Byron's Blade

The majestic Alps snow-capped mountains stand in the north, overlooking the green and vast forests at the foot, and a long series of convoys are moving fast on the mountain roads.This is the vast mountainous area in southeastern Austria. Along the snow-capped mountains all the way to the west and then south, you can enter Switzerland.Once you are in Switzerland, you are one step closer to your goal.

Starting from the Labu River, the marching speed of the large army accelerated again, this was Mu Xin's instruction, as if being chased by something, even the rest time was greatly shortened.Mu Xin was no longer willing to waste time on the road, the longer the time dragged on, the greater the variables.Therefore, starting from leaving the bank of the Rab River on January 1, in the next three days, the large army traveled more than 13 kilometers in a hurry, and arrived at St. Jacobs at 600:1 pm on January 16.On the second day, the main force decided to enter Italy, directly across the northern border of Italy and into Switzerland.This route was different from what was planned before, it was changed by Mu Xin on a whim within the past three days.

And in the past three days, the investigation team composed of Mu Li, Qiu Zheng, Lan Ni, Lin Zhao, Qiong and Alita has conducted five consecutive encrypted case discussions. There is still nothing about the sudden death of Major Feng Xin. Too much progress.The only thing that was certain was that Major Feng Xin was indeed killed by homicide, and there was indeed still a mole lurking inside the team.

According to Alita's autopsy report, Major Feng Xin's precise time of death should be between 1:12 p.m. and 11:11 p.m. on January [-], and he did die of myocardial infarction.Judging from Major Feng Xin's past medical records, she has never had a similar medical history, so this sudden myocardial infarction is indeed quite strange.

In addition, coffee was detected in Major Feng Xin's stomach contents.Alita said that the contents of Major Feng Xin's stomach were very small, only the dinner that he ate that evening still had a little residue, which had basically been digested.But there is still a lot of coffee in her stomach, so it can be determined that she drank the coffee before she died.In the next few days, Alita conducted detailed tests on the coffee, and finally found a very suspicious synthetic chemical component in the coffee, which proved to be able to induce myocardial infarction.

Alita said that this synthetic chemical agent is very difficult to identify because it is too similar to caffeine. If she did not firmly believe that Major Feng Xin would not have died suddenly, it would be difficult to detect it.This discovery also confirmed that Major Feng Xin had indeed died of homicide.It is worth mentioning that Major Feng Xin is a coffee addict herself, and she especially likes to drink coffee when she works at night. There is indeed coffee in her own coffee cup, but she has already drank it all.Probably the murderer also took a fancy to this, so he gave her coffee.However, the same chemical agent as the contents of her stomach was not detected in Major Feng Xin's coffee cup, so it is judged that the coffee used as the murder weapon should be delivered by the murderer in other cups, and was taken away by the murderer after committing the crime up.

Mu Li's discovery undoubtedly added a layer of suspicion to Major Feng Xin as a traitor.The eavesdropping bugs, audio recordings, radio transcoding systems, maps and other items found from her leftover items all pointed the finger of the traitor at her.As a result, the case began to become complicated and confusing, and the following possibilities emerged.

One is that Major Feng Xin is indeed a traitor, and there are her accomplices in the team.Major Feng Xin probably wanted to rebel, but was removed by his accomplices.Or maybe the accomplice wanted to betray, and Major Feng Xin wanted to stop him, but he was the first to fight back.

The second is that Major Feng Xin was not a traitor. Her death was caused by a traitor in the team. The purpose was to put blame on her, or to convey a warning to Mu Xin and other Assassin high-level officials.

No matter what the situation is, it is a certain fact that there are still traitors in the team.

What puzzled everyone the most was the code in the hidden file left on Major Feng Xin's computer desktop.Translated text: [Hai's daughter died of pulmonary heart disease].This inexplicable sentence made everyone's brains very troubled, and no one knew what it meant.But the time when this file was generated is very interesting. 11:13 is the time around the night of Major Feng Xin's death.

This folder was either left by the murderer or Major Feng Xin.Most people prefer the latter, because not everyone knows the C^BM code. Only senior technical officers in the army are qualified to learn and master this newly developed code, which belongs to the classified military technology.

Assuming that Major Feng Xin was indeed innocently killed, then this code becomes the death message she left before she died, and the code must point to the identity of the murderer.Therefore, the inexplicable sentence [Hai's daughter died of pulmonary heart disease] turned out to be the key to uncovering the truth of the case.

On the evening of January 1, the large troops arrived at St. Jacobs and stationed. After dinner, the case investigation team held an encrypted meeting again. The members put on their helmets in their respective tents and discussed.

"So, don't we really have to do fingerprints, or arraign statements?" This was the third time Joan had asked about it.

Mu Xin explained again:

"Fingerprint checks are meaningless. As a traitor, who doesn't know how to wear gloves to do things, and besides, Major Feng Xin's computer is not a rare item. There are people coming and going in her tent, just a few of her subordinates As a technical officer, everyone has touched her computer and left fingerprints, which is really of no reference value.

