Why it never ends

Chapter 213 New Clues

As the team members returned to the base one by one, Victoria felt an unprecedented calm. From the expressions of the team members, she read a determination similar to her own. This usually indicates that everyone's mission is carried out smoothly. , no one missed.

They entered the underground meeting room here one by one, and everyone was silent until Su Lei stepped into the meeting room, and Victoria got up to greet them. The two solemnly shook hands, greeted each other, and introduced each other's names and identities.

"Thank you for sending Zoe to pick me up," Si Lei said gratefully. "Otherwise, I might have to walk for several days on the way back from the wasteland—but how do you know exactly where I am?"

"Chiba came back last night." Victoria replied, "She said that your investigation in the wasteland has made great progress, and it happened that we have also made great progress, so I asked Zoe to find you this morning. If necessary, next Zoe can always accompany you in the investigation."

"...It's convenient for you?"

"Convenience." Victoria hardly hesitated.

Su Lei was stunned for a while, and the tone of the person in front of him was as simple as saying that he could drive her back to the apartment in a while.

If she knew this, she shouldn't be so anxious to go to the wasteland... At least she should have seen these mercury needles first.

Soon, everyone was seated again, and Victoria first synchronized their news with Su Lei. Too many things happened during the time Su Lei left the habitable place—the two parties of the coalition government and AHgAs The mercury needle fought against the assassin one after another. The assassin disappeared for a while after the Golden Crow Palace was destroyed, and then Rich and Schmidt were killed...

Victoria once again talked about the conversation she had with the assassin at the Central Hospital, which was an extremely important clue: the assassin had confirmed that the next targets of the crime were Tanglar and Villefort.

"I can continue to do the work of these two people," Su Lei volunteered, "I have more experience in negotiating with such people."

"No need," Victoria shook her head, "The core city has officially rejected the temporary asylum of Tanglar and Villefort this afternoon."

"...What?" Su Lei was a little surprised, "But you just—"

"That's why I said hurry up," Victoria smiled, "The opportunity to take those two people to the core city this morning, including the asylum measures that Schmidt won before, all took advantage of Act No. 277 'Emergency Relief Regulations'.

"The Core City has announced this afternoon that the Act will immediately enter a period of 'judicial suspension' and that they will indefinitely postpone all asylum applications for individuals and groups based on the Act until the new revised Act is announced.

"It's not difficult to understand." Victoria's tone was a little euphoric. "Assassins are too dangerous. Just to protect the safety of very few habitable residents, the core city and even the mother city of the third district are placed in The possible danger . . . there is bound to be enormous opposition."

"But it's too much fun?" Su Lei still couldn't believe it, "Just suspend a bill in half a day?"

"I remember that the proposal to urgently suspend Bill 277 should have been put on the agenda by the No. 2 Parliament when Schmidt applied for asylum," Theresa explained softly in a chanting tone. Executed this afternoon."

Victoria sneered, "It's only Tanglar and Villefort who are to blame for not seizing the last chance—I don't know what their expressions will be when they hear the news?"

Endai thought about this and then snorted softly.

"So the final battle against the assassin is Tan Yi, can I understand that?" Si Lei asked.

"Okay." Victoria nodded, and she slid a stack of photos in front of Su Lei, "Another very interesting thing here is that a reporter took the risk of taking a series of photos of the assassin, in line with the previous The image of the assassin we got, the core city gave some basic information about the assassin and potential matches."

A screen appeared behind Victoria. She stood up and began to operate the electronic screen in the air with gestures.

"The actual height of the assassin should be between 186 and 192 cm. She is female and right-handed. There are only two wounds on the left cheek and the right side of the neck—either bruises or scabs. They should all be from the last Golden Crow Palace battle. There should be more wounds on the part of her covered by the cloak."

Everyone held their breaths and watched as Victoria waved a gesture and called out a list.

"The fourteen names here are the list of possible assassins matched based on the existing image information. It is the result of unsupervised screening made by a certain set of motion analysis algorithms with reference to all previous mercury needle training data-but please don't take it This list is taken too seriously, because the people with the highest match here have been completely excluded."

On the list, Jane Hesta's name was at the top of the list, and her fitting degree was as high as 91.2%. She was the only mercury needle selected by everyone to reach 70%.

"Wait, this match is too high," Su Lei couldn't help but interrupt, "I have an impression of this person, the reason why she was ruled out as an assassin before was because she wasn't in the third district at the time, right? "

"Not only, but the more specific part is that we cannot explain to you too much because of the confidentiality involved. She is not just 'absent', but this person has been in detention during this period."

Su Lei was startled, but didn't say a word—she remembered that Qianye said "Hesta is on a special mission" before, which didn't match what Victoria said.

"More importantly," Victoria paused, "Ende, tell me."

Ende looked at Si Lei, "I went to the place where Jane Hesta was detained at noon today, and reviewed her surveillance video for half a month - she stayed there when all the assassins appeared , did not go anywhere. By the way, I also took some pictures of Hesta..."

Victoria flicked the screen again, and some partial photos appeared on the screen. They were the cheeks, neck, shoulders and limbs of the woman. Except for a scratch on the calf and ankle, the skin in the photos was basically undamaged.

"There is no trace of combat on her body at all." Ende said, "Hersta himself has not been out during this period, that is certain."

"Fine, is there anything else that needs to be synced?"

"Hmm..." Endai thought for a while, "By the way, Chiba also went there this morning, and I was on the same page as me. It is said that they chatted for half an hour, but I don't know what it was about."

"It's normal," Victoria raised her head. "How was the result of today's trial?"

"There is no trial. I heard it was postponed until the morning of the day after tomorrow."
