Chapter 46 There Is Wisdom, but Not Much
"So... what are you going to do? Do you really want to investigate the navy?"
Flying Squirrel's eyebrows twisted into the character "Chuan", and he subconsciously lit a cigar, looking at the naval colonel in front of him with some worry.
Although this was an order directly issued by the highest authority of the world government, the object of the investigation was, after all, his own navy. In any case, Flying Squirrel was still somewhat resistant to this so-called order in his heart.
"Check, why not check?"
Darren lifted the wine glass to his lips with a relaxed expression, took a sip, and smiled sarcastically:
"That is an order directly issued by the great and respected Lord Wulaoxing. Of course, we must do it beautifully for them."
"It's just that now that the investigation of the "Dragon Attack Incident" is in my hands, we can take the initiative."
The flying squirrel glanced at him and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
What has to be said is that Saint Damocles, who is known as "the most resourceful person in a century", was able to keenly detect the clues of this attack and indeed had extraordinary wisdom.
But not much.
Let the murderer catch the murderer... The corner of Flying Squirrel's mouth twitched.
"However, this matter should not be delayed any longer. This investigation must be concluded as soon as possible."
Darren took a deep drag on his cigar, his deep eyes sparkling.
"After all, until this case is over, CP0 and the investigation team will not leave Beihai. I don't like this feeling of being watched."
The flying squirrel nodded in understanding.
Because of the arrival of the investigation team, many of their recent actions have come to a halt.
After all, with the general of Warring States, it was difficult to do many things too outrageously.
…
The next day.
Batia Island City Government Office.
meeting room.
"What!? The attack on the Celestial Dragons will be fully investigated by Darren!?"
Warring States looked at the government order document that CP0 took out in front of him, his face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Gion and Kake seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and turned to stare at Darren with their mouths open.
CP0, wearing a mask and a white silk robe, read out the government's order in an indifferent tone:
"In view of the heavy military workload of Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters and the imminent pursuit of the great pirate Bundy Waldo, the investigation of the 'Dragon Attack Incident' will be fully transferred to the highest officer of the North Sea Navy, Admiral Rogers Darren of the North Sea. Effective immediately.”
After reading out the document, CP0 gave Darren a cold look.
"The task is urgent. Colonel Darren, please start investigating as soon as possible."
Darren smiled and nodded,
"Do not worry."
CP0 nodded and was about to leave.
Warring States suddenly expressed his dissatisfaction:
"Haven't I already submitted the results of my investigation? This incident was a complete accident. The person who attacked Hildes Saint was a creature like the Sea King..."
His voice gradually dropped and became hesitant.
Because CP0 was staring at him coldly with a "looking at an idiot" look.
Seeing Seng Guo sit back in a sullen manner, CP0 said nothing, and his figure gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared from the place.
In the conference room, only a group of marines were left sitting there.
There was silence and silence.
Kake and Gion exchanged vague glances.
‘Why did the investigative power fall into Darren’s hands? ’ Jiaji’s eyes widened.
‘How do I know that this is an order directly issued by the government? ’ Gion Liu frowned.
Jia Ji raised his eyebrows: 'Could it be that the murder of the Heavenly Dragon Shields Saint was really not his fault? ’
‘I always feel like things are not that simple. ’ Gion narrowed his eyes.
‘…’ plus total.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you two doing with such weird expressions and grinning teeth?" Warring States said angrily.
Gion and Kaki immediately sat up straight.
"Perhaps Major Gion and Major Kake have some new perspectives on the investigation of the attack?"
The two people in Gion shuddered when they heard this. They raised their heads and saw Admiral Beihai, who was smoking a cigar, staring at them with a half-smiling look. They felt a little panicked for no reason.
"That...no, no."
Jiaji smiled sarcastically.
After hitting the two thorns, Darren smiled and looked back.
"Darren, what do you think about this matter? Why did the government give you the power of investigation?"
At this time, Warring States stared at Darren with a serious face and said in a deep voice.
Darren pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"General Warring States, I think the government's decision is reasonable."
"Oh?" Warring States frowned.
Darren continued:
"The investigation into the attack on the Tianlongs has been dragging on for too long. As an admiral of the Navy Headquarters, you have heavy military duties. Naturally, you are not suitable to continue to lead the investigation. It is a waste of time."
Warring States pinched his temples and sighed:
"In this case, they should accept my investigation results, so that the case can be closed early."
He suddenly glanced at Darren suspiciously,
"Or is it that your boy has some brand-new information and clues?"
Darren raised his hands in surrender.
"Of course not. Personally, I still agree with Major General Porusalino's view."
He smiled and nodded to Porusalino.
"The attack on the Tianlong people was essentially an accident."
Zhan Guo narrowed his eyes, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself:
"Since there are no new clues, the government has no reason to transfer the investigation power from me..."
"That's great, this saves a lot of trouble..." At this time, Borsalino, who was picking his nails with a nail clipper next to him, suddenly smiled and whispered in a low voice.
The speaker seems unintentional, but the listener is interested.
Zhan Guo's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it.
Yes!
This is a good thing!
He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, after all, it was a thankless task!
Now that the investigation is fully handled by Darren, can't he, the admiral of the navy, continue to do his own things?
Whether it is returning to the headquarters in Marinford or continuing to hunt down Bondi Waldo, isn't it much better than staying here and busying around a dead Celestial Dragon! ?
Thinking of this, Zhan Guo smiled with satisfaction.
He raised his head, coughed lightly, and said to Darren in a serious tone:
"Well, since the government relies on you so much, Darren, you must also perform well and don't let the government down."
Darren smiled modestly:
"I still need more guidance from General Zhan Guo."
The smile on Zhan Guo's face became more intense, and he stood up and patted Darren on the shoulder.
"Then I'll trouble you with this matter."
————
Evening of the same day.
Darren, who finished his daily training at the training ground, walked towards his private residence on Batia Island with sweat all over his body.
Sunset and dusk.
Darren's military uniform was already tattered and hung on his body like a rag.
The muscle contours were like knives and axes, and there were many shallow craters and charred dirt on the sweaty skin - those were the traces of bullets and artillery bombardment.
"You really haven't changed at all..."
A slow voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Darren paused, his mouth curled up, and he turned around.
A tall figure stood in the setting sun, his arms folded across his chest, his body leaning against the wall, his wide cloak illuminated by the setting sun, a blood-red patch.
He looked at Darren's bloodstained, scarred body, his eyes flashing a sly smile under his sunglasses.
"Isn't it tiring to live like a beast every day?"
Darren threw a cigar over and lit one for himself, smiling and saying:
"Not everyone has a monstrous talent like you, Major General Borsalino."
