Colonel, is it really fragrant today?

Osborn's treason had a huge impact. The admiral of the empire tried to defect but failed and disappeared. All the relevant personnel were arrested. Audrey was directly taken away for investigation. Only Dane was not held accountable for reporting meritorious service.The general's rebellion must have involved more than one family. The marshal was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The upper echelon of the military was panicked for a while. During the few days when Dane was resting in the main house of the Fitzgerald family, he hardly saw him except the first day. Heinrich.

Dane returned to the front line after the time for leave. Heinrich did not see him off because of the military affairs before he left. Dane was somewhat disappointed, and the relationship between the two had not been formally discussed. The deal between him and Heinrich back then has ended, and now there is no relationship between him and Heinrich through adoption and trading, what remains are two independent individuals, and he can finally stand in the sea as an equal. In front of Heinrich, Dane was not sure whether he was just one of Heinrich's many lovers or the unique one.

However, this problem didn't bother Dane for long. The moment Dane arrived at the frontline base, he was surrounded and detained. Dane didn't even see Lieutenant General Manny, so he didn't know why he was arrested. He was arrested, and the person who was ordered to arrest him had an official document personally approved by the marshal. Dane gave up his resistance after confirming that there was no possibility of fraud.

The person detaining him stayed at the frontline base for two hours before bringing them back to the main planet. Dane almost rolled his eyes in front of everyone. If he wanted to arrest him, why didn't he arrest him before he returned to the frontline? A trip is a waste of time and energy.

Dane didn't come to answer the questions in his head, and the group of people who escorted him kept tight-lipped and refused to communicate. Seeing that there was really nothing to ask, Dane simply didn't ask any questions. He probably guessed that it should be with Osborne It is related to treason. He was born as the youngest son of Osborne. Since he did not stay in the Borghez family for a long time, he will also be included in the list of suspects. There is only one thing that Dane still can't figure out. Now, since the Marshal had definitely ruled him out of suspicion before, why did he suddenly want to arrest him and go back for interrogation? What new evidence did he find?

After returning to the main planet, Dane was escorted to the Imperial Prison. I don’t know what kind of charges he was given. In short, he was held in solitary confinement. It was not until this point that Dane realized that something was wrong. If it was because of Osborn He should not be in an imperial prison for treason, but go straight to the investigation.

No one interrogated him on the first day of detention, which further confirmed Dane's conjecture, and all the electronic devices on his body were touched, and there was no way to contact outsiders. The imperial prison was closely guarded, and there was no chance of escape. Almost zero, but Dane didn't think about escaping from prison, at least he had to figure out his charges before making any further plans.

Early the next morning, Dane saw Theodore in the prison. Theodore came in a hurry, and his expression was a bit wrong. After he showed his identity as a visitor, he was let in by the guards. Behaviors alone are not allowed, but Theodore Marshal's status as an executive officer is somewhat useful, and the guards are accommodating after thinking about it, and incidentally shut down the surveillance in the prison for the two of them.

Theodore didn't give Dane a chance to speak, he came up and asked directly: "Tell me why you killed Osborne, even if you hate him, you shouldn't be so stupid as to do it yourself at this juncture, the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy has already been charged on him. The evidence cannot be washed away, and directly handing it over to the empire will also lead to a fatal end, why do you want to do anything extra?"

"What do you mean by asking me why I killed Osborn?" Dane never expected Theodore to ask him about Osborn's killing. Except for him and Heinley Xi should not have a third person to know.

Theodore was still waiting for an explanation from Dane, and wanted to ask his friend if he was suddenly dazzled by hatred, but now that Dane asked him this question, Theodore became uncertain again and thought of another possibility : "Didn't you kill Osborne?"

Dane didn't answer Theodore, he had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter before he could explain: "Why did you know about this, or did you say that Osborne's body was found?"

Theodore sighed: "This is what I want to ask you too. Lieutenant General Fitzgerald found Osborne's body in the dungeon of the main house of the Borges family. Osborne was shot and killed. The bullet marks have been compared and the shell casings have been compared and it has been confirmed that they were fired from your gun. The lieutenant general asked the marshal to detain you immediately. The marshal originally wanted to thoroughly investigate Osborne's accomplices, but now something happened to you. Those high-level officials immediately shirked their responsibilities, if it wasn't for the marshal's executive officer, I wouldn't know about it, Dane, what's going on?"

