Chapter 33 Blocking the knife
Dusand, who was sleeping soundly in his bed, was awakened by a rushing knock on the door.
The person knocking on the door is definitely not a servant in the manor. No servant would knock on the door with such a rough movement at night. This behavior would be stopped by the butler of the little Boulder with scolding. Perhaps there was also a letter of expulsion sent at the same time.
In the manor, ensuring the quality of sleep in Dusand and Androni is the highest priority task. This task has a higher priority than obedience to Dushang's orders.
Dusander suddenly opened his eyes and felt a palpitations coming from his chest. He sat up from the bed with difficulty and approached the door outside, "Who?"
The wooden door was pushed open suddenly, and two men wearing gray cloaks and red uniforms exposed inside broke in without hesitation.
"Mr. Dusande, an emergency order from Olin." Two postmen in red rushed into the room with a nervous look on their faces and said to Dosande, who was sitting on the bed. "Olin encountered an attack, and the attacker was the Marquis of Lafayette. The General Administration ordered us to conduct a thorough investigation of the Marquis of Lafayette's plot against the trend immediately, and to stop all shuttles between Olin and Nusar before the investigation is completed."
Awoke from his dream by a sudden knock on the door, and two red-clothed postman broke into the bedroom and was startled Dusande, who had no idea what was going on. He opened his mouth and then reorganized the language.
"Why do you come to me for this kind of thing?" This is Dusand's first question, "Where are the people in charge of the department?"
"According to the memorandum of Deputy Director Bourne, you are now the highest-ranking officer of the Newell Emblem Management Office." The shorter red postman on the left said quickly, "You are... the one in charge before you get Orin's personnel change order."
"What the hell happened to Olin?" This is Dusand's second question.
"According to intelligence, a ship hijacking occurred on Olin's interstellar landing field. The stolen ship was a Royal direct ship - the ship hit the command of the Royal Second Guard Navy after leaving the interstellar landing field without permission."
Dusand swallowed hard, even though he had a dry cough, he couldn't secrete enough saliva from his mouth.
"And then...?" he asked in fear.
"The stolen ship then tried to escape, but was destroyed in the atmosphere of Olin by the ship of the Second Guard Navy. The General Administration's Red Postman found the Marquis of Lafayette who confirmed his death on the ship." Another taller Red Postman said, "The General Administration confirmed that the Marquis of Lafayette was the mastermind of the ship hijacking incident. At the same time, he was also responsible for the twenty conspiracy and destruction, four murders, six kidnappings and two rebellions that occurred in Olin."
Dusander was stunned, but fortunately he had been up for a few minutes and his mind quickly realized something was wrong.
Bourne is Olin who went with the Marquis!
"That Bourne..."
"The director...the director's body was found in the forest outside the Olin interstellar landing field. It should be that after they arrived at Olin, the director was attacked." The short red-clothed postman said quickly, "The General Administration determined that the secret guards may have sneaked into Olin for sabotage activities. They asked us to clean up the secret guards of Newar immediately."
Dead? That old bastard died suddenly?
Dusander seemed to be suddenly wrapped in something invisible. He stood on the ground from the bed with difficulty, but his whole body was still as if he had no soul for a long time.
"Mr. Lord, Mr. Lord!" The two postmen in red looked at each other, and they both saw a look of gratitude and worry in the eyes of their colleagues. It was gratifying that Director Bourne had indeed cultivated a new man who would be sad for his death, and they were worried... they were not sure whether Dusand could bear the burden that suddenly fell on him.
Dusand took a few deep breaths, then held it tightly. He was forcing himself to think with his brain. No matter what he was thinking in his mind, the key now lies in the action of "thinking".
Director Bourne arrived at Olin with the Marquis. There was no doubt that before setting out for Olin, Bourne had completely lost his doubts about Lafayette.
You know, a few weeks ago, Bourne asked Dusand worriedly, "Whether Lafayette is loyal to the empire?", and this time he was able to set off with the Marquis and take a civilian ship to Orin... This means that he had completely trusted the loyalty of this high noble.
Bourne is by no means a person who is easily deceived. He knows exactly how large a secret guard is - he even knows clearly that Morse is a secret guard.
With Burn's suspicious personality and the clues he had already mastered... If the secret guard had entered Olin and had even had the ability to perform assassination, destroy kidnapping, arson and even hijack the ship, he would not have been able to grasp the clues, nor could he be concealed so easily.
