Chapter 548 Choice
Putting on a ski cap, Kunta took out a syringe from a small portable ice box and walked to Petain, changing his voice: "It can prevent you from falling into a coma due to pain. I don't know what kind of medicine it is."

Petain struggled desperately in vain.Kunta injected the potion into Petain's arm, looked at the row of tools hanging on the wall, stepped forward and took down a hammer, gently touched Petain's tail finger exposed outside the iron ring, stretched out his hand and tore it off. Then he dug out a piece of cloth from his mouth: "My question is who is the boss of the Holy Banner? I know you will not want to say it, and I also know that you are willing to say it after you have been tortured round after round. Even if So, I still have to ask first: Who is the boss of the Holy Banner?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

When Petain finished speaking, the hammer had already hit the tip of his little finger, and Petain screamed, struggled and cursed continuously.Unmoved, Kunta opened the drawer, took out a transparent vial containing liquid, and asked, "Who is the boss of Shengqi?" His tone was slow and weak, as if he was exhausted after repeating similar tasks thousands of times. sense.His mechanized movements made Petain know that he would never escape today.

"I say."

Kunta was stunned for a while: "Don't you?" I'm already planning to spend a day here, what do you mean?
Pétain said: "Father Lei, father Lei, the head of German intelligence."

After the United Kingdom officially started the process of leaving the European Union, Germany and France were the most unhappy.So a plan to split the United Kingdom came into being in the conspiracy between Lei's father and France's Dessler.The reason has been explained many times, that is to rely on the Industrial Investment to separate Scotland, Northern Ireland and even Wales from the United Kingdom.In Scotland's first industrial vote, the independent side lost by a narrow margin.This made them understand one thing, the British backyard must be set on fire before the Northern Ireland Industrial Investment, so the Holy Flag plan was officially launched.They contacted Petain and Davis, and they built the system of the Holy Banner inside and out, and with the assistance of intelligence, resources and weapons from Father Lei and Dessler, they launched round after round of attacks on London.

Their plan is very simple. The attack on London and the withdrawal of British troops from the Middle East will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the Americans and NATO members. The compromise to terrorism will lead to domestic dissatisfaction and the decline of international influence. Northern Ireland will take the opportunity to vote.We must know that today's Northern Ireland and Scottish Parliaments are both headed by independent factions, and it can be said that this opportunity will never come again.If the UK does not withdraw its troops and the holy flag is strong, it can spread the words that the UK will sacrifice the lives of the people in order to flatter the Americans.The attack can further disrupt law and order, and take the opportunity to ignite fires in Northern Ireland and Scotland, allowing the people to make their own choices.After all, in the Scottish Industrial Investment, the proportion of support and opposition to independence is very close. As long as some neutral people are recruited, their goals can be achieved.

It's a pity that the repeated raids did not go well. Except for the first raid on Maria's Hospital which made some achievements, the other raids were delivering food.Not only did it fail to achieve its own goals, but it set up a banner of efficiency, courage, determination and unyielding for the London judiciary.After the final attack, the plan for secession was officially declared a failure.

Fortunately, their hands and feet were very clean, and they got away in time.After Daisile was poisoned to death while recuperating in New Zealand due to an arm injury, Petain took the initiative to contact Lei's father and told him that if he died, Lei's father would not be able to escape.Lei's father swore that he had nothing to do with Dessler's death. Lei's father believed that it was the hands of the British. When they planted Marl's gang on the French, they got rid of Dessler by the way.

After Petain was arrested, she was never treated as a terrorist.Lei's father was busy with the joint investigation team and had no specific contact with Petain. After learning that Petain was protected by the French and the ins and outs of the case, he didn't take it to heart.

How to explain the relationship between Pétain and Phil?It turned out that before the official attack on London by the Holy Banner, Petain met Phil under the introduction of Coster.Facing the powerful generals of the South Treaty Organization, they developed from acquaintance and friends to love.At this time, Petain, who insisted on defending Hal, found that he had empathized and fell in love with Phil. Phil's mature masculine charm crushed Hal, so that they have maintained a relationship for the past few years, and Pétain never took advantage of it. Phil.

As for the safe and photos, it was arranged by Lei's father. He hoped that Phil would be ruined and at least leave his post.Petain still doesn't know that there is a video of himself and Phil in the safe, let alone that Lei's father arranged to secretly record the video of himself and Phil.

Kunta was very hesitant when he heard this, he didn't know whether to ask John.Pursuing the cause of John's death was the reason why Kunta forced Petain to confess, but if he asked about John, no matter how Petain answered, Kunta must silence Petain, otherwise he and Liang Xi would be put in danger.But Petain is now a very important figure in favor of England.

Because of the Rose Thunder Silencer project, Britain is currently very passive, and Germany and France are extremely arrogant, taking the opportunity to investigate information related to and irrelevant to the Silencer.The investigation team led by Phil is arguing with each other every day over whether the information will be disclosed to the joint investigation team, because the British side, which has lost the moral high ground of the Silencer Project, is now in a difficult job situation.

