The night is gradually fading and dawn is approaching.
The applicator did not rest, but went directly into the shop and found one of the witnesses.
He directly used the shop lobby as an interrogation room and questioned the person in charge of the Bengbu branch: "You participated in the melee when the fishmen attacked the island and survived."
"Tell me about your performance in this battle?"
The first question is relatively simple and helps relieve the witness's nervousness.
Many times, when you are nervous, you forget details. Often the clues contained in these details are the most valuable.
The person in charge of the Bengbu branch was naturally nervous, because the gold level in front of him was average, and he was a member of the Blood Light Sanctioning Institute.
Just the uniform he wears can make almost everyone in the Shengming Empire tremble with fear!
"I noticed that in this melee, many merchant ships left the port first and escaped before the battle, which in turn destroyed the defense line of Double Eye Island. Why did you do such an act of collaboration with the enemy?"
This is the second problem with the paint.
The person in charge of the Bengbu branch quickly complained: "Sir, we are just businessmen, not soldiers."
"Before the battle comes, our first choice is to protect the Chamber of Commerce's properties so that they suffer as little loss as possible."
"Fighting is what soldiers should do."
"At that time, although our Bengbu branch's boat also participated, our heads were actually in a mess. The scene at that time was too chaotic, and the island owner seriously neglected his duty and did not organize us. I was trapped and drove the boat out of the port in a daze.
Already."
"But after that, we analyzed the situation and carried out arduous resistance and fighting without fear of sacrifice."
"In the end, with our efforts, we repelled the invading fish people."
The person in charge of the Bengbu branch tried to shirk the problem while taking the credit for himself to protect himself.
Tu Zi did not expose him, but asked the third question: "What do you think of the island owner Hutong?"
The person in charge of the Bengbu branch suddenly stared and roared indignantly: "He is just a scumbag, a scumbag, no noble sense of honor, and a complete bastard!"
Tuya was surprised and suddenly became interested: "Tell me more about it."
The person in charge immediately said: "He massacred us!"
"During the battle, he used the Golden Sparkle and killed many businessmen."
"Three of the heads of the six major chambers of commerce died in the battle."
"Even if he said it was because of the devil's gold coins, who knows? We very much doubt that he did it on purpose!"
"After the war, we analyzed and concluded that Huantong actually has the time and ability to organize us."
"But he allowed us to move freely, and he bet that we would flee in panic. This destroyed the defense line, and we were at fault. He could use this reason to launch an attack and terminate the business contract we had signed with him."
"Why should we terminate the contract?" Tu Zi asked.
"Because Double Eye Island will be used as one of the hubs of the transportation line." The person in charge said, "Huntong concealed this matter, and we only learned of this important information recently."
"In many cases, information is money!"
"Huntong just wants to frame us and make us make mistakes so that he can get away and let Double Eye Island transform smoothly. He won't pay any price!"
"He is so smart in plotting against us!"
"It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Haha, he was tricked. The devil's gold coins made his plans come to nothing."
"He caused us huge losses. He is a lord and has an unshirkable responsibility. It is completely reasonable for us to seek compensation."
"But he didn't pay a penny, and he still hasn't compensated us even a penny."
"Not only that, he also used this as a condition to force us to change the previous business agreement."
"If he doesn't have money, forget it. At least we can understand."
"But sir, do you know? Hutong has become rich, and he has seized a huge amount of wealth!"
"Those wealth are the fishmen. The pirates robbed us and robbed the whole island. He regarded them as trophies and took them to his own treasury!"
"You think this kind of lord is hateful? He is obviously rich, but he doesn't compensate. And he uses this as a condition to force us to make more concessions."
"Sigh... We are just small responsible persons appointed by the Chamber of Commerce."
"We simply don't have the authority to do it. Even if we back down and change the contract, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely hold us personally accountable."
"Huntong is forcing us to die!"
The person in charge of the Bengbu branch seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, complaining endlessly and getting out of hand.
The painter is happy to see this happen.
Because he could see that the person in charge of the Bengbu branch showed his true feelings.
The credibility of testimony in this state is very high.
Tuya listened patiently and asked questions from time to time.
After asking clearly, he continued to rush to the next location of the Chamber of Commerce.
After asking many people, the sky became brighter.
As soon as I walked out of Huoshi Store, I saw a group of people at the door.
"We are members of the bandage mercenary group, sir. We are reporting to you the lord Hutong here!" This group of people stated their intention to come.
Tu Zi nodded: "If you don't come to me, I will come to you."
