long night fire

As for height, I can't tell from the photos.

After Jiang Baimian finished reading the photos, Lehman thought about it and said:

"I don't extravagantly ask you to agree to me now, I just hope that you can help me pay attention during the investigation of the 'Underground Ark'.

"If you can find out his whereabouts or related clues by the way, you can come to me and ask for a reward at any time."

He's very good at being a man... Well, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become a rich arms dealer... The only problem is that he only uses this kind of speculative wink and low profile on people who are stronger than him... Jiang Baimian Gently nodding:

"We'll keep an eye out for you."

"What reward can you give?" Shang Jianyao interrupted and asked.

This time, Jiang Baimian didn't stare at him, because that was what she wanted to ask.

Lehman showed a little smile:

"For example, newer exoskeleton devices, but that may take a year or so to get a chance.

"Similarly, there is also a T1-type multifunctional robotic arm. I have to give me more than half a year, er, I am not responsible for the transplant.

"In addition to these, there are armored vehicles, tanks, and various types of artillery..."

After Jiang Baimian listened quietly, he reminded:

"You don't have to expect too much."

……

After seeing off Lehman and having lunch, the "Old Tune Group" drove a jeep to Iron Mountain in the north.

"Could this be a trap?" On the way, Long Yuehong said with some vigilance.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"Let's not talk about whether there is a necessary reason to deal with us. Even if there is, the strength of our team has also been improved. Now it is really a team that can destroy a homeless settlement."

Knowing that the team leader was talking about the military exoskeleton device, Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little flattered.

While talking, they followed the instructions on the map and spent nearly two hours finally arriving at Iron Mountain and finding the exit of the "Underground Ark" in a hidden place at the foot of the mountain.

Here is a valley with a path leading to a cave, and the entrance to the "underground ark" is deep in the cave.

Jiang Baimian didn't let Shang Jianyao and the others approach the cave immediately, but found a nearby high point that was convenient for monitoring, hid it, and watched closely the entrance of the cave.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the sky gradually became dark, and Long Yuehong squatted impatiently.

He turned his head sideways, looked at Shang Jianyao who was hiding behind a few trees, and asked chattingly:

"Don't you find it boring?"

"I'm a rock now, and a rock won't feel boring." Shang Jian Yao said without squinting.

"..." Long Yuehong couldn't help but replied, "Stone can't talk either."

"I'm playing a talking stone." Shang Jianyao explained calmly.

I'm so stupid, really... Long Yuehong scolded herself in her heart, thinking it would be more interesting to squat down.

At this moment, two people came out of the hole, carrying a heavy sack.

Chapter 119 The Dead

The two people who came out of the cave were both wearing olive green uniforms and each carrying a submachine gun. They seemed to be the guards of the "underground ark".

They glanced left and right to make sure there was no one else around, then carried the heavy sack and walked deep into the valley.

Not long after, they found a place with relatively soft soil and pulled out two shovels from the sack.

Jiang Baimian winked at the team members, led them to touch down from the high point quietly, and dived to a place not far from the two "underground ark" guards.

"Go." She immediately lowered her voice and said something to Shang Jianyao.

Seeing that Yao did his part, he rushed out of the hiding place with his "Berserker" assault rifle in his hand, and shouted to the two "underground ark" guards who were digging a hole:

"You are surrounded!"

Startled, the two guards dropped their shovels at the same time and jumped to different places, trying to find cover and avoid the first round of fire.

However, as soon as they completed the first step, they saw the dark "muzzle" of the "Reaper" bazooka, and saw the grenade gun ready to go.

While their thoughts were spinning, they stopped, raised their hands, put them behind their heads, and slowly squatted down.

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a monkey mask, walked over and said with a smile:

"Don't be afraid, we're just here to make friends."

The two guards of the "Underground Ark" looked up at the same time, glanced at the assault rifle in Shang Jianyao's hand, and silently lowered their heads again.

The two of them are typical Honghe people, one has brown hair, the other has yellow hair, one has blue eyes, and the other has brown eyes. , one eyebrow is quite bushy.

Shang Jian Yao then smiled and said:

"You see:

"I did not shoot you, but spoke to you calmly;

"I didn't ask you to lay down your weapons and let me slaughter you;

"so……"

Hearing what he said, the two guards suddenly felt that this guy was quite kind, as if he really just came to make friends.

"I told you earlier, I scared us." The guard with a bigger nose, brown hair and blue eyes was relatively more courageous, and quickly stood up.

"What's your name?" Shang Jianyao showed his friendliness.

The guard said casually:

"Just call me Joseph, he's Paul.

"What about you?"

"Zhang Qubing." Shang Jianyao said his alias in Honghe dialect.

