Five hundred and fifty-fifth chapter middle man
Qiao Tianyu had no idea of avenging Hermann. But the dead have always been easy to make a fuss. The most used and most logical reasons are nothing more than two: avenge the dead, or take advantage of the opportunity to get rich by accepting gifts.
Qiao Tianyu is not short of money. As the fourth heir of the Qiao family, although he is not as rich as a country, he always has a few bank cards with amazing amounts in his pocket. Qiao Tianyu always thinks that Red Stone City is just a large black nest. It was not until this time that Herman committed suicide that he really attracted attention and took the initiative to come and take the initiative to take charge of the aftermath.
The number of entourage personnel is as high as 200, all of them are Qiao Tianyu's confidants. Among them, the strongest one is two guards with advanced level evolution powers.
Within the Imperial Military, there is a rating criterion for judging evolutionary power. Each level is divided into ten levels. In other words, from the military level to the king level, there are 40 different stages in total. For example, the dead ghost Devite, who was defeated by Su Hao, is a third-level evolutionary mercenary, but is only at the second level in the third level. The guards around Qiao Tianyu are as strong as the third-level seventh level.
There are few warriors who can become "generals", and not many humans or the dark world. Although there are a few within the Qiao family, they are not hidden powers that Qiao Tianyu can freely use.
As Qiao Tianyu entered Hongshi City, the originally loose Black Wolf Gang suddenly became a tight-moving machine.
By the afternoon of the next day, Qiao Tianyu had already obtained the detailed information he needed.
He sat on the sofa as usual, and stood a tall middle-aged man in front of him.
Looking at the folder opened in his hand, Qiao Tianyu slowly frowned: "In other words, this matter was entirely caused by Herman? He ordered the cleaning of those who refused to sell goods, which triggered a series of actions that followed?"
"From the current situation, it should be like this."
The middle-aged man's attitude was very respectful: "Five people escaped in the list of cleanings listed by Master Herman. The so-called cleaning is just that Master Herman wants to establish his authority or is interested in it for a moment. Unfortunately, the person involved, Krett, has died, and we cannot find more evidence and clues. All the members of the gang who were sent to perform the cleaning mission were killed at that time. Devit and Carol were just the beginning, and several others were killed one after another. Just yesterday afternoon, we received a report: a member of the gang died of food poisoning. Although there were no flaws on the surface, I have reason to believe that this was a killing, not an accident."
Qiao Tianyu slowly flipped through the documents in his hand and saw more than a dozen pages of records about the recent deaths of members of the Black Wolf Gang.
Some people fell from a high place and fell to death, some were jealous and stabbed to death with a knife, and some were inexplicably unable to wake up in their sleep... including the report just now by the middle-aged man, along with Dewit and Carol, there were as many as twenty-two people in total.
"interesting"
Qiao Tianyu looked through the documents with interest and asked without raising his head: "Can you determine who is the one who is here?"
"The most questionable goal is to avoid the five survivors who escaped the cleaning."
The middle-aged man lowered his voice: "We contacted the eyeliner arranged in Red Rock City and determined that three of them were not suspected. They were not caught by the purge troops at that time. Another member of the small group belonging to the city was not capable of operating such a large-scale revenge."
"Oh, according to the exclusion method, then there is still the last one left?"
“That’s true.”
The middle-aged man nodded, but his expression became a little hesitant: "But we still cannot be sure that he is the real murderer."
Qiao Tianyu raised his head and asked quite surprisedly: "Why?"
"He is a dark hunter who has only been awarded the hunter qualification in recent months."
The middle-aged man slowly replied: "He only has the second-level evolutionary strength and has no identity background. According to my judgment, if he wants to operate a revenge against Master Herman, he must have strong resources and military support. The dark hunter is just a small character, and he has nothing."
Qiao Tianyu was very dissatisfied with this answer: "Can you eliminate suspicion just by not having the ability and support? Is this your criterion for judgment?"
“I have enough basis.”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "He is Su Hao, and he has only accepted the task of low bounty. This also proves that he does not have too strong power, otherwise he will not be able to kill Devit and Carol at all. Even if he is attacking in secret, he can succeed at most once or twice, and it is impossible to succeed every time. After all, the Dark Hunter is not a professional killer.
Qiao Tianyu frowned and thought.
Obviously, the middle-aged man's answer was not satisfied with him. However, this is the answer that is most logical. The investigation of the murder case is not just about determining the target. Especially in family status, it does not need to be as cautious as the Imperial Police treats criminal suspects, but there must be sufficient factual basis.
Qiao Tianyu thought for a few minutes before he reopened the folder uncertainly and turned to the page about the list of people who were cleaned by the "Silver Arrow" bar.
