long night fire

"Have you studied?"

Gittes probably didn't expect the other party to pay attention to this point, and she replied sullenly after a while:

"No."

"Then you are very talented!" Shang Jian Yaoyu said earnestly, "In the future, if you have the opportunity, you must learn it and don't waste your talent."

At this time, Jiang Baimian and others also gathered around the front desk, and saw Gittes drawing a person in a sketch.

Honest Gnawa refuted Shang Jianyao's statement:

"No matter how good the painting is, it doesn't mean anything. You can't support yourself with it."

Gittes couldn't help but looked up, her eyes moved back and forth between Gnawa and Shang Jianyao several times.

She didn't seem to have seen an intelligent robot that dared to argue with its master on such a trivial matter.

"Old Ge, have you forgotten? All the nobles in the 'First City' like trainers and painters." Shang Jianyao argued hard.

Gnava revised his rhetoric:

"I mean, it doesn't make much sense in the 'White Knights', the ethos here is one of simplicity."

"Look at Esther's house, how simple is it?" Shang Jianyao snorted.

The two talked farther and farther until Gittes finished the portrait of the character.

Jiang Baimian reached out to take it, and saw a man wearing a knee-length coat on it.

He was carrying a rectangular wooden box on his back, his hair was cut very short, and the bridge of his nose was so high that it was a bit misshapen but not too exaggerated.

On the whole, this man has no characteristics that can be remembered at a glance. It is difficult to outline a specific image if it is really necessary to describe it with words.

"Brown hair, yellow eyes." Gittes added.

"Is this the sniper?" Long Yuehong asked back in disbelief.

Gittes nodded, spread her right palm and said:

"Two big knight gold coins.

"When you find it and confirm it, then pay the remaining eight coins."

"You miscalculated." Shang Jianyao corrected, "We still have a deposit of ten knight silver coins with you, which needs to be deducted."

Gittes was momentarily at a loss for words, and her expression was a little dazed.

Although Jiang Baimian still felt that this matter was quite miraculous, he still took out the only two big knight gold coins and handed them to Gittes.

She pressed on:

"Can you confirm which direction the sniper is going?"

Gittes wanted to return the portrait, lowered her head again, and began to paint.

Soon, the stick figure map appeared in the eyes of the "Old Tune Group".

"It's probably such a route. He should have detoured into the neighborhood where Moore lived in the end." Gittes stopped the pen in her hand.

She acted as if she had witnessed the whole process of the sniper's escape... Jiang Baimian felt this way spontaneously.

This made her wonder whether Gittes or one of her important informants could look through memories on a large scale, or how could it be done to this extent.

Of course, the ability to achieve similar effects is definitely not limited to the ability to "look through memory".

Considering that Gittes is at work today and cannot go out to make judgments, her collaborators are more likely to find the whereabouts of the sniper. After all, abilities are limited by distance. The "Fire and Iron" hotel is about one kilometer away from the Mining Federation. Shang Jianyao explored the depths of the "spiritual corridor" and tried to sit here and influence the human beings over there, let alone others.

Unless Gittes is a strong person in the "New World", or simply has the grace to hold the age.

"He actually went back to the block where Moore lived? We didn't run into each other!" Shang Jianyao suddenly sighed.

Jiang Baimian looked at Gittes and asked solemnly:

"Any other clues?"

Gittes seemed to have entered her own world just now, she trembled when she heard the words, and regained her sobriety:

"No.

"But I think the information I provided is definitely worth ten big knight gold coins."

"If it's true." Jiang Baimian nodded.

Saying goodbye to this mysterious and powerful intelligence businessman, the five members of the "Old Tune Group" took the portrait of the character, walked out of the hall, and got into the jeep.

After the vehicle started, Long Yuehong in the back row looked back at the "Fire and Iron" Hotel, unable to hide her surprise and said:

"Where did Gittes get the information from?

"It's as if most of the residents of Fort Gerst are her informants..."

Bai Chen next to him pursed his lips and said:

"Her ability to obtain information is indeed the strongest I have ever seen."

"What if most of the residents of Fort Gerst are really her informants? For example, she has the 'Sky Eye'. She has been monitoring various things in Fort Gerst through the eyes of a large number of people, and has a lot of information in real time. Yes, that must be the case, and it is precisely because she has been watching the monitoring consisting of hundreds, thousands or even more 'screens' that she often loses her mind and likes to be in a daze!" Confident, "Everything is right!"

If he wasn't driving, he would have applauded himself.

If he didn't pay attention to social morality, he would definitely use the method of clapping the horn instead of clapping.

Honest Gnava reminded:

"'Tianyantong' also has a limited range. The straight-line distance from the 'Fire and Iron' hotel to the Mining Federation building is 970 meters, and Gittes hasn't left her job today."

"That means her informant has 'Sky Eye', no..." Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

It is impossible for the informant to have 'Sky Eye' to cause Gittes to lose concentration and wander off from time to time.

Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said:

"Now is not the time to discuss this, let's think about that sniper."

"He should indeed live near Moore's house. During the day, he can observe from a long distance, and if there is a problem, he can snipe. What should we do at night, let Moore sleep on the window sill?" Bai Chen recalled, "We checked the bedroom at that time. , I didn’t find that the bed was next to the window.”

From her own point of view, Long Yuehong:

"Also, if the sniper is only one person, monitoring Moore day after day and night like this, no matter whether he is physically or mentally, he must have collapsed a long time ago, and it is impossible to persist until now. I doubt that the eighth person who did this There are at least two, or even more, personnel in the research institute, and they take turns to monitor."

