrowed his eyes.

"I believe we all know that the direct lineage of the Transcendent Star Cluster is hidden in the neutral Transcendent A Grade. I support the Empire's targeting of the Transcendent Star Cluster this time, but I don't want the Transcendent A Grade of the Transcendent Star Cluster to be among the ranks of the Empire's revenge. I am not covering up the murderer, but I am asking the empire not to anger some neutral and suspected Transcendent A Grades of Transcendent star clusters, maybe there are murderers among them, but they are protected by the association before the real murderer is proven."

Han Xiao's expression was solemn, and he had a posture of fighting for reason even if he offended the empire.

Ulan Riel and others immediately understood what he meant. Black Star knew the ins and outs and how the evidence came from. Although he supported the empire's actions, he didn't want it to become an excuse for the empire to use Transcendent A Grade, so he planned ahead.

One yard for one yard, it’s okay to hit a super star cluster, but you can’t implicate other unrelated Transcendent A Grades!

The transition of identity is seamless. In the last second, he was an ally for the empire, and in the next second, he became the vice president of the Transcendent A Grade Association, seeking a job in his position.

"You are really watertight." Ulan Riel's eyes were complicated.

"If you don't speak for the association, will I be the vice president after the news spreads?" Han Xiao didn't care.

"...Okay, I see, the empire's targets are limited to the forces of the Transcendent star cluster alliance. Before obtaining complete evidence, they will not attack their hidden direct descendant Transcendent A Grade. After all, the association has also expressed its position to assist us."

Ulan Riel sighed.

Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled again, thought for a while, and said:

"Okay, if the empire doesn't mind, please cooperate with me to promote it. Let's say that the empire originally wanted to track down the whereabouts of the neutral Transcendent A Grade, and even conduct a compulsory interrogation, but I fought hard with the empire, maintained the members of the association, and finally convinced the empire. Dispel the idea of ​​​​the empire, and highlight my role in it."

"..."

Although they didn't speak, their eyes all revealed the same information.

Wow, you are so rude and shameless!

"……OK."

Ulan Riel took a deep breath to calm down, otherwise she couldn't help but grab the thermos cup on the table and smash it at Han Xiao.

Although she was full of slander, she still decided to publicize it to increase Black Star's voice and reputation in the association. Black Star presides over the association, which is more beneficial to the empire than harmful. This kind of prestige is not cheap for one's own people, but who else can be cheap.

After getting a definite answer, Han Xiao left with a smile.

He released the remote projection, and his perspective returned to the office where the main body was, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"My wave of rhythm finally completely led the way of the empire astray..."

Han Xiao felt a lot more relaxed.

Fortunately, his political assets are sufficient, making it easier for the empire to accept his opinions.

If it weren't for Manison and the Transcendent star cluster to explode each other, he would have to spend a little bit of effort, but now he just picked up the ready-made ones and made use of it. It can be said that the two sides helped him, making things a lot easier, and directly grasping the main Contradictory, no bells and whistles required.

Moreover, it can also increase the prestige of the association, allowing members to see the "responsibility" of the vice president who is willing to argue with the empire in order to safeguard the interests of the association. As the saying goes, a leader who does not fight for the interests of his subordinates is not a good leader. This wave is estimated It can convince more people and see the benefits of presiding over power.

It’s hard for Han Xiao to say how many birds were hit by this stone. He only knows that the negative impact of Gothe’s attack has been eliminated by himself. When the empire announces that it will take action against the superstar cluster, things should come to an end temporarily. .

As for other unknown chain reactions, he can only wait and see.

...

On the other side, only Ulan Riel and Clottey were left in the head of state's office.

Ulan Riel pinched his fingers subconsciously, his face hesitated, and after a while, he whispered:

"Do you think he will be the next Tool Nation?"

Clottey glanced at her and shook her head.

"He is a hundred times more dangerous than Tool Nation."
