Chapter 474: Town Search
At this point, Bill had no way to hide anything, so he could only honestly tell the whole story: "After we found out that Mr. Po was kidnapped, we felt that we couldn't afford to take this responsibility, so we planned to hide this matter first, and then run to find Archon Chino." ”
"We want to lie to Archon Chino that Po has not arrived in Deer Grove City for a long time, so that he, as the last person Po met before his disappearance, will be forced to take responsibility, and we will be able to get out..."
"you!" Ray Sakhar directly knocked Bill to the ground, causing him to fall into a mess, and then said coldly, "Someone! Put these two people down and keep them under strict guard! ”
Although this was not a direct order from Chino, Resakhar was now the acting governor, and his authority was higher than that of Chino, and the guards of the consul's mansion did not dare to slack off, and they were about to take Bill, who begged for mercy, and Dirk, who had no master, to the dungeon.
Now these two concealed wastes have been caught, but the problem has not been solved.
The key point of this matter is Ah Bao, Ah Bao can be saved, then it is easy to say anything, Ah Bao can't be saved, it is useless for this kind of stupid officials to catch a hundred.
The kidnapping happened in Deer Grove City, which belongs to the Beacon Fire Province, and Resakhar is now the acting governor of the province, and if it is not handled well, he will be responsible...
As Resakhar paced back and forth, frowning, Niko secretly glanced at Chino, as if asking something with her eyes.
Chino took advantage of Resahar's turn and shook his head slightly, conveying the meaning: don't kill.
That's right, everything just now... Whether it was the kidnapping letter, the fingers, or even the fact that Resahar was here, and Bildeck's visit, it was all in Chino's calculations.
Chino had previously used a face stripper to trick Hu Shanrong into turning into Po, and let him leave Twilight City in style.
This is the first and most critical step.
Hu Shanrong's change, as soon as he left, was equivalent to creating an "ironclad evidence" for Chino in disguise - Po was alive when he left Twilight City, and everyone saw it.
In this way, the fact that Chino killed Po in anger in the meeting room was completely hidden.
Immediately afterwards, Chino sent Hanyi to follow Bao's caravan throughout the process, and calculated the expiration time of the face peeler, and stunned Hu Shanrong the night before the transformation effect was about to disappear, leaving him in a drowsy, unable to notice that his face and appearance had returned to their original state in time.
The next day, after Hu Shanrong woke up, his appearance was no longer "Bao", but changed back to "Hu Shanrong".
At this time, Hu Shanrong was already difficult to argue.
Because in the eyes of all the witnesses in Lulin City, everyone saw that "Ah Bao" was coming, and they had a lot of fun, and Ah Bao suddenly disappeared the next day, and only one Hu Shanrong was at the scene, and anyone would think that Ah Bao's disappearance was related to him.
As for Bill and Dirk, the two main city-level officials, they can't bear the responsibility for Po's disappearance, and they will definitely find a way to "shake the blame", hoping to put the blame on others.
And this best target for dumping the pot is undoubtedly the archon of Twilight City that Po visited last time, that is, Chino.
The two of them have a good plan, and if they change to others, they may really be fooled.
It's a pity that Chino is the one behind the scenes, single-handedly leading the development of the situation, how can he not count the ideas of these chess pieces in the game?
Before Dirk and Bill arrived, Chino invited Resahar to Twilight on the pretext of discussing the future of the Death Legion, as an alibi for himself - I had been discussing things with the Governor for the past few days, and I hadn't left Twilight.
Immediately afterward, after Bill and Dirk arrived at the Ruling Mansion, Chino took the lead and deliberately deceived them by saying that he had received a letter from Po, saying that Po had arrived in Deer Grove City.
From Bill and Dirk's point of view, "Po" did arrive in Deer Grove City, so they couldn't doubt the letter, so they could only be forced to admit it, and their plan to dump the pot was naturally shattered.
The rest of the matter was logical, Niko sent the kidnapping letter and the fingers in the box—not from Hu Shanrong, but from Chino in advance.
As soon as these two things are taken out, Po's disappearance will be characterized as a kidnapping, the highest insider in this matter is Lei Sahar, the prisoner is Hu Shanrong, and the informants are Bill and Dirk, and Chino is completely empty in the middle, becoming a person who has no relationship or responsibility.
At this point, the bureau is arranged.
Bill and Dirk are useless, they were originally the tool people that Chino used to lay out, they don't know any truth, it doesn't matter if they are dead or alive.
There is no need for Chino to kill them secretly, there must be a few people who have been stabbed in this matter, these two people are just right, and there are colleagues who died violently in the government mansion, no matter how they died, the government mansion will be fishy, there is no need for this.
Now, the pressure has come to Resakhar's side.
Chino walked up to Resakhar and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, what are you going to do with this matter?" Do you want to report to the top? ”
Ray Sakhar's eyes flickered, obviously struggling in his heart, and after a long period of contemplation, he shook his head with a dark face: "You have to report, you can't hide it." Po is not an ordinary businessman, he is a political figure, and the accident of this kind of person is not an ordinary case, but a diplomatic incident, and the two of us can't hold it. ”
"You hurry up and pack up, I will ride a dragon and take you to the royal city together, this matter is too late to report it level by level, it must be directly fed back to His Majesty the King!"
...
Just as Chino and Resahar were leaving, the Deer Forest City side was not idle.
Bill and Dirk had already sent soldiers to search for Hu Shanrong's whereabouts, and the soldiers tracked down the surrounding subordinate towns overnight and were going door-to-door.
A soldier whispered to the centurion, "Sir, what is the origin of this fugitive we captured today?" Why are the troops of the entire Deer Forest City dispatched? ”
The centurion shook his head: "I don't know." The boss only asked us to arrest us according to the wanted warrant, but did not say the reason, nor did they say the facts of the case, I am afraid that there is a mystery in this matter..."
The soldier looked at the portrait of the wanted warrant in his hand with the torch, and kept making a smack: "Look at this fugitive, with small eyes and a big nose, he looks like a primitive man." Looking at this kind of physiognomy, it should be someone from the Far East... Hey, I remember that a few days ago, a giant merchant from the Far East came to Lulin City, and all the officials went to accompany him, do you think something happened to this giant businessman? ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" The centurion scolded, "That is not an ordinary merchant, I heard that he is wearing a golden robe, and he is a three-clawed golden dragon of the Far Eastern Dynasty!" If something happens to him, Deer Forest City will be finished! ”
The soldier asked bluntly: "I came out of my town, I have never seen the world, what is the three-clawed golden dragon?" Is he a human or a dragon? ”
The centurion was speechless, and didn't intend to explain those complicated things, but just said in a deep voice: "You just need to know that if something happens to that giant businessman, our little Deer Forest City can't afford to take responsibility, and if you don't do it, it will cause a war!" ”
