59 Chapter 56
Feng Deweien, who had been sitting upright watching the play, suddenly raised his hand to look, and then gave Hirosa a look calmly.After receiving the message, Hiji raised his eyelids and looked in the direction of 29. Logically speaking, this movement was more subtle, but 29 nodded slightly, turned around and opened the door. At the same time, another mutant picked up Lambert with one hand and walked towards Drag outside.
Lambert's white cloth wrapped his palm was bleeding again immediately, and he struggled loudly, "What are you doing! Where are you taking me!"
This time, no one intervened, only the sound of his screams and struggles in the room, and even Rott just looked back and forth between him and Mande blankly, standing in the corner helplessly.
Hiji cleared his throat and said, "Look over here, the matter between the two of us is not over yet."
Rott turned his head, his eyes were red with hatred: "I have nothing to say to you."
"Okay," Hiroshi sneered, "Then let's talk about it in the judicial office."
Hiji continued: "As for you, Mande, I believe everyone here has more things they want to ask you."
As soon as he finished speaking, several Patriarchs rushed to say: "That's right! Is what said above true?"
"Old Mande, you should explain it clearly to me!"
"I thought you were just greedy for petty gains, but I didn't expect you to cheat me! You really cheated me of 1000 million?"
Old Mande's head suddenly became dizzy, and he didn't dare to speak easily—it's no wonder he has a bad memory, he didn't get the memo book in his hand, and he didn't know the specific things that Hiroji poked out .If he quickly confessed something that was not in the document, it would be more harm than good.
But his attitude of refusing to cooperate greatly annoyed the people present, and everyone quarreled, and the meeting scene turned into a debate court, or some large-scale bargaining scene in the Wasteland Market .
Suddenly, a whistle sounded outside the window, and the quarrel in the room stopped for an instant. Hijiri looked at his watch and said, "It seems that the preliminary results of the search on the Eclipse have come out."
"Are you serious?!" Rott couldn't believe it, "Did you really let the judicial office get involved?"
"You haven't seen how serious I am." When Hijiru said this, the duty boat of the Judiciary had already stopped in the bilge, and the loudspeaker broadcasted through every loudspeaker on the New World: "Rom Ms. T. Fanciulian, please come out alone with your hands in the air, without sudden movements!"
"We have an arrest warrant, I repeat, walk out alone, with your hands raised, don't make too sudden movements!"
Rott gritted her teeth and stood with her head down for a while. When she raised her head again, she had recovered her calm expression. She straightened her hair against the window glass of the ship, and walked her legs with her head held high.When she came to the door, she suddenly turned her head and conveyed a few words viciously - "Let's wait and see".
Day Division was noncommittal.
Let the judicial office take Roth away, while Hiji himself detains Lambert alone for 24 hours, so that he can ask what he wants to know about his father at the first time, and then hand him over to the judicial office. This is before going out. Just discuss things with von der Wien and 29.Now 29 should have taken Lambert to drive away the accompanying boat, the evidence of the Eclipse was blocked, and Rot was also taken into custody by the judicial office. Mander had to face the grinning lions alone.Hijiki lost interest in this, and stood up together with Feng Deweien, and Mande immediately shouted after seeing it: "Wait, where are you going?"
Hirosa glanced at him, as if he hadn't decided whether to talk to him or not, another Patriarch immediately walked up beside him. With a strange smile, he hesitated and said, "The one you said before..."
you?Hiji also replied with a half-smile: "Which one?"
"As for what you said before," when he asked, the other patriarchs also listened attentively, "since the judicial office is here..."
Although the judiciary in Humoti was better than the gangster-like police station in Limburg, it was not much better.Sandwiched between a utterly anarchic wasteland and a Humorti struggling to restore the glory of the Golden Age, Limburg seems to have order, but order is in the hands of very few people.On the surface, Humoti seems to have inherited the appearance of the old capitalist democratic system, but due to the unprecedented monopoly, Humoti civilians, who account for 80.00% of the total population, have an extremely weak voice. The so-called fairness and legal system actually rely on only the top ten Due to mutual restraint by the family, the judicial office has also become a puppet institution with a public relations function as its main function and a violence function as a supplement.
However, the judiciary was able to issue an arrest warrant for Roth today, and the decisive factor behind it is naturally impossible to be "evidence". An arrest warrant of this level needs to be signed by one of the top ten judges, and these judges are all It was nominated by the major families and passed by a unified vote, and the close and distant relatives behind it are clear at a glance.
