Chapter 688, no body


    Hear what the team members brought back.


    On the association''s side, all faces turned gloomy.


    The name of the headquarters has been mentioned, but this is not giving any face.


    Tapani''s face instantly darkened, and there was anger in his eyes.


    "Arrogant!"


    Level 18 professionals are the top experts in this world.


    Not to mention these people, in the past, the royal family of the Kingdom should have come to receive them in person.


    Now he is being treated like this by the troops stationed in one place.


    The old mage Gianvito touched his beard and said with a smile: "They are just some soldiers guarding the port. They are acting under orders. Why bother with them?"


    Tapani then said: "Then what do you think we should do? It''s not easy for us to kill them."


    Gianvito looked to the other side and asked, "Wu Heng, what do you think?"


    Wu Heng said directly: "Netali City is already under suspicion. It is impossible to act based on their mood. We are here to handle cases, not to make friends, so our attitude must be tough."


    Tapani raised an eyebrow.


    This means they have no courage.


    "Then you handle it. If something happens, the elders and I will naturally support you." Gianvito said directly.


    Wu Heng nodded and said to his side: "Philippa went to shout, and said that the association''s elders would lead a team into the city to investigate the case. Any behavior that blocks ships from docking will be regarded as a provocation to the association and will be punished by the association. Assault and arrest warrant."


    "Okay." Philippa walked quickly to the cab, picked up the microphone and started shouting.


    The sound of the trumpet instantly swayed on the sea.


    It was transmitted to the ships on the opposite side and the port of Netale City.


    "Crash it over!" Wu Heng continued.


    The fleet began to restart and forced its way towards the port.


    The huge freighter moved forward at full speed, causing the waves that caused the blocking fleet to sway violently.


    Seeing the huge ship like a mountain colliding head-on, the navy ships could not withstand the pressure and quickly fled to both sides.


    The association''s fleet ran rampant, and the kingdom''s fleet also tried to avoid it.


    The two sides passed each other, but they still maintained restraint, and neither side used weapons to attack.


    Just watching the association''s fleet break through the defense line and finally dock in the port.


    The connecting board fell, and a large number of skeletons wearing armor and holding weapons poured into the port, surrounding the entire area.


    Next, there are the various teams accompanying the association, level 15 professionals and followers.


    On the battleship, Tapani and Wu Heng also stepped off the ship.


    Wow~!


    At this time, a large number of troops gathered on one side of the port.


    No one came close, they were just watching from a distance.


    Tapani looked gloomy and said, "Go and capture their leader."


    A group of team members ran over quickly.


    After a quick exchange, a man in charge of dressing up was brought over.


    Tapani remained calm and stared at the other party coldly. The commander was feeling frightened, his eyes were wandering and he lowered his head.


    "What''s your name?"


    "Gnaeus! My lord."


    Tapani looked to one side and said, "Write it down for him. If there is a second time, put him on a wanted notice."


    In an instant, cold sweat covered the forehead of the still calm commander.


    "Sir, we are just following orders, it has nothing to do with me."


    "It''s my fault that your superiors are making a fuss about you. The port is taken over by our association. If anything goes wrong, just wait and take your family to escape." Tapani said, turned around and left.


    Only the commander was left, wiping his hands in cold sweat.


    Standing there, a little at a loss.


    Wu Heng began to arrange tasks for Philippa.


    Regardless of the association in the city, the port fleet must still be guarded by personnel.


    If we really encounter any problems, this is also the retreat for those in the association.


    After the fleet is arranged.


    Wu Hengcai walked towards everyone in the association and rushed towards the association hall together.


    …


    The whole street was unusually empty.


    There are basically no residents to be seen, and the shops are all closed.


    There were only some soldiers in guard uniforms, rushing to the port quickly.


    On the way, I saw the aggressive people from the association, but no one came forward and just watched from a distance.


    "Wu Heng, aren''t you from Congyeke Kingdom?" Elder Tapani said.


    Wu Heng shook his head, "I worked as a team member in the northern part of Yeko Kingdom for a while, and I came out within a few months."


    "How are you feeling?" Tapani asked.


    Old mage Zhanvito also said: "I heard that Wu Heng was suppressed very hard here."


    Wu Heng also smiled and said, "It''s not considered suppression. There are many restrictions on necromancers in the Kingdom. I didn''t know much about these at the time, so some troubles occurred."


    After a pause, Wu Heng added, "The Kingdom of Yeke at that time may not have been a good place for necromancers, but it was indeed pretty good for the residents of the kingdom."


