Chapter 148: Evidence Emerges
Caterina got the list of guards who were guarding outside the room from Wu Qi, and found two of them, confirming that the situation at that time was basically the same as she said.
If that's the case, it's important to find out why no one came to inform you in time.
At noon, when Caterina and Tang Feng converged, they talked to him about this matter, and Tang Feng said: "I asked here about a situation that can be corroborated with you, Huang Zheng has long said that he has never seen Zhang Hong from beginning to end. I asked a lot of people about it. Anyone who appeared by Shi Hao's side, no one had seen Zhang Hong before Shi Hao's sacrifice. ”
So Zhang Hong said that he had received instructions from Shi Hao, which was probably fake. Caterina said.
Tang Feng took out his notebook and drew a scroll on it: "Let's sort out the timeline and fill in everything we have done." First of all, the last time someone saw Zhang Hong before retreating, was when they saw Shi Hao and Zhang Hong talking in the cafeteria, and the time that several witnesses said had a range, about 5:00 and 5:10.
The time of the first explosion was 6:10. The time is conclusive, and many people have looked at the time when they hear the explosion.
Zhang Hong began to organize the rear troops to prepare for retreat, which was about 7:00. ”
Caterina added, "It was about 6:22 when Shen Yuan went to look for Shi Hao, and there were Wu Qi and a few guards to prove it.
The time for Zhang Hong and Suero to communicate was 6:40, which was the time recorded by the communication station on Suero's side and Heimu Pass, and Wu Qi also brought out the communication log when he retreated.
Zhang Hong reported to Suero that there was a problem with the teleportation array at 6:46.
The report of the bad situation outside is 6:51, and these are also well-documented times.
Finally, according to Wu Qi and the guards, after Zhang Hong finished the report, he proposed to Suero that he help guide the retreat, and it is estimated that he left the communication station after a minute or two. ”
"Very good, these lines are no problem to string, and Zhang Hong's itinerary is also very interesting. Now we have to fill in the middle gap. Now there are a few doubts. Tang Feng added the time point they knew on the axis, and then wrote a (1) below, and then recorded as he wrote, "First, what was Zhang Hong doing between five and six o'clock? Second, who did Shi Hao arrange to report this situation to Wang Jiyuan, and why didn't he appear in the communication room? Third, what happened to Shen Yuan? Fourth, why did the teleportation array break?"
"It's not the right time to ask Zhang Hong the first question. Caterina said.
"I'm afraid of startling the snake, you're right. Tang Feng drew a circle on the second question, "I have a direction for this question." I found a soldier from Shi Hao's guard class, this is the only survivor of his guard class, if it wasn't for Shi Hao asking him to inform the surrounding troops to retreat, he would have died in front of the north gate with Shi Hao. He had been seriously injured in the previous days and had just woken up today. I'll ask in the afternoon. ”
He then circled the four again and said, "As for the fourth question, I will leave it to you, we have experts in this area, Lorenzo of the Tower of Inheritance Talismans came to support this side yesterday, you can take Wu Qi to find him." In the evening, we'll summarize the situation. ”
————————————————
Alexander, a soldier of the guard squad, was lying on the hospital bed and recounted what happened that day in a weak voice: "At that time, we were all in the headquarters, that is, the city lord's mansion, and Commander Shi sent Cheng Platoon Commander, that is, Cheng Jing, to inform us to go to the north gate to assemble and fight...... At that time, everyone was very nervous, and I heard our squad leader Prott ask if he had informed Suero when the reinforcements would arrive? At that time, Platoon Commander Cheng mentioned that he had met Zhang Hong on the road, and Zhang Hong said that he would go to the communication room and ask Platoon Commander Cheng to go directly to mobilize troops. ”
"Zhang Hong is not a member of your escort army, nor is he Cheng Jing's superior, Cheng Jing is violating the rules by doing this, right?" asked Tang Feng.
Alexander shook his head again and again and said: "That being said, but the situation at that time was very urgent, Platoon Commander Cheng said that there was no guard by Commander Shi at that time, it was too dangerous, he was afraid that it would be a waste of time to run to the communication room in the opposite direction, so he did it, but until the end, the reinforcements did not come, and he regretted it later." ”
"Is it possible that anyone saw Cheng Jing and Zhang Hong together?" Tang Feng asked again.
"I don't know about this...... Alexander suddenly paused, "Cheng Jing once mentioned that he had just walked up to the hill where the communication room was located, and he bumped into Zhang Hong. Based on the direction he came to us, I should be able to deduce the approximate location. ”
Tang Feng took out the map drawn by Huang Zheng and asked Alexander to find out where they might meet according to Cheng Jing's account.
Alexander carefully drew three circles with his pen, "These three places all correspond to what he said." But I don't know exactly which one it is. ”
"In fact, it is already very clear that if Zhang Hong really wants to affect the communication between Kuroki Pass and Suero, the place he chose should be easier to observe the situation in the communication room and the teleportation room. Tang Feng stretched out his hand and nodded on one of the circles, "Only here does it meet such a requirement." ”
Immediately afterward, he hooked up three patrols and a magic detection post, "It's up to these people to see what happened that day." ”
Tang Feng came out of Alexander's hospital room. He got a list from Wang Jiyuan non-stop, and then checked the people who appeared on it one by one.
These people are located relatively backward in Heimu Pass, but they are relatively well preserved. Tang Feng inquired for an afternoon and asked more than a dozen people, but nothing came of it.
But when he asked the twenty-first man, he gave an answer that made him excited.
Su Degao, the leader of a patrol team, said: "That's right, I glanced over there when I was passing by on patrol. Cheng Jing and Zhang Hong did talk there, and it was a little dark at that time, but when the two of them were talking, most of their faces were facing the direction of the sunset, and I could see it very clearly.
At that time, Zhang Hong seemed to be assuring Cheng Jing of something, and Cheng Jing left without saying a few words. ”
Tang Feng asked, "Did you look normal when you left?"
"It's normal, but the only problem is that after Cheng Jing left, Zhang Hong stood almost motionless, and didn't look like he was doing anything at all. ”
"I didn't know what they were talking about. But according to what you said now, I suspect that Zhang Hong deliberately did not report it, because my team could pass that point several times before and after, Zhang Hong stood there for at least ten minutes, and it is really strange to think about it now!"
