Why it never ends

Chapter 179

Victoria looked down at him, "What?"

"When we played against 'Assassin' last night, no foreign aid showed up." Avinash's eyes were half-opened, "I guess, your group was probably busy with Rishi-related matters at that time, and it's okay if they didn't show up." Excuse me... but why didn't AHgAs send someone?"

"that is because--"

"On the night when the assassin delivered us the photo album," Avinash cut off Victoria's words heavily, but his voice quickly softened again, "If I remember correctly, after Chiba started chasing us, There were at least three AHgAs' mercury needles coming from elsewhere at once - you were one of them, right?"

"That's right," Victoria replied, "AHgAs has sent twelve mercury needles with critical combat experience here, and that's us."

"In other words, your team is the tentative upper limit set by AHgAs in the 'killing photography' case. In the future, no matter how much noise the assassin makes in Tanyi, as long as its target is still a very small number of civilians in a habitable place. Without expansion, as long as it still shows extremely low infectivity and harm, then AHgAs should not invest more manpower in this case... Can I understand that?"

"can."

"That's good." Avinash nodded, "That matter doesn't seem so difficult to explain, after all, we just don't want to take the risk of confronting the 'Assassin' - at this point, I can't see that we what's the difference."

"Don't change the concept secretly," Victoria retorted immediately, "If the assassin went after Schmidt last night, I would never accuse you, but you could have told Schmidt in advance last night -"

"Let me reiterate that it was Schmidt's own decision to drive to the core city last night." Avinash said softly, "I can indeed inform him of the risks of doing so in advance, but why should I do this? I My duty is to find out the identity of the assassin as soon as possible and stop his rampant activities in Tanyi. Since Schmidt just happened to provide me with such an opportunity, why didn't I accept it?

"The old inspector is voluntary, and he did use his life to clear some obstacles for us to track down the assassin. Next, I will consider applying for some posthumous honors for him. After all, his performance last night was quite brave... …As for you being so outraged that you came here to accuse me of my behavior, to be honest, I don’t understand.”

Avinash picked up the storage device containing the image of the assassin, and slid it down the smooth table in front of Victoria.

"This video, please submit it to the headquarters of AHgAs as soon as possible. Even if the assassin imitated some chelate, I believe that the information in the screen must have its value. I will wait for your analysis results."

Avinash looked at the subordinates around him, "Do you have any questions?"

The subordinates shook their heads.

"This is the end of today's meeting." Avinash stood up, and he looked at Victoria, "We have been busy all night, we have to rest."

Speaking of this, he laughed, "Let me see how the mercury needles of AHgAs are different from ours. The safety of Viscount Lixi depends on you tonight."

"Avinash."

Victoria, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly called out to him, and Avinash, who had already walked to the table, stopped, "What?"

"Do you always use other people's lives as tools so easily?"

"It depends."

"Then please be more careful." Victoria turned her face sideways, her eyes that were always full of smiles were staring at him coldly at the moment, "Maybe at some point, the same fate will befall you .”

"Really," Avinash said with a smile, "I think that people like you who have too much sympathy are more likely to die, especially in mercury needles. You should take care of yourself."

Seeing that Victoria was about to speak to the next sentence, Avinash immediately turned his head and walked out of the door of the meeting room. His subordinates slammed the door hard, as if this could make up for the panic of being questioned just now.

The light and fresh wind in the corridor finally made Avinash heave a sigh of relief, but then, he saw Pauler standing at the end of the corridor watching, as if he wanted to come over to talk to him.

This made Avinash suddenly annoyed, he quickly looked away and walked towards the exit, but Pauler still approached him ignorantly, expressing that he had important news to synchronize with Avinash.

"Let's just say that." Avinash said as he walked, he didn't want to stay in the police station for another second.

Paula was a little surprised, but he followed closely and lowered his voice, "Did the old inspector invite a priest from the Basilica of Our Lady of the Candle Table last night?"

"...Where did you get the news from?"

"This morning, a nun found an old priest in the confession room of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Wax Table. The old Inspector confessed—”

Avinash frowned, "Is this old priest still alive?"

"Alive." Pauler nodded again and again, "the church did not lose any valuables, and the old priest was not injured, but his coat was ripped off, and he slept in the confessional for another night, and his joints couldn't bear it—"

Hearing this, Avinash felt his scalp tingle, and he almost immediately realized that the assassin's behavior last night was his Plan B—if Schmidt chose to meet the priest last night, then there was a high probability that he would be on the train. Meet Schmidt in the confessional.

Whether it is "wanting to find a priest to confess" or "cancel the meeting", these are all decisions made by Schmidt on the spur of the moment. The assassin's ability to make such adjustments shows that it has far more control over the whole matter than own imagination.

"Did the old priest see clearly what the person who held him hostage last night looked like?" Avinash asked.

"No, it's too dark, and the other party immediately put a hood on him, so I couldn't see anything clearly... I remember that you encountered the assassin at Tanyi North Station last night, I guess—"

Avinash snorted softly, "Schmidt didn't see the priest last night."

"what?"

"Yes, I haven't seen it, so I'm not sure whether this matter has anything to do with the case. You can tell Victoria about it directly in a while, and you don't need to look for me again."

After throwing away these words, Avinash left without looking back, leaving Paul at a loss.

……

After leaving the gate of the police station, several subordinates of Avinash breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, your reaction just now was really exciting, I mean in the conference room."

"Yeah, I was told by that girl that I was in a daze, and I really wanted to grab her and beat her—"

Avinash glanced at the people nearby, "I've said it many times, you must learn to control your emotions."

"... That's too difficult! Aren't you angry when she said those stupid things just now?"

"What's the use of being angry," Avinash said with his usual calm face, "I told you a long time ago that anger is the most useless emotion in this world, it will only destroy our peace, never Allow yourself to be seized by such baser impulses."

The rest of the people were half sighing, half admiring, "Understood."
