Chapter 252 Crying bitterly
As predicted, the third prince Alex, through the Royal Secret Service of the Kingdom of Riyuan, used an arrest warrant full of loopholes to throw the dwarf who kissed Talcoco into the Bastille.
The arrest operation was carried out in the early morning, when a large number of agents dressed in Bureau of Investigation uniforms surrounded the dormitory building where "Qin Xinghe" was located.
They pried open the door, casually waved a piece of white paper in front of "Qin Xinghe", and then put "him" into the prison van without saying anything.
The whole process went very quickly. Qin Xinghe was found guilty before he could even sit down on the metal stool in the Security Bureau.
Then "he" was transported to the dreaded Bastille as quickly as possible.
This series of unexpected events caught everyone off guard.
At that time, McTwister was deploying troops to other cities in order to deal with the Orange Army's raids behind enemy lines.
In addition, the time was late at night to early morning, so the "Slaughter Blade Blood Shadow Army" failed to obtain the news of "Qin Xinghe" being captured in the first time, and failed to take timely blocking or rescue actions.
When Elizabeth, the head of the modification company, learned the news that "Qin Xinghe" was arrested and imprisoned, she immediately informed the eldest prince Steve of the bad news.
However, Elizabeth, who thought Steve would take action, was disappointed.
Because within a few hours after the incident, the eldest prince did not take any rescue action.
It was not until "Qin Xinghe" was convicted and imprisoned that Steve woke up from a dream and began his rescue operation.
He first went directly to the third prince Alex and asked him to release "Qin Xinghe" immediately, but of course he was rejected.
Then, the director of the Security Bureau, the director of the Investigation Bureau, the Chief Justice of the Riyuan Kingdom, and the head of an elite infantry regiment of the "Slaughter Blade Blood Shadow Army" stationed in Xianghe Taida City, all received calls from the eldest prince.
As the sun just jumped out of the horizon, the entire upper-class circle of the Riyuan Kingdom was in an uproar.
The arrest of a small mixed-race person triggered a series of chain reactions.
It also made people understand that the battle for power between brothers has officially begun.
Although Steve's actions were delayed by several hours intentionally or unintentionally, he still took action after all. On the other hand, the actions of the second prince were a different story.

After dawn, the news that "Qin Xinghe" was arrested and imprisoned spread, and the second prince Dennis's reaction was unusually direct.
He stormed into the office of the third prince Alex and argued with him until both sides became emotional and a fierce quarrel broke out.
After a heated exchange of words, the two men parted unhappily, each presenting a sharply worded impeachment letter to their father.
Such serious disagreements are rare among princes.
The root of this dispute is that the research and production of the military's new generation of tree armor has reached a critical stage.
"Qin Xinghe", as the head of the core research team of the central laboratory of the "Slaying Blade Blood Shadow Army", was thrown into the Bastille at this time, which was undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the head of the army, Dennis - at least on the surface.
However, in this turmoil, the most crucial figure, Mai Tornado, the commander of the "Slaying Blade Blood Shadow Army", remained silent.
On his desk was a report submitted by the Royal Investigation Department under the Third Prince Alex.
This report is full of loopholes, but it accuses "Qin Xinghe" of being a foreign spy.
According to the report, "Qin Xinghe" was bribed by the intelligence department of Huayue Kingdom after leaving Riyuan Kingdom to study in Lanshu Empire.
"He" received rigorous spy training and completed many difficult intelligence gathering missions.
"Qin Xinghe" took great pains to infiltrate the "Lure Blade Blood Shadow Army" this time, with the purpose of stealing the highest level of confidential information of the Riyuan Kingdom's army.
This time he was exposed because he had an intersection with a staff member of the royal investigation department when he was performing a espionage mission abroad.
The staff member accidentally recognized "him" some time ago and reported it immediately.
After a series of meticulous retrospection and evidence collection, this long-hidden veteran spy was finally caught.

