Chapter 3051 The Dizzy Barn
Barn, who lost his beloved wife, showed unprecedented iron-blooded methods and cruelty in the process of tracking down the murderer.
He originally loved his subordinates as sons, but after his subordinates searched for the murderer to no avail, he ordered the execution of his subordinates who failed to do things well.
This was a cruelty and stain that he had never seen before in his life. At the same time, it also laid hidden dangers for his future life.
At first, Baan's brutal behavior did not attract many people's attention. Even if those men were executed, Baan's reputation was only slightly shaken.
After all, this is a hero who dares to face a terrifying existence like a natural disaster for the sake of the tribe.
People's tolerance for heroes is always inexplicably high.
However, as the investigation went unfavorable, Baan's temper became increasingly violent. In the most violent incident, he even executed nearly a hundred informants and spies who delivered intelligence in one day.
The long-term depression and anger fueled the negative emotions of Baan's subordinates. Finally one day, a dozen of his subordinates who were having trouble doing things did not go to Baan to report immediately after entering the city. Instead, they came secretly. Convergence at one corner of the town.
What they were discussing was not how to explain the failure of this operation to Bane, nor was it an excuse to shirk responsibility for the matter, but what they should do to assassinate Bane, just like they were discussing in the Oathkeepers at this moment. How to assassinate some of Held's men.
After a day of discussion, late at night and just before dawn, they sneaked into Barn's mansion, assassinated the guard who was watching the night, knocked out the maid who was about to scream, took advantage of the darkness, entered Barn's bedroom, and He showed his weapon and stabbed the leader who was once loved by them.
However, they overlooked one thing, that is, the reason why strong people are strong is not only because of their high level, but also because of their life experiences.
For example, Baan, Xilan and the like, their reputation and status are not just due to being related to each other, or leading troops to fight on the battlefield, but they have survived one crisis after another.
In the process of surviving these crises, they not only grew greatly in strength, but also grew far beyond others in other aspects of their bodies.
For example, the perception of danger and murderous intent.
As soon as he sensed that an assassin was coming, Barn's consciousness instantly shifted from deep sleep to light sleep. At the same time, he concentrated his attention and became highly alert to his surroundings.
When the assassin was about to assassinate him, Barn, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and at the same time, swung his sword to fight back.
Barn was good at using daggers, which was well known to passers-by at the time. The dagger was different from most weapons in that it was highly concealed and could kill the enemy unexpectedly.
It's fashionable to use open guns and clear swords, not to mention that at this time, there is calculation without intention.
It’s funny to say that originally, the assassin’s assassination of Bane was considered to be a case of the assassin’s calculations against Bane, but under the premise of absolute strength, it turned into a case of Bane’s calculations against the assassin, which has to be said. Fortune plays tricks on people.
Baan's swordsmanship is like a poisonous snake. When the sword is not drawn, most people will draw blood.
The short sword slashed across like a poisonous snake's fangs, slitting the throat of the assassin closest to the bed.
Then he supported the bed with his left hand, jumped off the bed with all his strength, and ran towards several other assassins who broke into the bedroom at extremely fast speeds.
Seeing that the assassination failed, Baan was still awake. The assassins knew that they were doomed today, so they rushed to fight Baan for their lives.
Barn raised the knife and dropped it, raised the knife and dropped it, puff puff puff, and after dozens of metal collision sounds and a dozen muffled sounds, all the assassins died, while Barn stood alone with the knife in his hand. In the lost pile, his eyes swept over everything around him.
The next step is to investigate. As for why there is no interrogation, what a simple question. The assassins are all dead and not even a single person is left alive. How can there be an interrogation?
Moreover, after Barn learned that these were the people who were sent to look for clues about the murderer of Emily, he vaguely noticed something, so he did not question the guilt of these people anymore, but treated them as if they were killed on the battlefield.
However, even though he showed a magnanimous attitude towards this matter, his reputation in the military has dropped to the same level as other generals.
The subordinates who carried out his orders no longer had the attitude that even if they died, they would solve the task for their beloved superior. Instead, they carried out the tasks with a business-like attitude.
However, the attitude of doing business privately cannot solve the problem, and the attitude of doing business privately is even less likely to have any effect.
So Emily's assassination case changed from the initial desperate pursuit to the later formalism.
It wasn't until Barn regained consciousness that he suddenly discovered that his dementia had directly led to the murder of Emily, which had a chance to be solved, becoming more complicated and difficult to solve.
It was only then that he began to reconsider Xi Lan's suggestion.
However, at this moment, nearly a year has passed since Emily's assassination, and Emily's body has been put into the coffin. We can't dig up the coffin again.
In a dilemma, Barn decided to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and reported all the intelligence clues he investigated on the Emily assassination case to the capital, and asked the goblin royal family for help.
In fact, the goblin royal family's attitude is to be close to and win over the powerful and famous adventurers such as Baan.
Therefore, the report submitted by Baan did not take long before it was taken over by an elder of the Goblin Royal Family.
The elder gave his subordinate an order and ordered him to lead people to investigate the assassination of Emily.
However, this is only work on the surface. As for privately, the elder who took over did not think that there would be any substantial progress in this case. After all, nearly a year had passed and the traces of the crime scene had been washed away by the rain. To close the case, haha, it’s a bit of a fantasy.
However, seeing that Barn was dead and ended the disaster in the moaning cave, it did not chill the hearts of the soldiers. They could only bite the bullet and do it, but they must have cursed Barn in their hearts: You bastard, you can't Submit the case earlier?
After several months of investigation, there was no result in the assassination of Emily. The investigators in charge of the investigation could only give Barn a simple conclusion: the assassination of Emily was carried out by an adventurer with professional assassination skills who could hire An adventurer who can afford this level must be worth a lot and must have a considerable social status.
Therefore, due to his confusion, Barn finally came to only two conclusions: the person who assassinated Emily was very rich and a noble.
As for the reason for the assassination, the investigators did not give it, and in fact they could not give it, because Emily might be assassinated for many reasons.
For example, vendetta, for example, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and another example, killing for love.
