1284 Guess, Guess, Guess
"His Royal Highness the eldest prince wants to see you..." the butler whispered in the prime minister's ear.
The Prime Minister frowned and said, "Tell him..." He paused and changed his mind, "Arrange for someone to watch him and not let him leave the prison or let him have contact with the outside world, except for special matters. Anyone related to him does not need to contact me again.”
The Prime Minister knew exactly what the eldest prince wanted to do.
The emperor is still undergoing surgery, and the eldest prince's immediate purpose of jumping out is definitely not to visit his father, but for the throne, or freedom.
Without an emperor who has served his sentence, the empire cannot lack an emperor. If the emperor dies, the eldest prince, as the first heir, will inevitably ascend the throne and become the new emperor.
Then he can pardon himself. After all...he still has this little power.
But the Prime Minister doesn't want the eldest prince to jump out at this time, which will cause unpredictable changes in many plans, so the best way is to keep him imprisoned in prison.
Don't let him die, don't let him speak, don't let him die.
After solving this small problem, the Prime Minister asked another question, "How is the situation over there with His Majesty?"
The butler did not answer immediately. He needed to think about how to answer the question properly and express what he wanted to express clearly.
About ten seconds later, he answered the Prime Minister's question with another fact.
"I saw that the palace doctors summoned many experts from outside. The specific situation is still unclear."
A look of understanding flashed in the prime minister's eyes. It was already clear that the emperor might not wake up.
He rubbed his temples, dismissed the butler, and walked to the chair again and sat down again.
There were many officials in the room, and it was very taboo for the steward to say that the emperor was dying, regardless of whether he was telling the truth or not.
The royal family may use the question of the butler's wording to attack the prime minister, throw dirty water on these vested interests, and possibly cause the situation to recur.
So the butler's answer was very clever. He seemed to have answered nothing, and yet he seemed to have said everything. No one could use his words to cause trouble to him, the Prime Minister and more. After all, what he said was the truth.
"Sorry, something was delayed. Where did we just talk about...", the Prime Minister glanced at the documents on the table, "...yes, has the federal fleet returned?"
He had just talked with the Federation's diplomatic ambassador. Both parties had the same desire to stabilize the current political situation in Gefra. After declining the Federation's offer to help the Prime Minister solve the current predicament, the Prime Minister personally sent the Ambassador away in a car.
In the process, he not only showed Gaevra's strong desire for independence and autonomy, but also showed the iron-blooded character that Gaevra people should have.
"We are not afraid and dare to go to war with our enemies..." This was half a sentence of the Prime Minister's statement to the federal ambassador.
More than half an hour has passed now. After all, the news should have come.
The military representative stood by the door of the room. He was whispering to a soldier outside the door. When the Prime Minister asked this question, he immediately gave a positive answer.
"Their fleet has turned, but the departure speed is not very fast. We keep a safe distance from each other until they leave far enough..."
The words of the military representative made the Prime Minister feel a little relieved. "Then the next question is, has the person we want to arrest been caught?"
The head of the police department looked embarrassed. Speaking of police, maybe the federal people looked down upon the police profession.
This is normal, because the federal police is indeed a less positive and powerful agency.
But the police in Gafra are not. The police department has many branches, from the police who manage public security, to the internal police, the special police... This is an agency whose power has been somewhat distorted.
The reason why it exists is not because of the excellence of its management system or Gaevra's security system, but purely because it is a rights-based country.
In other words, it is a country based on nobility.
As long as the head of the headquarters is not a noble, no matter how much power he is given, he can only be a dog of the nobles.
Of course, these are all things of the past. After the monarchy is restructured, the police department will be the first to be dismembered.
This also made the Prime Minister look at the head of the headquarters less friendly at this time. The person sitting in this position knows too many dirty things. When people's power is expanded, he will become dangerous.
If the overall situation is not considered, the assassination of the emperor will be very helpful in dismembering the police department.
Under the disturbing gaze of the Prime Minister, the head of the headquarters wiped the sweat from his forehead, "We have found the introducer who introduced the assassin to work as a cleaner, and we are continuing to dig up. As for the identity of the assassin..."
"We suspect it is fake."
