Chapter 334 The Soul of the Dead Passes Away

Night, Shanxi Tavern.

As a normal business, the tavern is naturally open at night. In fact, there are still many guests here. On average, although you cannot make a fortune every month, you can still make a small balance.

At the back door, with the rapid sound of horse hooves, the hidden wooden door was kicked open, and then a figure rushed in holding a bloody body.

The secret agency personnel guarding here were startled, and subconsciously jumped up to attack with a knife. However, after seeing the person clearly, they were stunned.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

"Come this way...quickly, go and ask the old doctor to come...why are you still standing here? Why don't you go quickly!"

"By the way, there is a man in black in the car outside. He was tied up and taken into the cellar. Well, remember to eliminate the traces outside..."

"Yes Yes……"

…

There was chaos in the backyard, and several guards knew something was wrong and hurriedly took orders and left. Immediately after receiving the news, several senior officials including Enoch and Diff arrived one after another. After a moment, the old doctor from the secret agency rushed over with a medical kit.

In the house, there are bronze oil lamps and dim candlelight.

Josiah's face was livid with uncontrollable sadness as he looked at the bed and was hit by several arrows. Balao, who was being examined, kept walking around and seemed very impatient.

Tang En, who was covered in blood and stains, sat aside with an expressionless face. He glanced at Ba Lao, who was extremely angry, and shook his head slightly. This kind of injury would be severe even for someone with a perverted physique like his, let alone the elderly Ba Lao...

In the previous ambush, although they successfully repelled the attackers, Ba Lao was involuntarily blown away by the air wave of the exploding arrow, and was then shot by several arrows. He can breathe a little now because Ba Lao relied on his instinct to avoid the attack on the vital parts of his heart, but other organs in his body have been severely damaged and there is no way to save him...

Sure enough, after a while, the old doctor finished the examination, took a step back, looked into the eyes of Joshua full of expectation, shook his head sadly, and sighed.

Bang, as if Josiah had been hit by a sledgehammer, he staggered a few steps and fell back to the seat beside the bed, his face blank.

The old doctor's meaning was very clear. Enoch and other senior officials on the side also lowered their heads sadly, with slightly red eyes.

Since the establishment of the secret agency, people have died. Not to mention, some people have been caught and killed by the National Police Agency in the past short period of time. But here, no high-ranking person has ever been killed, and Balao is about to become the first.

"Doctor, you are thinking of a way, you must think of a way..." Difu, who has the best friendship with Balao, stepped forward and grabbed Dr. Baihu's arm, pleading continuously.

"Unfortunately, I really can't do anything..." Dr. Bai Hu looked sad and sighed helplessly, "Although Ba Lao's injury is not in the critical area, these arrows are too cruel... They are all barbed arrows, Ba Lao His internal organs have been almost completely minced, and now he can’t even take out the arrow. This is simply...sigh."

As soon as he sighed, Tang En suddenly turned his head. The breathless Balao on the bed was completely silent, and there was no ups and downs in his chest...

"Ba Lao..."

Several mournful wails sounded at the same time. Difu and others rushed to the bed, hammering the bed and shaking Balao's body... But none of this could stop the body's temperature from declining.

The stunned Josiah was awakened, looking at Balao's body, his lips moved unconsciously, he raised his trembling palms to cover his face, and his shoulders shrugged slightly.

A sad atmosphere flowed in the room. The dim yellow wick jumped and made a few slight popping sounds of oil beads, as if playing mournful music to send a dead soul away.

…

"Who is it? Who did it... Aren't you damn powerful? Why can't you protect Balao? Why..." After covering Balao's eyes that were wide open due to pain, Difu's face was red and furious. Jumped in front of Tang En and shouted.

Tang En raised his head, looked at the almost distorted face in front of him, narrowed his narrow eyes, then lowered his eyelids, and said calmly: "Who was present when the route was planned last night?"

"What the hell, what the hell am I asking you..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound, and Difu's body suddenly fell back to the seat opposite him as if struck by lightning. Tang En approached ghostly, leaned over and pressed Difu's face, and roared in a low voice: "Shut up!"

He stood up and asked several people who were shocked by the sudden situation, "I want to ask, who was present when the route was planned last night!"

"We are all here...what do you mean?" A young man reacted and asked with an unkind expression.

"What do you mean, haha..." Tang En sneered a few times, scanned the faces of the people present one by one, paused for a second on Enoch's face, and said again, "We were ambushed on the way back, I'm really a little bit I’m curious, if we didn’t get the route information in advance, how would the other party have arranged everything there for us to crash into, and, haha... there are even magic-breaking arrows!"

