On the Seven Towers

Tang Feng's investigation into Zhang Hong did not make any substantial progress. Zhang Hong's story was like a boring comic strip, which was exactly the same no matter how many times you read it.

After finishing his talk, Zhang Hong asked Tang Feng in confusion: "Hasn't your Jiang Yitian already asked all the questions he should have asked? Why do you ask me to say it again today?"

Tang Feng smiled and said: "These are all procedural things. The matter at Heimuguan this time is very serious. The Intelligence Department requires us to have different people ask at least twice when we question any person."

Zhang Hong pointed at Catalina beside him, "Is she one of yours too?"

Tang Feng said: "Catalina, one of our best field agents. Now she is appointed as my assistant because of work needs."

Zhang Hong stood up and walked around Catalina and said: "I think her position may be a bit problematic. As far as I know, her relationship with Xiao Chen is very special. She seems to be Xiao Chen's admirer. I heard that she was feeding Xiao Chen these two days? Would such a person be biased in the investigation?"

"You are talking nonsense. She is not an admirer?" Catalina blushed anxiously and stood up to argue. Tang Feng held her and said to Zhang Hong: "They didn't get married, and they didn't date. Your random words don't make sense, right?

There are so many people taking care of their comrades these days. What? If they are said to be in that kind of relationship just for feeding, how many more gays will there be in our hospital?

So what if there are emotional likes and dislikes? Just like Zhang Hong, do you also have dissatisfaction with Xiao Chen? According to my judgment, the emotions you revealed, do your testimony and opinions on Xiao Chen have to be ruled invalid?"

Zhang Hong sneered, and did not continue to argue, only said: "Sharp-tongued!"

Tang Feng took Catalina out of Zhang Hong's room and saw that the blush on Catalina's face had not faded.

"Is it strange that I did that?" she said.

"No, but there are many people who envy Xiao Chen."

"Ah? I just did it unconsciously. I don't want him to be misunderstood by others."

Tang Feng scratched his head and said, "As long as Luo Ling doesn't misunderstand."

"Even you will side with her." Catalina looked up at him, and that look made Tang Feng sweat on his forehead, and then lowered his head.

"Let's... continue investigating." Tang Feng took out a notebook, wrote a few names on it, and then tore it off and stuffed it into Catalina's hand, "I will investigate those who organized the defense line with Zhang Hong during the retreat, and find out what the situation was like during the retreat. You go to investigate what Zhang Hong was doing when Heimuguan was attacked. These people are all related personnel, you go and ask them."

——————————————————

According to Zhang Hong himself, he took the initiative to go to the communication and transmission room at that time and reported the situation of Heimuguan to Suero. The first thing Catalina did was to find the relevant personnel in charge of communication to ask.

The communication array and transmission array of Heimuguan are placed in two adjacent houses, and there is a mage on duty every day.

On duty at Heimuguan that day were the mid-level mages Wu Qi and Shen Yuan from the independent battalion. After occupying Heimuguan, Huang Zheng arranged Wu Qi and Shen Yuan, who belonged to the same mage class, to the communication room and the transmission room, which was also a kind of care for the female mage.

Catalina found Wu Qi at a sentry post in Suero to detect magic fluctuations. After Huang Zheng's independent battalion was defeated at Heimuguan, it was expanded and reorganized into the Fourth Regiment by Wang Jiyuan, because Wang Jiyuan knew very well that it was impossible to counterattack Heimuguan according to the current military organization. Although the Fourth Regiment was not fully staffed, it had set up a new framework. As long as the training of the guard soldiers was completed, it could be supported. Wu Qi and three other mages formed the direct mage class of the first battalion of the fourth regiment. They did not have enough combat power for the time being, so they were arranged to be in charge of a sentry post.

"Is someone finally here to investigate what happened that day?" Wu Qi felt the problem as soon as she saw Catalina.

Wu Qi handed the investigation to a wizard under his command, took Catalina to the lounge nearby, and said behind closed doors: "I made a report when I arrived in Suero, and later I told Captain Huang privately. The situation on that day was very strange."

Caterina said: "Tell me in detail, I heard from Captain Huang that there might be something hidden in this link."

Wu Qi said: "The battle at Hei Mu Guan ended that day, and it was a key point that we did not get support from Suero in time. But in my opinion, this is unreasonable, because we obviously had enough time to contact Suero, but when we actually contacted Suero, it was too late."

"Why do you say that?"

Wu Qi said "That day I was in charge of the communication array, while Shen Yuan was in charge of the teleportation array. We were all in the same house, separated by a door. When the battle at the north gate broke out, we all heard the sound coming from over there. Even people like us who had little experience in the battlefield could immediately recognize that it was the sound of an explosion. According to the procedure, Captain Shi or Captain Huang should have immediately sent someone to inform me to contact Suero through the communication array, or to directly activate the teleportation array. But in fact, I waited for a long time that day, but there was no news. It was about twenty minutes after the first explosion that Zhang Hong notified me. By the time I contacted Suero, the enemy had already attacked, and the teleportation array malfunctioned, which resulted in no reinforcements coming at all."

Caterina said: "Wait, you found that there was a battle in the city, and there was no movement from Shi Hao. Didn't you send someone to look for Shi Hao?"

"We did. Shen Yuan went there by herself, and she brought two soldiers with her. But they never came back."

"When did she go?" Catalina asked.

"About ten minutes after the battle started. I suspect she was attacked by a master on the way. But that day was too chaotic, and no one saw her or her body." Wu Qi said solemnly, "Ten minutes later, Zhang Hong came. We contacted Suero together and told Commander Wang the news of the sneak attack on Heimuguan."

"What about the failure of the teleportation array you mentioned just now?" Catalina asked.

"Because Shen Yuan was not there, the substitute wizard that the guards went to find did not come in time, so I could only try to open the teleportation array with Zhang Hong, but the teleportation array could not connect to the other side normally. I don't know much about space magic, so I don't have the ability to fix it, and Zhang Hong can't do it either. Later, a soldier from the guard army came to report the battle situation. The outsiders couldn't hold on any longer, so Zhang Hong took the opportunity to tell Suero to prepare for retreat, which led to his organization of the retreat later."
