Chapter 35: The Overseer's Clues
The two walked all the way to the Zongmen horse farm located at the foot of the mountain.
After showing their identity cards, they each paid two contribution points, rented two red-blooded treasure horses, and headed all the way in the direction of Chuanjiang City.
The red-blooded treasure horse is a tall and divine horse, belonging to a strange beast, and can travel thousands of miles a day.
And Chuanjiang City is only four hundred miles away from the station of Da Luozong.
Running non-stop all the way.
In the afternoon of the same day, the two came to the mining area not far from the city of Chuanjiang.
Immediately after showing the ID card, someone went in to notify you.
After a while, the person in charge of the mine personally greeted him.
"Haha! Welcome to the two grown-ups! ”
It was a middle-aged man with a rich face, a slightly short and fat figure, who walked forward briskly and smiled flatteringly.
"Two adults, the road inside is not easy to walk, why not leave the horse here?"
Jiang Heng and the others jumped off the horse.
The middle-aged man immediately summoned the two of them and gave a solemn order to lead the horse away, and then a smile appeared on his face.
While leading the two of them inside, he said:
"The two adults, below are the mine owners of the mine, named Gu Chengping, I don't know what to call the two?"
"My name is Jiang Heng."
"My name is Mi Wenjie."
"Master Jiang, Master Mi, I must have been tired of traveling, I have already ordered someone to prepare wine and food for the two of you."
Jiang Heng raised his hand to stop it.
"No, just tell us about the incident."
Qi and Blood Pill is the best food, so Jiang Heng has not eaten ordinary meals for a long time, after all, there are too many impurities.
Gu Chengping looked at the two of them, and his eyes fell on Mi Wenjie.
As the person in charge of the industry under the name of Da Luozong, he can naturally see their respective identities from the uniforms of the two.
Jiang Heng, who was wearing a cyan martial arts uniform, was an outer disciple.
Mi Wenjie, who was wearing a blue martial arts uniform, was an inner disciple.
Generally speaking, if the two of them are present at the same time, it must be the opinion of the inner disciples.
Therefore, the leader of the two people on this trip should be Mi Wenjie.
"This mission is led by Senior Brother Jiang, and it is up to him."
Mi Wenjie said with a reluctant smile.
Gu Chengping was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately said:
"Okay! Then Master Jiang, let's go to the study first. ”
Several people turned around and soon arrived at Gu Chengping's study.
The three of them were seated.
Gu Chengping took out a file and handed it to the two, and at the same time introduced the relevant information of the incident to the two.
"The hematite extracted from our mine is quite valuable, and we will deliver goods to the Armory Hall fifty miles away every week, with a total value of about 200,000 taels."
"So, I suspect that a certain organization has targeted us, and after figuring out our route, it specially ambushed and robbed all the goods."
Jiang Heng and the others had also seen some information related to the mission in the sect, but after all, it was an urgent report, and it was not so detailed.
And the information in hand now clearly writes the time, place, and process of the incident.
The robbery incident occurred three days ago, and the three sect disciples stationed here escorted the convoy as always, but in a mountain road, they were suddenly robbed and killed, no one survived, and the goods disappeared without a trace.
"In the surrounding cities, has there been a large amount of red iron trading recently?"
Although it was unlikely that the other party would sell the stolen goods so quickly, Jiang Heng still asked subconsciously.
Sure enough, Gu Chengping shook his head.
"No, the other party was obviously prepared, and after the robbery, he immediately hid the stolen goods, and all the people disappeared."
"Next to the mountain road where the robbery was killed, there is a big mountain, I suspect that it may be temporarily hidden in the mountain by the other party, so I sent dozens of people to search in the mountain, but the mountain area is too large, the terrain is complicated, so far I have not found any effective clues."
Jiang Heng pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"Convoy of transports, how many wagons are there?"
Gu Chengping was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Ten cars." ”
"How much does it weigh? Will it leave a clear indentation on the ground? ”
"A car is about 8,000 catties, but that mountain road is an important business road, and there are often merchants coming and going, even if there are indentations, it will be covered by other traces."
Jiang Heng pondered for a moment.
In the current intelligence, there are no useful clues at all, and there is no direction for thinking at all.
Jiang Heng had never investigated the case, and he couldn't figure it out.
He simply gave up thinking, looked at Mi Wenjie, and asked indifferently:
"Senior Brother Mi, what do you think about this?"
Mi Wenjie glanced at Jiang Heng and then at Gu Chengping.
"Go and call the Overseer."
Gu Chengping immediately nodded and turned to leave.
Jiang Heng asked curiously:
"What is an Overseer?"
"There are many industries under the name of the sect, and the interests involved are too huge, even with the strength of the sect, it is inevitable that there will be people who take risks."
"So, in every big industry, there are guards and watchdogs."
"The division of labor between the two types of duties is different."
"The garrison is responsible for the protection of force, and the supervisor is only responsible for operational records, operation supervision, and regular reporting to the sect."
"Although the overseers are only responsible for gathering information about the operations within the mine, they may be able to find any clues from them."
After a while, Gu Chengping walked over with a middle-aged man wearing the blue uniform of Da Luo Zong.
"Two senior brothers!"
The middle-aged man, as an outer disciple, shouted very politely when he entered the door.
The two nodded, and then motioned for Gu Chengping to retreat.
After briefly introducing themselves to each other, the trio got to the point.
"Senior Brother Fang, have there been any unusual incidents in the mine recently?"
Fang Xiong, a middle-aged man, said in a deep voice: "Yes! ”
"Three days ago in the evening, a small building in the mine was burned, and five miners were in the building and died."
Jiang Heng and the two couldn't help but glance at each other.
I thought there was no clue about the case just now, but in a blink of an eye, clues appeared.
Three days ago, on the day of the robbery.
If the two are not related, no one will believe it.
Jiang Heng asked:
"Do you usually have similar accidents?"
Fang Xiong shook his head.
"Rarely, there is a lot of safety in the mine, and there are not two fatalities a year."
"Besides, even if there is an accident, it is usually an accident inside the mine, and there is basically no outside."
"What about the bodies of the dead?"
"It's been cremated into the ground."
"The deaths of several people are likely to be related to the robbery and murder, why were they cremated so soon?"
Jiang Heng frowned.
Fang Xiong hurriedly explained:
"Senior Brother Jiang, the duties of the supervisor are clearly stipulated, and they are only responsible for recording some developments in the industry, and we are not allowed to meddle in any of their actions if they do not explicitly harm the interests of the sect."
"So, we just recorded it and didn't interfere."
The two then asked for some more information, but apart from the accident, there was nothing unusual.
