As the oldest qualified host in Xifeng, Huang Lao's body was solemnly sealed and hidden by Jiang Le's order after it was discovered, and it was to be taken out again after the chaos was quelled, and then the formal burial ceremony was carried out. Although Xiang Nanxing did not come to the scene in person, he also saw the familiar face again from some photos taken at that time.

The old man, who once made him in awe, peacefully closed his eyes in the photo, as if asleep.

"We checked when we found the body, that is, Huang Lao, the time of death and the time when the video was interrupted are basically the same, and the time of death shown on Matsumoto Makoto's body is also about the same, and it will not take more than a few minutes before and after." Jiang Le said, "The body had many serious fractures caused by falling from a height, but the fatal one should have been in the chest." Huang Lao's chest was directly pierced from behind, and his heart was pierced at the first moment of attack, and the resulting internal bleeding instantly destroyed his vitality, killing him with one blow in the true sense. ”

"In other words, there is at least a third party on the scene!" Xiang Nanxing nodded.

Liang Jingmo also showed a thoughtful expression, and said to himself: "The wound runs through ...... from behind"

At this moment, Nangong Qian, who had been silently watching the video, suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at Wen Ji's mobile phone playing the video.

"Trouble again." Her face was solemn, "I want to confirm what I saw last." ”

Jiang Le nodded. The surrounding hosts were slightly discolored.

"It is worthy of being the strongest 'gun' of the Nangong family, and his eyesight is amazing. We all looked at it together several times before we found out about this. She exclaimed, telling Wen Ji to push the video back a little bit, and then switch to frame-by-frame playback mode. In this mode, the last few seconds of the video seem to be stretched out of thin air dozens of times, and Matsumoto in the frame falls down little by little at an extremely slow speed, as if standing still in the air. This completely unusually slow pace will only make anyone feel impatient when they watch it.

However, Xiang Nanxing's eyes widened, holding his breath and staring at the picture, refusing to miss any detail. Although Nangong Qian didn't say it explicitly, it can be seen from the reactions around her that her eagle-like eyes should capture a flashing detail in the video, which is difficult for even the host to capture, and even needs to be dispatched to play frame by frame to see clearly.

Finally, when the video was about to end, that extremely difficult moment to capture arrived. Wen Ji quickly pressed the pause button before the video ended, allowing the white to freeze on the screen. It was a miserable white paper mask, and a page of pure white paper was painted with only a few simple strokes with a black pen, drawing a grinning appearance, which looked creepy. In Xiang Nanxing's impression, only one person would wear such a thing to appear.

"'Masked Man' Fick!" He uttered the man's name.

"In the last thirty frames, the face appears in the last seven frames, of which only the last three frames are clear enough, including the freeze frame we see now. After that, the camera was destroyed, and if he had done it faster, we wouldn't even have had time to see his face now. Wen Ji introduced, "At that time, there should be more than one of him, but these three frames are the only clues we have at hand, and then in the investigation of Huang Lao's death, we will list Fike as the number one suspect, if we find him, maybe we can know the situation at the time, and even directly get clues about this turmoil." But in this matter, we are facing the same problem as before. ”

She spread her hands: "All the hosts in China are missing." Even if I knew who I was looking for, I still didn't have any clues. ”

With her announcement, the room fell silent. These people know that in this environment where no action can be taken lightly, any action must have a clear direction, and it must be done only in a way that ensures that it will pay off. However, the lack of clues prevents them from carrying out such an operation smoothly - either risking the risk of being caught in the air, or continuing to carefully gather intelligence and continue to let things change in an already chaotic environment. No matter which side it is, it is poison, and now Jiang Le and the others are indeed in a dilemma.

Here, Liang Jingmo has been secretly paying attention to the two old hosts on the side, waiting to see if they will open their mouths to break the deadlock. After all, there is a precedent for such a thing. When the murder incident occurred on the ship before, this old-timer could easily solve it, but he just stood aside and watched the show in the name of "military training", and waited until everything was perfectly solved in the end before he took action. Maybe it's the same this time.

However, now it seems that even the two "top ten" hosts don't have much to do.

"Let me ask two questions, there are some things I want to confirm here." Liang Jingmo sighed, "First of all, you said that you received the information that Huang Lao was martyred, in other words, the contact with China was still smooth at that time, right?" ”

The hosts exchanged glances, and finally it was "ice floes" Yukihiko replied: "This can't be said like this. ”

He clicked on his phone and showed Liang Jingmo a program he had just opened.

"This is an information publishing platform, and most of the information related to the work will be posted on it, and the main maintainer is Huang Lao." He explained, "Among the hosts, Huang Lao's status is more special. Although he is only the 'sixth', he has the authority to be close to the 'first' and can give orders directly to the hosts. But this contact is one-line, and we can only contact him through this platform, and we can't connect to other hosts. ”

Liang Jingmo nodded, indicating that he understood.

