British 1986

Chapter 449 Fanning the flames

Allen looked at Hughes thoughtfully.

People from the security department arrived so quickly, and it was Hughes who came. This could be used to advantage.

Now that he saw Hughes, if Allen didn't do something, he would feel a little sorry for him.

"Are you here to investigate the cause?"

Allen asked, pointing into the distance.

"Yes, Your Excellency. If something like this happens, we will definitely come."

"what's the result?"

Facing Allen's inquiry, Hughes had no precautions at all. Although noble masters are sometimes criticized in certain situations, and they rarely have real power and cannot interfere in politics, they still have their time.

Such as now.

Hughes's current location is Windsor Castle, which is the Queen's home, and the person in charge here is Boss Cha, and Allen is Boss Cha's captain of the guard!

Theoretically speaking, Allen can also take care of all security-related matters in this castle. Now that he asks about the investigation results, it is within Allen's scope of responsibility.

"Not yet, Your Excellency. The temperature in some places inside is too high. It's not convenient for us to go in now."

Hughes said with an embarrassed look. It's not like they are spoiled. The quality of this kind of stone castle must be no problem. But after such a big fire, the open flame was extinguished, but the floor was still hot, and the residual warmth was still there. ah!

They just came early, but they had to wait until the situation inside stabilized before they could go in to investigate.

Looking at Hughes, Allen frowned and said with a suspicious expression: "I read the news. The fire broke out at around five o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. However, the fire initially broke out in the Oak Hall and then spread to other rooms. We just asked that when the fire broke out, according to the guards, the workers inside did not issue a call for help or warning, which was a bit delayed. The perfect time to put out a fire.”

"Um?"

"No sound was made? What does that mean?"

Hughes relaxed his shoulders and said: "I also feel strange about this, but the guard said categorically that he was sure that there was a worker who put up wallpaper in the Oak Hall at the time. He had patrolled there just a few minutes ago and had a conversation with the worker. We said hello and chatted for a while. If there was a fire, there should be a reaction inside, and it shouldn’t be so calm."

"Oh? Is there anyone else in Oak Hall?"

"Sir, this is wallpapering. It is different from other decoration work. It has high requirements on the environment. The worker is also a master. He has this habit before and does not need help. Not only in the Oak Hall, but also in the There were no workers in several rooms in the Oak Hall at that time, and he was originally responsible for the wallpaper on this floor."

Allen looked at Hughes with a puzzled look, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Are you saying that the fire didn't increase suddenly, but that it was discovered after it started burning?"

"That's probably it. We don't know the specific situation very clearly. We have only had preliminary communication with the guards so far."

Allen pretended to be a little irritated and walked a few steps in place, then suddenly turned around and hooked his hand at Hughes, motioning for him to come closer.

After Hughes got closer, Allen lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you a situation. You can think about it yourself."

Seeing Allen's sudden solemnity, Hughes was a little confused.

But he must listen to what this Excellency said, after all, it is his duty.

"Say, Your Excellency."

"That's right. This afternoon, around four o'clock, I called His Highness. I cough."

Allen seemed to suddenly think of something. When he got to the key point, he coughed twice, then skipped the reason and continued to talk.

"Due to some personal reasons, I wanted to take a leave of absence for a few days. His Highness is here these days. As you know, we need some manpower. I have to take a leave of absence, so I called His Highness to apply."

Hughes nodded. It makes sense.

"When I first came here, His Highness said that after he hung up on me, he needed to go back to London for something. Then not long after His Highness left, there was a fire here."

After Allen finished speaking, he stared at Hughes with squinted eyes.

The rest is self-explanatory.

Just after Boss Cha left, there was a fire in the castle. What if Boss Cha is okay temporarily?

Will he never leave?

What would be the consequences if he didn't leave?

Thinking of this, Hughes suddenly felt his scalp numb and the tendons on his back began to twitch.

This information is so critical and so scary!

He thought it was an accident, but he didn't expect there to be such a secret. Is this a coincidence or intentional?

if

He didn't know the situation and rashly went in to investigate. If he couldn't find anything, forget it. What if he found something?

