Infinity Armament

“Bernard Jenks?” Shen Yi frowned slightly: “I'm sorry I haven't heard that name. ”

“It's perfectly normal that you haven't seen me, I'm the head of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation's operations, and I'm the immediate officer of Eleni and Molly... I guess you remember them. ”

Shen Yi's face sank: “Turns out you're from the Bureau of Investigation. Didn't your people come here? I told you, I don't know these two people, and I don't know they're following me, and the only thing I know about them is they're from the paper. I was driving around town when the NKO bizarre murder happened, and I don't know if I ever went where they said I was, but I'm sure I didn't go to NKO, so why bother me? ”

“I'm not surprised you'll answer that, Mr. Shen Yi.” Bernard laughed, “I know you're going to deny anything to do with them, and we don't have any proof anyway. But Mr. Shen Yi, whether it's you or me, we all know what you did. You sent someone to rescue Carmela, you were involved in shooting our soldiers in the church bell tower, you betrayed our country, you killed Chipman and framed Molly and Eleni, as well as you... have been selling to our hostile forces the arms that killed our soldiers. ”

“Other than the last one, I don't know what you're talking about.” Shen Yi replied calmly: "Oh yes, about the last one, it was acquiesced in by the Empire, and I hope you understand that, Mr. Jenks. I did sell some weapons to the Lion Heart Kingdom, but without my efforts, Arendt would not have had access to those blood agents. My contribution to the Empire is far greater than the harm done to it. ”

“Yes, on the face of it, but you've already supplied more arms privately than the Empire implied, haven't you? I know exactly why you're doing this, Mr. Shen Yi. Once Eleni finds out about your secret, you know you can't keep the secret of your private arms sales, so you simply make a deal with the Empire and sell it publicly, which will make you a little passive, but then Eleni's accusations against you will be offset by invisibility and no more harm can be done to you. However, that's exactly what I don't understand, Mr. Shen Yi, at that time you could have killed them directly. Why would you want such trouble to keep them alive? Do you really think that bad manipulation will work for us? ”

“I don't understand what you're saying.” Shen Yi certainly cannot admit on the phone.

“Don't worry,” Bernard laughed, "I promise there's no recording of the phone. ”

“I have nothing to worry about, Mr. Jenks. If you really think I'm guilty, you can come and get me. Besides, did you call to harass me? If that's the case, I'll have to hire my lawyer. ”

“You don't have a lawyer, Mr. Shen Yi, in order to save money, you have saved almost everything you can, while you have a lot of loans, borrowed money… It's hard to imagine how you seem to care about the impact your behavior will have on your future. That makes me think you're planning to abandon the foundation here, right? Mr. Shen Yi. ”

Shen Yi's eyes contracted suddenly.

He did not expect this Bernard to be so powerful that he had in the meantime been so clear about his background checks and deduced the closest conclusions to the facts based on his performance.

Though he could not have known the adventurer existed because of the constraints of the world, at least in essence, he had approached the core.

It surprised him. Shit, I didn't design this profession myself.

And Bernard had already said, "Of course, there are some problems here that cannot be explained. For example, if you want to escape, where do you go? Lion Heart Kingdom? They're losing, there's no place for you. Tianlu dynasty? It's very likely, but how long can it take to escape? You're a weapons manufacturer, leaving the metal veins of Arendt, leaving the vast and complete industrial system here, going to the Tianlu dynasty where you can't even make a decent alloy. What can you do there? I am shocked by your disregard for long term interests only! ”

“I never intended to escape, Mr. Jenks.” Shen Yi remained calm, but his eyes had become cold and his face gradually became more serious.

He hasn't been so serious in days.

“I feel like you're really getting ready for this.” Bernard Jenks laughed: “Yes, you did a great job in that battle at the Church Bell Tower, leaving very little clue, but Mr. Shen Yi, you seem to have forgotten the clue you can't get here, and we can get it from somewhere else as well. ”

Shen Yi frowned and did not speak.

Bernard continued, "Of course, I understand why you're not answering. You think I'm lying to you, right? Too bad I'm not. Just to remind you, there is some evidence that you can never erase, like... Carmela. ”

Shen Yi finally changed color.

He was silent for a while and said, “Carmela… Mr. Jenks, I must admit that you have found a good breakthrough direction. Indeed, if you catch Carmela, you will find the shooter who shot at the church. But how can you be sure that Carmela will identify me? And how did you catch her? ”

“Correct a mistake first, Mr. Shen Yi.” Bernard replied in good time: "I never said there was only one shooter in the church, I said you were involved. ”

Shen Yi's eyes suddenly emitted fine light.

