Military vehicles stopped at the square in the city center unimpeded. After military control, the military expropriated two commercial buildings around the square as a temporary headquarters to control the whole city.
Mennon followed the two soldiers to a room on the second floor. He frowned and didn''t go in.
"Why don''t you come in, mayor?" Lieutenant Mary stood in the room and looked at him. On the way, mennon already knew the name of the female officer. Her name was Mary.
"Do you want to interrogate me? Or do you want me to cooperate?", mennon smiled a few times, and the laughter was full of ridicule. In the room in front of him, there was no sofa, no tea table, no furnishings and green potted plants, only one table, three chairs and some recording equipment. These people were taken as prisoners by him. He was particularly angry, but at the same time, he was also very curious. What happened that made the military dare to interrogate him as a prisoner? Was there a mistake in any link?
In his position, he knew that the impact of the information gap was not just a few words. He stared at Lieutenant Mary. Lieutenant Mary really smiled and smiled generously this time.
"You misunderstood, sir. We just came here and didn''t focus on the layout of the room. If you think this room is not suitable for your status, you can go to see another room or choose one directly. I can guarantee that all rooms are the same." this statement is very good, which explains the reason for "wait a minute", He also gave mennong a ladder.
Mennon looked suddenly, and then stepped into the room. He won''t really go to see if the other rooms are all one table and three chairs, which will only embarrass himself.
After the three sat down, Lieutenant Mary took out several transcripts and put them on mennon''s desk. "Last night, we knew that Matthew was assassinated and immediately rushed to the scene, and left some evidence and photos..." she pushed the photo of Matthew''s death in front of mennon. The photo was taken at the scene of Matthew''s death, and Matthew leaned against the chair, His throat was cut open and even part of his Adam''s Apple could be seen. At the same time, a knife was inserted into his left eye socket, which was very scary.
There are also several photos of Matthew lying on the anatomical table. At this time, the dagger inserted in his eye socket has been taken out. After trace comparison, the military believes that this dagger is the dagger that cuts Matthew''s throat.
"We found only two evidences at the scene, one was a half very shallow shoe print, and the other was a cigarette end. Besides, there was no obvious discovery." then Lieutenant Mary took out a certificate from the document, "Then we investigated the records of the telegraph office. About five minutes before Matthew was killed, he was talking to Mr. Turin. We also asked Mr. Turin. He gave a positive answer and told us that Matthew asked him to verify something."
Speaking of this, Lieutenant Mary smiled strangely, "mayor, do you want to know what they said?"
Munnon frowned and leaned back. His elbow was supported on the armrest of the chair and his fingers pinched his chin. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lieutenant Mary. He hesitated for a moment. "What did they say?"
"What did they say? We''ll talk about it later.", Lieutenant Mary directly cut off the topic, which made mennon feel a touch of uneasiness. He felt that lieutenant Mary or the military had decided to eat himself, which made him breathe a little faster than before.
Lieutenant Mary asked again, "according to our understanding and the information provided by some witnesses, Mr. Matthew went to your office yesterday morning?"
"Yes, I asked him to come."
Lieutenant Mary nodded. "Did you have a quarrel? Or a fierce conflict?"
Mennon shook his head and said, "no, we have always had a good and peaceful atmosphere."
"Then can you tell me why Mr. Matthew walked all the way when he left, cursing you and Mr. durin?"
Mennon was stunned. At that time, he felt that the atmosphere between himself and Matthew was really as peaceful as he said. There was no quarrel, no conflict, or even a slightly more intense tone and action. Why did Matthew scold himself and bring Turin? He quickly reacted, "Because I told Mr. Matthew that durin hoped to solve the dispute between him and the West Mining Association in two ways, one good and one bad. Maybe Mr. Matthew misunderstood me, so he was dissatisfied with me."
The soldiers around Lieutenant Mary are taking notes quickly, and cameras and tape recorders are running around. The Imperial Cabinet and the Ministry of defense are very concerned about the unrest in the west, which has always been a "lawless place" , smuggling, murder, human trade, gang fighting, collusion between officials and businessmen... Almost all the bad things can be found here. Once the unrest in the West intensifies, the West will quickly enter a state of "anarchy".
