Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Salvation Chapter 23: He Is Dead
On the 28th day of the Eternal Emperor Month of the Holy Emperor Calendar, late at night.
A monstrous fire appeared on a farm in the outer city.
The guards, who were still asleep in their dreams, didn't even have time to change their clothes, so they hurriedly ran out of the house to put out the fire.
These guards were not paupers, but members of an underground organization that had been arranged here to protect the raw materials.
Flames spread across the endless poppy garden, engulfing everyone's eyes in an instant like larva moth larvae that marched together.
Finished.
It's almost half of Roqueshire's raw material supplied!
If the above is investigated, it is that the heads of all the people here are not enough to be cut off.
The farmer in charge of the area was also woken up by his men on a tall building, and immediately recovered from his panic.
Standing on a tall building, he saw it more clearly than anyone else, and he saw it more thoroughly.
Although the sea of fire is out of control, it has not yet been connected.
It is clear that there is more than one point of fire.
In other words, this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
"There are ten squads, four teams stand here, here, and there to prevent the fire from spreading, and six teams are responsible for water supply. ”
The farmer calmly gave the order.
The guard next to him received the order and was about to leave, but was stopped by the farmer again.
"Pick a few strong men and gather with me at once.
The guard's eyes were a little puzzled, but he still took the order.
"My instincts were good, but unfortunately I ran into them. ”
A man stepped out of the shadows behind the farmer.
"It's a little late to find the guards now, isn't it?"
The farmer slowly turned to look at the culprit with his face covered, and said with a smile:
"It's just a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, so easy to fall for it? ”
He clapped his hands: "Come out, take this guy down!"
But after a few breaths, there was no movement except for the echo of clapping hands echoing in all directions.
"Hahaha, lure the snake out of the hole?"
The masked man's tone changed in an instant, and he became extremely cold.
"Now who is the hunter and who is the prey?"
Behind him was a raging sea of fire, but now the farmer only felt that his whole body was surrounded by cold.
He knew that the guards who had been buried in the shadows had been dealt with by the masked man in front of him.
"Why are you doing this?!"
"Why?"
The masked man stepped forward and slowly approached.
"Combined with what you've done, why don't you know why!?"
"You have to think clearly! You are still very young, right? I have seen a lot of young and frivolous young people like you. ”
"So what?"
When the farmer saw him reply, he felt that there was still a glimmer of hope:
"We're a department of the Six Wings, you've heard of the Six Wings, you've definitely heard of it!"
"It's just an organization that hides underground. ”
The masked man responded coldly.
"No, it's not as simple as you think!
"Do you want to blackmail me with this? Do you think I'm standing here now, and I'm still afraid of your pursuit?"
Under the masked man's hidden face, he seemed to smile: "Besides, the dead man can't speak." What is it called, there is no proof of death. ”
Crazy, definitely a madman!
The farmer was frightened by the approaching killing intent and hurriedly retreated to the windowsill.
"No, I definitely didn't mean that!"
"Give you ten seconds to explain what you mean, maybe it's more comfortable to die. ”
"Join us, I hope you join us! An assassin like you can definitely get ahead in the underworld department! When the time comes, you can have whatever you want, who can't help you!"
The farmer's panicked face was illuminated by the light of a deathly fire, and he expected a reply.
"Boring. ”
The masked man mercilessly raised the blade, which was dyed red by the light, like a messenger from hell, announcing the arrival of death.
"Your Excellency!"
Five or six guards rushed through the door, and seeing that the intruder was about to die, they immediately rushed over with a preemptive voice!
Shout!
The throwing knife slashed through the eyes of the distracted masked man, and although it missed the target, it managed to pull away.
In the blink of an eye, the masked man was surrounded by the guards.
"Hahaha, what's the matter! This is what offends our six wings!"
The farmer seemed to feel victory imminent and rose from the ground.
"I'll give you another chance, would you like to join us at Six Wings?"
Although he is very powerful at solving four ambushes, he definitely can't beat five or six elites together.
After all, ambushes are only useful when people don't expect them, and if they are discovered, they will distract their combat effectiveness.
