Embers Ad Infinitum

"Captain Han?" Not only Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, but also Jiang Baimian were quite surprised.

She remembered that when she and Shang Jianyao returned to the section of the defense line where Han Wanghuo was responsible, there were many bodies lying there and blackened areas everywhere.

Under such an environment, Han Wanghuo could die at any time. Like other members of the town guard, he would not have better luck just because he was the peace officer.

If he was the one who betrayed the information about Bishop Renato's return to the headquarters to the murlocs and mountain monsters, then there was no need for him to be at the forefront. He could just find an excuse to move to a place where he would be less vulnerable to attack.

This is like not only betraying the rope to hang oneself, but also sticking one's head into it.

Unless Han Wanghuo's real strength is much stronger than what he shows, and he is confident enough to survive to the end under the charge of the coalition forces, but a person with this kind of strength does not need to be so cowardly... Jiang Baimian was surprised. Such a thought flashed across my mind.

At this time, Shang Jianyao responded firmly:

"I do not believe."

The words of Song He's explanation came to his mouth and were blocked back.

Forensic doctor Weller next to him couldn't help but said:

"You haven't heard the reason yet, why do you just say you don't believe it?"

"I believe him." Shang Jianyao gave his reason.

"Then why do you believe him?" Weller seemed to want to argue the right and wrong with Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao glanced at him:

"Men's intuition."

"..." Weller suddenly felt that the other party was full of loopholes, but there were no loopholes at all.

Shang Jianyao taught him sincerely:

"You can say 'what kind of man are you'."

"Then what?" Weller asked subconsciously.

Shang Jianyao frankly stated the follow-up arrangements:

"I will take off my pants and show you if you are a man, and then you will not be able to bear the insult and become very angry, and then we can go out and have a fight, with music."

What does this mean... Weller looked confused.

Jian Shang Jian Yao successfully changed the subject. Jiang Baimian exhaled helplessly, looked at Song He and said:

"Warner Song, what's your reason?"

Because Weller was there, the conversation between them was still in Honghe dialect.

Song He looked away and his expression became serious again:

"He could be a sub-human being."

"Second person?" Jiang Baimian did not expect to get such an answer.

Similarly, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were quite surprised.

Thinking of the yellowish whites of Han Wanghuo's eyes, they all became thoughtful again.

"Subhumans are also human beings." Shang Jianyao tried his best to express his point of view.

Song He skipped his words and pointed to Weller beside him:

"That's what Dr. Weller discovered."

Weller took over the topic, sighed and said:

"To be honest, I don't want to believe it. I have a pretty good relationship with Captain Han. He will tell me which smuggling caravans bring their own prostitutes."

Having said this, his expression became a little more serious:

"Didn't Team Han get injured in the battle before, on his left arm?"

"Yes." Long Yuehong said that she had witnessed it with her own eyes, and Bai Chen nodded slightly.

Weller continued:

"I am a doctor after all, and I want to give him a look and treat the wound. If it gets infected, it won't be good, right?

"In the end, he actually rejected me and said he could handle it. Later, when he went to the room inside the police station to change his dressing, I thought it would be inconvenient for him to use one hand, so I drank the remaining water and prepared to wait. When he encountered difficulties, he went in to help him.

"We are both men, so I opened the door without knocking and went in. Who knows, I actually saw pieces of things on his arms, like, not too dense scales, more amber in color.

"At that time, the Korean team swept the ground and pulled down their sleeves without caring about the wound.

"Then he looked at me and asked me why I came in suddenly. At that time, his eyes were very dangerous, just like the way my boss looked when he saw me and his wife lying in bed.

"I quickly pretended that I didn't notice anything and said I wanted to come in and help him change his dressing. Team Han's eyes quickly returned to normal and he said that he had changed it.

"When I got out, the more I thought about it, the more wrong I became. I rushed to the church as soon as I got off work and found Warning Song.

"Warning Song told me not to panic first, to pretend that nothing happened, and to make some observations in secret."

After Weller finished speaking, Song He added:

"This matter has changed today, involving the issue of selling information to fishmen and mountain monsters. I can't wait any longer, so I have to come to you for help."

After Jiang Baimian listened quietly, he smiled and said:

"Warning Song, you can actually go to him in person. I believe he won't hide anything from you."

Nor will he behave unkindly towards you.

Song He sighed and said:

"I have a pretty good impression of Han Wanghuo. He has really done a lot of practical things in the past three years.

"As you know, due to doctrinal issues, as a clergyman, I cannot make the townspeople of Hongshiji trust each other and deal with the outside world together. Han Wanghuo at least did the last four words.