At that time, it is very likely that something unacceptable will happen under the interference of external forces.
The war between the Empire and the Union ended 22 years ago. It ended only in the open. The war continued where people could not see it. For example, last year, an extremist religious organization committed an appalling suicide. 194 people died in the street after being brainwashed by the extremist religious organization and taking poison Shouted "the end of the empire is coming" and died in a row.
Later, when the military intelligence office and the security committee investigated the tragedy, they found that the top level of the extremist religious organization had fled the Empire, and found that behind the organization, some federal consortia had been supporting their activities.
There are many similar things. Some large foreign consortia support extremist organizations within the Empire to carry out sabotage, incitement, riots and other activities through funds or materials, in an attempt to break the calm of the Empire and create unrest. Once there is uncontrollable unrest in the west, these external forces will take the opportunity to enter. They may not be able to declare war on the Empire, but they can achieve the purpose of separating the Empire or even splitting the empire through financial, material and even human assistance.
Therefore, the high level of the whole empire paid close attention to these things in the west, especially those involving almost all the great powers in the West.
Mary smiled. "What about this afternoon? We have more than one testimony and witness proof here that Mr. Matthew went to your office in the afternoon. When he came out, he scolded and was assassinated not much after he came home. Do you think Matthew''s death..." Lieutenant Mary smiled meaningfully, "does it have anything to do with you?"
"You should keep these words and ask Mr. durin, not me, who spoke to him last!" mennon sneered and fought back.
"Our people are also asking about Dorian!" but I don''t know why. Lieutenant Mary''s eyes look a little helpless.
On the other side, people from the military stood in the hospital ward and asked similar questions. Their initial intention was to take Turin back to the headquarters, where Turin might "seriously" answer their questions. But what they didn''t expect was that they had no way at all because of the emergence of a person!
Just when they really wanted to do that, a man came into the room. His name was Thomas.
Thomas is no longer Colonel Thomas of the ilian naval base. He is major general Thomas now!
The old commander felt that he had to wait until the formal adjustment came down for another two months. It seemed that he was too greedy. He might as well retire early and make a report to the Navy headquarters. The naval headquarters naturally agreed with the little old man''s application and requirements. It not only approved the little old man to retire, but also allowed Colonel Thomas, the "gold salesperson" in the Navy, to cross the threshold that he could not cross in his life and become a rear admiral.
As soon as Dooling spoke on the phone, he came and was cutting apples for Dooling at the moment.
There is such a "military big man" here to guarantee Du Lin. how dare these big soldiers of the Western army military region forcibly take Du Lin away? Unless they want to go to military court, they are accused of inciting naval antagonism.
Now the navy is a piece of rotten meat and smelly black water. It has become a tool for the high-level navy to make money. But let''s give up. After all, the newly signed coastal defense treaty has not been stripped from people''s shallow memory, but if we don''t give up, the performance of the navy is a real headache for the Ministry of national defense.
The Ministry of national defense no longer appropriates funds for the Navy. The navy has found a way to make money. Now it is better to say that the navy is the navy of the empire than the navy of the Navy generals. The whole navy system is eating the money of the Navy generals from top to bottom. These people pay to support the whole navy. Of course, no matter how they got the money, whether it was legal or not, we must admit that it was because of these people that the Navy did not completely disperse.
Recently, the cabinet has the idea of reconciling with the Navy. The importance of coastal defense is becoming more and more obvious day by day. If the empire can''t firmly grasp the navy in its own hands, in case of war in the future, maybe the Navy will become the sharpest knife to destroy the Empire.
"Mr. durin..." the officer was interrupted by Thomas as soon as he spoke.
"Soldier, don''t you see I''m talking to my friend? Is that what your superiors taught you? Go out and stand until I let you in!" Thomas raised his eyebrows, which was really a bit of a general!
He withdrew his eyes, put the polygonal apple in his hand on the plate and handed it to Turin.
