Get rid of all the wrong, then the remaining options are unquestionably correct answers no matter how far-fetched.

　　 Did Sherlock Holmes or Conan say this? Or was it said by Furuta Hatasaburou or Kanaichi Kosuke?

　　 In short, no matter who said this nonsense, applying to this puzzle today, Lorraine's solution is that the Freemasonry has split.

　　 At least one branch with the Philadelphia ceremony’s general meeting got involved in this revolving door project competition. This event may involve political struggles within the United States. If it is more serious, it may even involve the penetration of powerful countries into the United States.

　　 Lorraine was very confident in his judgment. The only thing that surprised him was that his casual judgment actually inspired a real boss.

　　 Benjamin Franklin, the oldest and most prestigious old man in the political arena in the United States, and the only old gentleman in the powerhouse who really jumped out of the conflict between federalism and democracy, visited the Washington residence overnight.

　　 "I am sure that Freemasonry did not participate in this matter in any form." After listening to Lorraine's statement, Franklin said categorically.

　　 His attitude puzzled Lorraine. It was not that he suspected that Franklin had deliberately concealed this matter, but that he had acted too surely, far beyond trust in the general sense.

　　 So Lorraine’s expression is very strange.

　　 "Mr. Franklin, it may be offensive to say that, but I heard that Freemasonry is a huge organization..."

　　 "I understand your worries." Franklin held his pipe in his mouth, "but boy, there are many things you don't understand."

　　 "Freemasonry in the present sense was born in London in 1717. It has independent synagogues in major European powers and major colonies in the world."

"Although the United States is a young country, the Philadelphia Ceremony is an orthodox branch of the London Ceremony. It was established as early as 1733. Historically speaking, she and the French General Assembly Paris Ceremony are the products of the same period, the second only in the world. The regional general meeting in London."

　　 Lorraine heard Franklin's overtones.

The Philadelphia Ceremony, or the American Association of Freemasonry, is powerful in the world of Freemasonry, and its status is comparable to that of France in the civilized world. The halls in other regions dare and cannot reach out and challenge the territory of the American elite without authorization. And dignity.

　　 "So...inside your hall?"

"Guidelines for the membership of Freemasonry." Franklin's old eyes shone brightly behind the smoke, "For his own will; have lived in the General Assembly area, that is, the thirteen states of the United States, for more than twelve months; be older than 20 years old A man who believes in the existence of God; has no criminal record; has not been refused membership by other beauty clubs; has two beauty students as introducers."

　　 "Your opponent killed someone, this is not the style of Freemasonry, one of them; they intend to attract members outside the United States, regardless of the residence history of the members of the Baishang Associated Press, and second."

　　 "From these two points alone, I can affirm that your opponent must not be a Freemason."

"Then what are they?" Lorraine asked the question in a flat voice, expressing his disapproval of Franklin's analysis. "A group of conspirators who do not belong to the Freemasonry have taken pains to pretend to be a Freemason and are fully prepared. It even deceives a group of successful businessmen who have the most money in the matter. They are a group, not one."

　　 "What is the significance of what they do? Let's be more straightforward. With your rich social experience, do you think it is possible for such a thing to happen?"

　　 Franklin frowned in question by Lorraine.

　　 "Little guy, I can't answer your question." He said honestly, "But I still have a piece of evidence in my hand about the birth of the revolving door project."

　　 "Alexander should have told you that the revolving door is the crystallization of the common intelligence of Fei Chengli's beauty students. But have you ever thought, since we can come up with such a plan, why should Alexander go around raising funds like a broker?"

　　 "Because you have no money." Lorraine gave the only correct answer without even thinking about it.

　　 Franklin obviously didn't intend to use this question to embarrass Lorraine, so he dangled his pipe and nodded.

"The War of Independence emptied the capital of the Philadelphia Ceremony. In order to win, our Meisheng made contributions that you can't imagine." His voice was low, "For example, the old Jewish Heim Solomon with a broken mouth, your maritime group The director married his daughter, so you must have investigated his condition."

