News of Carmela's robbery spread throughout the city the next morning.

Happening on the eve of the outbreak of war was a slap in the face to the Arent's empire.

The people of the empire were agitated and demanded that the murderers be severely punished.

It's just that the murderer has already fled, and there is no way to catch him, so he can only vent his anger on the Lionheart Kingdom, the war mobilization is becoming more and more rapid, and the border between the two countries is even more prepared, ready for the coming of the big war.

As a result, Canterlot itself was placed under martial law, and many people were convicted of it.

Although Krautman died heroically, the others were unwilling to let him go.

Many critics have criticized him for the incident, saying that it was because of his unguarded approach that the Assassins easily infiltrated the prison and rescued Carmela, and that he must be held responsible for the incident.

Of course, people are already dead, so there is no need to do any additional punishment.

In the eyes of most people, when such a big thing happens, there is always a need for a substitute for the dead ghost, and finding a dead man to carry it is undoubtedly the most merciful performance.

But that didn't end there.

Upon learning of Carmela's robbery, Atkins became furious and lashed out at the city's poor defenses. However, his main criticism was not Krautman, but the performance of the early and late Empire - why did the Assassins easily and unhindered their way through the border defenses, why did the Assassins escape from Canterlot when they were already seriously wounded, but our troops did not catch them? If Krautman was incompetent, what were the other generals who had not captured anyone after a night?

This series of sharp criticisms has left a group of generals anxious, but there is nothing they can do with Atkins. After all, he was the main victim of Carmela's assassination, he had reason to be angry, and it was because of him that the empire was able to capture Carmela.

A healthy Carmella is captured by Atkins, while a weak Carmella runs away under the pursuit of a group of people. Comparing the two, Atkins' performance is becoming more and more dazzling.

In order to appease Atkins's anger, the Emperor ordered Atkins to be promoted by one rank, made a lieutenant general, and promoted from the former deputy commander of the 12th Army to the official commander.

After getting promoted, Atkins quickly called Shen Yi.

"Well, thank you so much, General. In the factory office, Shen Yi smiled into the phone.

"You're welcome, thanks to your reminder. ”

"It's what I'm supposed to do...... Well, I know you must be busy right now, preparing for war and taking over the Legion...... No, that's what the soldiers are looking forward to, and you're sure to bring them a brilliant victory...... Then you get busy first, and don't waste your time. ”

Hanging up the phone, Shen Yi turned around and said, "A big order, the Twelfth Army needs to be reequipped with 3,000 sets of soldier equipment. ”

"Yea!" Shirley, Michelle and Zhou Yiyu cheered at the same time.

Shen Yi also said: "In addition, General Atkins officially hired our security company to assist the Twelfth Legion in the battle against the Lionheart Kingdom, and promised that every time a city is taken, the Second Legion can participate in the distribution of spoils. ”

Shirley sneered: "The so-called distribution of loot is looting, right?"

Shen Yi replied: "What's the matter, this is called redistributing resources." ”

Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this part is also legal." As a subject of Arent, as long as it is an income recognized by the Arrent Empire, it is legitimate!"

Shen Yi said with a big face.

"Now it's done. Zhou Yiyu said with a smile.

Chu Sheng snorted coldly: "That's right, but you have to deduct the vase money, right?"

Shen Yi's face immediately drooped, and he sighed helplessly.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa in the office, there is the vase that Shen Yi photographed.

Shirley was almost mad when she saw Shen Yi spend 2 million to shoot a vase - every penny of the factory's funds was used to the limit, and a considerable part of it relied on the frugal wages squeezed out by the airborne troops, and Kafka even performed eight surgeries in one day and received sixteen red envelopes.

He took double the red envelopes.

As a result, Shen Yi smashed out two million at once.

Fortunately, Shirley reacted quickly and pointed out that the money was earmarked for General Atkins' troops, and then asked for the arrears after the fundraiser ended.

When Atkins heard that the donations were still owed, his eyes were about to pop out - the continent of science and technology is not the earth, and there is no such strange thing as arrears.

Of course, Atkins agreed, and graciously gave them the vase first.

It's not worth a lot of money anyway.

