This is a conspiracy.
The reason why Vulture provides them with free information is very simple - once they follow this clue, they will eventually find the head of the Barossa Group, and he only needs to watch from the other side to achieve his goal.
It has to be said that intelligence dealers are cunning. They always hide in the shadows and enjoy others fighting to the death for the information they provide.
"This is good news."
Song Lan said with a positive and optimistic attitude, "At least it shows that the disappearance of Father Lieyang may have nothing to do with the coalition government."
He just said that at the level of the coalition government, it would be difficult to secretly escort someone back to the core area.
At least that would be difficult until they picked out the young men one by one.
Lu Xiang shook his phone and said, "I just checked and found that the farthest service range of the capital's hovercar can reach the second closest inn to the twelfth country, which is called Jianlong Town."
They passed through Jianlong Town when they came, but because they were busy on the road, they didn't stop much in the town.
"Call a cab."
Song Lan stretched himself. In fact, on the day of departure, he was mentally prepared that this trip might turn into a business trip. In his impression, Jianlong Town was the first place they encountered after leaving the desert area. It is a small town, and the construction of the town is much better than those stations near District 17.
Although it is not a steel forest like the capital, the facilities are all available, and the residents of the town are happy and happy. Looking down from the car window, it feels quite warm.
The speed of the hover car was much faster than that of the truck. In less than half an hour, the car landed at the entrance of the town.
After getting off the car, the two went straight to the bar mentioned by the vulture.
There is only one bar in this town, and even if the other party didn't mention it by name, it's very easy to find.
It was just afternoon, and the bar hadn't opened yet. When we entered, it was empty, with only the boss sorting out the utensils.
"Sorry, we are not open yet."
The boss put down the bottle of wine in his hand, took a deep look at the two of them, opened one of the drawers, and held a revolver in his right hand.
In his opinion, these two uninvited guests could only be described as suspicious. They wore caps, sunglasses and masks. This is how criminals or killers usually dress to hide their identity.
"We came from the capital."
"Just stand there and don't come over."
The boss said warily.
"We are investigating Vice Captain Eric."
Hearing Eric's name, he was obviously startled and lowered his voice unconsciously, "Are you his colleagues?"
"You can think of it, he's missing and we're worried about him."
"Close the door and come in."
After hesitating for a moment, the boss spoke. He pushed the drawer back, quickly came to the bar door, stuck his head out and looked outside, then closed the door, and after setting some settings on the electronic screen next to the door, the bar A "Closed" sign was displayed outside the door.
Vulture said that Vice Captain Eric had a close relationship with the bar owner in Jianlong Town, and he would come here to have a drink every time he passed by the town.
Therefore, Lu Xiang felt that directly throwing out Eric's name might make the other party let down their guard.
Judging from the bar owner's reaction, it seems likely that he had a premonition that Vice Captain Eric would disappear. It was probably because the bar owner saw some ominous signs when Eric passed by here last time.
That would have been a week ago.
Vice Captain Eric passed through Jianlong Town while performing a mission alone.
"Eric hasn't gone back yet?"
The boss silently mixed drinks for the two of them. He seemed to be trying to adjust his mood in this way so that his tone and voice would not sound too excited.
Even so, Lu Xiang could still hear the boss's voice trembling.
This is not fear, but a reaction when some unknown premonition is confirmed.
This is a knowing question.
In fact, the boss also expected this deep in his heart. Based on his understanding of Eric, when the young man returned from completing his mission, he would come to him for a drink again.
But Eric didn't come, but two people who seemed to be his colleagues came.
"According to the department's dash cam, he had been here a week ago, and this is where he last sent a signal."
Lu Xiang does not need to deliberately disguise herself. Her daily work includes investigating disappearances and dealing with witnesses, which is also one of her basic skills.
"That night, there was something unusual about Eric."
After finishing the bartending, the bar owner pushed the glass to the two of them, and he took a sip first. The burning sensation in his throat helped him suppress his mood at the moment, "I watched that child grow up, he If there's anything wrong, I can tell at a glance..."
Then, the bar owner told a rather old story.
Eric was born in Jianlong Town. His father was the sheriff of Jianlong Town. He originally had a very happy family. However, when he was 11 years old, the gold rush came.
Small towns like Jianlong Town that lacked the ability to protect themselves became the favorite places for predators to recover. In order to fight against the predators, Eric's father organized a security team and launched a desperate battle with the predators.
The battle did not last long and ended with the annihilation of the Self-Defense Forces. The number and equipment of the marauders were far beyond what the small town sheriff could compare with.
Then Jianlong Town ushered in the darkest days. They hung the head of the dead sheriff in the square in the center of the town, and launched a series of retaliatory actions against all the family members who had participated in the security team. At that time, Eric finally escaped by hiding in the bar owner's house.
When he was 17 years old, Eric, as a young man from a small town working in a bar, was appreciated by the then captain of the Border Law Enforcement External Crime Division for actively assisting the law enforcement officers of the Twelfth Country to uncover a human trafficking case, and was awarded the title of An opportunity to join the Enforcers.
Over the next nearly ten years, Eric worked diligently and gradually emerged in the field of cybercrime. Finally, under the strong recommendation of the border law enforcement department, he was transferred to the capital to work in cyber security.
"Demon Town Museum"
"There has always been a secret hidden in Eric's heart. Do you know why he specializes in cybercrime?"
"Because that's the place closest to criminals."
Lu Xiang's answer made the bartender obviously stunned. He didn't expect that the other party actually gave the correct answer.
Lu Xiang vaguely guessed the direction of things and the reason why Eric worked so hard to become a law enforcer.
In 2166, the work of the Network Security Department is no longer limited to traditional fraud and Internet fraud. Their main daily work is to organize file files and remotely monitor the movements of criminals. Once a repeat offender appears, network security Coe was definitely the first to know.
"That kid Eric has been investigating something, a man with a cross-shaped scar on the back of his neck."
The bar owner said, "That night a week ago, he was very excited when he came to my place and drank several times more than usual."
