Obviously, no killer jumped out from the waiting crowd to attack Lawrence and the others at this time. The two people took the train to Rust Town smoothly, and caught a train at the train station when they left Rust Town.
When heading to Fir Town to purchase a carriage, Nora's voice appeared in Lawrence's mind.
"Brother, I have now found some clues from the corpses of these killers and the things they carried with them. Do you want to hear it now?"
"Of course, now I really want to know where these people came from and why they came to kill me?" Lawrence felt very strange about this assassination, because he didn't offend too many people except the Church of Disease.
And the method of assassination used by this group of people was obviously not the method used by the Church of Disease.
After all, if the Church of Disease wants to kill Lawrence, they will definitely use their most common methods to poison or cast disease-related spells or divine spells, because only in this way can the power of the church and gods be demonstrated to warn others. Instead of like now.
Carry out assassinations secretly.
"These people are probably professional killers, because most of the firearms and weapons they use are commercially available. There are even several guns that are pieced together from the parts of multiple guns, and the inscriptions on the parts are all
They were worn away and basically impossible to trace." The first characteristic of these people that Seifer said did not exceed Lawrence's expectation. One of the most basic knowledge in the killer profession is not to carry something that can easily reveal one's identity when killing people.
something.
"The stabbing sword used by the transcendent before was temporarily smeared with some special magic grease before the battle to give it a magic-breaking effect during the battle. However, the sword itself was just made of steel with good overall statistics.
It’s just a cane and stabbing sword, which is considered excellent among ordinary weapons.”
"Because the steel used to make bayonet has a wide range of applications and is used in almost all walks of life. And we do not have metallographic samples of steel from various places for comparison. Therefore, it is impossible for us to obtain more information by analyzing the material."
After saying this, Nora suddenly became excited.
"But I can be sure that the opponent is an organized group of people rather than a mob. Because when I took apart the hilt of the sword, I found a three-digit number engraved on the sword that was previously covered by the hilt."
"That is to say, this kind of rapier, at least the blade of the rapier, is mass-produced." Lawrence subconsciously tapped his thigh with his index finger and thought. "And this means that there is a relatively complete person behind the opponent.
Logistics system support.”
"That's right." Nora's voice echoed in Lawrence's mind. "And the previous firearms that were all made up of several gun parts also exposed the same information. After all, the exchange of different gun parts will affect the quality of the firearms.
Performance. If there are one or two such firearms among the seized firearms, it is normal. But if every firearm is like this, it seems a bit cover-up."
"In addition to these weapons, the medicines they carry with them are obviously products of standardization. But excluding the things needed for assassination, they carry very few things with them. Even the few people who came back from the same airship with us before
The suitcase they were carrying was empty, and they were obviously just props in their hands to hide themselves from others." Nora made a final summary of the items carried by these people, and then revealed the biggest discovery found in these belongings.
"Although these things are all products of industrial production, I found some agents used to repel mosquitoes and conceal odors on the group of people who ambushed you. At the same time, I also found a lot of chemicals in the mud stuck to the soles of their shoes that are only found in the wild.
There are some things, so I suspect that this group of people should have been operating in the wild before."
"Except that the two teams that ambushed Sephiel and I may have come from the same tight-knit organization, and they may have been active in the wild before, did you find anything else from those corpses?" After discussing what those people were carrying.
Lawrence inquired further.
"I suspect these people have served in the military before." During that time, Nora not only carefully inspected the things carried by these killers with the help of the group of jackals, but also performed an autopsy on the corpses. Through
Nora obtained more clues from the detailed dissection of the corpses of these killers.
"Did you find calluses on their index fingers, shoulders and knees?" Lawrence asked. In this era, due to the speed of fire of firearms, soldiers often practiced lining up to shoot. Even the Britons proudly wore red military uniforms.
The formation of soldiers is called the thin red line that cannot be crossed.
Under such circumstances, a soldier who often practices fighting will leave obvious marks on the shoulder that holds the gun butt, the index finger that pulls the trigger, and the knees that often touch the ground when practicing kneeling shooting. That's why Lawrence
Ask Nora if she found anything different from ordinary people in those parts.
"You guessed it wrong, brother." After listening to Lawrence's words, Nora's tone suddenly became naughty. "Or maybe I didn't guess all of them right, because I didn't find anything on their knees.
Too many marks left after practicing kneeling shooting. But they have calluses on the inner thighs, and they also have calluses on the index fingers of both hands."
"The most important thing is that I found that all of these people had a mark on their left arms that had been burned away by a soldering iron. And based on the remaining paint and traces on the burnt marks, I restored a small half with a horseshoe.
Coat of arms.”
"In other words, they may have been cavalry before and have not received conventional infantry training. They may be some kind of special cavalry." Lawrence immediately guessed the possibility of the other party as soon as he heard the remaining pattern of the last coat of arms.
identity. After all, only certain churches, gangs or the military have tattoos on certain parts of the body.
At least in the Federation and the western part of the Old Continent, different types of organizations basically follow the heraldry rules of the western part of the Old Continent when choosing their tattoos. This kind of tattoo with a horseshoe pattern on the coat of arms belongs to
Cavalry troops.
Of course, the information that can be inferred from the remaining parts of the tattoo is limited to this. Because the coat of arms of the cavalry basically adds a horseshoe pattern to the shield, it is impossible to further identify the opponent's identity through the remaining tattoos after burns.
Already.
However, it can be inferred from the fact that the opponent has received two-handed shooting training that these killers are not ordinary cavalry, because now even cavalry must undergo certain infantry training, and only some special troops can be exempted. At the same time, ordinary cavalry are fighting on horseback.
When riding, you need to have one hand free to control the mount, and not many people can use weapons with both hands."
"Brother, you are right. And based on the memory of the entire battle that you sent me and the information obtained from the autopsy, I think the other party was probably a scout in the past, and that group of people was an adult.
An organized scout team. Because among the ordinary people in the army, they are the only ones who can organically practice this kind of close-range small-scale combat technique."
"It's an organized team, are you sure?" Hearing this, Lawrence frowned and asked. After all, the nature of hiring scattered retired soldiers to train as killers is completely different from having a whole team of elite troops as killers.
The former approach only requires enough money, but the latter approach requires not only enough money, but also sufficient power.
And once a certain force is involved, the complexity of the events hidden behind Lawrence's encounter with the killer will inevitably exceed his previous imagination, and it will also be more difficult to pinpoint the true identity of the other party.
"I'm not 100% sure. It's also possible that the other party spent a lot of energy to train a group of killers according to the internal training methods of the army, and then branded such tattoos on their bodies to confuse other people's sight. Because I have nothing from their souls before.
From reading it, this is probably the result of being restricted by some kind of soul magic." Nora said, "But haven't you discovered that the facts hidden behind these two possibilities actually point to the same fact for us?"
"Yes, you are right." Lawrence also reacted at this time. Whether he is commanding an entire retired or even active military elite team or a team trained according to that training method, it shows.
There is something very complicated behind this assassination of him.
"Although I have offended many people, after thinking about it carefully, those people either do not have the ability to send out such a large team to assassinate, or they have the ability, but they will never attack me in this way." Lawrence thought, "
It feels like the situation is getting more and more complicated now.”
"Don't think about the backhand of these killers, my brother." Nora comforted her after noticing that Lawrence was frowning and thinking. "Don't forget that this assassination happened after your father suddenly sent you a mail.
A letter appeared later, and you might be able to figure out what happened after you get home and ask your father."
