Chapter 46 Wisdom, but not much
"So... what are you going to do? Do you really want to investigate the navy?"
Flying Squirrel's eyebrows twisted into the character "Chuan", and he subconsciously lit a cigar, looking at the naval colonel in front of him with some worry.
Although this was an order directly issued by the highest authority of the world government, the object of the investigation was, after all, his own navy. In any case, Flying Squirrel was still somewhat resistant to this so-called order in his heart.
"Check, why not check?"
Darren lifted the wine glass to his lips with a relaxed expression, took a sip, and smiled sarcastically:
"That is an order directly issued by the great and respected Lord Wulaoxing. Of course, we must do it beautifully for them."
"It's just that now that the investigation of the "Dragon Attack Incident" is in my hands, we can take the initiative."
The flying squirrel glanced at him and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
What has to be said is that Saint Damocles, who is known as "the most resourceful person in a century", was able to keenly detect the clues of this attack and indeed had extraordinary wisdom.
But not much.
Let the murderer catch the murderer... The corner of Flying Squirrel's mouth twitched.
"However, this matter should not be delayed any longer. This investigation must be concluded as soon as possible."
Darren took a deep drag on his cigar, his deep eyes sparkling.
"After all, until this case is over, CP0 and the investigation team will not leave Beihai. I don't like this feeling of being watched."
The flying squirrel nodded in understanding.
Because of the arrival of the investigation team, many of their recent actions have come to a halt.
After all, with the general of the Warring States Period, it was hard to do too much in many things.
…
The next day.
Batia Island Municipal Government Office.
meeting room.
"What!? The attack on the Celestial Dragons will be fully investigated by Darren!?"
Warring States looked at the government order document that CP0 took out in front of him, his face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Gion and Kake seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and turned to stare at Darren with their mouths open.
CP0, wearing a mask and a white silk robe, read out the government's order in an indifferent tone:
"In view of the heavy military workload of Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters and the imminent pursuit of the great pirate Bundy Waldo, the investigation of the 'Dragon Attack Incident' will be fully transferred to the highest officer of the North Sea Navy, Admiral Rogers Darren of the North Sea. Effective immediately.”
After reading out the document, CP0 gave Darren a cold look.
"The task is urgent. Colonel Darren, please start investigating as soon as possible."
Darren smiled and nodded,
"Do not worry."
CP0 nodded and was about to leave.
Warring States suddenly expressed his dissatisfaction:
"Haven't I already submitted the results of my investigation? This incident was a complete accident. The person who attacked Hildes Saint was a creature like the Sea King..."
His voice gradually dropped and became hesitant.
Because CP0 was staring at him coldly with a "looking at an idiot" look.
Seeing Seng Guo sit back in a sullen manner, CP0 said nothing, and his figure gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared in place.
In the conference room, only a group of marines were left sitting there.
There was silence and silence.
Kake and Gion exchanged vague glances.
‘Why did the investigative power fall into Darren’s hands? ’ Jiaji’s eyes widened.
‘How do I know that this is a direct order from the government. ’ Gion Liu frowned.
Jia Ji raised his eyebrows: ‘Could it be that the murder of the Heavenly Dragon Saint Hildes Saint was really not his fault? ’
‘I always feel like things are not that simple. ’ Gion narrowed his eyes.
‘…’ plus total.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you two doing with such weird expressions and grinning teeth?" Warring States said angrily.
Gion and Kake immediately sat up straight.
"Perhaps Major Gion and Major Kake have some new perspectives on the investigation of the attack?"
The two people in Gion shuddered when they heard this. They raised their heads and saw Admiral Beihai, who was smoking a cigar, staring at them with a half-smiling look. They felt a little panicked for no reason.
"That...no, no."
Jiaji smiled sarcastically.
After hitting the two thorns, Darren smiled and looked back.
"Darren, what do you think about this matter? Why did the government give you the power of investigation?"
At this time, Warring States stared at Darren with a serious face and said in a deep voice.
Darren pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"General Warring States, I think the government's decision is reasonable."
"Oh?" Warring States frowned.
Darren continued:
"The investigation into the attack on the Tianlongs has been delayed for too long. As a general of the Navy Headquarters, you have heavy military duties. Naturally, you are not suitable to continue to lead the investigation. It is a waste of time."
Warring States pinched his temples and sighed:
"In this case, they should accept my investigation results, so that the case can be closed early."
He suddenly glanced at Darren suspiciously,
"Or is it that your boy has some brand-new information and clues?"
Darren raised his hands in surrender.
"Of course not. Personally, I still agree with Major General Porusalino's view."
He smiled and nodded to Porusalino.
"The attack on the Tianlong people was essentially an accident."
Warring States narrowed his eyes, a trace of doubt flashed deep in his eyes, and murmured to himself:
"Since there are no new clues, the government has no reason to transfer the investigation power away from me..."
"That's great. This saves you a lot of trouble..." At this time, Porusalino, who was picking his nails with a nail clipper next to him, suddenly murmured in a low voice with a smile.
The speaker seems to be unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
When Warring States heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
yes!
This is a good thing!
Originally, he didn't want to take a trip into this muddy water. After all, it was a thankless task!
Now that the investigation is fully handled by Darren, can he, a naval admiral, continue to do his own business?
Whether it's returning to the headquarters of Marineland or continuing to hunt for Bundy Waldo, it's not much better than staying here and busying around a dead Draco! ?
Thinking of this, Warring States laughed with satisfaction.
He raised his head, coughed slightly, and said to Darren with a serious look:
"Well, since the government relies so much on you, Darren, you must also perform well and not let down the government's trust in you."
Darren smiled humbly:
"We still need more guidance from the Warring States General."
The smile on Zeng Guo's face grew stronger, he stood up and patted Darren on the shoulder.
"Then this matter will trouble you."
————
That evening.
Darren finished his daily practice at the training ground and walked to his private residence on Badia Island, sweating profusely.
Sunset dusk.
Darren's military uniform was in tatters and hung on his body like rags.
The contours of the muscles were carved like a knife, and there were many shallow craters and blackened dirt left on the sweaty skin-these were the marks of frontal bombardment by bullets and artillery.
"You really haven't changed at all..."
A slow voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Darren paused, curled his lips, and turned around.
A tall figure stood in the setting sun, with his arms folded across his chest and his body leaning against the wall. His broad cloak was illuminated blood red in the setting sun.
He looked at Darren's blood-stained and scar-covered body, his eyes under his sunglasses flashing with a strange smile.
"Aren't you tired of living like a beast every day?"
Darren threw a cigar casually, lit one for himself, smiled and said:
"Not everyone has the talent of a monster like you, Major General Porusalino."
