Chapter 52: Tracking

"Can't let the tourists leave!" the egret quickly judged. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"Since the explosion, plus the smoke that has hit the hall, these are all cover-ups. There's no way this guy can escape. He should be in the middle of the crowd and leave with the crowd! The tourists must be controlled. ”

Both Nina and Anne know that what the egret says is right, but controlling the tourists?

"It can't be. Duke Anne shook her head, "If something like this happens, it will already greatly affect the reputation of the territory, and if you control the crowd now, I'm afraid the consequences will be even more difficult to control." ”

It's not just the commoners! There are also nobles and tourists from all over the world! Most of them are nobles and merchants who come to negotiate wine and souvenir trade, and if Anne does everything to restrain these panicked people, I am afraid that it will lead to more problems.

The hall was open, and it didn't take long for the smoke to dissipate. By this time, the servants and armed forces of the Duke's Palace had begun to evacuate the attacked and frightened guests. Lodi stepped forward with an ugly face.

"Where's the stuff?" Nina looked at Lodi empty-handed, feeling a little bad in her heart.

Lodi shook his head, "This guy is too cunning. Sorry, I didn't resist the flash, and this guy took advantage of it. ”

"Damn it!" said Duke Anne for the first time ever. "I'm sorry, I'm too angry. ”

"What kind of thief. What is the difference between doing things and robbers? Fiona said hatefully, "Dare to provoke the great nobles in the Duke's Palace." I must report to the Council of Nobles and fully arrest this guy in the mainland!"

Even if he doesn't have a continent-wide want, this guy is a major figure on the blacklists of multiple imperial investigative agencies.

"By the way, quickly ask the captain of the armed team to inquire. "I remember during the attack, one of the team members called the attacker number 27. ”

"You mean, this guy is disguised as a member of the armed team?" Egret paused for a moment, then turned to look at Anne.

"Due to the meeting, a group of members of the armed team were recruited on an ad hoc basis. Anne knew what the egret was going to ask, and said with an ugly face.

Did you get in at this time?

The egret sorted out the situation in his mind.

Being able to buy magic bombs, smoke bombs, or flashbang grenades is not universal in this other world. From Egret asking Fiona, the equipment used in the hall is expensive. This shows that this thief is very rich.

Second, being able to enter the Duke's Palace by being recruited to become a member of the armed team shows that this person has a clean and clear identity. There are only two possibilities for such an identity, one is an identity that is not exposed by oneself, and the other is a blank identity that is purchased at a high price on the black market. Of course, the latter is a little more likely.

Thirdly, the items that this thief wants to steal are not items of general high value, whether it is Anthony's books or dragon scales, in this day and age, they only have historical value, if it is to earn money for charity. The choice of this thief's target is really a bit incomprehensible, not to mention anything else, even the necklace that Fiona wears around her neck can be auctioned off for a fraction of the price of these two things combined.

Fourth, this guy has no intention of hurting people. Purely from a thief's point of view, he is a very planned, but not brutal guy. It's just that the means taken are more direct.

Then, the question arises.

A very wealthy thief who is very persistent in infiltrating the Duke's palace for the sake of the dragon scales and Anthony's books, which are not of much value. Even if you make such an earth-shattering scene, you have to get the collection, and you don't hesitate to offend the great nobles of the Flame Territory.

"It doesn't really sound like a thief. "At least the targets of the thieves are of high value, and there is no movement in the crime." This guy seems to be cornered. ”

Now that we can't stop the crowds of tourists from leaving, we might as well take another effective measure.

"Duke Anne, is your surveillance equipment still open?" asked Egret. "I think I should be able to find some clues from the monitor. ”

The idea of the egret is simple, but it is also very troublesome. This No. 27 armed member, even if he was disguised when he applied for the job, but he must have returned to his original appearance during the attack, the reason is very simple, if he is still disguised, there is no need to wear a mask during the attack. So in order to facilitate the escape, this guy recovered his appearance before the attack, put on a mask and launched the attack, so that when he mixed with the crowd and left, his disguised appearance would become the focus of the inspection, and of course he could get away with it.

What Egret wants to do is to use a full range of monitoring facilities to select the entry screen of all personnel, and find out the "non-existent person" who did not enter but left through comparison.

This is not an easy task, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, and normally by the time you find the prisoner, the person will probably have fled to another empire. However, this is the only way. At least a preliminary confirmation of the prisoner's appearance can be made.

The old housekeeper led the egret to the monitoring room, and in the flash and smoke just now, the old housekeeper was obviously hit by the panicked crowd, his body was a little embarrassed, and the clothes on his arms were also torn apart, revealing his arms.

