Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.
Chapter 259 Murderer? Ji Ming is clearly the victim!
Chapter 259 Murderer? Ji Ming is clearly the victim!
"What? Andrew is actually a mole placed in the city under mysterious circumstances?"
"What? The mountain man Iron Hammer caught the mole that was mysteriously planted in the city?"
"What? The mountain mercenaries planted a mole in Weirdness?"
"What? Leader Fenn has transformed into a strange person..."
There is a saying: Three people become tigers when they are heard, people's words are scary when they talk on the road, pairs go up to the sky and go down to the earth, and bragging in the tavern is all about the mouth.
Even before noon, Sunshine City was already in a commotion, and the citizens were panicked amid various rumors.
Although mercenaries do not have a good reputation, the higher they climb, the more shameful they become. As the leader of all the mountain mercenaries in the Hessian Territory, Finn himself is on pins and needles.
When Johnson returned with the elite troops he selected to collect the corpses of his colleagues, he immediately greeted them in three steps and two steps.
"How is it? Is there anything unusual on the battlefield?"
The so-called body collection by the mercenaries is definitely not the traditional sense of wrapping the body, sewing it together, and burying it in a coffin.
In other words, even if they had the intention to mobilize all the weavers and carpenters in the city, they would not be able to complete the rough stitching of thousands of corpses, let alone prepare thousands of coffins for quick use.
Therefore, what they call corpse collection actually mainly refers to looking for dog tags that represent identity.
If conditions permit, randomly select one or a few nearby corpses as representatives, use special chemicals to burn them to ashes, and then put them away.
Such behavior can be regarded as an explanation to the family of the deceased and his own conscience, which may or may not exist and is in the Schrödinger state.
So Johnson's trip went quite smoothly. Although most of the dog tags were not found, if you think about it from a brighter perspective, it means that he found hundreds of dog tags. If you are a little more optimistic, then the mission was successfully completed and the champagne was opened directly. !
But as a "friend" who has communicated privately for a long time, the "abnormality" that Fein asked about certainly did not refer to this, but...
Johnson shook his head.
"No, Lord Alliance Leader, I did not find Andrew's identification, nor did I find a body suspected of being his,"
If Ji Ming's character is suspicious, then Fein's character is Ji Ming's.
In order to maintain stability and avoid war, he can forcefully create a weakness for himself as a shield, and also place spies and spies everywhere behind his back. He wishes he could find out what other senior executives said in their sleep that night, for fear that things will go beyond his expectations and Take control.
Therefore, after hearing this sentence, his heart immediately lifted after he had just let go.
——Is it possible that this little bastard escaped death by luck?
But while he was still frowning in thought, he saw Johnson's eyes flashing and he smiled proudly.
"But the strange thing is that when we were preparing to return to the city, we heard from passers-by that there was an inexplicable fire in a place in the dark forest west of Sunshine City, and what a coincidence, it happened to be last night!"
Ok? ? ?
Discovering that the new boss had shown a keen interest in this, Johnson immediately began an exaggerated performance of claiming credit.
"Who am I? I am your smart and loyal subordinate Johnson! So I immediately took people there to investigate and found that the fire scene looked suspicious. After all, how could such a big fire burn in a dry cave? ? There must be someone behind it!"
Um! ! !
This is simply another great achievement of another village!
The excited Finn was about to ask more questions, but Johnson changed his tone again.
"But we went in and searched everywhere but couldn't find any trace of Andrew. Oops, the fire was really huge. It was still warm when we went in. We really couldn't find anything in the extremely fine fly ash... …ah!"
"idiot!"
His heart was pounded by this thief like a rubber ball. Finn was so angry that he punched Johnson in the head.
I didn't think it was cool enough, so I added a combo with my backhand.
"big eater!"
"Johnson, I sent so many people with you to look for clues, but you came back with nothing?"
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and being a familiar and a fool is not so easy.
Johnson was willing to be a mole not only because he didn't want to live in the shadow of his cousin all his life, but also because he wanted to leave a way out for himself. When necessary, he could use his cousin's life as a pledge to pursue a higher possibility.
But now, the only possible source of this was the sinister man in front of him, so he could only nod and bow in apology after receiving two punches.
"Sir, you have never seen those pioneers. They are really more ferocious than jackals and more vicious than snakes and scorpions..."
Unfortunately, as a power-obsessed man who took over all the power within the mercenary group, Finn never believed his subordinates' explanations. He only believed in the outcome of the incident.