"What!" "How is it possible..."

Several people present were shocked and exclaimed.

Tang En's words are very clear, and that's exactly what happened. Neither the road map nor Josiah's identity as a magician can be known to outsiders. But now they were attacked along the way, and the other party was very familiar with the situation here. If it wasn't an insider, no one would believe it.

Tang En looked at the people in front of him indifferently, curled his lips and said: "I want to know your whereabouts during this period! Also, order people to investigate to see who else may have been exposed to these things."

"Are you doubting us?" Enoch said with a frown.

"Everyone is suspected." Tang En glanced over and said unceremoniously, "Of course you are no exception!"

"you……"

"Okay!" Joshua, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly shouted angrily, stood up, and said with a serious face, "Until this matter is investigated clearly, no one, including me, can leave this room." After a pause, he looked at the few people outside the room. A guard waved his hand and said, "You do as Tang wants, and be quick!"

"yes!"

…

After the guards left, the room fell silent again. Josiah stood stunned in front of the bed for a long time, his eyes flashing and he didn't say a word. Immediately after several people came in to collect Balao's body, he sat back on the chair with a tired look on his face, holding his forehead with one hand and lowering his eyes.

If there are no accidents, Balao's body will be smuggled out of the city tonight and buried in a cemetery outside the city. Of course, just in case, the names on the tombstones, which are the final resting place for all dead members of the secret agency, can only be engraved with pseudonyms.

Enoch and the others were sitting at tables nearby, accepting Tang En's cross-examination one by one.

Once Josiah's order was given, everything became simple. Moreover, this matter is indeed strange. It looks like the work of an insider, so Difu and others are very cooperative in the investigation.

The road map was just decided last night. This matter was of great importance, so except for a few senior officials, no outsiders were present at all. In order to avoid suspicion, Tang En did not directly participate in the discussion. He only checked the negotiated route at the end, so he did not know the situation at that time.

After some questioning, Tang En couldn't help but frown. Everyone had good reasons during this period, and there seemed to be no doubt about it. Of course, this does not mean that there is no problem. After all, there is no way to prove it at special times such as sleeping. And if it is borrowed from others, it will not be easy to investigate.

To be honest, among these people, Tang En was the most suspicious of Enoch. He had been secretly observing Enoch since he entered the house. It's a bit preconceived, because he really doesn't have a good impression of the Elvis family in Bosco. Moreover, it is not just a matter of impression. First of all, the Elvis family has long been at odds with him, and it is reasonable to stab him in the back. Furthermore, Josiah took over the position of head of the secret agency from Enoch, and recently seized the power of intelligence. No matter which one, it was enough to make Enoch feel murderous.

Of course, these are just suspicions. After all, Enoch is still a high-level member of the secret agency. It is naturally impossible for Tang En to kill people based on this conjectured motive.

Shaking his head, Tang En secretly planned to start with the man in black...

Just when I thought of this, the guards outside the door left and returned, walked into the house and bowed and said: "Captain, we have investigated. According to the brothers guarding the yard last night, no one approached the house. But..."

At this point, the words were hesitant. "Keep talking!" Joshua raised his head and said coldly.

The guard nodded: "But Peart is not in the tavern now. Well, he may have gone out for something, but this is a special period. According to the regulations, he cannot leave here..."

"Pierret?" Joshua frowned. There are too many people in the secret agency, and it is naturally impossible for her to know the names of all her subordinates.

Just then, snap! Enoch suddenly stood up, hammered his palms, and his expression changed drastically, "I know that person. He is usually responsible for cleaning up and destroying discarded intelligence information. Last night, he seemed to be responsible for cleaning up the things we discussed."

"Is it him? I have an impression that he seems to be quite loyal..."

"No, when we were discussing the route last night, we marked it on the map of Shanxi City. Could it be..."

"Damn, it must be him!"

…

As soon as all the information gathered, things gradually became clear. Peart was the most suspect, even though he did not enter the house at that time and find out the news. But as long as we go in afterwards, use the marked map, and combine the discarded information, it is still very possible to guess the retreat route of Josiah and the others.

At this time, Joshua also thought of this unattractive person, his face gradually darkened, and he made a decisive decision: "Send the order, the tavern is closed, and everyone is transferred to other contact points. Also, after arriving at the place, everyone Get out of here, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find Peart's whereabouts!"

"yes……"
