Chapter 47: Betraying the Outpost?
Hearing this, Bell was stunned for a moment, could it be ...... We killed the wrong person that night? Was that a trap to lure the survivors? Let's listen to Loren.
"But that night the quarantine was attacked, and the murderer not only killed all the guards, but also set fire to the quarantine center. The fire burned quickly, and only three people survived, and we thought it was the work of a conspiring colleague, so we immediately launched a search operation. The killer seemed to be very cunning, and we didn't get anything out of the night. Until a massive search after dawn. Only then did I find that the two teams of ambush soldiers at the intersection of Messier Village had all been killed. "Loren doesn't seem to be in a lot of pain.
"When the search team entered the village of Messier, they found nothing. One clue caught our attention, and that was that the village of Messier has been plagued by bandits for many years, and people have been going missing recently. No sooner had we turned our attention to the bandits than a teenager came outside the outpost and confessed to attacking the quarantine post, and after we quickly captured him, we learned that it was all a plan of a group of robbers in the jungle. Loren shook his head, as if thinking about something.
"Why a teenager? a young robber?" Bell felt very heartwarming about someone being scapegotten.
Loren sighed, "This is the point I want to say." On the night of the incident, guards at the guard tower said that two sentries had left the quarantine center, and that the fire broke out shortly after. Later, after the doctor's identification, there was a fierce battle in the isolation center, seven people were killed with sharp weapons, and a charred body was found in the back of the house, which must have been a guard, and the neck was broken alive. ”
Speaking of such a thing, Luo Lun paid careful attention to An Esha's expression, after all, she is a woman, and she may not be comfortable when she hears such a bloody thing. Fortunately, it seems that there is nothing unusual about An'esha, which makes Luo Lun a little surprised, "It is not difficult to find that these eight people are the eight people sent to guard the isolation center, and the two pretenders who escaped." Among those who were rescued later, some said that they saw the appearance of the attacker, and that he was a young man. According to the surviving caravan owner, he had seen the boy before, and when he entered the outpost during the day, the boy seemed very excited. ”
The caravan boss?The mustache?The guy who almost killed himself!He didn't die!?Bell's heart sank!The caravan boss had faced him with his own eyes, and he survived, so there was no reason to point out the mistake!?
Loren frowned a little when he saw Bell, and probably felt that what he said was a little too round, but things were really messy, and he didn't know how to be more concise, so he had to speed up his speech, "This kind of matter is very serious, the commander ordered me to try it myself, and in the conversation with the caravan owner, I learned that the person he saved was the villager of Loire. And the people who attacked him were also looking for these people, and it seems that the boy was also from the village of Loire. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Lun gritted his teeth and sighed, "When I asked about the physical characteristics of the young man, he didn't say anything, maybe he was too frightened." But I always felt that he was hiding something from me, until a young man from outside the outpost turned himself in, and as soon as he saw the young man, he immediately ascertained that he was the one who committed the crime that night. ”
"What about the boy?" Bell looked at Loren suspiciously, what Luo Lun said was completely different from what he analyzed, An'esa and Ko Ning. What the hell is going on?
Loren raised his head and looked at the night sky at the outpost, "The boy only said that he was a robber from beginning to end, and he had nothing to do with Loire. Their purpose was to target the nearest blockade of the outpost, which was contrary to what I knew, and by the time I tried to ask the merchant about it, he was gone. We had to think it was a robber. ”
"What does this have to do with women and children?" Bell didn't know what Loren was trying to say.
Bell's question provoked Loren to laugh wryly, "Remember what I just said, the sentry team that was killed near the Loire? At the time, I thought that the person he saved was a spy, but what happened later made it impossible for me to think about things so simply. ”
"I asked the Commander what the situation was now, and he didn't answer my question directly. Seems to have been running away from this. With doubts in mind, I went to Loire myself, and I remember that night a fire that had never been seen before was lit in the direction of Loire. But when I got there, all I saw was scorched earth. It wasn't like a spy hunt, and the blood-stained ground told me it wasn't!" Loren sighed.
"The attitude of the commander, and what I saw before my eyes, told me that things are not that simple. When I went to inspect several ambushes as an adjutant, I finally got the answer!"
Loren's face was gloomy: "The task of the ambush is to rob and kill all the villagers of Loire! Block the roads of all the surrounding villages, only allow them to leave! No entry! Once you find a suspicious person! You can immediately behead them!"
Bell and Anesa had already guessed this, but when they heard the adjutant of the outpost say it, they were still extremely angry!
"How can this be? Don't even let women and children go?!!" Bell gritted his teeth and glared with rage!
Seeing Bell look like this, Loren's heart became more steady, so that he could definitely win the appreciation of these two nobles! Using the shady curtain of the outpost in exchange for the sympathy of good people, he stood on the moral high ground, and believed that he could rely on this to climb the high branch of Docs Kibrand!
Luo Lun shook his head silently, "I didn't expect it to be like this, the sentry team on duty seems to have received a secret order from the commander." I don't know why the Commander didn't tell me, maybe he knew I was the only decent person in this outpost. ”
Hearing this, Bell was eager to tell the outpost about the outpost's collusion with the Lancer Empire, but he also thought about the secret of the badge. I opened my mouth but still didn't confide in me.
"Adjutant Loren, didn't you continue to secretly investigate this matter?" Annesha listened for a long time, just now she was still feeling sorry for the misfortune that happened to Loire, but when she heard Loren claiming to be an upright person, she was a little suspicious. Since Loren had never been informed of the commander's secret orders, he must have been the one who was excluded by Shumilott, so why did he arrange for him to be alone with us? It is clear that Shumillot wanted to use our power to find the fleeing villagers.
"I've been investigating this matter lately, but unfortunately I was sent by the commander to the border fortress before the Loire accident. I guess he deliberately pulled me apart. Loren went around in circles and pulled himself out of the conspiracy entirely.
Bell and Anesa glanced at each other, and regardless of whether the wrong person was killed in the quarantine center, or the outpost carried out that kind of order, these people should be killed completely! After confirming such a secret order from the outpost, the matter of saving people is imminent! The map must be obtained!
"I wrote down what Brother Loren said, don't worry, we will never help him to kill those women and children. On the contrary, we will help you find out about it, and when all the facts are revealed!, I think the guilty will go to hell!" Bell looked at Loren resolutely, and there was a hint of adoration in his eyes.
Hearing the word hell, An Elsa pursed her lips and went to hell? Is hell really that bad? This is not the time to sigh, following Bell's meaning, An Elsa stepped forward half a step, "You are a good person, we will help you figure things out." This massacre of civilians will be judged!"
