"What's the matter?" Luo Lan saw Ren Xiaosu lowering his head in thought. It seemed that his words had given Ren Xiaosu some clues.
Ren Xiaosu said, "Are you sure the Kyung Clan's nanomachines were only given to the Zhou Clan, the Northwest, and me?"
"Of course, I personally arranged for them to be escorted," Luo Lan said.
With that, Ren Xiaosu seemed to have figured out a lot of things.
Before this, nanosoldiers had suddenly appeared in Stronghold 61 and attacked Jiang Xu.
At that time, Ren Xiaosu was thinking it was either Zero or the Kyung Clan who did it. But now, there were two more possibilities.
A small portion of the nanomachines that Luo Lan had sent to Luoyang City were now with him, while the majority were with Wang Yuchi and the others. Ren Xiaosu firmly believed that Wang Yuchi and the others would definitely not be involved in something like killing Jiang Xu.
As for the batch of nanomachines that was sent to the Northwest, Ren Xiaosu also firmly believed that the people in the Northwest would not do such a thing. The nanomachines that the Kyung Clan had sent over must have been under very strict control. If a batch was missing and secretly misappropriated, it would definitely be discovered.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu still had to get Big Bluff to confirm if the batch of nanomachines was still there.
Then all that was left was the Zhou Clan.
The Zhou Clan and the Wang Clan had a long-standing feud. At the beginning, the Wang Clan made many of the Zhou Clan refugees hide in the mountains to raise silkworms through trade. Later, when Stronghold 61 started taking in refugees, it caused many of the Zhou Clan's factories to stop working.
All of the organizations in the Central Plains had thoughts of annexing each other, so it was normal for them to be wary of each other.
Now that the Wang Clan was about to take over the Pyro Company and the Kong Clan, how could the Zhou Clan not panic?
The murder of Jiang Xu would inevitably cause the entire Barrier Alliance to hate the Wang Clan, which was what the Zhou Clan wanted to see.
The Kyung Clan had given some nanomachines to the Zhou Clan, but the Zhou Clan did not dare use them on any important figures. Instead, if they were to use the nanosoldiers to assassinate Jiang Xu, the Wang Clan would also suspect the Kyung Clan. That would deepen the rift between the Wang Clan and the Kyung Clan.
Moreover, if the Wang Clan could be blamed for Luo Lan's murder, and the Kyung Clan could start a war with the Wang Clan, the Zhou Clan could hide behind them. This would be the best deal in the world.
As the saying went, if the mastermind and culprit could not be found after something had happened, then the first thing to suspect was the person who would benefit from it.
So when Luo Lan mentioned the Zhou Clan, Ren Xiaosu felt like everything made sense now.
Then, all the clues would have a complete logical explanation.
However, explanations aside, Ren Xiaosu still decided to wait for Wang Yun's analysis first.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan. "Since the nanomachines given to the Zhou Clan have a backdoor program, can we use it to find out where the nanomachines went?"
Luo Lan shook his head. "We usually don't activate the backdoor program to avoid being discovered, but it can indeed be done. It's just that our military network has been destroyed by the AI, so we can't track them. "
…
Three days later, Zhou Yingxue led Wang Yuchi and the others to Stronghold 144.
On the second day after they left Luoyang City, a secret force suddenly intercepted them in the wilderness. However, the outcome was obvious. All of them were suppressed by Zhou Yingxue.
At that time, Zhou Yingxue even left a group of enemy troops behind for Wang Yuchi and the others to practice with. She hoped they could get used to the fast-paced battle as soon as possible.
As a result, a strange scene unfolded. The creeper vines surrounded the surviving enemies and let Wang Yuchi and the others beat them up. Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue kept cheering them on from outside the circle.
When the time came, the enemies who came to kill them would think how stupid they were to come and kill these people!
How could this be considered a proper battle? It was simply an insult to them.
If it weren't for the fact that Ren Xiaosu was anxiously waiting for the analysis results of the surveillance footage, Zhou Yingxue would probably have been able to do it for another two days. After all, where else could she find such a good sparring partner?
These adorable little brothers of hers needed such sparring partners right now!
It had to be said that Zhou Yingxue really treated Wang Yuchi and the others very well. It was not only because of the familial affection she had developed from taking care of them. Zhou Yingxue was also thinking that if her master were to get another maidservant in the future, her little brothers could also stand on her side and speak up for her.
Although Zhou Yingxue felt that with Yang Xiaojin around, Ren Xiaosu would probably not get another maidservant, wasn't this just a precaution?
When they arrived at Stronghold 144, Wang Yun, Big Bluff, and the others were already waiting at the city gate.
Big Bluff had helped Ren Xiaosu confirm that the nanomachines given to him by the Kyung Clan were all stored in Fortress 178 and had not been touched at all. This made Ren Xiaosu heave a sigh of relief. At the very least, the suspicion of him being a mole had been eliminated.
Next, it would be up to Wang Yun's performance.
Three days ago, Ren Xiaosu had informed Big Bluff to prepare a venue for Wang Yun to analyze the footage. After they received the black boxes, they would immediately rush to the military camp near Stronghold 144.
A huge conference room had been vacated there, and the entire wall of the conference room was inlaid with countless screens.
Zhang Xiaoman led his men to connect the ports one by one. In an instant, all the screens lit up and displayed different images.
Wang Yun stood silently across the screen with his arms crossed. All of the images were recorded in his mind at the same time before being accurately analyzed.
"Speed up the playback of the video by three times." Wang Yun said, "Otherwise, it'll take a month to finish watching all of these videos. Young Marshal can't wait that long."
There was a serial number pasted on the upper right corner of the screens. If Wang Yun wanted to pause the video, he could just say the serial number.
When the video started playing, Wang Yun stood there without saying a word. Beside him were dozens of intelligence personnel from the Northwest who had been dispatched by Big Bluff to cooperate with Wang Yun.
These dozens of people were all working for him alone.
Before this, Wang Yun had first watched the video of Ren Xiaosu's battle in Luoyang City. After that, he memorized all of the hitmen who appeared in the video. Therefore, as long as the other party appeared in the video for a month, Wang Yun would definitely be able to find traces of them.
Suddenly, Wang Yun said, "Pause screen A17. The middle-aged man who appeared on the screen left screen A18 and reappeared on screen A17 ten seconds later with a black plastic bag in his hand. In that short 12 seconds, someone must've contacted him from a blind spot in the surveillance cameras. They took a video of this person and sent it to Young Marshal so that he could find this person in Luoyang City and interrogate him. Alright, let's continue. Rewind all the surveillance footage around screen A17. I want to find out who the person he contacted is! "
Big Bluff and the others watched in shock. There were over a hundred screens in front of them. Previously, they only knew that Wang Yun had an amazing memory, but they did not expect it to be this terrifying.
