'Who burned the warehouse and destroyed the scene?
Are they the accomplices of those spies of the Sun Dynasty? It was possible that the fifteen people he had killed that day might not be all of them. There might be other people from the Sun Dynasty lurking in this city. Those lurkers might know that this warehouse was one of their secret strongholds.
'But why did they burn this place down? To destroy the evidence? That's possible. But wouldn't it be too eye-catching to light a fire? If there were spies that I didn't kill, what would they do when they found that all of their companions had been killed? If it were Zhang Tie, he would definitely escape at the first possible moment. He would never stay in Blapei, not to mention setting fire to this place.
'I wonder whether those corpses are in the fire or not? ' 'In this case, someone should have come to investigate the scene of the fire. If more than ten corpses suddenly appeared at the scene of the fire, no one would ignore them. ' Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem In the Norman Empire, when corpses were found on the scene of a fire, a yellow cordon would be drawn around the ruins, which would be kept for a long time. However, Zhang Tie didn't see any cordon around the scene of the fire just now. Did it mean that the corpses in the ruins had disappeared...
It was a good day, but all these questions made Zhang Tie feel like he was shrouded in a layer of fog.
As this event was involved with Zhang Tie's biggest secret, Zhang Tie couldn't ignore it. Zhang Tie always felt that the place which had been burned into ruins was a place that was not used by others. Zhang Tie always felt that the place that had been burned into ruins revealed a strange feeling, which made him feel scared.
After arriving at the block where Mr. and Mrs. Green lived, Zhang Tie got off the carriage. After making a mark on a street lamp, he returned to his rented place.
As usual, at this time in the morning, Mr. and Mrs. Green were carefully taking care of their vegetables in the vegetable garden in front of the window downstairs. Perhaps Zhang Tie had shocked them too much that night one week ago, when Mr. Green saw Zhang Tie this time, although he still took off his hat and greeted Zhang Tie, Mr. Green still greeted him. But he saw a trace of fear and hesitation on the old couple's faces.
For the two old men who had lived peacefully in Blapei for dozens of years, Zhang Tie's cold-blooded behavior of ordering a soldier to chop off a person's head without any hesitation and what he had done afterward, even though Zhang Tie felt that he was already very merciful, in their eyes, such a military officer of the Norman Empire who could kill people easily still made them scared.
Zhang Tie went upstairs. The moment he arrived at the entrance of the staircase on the first floor, he had caught sight of the young couple on the second floor who was carrying a vegetable basket. At the sight of Zhang Tie, her face turned pale at once. Leaning against the edge of the staircase, she forced a smile and waited for Zhang Tie to go there first.
Zhang Tie let out a sigh helplessly as he didn't say anything. He walked up the stairs and arrived at his room on the fourth floor.
After a few minutes, Zhang Tie, who had changed a set of military officer's uniform, left the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Green. After that, he hailed a carriage and headed straight for the base where the No. 9 Equipment Department of the Comprehensive Logistics Support Office was located.
To Zhang Tie's arrival. Second Lieutenant Pi Ping showed his welcome and enthusiasm as usual. However, he obviously misunderstood Zhang Tie's intention. Soon after Zhang Tie arrived, in the office. Second Lieutenant Pi Ping obediently took over an account book and a purse. The gray income of the No. 9 Equipment Department was distributed once every two weeks. Therefore, Second Lieutenant Pi Ping thought that Zhang Tie was here for money.
The pattern on the front and back of the standard gold coins of the Norman Empire was an iron tree fern and a crossed Battle God Spear. One of these two patterns was the national flower of the Norman Empire, while the other was the symbol of the national religion of the Norman Empire. Rubbing the finely made and tactile gold coins in his hand, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. This kind of life was what he had always dreamed of. Every day, he could earn a lot of gold coins without doing anything. He didn't need to be as rich as a country, he only needed to be rich enough. With these gold coins, he could purchase an estate or find a lot of beautiful women. After that, he could live like a pig, rolling around in piles of women and gold coins. Now, this kind of life seemed to be within his reach. However, Zhang Tie knew that if he didn't try his best to move forward, he and everything he owned would become powder in less than two days.
It seemed that there was a thing that might bring him great trouble in front of him.
Seeing Zhang Tie sigh while holding the gold coins, Second Lieutenant Pi Ping, who had been observing Zhang Tie's expression, thought that Zhang Tie was not satisfied with the gold coins.
"Although it's not a lot of gold coins, it's a tradition that has been formed over the years. If you want to break this tradition, you may offend a lot of people. In the past, there were people who sat in your position who wanted to get a bigger share, but in the end, they didn't stay in this position for long!" Second Lieutenant Pi Ping said carefully. After all, money could move people's hearts. Although he could get 10% of the profit, he was always thinking about when he could get 20% of the profit. Second Lieutenant Pi Ping felt that this new first lieutenant section chief might also want to get more when he got 20% of the profit.
