Twenty Seven Years Chapter 304

  Chapter 304 Confronting Forint

   Ten forty-five p.m.

  Laizein, South Side, Bruce Avenue

  Colonel Benson and Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey arrived late by car.

   And Joseph and Adel were standing and smoking in front of the two corpses that had been covered with white cloth.

  "General Joseph." Benson and Jeffrey got out of the car and greeted Joseph, "Have you caught the members of the Equality Society?"

   "No. The streetlights here haven't all been repaired yet. They're lurking like ghosts and ghosts, and they can't catch anyone at all." Joseph shook his head and stomped out the cigar that was almost finished. "Is there anything unusual over there?"

   "No, everything is normal." Jeffrey said.

   Joseph took a look at Benson and Jeffrey: "If we still can't come up with effective countermeasures, such assassinations will still occur at a very high frequency. Do you have any good ideas?"

   "Uh..." Benson and Jeffrey glanced at each other, "We don't have any good countermeasures at the moment."

   "They just assassinated me yesterday, and now they are attacking my subordinates. Before you find a way to deal with it, you all protect yourselves and strengthen your security forces." Joseph reminded pretending to be kind.

   "Don't worry, after General Pissel's accident, we immediately expanded the guards." Benson turned to pretend to care about Joseph, "On the contrary, you must be watched by them all the time now, so please take care."

   "Hmm." Joseph said with a blank expression, "I'm going to work **** you tonight. Let's conduct a citywide search and try to track down their traces. Otherwise, we won't do anything when something like this happens, and it will be difficult to explain to the higher authorities."

   "Okay, then we are still responsible for the North District of the Eastern District and the Southern District of the Western District."

   Joseph nodded slightly: "I will let Lieutenant Colonel Brian lead the cavalry regiment to support you at any time."

   "Then let's go first."

"Um."

   After watching the two leave in the car again, Adel walked past: "They should have seen Flynn."

   "How are you sure?" Joseph asked.

"Aren't they in charge of different areas? It stands to reason that Jeffrey will be the first to arrive, but they came together, which means that the two of them have stayed together before. The only thing they can do together at this point is to be with Meet Flynn." Adel analyzed.

   "It makes sense." Joseph no longer thought about it, "Just wait for tomorrow's result."

   On board

   "Do you think it's still too late?" Although the soldier who drove the car was a confidant, Jeffrey still didn't say it clearly.

   "You mean to go back again?" Benson understood what Jeffrey meant.

"right."

Benson shook his head, feeling helpless for Jeffrey, who was dazzled by the benefits thrown by Flynn after just a face-to-face meeting: "He probably has already gone back, and it would be difficult and risky to make an appointment so late. And this kind of thing itself can't be rushed, just create an opportunity to get in touch after the situation stabilizes."

  Jeffrey forced his own ambition: "Do you have any ideas?"

   "You mean cooperation intention?"

"Yes."

   "The time was too tight just now, and I haven't had time to discuss it in depth, so I don't know now." Benson is not in a hurry to make a decision, and the contact has just begun, and he may be able to win even bigger ones in the future.

   "If such a deal is negotiated, will you accept it?"

  Benson glanced at Jeffrey: "At least it looks like you're going to accept it."

   "I will accept it." Jeffrey said without reservation.

"I believe he saw your fanaticism, but you are so reckless, the other party salivated as soon as he showed some chips, and couldn't help but agree to all the requests of the other party. You have to remember, they need us more now, so we The upper limit of the benefits that can be won is still very high, and it will not stop there anyway." Benson said.

   "You are right. They are the ones who are really worried. No matter how bad we are, we are just maintaining the status quo." Jeffrey felt that what Benson said was very reasonable, and the benefits they could win should be even greater.

   "For the sake of safety, we should use letters to communicate. When the time is right, it will not be too late to meet again."

   "Okay, just do as you say."

  In front of Fulin Mansion

  The captain of the guard and Lawrence rushed back before Flynn.

  The guards staying behind knew the seriousness of the matter and were closely monitoring the mansion.

   "Captain, what should we do?" Lawrence asked the captain of the guard, "Should we arrest Speaker Flynn directly later, or pretend nothing happened and give him a chance to go back?"

