The two people who came out of the hole were dressed in olive green uniforms, each carrying a submachine gun, and seemed to be the guards of the "underground ark".
They glanced left and right to confirm that there was no one else around, then carried the heavy sack and walked deep into the valley.
It didn't take long for them to find a place where the soil was softer and pulled out two shovels from the sack.
Jiang Baimian winked at the team members, led them to touch down from a high point quietly, and dived to a place not far from the two "underground ark" guards.
"Go." She immediately suppressed her voice and said something to Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jian Yao did his part, holding a "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle, rushed out of the cover, and shouted to the two "underground ark" guards who were digging a hole:
"You are surrounded!"
The two guards were startled, dropped their shovels at the same time, and rushed to different places, trying to find cover and avoid the first round of fire.
However, as soon as they completed the first step, they saw the dark "muzzle" of the "Reaper" rocket launcher, and saw the grenade gun ready to fire.
As their thoughts flashed, they stopped, raised their hands, put them behind their heads, and slowly squatted down.
Shang Jianyao, wearing a monkey mask, walked over and said with a smile:
"Don't be afraid, we're just here to be friends."
The two "underground ark" guards raised their heads at the same time, glanced at the assault rifle in Shang Jianyao's hand, and lowered their heads silently.
The two of them are typical Red River people, one with brown hair, one with yellow hair, one with blue eyes, one with brown eyes, both with beards, and there is nothing special about their appearance - if you have to pick out the features, it may be one with a big nose. One eyebrow is quite bushy.
Shang Jianyao immediately smiled and said:
"Look at:
"I did not shoot you, but spoke to you calmly;
"Never let you lay down your weapons and let me slaughter;
"so… "
Hearing what he said, the two guards suddenly felt that this guy was quite kind, and it seemed that he was really just here to make friends.
"I told you earlier, it scared us." The brown-haired, blue-eyed guard with a bigger nose was more courageous and stood up quickly.
"What's your name?" Shang Jianyao showed his friendliness.
The guard said casually:
"Just call me Joseph, he's Paul.
"And you?"
"Zhang Qubing." Shang Jianyao said his pseudonym in Honghe language.
"Are you grey-speaking people?" Joseph asked clearly when he heard the translated name.
"Humans are human beings, and there is no need to divide various groups." Shang Jianyao emphasized his opinion.
At this time, Jiang Baimian had already walked to the sack and squatted down.
She carefully backed the bag back down, revealing its contents.
This is a corpse.
He was wearing a black dress, his hair was a little gray, and there was blood on his chest.
"Butler Carl!" Jiang Baimian recognized the corpse.
This is Carl, one of DiMarco's three housekeepers, who is in charge of arms business.
He had an interview with the alerter Song He just this morning, saying that they had not sold information to murlocs and mountain monsters, and now, his neatly combed hair has become abnormally messy.
In just a few hours, he turned into a corpse.
"Butler Carl?" Long Yuehong repeated in surprise, not expecting that the sack contained such a corpse.
He thought it was someone who had provoked DiMarco's servant.
Of course, strictly speaking, the steward is also one of the servants.
"Why did Butler Carl die?" Shang Jianyao asked the two "underground ark" guards who had established a friendly relationship.
This time, instead of "making friends" directly, he used the "reasoning clown" to simulate the friendly effect of Song He, the alerter.
At this time, after a simple inspection, Jiang Baimian initially confirmed that Carl died of a gunshot in the chest.
Joseph with a bigger nose had a gloomy expression:
"Killed by Mr. DiMarco."
"Why?" Long Yuehong blurted out.
He remembered that Butler Carl was a loyal person, and he was also a follower of the Vigilant Sect. In order to help DiMarco manage the arms business, he chose not to hide.
Paul and Joseph, who had bushy eyebrows, looked at each other and said hesitantly:
"After seeing the alerter from the Vigilant Sect in the morning, Steward Carl has been wanting to see Mr. DiMarco.
"At that time, Mr Dimarco was resting in the room and only let him in in the afternoon.
"We don't know exactly what they talked about. We only know that a quarrel broke out later. Mr. DiMarco, in a rage, pulled a gun and killed Butler Carl."
At the same time as Jiang Baimian got up, Shang Jianyao played the role of a "famous detective" and asked tacitly:
"Have you witnessed the quarrel in the back?"
Joseph shook his head:
"We only heard that the movement inside suddenly became very loud, and when the door was opened to protect Mr. DiMarco, he had shot butler Carl.
"The quarrel is something he said casually."
