Chapter 433 is like sitting on pins and needles "How about the result of the check?"
Du Weiwei held a cup of tea in his hand and tasted it slowly.
Standing in front of her desk was an officer who was no more than thirty years old, of medium stature, short hair, and very mediocre facial features, belonging to the type that could not be found if thrown into the sea of people, but there was a faint sense of ability between his eyebrows.
As he spoke, Du Weiwei pointed to the officer, and said with a smile to Dixon and Captain Hook, who were also sitting not far from the hall and accompanying him to drink tea: "This is my military adjutant, Lowe." ” Although he is only an adjutant, he can serve as the person next to Du Weiwei, and he is definitely a confidant.
Dixon and Hook glanced at each other, and when they returned to the officer named Lowe, their eyes showed a bit of attention.
"Lovey, tell me about the results of the investigation."
Du Weiwei's tone was very calm: "There is no need to be obscure.
Mr.
Dixon is a magician and very knowledgeable, and perhaps his knowledge can help us in some way. ” "Yes" Lowe gave a military salute in a proper manner, nodded slightly at Dixon and Hook, and nodded slightly.
The two guys hurriedly put down the hot teacups in their hands and returned the salute.
Lowe was not in a hurry, picked up a booklet tucked under his armpit and held it in his hand, opened it, and slowly began to report in a slow tone: "We found a total of 137 corpses, in addition to the No. 1 burial site, and later found the No. 2 burial site at a distance of about 200 meters around the area.
A total of one hundred and thirty-seven corpses.
All males.
From the physical examination, it was judged that he was a professional soldier.
And it's cavalry. ” "Oh" Dixon couldn't help but ask, "Why do you judge like that?"
Lowe raised his head and glanced at Dixon, and after receiving Du Weiwei's nod, he replied one by one: "The muscle anatomy of the inner thighs of the deceased's corpses, as well as the roughness of the skin, and the degree of wear and tear on the inside of their leg pants, can all tell that the deceased should have had a long-term habit of riding horses before his death." ” "Okay.
When I didn't say it.
Dixon shrank his head.
Luo Wei continued: "Everyone's underwear is the same style and texture, it can be judged that these people were soldiers in their lives, and only in a highly disciplined force like the army, can there be such underwear of the same standard.
In addition, several clues were uncovered from the investigation. ” Du was slightly visibly shocked.
She took a slow sip of tea and whispered, "What clues to continue?"
"First, among these deceased, in addition to the fatal wounds, many of them were found with some scars of varying degrees, and the scars were all old wounds.
Old wounds.
So we judged that these people were not only soldiers in their lives.
And it should be a soldier who has really experienced the battle array, because the empire is generally in a peaceful state at present, even many main armies have not experienced real war, although the training is strict on weekdays, the intensity will never be too great, and it will not cause scars such as swords and other sharp weapons on the personnel.
These people have so many old scars on their bodies, and they are obviously on the battlefield.
Throughout the armies of the empire.
Only the Storm Legion in the north, which has long been stationed on the Kaspersky Line on the northern border. will occasionally have skirmishes with orcs.
Or the Whip of Thor, as the most well-trained mobile standing army in the Empire, the Whip of Thor is often deployed to carry out some small-scale military tasks in some places, such as suppressing bandits, quelling small-scale mutinies and rebellions, and even pulling to the grasslands for training and the imperial capital nine months ago. ” At the end, the officer's tone paused slightly, and he looked up at the duchess in front of him.
Du nodded slightly, and remained silent: "Go on" "Second, judging from the degree of decomposition of the corpses, the time of death of these people probably did not exceed fifteen days, which means that the time of their death should have been shortly before the outbreak of the rebellion in the Northwest Independent Division.
In the same way, we found the bodies of soldiers who were killed due to infighting when the Northwest Independent Division rebelled, and compared them with these bodies that were dug up outside the border, it is clear that these bodies were more decomposed, so we judged that these people's deaths preceded the rebellion of the Northwest Independent Division. ” "Thirdly, we compared the fabric of the underwear on the deceased with the military uniform in stock.
