Thousands of sparks

Chapter 112
Du Sande, who was sleeping soundly on his own bed, was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.

The person who knocked on the door must not be a servant in the manor.No servant would have knocked at the door so violently in the evening, which would have been stopped with a direct swearing by the young Boulder butler—probably accompanied by a letter of dismissal.

In the manor, ensuring the quality of sleep for Dusande and Androni is the highest priority.This task took precedence even over obedience to Duchamp's orders.

Dusand opened his eyes suddenly, feeling a palpitation in his chest.He sat up from the bed with difficulty, and asked outside the door, "Who?"

The wooden door was slammed open, and two men in gray cloaks with red uniforms barged in unceremoniously.

"Mr. Dusand, an urgent order from Olin." Two postmen in red rushed into the room nervously, and said to Dusand who was sitting on the bed, "Olin has been attacked, the assailant It is the Marquis of Lafayette. The General Administration ordered us to conduct a thorough investigation of the Marquis of Lafayette's treason immediately, and before the investigation is completed, stop all shuttle ships traveling between Orin and Newsale."

Awoken from the dream by a sudden knock on the door, and startled by two postmen in red clothes breaking into the bedroom, Dusande didn't understand what happened at all.He opened his mouth, and then reorganized his words.

"Why did this kind of thing come to me?" This was Dusand's first question, "Where is the person in charge?"

"According to Deputy Chief Bourne's memorandum, you are now the top person in charge of the Newsail Coat of Arms Management Office." The shorter postman in red on the left quickly said, "Before you get the personnel change order from Olin, You're... the one in charge."

"What the hell happened to Olin?" was Dusand's second question.

"According to intelligence, there was a ship hijacking incident on the interstellar landing field in Orin. The stolen ship was a Royal direct ship - after leaving the interstellar landing field without permission, the ship rammed the command of the Royal Second Guards Navy department."

Dusande swallowed hard, even though he couldn't secrete enough saliva from his coughing mouth.

"Then...?" he asked frightened.

"The stolen ship then tried to escape, but was destroyed by a ship of the Second Guard Navy in the atmosphere of Olin. The postmen in red from the General Administration found the Marquis de Lafayette who was confirmed dead on board." Another A taller postman in red said, "The General Administration confirmed that the Marquis of Lafayette was the mastermind of the hijacking incident. At the same time, he also needs to be responsible for the 21 sabotage, four murders, six kidnappings and two incidents that occurred on the Olin. Take responsibility for treason."

Dusand was dumbfounded, but fortunately he had been up for a few minutes, and his mind quickly realized something was wrong.

Bourne is Olin who went with the Marquis!
"That Berne..."

"Director... The body of the director was found in the forest outside the Olin interstellar landing site. It should be that Mr. Director was attacked just after they arrived in Olin." The short postman in red said quickly, "The General Administration determined that The hidden guards may have sneaked into Orin to carry out sabotage activities, and they asked us to start cleaning up the dark guards in Nusaar immediately."

died?That old bastard died suddenly?

It was as if Dusand was suddenly surrounded by an invisible huge thing. He stood up from the bed to the ground with difficulty, but his whole body was still unable to move for a long time as if he had lost his soul.

"My lord, my lord!" The two postmen in red looked at each other, and they both saw expressions of relief and worry in the eyes of their colleagues.The good news is that Chief Bourne did produce a new guy who will mourn his death, the worry is...they're not sure if Dusande can handle the burden that suddenly fell on him.

Du Sande took two deep breaths, and then held it tightly.He was forcing himself to think with his head.No matter what is going on in the mind, the key now is the action of "thinking".

Director Bourne arrived in Orin with the Marquis. There is no doubt that Bourne had completely lost his doubts about Lafayette before leaving for Orin.

You know, a few weeks ago, Bourne worriedly asked Dusand whether "the Marquis of Lafayette is loyal to the empire", but this time he was able to set off with the Marquis and take a civilian ship to Olin... that means He has completely trusted the loyalty of this high-ranking nobleman.

Bourne is by no means a person who is easily deceived. He is fully aware of how large the organization of the hidden guards is - he even clearly knows that Morse is the hidden guards.

With Bourne's suspicious character and the clues he has already grasped... If the hidden guard has already entered Olin, and even has the ability to carry out assassination, sabotage kidnapping, arson, and even shipjacking, it is impossible for him to fail to grasp the clues. It is also impossible to be concealed so easily.

