Chapter 97 Clues
It looked like the owner had just left - a cut cigar was placed on the table, half burning and extinguishing itself. There was a glass of red wine on the table, but only a shallow bottom was left. Next to the glass was a container of ice and wine bottles, but the ice had turned into clear water, and the half bottle of wine was soaked in clear water.
These things were placed on a large mahogany desk, with a computer monitor, a bit of paper documents, and a fountain pen and an electronic pen.
Like most offices, behind the desk is a bookshelves, which are filled with books. There is a sofa and a coffee table on the other side, and a safe on the left side of the bookshelves.
The reason why he didn't rush to the office for a search was because Li Zhen believed that the other party was prepared. Either Xiao Heng had already put some things in place before leaving, or after learning about Xiao Heng's death, some people took care of his funeral.
Even if he came here an hour later, he wouldn't get more.
So he closed the door and walked to the front of the safe. Cut this thing with the Longines gun attached with the cutting space was like cutting butter. After a few gestures, the safe door was opened.
Li Zhen looked inside.
The result disappointed him a little - a small bag of diamonds, a lot of gold, a document that was useless after reading it, fifteen Anyuan.
Anyuan was once considered one of the effective means for the Empire to control B-level abilities. But Li Zhen hadn't dealt with this thing for a long time. When he saw it again today, he realized that even if the aurora came and even if the isolation belt came, B-level abilities still needed Anyuan. Today, when currency depreciation was depreciating, this thing is a perfect hard currency.
But the Anyuan...Li Zhen doesn't think it was hoarded by Xiao Heng. Because the number is too small. The number of people in Yuzhou will not be small, and the number of B-level people will not be small. It would be ridiculous if Xiao Heng just used these few things to control them.
Then... it was used by himself.
He was also a capable person in the past.
Li Zhen stood up and turned on the computer again. It turned out that the computer did not set a password, and there was almost nothing on the desktop except a few commonly used icons. Some information and data related to ordinary affairs were stored in the hard drive. He spent half an hour reading it quickly and carefully, and saw that most of the content was kept in his heart.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that it seemed that someone had cleaned it up first, but Xiao Heng, who really doesn't like to work on a computer, nor does he like to use a computer to store some secrets.
He felt a little disappointed, so he went to look through his drawer again. But he still didn't find anything - this man was originally going to be the king, and he was extremely conservative when he was the king, and seemed to just want to close the door and become unified.
Anyone like this has extremely strong personal desires. But this guy...
But he looks like a strict person, as if he has no other hobbies except the cigars and red wine on the table.
But I flipped through some things at the bottom of my desk - some photos.
There are photos of Xiao Heng and Xiao Yan, and photos of the suspected family of three. But judging from these dozen photos, Xiao Heng's wife has been dead for a long time.
Li Zhen frowned slightly and looked at the dozen or so photos carefully.
The edges are a little yellow. Logically speaking, this thing will not take too long, it was taken about five or six years ago. But since this situation occurs, it means that these photos are often taken in people's hands. The person should be Xiao Heng.
However, there is a thin layer of dust on the photos now, and the pictures on the top are also marked by other debris - such as small ornaments, ornaments and other things.
This shows that these photos have been suppressed here for a long time after being appreciated for a long time.
Li Zhen sat on the chair that Xiao Heng once sat on and breathed a sigh of relief.
So that's what Xiao Heng is indeed Xiao Heng - he was not replaced by someone.
Perhaps it was a few years ago that he was transformed into a disciple because of something, and his personality and emotions changed to a considerable extent. Therefore, he put away all the things he had before and threw them in an inconspicuous corner. But perhaps he was still a little nostalgic in his subconscious mind, and he did not completely destroy them, but just "release".
If he was an impostor, he wouldn't do this. He didn't want to expose too unusual things, and he wouldn't do such suspicious actions - he would put these things in place to show that he was not different.
Only "replica" can be done so righteously.
Xiao Heng...Xiao Heng. Li Zhen closed his eyes and leaned his head against the back of the chair. He began to recall the information he had just read, which was recorded in his mind.
In the past few years, which period of time has been the most abnormal?
He searched for a few minutes.
Then I remembered several of the records.
