long night fire

"On the street from the back door, most people seem to have to work. No one is at home during the day, so it is difficult to have witnesses."

Perhaps some pedestrians passing by encountered snipers, but these pedestrians have already left here, and the "Old Tune Group" will not be able to find them for a while.

Shang Jianyao suggested:

"Search the entire building, talk to everyone, and watch the surveillance video by the way."

"It will take too much time, and the sheriff of Gerstburg should be here soon, so he won't give us this chance." Jiang Baimian thought for a while, and smiled a little, "Hey, you and I will go back to Moore There is an investigation there, Old Ge, you stay nearby, find a place to monitor the front and rear doors of the building, and see if that person will show up and leave swaggeringly after we 'give up'."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao applauded for this idea.

This is called leading a snake out of its hole.

……

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao drove the jeep back to Moore's apartment without any disguise.

At this time, two sheriff's cars with white background and blue stripes were parked downstairs.

"It's still pretty fast." Shang Jian Yao praised.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"This shows that Gerstburg is still relatively orderly."

The two chatted, and all the way to the top floor, they saw two security guards wearing bulletproof breastplates guarding the door.

"Who are you?" one of the security guards who was taller than Shang Jianyao asked in a low voice.

"Witness." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile.

After being notified, the two were allowed to enter the house and saw Bai Chen and Long Yuehong being investigated by a security officer.

The sheriff had a bushy blond beard, blue eyes, and was indiscernible in age, but not more than fifty.

Pointing at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, he said to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:

"This is your companion?"

"Yes." Bai Chen and Long Yuehong nodded at the same time.

The magistrate then looked at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, and said:

"According to other witnesses, it was the two of you who came into the apartment to visit Moore."

"That's right." Jiang Baimian replied calmly, "We did witness Moore being shot, but obviously, it has nothing to do with us. The bullet came from outside the window, from a distance."

The on-site inspection can fully prove this point, the sheriff with the golden beard did not question, nodded and asked:

"What are you looking for Moore, why did you leave in a hurry after the accident?"

"Ask him for information, don't you know that he is an intelligence dealer? The answer to the latter question is to go after that sniper." Jiang Baimian smiled, "We are relic hunters, and this kind of opportunity to make a fortune is impossible. Missed, I think, you shouldn’t be stingy with rewards, right? Besides, didn’t we leave our companions to protect the scene, waiting for your investigation?”

Without waiting for the magistrate to ask further questions, Shangjian Yaoyin interjected coldly:

"If we really wanted to kill Moore, we would not choose this time, in this way, but first control him, pretend that he is all right, and then secretly take him to the factory area, find an opportunity to throw him into the molten iron inside."

The audience was silent for a while.

Chapter 75 Get Out

The security officer was silent for a while and said:

"Judging from the situation at the scene, Moore was indeed not killed by you.

"Our 'White Knights' has always been fair and will not wrong innocent people, but you, as witnesses, are obliged to answer some of my questions."

"No problem." Jiang Baimian was indeed frank on this matter.

The sheriff looked around, considering the order of the questions.

At this time, the polite Shang Jianyao asked:

"I don't know what to call you?"

"Yergai." The sheriff replied briefly, and then got to the point, "What are you looking for Moore to inquire about?"

"The mysterious disappearance of the goods of Smith's 'Far Traveler' business group." Jiang Baimian told the truth.

As a veteran local magistrate, Ye Ergai heard about this rather weird incident, and asked in a little surprise:

"Moore is related to this matter? Or, do you want to buy corresponding information from him?"

"We know from a certain person that some of the goods that evaporated out of thin air were purchased and collected by Moore." Jiang Baimian did not give Ye Ergai a chance to ask who it was, and emphasized, "We promised Keep it a secret for that person, and I cannot tell you his identity."

Yergay stroked his golden beard:

"I will continue to investigate. If it is really necessary in the future, this matter is not something you don't need to talk about if you don't want to talk about it."

What he meant was that according to the rules of the "White Knights", when it comes to vicious cases, the agreement between private parties is lower than the interests of the public. At that time, if the "Old Investigation Group" still wants to keep it secret, it will face coercive measures.

"Understood." Jiang Baimian didn't bother with this question.

She doesn't necessarily have to keep secrets for Esther. In the sphere of influence of the "White Knights", she acts according to the rules of the "White Knights", and no one can find fault.

Yeergai nodded in satisfaction, looked at the shattered glass window and said:

"Describe the situation at that time in detail."

Jiang Baimian talked about it without missing any details, but concealed that Shang Jianyao had used his ability on Moore.

At the end, Ye Ergai frowned:

"Did Moore take the initiative to walk to the window with his back to the outside?

"When he heard you asking who entrusted him to collect supplies and hand them over to the 'far traveler' business group, he was struggling and seemed to want to commit suicide?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao gave full affirmation, and Jiang Baimian also nodded.

Yeergay touched the beard next to his mouth again, and whispered to himself:

"There is a lot of trouble hidden behind the missing cargo. I have to report to the deputy head as soon as possible..."

"Which deputy head?" Shang Jianyao asked with bright eyes.

If it was Iman, then the "Old Tune Team" might be able to take the opportunity to build a relationship and complete the "visit" mission.

——Iman is in the five-person list given by Gittes, and the "Old Tune Group" has already visited Esther and Moore.

Yeergai was vigilant:

"Deputy Captain Pollard, is there a question?"

