Chapter 159 The reaction of all parties

"How could this happen... Mr. Ashes is the murderer of Mr. Hughes? This is impossible!" Finally, Edward, who was slow to learn, also saw this news. Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Edward couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Alphonse looked at Edward at a loss and asked, "Brother, what should we do now? Mr. Ashes cannot be a murderer! What should we do now?"

"No! Let's ask Lady Gracia first to see if she knows anything!" Edward grabbed the newspaper in his hand and looked at Alphonse beside him and said.

"We have already impeded Mr. Hughes, and we must not implicate Mr. Ashes again! There must be something wrong here!" Edward and Alphonse hurried to Hughes's home, trying to get some information from Mrs. Gracia.

But while waiting for the Elric brothers to knock on the door of the Hughes house, they saw Mrs. Gracia and Miss Fireproof sitting together, drinking coffee and chatting...

The two brothers were stunned on the spot. Gracia, who opened the door, looked at the stunned Elric brothers and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Edward, Alphonse?"

Edward looked at the fire prevention girl, then at Gracia, and Alicia who was running around on the ground. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, "This... um, you guys..."

Edward shook his head, patted his cheek and said urgently, "Miss Fireproof, Mrs. Gracia, something happened. Mr. Ashes has been caught now. He was wrongly accused of being the murderer of Brigadier General Hughes!"

Gracia said distressedly, "We already knew about this matter, but the fire prevention lady said there was no need to worry at all... I didn't know what to say, even though she had been convicted... but she still said there was no need to worry..."

Edward crossed Gracia and came to the fireproof girl who was leisurely sipping coffee and reading the books in her hand. He asked eagerly, "Miss fireproof girl, why don't you worry? Mr. Ashes was wronged and he may be about to be punished."

Executed!"

"Don't worry... nothing will happen to Lord Ashes." The fireproof woman took a sip of the coffee in her cup, closed the book gently, and said to Edward and Alphonse with a smile.

"But... this must be a conspiracy... someone wants to frame him!" Edward explained to the fire girl eagerly, fearing that this quiet and elegant elder sister would not understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Here, Master Ashes is invincible. This is what he said to me personally. What I need to do is to believe in him, wait for him, and then embrace him. Just like what we did before, he will always triumph. He

We will always win!" The fireproof girl shook her head gently and looked at Edward seriously for the first time.

Alphonse, who had never seen the fireproof girl's expression before, thought that the fireproof girl was angry... He couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and said nervously, "Miss Fireproof Girl, brother, that's not what he meant. We all hope that Mr. Ashes is fine, but... now

The situation is indeed a bit urgent!”

"I know, but compared to the current tense situation, I believe in Lord Ashes' power more. I believe you all understand this." Having said this, the fireproof girl smiled softly at Brother Elric.

.

Of course Edward and Alphonse will never forget it... During the Scarface incident, the two of them witnessed with their own eyes the violent power of Ashes, its unrivaled and unstoppable strength... But some things cannot be solved with strength alone.

It's like being taken to court and falsely accused of being a murderer. Of course, Edward and Alphonse won't know that it was Ashes who did it...

After the two looked at each other, Edward looked at the fireproof girl seriously and said, "We just want to know what we should do now. Mr. Ashes is obviously implicated by us... Just like Brigadier General Hughes... We hate this kind of thing

, don’t want it to happen again!”

"You decide for yourselves. As Lord Ashes said, you are no longer children and need to be responsible for your own decisions. So, I can only say, believe in yourselves..." The fireproof girl looked at the two stubborn brothers.

, couldn't help but sigh slightly and said slowly.

The Elric brothers fell silent. To be honest, they didn't know what they should do to help Ashes who was 'framed', so they came to seek help.

But now it seems that they can only continue to fight alone.



"What do we need to do? Colonel" Lisa, who was following Mustang, frowned and asked Mustang who was facing forward without saying a word. They were not sure whether Ashes was truly innocent or not, and they didn't know the next step.

How to do.

"The primary issue now is to find evidence that Ashes is not the murderer. Not only can we convince the military police, but at the very least, we must have evidence that can convince us..." Mustang did not reply and continued to move forward with his head lowered, speaking unhurriedly.

