Chapter 47 The Avonigarda Incident <TOC> Chapter 49 Friendship
Translator: SumTLMan
Within the inn, Li Mu leaned against the sofa in the room and read the day’s newspaper. The 《Avonigarda Daily》 was filled with lies about the incident that occurred at Third Street on Fifth Avenue yesterday.
According to the description in the newspaper, the Public Security Bureau and the security forces had achieved a great victory and successfully repelled more than one hundred rioters, saving the hostages.
He flipped a few pages, tossing the newspaper that praised the governor to the table, and then pulled out a copy of the 《East City Express》, a newspaper focused on news in the East City area and dedicated to reporting on gossip news.
A piece of news in the newspaper caught his attention.
《Famous Xia Merchant Falls to Death, His Daughter’s Whereabouts Unknown》
He briefly scanned the article. The wealthy merchant who fell to death or was pushed to death operated a small thermal power plant that supplied electricity to the Summer settlement.
Silently, Li Mu wrote down this event and picked up the scissors, cutting out all the information about prices in the newspaper. The trade of bulk commodities was very complicated, and it was a big question how to quietly put the products from the Exiled Realm into the trading market.
Li Mei sat next to him, crunching on a small plate of watermelon seeds and focused on watching the boring show on TV.
“Crack!”
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Shen Luoyan walked in. For her, a transcendent awakened who had mastered the control system of psychic energy, ordinary mechanical locks were no different from non-existent.
Li Mu put down the newspaper in his hand.
“The reason I changed rooms is for some privacy,” Li Mu said.
Shen Luoyan looked at Li Mei who was watching TV foolishly, pulled up a chair and sat down.
“Do you know about the big case in Avonigarda yesterday?”
“Of course I know,” Li Mu pulled out the 《Avonigarda Daily》 and read: “Captain Okaba, under the command of Vice-chief Rajaral, promptly led the security forces to strike the rioters, control the scene, and rescue the hostages.”
“This is fake. Now Okaba’s body has already been cremated,” Shen Luoyan said.
Shen Luoyan sneered and then spoke.
“The attackers of the security force may have only been two people, four shots were fired from a shooting point three thousand meters away, and each shot accurately hit its target. All the security personnel on the scene hid behind cover and did not dare to move, even the sniper didn’t know when they left.”
Such a terrifying sniper in the complex terrain of Avonigarda City possesses an incredibly destructive force.
As far as she knew, even including the federal army, the security contractor, and the lone rangers in the wilderness, there was no such formidable sniper in the Avonigarda Province.
“For an awakened belonging to the control system, is it difficult to achieve such accuracy in sniping?”
Li Mu asked with some doubts. He always thought that after the awakened of the control system enhanced the performance of firearms, long-distance sniping was not difficult.
“The control system can only enhance the performance of firearms, but after the bullet is fired, it will also be affected by factors such as wind speed, the earth’s rotational deviation, humidity, and so on. To hit every shot at a three-kilometer distance, the sniper must have mastered a very powerful holy relic.”
Shen Luoyan shook her head.
“Now we are going to the security agency to receive equipment, and then go to take up our post in the Orissa jurisdiction. The situation in Avonigarda City is too chaotic now, Rajaral is highly likely to have hired assassins to kill you.”
Shen Luoyan’s expression was somewhat serious.
In the face of a sniper capable of super long-range sniping, even she does not have a good method. They can only be passively beaten and cannot find a chance to counterattack.
“Didn’t the security agency investigate that bar? Why did the attackers attack a bar?”
Li Mu pointed to the description in the newspaper and said.
“That bar belongs to a gang leader named Nomu, and is the weapon source for many marauders and bandits. It’s simple black eating black.”
Shen Luoyan said, her authority can obtain many messages that ordinary people cannot.
“Since they have already looted Nomu and have successfully left, why do they still have hostages?”
Li Mu said with his chin supported.
“In fact, there are no hostages, just the security personnel on the scene who attempted to obtain information about the attackers from the witnesses and were sniped.”
Shen Luoyan took out a photo and placed it on the table. It was a woman with intellectual disabilities, bound and shackled to a dirty bed.
“This is their masterpiece, there were about fifty female slaves and young children imprisoned by Nomu at the time, they should have witnessed the attackers.”
“It seems that this Nomu is also a part-time human trafficking business.”
Shen Luoyan first hesitated, then spoke.
“No… no! The slaves in Nomu’s hands have not appeared in the market, otherwise there would be no wind leaked. All the female slaves he received were secretly transferred.”
There is an underground slave market in Avonigarda City that is known to everyone, where various common people slaves, mutated creatures, and even awakeners are sold. If you are willing to spend a lot of money, you can even buy descenders.
The underground slave market strictly prohibits slave trading in other places in Avonigarda City, their mobility is much stronger than that of the security agency. According to Shen Luoyan’s impression, Nomu has never sold slaves in the underground slave market.
Even if he sold the slaves to others, it is impossible that no news would leak out.
“This information is very valuable, your sense of smell is very sharp!”
Shen Luoyan said excitedly.
“Those who are capable of receiving a large number of slaves, whether it be the descenders or the cult, by following this line of inquiry, one will definitely uncover something.”
She stood up, reminded Li Mu not to forget to go to the security agency to collect equipment, and quickly left.
“What are you intentionally guiding her to investigate in Nomu?”
Li Mei shifted her attention away from the TV and said with a sneer.
“I’m just giving her something to do, so she doesn’t pester us all day long.”
Li Mu placed the ledger he had found from Nomu on the table and spoke.
“And we have to find an opportunity to kill Rajaral. If Rajaral is dead, the Shen family, who is currently investigating Nomu line, will be the most suspicious murderer. If I were the governor, I would have good reason to suspect that the Shen family found out something and then chose to act.”
He was thoroughly filled with a desire to kill after he found out that Rajaral had hired a killer. It would be better to send such a madman to the Source Ocean as soon as possible.
“When will we act?!”
Li Mei rubbed her hands together.
“Wait until I take up my post in the Orissa jurisdiction, in this way, no one will suspect us at all.”
Li Mu spoke after flipping through the ledger that he had read countless times, every word on it represented the lives of ten people.