The egret looked closely and noticed that the old butler had a tattoo on his arm that resembled a cross of swords, but he didn't have to wait to see it clearly. The old butler put his arm away, "I'm really sorry, because of the chaos just now, I was not dressed properly. ”

The old butler thought that the egret was looking at his clothes, and said with a blushing face, "This is really a great shame for the Flame Territory. Please also ask Lord Egret to do everything in his power to catch this thief. ”

"Rest assured. Egret nodded, "This guy can't run far." ”

With that, the egret walked into the monitoring room.

The Egret's statement is not a consolation, but a fact.

The Flame Territory's management card has begun to be on alert, and even if the territory can't prevent tourists from entering and leaving, there is one thing that can be done without causing disgust or dissatisfaction.

Security checks.

If this guy steals something and wants to leave the Flame Territory immediately, then he will have to go through a security check first. Whether you're taking the magic train or traveling by car, there are checkpoints.

Less than fifteen minutes after the incident, security measures were already in place at the gates of the entire territory. No matter how fast this guy is, it's impossible to get to the level and leave in such a short time.

Of course, thieves can also leave without taking the stolen items. If the items do not leave the territory, are you still afraid that the actual controller of the territory, Duke Anne, will not be able to find his lost items?

And as time progresses, sooner or later the "non-existent person" can be found from the surveillance, and at that time, if this thief has not left the territory of the Duke of Flame, I am afraid that he will be caught immediately.

Therefore, this guy will not leave the territory rashly, at least for a short time. The egret is to find this person in this short period of time.

"Elf, help me. ”

"Do you have any commands?"

At this time, relying on elves is the safest way.

"Quickly compare the above twelve sets of pictures, record the faces of the people entering and leaving the hall of the Duke's Palace, and make comparisons. If there is any entry or exit, it will be marked immediately. ”

The egret commanded, and then the egret noticed that his vision seemed to be disturbed, and suddenly appeared in small circles framed on the human face.

Portrait recognition system? You're playing so advanced, elf!

The egret had to admire the power of this space-time elf, as long as there was a clear indication, this thing was completely an artifact.

For hours, the egret did not move its place. Lodi has conducted a preliminary on-site investigation and found no suspicious persons leaving. Anne is already investigating the recruitment of personnel in the Duke's Palace, and since she can recruit all the forged identities of thieves, it can be seen how lax it is. Nina, Fiona, and Lilith help with the review.

"It's weird. The egret's eyes were a little sour, "There are a lot of people who enter the Duke's Palace from different channels early in the morning, but there are a lot of people who should have left the screen that should correspond. What's going on?"

"Also, the personnel composition is complicated, and there are a lot of hooded guys. Is this face covering thing so popular?"

The egret sighed helplessly, and glanced at the surveillance at the exit.

"Wait!" the egret froze, then rubbed his eyes and looked closely.

"Isn't this person?!" Egret was surprised, and then his mind turned over for a while. "If you explain it this way, you can even explain the original situation. I see. ”

But there's something wrong. The egret frowned, these things are one after another, and it is very difficult to explain clearly. Egret carefully thought about what Lodi, Lilith, Fiona, Anne and the others had said and revealed. The answer in my heart is getting clearer and clearer.

"Well, something to investigate. There are three left. The egret's eyes began to glow. "All the answers are close at hand. ”

The residential area of the Flame Territory is divided into two areas: the upper and lower levels. The upper floor was where the big merchants and nobles lived, while the lower floor was where the commoners lived. If there is a difference, the buildings on the upper floors are mostly villas, while the lower floors are mostly independent small units.

In essence, apart from being a little smaller, there is nothing bad about the lower living quarters.

One of the most famous neighborhoods in the lower residential area is called Changle Quarter, which is known for its convivial atmosphere and harmony between neighbors. It is a well-known convivial neighborhood, and among the civilian areas, people want to live here the most.

However, the largest properties during this period have been bought by a young man. The young man was very generous, paying off the transfer fees of several families almost at once, enough for each family to buy a property on the upper floor.

The young man opened up the passage of several properties and transformed several houses together. On the contrary, a large house is no worse than a villa, and it is no worse than the upper house in terms of decoration and setting.

The residents of the neighborhood were a little puzzled, but this young man generously provided a lot of entertainment facilities in the neighborhood, and people were so happy that they no longer wondered about the strange behavior of young people.

The young man quickly brought in a girl from outside, and what made people sigh was that this girl's face was heavy with a sick color, and her face was blue and purple.

According to the young man, this is his sister, the seriously ill sister.

Young people go out early and return late, and they haven't been home recently. However, the family hired many professional servants and medical staff, and even if the young man was not there, he could take good care of the seriously ill girl.

Early this morning, the young man rushed back. His face was tired, and his clothes were still luxurious, but he could hardly hide the dust.

"Sissi, I'm back. As soon as the young man entered, he strode into the hall of the house, and then froze completely.

Egret sat on the sofa with a smile on his face and looked at the young man: "Yo, Jayne's employer, long time no see." ”
