Chapter 1284: Guess, Guess, Guess, Guess

"His Royal Highness would like to see you..." the butler whispered in the prime minister's ear.

The Prime Minister frowned, "Tell him...", he paused, and changed his mind, "Arrange someone to watch him, don't let him leave the prison, and don't let him have contact with the outside world, except for special things and He doesn't need to contact me anymore."

The prime minister is very clear about what the eldest prince is going to do.

The emperor is still undergoing surgery, the purpose of the first prince jumping out is definitely not to visit his father, but for the throne, or freedom.

Without an emperor serving his sentence, it is impossible for the empire to lack an emperor. If the emperor dies, the eldest prince, as the first in line heir, will inevitably ascend the throne and become the new emperor.

Then he could pardon himself, after all... he still had this little power.

But the prime minister doesn't want the eldest prince to jump out at this time, which will cause unpredictable changes to many plans, so the best way is to keep him imprisoned in prison.

Don't let him die, don't let him talk, don't let him die.

After solving this small problem, the Prime Minister asked a question instead, "How is the situation over there, Your Majesty?"

The housekeeper didn't answer right away. He needed to think about how to answer this question properly and at the same time express what he wanted to express clearly.

About ten seconds later, he used another fact to answer the Prime Minister's question.

"I saw that the court doctors summoned many experts from outside, and the specific situation is still unclear."

A gleam of understanding flashed in the prime minister's eyes. It was already clear that the emperor might not be able to wake up.

He rubbed his temples, waved the butler away, walked to the edge of the chair and sat down again.

There were still many officials in the room. If the steward said that the emperor was dying, no matter what he said was true or not, it would be very taboo to say so.

The royal family may use the wording of the butler to attack the prime minister, pour dirty water on these vested interests, and it is very likely that the situation will repeat itself.

So the butler's answer was very ingenious. He seemed to have not answered anything, and he seemed to have said everything. No one could use his rhetoric to trouble him, the Prime Minister and others. After all, what he said was the truth.

"Sorry, there's been a delay. Where did we go just now..." The Prime Minister glanced at the documents on the table, "... Yes, did the Federation fleet go back?"

He had just talked with the foreign ambassador of the Federation. Both sides had the same appeal for stabilizing the current political situation in Gefra. After declining the proposal of the Federation to help the Prime Minister solve the current predicament, the Prime Minister personally sent the ambassador away by car.

In the process, he not only showed Gefla's strong desire for independence and autonomy, but also showed the iron blood that Gefla people should have.

"We are not afraid and dare to go to war with the enemy...", this is the half 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 was standing by the door of the room. He was whispering something 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 speed of departure is not very fast. We keep a safe distance from each other until they are far enough away..."

The Prime Minister breathed a sigh of relief at the words of the military representative, "Then the next question, is the person we are going to arrest, has he been caught?"

The head of the police department looked embarrassed. Speaking of the police, maybe the federal people have a little... underestimated the profession of the police.

This is normal, because the federal police is indeed a less positive and powerful institution.

But the police in Gefra are not. The police department has many branches, from the police in charge of public security, to the internal affairs police, to the special police... This is an institution with somewhat distorted power.

The reason why it can exist is not because of its management system or how good the security system of Gefra is, it is purely because this is a power-based country.

In other words, it is an aristocratic country.

As long as the head of the headquarters is not an aristocrat, no matter how much power is given to him, he can only be a dog of an aristocrat.

Of course, these are all in the past tense. After the monarchy is restructured, the first thing to be dismembered is the police department.

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 unclean things, and when people's power is expanded, he will become dangerous.

If the overall situation is not considered, the assassination of the emperor is very helpful to dismember 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 be a cleaner, and we are continuing to dig up. As for the identity of the assassin..."

"We suspect it's fake."

Then the Prime Minister saw a piece of information, a person with a slightly abnormal and withdrawn mind, and the experience of teaching in the Ameria region.

