Chapter 428 Explain, What Is Public Revenge
Ruben froze for a moment.
list?
Isn't this something that was mentioned last night? Only one day later, Henrik got such an important list?
At this moment, in addition to surprise and admiration, Ruben also felt a deep sense of frustration.
Before Sigmund appeared, Ruben was considered a major core of the team. Because he was good at observation and used to thinking, his ability to make plans and solve problems was much better than others.
But this time, he personally experienced what it means that there is no harm without comparison.
Even Princess Charlotte, who has always been smart, seems to be working in a dawdle, as if the three of them are working hard but standing still, while on the other side, they seem to have the ability to predict the future, recovering and tracing events surprisingly quickly.
One day's investigation progress is equivalent to a normal week.
Efficiency is everything in this critical moment.
"Show me!" Ruben and Charlotte said in unison.
Sigmund nodded, and three lists appeared in front of several people.
Everyone swept over quickly, and their faces changed one after another.
"The nobles on the list are all over most of Elam's provinces," Ruben said.
"With some invisible influence, it is an exaggeration to say that a country is subverted, but it is easy to influence the political situation." Charlotte added.
"Don't draw conclusions too early. Although I am very confident in the authenticity of this list, I have also learned some information from another source." Sigmund said, a stack of blank paper appeared in front of his hand, and then a Young faces with different expressions appeared on the white paper.
"Let's take a look, can the above portrait correspond to some of the people on the list?" In triplicate, he copied the faces he saw from Edward's memory, and then distributed them to everyone.
"This is Green, this is Thompson" "I met him a few years ago, I have an impression, and this..."
"What's going on?" Charlotte asked.
Sigmund repeated what he found on Edward, and everyone was surprised when they heard what he said.
"In addition, I also got news that the church intends to use a small group of people to influence these nobles to implement a secret plan on the day of the celebration, but unfortunately, I haven't found out what the specific plan is yet." Sigmund Said with some regret.
"Could it be that you planted someone next to Bishop Norius?!" Alec couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In just two days, from scratch, he not only unearthed the preparations made by the church four or five years ago, but also obtained the secret The list, and even the most important link in the ceremony have been clarified.
"Don't talk nonsense." Ruben glanced at Alec, "For so many years, we have tried every means to send people into the church, but in the end we all ended in failure."
"The internal defense of the church is tight. Only by accepting the contract can one become a high-ranking member of the church, and the method of signing the contract is in the hands of the church. This forms an endless loop."
"On the contrary, relying on mind control, it is much more convenient for them to place people in other forces." Ruben looked at Sigmund with admiration.
And Sigmund just smiled and didn't explain too much.
Alec was right, he really planted someone beside Norius.
"Now that the list has been determined and we know that they are planning to engage in a conspiracy on the celebration day, what should we do now? Should we directly send someone to arrest these nobles?" Alec asked.
"No, according to Henrik, these nobles are likely to be sympathetic, and they themselves are also victims. Once the matter is revealed, the church will probably control these people to do crazy things similar to self-harm... ..."
"The key is to find those who bear the blood." Reuben said.
"This should be the core secret, and maybe only a few people who made the plan know."
"In addition... the time left for us is too short. The celebration day will be three days later, and it is already late at night. To be exact, we only have two days left. We need to determine the identity of that group of people in such a short period of time. Identify and find them, and then make precise shots." Ruben's expression was serious.
"Since the time is too short, let's buy a little more time." Charlotte said suddenly.
"What?" Several people looked puzzled.
"We can postpone the celebration day, so that no matter what the oracle church's conspiracy is, there is no stage, no environment for the conspiracy, and their plan will be self-defeating."
"Postponing the celebration... is that okay?" Ruben hesitated.
"Why not?" Charlotte asked back.
"Our actions are very secretive. We have just investigated for two days. It is impossible for the church to know our progress and ideas, so as long as we find a reasonable reason to postpone the celebration day, not only can we temporarily resolve the coming crisis, but also Can buy some time...
Solve all crises before the real celebration day! ’ explained Charlotte.
"This is indeed a way." Sigmund nodded thoughtfully. He had been struggling with time and progress, but Charlotte jumped out of the frame of normal thinking.
"This can also avoid a dispute." She then added, "Don't forget that the church's canonization ceremony for Philip was also on that day."
"Why?" Reuben asked.
"I will discuss it with the teacher. It is not difficult to find a reasonable excuse, and there are indeed precedents in history." Charlotte replied.
"Very well, that's it." After discussing some details, Sigmund ended the dream meeting.
The next morning, when it was just dawn, he drove the carriage to the Investigation Bureau. Today's weather was a little drowsy, and a thick fog floated from the sea at the port north of Abetus, covering the entire city with it.
Although it does not affect the line of sight, the mood will inevitably be affected in this gloomy and dense foggy morning.
When parking, Sigmund saw the Skalid family's carriage from a distance.
Thomas was still lying obediently at home. The person who came here must be Dario Scalide. This guy came to pick up Edward.
"Good morning." Seeing Dario get off the carriage, Sigmund greeted with a smile.
"Is the investigation clear? I'll take my people back." Dario forced a smile on his face.
"Of course." Sigmund nodded with a smile, "I hope you can understand that this is our job, and some procedures should still be completed."
"I understand." Dario said kindly.
"Mr. Edward is also very cooperative with our work, but then... a little accident happened!"
"What accident?" Dario's expression tightened.
"We locked Edward in a separate room, and left after asking a few simple questions, but when we slept in the middle of the night, the guard suddenly heard a terrible crash, and he hurried away...
Then I saw Edward yelling in the room and hitting the wall with his head crazily! "Sigmund described it exaggeratedly.
At this time, under the leadership of the two, Edward, who was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, came out.
Seeing this scene, especially the clear footprints on Edward's face, Dario's suppressed anger burst out instantly.
"Henrik, give me a reasonable explanation!" Dario clenched his fists, the veins on his face popping out.
"Explanation?" Sigmund sneered.
"Are you worthy?"
