Chapter 52 Identification Agent

A few minutes later, inside the car.

Wick tied the gang members to the chair with ropes and slapped them casually, using physical means to wake up the unconscious captives.

"Snapped!"

The bright red slap marks on their faces startled the gang members awake and screamed in fear:

"Help! Help! What do you want to do? We in the Water Absorption Gang will not let you go!"

"Let it go! Be quiet!" Wick slapped the prisoner twice, making him dizzy.

He fumbled in his pocket, pulled out a glass tube with a needle and stabbed the prisoner's neck.

Li Nuo aimed at the liquid in the glass tube and threw out the identification spell, secretly exclaiming that it was bullshit.

This is a special truth serum.

Just 10 mg subcutaneously is enough for an average adult to speak out everything they know.

After all the potion entered the body, the gang members' eyes became blurry and their bodies quickly went limp.

Wick turned his head and said:

"Go to the back carriage and count the cargo on the train. It would be best if you could find the list and data pad. I'll interrogate you for information."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Li Nuo turned and left.

The gang members' dreamlike murmurs gave Li Nuo a clear understanding of the Governor's agents' methods.

For the sake of efficiency and accuracy, the use of unconventional means against criminals not protected by Hive City decrees is both an option and a priority for Governor's Agents.

Li Nuo pushed open the iron door of the first carriage, turned on the flashlight, and searched carefully.

At this time, the effect of identification technique is fully demonstrated.

Li Nuo scanned all objects visible to the naked eye using identification techniques.

This way, those inconspicuous and easily overlooked details will have nowhere to hide.

【Name: Metal barrel filled with pure water】

[Description: There are rust and germs in the metal barrel, so the purified water in the barrel is not actually that pure. ]

[Name: Hand-pressed energy block]

[Description: Compressed food made from synthetic starch, orange sugar and unknown substances. The unknown substances seem to have strange effects.]

Strange effect?
what effect?
Li Nuo took out a box of energy blocks from the crate, opened the outer packaging, and picked out a thumb-sized white block.

After crushing the energy block with the handle of the dagger, a familiar halo appeared before his eyes.

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and concentrated on observing the center of the energy block.

The filling is powdery and scatters blue-purple light.

After being exposed to the air for a few seconds, the filling turned into a wisp of smoke of the same color and dissipated.

The smoke was diluted by the air and its color quickly changed from blue-purple to transparent.

Li Nuo cast the identification spell before the smoke completely disappeared.

[Name: Concentrated essence of ghost fungus (gaseous)]

[Description: Handcrafted concentrated essence of ghost fungus. At normal temperature and pressure, it evaporates quickly when in contact with air.]

Ok?
The concentrated essence of ghost fungus!
Li Nuo opened all the crates in the three carriages, his heart beating faster.

There were a total of thirty crates stacked in the three carriages, all filled with handmade energy blocks.

Li Nuo used random sampling to quickly identify the energy blocks and finally came to the conclusion:
All energy blocks are enhanced with the concentrated essence of ghost fungi!

"Wick and I seem to have caught a big fish. But isn't the Water Absorbing Gang selling water? Why are they transporting energy blocks? Who are the recipients of these energy blocks?"

Li Nuo muttered to himself and searched the carriage, but found no cargo list, order sheet, data board or anything like that.

Nothing like this happened to the gang members Wick had taken out.

The breakthrough point fell on the only survivor.

Li Nuo returned to the front of the car.

Wick is recording the gang members' confessions on a data pad.

Seeing Li Nuo's serious expression, he hurriedly asked:

"What? Any surprising discovery in the carriage?"

"Yes, and a lot of them. I found thirty boxes of energy blocks that are suspected to contain ghost mushroom ingredients."

Wick's body trembled, "Are you sure there are ghost mushroom ingredients in the energy block?" Li Nuo knew that he couldn't be too sure, so he replied:
"I'm about 60 to 70 percent sure. You'd better go over and take a look. I'm worried that I might be wrong."

Wick stood up, took a deep breath, handed the data pad to Li Nuo, and walked to the back carriage:

"You stay here and watch this guy. I'll go check out the back. I have a feeling we may have caught the real culprit this time."

Li Nuo lowered his head and looked through the information on the data board.

"Question: What is the cargo that you, the Sheshui Gang, are transporting this time? Are there any contraband?"

"Answer: The cargo is pure water and energy blocks. Contraband has been added to the energy blocks. They are gifts for the recipients to try out."

“Q: Did the recipient know that there were contraband items in the energy block?”

“Answer: They know.”

“Q: What contraband did you add?”

“Answer: I don’t know.”

"Q: Besides the Jackboot Tavern, who are the other recipients?"

"Answer: The Sloane family's food factory, the Mauros family's promethium refinery, and the Habasik family's clothing factory."

"Question: How did the Water Collection Gang know that there was water purification equipment in the abandoned winery of the Ogas family?"

"Answer: I don't know. The boss didn't tell us."

"Question: Who is your boss? What is his origin?"

"Answer: Our boss' nickname is 'One-Eye', his real name is unknown. He is a native of the ruins area."

"Question: What is the relationship between the Water Absorption Gang and the Reconciliation Cult?"

"Answer: We have a very good relationship with the Mihe Church. Most of the purified water produced by the gang is sent to the bottom nest and handed over to the Mihe Church in exchange for weapons, ammunition and medicine."

and many more.

Exchange pure water and the Reconciliation Church for weapons, ammunition and medicine?

Does Dichao have the production conditions for this?

Li Nuo calmed himself down and continued reading.

“Question: Why does the Bridging Relationship have so many weapons, ammunition, and medicines?”

"Answer: I don't know the details. But I recently heard that the Reconciliation Cult dug through the foundation of the Undernest a few years ago and found a huge treasure trove deep down. Their supplies came from there."

The Q&A session ends here.

It doesn't take much thought to guess that the biochemical transformation technology in the hands of the Mihe Cult most likely comes from the treasure house beneath the bottom nest.

Wick got into the front of the car with a gloomy face.

Li Nuo returned the data tablet and asked, "Do you want to continue to torture this guy?"

Wick waved his hand:

"No, this guy is just a low-level gang member. I asked him a lot, but this is all he knows. Can you operate a steam locomotive? Probably not?"

Li Nuo nodded, "I really can't."

Wick touched his head and frowned:

"This is troublesome. I don't know how to control this antique. The most important thing now is to find and control the consignee. But there are Shangchao nobles behind the consignee, which may intensify the conflict. Forget it, let's get some help and let Chief Delton worry about it."

Wick came to the control panel at the front of the car and stood with his hands on his hips.

Looking at the retro-style wooden levers and mechanical buttons, Wick looked annoyed:
"After getting the gang members' confessions and looking at this locomotive again, I now feel really fucked up. At first I thought it was a modern imitation. But after looking at the confessions, I found that my judgment was wrong. This steam locomotive is likely to come from the treasure house under the bottom nest!

“I can guarantee that if the oil man on Mars knew that we had unearthed antiques of this level, the Healing Cult in the Bottom Nest would be wiped out by the Crusaders in just one night.

"Are the minds of those idiots in the Water Reduction Gang all about defense? How dare they publish this thing?"

Li Nuo agreed with this and nodded repeatedly with an expression that said "I think so too".

Before getting on the train, he inspected the steam locomotive.

This is something that has been repaired and renovated many times.

Most of its parts were produced in the current Great Crusade era, but there were indeed a few small parts that were identified as being thousands of years old.

If you’re not careful, the oil guy might really smell the odor and come over to get involved.

Now it depends on how the Governor mediates with Mars.