Hiji smiled, and said: "The main function of the Judiciary is to maintain the legal security of Xu Moti. Vicious crimes like Fan Xiulian's naturally need to be detained as soon as possible pending trial."
He specifically emphasized the words "Humoti", implying that "I will not intervene in the bad things on Limburg for the time being." Seifer felt relieved, nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course. "
Seeing that the fishing line hooking Saiful's mouth was loosened, several other Patriarchs also hurried up to deal with Hijiri. Even though the situation is not clear for the time being, the balance of foot strength seems to be tilted towards the side of the young Patriarch - Even if there is no written guarantee, it must be right to express his friendship with him verbally.
But von der Wien was getting impatient with the wait, and said angrily, "Are you ready? Why did you go so early?"
Everyone's expressions were a little awkward, but Hiroji still maintained a decent smile and elegant demeanor, talking nonsense from both sides, as if he was not the one who rushed in and shot Lambert just now.Seeing that everyone's attention was diverted from him, Old Mande quickly used the communication terminal to secretly call the guards on standby on his airship—as long as he can get away now, it will be easy to talk about it in the future.
It's just that after several messages and communication requests passed, there was no response from the other end. He was full of doubts when he suddenly saw Hiroshi in the crowd give him a light glance, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back.
No wonder Hiji took control measures towards both Rot and Lambert, but he ignored him—it turned out that he was waiting for him here.
The most reliable guard around him has probably been killed by the weird masked killer group, and the dissatisfaction of the other Patriarchs towards him is reaching a peak at this moment. Each accusation should be explained one by one, and if necessary, a large amount of funds will have to be frozen for compensation-and the hired armed forces he recruited for the all-round sniper day division need a large amount of funds to maintain, and he will also face a very embarrassing situation.
Old Mande was so overwhelmed that he didn't pay attention to what Hijiri said to Gogol before leaving.
"Think about what Old Feng said. Older people should worry less. It's time to release your daughter."
Gogol resolutely became vigilant: "What's wrong with Anna? Oh, don't think that you have the upper hand for a short time, it means nothing, you don't want to marry her!"
"Married?" Hisashi smiled, "You really look down on her too much."
After returning to the Laurel, Hiroji didn't stop for a moment, and went straight to the room on the top floor where Lambert Leonis was temporarily imprisoned.Old Mander’s previous guess was correct. Judge Lin, who signed Roth’s arrest warrant, was the candidate nominated by Hiroshi before—these people who are not from noble family backgrounds but can climb to the top of the pyramid are good at judging the situation. You have to be able to look at the advantages and disadvantages in front of you. The situation in front of you is still full of fog, but it is the best-it is meaningless to stand in line when the trend is right.
What's more, the "golden key" is still held in the hands of Hiroshi. Since the decision to arrest or release is the intention of the superiors, there will be no doubts about delaying Lambert's arrest for 24 hours.
So, Lambert Leonis was sitting in the large empty room at this moment, with his ankle tied to the leg of the bench, his left hand supporting the wrist of his injured right hand, his face was pale and old due to blood loss.The carpet was very thick, and the curtains were drawn all around, blocking out the sounds of the world, and there was only pale and harsh light in the room.
After Hisuji entered the door, he picked up a stool with one hand and placed it opposite Lambert. The overhead light shone on his browbones, and his eyes were completely hidden in the shadows.Holding the smoking teacup in one hand, he unbuttoned a coat button on his abdomen with one hand, and just happened to see the gun pinned to his waist after sitting down.
Hiji blew on the tea, the hot air wet his eyelashes, Lambert said, "Water, give me some too."
Hiji said, "I don't want to."
"Oh," Lambert said indifferently, "childish."
Hisashi said: "Let's talk, I met you when I was a child? I probably have a little impression, but it seems that I don't have it when I grow up."
Lambert raised his eyebrows: "I don't remember, is it important?"
"Just curious," Hiji said, "So since when did you act in place of Shen Cang?"
"What do you think?" Lambert said indifferently.
"Why? If I remember correctly, you and him have been very different people since childhood. I am like him, and Dawn is like you. They have never been interested in family business and the like. They hate responsibilities and burdens, so the two brothers A harmonious division of labor existed for the first 20 years."
"Oh? You're talking about our division of labor." Lambert said, "He will be the genius in charge of the world's attention, and I will be the cynical and transparent person living in his shadow?"
Hiji asked: "If you had objected to this situation earlier, why didn't you take any action until three years ago?"
"Three years ago? Look, don't you know that?" Lambert said contemptuously.
