This is a long and narrow valley, with two deep ruts extending into the valley.
Arthur and his companions followed the marks of the ruts and quietly moved into the valley, stopping to observe the surrounding environment every few steps.
After walking more than a hundred meters into the valley, they saw the trucks that had been robbed before. The musk oxen pulling the trucks were untied and scattered in the valley to eat grass leisurely. The outermost trucks were deliberately turned sideways, just blocking the road leading to the outside of the valley, so there was no need to worry about the musk oxen running away.
Arthur looked around and did not find a single orc or human. It seemed that the robbed things were just discarded by the orcs.
"Is this a solved case? It's a bit too boring." Joan muttered in a low voice.
"Don't think the orcs are as stupid as you. They ran so far just to throw away the stolen goods? Wait, the orcs will come back, or someone will come to take these things away. Let's wait and see." Arthur speculated.
So several people found a very hidden place where they could observe the entire valley and hid again, ready to wait and see.
In the long and boring wait, the sky brightened, and then the sun rose again. When several people were already drowsy, Moral suddenly let out an excited low cry, "Someone is coming!"
Following the direction of Moral's finger, a short human man appeared at the entrance of the valley.
He moved very carefully, stayed at the entrance of the valley for a long time, and carefully slipped into the valley after confirming that there was no one around.
"Catch him, and we will definitely find out the mastermind behind it." Moral was ready to rush out.
"Don't move yet. This is a pathfinder. He can't carry these goods alone." Arthur stopped Moral.
Sure enough, the man walked around the valley, opened the compartments of several cars, checked them, and then left quickly.
At this point, the context of the matter was basically clear. Someone in the Frost Thunder Legion leaked the itinerary of the transport team to the orc hunting team. After the orcs robbed, they left the goods at the agreed location, and the person who leaked the information arranged for people to transport the goods away.
Although the human and beast tribes have been hating and fighting for thousands of years, there are countless dirty and dirty deals in between. There are many people on both sides who temporarily give up hatred for the sake of profit. The previous deal between Arthur and Leon is the best example.
"You can notify Dino to send someone to close the net." Qing said unhappily. The process of solving the case is far more boring than imagined. It is just another plot of collusion between insiders and outsiders for money.
Arthur guessed what Joan was thinking by looking at his expression. As a "fool" that ordinary people could not understand, Joan was a guy who never thought that he would do anything.
Arthur blinked, "Then let's make things bigger, don't rush to close the net so quickly."
Joan immediately became energetic, "What are you going to do?"
Arthur showed a wicked smile, "There is still time, let's go and check the goods."
Time is not only in time, it is simply a year! Arthur and his friends waited for two days before someone showed up again.
During this period, Gold and Hughie returned along the marching marks left by Arthur and his friends, but they did not gain more. Those magic ape warriors and leopard cavalry did not stay in the control area of the Frost Thunder Legion at all, but returned directly to the battle area between humans and beasts. The two did not continue to follow because they were worried about being exposed.
This time, a group of people dressed as coachmen came. These people did not look like warriors at all, but Arthur found the short man who came last time among them.
These people were very skilled. They put the musk ox back on the carts. Each of them took care of two or three carts and drove the carts out of the valley in a line. Then they changed a road, made a big detour, and drove the caravan back to Twilight City.
However, the caravan did not go directly into the city, but stopped at a large post station outside the city, and then the short man directly gave money to dismiss these coachmen.
The other party was too cautious!
Now Arthur was somewhat glad that he did not rush to take action in the valley. These coachmen were all hired temporarily, and it was useless to arrest them. If the short man who might know the inside story did not confess or committed suicide, all clues would be cut off immediately.
The large post station in the Kingdom of Isaac also provides accommodation and cargo storage services to the merchants and travelers. The short man left in a hurry after temporarily storing the goods and the car in the inn.
Arthur and his men had to separate again. Gold and Hughie followed the short man, and Arthur continued to keep an eye on the goods. As long as these things were there, the mastermind behind them would definitely show up.
The short man left for another day without any movement. In the middle, Gold came back angrily. The short man actually ran to a brothel to have fun and plunged into it all night without coming out.
Gold couldn't force her way into that kind of place, no matter how strong her character was, and Hughie refused Gold's order for the first time. The "half-orc" would never go in.
Molar looked at Gold with eager eyes, "I should have been in the same group with you earlier. Is it too late to change people now?"
Molar's eagerness was exchanged for Gold's heavy kick.
This action did not test wisdom, but the patience of the people.
When Arthur and others were eagerly waiting for the short man to appear again, the dark magic mark left by Arthur in the goods suddenly moved.
Several people hurried over and found that the people who took away the goods were a group of guys from Xing yuan Trading Company, which was one of the several food suppliers selected by the Frost Thunder Legion.
The post station would issue a certificate for the guests to deposit goods, and the certification would not recognize the person when taking things. While Arthur and others were still waiting for the short man to appear again, the other party used a receipt to completely choose himself out.
The guys of Xing yuan Trading Company drove the convoy straight to Twilight City, and the place they went to completely shocked Arthur-the military supply department of the Frost Thunder Legion in Twilight City!
The person behind the scenes never showed up from the beginning to the end. The transport convoy was hijacked by the orcs, and changed hands three times in five days. Now it was sold back to the Frost Thunder Legion!
According to the time, the Frost Thunder Legion must have immediately started to purchase the next batch of food after the previous batch of food was hijacked. Now, these grains just solved the urgent needs of the Frost Thunder Legion.
The other party's means are simply too high!
Arthur is sure that the people who handled any link, the orcs, the hired drivers, the business clerks, and even the short man, would not have guessed that this batch of goods would go around in a circle like this. And after this circle, the goods were not even unloaded, but the people behind the scenes made 100% profit!
The only ones who were cheated were the Frost Thunder Legion and Dino!
Everything was designed so perfectly that any flaws in any link would not lead to the fire on the people behind this matter.
However, because Arthur and his friends suddenly wanted to make things bigger, the bomb was completely detonated at the last moment...
