Chapter 57 assassin
"Wait, what did you say? The Monta?" Surprised, he was breathing fast.

"Yes." Benwei replied as it should be by rights.

"The Montags working on the docks?" Winters pressed, "You mean the guys who blew up the docks were members of the Montags gang?"

" That's right." Benwei spread his hands: "It's Da Scar's new helper recently, and he just got together with the Monta people recently."

Winters took a deep breath, and his tone became extremely serious: "Benwei, if you want me to help you solve those Monta people, I will help you as long as you speak. However, don't open up your mouth just because you had a holiday with the Monta people. This assassination is not simple, the identity of the deceased is until It's all a mystery right now, and there might be something really involved...I want you to answer me honestly, are you sure you read it right?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure I didn't read it Wrong." Ben Wei replied earnestly, meeting Winters' gaze: "And we and the Montans are not at the level of life and death, you think too seriously."

"Tell me about that A few people and everything you know."

"Where to start?"

"Start from scratch."

Benway drank some water and moistened his throat , starting six years ago.

During the last year of the Army Junior School, the Benway family lost two laborers - Benway's father and uncle - because of an unfortunate accident. So after graduating from the Army Infant School six years ago, in order to support the family, Benwei went to work on the docks like his parents did.

At that time, there was no order in the wharf, and as a large number of landless peasants poured into the city, the competition on the wharf became fierce.

You want three Silver Coins to unload a cargo?

We'll do it for two.

Dock workers are fighting each other and lowering prices, and the resulting violent conflicts are endless.

Soon, as the conflict intensified, the organization improved, and small groups began to appear among the dockworkers. The strength of one man is insignificant in the face of the power of a gang, and dockworkers are terrorized, beaten, and expelled if they don't join a gang.

And the small gang will be bullied by the big gang, either joining each other or forming a larger group with other small gangs. Eventually, all the dockers became part of some big gang.

For these people from the northern part of the Southern Sea, the place of origin is the most common identity, and it is an inevitable result to form a group based on the place of origin. In the end, outsiders such as the Monta, Vine, and Paratus expelled the Veneta natives from the docks and took control of all handling.

These three groups control the number of dock workers, and do not allow outsiders to work at the docks, avoiding excessive competition. To a certain extent, it is similar to the artificially stipulated industry access thresholds by commercial and handicraft guilds. Wonderful.

But they did not form a tight organization, essentially or for not being bullied and grouped together. Even the leaders of the gang are usually ordinary porters, but in the event of a conflict, everyone will line up according to their place of origin.

In the beginning, it was quite peaceful, but gradually some people were not satisfied with it. About half a month ago, Benway discovered some new faces among the Monta people. Originally, this was nothing. Dock workers were very mobile, and there were always people leaving and new people coming in.

But then the Monta people provoked a conflict with the other two groups. The strength of the three parties was comparable. After all, they were all just porters, and no one dared to fight too hard. But the new faces of the Monta people were extremely vicious, that is, they severely injured Benwei's Uncle, and died not long after they were brought home.

Scar, the leader of the Monta people, boasted proudly to others after drinking, saying that these people were all the thugs he hired specially, and this time he wanted to completely defeat the Vahn and the Palatine people. Clothes.

On the day of the pier assassination, Benway saw with his own eyes the newly arrived Montaers throwing explosives at the trestle. There were several other porters beside the Monta people, but they were all silenced on the spot, and only Benwei escaped by hiding in the cabin.

Winters thought to himself: "The porters who were killed were probably the corpses that were taken away by the family as mentioned by the customs." The intelligence confirmed each other and increased credibility.

After that, there was an explosion of heaven shaking, earth shattering, and Benway rescued Winters and Moritz, who couldn't swim, from the sea. Winters and his contemporaries were sent to the customs prison to "rest", and what happened outside had nothing to do with them.

But for Benway, bad things happened one after another. Because of the explosion at the customs, Benwei couldn't find anyone willing to listen to a small porter.

In desperation, he just went home and waited for the second day to go to the customs guard. As a result, before dinner was eaten, several distant relatives and friends knocked on the door of his house, out of breath and told him: Da Scar is dead, and the Monta people are gathering people to seek revenge for him.

Benwei's family left home overnight, and the woman and the elderly were sent to other places. Benwei and his uncle and younger brother have been hiding in the suburbs until today.

