Military vehicles parked unimpeded at the edge of the square in the center of the city, and after the military control was controlled, the military requisitioned two commercial buildings around the square as a temporary headquarters to facilitate the control of the entire city.

Memnon followed the two soldiers to a room on the second floor, and he frowned and didn't go inside.

"Your Excellency, why don't you come in?", Lieutenant Mary stood in the room and looked at him, and while she was on the way, Memnon already knew the name of the female officer, and her name was Mary.

"Are you going to interrogate me, or do you want me to cooperate?", Memnon chuckled a few times, and the laughter was filled with a mockery. In the room in front of him there were no couches, no coffee tables, no furnishings, no green potted plants, just a table, three chairs, and some recording equipment, which he had taken prisoners. He was extremely angry in his heart, but at the same time, he was also very curious, what happened to make the military dare to interrogate him like a prisoner, was there something wrong?

At his level, he already knew that the impact of the gap in information was definitely not as simple as a few words, and he stared at Lieutenant Mary, who really smiled this time, and smiled very generously.

"You are mistaken, Your Excellency. Since we have just arrived here and have not focused on the arrangement of the room, if you think this room is not suitable for your status, you can go and see another room, or just pick one, I can assure you that all the rooms are about the same. This was a very good remark, explaining the reason for the "slow treatment", and gave Mennon a ladder.

Memnon gave a look of surprise, and then stepped into the room. He wouldn't really go and see if the other rooms were all one table and three chairs, that would only make him embarrassed.

After the three of them sat down, Lieutenant Mary took out a few transcripts and put them on Memnon's table, "We rushed to the scene last night after we learned that Matthew had been assassinated, and left some evidence and photographs ......", she pushed the photograph of Matthew's death in front of Memnon, the photo was taken at the scene of Matthew's death, Matthew was leaning back in his chair, his throat was cut, and even part of the Adam's apple could be seen. At the same time, a knife was inserted into his left eye socket, which was very scary.

There are also several photos of Matthew lying on the dissecting table, at this time the dagger inserted in his eye socket has been removed, and after comparing the traces, the military believes that this dagger is the dagger that slit Matthew's throat.

"There were only two pieces of evidence we found at the scene, one was a very shallow shoe print and one was a cigarette butt that had been smoked, and there was nothing obvious beyond that. Then Lieutenant Mary took out a certificate from the file, "Then we looked into the records of the telegraph office, and for about five minutes before Matthew was killed, he was talking to Mr. Doolin on the phone, and we asked Mr. Doolin, and he gave an affirmative answer, and told us that Matthew asked him for some confirmation. ”

Lieutenant Mary smiled strangely when she said this, "Your Excellency, do you want to know what they all said?"

Memnon frowned and leaned back, his elbows propped up on the armrests of his chair, his fingers pinching his chin, he looked at Lieutenant Mary with raised eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, "What did they say?"

"What they say, we'll talk about it later. Lieutenant Mary directly diverted the topic, which made Memnon feel a faint uneasiness in his heart, and he felt that Lieutenant Mary, or the military, had settled on him, which made his breathing become a little shorter than before.

Lieutenant Mary asked, "Based on our knowledge and information provided by some eyewitnesses, Mr. Matthew went to your office yesterday morning?"

"Yes, I asked him to come. ”

Lieutenant Mary nodded, "Did you have a quarrel?" or a violent conflict?"

Shaking his head, Memnon said, "No, we've been talking in a good and peaceful atmosphere. ”

"Then can you tell me why Mr. Matthew left all the way and cursed you and Mr. Doolin at the same time?"

Memnon was stunned for a moment, at that time he felt that the atmosphere between him and Matthew was indeed very peaceful as he said, there was no quarrel, no conflict, not even a slightly more intense tone and movements, why would Matthew scold himself and bring Durin? He quickly reacted, "Because I told Mr. Matthew that Dulin hopes to settle the dispute between him and the Western Mining Association in two ways, one good and one bad, maybe Mr. Matthew misunderstood what I meant, so he has some dissatisfaction with me." ”

The soldiers next to Lieutenant Mary were taking quick notes, and cameras and tape recorders were running around them. The Imperial Cabinet and the Ministry of Defense are very concerned about the turmoil in the West, which has always been a "place of lawlessness", with smuggling, murder, human trade, gang fights, and collusion between officials and businessmen...... Pretty much everything that can be found is here. Once the turmoil in the west intensifies, it will quickly enter a state of "anarchy".