    Everyone nodded and said nothing more.


    He continued to quicken his pace.


    …


    City Lord''s Mansion.


    City Lord ‘Dasil’ is in his forties, a level 16 ranger, wearing a purple robe, and looks like an upright and peaceful bard.


    At this time, I was standing in the courtyard, listening to the people who came to deliver the message, reporting the news that the association''s headquarters fleet had entered the city.


    As he narrated, his originally calm expression gradually became serious.


    "Who are the people on the island?" Dashil asked.


    "I saw elves, dwarves, and mages. I don''t know their specific identities." The subordinate said, and then suddenly said: "By the way, there are a large number of skeletons in the fleet guarding the port, and there is also a black-haired and black-eyed man. The man should be Wu Heng from Treasure Island."


    Dashil narrowed his eyes slightly and stood there pondering for a while.


    Said: "Since they have entered the city, forget it and tell them to go down and not to conflict with them."


    "Yes." The subordinate nodded and left quickly.


    Dashil, who was sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, suddenly turned his head and looked to the side.


    After waiting for a few seconds, footsteps sounded, and a man wearing the uniform of the commander of the Yeko Kingdom walked in.


    The man is tall and tall, with a square face and a beard, and walks with a steady pace.


    "People from the association headquarters entered the city and forced their way into the port." said the square-faced man.


    Dashil nodded, "I also received the news. There are people from the association headquarters and Wu Heng, the owner of Treasure Island."


    "I saw their ship. It''s very exaggerated. It looks like a small island. It''s pretty good..."


    "Luchana..." Dasil interrupted solemnly, "Don''t say this, it will damage the relationship with the association."


    The man sneered, "Afraid of what they will do."


    But he did not continue to say anything more, but said more vaguely: "What are you going to do?"


    "The headquarters is here to investigate, so of course we have to cooperate." Dasil said.


    The man raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Take care of it."


    …


    Association Hall.


    Everyone in the headquarters sat on one side, and on the opposite side stood members of the local association.


    Elder Tapani asked: "Tell me the situation of the association."


    A local deputy deacon took a step forward and said softly: "Netale City is in turmoil, and all outward news cannot be sent out. Currently, the deacon and the two teams are missing."


    Several people''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    Missing.


    The greater probability is that the information obtained is already dead.


    Moreover, it is even more difficult than death. Without a body, there is no clue to the next step.


    "Where did he disappear? Is there any investigation?" Tapani asked.


    "The city was too chaotic at that time. Many people died every day, including gang members, outside troops, and cults. It was too chaotic and there was no way to investigate." The deputy deacon looked bitter.


    Tapani glanced at Wu Heng, and seeing that he had nothing to add, he said directly: "Starting today, I will be in charge of the association, and Wu Heng, the owner of Treasure Island, will investigate the disappearance of the deacon and the team. You will spare no effort to cooperate. , investigate and find out the truth as soon as possible." "Yes." Several people nodded.


    "Go back to your respective posts. We are here, and you will no longer be in danger."


    "Thank you elders, thank you to the master of Wuheng Island, and all the adults."


    They saluted in turn and then retreated.


    …


    After meeting the local members.


    Tapani brought several people from the team to the conference room to discuss again.


    His eyes fell on Wu Heng and he said, "What are your plans?"


    The identity of the great detective allowed the association to hand over the investigation of the case to Wu Heng.


    The rest of the people are also here to support him and deal with some emergencies.


    At present, the difficulty is still relatively large.


    The Whisperer who went to Treasure Island to deliver news said that the local deacon was dead and Netale City deliberately blocked the information.


    After arriving here, there was not even a body, nor was there a target for the murderer.


    Moreover, Netale City itself is a target of suspicion.


    For a while, there was no direction to proceed.


    Wu Heng said: "I need to go to the archives first to check the situation."


    "Okay!" Tapani looked around, "Dean Gianvito, Mr. Sim, two people selected from level 15 professionals, plus two teams, will follow Wu Heng to investigate, and the rest will follow me. association."


    "Yes." Everyone nodded.


    Two level 18 professionals were assigned to him. Sim was an investigator and had limited combat capabilities.


    The main one who protects himself is Gianvito.


    Wu Heng chose the dwarf and the vampire wearing a heavy cloak among the level 15 professionals, and walked out of the conference room together.


    After asking about the location of the archives room, the group walked over quickly.


    Gianvito reminded: "The files of the Whisperers are generally not recorded and can only be transferred from the headquarters."


