Embers Ad Infinitum

The sheriff was silent for a while and said:

​​

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it is true that you did not kill Moore.

​​

"Our 'White Knights' have always been fair and will not wrong innocent people, but as witnesses, you are obliged to answer me some questions."3

​​

"No problem." Jiang Baimian was really candid on this matter. 1

​​

The sheriff looked around and considered the order of the questions.

​​

At this time, the polite Shang Jianyao asked: 1

​​

"I don't know what to call you?" 1

​​

"Yergai." The sheriff replied briefly, and then stepped into the topic, "What are you looking for Morr to ask about?"6

​​

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

​​

As a veteran local sheriff, Yergai heard about this rather strange thing, and asked with a little surprise:

​​

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

​​

"We know from someone that some of the goods that evaporated out of thin air were purchased and collected by Moer." Jiang Baimian didn't give Ye Ergai a chance to ask who it was, and took the initiative to emphasize, "We promised To keep the secret for that person, I can't tell you his identity." 2

​​

Yergai stroked his golden beard:

​​

"I'll follow up. If it's really necessary in the future, you don't need to talk about it if you don't want to talk about it."

​​

What he means is that, according to the rules of the "White Knights", when a vicious case is involved, the agreement between private individuals is lower than the public interest. At that time, if the "Old Tune Group" wants to keep it secret, they will face coercive measures.

​​

"Understood." Jiang Baimian did not struggle with this issue.

​​

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 make mistakes.

​​

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

​​

"Describe the situation at that time in detail."

​​

Jiang Baimian spoke without omitting the slightest detail, but just concealed that Shang Jianyao had used the ability on Morr.

​​

Hearing the end, Yergai frowned:

​​

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

​​

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

​​

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

​​

Yergai stroked the beard beside his mouth again and whispered to himself:

​​

"There is a lot of problems behind the disappearance of the goods. 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 Group" might be able to take the opportunity to get in touch and complete the "visit" mission. 1

​​

——Iman is on the list of five people given by Gitis, and the "Old Tune Group" has visited Esther and Mor. 4

​​

Yergai is vigilant: 2

​​

"Deputy Captain Pollard, is there any problem?" 3

​​

There is more than one assistant to the great knight Javier.

​​

"No, I'm just curious." Shang Jianyao replied sincerely.

​​

Yergai did not continue the topic, but instead asked:

​​

"Where did you chase you just now?"

​​

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

​​

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

​​

"We don't have enough manpower to check the inside of the building, so we can only have robots stay nearby and monitor the people who come in and out of the front and rear doors."

​​

Yergai thought for a few seconds and said:

​​

"Thank you for your cooperation. You are not suspected for the time being and you can leave, but don't go out of Gustburg recently, because you may be asked to assist in the investigation at any time. 4

​​

"Where do you live now?"

​​

"The 'Fire and Iron' hotel." Jiang Baimian asked tentatively, "Mr. Sheriff, have you ever thought about entrusting us to investigate this matter? We charge a very reasonable fee and have a sufficient understanding of the case."10

​​

She wanted to intervene in the pursuit of snipers in the most reasonable way.

​​

Once you can catch that person in a short period of time, it means you have caught the tail of the Eighth Research Institute.

​​

Yergai looked at the group of people in surprise:

​​

"Do you want to find out the mystery of the missing cargo through the gunman, or do you want to take the opportunity to earn some bounty?"

​​

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

​​

Gu Tian

Yergai wiped his beard and said:

​​

"In the beginning, we will definitely investigate on our own. If there are indeed difficulties and cannot be resolved for the time being, we will consider releasing the quest in the Hunter Guild."

​​

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

​​

- In most places on the soil, the main role of security guards and police officers is to maintain order, not to solve cases. If things are relatively simple, they can be solved easily. It is difficult to assign a team to deal with a difficult and miscellaneous case for a long time, and can only rely on the help of the relic hunters.

​​

"You can consider us directly." Jiang Baimian did not show the urgency to follow up, but just reiterated the attitude of himself and others.

​​

She then reminded Yergai two words:

​​

"The sniper may still be hiding in the building, you have to check it out in time, he might slip away later.

​​

"Also watch the surveillance video. Although only the elevator was equipped with a camera, and the sniper took the stairs when evacuating, but when he entered the building, things hadn't developed to the point where he had to shoot Moore, and he might not be able to. 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 over." Yeergai did not reprimand Jiang Baimian for being nosy, but he also seemed a little impatient. 3

​​

The sheriff of Gustburg still needs some of your ruin hunters to teach you about the investigation case? 4

​​

Jiang Baimian didn't say much, and led a few members of the "Old Tune Group" away from Moore's house and boarded a jeep.

​​

In the process of driving to the building of the Mining Federation, Long Yuehong, who was in the passenger seat, took the initiative to say:

​​

"I think the sniper has left, and he is also an Awakener. The guards are affected by his ability and ignore or forget the corresponding scene."4

​​

Slap, Shang Jianyao held his right fist and left palm and said:

​​

"The target is still in the building!" 5

​​

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

​​

"Seriously."

​​

Shang Jianyao's expression changed, and he said in a serious tone:

​​

"I think Yeergai and the others have a high probability that they won't be able to investigate anything. After we take over, where should we start?"

​​

The fact that the official forces of Gerstburg cannot find out means that the sniper is not on the surveillance video, and no one in the building has any reaction to the smoke, and the anti-equipment sniper rifle cannot be found, and the guards really don’t remember it. Such a person leaves. 1

​​

As for checking witnesses from the pedestrians, it is a long-term task, and the sheriffs will definitely hand it over to the relic hunters.

​​

Bai Chen, who was driving, immediately said:

​​

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

​​

"This is on the one hand." Jiang Baimian added, "On the other hand, go out the street along the back door and ask questions all the way. The main objects are the owners or employees of the shops on the street."

​​

It will be a very tedious job because there is more than one route to leave.

​​

Jiang Baimian said "um" 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 silence him as soon as he finds something wrong. Since he has served the Eighth Research Institute, there should be similar people around him. 1

​​

"And in such a long time, the monitor will make some mistakes more or less. No one can keep making mistakes. You can't do it, and neither can I."9

​​

Papapa, Shang Jianyao applauded.

​​

While the four of them were talking, Jeep once again came outside the building of the Mining Federation and picked up Genova.

​​

"Is anyone out of the building?" Shang Jianyao asked impatiently. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

​​

"There were three of them before the security guards of Gustburg came, and they walked through the main entrance. I have recorded their appearances, and I will investigate later." Genova never disappoints. 1

​​

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

​​

With the funds, they simply had lunch and entered the "Fire and Iron" hotel. 3

​​

Today, the front desk of the day shift is still Gitis.

​​

Eyes blank, she didn't know what she was thinking about when she saw the "Old Tune Group" coming back, she immediately became a little more energetic: 2

​​

"Moll is dead?" 1

​​

"You are really well informed." Shang Jianyao praised sincerely. 1

​​

Jitis was not proud of it, she said in a trance: 1

​​

"Many people know about the closure of the Mining Federation Building." 1

​​

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

​​

"Then do you know that Moore was killed by a sniper?"3

​​

The corners of Gitis' mouth turned up a little, revealing an enigmatic smile: 6

​​

"knowledge."
