Chapter 16 The Fog

I don't know why, ever since seeing the pile of warehouses that were burned into ruins, Zhang Tie, who was sitting on the carriage, had a bad premonition in his heart. Even he couldn't tell what the reason was, but suddenly felt like It was like pressing on a stone, which made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Who burned the warehouse and destroyed the scene?

Is it the accomplices of those lurkers in the sun god dynasty? It is possible that the fifteen people I killed that day may not be all of them. There may be other people lurking in this city, and those lurking people should probably know that this warehouse is a secret stronghold for them .

But why would they burn this place down? Destroy evidence? It's also possible, but isn't it too eye-catching to light a fire? If there are really lurkers who have not been killed by themselves, what will those people who find that their companions have been wiped out? If it was me, in that situation, I would definitely run away immediately, and I would never stay in Brape any longer, let alone set a fire.

I don't know if those bodies are in the fire? When something like this happened, someone should have come to investigate the fire scene. If there were more than a dozen dead bodies suddenly at a fire scene, no one would ignore them wherever they were placed. In the Norman Empire, when encountering the scene of a fire where a corpse was found, a yellow cordon would be drawn around the ruins as usual, and the cordon would usually remain for a long period of time, but just now, Zhang Tie I didn't see any cordon around the fire scene. Does that mean that the corpses in the ruins are gone...

Today's weather is fine, but all kinds of questions make Zhang Tie feel as if his surroundings are suddenly shrouded in a layer of fog.

Because this matter involved Zhang Tie and the biggest secret that Zhang Tie didn't want to be known, Zhang Tie couldn't take it lightly. Zhang Tie always felt that the place that had been burned into ruins revealed a kind of He had a strange feeling of shock.

Taking a carriage to the block where the Greens lived, Zhang Tie got out of the carriage, made a mark on a street lamp on the side of the street, and then returned to the place he rented from the Greens.

As in the past, at this time of the morning, the Greens were taking good care of the vegetables they planted in the vegetable garden in front of the window downstairs. Perhaps it was because Zhang Tie gave them too much shock that night a week ago. When he saw Zhang Tie this time, although Mr. Green still took off his hat and greeted him, he saw a trace of fear and hesitation on the faces of the elderly couple.

For the two old men who have lived peacefully in a place like Brape for decades, Zhang Tie’s cold blood of letting a soldier cut off a person’s head without hesitation that night and his subsequent actions, even though Zhang Tie felt that he had already It is 100% benevolent, but in their eyes, this kind of Norman Empire officer who can kill at every turn still makes them feel scared.

As soon as Zhang Tie went up the stairs to the first floor, he saw the woman of the young couple living on the second floor carrying a vegetable basket as if she was going to buy vegetables. The woman also saw Zhang Tie, and then the woman's face turned pale. Yes, she who was walking in the middle of the stairs leaned stiffly against the side of the stairs, forced a smile on her face, and waited for Zhang Tie to pass first.

Zhang Tie sighed helplessly and didn't say much, he went up the stairs to his room on the fourth floor.

A few minutes later, Zhang Tie, who changed into an officer's uniform again, left the residence of the Greens, stopped a carriage on the road, and went straight to the base where the Ninth Equipment Division of the Integrated Logistics Support Department was located.

For Zhang Tie's arrival, Second Lieutenant Pepin still showed the same welcome and enthusiasm as before, but he obviously misunderstood the meaning of Zhang Tie's arrival. Not long after Zhang Tie's arrival,

In the office, Second Lieutenant Pepin obediently took a ledger and money bag. The gray income of the Ninth Equipment Division was distributed every two weeks. Second Lieutenant Pepin thought that Zhang Tie was here to get the money.

The pattern on the front and back of the common standard gold coin of the Norman Empire is the iron spinosa and the crossed spears of the god of war. These two patterns, one is the national flower of the Norman Empire, and the other is the symbol of the state religion of the Norman Empire. , Holding the very tactile gold coins in his hands and rubbing them, Zhang Tie sighed in his heart. This kind of life was once what he dreamed of. Every day without doing anything, there will be a lot of gold coins in the account. The wealth is incomparable, as long as the richest is enough, with these gold coins, he can buy property, or find a lot of beautiful women, and then live like a pig every day, living the life of a pile of women and gold coins. The days of rolling in the heap seem to be within reach now, but Zhang Tie knows that if he doesn't work hard to run forward, maybe such a day will not pass in two days, and he and everything he owns will be reduced to nothing. Flour.

In other words, in front of him, there seemed to be a matter that might bring him great troubles before him.

Seeing Zhang Tie holding the gold coin and sighing, Second Lieutenant Pepin, who had been watching Zhang Tie's face, thought that Zhang Tie was a little dissatisfied, thinking that the gold coin was not enough.