Could it be that after Butler Carl and Song Warner finished talking and returned to the "underground ark", he remembered something because of a certain opportunity, and began to suspect that it was really DiMarco who sold the news about Bishop Renato to the mountain monster? He tried to find an explanation, only to anger the brutal DiMarco and was shot directly? However, this is not in line with Carl's loyal image... A series of guesses flashed through Jiang Baimian's mind.
Suddenly, she keenly discovered a detail, so she asked:
"When Mr. DiMarco was talking to Butler Carl, was no one by his side?"
The guards outside the door are actually needed to come in to rescue.
Joseph replied:
"Yes, Mr. Dimarco won't let people stay in his room unless there is something to communicate, he doesn't like that."
Shang Jianyao suddenly clicked his tongue:
"He's really an unqualified vigilant sect follower."
After hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong discovered a contradiction in the descriptions just now:
As a follower of the Vigilance sect, DiMarco was not afraid of being attacked when he was alone with others, and chose to keep all the guards outside the door, which was too careless!
"Maybe he really just believed in 'Yougu' casually." Bai Chen felt that this was the most likely and most reasonable explanation.
Paul, the guard with bushy eyebrows, quickly denied:
"No, Mr Dimarco has always been religious.
"He often wears a mask, and in the past year, he wears it every day. Except for sleeping, he will not take it off."
Shang Jianyao immediately retorted:
"How do you know he took it off when he slept?"
Paul hesitated for a moment and said:
"I-I think so."
Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin and asked:
"Will he have sex with women, er, including men?"
"Yes, he has a lot of women." Although Joseph thought this topic was strange, he still answered honestly.
Shang Jianyao, wearing a monkey mask, laughed:
"Then will he take off the mask when he does something like that?"
Joseph and Paul looked at each other and began to recall each other.
After a while, Paul said:
"I've heard from several maids who have slept with Mr. DiMarco that sometimes they wear them and sometimes they don't."
"Yes." Joseph remembered some rumors, "In the early years, Mr. Dimarco did not wear a mask more often. Recently, it seems that he is wearing it."
"When is the specific dividing line?" Jiang Baimian asked.
"I don't know." Joseph and Paul shook their heads at the same time.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment, then asked:
"Did he wear it when he talked to Bishop Renato recently?"
"I do, he has been wearing it every day for the past year." Joseph replied affirmatively.
In the past year... Jiang Baimian suddenly thought of one thing:
It seems like it's been almost a year since Lehman's friend Lars disappeared!
This matter is getting more and more confusing... Jiang Baimian secretly sighed, Shang Jianyao has changed the topic:
"How are Dimarco and his ancestors doing?"
What performance? Joseph and Paul were a little confused.
Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes, sighed, and forcibly "explained":
"How did DiMarco and his ancestors rule the 'Underground Ark'?"
Joseph and Paul looked at each other, but neither spoke.
Shang Jianyao looked at them and said with a smile:
"There's no one else around."
Joseph seemed to have found support, took a deep breath and said:
"DiMarco and his ancestors have brutal blood running through them.
"My parents are also 'underground ark' people, one is a guard and the other is a maid. They told me that every year a large number of servants are killed for various reasons and buried in this valley, and only a few lucky ones are spared. ."
"You and your parents are the lucky ones?" Jiang Baimian asked very cooperatively.
Joseph shook his head slowly:
"No. DiMarco and his ancestors seldom killed guards and their families. Only a few years ago, when Mr. DiMarco lost his son, were a few guards executed for angering him. Normally, guards When they make mistakes, they give them two or three chances."
"Isn't that crazy?" Jiang Baimian commented without praise or criticism, "What happened to DiMarco losing his son?"
Joseph recalled:
"Mr Dimarco and his ancestors, though brutal, loved new life.
"Beginning with his grandfather, each generation of 'underground ark' owners have simultaneously had a large number of partners, had many children, and selected the best one to inherit the 'underground ark'.
"Moreover, they also encouraged guards, maids to combine and have children."
"All..." Shang Jianyao repeated one of the words.
Joseph nodded:
"It's true, at least that's what my parents told me."
He paused and continued:
"The dissatisfaction with the brutality has been accumulating, and after Mr. Dimarco's father was seriously ill, the servants couldn't bear it any longer and created a riot.
"This resulted in the death of many of Mr Dimarco's relatives and in the end only a few survived.
"After the riot was quelled, Mr. DiMarco became the owner of the 'underground ark' and found many partners inside. Who knows, after many years, only three children were born. Among them, what he loves most is The youngest, as a result, unfortunately, more than three years ago, this child died of illness.
"During that time, Mr. DiMarco was like crazy."