Especially in this high-end game of life and death, it is not only the vigilance that is relaxed, but also the safety rope hanging on the cliff!
Therefore, in order to prevent the new boss from finding any reason to kill him secretly, Johnson's mind was running rapidly, and he actually came up with an important clue.
"Sir, although we didn't find any mercenary equipment when we were cleaning the battlefield, we found this in a corner."
Being thrifty is indeed a good habit, but not many players will pay attention to where the remaining bottles are when they drink the blood potion.
So even though he has been called upon to recycle and protect the environment many times, what appeared in Johnson's hands was a pill bottle that was drunk and then discarded.
But what can a medicine bottle mean? This thing is too common on the battlefield.
Fein just motioned for Johnson to continue his quibbles and didn't show much interest.
But the first thing Johnson did was to unscrew the bottle cap and put it to his nose enthusiastically.
"Sir, take a whiff, you are definitely familiar with this smell!"
smell it?
If it's poisonous gas, do you still have to smell it?
Finn was really angry this time. What did Andrew do to him? Why were his subordinates so incompetent and so mentally retarded?
Does he know how dangerous the so-called potion is, and how stupid he is to put his wealth and life on an unfamiliar potion...
!!!
The sudden sweet breath rushed into Fenn's nasal cavity, allowing him to express his feelings at the moment in two simple and crude words.
"Fuck!"
Johnson was startled, his trembling hand suddenly loosened, and the medicine bottle tilted towards the ground uncontrollably.
Then his hand - technically the hand holding the bottle - was roughly pinched by Finn.
If he hadn't become a mercenary captain and had some strength, his hand bones would have been crushed alive by the opponent just by exerting force.
Blue veins popped out, and Finn gritted his teeth. His eyes seemed to be staring at the medicine bottle that killed his father and his enemy, and he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.
"What is this? How come it... smells so good?"
Johnson gasped in pain, but he could only say quickly.
"This is the smell of the most famous potion, Rejuvenation Liquid, chosen by Ji Mingshen, and it has a very strong smell... the newer model!"
"let me see!"
"?"
Seeing that Johnson was stunned and didn't respond, Finn cursed loudly with spittle.
<divclass="contentadv">"Idiot, I'll tell you to get it!"
Johnson: Then you should let go of your hands first!
Only then did Finn read the problem from the misty eyes of the other party, and grabbed the medicine bottle while letting go of his hand.
"There's definitely something wrong with this thing of yours...making the potion so tempting...it's definitely not a good thing...causing a habit of being idle and indolent...endangering the youth of the kingdom...Damn it, this stuff really smells good!"
Listening to the leader's whispers, Johnson wanted to yell, "If you don't like it, then don't go up and smell it!"
Although the rejuvenation liquid is indeed delicious and this is the new fourth generation, he has never seen one more addictive than Finn.
Ji Ming: No, I have seen people who like to drink to the point of actively betraying themselves, to people who like to drink to the point where they want to have sex with me every day. It is really terrifying.
After taking several deep breaths, Finn used his temporary satisfaction to fill up his resistance bar and screwed on the bottle cap with his rock-firm will.
After holding his slightly hot forehead and calming down for a while, he suddenly found that his body seemed to have never felt better.
Not to mention staying up late in the past few days, even the hidden injuries he suffered on the battlefield when he was young and even the ancient curse cast by the shaman have eased a lot.
So magical, this rejuvenating liquid is really...
"But the potion is still bad!"
"what?"
Finding that he accidentally said what was on his mind in his excitement, Finn coughed slightly in embarrassment.
"Johnson, believe me, your own healing power is the most powerful medicine. Medicines are all from outside the body and absolutely cannot be trusted."
Quietly hiding the medicine bottle behind his back, Finn waved his hand.
"Okay, since everything is fine, you can leave. I still have some... matters that have nothing to do with you to deal with."
"Huh? Oh, okay..."
Responding blankly, Johnson gradually turned around, but suddenly remembered and turned back quickly.
"Wait a moment!"
Finn couldn't help but take out the bottle and prepare to continue to comprehend:! ?
Johnson pointed his index finger at the sky and stared, as if he had suddenly realized something:? !
……
At this moment, in this situation, you either have to bite the bullet or lose your temper. There is no need to hesitate about this kind of thing!
——Leader, don’t be afraid, I am blind!
Pretending to not see it at all, Johnson said quickly.
"Sir, I found this medicine bottle on the battlefield. The fourth-generation rejuvenation liquid is very rare, and the entire bottle is not allowed to be sold. I think Ji Ming Divine Selection is very likely to be related to this matter!"
