Hearing Lehman's words, Jiang Baimian, wearing a mask, laughed:
"What a coincidence."
After a pause, she added:
"I thought that your commission was related to "United Industries" and we needed to go elsewhere."
Seeing the kindness of this mysterious relic hunter team, Lehman smiled and said:
"If you want, I also have many commissions related to ‘United Industries’."
Shang Jianyao asked enthusiastically:
"What's all there?"
Isn't this a polite sentence... Lehman was at a loss for words.
He has always believed that good skills are worse than good relationships on the "United Industries" side.
Jiang Baimian chuckled secretly, and while instructing Long Yuehong to continue helping Bai Chen with cooking, he said to Lehman:
"Tell me about your commission, but we may not accept it."
Huh... Lehman breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's the case. I was rescued by a relic hunter when I was an employee of a certain military enterprise in the'United Industries'.
"His name is Lars. He is a little younger than me. He has good marksmanship and excellent combat. He is a ‘senior hunter’.
"Later, we often met. He helped me a lot, and I also gave him a lot of commissions, so that he had a pretty good life..."
Speaking briefly about the past, Lehman finally said:
"In short, he is my best friend."
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Long Yuehong, who helped Bai Chen cook, also raised his ears.
This story sounds interesting.
Lehman's expression slowly became heavy:
"He is missing.
"Almost a year ago, he disappeared in Redstone Collection."
"Did he tell you anything before he disappeared?" It was not Jiang Baimian who asked this sentence, but Shang Jian Yao, who was holding his chest with one hand and touching his chin with the other.
He only needs a pipe to simulate a famous detective in a radio drama.
Lehman exhaled slowly:
"The gathering place where he came from was attacked, and his only sister who was still alive was taken away and became a slave.
"He has been searching for his sister's whereabouts. One day, he was happy to tell me that he found a clue and determined that his sister was sold to the Redstone Collection, and it is likely that he has become a servant of the "Ark Below the Earth".
"I think it should not be too difficult to redeem a person from the ‘underground boat’, so I told him that as long as he can be sure that his sister is there, I can fund him a certain amount of supplies and let him complete the transaction.
"He soon set off to Redstone Collection. A friend of mine told me that he did come, but he never showed up again in a few days.
"He just disappeared like this."
Speaking of the back, Lehman's tone was very gloomy.
"Do you suspect that his disappearance has something to do with the'boat below the ground'?" Jiang Baimian asked.
"Maybe he had a conflict with some people in Redstone Ji, was quietly killed, tied a stone, and sank into the lake." Shang Jianyao offered another possibility.
On the dusty soil, with the exception of a few major forces, other places are where order and chaos coexist, and murders are often staged.
Lehman shook his head:
"In other settlements, this may happen, but Hongshiji, as you all know, all the townspeople like to hide. Without business entanglements, it is difficult for outsiders to conflict with them. Uh, I still let them. With the letter I wrote, I went to some of my friends and asked for care."
"For example, Herwig?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.
"Yes." Lehman didn't deny it.
Before Herwig's death, he was Lehman's main partner in the Redstone Set, and it is not an exaggeration to call a friend.
Shang Jian Yao was immediately excited:
"Could it be Herwig?
"Hervig's wife and his relationship are not very good. Lars is also a very capable hunter who lives in their house. Will the two soon have emotional entanglements? Hewig discovered that he was angry. Killed by a miss?"
What do the company's radio dramas and radio stories usually broadcast... Uh, why is this story so familiar? Based on the fact that Weller and his boss’s wife were afflicted with each other and were smashed on the spot, it combined with the fact that Bishop Renato suffered from "intentional illness," and 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 couldn't accept it.
Lehman hesitated, 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, and gave Shang Jianyao a look, telling him not to continue "reasoning" and saying, "I understand, it was Lars and Hevig who had an affair, and was specially Reza found out that she became angry and asked the adulterer Bishop Renato to help kill the male third party."
Let alone the chaos and complexity of this story, it will definitely cause emotional damage to Lehman.
Shang Jian Yao returned with regretful eyes and closed his mouth.
Jiang Baimian then asked:
"Then did you find any clues later?"
Lehman slowed down for a few seconds before saying:
"I found out that he had visited the'Visa Trading Company' and met with a housekeeper in Dimarco. The housekeeper was Ulrich.
