Chapter 1589: Game

Upon hearing this name, Kelinxi's expression changed abruptly.

He looked at Qingyang Shuo, his brows knitted tightly, and said coldly, "Mr. Qingyang Shuo, Gelin is a citizen of our Britain; he is guilty, and no one can absolve him of his crimes."

Qingyang Shuo looked at Kelinxi calmly and said apologetically, "Oh, I see."

Qingyang Shuo then said, "Your Excellency Kelinxi, do you wish to know about the recent matter of France intending to launch a surprise attack on your Britain?"

Hearing this news from Qingyang Shuo, Kelinxi's expression instantly stiffened.

France was going to launch a surprise attack on them?

They had never heard of such intelligence.

He took a deep look at Qingyang Shuo; he knew that the intelligence network of Longyan City was very famous throughout the world, but he had not expected that Qingyang Shuo would be able to know such secret information.

This could simply be called incredible.

Such news could be called France's greatest secret, yet he had not expected that Qingyang Shuo actually knew it.

Kelinxi looked deeply at Qingyang Shuo and cursed inwardly; this old fox had clearly planned this all along, intending to discuss the most important matter at the very end.

If Qingyang Shuo left, such news would be completely useless.

A Captain Gelin was not worth him wasting the opportunity to learn a piece of weighty news.

Thinking of this.

Kelinxi said, "Mr. Qingyang Shuo, we can talk about Gelin's matter."

"We can continue to discuss this matter."

Qingyang Shuo smiled and said, "I think it would be better this way, Your Excellency Kelinxi: you hand Gelin over to me, and I will tell you this news. This is a fair trade."

Kelinxi looked at Qingyang Shuo, realizing that the other party would not make any further concessions.

He could only say, "Go and bring Gelin over."

The attendant soon released Captain Gelin from the prison.

And brought him here.

Kelinxi looked at Gelin without speaking; a captain was not enough to make him take it too much to heart.

He now only wanted to know about the news regarding France; the matter of France launching a surprise attack in winter was too important.

It was currently winter, the most suitable time for fighting, and furthermore, their number of British Soldiers was relatively small, putting them at a natural disadvantage compared to France.

If France launched a sneak attack, they would not have much ability to stop it.

Thinking of this, Kelinxi felt a headache coming on.

But now that Qingyang Shuo could tell them this news about France, it allowed him to see more hope.

"Now, we can continue our discussion, Mr. Qingyang Shuo."

Qingyang Shuo nodded and told Britain everything about the French plan previously provided by Wan Shang and Fang Dalong.

In fact, even without the matter of Captain Gelin, Qingyang Shuo had been prepared to tell him this news.

It was just that if he could gain a friend through such a piece of news, that was also a very good choice.

After hearing the news.

Kelinxi's brows were tightly knitted; he had already realized the severity of the problem.

The location where France was going to launch the sneak attack was the place he was most worried about.

Qingyang Shuo glanced at Captain Gelin and smiled, "Your Excellency Kelinxi, I am taking the person with me, but Gelin is guilty after all; however, I believe you will certainly clear them of their charges."

Kelinxi was stunned and looked at Qingyang Shuo.

Qingyang Shuo took Captain Gelin onto the Horse Carriage and drove away.

At this time, in the French colony.

Richard did not know that his battle plan had already been leaked.

Instead, he was currently flying into a rage.

The recent robberies at the Zhian-suo made Richard feel exceptionally irritable; this matter was someone provoking him.

Thinking of this, Richard always had to give his Chief of Police a sound scolding.

Three days had not yet passed.

After being scolded, the Chief of Police would go to the Armis Agency to urge Deng En to hurry up.

The Chief of Police even wished he could see the criminals immediately.

But hope is always beautiful, while reality is always cruel.

Deng En had not obtained any more useful information.

Moreover, that gang of bandits had indeed vanished as if they had disappeared in an instant; it was completely impossible to find their tracks.

Deng En was also annoyed by the Chief of Police's urging and said to him coldly, "If you want me to continue investigating, keep your mouth shut!"

The Chief of Police felt inexplicably aggrieved, but he did not dare to say another word.

After all, Deng En was the only person he was currently counting on to solve the case.

Thinking of this, the Chief of Police did not continue to disturb Deng En.

This allowed Deng En to calm down and search for those bandits; Deng En pondered the information collected so far.

It was only possible to know that these criminals were very professional.

Their current methods were more effective than those violent robbers who blew up walls and robbed on horseback.

And they could extremely quickly evade searches by the police officers.

Their timing was controlled with extreme precision.

Deng En questioned everyone who was present at those two robberies, and their answers were very consistent.

They said: 'After the robbers rushed in, they first fired their guns, then very orderly controlled the security personnel, then ordered the guards to take out the keys, and they left after filling the prepared sacks.'

Deng En suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a key question: none of these robbers were riding horses.

Instead, they were not worried about being discovered at all; one could even say they were impatient to be discovered.

This was the first time Deng En had ever heard of robbers who made no attempt to hide after a robbery.

Deng En frowned slightly, connecting the previous clues together.

Well-trained, punctual, not afraid of being discovered... Deng En said doubtfully, "Perhaps they are not robbers?"

He thought of this possibility, but Deng En had absolutely no Method to verify his conjecture.

In his view, this idea was simply impossible.

In the current France, besides the French Army, there existed another such unit in the region.

This was simply impossible.

Thinking of this, Deng En gave a self-deprecating smile, feeling his idea was very childish.

He rubbed his temples; the long hours of work over the past two days had left him unable to relax at all, and now he only felt a sharp pain in his temples.

His head felt dizzy and heavy, like a ball that could fall off at any moment.

Deng En sighed, looking at the stacks of case files; he had to go downstairs to have a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

Two days had already passed.

There was only one day left until the final deadline.

He had to give the Chief of Police a satisfactory answer within the remaining time, otherwise his situation would become very dangerous.

Deng En arrived at the coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee.

For him, coffee was the best tool for staying alert.

Deng En looked outside the coffee shop, watching the Indian children playing outside.

Deng En watched the game they were playing with great interest.

It was a game called "Knock Down the French...".

This game was very popular among the Indians; Deng En was a German who had immigrated here a long time ago, and he had a natural fondness for these Indians.