The great knight Javier has more than one assistant.

"No, just a little curious." Shang Jianyao replied quite sincerely.

Yeergai did not continue this topic, but asked instead:

"Where did you chase after?"

"The building of the Mining Federation." Jiang Baimian replied, "You know, we have a robot that calculated the ballistic trajectory on the spot and found the sniper on the roof of that building."

Then, she focused on the tracking and survey results of herself and others, and finally explained why Gnawa was not here:

"We don't have enough manpower to check the interior of the building. We can only let the robot guard there and monitor the people entering and exiting the front and rear doors."

Yeergai thought for a few seconds and said:

"Thank you for your cooperation, you have no suspicions for the time being, you can leave, but don't leave Gerstburg recently, because you may be asked to assist in the investigation at any time.

"Where do you live now?"

"'Fire and Iron' Hotel." Jiang Baimian asked tentatively, "Mr. Sheriff, have you ever thought of entrusting us to investigate this matter? Our charges are very reasonable and we have sufficient knowledge of the case."

She wanted to intervene in the tracking of the sniper in the most reasonable way.

Once that person can be caught in a short time, it means that the tail of the Eighth Research Institute has been caught.

Yeergai looked at the group of people in surprise:

"Are you hoping to figure out the mystery of the disappearance of the cargo through the gunman, or do you want to take the opportunity to earn some bounties?"

"It's all there." Jiang Baimian laughed.

Yeergai wiped his beard and said:

"In the beginning, we will definitely investigate by ourselves. If there are indeed difficulties and we cannot solve them temporarily, we will consider issuing tasks in the Hunter's Guild."

He said it very cautiously, without patting his chest to guarantee, after all, this is not something he can decide.

——In most places on the gray soil, the main role of security guards and policemen is to maintain order, not to solve cases. When they encounter relatively simple cases, they can be solved easily. Once the matter is relatively complicated, they will fall into a shortage of manpower , It is difficult to assign a team to deal with a difficult and miscellaneous case for a long time, so we can only rely on the help of the relic hunters.

"You can consider us directly." Jiang Baimian did not show any urgency to follow up, but just reiterated his attitude of waiting for others.

She then reminded Yeergai a few words:

"The sniper may still be hiding in the building, you have to investigate in time, he might slip away if it's too late.

"You also need to watch the surveillance video. Although the camera is only installed in the elevator, and the sniper used the stairs to evacuate, but when he entered the building, things hadn't developed to the point where he had to shoot and kill Moore. He might not So be cautious, maybe take the elevator."

"Your companion told me about the suspected location of the shooter before, and my colleagues have already rushed there." Ye Ergai didn't reprimand Jiang Baimian for being nosy, but he also seemed a little impatient.

How many of you relic hunters are needed to teach the sheriff's investigation case in Fort Gerst?

Jiang Baimian didn't say much, and led several members of the "Old Tune Group" out of Moore's house and got into the jeep.

During the drive to the building of the Mining Federation, Long Yuehong, who was in the co-driver's position, took the initiative to say:

"I think the sniper has left, and he is an awakened one at the same time, and the guards are affected by his ability, ignoring or forgetting the corresponding scene."

Crack, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm and said:

"The target is still in the building!"

When Long Yuehong was speechless, Jiang Baimian rubbed her forehead:

"Seriously."

Shang Jian Yao's expression changed, and he said seriously:

"I think there is a high probability that Yeergai and the others will not be able to investigate anything. We will take over later, where should we start?"

The fact that Gerstburg’s official forces couldn’t find out means that there was no sniper on the surveillance video, and everyone in the building had no smoke reaction, and the anti-material sniper rifle couldn’t be found, and the guards really didn’t remember that there was one. Such a person leaves.

As for the investigation of witnesses from the pedestrians, it is a protracted matter, and the sheriffs will definitely hand it over to the relic hunters.

Bai Chen who was driving said immediately:

"Let Lao Ge check whether the surveillance video has been deleted or interfered with."

"This is one aspect." Jiang Baimian added, "The other aspect is to ask all the way along the street from the back door. The main target is the owner or employee of the shop on the street."

This would be a very tedious job as there is more than one route to leave.

Jiang Baimian gave an "um" and said again:

"Also, ask Moore's neighbors and informants.

"It is impossible for the Eighth Research Institute to send someone to spy on him recently, and to silence him if something is wrong. Since he served the Eighth Research Institute, there should be similar personnel around him.

"And for such a long time, the monitors will more or less make some mistakes. No one can keep making mistakes. You can't, and neither can I."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

While the four were talking, Jeep came to the building of the Mining Federation again and picked up Gnava.

"Is anyone out of the building?" Shang Jianyao asked impatiently.

"Before the security guards from Gerstburg came, there were three people who walked through the main entrance. I have already recorded their appearance, and I will do an investigation later." Gnava never disappoints.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian looked at the sky outside the car window, "Let's go find something to eat now, and then go back to the hotel to wait for news."

With funds, they simply had lunch and entered the "Fire and Iron" hotel.

Gittes is still the receptionist at day shift today.

Her eyes were glazed over, and she didn't know what to think. When she saw the "Old Tune Group" come back, she immediately regained her energy:

"Moore is dead?"

"You are really well informed." Shang Jianyao praised sincerely.

Gittes was not proud of it, she was in a daze and said:

"Many people know about the closure of the Mining Federation building."