Petain was a sharp weapon for the British counterattack.The Silent Man Project was nothing more than a sword-butterfly scandal. The Holy Banner Project was not just a sword-butterfly scandal.Everyone can understand that Jiandie and the agents are doing dirty things, but the official cannot explain why they formed a terrorist group to attack the UK.The biggest advantage is that after grasping Germany and France, in the next 20 years, Northern Ireland and Scotland will no longer have vacillating situations and independent voices.

……

"You XX didn't ask?" Liang Xi was furious, and grabbed Kunta's collar in a rage: "I took so many risks, did so much work, told so many lies, and overdrawn my reputation, yet you told me that you XX didn't ask the most important question?"

The two met at [-]:[-] p.m. in a park parking lot that was not monitored. Kunta easily pushed Liang Xi away, not daring to meet Liang Xi's eyes: "I can't ask, if I ask, I have to kill her."

Liang Xi was still furious: "Aren't you ready to kill her? She is a terror. She killed many civilians. She deserves it. She is not a pity to die."

Kunta glanced left and right: "Be louder, sit down."

Liang Xi said angrily: "No, I'll just stand." His voice was much quieter.As a very rational person, Liang Xi was really furious this time.He has risked so many things, either for the benefit of the bullshit country, or for his own benefit.

Kunta said: "We will have supper later."

"Eat your sister." Liang Xi said, "I..." was too angry to speak.

Kunta said: "It's not my treat, it's Phil's treat."

Liang Xi sat down without saying a word.

Kunta handed over a cigar, but Liang Xi didn't even look at it. Kunta took out the lighter, and while lighting the cigar, he said, "I have some bad news. Petain retracted his confession as soon as he saw the police. She doesn't intend to hand over her Hiding the evidence and clues related to Father Lei, Daisile and Shengqi."

Liang Xi sneered: "Father Lei and Dai Sile are old fritters, how could it be possible to leave substantial evidence in Petain's hands? I think at most they can only be suspected, and it is far from enough to convict them. Maybe it is worse than this, Otherwise how do you explain why Petain is still alive?"

What Liang Xi meant was that Lei's father believed that the so-called evidence in Petain's hands would hardly harm him, and there was no need to get rid of Petain.Petain obviously knew this too. Even if she wanted to cooperate with the British, she might not be able to produce what the British needed.The most powerful evidence is of course Pétain’s testimony, but Pétain immediately retracted the confession when he saw the police and was taken to the blade for interrogation. He refused to admit everything he said when he was forced to confess.

Seeing that Kunta remained silent, Liang Xi seemed to blame himself, and said, "You should have obtained the evidence, right?"

Kunta said: "Sometimes you detectives are really annoying. Yes, I forced her to tell the evidence, which is a cloud disk with a recording in it, which is a recording of the conversation between Lei's father and Daisler. In the recording, Lei's father He and Dessler expressed their dislike of England, and at the same time mentioned things like fighting for the independence of Northern Ireland and Scotland. But there was no mention of the holy flag, nor did they mention specific actions. It is the personal statement behind the two adults on current affairs view."

This evidence can indeed give the British side a breather and effectively curb the arrogance of Germany and France in the joint investigation team, but it is far from achieving the purpose of countering them.

"Hello." Liang Xi answered the phone: "Damn it... Got it, see you tomorrow morning."

Kunta saw that Liang Xi was sluggish: "What's the situation?"

Liang Xi smiled bitterly: "I bought a knife to kill people, and now they want me to pay back the money." Chris conveyed Thresh's message, and Thresh asked about the progress of the case since it had been 36 hours since the kidnapping of Petain.There is bullshit progress, and now I can only admit to Thresh that my speculation is wrong, and then I can only accept clues from Thresh and start from Coster and House.

Kunta comforted: "Judging from John's last words, maybe the person who killed him was Father Lei."

Liang Xi said: "When I tracked down Levin, I received the clue of the last words left by John: Mal. In fact, I came from Mal first and then Levin. John is not a god. Now there are two lines, the first line is Bey When, Father Lei, the line of the Holy Banner, they may kill John. The second line is that the silent people plan this line. They even kill their own people, let alone John. Originally, this kidnapping could rule out or confirm John. It was because of which line was killed, and the result..."

"I'm sorry, can I kneel down for you?" Kunta asked, "I also made this decision in a very tangled situation, and I was also very sad. I'm sorry for you, sorry for Mary, and sorry for John. But I... ..."

"Understood." Liang Xi had a headache: "What's the situation with Phil?"

Kunta: "Rewards and thanks."

"I collaborated with a criminal gang to kidnap a criminal and tortured the criminal with my accomplices, and he thanked me for that."