At this moment, Zhou Yiyu laughed: "It's okay, isn't it just two million, that is, 20,000 bloody points, it's not that we can't earn it back, and besides, we earned more than this amount yesterday." ”

Killing Krautman yesterday, Gentle opened the box and saw that there were two boxes of special bullets inside, a box of sonic bullets and a box of earth bullets. There is also a skill scroll for the off-hand elbow strike. In addition, destroying those God of War Colossias also allowed Gentle to get some points and a piece of the God of War Colossus's energy crystal.

But if you really want to calculate it, considering that Shen Yi also used up a box and a half of special bullets, a bottle of mental power recovery potion and five thousand points for this support, in fact, he didn't make or lose money, Zhou Yiyu just tried to find face for Shen Yi.

Shirley doesn't care about this: "The problem is that spending 20,000 yuan is not the same feeling as throwing away 20,000 yuan!"

She forked her waist up: "You can still hear the sound of smashing the water." ”

It's strange, Zhao Ling'er is speaking more and more Western, how can this girl speak more and more eastern?

Shen Yi looked at the vase for a while, and finally said ruthlessly: "I will definitely sell it!"

――――――――――――― Bevelitt Avenue.

The inhabitants have been evacuated, the bodies have been collected, the entire area has been cordoned off, and the streets are left with nothing but broken ruins and, of course, the ubiquitous stains of blood.

Bernard Jenks crouched in front of a white outline of the corpse, looked carefully at the ground, and seemed to see something, and gently picked up a deformed warhead from the ground with tweezers.

"Armor-piercing again......" Bernard muttered, "what do you think? ”

"Snipers are rich. A female detective with short hair behind him replied, taking the bullet from Bernard and putting it in a plastic bag.

This answer caused Bernard to chuckle: "122 armor-piercing rounds, and 24 berserk rounds, at least twenty smoke rounds, and more than 150 special rounds alone...... This is no longer a problem that can be solved with money. By the way, did you find the video?"

"Unfortunately, no, the fighting destroyed all the video facilities. However, a photography facility on a street to the south inadvertently photographed the flight trajectory of a bullet, and confirmed that the sniper fired from the south, and the bullet flew at a high speed, initially estimated to be more than 1,200 meters per second. ”

"Got it. Bernard took out a small notebook and wrote it down: firing position, south, bullet flight speed of more than 1,200 meters.

Then he put away his notebook and asked, "So did you find the firing point?"

"All favorable sites for firing have been searched at a range of three kilometers, but nothing has yet been found. ”

"Let them expand the search range to five kilometers. ”

"Okay. The female agent turned to leave.

"Oh, by the way, Elenie, get some survivors, I have a question for them. ”

"Okay sir, do you have any other orders?"

“...... Bring me another glass of milk, a hot dog, more spicy meat sauce, and two sausages. ”

"Okay boss. ”

The survivors soon arrived, all soldiers who had lived through the battle of the previous night, and their faces still had fear on their faces.

Bernard confidently examined the soldiers, then coughed lightly and said, "Just last night, you went through a hard battle, and I know you have fought hard......"

"That's not combat, Major. One soldier interrupted him and replied, "That's a massacre, a one-sided massacre......

When he said this, his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Shut up!" said an officer next to the soldiers, angrily, "Are you still soldiers?

"Don't do that, Lieutenant. Bernard waved his hand: "You have to learn to understand them." ”

He looked at the soldiers and said, "I know you don't really want to remember last night's battle, after all, it was a nightmare for you, nearly 400 soldiers were killed, even General Clutterman died heroically, but I'm sorry, I need your help, I need you to remember what happened in the course of that battle, only then can I help you find the sniper." ”

Another soldier looked at him, "But I don't know who you are." ”

Bernard laughed and took out a document from his body: "I forgot to introduce you, Major Bernard Jenks, the executive head of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, it was the military who invited me to come and solve this case." Of course, they mainly asked me to find the sniper, after all, digging up the hidden mole is part of our job duty. ”

"Mole?" one soldier asked, suspiciously.

"Yes!" said the female detective, Eleni, as she handed the hot dog and milk to Bernard, "The one who helped Carmela escape, and a very powerful gunman, suggests that this person is likely to be from the Arendt Empire." The military asked us to assist in the investigation, and Major Bernard was the best talent in this field. ”

Several soldiers looked at each other, and finally one of them asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Tell me what happened to you yesterday, in detail, any detail, even if you say what kind of socks you were wearing yesterday, I won't bother. Bernard started nibbling on hot dogs.

