"Leave it to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Your monitoring of material flow will easily attract attention. Leave it to the Chamber of Commerce and no one will be suspicious." Xingqiu said directly.

If the government monitors the flow of materials, people will definitely notice it.

But if it is an investigation by the Chamber of Commerce, it is a business behavior and will not attract the attention of special personnel.

Qin nodded to Xingqiu: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is also for our people." Xingqiu did not forget that Feiyun Chamber of Commerce also had people kidnapped. If it was a biological experiment, those people would be in danger.

Then, everyone started talking again, and many plans were put forward.

Diluc remained silent.

He did not have a good relationship with the Knights.

Qin's eyes fell on him: "Senior Diluc, do you have anything to say?"

Diluc shook his head: "The plan is very good, implement it as soon as possible, I will investigate alone..."

was saying,

The door to the conference room suddenly opened: "Acting Captain, it's not good, there is another kidnapping case."

"What?" Qin stood up immediately.

The others also stood up in disbelief.

It's daytime now, so carrying out kidnappings during the day is a bit too arrogant, isn't it?

Moreover, the Knights have stepped up their patrols in the past few days.

This is a crime committed against the wind.

For a moment, everyone in the Knights was angered.

"Three hours ago, a truck was found in the wild. The owner of the truck disappeared. There were no signs of fighting around, which is consistent with the scene investigation of the previous kidnapping case." Knight Report reported.

Qin said with a cold face: "Has the identity of the owner of the cargo been investigated?"

The knight shook his head: "I haven't found anything, but the goods on the truck are not missing. There are many Liyue products among them. They should be small businessmen from Liyue."

Hearing this,

Xingqiu immediately said: "Captain Qin, although I trust the Knights very much, if this matter remains unresolved, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will definitely report it to Qixing."

Qin Yin gritted her teeth: "Don't worry, Your Excellency Xingqiu, you have also seen it. Now we have some clues, and we will detect it as soon as possible."

Xingqiu nodded, then glanced at Diluc.

Diluc said: "Let's do this. I will take Mr. Xingqiu and Mr. Chongyun together to see the scene of the crime. Qin, you and everyone in the Knights will arrange the plan as soon as possible."

Qin glanced at Diluc gratefully: "Okay, thank you, senior."

Soon, everyone in the conference room was busy.

Xingqiu and Chongyun followed Diluc to the latest crime location.

of course,

At an angle invisible to ordinary people, under the distortion of light, Wang Daoyi was following behind them.

A few people jogged all the way and soon arrived at the address in the message.

An ordinary path,

A truck was abandoned on the side of the road. The tarpaulin covering it was not removed, but the owner of the truck was nowhere to be seen.

"The footprints around." Diluc lowered his head to check, and then his face darkened, "The footprints are all destroyed, they are all the footprints of the knights."

This is why Diluc has always looked down on the Knight of the West Wind.

Especially after the Grand Commander took away most of the elites,

The professionalism of the Knights of the West Wind is beyond recognition.

Chongyun also lowered his head and looked at it: "The footprints are very new, no more than three hours old. In addition, there are no signs of fighting. The owner of the goods was directly robbed. The intervention of elemental power or other means cannot be ruled out."

"The goods are porcelain and some silk. They are indeed merchants from Liyue. There are marks on the silk. We can check later to see if we can find the identity of the victim." Xingqiu also checked the truck.

"Although I don't like the Knights, there really is no more information here." Diluc looked gloomy.

"Daoyi, did you find anything?" Xingqiu asked.

Although he couldn't see Wang Daoyi, he knew Wang Daoyi was here.

"A little."

The light was slightly distorted, and a hazy figure emerged, very blurry, and the face could not be seen.

In order to prevent the perpetrator from seeing Wang Daoyi and frightening away the mastermind behind the scenes,

Wang Daoyi will avoid appearing in his true form and try to use blurry projections.

In this way, even if someone sees it, they will not contact Wang Daoyi immediately.

"The truck came from the direction of Liyue and was not traveling very fast. You can see that the rut marks are very even. Therefore, the owner of the cargo did not notice the attack and made no move to escape.

Except for the footprints of the Knights, there are no more footprints of other people around.

But I observed that there seemed to be traces on the rocks not far away,

The perpetrator launched a sneak attack on the cargo owner from a distance, directly incapacitating the cargo owner, and then took the cargo owner away in some way. "

The hazy figure pointed to a large rock in the distance.

Diluc immediately walked over and checked.

Then he walked back and nodded to everyone: "The traces have been erased, but you can still tell that some kind of crossbow was set up. It's not big. The crossbow arrows used should not be lethal. They may be coated with poison or something." potion."

"So, the process of committing the crime should be that someone was lying in wait here until someone came in, then he launched an attack and then took the person away." Wang Daoyi said.

Xingqiu frowned slightly: "What are the characteristics of their attack?"

Diluc shook his head: "This is a business road. Generally, only businessmen traveling to and from Liyue will go there. They are targeted attacks."

"Aiming at Liyue?" Xingqiu and Chongyun looked at each other, and both saw the unswerving look in the other's eyes.

"It's not necessarily targeting Liyue. It's just that Liyue and Mondstadt have the largest land caravans and are the least likely to attract attention. If they attack maritime merchants, the noise will definitely be bigger." Wang Daoyi didn't think that the other party was targeting Liyue. Maybe they were simply looking for someone to attack who was not easy to find.