"Are you Gray Whisperers?" Joseph asked knowingly when he heard the translated name.

"Human beings are human beings, and there is no need to divide into various groups." Shang Jianyao emphasized his views.

At this time, Jiang Baimian had already walked to the sack and squatted down.

She carefully pushed the top of the bag back down, revealing the contents inside.

This is a corpse.

He was wearing a black dress, his hair was a little gray, and there was a bloodstain on his chest.

"Butler Karl!" Jiang Baimian recognized the corpse.

This is Carl, one of Dimarco's three butlers, who is in charge of the arms business.

He had just had a face-to-face meeting with the alerter Song He in the morning, and said that they had not betrayed any information to murlocs or mountain monsters, and now, his neatly combed hair had become extremely messy.

In just a few hours, he was a corpse.

"Butler Karl?" Long Yuehong repeated in astonishment, never expecting such a dead body to be contained in the sack.

He thought it was some servant who had offended DiMarco.

Of course, strictly speaking, the butler is also one of the servants.

"How did Steward Karl die?" Shang Jianyao asked the two "Underground Ark" guards who had established a friendly relationship.

This time, he did not "make friends" directly, but used the "reasoning clown" to simulate the friendly effect of the alerter Song He.

At this time, Jiang Baimian preliminarily confirmed that Karl died of being shot in the chest after a simple inspection.

Joseph with a bigger nose had a gloomy expression:

"Killed by Mister DiMarco."

"Why?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

He remembered that Butler Karl was a loyal person, and he was obviously a believer in the Vigilance Sect. In order to help DiMarco manage the arms business, he chose not to hide.

Paul and Joseph, who had rather bushy eyebrows, looked at each other and said hesitantly:

"After seeing the vigilante from the Vigilance Sect this morning, Steward Carl has been wanting to see Mr. DiMarco.

"At that time, Mr. DiMarco was resting in the room, and he was not allowed in until the afternoon.

"We don't know exactly what they talked about. We only know that a quarrel broke out later. In a rage, Mr. DiMarco drew a gun and killed Butler Karl."

When Jiang Baimian got up, Shang Jianyao played the role of "famous detective" and asked tacitly:

"Did you witness the quarrel behind?"

Joseph shook his head:

"We only heard the movement inside suddenly become louder, and when we opened the door and went in to protect Mr. DiMarco, he had already shot and killed Butler Karl.

"The quarrel was something he said casually."

Could it be that Steward Carl, after talking with Warner Song, returned to the "Underground Ark", remembered something because of a certain opportunity, and began to suspect that it was DiMarco who really betrayed the news about Bishop Renato to the monster?He tried to find an explanation, but he angered the brutal DiMarco and was shot dead?However, this does not conform to the loyal image of Butler Karl... A series of guesses flashed through Jiang Baimian's mind.

Suddenly, she keenly noticed a detail, so she asked:

"While Mr. DiMarco was talking to Butler Karl, was there no one standing by his side?"

The guards outside the door were actually needed to go in and rescue them.

Joseph replied:

"Yes, Mr. DiMarco won't have people in his room unless there's something to talk to. He doesn't like it."

Shang Jian Yao immediately clicked his tongue:

"He's really an unqualified vigilante."

Hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong discovered a contradiction in those descriptions just now:

As a believer of the Vigilance Sect, DiMarco is not afraid of being attacked when he is alone with others, and chooses to keep all the guards outside the door. This is so careless!

"Maybe he really just believed in 'You Gu' casually." Bai Chen felt that this was the most possible and reasonable explanation.

Paul, the guard with bushy eyebrows, quickly denied it:

"No, Mr. DiMarco has always been religious.

"He often wears a mask, and he has worn it every day for the past year. He will not take it off except when sleeping."

Shang Jianyao immediately retorted:

"How do you know he took it off when he slept?"

Paul hesitated and said:

"I, I think so."

Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and asked:

"Does he sleep with women, er, men?"

"Yes, he has many women." Although Joseph thought this topic was weird, he still answered honestly.

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a monkey mask, laughed:

"Then when he does that kind of thing, will he take off his mask?"

Joseph and Paul looked at each other, and each began to recall.

After a while, Paul said:

"I heard from a few maids who slept with Mr. DiMarco that sometimes they wear them and sometimes they don't."

"Yes." Joseph remembered some rumors, "In the early years, Mr. DiMarco didn't wear a mask more often, but recently, he seems to wear it."

"When is the specific dividing line?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"I don't know." Joseph and Paul shook their heads at the same time.

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment, then asked:

"Did he wear it when he talked to Bishop Renato recently?"

"Yes, he wears it every day for the past year." Joseph replied in the affirmative.
