Chapter 329: Lead the Way (Please Collect, Subscribe and Vote for This Big Chapter)
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.
Could it be possible that just when he wanted to find someone from Liming to look for clues, the other party showed up to his door?
Is there such a thing as a good thing about 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 original members of the Free Sailors is obviously still a bit 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 an important figure from Liming, and he was also from Liming over there. Maybe they were together.
Anyway, he just needs to be obedient.
The supply ship turned its course, began 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 almost 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 looked incompatible with 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 the messenger of Nora means the messenger of God.
This positioning of Dawn is very interesting. If they just 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, as long as they support Balaam.
Unless they want to dig deep in this place.
He Ao suddenly realized that he seemed to have touched some key point.
He focused on the arrogant man dressed as a 'gongzi brother'.
Balaam’s brother-in-law...
According to the news that the publicist tortured before, Balan’s mistresses were numbered in the dozens, and his brother-in-law counted them by the dozen.
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 a word. 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 of the Coastline Defense Force?"
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, the knife would definitely kill him.
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 person to establish his authority.
He labeled He Ao 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 rosy.
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 is it that protects you at dawn?"
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, spare my life, my lord, spare your 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 rolled up 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 cruel 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 people 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.
And 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 in 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.
But 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 was able to figure out the truth of the incident with little hindrance.
One of these workers often gambled money in the underground casinos in Port Nolar. In the chaotic Arano, these underground industries are very developed.
This staff member was a gambler 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 contacted a specific supply ship according to the mysterious man's instructions.
Then 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 institute, and the person behind the scenes was most likely Li Ming.
After all, Port Nolar, where the main incident occurred, 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 Li Ming'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, all the information in his mind was connected together.
Zuo Nuo's mouth is very slippery. He speaks some words and leaves some behind.
For example, he said that he helped Balaam manage the property, but he did not say where he managed the property.
And since he was intercepted by the pirate leader near Port Noral, the only prosperous place with industrial management around here 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 in the free sailor It should not be 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 Aoshi'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 was related to 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 Dawn.
There is no harm in cheating.
Zuo Nuo stiffened after hearing He Ao's words.
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 Dawn 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 adult 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 in 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 in the morning, and I was originally going to seek refuge with him."
"Lead the way."
Heao stood up.