   "You, do you have any good ideas?" The captain of the guard was so nervous that he trembled.

  This matter involves too much.

On the one hand, there was the surveillance blockade ordered by François and the guard regiment, and on the other hand, the secret meeting between the chairman of the parliament and the heads of the two regiments. Such a big matter fell on the head of a small guard captain, and he was slightly careless in handling it. It is a disaster of extinction.

   "I think this matter needs to be considered in the long term." Lawrence suggested, "Pretend that the defense is lax first, let him think that we haven't found him, and let him in."

   "Tell me carefully." The captain of the guard hurriedly asked Lawrence why he did this.

"It's too late now. It will take some time to report to the superiors, then pass it on to His Excellency the President, then seek confirmation, and then deal with it. If we arrest Speaker Flynn now, once this matter is resolved by the two independent mixed divisions The head of the regiment knows that the situation is likely to get out of control."

   "You mean, while reporting, stabilize the situation and buy more time for the higher-ups to deal with the problem?"

   "That's right, the meeting between Chairman Flynn and the two regimental commanders who hold military power is really too big. Tear your face now, and there is no time for the higher-ups to make deployments." Lawrence nodded.

  The captain of the guard put his hands on his hips and looked around: "It makes sense, it makes sense, just do it."

   "Then you go and report, I pretended to doze off with them, and let Speaker Flynn sneak into the mansion again."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." The captain of the guard rushed to one side, and hurried back after not ten meters away, "Wait, wait, there is one more question, how does that servant explain? If you catch him, doesn't Flynn know that we've found it?"

"I don't think so." Lawrence reassured the restless guard captain, "The reason why he sent that servant out was that we would catch him, so if we catch him, it doesn't mean that we know that Speaker Flynn and the two The regiment commander met."

   "The problem is that we have arrested the servant, and we will definitely have an explanation with him, right? How could we be so easily persuaded by the servant's reason for buying medicine? No matter what, we have to take him to see Fulin."

   "Let's discuss this matter after you come back. Anyway, we still have time at night." Lawrence said.

  The captain of the guard did not intend to do this. He directly pushed the matter to Lawrence: "Come on, he will be back soon, and you will be responsible for bringing people in to inquire about the situation."

"I?"

   "You can do it, you have such a flexible mind, you will definitely be able to handle this trouble." The captain of the guard was ready for Lawrence to complete his own credit, and if Lawrence failed to handle it properly, he was ready to absolve himself of responsibility.

   "Then leave it to me." Lawrence saw that the captain of the guard wanted to transfer the risk.

   "I'm leaving." The captain of the guard patted Lawrence on the shoulder and left quickly.

  Lawrence didn't dare to waste time, and immediately called all the guards nearby to pretend to smoke and chat, and asked the two guards who had just escorted the servant back to take the servant away and come back after half an hour.

  For the next half an hour, Lawrence ordered everyone not to leave, chatting with each other all the time, deliberately not staring at the secret door of the mansion.

   Ten fifty-seven p.m.

  The two guards calculated the timing and escorted the servant back again.

  Lawrence guessed that Speaker Flynn had entered the mansion through the secret door while they were unawares, and was quietly staring at them in the mansion, so he started to play: "What's going on?"

   "What's the situation?" The two guards were puzzled.

   "Who is he?" Lawrence didn't have time to teach so many people to work together to create illusions, so he could only control the field by constantly asking questions and push the plan forward.

   "He's Speaker Flynn's servant, aren't you—"

   "Chairman Flynn's servant?" Lawrence interrupted his companion, staring fiercely at the servant and asked loudly, "What are you doing here?!"

   "I, I came out to buy medicine..." The servant still insisted on buying medicine.

  Lawrence repeated the previous conversation about interrogating the servant, and then asked two companions to **** the servant aside, and led the other guards to the door of Flynn's mansion and knocked on the door to call for someone.

   Soon, the old butler came out and opened the door: "It's so late, what can I do?"

   "Is Speaker Flynn there?" Lawrence asked.

   "Mr. Flynn is resting in the bedroom." The old butler looked at the large group of people and replied.

  Lawrence looked at the layout of the mansion through the door: "Please tell Speaker Flynn that we caught his servant who went out privately during the curfew, and now we need to see him."

