Struggle in Russia

When Baron Kerimov set off to Izmail to rescue soldiers, Bucharest, thousands of miles away, became more and more uproarious. These days, surrounding the assassination of Sir Thomas Edwards, the multinational joint investigation team is arguing. It can't be handed over, especially Cohon and Perrier are almost at each other's throats, and neither of them accepts the other.

"How can you see that your conclusion is correct, and how can you prove it without evidence?"

Ke Hong retorted in a muffled voice: "This is obvious, no evidence is needed at all! What evidence is needed for a well-known thing!"

But Perrier didn't buy it, and still insisted: "Everyone knows? Why don't I know? If you want to get true and credible conclusions, all investigations must be well-documented, and any conclusions without evidence cannot appear in the In the investigation report, this is the most basic common sense!"

He also sarcastically said to Ke Hong: "Don't you even have this basic common sense?"

Kohon's nose is going to be crooked, because these days the investigation team has been focusing on trivial matters and unimportant details. Every detail wastes a lot of saliva and time. Anyway, these days, Tom The assassination of Sir Edwards is still going in circles without any progress, and there are even suspicions of backing up.

This made Cojon hate the French even more. He felt that the French were here to be shit-stirring sticks. The French would oppose every proposal he made, and every conclusion he made would be torn apart by the French. In addition to repeated inspections, any slightest flaws will be repeatedly attacked by the French.

All in all, Kehong felt exhausted physically and mentally, and regretted being the leader of the investigation team more and more. Because the team leader is responsible for organizing meetings and maintaining order, anyway, there are too many chores and cumbersome tasks. And the team members only need to find faults in the eggs and it's over.

If he had given up the position of team leader to a Turk or a Wallachian, why would he be so troubled now.

It's a pity that it's useless even if Kehong regrets it, and he must finish his appointment with tears in his eyes. Even if he wanted to regret and quit, he couldn't bear that face.

The only thing Kojon can do is to mobilize his subordinates to sniff around like dogs to find clues. Only when they find favorable clues and evidence can they slap the French in the face and put the investigation on track.

So is the evidence easy to find?

Objectively speaking, it is very hard to find. Because the assassination that day was an accident, Alexei's target was not Sir Thomas Edwards in the first place, so naturally there would be no evidence against this Sir.

If you scout in this direction, you will really fall into the pit and cannot climb out. Anyway, at the beginning, Ke Hong fell in and fell badly.

It didn't make any sense until I was exhausted.

He admitted in his report to his boss Palmerston: "According to this paragraph of reconnaissance, I have to admit helplessly that I have no clue. There is no clue to prove that this assassination was a long-planned operation. There is no trace left, and there is no trace at all!"

"This can't help but make me start to wonder. Could it be that we were going in the wrong direction from the beginning, otherwise how could it be seamless? I feel that there is a problem here. Could it be that this assassination was an accident?"

Cohorn finally began to notice something was wrong. He began to suspect that the death of Sir Thomas Edwards might have been an accident, whether the assassin had killed the wrong person. Because there is indeed such a possibility, because there were rich and powerful people in Bucharest gathered in the city hall at that time, these people may be the target of the assassin, and it is not even ruled out that the target of the assassin is the French, after all, the French have offended a lot before Wallachia rich man.

But what makes Kehong depressed is that there are too many possible targets on the scene, dozens of people may be targets, and even the most prominent part of them has a dozen or so. The people on hand are not enough to check these people one by one, the workload is really too big. What's more, the matter has happened for a week, and a large amount of evidence has been eliminated by time, and it is impossible to find it.

If an ordinary person encounters this situation, he may have to give up, but Ke Hong is not an ordinary person, and he has never been interested in finding out the truth. The reason to investigate more is to blackmail the Wallachia provisional government into submission.

So Ke Hong immediately made an adjustment. He just needs to throw out the conclusion he wants to get. As for whether it is true or not, does it matter?

He immediately opened fire on the Wallachia Provisional Government: "From the investigations in the past few days, I can draw a conclusion that even if the Wallachia Provisional Republic government is not directly responsible, it is indirectly responsible! "

"After the incident, there was no active search for the assassins. All the arrests were just formalities and perfunctory. This made me wonder if the assassins had something to do with the government of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia? Is this the case? Some people in the government who are malicious to Britain led this assassination! Otherwise, how could their behavior be so casual and perfunctory!"

As the representative of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia participating in the joint investigation team, Nikola Ionescu immediately felt pain in his egg. In fact, he didn't want to participate in this investigation team. As long as he was not stupid, he would know that this was a sinkhole, and he would be blamed if he fell into it.

But both Jan Gika and Jan Constantine are more slippery than loaches. One excuse is to go to Turkey and run away, and the other says that he is the party involved in the incident and must avoid suspicion. As a result, this bad luck fell on his head. Who made him jump up and down and shouted to protect the legal rights of Wallachia, and he could not bow down to the British to meet their rude conditions.

The Revolutionary Committee felt that since you, Nicola Ionescu, are so powerful and awesome, then you should go for it! We all support you in spirit!

But Nicola Ionescu is really just a talker. He is a good hand when he sneers at others, but if he is asked to personally defend the national interests, he is really weak!

So when faced with the aggressive Kojon, Ionescu really didn't have any confidence, especially in the previous investigation, the police in Bucharest and the National Guard were too slack in tracking down the murderer, and their performance was really ugly. Naturally, he Speech is softer.

"Consul General Kehong, this... this... is definitely a misunderstanding," he faltered and faltered, and then looked left and right, hoping that Perrier next to him could help share the pressure, but Perrier temporarily Without expressing anything, he could only bite the bullet and continue: "The Wallachia provisional government attaches great importance to this, and there is absolutely no meaning of perfunctory! I'm sure it's definitely a misunderstanding!"
