Reincarnation Monarch
Chapter 513: The Web
"... I see. Let me tell you that I and Lord Lombard Schneider have an ancient relationship."
Lennon said in a quiet voice, slowly.
"... but what is that?
Shester immediately objected to this.
"As I said earlier. You are included against Deputy Secretary Schneider. He says he made up a crime, and he suspected us of it."
Then Lennon turned his face to the judge's seat and said with the same quiet voice.
"Your Honor. Indeed, I am related to Lord Schneider. But of course it doesn't mean that I made a case for it. However, I have long had doubts about the death of General Gorkos in the fold of the Battle of Esta. Because, General Gorkos, the SS men who were supposed to be near your side did very little damage. The SS men who were supposed to risk their lives to protect the General picked up their lives and why General Gorkos lost his life unbroken...... my doubts grew big with time. I know it's in your dossier, but I was a staff officer with General Gorkos during the Battle of Esta. But during the Thousand Years of Dragon Raids, I was on General Gorkos' life and left General Gorkos' side to make a request for reinforcements to the Imperial Capital Audience. Regardless, I don't know if I could have saved the general's life if I had been on his side. But I felt remorse for it, and when I returned, I put my nets on all sides."
"... the net... what?
To the judge's question, Lennon answered quickly.
"You can think of it as an information network. In various ways, I've been running information networks, gathering information about the death of General Gorkos, no matter what trivial."
"I see. Is that what you mean"
"Yes, and all of a sudden a big fish jumped into the net."
"Mr. Lukak, right?
"Exactly. It was Mr. Lukak who appeared before the police and testified about the truth about General Gorkos' death. I rushed quickly and spoke to Mr. Lukak. And there came the name of Lombardo Schneider."
"... So they say Bishop Lennon got the truth about the incident by accident?
Lennon then meditated his eyes and shook his neck sideways in a quietly slow motion.
And he opened his eyes, and with a strong tone, Lennon affirmed.
"No...... this is inevitable! God has led me to the truth of General Gorkos' death!