In the logistics battalion of the Northwest Independent Division, a large number of military training uniforms and military underwear are stored.
According to the inventory, we have counted out a total of nine batches of cloth for the clothes in reserve, that is to say, the Tulip Family Workshop has produced a total of nine batches of fabrics from two years ago to today, and there are reserves in the logistics warehouse of the Northwest Independent Division.
We took samples from nine batches separately and compared them with the underwear fabrics on the deceased's body, and none of them matched.
The conclusion is: either the fabrics were produced by the Tulip Family Workshop, but it was earlier than two years ago, but we don't think it's very likely.
Either these military fabrics were not produced in the Tulip Family Workshop, after all, this kind of military cloth had been licensed by the family to other merchants in the empire many years ago to make similar products.
In the future, we need to spend some time collecting different batches of stock fabrics from other merchant groups for comparison, so that it is possible to further determine the origin of the clothes and fabrics on the bodies of these deceased, so that it may be more likely to find out the origin of these people. ” "Good idea."
Du nodded slightly, expressing his recognition of Luo Wei's work: "Is there anything else?"
"Yes."
Lowe nodded: "The fourth point is an unexpected discovery.
Medical officers in the army took samples of the bodies of the deceased and performed autopsies.
Got some discoveries.
From the food debris left in the stomach pouch and intestines of the deceased, we found something. ” "Oh" "These people should have been to the Orc Kingdom.
Shortly after returning from the orc kingdom.
Because the food scraps found in their stomachs contain the remnants of food that are unique to the Orc Kingdom. ” Speaking of this, a serious officer actually smiled, glanced at the duchess, and then at the two guests beside him, and said with a faint smile: "In order not to affect the appetite of several people, I won't say what it is." ” After a pause, Lowe continued, "According to the location where the corpse appeared.

There should be two possibilities for these people to appear here: either they have just left the customs and are about to go to the orc kingdom.
Either they've completed some sort of mission from the Orc Kingdom and are returning.
Based on the results of our examination above, we are more inclined to the second possibility: these people should have been attacked and killed on the way back from the orc kingdom. ” Dixon and Hook both glanced at each other, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.
On the one hand, I didn't expect the Tulip family to be so carefully examined, and after the examination of the corpse, so many interesting clues were immediately obtained.
On the other hand, there is shock An imperial army would actually run to the orc kingdom in formation, what they went to do, what to do, what secret missions to perform, what unsightly things to do Although the Orc Kingdom and the Roland Empire have not been at war for many years.
But the hostile attitude still exists, at least the folk merchant groups may be able to come and go, but the orcs will never allow the army of the Roland Empire to drive into their territory How could these dead soldiers run to the territory of the orcs At this moment, Du Weiwei's expression was also gloomy.
It's getting weirder and weirder, and it's getting more and more shocking The army of the empire will actually have dealings with the orc kingdom Is it collusion or something else And Lowe.
But it's not finished yet "My lord, there is a fifth point" Du Weiwei was immediately shocked.
Staring at Lowe: "And go on" Luo Wei's body is straight, although this guy speaks slowly and meticulously, but his body and temperament are full of old-fashioned and rigorous military image, standing here and talking for a long time, his body does not shake at all.
"After the preliminary investigation, one of our biggest doubts at the moment is: these people died here.
Who the hell killed them. ” Luo Wei's face was old-fashioned, and he said slowly: "There are one hundred and thirty-seven dead.
Judging from the physical signs of the autopsy, everyone is strong and healthy.
And they should all have quite good combat power, and it can be seen from many places on their limbs, especially on their palms, that they should be personnel with strict military training and military skills.
From the physical examination, it can be seen that most people have different degrees of calluses on their palms, thumbs, tiger mouths, and thick joints, and should be good at knives, swords, spears and even bows and arrows.
Such a group of 137 people with good strength, who have undergone rigorous training, and even have experience in war, can say that it is an elite, and this evaluation should not be excessive.
