Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Cases
Aclay picked up the photo, he was now familiar with these magical little things of the Chinese, and there was no surprise at the beginning.
This stack of photos is all about a young warrior who died. He was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and was supposed to be a native of the kingdom.
He had wounds on his arms and chest, which were not serious, but his throat had been slashed by a knife. As can be seen from other photos, the place where he died was the woods outside the recruit training camp in Riverbend New Town. Aclair observed the location of his death. The discovery is almost identical to the location where he himself encountered the black-clad archer in the illusion.
It's just that this Rodman's strength is obviously not as good as him, or his luck is not as good as him. He must have clashed with the black-clad archer, but this time the black-clad archer did not come alone, a total of two enemies attacked him together, one with a sword and the other with a knife, he was besieged by the two, and finally killed by the knifeman.
"It's him, judging from the angle and location of his wounds, the person who killed him should be the black-clad archer who was killed by me in my dream. After looking at the photos from all angles, Aclair concluded, "I still remember the combat moves of the black-clad archer, and if he was killed, it would have been from this angle." These people seem to be very obsessed with the information here. ”
"That's right. About two weeks after Rodman's death, another warrior, Thomas, disappeared during the armed off-road, when the procession was wide open and the terrain was so complicated that no one else running before or behind him noticed that he was missing. After a long search by the Guards and our intelligence department, his body was found in a mountain col. Li Ze took out another file bag, which was a photo of the corpse of another soldier, the place where he died was a deep mountain and old forest, the person was tied up, and dozens of stabs were stabbed on the body, most of the knife wounds were not in the vital parts, only the last fatal wound cut his throat. Obviously, he was tortured, but in the end, his captors did not let him go.
Li Zedao: "From the analysis of the footprints left and the knife wounds on the corpse, we believe that this kidnapping and the previous death of Rodman were committed by the same two people, and the two cases before and after are directly related." The enemy did not receive information from Rodman, so they looked for a second target. Now it seems that the second goal was not very successful either. So they're thinking of a third way. And you should be the person they consider to manipulate. ”
"But I'm just an engineer, and I don't have much value, right?" said Aclay.
"No, you're underestimating your own worth. You are a very good fit. Luo Ling analyzed: "First of all, your family has a grudge against us, speaking of which, the Tower of China has a grudge against you for killing your father and your brother, and you yourself have been imprisoned in our prison, they must believe that you are instinctively disgusted with our rule, and will secretly want to find an opportunity to take revenge on us."
Secondly, you have a good military education of this era, and you have enough analytical skills to judge the value of weapons and magic and provide them with the most useful information, which many ordinary soldiers cannot do.
Finally, you have a younger brother who can control you through him. I believe that the Greenwood City side is not strict with your brother's monitoring and protection now, because the Duke will not need him to claim the land for the time being. This allowed the people in black to be able to kidnap him without much effort.
All these conditions should be seen by the people in black, who have grudges, abilities, and handles, so you become a very good choice. ”
Aclair was stunned for a moment, and found that Luo Ling's analysis was really reasonable. In this way, he is indeed a good prey. As long as these guys insist on stealing intelligence from the Chinese, he can easily get into their sight.
He said with some regret: "It's a pity that in the fantasy world, we didn't track down and find out who these people were. Otherwise, it would be a little more directional now. ”
"There are clues that these people may be from the Shadow Circle of the Nature Temple. Li Ze said.
"It's them...... But then again, the things in the Tower of China are really enough to attract the prying eyes of any force. Aklee thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the Shadow Regiment of the Royal Capital will not be involved in intelligence work in this area. Most likely, it's the Shadowbolts' Southwestern Branch. But it is not necessarily the branch itself that is behind the instructions for them to do this, it may be much larger. ”
"You mean the headquarters of the Natural Temple?" Li Ze said.
"yes, otherwise I would hardly imagine a branch being so concerned about you stealing your technology. Aklew's words made Li Ze fall into thought.
Luo Ling said: "It's all just speculation now, you need to verify it yourself." ”
"I see. Aclay nodded, "Your Excellency Luo Ling, how do you want me to act?"
"I can provide you with help, but in addition to saving your brother, you also need to help me complete two tasks: the first task is to follow the vine and confirm the origin of those men in black, and then their outstretched hands will be knocked off so that they know not to provoke the Chinese." I don't want such a vicious group of spies to wander around us every day. The second task is to find out what is going on in Greenwood, so that we can prepare for the siege in two weeks' time, and it would be better if we could cause them trouble. ”
"Okay, I'll do it. Who would you have to temporarily assist me in my operations?" asked Aclair.
"Infiltrating Greenwood City in search of Julio will have Anar and Glade working with you. And I will lead a larger team to support you. As long as we find the whereabouts of the man in black, we will participate in the encirclement. We have analyzed that we should try to eliminate this variable before our attack on the Duke of Greenwood City begins. "However, our time is limited, and even if this operation is not successful, we must withdraw to Alvita within fifteen days to support the subsequent offensive operations." ”
"I see. But there's one thing I've never understood. Aclay looked at Luo Ling and asked with some hesitation, "Why do you care so much about me? It's hard to even say that you can be trusted. ”
Luo Ling smiled and said: "Some of us are able to see things that others can't see, maybe it's the past, maybe it's the future, you haven't proven yourself now, but in the scenes that some people see, you have proven something." Believe in your own worth, do your own thing, and we won't let you down. ”
