Chapter two hundred and twenty eight suspects
"I also want to know the reason. I have sent people to investigate. The answer will be available after a while." Faced with Leo's inquiry, Lawrence Hillman, who had just returned from outside, also had a gloomy look on his face. It was obvious to Leo that
The question raised was one that now annoyed him.
Although he waited in the tent for a long time and did not get the answer he wanted, Leo did not express his anger. He just did not speak and sat silently in the tent, closing his eyes to rest. An invisible pressure was felt in the tent.
form.
Lawrence Hillman looked at Leo, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but due to some concerns, he did not say anything in the end.
In Miria City, the blood wizard also has a lot of eyes and ears. Coupled with his concern for the medical school, he also invested a lot of eyes and ears in the refugee area where the medical team is located. If there is any trouble, someone will be there in the shortest possible time.
Repay him inwardly.
In addition, Leo did not deliberately hide his whereabouts. From the moment he entered the city, he had already reported it to Lawrence, so he naturally knew that before the sudden change in the medical team, Leo happened to break into a medical room.
He was in the team's clinic and stayed there for a long time.
It wouldn't matter if it was just an ordinary clinic. Judging from the latest feedback, that clinic should be an important experimental site, and the person in charge of this clinic happened to be acquainted with the blood wizard and knew very well about Jeff Thomson.
With his status in the medical school and recent research projects, he estimated that there must be a lot of important things in that clinic related to the secret incident being carried out by the medical team.
When he just came back, the latest news he got was that except for the corpses left behind in the experiment, there were no other more useful things in the clinic, let alone important items such as research materials, so he suspected that all those things had been lost by now.
In Leo's hands.
Although the blood wizard doesn't know exactly what the medical school is researching, one thing is certain, that is, the things he is researching are definitely related to the things he was exposed to back then, and may have already yielded results, because according to the reported news, those discoveries
Some of the corpses had the same physical mutations as the family members.
It's a pity that this research information is now in Leo's hands. Based on his understanding of it, it would be very difficult to easily obtain this information from the other party, and what he has on hand to use as a bargaining chip is too much.
Less, and as for using his blood magic to exchange for information, he felt that it was not cost-effective, so he was very conflicted in his heart now.
In this way, the two of them sat silently in the tent, quietly waiting for Lawrence Hillman's men to send the information.
About half an hour later, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and then a fairly well-dressed scavenger was seen walking in.
"Boss, I already have the information you want..." When the scavenger was about to report the news he had heard to the blood wizard, when he saw Leo, an outsider here, he immediately closed his mouth that he had just opened, and
He gestured towards the blood witchcraft.
"Say it! It doesn't matter." The blood wizard motioned for the other party to continue.
The scavenger continued: "The information I heard showed that the reason why most of the assisting doctors in the medical team suddenly left was because the Freedom Front was investigating them and alerted those people. After that, the medical school suddenly stood up and took the initiative to investigate.
The reasons for these doctors leaving, and announcements claiming that these doctors have joined certain underground cult organizations, use their convenience in the clinic to capture refugees and carry out certain cult activities."
Lawrence Hillman said with disdain: "I have still used this method for so many years. First I transfer people, then I take the initiative to expose my own scandal, cooperate with the investigation, and then self-examination. I used it in my case back then.
I didn’t expect this method to be still used today.”
"No matter how old-fashioned the method is, as long as it works." The scavenger immediately responded: "Judging from the current situation there, it is obvious that those refugees are very fond of this trick."
"What?" The blood wizard was stunned and said: "There was news before that the refugees became very angry after seeing the corpses in the basement and started smashing other clinics, and many corpses were also found in other clinics.
Has it become too much for the medical school to handle?"
"It was like this at the beginning." The scavenger explained: "But most of the corpses found were bones with mutated bodies, so there was news among the refugees that they were used by those cult doctors for experiments.
They are not human beings at all. Since they are not human beings, and they have vented their anger by smashing them, and the medical school has actively cooperated with them, those refugees will not go directly to the medical school no matter how angry they are."
"Damn, these guys are so lucky." Lawrence couldn't help but cursed, indicating that the subordinates could leave, and then smiled gloatingly: "However, their good days should not be long.
This matter may be used by various countries as a reasonable excuse to accept and supervise the affiliated institutions of medical schools in various countries. By then..."
"This is not a loss, or the loss of the medical school this time is not big." Leo interrupted Lawrence's analysis and said: "In fact, if this happened, governments around the world would take back the medical institutions affiliated to the medical school.
, the only difference is just the number of excuses. In addition, the real losses of the medical school are not much. They just lost some research data, and these research data can be regained in future research experiments. The person responsible for the research is
This time, no one was lost, and none of the research items were lost. We don’t know what they were researching, and even the whereabouts of the Ring of Plague are also unknown.”
After hearing Leo's words, the smile on Lawrence's face quickly faded and returned to a gloomy state.
Leo, who looked serious, pondered for a moment, and then asked the blood wizard: "There are more than a hundred doctors involved in the research. Now the city of Milia is surrounded by the imperial army, and we will not let so many people leave easily.
The smuggling routes on the black market are being watched by Ljungberg Weai's Freedom Front, so if they want to let such a large group of people leave at the same time in a short time, they can only start with the railways controlled by the imperial army. Can you start from
Let’s investigate this aspect?”
"Of course it's no problem," Lawrence nodded and agreed, but he suddenly changed the topic and said: "But I don't think there will be any results. Those people should have left Miria City and even removed the Ring of Plague.
It was taken away."