And the one who can kill an elite team of one hundred and thirty-seven professional soldiers, then the one who does it We have made some calculations, based on the average combat power of the main division of the ordinary main battle standing army of the Roland Empire, if we want to eat an elite army of one hundred and thirty-seven people, and it is likely to be a cavalry unit equipped with war horses, then at least three battalions need to be dispatched, that is, the number of nine hundred people, it is possible to complete it. ” When Lowe said this, Dixon couldn't help but exclaim, "This seems a little wrong."
"Oh" Lowe looked unchanged and turned his head to look at Dixon: "Does Your Excellency Mage have any strange intentions?"
"More than one hundred and thirty soldiers, even if they are elite, can there be such a strong empire, the main battle army of the empire will not be so bad, it will take nine hundred people to clean them up" Luo Wei listened, but there was a faint disappointment in his eyes, and he frowned: "Your Excellency, the ratio I mentioned is an estimate based on the basis of total annihilation.
Indeed, with the strength of the Empire's main battle army, if it was just an ordinary defeat, then it might only take an equal number of elite cavalry to do it.
The difference in quantity is not too big.
But please understand that defeat and defeat are different concepts, and defeat and total annihilation are a huge difference.
If it were the cavalry of my Tulip family, to defeat these one hundred and thirty-seven elites, it might only take the same number as them to absolutely complete it, but if you want to destroy them completely, I mean.
After defeating the other side, we can also guarantee that we will kill all the other party, and if the other party does not let one run away, then the number of our personnel must not be less than 900 regular troops, which is already the lowest value we estimate, if it is a local garrison, I am afraid that at least 1,500 or more people will be needed to make it possible to leave all the 137 elite cavalry behind, and not one of them will run.
Because from a military point of view, if you want to completely annihilate the target.
The most common way to do this is to choose a location for an ambush, and it is necessary to have at least several times more troops than the opponent, and a well-organized encirclement requires a large number of men. ” Dixon couldn't help but interrupt Lowe again: "How can that Excellency be sure that the other party must be completely annihilated?"
Lowe glanced at Dixon and said lightly: "There are obvious traces of concealment from the burial place of the corpse, and in order to conceal the identity of the corpse, the armor was stripped off.
Weapons, badges, etc. can indicate traces of identity.
Judging from all these signs, the person who did this was trying to cover up the facts, whether it was killing people or hiding the news.
This approach is obvious, if not total annihilation, if the killed party has a chance to escape.
Then there is no need to do these things to cover up the traces anymore. ” Lowe's words make perfect sense.
But what made Dixon even more unhappy was the look in the young officer's eyes on him.
Although this guy didn't say anything.
But the look that was cast on him just now was very obvious, revealing a kind of Contempt for one's own IQ Dixon was very annoyed As a high-achieving student who graduated from the Academy of Magic, he is recognized as a genius of magic, so naturally he can't be a fool And a guy who can be recognized as the "shame of the academy" in the Academy of Magic, and has violated almost all the school rules since the establishment of the school, even if he is the first troublemaker in history, but at least everyone must admit it.
He's a very smart guy But now, he is actually despised naked But the officer, Lowe, only glanced at Dixon.
He turned his eyes back to Du Weiwei.
His expression was still serious and meticulous, and he continued steadily in his characteristic unhurried tone: "According to our judgment, to completely annihilate such an army and not let the other side run away, it is at least necessary to have a suitable ambush location, accurate time intelligence, and dispatch an army of more than 900 men.
Dispatching an army of 900 men at a time is already a very large-scale movement in the army.
In accordance with the regulations of military law, a transfer of this scale must be reported to the upper echelons of the military.
The movement of more than 1,000 troops involves logistics, military supplies, advance declaration of military marching routes, and so on.
I suggest following this clue to investigate.
However, I have a suspicion that perhaps the military operation itself has been covered up and is a private act. ” "Then here's the problem."
Du sneered slightly: "Looking at the army of the entire Roland Empire, there are only a few main battle legions that have the strength, courage and confidence to mobilize more than a thousand troops in private, and there are few people who have the ability to cover up the matter." ” "No more than ten, to be exact."
