The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

As for the three meals, they were naturally cooked in big pots by the cooks in the camp.

The food can only be said to be average, there is no concept of good or bad food.

But Gao Wen was obviously not used to it.

After all, he is also the goblin king, so he still has the privilege of making a small stove for himself.

So he spent money to hire someone to drive a horse-drawn carriage to the nearest city and post station to help him purchase the ingredients he wanted to eat.

Then send it here and let the cook in the camp do it for him.

Usually, the date will be fixed, and the ingredients will be delivered for several days each time.

The food is better than the big pot rice.

He has been like this for months.

The workers were not dissatisfied either.

Gao Wen is willing to pay, someone is willing to drive a carriage to buy, and use money to do things, it's that simple.

But this trip was weird.

Logically speaking, the ingredients for this trip should have been delivered three days ago.

But the truth is that no one has been seen yet.

All the ingredients delivered last time were all eaten the day before yesterday.

As a result, Gao Wen had to eat a big pot of rice yesterday.

"Could it be that I'm being too accommodating? Is this a plan to be passive and sabotage? Withholding wages, I must deduct his wages!"

Just when Gao Wen was thinking fiercely like this.

In the distance, a soldier on a fast horse rushed out of the camp at an extremely fast speed.

And after dismounting, he fixed on the location of Gao Wen with a glance, and then walked towards him quickly.

Seeing this scene, Gao Wen's eyelids jumped decisively.

His intuition was telling him that absolutely nothing good would happen!

"Zhao Tao, captain of the No. [-] Patrol Squad in Gaoling City, has met Lord Gao Wen."

"People from the patrol..."

After confirming the identity of the other party, Gao Wen frowned slightly.

"What did the patrolman want from me?"

"The thing is like this. Did Master Gao Wen hire a young man named Zhang Peng some time ago to help him deliver food regularly?"

Gawain's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"That's right, but I haven't seen him since he delivered the ingredients last time, what happened?"

"The thing is like this, Zhang Peng's mother reported to us five days ago, saying that her son was missing, and we also learned from that mother that Zhang Peng is working for you recently, so we followed him. The working route has been searched along the way..."

Having said that, Zhao Tao's voice paused.

"As a result, Zhang Peng's body was found in a mountainous area three hundred miles outside the city."

Well, his hunch came true.

Gao Wen couldn't help pinching his eyebrows.

"So, who are you looking for?"

"Lord Gao Wen, on the one hand, I came here to confirm some specific circumstances, and on the other hand, I want you to go over and check the identity of the deceased. At the same time, if you can provide us with any clues, then It couldn't be better."

"Then, all right..."

Gao Wen never expected such a thing to happen.

The civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms is based on a complete rule of law. When something like this happens, as a person related to the case, even he, the goblin king, is obliged to cooperate with the investigation.

Chapter 915 , Troublesome things

They didn't even ask someone to get a carriage.

Although his pony didn't run as fast as the war horse, its stamina was still very good, and it could fully cope with a long journey.

It took a while to arrive at the scene of the crime. This area was obviously blocked by the Gaoling City patrol team.

It is worth mentioning here that this section of the road has already been paved.

It is precisely because of this that it left obvious traces.

The carriage, which was originally running on a flat road, suddenly shifted its position, leaving obvious wheel marks in the process of rushing down the road.

The next direction can be said to have completely deviated from the road.

There are basically bare hills on both sides of the road, with ups and downs, which are obviously not suitable for horse-drawn carriages at all.

The wheel prints were completely broken after extending for about 200 meters.

But Zhang Peng's body was found farther away...

Of course, the body had already been removed by the patrol team, and there was only a puddle of blackened and dried blood left at the place where the body had fallen.

"Where is the body?"

"Lord Gao Wen, please follow me."

While speaking, Zhao Tao took Gao Wen to the temporary camp set up by the patrol team nearby.

The matter has not yet been investigated, and it is obviously impossible for them to dispose of the body.

Therefore, Zhang Peng's body was temporarily stored here.

After entering the tent, Gao Wen couldn't help but pinch his nose due to the stench coming towards him.

Although the temperature has started to drop recently due to the changing seasons, the climate in the west is still a bit dry and hot.

After a few days, the corpse had obviously begun to rot.

After taking a closer look, the other party's death can be said to be quite miserable, completely disembowelled.

Fortunately, the face was still intact. After being cleaned up by members of the patrol team, Gao Wen barely recognized the other party's identity.

"That's right, Zhang Peng is right."

While speaking, Gawain took two steps back. The smell was really disgusting, and he couldn't stand it.

"It looks like he was attacked by a wild beast?"

After all, the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms is still in ancient times, and there are naturally beasts in and out of the area outside the city, which is nothing unusual.

Although Gao Wen had just glanced at it briefly, he could clearly see that the fatal injury was not caused by human beings at all.

Zhao Tao, who heard this, shook his head.

"Not sure yet."

Hearing this, Gao Wen was taken aback.

"How to say?"

"According to the information we have obtained, the deceased left Gaoling City in a carriage while pulling a carriage of ingredients. Judging from the scene near the highway, he was indeed driving a carriage at that time."

Having said that, Zhao Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the problem now is that the carriage is gone, and the ingredients that were supposed to be loaded on the carriage are also completely missing. At the same time, according to our inspection, all the belongings of the deceased are gone."

After hearing this, Gao Wen's expression turned serious.

Obviously, wild beasts don't know how to drive a carriage, let alone take away all the belongings of the target after killing a target.

"So, you think it's artificial?"

At this moment, Gao Wen was a little upset, he really didn't want to be involved in such troublesome things.

"Is it possible that the beast killed him, and then someone passing by got greedy and took the carriage and money?"

"According to this statement, it is also possible that someone killed him, and then the body was eaten by a passing beast, isn't it?"

Zhao Tao replied like this.

As for Zhao Tao's guess, Gao Wen directly shook his head.

"impossible."

"why?"

Zhao Tao couldn't help asking curiously.

"If it was man-made from the beginning, then he has time to get rid of the carriage and even search for property, so why doesn't he have time to dispose of the corpse? Even if he digs a hole to bury him, it's far better than throwing the corpse in the wilderness, right?"

Having said this, Gao Wen's voice paused a little.

"Or, the murderer thinks that the body is here, so we can't find it?"

The last sentence obviously carried a hint of irony. In his mind, no one would be so stupid.

Although this guy Gao Wen was sometimes out of tune, he was still eloquent when he flattered him. He was completely a courtier.

But don't forget, his intelligence is at least four stars.

In other words, his mind is much smarter than the average talented person.

Although he is not good at this kind of crap, but after turning his head around, his eyes will not be dimmed.

"The carriage used to drive on the paved road. On the road, the carriage is more efficient. In other words, it is unreasonable for the deceased to suddenly drive the carriage off the road and run to the nearby hilly area."

"From this point, it can be seen that there was an unexpected situation at that time. For example, on the other side of the road, a ferocious beast rushed out and attacked him. The deceased hurriedly turned the direction of the carriage in panic. It ended up crashing off the road by accident."

"However, the hilly area is uneven, and it is not suitable for horse-drawn carriages at all. It is estimated that after running for a while, the vehicle overturned due to the terrain, and the beast that attacked him was obviously still chasing after him."

"The deceased obviously couldn't wait to die obediently, so he started to run away desperately, but in the end he couldn't escape the pursuit of the wild beast, and finally died in the mouth of the wild beast."

"After that, at most one to two days later, even on the same day, passersby found the carriage overturned hundreds of meters away, so they stepped forward to confirm the situation, and then became greedy, and fled after taking away the carriage and the deceased's belongings .”

After speaking, Gao Wen let out a long sigh of relief.

"My analysis is probably like this."

After Gao Wen's analysis, Zhao Tao and the surrounding patrol team members were dumbfounded.

The most terrible thing is that after this set up, they actually think it is reasonable, and they can't find anything wrong at all, as if this is the truth.

And if so, the case can only be described as an unfortunate accident.

Those who covetously took away the carriages and property, though despicable, could not be said to have committed felonies.

However, the Myriad Realms Civilization Patrol Team's investigation is based on evidence.

With Gao Wen's mouth alone, no matter how reasonable and reasonable what Gao Wen said, they couldn't believe it all.

In order for this set of rhetoric to be established, two key pieces of evidence must be found.

The first key piece of evidence is the murderous beast.

The second key piece of evidence is the deceased's carriage and belongings.

After all, Gao Wen shouldered the heavy responsibility of His Majesty, and it was obviously impossible for the patrol team to let him wait there all the time.

After obtaining the intelligence information and confirming the situation, Gao Wen was sent back.

Then he quickly notified Gaoling City and Oasis City, as well as the nearby post stations, and began to search for the whereabouts of the deceased's carriage and belongings.

At the same time, a centurion was dispatched from Gaoling City to search for the beast in the hilly area.

If there were ferocious beasts that would actively attack people in this area, it would be a threat to the people of the two cities, as well as the construction team that was paving the road, and they had to be hunted down as soon as possible.

Chapter 916, Breakthrough?

Accompanied by simultaneous actions on both sides.

In the outskirts between Gaoling City and Oasis City, the news that wild beasts attacked humans and caused death spread quickly in the construction team's camp.

All of a sudden, it also made people panic, and even the construction efficiency in the past few days has been reduced.

Gao Wen, who realized that this could not go on like this, sighed.