This is unreasonable.
Dusander was full of thoughts, but he quickly grabbed the first clue.
"You two, mobilize all the power we have in our hands immediately. I want to know the current location and movements of each Marquis' relatives, family members, and friends." Dusander gave orders to the two, while trying his best to find a solution in his mind.
There is a problem with the cause of Bourne's death, which is the conclusion that Dusande immediately came to. Although the secret guard has great magical powers, its development and operation are almost all under the surveillance of the Nussal Heraldry Management Office. Dusande even suspected that at least one-third of the members of the secret guard and the former enthusiastic party were inserted into the secret guard.
Under such infiltration and supervision, it was almost impossible for the Marquis' secret guards to successfully organize an assassination against the Director of the Empression's Colonial Emblem Management Office.
What's more, this assassination itself has no meaning - what is the value of Assassination of Bourne in Olymp? Without Newar, Bourne was just a suspicious senior postman in red. Only when Newar was at Newar, he was the "uncrowned king" who controlled the intelligence agency with tens of thousands of people.
If Lafayette takes a step back, even if he is really crazy and attacks Bourne, what is the point of hijacking the ship afterwards? No matter what actions Lafayette planned for Orin... When he assassinated Bourne, the plan must have reached its final stage.
In the final stage of the plan, Lafayette neither attempted to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor or launch a larger coup; nor introduced alliances or federal forces to carry out large-scale attacks on the empire.
So... what is the significance of hijacking the ship? What is the significance of hitting the command of the Imperial Navy's Royal Guards Second Fleet?
Now it seems that there are two explanations for what happened in Olin.
The first one is that Bourne did die at the hands of Lafayette, and Lafayette's purpose became a mystery, and it is difficult to judge whether his plan was successful - after all, dead people cannot speak.
The second type is that Bourne did not die at the hands of Lafayette, but had other forces involved.
This is the most heart-warming situation, and it is something that Dusand cannot solve at all. Being able to act so unscrupulously in the capital of the Empire and completely block... or driving the Orin Emblem Management Office to remove the protection of Bourne. This enemy is probably not ordinary terrible.
In order to make Bourne's death legitimate, they even created a ship hijacking case and took over the command of the Imperial Navy's Royal Guards Second Fleet... This sudden force was not only unscrupulous, but also seemed to care about "collateral damage".
Dusand's brain was running at full speed, but the two red postmen standing at the door were in trouble. They really didn't know whether they should leave immediately to execute Dusand's orders, or wait until Dusand figured it out before executing it.
"Lord?" the tall red postman asked carefully, "Do you have any other orders?"
"What are you doing here?" Dusand then realized that there were two living people standing in his bedroom. "Go out quickly and repay the positions of those people as soon as possible - monitor first, and do not disturb them unless the other party shows obvious situations to escape."
"Then are you going with us..." asked a short red postman, "Our steam carriage is still outside and the engine is not shut down."
"Time is tight, the task is heavy, you can set out first." Dusand waved his hand, "I have to change my clothes now. You guys go and do it first, I'll wait and go directly to the place."
After sending two red postman away, Dusand changed into clothes as fast as possible. And Androni, who was also awakened, also walked to Dusand's room, "What happened?"
"Mother..." Dusander put on his clothes and helped Androni to the sofa first sit down, and then said, "The Marquis of Lafayette is dead, and Bourne is dead. The information from Olin is that Bourne is assassinated by Lafayette. Mr. Marquis created a large number of sabotage in the capital, and finally the hijacking ship hit the command of the Imperial Navy's Royal Second Guard Fleet."
Androni's face turned pale in an instant. She shook her a little, and then forced herself to say, "There is something wrong with this information."
"There is indeed a big problem. No matter how stupid the Marquis of Lafayette is, the secret guards will not cooperate with him to do such a stupid thing." Dusand nodded and said, "I have paid all the postman in red. I need you to write a letter for me."
"Who are you writing?" Androni nodded, took the dipping pen and letter paper from the side and asked, "You said, I'll write it."
"Write to Mr. Morse, please state in the letter that Mr. Marquis is dead and has been charged with the crime of 'assassination of the Director of the Nussal Emblem Management Office'." Dusand said with a serious expression, "please cooperate with my work with all his strength - if the members of the Secret Guard still want to survive."
