Chapter 224: Tracing (1)
Somewhere in the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Ye Guyun and Roddick both looked back and forth with gloomy faces, very careful and cautious, in front of them, a criminal investigation team composed of the elite of the city guard and the elite of the hooligans was working hard.
This is a murder scene, the scene of an assassination of the victim. It was here that the assassins(s) instructed by the Black Hands set up an ambush and assassinate a group of chosen adventurers, and then forged traces to blame the adventurers of the other faction, thus provoking a fire between the two factions.
There are many such sites, and this is just one of them, and it is also the fifth place that Ye Guyun and Roddick have visited today.
Of course, this is a search for the Assassins, hoping to catch the Assassins first and uncover the mastermind behind the scenes, which seems to be the most reliable and feasible strategy in a reality where there is only conjecture and no much evidence.
It would have been necessary to conduct a most careful and detailed investigation of all the occasions in which the Assassins had been active, rather than the conclusion of the self-investigation of the adventurers who had been tricked by others. Unfortunately, after careful and meticulous investigation, no new valuable clues were found.
At least there were no surprises in the previous four places, and the fifth one doesn't look like a surprise.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the person in charge of the criminal investigation team to come to the two of them, with a regretful look on his face: "There is no dispute, this is a typical ambush scene, the ambusher first carried out a round of spell bombardment through the device, then a round of arrow rain, and finally ended with a white-knuckle battle. The means are universal, the ambusher can be anyone, however, we have not found any traces of anyone other than the adventurers from the opposing camp......"
Roddick summed it up first: "So, the conclusion is exactly the same as what those idiots have done their own research?"
The person in charge smiled helplessly: "Yes." ”
Roddick put his head on the door: "Ouch, the mastermind behind this is too clever!"
The person in charge spread his hands: "If it weren't for the insistence of the two of you, I wouldn't even think that there is a so-called mastermind behind the scenes." ”
Roddick smiled: "You are not very clever in questioning~!"
Ye Guyun suddenly asked, "How many ambushers are there in total?"
The person in charge smiled bitterly again: "Maybe it's a team, maybe it's a few people, maybe even one person...... Sorry, no answer. ”
Roddick glared exaggeratedly, and exclaimed, "No? I don't know? Hey, what's the matter with you? Can't even figure out the number of ambushers? And every time! Please! Can you give us some confidence? Don't let us think we're bringing a fake criminal investigation team!"
The person in charge replied embarrassedly: "As you said, the mastermind behind the scenes is too clever to let us see only the ...... she wants us to see"
Roddick cut off disdainfully, and said disdainfully: "You can cover up your incompetence with opinions that you even question?"
The person in charge was red-faced, ashamed and ashamed, completely speechless, and had to wipe the sweat on his head. Anyway, Ye Guyun helped him out, and then asked, "Who are the victims?"
The person in charge immediately checked the information in his hand: "It's a six-person mercenary team, the captain is called Fido, a warrior, and the other members have another warrior, a mage, a stalker, a priest and an archer, hehe, the configuration is quite reasonable and complete, but their reputation is not very good, although they are not enough to kill people like hemp, but they can't escape the evil deeds and bad deeds - hey! It's funny, in fact, all the victims are of this type, they are all bad people in the general sense, Villains, the kind that deserve to be punished, are not worthy of pity. If it weren't for the fact that I knew that there was a mastermind behind the scenes who secretly designed all this, I would really think that there was a powerful thief who was killing the police and punishing the adulterers for the people......"
The person in charge is obedient this time, and always remembers to admit the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes before expressing his opinion, Roddick expressed satisfaction, but Ye Guyun didn't care what he was saying at all, his attention was already attracted by a name.
Fido?I'm a little impressed, I think I've heard it somewhere......
I thought about it for a while, and I remembered—do you remember Pat? It had something to do with Pat! Wasn't the guy who led the team in the dark alley that night to besiege Pat and his party with more people and less people (see Chapter 162)
That's right, there was also an archer named Zeiss in that team, because of his amazing demon-breaking arrows, Ye Guyun had always been impressed by him.
So, it was he who was killed, no, was it them?
The captain is right, the configuration and number of people in the team are right......
"Is that archer called Zeiss?" Ye Guyun hurriedly asked.
"Huh?" the person in charge was stunned, looked down at the information, and replied, "Yes......"
Before he finished speaking, the information in his hand had been taken away by Ye Guyun, and looking at the empty fingers, the person in charge was stunned.
Ye Guyun had already checked it on his own, and after a quick glance, he immediately confirmed that this Fido was Pifido, and it was the team that had ambushed and killed others that night that he had seen that night, however, before he had time to sigh a word of retribution, his brows furrowed deeply.
A new suspicion was discovered——
"Why are there only five corpses?" and what about Zeiss the archer?"
"Missing. "No one knows where he is, no body, no tracks." ”
Ye Guyun was annoyed: "Just like that, you can attribute it to the murder of all the people?"
"It's about the same as the results of that group of fools~!" Roddick went straight to the truth, "But, unfortunately, this result is not very reliable." Why? Because, predictably, those idiots are not going to look into this. See, the whole team is hung up, there is no direct sufferer, no one is crying all the time, so why would those fools go to great lengths to find the last survivor for a supposedly friendly team that has already ended? For justice? For mercy? Hey, don't be stupid! Adventurers will have many things on them, but these two are really rare! So, they will look for them casually and do their best! If they can't find it, they will be considered dead!"
The person in charge wiped his sweat again: "However, judging from the amazing strength shown by the assassins, it is indeed unlikely that the archer will be spared......"
Ye Guyun shook his head and objected repeatedly: "No, no, it is precisely because the strength of the assassin(s) is so amazing that it is possible that the archer is not dead...... You have to think of it this way, all the victims were killed neatly, and the bodies were clearly left behind, so why should only that archer be an exception? Was it special treatment? But why did the powerful and ruthless assassins treat that archer so specially?"
Ye Guyun spread his hands: "Of course, there can be many speculations in this, but the most likely one is that he didn't die, he hid from the assassin and survived the assassination, whether it was a fluke or ability." However, he was frightened, fearing that he would be pursued further by the Assassins, so he hastened to hide deeply. ”
He clenched his fists: "In other words, if we find this archer, we will hopefully find out the gang of assassins who are wreaking havoc and don't take us seriously at all!"
