Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide
Chapter 113 Evidence
Minister Ganasde is still in a meeting at the moment.
Hull, Gilder and two secretaries came to the door of the conference room and waited.
Coincidentally, Gozel, the middle-level financial officer, was also standing at the door, waiting anxiously.
The weather was hot, and he was fat, so he was sweating profusely just by standing.
"Why did you come here..."
Gozel looked at Hull, but before he could say anything, the door to the conference room opened and Minister Ganasde walked out.
Ganasde was an old man with white hair and an extremely stern look. Hull also noticed that he was missing the ring finger and little finger on his left hand, and the thumb on his right hand.
There were scars on his neck and exposed forearms, as if he had been in a very brutal battle.
There is a sense of iron and blood of a veteran on the battlefield.
Minister Ganasde had appeared, and Gozil rushed forward with a red face.
"Minister Ganasde! You've been working hard! I'm here to talk to you... I have something to ask..."
"Wait a moment. I received an urgent call from Senior Political Officer Gilder, saying that he has something very important to communicate with me."
Minister Ganasde waved his hand to push away Gozel who was blocking his way.
“Ah…ah…that…! But, my situation is also very urgent!”
Minister Ganasde glanced at him impatiently: "If it's a very urgent matter, why don't you learn from Gilder and ask the secretary to pass me a note or two?"
"That's because I don't want to interrupt your meeting..."
"Humph, if that's the case, then the proof isn't an urgent matter, right? Wait a moment, we'll talk about it later!"
Gozil's face turned pale and he had to give up.
Just as Minister Ganasde ordered Gozel to leave, Hull's direct superior, Gilder, smiled gently and walked up.
"Minister Ganasde, you have worked hard. Actually, what I want to talk to you about this time is also related to the Ministry of Resources. If possible, please allow Gozel to listen as a party involved."
"...Hmph, alright."
"Thank you very much..." Gilder bowed slightly and then made way for him. "This is the middle-level government official Hel Heim. Let him explain the details to you."
Minister Ganasde looked Hel up and down and said, "So, you are Hel Helm..."
The old man had a stern face and seemed to be stern towards everyone.
"Have you heard about him?" asked Gilder, with an expression of great interest.
"Well, I heard that he used his personal property to help the people, right?"
"Yes, does this make you feel unhappy?"
"Humph, I have no interest in how others deal with their property. This is a personal behavior. What does it have to do with me?"
Gilder nodded. "...I see. However, I heard that Gozil next to you said that you seemed a little angry about this matter. The Resources Department has also received a complaint. Did you know that?"
Heer caught a glimpse of Gozil from the corner of his eye, his mouth open and his face pale.
Ganasde's gaze also focused on him.
"When was the complaint received? How come I didn't know about it, Gozil? What's going on?"
"I...I just heard about it too. I don't know what this is all about!" Gozel shook his head and denied it vehemently.
"So, what about my complaint?" Hull asked.
“I don’t remember receiving any complaints!”
Seeing that Gozil still denied it, Heer turned to look at the secretary behind him: "Emond, where is the notification document?"
Secretary Edmond took the document out of his arms.
Minister Ganasde took the notification document in his hand and read it carefully.
"Well...it has the seal of the Ministry of Resources and the signature of Gozel himself. How do you explain this?" Minister Ganasde frowned.
Gozel took the document and took a look at it. "I really don't know about this matter. Maybe... someone imitated my handwriting! Someone is doing something in secret! It's definitely true!"
Gozil's face turned paler and paler, and he began to shout loudly.
"Emond, take this document to the forensics department to confirm the handwriting."
"I understand." Secretary Edmond stepped forward and tried to retrieve the notification document.
"Ah... Hey... Ah..." Gozel immediately hid the documents behind him and kept dodging, unwilling to return the documents.
Hull looked at Gozel, who was obviously panicked. He was sure that this guy was the one behind this.