Answered Lisa's question.

"Is there any direction?" Lisa looked at Mustang who was taking his time, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Now, as long as it involves Hughes, you need to pay more attention, let alone this time the military has caught the murderer.

.

"Yes, Haberk has been sent to check. The results should be available in a while..." Mustang nodded slightly and said seriously.

At this moment, the Elric brothers came over under the leadership of Major Armstrong. Looking at Mustang, Edward said in a loud voice, "Colonel Mustang, we need to help Mr. Ashes, he is innocent!"

Mustang looked at the eager Edward, frowned slightly and said, "Then how do you know he is innocent?"

"Isn't it? The relationship between Mr. Ashes and Mr. Hughes is very good, and he has no reason to kill Brigadier General Hughes." Edward was somewhat unable to understand Mustang's question. Is now the time to question this?

"So what's the evidence? There's no evidence, let alone the gendarmerie. Even I can't be convinced. Maybe Ashes is lying to you? Maybe Ashes is disguising? How long have you known each other? Do you really know him?"

Mustang frowned and watched Edward speak word by word.

"This..." Edward, who was speechless, slowly stepped back, gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "I believe Mr. Ashes, I will find the evidence!" After speaking, he took Alvon with him.

Si turned and left.

Armstrong looked at the leaving Elric brothers and said helplessly to Mustang, "Colonel... Do you really think Mr. Ashes is the murderer of Brigadier General Hughes? You should know..."

"Of course I know that the fireproof girl who has been following Ashes is currently living in Hughes's home, but I don't want these brothers to get too involved in this matter. Someone has already died... and you too,

Major Armstrong, you... also need to be more careful!" Mustang interrupted Major Armstrong, looked at him seriously and warned.

Armstrong smiled, looked at Mustang and said, "Ah, I know, but my father seems to be very lonely recently, and it's really helpless for me to want to accompany him... Obviously I am so busy at work."

"The Armstrong family? It's really...you should pay more attention to yourself." Mustang nodded and whispered, and continued to walk forward. But when he passed by Major Armstrong, he whispered again, "The enemy is better than us."

There’s more to imagine…”

After saying that, he took Lieutenant Lisa and left without looking back. Looking at Mustang going away, Armstrong nodded deeply, saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"

As for the comrade victim in the current case: Masius, he has already begun to think about robbing the prison. In fact, he has obtained the prison's defense map through unknown means. He is sitting in the hut, studying the map carefully.

, considering the feasibility of prison robbery...

Looking at the map on the table, Hughes made up his mind and hid the flying knives in every corner of his body. He didn't know if the female body after the transformation was softer, so now Hughes could hide more.

There are more flying knives and they are more coordinated.

Looking at the prison in the distance, Hughes laughed, "What a worrying guy... He saved my life and actually put his own in it... Hiding in the corner is not my style. I will sacrifice my life for you and me."

I want to rescue you too!"

And somewhere underground in the center, several voices were arguing with each other...

"Envi, who asked you to attack Ashes directly! Do you know how much effort we put into appeasing him?" Rust frowned, looking at Envi who looked indifferent, and said angrily

.

Enwei, who was scolded, waved his hands indifferently and said gloatingly, "What does it matter? Don't you see that he is staying in prison very honestly now? You are just too nervous! No matter how powerful you are, you still can't.

Is he just a humble human being?”

Rust sighed helplessly, looked at Envi seriously and said, "So, what do you want to do by putting him in prison? And is there any result?"

Hearing this question, Enwei suddenly became interested, laughed, and said complacently, "Good question! This is my complacent plan. Ashes, and Mustang are all candidates for the human pillar, but they are now

There is no reason or motivation to refine the human body. I will give them motivation. The best result is to use this incident to stimulate Mustang and let him kill the woman who has been following Ashes, and then the two of them can do nothing about each other.

, all made from human bodies and turned into human pillars.”

"But is this possible? Such an assumption is too naive. These two people are not the kind of impulsive people..." Rust frowned and questioned the purpose of this plan.

Enwei shook his head gently and said, "Tsk tsk, this is the genius of this plan... The worst result is that none of them become a human pillar, but they drag each other down, one is imprisoned, and the other is in prison."
