Overlord the sky

Chapter 78 The Swapped Corpse

"General Hu, what happened to the Iron Head at the city gate last time?" Zheng Qian asked towards Humen. 26nbsp;

"Iron Head Man..." Humen seemed to be blocked by something in his throat.

"what happened?"

Humen suddenly knelt on the ground.

"God envoy, please punish me for my ineffective care." Humen put his palms on the ground, and pressed his head on the ground between his palms.

"You mean, Ironhead..."

"I was picked to death by the 'chaotic' gun of the Snow Wolf Battalion."

Zheng Qian felt a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head.His face became extremely dark, and a slight energy coercion emanated from his body.

Humen felt the pressure of this energy, and lowered his head even lower.

"Tell me about the specific situation."

"Yes. We obeyed the order of the envoy and brought the iron-headed man to the regiment, and nothing happened. Later, the army sent out to search for the envoy, and there were not many brothers stationed in the regiment. Because after so many days, nothing happened. I didn’t assign my brother to guard the Iron Headman. That day, for unknown reasons, the Iron Headman suddenly disappeared from the regiment, and when we finally found the fence, we found his body.”

"How do you know you were picked to death by a 'random' gun?"

"At that time, he had gun holes all over his body. He died again at the junction of the Huben Regiment and the Snow Wolf Battalion. We guess he was picked to death by the 'random' guns of the Snow Wolf Battalion."

"Where is the body?"

"In. Put together with the body of the palace 'accompanying'."

"lead the way."

Humen saw that Zheng Qian didn't intend to ask for guilt, and judging from his expression, it seemed that there was something hidden in it, so he quickly got up and led the way.

The bodies of the Iron Head and Nika were collected in the dedicated corpse storage place of the Huben Group.This place has special 'medicine' materials to keep the corpse fresh.

Humen took Zheng Qian around the Huben group for a while, and walked into a stone hut.Open the tight wooden door, revealing a staircase leading to the ground.Oil lamps are lit at equal intervals on the steps.Humen led Zheng Qian to go underground.

Coming to a dark small stone house, Zheng Qian saw two corpses lined up side by side.One was Nika's face whose face had been destroyed, and the other was an iron headed man wearing an iron hood.

Zheng Qian walked over, reached out and lifted a piece of sackcloth covering the iron head man.

He beckoned and asked Humen to bring the oil lamp over, and carefully looked at the wound on the iron head man.

The iron head man's whole body is densely covered with circular wounds, and the wounds are black.Zheng Qian picked up the wounds on Iron Head Man one by one.The oil lamp held by General Humen followed Zheng Qian's hands closely, so that Zheng Qian could see more clearly.

After checking the wounds on his body, Zheng Qian reached out and took off the Iron Headman's iron hood.

When he held the iron shield in his hand, he looked at the iron head man's face, but he couldn't help being stunned.

This face was completely destroyed, and it was almost exactly the same as Nika's face.

Zheng Qian didn't speak, and walked around in small steps around the two corpses whose faces were also destroyed.

Zheng Qian hugged his chest with one hand, propped the elbow of one hand on the arm hugging his chest, and rubbed his fingers on his chin.After walking for a while, he stopped beside Humen.

"General Tiger, you said you found the Iron Headman near the Snow Wolf Camp?"

"Exactly."

"Did you see anyone else when you went?"

"I didn't see anyone at the time. Due to the deployment of the entire army, there were not many people left behind in the Snow Wolf Battalion." When he said this, Humen paused, as if he felt something.

"So many wounds, so evenly distributed, and none of them overlap. How likely do you think it is to be stabbed by a 'random' gun?"

"Almost...impossible."

As the general of the Huben Regiment, Humen certainly knew that it would be basically impossible for the wounds on his whole body to overlap without any overlapping wounds.No one can be so precise.

"Besides, I'll tell you one more thing."

Humen didn't dare to answer, he didn't take good care of the iron-headed man, he has already committed the crime of ineffective care, and now he has committed the crime of negligence in the death of the iron-headed man, if there is any dereliction of duty, he can be beheaded .

"This person is not the iron man!"