Responsibility for the burning of poppy orchards cannot be escaped, and the farmer can also be interpreted as a natural fire that exempts some of the punishment.
But if you recruit a good Assassin, you can make up for it, and maybe you can be appreciated.
For a moment, the audience fell silent, except for the occasional crackling sound outside the house.
Finally, the masked man spoke.
"Looks like it's going to be ten seconds longer. ”
"What do you mean?"
At the moment when the farmer was puzzled, the masked man took advantage of the others' inattention to throw out a few hidden weapons, and quickly closed the distance between him and one of the guards, and raised his knife in his hand.
Before the stabbed man could scream, the cold light flashed into the body of the other person.
Ten seconds.
In just ten seconds, all the guards who had just surrounded the masked man fell to the ground.
The weapon was smeared with an instant onset of paralyzing poison.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the farmer wanted to turn around and climb over the guardrail and jump down, but was preempted by the masked man.
I only felt severe pain in my legs, and I lost sensation in the back half of my body.
was paralyzed.
The farmer collapsed on the guardrail in despair.
The masked man walked in calmly.
The fires that lit up the sky were not extinguished until near dawn.
"That's a great job!"
Fan Yiling took the thick stack of papers and sat down at the table in the small dark room with joy.
"Little brother, I really didn't mistake you!"
"Uncle Wang has won the award. ”
At this time, Yu Dongshui and the three of them were exchanging information in that secret little black room.
In between Fan Yiling's reading documents, Yu Dongshui and the middle-aged man stood.
"Uncle Wang, do you know that this drug production base is related to Six Wings?"
"This possibility has been speculated before, so I asked you, an outsider, to help. ”
Uncle Wang said to Dongshui with some apologies: "Don't worry, if the six wings want to find trouble, we can protect you." ”
"Well, I still trust you on that. ”
Yu Dongshui said: "If you don't guess wrong, you are Fan Guangyu's people who are guarded by Fan County, right?"
Uncle Wang's eyes jumped, and he sighed: "It's worthy of being a little brother, this can be detected by you." ”
"In that case, I don't know if you've heard that Fan Junshou has a doorman named Guanyuan?"
"Guanyuan, it's a little familiar, is it a friend of the little brother?"
"That's right, I'll go to his house for a while. ”
"That's fine, there's still a care in this Rockshire town. ”
Yu Dongshui nodded in agreement, looked back at Fan Yiling, who had a somewhat solemn expression, and continued to ask:
"Uncle Wang, can you tell me the known information of the Six Wings?"
"I'm sorry to get you involved. ”
Uncle Wang apologized again and said to Dongshui:
"The Six Wings are huge criminal gangs that hide in the shadows, and together they run an unimaginable criminal web. ”
"At present, all we know is that there are hackers who act as protective umbrellas, drug lords who grow and sell drugs, some underground casinos, and the underworld. ”
"Originally, there was a slave trade. But it has been decades since the abolition of slavery in Begret, and the time of the Immortal Emperor was also forbidden to trade in people, a sector that has developed for a short time, and we do not think that there is still a place in the East. ”
Yu Dongshui nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, what you are afraid of now is only the retaliation of the hacker department?"
"Yes. First, I don't know how high the level of the hacker has become, and second, I don't know how the Six Wings operate. ”
Uncle Wang said with some concern: "However, Fan Junshou is the earl of Roqueshire, and he has military power, and I believe that ordinary officials do not dare to be unfavorable to Fanjunshou for uncertain things." ”
"This is also based on the premise that this incident is not associated with you for a while. ”
Yu Dongshui hit the nail on the head, and Uncle Wang's tone was more worried.
"Yes, and count on the hard evidence in those documents to protect the county guard. ”
After a moment of silence, Van Eiling stood up with some heaviness.