"Don't breath so badly. I know you're upset, but at least you have a clear goal. Besides, Petain is still alive, and Lei's father is also alive. I will find a way to do this."

Liang Xi hurriedly said: "Don't, you lack brains in your head, just be responsible for your actions." The angry Liang Xi unconsciously became bitter and mean.

Kunta endured it, and he had to endure Liang Xi urinating on him today.He could understand Liang Xi's mood. John's death had been on Liang Xi's body for several years, and Liang Xi had been running around all over the past few years, not letting go of any clues.After years of hard work, Liang Xi slowly gathered the clues and focused on the two lines.When a godsend could rule out a line, he screwed up.

Liang Xi stood up: "Let's go, the general treats guests, you can't eat." The emperor has a reward, do you dare not?Liang Xi's current thinking is very extreme and rebellious.But after getting into the car and staring blankly for 10 minutes, Liang Xi changed back to Liang Xi.

……

Phil's office is still where Liang Xi met him last time, and there are still guards around. Kunta did not accompany Liang Xi, and let Liang Xi enter the living room alone.

A pair of glasses hung on the tip of Phil's nose. There were scattered yellow paper documents on the table in front of him, and a young officer was sitting beside him to assist in processing the documents.According to Phil's request, the officer took out a marker and crossed out the words on the document.Clearly this is a document to be handed over, but it contains sensitive information and must be filtered.

Phil pointed to the coffee table: "Sit down and let people serve snacks."

The soldier standing on one side responded and went to the kitchen to give orders. As a general, he has his own chef, not a Michelin chef, but an orderly.A pretty girl came over and explained that her name was Xiao Qing and she could help Liang Xi check his cell phone.Maybe it was inspection, maybe it was precaution, Liang Xi didn't talk nonsense, and handed the phone to the girl.A few minutes later, the girl came back and told Liang Xi that the phone was very clean.Xiaoqing left her phone number to Liang Xi, saying that if Liang Xi had any technical needs, he could contact her.

Snacks and tea were served on the tea table. Phil took off his glasses and walked over to sit opposite Liang Xi: "I usually live here temporarily when I have important work. There are no people living around, so it is convenient to deploy defenses and guard."

Phil picked up the tea and poured it on Liang Xi: "I know that you have done a lot for London and the UK over the past few years. But today I have to express my gratitude to you in person. What request can you make? ...not me thanking you personally, but the UK thanking you for giving us a branch in the middle of our mud."

Liang Xibei smiled and said, "It sounds insignificant."

"That's not the case with politicians," Phil said. "Our role in the Silent Man program was disgraceful, and we were on the point of being completely passive. Pétain's testimony put us on balance with the other side."

Liang Xi said: "If possible, I hope to restore the noble status of the Clement family?"

Phil was startled, and then smiled impressively: "This request is not high, it's just a status. It's really high, because it requires the consent of many people."

Just as Liang Xi was about to speak, Phil continued: "Yes. I can't guarantee it, but I can try. The blond Bobby has also done a lot of good things."

Liang Xi said, "Can I ask a question?"

Phil said: "You can say and ask anything today." The work environment that has been depressed for many days has ushered in a turning point, and his mood is also joyful.

Liang Xi said: "Although Kunta didn't explain the process, I can tell that Petain has unusual feelings for you. Don't you consider convincing Petain yourself?"

Phil said: "Your request is not easy, and your question is even more difficult to answer. I am still thinking that you will ask about the French general Dessler."

Liang Xi thought for a while: "I accept changing the question."

Phil said: "Dessler was the deputy director who arranged the assassination, and it was the deputy director who planted Marl's team on Dessler. They didn't know it at the time, and they didn't suspect that Dessler was related to the holy flag, but they just needed someone. When the process started, it was hostile to Britain, so he was the best choice."

Liang Xi said, "I still have a request."

Phil looked at Liang Xi: "It seems to be a difficult request for me."

Liang Xi nodded: "I hope the general can ask Petain a question for me: why did you kill John?"

Phil asked back: "Are you sure it was Petain who killed John?"

Liang Xi said, "No, but you can give it a try."

Phil understood what Liang Xi meant: "Let's assume it was Petain and the others who did it. Who would it be? It must not be Petain. She has a terrorist identity. She will not use a team of well-trained soldiers to kill John." Fear. If you think about it again, assuming that John's death is related to them, it must be that John found out about Daisler, Petain and Father Lei, who of them is most worried?"

Liang Xi said: "Father Lei and Dai Sile."

Phil nodded: "Dessler is dead. If you want to know if they killed John, you should ask Father Lei directly. Of course, Father Lei is a difficult person to deal with. You may not be able to ask the truth from him. I can agree You, I will also meet with Petain in the near future, and I will ask this question on your behalf."

Liang Xi said: "Thank you very much."

Phil said: "There is another purpose for inviting you here today. I want to hear your opinion."

Liang Xi asked, "What opinion?"

Phil asked, "What do you think Rose is like?"