And subpoenaing confessions will only cause panic.Investigating cases is important, but what is more important is to stabilize the morale of the army.We are in this wilderness, thousands of kilometers away from the Federation. Once the army is in a state of confusion, it is tantamount to sending ourselves under the scythe of death.I don't want to use this trick unless I have to. "

Qiu Zheng continued: "Yeah, not to mention that there are more than 170 people in the team, and the alibi of so many people is too difficult to find out. Many people were actually alone that night. It is difficult to say who is suspected and who is not. "

"But I think doing this at least gives us a range to point to..." Joan muttered.

Lan Ni interrupted her and said, "Compared to doing this kind of useless work, I think solving this riddle is the quickest and most effective way."

"I agree." Alita immediately echoed.

"But, who of us can solve it? It's been three days, and even you, Miss, don't know what it means. Isn't there no progress?" Joan smiled wryly.

Everyone fell silent for a while, as if they were all thinking about what this riddle meant.Lanny pondered for a moment, then said:

"I think we should sort out our thinking from the beginning. Didn't we analyze it before? I think this may be a word game, but it will never be too complicated, because it is very likely that it was something that the major came up with when he was dying. Her brain will not be too clear, and the riddles she thinks of will never be too deep. At the same time, in order to avoid being discovered by the murderer, she specially hides what she wants to say. The information pointing to the murderer must be in this passage."

Alita took the conversation and said:

"I thought about it recently. It may be because I am a medical student, so I am particularly concerned about the word cor pulmonale. The full name of cor pulmonale is cor pulmonale. This disease is not a common disease. People who do not pay attention to medicine generally I don't know, unless I have had this kind of disease. But Feng Xin is a very healthy person, and she has no medical history. I wonder why Feng Xin, who doesn't study medicine, suddenly thinks of such a word when he is dying. Isn't it illogical?"

Probably the topic was about medicine, and Lin Zhao, a man of few words, spoke:

"I've been wondering about this too. These days, I asked someone to check Fengxin's family background. Her father is a professor of information engineering and teaches in a little-known military academy. Her mother is from an ordinary family. Housewife, but died when Feng Xin was 11 years old. According to the information, her mother died of a heart attack. I suspect that Feng Xin may have read a lot of books about heart disease when her mother was ill, so she knew about pulmonary heart disease It's not surprising. She herself died of myocardial infarction, clutching her heart when she was dying, thinking of her mother who died of a heart attack, it's human nature."

"Oh, so you actually found out about this kind of thing, so you didn't say it earlier." Alita smiled, "The remaining intelligence channels of the Night Party can't be underestimated."

Lin Zhao didn't answer the question.

Mu Li said:

"Even so, the word cor pulmonale is still very strange. Both her mother and herself died of heart disease. Heart disease is heart disease. What does it have to do with lungs?"

"That's right, it's really strange." Chou Zheng echoed.

After a while of silence, Lanny spoke again:

"Then let's put pulmonary heart disease aside and look at it from the beginning. Speaking of the Daughter of the Sea, the most famous fairy tale is of course Andersen's fairy tale. But the ending of the Little Mermaid, the protagonist of Daughter of the Sea, turned into bubbles and disappeared. Really In other words, Hai’s daughter should have died of love, but it’s really inexplicable that she died of pulmonary heart disease.”

"Well, is it implying something, for example, Feng Xin compares herself to the little mermaid, and the murderer may be her 'prince', lover or something like that." Qiu Zheng said.

"...What's the matter with the prince, the little mermaid was killed by a witch." Mu Li complained.

"In the final analysis, the little mermaid was killed by herself, and the prince was the indirect murderer. I'm not wrong." Chou Zheng insisted on his own opinion.

"Oh, okay! The more you two talk, the more you go off the rails." Lanny interrupted their meaningless conversation with black lines all over her head, and Alita slapped her legs and laughed loudly.Mu Xin, who had been quietly listening to everyone's discussion, also curled the corners of her mouth, showing a rare smile, but unfortunately no one could see it.

"Ahem..." Lanny cleared her throat, "Come back to business, as I said just now, this is probably the death message left by Feng Xin before his death. Therefore, it is very directional, and it is also her first time. things that come to mind, not in such ambiguous ways as hints."

The meeting was discussed to the end, but there was still no result. After the meeting was over, everyone went to rest and refreshed themselves for the journey tomorrow.Before going to bed at night, Lan Ni was still struggling to decipher this sentence. She took a pen and paper, wrote and drew, and the paper was filled with her thinking process and various complicated formulas that Mu Li could not understand. .In the end, the more she thought, the deeper she went, which violated the principle of simple thinking, so she was overthrown by herself and started all over again.