    "I know, check it out first and try your luck." Wu Heng said.


    When you go to the archives, you are not looking for secret whisperers. This kind of person will basically leave no information locally.


    Instead, check the files of local deacons.


    Generally, the exclusive Whisperer will leave a vague record in the file.


    He didn''t know about this until he arrived at Treasure Island.


    At that time, Philippa was acting as an informant and did not have his own file, but he would make a vague mark under Wu Heng''s file.


    If something happens to either party, they can use this record to make a preliminary confirmation.


    Take a few quick steps to the association’s archives.


    The caretaker immediately came over and said, "Several adults."


    "Bring me the deacon''s file."


    "Okay, my lord."


    Soon, a thick file was taken out.


    Opening the file bag, Wu Heng began to look through it carefully.


    In the file, three different names were recorded, all of whom were released due to errors in arrest or meritorious service.


    Not sure if the informant is inside, but there is still a certain chance.


    Wu Heng took out his tablet and took pictures of the files one by one.


    Then write three names on the paper, "Kaitan."


    "Master of Wuheng Island." The dwarf walked up.


    "Remember the names of these three people and take people to the city hall to investigate whether there are any properties or records. Bring more people. They may not cooperate. Be tougher." Wu Heng said.


    "Understood." The dwarf nodded, nodded a few people from the team, and left quickly.


    Wu Heng also walked out of the archives room, took the remaining people, and continued to the deacon''s residence.


    …


    Deacons need to sit in the association.


    Often the residence is not too far from the association.


    The residence of the deacon of Treasure Island is connected to the association. It can be regarded as a separate mansion built behind the association building.


    In Netale City, the deacon''s residence was not built like this, but it was also in a residential area at the back.


    As you walk over, you can see several guards guarding the place.


    Not a member of the association, a guard of Netale City.


    When the guards saw the aggressive group of people approaching, they immediately became panicked.


    He yelled, "Who is that?"


    "The association headquarters is investigating the case. Who asked you to guard this place?" Wu Heng asked.


    Association, headquarters?


    The guard obviously hadn''t received the news from the city, and he looked a little confused.


    "You are not allowed to enter here. Sir, please go and talk to our captain." The guard said.


    Wu Heng was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly: "Catch him."


    The people behind him swarmed up and immediately arrested the guards here.


    "Sir, what are you doing? You have something to say."


    "This is Netale City."


    Several people were a little flustered and spoke loudly.


    Wu Heng said: "Let one person go and report the news. If anyone else is talking, keep their mouths shut."


    Let one of them go and let him leave to report the news.


    Wu Heng took the rest of the people and directly entered the deacon''s residence.


    The door was opened easily, and shoe prints walking back and forth could be seen on the dusty ground.


    Wu Heng said: "Someone has been here recently, and the shoe prints are clear and not covered by dust."


    The investigator behind him started recording.


    Wu Heng continued to look at the room, including carvings, calligraphy and paintings, and some daily necessities and ornaments.


    The life of a deacon in Netale City is pretty good.


    Locally, it should be considered a high-level life.


    "Something is missing. It must have been taken away."


    The investigator continued to record.


    Wu Heng walked directly into the bedroom and found a piece of clothing that he obviously wore frequently.


    Then he took out the [Tracking Pendant] from the space ring, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it on the skull.


    Then, the skull began to come to life.


    Passing the corner of the clothes over, the skull bit it and began to chew hard.


    Under Wu Heng''s gaze.


    The skull seemed to have lost its vitality and dropped directly.


    This strange object can track all living targets.


    Before there was a prophet skeleton, finding people or solving crimes relied on this strange object.


    If there is no target that can be tracked, it means that the person is dead.


    "If this deacon doesn''t have the tools to shield strange objects, he should be dead." Wu Heng said to several people.


    The investigator continued to record.


    While several people were talking, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a guard captain walked in quickly.


    Several patrol members followed behind him.


    The captain''s eyes quickly swept over several people, looking at the clothes and the aura exuding from their bodies.


    His eyes narrowed slightly.


    He took a step forward, saluted and said, "Captain of Team 7, I have met several adults from the association."


    After saying this, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and said, "Here is the recovered money. All of it is already here."


    Wu Heng looked at the cloth bag handed over.


    He shook it in his hand and asked, "How do you know that the association''s deacon will not come back?"


    "Ah? What do you mean?" The captain frowned.


    Wu Heng looked directly at the other party and asked again: "People in the association only speculate that the person is missing. How can you confirm that he will not come back and dare to take away the contents?"
