Chapter 66 Analysis of Intelligence, Serial Murder

Hummingbird is the code name of the informant that Gooden sent to the territory of Charlieson to contact Roy.

It has been four days since departure.

After learning that the news had been brought back, Gooden hurriedly asked.

"Where are people now?"

"Your study."

As the most important office location of Gooden, the study can be arranged to report here, which is undoubtedly a step into the confidant level.

Immediately, Gooden immediately stepped up his pace and went into the study.

Hummingbird's original name was Auston, and at the moment he was sitting quietly waiting for the young master to come.

As the wooden door of the study was pushed open, Auston also quickly stood up.

"Master."

"Auston, sit down, how are you staying in Snow Valley these few days?"

Gooden didn't come up to ask about the task, but began to ask questions and bring the feelings of the two sides closer.

"Young master, I live up to your expectations. I have successfully connected to get the information."

Auston, who had gone through the training camp, sat down and answered questions straightly.

Seeing this, Gooden was very happy in his heart, and the other party was learning very quickly in this area.

So give up the detours and go straight to the point.

"Let's talk about it, how did Roy answer the two questions I gave you."

"Yes." Auston nodded and began to retell the conversation between the two.

"Regarding the news of taxation, Roy said that he learned from the tax collector in the tavern. The tax collector in Xueguling arrives a week earlier than the one in Qingyuan Town."

"Tavern?" Gooden didn't quite believe this answer.

"Yes, it's the pub." Auston nodded.

In this regard, Gooden has a lot of doubts in his heart, but for now, he still needs to wait for Auston to report and then analyze it with old Joseph.

"Well, you go on."

"In response to the second question, Roy said that the only problem he found was that the Charlson family was collecting grain in Snow Valley Ridge."

"More than half of the grain grown by their farmers in Xueguling was collected by the Charlson family at a low price."

"There are even times when food needs to be transferred from outside to provide food in the towns. This has been going on for two years."

So far, all the information Auston got from Roy has been reported.

"In addition, I found someone following me when I left Xueguling, so I turned to Jinyuan City to stay for one night, and then pretended to make a big circle to the northern front before returning."

Gooden was very satisfied with Auston's agility and said with a smile on his face.

"Good job, hard work, take a break for the past two days, and the training clothes have been delivered. You can try it later."

"Thank you sir!"

Among the current guards, the temptation of monetary rewards is far less than that of vacations or snacks.

After all, when on duty and training, you can't drink or have fun, which is too much for these young and strong guys.

But every seven days, the young master will give them a day off. There are only a few training tasks on this day, and they will be free to rest after finishing.

After thanking Auston, he left the study. His task had been completed, and the rest of the matter was discussed and arranged by the bosses.

"Do you believe the news from Roy?" Gooden asked old Joseph.

This kind of confidential matter, Roy accidentally got it from the tax collector who arrived early in the tavern, and Roy was able to successfully deliver the letter to him.

Naturally, Gooden would not believe such a coincidence. The probability of such a chain of events is lower than that of him crossing again.

Old Joseph shook his head: "I don't believe it. I was thinking about how I obtained this information at the time, but now I find it absurd after learning the truth."

"I feel the same way." Gooden also agreed with the words of old Joseph.

At this time, Gooden remembered a recent incident in the town.

"Speaking of which, do you remember the reaction of the 'worms' during this time?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Old Joseph nodded.

The 'worms' that Gooden refers to are residents who provide letters to the Charlson family.

During this time, they frequently began to send out various intelligence letters.

If Gooden hadn't made arrangements in advance, he had bought all the residents around the 'worm', and everything they did would be sent to the castle as soon as possible.

Even the hidden letters sent will be intercepted.

At the same time, in order not to expose all of Charlson's excavation informants, Gooden specially found a 'handwriting master' from the literate people in the town.

This handwriting master was naturally modified from the entry to process these letters, erasing the sensitive content and sending them to the Charlson family.

And it just happened that the content reported in the letters of the worms recently was what he was doing in his daily life, how he looked like, and even recorded all kinds of weirdness in the blacksmith shop.

"Do you think there is a possibility that the Charlieson family is still wary of Roy, so they deliberately released this news to test our reaction."

"If that's the case, it makes sense why Roy just heard the news in the tavern."

"If we acted in a panic and started to prepare for the tax crisis in advance, then Roy should have been exposed at this moment, and the news that came back later does not rule out that the other party deliberately exposed it to us again."

Gooden's reasonable guess, as well as the reaction of the worms, made old Joseph feel a chill behind his back.

If the analysis goes on like this, the Charlieson family is linked to this 'killer move'.

The Charlieson family is fully prepared for the taxation incident. Even if this incident is exposed in advance, the young master's character and thoughts in the past are simply not capable of handling it.

At the same time, Roy's loyalty can be tested. If it is a fake mutiny, then he can use his hand to pass false news to the young master to mislead him.

"Don't talk about this, the second news from Roy is a bit interesting..."

Gooden touched his chin, squinted his eyes at the bookshelf, and began to analyze to himself.

"Here, let's make an assumption, because I made a secretly prepared order, and I just made a mistake so that Roy was not exposed."

"Secondly, the second piece of news from Roy is also true. Xueguling is very short of food."

"Then, what could have caused a huge snow valley to be so short of grain that it was necessary to buy grain from outside to maintain the town?"

"There are many more residents in Xueguling than Qingyuan Town, and there are not many fields for cultivation. If all the crops are left for personal use, they can barely achieve self-sufficiency."

"And under such circumstances, the Charlson family also bought more than half of the grain at a low price, and even imported grain from outside."

"And it lasted for two years, so where did the hoarded food go?"

"Hoard it until the war breaks out to sell or use it yourself? But how can he determine the date of the war?"

　On the last day of 2021, what wishes do you have that have not been fulfilled this year?
