Chapter 391: Convoy
"Is there any movement?" Xiao Lin asked softly as he lay on the ground, staring at a winding intersection in the distance.
"I didn't feel any movement. Qin Ke shook his head, closing his eyes and sensing the wind and grass around him.
"Did I say that there will really be a convoy passing by here?" Mu Xuanyi asked softly, "We've been lying here for a long time, but not to mention the convoy, we haven't even seen a single figure." ”
"You have to be patient. Xiao Lin said that their group was lying on a small hill at this time, surrounded by withered yellow hay, the ground was covered with yellow sand, and they were even wearing earthy yellow combat clothes, completely hiding their bodies in a patch of yellow.
The reason why they are here is because after Suhe reported the situation of the griffon to his superiors, he was approved by the military department and the black court, and both powers decided that a cooperation was a better solution, and the Dragonheart Empire had no objection to this, so the two teams that met by chance were cooperating.
Subsequently, the Griffin Squad received information that a convoy was about to set off from another vein towards Chaos City, presumably to sell the latest batch of metal in exchange for a large amount of property.
Moreover, in the chaotic city, those outlaws are very coveted for this precious metal, after all, the money is also kept, if it can be converted into their own combat power, then it can naturally play a greater role, and the possibility of living in this chaotic city is also greater, rather than being beaten to death by other villains.
Therefore, once some forbidden items appear, everyone will choose to transport them to Chaos City to sell, so that they will not be hunted down by several major empires, after all, this is a lawless place, justice is difficult to survive here, and only evil that is more powerful than others can survive.
"You stay here, I'll go ahead and have a look. The griffin said to Sukh and the others.
"Okay. Such nodded, he was very comfortable with the griffon's methods, and it would be good for him to go and investigate.
The griffon's form flashed and swept into the distance, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't long before the griffin returned from a distance, and landed on the ground with a very ugly face, looking at Suhe and the others.
"What's going on?" Su He saw this, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart, and he always felt as if something had happened.
"The convoy was discovered. The griffin nodded, pointing into the distance and said, "It's not far ahead, but it's pretty bad." ”
"What do you mean?" Sukh then asked.
"All the horses in that convoy were wiped out, and the cargo was gone. The griffin said in a deep voice, his face becoming more and more unsightly.
"No wonder no one came to that turn. Mu Xuanyi muttered softly.
"No wonder I can't feel the breath of living creatures all the time. Qin Ke also whispered to himself.
"Go over and see. Sukh said.
That's exactly what I mean. The griffon nodded, "Maybe we can find some clues there." ”
The two squads sped off into the distance
Because the griffin team is basically composed of high-level abilities, they can fly directly from the air, while the Suhe team can only honestly advance from the ground, after all, Xiao Lin and the others want to master the ability to fly in the sky is still early, and they can only honestly use their feet for a long time.
Fortunately, the accident site of the convoy was not far from Xiao Lin and them, and their group did not spend too much time rushing to the place where the convoy had an accident.
"It's miserable. Xiao Lin looked at the scene of blood in front of him and muttered in a low voice. Ji Xuan'er's face was even pale, although this Nizi had gone through many missions, she was still afraid in the face of blood and corpses, and she didn't dare to take a straight look.
"The people who did it were very cruel. Sukh whispered, and not far from them, several broken arms and legs fell to the ground, blood spilling all over the ground.
The man's face was full of horror, and he was probably tortured to death. The griffin crouched next to a corpse, carefully observing the marks on it.
"It's still a little weird. Sukh looked at the overturned carriage and muttered quietly.
"What's wrong?" asked the griffon.
"Knowing that the goods they are transporting are very valuable and easy to be remembered, they still use the most primitive carriages?" Suhe muttered as he touched his chin, "they could have chosen the kind of vehicle with better protection, the carriage is so old." ”
"Maybe I think the carriage is relatively low-key, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others. "Go and take the following evidence, and gather information about your identity, and see if you can find out who they are." ”
As soon as the words fell, the members of the griffin squad immediately began to act, surveying the scene to collect evidence, and some people even directly moved out the sophisticated instruments to start testing on the spot.
"Can you judge the number of opponents?" Sukh asked, looking at the griffin.
"Obviously, you're better at it. The griffin smiled, "I'm not ugly." ”
"I'll see. Sukh squinted his eyes and walked around the scene of the crime, carefully observing the wounds on each body, as well as the trajectory of the vehicle and the direction of the flow of blood on the ground.
