After chasing for a while, I found Gou Shan whose right footprint was also broken.
Obviously realized that he was played by that cunning guy.
For a while, the mood was also bad.
Return to the original position again.
The surrounding footprints have long been trampled by themselves.
It is hopeless to find that white guy again.
After returning to the camp.
Listening to Gou Shan's narration, Jiang Yan and others frowned.
According to this statement, the other party is really unexpectedly cunning.
In any case, their investigation work cannot be stopped because of this.
Since you can't catch the opponent, you can only strengthen your defenses.
During the exploration team's geological exploration and search for mineral veins.
The kobold short spearmen and the northern warriors all dispersed towards the surroundings.
Make sure those cunning guys are no longer lurking quietly under their noses.
Facing such guards.
For some time to come, the members of the investigation team did not see those white guys again.
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that the other party appeared, but they did not find out.
Day by day.
After a week of exploration and confirmation.
They finally figured out the approximate location of the vein.
At the same time, the ore brought back to the camp for inspection before has also been confirmed to be copper ore.
Although there are several copper veins in their Myriad Realms civilization.
However, copper is an important metal vein.
Naturally, the more the better.
Every time one was found, Luo Ji would be rewarded heavily.
This generous reward is enough for the members of the investigation team to celebrate.
The gang leaders in the camp rolled up their sleeves and walked into the tent where the supplies were placed.
I plan to prepare a sumptuous dinner to celebrate the achievements of the past two months.
"Huh? Where's the salt? Where did you put the salt bag?"
One of the gang leaders looked left and right, but he couldn't find the bag of salt after searching.
In the supplies tent, another older guy, after hearing this, answered casually
"I remember the salt was in that corner on the left."
"left?"
The guy who spoke subconsciously looked towards the left side of the tent.
"There is nothing!"
The strange guy in his heart walked two steps forward while talking.
As a result, after approaching, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his legs.
The biting chill made him stomp his feet.
"Hiss! How many months has it been? The wind in the bitter cold place is still so cold?"
As soon as these words were said, the leader of the gang froze.
"Wind? Wait! How can there be wind in the tent?"
Subconsciously, he looked back at the curtain at the entrance.
"Besides, the wind blows in the wrong direction"
A bad feeling suddenly arises spontaneously.
Let the gang leader run two steps forward in a hurry.
After pushing away all the grain bags piled up in front of him.
The scene that caught his eyes made his heart twitch violently!
"Crap! Lao Zhang, come here quickly, someone opened a hole in the back of the tent where we store food!!"
Hearing this, the gang leader called Lao Zhang quickly came up.
Looking at the big hole behind the tent, Lao Zhang's face suddenly sank to the bottom.
"Call everyone over and count the supplies! Check the other tents where food is stored!"
The movement here quickly caught Jiang Yan's attention.
Returning to the camp, Jiang Yan quickly called a soldier and asked about the situation in the camp.
"What's going on over there?"
"Reporting to Captain Jiang, it was the gang leaders who found holes in the back of several tents where food was stored, and they are now counting supplies."
"A hole opened?"
After hearing the news, Jiang Yan's two eyebrows frowned directly.
"After you have the result, report to me immediately."
After finishing a sentence, the joy of discovering the ore veins in the hearts of everyone in the investigation team was already overwhelmed.The son dilutes a lot.
Food supplies are related to the survival of hundreds of people in the front camp.
It can be said to be the top priority.
What if something goes wrong with this?
The inventory results will come out soon.
When Jiang Yan saw it, his face suddenly turned ugly.
At the beginning of this month, the food supplies just delivered by the food transportation team were directly reduced by one-fifth!
You know, this is food for hundreds of people for a month!
It is conceivable how big the loss of one-fifth is.
Kneading his brows vigorously, Jiang Yan quickly called the scouts in his investigation team, as well as Gou Shan, Hill, Harold and others over.
Although he is the captain of the investigation team.
But investigating this kind of thing is obviously not his specialty.
After a while of deliberation.
? The thorough investigation of the food theft case was handed over to Gou Shan and Hill.
As for Harold, he continued to be in charge of guarding their investigation team.
Gou Shan and Hill, who took over the temporary job, walked around to the back of the camp, intending to confirm the traces of the scene first.
However, in this place of bitter cold, there is snow all year round.
Traces like footprints, smells, etc.
As long as a period of time passes, after the wind and snow blow.
Basically nothing can be found.
"Gou Baihu, did you find anything with your nose?"
Hill's icy blue eyes swept around, and she asked casually, seeing nothing.
Gou Shan shook his head when he heard this.
"No, we don't know when the other party moved. The wind here is too strong. Generally, the smell will be blown away after more than half an hour."
In this regard, Hill expressed his understanding.
Although kobolds have a keen sense of smell, their noses are not omnipotent.
The smell was blown away, which is also impossible.
After telling Jiang Yan the result, Jiang Yan's mood undoubtedly became worse.
"Then what should we do now? There are no clues, how should we investigate?"
"Maybe we can try to wait for the thief to deliver himself."
Just listen to Hill standing in the tent speak slowly
"This batch of food was just delivered at the beginning of the month. The thief stole so much food in such a short period of time, which means that the other party urgently needs a lot of food."
"If my speculation is correct, the thieves should come to steal food again in the short term."
Facing Hill's speculation, Jiang Yan frowned slightly.
"Then what if the thief doesn't show up again?"
"That means that the thief is from the camp, and there are thieves in the camp!"
Hill said this with a firm face.
And after everyone was stunned for a moment, they also reacted one after another.
That's right, if the thief was someone from the camp, the entire camp already knew about the food theft, and the other party would definitely stop in time to avoid being exposed.
But if not, they just have to pretend like nothing happened, and the thieves will come to steal food again in all likelihood.
Just use this method to confirm if there is an inside thief!
