Chapter 727: Investigation

Yue Qi, who was having a headache because he couldn't find the hiding place for those people, immediately understood the key point of this information. In other words, the hiding place of the Komu Army was probably on this island, not on other places. No wonder he sent someone to search without any movement. It is estimated that they also thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place. According to general thinking, they came by boat and attacked these villages. Then their hiding place should be on the outside island, not on this island, so they could avoid their own reconnaissance.

Yue Qi, who understood this, was immediately overjoyed. However, as a general, he also knew what it means to act cautiously, so he did not show any expression of joy at the moment, but asked, "What you said is the truth?"

The woman immediately said: "What the little woman is telling is indeed the truth. If there is a little falsehood, the little woman is willing to apologize for her death!"

Yue Qi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to apologize for death. I believe you too. In this way, I will take the soldiers to follow you later and bring witnesses together. I have to ask him in detail!"

This is also a very cautious approach, and the woman did not object and said, "Thank you sir!"

Yue Qi asked a soldier to follow the woman. After they left, Yue Qi immediately recruited the deputy general. The deputy general heard the woman's conversation just now and couldn't help but say happily: "Sir, that is to say, we should have discovered the hiding places of the Koumu Army?"

Yue Qi said without any statement, "I'm not sure yet, so I'll ask someone to investigate immediately. Is there a river that can pass through a warship in more than 200 miles away from here? If so, immediately investigate whether there is a cave that can hide the warship. Secondly, I'll send someone to investigate whether the woman is a person here!"

"The general doubts her?"

The adjutant asked involuntarily.

Yue Qi did not say doubt or something, but said: "It is too early to determine whether she is our friend before she is sure whether she is our friend!"

The adjutant nodded and immediately sent someone to investigate. Yue Qi now had to wait patiently for the progress of the matter. The investigation of the woman soon had results. In the afternoon, the adjutant walked in with some of the results of the investigation and said, "General, we investigated carefully. This woman is the truth. She is indeed a person here, named Wakana Sakai. Her parents died in the war, and only she and her brother depend on each other. His brother Sakai Komatsu, who disappeared last month, was at a loss and was a peddler!"

Yue Qi took the information in the adjutant's hand and looked carefully. As the adjutant said, the Wakana Sakai was indeed a person here, which means that she was the spy who was placed here by the attack on the village's Komu Jun. However, Yue Qi still did not intend to believe her completely. After putting the information on the table, he said: "Okay, I probably know too, so wait for them to come with that witness. By the way, have we spies sent out?"

The adjutant nodded and said, "I've been sent out. When I set off, Lord Wang lent us a few people. They are the best spies!"

Of course, Yue Qi understood who the adjutant mentioned was. They were soldiers who had been with Jiang Lang and had been trained by Jiang Lang himself. Now they are not only skilled in martial arts, but also the best spies. In addition, they are also proficient in assassination. They are definitely the confidant of Jiang Lang and the sharp blades in Jiang Lang's hands. Generally speaking, these people usually stay by Jiang Lang's side with ordinary guards to protect the safety of Jiang Lang and their family. However, once they have an order, they are the best spies and the most ruthless killers. Jiang Lang actually lent these to himself, which shows that Jiang Lang attaches great importance to this matter, otherwise they would not easily send these people out.

Thinking of this, Yue Qi couldn't help but feel relieved. These people should have no problem with their actions. At least they have dispatched many missions so far, but none of them have lost.

On the next day, the soldiers and Wakana Sakai finally walked back with a man. The man was already in the Central Plains and was a little thin. Seeing Yue Qi and the majestic soldiers on both sides, his legs were so scared that they were trembling slightly. He knelt on the ground with trembling trembling, and then said: "Cao...caomen, please see the Lord!"

However, Yue Qi couldn't understand what he was saying. He only waited for the soldiers next to him to translate and then said: "Get up and talk!"

Yue Qi said lightly that he often works in the officialdom and has some influence on many official positions, but now the middle-aged man looks confused, and he can't understand what Yue Qi is saying.

At that time, Sakai Wakana whispered: "Sir, let you get up and talk!"

The middle-aged man looked at Yue Qi in surprise, looked at Sakai Wakana, and then stood up carefully.

