Inside the room, there was a pool of congealed black blood by the door. The blood was splattered all the way to the middle of the room. Satoni looked at the navy uniform at his feet that was dyed red. The corpse was lying quietly in the pool of blood, yet there was no trace of the corpse. It was a strange sight to behold.
Judging by the amount of blood that was splattered, Second Lieutenant Kona was most likely dead. But how did the corpse disappear without a trace, yet the clothes were left at the scene? What was the reason for this?
Was there some kind of special message?
Satoni couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. He couldn't help but imagine a horrifying scene in his mind. The murderer carried a naked corpse through the corridor without leaving a single drop of blood on the floor.
How did he manage to carry a corpse away from here?
No matter how hard Satoni racked his brain, he would never think that Second Lieutenant Kona's corpse never left the room. He was just swallowed up into thin air.
"For the time being, we will investigate Second Lieutenant Kona's death. Also, the other seven officers will be dealt with as well." Satoni stared at the major with a gloomy expression and said with certainty: "To be able to enter Second Lieutenant Kona's room without a sound and kill him, the murderer is most likely a marine of our 153 Branch."
"A total of eight officers were killed!!" The major's back was slightly numb. Beads of sweat covered his forehead. The murderer was still hiding in the branch, and was also a marine. This was simply insane.
"Looking at the bloodstains in the room, you still think they're just missing people? It's most likely that they're all dead. " Satoni stared at the major with a cold gaze and said in a deep voice: "Seal off the Naval Branch. Only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed. Start the investigation from the bottom of the branch. No one can move a corpse out of the base without alerting anyone. Therefore, if these eight officers were killed in the base, then their corpses must still be hidden in some corner of the base. I'll give you a week's time. If they're alive, I want to see them. If they're dead, I want to see their corpses!"
"Hiss …" The major was now in a panic.
"Find the culprit within a week, and don't allow anyone else to go missing. Otherwise …" Satoni's tone was serious. "We'll have to report this to Colonel Monca, and he'll definitely be very unhappy."
The major swallowed his saliva and waited for Satoni to leave with a gloomy face. Then he shouted at his subordinates: "What are you waiting for? Check every Marine one by one. Start with the people around Second Lieutenant Kona."
A room that was temporarily used as an interrogation room.
Tanner sat on the chair nervously. He was the last person to see Second Lieutenant Kona. He was also Second Lieutenant Kona's subordinate, and he was also a punching bag for Second Lieutenant Kona.
"Second Lieutenant Kona is dead?!"
Tanner was shocked. He looked at the major who was interrogating him, and his face was slightly pale. He was thinking about the note that appeared in the steamed bun during dinner last night. "Kona will be judged tonight. What you need to do is to stay in the dormitory for the whole night. Don't go out … Read it and eat it."
The major stared at Tanner. Based on the information he received, this soldier was the one who hated Second Lieutenant Kona the most in the base. He had the most motive to kill Second Lieutenant Kona.
"The last time I saw Second Lieutenant Kona was before dinner. After that, I stayed in the dormitory and didn't go anywhere." Tanner replied.
Soon, his testimony was verified by his roommate, and he was cleared of suspicion. The major didn't realize that his train of thought was wrong from the beginning. There might be more than one murderer.
Of course, expecting him to understand the high level crime of exchanging for a kill was too much.
The brilliance of this alternative crime model was that the person with the motive had a perfect alibi, and the person with the ability to kill had no intersection with the target, so there was no motive to kill.
"Become the sharpest sword and the hardest shield in each other's hands. This is the Freemasonry!" Tanner walked out of the interrogation room in a daze. This sentence was repeated in his mind, and the depths of his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
Dormitory 144.
Yarlin and Fick walked toward the interrogation room expressionlessly, and then left quickly as expected. Both of them were new Marine soldiers. They didn't even know Second Lieutenant Kona, so how could there be any suspicion?
The entire Marine dormitory building was in an uproar and panic because of this interrogation. The major didn't know that his investigation not only couldn't find any clues at all, but also completed a wave of advertising for the Freemasonry. Now, everyone knew that Second Lieutenant Kona had been killed.
Some of the Marine soldiers who walked out of the interrogation room had a meaningful smile on their faces. Then they slowly walked back to the dormitory, found a mask in a corner of the dormitory, and gently held it in the palm of their hand as if they were holding the door to a new world.
Two days later, the first round of investigation and interrogation came to an end. The major's face was faintly pale. Not only did they not find the murderer, but they also seemed to have cleared all the low-level Marine soldiers of suspicion.
He had no choice but to turn his eyes to the group of sergeants. While he was investigating the sergeants, in an abandoned warehouse of 153 Branch, a circle of masked Marine soldiers quietly gathered together. This time, what was different from usual was that the atmosphere here was particularly fanatical. It was like a terrible bag of gunpowder that could be ignited and exploded at any time, shattering and engulfing everything.
The eyes under the masks were shining with a burning color. They quietly suppressed the excitement in their hearts and stared intently at a figure who came out of the crowd.
Gloomy as ink, with a pale center like an eyeball. This was a strange mask that made people's hearts palpitate. He stood in the middle of the crowd and slowly said in a low and bewitching voice, "Those who have been redeemed have become part of the Freemasonry!"
Some people took off their masks and revealed fanatical faces. They recognized this mask and would never forget this voice.
"And those who haven't been saved in time, don't worry, this day will come soon!"
More and more Marine soldiers slowly took off the masks on their faces, revealing their true faces hidden in the darkness. Their hopeful eyes revealed extraordinary splendor, because although they were still in the abyss, the light had already shone in front of them.
"We will all eventually become the blade and shield of the Freemasonry. The Freemasonry is growing, and our strength is growing. Starting from this dark corner, we are all people who have struggled out of the abyss of despair. We are the last light born from the darkness …"
