Chapter 232 Searching for people
Hearing Lehman's words, Jiang Baimian, who was wearing a mask, laughed:
"What a coincidence."
After a pause, she added:
"I thought your commission was related to 'United Industries' and needed us to go elsewhere."
Seeing that this mysterious relic hunter team showed goodwill, Lehman smiled and said:
"If you want, I also have many commissions related to 'United Industries'."
Shang Jianyao asked with great interest:
"What is there?"
Isn't this a polite remark...... Lehman was speechless for a moment.
On the side of "United Industries", he has always believed that good skills are not as good as good relationships.
Jiang Baimian laughed secretly, and while directing Long Yuehong to continue to help Bai Chen cook, he said to Lehman:
"Tell me about your commission, but we may not accept it."
Shout...... Lehman breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's right, when I was an employee of a military enterprise in 'United Industries', I was rescued by a relic hunter.
"His name is Lars, he is a little younger than me, he has good marksmanship, excellent fighting, and is a 'veteran hunter'.
"Later, we often met, he helped me a lot, and I gave him a lot of commissions, so that he had a good life......"
Briefly talking about the past, Lehman finally said:
"In short, he is my best friend."
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Long Yuehong, who was helping Bai Chen cook, also pricked up his ears.
This story sounds a bit interesting.
Lehman's expression slowly became heavy:
"He's missing.
"Almost a year ago, he disappeared in Redstone Collection."
"Did he say anything to you before he disappeared?" It was not Jiang Baimian who asked this sentence, but Shang Jianyao, who was holding his chest with one hand and touching his chin with the other.
He was only one pipe away from simulating a famous detective in a radio drama.
Lehman exhaled slowly and said:
"The gathering place where he came from was attacked, and his only sister who was still alive was taken away and made into slavery.
"He had been tracking his sister's whereabouts, and one day he happily told me that he had found clues that his sister had been sold to Redstone and had probably become a servant of the 'Underground Boat'.
"I thought it shouldn't be too difficult to redeem someone from the 'underground boat', so I told him that as long as I can make sure that his sister is there, I can fund him with a sum of materials to complete the transaction.
"He soon left for Redstone Collection, and a friend of mine told me that he did come, but he never showed up again within a few days.
"That's how he disappeared."
Speaking of the back, Lehman's tone was very gloomy.
"Do you suspect that his disappearance is related to the 'underground boat'?" Jiang Baimian asked.
"Maybe he had a conflict with some people in Hongshiji, was quietly killed, tied to stones, and sank into the lake." Merchant Viewing Yao offers another possibility.
On the gray soil, except for a few major forces, order and chaos coexist everywhere, and murder and cross-border goods are often staged.
Lehman shook his head:
"In other settlements, this can happen, but Redstone Collection, you also know that all the townspeople like to hide, there are no business entanglements, and it is difficult for outsiders to conflict with them.
"For example, Hevig?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.
"Yes." Lehman did not deny it.
Before Hervig's death, he was Lehman's main partner in Redstone, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a friend.
Shang Jianyao was suddenly excited:
"Could it be that Hervig did it?
"Hevig's wife and he don't have a very good relationship, Lars lives in their house and is a very capable hunter, will the two soon have an emotional entanglement, and will Hevig find out and kill him in anger?"
What are the company's radio dramas and radio stories usually broadcasting...... Well, why is this story so familiar? Based on the incident of Weller having an affair with his boss's wife and being smashed on the spot, combined with the fact that Bishop Renato suffered from "unintentional disease", Hervig was frightened to death in the ventilation duct? Jiang Baimian gradually figured out the source of Shang Jianyao's inspiration.
Lehman shook his head without hesitation:
"Impossible."
"What evidence do you have?" Shang Jianyao said he could not accept it.
Lehman hesitated for a moment, and clasped his hands:
"He can't have an affair with Teresa because he likes men."
This...... Jiang Baimian looked at the arms dealer in front of him, gave Shang Jianyao a look, and asked him not to continue "reasoning", saying something "I understand, it was Lars and Hevig who had an affair, and Teresa found out, and became angry, so I asked the adulterer Bishop Renato to help kill the male third party."
Not to mention the chaos and complexity of this story, it will definitely cause emotional damage to Lehman.
Shang Jianyao replied with regretful eyes and closed his mouth.
Jiang Baimian asked instead:
"Then did you find any clues later?"