His attitude was both arrogant and perfunctory, and Hijiri began to get a little impatient: "Okay, then let me ask you, where is Shen Cang now?"
Looking directly into his eyes, Lambert spit out a few syllables: "In the sea."
Hirosa was silent for half a second, then he stood up suddenly and casually picked up a decorative object next to him - an old-fashioned telephone, and swung his arm violently on Lambert's chin.
Lambert yelled in pain, and was thrown backwards. The stool fell to the ground with a muffled "bang!", and the back of his head hit the floor through the carpet.
"Ah!" Lambert struggled a bit, but his ankles were still tied to the chair legs, his palms were on the ground, and the cloth that had dried up several layers of old blood on the outside of his palms was again pink.
Hisuji leaned down and grabbed him by the collar, pulling him up, Lambert almost suffocated, Hisusi's face suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, with a few drops of his blood spattered under his eyes.
"Do you think I'm chatting with you?" Hiji asked, "You can talk if you want, and don't if you don't want to?"
"You may not be aware of your situation, let me tell you clearly," Hiroshi tapped his temple with the hard metal horn of the telephone landline: "I ask, you answer, if the answer is still so dishonest, I'll kill you and ask someone else, such as Dawn, do you understand?"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Lambert was almost out of breath, Hijiri let go of his hand and pushed, the front legs of the chair tilted up, Lambert fell backwards, seeing that the back of his head was about to suffer again, Hiji stepped on it with his legs and feet His stool—which happened to be on the bed—was dangerously close to a vulnerable spot.
Lambert was panting heavily, he didn't know whether it was pain or anger, Hiroshi had already stepped back and sat back in his chair, picking up the still steaming teacup in leisure time: "Now, let me ask you again, God Where is Cang?"
"In the sea," Lambert gritted his teeth, "dead, fell into the sea and died."
His expression didn't change, but his masseter muscles moved, and he said, "You, or you?"
"What?" Lambert asked back, and then understood: "You think I killed it?"
"The surveillance records on the Eclipse can be screened out immediately, this is your last chance to confess." Hiroji said.
"Frankly? Tell you the ins and outs of the matter and you will let me go?" The blood from the broken corner of his forehead dripped down his eyebrows, Lambert raised his hand and rubbed it, "Five years ago, Shen Cang suddenly retired, Why do you think Leonis was given the position of acting Patriarch to you?"
Hiji quickly replied, "Of course it's because the time has come."
"When will it be?" Lambert asked back, "Although you have been an adult for a while, you have not yet reached the point where you can take up this seat with one hand. If you say it is in line with your desire to move away from the Eclipse The decision was just made—it has been some time since Rott brought Donne to the Eclipse, why did he choose that time?"
Hisashi frowned, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"You're not wrong," Lambert said, "It's true that the time has come, but it's time to point out Shen Cang, and he has become more and more powerless, unable to deal with the complicated matters of the Leonis family and the entire Humoti. .”
Hiji asked, "What do you mean, he's not yet sixty."
Lambert said: "He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease seven years ago, and it was quite severe five years ago. You know, people with this disease are not aware of the progress of pathological symptoms. It is quite rare to be able to perceive the decline in one's judgment ability and indifference of emotion. So before there is too much delay, he made a decision to hand over Leonis to you in advance."
It was the first time Hiji was silent for such a long time since he entered the door. He tried hard to recall his father's mental state and strange clues, but unfortunately, like every attempt in the past, the samples of memory were very rare——Since the death of Hiji's mother, the father and son Communication is minimal.
"You don't know, of course you don't know," Lambert smiled. When he was beaten just now, he bit his lip, and when he smiled, he saw blood between his teeth. "He won't let anyone know about it. Impossible, the god who calls the wind and rain, how can he suffer from such a disease of no dignity? It's a pity that when fate comes, it doesn't care if you are the king of heaven."
Hisashi didn't answer, but Lambert didn't need to press any more questions, and he said like a bean: "He hired the top doctor in Humoti, and the treatment plan he got was just a few antidepressant drugs. It’s all about rest and recuperation, ha! What a helpless and passive diagnosis and treatment, how can someone like Shen Cang, who tries to control everything, accept it?”
"It's just that he didn't accept it and he had no choice but to open up a circular boat in the open sea as a place for healing and recuperation," Lambert said, "I also found him by accident. When I first met me, even I even forgot who I was."
Hiji took a calm breath and asked, "When did that happen?"
Lambert thought for a while: "About three and a half years ago."
"So... you saw that his condition was getting worse, his memory was declining, his judgment was declining, and then he began to try to impersonate his identity?" Hiroshi asked in a cold tone.