Xiao Heng has been out of the country twice. Both times were after the arrival of the isolation belt.
The first time was in 2018, when he went to the Philippines. Nowadays, it should be an area of "Southern Luzon". It was that time he brought Pang Feihong back. According to Pang Feihong's description, Xiao Heng seemed to be a normal person at that time - although there was always a sense of rebelliousness in his words, it was also rebelliousness belonging to humans.
The second time was in January 2019, when Xiao Heng went to Siberia. He had a good reason to go to Siberia - order Anyuan. Siberia was once vast and sparsely populated, and was the main source of raw materials for the empire and one of the main sources of Anyuan. Later, the isolation belt arrived, and the people there were even more confidence than those in Southern Luzon. Because between Siberia and the empire, the area outside the Great Wall, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land were occupied by the isolation belt.
During the whole year from 2016 to 2017, there was a complete isolation from the empire. It was not until half a year later that the isolation zone diverged again, and areas where "gate" could pass through appeared, and gaps of large or small began to appear randomly.
Siberia holds important resources. So using these resources as bargaining chips, the place becomes "autonomous" in a practical sense. Many things no longer supply empires according to the orders of the central government, and even free trade is restricted. As for "Anyuan", they become rare products among rare products. Only those who pay a sufficient price can get the supply.
Xiao Heng should have gone there for the purpose of "Anyuan" trade.
He stayed there for a month, and when he came back, he brought more than 400 Anyuan.
Four hundred...
Li Zhen recalled the number of capable people in Yuzhou at the beginning. The number of B-level people was about thirty-three.
Four hundred were only the consumption of these people in a year. In the subsequent records, Xiao Heng did not go to Siberia again. There was no record of Yuzhou's official trade with Siberia in the information.
This means that those thirty-three B-level Bs have never used Anyuan again after 2019.
There are two possibilities. One is that all of those people die. Two is that all of those people have advanced to level *.
Obviously both possibilities are very small.
Then... Li Zhen remembered the dozen "disciples" who used their spatial power to imprison themselves. If those people were transformed into disciples...
This means that the change happened after Xiao Heng went to Siberia.
He encountered something in Siberia and was transformed into a disciple.
He subconsciously took a breath of cold air. If the worst thoughts... the mastermind behind the scenes was hidden in Siberia. If everyone who went there encountered the same thing as Xiao Heng... How many guys are like him who look like humans but are actually "disciples"?!
He just wished that he was thinking too much - he wished that the other party had already used some method, such as the prophet, to predict that he would land in Yuzhou, and then he transformed Xiao Heng in a targeted manner.
Xiao Heng did not attend the meeting alone, he also brought guards. Those guards were the thirty-three B-levels.
Li Zhen opened his eyes and looked around the room, and remembered Xiao Heng's attitude when he was fighting with him.
That guy simply wanted to kill him by himself.
Li Zhen already knows the reason why Xiao Heng wanted to do that.
Then there is another problem. He should know that he would be injured - maybe he didn't expect he would die, only know that he would be injured. If it were Li Zhen, he would take care of the place in advance - to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation and collect some information. But at the moment, Xiao Heng still left so many clues, and he inferred a lot of things from these clues.
For example, that person is in Siberia.
He laughed angrily. According to Xiao Heng's actions - he could think it was that person's idea - the current situation could not be more obvious.
The other party doesn't care...
Just like before, he didn't care about testing and teasing himself at the cost of a Xiao Heng or an actual control area Yuzhou, he doesn't care about letting himself know his hiding place.
Everything that happened from his landing to now is like a game, a declaration of war.
The other party was telling himself...he was there.
So cunning, vicious, and confident.
He took a deep breath, held the Longinus gun that he had been with him from beginning to end, and whispered.
This is not a kind of species... This is obviously the arrogant human style!
He stood up angrily and walked indoors, realizing that another question he wanted to figure out had no clue from beginning to end - those four little girls, no matter how they looked, they looked like Kyukikigao... What did they come from? Are they really cloned? It was also created by the person from Siberia?
But it was already late at night. Even if he wanted to contact Yanjing, he had to wait until dawn. He had to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart and calm himself down.
Calm down…and there is more.
There is another big drama for him to perform. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