Lowe remained silent, and then he said something even more speechless: "You, Lord Duke, are also among them. ” Dixon couldn't help but laugh.
He suddenly realized that this guy named Lowe was actually quite interesting.
This guy should be the kind of guy who is typical of doing things and talking very old-fashioned.

In the end, the duchess was put on the list of suspects "The last clue is," Lowe said at the end, his tone seemed a little hesitant.
However, he only groaned slightly, and then said calmly: "Considering that the place where the body was buried was not too far from the Northwest Fortress, and that an army of more than 1,000 men was dispatched, the scale of such a battle to encircle and suppress an army of one hundred and thirty-seven men not far from the border could not be considered small.
Just under the nose of the Northwest Independent Division, there was a battle of such a scale, and I personally believe that it should be investigated from within the Northwest Independent Division first Even if the Northwest Independent Division is not the real culprit, at least someone should be in the know.
I suggest that the investigation begin with the cavalry scout battalion of the separate division.
Their routine overseas patrols should not be ignorant of this matter. ” When Lowe said this, he took a deep breath, and a very, very solemn expression finally appeared on this guy's face: "When it comes to the internal investigations of the family army, this is the internal affairs of the army, and if these investigations are to be carried out, Lord Duke, I need your authorization to continue this work."
Du hesitated slightly.
After all, the Northwest Independent Division has just set things right, and the morale of the army has not yet completely stabilized.
Originally, he was accused of being a rebel, but now many people in the army are very worried, afraid that they will settle accounts after the fall and pursue them afterwards If we conduct a large-scale internal affairs investigation in the military at this time, it will cause turmoil in the morale of the military by any chance However, Du Weiwei still had a decision after all, and after a little hesitation, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will give you the authorization to pass on my order, all the personnel of the Scout Brigade of the Northwest Independent Division will move to the south of the fortress, transfer the independent military camp to station, and the whole army will temporarily cancel all vacations and outings, restrain manpower, and wait for investigation in the battalion."
Before the investigation is over, the Scout Cavalry Brigade cancels all military missions and cancels all permission to go out" When Du Weiwei was talking, Luo Wei quickly took out a pen, turned a page on the booklet in his hand, and then recorded Du Weiwei's password.
Finally, he handed the password to Du Weiwei, who glanced at it and signed his name underneath.
Luo Wei straightened his body, gave a military salute, picked up the warrant with Du Weiwei's signature, turned around, did not squint, and strode out There was silence in the hall again.
Dixon and Hook also realized that this matter was only getting more and more serious, and they didn't know what more shocking inside story was involved, so they were both a little uncomfortable.
"Both."
Du Weiwei seemed to be a little more relaxed, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the edge of the teacup on the table, and smiled slightly: "What do you think of this guy?"
belch That's the problem Dixon looked at Hook, this time it was Captain Hook who spoke, he put down the teacup, stood up, and said with a straight face: "Under the command of Lord Duke, they are naturally first-class talents. ” "Whether it's a talent or not, it's a matter of opinion.
But this guy has a very old-fashioned temperament, and he is meticulous in doing things, and he never goes wrong, and I hand over a lot of things to him, and I am very relieved. ” Dixon and Hook both resignedly echoed a few words.
At this time, Du Weiwei's tone suddenly changed: "It seems that the two of you have a good evaluation of Lowe so that in the future, when you deal with each other, you will definitely be very pleasant compared to everyone." ” henceforth Deal Dixon's eyes widened, and Hook looked at the duchess in a daze.
"I will not stay in the Northwest Fortress for long, in the future, I and your master still have a lot of business to do, and I plan to leave these matters to Lowe to deal with.
Well, you'll have a lot of opportunities to meet in the future, so you'll have to get closer to each other a lot."
Du was smiling slightly, but there was a deep meaning in her smile that made Dixon and Hook sit on pins and needles I published one of my old books on my prestige, this book was written a few years ago, and it was published directly and never posted on the Internet, this time as a benefit, it was sent out on my prestige for everyone to see.