"Where are the thugs that the Monta people invited? It's simply an assassin, just disguised as a thug and infiltrated the Monta gang." Winters frowned a few times: "It is estimated that now It's long since been disappeared without a trace."

Ben Wei sighed: "I also thought that those few faces were not ordinary persons, they were all guys who took other people's lives as their own."

"I'm a little surprised. It's already been mixed into the pier, so why make such a big noise? And that carriage, is it possible that you still want to deceive people and catch them?" Winters Rubbing the stubble on his jaw, he said with a sneer: "I am more and more curious about the identity of the deceased. Who is worth so much trouble? I guess the head of the Monta people was also silenced by them."

"Anyway, those people must have been disappeared without a trace."

"Anyone who walks by will leave a trace. Follow the footprints and you will find it. You know those Where are the core members of the Monta people now? The people on the dock didn't tell us anything."

Benway shook the head: "I don't know, just like they don't know where I am either. , are hiding. If I find it, I will let you know."

"Okay, but don't let this friend deliver the letter for you." Winters said with a wry smile: "He really It's a terrible messenger. Also, move to another house, this house is too unsafe."

Benway agreed with nodded with a smile.

We talked about the time we experienced together and the time we didn't experience together, and the two said goodbye.

“If you change places, how will I find you in the future?” Winters asked.

"Go to the pier to find George Gap, tell him to see me, and I'll contact you."

Winters nod, no more nonsense, and go back to the city.

Pushing open the door to the gendarmerie, Winters found Lieutenant Colonel Field and Major Moritz waiting for him.

"Where have you been?" Field asked with some dissatisfaction.

"I went to see a dock worker and asked for some important news." Winters, who was absent from the meeting, replied without blushing: "It shouldn't be monolithic over there on the dock, Vine. Will support us."

"Oh? What news?"

Winters relayed what he had heard from Benwia about the relationship between the assassin and the Monta gang.

"Your classmate Lu You doesn't want to use our hands to get rid of the Monta people, right?" Field looked suspicious.

"It's possible." Although Winters trusted Benwei, he didn't say anything.

"Let's put this aside for now." Field waved his hand: "I have an important job for you... Have you ever stolen something?"

It turned out to be Lieutenant Colonel Field and Major Moritz searched for several days according to the list provided by the Duelists Club, only to find that the Duelists Club provided a half-truth list.

On the one hand, this is a very detailed list that fills seven pages. But many of them just signed the guest book and were included in the list. There are also many people who are not officers on this list - the Duelists Club appears to have developed a number of non-official members.

But the Military Police is looking for someone who is both familiar with Ned's Long Sword Technique and good at Swift Sword. There may be many commoners who are good at swift swords, but not many people are familiar with long sword techniques, because long swords have long been out of fashion, and Veneta simply does not have a sword technique school that teaches long swords. This sword technique has only been systematically learned by officers who have returned from the Military Academy.

Those true core members of the Duelist Club don't make much of the list. There are only a few school-level officers in the entire list, which is impossible.

Although Major Moritz is also a full member of the Duelists Club, he has always been loose and seldom awake after eight o'clock in the evening. So occasionally go to the club is to eat he he, never participate in the management of the duelist club.

Moritz went to ask for the list, but the other party sincerely refused to give it, so the major could not do anything.

No, the Major actually has a way. His solution is to steal.

"No, no, no." Winters shook his head vigorously, waving his hands again and again: "It's alright if you ask me to rob, I really won't."

"Stealing things is easy. The main thing is to have a good psychological quality. Just like a horse thief, as long as you calmly resemble the owner of the horse, no one will be suspicious. I think your psychological quality is very strong and has great potential." Field was frantically touting Montagne Warrant Officer.

"Senior, I really can't do it. I'm also an officer anyway. If I get caught stealing something..." If you think about failure, can you succeed with this mentality? As long as you think about success, you won't miss it."

He added: "Besides, our teacher is famous, and it is a dignified investigation. , how can we steal things in the military police department? This is called using alternative means to obtain evidence."

"If it is dignified, we will kick the door with a gun and snatch it! If we do it, I will definitely go! " Winters was anxious.

"Okay, Warrant Officer Montagne, I order you to snatch the evidence—without being discovered."