But it was precisely this experience that made the prime minister a little confused. Could it be the retaliation of the anti-government militants in Ameria?

This is not completely impossible. Not to mention that the anti-government militants were swept back and forth, Lynch and his group were very worried.

They also often design traps to lure some socially unstable factors to actively join resistance organizations, and then kill them all.

Now that Amelia can stabilize, in addition to the fact that the local people have hated the long-term confrontation without any positive rewards, the more important thing is that the thorns have basically been killed.

This is not a simple term. It means that at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people were executed as anti-government militants under the guidance of intentional or unintentional guidance.

Among these people, it may not be impossible for an assassin to appear suddenly.

"Regardless of whether this clue is true or false, the investigation will continue and the people from Ameria will cooperate. Other clues will also continue to be investigated."

The Prime Minister arranged the work first, and then his tone became a little 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, whether he is still in the here."

"I am very disappointed in your work, Mr. Headquarters."

The head of the police department wants to argue, what the **** does this have to do with him?

Well, it sort of matters, he's the one who bears all the consequences, but when there's a benefit, he's also the first to enjoy it.

The benefits and risks in this world are often directly proportional, and most of them are.

His helplessness could only be turned into an apology in the end.

The Prime Minister waved his hand, "I don't need 'I'm 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 things now."

He has already decided to get rid of the head of the headquarters, and it is necessary to make the other party feel some oppression at this time.

After the head of the headquarters left, the prime minister made a lot of work arrangements, and the current situation in the imperial capital is fairly stable.

The people in the room left after getting the work assignments, and there were fewer and fewer people, until he was the only one left.

He turned his head to look at the bright sunshine outside the window, countless images flashed in his mind, who on earth... did all this?

A person appeared in his mind, and he couldn't let it go.

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 was very relaxed, which was different from the pessimism or seriousness shown by most Gefra people.

The smile on his face made the Prime Minister very dissatisfied. At this time when the whole country is in grief, he still has a smile!

No matter what the reason was, in his heart at this time, Lynch's suspicion was a little heavier.

The Prime Minister first invited Lynch to sit down, and then gave him a Clover, "Every hour, I heard that this is also one of your companies?"

"I'm just a shareholder!" Lynch corrected the other party's statement, twisted open the independent sterling silver packaging pen holder, and poured out a Clover.

After a simple cut, light it with a blowtorch.

"Excellent!", he slowly exhaled the smoke stirring the pot in the air.

After the smoke has passed, there is still a lot of fragrance left.

Mainly nutty and tobacco-specific aromas, with a little bit of sweetness, these top Coleves are seasoned by top experts.

The taste of each top-level Keluofu is different, because every customer who can enjoy these will customize their own taste.

This also prompted Lynch to take a second breath, wrapping the smoke in his mouth like taking a sip of water.

Different from smoking, each has its own taste.

"People say you are smart. I asked other people, and they all think so." The Prime Minister first praised Lynch.

Lynch recognized it thick-skinned, "Thank you, I think so too."

The prime minister froze for a moment~lightnovelpub.net~ Nobles are very arrogant, but this kind of arrogance will also make the nobles show a kind of "arrogant humility". No one is as shameless as Lynch.

Even those jesters have to take care of their own face to some extent!

In the Prime Minister's mind, Lynch's suspicions increased.

He came back to his senses and asked a very interesting question, "Then can you tell me, what purpose do you think the murderer used to assassinate His Majesty?"

Lynch exhaled smoke, and looked at the Prime Minister with some playfulness, "You shouldn't ask me this question, and I shouldn't answer this question."

"But for the sake of your praise of my intelligence, I can offer my opinion."

"If there is anyone in this world who wants Gefla to get into this kind of trouble..." Lynch chuckled, "...I think everyone would think so."

"Gafla has been brilliant for too long, now it's a new era, the stage that belongs to you, it's time to end!"
