long night fire

There was a violent coughing sound, and someone behind the door approached the cat's eye.

"Who are you and what are you here for?" A slightly hoarse voice with phlegm in the throat asked through the thick wooden door.

"I came to inquire about the news." Shang Jianyao replied according to what Gittes said.

After a few seconds, the door creaked open, and someone coughed twice:

"come in."

Shang Jianyao rushed in immediately, followed by Jiang Baimian and Gnawa who had been hiding aside.

Moore's hair is already gray, but it can be seen that his hair color in his youth is the common golden color of Gerstburg.

He hunched his back slightly, coughed from time to time, his complexion was not very good, and there were many plaques on his skin, giving him a gray and decayed feeling.

At this time, the room was filled with the smell of not cleaning up for a long time, and it was indeed the case.

Moore held a "United 202" in his hand, walked to the window, turned around, and said to Jiang Baimian and others:

"What news do you want to inquire about?"

His eyes lingered longest on Gnava.

When Moore looked away, Gnava raised his right hand and made a gesture to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to circle his thumb and index finger and stretch the other three fingers.

This gesture means that according to the scan and detection, there are no particularly dangerous items in the room, including Moore.

"We want to inquire about something." Shang Jianyao took a few steps forward, took out a knight silver coin that Jiang Baimian had given him in advance, and flicked it at Moore.

After Moore caught the silver coin, he smiled and said:

"This is the deposit."

"You are very generous." Moore's vigilance was obviously lowered, and he no longer controlled his cough.

Shang Jianyao responded immediately:

"Yes.

"Now that you have accepted our money, it is equivalent to agreeing to the establishment of the transaction, and you are a reputable person, and you will definitely not answer our questions or deceive us with fake news."

He directly used the "thinking implant".

The investigation has reached this level, and there is no small possibility of touching people from the Eighth Research Institute. The "Old Tune Group" dare not be careless at all.

Moore's eyes were in a trance and he said:

"What do you want to know?"

Shang Jian Yao asked with a smile:

"Who entrusted you to find Este to buy a batch of rare metals and hand them over to the 'far traveler' business group?"

Moore's expression changed, and his face suddenly twisted.

He seemed to be in an unspeakable struggle, as if there were angels and devils tug-of-war in his mind.

The next second, Moore raised the pistol, pointed it at his head, and tried to pull the trigger.

But because of the change in his expression, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian had already heightened their vigilance, tensed up their spirits, and reacted immediately when they found something wrong.

Snapped!

With his left hand, Jiang Baimian threw a grenade that had not been pulled off the tab, and it hit Moore's hand accurately and fiercely, deflecting his muzzle.

With a bang, the "United 202" fell to the ground.

boom!

A bullet flew unexpectedly in the distance, shattered the window glass, and hit Moore.

Moore's upper body instantly disintegrated, turning into blood clots and spreading around.

Bang, bang, two more gunshots, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao dodged in time.

When they rolled to the dead end of the shooting, the gunfire subsided.

"It's an anti-materiel sniper rifle." Gnava made a judgment based on the severity of the damage to the room and Moore's body.

Jiang Baimian didn't get up immediately, but said in a deep voice:

"Approximate location."

"According to calculations, the enemy is 390 meters away, on the top of the [-]-story building, and has now left." Gnava, who wanted to counter-sniper, failed to do so.

This is beyond the coverage of Shang Jianyao's ability.

The seventeen-story building...that's the building of the Gerstberg Mining Association...Jiang Baimian came out of his hiding place, ran to the window, and gave an order:

"Follow me!"

Although the opponent has already evacuated after chasing him now, there may still be some clues left over there.

Moreover, the anti-material sniper rifle is not so convenient to carry and is relatively conspicuous. If the "old tune team" can get there in time, maybe they can meet some witnesses.

Jiang Baimian did not wear a military exoskeleton device, but relying on his super balance and coordination skills, he jumped down layer by layer with the help of the protruding window sill, and quickly dropped from the top floor to the ground. Shang Jianyao and Gener Wa imitated her, not slow at all, like a flexible ape.

During this process, Jiang Baimian wanted to understand one thing.

That is, Moore should have been implanted in his mind. When he was controlled by someone and tried to tell the information of the Eighth Academy, he would commit suicide in various ways.

Moreover, there is another person hiding in the dark, always monitoring his situation, and killing anyone if something goes wrong.

Chapter 74 Sniper

As soon as it fell to the ground, Jiang Baimian rushed to where the jeep was, and said to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen:

"Go to Moore's room to find out if there are any clues related to the Eighth Research Institute, and then wait for the sheriff of Fort Gerst to come."

This is an orderly place, and it is an important settlement for the subordinates of the "White Knights". When this kind of thing happened, it is impossible to be in the wilderness, and no one cares about how many people die. Therefore, the "Old Tune Group" must Consider the existence of official forces and cooperate to a certain extent, so as not to be able to investigate in Gerstburg in the future, which will seriously affect the progress.

The most important thing is that the "White Knights" is a big force, and it's not that there are no strong men. Maybe Gerstberg will fall asleep.