Once you get involved in this kind of thing.

Sometimes it’s not credit!

According to the information provided by Mr. Allen, Hughes thought over it in his mind. If it was done by a foreign force, then it would be easy to say. What if it was not a foreign force?

What if someone from within did it?

Who could it be?

How to check?

What should I do if I find out?

This is not a time when ordinary people commit crimes and require various investigations. What if other people they can't afford to offend are involved?

The risk of investigating this is quite high. It doesn't matter whether he loses his position or not. It would be bad if his life is involved. He still has a wife and children to support. How many years can he live a good life? ?

Thinking of this, Hughes thought of the past. It was because he got to know the Excellency in front of him and brought wealth to himself and their department through him that he got a promotion and a salary increase.

Over the years, during festivals and festivals, Hughes would either come personally or ask someone to send gifts and greetings to this Excellency. Although he had never seen him in person, in Hughes' opinion, the relationship was maintained well. , otherwise this Excellency would not have called him to stop him.

Thinking of this, Hughes felt grateful to Allen.

If he hadn't known this noble man, how would he have known such secret information?

Should he be asked to ask Boss Cha?

Boss Cha won't even pay attention to him.

Now that he has learned such news in advance, regardless of whether it is true or not, Hughes is prepared to protect himself wisely. For safety reasons, he is not going to get involved in these matters. When the time is right, he will find an excuse to hand over the matter here. to others.

Is it better for a dead Taoist friend than a poor Taoist?

"You can't see this news for yourself. Most of this is my one-sided statement. I think you should already have some opinions."

"Thank you for informing me, I will consider it carefully."

Hughes thanked him softly.

"Then Your Excellency"

"Okay, I just arrived and don't know much about the rest. Let me know if you find anything new."

"Okay, sir, I'll go over first."

Hughes took a step back, bowed respectfully to Allen, and then left.

Allen narrowed his eyes and watched Hughes leave. This move was considered a smooth move by him.

There are some things that will leave traces as long as they are done, even if the boss Cha personally handles them, there will be traces.

Allen doesn't know much about what Boss Cha does, so this doesn't stop him from coming up with something first.

What if he took the initiative to expose this information in a specious way?

Anyway, Allen really made the call, he even had a booked flight, and Boss Cha really wanted to go back to London "temporarily". These are all true!

It's just that I don't know what it will be regarded as by people who don't know the inside story. Anyway, as long as it involves the internal affairs of the royal family, it is very difficult.

The fake news he just provided to Hughes will be made public soon. As long as Hughes lets it slip a little and his familiar colleagues know about it, once they know this "inside story", they will handle this case. When something goes wrong, the subconscious mind will be led astray, or the matter will be hastily, and not everyone is willing to intervene in some matters.

It would be best to turn it into a mystery when the time comes.

Failure to solve the mystery will also have an impact on them.

As for the rest.

Allen stared at the castle that was still smoking in the distance, but the fire was out and smiled.

The place where the fire broke out this time, for various reasons, happened to be contained in the rooms where the Queen and her family lived, no more, no less!

This would be more convenient for his next plan.

Sometimes, a fire may be just an ordinary accident in some places, but if it happens in a special place and is associated with special people, it can produce some very special sounds.

for example

This time only the Queen's house caught fire. Does that mean something special?

What would be the effect if Allen secretly spread the rumor that God was disappointed with the queen and caused the fire?

What would a group of people who believe in God think when they see this kind of news?

In Great Britain.

Who gave the royal family rights?

people?

No!

It was given by God!

The rights and status of the King of England are given by God, and the rights of the nobles are given by the King of England. The whole process has nothing to do with ordinary people!

However, the situation in Great Britain has indeed been quite bad in recent years. In such an atmosphere, if rumors are first spread that the fire was caused by the Queen's poor performance, the effect will be...

It’s exciting to think about.

Allen didn't know if anyone had done something like this before, but now he was ready to give it a try!

If there is a lot of pressure from outside public opinion by then, haha. Then it will be time for him to appear.