So a few soldiers began to talk.

Bernard listened attentively, occasionally asking questions, and remained silent most of the time. The soldiers' accounts had already drawn a picture of the bloody battle in his mind.

The image shocked him.

"We were already in control of the situation, but the bullets that flew from nowhere suddenly hit the Colossus, and it took only three shots to destroy the god of war, and then he never stopped attacking. We couldn't see where the bullets came from, they would turn in the air and he'd hit us wherever we hid......" the soldiers recalled, horror in their eyes.

"The woman is very powerful, but at least we can see him, and the gunman is like a ghost who wants his life...... We couldn't see him at all, we could only watch our companions being killed by him one by one, which was simply terrifying. ”

Gerol was hiding under the car, and he thought he could dodge, but the bullet went straight around the car and hit him...... He's dead. ”

"Emmanuel was hiding behind the wall, and the bullets flew through his temple as well, and his skull landed at my feet, and I was terrified. ”

"That's how the other God of War Colossus was shot alive. We thought we were all right and ran out, but the colossus fell, and soon the bullets came at us again. ”

"Then General Krautman came, and the snipers attacked the general desperately, and the general dodged a shot...... He only dodged one shot. ”

"Then we came out, and some of the attacks turned against us again......"

Bernard listened, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he suddenly waved his hand: "You just said that some of the attacks turned to you again, do you mean that the gunman is not alone?"

"No, it's not. ”

"How many do you think? I mean, how many of the highest simultaneous attacks are there?"

"Three times. A soldier only thought for a moment before replying, this is not difficult to be sure, after all, there have been many attacks on Shen Yi and the two clones that have fired at the same time.

"So...... How often do they shoot?" Bernard took out a small clip: "Think about it, it's like this...... Bang Ta ...... Bang Tower, it's still like this, Bang Tower...... Bang Ta ...... Smack!"

"Longer!"

The clamp rang five times.

Several soldiers shouted, "That's pretty much it!"

"That's about five seconds? It's all five seconds, or is it changing?"

"It's all this frequency!" one soldier affirmed.

"Is it stable?"

"It's so stable that we can almost always know when the bullets are going to hit by the end!"

"Understood. Bernard took out a small notebook again and wrote it down: three gunmen, firing frequency, one shot every five seconds, unusually stable.

Then he went on to ask: "Tell me if the soldiers who were killed hiding behind bunkers have any specific characteristics, I mean the operational aspect." ”

Several soldiers looked at each other, then shook their heads together.

"Think again, for example, did they hide for a while before they were killed, or did they just hide for a short time before they were killed?"

This time several soldiers reacted somewhat.

One soldier pointed to the alleyway in the distance and said, "Over there, I remember that Emmanuel and Jerol were over there, and they had only been hiding for a few seconds, and then the bullets came in." ”

"How long?" I mean, how many seconds is the longest time to dodge?" Bernard said immediately.

“...... I...... I do not know. The soldier replied eagerly, "I didn't care about that." ”

"Reminisce about memories!" Bernard said urgently, "Count the seconds yourself." ”

The soldier covered his head and pondered, with a pained look on his face: "Probably...... There are about six ...... Eight...... No, maybe ten seconds! Rick ducked for a while, he thought he was fine, and then his head exploded!"

"Ten seconds?" Bernard touched his chin: "If it's a lock-on shot, it means that the bullet has been in the air for at least ten seconds, and the bullet has a speed of more than 1,200 meters...... Oh my!"

Bernard gasped, the discovery making his whole body tremble.

He turned around and shouted, "Expand the search range to twenty kilometers......! A total of nearly 600 rounds of ammunition were found at the scene, and with a frequency of three attacks in five seconds, then the three snipers should have stayed at least ...... Fifteen minutes! Damn, why didn't anyone find out for so long? Silencer, it must be silencer! No, no, this is a super long-range shot, and the silencer can't hide all the sound. Ask nearby residents to see if anyone heard the gunshots between 9:30 and 10 p.m. last night. ”

Eleni nodded and left.

Three hours later, Bernard was rewarded with a continuous, muffled sound of up to twenty people hearing a continuous, dull sound near St. Mary's Church, fifteen kilometers from Bevelett Avenue.