　　 "Before the War of Independence, he was also a member of the Million Pound Club. With a keen sense of business, his assets spread throughout Europe. The War of Independence made him impoverished. After his death, his only daughter had to carry sky-high debts to maintain."

"Connecticut Green scam is your credit?" Franklin smiled and glanced at Lorraine. "That scam shuffled the New England capital circle in a very short time. At least 6,000 people fell into the trap. The loss was more than one million pounds."

　　 "From a personal point of view, old guys like us are very grateful to you for speaking out for the old Jews and saving his widow from the debt crisis. But from a national point of view...don't let us get evidence, little guy!"

Lorraine raised an eyebrow: "Connecticut? Hartford? I invested in a steel plant there. The first phase seems to be completed around 1790. The designed capacity is enough to double the American steel output and increase the iron output by 40%. ."

　　 "As for the Green scam you mentioned, I heard that, as my competitor, he surprised me for a while, nothing more."

"That's it..." Franklin smiled meaningfully and turned back to the subject without hesitation. "The experience of the old Jewish is the epitome of the status quo of the entire Philadelphia ritual capital. Our economic situation is very bad, not the situation of a small circle. , But the status of the entire Philadelphia ceremony."

　　 "You tell me, since the birth of the revolving door project, we spent half a year integrating the funds mobilized by the entire Philadelphia Concierge. At that time, it was 1.3 million pounds. Last year, it was 2.2 million."

"This means that our branch is not your opponent in equity competition at all, and even if the entire Philadelphia ceremony is assembled, it will not be a threat to you. The gap between the two parties is too great, whether it is anger, division or instigation, all means are absolutely different. The previous is meaningless."

　　 Lorraine is very different.

　　 At the critical moment when the revolving door plan was about to be finalized, Franklin actually passed the U.S. government's trump card to Lorraine, that is, the U.S.'s biggest competitor of bank control.

　　 Is this his personal attitude? Or the attitude of Philadelphia courtesy? Or is it the attitude of the American government?

　　 No one can find the answer from that old face covered with age spots.

　　 Lorraine pondered: "Mr. Franklin, can I take your words as an alliance request from the United States?"

Franklin nodded quietly: "The revolving door has lost control. This is the situation we most worried about beforehand. We evaluated the people who pushed the door and found that you are the most kind choice to the United States right now. If you are willing, I hope to be able to Promote this cooperation."

　　 "Cooperate with the U.S. or Philadelphia?"

　　 "Philadelphia gift."

　　 "Where is the dominant power?"

　　 "Form a management consulting meeting ~lightnovelpub.net~ to select members according to six to four, you six, we provide the corresponding four."

　　 "Where are the chairman and general manager?"

　　 "You have the priority to choose one position, and we will recommend the other one."

　　 "How to ensure that management consulting will always have stable rights?"

　　 "Our Supreme Lord, Mr. Washington, can sign a secret memorandum with Baishang Associated Press. Alexander and I can sign as witnesses."

　　 Lorraine took a deep breath and pressed her knees with her fingers crossed.

　　 "Your sincerity makes me unable to refuse." He said, "But I have additional conditions."

　　 "As it should be." Franklin raised his hand, "Please speak."

　　 "Find out who is right with us." Lorraine straightened up, "I believe you must have goals, otherwise you won't make such big concessions to us."

　　 "Then... postpone the dinner and watch the war ahead."

　　 "Cooperating with us has ensured your dominance over the revolving door, Mr. Drake!" Franklin was extremely disgusted with the second request, "Don't forget that this is New York! America needs a stable New York!"

"You are wrong, Mr. Franklin." Lorraine said coldly. "This is a war. Both the Americans and the Philadelphia rituals need to stand in line for this. No one can meet the origins of both sides. This is the most basic sincerity of cooperation. The only condition for the chairmanship!"

　　 "Are you...willing to give up the position of chairman?!"
