Chapter 329: Chapter 274, Rich People Are Foolish

Battle with pirates?

Upon hearing this sentence, Wu Heng glanced at the elf Vice-executive beside him, whose eyebrows were slightly knitted.

In other words, the body lying here was killed by pirates at sea.

Xi Ligui continued to ask, “Which Pirate Group?”

The body answered, “Not clear.”

Xi Ligui looked at the body and asked again, “Is ‘Shanaela’ still alive?”

“Not clear!”

Two consecutive questions, and the body answered neither clearly.

This made the elf’s expression grow even more solemn.

After a few seconds of silence, “How many people does the enemy have?”

The body answered, “A lot, close to a thousand.”

“What are the characteristics of these pirates?”

“Many people, very fierce in combat.”

After answering the last question, the body lay back down on the tal slab.

And ‘Xi Ligui’s’ brows were still not relaxed.

Five questions in total.

Apart from confirming it was the work of pirates, there was no other gain.

Xi Ligui turned to Wu Heng, “Let’s go, we’ll head back first.”

“What about the other bodies?” Wu Heng said.

“No more, the others are not associated.”

Xi Ligui said this and led him out.

Exiting the morgue.

The two Coroners were still chatting by the door.

Seeing several people co out, they bowed slightly.

Xi Ligui said, “We’ve disturbed you.”

“No disturbance,” The Coroner said.

Xi Ligui nodded, and the two of them left side by side.

After walking so distance.

Wu Heng said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back.”

Xi Ligui imdiately said, “Don’t go back yet, this matter isn’t over, let’s visit the Steward.”

“Oh!” Wu Heng didn’t quite understand what had happened.

He followed along to the Steward’s Office.

…

After knocking on the door and getting a response.

They both walked in directly.

The Steward ‘Imilo’ was seated at his desk looking at docunts, and looking up at the two, he said, “Take a seat!”

They sat down on the sofa, and the elf assistant brought over so tea.

“How’d it go?” Steward ‘Imilo’ asked.

Xi Ligui recounted the results of speaking with the dead.

After listening, Imilo nodded, then turned his attention to Wu Heng and asked, “Has Xi Ligui told you about this matter?”

“Not yet!”

Imilo glanced at the assistant beside him, who softly began to speak.

“The body found at the port the day before yesterday, after verification, has been confird to be an Attendant of ‘Sha Naila’. During the autopsy, a piece of human skin with writing was found in the mouth, demanding a ransom of fifty thousand Gold Coin for the exchange of ‘Sha Naila’ herself.”

Wu Heng’s eyebrows raised.

Kidnapped.

This person nad ‘Sha Naila’ had been hijacked by pirates at sea.

Throwing a body over here, demanding fifty thousand Gold Coin.

This amount… this person nad ‘Sha Naila’, must have a not inconsequential status.

Just now, Xi Ligui had specifically inquired whether ‘Sha Naila’ was still alive to confirm this matter.

“Well, I understand, and then what…?” Wu Heng asked.

Still not quite understanding why this matter was being told to him.

He didn’t have that much money.

Imilo said, “The trade guild is preparing the money, you two will take responsibility for this job, bring the person back, and you’ll be awarded third-grade rit.”

Wu Heng frowned, “Pirates take the money and release the hostage?”

Pirates honor their word, take the money, and release the person.

He certainly didn’t believe it.

Xi Ligui said, “It’s just preparations for now, going to redeem the person is the only direction we can proceed with at the mont. Otherwise, we don’t even know who the other party is; what else can we do?”

“Then, whether the money is raised or not, it won’t be necessary, it’s just a starting point anyway,” Wu Heng continued.

Xi Ligui shook his head,

“To prevent the pirates from having implanted soone who is secretly observing us here.”

Imilo nodded and said, “That’s the situation, prepare yourselves, each of you will take a small team. Together you’ll go to make the hostage exchange, prioritize safety above all else.”

“Yes!” Xi Ligui responded, and Wu Heng nodded in agreent.

Having left the Steward’s Office.

Xi Ligui said, “Once the ransom is prepared, I’ll have soone notify you.”

“Okay.”

The two parted ways, each heading back to their office.

…

Returning to his working office.

Andre Willow was sitting at the desk working.

Seeing Wu Heng enter, she imdiately smiled, “Did Deputy Steward Xi Ligui have sothing for you?”

“Asked to interrogate a corpse,” Wu Heng replied, and then continued, “Check if the third squad is on a task; if not, ask ‘Olin’ to co over.”

“Oh, okay!” Andre Willow stood up and walked out.

She soon ca back.

A bearded Short person followed her.

Different from before, this ti, his beard was clasped with three silver clasps, adorned with red gems.

“Deputy Steward!” Olin bowed slightly.

The third squad had followed Wu Heng on the last two tasks and had received quite a few benefits.

A third-grade rit, and the resolution of a girl’s imprisonnt.

It gave the third squad a certain rise in reputation as well.

Now, the Short person addressed him with even more respect than before.

“Take a seat!”

The Short person sat down beside him.

Wu Heng kept talking, “Is the third squad busy with any tasks today?”

“So far, no. Whatever instructions the Deputy Steward has, we’ll do our utmost to complete them,” Olin said.

Wu Heng nodded, “The Steward has assigned a task, a third-grade rit one. If you’re available, co with .”

The Short person didn’t hesitate much and agreed right away, “No problem, we can depart right now.”

“No rush. I’ll inform you when we’re leaving.”

“Alright.”

After everything was settled,

Olin once again bowed and walked straight out.