Glancing at Second Lieutenant Pi Ping in front of him, Zhang Tie smiled and put away the heavy bag of gold coins. Zhang Tie could feel that there were at least 22 gold coins in the bag, which was equivalent to his dad's two years' salary. For commoners, this was not a small amount of money. "Second Lieutenant, I'm very satisfied with the current situation. I don't intend to change anything, so you don't need to worry about it!"
Second Lieutenant Pi Ping let out a sigh inside.
"Oh, I've been recuperating in the countryside this week. Why is the atmosphere in Blapei even more intense than last week? Haven't those saboteurs of the Sun Dynasty been caught yet?" Zhang Tie asked casually after drinking a mouthful of water.
"On Wednesday, two soldiers of No. 21 Division went missing in Blapei. Because of this, Because of this, the atmosphere in Blapei has become intense once again! " Second Lieutenant Pi Ping said in a low voice, "As we don't want to cause an intense atmosphere in Blapei, we didn't disclose this news to the public!"
Zhang Tie became stunned. "Was it done by those saboteurs of the Sun Dynasty?"
"It's very possible. But I don't know the details. It's those red gloves of the Norman Empire who are responsible for catching those saboteurs. They've been in Blapei for two weeks. Pitifully, they still haven't found anything. It seems that those guys don't live up to their reputation..." Second Lieutenant Pi Ping revealed a sneering smile.
"Red gloves?" Hearing this word for the first time, Zhang Tie glanced at Second Lieutenant Pi Ping with a dubious look. "What red gloves?"
Not until then did Second Lieutenant Pi Ping realize that as his commanding officer who had just come out of Blackhot City, he might not know who the "red gloves" of the Norman Empire were. Therefore, he explained it to Zhang Tie seriously. Even though Second Lieutenant Pi Ping was always sly, when he talked about those people, he couldn't help but reveal a disgusted look. The entire Iron-Horn Army probably didn't like those guys in red gloves.
"You mean, those who are responsible for catching saboteurs and saboteurs of the Norman Empire in Blapei are the secret police under the Imperial Order Review Committee?" This news shocked Zhang Tie.
"Right, those guys' arrival in Blapei seems to be related to the contradiction between the big figures above. It's said that Marshal Lin Changjiang and the big figures of the Imperial Order Review Committee don't get along well..." Second Lieutenant Pi Ping then explained to Zhang Tie the inside story of those red gloves' arrival in Blapei because of the explosion case. "Because of the disappearance of the two soldiers of No. 21 Division, everybody suspects that it was done by the saboteurs of the Sun Dynasty. Nobody knows what they are going to do next. All the commanding officers above are very angry, so the atmosphere in Blapei is a bit intense these days. Additionally, many more red gloves have been transferred here from outside this week... "
'Is there another batch of saboteurs of the Sun Dynasty in Blapei besides those I've killed? ' Thinking of this answer, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. Perhaps the warehouse was really burned by those people. Those guys were really not afraid of death. After being exposed, they didn't escape immediately. There might be some secrets in the warehouse that they didn't want others to know. After all, he didn't do a thorough inspection of the warehouse.
Zhang Tie found several "suitable reasons" for what had happened.
At this moment, Zhang Tie... He didn't think that those "red gloves" mentioned by Second Lieutenant Pi Ping would have anything to do with him. "Red gloves" were just tools that big figures threw into Blapei. Their targets were those guys of the Sun Dynasty. How could they have anything to do with a small figure like me? "
Although he still had some doubts, Zhang Tie put it aside for the time being.
"Do you have any acquaintances in the Equipment Center of the corps?" Zhang Tie asked Pi Ping.
"I know all the military officers in the Logistics Department of the Iron-Horn Army!" Second Lieutenant Pi Ping said proudly.
This was the advantage of people like Second Lieutenant Pi Ping. No matter where he was, he would always be well-informed. Additionally, he could make a lot of friends. Although people like Reinhardt were awe-inspiring on the battlefield, people like Second Lieutenant Pi Ping could also be skillful in some places.
"Then, go drive the car and follow me to the Equipment Center of the corps."
"Sir, what are you going to do..."
"Can't the winner of the Iron-Blood Medal get a special equipment as a reward from the Equipment Center of the corps?" Zhang Tie smiled. A few days ago, he had almost become a disabled person. Therefore, he didn't care about the special equipment of the Iron-Blood Medal as a reward. After all, he couldn't use it. Now that he had completely recovered, if he didn't take such a benefit, would he still be himself? Coincidentally, he didn't have a suitable weapon at the moment. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to choose a weapon from the Equipment Center.
