Chapter 55 Assassin

"Wait, what did you say? Is it a Monta?" Winters was surprised and his breathing became rapid.

"Yes." Benwei answered for granted.

"The Monta people working on the dock?" Winters asked repeatedly: "You mean the person who blows up the dock is a member of the Monta people's gang?"

"Yes." Benwei spread his hands: "It's Dascar's newly hired helper, and he has just been mingling with the group of Montas recently."

Winters took a deep breath and his tone became extremely serious: "Benwei, if you ask me to help you solve the Montals, you will definitely help you as long as you speak. But, never talk nonsense because you have a festival with the Montals. This assassination is not simple. The identity of the deceased has been a mystery until now, and it may involve something amazing... I want you to answer me honestly, are you sure you read it right?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure I'm not wrong." Benway answered seriously in response to Winters' gaze: "And we're not even between us and the Montas, you're thinking too seriously."

"Tell me everything you know about those people."

“Where to start?”

“Start from scratch.”

Benwei drank some water to moisten his throat, and started talking about it six years ago.

In the last year of Army Young School, the Benwei family lost two labor forces due to an unfortunate accident - Benwei's father and uncle. So after graduating from Army Young School six years ago, in order to support the family, Benwei went to the dock to work like his father.

At that time, the dock had not yet formed order. As a large number of landless farmers poured into the city, the competition on the dock became fierce.

Do you want three silver coins to unload one ship of cargo?

We will do it just two of us.

Dockworkers fought each other and squeezed prices, and violent conflicts arose.

Soon, as the conflict intensified and the organizational form improved, small gangs began to appear among the dock workers. The power of a person was insignificant in the face of the power of a group. If the dock workers did not join a group, they would be intimidated, beaten, and expelled.

The small gang will be bullied by the big gang, either joining the other party or joining other small gangs to become a bigger group. In the end, all the dock workers become members of a big gang.

For these people from all over the world, origins are the most common identity, and joining together by origins is the inevitable result. In the end, the Montas, Vans and Palatou people, the outsiders drove the Venetta locals out of the dock and controlled all the handling work.

These three groups controlled the number of dock workers and did not allow outsiders to work at the docks at will, avoiding excessive competition. To some extent, it is similar to commercial and handicraft guilds artificially stipulate industry entry thresholds.

But they did not form a strict organization, and they essentially joined the group to avoid being bullied. Even the leaders in the gang are usually ordinary porters, but once there is a conflict, everyone will take the team according to their origins.

It was originally peaceful, but gradually some people were not satisfied with it. About half a month ago, Benway discovered that there were some new faces among the Monta people. It was nothing originally, the dock workers were very mobile, there were always people leaving, and there were always new people to make up for it.

But then the Montas provoked a conflict with the other two groups. The three parties were originally comparable in strength, but after all, they were just porters, and no one dared to fight too hard. However, the new faces among the Montas were extremely vicious. They beat Benwei's uncle seriously and died not long after they carried him home.

After drinking, Dascar, the leader of the Montas, proudly boasted to others that these people were all thugs he specially found, and this time he wanted to completely defeat the Vannes and the Palatus.

On the day of the assassination of the dock, Benwei saw the new Monta throwing explosives at the pier. There were several other porters around the Monta, but they were all silenced on the spot. Only Benwei hid in the cabin and escaped.

Winters thought to himself: "The porters who were silenced were probably the bodies taken away by their families mentioned by the customs." The information confirmed each other and increased credibility.

Afterwards, there was an earth-shaking explosion. Benway rescued Winters and Moritz who could not swim from the sea. Winters and the same period were invited to the customs prison for "rest". What happened outside had nothing to do with them.

But for Benwei, bad things happened one by one. The customs side was in chaos because of the explosion, Benwei couldn't find anyone who was willing to listen to a small porter.

In desperation, he had to go home first and wait the next day before he went to find the customs guard. As a result, before dinner was eaten, a few relatives and friends from afar knocked on his door and told him in a angrily manner: Big Scar is dead, and the Montals are gathering people to seek revenge on him.

Benwei's family left the house overnight. The woman and the old man were sent to another place. Benwei, his uncle and brother hid in the suburbs until today.