Then the Prime Minister saw a piece of information about a man with a somewhat abnormal mind and a solitary personality, and his experience of teaching in the Amelia area.
But it was precisely this experience that made the Prime Minister a little confused. Could it be the revenge of the anti-government militants in Amelia?
This is not completely impossible. Not to mention that the anti-government militants were swept back and forth, Lynch and his group were very enthusiastic.
They often design traps to lure some socially unstable elements to actively join resistance organizations, and then kill these people cleanly.
Amelia can now be stabilized. In addition to the fact that the local people are tired of the long-term confrontation without any positive rewards, the more important thing is that the thornheads have basically been killed.
This is not a simple word. It means that at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people were labeled as anti-government militants and executed under intentional or unintentional guidance.
It may not be impossible for an assassin to suddenly appear among these people.
"Whether this clue is true or false, continue to pursue it and ask the people from Amelia to cooperate. Other clues will also continue to be pursued."
The Prime Minister arranged the work first, and then his tone became slightly harsher, "It has been several hours since His Majesty was assassinated, but we still don't know the identity of the assassin, where he went, and whether he is still here. here."
"I am very disappointed with your work, Mr. Headmaster."
The police chief wanted to argue, what the hell does this have to do with him?
Well, it has something to do with it, he is the one who bears all the consequences, but when there are benefits, he is also the first to enjoy them.
Returns and risks in this world are often directly proportional, and this is true in most cases.
He was so helpless that he could only turn into an apology.
The Prime Minister waved his hand, "I don't need to be sorry. What I need is to see the progress of the investigation of the case. I hope you can give me some good news next time I ask this question. Let's do something now."
He has decided to remove the head of the headquarters. At this time, it is necessary to make the other party feel some pressure.
After the headquarters chief left, the prime minister made a lot of work arrangements, and the current situation in the imperial capital is relatively stable.
The people in the room left after getting their work assignments, and there were fewer and fewer people, until he was the only one left.
He turned to look at the bright sunshine outside the window, countless images flashed through his mind, who... did this?
A person appeared in his mind and couldn't get rid of him.
He hesitated and picked up the phone.
About ten minutes later, Lynch appeared in the office.
"I heard that you are very anxious to see me." Lynch acted very relaxedly, which was different from the pessimism or seriousness displayed by most Gefra people.
The smile on his face made the Prime Minister very dissatisfied. At this time when the whole country was in sorrow, he actually still smiled!
No matter what the reason was, Lynch's suspicion was now heavier in his mind.
The Prime Minister first invited Lynch to sit down, and then gave him a Croft, "Every time, I heard that this is also one of your companies?"
"I'm just a shareholder!" Lynch corrected the other person's statement, opened the independent sterling silver packaging pen holder, and poured out a stick of Croft.
After simple cutting, light it with a blowtorch.
"Excellent!", he slowly exhaled the smoke that stirred the pot in the air.
After the smoke passes, a lot of fragrance is left.
Mainly with the unique aroma of nuts and tobacco, and a little bit of sweetness, these top-quality Crofts are flavored by top experts.
Every top-quality Croft tastes different, because every customer who can enjoy these will customize their own taste.
This also prompted Lynch to take a second puff, wrapping the smoke in his mouth like a sip of water.
Unlike smoking, each has its own fun.
"People say you are very smart. I asked other people and they all think so." The Prime Minister first praised Lynch.
Lin Qi admitted it very thickly, "Thank you, I think so too."
The Prime Minister was stunned for a moment. Nobles are very arrogant, but this arrogance also makes them show a kind of "arrogant humility." No one is as shameless as Lynch.
Even those jesters have to take care of their own dignity!
Lynch's suspicion in the Prime Minister's mind has increased.
He came back to his senses and asked an interesting question, "Then can you tell me what purpose you think the murderer had for assassinating His Majesty?"
Lynch blew out the smoke and looked at the Prime Minister with some amusement, "You shouldn't ask me this question, and I shouldn't answer this question."
"But for the sake of you praising my intelligence, I can offer some of my opinions."
"If there is anyone in this world who wants Gaevra to get into this kind of trouble..." Lynch chuckled, "...I think everyone would think so."
"Gefra has been glorious for too long. Now it is a new era. The stage that belongs to you must come to an end!"