Xue Yan continued: "At that time, we all received a communication request from Huang Lao, and after connecting it, we saw a live video similar to a 'live broadcast'. That's what we just saw, but when we saw the end of the stream cut off in that abrupt form, we all sensed something wasn't quite right. Later, we couldn't receive Huang Lao's information, and there was no response to the contact initiated, so we called up the video again to study, and finally found Fick flashing behind. ”

"Very well, then I don't need to ask the second question."

Liang Jingmo nodded, but his brows furrowed even deeper: "The lens was really designed by Huang Lao himself, the whole process was within his plan, and he even calculated the entire range of activities of the pursuit, from beginning to end, it did not exceed the shooting range of the camera." But when I think about it like this, I can't help but ask, Huang Lao, who has almost done everything, hasn't he ever thought about the situation where the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind? ”

"I think the same thing." Jiang Le sighed.

She picked up Liang Jingmo's words: "Filming the process of killing Makoto Matsumoto may be to deter some of the hosts who wavered in the chaos, but if this is all there is to it, he can go through the way of public execution, instead of adopting this kind of on-site hunting full of variables, and there is no need to make such a complicated 'live broadcast' form." I think that when he was thinking about setting up an automatic camera, Huang Lao already had the consciousness of paying the price with his life. His pursuit of Matsumoto may have been an attempt to lead to another target, one that even he was not sure of defeating. So he set up the stage and left the machine to film the process and pass it on to us, just to reveal the true face of the other party. ”

Although he was martyred, his efforts were not in vain. The clue he left behind at the end of Fick keeps us from being ignorant of the opponent we will face next. ”

She jerked to her feet, a look of awe-inspiring on her face.

"Even Huang Lao has risked his life like this, what reason do I have to cower!"

With a wave of her hand, the hosts around her, whether they were sitting or standing, all stood up at this moment, standing solemnly like well-trained soldiers, even the frivolous and arrogant ones on weekdays. For a while, the atmosphere in the room changed, and even Xiang Nanxing moved involuntarily, almost being pushed by this atmosphere, and stood up with them.

Jiang Le looked around, his sharp gaze lingered on the faces of each host for a moment, and finally landed on the three people who were still sitting firmly. They have helped her a lot, but compared to the hosts who belong to the royal family, these three people are closer to "Keqing" in status, let alone obey her, and they are not even sure whether they will accompany her.

However, whoever leaves and who stays, even if she is alone, she can only move forward.

"We have to act, and any further delay will only make the situation more chaotic." She said emphatically, "We just reviewed the situation again, and we also gave you another opportunity to reflect on your previous plans. If you have any opinions, you can speak freely for the next minute. ”

She waited quietly for a minute, while the hosts also maintained their original posture and stayed silent with her for a minute. Xiang Nanxing secretly gave Liang Jingmo a look, and the latter shrugged helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Jiang Le's words were not for outsiders, and at this time, she was obviously determined to find out this. The plan she was talking about should be a set of plans that were discussed internally after they landed and collected some information before, including what should be done next and who should be arranged to do it. During this period, Xiang Nanxing and the other three were carrying out the task of "revoking the killer's commission" in another place, and they were not with the large army, so there was naturally no way to know the content of this plan.

Outsiders are outsiders, and in this kind of high-stakes decision-making, she just treats them as a few catfish that may activate everyone's rigid thinking, and uses their speeches to see if it is possible to find new highlights from the original analysis, and if it is not necessary, she does not even want to provide complete information. As for the specific actions, she directly handed them over to the team of her descendants.

Although it was unpleasant to be ignored, it was they who first rejected each other's calls. "Sitting" is enough to declare a position, then it will be split in two, if it were replaced by Xiang Nanxing, it would probably be the decision it is now.

"It's time." Jiang Le nodded, "Since everyone has no opinions, then we will proceed according to the agreed plan." After walking out of this door, no matter how the situation changes, I hope that everyone will do their best to make the project a success. ”

She spoke lightly as she bowed her head to the crowd, bent down, and gave her a long bow.

"In the next twelve hours, Xifeng's life and death are in your hands. Please. ”

No one speaks, but sometimes the silence itself represents an unwavering attitude. At this moment, Jiang Le is no longer just the fourth princess with no identity, but really shows the majesty of the Xifeng royal family. As if infected by her consciousness, the aura of slaughter emanating from everyone became stronger and stronger, and after the door was opened, it would spread and sweep across the country.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, breaking the atmosphere that was about to be joined at an inopportune time.

"I'm sorry, it's timeout, but I did come up with a little bit of an opinion." Liang Jingmo raised his hand with a grin, "Regarding the most important 'national announcement' task here, can we do it?" ”