He stared at the photo of Su Hao on the file for a long time and said seriously: "I have a sense that this guy is here. The bar is his place of residence, and the people inside are more or less related to him. It doesn't matter whether there is evidence. Killing and other behaviors are always driven by interests. Hermann is a useless waste. The price of the Qiao family purchasing dark brain fluid in Red Stone City is fair. There has never been a saying of forcing a forced purchase. If people are jealous, they will not wait until now, but have started to take action a few years ago. Even within the family, Hermann is an optional white-skinned bastard. I can't think of anyone who will pay for his head. Even those who have been cleaned up, only this guy named Su Hao is most likely to retaliate."
Although he did not agree with Qiao Tianyu's statement, the middle-aged man did not dare to argue, but just shook his head: "We did not find the trace of this person. He left Red Stone before the incident, and no one saw him come back. Perhaps, he had died outside. This kind of thing is very common, especially the chance of happening to the dark hunter is very high.
"Haha, that's just your personal thought."
Qiao Tianyu smiled and shook his head repeatedly, put down the documents, stood up from the sofa, and walked to the window. From here, Hongshi City was a brightly lit human settlement area. However, Qiao Tianyu's eyes became sharp, locking firmly at the other end of the city, and only the vague outline of the Dark Hunter Guild Building was visible.
"I have some relationship with President Gao Mo. I believe he will not refuse to help me."
Qiao Tianyu turned around, slowly stroked his round belly, and sighed: "Contact with the Dark Hunter Guild and said I want to meet this guy named Su Hao. If possible, this thing can be released as a mission."
When Su Hao walked into the Hunter Guild building, Gao Mo's personal secretary was already waiting in the hall. Without any politeness, he took him directly into the elevator and went straight to the top office.
Gao Mo sat behind the desk, looking a little tired. The secretary brought in two cups of coffee and Su Hao sat down on the sofa according to the order of the cups.
"I was forced to call back."
Gao Mo's opening remark surprised Su Hao slightly, and then it became normal: "In this life, people always have some unexplainable feelings. I am the same. I always have to pay back the favors I owe. There is no way, I can only take the airship from the imperial capital. The journey of thousands of kilometers is not a joke. It is very dull and boring. Apart from sitting there honestly and listening to the stewardess talking nonsense, the only pastime is to sleep."
Su Hao had previously received a communication from the guild, saying that Vice President Gao Mo had something important to see him. With the last resolution, Su Hao did not think that there was any dispute over interest between Gao Mo and himself, so he sat here.
He was a little surprised by Gao Mo's statement, and he didn't quite understand how technological development in the third stage of the world reached. Su Hao picked up the coffee and took a sip, vaguely, and replied tentatively: "If the plane was invented, the journey might be faster."
Gao Mo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Airplane? What is an airplane?"
"It's a kind of machine I fantasized."
Su Hao casually made a cover: "I also think the airship is too slow, so it is best to have a fast flying machine. It is like a magnetic levitation vehicle or motorcycle, which is very flexible and powerful."
"Young people just have a lot of ideas."
Gao Mo did not doubt these words and shook his head: "I had thought about being an inventor before. When I was very young, I always wanted to invent the invisible jacket so that I could walk into the supermarket with a swagger and take whatever I wanted, especially chocolate candies. I could eat as much as I wanted. No one cared about me, and no one would arrest me as a thief."
“A very interesting idea.”
Su Hao laughed and said, "But now, your dream has come true. At least, you don't have to worry about not having money in your pocket if you want to eat candy."
"Yes, there is indeed a gap between imagination and reality. It depends on how you understand and how to realize it."
Gao Mo smiled and sighed repeatedly, turned around, his eyes gathered on Su Hao, and became particularly deep: "You made me feel a little confused. You could kill so many people from the Black Wolf Gang and snatch the goods they transported. They retreated for decades. If it were my age and your position, I wouldn't have the courage to do these."
Su Hao's expression was stunned and silent for a few seconds. He picked up the cup again and took a sip of coffee. His expression became a little sad, and his voice became much deeper: "It was them who forced me."
Since Gao Mo said this, there must be sufficient evidence. Su Hao has a lot of experience in dealing with this situation. He knows very well that it is extremely unwise to lie at this time. Moreover, Gao Mo did not show hostility towards him.
Judging from the last contact, Gao Mo is a person who is very flawless and I will give you benefits if you give me benefits.
Su Hao didn't know how much Gao Mo had mastered this matter. But it was certain that Su Hao was just acting as a revenge in the whole incident. If it weren't for the Black Wolf Gang, he wouldn't have taken action in secret. The so-called back and forth is like this. What's more, this is Red Stone, there is no law, no morality or social binding force.