This is not reasonable.

Dusande was thinking a lot, but he quickly caught on to the first clue.

"You two, immediately mobilize all the forces we have. I want to know the current location and movement of every relative, family member, and friend of the Marquis." Dusande gave instructions to the two while thinking in his mind Tried to find a solution.

There was something wrong with Bourne's cause of death, which Dusande immediately concluded.Although the Dark Guard has great powers, its development and operation are almost entirely under the supervision of the Newsail Arms Management Office.Du Sande even suspected that at least one-third of the members of the Dark Guard and the former Zealot Party were inserted by the Heraldry Management Office.

Under such circumstances of infiltration and supervision, it is almost impossible for the marquis's hidden guards to successfully organize an assassination against the chief of the Imperial Colony Heraldry Management Office.

What's more, this kind of assassination itself is meaningless-what's the value of assassinating Bourne in Orin?Without Newsale, Byrne was nothing more than a suspicious senior postman in red.Only when he was in Newsale, he was the "uncrowned king" who controlled the intelligence agency with tens of thousands of people.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Lafayette really frantically attacked Bourne, what's the point of hijacking the ship afterwards?Regardless of what Lafayette had planned on Olin... when he assassinated Bourne, the plan must have reached its final stage.

In the final stage of the plan, Marquis Lafayette neither attempted to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, nor launched a larger-scale coup; nor did he bring in alliance or federal forces to launch a large-scale attack on the empire.

So... what's the point of hijacking a ship?What was the point of crashing into the headquarters of the Second Fleet of the Royal Guards of the Imperial Navy?
Now it seems that there are two explanations for what happened in Olin.

The first one is that Bourne did die at the hands of Lord Lafayette, and Lafayette's purpose is a mystery, and it is difficult to judge whether his plan was successful or not—after all, dead people can't speak.

The second is that Bourne did not die at the hands of Lafayette Hou, but other forces intervened.

This is the most chilling situation, and one that Dusande can't solve at all.To be able to act so recklessly in the capital of the Empire, and completely block... or drive the Olin Heraldry Administration to lift the protection of Bourne.This enemy is probably not ordinary scary.

In order to make Bourne's death justifiable, they even created a ship robbery case, and for this they took the headquarters of the Second Fleet of the Royal Guards of the Imperial Navy... This sudden force is not only unscrupulous, but also seems to not care about "incidental" damage".

Dusande's brain was running at full speed, but the two red-clothed postmen standing at the door encountered difficulties.They really didn't know whether they should leave immediately to carry out Dusand's order, or wait until Dusande figured it out.

"Your Excellency?" the tall postman in red asked cautiously, "Do you have any orders?"

"What are you doing here?" Dusande realized that there were still two big living people standing in his bedroom. "Let's go quickly, and report the location of those people as soon as possible - monitor first, and don't disturb them unless the other party shows obvious signs of fleeing."

"Then you are going with us...?" The short postman in red asked, "Our steam carriage is still outside, and the engine is still on."

"Time is tight and tasks are heavy, you go first." Du Sande waved his hand, "I still have to change clothes, you go to work first, I will go directly to the place later."

After sending away the two postmen in red, Dusand changed into his clothes as quickly as possible.And Androni, who was also awakened, also walked to Dusand's room, "What happened?"

"Mother..." Dusande put on her clothes, helped Androni to sit on the sofa first, and then said, "The Marquis of Lafayette is dead, and Bourne is dead. A message from Olin The latest information is that Bourne was assassinated by Lafayette. Mr. Marquis caused a lot of sabotage in the capital, and finally hijacked the ship and crashed into the headquarters of the Royal Second Guard Fleet of the Imperial Navy."

Androni's face turned pale in an instant, she shook slightly, and then said forcefully, "There is a problem with this information."

"There is indeed a big problem. No matter how stupid the Marquis of Lafayette is, the hidden guards will not cooperate with him to do such a stupid thing." Du Sande nodded and said, "I have already paid the postman in red I need you to write me a letter."

"Who is it for?" Androni nodded, took the dip pen and letter paper from the side and asked, "Say, I'll write it."

"Writing to Mr. Morse, please write in your letter that Mr. Marquis is dead, and has been accused of 'assassinating the director of the Newsale Arms Management Office'." Dusand said with a serious expression, "Please He fully cooperates with my work - if the members of the shadow guard want to survive."
