Chapter 118: Finding People(1/2)

Hearing Lehman's words, Jiang Baimian, wearing a mask, smiled:

"It's a coincidence."

After a pause, she added:

"I thought your commission was related to 'United Industry' and we needed to go somewhere else."

Seeing this mysterious team of ruins hunters showing kindness, Lehman smiled and said:

“If you want, I also have many commissions related to ‘United Industry’.”

Shang Jianyao asked excitedly:

“What are there?”

Isn't this a polite statement... Lehman was speechless for a moment.

He has always believed that good skills are not as good as good relationships when it comes to "United Industry".

Jiang Baimian smiled secretly, and while directing Long Yuehong to continue helping Bai Chen cook, he said to Lehman:

"Tell me about your commission, but we may not accept it."

Huh...Lehman breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's right. When I was an employee of a military-industrial enterprise in United Industry, I was rescued by a ruin hunter.

"His name is Lars, he is a little younger than me, has a good marksmanship, outstanding fighting skills, and is a 'senior hunter'.

"Later, we often met. He helped me a lot, and I also gave him a lot of commissions to make him live a pretty good life..."

After briefly talking about the past, Lehman finally said:

"Anyway, he is my best friend."

"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Long Yuehong, who helped Bai Chen cook, also raised her ears.

This story sounds interesting.

Lehman's expression slowly became heavier:

“He is missing.

"About a year ago, he disappeared at Redstone."

"Have he said anything to you before he disappeared?" The person who asked this question was not Jiang Baimian, but Shang Jianyao who held his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other.

He was only one pipe away from him to simulate the famous detective in a radio drama.

Lehman breathed slowly:

“The gathering point where he was born was attacked, and the only sister he was still alive was taken away and became a slave.

“He has been pursuing his sister’s whereabouts, and one day he was happy to tell me that he found clues to confirm that his sister was sold to the Redstone Collection and that it is likely that she has become a servant of the ‘Ark Underground’.

"I think it's not too difficult to redeem a person from the 'Ark of the Underground', so I told him that as long as he can confirm that his sister is there, I can fund him a sum of supplies and let him complete the transaction.

“He quickly set out to Redstone, and I had a friend telling me that he did come, but he never showed up again in a few days.

"He just disappeared."

Speaking of the latter, Lehman's tone was very depressed.

"Do you suspect his disappearance is related to the 'underground ark'?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"Maybe he had a conflict with some people in Hongshiji, and was quietly killed, tied up with stones, and sank into the lake." Shang Jianyao provided another possibility.

On the dust, except for several major forces, order and chaos coexist, and killing and robbery are often staged.

Lehman shook his head:

"In other settlements, this may happen, but you also know that all the townspeople like to hide, without business entanglements, it is difficult for outsiders to have conflicts with them. Well, I also asked Lars to take the letter I wrote to find a few of my friends and ask for care."

"For example, Herveg?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.

"Yes." Lehman did not deny it.

Before Hervig died, he was Lehman's main partner in Redstone Collection, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a friend.

Shang Jianyao was immediately excited:

“Will it be Herveg?

"Herveg's wife has a very good relationship with him. Lars lives with their house and is a very capable hunter. Will the two of them soon have emotional entanglements and are discovered by Herveg and killed them in anger?"

What are the radio dramas and radio stories in the company? Well, why is this story so familiar? Based on the fact that Weiler had an affair with his boss’ wife and was knocked out on the spot, it combines Bishop Renato’s “heartless disease” and Herveg died of fear in the ventilation duct? Jiang Baimian gradually figured out the source of Shang Jianyao’s inspiration.

Lehman shook his head without hesitation:

"impossible."

"What evidence do you have?" Shang Jianyao said he could not accept it.

Lehman hesitated for a moment and held his hands together:

"He couldn't have an affair with Theresa because he liked men."

This... Jiang Baimian looked at the arms dealer in front of him, gave Shang Jianyao a look, telling him not to continue to "reason", and said, "I understand, it was Lars and Herveg who had an affair, who was discovered by Teresa, who was angry and asked Bishop Renato to help kill the male third party."

Not to mention the confusion and complexity of this story, it will definitely cause emotional harm to Lehman.

Shang Jianyao replied with regretful eyes and closed his mouth.

Jiang Baimian asked instead:

"Then did you find any clues later?"

Lehman slowed down for a few seconds before he said:

"I found out that he had visited the Visa Trading Company and met a butler in Dimarco, whose housekeeper was named Ulrich.

"There is no other clue except this. I mobilized people and asked many people from the Redstone Collection to help me check the "underground ark" related, but I didn't get much.

"I even went to Ulrich myself, but he said that after Lars knew that his sister had died of illness, he disappeared. Yes, Lars' sister did enter the 'underground ark' and became a servant inside, but died in a few months."

Death due to illness? Jiang Baimian suddenly thought of what Viere said before:

Dimarco is very cruel and likes to take his servants out of his anger and not take human lives seriously.

Lehman glanced at the woman wearing a beautiful monk's mask, and said carefully:

"Recently, I learned a news through Herveg.

“The ‘underground ark’ has an exit somewhere in Tieshan, and people often come in and out.”

Tieshan is the place where mountain monsters live to the north of the city ruins. On the other side of the Tieshan Mountains, there is a ruin with a relatively famous chaotic era called "Tieshan City".

This is consistent with the information provided by Viere... Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:

"How did Hervig know?"

Lehman did not mean to hide it for the deceased:

"He knew from Angelbas, who heard from the mountain monsters."

Yes, Angelabas and the mountain monsters have been trading secretly... Wait, "Ark Underground" has an exit somewhere in Tieshan... There is definitely not far from where the mountain monsters live. If Dimarco wants to sell the information of Hongshiji, he can do it without knowing it... Jiang Baimian quickly stringed up the matter.

"Where is it?" she asked.

Lehman took out a map drawn by hand, pointed to the red circle above and said:

"here."

He immediately described what the signs on the map represent, so that the "Qianbai Team" could accurately find the destination.

After talking about this, Lehman took out another photo:

"This was taken not long before Lars disappeared."

Jiang Baimian took the photo, glanced at it, and found that Lars was a very masculine young man.

He has short flax-colored hair, a straight nose bridge, light blue eyes, and a shallow beard around his mouth. His biggest feature is that there is a small cyan birthmark on his forehead.

As for height, it doesn't seem to be very good from the photos.

After Jiang Baimian finished looking at the photos, Lehman thought about it and said:

"I don't ask you to agree to me now. I just hope that you will pay attention to me during the investigation of the "Ark Underground".

"If you can find his whereabouts or related clues, you can come to me for compensation at any time."

He is very good at being a human being... Well, otherwise he wouldn't be an arms businessman with a rich fortune... The only problem is that he only uses this kind of contemplation and lowering attitude to those who are better than him... Jiang Baimian nodded gently:

"We will help you pay attention."

"What kind of reward can you give?" Shang Jianyao interrupted.

This time, Jiang Baimian did not glar at him because this was what she wanted to ask.

Lehman smiled a little:

“For example, newer exoskeleton devices, but this may take about a year to get it.