"I also see how serious and responsible he is. If I ask him in person, no matter what the outcome is, there will be gaps in everyone's hearts, and we may not be able to get along well in the future. But you are different. You are outsiders, even if you know something, I will leave soon and let the secrets be buried."

Weiler and Shang Jianyao both agreed deeply with Song He's words and nodded at the same time.

What did Song Warner mean in his words, to give Han Wanghuo a chance? As a clergyman of the Vigilance Sect and the de facto mayor of Hongshiji, he is certainly not fond of favoritism, and we are outsiders, we can do whatever we want... Is this his real intention for entrusting us? Jiang Baimian organized the language thoughtfully:

“I think we need to clarify one thing first:

"Whether Captain Han is a subhuman or not has no necessary connection with whether he has betrayed intelligence.

"Even if he is really inferior, it does not mean that he betrayed Hongshiji. At that time, he was really braving the hail of bullets to stop the enemy."

Song He showed a soft smile:

"Yes, I think so too."

Sure enough... After this conversation, Jiang Baimian confirmed his previous guess and said "hmm":

"I will divide the task into two parts. One is to find Captain Han to confirm whether he is a sub-human, and the other is to find the person who sold the information to the fishmen and mountain monsters."

"Very good." Song He greatly appreciated this plan.

Jiang Baimian immediately smiled and said:

"Since it's a mission, what's the reward?"

Song He glanced at the four masks one by one and said meaningfully:

"I wonder if you are interested in some knowledge related to the Awakened?

"I don't dare to reveal too confidential information. I can only say that if Tan Jie can know, you can too."

It seems that we have dealt with the awakened fishman and returned safely from exploring the forbidden temple, so that the warning person can confirm that there is at least one awakened person among us. And judging from the strange behavior of the awakened person, it is not difficult to guess. There is a high probability that Shang Jianyao is... Jiang Baimian can guess with his toes that Shang Jianyao must be eager to try now without turning his head.

She coughed and said:

“Knowledge is always expensive, and this pay is really good.

"Warner Song, we trust you, so we don't have to go through the Hunters Guild."

Song He smiled again:

"good."

Now that he had accepted the task, Jiang Baimian quickly entered the state:

“Warner Song, you have to give us a list.

"Those who knew that Bishop Renato was urgently transferred back to the headquarters before the fishmen and mountain monsters invaded. This should be a secret and not many people will know."

"I'm ready." Song He took out a folded piece of paper from the pocket of his black cloak. "This is divided into two parts. One part is about the people who were in the church at the time and witnessed the whole thing, and the other part is about the follow-up. Notify everyone."

The former all knew that Bishop Renato suffered from "unintentional disease".

It's easy to talk to smart people... Jiang Baimian took the piece of paper with a little joy.

She was not in a hurry to take a look, and sent Song He and Wei Le out of the room first, saying that she would start investigating early tomorrow morning.

After closing the door again, Jiang Baimian spread the paper on his bed.

The first part includes the pseudonyms of the members of "Qian Bai Team", namely Qian Bai, Zhang Qubing, Xue Shiyue and Gu Zhiyong.

"This part can be ignored for the time being." Jiang Baimian said as he read, "But it is not ruled out that someone here deliberately changed the information that Bishop Renato was suffering from an 'unintentional illness' to that Bishop Renato was urgently transferred back to the headquarters. , so as not to expose oneself later, anyway, for fishmen and mountain monsters, there is no essential difference between the two things."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the lower part.

This includes several clan leaders with big surnames among the Gray Whispers, several powerful smugglers among the Red River people, and Tan Jie and Han Wanghuo, who are very capable senior officials of the town guard.

If Herwig had not died and Ankhbas was suspected of selling arms to others, they would definitely be on the list of people who knew about the church incident in advance.

As his eyes moved downward, Jiang Baimian suddenly saw a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar:

Dimarco.

"Hey, how could I forget the people from the 'Underground Ark'..." Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.

As the three pillars of the Red Stone Group, the "Underground Ark" may be stronger than the Gray Whisperers and the Red River People. They are the ones who will be notified immediately no matter what happens in the vigilant church.

Long Yuehong immediately agreed:

"Yes, they stay underground all day long. Except for coming out to do some business, they don't even care about intrusions..."

At this point, Long Yuehong was stunned.

Bai Chen helped him say the following words:

"They are quite suspicious."

Long Yuehong said "hmm" and asked:

"Team leader, do you doubt them?"

"It's true, but it's not the most important thing." Jiang Baimian said and laughed, "Aren't we worried about how to contact Di Marco and investigate the situation when the old world was destroyed? This is an opportunity."

Before Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had time to respond, Shang Jianyao had already exclaimed in admiration:

"You are so bad."
