Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 297 Completion of the Investigation

Claude never thought that so-called investigative steps and procedures would be so cumbersome. Instead of just listening to myself and Captain Duriolo, all soldiers who had met with Ensign Becky Milo and Lieutenant Giprek were questioned by the Mission's military law enforcement officers. Soldiers of the squadron, such as the gendarmerie, who had been disarmed by the squadron, and the squadron led by Diavid, heard the gunshot recently, basically each underwent two to three reviews and carefully checked their statements to see if there were any misdescriptions.

Even executive officers temporarily set up Captain Duriolo's office and allowed two more volunteers, Claude and Muried, to repeat the three-man scene to simulate Lieutenant Becky Milo's short fire. This gave Claude an idea of why Captain Duriolo had allowed himself and Merriet to practice three more wrestlers two days earlier, when he had already expected the Mission to do so.

The executives who insisted that Claude and Muriel simulate the three-man entanglement that led to the short fire scene were the ones who made Claude feel malicious towards himself, presumably belonging to the noble officers of the Front Line Command. Perhaps they believe that this means of exposing Claude's lies and of telling the truth about their murder of two military judges, Lieutenant Becky Milo and Lieutenant Geprick.

It's just that the scene where the three of us were involved was okay, and the people who were here all over again didn't look good. Because Muried's loud voice was screaming, “I thought it was strange. I didn't even touch the short one. How did it go off? Turns out this bastard wants to hit you, sir...”

Repeat: Lieutenant Becky Milo squatted down, his right shoulder dropped, and his right hand grabbed the short flaming rope. Claude stood to his left, grabbed his left hand and left shoulder, and tried to break him over. Muried was on his right, half-kneeling, holding Ensign Becky Milo's right wrist out with his right hand and his right arm with his left hand...

In such circumstances, Claude and Muriel's description is fine, Lieutenant Becky Milo squatting down and his right shoulder dropping just to keep them from touching their shorts so they don't get snatched away. Strangely, however, in general, Lieutenant Becky Milo should have a flat body or a drooping gun, but the result was that Lieutenant Becky Milo was hit in the face, indicating that Lieutenant Becky Milo had pulled the trigger from the muzzle himself.

Lieutenant Becky Milo couldn't have hit himself, so what did he want to do with the gun? The answer was very simple: he wanted to shoot Claude on the left, because Claude grabbed his left hand and shoulder, and his upper body was exposed to his left shoulder. Ensign Becky Milo, with a gun in his right hand, could not have hit Muriel on the right, so his only target at gunpoint was Claude standing on the left.

It's just that he didn't think that when he pulled the trigger, Muriel on the right was pulling his wrist in his own direction, and as a result, his right hand moved, and the muzzle pointed at his own face, so the tragedy happened...

“Damn it!” General Welster filmed the table on the spot. The facts are clear: Captain Dougliolo, Lieutenant Claude and Ensign Muried, all three parties did not lie. Instead, Ensign Becky Milo is suspected of violating the law. Threatening the officer with short notice, trying to shoot and injure others during the struggle, if it is advertised, it is the Ministry of Military Justice scandal. Fortunately, it was him who died, and there was still room for salvage.

“Close the case and give him a verdict as a result of burning himself.” General Welst's resolute decision means that the cause of Ensign Becky Milo's death is not in question.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and even though we had a big meal at noon, at night things were busy and the members of the Mission ate a few slices of black bread and drank some black tea to fill their stomachs. Captain Duriolo, may I ask if the next investigation into Lieutenant Geprick's death is due tomorrow? It's too late to delay everyone's rest...

General Welst refused, however. If today's temper started to warm up and the body was not easy to preserve, it would be better to examine the body sooner rather than later, when it had no odor, to draw a conclusion.

