Chapter 390 Conjecture
Antonio is a very talented detective.
The capital is not a strange place to him. He used to be a policeman who worked in the capital, and he also worked as a detective here for a while. Even if he hasn't been back for a long time, a few days of familiarity are enough for him. .
However, no matter how strong his investigative ability is, it is really difficult for him to act without being noticed by the target person and without making too much noise.
"The recent black magic incidents in the capital, I heard from my old friends in the police force, are not particularly frequent. The number of incidents is almost the same as in the past, and most of them are small things, nothing worthy of attention... "
In the eyes of ordinary people, black magic incidents only happen once or twice a year at most, but in reality, such incidents happen more frequently.
However, due to the White Knight's course of action, most of the black magic incidents that are handled will be covered up and will not be made public. Except for some incidents that cannot be concealed, this is basically how they are handled.
Of course, this is a general case.
None of the black magic incidents that Annan had experienced or was related to was not a trivial matter. Some of them were really big and caused a lot of lives.
For example, what the Abyss Religion once did is like the black magic ruins in Kedax City that have not been dealt with until now.
But even so, as long as there is a way to control the flow of information, no matter how serious the incident is, there are ways to cleverly cover it up, or turn casualties into accidental reports.
There is no need for ordinary people to know too many black magic incidents. This is for the so-called peace and the so-called social tranquility.
If you want to know the exact number of black magic incidents that have occurred in an area, then probably only professionals, that is, white knights and official security agencies, can know.
The old friend Antonio found in the police force through a favor this time was a member of the Police Magic Section. Although he was not a high-ranking police officer, he had a rough estimate of the number of black magic incidents.
If the other party did not lie and was not concealed by a higher-level person, then what the other party said is basically credible.
"I really want to say that maybe we are worried too much, or the former dictator may have changed his ways and will not want to plan any conspiracy..."
In the quiet box of the cafe, Antonio talked nonsense that he didn't believe at all.
This was his hope, but his reason told him that it couldn't be that simple.
"In short, judging from the current situation, our target has not committed any terrible behavior for the time being..."
"It would be nice if nothing was done. In fact, I don't want to be so nosy. However, a black magician, a guy who may be the Lord of the Rings, is hiding in the center of a country. It's scary to think about it. Woolen cloth."
If Annan could, he wouldn't mind informing the White Knight immediately. The problem was that it might be useless, so they had to spend all their time investigating.
If they didn't have identities related to the dark race or black magic, they would definitely be able to move more freely, which is also a moderate constraint.
But, then again, if they had nothing to do with black magic, there was no way they would know such a secret.
"Mr. Detective, have you found out the current communication status of that person with other important figures?"
"What's the status of private communication?"
If the relationship is only superficial, you can actually get a rough idea by just opening the newspaper.
Target person Leo. Dia is not a well-known person among the president's staff. He is a young politician who does not have much support behind him. He is appreciated by the president for his talent.
As for private communications between this person and other politicians, it is very difficult to investigate. Matatek's news magazine has not yet cultivated a stalking paparazzi, so what is known is limited.
"Leo Dia, he just feels like a good young man. There's nothing too outstanding about him. He's quite decent."
Antonio also spent some time personally investigating here, but found nothing special.
"Boy, what are you suspecting?"
"It is natural to wonder whether the former president has actually been in control of the highest power in this country from the beginning to the end."
Even if Annan does not need to conduct a background check on the current president, he still knows that this president is actually the dictator Cruz. Morrie's men.
In Cruise. After Morrie pulled all the leaders of the revolutionaries and committed suicide in the presidential palace, it was the current president who maintained the apparent official power.
During the ten years of civil strife, it was clear that the president was trying hard to negotiate with all forces to stop fighting. However, as a subordinate of the former dictator, no one wanted to talk to him. Talk more.
It wasn't until the forces everywhere made themselves crippled that the current president, who had been keeping a low profile, finally found a chance to calm the situation, and then continued to sit in the position of president as a matter of course.
"Mr. President, uh, what is his name? In short, according to the external comments I have read, many people think that our President does not have much ability and can barely be regarded as a responsible guy. But except for Other than that, there aren’t too many bright spots.”
"Our president is named Francisco Leonard."
Antonio easily said the long name of the current president that Annan had not remembered.
"Your suspicion is not impossible. If this is really the case..."
Antonio hesitated for a few seconds before speaking the next words.
"To be honest, our place has been able to recover to its current level because the current president has put in a lot of effort. Even if he is criticized by others as not having many outstanding features, he has done a good job. , if there is actually the dictator behind him all the time, it seems...it is not unacceptable."
"Do you think that person has really changed his ways?"
"At the very least, more than 40 years of dictatorship is indeed over."
Antonio does not come from a wealthy family. His family really does not like the dictator who implements various extreme policies. He needs to admit that he has also been affected to a certain extent and cannot make fair and impartial comments.
During the dictatorship, the biggest problem was the increasingly serious gap between rich and poor, and the class differences that would never allow promotion.
No matter how outstanding a character is, as long as he comes from a civilian family with no background, he will never be able to get ahead and will only be treated as a tool and a cog.
On the contrary, even a trash without any ability can become a master in one's work as long as he comes from a wealthy family.
At that time, the rich got richer, the poor were always poor, but the rich were always in the minority.
Obviously, at its peak, Matatek's GDP ranked fifteenth in the world, but many people still starved to death because they had no money to buy food.
To put it simply, the country has been progressing, and the rich are getting richer and richer, but the common people at the bottom are not treated as human beings at all, and have become fuel and consumables to maintain the country.
People became increasingly intolerable to this excessive and abnormal environment. After being suppressed for a long time, driven by some foreign trends of thought, revolutionaries everywhere rose up to resist the tyranny of the dictator.
In the end, the revolution succeeded, but because of the dictator's final atrocities, all the leaders of the revolutionary army died, leading to a ten-year civil war.
"At that time, if the dictator had just faked his death, he could have reappeared immediately. With all the revolutionary leaders dead, can anyone really stop him from taking power again?"
Antonio increasingly wondered why the dictator, if he was really alive, was hiding behind the scenes.
"Maybe he realized that he had done something wrong? That's why he let it go?"