As Boss Cha's number one loyal henchman, Allen has prepared a series of follow-up plans for this.

include

Sin yourself edict!

This thing is a kind of edict or oral instruction issued by ancient emperors when they were introspecting themselves or reviewing their own mistakes.

But now, this trick is useful.

If the Queen wants to calm such public opinion, she has to say something.

Although Allen didn't know whether she would use Sin Ji Zhao, this did not affect him from recommending this method to Boss Cha!

The Queen's reputation has long been fulfilled. After so many years in office, everyone in the Commonwealth recognizes her as Queen.

In this case, if she uses the trick of sinner edict, it means that the queen has a stain on her body. Allen doesn't know whether her reputation will be high, but the blow will definitely be there!

The nature of a lofty queen is completely different from that of a tainted queen.

If the queen doesn't use this move, then Allen can turn around and give Boss Cha an idea to use this move.

And if it were Boss Cha who used this trick, the effect would be different from when the queen used it herself.

Because Boss Cha was under the pressure of the queen, his prestige was only that small. Even in the past few years, the media had been observing him with a magnifying glass, and his reputation was still a little bit behind.

If this accident happened, Boss Zha could take the initiative to issue a self-indictment and sincerely take all the responsibility on himself to play self-destruction. In fact, it would win the approval of many people, and the Queen would probably also be against Boss Zha's behavior. The way is very gratifying.

In this way, Allen still has follow-up tricks. Since Boss Cha is so responsible, can the queen have another voice since she is not in good health?

As long as such rumors slowly spread, what will the Queen think then?

Regardless of whether this was done by Boss Zha on his own initiative, or someone else deliberately caused Boss Zha to do it, it would create a gap between mother and son.

This is enough!

Allen may have been a little sloppy in the early stages of the entire plan, but he was very confident in the later plans.

It not only hurt the Queen, but also praised Boss Cha. Although he praised Boss Cha, the Queen still had a problem with him. Over and over again, they both gained and lost.

In this way, it seems that the effort is in vain and the matter has just passed, but will the person involved feel so?

Anyway, if Boss Cha tastes the sweetness this time, will he trust Allen more in the future? If there is something more important, will he also talk to Allen?

It has been several years since he inherited the title, and Allen is a little tired of his current life. He wants to get in touch with higher-level information. He wants to check that the boss does not treat him as a junior, but as a real confidant who can give advice on all aspects. , rather than simply being limited to these trivial matters.

Allen wants to trick Boss Cha into doing something big in the future, speeding up the process!

At ten o'clock in the evening, in a temporary tent set up on the lawn of the castle.

Boss Cha sat melancholy on the sofa, with an ashtray beside him. He didn't care to smoke a cigar anymore. He was so bored that he started to smoke.

Allen sat cross-legged not far from Boss Cha, looking at Boss Cha boredly.

"The bodies of the victims have been found. Where did you find the worker stuck to the wall?"

Shaking the information in his hand, he saw that there were only two of them in the tent, and there were guards outside. It was relatively safe to talk here, and Boss Cha didn't mince words and asked directly.

"Your Highness, these are the old people in the family who used to be loyal. Don't worry."

"Huh! Of course I'm relieved."

Boss Cha was a little shocked when he looked at the information in his hand. The preliminary investigation results of the room where the fire occurred have come out. According to the information, the fire was caused by the wallpaper worker knocking over the wine on the wine cabinet.

As for why he didn't cry out after causing the fire, that's also explained above.

When the deceased was found, judging from the position, the worker should have been hit by the wine cabinet. He might have been knocked unconscious at the time and had no chance to cry out. The forensic doctor confirmed that the person was indeed burned to death. The deceased had been burned to death during his lifetime. There were signs of a slight struggle, but the weight on his body was probably too heavy for him to break free.

This investigation result seems normal, but Boss Cha, who knows the inside story from beginning to end, is very envious.

What he envied was nothing else, but the person Allen found to perform the mission!

He has never met this person, but he can do the task so "beautifully" and even exceed expectations. This is not easy.