Lehman slowed down for a few seconds before saying:
"I found out that he visited the 'Visa Trading Company' and met with a housekeeper in Dimarco, who was named Ulrich.
"There are no other clues except this. I mobilized my manpower and asked many people from the Red Stone Collection to help me find out about the 'underground boat', but I didn't gain much.
"I even went to Ulrich myself, but he said that Lars disappeared after he knew that his sister had unfortunately died.
Died of illness? Jiang Baimian suddenly thought of what Viyer had said before:
Dimarco is very brutal and likes to take out his servants and not take human life seriously.
Lehman glanced at the woman wearing the mask of a beautiful monk, and said after consideration:
"Recently, I learned a piece of news through Hervig.
"The 'underground boat' has an exit somewhere in Tieshan, and people often come and go."
Tieshan is the north side of the city ruins, where mountain monsters live, and on the other side of the Tieshan Mountains, there is a more famous ruin in the chaotic era, called "Tieshan City".
This is consistent with the information provided by Vierre...... Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:
"How did Hevig know?"
Lehman did not mean to hide it for the deceased:
"He knew from Ankhbas, who listened to the mountain monsters."
Also, Ankhbas and the mountain monster have been secretly trading...... Wait, the "underground boat" has an exit somewhere in Tieshan...... It is definitely not far from the place where the mountain monsters live, and if Dimarco wants to betray the information of the Red Stone Collection, he can do it without knowing it...... Jiang Baimian quickly stringed things together.
"Where is it exactly?" She asked.
Lehman took out a hand-drawn map, pointed to the red circle on it and said:
"Here."
He immediately described what the signs on the map represented so that the "Money White Team" could accurately find the destination.
After saying this, Lehman took out another photo:
"This was filmed not long before Lars disappeared."
Jiang Baimian took the photo, glanced at it, and found that Lars was a very masculine prime.
He has short flaxen hair, a very straight nose, light blue eyes, a light beard around his mouth, and his biggest feature is a small cyan birthmark on the corner of his forehead.
As for the height, it is not very obvious from the photo.
After Jiang Baimian finished reading the photo, Lehman considered it and said:
"I don't expect you to promise me now, I just hope you will help me pay attention to it during the investigation of the 'underground boat'.
"If you can find out his whereabouts or related clues by the way, you can come to me at any time to ask for compensation."
Are you very good at being a person...... Well, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become an arms dealer with a rich net worth...... The only problem is that this kind of eye-catching and lowering posture is only used on people who are stronger than him...... Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"We'll help you pay attention."
"What reward can you give?" Shang Jianyao interjected and asked.
This time, Jiang Baimian didn't stare at him, because this was also what she wanted to ask.
Lehman smiled slightly:
"For example, newer exoskeleton devices, but this may take about a year to get it.
"Similarly, there is also a T1 multi-functional robotic arm, which has to give me more than half a year, uh, not responsible for transplantation.
"In addition to these, there are armored vehicles, tanks, and various artillery ......."
Jiang Baimian listened quietly and reminded:
"You don't have to expect too much."
…………
After seeing Lehman off and having lunch, the "old tune team" drove the jeep to the iron mountain in the north.
"Could this be a trap?" On the way, Long Yuehong said a little vigilantly.
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 group has been improved, and now we are really a team that can destroy a wanderer settlement."
Knowing that the team leader was talking about the military exoskeleton device, Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little happy in her heart.
While talking, they followed the instructions on the map, and it took nearly two hours to finally arrive at Tieshan and find the exit of the "underground boat" located in a hidden place at the foot of the mountain.
This is a valley with a path leading to a cave, and the entrance to the "underground boat" is deep in the cave.
Jiang Baimian didn't let Shang Jianyao and the others get closer to them immediately, but found a high point nearby that was convenient for monitoring, hid it, and watched the hole closely.
Time passed minute by minute, the sky gradually became dark, and Long Yuehong squatted a little impatiently.
He turned his head sideways, looked at Shang Jianyao hiding behind a few trees, and asked chatterily:
"Don't you think it's boring?"
"I am a stone now, and the stone will not feel boring." Shang Jianyao said without squinting.
"......" Long Yuehong couldn't help but reply, "The stone can't speak either."
"I play the role of a talking stone." Shang Jianyao explained calmly.
I'm so stupid, really...... Long Yuehong scolded herself in her heart, thinking that it would be more interesting to squat.
At this moment, two people came out of the cave, carrying a heavy sack.