It is normal for Liyue merchants to stay away from home for ten and a half days when they come to Mondstadt to do business.

Moreover, most of the people they attacked were small businessmen, and no one contacted them when they disappeared.

But if you attack a big merchant or maritime merchant, it will be too easy to be discovered.

Xingqiu and Chongyun came to Mondstadt because people from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce were kidnapped.

The mechanism of large chambers of commerce determines their internal inspection agencies.

While these institutions are fighting corruption, they are also ensuring the personal safety of their employees.

"This is the only way for the Liyue Trade Road. If the other party has been setting up an ambush here, then their base should also be able to come here." Diluc has sufficient experience in dealing with such rats in the darkness.

"Do you have a map?" Xingqiu asked immediately.

Diluc smiled: "No need for a map, I remember everything."

Then he thought for a while and continued: "From here, to the west is the territory of Chenxi Winery. I don't think the other party dares to build a base on my territory, and to the east is Qingquan Town. We can go and ask the town later. Have you found any strange people online?

A little north of us is the Running Wolf Territory. It is impossible for the old wolf to watch the bad guys acting like monsters on his territory, so it can be ruled out for the time being.

Then to the south, after crossing several hills and a large plain, is the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain, probably close to Mianlong Valley, but there are people from the Lawrence family there. Although Lawrence and the people of Mondstadt have not completely reconciled, they It was impossible for Yora Lawrence to ignore the security issues in that area. "

"So, what we need to investigate next is Qingquan Town?" Xingqiu asked.

He couldn't wait to catch the murderer.

Diluc nodded and was about to speak,

I saw the blurry light and shadow move slightly, and looked into the distance: "Someone is coming, it seems to be the Knight of the West Wind."

After saying that, Wang Daoyi's light and shadow fluctuated and disappeared.

"Didn't the West Wind Knight go to investigate other aspects? Why did he come here?" Xingqiu was a little confused.

Diluc: "Maybe you have found some important clues, please let us know."

Sure enough, after a while, a West Wind Knight ran over: "Three people, three people..."

He was a little out of breath.

Xingqiu knew that Diluk didn't like the Knights, so he stepped forward and said, "Tell me slowly, Knight. What happened?"

The visitor took a breath, and then said: "A missing person has returned, and he pointed the finger at Lawrence."

Everyone was slightly shocked,

"Lawrence?"

"Yes, he said that he was kidnapped by Lawrence and managed to escape with great difficulty."

Xingqiu and Chongyun looked at each other, confused, and could only look at Diluc.

Diluc also frowned: "It's unlikely. The Lawrence family has been purged once by Yora Lawrence, and their main force has been sent to the grand leader. How can they still have the intention to kidnap?

Besides, although the Lawrence family does not have a good reputation, their methods are indeed good, especially after Yura came to power and promoted many young and promising people.

How could they possibly let a kidnapped man escape from their territory? "

Listening to Diluc's words, the knight who reported the news also nodded: "Captain Qin also said the same, but many civilians already know about this matter, and now public opinion is very unfavorable to Lawrence."

Xingqiu raised an eyebrow: "Is this... trying to divert the Knights' attention?"

He smelled a different smell from this matter.

Diluc also nodded: "It is very possible that provoking conflicts between the people and Lawrence is a very insidious method. It seems that the actions of the Knights have made the mastermind nervous."

The Laurence family left Mondstadt under the leadership of Yula, and for the first time they admitted their mistakes to the Knights.

But that doesn’t mean everyone has forgiven Lawrence;

If it were revealed at this time that Lawrence had kidnapped a foreign businessman,

Then, the trust that Yura had finally built up would collapse in an instant.

The most important thing is that this is not Lawrence's fault, so Lawrence cannot be regressing.

Both sides will definitely be at war with each other.

"Wait a minute." Chongyun suddenly said, "If the other party can put the kidnapped personnel at Lawrence's station, then does it mean that their base is not far from Lawrence's station? After all, one person needs to be transported to another It’s not an easy thing to do in this place.”

Xingqiu and Diluc's eyes lit up.

What Chongyun said makes perfect sense.

Generally speaking, if a person carries another person on his back and walks on the road, he will definitely attract more attention than if a person walks normally.

It would be even more eye-catching if the person being carried or transported was still unconscious.

And now while the Knights are still searching around, a kidnapped person appears at Lawrence's station.

Whether the person is placed inside or outside the station, it shows that the kidnapper's real station cannot be too far away from Lawrence's station.

"Go to the snowy mountains to investigate?"

"Go to the snowy mountains to investigate!"

Xingqiu and Diluc spoke together.

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little tacit understanding.

Then Diluc looked at the knight who reported the news: "Please go back and tell the acting captain that we have new clues. In addition, ask her to send someone to inform the Lawrence family and cooperate with our investigation. Also tell the citizens of Mondstadt that the Knights An investigation into Lawrence has begun."

Diluc thought very comprehensively,

They can not only investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, get the Lawrence family to cooperate, but also appease the dissatisfaction of Mondstadt citizens against the Knights.

The knight who reported the news also reacted and nodded immediately: "I'll go right away."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards Mondstadt.

After the knight left, several people rushed towards the snow-capped mountains without any further delay.

……

at the same time,

In the city of Mondstadt, some citizens who were still dissatisfied with Lawrence began to protest against the Knights, demanding that the Knights rescue the kidnapped businessmen.