   "Mr. Flynn is resting, so please don't disturb me. I'm the housekeeper, let me handle this matter." The old housekeeper planned to deal with the situation by himself.

   "I repeat, I want to see Speaker Flynn immediately." Lawrence said coldly.

"Isn't it just a little servant, come in and talk." The old butler greeted him with a smile, and asked Lawrence to go inside, and secretly took out a few banknotes with a denomination of gold and grams where the other guards could not see, "This matter I know one thing, he went out to buy medicine for the child, please accommodate me..."

   "You want to bribe me?" Lawrence took the banknotes.

   "How is this a bribe? You are on duty outside at night for the sake of the safety of the mansion. This is also a little thought from Speaker Flynn." The old butler felt that Lawrence was not so easy to fool, and took out a few more.

Lawrence didn't wait for him to hand over more money to himself, and threw the banknotes in his hands on the ground: "I will say it one last time, I want it immediately! Immediately! See Speaker Flynn! Otherwise, we have the right to search the mansion !"

   "This..." The old butler was stunned.

  The other guards stared straight at the large bills fluttering.

   "What's the matter?" When the two sides were at a stalemate, the white-haired Flynn walked down the spiraling stairs.

   "Sir." The old butler hurriedly bowed and saluted.

   "Speaker Flynn." Lawrence followed and saluted.

   "I heard movement upstairs." Flynn passed the old butler, and stood in front of Lawrence, "Excuse me, what happened?"

"We caught a servant who sneaked out from the secret door of your mansion outside. He said that he went out privately during the curfew to buy medicine for his children, but I think it's not that simple, so I want to ask you about the situation." Acting with Flynn face to face, Lawrence couldn't help feeling nervous, which caused his facial expression to be slightly unnatural.

  Flynn looked at the butler with a gentle look; "Servant? Who?"

   "Sir, it's old Gail. His child is sick and there is no medicine at home, so he has no choice but to venture out." The housekeeper explained the situation to Flynn.

   "Old Gail..." Flynn raised his head slightly, as if recalling, "Is his child working as a cook in the mansion with him?"

"Yes, sir."

   "In my impression, he is a very well-behaved person. He probably didn't want to trouble me, so he decided to go out secretly." Flynn looked at Lawrence, "He shouldn't have caused any big trouble, right?"

   "No." Lawrence swallowed.

Flynn didn't feel oppressed by Lawrence, and kept smiling and talking: "Although I didn't cause trouble, it still caused you great inconvenience. As their master, I should come forward to solve this matter. Well, I will give today's The guards who are on duty near my mansion at night are one hundred gold grams each, not only as an apology for this incident, but also as a reward for guarding my safety day and night."

   "This is what we should do, you don't have to."

   "I still need it." Flynn waved his hand, and the butler immediately went to collect the money and handed it to Lawrence, "Then, can I let it go for my sake?"

"Of course, we're just doing a routine inspection." Lawrence handed the money to the companion behind him, "However, it is inevitable to interrogate the captured servant to prevent him from deceiving you and doing some shameless things in the mansion. matter."

"Understood. Of course, I also believe that he is innocent. Please release him after the truth is revealed. After all, he has a sick son who needs to be taken care of, so there is no need to make things difficult." Flynn knew that he had no real power now, so he agreed with Lawrence After the interrogation, the servant was released and no further requests were made after returning.

   "Don't worry, after the investigation, he will be released early tomorrow morning." Lawrence said.

  Flynn nodded slightly, squinted his eyes and said: "It's getting late, if there is nothing else, I'll go back and rest first."

   "You are welcome."

   "That's right." Flynn emphasized before leaving, "Parliament has been dissolved by His Excellency the President, so there is no need to call me Speaker."

"clear."

   "Hunter, you can handle the rest." Flynn turned and went upstairs.

  The old housekeeper said respectfully to Fulin's back: "Yes."

   "Then we will continue to be on duty. If there is nothing else to do tomorrow, let him come back." Lawrence greeted the housekeeper and left the mansion.

   "Excuse me, everyone." The butler waited for Lawrence and the others to leave, and then slowly closed the door.
