CH.129 Rumors are better than alarms

A gust of wind blew, and there was little to stop the cool wind from heading ahead, corresponding to Army General Sean N. Konys, who was walking quickly down the aisle. He was like the gust of wind, sometimes he turned the tide like a giant wrestler, sometimes he was relaxed and pleasant like a subtle coolness, but at this moment his expression was no longer playful and relaxed, his frown and slightly uncomfortable expression made even passers-by who did not know the truth feel a bad atmosphere.

Along the way, there was no one in the way of the admiral, and no one wanted to stop it. Everyone was just busy with their own business, and due to the suddenness of the situation and the fact that the measures were not controlled, even with strict secrecy measures, the death of the major general still had some adverse effects on the people around him.

Finally, as Koenish turned to his hall, he felt the sight of the people around him fade away, at least the well-trained guys weren't following their commander, like the annoying guys of Cloud Dancing.

Pushing open the door with his hand, the wooden gate with iron and magic made a thick but ugly moving sound, this sound has been with the Admiral for a long time, so naturally he will not feel that there is too much wrong, but at this moment, when he knew what happened to the unfortunate Lorenz, this sound was like a death knell and shouted hoarsely.

In the hall where Lady Moon and Master Merlin had been met, there were a handful of people standing at this moment, about two dozen of them, if not many, but they were still officers of the rank of general in the army.

It can be said that all personnel above the rank of major general in the army are almost the same, except for Lampelji who is in the field. Gurog. Vaux is a resolute and courageous man, but also an emotional and bloody father, he knows how much to expect from his juniors, and he is standing on the right at the moment looking at Lorenz lying flat in the middle like his own son. Like anyone, Vaux couldn't believe why Lorenz, who was just over thirty, could not believe why something had happened to him, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

On the other side of Lorenz's remains. Lieutenant General Dante, who returned from abroad, stared at this cold body even more intently, compared to Vaux's strong appearance and heavy feelings on the inside, Dante was a person who was consistent inside and out. His eyes are delicate and eagle-like, always able to see prey and flaws with a sharp eye, and his beard is short but thick and refined, like a steady spiritual pressure gathered in the position where he needs it most. Compared to the feeling that the lieutenant general had been talking to Fleur who was kneeling in front of Lorenz and crying not long ago, he seemed to have been much more silent now, and no one knew how his rich but rational brain was working, and no one knew what his gaze wandered from time to time, or doubtful or affirmative, represented.

Finally. The appearance of the admiral brought hope to everyone, just as he felt like a gust of wind. He slowed down at first. Slowly walked towards Lorentz, who was lying down, and then slowly pulled the white cloth closer to his head. What fell into his eyes was a shriveled face, and the people who died with pain were all this and that of Aunt Mu, even though the years of experience had made the admiral accustomed to seeing the dead on the battlefield and seeing all kinds of heroic spirits.

However. This qiē happened too suddenly, too abnormally. It's like a person who said goodbye not long ago, and he can't see him just by staying at home, and this is a well-planned assassination

"What are the results of the survey?" The old admiral turned to look at the crowd, although he was usually relaxed and lively enough, not like an old man. But when faced with a sudden death, even this person with supreme power and power becomes tired and miserable. Human beings will never be able to fight death and face the most painful separation. Even if it is said that it is a messenger of God, even if it is said that the power of man has been strengthened, it is still true. Human beings are nothing more than children in a chess game between heaven and hell, between gods and demon kings.

"Very unsatisfactory, Admiral." The person who answered Cornish was a young woman standing behind Volks. She doesn't look older than Fleur, but when it comes to dealing with things like that. Her exquisite technique and dedicated attitude are far superior to Fleur, and even the male mask of the same period, she is Pierre. Major General Lucius. "We surveyed the scene and were surprised to find that there were no obvious signs of battle there, and there were no signs of battle that a major general should have, and Mr. Lorenz had already appeared."

"I said, could it be that it wasn't the first place to take place?" The person who asked the question was Lieutenant General Dante, Major General Crobby, who was next to Yun Ci, who always had dead fish eyes, but he wore this watermelon-like hairstyle, and looked like a well-behaved man, but he always liked to question. "Admiral, we just talked about it."

Kenneth also thinks it makes sense, and he looks to Pierre waiting for her report. In fact, long before the admiral entered the door, all the people present participated in blocking the news, carrying and disposing of the corpse, and then stood and carried out all kinds of intelligence gathering and speculation, and now they are just doing the report in front of the admiral.

A serious Pierre began to report back all the information that had been summarized not long ago: "Your Excellency, we have ruled out the existence of other crime scenes according to our research, because it has been fourteen hours since the last public sighting of the Major General to the discovery of this woman today, during which time we have investigated the defenses without an anomalous breach (Suspicion 1), and we have not seen the Major General leave, and the investigation of the entire castle has told us that there is no second place where it is as messy. ”

During this time, the admiral simply nodded in agreement and listened attentively.