"Not bad, everyone's analysis is very reasonable." Jiang Baimian praised sincerely, "Even if there is no information about Gittes, we will slowly narrow the focus of the investigation to Moore after spending a day or two. On that apartment and several surrounding buildings."

"It's a loss! It's a loss of ten big knight gold coins!" Shang Jianyao was heartbroken.

Jiang Baimian shook his head:

"It can shorten our investigation time, and can directly give the portrait of the sniper, so the ten big knight gold coins are not worth too much!

"Well, be careful when you ask around Moore's house. There may be eyeliners from the Eighth Research Institute everywhere. Hey, just 'make friends' when the time comes, and ask after making friends. Ask with a low voice."

"Okay!" Shang Jian Yao was impatient.

Long Yuehong exhaled and asked a question:

"Why did the Eighth Research Institute make things so complicated, and sent two or three people to monitor Moore, wouldn't it be enough to just delete his memory?"

"It may not be easy to find such a useful tool as Moore. It is also very troublesome to 'recruit' him every time. Uh, frequent memory deletion may leave some sequelae, seriously affecting intelligence or thinking ability." Jiang Baimian guessed, "Besides, normally, you should not be able to check with Esther. Who knows that although this person's memory has been deleted, he can still confirm that the client is Moore in some way.

"To be honest, the Eighth Research Institute has set up a firewall here in Moore, which is really very cautious.

"Maybe you are worried that the news will be leaked through other channels?"

During the exchange, Jeep of the "Old Tune Group" came to the block where Moore lived in the crowd of people after get off work.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian got out of the car, took the portrait, and asked the shops around the target apartment one by one.

Under the "mind implantation", no one doubted them, no one felt that this matter needs to be more vigilant, and they all answered their questions seriously.

After only three questions, a middle-aged woman who runs a grocery store pointed to the apartment where Moore lived and said:

"I've seen it. He lives across the street and will come to buy tissues every once in a while."

Chapter 78 Friendly Communication

Hearing the grocery store owner's answer, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were all refreshed, and the red light in Gnawa's eye sockets also flickered twice.

"Do you know which floor and room he lives in?" Jiang Baimian asked.

The boss who had been implanted in her thinking was not puzzled by the "Old Tune Group" asking what to do in such detail, she shook her head and said:

"This person doesn't like to talk, and no one pays attention to him. If he didn't come to buy things often, I might not remember such a person.

"I knew it was the unit he entered. I don't know exactly which floor and which room."

While speaking, the owner of the grocery store stretched out his right hand and pointed to the entrance of the opposite apartment.

That is the corridor leading to Moore's house!

Sniper and Moore live in the same unit in the same condominium!

This is in line with what Bai Chen said was convenient for monitoring at night.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at each other, without asking any further questions, they left the grocery store and walked to the target unit of the target apartment.

They didn't rush in to search, but stayed outside, looking up at the lights that were lit because of the darkness.

"Sixteen human consciousnesses on the first floor." Shang Jianyao said suddenly.

"Sixteen bioelectric signals from human beings." Jiang Baimian did not turn his head, still staring ahead.

This means that there are sixteen people on the first floor, and none of them hide their consciousness.

"Seventeen human consciousnesses on the second floor." Shang Jianyao continued.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"The amount of the bioelectrical signal matched."

In this way, the two quickly compared the data to confirm the situation.

Not long after, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao affirmed that all humans in this unit have not hidden their consciousness.

In other words, Shang Jianyao can exert influence on these hundreds of people at the same time, and there will be no omissions.

In the next second, Shang Jianyao took out the blue and white loudspeaker from the tactical backpack, and shouted at the unit:

"Dear residents, we are the staff of the Electricity Safety Committee. We are here today to check the electrical wiring of this apartment. Please open the door as soon as you hear the knock on the door and cooperate with us..."

After such a conversation, Jiang Baimian believed that no one in the unit would doubt the investigation of the "old tune team", and neither did the sniper and his companions.

She then turned her head and said to Gnava:

"Old Ge, prepare the anesthesia bullet."

The goal of the "Old Tune Group" this time is to make it alive!

"Okay." Gnava quickly adjusted the configuration of the weapon.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jian Yao immediately entered the apartment, followed by Jiang Baimian.

They knocked on the door from house to house, checked the electrical and electrical wires in a decent way, and at the same time observed whether the people in the house were the same as the portrait given by Gittes.

In this way, the old tune group came all the way to the top floor.

The first thing they knocked on was the room facing the stairs, which was also next door to Moore's house.

Pong pong!

"Check the meter, circuit, and wires!" Shang Jianyao shouted loudly while beating on the wooden door.

After seven or eight seconds, the door opened backwards.

The person who opened the door was a 27-year-old man. He had long light yellow hair, black bags under the blue eyes that could not be concealed, and was wearing brightly colored clothes. He was very artistic.

This is obviously not like the sniper in the sketch.

"Why did you come to check the circuit and wires all of a sudden at night?" the long-haired man asked slightly puzzled.

"Most people have to work during the day, and we can't get in when we come." Shang Jianyao walked past the man confidently and walked into the room.

According to the induction between him and Jiang Baimian, there are two people living here, and there is another person in the room that needs to be confirmed.

At a glance, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian didn't see half of them, but only found two pieces of rough-skinned tree roots and a stack of yellowish paper towels on the coffee table.

The corresponding human consciousness disappeared at some point.

According to the induction result of the bioelectric signal, Jiang Baimian's gaze swept across the sofa beside the coffee table.