Dane thought that the relationship between him and Heinrich had taken a step forward after that day, but he never expected that what he was waiting for was not sincerity, but a betrayal.

That day Heinrich left Osborn to him as agreed at the beginning, and then he shot Osborn with his hands. After Osborn was shot and died, he did not think of dealing with the aftermath, but completely trusted him. He handed everything over to Heinrich to handle. Now it seems that these trusts are too ridiculous. Everything that seems to be taken for granted was prepared by Heinrich long ago. He was defenseless. planted in.

Dane closed his eyes, and then told Theodore everything that happened that day.

"I never thought Fitzgerald would kill you." Theodore's expression was shocked. In his eyes, Dane had always been the one protected by Heinrich, even though Dane returned to Bo In the Erhez family, Theodore still felt that Heinrich's attitude towards Dane was different. In his eyes, Heinrich always existed as Dane's protector.

Dane's mood swings are no less than Theodore's, but now is not the time for resentment, he has to find a way to save himself, Dane forced himself to calm down, and said to Theodore: "I want to know why, Heinrich asked the Marshal The purpose of submitting these evidences is by no means simply to put me to death, he is using me to achieve a matter, and this matter should be related to the Spencer family, or to be more precise, related to the marshal."

Theodore nodded, Dane was right, this incident was too weird, Heinrich must have other purposes, "I see, I will investigate along this line, you can stay here with peace of mind , I’ll save you when I think of a way.”

Two days after Theodore left, Dane had been thinking about Heinrich's purpose, but he never figured it out, but there were very few things that Heinrich could care about, and he was involved with the marshal. More than [-]% may be related to the death of the old General Fitzgerald.

Theodore's movements were not slow, but it wasn't him who came this time but Vivian: "Theodore can't come to see you now, so he asked me to come here."

Dane asked, "Did he find out?"

Vivian said: "Your guess is right. Heinrich is indeed asking for something from the marshal, but Theodore doesn't know what it is. But he asked me to remind you to prepare early. If Heinrich If the negotiation with the marshal is not going well, then you are likely to go to a military court."

Dane was not too surprised to go to court-martial, and asked casually, "Because you killed Osborne?"

Vivienne shook her head and said: "It's not just this, Theodore said that Heinrich submitted a report to the marshal that you deliberately left Andrew and Corey behind in the rescue operation and the evidence supporting this report, so you There may be multiple charges to face."

Dane said flatly: "He has no evidence."

"Even if it's fake, as long as Heinrich insists on investigating, you will still be unable to escape this accusation." Vivian's face was expressionless, but there was a trace of anxiety in her tone: "I knew it would be like this, but I shouldn't have indulged you in the past. Heinrich's feelings, people like Heinrich will not be influenced at all, and you are just a pawn of his from the beginning to the end."

"But who will know what the ending will be if you don't try it." Dane smiled easily, patted Vivienne's tense shoulders and comforted him: "You don't have to worry about me, and tell Theodore not to go any further. Check it out, I'll be fine."

Vivienne frowned, looked at Dane in disbelief, and asked, "Don't you still choose to believe him when something like this happens? Don't forget why you are here. Whose gift is this? Even if you want to repay his kindness for adopting you, isn't one Borghez family enough, is it possible that you have to take care of your own future?"

Looking at Vivienne, who was clearly out of control, Dane tried his best to calm her down, and said: "I don't believe in Heinrich, I just believe in Theodore's investigation and my own judgment, I will be fine I won’t go to court-martial either, if there are no accidents, I will be acquitted in three days at most, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

"Why are you so sure." Vivian still frowned.

"Because I know Heinrich." Dane said, Heinrich would never put himself in a game of peers, he would only be the one who controls the whole chess game. This time, Dane is just Played a role that was traded, although Dane didn't know why he was able to have such a big weight enough for Heinrich to trade him with the marshal, but in the end Heinrich would definitely get what he wanted, and he as a Those who are traded will naturally not be imprisoned again.

Vivienne didn't quite believe Dane's words, but she and Theodore can't do much at the moment. She also had the idea of ​​asking Lieutenant Colonel Zole for help in the past, but Theodore was worried about the marshal. Zole knew it would make things more complicated, so she gave up.

Before leaving, Vivian asked more: "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Dane smiled: "That's enough."