Lambert nodded without hesitation: "That's right, I didn't think about it that much at first, it's just interesting to see him look so useless. He will wake up occasionally, but the time is getting shorter and shorter, and I'm getting better and better. Hair is nothing to worry about."
"But in the winter three years ago, he woke up suddenly, seemed to understand what had happened, and even sneaked back to the Eclipse while I was not paying attention," Lambert said, "but after returning to the Eclipse, he went back to the Eclipse again. Immediately realizing that it had been completely infiltrated by Rot, the two of them said something, and then a big conflict broke out."
Hisuji sat up straight, realizing that he might be about to get to the point.
Lambert went on to say: "At that time they were standing on the tower terrace of the Eclipse, Shen Cang probably wanted to inform you, and Rot rushed up to grab his communicator, and the two of them entangled and shoved Shen Cang accidentally fell to the ground. Stepped out of the guardrail and fell into the sea."
"Accidentally fell out?" Hiroshi raised his voice and asked in disbelief, "There is still a flower bed under the terrace, how could it be possible to fall directly into the sea?"
"You can tell by looking at the surveillance. They were at the edge of the viewing platform extending outside the tower." Lambert said, "Believe me, if he hadn't disappeared into the vast sea, I would have extracted all of his biometric pattern, to unlock his part of the asset authority, will you still have a chance to come back?"
Hiji was silent for a while again, and didn't ask any more questions about this point—it would be clear when the surveillance was locked, and he said: "You haven't answered my initial question, you disappeared for so many years, why did you take action until now?" Help Rot, it won't be... You only found out that Dawn is your son's a few years ago, right?"
"Of course not," Lambert smiled self-deprecatingly, "You're right, according to my previous temperament, any family property and any rights are extremely boring, why do some people have to ask for trouble Putting so many shackles on yourself? However, I don’t care about these things, but there are always others who care, Rotor cares, and Luciana cares too.”
Hiji frowned: "Lukiana? What does all this have to do with my mother?"
Lambert paused for a moment, then said vaguely: "I knew her first, but she chose Shen Cang."
With just a few words, Hiroshi already understood—this was something he had never heard of before, so he was unavoidably surprised, but he quickly grasped the weird point: "Do you think she chose my father because of this, Because he is the ruler of the Leonis family? Even if it’s fine, she’s been dead for so many years, what’s the point of doing this?”
"Who knows?" Lambert said. "As I said, I don't really have much ambition. I just cooperated with Roth's plan from the beginning to the end. She is really a smart woman. From the beginning , she came to me because of this."
"In the beginning?" Hiraji asked sarcastically, "Do you mean the time when you first got together?"
"Again, I knew her before God," Lambert said, "and I knew exactly who she was, a shrewd opportunist with a purpose and a clear idea of what she wanted, which was good. She wanted to climb onto the tall branch of Leonis's house, but she couldn't get around Luciana, so she came to me."
Hiji continued his words: "It just so happens that you wanted your mother to leave Shen Cang a long time ago, although you are a coward and dare not fight like a man, you can only be humble and secretly jealous and speculate, but you have indeed held a grudge for many years. If other women are willing to stand up for themselves, it's nice to be seen as a loophole."
Anna Gogol's words suddenly sounded in his mind—being used means that there is value in being used. Does Lambert think the same way?
Lambert listened to his vicious and harsh words with a gloomy expression, and did not refute, but whispered: "It's just mutual use."
"Mutual to each other?" Hiroshi asked back, "Roth used you to climb to the top of the Eclipse, used you to save Fan Xilianen who was in decline, used you to make his son the second in line heir, and used you to entrap you. Your brother, your own nephew, and the woman you loved. At the end of the day, you sit in front of me with a hole in your hand, blood all over your head, and nothing."
Lambert didn't answer, and was silent for a while before saying: "Lukia didn't kill her, she was not in good health..."
"Rot told you?" Hijiru interrupted him, "Did you believe it?"
Lambert was silent again for a while, and said stubbornly: "No, Lucia has been in poor health since before, she often gets sick, you know..."
Hiji raised his hand to interrupt him again: "She was not in good health, and passed away conveniently at the moment when Fan Xiulian was about to declare bankruptcy. It just so happened that Rotor was ready to move into Leonis right away. In a few days, I packed up my things and moved into the Eclipse with Dorn, how could you be my uncle, my father's brother? You are [-] times stupider than I imagined." Hiroshi said coldly, "But this is no longer your concern, you incompetent, cowardly and stupid scum."
