Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1650 If it was Cruze...

The next day, a piece of news shocked Free. The respected Chief Justice, Dania Gede, was assassinated in his own home. At the same time as the news came out, it was also reported that it was the Chief Justice Orlando Ziyun who was behind it.

For a moment, all the awake people of Free felt that the world had collapsed. Both the Chief Guardian and the Chief Sergeant had a high status in the hearts of the people. One was the Chief Guardian second only to the king, and the other was the Chief Sergeant who dedicated his whole life to Free. Now one is dead and the other is guilty of a serious crime. How can people accept this?

Not only were the people in an uproar, but the civil service group was also getting agitated. They had always followed the lead of the Chief Justice and performed their respective duties with all their heart and soul. However, now that the Chief Justice had been assassinated, they would definitely be furious.

However, the civil servants were not a bunch of good-for-nothings. They all had brains. After hearing the news, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

Although the civil service group did not have much contact with Orlando Ziyun and did not know this chief forbidden officer, they often heard Dania Ged talk about Orlando Ziyun to them, mostly with words of praise and admiration, and Dania Ged also admitted that he had a good personal relationship with Orlando Ziyun.

Another very important point is that Dania Gad was assassinated just after the news came out that the murderer was Orlando Ziyun. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? What's the difference between this and the murderer running to the street immediately after killing someone and asking everyone to follow his example?
Therefore, the civil officials went to the palace at the same time, not to beg Shanamiya to execute Orlando Ziyun, but to confront Orlando Ziyun face to face and beg Shanamiya to investigate the matter thoroughly and catch the real murderer.

In this regard, Shanamia also promised that she would investigate the matter thoroughly and give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

At the same time, because of the rumors, Orlando Ziyun must be arrested and investigated first, otherwise the people who cannot see the truth of the matter will not accept it.

"How clumsy." Cruze certainly knew about this, or rather... this was what he had arranged.

"What do you mean?" If an outsider saw this, he would probably be scared to death. The sergeant Dania Gede, who had just been assassinated and even confirmed dead, was sitting opposite Cruze intact.

That's right, Cruze's plan was to follow Granton's plan. Of course, it was impossible for him to really kill Dania Ged. From the executor to the person involved, they were all Cruze's people, so it was natural that they could make it seamless.

"Glendon was too anxious. The time interval between the two rumors was too short. Not to mention the wise men, even ordinary people who spend more time on the Internet can sense that something is wrong."

"This……"

"But, Lord Dania, I'm sure you've seen the attitude of the people of Free."

"Yes... yes." Daniaged was ashamed. There was indeed a big loophole in this matter. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would find something wrong.

But... listen to the voices outside? The people of Free are calling for the capture of Orlando Ziyun and the execution of him.

Doesn't this just show... the stupidity of the Free people?
"This is the disadvantage of being closed all the time, Lord Dania." "I... I'm taught you a lesson, Mr. Cruze." Dania Ged certainly knew the disadvantages of being closed all the time, otherwise he would not have stood on the side of Shanamia and Orlando Ziyun and supported the implementation of the assimilation plan.

It’s just… yesterday when Cruze asked Dania Ged and Orlando Ziyun to cooperate with the Gulandon plan, one faking his death and the other being investigated, he expected that the news slandering Orlando Ziyun would spread soon. They didn’t think that such a despicable method could deceive the people, but... the slap in the face came so quickly.

"If it were you, Mr. Cruze, what would you do?" Shanamia was also here. She came here after dealing with the civil servants who came to meet with the emperor. These things made her upset. Only here at Cruze was quiet enough.

"The first step is to assassinate Lord Dania, but we won't spread rumors so quickly. We'll wait four or five days to let the public grievances ferment for a while. The second step is to spread rumors, but not about Lord Orlando, but about me."

"Yours?" X2
Dania Gad and Shanamia were stunned. Wasn't it to insult the opponent? Why expose themselves?

"Yes, mine." Cruze nodded confidently, indicating that he was not wrong. "I will have people spread rumors that I was the one who assassinated Dania Gad. This is more confusing than Lord Orlando assassinating Lord Dania, because everyone with a discerning eye knows that it was me who did it. Since there are suspicions, I will stand up myself, but I will not admit it, nor will I refute it in a big way. I will actively cooperate with the investigation and show my attitude."

"But... isn't this just handing myself over to the other party? What if they find out something..."

"Will Granton leave any traces?" Cruze raised the corner of his mouth, someone's life or death was unpredictable.

"This..." X2
Shanamia and Dania Gad could not answer. Traces might be left behind, but even if they were to be found and linked to Granton, it would take a lot of time. This period of time would be enough for public resentment to continue to ferment. Moreover, Granton's status and reputation were not low. If one wanted to convict him, one could not do it casually. One had to produce some solid evidence.

At this moment, Cruze put himself in the shoes of Granton. Granton's situation was his situation, and... Cruze would definitely do it more secretly than Granton.

"If that's not the case, then what am I afraid of? Think about it, I cooperated with the investigation very well, and if they couldn't find any problems, then what would the people think?"

"They will think... that you were wrongly accused?" Dania Gad thought.

"It won't be so decisive, but we will make them aware of this possibility." Cruze spread his hands and said, "If there is such a possibility, then it will be easy to deal with. At this time, let people quietly spread that I was wronged and the real culprit was Lord Orlando. There is no need to spread it on a large scale. Just a few people can just say it casually during the discussion, and then..."

Following Cruze's train of thought, Shanamia and Dania Gad began to sweat coldly.

This move is so poisonous that people's enthusiasm will fade quickly. They may be outraged at first, but will slowly cool down. Once the initial outrage fades, people will think more. Once they think more, possibilities will emerge. Then, at this time, another bombshell is dropped, and it is a bombshell with a completely different direction but a possibility. It can ignite the dissipated anger of the people again, and it will burn more fiercely than before. Just imagine, at that time, how will Orlando Ziyun respond? How should Shanamia respond?
"But...Grundon's trick is not completely useless, and he doesn't have that much time."