"There is a report from the dormitory that the dormitory manager had found that the major general had returned to the dormitory after leaving his subordinates, and that it had been fourteen hours since then, and that the death had occurred about four hours after leaving the dormitory based on the stiffness and wounds of the corpse. What did the Major General do for four hours? (Doubt 2), anyway, the major general died there in the end, and the time was morning"

During this time, Lieutenant General Dante was constantly thinking

"And then we are only now discussing the cause of death, which we cannot understand, there are two wounds on the body of the Major General, one is a slight blade scratch and a large cut all over the body, and the crack can be clearly seen in his clothes and body, which we speculate is the cause of death, and the other is a tooth mark on the left back of his neck, although it is very penetrating. However, the extensive bite and ulceration on the neck were not the cause of death, and we came to the conclusion that we were first bitten and then scratched all over the body by a strange knife wound (Suspicion 3) I am just giving my opinion, if there is no suspicion, it is not a case. ”

When all was said and done, Admiral Kenneth was still intently observing the corpse under the white cloth, and with his experience, he could not believe that a trivial cut was more fatal than a bite from a major artery, and that the bite did not kill Lorentz immediately, so what happened to Lorentz?

"What did this bite make you think of?" Looking at the admiral who was squatting in place and forcing himself to observe, everyone immediately began to think, hoping to interrupt the admiral's gaze at the first time and make him feel better.

"Wild dogs, but it can't be. None of the wild dogs here are there, and there are wild dogs," said Vaux, who found himself unable to justify himself. Because there is no such neat bite in such a small area, and no matter how ordinary wild dogs in heat dare to bite the major general, shouldn't the place where they were bitten by wild dogs be more tragic?

"It's not a wild dog, it's some kind of mosquito-like scarf, and this tooth mark is just right to squeeze into the veins and tendons. It seems that he wants to kill with one blow, but in fact, it is not, just to paralyze the major general" Dante finally spoke, his voice was clearer than that of Yun Ci, and his words were more accurate, worthy of reaching the point. And at this moment, he asked Fleur again: "Do you remember that there were any other suspicious people or even animals before you found the Major General?" ”

At this moment, the lieutenant general's words immediately drew everyone's attention to this side, and Fleur, who was not good at big scenes, was almost stupid. All at once, so many high-level people stared at him, as if he was not a discoverer but a murderer.

"No one else is there, and if there is, I probably won't find out." Fleur, who was covering her face, suddenly thought of something, "It's just bats, there are a lot of them, and this is the only one that scares me." ”

"But our bats were personally chosen by the Admiral. By Noah's Ark standards, they weren't supposed to be dark creatures to make their home in the castle. ”

Hear the lieutenant general say that. Fleur suddenly became emboldened and said, "Then what kind of target is the standard containment animal of Noah's Ark?" ”

"Of course, that's the fear of our God, God. If this is not the case, we will all suffer from the flood, and our bats fear God like this, and will not attack humans" Dante himself began to waver as if he were chanting, although he wanted to tell him that the animals he kept all year round were not in danger, but it was difficult to guarantee that this was not a loophole in the army base.

"At such a juncture, when something like this happened near the end of the expedition, it must not be mourned, until the truth is ascertained" said this very Mademoiselle Pierre.

"How can this be?" It was Fleur who argued with her, "Can't you let Major General Lorenz go because of the Legion's own affairs?" Major General Lorenz is obviously so kind and capable, can't he get the funeral he deserves? ”

"You know what? This is for the sake of the overall situation, and the secret can make everyone feel at ease, and our castle will not be panicked, and I am sure that everyone will understand our decision. ”

"No, absolutely not. Only concealment and deception will not be completely forgotten, even if others don't mind on the surface, but what impact it will have on the entire legion is long-term, those who are panicked will not say that they will speculate more, they are really our companions, even if they tell the truth, they will unite with us to get through the difficulties. As she spoke, the slightly weaker Fleur began to cry loudly, she really couldn't tolerate such a disregard for human feelings.

"What's wrong? It's normal for people to keep secrets forever" It turned out to be Merlin standing at the door who said this, "I'm really sorry, I didn't come at the right time to break this matter, but what the little girl said makes sense." ”

At this time, Pierre knew that he was soft-spoken, and did not contradict Merlin, a good friend of the Admiral. So Volks' spoke: "Mr. Merlin, it's not good to interfere with the mask. After all, you're not a member of the Kamen Army. ”

"It's true that the old man is not a mask, but as Sean's friend, what I must say is the truth of getting along with people, not the rules of your legion."

Hearing Merlin's statement, Dante actually smiled coldly, of course, this was a sneer from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time he raised a hand: "I am willing to agree with this woman's statement, the funeral of Lorentz is a strong focus, we need to set up a banner, a goal for all the people to work hard." It's ridiculous, but rumors are more terrifying than alarmist. ”

"Do as Dante says, and give another order." Finally, the admiral spoke: "All non-commissioned officers must act in groups of two or more people, and must not stay until late at night, and must not enter dangerous alleys alone. It's time for us to go to war, to make the little ones nervous and go to war. ”