Because of the circumstances surrounding the death of Ensign Becky Milo, most members of the Mission were willing to trust the statements of Captains Claude and Duriolo, as well as the three Murieds. When Lieutenant Gepryck's body was lifted up, everyone looked at it only once and determined that Lieutenant Gepryck had indeed committed suicide for a simple reason: Lieutenant Gepryck had bit himself in the tongue, and the body had a strange smile on its face.

No one knew Lieutenant Geprick had been licked overnight by a goat * * girl, smiling and cracking his lungs miserably, not only exhausted, but even vomited his tongue outside. Muried and Diaved just had to grab his tongue, hug his head, and push his knee up against his chin, and Lieutenant Geprick was bitten to death...

For those executing officers of the Mission, they were unaware that there had also been such suicides. There are suspicions in their perceptions, whether they hang or take poison. But it's the bite of the tongue that kills itself, which is the least of the problems. No one can force someone to bite off their tongue and make a suicide laugh so weird and frightening.

So they just checked the area around the mouth of the lower body to make sure there were no signs of strangulation and strangulation. Looking at the half-cut tongue inside, it was confirmed that it had been bitten by the teeth, and it was quickly concluded that Lieutenant Geprick had indeed bitten himself.

Those executive officers who had previously asked Claude and Muriel to repeat the three-man interfering scenario refused to die. They stripped Lieutenant Giprick of his uniform and examined the body. They were disappointed because there were no signs of torture on the body, except for a slight bruising on the shoulder.

Muried explained that this was due to the scratch left by Lieutenant Becky Milo after his death, when he stood next to him and instructed Lieutenant Becky Milo to threaten his three lieutenants with shorthand. It is understandable that Lieutenant Becky Milo, who had just been killed at the time, was very angry and overstretched.

Executing officers did not pursue this wound, but they questioned whether Captain Duriolo and Claude had resorted to disgraceful methods, such as threatening to kill the family or something, forcing Lieutenant Geprik to bite himself...

It was only then that Captain Duriolo took out the confession left by Lieutenant Giprek, who he said had interrogated immediately as a result of his life. Perhaps shocked by the death of Lieutenant Becky Milo, who was question-and-answer and admitted to being an accomplice to the four men posing as official officers of the Kingdom, came this time to rescue them.

The confession was also signed and stamped by Lieutenant Giprek, who could identify no signs of coercion in the correct handwriting, although it was slightly grassy, indicating that Lieutenant Giprek was in a very excited mood at the time of signing and should not have been relieved from the death of Lieutenant Becky Milo.

But it wasn't until Captain Duriolo got this confession that he figured it out that Lieutenant Giprick's confession said they had him and Ensign Becky Milo come in with a small unit of gendarmerie, take the four prisoners and release them.

Captain Duriolo decided to interrogate Lieutenant Giprick again, but this time Lieutenant Giprick didn't say anything, but suddenly bit himself in the face with a laugh. This was no surprise to Captain Duriolo, who almost watched Lieutenant Giprick commit suicide in front of himself.

Those martial law enforcement officers are still somewhat confused, and it is likely that Lieutenant Giprek did not have the courage to bite himself. But all the evidence before them now suggests that Lieutenant Geprick did bite himself.

“It's late, I think we should close the case. It has become abundantly clear that Knight Claude and Captain Duriolo did nothing wrong and should not be charged with treason in the kingdom. Do you have any doubts that some people in Front Line Command should also knock, that the war is over, and that even if His Royal Highness does not return to the board due to illness, the authority over the troops in the Front Line should revert to the Royal Army Department, instead of being arbitrarily condemned by Front Line Command? If you have no doubt, sign this record...”

This was said by General Welst, the head of the Ministry of Military Justice of the National Guard Corps and the head of the Ministry of Justice fact-finding mission appointed by the Ministry of the Army, who stated that he had proved the innocence of Captain Claude and Captain Duriolo. The deaths of Enforcement Officer Lieutenant Becky Milo and Staff Officer Lieutenant Giprek of the Military Justice Division of the Front Command had nothing to do with Captains Claude and Douriolo, and instead, Lieutenant Becky Milo and Lieutenant Gipreck were held accountable for knowing that the law had been broken and for violating the law.