"Mr. Gozil, no matter what, this matter needs to be clarified. If it is not a document signed by you, please explain it clearly in front of Minister Ganasde."
"This... this is someone else's handwriting pretending to be mine! Someone wants to frame me!"
Gozil was still in denial.
"...You also gave a verbal notice to Edmond, the secretary in my office, right?"
"no!"
"You are lying. You sent a secretary to call me to your office this morning and gave me this notice in person. You also told me about the complaint!"
The moment Gozel refused to admit it, Edmund immediately stood up and told the truth.
But Gozil shouted louder than Edmund: "Shut up! I said no, then no! It's not your place as a secretary to say anything! Don't be so arrogant!"
"..."
When Edmond lowered his head in annoyance, Hull asked calmly: "So, Mr. Gozil, you didn't send any notice?"
"No! I just found out about the complaint now! This is also the first time I've seen this fake notice! Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?!"
Gozil further emphasized.
Gozel's refusal to admit his mistake made Heer feel a little uncomfortable.
After thinking for a while, Hull asked, "Mr. Goetzl, where is your secretary? Why didn't he come with you? You can ask them about this notice in detail."
"them..."
Gozil's voice suddenly became quieter.
"They have other work to do..."
"So, where are they now? Your office?"
"What qualifications do you have to ask me? Why should I answer your questions?"
As Gozel's face flushed and he roared, Minister Ganasde stood before him like a mountain.
"What about me? Am I qualified?"
"That... that... of course..."
Gozil's voice gradually lost its confidence, becoming so low that it was almost inaudible.
"Gozel, where is your secretary now?"
"They...should be in the office now...? I'm not sure..."
"What?!" Minister Ganasde suddenly raised his voice, and Gozel shrank his neck in fear.
"You mean to say that you don't even know where your secretary is right now?!"
"That...that..."
Hull smiled and turned to give instructions to his secretary.
"...Emond, go and bring Gozel's secretaries here now. I remember there are three secretaries in his office."
"Yes Yes!"
"Minister Ganasde, I'm very sorry, could you please come with us? I want to find something in Mr. Gozil's room, which should be able to clarify this matter."
"this...."
Just as Gozel was about to say something, Minister Ganasde glared at him, and he immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
Minister Ganasde crossed his arms and looked at Hull with a frown: "Okay, but you are prepared to search the room of a mid-level political official, right? If you can't find anything, this matter will be difficult to handle..."
"Of course, I am confident that I can find the truth..."
Soon, the group arrived at the door of Gozl's room.
Even under the pressure from Minister Ganasde, Gozil insisted that his keys were lost this morning.
The procrastination lasted at least ten minutes.
Minister Ganasde was also growing impatient.
At this moment, Edmund also brought all of Gozel's secretaries in, panting.
Behind them were three junior political officials from Hull's office.
"I thought we might need more manpower to search for evidence, so I brought it along."
"You're quite clever!" After saying that, Hull looked at the three secretaries and said, "So, who among you has the key to Mr. Gozelle's room?"
The three men looked at each other, then at Gozel and did not dare to answer.
Minister Ganasde coughed lightly: "Why? Are you involved too?"
The three of them shook their heads desperately: "No, no, no! We know nothing!"
One of them quickly took out a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket and raised his right hand: "I have here--"
Before he could finish his words, Gozel rushed over to him: "You bastard! Don't--"
Hull grabbed the silver earring on his left ear and said, "Mr. Intermediate Financial Officer...what do you want to do?"
There was a strange smile on Hull's face, but his eyes were extremely cold. That was the look of an iron-blooded soldier who had seen the cruelty of the battlefield.
"Gozel! Do you want to discredit the Ministry of Resources?! - Back off!" Minister Ganasde roared, and Gozel lowered his head as if struck by lightning.
"I order you, with the authority of the Minister of Resources, to open the door to Gozel's room. No one is allowed to stop me!"
Under the order of Minister Ganasde, the secretary tremblingly took the key and opened Gozel's door.