After Mu Li's meditation was over, watching her light the lamp for a brain battle, she couldn't help but feel distressed:

"Don't think about it, go to bed early, no matter how much you think about it, you won't get the answer. You haven't slept much in the past two days, and your dark circles have come out."

Lanny shook her head, while lowering her head to write and draw, she said, "It's not that you don't know me, but you just can't be baffled by any puzzles, otherwise I won't be able to sleep, and I will think about it all night until I figure it out. "

"Then I'll accompany you." Mu Li said directly without any further persuasion.

There was a sweet smile on the corner of Lanny's mouth, and she asked:

"How's your Occlumency going?"

"It seems to be a success. I haven't heard Latiya's voice at all recently. Of course, it can't be ruled out that she didn't come to me at all." Mu Li said.

"Speaking of which, Latiya seems to be very quiet recently. I heard that my cousin and Ms. He took turns to accompany her and watch her. She has been staying in her exclusive tent and car, honestly." Lanny road.

Mu Li shrugged and said, "I don't know, I didn't pay attention."

Lanny smiled and gave her a blank look: "Yes, yes, you don't pay attention to her at all."

Mu Li looked serious: "It must, I only have eyes for you."

"Damn! How can you be so glib?" Lanny looked disgusted, but in fact she was very helpful.

After a while, Lan Ni said: "To be honest, I was wondering if the message Feng Xin gave has something to do with Latiya?"

"How to say?" Mu Li asked.

"The cause of Feng Xin's death is very likely because he translated the conversation between the leader and Latiya that day, and something terrible happened in the conversation, which was overheard by the hidden traitor. Now that Feng Xin is dead, the meaning of the conversation The content, only Latia and the leader know. Asking the leader won’t work, and she won’t talk about it. I just want to ask Latia if I can know something.” Lanny explained.

Mu Li pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "I don't know what the leader is thinking, maybe she knows who is the traitor in her heart, and she might have clues to the murderer this time. It's heartbreaking. Does she still want to find out the traitor and clear Feng Xin's name?"

"Even if she is clear, she has no evidence. We still need to investigate, don't we? Don't be too harsh on her, she has her own ideas." Lan Ni persuaded.

Mu Li didn't say anything more, after thinking about it, she said:

"Then let me try talking to Latia directly, and try to avoid going to her directly."

Lan Ni nodded in agreement, and Mu Li closed his eyes, trying to visualize the image of the waves rippling away.Gradually, she could feel her spiritual power permeating out, and the items in the tent appeared in her mind in an unbelievable state, and then slowly, she could also "see" the camp outside the tent. "It's clear.This is the first time she has used her mental power in this way, and she did not expect to succeed once, which is incredible.

[Latia?are u there? 】Mu Li tried to call out.

Unexpectedly, the reply came soon:

【You finally came to me. ] Latia's voice of thought is still the same.

【You know about Feng Xin, I want to ask you, what did you talk to the leader about that day? 】Mu Li went straight to the point, and didn't want to talk too much nonsense with her.

[Forgive me for not being able to tell you. ] Latiya's answer was also quite straightforward.

[In that case, don't bother me. 】Mu Li was so blunt to the extreme, Latiya didn't want to answer, so she stopped asking.

【etc! ] Sure enough, Latia didn't expect Mu Li to play cards so unreasonably, she was a little flustered, 【You really don't want to know? 】

【If you don't want to tell me, I will naturally stop pestering you. 】

[Feng Xin's death, I feel very sorry.I may be responsible for this.I also want to help a little and see if I can do something for her. 】

Mu Li is almost used to Latia's sudden change of attitude, she calmly said:

[The specific content of the case, I am inconvenient to disclose too much.Since you have such a good intention, let me ask you a question. What do you think of the statement that Hai’s daughter died of pulmonary heart disease? 】

Latiya seemed to be overwhelmed by the question, and after a while, her laughter came:

[Daughter of the sea, are you referring to me? 】

【ha? 】Mu Li is baffled.

[I have lived on the bottom of the sea for tens of thousands of years, so it is not an exaggeration to be called the daughter of the sea.But having said that, your question is really inexplicable. If you want to ask me what I think, I am also at a loss.To be honest, after hearing you say this, the first thought that popped up in my mind was Thurian.In the Atlantean language I am most familiar with, the daughter of the sea is pronounced as Shurian. 】

As if a flash of lightning flashed in Mu Li's mind, she instantly understood all doubts, before saying hello to Latia, she immediately withdrew her mental power, opened her eyes, and said loudly to Lan Ni:

"Lanny! I know what's going on!"

Lan Ni was taken aback by her, her blue eyes widened instantly, and she looked at her in surprise.

The author has something to say: maybe the next chapter, or the next chapter will be the end of the third volume.So far in this chapter, all the clues have been given, so do you know who the murderer is?

It doesn't seem very kind to be stuck here, but this chapter has a lot of words, and the next chapter will be updated on Wednesday.