"Although there are not many gold coins, this is a tradition that the Ninth Equipment Division has formed over the years. If you want to break this tradition, you may offend many people. There were people in your position who wanted to share more. But in the end those people didn't stay in this position for long!" Second Lieutenant Pepin said carefully, after all, money is touching, and he who can get 10% of the profit is always thinking about when he can get 20% of the profit As for the profit, Second Lieutenant Pepin cared about his heart, and felt that when the new lieutenant and section chief was holding 20% ​​of the profit, he might also want to get more.

Glancing at Second Lieutenant Pepin sitting in front of him, Zhang Tie smiled, and put away the heavy bag of gold coins. Based on his feeling, Zhang Tie knew that there were at least 22 gold coins in the bag, roughly equivalent to Dad's salary for the past two years is not a small amount of money for ordinary people. "Second Lieutenant, I am very satisfied with the current situation and have no plans to change anything, so you don't have to worry!"

Second Lieutenant Pepin let out a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I have been recuperating in the countryside this week. Why is the atmosphere in Brape more tense this time than last week? Haven't the saboteurs of the Sun God Dynasty been caught yet?" Zhang took a sip of water. Tie asked seemingly unintentionally.

"On Wednesday, two soldiers from the 21st Division disappeared in Brape. Because of this, the atmosphere in Brape has become tense again in the past two days!" Second Lieutenant Pepin said in a low voice, "Because I don't want to cause Brape's tense atmosphere, so this news has not been announced!"

Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, "Did those lurkers and saboteurs from the Sun God Dynasty do it?"

"It's very possible, but I'm not too clear about the specific situation. It's the red gloves of the empire who are in charge of arresting those people in Brape. Those people have been in Brape for two weeks, but unfortunately there is still nothing to gain. See Looks like those guys have a name in vain..." Second Lieutenant Pepin had a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Red gloves?" Zhang Tie, who heard this word for the first time, glanced at Second Lieutenant Pepin with some doubts, "What red gloves?"

Then Second Lieutenant Pipin realized that the officer who had just come out of Heiyan City might not know who the "Red Gloves" in the Norman Empire were, so he explained it to Zhang Tie seriously, even with Pipin Second Lieutenant Ping's slickness couldn't help showing some disgust when talking about those people. In the entire Iron Horn Corps, probably no one would like those guys wearing red gloves.

"You mean, it is the secret police under the Imperial Order Review Committee who are now in charge of investigating and arresting the saboteurs and lurkers of the Norman Empire in Brape?" Zhang Tie was inexplicably shocked by the news that he only knew now. .

"That's right, the fact that those guys came to Brape seems to have something to do with the conflicts between the big shots above. I heard that Marshal Lin Changjiang and the big shots of the Imperial Order Review Committee don't get along well..." Second Lieutenant Pepin explained to Zhang Tie again. I heard the inside story about these red gloves coming to Bulape because of the bombing, "Because of the disappearance of the two soldiers of the 21st Division, everyone suspected that the lurkers from the Sun God Dynasty did it. No one knows what those people are going to do next, the officers above are very angry, so the atmosphere in Brape these days is a bit tense, those red gloves have transferred a lot of people from outside this week..."

Could it be that besides the ones he killed, the Sun God Dynasty had another group of lurkers in Brape? Thinking of this answer, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe those people really burned the warehouse. Those guys were really not afraid of death. They didn't run away immediately after the matter was completely exposed. Maybe he knew the secret, after all, he didn't do a thorough inspection of the warehouse at the time.

Zhang Tie found a few "appropriate reasons" for what happened.

At this time, Zhang Tie didn't feel that those "red gloves" in the mouth of Second Lieutenant Pepin would have anything to do with him. The "red gloves" were just fighting tools thrown at Brape by the big shots. Their goal was the Sun God Dynasty. What kind of intersection will happen to those guys in my life and a little person like myself?

Thinking about it this way, although there were still some doubts, Zhang Tie put the matter aside for the time being.

"Do you have any acquaintances in the army's equipment department?" Zhang Tie asked Pepin.

"There is no officer in the logistics department of the Iron Horn Corps that I don't know!" Second Lieutenant Pepin said proudly.

This is the advantage of a person like Second Lieutenant Pepin. No matter where he is, he is well-informed and can make a lot of friends. A person like Reinhardt will be majestic on the battlefield, but like Pepin A person like a second lieutenant can also do well in certain places.

"So, go drive and go with me to the Legion's equipment department?"

"Sir, do you want to..."

"Isn't the winner of the Iron and Blood Medal able to receive a piece of special equipment as a reward from the equipment department of the legion?" Zhang Tie smiled. He was almost useless some time ago, and he didn't give up on the special equipment rewarded by the Iron and Blood Medal. In my heart, I can't use it anyway, and now that I have completely recovered, if I don't take it if I have such an upright benefit, is it still me? It just so happens that I don't have a suitable weapon right now, so it's only natural to go to the equipment department to pick a weapon.

As the equipment department of the entire legion, there should be more good things than the equipment warehouse of the thirty-ninth division stationed in Heiyan City...