"Apart from this, there are no other clues. I mobilized people and asked a lot of people from the Redstone Collection to help me check the ‘boat below the ground’, but nothing was gained.
"I even went to Ulrich personally, but he said that Lars had disappeared after knowing that his sister had passed away unfortunately. Yes, Lars's sister had indeed entered the "Ark under the Earth" and became a servant inside. , But fell ill and died within a few months."
Sick and die? Jiang Baimian suddenly thought of what Viyer had said before:
DiMarco is very cruel and likes to vent his anger on his servants, not taking human life seriously.
Lehman glanced at the woman wearing a delicate monk's mask, and said carefully:
"Recently, I got a news through Hervig.
"The'boat below the ground' has an exit somewhere in Tieshan, where people often come and go."
Tieshan is the northern part of the ruins of the city, where the monsters live. On the other side of the Tieshan Mountains, there is a more famous ruin called "Tieshan City".
This is consistent with the information provided by Vier...Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:
"How did Herwig know?"
Lehman had no intention of concealing for the deceased:
"He knew it from Ankhbas, and Ankhbas heard it from the mountain monsters."
Also, Ankhbas and the mountain monsters have been trading secretly...wait, the "underground boat" has an exit somewhere in Iron Mountain...there must be not far from the place where the mountain monsters live, if Di Marco wants to sell the redstone The information gathered can be completely unknowingly... Jiang Baimian quickly put the matter together.
"Where is it?" she asked.
Lehman took out a hand-drawn map and pointed to the red circle on it:
"Here."
He immediately described what the signs on the map represented, so that the "Qianbai Team" could accurately find the destination.
After talking about this, Lehman took out another photo:
"This was taken not long before Lars disappeared."
Jiang Baimian took the photo, glanced at it, and found that Lars was a very masculine man.
He has short flax hair, a straight nose, light blue eyes, and a shallow beard around his mouth. The biggest feature is a small blue birthmark on his forehead.
As for the height, it is not obvious from the photos.
After Jiang Baimian finished reading the photos, Lehman considered it and said:
"I don't expect you to agree to me now. I just hope that you will help me pay attention to it during the investigation of the'Ark Below the Earth.'
"If you can find out his whereabouts or related clues by the way, you can come to me to ask for payment at any time."
He's very good at being a man... Well, or else he won't be an arms dealer with a wealth of wealth... The only problem is that this kind of speculative wink and a low posture, he only uses people who are better than him... Jiang Baimian Nodding lightly:
"We will help you pay attention."
"What reward can you give?" Shang Jianyao interrupted and asked.
This time, Jiang Baimian did not stare at him, because that was what she wanted to ask.
Lehman smiled a little:
"For example, newer exoskeleton devices, but it may take a year or so to get a chance.
"Similarly, there is also a T1 multifunctional robotic arm. I have 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 finished listening quietly and reminded:
"You don't have to expect too much."
…………
After leaving Lehman and having lunch, the "Old Tune Team" drove a jeep and drove to Tieshan to the north.
"Is this a trap?" Long Yuehong said vigilantly on the way.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"Let's not talk about whether there is a necessary reason to deal with us. Even if there is, our team's strength has been improved. Now it is truly 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 happy in her heart.
While talking, they followed the directions on the map for nearly two hours, finally arrived at Tieshan and found the exit of the "boat below the ground" in a hidden place at the foot of the mountain.
This is a valley with a path leading to a cave, and the entrance of the "boat below the ground" is in the depths of the cave.
Jiang Baimian didn't let Shang Jianyao and the others immediately move closer, but found a nearby high point that was convenient for monitoring ~EbookFREE.me~ and hid it, watching closely at the entrance of the cave.
As time passed by, the sky gradually became dim, and Long Yuehong squatted and became a little impatient.
He tilted his head, looked at Shang Jianyao hiding behind a few trees, and asked in a casual chat:
"Don't you feel boring?"
"I am a stone now, and the stone will not feel boring." Shang Jianyao said without squinting.
"..." Long Yuehong couldn't help but replied, "The stone can't speak either."
"I'm playing a talking stone." Shang Jianyao explained calmly.
I'm so stupid, really...Long Yuehong cursed herself in her heart, thinking it's more interesting to squat.
At this moment, two people came out of the hole, they were carrying a heavy sack.
