Everyone in the cab turned their attention to He Ao at this moment.
After all, He Ao is also a ‘big shot in the morning’.
He Ao touched his chin and fell into short thought.
Is it possible that just when I wanted to find someone from Liming to look for clues, the other party came to my door?
Is there a good thing about this kind of prey jumping in?
However, this area is the territory of the Coastline Defense Force, which is equivalent to an extension of the institute's power. It stands to reason that Liming is unlikely to send people to mess around here, as the risk factor is too high.
In fact, after attacking the institute's cruise ship, Dawn should be in a state of contraction now in order to prepare for the institute's retaliation.
The large-scale recruitment of former members of the Free Sailors is obviously still somewhat unreasonable.
He Ao looked at the old captain and said softly, "Follow their instructions and move closer."
"yes."
The old captain nodded. He had no doubts. This person was a big shot from Liming, and he was also from Liming over there. Maybe they were together.
Anyway, he just needs to be obedient.
The supply ship changed course, started to communicate with the radio, and headed in the direction of the other party.
The other party can send a surrender radio, which proves that the other party has seen the ship and the distance between the two is not far.
He Ao left the wheelhouse and stood on the deck looking through binoculars.
Soon I discovered a huge cargo ship in the distance. There were speedboats on the cargo ship. It looked like a classic pirate mother ship.
In about ten minutes, the two ships came close to each other.
First, several pirates armed with submachine guns climbed onto the supply ship, and then a man in neat formal attire and sunglasses, who was incompatible with the pirates, climbed up the rope ladder.
The man's complexion is pale, unlike other pirates who are tanned, his skin is more delicate, and his lower body is flaccid. It is obvious that he has not been a crew member at sea, nor has he been engaged in manual labor. He is a pampered young man.
"This is Mr. Zuo Nuo, the brother-in-law of Boss Balan, and the new boss of our free sailors. Behind him is the support of the great figures of Liming. Do you know Liming? They are all messengers of Nora, people with great power.
Superman.”
A pirate walking at the front stood in front of He Ao and introduced arrogantly.
Nora is the main god believed by the Alanor people, and Nora's messenger means the messenger of God.
This positioning of Dawn is very interesting. If they only cooperated with Balaam, they would not have to design an identity for themselves that fits the myths and legends of the Alanor people.
This identity has no meaning for their actions. They don't even need to expose themselves to the sight of the Alanor people. They just need to support Balaam.
Unless they want to dig deeper in this place.
He Ao suddenly realized that he seemed to have touched some key point.
He set his sights on the arrogant man dressed as a 'gongzi brother'.
Balaam’s brother-in-law...
According to the information that the commentators had tortured before, Balan’s mistresses were numbered in the dozens, and his brother-in-law counted them by the dozens.
This status is really worthless.
Since the identity of brother-in-law is not valuable, then the identity of Liming should be valuable.
"Middle-earth people?"
The pirate at the front looked at He Ao without saying anything. The crew behind He Ao didn't seem to be frightened by the name he said. He pointed his gun at He Ao and asked, "Are you a spy from the Coast Guard?"
He Ao glanced at him, turned sideways, and walked towards the elegantly dressed young man.
"Made, you spy."
The arrogant pirate saw He Ao ignoring him, put down his gun, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed He Ao directly in the heart.
The angle at which this man swung the knife was very tricky. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely be killed by this stab.
Obviously, the other party has killed more than one person and has rich experience.
Moreover, the other party seemed to be arrogantly provoking trouble, but in fact, he had a delicate mind. He found that claiming the names of Balan's brother-in-law and Liming could not convince the people on the ship, so he thought of killing people to establish his authority.
And He Ao, who has a foreigner's face, is naturally the best target to establish his authority.
He labeled He Ao as a "spy", but he actually had murderous intentions.
As for why you use a knife instead of a gun.
The scene caused by the knife is more bloody than the gun, and the effect of establishing authority is better.
The cold sword light flashed past.
Bright red blood sputtered out.
He Ao pulled out the dagger from the man's chest, turned it around in his hand, and inserted it back into his waist.
The whole movement was smooth and fluid, without any pause or hesitation, and even his steps never stopped.
The fresh life force flowed into He Ao's body along the dagger, making his face a little rosier.
This dagger is called the Night Dagger, and it can absorb the enemy's life and increase your own strength.
By the time everyone came to their senses from this bloody scene, the man who attacked He Ao had fallen to the ground and was no longer struggling.
And He Ao also walked up to the fancy-dressed young man Zuo Nuo.
"Who in the dawn protects you?"
Zuo Nuo looked at He Ao's gentle cheeks that were still stained with some blood, swallowed, his legs went weak, and he knelt down directly on the ground.
"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life."
······
Forty minutes later, He Ao finally learned the specific situation from Zuo Nuo.
This guy originally worked in the city to help Balan manage the business industry, so he was raised with fine skin and tender meat.
After Balaam died, he immediately collected a sum of money and prepared to run away. Unexpectedly, he met the dead pirate leader just now.
The other party was originally the boss of this pirate mother ship. He was a cruel man and it was common for him to kill people and steal goods.
In order to save his life, Zuo Nuo claimed that he was supported by Dawn and was here to reorganize the free sailors.