"very good."
"Go to the tavern over there and say everything you want to say."
Naturally, Dawn's tavern is not open yet.
But the mercenaries forced the door open. When the owner of the bar saw the coated clothes, he suddenly got excited. He quickly shook off his reluctant expression, opened the door, and let the mercenaries in.
Tu Ji said: "Give all the mercenaries a glass of beer. I'll take it."
When the mercenaries saw the beer, some had their Adam's apple rolling, while others' eyes became moist.
They lived a very difficult life during this period.
The two leaders stood beside Tu Zi and reported: "The master of Hutong Island has bad conduct. Not only did he not reward according to his merits, he also framed Zhongliang."
"Our bandage mercenary group sweated, shed blood and paid a huge price for Double Eye Island, and made a huge contribution in the fish-men's attack on the island."
"But after the war, the island owner Huantong not only did not receive any rewards, but also imposed sanctions and suppression on us."
"He bullied our regiment leader into dying in battle, and actually sold our flagship White Bandage directly to the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group!"
"After that, he suppressed us everywhere and annexed the meager property of our regiment."
"We don't have any pensions, and we even gradually lose our jobs. Some of us even have to beg to make a living."
The two leaders talked to each other, telling each other about the various crimes committed by Huantong.
However, Tumo remained expressionless and asked sharp questions from time to time.
The conversation lasted for half an hour, and Tu Zi got up and left.
The mercenaries quickly stood up and sent each other off.
"Sir, the reason why we insist on staying here is because we hope that you will come to investigate."
"Sir, please severely punish this old guy Huantong. He has tarnished his reputation and is a moth in the empire!"
Amid the constant appeals of the mercenaries, Tu Zi left the tavern.
The sun rises and the sea breeze blows.
The vines, corals and branches of Double Eye Island can be seen everywhere, forming a blue-green tone.
The sun is warm and full of vitality.
I didn't sleep all night, but I was still energetic.
This was nothing worth mentioning to him. He once stayed up for seven days and seven nights just to capture an absconding necromancer.
Past successful experiences told him: To hunt down the Necromancer, you must race against time and persevere.
"The Chamber of Commerce and the mercenaries have completed collecting evidence, and the next ones are the people from the Wealth Sect."
The sect members who once fought side by side with Hutong expressed their strong dissatisfaction with Hutong when faced with the inspection.
"The priest of our religion died in the battle. As the lord, Huantong not only did not show any expression, but also refused to return the property of our sect."
"Although these properties were robbed by pirates, they eventually became Huntong's trophies."
"Huntong secretly cleaned the battlefield, it's so unethical."
"The friendship I had with him fighting side by side, and the memory of working hard with him to create the prosperity of Eye Island, have all been forgotten by him."
"Recently, he even received some people from the Justice Sect with ulterior motives!"
"I believe that he is not an excellent lord."
While Tu Zi was collecting evidence from the Wealth Sect, Tan Mo got up.
After he washed up hastily, he called out the eye deviant alone for interrogation in the interrogation room of the city lord's palace.
As soon as Yanyi came in, he complimented Tanmo enthusiastically and expressed his curiosity tactfully: "Why are you interrogating the young one alone so early? Master Tanmo, you have come a long way, you should have a good night's rest."
"After the investigation, please give me a chance to receive you well."
Tan Mo yawned and said full of resentment: "Of course I want to have a good rest. Who made our Master Zhi so motivated that he didn't sleep all night, going around to investigate and collect evidence."
Yan Yi's expression changed slightly, he sighed, and said pointedly: "I have heard about the majesty of the Blood Light Sanctioning Institute for a long time, and this time I can personally experience it."
Tan Mo sat, leaning his upper body forward, supporting his elbows on the table, and stared at him: "I have already read the information. If you don't hide anything more, you will be very sure of getting through this time."
"Now, it's just you and me here."
"You have strange eyes, the person in charge of Eyes Island who returns the shadows. I will review you on behalf of the empire's senior officials."
"How much did you find out about Elder Ziteng who left?"
With a solemn expression in his eyes, his head held high, his body as straight as a gun, he solemnly and quickly reported: "Your Majesty, I have reported almost all of the information about the two elders of Ziteng."
Tan Mo nodded: "According to the secret agent's procedures, the content reported is only part of the report. The key part can only be reported through face-to-face communication. Now, you can report this part of the content."
Staring at Tan Mo with strange eyes: "Sir Tan Mo, please allow your subordinates to confirm your identity before reporting."