Xiao Lin quietly followed Su He's side, although he didn't know what method Su He was going to use to determine the opponent's course of action, but he just followed and watched anyway, if he could learn something, it would naturally be a good thing, and if he couldn't learn, he would have a long insight.
When Su He was working, Qin Ke and the others were not idle, and the big guys all took action and contributed their own strength.
Mu Xuanyi kept snorting, using the ability of the change system to distinguish the residual smell in the air, if he could eliminate the smell of the dead at the scene, and then eliminate their own smell, then the remaining smell remaining in the air would be the smell of the enemy.
Qin Ke closed his eyes and opened the spiritual enchantment to the maximum, perceiving every move around him, and using the vision of spiritual power to check whether there were any traces around him that were easy to be missed, these clues were often very critical and could even play a decisive role.
Ji Xuan'er put her hands on Qin Ke's shoulders
On her shoulder, a faint green light lit up on her white palm, and she was constantly restoring Qin Ke's mental power, which could allow him to let go of his hand to investigate without any worries, and he didn't have to worry about running out of mental power.
As for Linglong, she is staying by Ji Xuan'er's side and is responsible for the safety of everyone, she doesn't have too many means in the survey, what she can do at this time is to ensure the safety of her companions.
The griffin stood aside and looked at the dolls with a clear division of labor, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he whispered softly in his heart: "All of them don't look very old, but they are quite old-fashioned in action, they didn't stand aside to watch the play, are the latest generation of capable people in the Tianxiang Empire at this level?"
It didn't take long for Su He to take Xiao Lin over from a distance, he had already carefully checked the traces of the fight on the side of the scene, and had a preliminary judgment in his heart.
"How?" asked the griffon at once, "what is the opponent's strength?"
Su He touched his chin and thought for a while, then slowly spoke: "If my judgment is not wrong, there is actually only one opponent. ”
"Alone?" the griffin was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes, "It feels impossible for one person to kill so many people in an instant. ”
"Everybody's way of dying is roughly the same, but there's a slight difference. "But the killing one was exactly the same, a sharp blow from the left chest, and the wound looked like a strange looking sword or knife. ”
"And then?" asked the griffon.
"And, judging by the dripping traces of blood, the murderer launched an offensive from the front of the convoy, killing all the guards all the way down to the most important carriage. "There he paused there, for there was a large pool of blood gathering on the ground, like a stain of blood dripping from a sharp blade. ”
"And then the other party captured a person?" Xiao Lin said suddenly.
Su He looked at Xiao Lin in surprise: "How did you know?"
"I saw a mess in the dirt around the carriage, and then a mark in the trail stretched into the distance. Xiao Lin said softly, "It's like a person was dragged off the carriage and then dragged away." ”
"You're right. Suhe nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes, "You kid has a pretty good head." ”
"I'm blind. Xiao Lin said casually.
As Xiao Lin said, the opponent not only came from this batch of goods, but also took a person. Suhe said softly, "Maybe it can be said that the murderer came from this person, and it is very likely that the robbery of precious metals is just a pretense, used to cover people's eyes." ”
"It's just that we can't identify our opponents. The griffon frowned, he had only been tracking down the source of this rare metal, trying to determine which side was selling it, but now it was involved
With the strength of the third party, what was originally a simple exploration mission suddenly became complicated, and the original appearance of the incident was hidden in the fog, making it impossible to see the direction of the road ahead.
"Either way, Chaos City can be involved. Suhe said softly, he was saying this somewhat arbitrarily, but he had this hunch, and the one-armed officer must be hiding behind his back, manipulating this series of events.
"What do you suggest?" asked the griffon, looking at Sukh.
"We have to work together. Sukh pondered for a while and said, "The situation has developed beyond our expectations, and you continue to search the origin of this convoy and the identity of each person, and it is best to find out the identity of the missing person." ”
"Yes, we try. The griffon didn't say too much, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that it was very difficult to find out the identity of these people, "What about you?"
"Let's go check the situation in Chaos City, find out where rare metals have appeared, and interrogate them one by one, and it's best to even investigate the City Lord's Mansion. Sukh said softly.
"Doing so could cause the whole city to be dissatisfied. The griffin said, "Those villains will not dare to offend the power of the four empires easily, but if you are in a hurry, they will do anything." ”
"I know, just be careful. Sukh nodded, "We'll only get in touch when we've made progress." ”
"Good. The griffon nodded.
"Come with me. Su He beckoned Xiao Lin and the others to follow, and they once again swept towards Chaos City, this time they had to gain something no matter what.
