Chapter 902 Purpose
That night, Emily came home on time for dinner.
Emily at the dinner table was still as calm as water, but the aura exuding from her body was sluggish.
After dinner, I took her home as usual. On the way, I chatted with her: "How is things going? Have you found any trace of the thief?"
Emily shook her head slightly: "Not yet. The other party is acting cautiously. Apart from the abandoned documents and letters on the table, I can't find any useful clues."
"He is a very meticulous person." I held my chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Then why did he keep the documents and letters? Wouldn't it be more thorough to burn them?"
Emily shook her head and said: "I don't know the specific reason. I just listened to the analysis of senior officials. Documents and letters are used to confuse the public."
"Confuse the public?" I tilted my head: "Is this kind of thing really effective?"
"The effect is still there." Emily turned to me and said calmly: "It is precisely because of that letter that you have been included in the ranks of being monitored."
After hearing this, I was shocked: "Ah? A line under surveillance? Someone is watching me? Where is it? Where is it?"
I looked around but didn't find any signs of being monitored. I couldn't help but shed a cold sweat and thought to myself: The guy who was spying on me must be a master, otherwise I couldn't find any traces.
While thinking about it, Emily said: "No need to look for it, I am the person responsible for monitoring you."
"Ah?!" I was surprised again: "It's you!"
Emily looked at me for a moment and said, "Is there any problem?"
I waved my hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, how could there be a problem? I'm just a little surprised. Why didn't those high-level officials send professional assassins to monitor me? Instead, they asked the president of the Rose Legion to do it?"
After hearing this, Emily nodded slightly and said: "I have thought about what you said, but since this is a high-level decision, I don't need to interfere. I just need to implement it."
"Having said that, you told me the truth so straightforwardly. Aren't you afraid that I would be on guard against you?"
"Were you not on guard against me before I told you the truth?" Emily asked.
"Ah, haha, that's true, hehehe." I touched the back of my head with an embarrassed smile.
"Actually, monitoring you is not my final mission," Emily said: "My final mission is to find out the organization behind the scenes that may contact you, that is, the organization that stole the design blueprints."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask: "Are you so sure that they will find me?"
Emily nodded and said, "I will definitely do it."
"Why?" I was very puzzled.
"Because the design they stole was only a part of it," Emily said. "In order to prevent it from being stolen and used for evil purposes, the senior management decided to divide the complete design into four parts and store them in four parts of the palace. A hidden place, so as long as all four blueprints are not stolen, the other party will not be able to create a puppet."
"Doesn't that organization know how to recruit scientific and technological talents to complete the incomplete design drawings?"
"I don't know about this," Emily said, "I'm just an adventurer, not a scientist."
"Okay, let's put this issue aside," I said, "Since the design drawings can't be stolen completely, what's the use of them stealing this design drawing?"
"As I just said," Emily said, "their actions of stealing design drawings, leaving documents and letters, etc. are most likely to confuse the public. Their real purpose is most likely to target you and your group."
I was startled and stopped. Emily also stopped at the same time. She turned around, faced me, and continued: "I just heard about what happened to you. After we were recalled to the palace, you suffered We were all fooled by the violent attack, but fortunately, you suffered no casualties."
If analyzed according to Emily's inference, Cagalli's previous guess is very likely to be the truth - these two guys are actually from the same organization. They pretended to steal the blueprints, but in fact, they wanted to kill us. .
If it weren't for our reasonable strength, the initial wave of random crossbow arrows might have killed all of us.
This organization is really unfriendly to us, haha.
I sneered silently in my heart.
After sending Emily home, I said goodbye to her: "You are welcome to continue to monitor me tomorrow~"
Emily didn't answer and closed the door directly. Ah, she was still indifferent.
After leaving Emily's home, I once again sneaked into the villa of Elder Mai Sonoda. The elder was telling stories to her granddaughter.
After the elder came out of the room, I showed up and said hello to him.
Elder Mai Sonoda was not surprised at all. As she walked forward, she asked me, "What are you doing here so late at night?"
"Gui Gan can't tell you, I'm just chatting with you."
The elder snorted and said, "I am an old woman, what do I have to talk about?"
"Elder Mai Sonoda, what do you think about the loss of the design drawings?"
Elder Mai Sonoda leaned on his chair, half-squinted his eyes, and said, "Emily told you, right? She really trusts you."
"Hehe, hehe" I said with an embarrassed smile: "It's no wonder, I am the kind of good person who looks very honest, reliable and has a strict mouth."
After hearing this, Elder Mai Sonoda said without mercy: "I didn't see the excellent potential you mentioned, but in terms of thick skin, you can be the number one in the Japanese continent."
I pretended to be pitiful and said, "Hey~~~ It will make me feel sad if you say that to me."
The elder completely ignored my expression and continued: "The loss of the design drawing is not a big loss to us. After all, we have prepared a rubbing before. As long as the rubbing is still there, the production of the puppet will not be delayed. "
I wondered: "Then why did you recall Emily and her team?"
Elder Mai Sonoda did not answer me directly, but went around in a circle: "Although the loss of the drawings will not affect our manufacturing progress, it will damage our image in the minds of the people. After all, the most rigorous The storage place turned out to be stolen, which will give them the illusion that our power is just an illusion and cannot truly protect their safety."
"So you called Emily's team back and tried to get them to dig out this organization and annihilate it?"
"Yes," the elder said, "This is our idea. Find this organization and eradicate them all. Only in this way can we re-establish our image in the hearts of the people."