"Ah..." Humen was taken aback.

"It's not your fault. You have never seen the iron-headed man. As long as the face is destroyed, no one will be able to recognize it. However, I have seen the real face of the iron-headed man." Zheng Qian said the last sentence At that time, he was already sneering.

After Zheng Qian finished speaking, he walked to Nika's side.Also lifted the sackcloth covering her body, and carefully inspected her body.

From the appearance alone, it is not known that this is Nika's body.But Nika's naturally flat chest impressed Zheng Qian too deeply.Without looking at the face, Zheng Qian can tell whether this is Nika based on his natural instinct.

The faces of two people were also damaged.Moreover, Zheng Qian could also see that the disfigurement method was exactly the same, as if his face had been ripped off.

"God envoy, how do you know that Iron Head Man has been transferred?" Humen couldn't help but asked.

"Part of the skin on Iron Head's face has rotted, that's why he showed such a rotten smell when he was at the city gate. Look at the face of this corpse again." Zheng Qian pointed to the face lying beside Nika unidentified corpse.

Humen still has this vision.He knew that the face of this corpse had been deliberately destroyed in a completely healthy condition.When they found the corpse, there was already some rancid smell on the corpse, which was similar to the smell of the iron head man, so Humen didn't pay attention to it all the time, and the one he brought back for careful preservation was a fake corpse.

"It's really well-intentioned. But why is it all?" Humen said whatever he had.

"Yes. Why?" Zheng Qian didn't know why.

Zheng Qian thought it was understandable to hang up Nika and disfigure her face.After all, Nika is an important minister of the royal family.If she was killed, it would cause quite a shock, not to mention that the news that Nika was a member of the snake tribe was quite shocking.Ruining her appearance can save a lot of trouble.But what has always puzzled Zheng Qian is that the cause of Nika's death has not been found yet.Disfigurement alone cannot kill.What method did the snake clan use to kill Nika?

Zheng Qian thought of a possibility about the iron head being transferred.

Zheng Qian's previous doubts about the identity of the iron head, judging from the current situation, are more confirmed.However, without sufficient evidence, all this can only remain in the speculation stage.

"Go up. There are no meaningful clues here, either."

Humen was confused by these two corpses. Now that Zheng Qian said so, he immediately complied.

After leaving the morgue, under the direct sunlight outside, the two people who came out of the darkness squinted their eyes.

"General Tiger."

"The end is here."

"When will Huwei come back?"

"This, it can be as fast as three days, or as slow as seven days."

"The princess went out with General Huwei."

"Well. None of us can stop the princess."

"I know. Her character, if you can stop her, she will not be a princess. It's just that the royal family of Winterfell has been troubled since then, and it seems that the life of the princess will not be too easy." Zheng Qian knew the princess My attitude towards life is to pick something up and throw it away.Any unpleasantness can be forgotten immediately.But if something too big happens, Zheng Qian doesn't know if the princess has such endurance.

"Envoy, what do you mean to say, this matter is related to the royal family?"

Zheng Qian nodded.

The queen is a member of the snake tribe, and only he knows about it.Although the queen has disappeared now, Zheng Qian didn't feel the connection between the royal family and the snake clan at all, so he broke it off.

The real storm is yet to come.Zheng Qian thought so.

Winterfell is currently experiencing troubled times.The relationship between the Snake Clan, the royal family, Qianfeng Tower, and Jixiang Tea House is intricate. Zheng Qian even thought that this plan of the Snake Clan is not only in Winterfell, but may have extended to the entire Green Empire.

But this is just his bold guess.He didn't have any evidence to make his idea come true.

"No matter what, as long as you pull out the cocoons bit by bit, there will always be a day when the water'dew' will come out."

"God..."

"what's up?"

"If this matter is really related to the royal family, if it is a member of the royal family, it will not be related to the entire royal family..." When Humen asked this, he felt a little uneasy.

Zheng Qian understands Humen's difficulties.However, at that time, what should be decided must still need to be decided.

"At that time, you just need to act according to your own wishes." Zheng Qian replied Humen's words in response to the non-questioning question.
