I don't know why, since he saw the pile of warehouses that were burned to ruins, Zhang Tie, who was sitting in the carriage, had a bad premonition in his heart, and even he couldn't tell what it was, but suddenly he felt like a stone was pressed in his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Who burned the warehouse to destroy the scene of miè?
Are they the accomplices of those Helios Pilgrims? Possibly, the fifteen people he killed that day may not be all of them, and there may be other people in the Helios Dynasty lurking in this city, and it should be possible for those who are lurking in this warehouse to know that this warehouse is a secret stronghold for them.
But why did they burn down the place? Destroy miè evidence? It's possible, but wouldn't it be too noticeable to light a fire, and if there were indeed lurkers who hadn't been killed by themselves, what would those who had now been wiped out by their companions do? If it were him, in that case, he would definitely run away as soon as possible, and he would not stay in Brape at all, let alone set a fire.
Don't know if those bodies are in the fire? In the event of this kind of thing, someone should come to investigate the scene of the fire, and if there are suddenly more than a dozen corpses at the scene of a fire, no matter where they are placed, they will not be ignored. In the Norman Empire, when encountering the fire scene of the corpses, a yellow cordon will be drawn around the ruins according to the custom, and the cordon will generally remain for a long time, but just now, Zhang Tie did not see any cordon around the fire scene, does that mean that the corpses in the ruins are gone......
Today's weather is very good, but these kinds of questions make Zhang Tie feel as if he is suddenly covered with a layer of fog.
Because this matter involves Zhang Tie, and it involves the biggest secret that Zhang Tie doesn't want to be known, so Zhang Tie can't wait to ignore it, Zhang Tie always feels that the place that was burned to ruins. There was a strange feeling that frightened him.
Riding in a carriage to the neighborhood where Mr. and Mrs. Green were, Zhang Tie got out of the carriage and made a mark on a street lamp on the side of the street, and then returned to the place where he rented from Mr. and Mrs. Green.
As usual, at this time in the morning, Mr. and Mrs. Green were carefully taking care of the vegetables they had planted in the vegetable garden in front of their downstairs window, perhaps because Zhang Tie had shaken them too much that night a week ago, and this time when they saw Zhang Tie, although Mr. Green still took off his hat and said hello to him. But he saw a hint of fear and hesitation on the faces of the elderly couple.
For two old men who had lived peacefully in a place like Brape for decades, Zhang Tie's cold-blooded decision to let a soldier cut off a man's head that night and his subsequent actions, even though Zhang Tie felt that he was already 100% merciful, in their eyes, this kind of Norman officer who could kill people at every turn still made them feel afraid.
Zhang Tie went upstairs. As soon as I arrived at the staircase on the first floor, I saw the woman in the small couple living on the second floor carrying a vegetable basket and seemed to be going to buy vegetables, the woman also saw Zhang Tie, and then the woman's face turned white, and she was originally walking in the middle of the stairs and leaned stiffly on the edge of the stairs, squeezing out a smile on her face, waiting for Zhang Tie to go first.
Zhang Tie sighed helplessly, and then didn't say anything. He staggered up the stairs to his room on the fourth floor.
A few minutes later, Zhang Tie, who had changed into a new set of officer uniforms, left the residence of the Greens couple, stopped a carriage again on the road, and went straight to the base where the Ninth Equipment Section of the Integrated Logistics Support Office was located.
The arrival of Zhang Tie. Second Lieutenant Piping was still as welcoming and warm as ever, but he obviously misunderstood the meaning of Zhang Tie's arrival, and was in the office shortly after Zhang Tie's arrival. Second Lieutenant Piping obediently took an account book and a money bag. The gray income of the ninth equipment section was divided into two weeks, and Second Lieutenant Piping thought that Zhang Tie was here to get the money.
The pattern on the front and back of the ordinary standard gold coins of the Norman Empire is the iron alder and the crossed spear of the god of war, these two patterns, one is the national flower of the Norman Empire, and the other is the symbol of the state religion of the Norman Empire. He can go to buy a property, or he can go to find a lot of beautiful women, and then every day like a pig, living the kind of days of rolling in the pile of women and gold coins, now such a day seems to be within reach, but Zhang Tie knows that if he doesn't work hard to run forward, maybe such a day will not be passed in two days, and he and the qiē he has will be turned into powder.
In front of him, it seems that there is something in front of him that may bring him great trouble.
Seeing Zhang Tie sighing with the gold coin, Second Lieutenant Piping, who had been observing Zhang Tie's face, thought that Zhang Tie was a little dissatisfied and thought that the gold coin was less.
"Although these gold coins are not much, but this is already a tradition formed by the Ninth Equipment Section over the years, if you want to break this tradition, you may offend many people, and there are people who have sat in your position in the past who want to share a little more, but in the end, those people have not stayed in this position for long!" Second Lieutenant Piping said cautiously, after all, the wealth is moving, and he can get a profit of 10%, and he is always thinking about when he can get a profit of 20%, and Ensign Piping is heart-to-heart, feeling that this new lieutenant section chief may also want to get more when he is holding 20% of the profit.