But Finn just narrowed his eyes in confusion.
"Then what if someone bought the Fourth Generation of Rejuvenation secretly? Do you think there are really people in this world who are so stupid that they don't make any money?"
"This……"
The rejuvenation liquid brought extremely clear thoughts. After Finn thought about it carefully, he discovered another doubt.
"And you said that the fourth generation of rejuvenation is very rare. If it was really Ji Ming... he did it secretly, how could he leave such an important medicine bottle on the ground and leave such obvious traces?"
Johnson was not very smart to begin with, but Finn succeeded in choking him with just a few words, and he could only stand there and falter.
"What you said makes sense, but I didn't think carefully..."
But Finn actually didn't say a word.
——Is it possible, I mean a possibility, that someone is imitating my deception?
Deliberately leaving wrong clues and directions at the scene, pretending to be Ji Ming, trying to frame him!
Thinking of this, Fein was simply amazed at his reasoning ability. He could break the misleading traps left by others with just a little thought.
If I really doubted Ji Ming's choice according to the other party's thinking, wouldn't I have wronged this good man who clearly had nothing to do with him and might even cause all kinds of rumors, but he was still willing to run around and clean up his friends' affairs?
--murderer? This is clearly a victim.
The more you want to be a bad guy, the more you need the existence of good guys. Finn still understands this truth, so he directly issued an eviction order.
"Let's go, I will investigate this matter, you don't have to work anymore."
"Uh……"
Johnson always felt that something was wrong, but he really couldn't figure it out.
Faced with Finn's increasingly impatient attitude, he could only bow his head and announce his resignation.
While Fein was studying the Fourth Generation of Rejuvenation and sending people to vigorously protect the reputation of mercenaries, Ji Ming was watching the porters move his supplies into the church warehouse.
Since he can forge... and get his good friend Andrew to write a power of attorney in his own hand, then writing down various additional clauses is not a problem.
Therefore, the last item in the power of attorney is that when all the properties of the Mountain People's Iron Hammer Mercenary Group are sealed, all of them will be transferred to Ji Mingshenxuan.
Not to mention those who were present at this agreement, some people still find it incredible that Andrew could hand over everything to an outsider who has nothing to do with him.
But Finn knew it was possible, very likely.
——The cunning guy actually wants to prevent me from annexing his power in this way!
Could it be that he had long seen that I was pretending to be stupid and thinking that even if I lost, I would still use some tricks on myself? He was really thinking deeply.
After hesitating for a while, he could only give up the idea of forcible annexation, disbanded the Mountain Hammers according to the agreement, and then handed over all the properties of the mercenary group to Ji Ming.
"Since this is Mr. Andrew's last wish, then as his compatriot, comrade-in-arms, and superior, all I can do is support."
Ji Ming: "Wow, Andrew, you died so miserably. What use do I need these resources for? Can a dead person be resurrected?"
In my heart: Hey hey, I didn’t expect Mr. An to be so kind that he would give me a large additional investment after his death. It’s worth it that I let you live for more than half a month.
As for why these supplies went through open channels, instead of using words to paralyze the vigilance of the mercenary alliance and then transform into thieves in the middle of the night to take advantage of it...
Eggs cannot be put in one basket, and Ji Ming cannot have only one warehouse like the Great Holy See.
Now that we have an opportunity to make a fortune, we might as well use this banner to leave some supplies in Sunshine City, just in case they come in handy at some point.
Of course, good things must not be kept at home, as this is a recipe for trouble.
So he placed it in the Holy Light Church in the name of donating to the church like last time, and this time he really made a donation.
"Let's quickly distribute the food that cannot be stored to the city residents in need. This can help Andrew accumulate some moral virtue."
At this moment, Andrew was tap dancing in the flames of purgatory.
"Andrew, I just received a flying message from Judge Cui. He said that someone helped you top up some Yin De, and your burning temperature can be lowered by one... Oh, no, no, he said that this is for you to increase one degree. Hey, you are My friends are so considerate, so just stay here with peace of mind, the temperature has been raised."
"what?"
So the regiment leader Andrew led a large number of members to be wiped out outside the city. All the assets of the mercenary regiment remaining in the city were transferred to Ji Ming. The survivor Johnson and the remaining mercenaries were absorbed by the mountain people Guangfeng.
The mountain man Iron Hammer, who had been so prosperous before, disappeared completely overnight, along with several well-known and more unknown mercenary groups. in people's sight.