At that time, it is highly likely that something will happen that is unacceptable to people with the interference of external forces.

The war between the Empire and the Confederation ended twenty-two years ago, and it ended only on the surface, and the war continued in places where people could not see it. Last year, for example, a horrific suicide was committed by an extremist religious organization, in which 194 people died as a result of the extremist religious group's ideological brainwashing, ingesting poison and shouting in the streets that "the end of the empire is coming," and then dying in a row.

When the Military Intelligence Service and the Security Council investigated the tragedy, they found that the top leaders of the extremist religious organization had fled the empire, and it was discovered that some federal consortiums had been supporting their activities behind the organization.

There are many similar things, and some big foreign conglomerates support extremist organizations within the empire to carry out sabotage, incitement, riots and other activities through funds or materials, in an attempt to break the peace of the empire and create turmoil. As soon as there is uncontrollable unrest in the west, these external forces will take advantage of the opportunity. They may not be able to declare war on the empire head-on, but they can achieve the goal of dividing or even dividing the empire through financial and material assistance or even human assistance.

Therefore, the top leaders of the entire empire are very concerned about these things in the west at present, especially those that involve almost all the big forces in the west.

Mary pursed her lips and smiled, "What about the afternoon? We have more than one testimony and eyewitness here, and Mr. Matthew went to your office again in the afternoon, and he came out with the same swearing, and was assassinated not long after he got home, do you think Matthew's death ......", Lieutenant Mary smiled meaningfully, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"You should have saved these words for Mr. Doolin, who spoke to him on the phone at the end, not me!", Memnon sneered and retorted.

"Our people are also asking about Durin about it!", but for some reason, Lieutenant Mary's eyes had a look of helplessness.

On the other side, the military stood in the hospital room asking similar questions, and their initial intention was to bring Doolin back to command, where Doolin might answer their questions "seriously". But what they didn't expect was that the appearance of a person made them have no way at all!

Just when they were about to do that, a man walked into the room, his name was Thomas.

The current Thomas is no longer Colonel Thomas of the former Ilian Naval Base, he is now Major General Thomas!

The old commander felt that he had to wait until the formal adjustment was made to give way for another two months, which was a bit of a sign that he was too greedy, so he might as well simply retire early and send a report to the Navy Headquarters. The Navy Headquarters naturally agreed to the little old man's application and request, not only approved the little old man's retirement, but also allowed Colonel Thomas, the "gold medal salesman" in the Navy, to cross the threshold that he could not cross in his life and become a rear admiral.

As soon as Durin called, he came, and was peeling apples for Durin at this moment.

With such a "military bigwig" here vouching for Dulin, how dare these big-headed soldiers of the Western Army Military Region forcibly take Dulin away? Unless they want to go to court-martial, they are accused of inciting antagonism in the navy.

The current navy is a piece of rotten meat, stinky black water, and has become a tool for the navy's top brass to make money. But let's give up, after all, the coastal defense treaty just signed has not been stripped from people's shallow memory, but if you don't give up, the performance of the navy is a real headache for the Ministry of Defense.

The Ministry of Defense no longer allocates funds for the navy, and the navy itself has found a way to make money, and now it is better to say that the navy is the navy of the empire, but it is better to say that the navy is the navy of the admirals, and the entire naval system from top to bottom is eating the money of the admirals, and it is these people who pay to feed the entire navy. Of course, no matter how they got this money, whether this money is legal or not, everyone must admit that it is precisely because of these people that the navy has not completely dispersed.

Recently, the cabinet has the idea of reconciling with the navy, and the importance of coastal defense is becoming more and more obvious day by day, if the empire cannot firmly grasp the navy in its own hands, if there is a real war one day in the future, maybe the navy will become the sharpest knife to destroy the empire.

"Mr. Doolin ......", the officer was interrupted by Thomas as he spoke.

"Soldier, don't you see that I'm talking to my friend?Is that what your superiors taught you?Go out and stand, and when I let you in, you come in again!", Thomas raised his eyebrows, and really had the demeanor of a general!

He withdrew his gaze, placed the polygonal apple in his hand on a plate, and handed it to Durin.