Glancing at Ensign Piping who was sitting in front of him, Zhang Tie smiled and put away the heavy bag of gold coins, the gold coins in this money bag, by feeling, Zhang Tie knew that there were at least 22, which was probably equivalent to his father's salary in the previous two years, and it was not a small amount of money for ordinary people to collect, "Second Lieutenant, I am very satisfied with the current situation, and I have no plans to change anything, so you don't have to worry!" ”
Second Lieutenant Piping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, I've been recuperating in the countryside this week, why is the atmosphere in Brape even more tense when I come back this time than last week, haven't those saboteurs of the Sun God Dynasty been caught yet?" Zhang Tie, who took a sip of water, asked seemingly unintentionally.
"On Wednesday, two soldiers of the 21st Division went missing in Brape because of this. Brape's atmosphere has only become tense again for the past two days! Second Lieutenant Piping whispered, "Because I don't want to cause tension in Brape, this news has not been announced to the public!" ”
Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, "Did those lurkers and saboteurs of the Sun God Dynasty do it?" ”
"It's very likely, but I don't know the specifics, it's the Red Gloves of the Empire who are in charge of arresting those people in Brape, and those people have been here for two weeks, but unfortunately there is still nothing to gain, and it seems that those guys are also in vain......" A somewhat sarcastic smile appeared on the face of Second Lieutenant Piping.
"Red gloves?" Zhang Tie, who heard this word for the first time, glanced at Second Lieutenant Piping with some confusion. "What red gloves?"
Second Lieutenant Piping then remembered that he, the commander who had just come out of Black Flame City, might not know who the "Red Gloves" were in the Norman Empire, so he seriously explained to Zhang Tie, even with the oil of Second Lieutenant Piping, he couldn't help but show some disgust when talking about those people, the entire Iron Horn Legion. Probably not a single person likes those guys with red gloves.
"You're saying that it's the secret police under the Imperial Order Review Committee who are now in charge of investigating and apprehending the Norman saboteurs and infiltrators in Brape?" This news, which I only know now, shocked Zhang Tie's heart inexplicably.
"Yes, those guys seem to have something to do with the contradictions between the big guys above when they came to Brape, I heard that Marshal Lin Changjiang and the big guys of the Imperial Order Review Committee don't get along......" Second Lieutenant Piping explained to Zhang Tie what he heard about the inside story of these red gloves coming to Brape because of the bombing, "Because of the disappearance of the soldiers of the two 21st Divisions, everyone suspects that those lurkers of the Sun God Dynasty did it, and no one knows what those people are going to do next." The officers above are very angry, so the atmosphere in Brape has been a little tense these days, and those red gloves have been transferred from outside a lot of people this week......"
Could it be that in addition to the ones he killed, there is another group of lurkers in Brape? Thinking of this answer. Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, maybe the warehouse was really burned by those people, those guys were really not afraid of death, and they didn't run away immediately after the matter was completely revealed. Maybe there was a secret in the warehouse that they didn't want to be known, after all, they didn't do a thorough inspection of the warehouse at the time.
Zhang Tie found several "suitable reasons" for this qiē in his heart.
Zhang Tie at this time. I didn't think that the "red gloves" in Lieutenant Peping's mouth would have anything to do with him, the "red gloves" were just a tool of struggle thrown by the big people to Brape, and their target was those guys of the Sun God Dynasty, what would happen to a small person like himself?
Thinking so, although there were still some questions, Zhang Tie put this matter aside for the time being.
"Do you have any acquaintances in the Legion's armament?" Zhang Tie asked Piping.
"There is no officer in the entire logistics department of the Iron Horn Legion that I don't know!" Second Lieutenant Piping said with some pride.
That's the advantage of a person like Ensign Pepin, who is well-informed and has a lot of friends wherever he is, and a man like Reinhardt can be powerful on the battlefield, but a person like Ensign Pepin can also be at ease in some places.
"So, go for a drive, and take me to the Legion's armament office?"
"Sir, what are you going to ......?"
"Isn't it possible for the Medal of Iron to receive a special piece of equipment as a reward at the Legion's Equipment?" Zhang Tie smiled, he almost became a waste some time ago, and he didn't pay much attention to the matter of rewarding special equipment with the Order of Iron and Blood, and he couldn't use it anyway, but now he has completely recovered, and if he doesn't take this kind of fair and honest benefit, is it still himself? It just so happens that I don't have a suitable weapon now, so it is a matter of course to go to the equipment department to pick a weapon.
As the equipment department of the entire legion, there should be more good things than the equipment depot of the 39th Division stationed in Black Flame City......