"Why?" Leo asked puzzled.
Lawrence walked to the table, rummaged through several documents on the table, pulled out one and handed it to Leo, explaining: "Because if I remember correctly, just a few hours ago, the smuggling fleet in the black market suddenly
Three more cargo ships were added. My man found that those three cargo ships were carrying people. He thought it was just a normal human trafficking. But now, looking at the time when the three fleets set off, the doctors from the medical team evacuated.
The time of departure and the time when the medical school suddenly stood up and admitted that something had happened were all coincidentally gathered together, so I think the people transported by the three ships should be the doctors who participated in this study."
Leo lowered his head and looked at the contents of the document, estimated the time in his mind, and found that Lawrence's suspicion was somewhat reasonable, because the timing of the three was such a coincidence, and past experience told him that such coincidences may not always be possible
It's a real coincidence.
After putting down the document in his hand, Leo thought for a while and said: "What you said does make sense, but if they really left from the black market smuggling ship, then why didn't Ljungberg Weai stop or arrest them?
His wisdom and experience make it impossible not to send people to closely monitor the smuggling ships in the black market. Since you can find out this information, how could he not know?"
"What if he pretends not to see it on purpose?" The blood wizard suddenly asked a surprising question.
Leo easily understood what the other person was referring to, but he asked knowingly, "What do you mean by that?"
"Do you really believe in Ljungberg Weai?" the blood wizard pointedly asked.
Leo frowned and said: "Although I have only met Ljungberg Weai a few times and only exchanged a few words with him, I know very well what kind of person he is...,"
"But people can change." The blood wizard said with an extremely serious expression: "Ljungberg Weai has always regarded Miria City as his child and his lover. When the United Kingdom Parliament makes a decision,
Do you know what Ljungberg's expression looked like when we completely abandoned Miria City and set up a defensive line in the south? I still can't forget the way Ljungberg cursed everyone in the parliament hall. Now Miriam
Asia City has been completely destroyed, how much sanity do you think Ljungberg Weai, who loves Miria City so deeply, can have left?"
Leo didn't speak, but his face became a little ugly. It was obvious that Lawrence Hillman's words had affected him.
"Ljungberg has always been cautious. After he founded the Freedom Front, he did so many things, but no one found any useful clues. No one even knew who had joined the Freedom Front."
As Lawrence spoke, he stood up, walked to the entrance of the tent, pointed to the men outside the tent, and said: "Not to mention other people, my men here must have people from the Freedom Front, but I don't know at all.
It was impossible to find out. Such a person whose whereabouts were hidden so deeply was found to be abnormal by the guys at the medical school during the investigation. And the old guys at the medical school uncharacteristically withdrew all relevant information before any force could react.
personnel and have prepared complete countermeasures. Is it possible that such a thing could happen?"
"All your speculations are that the people in the medical school left from the black market, but what about the people in the key medical school who left from the railway controlled by the imperial army?" Leo quickly thought of the blood wizard's inference.
He retorted: "In my opinion, it is more likely that these people will leave from the railway. You must know that the medical school also has a great influence within the Imperial Army. As far as I know, some logistics officers of the Imperial Army even came forward in person.
Buying and transporting people for experiments for the people in the medical school, so..."
Lawrence Hillman smiled and said: "Mr. Dodd, you may not know that just one day ago the Northern Hannossa League issued a proclamation prohibiting the imperial army's supplies from entering and exiting their territory."
"How dare they do this?" Whether it was in the past or now, all the information Leo collected about the Hannossa League gave people an impression of being weak and vulnerable. It was just sandwiched between the East and West Flanges.
The poor people between regions may be destroyed at any time.
Lawrence Hillman’s exact retort: “Why don’t they dare to do this?”
Leo opened his mouth but said nothing more, because at this time he recalled all the information about the Hannossa League and found that he seemed to be misled. Almost all the information about the Hannossa League came from some biased people.
News reports, all of which without exception claimed that the Hannossa League was a barbaric wasteland and that the people of the League were also a group of backward barbarians.
But in fact, the Hannossa League has experienced the strongest period of the French Empire from its establishment to the present, but it has never been annexed and has always stood intact in the northern swamps. It can be seen that the strength of the Hannossa League is not bad.
It's just that various information has caused some misleading.
At this time, what Leo was thinking about was not the medical experiment and the whereabouts of the Plague Ring, nor whether Ljungberg was really related to the medical school experiment, nor the blood wizard's obviously provocative analysis, but
Accessory brain system.
All along, whether in the Earth Federation or in the world of Velen, he has been very dependent on the accessory brain system. From the moment he was reborn on the battlefield, the first thing he did when it was slightly safer was to use the split-brain technique to regenerate his brain.
Creating an accessory brain, and relying on the accessory brain system, he can integrate into the world so smoothly.
Just like what is happening now, if the accessory brain system is still there, there is almost no need for his main consciousness to think too much. The accessory brain system, which is absolutely rational, will show him a list of analysis of things, and he only needs to choose from them.
Just choose the most likely option.
However, now that he has lost the accessory brain system, even though he still has the same abilities as the accessory brain in data collection, data analysis, etc., he no longer has that absolutely rational mentality. His mentality is easily disturbed by some external factors.
Make some wrong judgments and analyses.
Leo's expression at this moment caused Lawrence Hillman to misunderstand, thinking that his words had an effect. Leo was already suspicious of Ljungberg and was preparing to continue his efforts to see if he could use Leo's power to investigate.
When Ljungberg joined the Freedom Front, Leo made an unexpected move.