Gao Mo looked at Su Hao strictly for nearly half a minute, his face gradually became slower, and his speech also became slower: "I have read the investigation information after the incident. Those people in the "Silver Arrow" bar died miserably, and they were actually very innocent. I have never liked drugs, but there is no way. The scattered hormone can only be extracted through Lavonin. Even in a damn place like Redstone, if you want to buy goods worth fifty silver coins with thirty silver coins, you will be criticized, and you may even be cut off by a knife."
After pausing for a moment, Gao Mo continued: "If this happens in other places, such as the Imperial Domain, I suggest you better call the police. Although the Imperial Police are fucked, there are many idiots who are idiots in corpse positions, there are also a few guys who are really willing to do things with their salary. It is precisely because of these people that the wanted villains really have no choice but to stay in the Imperial Domain. They can only run outside. The gray area has never been recognized in the Imperial Domain, and the Imperial Army has never regarded it as a key position that must be strictly guarded. There are many places like Red Stone City, and even in the wilderness, there are intrigues and cruel blood everywhere."
Su Hao slowly raised his head and looked at Gao Mo with a calm and indifferent look. There was no trace of goodness and compassion that humans should have in his eyes. Even a high-level hunter like Gao Mo who was used to life and death and had killed countless dark creatures still felt chilling at Su Hao's gaze. For a few seconds, Gao Mo even suspected that Su Hao, who was sitting in front of him, was not a human at all, but a dark creature with wolf or leopard genes. Although his lips were tightly pursed, he showed a clear contour of the teeth, and the masseuses on both sides of his cheeks were also stretched, causing twitching in the face.
"Are you a lobbyist?"
The sound from Su Hao's mouth was extremely cold, as if he and Gao Mo were two strangers at all.
"Lobbyist?"
Gao Mo calmed down and laughed, constantly shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person you imagined. I hate those dogs and bastards who bully people with power, just like you. Even in the empire, "friends" is still an extremely precious term. That means you must give your whole heart and soul, and they will do anything for you. God has given us humans too many evil qualities: jealousy, indifference, arrogant, ruthless... However, behind all these dirty and despicable things, at least there is something that can be called "God's grace". Don't say it was you, if it were me, I would probably only do more than you do and kill more bastards."
The cold light in Su Hao's eyes eased a little, and Gao Mo also changed the focus of the conversation in time: "You are a very excellent little guy. The Dark Hunter Guild is no longer the way it was when it was originally created. We have to kill a large number of dark creatures every year. The Empire has given the hunters enough respect. Many people with bad intentions have seen the benefits. They try every means to get the title of a dark hunter. They fight for power and profit, use the crystals with unknown roads as trophies, and do not hesitate to cheat for the identity of a high-level hunter. There are also all kinds of messy things. There are too many things.
… You are very smart and not greedy. The last time you dealt with those two crystals is very telling. You are very brave. Now few young people who have just joined the society are willing to kill dark creatures with one shot and one shot in the wilderness. The most important thing is that in this matter of your friend, you have allowed me to see more of the quality that has been forgotten. I dare not say whether those dead people have truly believed in you, but they know you are definitely the wisest choice in their life. At least, you know that you want to avenge them. You must know that this is a red stone, a place full of intrigue and deception."
Su Hao was silent. He thought about Gao Mo's words and looked for the part that might be helpful to him. After nearly half a minute, Su Hao's eyebrows bent, he carefully considered the words and said, "Can you give me any advice?"
“There are only two choices.”
Gao Mo obviously expected Su Hao's problem: "First: Leave here. You are a young man with kindness. I don't know why you appeared in such a place, and I didn't intend to inquire about the various secrets on you. Red Stone City is out of place. Even if this matter is over, you will definitely get into all kinds of trouble in the future. The so-called feathers of birds of a feather flock together is this truth. Only villains and villains can get along well. Red Stone City is not where you stay, it's fine to live temporarily, but it's impossible to live for a long time. Of course, before leaving, you can finish everything you want and throw away every guy who is on the death list."
Su Hao thought silently for a few seconds and asked, "What is the second option?"
"Herman is dead. The leader of the Black Wolf Gang has also changed."
Gao Mo said seriously: "To be honest, I really don't want to interfere in this matter. But you have to understand that in this world, there are always some unbearable favors. I am only responsible for helping him pass on a message. He wants to meet you and have an interview with you. Of course, no matter what your decision is, I will stand on your side."
Su Hao said calmly: "Do you suggest me to talk to them?"
"I said, no matter what the final result and decision are, I will stand on your side."
Gao Mo reminded in an extremely earnest tone: "Sometimes, sitting down and having a good talk is always much better than being stubborn. There are many ways to achieve your goal. After all, you only have one person, and I cannot give you too much help in this matter. From a fair perspective, I suggest you better talk to them. The location is up to you, and you can also make various requests. Don't always think about things in the bad direction. Sometimes, when you look at it from a different perspective, you will find that there are actually more ways to continue that you have never thought of."