"Which thugs were invited by those Montas? They were just assassins, they just pretended to be thugs and got into the Montas' gang." Winters frowned a few ditches: "I guess they have run away without a trace now."

Benwei sighed lightly: "I also think that those few innocent faces are not ordinary people, but are all guys who take other people's lives in vain."

"I'm a little strange. I've obviously been in the dock, so why do I make such a big noise? And that carriage, can I still want to trick people away and catch them alive?" Winters rubbed the stubble on his jaw and sneered, "I'm becoming more and more curious about the identity of the deceased. Who deserves such a big effort? I guess the leader of the Montas was also silenced by them."

"No matter what, those people must have run away without a trace."

"Whenever you walk by, you will leave a trace. Follow the footprints and you will find it. Do you know where the core members of the Monta are now? The people on the dock say nothing to us."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Benwei shook his head: "I don't know, just like they don't know where I am, they are all hiding. If I find it, I'll let someone tell you."

"Okay, but don't let this friend deliver your letters for you anymore." Winters said with a wry smile: "He is really a bad messenger. Also, change your house quickly, this house is too unsafe."

Benwei nodded in agreement with a smile.

After talking about the time we experienced together and the time we had not experienced together, the two said goodbye.

"If you change the place, how can I find you in the future?" Winters asked.

"Go to the dock to find George Gap, tell him to see me, and I'll contact you again."

Winters nodded, and did not talk much nonsense, and got back to the city.

Pushing open the gate of the military police, Winters found that Lieutenant Colonel Field and Major Moritz were waiting for him.

"Where are you going?" Field asked with some dissatisfaction.

"I went to meet a dock worker and asked for some important news." Winters, who was absent from the meeting, replied without blushing and his heart was beating: "The dock should not be a solid piece anymore, and the Vanes will support us."

"Oh? What news?"

Winters recounted what he heard from Benwina about the relationship between the Assassin and the Monta gang.

"Your classmate Lu You want to use our hands to get rid of the Montas?" Field looked suspicious.

"There is this possibility." Although Winters trusted Benway, he did not say anything to death.

"Let this beside it." Field waved his hand: "Have you ever been given an important task to you...has you ever stole something?"

It turned out that Lieutenant Colonel Field and Major Moritz looked at the list provided by the Duel Club for several days before they found out that the Duel Club provided a list of authenticity and falsehood.

On the one hand, this is a very detailed list, full of seven pages. But many of them have only signed names on the guest sheet and were included in this list. There are also many people who are not officers who have also appeared on this list - the Duel Club seems to have developed many non-official members.

But what the Gendarmerie Department is looking for is people who are both familiar with Ned's long sword technique and fast sword. Perhaps there are many civilians who are good at fast sword technique, but not many people are familiar with long sword technique, because long swords have long been no longer popular, and Venetta has no sword technique school to teach long swords at all. Only officers who have returned from the Army Officer School have systematically learned this sword technique.

The real core members of the Duel Club did not appear too many on the list. There were only a few school-level officers on the entire list, which was impossible.

Although Major Moritz is also an official member of the Duel Club, he has always been a casual personality and rarely wakes up after 8 o'clock in the evening. Therefore, he occasionally goes to the club and eats and drinks, and never participates in the management of the Duel Club.

Moritz went to ask for the list, but the other party sincerely refused to give it to him, and the major had no choice.

No, the major actually has a way, his way is to steal.

"No, no, no, no." Winters shook his head vigorously and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay if you ask me to rob, but you really can't steal me."

"Stealing is very simple, mainly because of good psychological quality. Just like a horse thief, as long as you are calmly like the owner of a horse, no one will be suspicious. I think your psychological quality is very strong and has great potential." Field was crazy about killing Warrant Officer Montagne.

"Senior, I really can't do it. I'm an officer after all. If I steal something, I'm caught..."

Field rebuked: "Before things are done, you think about failure first. Can this mentality succeed? As long as you think about success, you will not fail."

He added: "Besides, our master is famous and investigates the case with dignity. How can our military police department be considered stealing? This is called using flexible means to obtain evidence."

"If you are upright, we will take the gun and kick the door! If you go rob me, I will definitely go!" Winters was anxious.