General West was the first to sign his name on this case review transcript, stamped with the official seal he carried with him. Then the heads of the eight second-line regimental military justice departments, the officers at the school level, signed and stamped them. Finally, the more than twenty lieutenant-ranking executive officers, who also need to sign and affix their fingerprints to the record as case investigators, prove that the record document has no doubt whatsoever.

The executive officers, who had malicious intentions towards Claude, also dared not provoke them at this time, in order not to provoke their respective supervisors, who, although still in doubt, had signed their respective names on the record.

Claude relieved herself in the dark and finally passed.

Captain Duriolo asked for a moment, and he immediately asked the tavern to provide you with a sumptuous evening snack to comfort you.

General Welster's tone was also friendly as he was rarely polite and perhaps both Captain Claude and Captain Duriolo had cleared themselves of his suspicions. He said he could just put something on everyone's stomach and continue interrogating the four criminals who impersonated the Kingdom's official officers tomorrow.

Captain Duriolo, for his part, said that you had been busy all night and that you should relax. As for interrogating those four prisoners tomorrow, all you had to do was walk past the scene. Because all four of them are alive and well, and the questioning about them coming as military judges to the Difficult Claude is documented, and if you look at the facts of the case, you'll find out the truth.

Captain Duriolo then asked his deputy, Sergeant Siegfried, to bring him a few boxes of wine from his home, his personal treasure, which he wanted to enjoy slowly here and now has to be taken out for everyone to share.

With wine, the atmosphere in the tent starts to flourish. However, the two bodies placed in the middle of the ground were still obstructive. Captain Duriolo asked for instructions on how to deal with the two bodies, and General Welst waved impatiently and said, "Let's do as the victims of the war did, burn the bodies, put the ashes in a tiny jar and post their names, along with the carry-on relics, to the aftermath department of Front Line Command, where they returned the ash jars and relics to their families."

Nearly a week has passed since the two bodies were spotted. Claude pulled out of the tent with the head of the body, ordered several soldiers to lift the stretcher to a hillside far from Squirrel Village, found some dry wood piles, then poured on the oil, set fire to the two bodies.

In the distant Squirrel Village Inquiry Mission accommodation camp, there was a song and laughter. Captain Duriolo even packed the maids of the tavern and sent them to the big tent to enjoy the wine and a rich evening snack, which was said to be a night snack, but it was already a feast. While the Mission was busy conducting forensic examinations, Captain Duriolo had instructed his deputy, Sergeant Siegfried, to prepare the village pub for everything.

The body was swallowed up by the flames of burning bears, sending a strange scent of flesh. Claude is no stranger to this scent, and hardly more intense than he smelled when he burned Squirrel Village. Some of the soldiers waiting to pick up the ashes were unbearable and vomited a few times. Claude pulled two silver tallers out of his pocket and threw them at the soldiers, asking them to go to the tavern and buy a bottle of Gandhi to rinse their mouths, otherwise they might not be able to eat for the next few days...

The Mission spent another two days in Squirrel Village, where it took four prisoners, as well as two army judges' urns of ashes and all the files relating to the two cases. Claude also wanted to present Major Skerry's grievance to General Welst, who refused to accept it. He stated that his visit to Squirrel Village with the Mission was primarily to examine the two cases, and that the case of Major Skerry's wrongful loss of land was outside his mandate and he had no control over it.

Claude was somewhat disappointed to see the back of the convoy of horses that the Mission had travelled far down the hill. Captain Duriolo, in his relaxed consolation, said: "General Welst is telling the truth, he is the head of the Military Justice Department of the Garrison Corps and does not have the authority to intervene in the Military Justice Division of the Front Command. If you want to save Major Scully, the only thing to look forward to is the early return of the Great Prince...”
