Embers Ad Infinitum

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 Gustburg to come." 2

​​

This is an orderly place and an important settlement for the subordinates of the "White Knights". It is impossible for this kind of thing to happen in the wilderness. No one cares how many people die. Therefore, the "Old Tune Group" must be Consider the existence of official forces and cooperate to a certain extent, so as not to have to hide and investigate in Gerstburg later, 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 people. Maybe Gustburg will fall asleep. It's not that easy for the "old tune group" to really want to overturn the river here. 11

​​

Once they are exposed, the official forces on the bright side and the secret Eighth Research Institute will be 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 glass breaking and knew that something had changed, so they left the jeep and ran into the apartment in front.

​​

Because they had to cooperate with the sheriff of Gustburg in the investigation, they only brought basic weapons and walkie-talkies, but did not carry military exoskeleton devices and bionic intelligent armor.

​​

At the same time, Jiang Baimian didn't think much, opened the car door, and sat directly in the driving position. . 1

​​

Shang Jianyao glanced at it, hurriedly got into the co-pilot, and shouted: 1

​​

"Follow my command!" 9

​​

Jiang Baimian let out an "uh" and woke up, but didn't try to be brave. 3

​​

When Genava got on the jeep, Shang Jian Yao began to show the way. 3

​​

It looks like it is only 400 meters away from the building of the Mining Federation. 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 exterior wall. yellow destination. 1

​​

There was a small square in front of the building. At this time, there were not too many people, and no one stayed.

​​

As soon as the car was parked, Jiang Baimian and the others pushed open the door, walked across the square, and ran towards the main entrance of the Mining Federation.

​​

There were a number of guards with live ammunition, and when they saw two humans "attack" 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 to stop the intruders, Shang Jianyao shouted loudly:

​​

"Don't be afraid, your own people!" 6

​​

The word "one's own person" was deeply imprinted in the minds of the guards, and they relaxed one after another and lowered their muzzles.

​​

"What happened, in such a hurry?" the captain of the guard asked curiously.

​​

Shang Jianyao rushed towards them like a gust of wind, and replied simply:

​​

"There are snipers on the roof!"

​​

He ran past the guards and left a final note in the wind:

​​

"Kill Old Moore..." 1

​​

The guards of the Mining Federation suddenly realized and believed it. 1

​​

A few seconds later, Jiang Baimian and the others entered the hall of the Mining Federation. It was paved with stones dug out of the mountains. It was decorated ornate and resplendent. It was spacious enough that two teams of people could play basketball.

​​

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

​​

She was stunned for a few seconds, then picked up the phone and informed her boss.

​​

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

​​

While waiting for the elevator, Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to take a 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 in the elevator... 1

​​

"Is there such a shortage of electronic products on the 'White Knights' side?"

​​

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

​​

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

​​

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

​​

"Maybe it's just that some people don't want to install it, so as not to get in the way."1

​​

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

​​

Jiang Baimian and Genawa took the lead in the elevator, and Shang Jian Yao was not too slow.

​​

"There are cameras here." Jiang Baimian looked up.

​​

Shang Jianyao raised his hands without hesitation, held the corners of his eyes and mouth, and made a face at the camera. 4

​​

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

​​

After finding the shooting location calculated by Genova, the three spread out and started trace inspection and on-site search.

​​

"It is indeed here..." After a while, Genova came to a conclusion.

​​

"Well." Jiang Baimian nodded first, then frowned and said, "There is no other clue, I 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 or other things left by the other party.

"According to the situation on site, it is indeed the case." Genova agreed.

​​

Gu Xiu

Shang Jianyao snapped his right fist and left palm and said:

​​

"He knows there are cameras in the elevator!"

​​

"Come on and have a look." Jiang Baimian gave an order.

​​

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

​​

And from here, there is a section of fence and a sentry.

​​

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

​​

"Did you see someone just now?" Shang Jianyao asked the guards at the post.

​​

Jiang Baimian helped add:

​​

"He was carrying a longer box, or carrying it on his back."

​​

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

​​

"never seen it."

​​

"Did anyone leave this door within ten minutes before that?" Jiang Baimian asked.

​​

The 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 and made them ignore his existence. Well, the possibility of erasing his memory is not ruled out..." Jiang Baimian whispered to himself. 4

​​

I didn't consider climbing over the wall because as soon as I got out of the back door of the building, it would be seen by the soldiers in the post.

​​

Genova continued:

​​

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

​​

Maybe some passersby encountered snipers, but these pedestrians have already left the place, and the "Old Tune Team" will not be able to find them for a while.

​​

Shang Jianyao suggested:

​​

"Search the entire building, exchange a few words with everyone, and watch the surveillance video by the way."

​​

"It will take too much time, and the sheriff of Gustburg should be here soon and won't give us this chance." Jiang Baimian thought for a while, then smiled a little, "Hey, you and I will go back to Moore. There is an investigation, Lao 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'."

​​

Papapa, Shang Jianyao applauded for this idea.

​​

This is called drawing snakes out of their holes.

​​

……

​​

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao drove the jeep without disguise and returned to More's apartment.

​​

At this time, two sheriff's cars with blue stripes on a white background were parked downstairs. 4

​​

"It's still quite fast." Shang Jianyao praised.

​​

Jiang Baimian nodded:

​​

"This shows that Gerstburg is relatively orderly."

​​

The two chatted and went all the way to the top floor, and 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 angrily.

​​

"Witness." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile.

​​

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

​​

The sheriff had a bushy golden beard and blue eyes, and he couldn't tell how old he was, but he wouldn't be more than fifty. 1

​​

He pointed to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, and said to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:

​​

"Is this your companion?"

​​

"Yes. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Bai Chen and Long Yuehong nodded at the same time.

​​

The sheriff then looked at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao and said:

​​

"According to other eyewitnesses, it was the two of you who visited Moore in the apartment."

​​

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

​​

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

​​

"What are you doing to Moore? Why did you leave in a hurry after the accident?"

​​

"Look him for information, don't you know that he is an intelligence businessman? The answer to the latter question is to go after the sniper." Jiang Baimian smiled, "We are relic hunters, such an opportunity to make a fortune is impossible. Miss it, I think, you shouldn't be stingy with the bounty, right? Besides, didn't we leave a companion to protect the scene, waiting for you to investigate?" 1

​​

Before waiting for the sheriff to ask again, Shang Jianyao interjected coldly:

​​

"If we really want to kill Moore, we won't choose this time, in this way, we will first control him, pretend that he is all right, and then secretly take him to the factory area and find a chance to throw him in molten iron. in.”21

The audience was silent for a while.