Although this entire investigation report seems weak and full of loopholes - after all, the key human witness is Alex's man, while the key physical evidence is missing.
But this does not prevent it from becoming an ironclad case that is difficult to overturn.
Because the life trajectory of "Qin Xinghe" is too simple. Apart from the orphanage, there is his experience of studying in the Lanshu Empire.
During this period, long periods of time left blank, providing opportunities for the framers to take advantage of.
If one wants to clear Qin Xinghe of suspicion, it will inevitably take a lot of time and manpower to collect evidence.
However, at this moment "Qin Xinghe" has been thrown into the Bastille, where entry and exit are prohibited.
Unless there is a pardon issued by Emperor Macbeth himself, he will never see the light of day again.
By the time everyone found out about this, it was already a done deal. No one, including McFlurry, was at a loss as to what to do.
McFlurry was no fool, he certainly knew that this was a naked frame-up.
But the other party is a prince after all. As the guardian of the royal family and the head of the highest legion, he knows very well where he should stand at this moment.
He would never act rashly without any real evidence that could overturn the flawed arrest warrant.
What's more, the matter has developed into an internal fight among several princes for the throne.
As an outsider, it was really inconvenient for him to get involved.
So, in everyone's eyes, McFlurry seemed to easily accept the fact that "Qin Xinghe" was sent to the Bastille.
From then on, no matter what the three princes said or did, McFlurry remained silent, as calm and neutral as he had always been.
His silence reflects his helplessness towards reality as well as his deep reflection and consideration on the future situation.

[Volume 8 · Beginning]
According to custom, prisoners entering the Bastille had to take off their clothes and dry them in the disinfection room for half an hour to prevent them from bringing in infectious diseases or contraband.
But Miss Shen is a woman...
Fortunately, there were secret agents arranged by Takeda Nagayoshi in advance.
When it was Miss Shen's turn to enter the disinfection room, before she could start to take off her clothes, she was gently kicked in by the hidden stake, thus saving her from the embarrassing scene of showing off her sculpted muscles in public.
"Fortunately, fortunately, my innocence is preserved."
Miss Shen touched the sweat on her forehead and felt a surge of relief at surviving the disaster.
Originally, she planned to just close her eyes and get through it.
But she didn't expect that the jailer behind her would curse her for being slow, kick her out of the encirclement, and throw in a set of prison jumpsuit at the same time.
Taking advantage of the blind spot of the surveillance camera, Miss Shen quickly changed into the prison uniform, and then threw the clothes she had taken off into the incinerator nearby.
"How funny! I didn't expect that I would really become a member of the 'Orange Army' in here." Miss Shen thought to herself with a smile as she looked at her orange prison uniform.
Soon, the disinfection was completed.
Shen Yiyi was taken out of the disinfection room by the guards and walked towards the cell.
Along the way, the prisoners in other cells were very excited to see the new inmates coming. They kept banging on the metal railings and making strange noises.
"This is so funny. It's exactly the same as in those movies and TV shows. Is it true that no matter which world people are in, they will become like this after entering prison? It's so cliché..."
Miss Shen was secretly puzzled.
However, her face still showed an extremely terrified expression, and her eyes were even red, as if she was almost scared to tears.
This cowardly look made the prisoners even more excited, and they shouted even harder.

Soon, "Qin Xinghe" disguised as Miss Shen was taken to cell No. 1418.
The cabin is small, only ten square meters, and there is nothing else except two bunk beds and a metal toilet.
At this time, there were already three prisoners here, and "Qin Xinghe" was the fourth.
When the jailer kicked "him" into the cellar and slammed the iron door shut, "Qin Xinghe" knew that he was going to suffer physical pain.
"He" was only 1.7 meters tall, and when faced with a big black cellmate who was over 2.2 meters tall, he looked weak and helpless, just like a chick in front of an ostrich.
The big black guy picked "him" up easily as if he were picking up a mop.
Before he could open his mouth to ask any questions, he was shocked to find that "Qin Xinghe" had already started crying bitterly.
It was the kind of whimpering sound that comes from someone who is extremely aggrieved but doesn't dare to cry out loud.