Zuo Nuo was in charge of property and had read books, so he had many contacts with people in Liming.
The pirate leader knew Zuo Nuo, and also knew that Zuo Nuo knew someone from Liming, so he confessed Zuo Nuo, claiming to be Liming's boss, and planned to use this as a pretext to recruit ships that were originally free sailors.
Zuo Nuo knew that he was just a puppet and had no room to speak, but he did not dare to run away, because if he ran, he would definitely die.
The money he collected was also taken away by the pirate leader in the name of "reward".
Of course, the pirate leader's "grand ambition" came to an end because the first ship encountered He Ao.
And during this, He Ao learned about Liming's arrangement in Alano.
Not only did they support Balan as a spokesperson, they were also deeply involved in the management system of the Free Sailors.
All pirate leaders with a slightly higher status among the free sailors are aware of their existence, and also know that they and Balan jointly hold the rights of the free sailors.
Balaam claimed to be the incarnation of Norah, and they called themselves the messengers of Norah.
That's why the pirate leader just now thought of asking Zuo Nuo to recruit the remnants of the free sailors in the name of Dawn.
After knowing that He Ao was from Liming, Zuonona bowed to him and said flattering words one after another.
However, He Ao ignored him. He received another news at this moment.
News from Yang De.
The results of the Liu family's interrogation have come out.
Since the institute immediately isolated the Liu family crew members for observation after the incident, it was very easy to find them and the interrogation was very fast.
Yang De originally planned to bring these extraordinary people into contact to see if they could develop and become members of the overseas department, but he did not expect that there would be unexpected gains.
None of these staff members had any anti-interrogation skills, and the institute found out the truth of the incident with little hindrance.
One of these workers often gambles in the underground casino in Port Nolar. In the chaotic Arano, these underground industries are very developed.
This staff member was addicted to gambling and was already heavily in debt.
When he was being chased by a creditor in a casino, a mysterious man found him and said he could help him pay off his debt and give him a huge sum of money, but he needed to do something for the mysterious man.
Then he roped in two colleagues and jointly took on the task.
They first deliberately did not refuel, and when the time came, they followed the mysterious man's instructions and contacted a specific supply ship.
During the supply time, I got the things delivered by the supply ship and gave them to the tombkeeper.
Yang De stopped when he investigated the line of the tomb keeper, because the tomb keeper had died in the ruins.
But he immediately realized that the gravekeeper was someone else's nail buried in the research institute, and the person behind the scenes was most likely Li Ming.
After all, Port Noral, where the incident mainly took place, is in Alano, and the free sailors who cooperated with Dawn are very powerful in Alano.
When Yang De passed the information to He Ao, he had already contacted members of the institute in Port Noral to prepare for a large-scale search for Liming's people.
But he doesn't have particularly high expectations. After all, after Li Ming attacked the institute, he should have considered this situation. The more important people should have run away long ago.
He Ao also had a similar view.
There are already people from the institute searching Port Noral, so he may not necessarily get better results if he goes there.
He looked at Zuo Nuo in front of him, and all the information in his mind came together.
Zuo Nuo's mouth is very smooth, and he speaks some words and leaves some behind.
For example, he said that he helped Balaam manage the property, but did not say where he managed the property.
And since he was intercepted by the pirate leader near Port Noral, the only prosperous place around here that can have industrial management is Port Noral.
He devalued himself very low in the narrative, but since he can manage an entire industry and is directly regarded as the boss by the pirate leader, even if he is just a puppet, it proves that he has appeal, and his original status as a free sailor
It shouldn't be too low either.
He Ao knelt down and looked at Zuo Nuo who was kneeling on the ground with a smile.
Zuo Nuo looked at He Aosi's slightly crazy smile and felt a little frightened. He asked tremblingly, "Sir, is there anything you need me to do?"
"You were the one who took care of those crew members in the casino before? You did a good job,"
He Ao looked at him calmly, "I have lost contact with other people in the organization. Can you still contact me?"
He Ao was actually not sure whether Zuo Nuo had something to do with the casino, but if the other party was the manager of the free navy industry in Port Noral, he would probably be exposed to these things.
Zuo Nuo also said before that due to his position, he had interactions with some members of Liming.
There is no harm in cheating.
Hearing He Ao's words, Zuo Nuo stiffened.
In fact, he had never met Hu Wen, and he didn't know whether Hu Wen was from Liming.
But what the casino did before was top secret, and he did a good job of keeping it secret. Only the big shots in Liming knew about it.
He Aoneng pointed out that he was either really a big shot in the morning, or the enemy had found out the reason and came to frame him specially.
He could bet that He Ao was fake, but he didn't dare to bet.
The pirate leader's body is still floating in the sea, and the blood on the supply ship has not yet been washed away.
Judging from the way this gentleman behaves, he is indeed someone like Li Ming.
He swallowed and said slowly, "Your Excellency, you are so complimentary. When doing things for Liming, you must do your best, but I don't know the contact information of other adults of Liming..."
"Um?"
He Ao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zuo Nuo was so frightened that he fell to the ground and said tremblingly, "But I know the address of the person I worked with before, Mr. Liming, and I was originally going to seek refuge with him."
