The next morning, several people got up early and packed their equipment.

"Old Cai, go and Wen Jing to find out about the other deceased persons and learn as much as possible. But be careful not to expose yourself," said Lin Yi.

"understood."

After arranging the tasks, the four of them went their separate ways without wasting any more time.

Cai Dongyi and Sheng Wenjing left, and soon Celt arrived.

Lin Yi and Ning Che also went downstairs, and they said as they walked:

"Do you think that there is something strange about the deaths of these people?"

Lin Yi nodded, "If we can find common ground in the causes of their deaths, then you can prove that there is something wrong with Zork Mountain."

"You should be able to find this information in the official website, or you can ask Ballmer."

"I thought so at first, but the risk of doing so is not small, so I feel relieved." Lin Yi said:

"Let's ask him about the ruins. There's no risk in this. No other organization is targeting this place, only we are. If we ask him about the deceased, he will most likely suspect that we found clues here. If he is also secretly investigating this matter, there is a high possibility that something will go wrong."

After Lin Yi's reminder, Ning Che also realized the problem. This approach was indeed not a good idea.

"But there is another thing. People from abroad have arrived." Ning Che said:

"I thought of a possibility. Could it be that they knew we were here, and sent someone here just in case?"

This question kept lingering in Ning Che's mind last night, and he didn't sleep well.

If this is true, this mission will be even more difficult. Just relying on the four people at present, it is conceivable how difficult it will be to deal with overseas organizations.

"It's possible, but I don't think it's likely." Lin Yi said:

"First of all, almost no one knows that we are here. Even Ballmer may not know about it, so it is even more impossible for foreign organizations to know about it."

After thinking for a while, Lin Yi continued:

"Besides, I guess foreign organizations may also know about the situation here, and it is unlikely that they will come here to waste manpower and resources. I guess they may have found other clues here, so they came here after smelling the clues."

"If that's the case, if we don't follow up, we might be left behind."

"It doesn't matter. Let Ballmer hold them back first. Let's investigate what's going on here first. If something strange really happens, then there must be something wrong here." Lin Yi's eyes became firm. "So we have to move faster and not waste time."

"Ah."

When the two of them went downstairs, Celt was already there.

He had completed the task that Lin Yi had assigned to him before very well. He had found out information about the deceased in advance, so now he just had to rush over.

"Here is the information about him, you can take a look."

As Celt drove, he handed over a document bag.

Lin Yi took it, opened it and took a look.

The deceased, named Sapkins, was a local and an assistant basketball coach at a local high school. He loved sports. In addition to basketball, his other hobby was mountain climbing, and he was also a well-known mountaineer in the local area.

His wife is named Jenna, an elementary school teacher. They also have a daughter named Ellie who is in primary school. Although the family is not rich, they are considered a well-off family.

The deceased's information was simple and clean, and he wasn't some questionable person.

But we can't see much from this information. To get really useful information, we need to ask his family.

But whether we can find relevant clues or not, we can only pray that everything goes well.

After driving for about an hour, we arrived at a small town.

On the way, Lin Yi also bought some gifts. If he could leave a good impression on the other party, maybe he could find out more things.

Finally, the family of the deceased was found in the local church.

Lin Yi asked Celt to park the car outside and did not disturb them.

When something like this happens, we should try our best to take care of the emotions of the deceased's family.

After waiting for more than half an hour, his wife and daughter came out.

But after they came out, the two got in the car. Lin Yi was still not in a hurry and just followed them until they went home.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Lin Yi didn't plan to wait any longer.

After getting off the car, he walked towards the two of them.

Seeing someone walking towards her, Jenna looked at the three people with a vigilant expression for a long time.

"You are……"

"Hello, we are friends of Sapkins. We feel sorry for his death and would like to talk to you about him. Is that okay?"

She looked at Celt, then at Lin Yi and Ning Che who were standing behind. They were holding gifts in their hands, and Jenna did not refuse.

"Come in with me."

The three were welcomed into the house.

"Honey, go back to your room and get some rest," Jenna said to her daughter.

"I know, Mom."

Ellie left, and there were only four people left in the living room.

"What is your name, please?"

"I'm Kanter, a former colleague of Sapkins."

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Yi asked Celt to use a pseudonym on the way here, so as to ensure the secrecy of the operation to the greatest extent.

Jenna was tired and didn't think much about it.

After all, she didn't know all of Sapkins' friends.

"What do you want to know?"

"I know him. He has excellent mountaineering skills. A mere Mount Zork is no problem for him." Celt said seriously, as if he was really a friend of Sapkins.

"That's what I thought. I didn't expect anything to happen to him," Jenna said tiredly.

cough cough-

Lin Yi coughed lightly a few times as a reminder to Celt to ask the questions he had prepared.

But Jenna didn't notice this and thought Lin Yi just had a sore throat.

"Zorke isn't that tall. With his personality, he should have climbed a higher mountain. Why would he climb Mount Zorke?"

"Last month, we went on vacation to Mount Zork. After he finished fishing that day, he fell asleep in this tent. He said he had a dream in which someone told him to conquer Mount Zork. After he told me about it, I didn't take it seriously, and neither did he. After the vacation, we went home." Jenna said:

"But after returning home, he said he had several more of the same dreams. He said it might be God's guidance, so he packed up his equipment and went to Mount Zork, and never came back."
