Chapter 1371

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat strange, the incandescent light flickering. Skain picked up the pistol on the table. Before he made any movements, the gun turned into parts in his hand and scattered on the desktop.

Laizong picked up the briefcase beside the seat and took out a document from it.

"Kukulin · Bai Ye, active-duty Special Situation Emergency and Cleanup Strategic Force, July 15, shot and killed the diplomatic envoy of the Alaydo country during a secret mission, 4 shots in total, shell casings found at the scene, the whereabouts of the body of the Alaydo diplomatic envoy are unknown.

Kukulin · Bai Ye, answer me, did the diplomatic envoy 'Elvis · Elinor' have the intention to attack you at the time of the incident? Although according to the description of witnesses, the diplomatic envoy 'Elvis · Elinor' used a weapon first, considering that the witnesses are your comrades-in-arms, this ridiculous document is not enough to clear your name.

Attacking a diplomatic envoy of another country, especially a non-warring country's diplomatic envoy, is a serious crime no matter which force you serve!"

Laizong tried his best to endure the urge to tear up the document in his hand. This 14-page document had 80% of its content painted over with black ink and marked as military secret. From this document, Su Xiao not only had no crime but should have been credited with a merit.

"You are defending this country, this is an act worthy of respect from all citizens, including myself, but the Alaydo country is our friendly country, a long-term black gold trading partner. If we don't give them a satisfactory explanation, they won't be able to save face."

Clearly, Laizong was not unreasonable, but this matter involved relatively large interests. The black gold he mentioned was actually oil.

The Alaydo country was a small country, one of the vassal states of the Gaya Alliance, providing black gold to the Gaya Alliance almost unconditionally, while the Gaya Alliance provided military protection.

The Alaydo country was clearly bullied by the Killing Force, and they didn't dare to go to the Killing Force to ask for an explanation, so they could only find trouble with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Gaya Alliance, a typical case of picking on a soft persimmon.

And after Su Xiao's identity shot and killed the diplomatic envoy of the Alaydo country, the last mission he received was to squat in prison. Precisely because of this, Su Xiao's data was active in the Killing Force.

"He attacked me first."

Su Xiao spoke. He finally understood what was going on. The situation in front of him was that there was no proof of death. With the style of the Killing Force, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for the ministries of foreign affairs of the two countries to find the body of the deceased, and the shell casings at the scene were ten times out of ten left intentionally.

"Do you have any evidence."

Laizong was not hostile to Su Xiao; on the contrary, he also wanted to solve the trouble in front of him as soon as possible.

"The people present at the time are all witnesses."

"..."

Laizong was speechless for a moment. There were eight people present at the time, six members of the Killing Force, one war correspondent, and one merchant from the Alaydo country.

The testimonies of the six members of the Killing Force were very consistent, or rather, too damn consistent, consistent to the point of being the same person's testimony.

As for that war correspondent, the other party was receiving treatment in a mental hospital in a nearby city. The merchant from the Alaydo country was even more speechless. When questioned, this middle-aged man, nearly 50 years old, only repeated one sentence: 'It was that diplomatic envoy who pulled the gun first,' no matter how he was asked, it was just this sentence.

"Don't bite hard, just close the case."

Skain suddenly spoke. He knew what was going on with this matter.

"Just a normal process of questioning."

Laizong let out a long sigh of relief. He actually already knew that he wouldn't be able to ask anything today. Afterward, he would need to negotiate with the Alaydo country for a month or even half a year.

"One last question."

While Laizong was speaking, he took out something similar to a radio from his briefcase and pressed the button. This was a type of old-fashioned tape recorder. For the technology of this world, this size of tape recorder was already very advanced.

"Kukulin · Bai Ye, when you shot and killed 'Elvis · Elinor', did you feel guilty in your heart?"

Hearing this question from Laizong, Su Xiao felt slightly confused. He couldn't figure out what kind of interrogation method this was for a moment, so he cast his gaze toward Skain.

Skain nodded slightly.

"Some guilt. If the gun in his hand wasn't aimed at me, he shouldn't have died."

Click, Laizong pressed the button of the tape recorder.

"You, go out first."

Laizong glanced at the slightly fat diplomat. The slightly fat diplomat, who was sitting on pins and needles, walked out of the room quickly. When he walked to the door, he specifically stayed away from Su Xiao.

With a bang, the door was locked tightly.

"Answer directly that you are very guilty. I will start over. I will handle the follow-up of this matter."

After saying this, Laizong stood up and pushed open the door. The slightly fat diplomat returned to the room again.

Everyone sat down, and Laizong pressed the button of the tape recorder. He only needed one sentence.

A minute later, Laizong put away the tape recorder, and the slightly fat diplomat wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Mr. Laizong, doing this... is it really okay."

The slightly fat diplomat was clearly a bit guilty. Originally, he thought the relationship between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Killing Force was not very good, so he was "extra attentive" in this matter.

But he was terrified to find that Laizong, a high-level official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, actually came to Gakbak Prison specifically to provide false testimony.

"Otherwise, what do you want? In the absence of direct evidence, Kukulin · Bai Ye was locked in prison for a month, and now he expresses deep sorrow for the victim. This face has been given enough."

Laizong stood up and began to tidy up the documents on the table.

"Kukulin · Bai Ye, you are out of prison, sign it."

Skain pulled open the drawer and tossed a certificate of release to Su Xiao. This thing was clearly prepared long ago.

"Transportation nearby is inconvenient. If you want to return to Heat City, you should take Laizong's car."

When the matter was about to end, Skain didn't forget to disgust Laizong. The relationship between the two was very interesting, both enemies and friends.

"Can."

Laizong didn't care much about this matter, but the slightly fat diplomat cared very much.

"Mr. Laizong, this, is it not good~"

The slightly fat diplomat was now smiling worse than crying. He didn't want to ride in the same car with a member of the Killing Force, let alone that he had set traps for the other party many times in the past month.

"Shut up."

Laizong's tone was understated. He tidied up his briefcase and walked out of the office.

"Give you three days off to go to Heat City to have fun."

Skain took out three stacks of red and green tickets from the drawer and tossed them on the desk.

"Day off?"

Su Xiao folded the signed certificate of release and put it into his bosom. This thing might be useful in the future.

Skain's words made Su Xiao a bit puzzled. He was already out of prison, so he was not under Skain's jurisdiction, but under the jurisdiction of the Killing Force.

"Right, although I will take office in three days, it's no problem to issue orders in advance. Your original superior kicked the bucket. I happened to be handling your matter recently, so the higher-ups transferred me to the Killing Force. In three days, I will be your superior."

Clearly, Skain was promoted. Although the Killing Force only had a few hundred people, the total commander was a colonel rank, but the Killing Force was a special privilege force, directly under the Presidential Palace. The only two people who could manage Skain were the General of the Second Army, and then the President.

These two people were busy with ten thousand things every day. Precisely because of this, Skain's real power was even greater, and ordinary lieutenant generals wouldn't easily provoke him.
