The woman finally closed her eyes and slumped down.
Xiao Lingyue helped the unconscious woman lie down, then stood up with a deep thought.
Zhan Beihan looked at her sideways: "After asking for a long time, what result did you get?"
"I think she didn't lie. She really saw it and gave us a very important clue."
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes slightly.
"The black and faceless ghosts should be people wearing cloaks to hide their faces. Those people tied up in a string with chains or ropes are definitely not ghosts who want to be reincarnated, but are kidnapped up the mountain by bandits and then disappear.
Missing caravans or people!"
Zhan Beihan was noncommittal: "What else?"
"Someone drove these people up the mountain and never came down again. In her fantasy, these people were reincarnated. But in fact, they were all alive. If they hadn't died on the top of the mountain, they would have died.
It can only be that he is locked up somewhere else."
Xiao Lingyue looked at Zhan Beihan: "What do you think a group of bandits who kill people and sell goods and only want money arrest so many people for no reason?"
Zhan Beihan's eyes flashed.
"I can understand if only women were kidnapped, but you heard what she just said. When the bandits looted the village, they only killed the old people, but took away the men, women, and children."
Xiao Lingyue said coldly: "Women use it to vent and enjoy themselves, but what do men and children do?"
No matter how cruel these bandits are, they can't just capture people and kill them.
What's more, they arrested a lot of people.
As far as Xiao Lingyue saw in the cottage tonight, the number of bandits was only about a hundred, which was not too many.
This number of people is consistent with the size of the village.
In other words, this bandit village can only accommodate about a hundred people, and if there are more, there will be no place to live.
However, the number of innocent people who were kidnapped by the bandits on the mountain was far more than a hundred, which exceeded the number of the bandits themselves.
Just in a village of middle-aged women, there are at least dozens of young adults.
This was only three years ago.
In the past three years, these bandits must have looted other villages. In addition, they usually rob caravans and go down the mountain to "do business" from time to time. At least hundreds, or even hundreds, of innocent people have been captured.
!
Where have all these people gone?
If the bandits take them up the mountain, they are just killing people for fun.
Now, the whole village should be littered with corpses, and it can't be as "clean" as it is now.
And the most important point.
Xiao Lingyue and Zhan Beihan both knew that these bandits were colluding with Nanyan assassins.
But until now, all they have seen is a cruel and vicious bandit den, without anything related to the Nanyan assassins.
Not only that, the telescope from Dong Qi that Xiao Lingyue discovered also came from nowhere.
There are no traces of any clues.
Behind the many doubts, there must be some important inside story that they haven't discovered yet.
Zhan Beihan narrowed his eyes slightly and uttered two words coldly: "Iron mine!"
"What?" Xiao Lingyue was stunned.
"Do you still remember what Hanhan told you, that he overheard what the Nanyan assassin said? The two words iron ore and transfer were mentioned in it," Zhan Bei said coldly.
Xiao Lingyue was startled, and a flash of lightning flashed in her mind.
Iron mine, Nanyan.
The big brother mentioned by the bandits.
And the "big business" that big brother is doing...
Xiao Lingyue blurted out: "You mean, the 'big business' those bandits call is trading iron ore with Nanyan?" Hot 『』 This chapter has been completed!