Bernard laughed hey hey: “But you made me confirm that you were the only shooter. That might explain why you have proof that you didn't leave the room… you have the ability to separate, right? ”

Shen Yi has hummed out: “I was just following your tone and saying, how can I know if there is one or two people in the church, but instinct treats them as human beings? ”

“Indeed, you speak with caution, and every word you say on the phone is not enough to prove your guilt. But it doesn't matter, as I said, I didn't intend to use it as evidence at all, and I just wanted to find out how you actually did it. Now that my suspicions are confirmed, that's enough, even if it can't be evidence, at least you and I both know that, right? ”

Shen Yi snorted: “Whatever you say, if you want to catch me, go get Carmela. ”

“Why bother?” Bernard laughed. “There's no need to catch her, just ask someone. ”

“What did you say?” Shen Yi Yi Yi.

Bernard said out loud, "What makes you think Carmela will always protect you? Don't forget that the Lion Heart Kingdom is in a moment of national ruin! At this time, Carmela will not hesitate to sell you as long as we give them a few opportunities, such as a truce agreement, to hand over the spies they are hiding in Central City! That's politics. Politics is full of betrayal! Mr. Shen Yi, you should understand that, don't you? After all, you're one of the betrayers! ”

Hearing this, Shen Yi also stayed.

Indeed, if the Arendt Empire sends a courtship signal to the Lion Heart Kingdom, Shen Yi is indeed likely to be thrown out by Carmela as some of the chips for signing the agreement.

No, not possible, but definitely.

It's hard to imagine this guy coming up with this way, which gives Shen Yi some appreciation for him. He was not panicked by shock, but rather excited by Bernard's performance, which played a role in his consistently good psychological qualities.

Shen Yi replied at this moment: "The death of the Lion Heart Kingdom is imminent, and Arendt will not accept peace. ”

“Normally, it is true, but recently His Majesty the Emperor has been less pleased with the performance of the Tian Deer people. What would you do if it were you? ”

Shen Yi again stagnated for a moment, finally answering: “United Lion Heart, counterattack Tianlu. ”

This is a perfectly normal performance.

Unite a small country and turn to the Tianlu dynasty first. After the Tianlu is eliminated, who can compete with Arendt in the final war?

Damn, it's all self-directed.

Shen Yi had a sense of cocooning himself, which made him laugh.

“Look.” Bernard laughed. “So it doesn't take me to make any decisions, does it? In fact, this plan was not even put forward by our people… The envoys sent by the Kingdom of Lion Hearts have arrived, and they have made this suggestion. ”

“You have very good news. ”

“The Bureau of Investigation is responsible for internal security, and these messages are necessary. I was just proposing to the director that they bring the shooter's information to the negotiating table, by the way. It's not hard, it doesn't even need to be listed in formal negotiations, it just needs to be a casual chat at a welcome party, and then... you'll be sent out as a gift. This is your true value, Mr. Shen Yi, no matter how cunning you are, after all, you are just a small meeting gift on the wine table of the big people, not even a chip. ”

“… you have to admit that your plan is good, but then you don't catch the shooter. ”

“That doesn't matter, as long as we can catch the bad guys. ”

“I wish you good luck, catch the bad guys early, and I'll clean up the suspects.” Shen Yi laughed: “But I'm afraid it's hard for you to succeed. ”

“Why do you say that? ”

'Course it's the phone, Mr. Jenks. Let's start by assuming I'm really the shooter. If everything you expect, the Lion Heart Kingdom will tell you who the shooter is, then you don't have to make this call at all, which is a warning in advance, and as a good internal security officer, you shouldn't make this mistake. I mean, I'm afraid my position in the heart of the Lion Heart Kingdom is not so low, despite your repeated derogations from me... a gunman may not matter, but an arms dealer is valuable enough to be a chip. ”

This time it's Bernard's turn to be silent.

“So you're not sure you can get the evidence you want from this negotiation, are you? Or there is a simpler reason… the Lion Heart Kingdom did not send a special envoy at all! ”

“That's why you called. You deliberately gave me a false message, or excited me to escape early, and you were ready to catch. Or you want me to guess Carmela, you believe I have my own people around Carmela, and if I get this information, maybe I'll let my people kill all those who know... you want me to offend them and completely destroy our relationship, so that, as long as Carmela doesn't die, I'll naturally be published by them. Whatever choice I make, it will be your chance. ”

“You're trying to cheat me!” Shen Yi affirmed.

Behind the phone, Bernard was a little silent and finally laughed: “You are more cunning than I thought, Mr. Shen Yi, well I admit you were right, no envoys, no negotiations, everything is just my test… but no matter how cunning you are, the fait accompli will not change. I will catch you, I will avenge the dead soldier, and I will avenge Molly for his wrongful death. You can think of this as a comparison or as a declaration of war! ”

Shen Yi shocked violently: “What did you say? Molly, is he dead? ”

“That's right, Mr. Shen Yi, just last night, he was shot and charged with killing Nko's chief representative, Chipman! ”

“What about Eleni? ”

“Will Eleni be far away when Molly dies? Too bad I can't keep her no matter how hard I try... it's all because of you!” Bernard hung up heavily.

Shen Yi stood on the spot.

For a long time he shook his head and sighed: “A good policeman... too bad. ”