Once they are exposed, the official forces in the open and the Eighth Research Institute in the dark are enough to make them very uncomfortable, and they will be finished if they are not careful.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong heard the sound of broken glass and knew that something had happened above, so they left the jeep and ran into the apartment in front without further ado.

Because they will cooperate with the Sheriff of Fort Gerst to conduct an investigation, they only brought basic weapons and walkie-talkies, and did not carry military exoskeleton devices or bionic smart armor.

At the same time, without thinking too much, Jiang Baimian opened the door and sat directly in the driving seat.

Shang Jian Yao glanced at it, hurriedly got into the co-pilot, and shouted:

"Follow my command!"

Jiang Baimian let out an "uh", came to his senses, and did not try to be brave.

After Gnawa got on the jeep, Shang Jianyao began to give directions.

The distance between here and the building of the Mining Federation is only 400 meters. If you take the avenue instead of the alley, the route is not complicated. Therefore, the "Old Tune Group" did not get lost, and soon arrived at the brown-yellow outer wall. destination.

There is a small square in front of the building. There are not too many people at this time, coming and going, no one stays.

As soon as the car was parked, Jiang Baimian and others pushed the door out, crossed the square, and rushed to the main entrance of the Mining Association.

There were many guards with live ammunition, and when they saw two humans "assaulting" with a robot, they all became nervous and raised their guns one after another.

Just when the captain of this group of guards was about to give a warning and stop the intruders, Shang Jianyao shouted:

"Don't be afraid, your own people!"

The word "our own people" was deeply imprinted in the minds of the guards, and they relaxed one after another and lowered their guns.

"What happened, so urgent?" The captain of the guard asked curiously.

Seeing that Yao was rushing towards them like a gust of wind, Shang replied simply:

"There are snipers on the roof!"

He ran past the guards, leaving a trail in the wind:

"Kill Old Moore..."

The guards of the Mining Federation suddenly realized and believed it.

A few seconds later, Jiang Baimian and others entered the lobby of the Mining Federation. The hall was paved with stones dug out of the mountain, decorated gorgeously, resplendent in gold and jade, and spacious enough for two teams to play basketball.

Before the woman in charge of reception at the front desk had time to ask who she was looking for and what was the matter, she saw the group of people rushing to the elevator, leaving only the sound of echoing footsteps.

She froze for a few seconds, picked up the phone and notified her boss.

"There is an elevator, as expected of the Mining Federation." Shang Jianyao pressed the button with great satisfaction.

While waiting for the elevator, Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to catch his breath:

"After all, it is the pillar industry of Gerstburg."

Raised one rich man after another.

She then looked around and said thoughtfully:

"There is no camera installed in the elevator...

"On the 'White Knights' side, is there such a shortage of electronic products?"

So much so that in places like the Mining Federation, there are not a few surveillance cameras in sight.

"It seems so." Gnava responded based on the information collected so far.

Shang Jian Yao smiled and said:

"Maybe it's just that some people don't want to install it so it doesn't get in the way."

No one responded to him, because the elevator came to the ground floor, and the hall door and compartment door opened.

Jiang Baimian and Gnawa took the lead in the elevator, and Shang Jianyao was not too slow.

"There is a camera here." Jiang Baimian raised his head and looked above his eyes.

Shang Jianyao raised his hands without hesitation, pressed the corners of his eyes and mouth, and made a face at the camera.

With the elevator, the "Old Tune Group" team quickly reached the top floor, passed the stairs next to it, and went up to the rooftop.

After finding the shooting position calculated by Gnawa, the three of them dispersed to conduct trace inspection and on-site search.

"It's indeed here..." It didn't take long for Gnava to come to a conclusion.

"Hmm." Jiang Baimian nodded first, then frowned and said, "There is no other clue, we can only preliminarily judge that he left through the stairs."

They did not find the items left by the sniper at the scene, nor did they find fingerprints and other things left by the other party.

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it is indeed the case." Gnava agreed.

Shangjian Yao clasped his right fist and punched his left palm and said:

"He knows there are cameras in the elevator!"

"Chase it down and have a look." Jiang Baimian gave the order.

The seventeenth floor was not too high for the three of them, and the physical exertion was quite small just going down the stairs. After a while, they returned to the ground floor and found that the exit of the stairwell was very close to the back door of the building.

And going out from here is a section of wall and a sentry post.

Outside the sentry post, because it was working hours, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and they came and went in a hurry.

"Did you see someone just now?" Shang Jianyao asked several guards in the guard post.

Jiang Baimian helped to add:

"He was carrying a relatively long suitcase, or carrying it on his back."

The guards thought it was the sheriff who was investigating something, recalled it carefully, and shook their heads one after another:

"never seen it."

"Did anyone leave this door in the previous 10 minutes?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Those guards gave a negative answer again.

Looking at each other, Shang Jianyao and the others returned to the stairwell.

"Either that person didn't leave the building at all, or he influenced the guards to make them ignore his existence, well, the possibility of memory deletion cannot be ruled out..." Jiang Baimian whispered to himself.

The reason for not considering the situation of climbing over the wall is that as soon as you leave the back door of the building, you will be seen by the soldiers inside the sentry post.

Gnava went on to say:
