Chapter 425 Silence

"Are there spies among humans? The original cannons of more than a dozen cities were destroyed in the chaos?"

Everyone in Yueying Team was shocked when they heard the news that Xu Zhaohua had returned simultaneously.

"Yes, although this beast wave was suddenly launched by mutant beasts, it is also part of the military plan. Several people have been arrested so far, and there are still some suspects whose identities cannot be clearly determined."

Xu Zhaohua introduced slowly and told everyone in Yueying the news that Li Wanjun told him.

The matter was more difficult than he thought, but He Jun's death could already be concluded to be highly likely related to the destruction of the original cannon.

"One of my own saw the secret..."

Xiao Chen murmured to himself and suddenly looked at Ye Ran.

"Sister Ran, you searched the city today, did you find anything?"

Ye Ran's face suddenly turned bitter.

"Don't mention it, I'm almost exhausted! In addition to the people we saw at the east gate, there are indeed awakened people above level four in the city, four in total."

Searching the whole city was still a bit difficult for a fourth-level awakened person like her.

Fortunately, following Xiao Chen to the middle gate for support today did not consume too much force power, otherwise she would have had to consume raw stone resources to replenish it.

"Two of them are twin brothers, named Wu Di and Wu Wei respectively. They said they came here to buy land for business and are big merchants in Linyang City."

"The other one, named Chen Dave, does not live in the city, but in the planting area. His awakening talent is planting. He sits on a large piece of land, which is full of large vegetables and fruits that he used his awakening skills to catalyze."

"The last one, who is also investigating the army, is named Yang Hailun, and he is in the hospital."

Someone from the Survey Corps?

Everyone was a little surprised, and Liu Zimo shouted as if he had discovered a new world.

"There's something wrong with this guy. We gathered at the east gate today. Didn't you see him?"

After asking around, Liu Zimo became even more assertive.

"Not only did the east gate not see him, but the support from each gate also didn't see him. As a survey force, what does he do for a living?"

Ye Ran rolled his eyes and said.

"Can you think that I can't think of it? Yang Hailun is the least suspicious because he suffered a leg injury before the war. When the war started, he was still in the hospital."

"There is surveillance video of the room he is in. This man has never left from the beginning."

After Ye Ran finished speaking, Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Except for Yang Helen, have everyone else brought them?"

Ye Ran shook his head and said.

"The Wu brothers came, but they were very dissatisfied. They shouted that we had no right to restrict their freedom, and they wanted to report us when they got back."

"As for Chen Dave, he is actually from the Ministry of Agriculture. He provides a large part of the military's rations in the city. He said that he cannot leave the planting area and must work most of the day, otherwise the plants will lack nutrients.

"

"He said that if you want to see him, go to his place and find him."

The fourth-level awakened merchants in Linyang City, the people from the Ministry of Agriculture, and the people from the Survey Army are all relatively well-established.

Counting the other four members of the investigation team, as well as Huang Sicai, among these eight people, except for Yang Hailun, who had sufficient alibi, none of the others could be completely ruled out as suspects.

Xiao Chen looked at Liu Zimo and Xiong Qingshan again.

"Zimo, Brother Xiong, go to the scene and ask the operator of the original cannon. Do you have any clues?"

There is no doubt that He Jun died after the war started.

The members of the investigating army team were divided because of the war, which means that He Jun was still alive before the war.

Moreover, Huang Sicai said that he would let He Jun defend the city while he went to hunt down the level five mutant beasts.

It's impossible for both groups to lie.

So, since he died near the original cannon, it's not like there were no witnesses at all.

Of course, Xiao Chen asked them to ask many people at the scene, and they did not just ask the operator of the original cannon. Otherwise, the real murderer would know, and Xiao Chen already knew the true location of He Jun's death.

This is not conducive to Xiao Chen's observation of them.

"The original cannon was set up relatively concealed, and there were relatively few operators. During the battle, several people died. Those who were alive said they didn't see anything."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. He could conclude that several operators died, and some of them might have been silenced. However, the operators' strength was too low to form life crystals. Otherwise, Xiao Chen could get more clues.

"There are still too few clues now, but we have to hurry up. Although the team leader gave me the authority to investigate, I can seal Beiling Pass and prevent the awakened people from getting out, but it will definitely not be possible in a few days."

After Xu Zhaohua finished speaking, Xiao Chen nodded.

"In this case, let's go meet these brothers first. Do you know their specific strength?"

Ye Ran shook his head.

"Although I can detect that they are Level 4, the specific strength will only be known by their actions."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment.

Do you know until you take action?

He looked at Yueying and the others, and called Mo Jinglan and Xiong Qingshan over.

"Wait a minute, I may need your cooperation."

.............................

In a small room at the temporary command post of the military headquarters, two men with very similar looks sat there impatiently, tapping their legs, drinking coffee.

"Is there anyone? Where did everyone die?"

"If you don't come, we will leave by ourselves!"

The two of them were shouting loudly, but the two young soldiers stationed at the door looked intently, as if they didn't hear them.

But it was this look that made the Wu brothers even more annoyed.

"Why are you arguing? Be honest, you are suspects now, do you understand?!"

A harsh voice came out, and both of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at the door.

Xiao Chen happened to walk in from there, and both Wu Di and Wu Wei showed astonished expressions.

"Is there any mistake? After waiting for a long time, a little kid came to ask us?"

After Wu Di finished speaking, Wu Wei also stood up.

"Little boy, at what level are you talking to me like this? Be clear, we have not violated any laws and regulations, and we are level four awakeners. If there is no official document, you have no right to detain us."

"I'm giving you face by cooperating with you. Is it giving you some face? You're talking to me like this."

The two of them were indeed confident. As representatives of the Wanshou Group, they came here to acquire land. They were doing big business, and they were both awakened people.

The government has always given preferential treatment to awakened people with official status, even those who are socially awakened.

If it had been a senior officer, they might have been more polite, but now a young man like a soldier was speaking so rudely, and they also had angry looks on their faces.

"Okay, you are brave, right? Let me ask you, where were you when the war started?"

Xiao Chen didn't seem to care about the anger of the two people at all, and his voice was still cold.

"What's wrong at home? I'm telling you, you don't have the right to ask us, the hair is not all grown up, if you change someone else, I will file a complaint against you."

After the two of them finished speaking, they held their necks high and looked confident.