The beautiful young lady, who was originally innocent and lively, now realized the seriousness of the incident and said to them:
"Uncle Wang, Charlie. This shows that the hacking department is indeed associated with them. ”
"And the Hackers Department not only has a large number of eyeliners in Roqueshire, but also has people serving on the Emperor's side in Iaur. ”
Van Yiling took a deep breath and continued, "At the beginning of each month, Iaur sends emissaries to collect and examine the growth of drugs. ”
Uncle Wang's eyes froze.
It was already the end of the month, and the messenger was coming to Rockshire.
It seems that it is impossible to block the information first in a short period of time.
Serving by the emperor's side, if you make some remarks to the emperor that are not conducive to Fan Junshou, the consequences can be described as very serious.
Van Eyling's originally fascinating eyes also lowered, and he said:
"And that's not the main thing. On the last few pages of the newsletter, the farmer received information that we were careful. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder on the ground, and Uncle Wang felt that the world was spinning for a while:
The plan was revealed from the start!?
The thirtieth day of the Eternal Emperor month of the Holy Emperor calendar.
Yu Dongshui came to Guanyuan's mansion, explained his intention to the person who opened the door and showed Guanyuan's brocade, and was invited to wait in the hall.
For this mansion, it is also a top-notch existence in the city of Rockshire. Judging from the area alone, it is comparable to the mansion of Viscount Keto.
This also shows how much Fan Junshou favors him.
It was almost time to finish drinking a cup of tea, and Guan Yuan dragged his tired body to the hall.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Brother Dongshui. ”
Guan Yuan came to the main seat.
"It's okay, thanks to the kindness of the official, Yu can sit here. ”
"Haha. Guan Yuan's voice was a little difficult: "Between you and me, there is no need to call it that." ”
"That's great, I don't have that habit of talking. ”
Yu Dongshui said: "It seems that you are entangled in some things, old official, come out and see what this magic king can do to help you." ”
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, you know about the fire the night before yesterday, right?"
"Well, I'm right there-" Yu Dongshui paused: "Those who work nearby, when I look at it the next morning, I hold the grass, and it's dark!"
"It's not just a fire. ”
Guan Yuan continued: "The burned farm was found to be a drug production site for opium poppy cultivation, and the farmer disappeared. ”
"Are you afraid of getting caught?"
Yu Dongshui recalled the scene of the cremated farmer and a few guards.
"It should be so, but although the city of Rockshire was closed for the first time and a carpet check was conducted, it was still not found. ”
You can find me with your last name.
Yu Dongshui quietly picked up the topic: "What happened later?"
"Later, uh, the sheriff received a document from an unknown person about the farm. ”
"The county warden was furious and ordered me to investigate the matter strictly, and asked Shun Teng to find out where the drugs were going. ”
Guan Yuan had a distressed expression.
"I may not be able to help with this. ”
Yu Dongshui pretended to be helpless and said.
Suddenly realized a very serious problem!
"Is the port also closed!?"
Guan Yuan was taken aback by the excited Yu Dongshui, and nodded stunned: "It's completely closed in the past few days, but it should be open in the middle of next month." ”
"But until the results of my investigation are available, the port will be very strict - why do you ask this?"
Yu Dongshui didn't answer immediately, but after careful consideration, he said, "Have you ever considered that the farmer is dead?"
"Dead? Well, was it destroyed by his peers? You mean someone invaded, set fire to the garden, and then killed the farmer?"
"No, no, no, no, don't think in that direction! Maybe, it could be suicide for fear of sin!"
Don't get it on me! Although the killing is a crime, once it is completely involved, it will do all kinds of harm and no benefit.
"Suicide in fear of sin?"
Guan Yuan frowned and shook his head: "Those who do this kind of thing are people who are not afraid of death." If it is not found within a month, it is not impossible to declare the suspect dead. ”
"Anyway, thank you, Lord Magic, for providing me with an idea. ”
"No, it's fine. ”
After that, Guan Yuan arranged a room for Yu Dongshui to live in.
In the next month, in addition to having nothing to do with Guan Yuan to learn about the process, it was to help the eldest sister leave, and Lu Zhixing became the boss of the Xuanmi Gang.
Life was peaceful.
But thousands of kilometers away, in Iaur, events are taking place that can go down in history.