After opening the door, Hull did not go in immediately, but just stood at the door motionless.
"What's wrong?" Minister Ganasde was a little confused.
"Minister Ganasde, please help us search the room of Treasurer Gozil."
"Hmph... Are you going to ask me to search my subordinates' rooms?" Minister Ganasde narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Hull.
Hull nodded.
Minister Ganasde quickly understood Hull's intention.
If no evidence was found, the mere forced search of a mid-level financial officer's private room would be enough to get Hull in trouble.
But what if something is found?
The Ministry of Political Affairs brought people to find evidence of a crime from the room of an official from the Ministry of Resources. This is a scandal for the entire Ministry of Resources.
Minister Ganasde must also be held accountable.
But if Minister Ganasde took the lead in finding out the evidence, the reputation of the Ministry of Resources and Ganasde himself would be saved.
Hull was thinking about Minister Ganasde.
Although Hull's request was rude, Minister Ganasde was ready to say nothing. "——Gozel, come here!"
"Ah good……"
Minister Ganasde grabbed Gozil and forced him into the room.
Then Hull and the others followed Minister Ganasde into Gozil's room.
After searching for a few minutes, everyone found nothing.
However, Hull noticed that Gozel, who was sweating profusely, was always secretly looking in one direction.
Hel pointed in the direction Gozil was peeking.
"Emond, go look through that bookcase."
"Ah...you!" As soon as these words came out, Gozel showed a surprised expression with his jaw dropping.
Heer looked at Ganasde and Gilder again: "In order to prevent this Gozil from accusing us of framing him, please be responsible for monitoring our every move."
"Hmph... You've thought it through very thoroughly. Why are you so sure you can find something? Well, I want to see what you can find out!"
Ganasde showed a serious expression, and Gilder couldn't help laughing.
After Hull finished speaking, he turned and walked in another direction. He and Edmund started searching separately.
A few minutes later, Edmund made an excited sound.
"Found it! I found the draft of the notice and complaint letter from the waste paper in here!"
Edmond handed the abandoned draft to Ganasde.
The serious minister frowned and stared at Gozel with a look of disappointment.
"Hmph... Finance Officer Gozel, you actually used my name to put pressure on colleagues in other departments. You're really capable... Hey, are you listening!?"
Gozil, of course, wasn't listening.
He was staring at Hull at this moment, watching Hull walk to the desk and quickly search the bookshelf where the files were placed with his hands.
His expression instantly turned purple with fear.
"Quick...stop it!"
Hull naturally ignored his shouting, but calmly and quickly sifted through the documents, then laid them out side by side on the desk.
Gozil ran over and grabbed Hel's shoulders.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop! These documents have nothing to do with you! Your secretary has already found evidence! I admit that it was my fault, and I was the one who asked someone to file the complaint! What else do you want to do?!"
"..."
"It's all my fault. I will withdraw your complaint immediately, right now! I can compensate you personally! How much do you want?! I can give you whatever you want!"
"..."
Hull didn't even look up at him, just kept sifting through the documents, putting them on the table one by one.
"Please...please please...please...please"
Gozel's overly panicked state stunned Ganasde and Gilder.
Despite this, Hull still ignored him and just calmly sifted through the documents.
"Come and stop him...this guy is crazy!" Gozel began to look for help in the direction of Minister Ganasde and others.
Minister Ganasde walked up to Hull and said, "Haven't you found everything you wanted? What are you looking for now?"
At this moment, Hull finally found the evidence he really wanted. He smiled and selected the documents and handed them to Minister Ganasde.
“Ah… stop it!”
Gozel tried to grab the document like crazy, but Minister Ganasde raised his hand and knocked him down with an elbow.
After seeing the contents of the document clearly, even Minister Ganasde began to waver.
"...Helheim, this... this could be..."
Hull smiled harmlessly and nodded towards Minister Ganasde.
"Yes, this is evidence that Gozel secretly participated in the slave trade..."