Yue Qi was really a little troubled with the difference in languages, but at such an old age, of course he couldn't force others to speak Chinese, so he asked, "This lady said you saw his brother being taken to the ground!"

After the soldiers translated, the middle-aged man nodded a little timidly.

Yue Qi continued to ask, "So tell me in detail about the incident!"

The soldier translated it again, and the middle-aged man also arrived in detail. It turned out that he undoubtedly saw it when he was chopping wood that day. When Sakai Komatsu was passing by the forest, he suddenly rushed out a few people, tied him up, and was dragged into the carriage, and then left. Because he was afraid, he did not dare to chase him.

Yue Qi had an unknown premonition in his heart. Sakai Komatsu was probably killed. The Komatsu now has basically become bandits. In their eyes, the people who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty were their enemies, so now they robbed the local people for their own lives. Sakai Komatsu didn't pay attention to knowing their hiding place. In order not to let the secrets of their hiding place be leaked, they were likely to kill and silence them. After all, they also knew that once the people were robbed, the current government would not ignore it. Sakai Komatsu, who knew where they were hiding, would only be relieved. Therefore, his hope of living is very slim.

But of course this is hard to say. After the soldiers finished speaking in detail, they waved their hand and signaled that the soldiers would take Nakamoto out. Then they said to Sakai Wakana: "Miss Sakai, I am very sorry about Brother Ling's affairs. However, in order to find Brother Ling, I will take someone to the place where Brother Ling was kidnapped tomorrow to check carefully, hoping to find any clues!"

Sakai Wakana hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you sir!"

Yue Qi nodded slightly, and then he signaled that he could go out. After he went out, the adjutant said: "General, I guess this Sakai Komatsu must have been killed!"

Yue Qi did not mean to hide his thoughts at all, and said, "It is absolutely very likely that if it were me, in order not to reveal his secret, it would be best for the dead to be dead, and the dead will not speak!"

"So the adults still have to go tomorrow?"

The adjutant asked.

Yue Qi nodded and said, "I still have to go there. After all, someone else found us. If we don't give him a result, it's a bit dissatisfied. So we will go together tomorrow to see if there are any results nearby. The so-called living must see people and death must see corpses!"

The next day, Yue Qi and his men led the middle-aged man to the place where he saw Sakai Komatsu kidnapped. After walking for a long time, he arrived at the foot of a mountain. There were mountains all over the mountain. The mountain was covered with dense trees. There were only one small road through the mountain pass. This place was considered to be very few people, and there was only one road to advance. It was indeed a good place to kill people and silence them.

After riding on the horse and observing the surrounding environment, Yue Qi waved his hand and the soldiers immediately began to warn him. This was the place where people were killed and silenced, and it was also a place where people set up an ambush. The investigation of Sakai Wakana was clear, but the middle-aged man had no time to investigate, so he had to be careful that he was a member of the Komu Army, so this warning was just in case.

After some of the soldiers in charge of the alert were arranged, Yue Qi asked: "Is this where Sakai Komatsu was killed?"

After the soldier translated, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, right in front, after being caught, he was dragged into the woods. I was just a little below!"

After saying that, he also pointed to the position.

The soldier immediately translated it. Yue Qi frowned slightly, got off the horse, and then pointed to the place where Sakai Komatsu was killed, saying, "Go there!"

After saying that, he walked to the place where the middle-aged man said alone, and to verify whether what the middle-aged man said was true, of course, the best way is to check it yourself. If you can't see it, it means that there is something wrong with the middle-aged man's words. After walking to the place where the middle-aged man said, he stopped. The middle-aged man naturally arrived at the place where Komatsu Sakai was kidnapped, which he said.

Squatting slightly, Yue Qi gave his vision about the same level as that of a middle-aged man. Then he looked up and could easily see the middle-aged man standing at the current position. Even if he was squatting down, it would be fine. This shows that the middle-aged man said that seeing Sakai Komatsu was kidnapped was completely true and he did not lie! Since he did not lie, Sakai Komatsu's body should not be carried too far away. The reason why they chose to do this was to prevent others from discovering it. If the time for transporting the body for a long time, it might be discovered by others!

Therefore, after returning to the road, he immediately ordered: "Send someone to search the area ahead immediately to see if there are any suspicious signs!"
