St. Mary's Church bell tower.

Eleni carefully picked up a bullet case from the ground, looked at it, and threw it into the bag: "It should be here, there is no mark on the bullet case, and the source cannot be confirmed." ”

"Hmm. Bernard replied lightly, just standing there looking at the horizon in the distance, as if thinking about something.

"What are you thinking, sir?" the female detective asked.

"It's just weird something. Bernard lowered his head and looked under the bell tower: "Why...... Why are those three gunmen shooting here?"

"Maybe it's because it's safe enough?"

"Safe enough?" Bernard chuckled, "Even shooting from five kilometers away is already difficult for our people to detect." Elini, security isn't as far away as possible, you see how many tall buildings are on the road from here to Bevlett? Some of them are taller than churches, some are more hidden than churches, and some have better views, even if I am not a professional sniper, I can know that this is definitely not a good place for sniping, otherwise there would not be as many as twenty or so people hearing the gunshots. The three snipers were lucky that there were no soldiers passing by, but that in itself illustrates how dangerous the choice was. ”

"Maybe they're all amateur snipers?"

"Three amateur gunners who use a large number of special bullets, can hit with precision attacks from a distance of fifteen kilometers, and have a hit rate of more than 80 percent?"

"It's just a couple of good guns. ”

"It's not just guns that are good. Bernard suddenly poked his head out and pointed to the outside of the church: "Look there." ”

Eleni poked her head out, but she found nothing.

"Watch out. Bernard laughed: "There was a piece of tile that shattered, and the debris fell from the air and fell to the door of the church. And about ten meters from the church, there is a piece of obvious wear, I took a look when I came, in terms of size, there should have been a footprint deep into the ground, but unfortunately it was destroyed. ”

"You mean......" Alie's eyes widened.

"If you ask those pastors in the church now, they will surely swear to you in the name of God that no one has sneaked in from here. Of course they didn't lie, because people jumped up directly. ”

"Oh my God!" Eleni covered her mouth, "I thought they flew up with mechs." ”

Climbing the bell tower without using a mecha and just jumping, at least in the eyes of the female detective, the strength of the other party is quite amazing.

"Wait!" Eleni suddenly reacted, "If you jumped up directly, why is there only one stamping point?"

"Now you understand?" Bernard grinned, pointing to the two stampede marks below, "It's funny that only one person jumped up from here, but three people shot here, right? ”

He retracted his body and stood back where Shen Yi had stood: "They are standing here, here, and here, aiming at targets fifteen kilometers away and shooting. There are no traces of support, indicating that they were directly holding the gun and firing. Someone saw the fire, and then and then again, like fireworks...... Powerful and completely disregarding recoil. They didn't leave until after the woman left, and there was no trace of the descent, as if they had disappeared into thin air. ”

"These are three real masters. Eleni said that she finally admitted that the other party was a master.

"yes, so that's the problem...... Why would the three masters choose to fire at such a location that is not the one that the master should choose? Think about it, Elini, think about it. Bernard asked with a smile.

The female detective frowned, thinking very seriously for a moment, and then her eyes lit up: "The first shot to smash the God of War Colossus was only started several minutes after the robbery had already taken place, when the God of War Colossus had even been entangled with the female assassin for a while. If the three snipers were premeditated responders, they should not wait until that time. So ......"

"That's right!" Bernard clapped his hands, "so they made an improvised attack and rescued their companions." It is for this reason that they did not have time to pick a better sniper spot, and they could only ...... here Shoot close!"

"That's right, shoot at the nearest shot! They must have been around here before the incident. Eleni became excited: "They knew that their partner was in danger, so they immediately intervened. ”

"yes, so the problem comes up again. Don't you think it's funny? Why did the rescuers have three powerful gunmen who knew that the rescue of Carmela was going on, but didn't prepare for it? Why did they show up near the church at the same time, but only one person came up?"

The female detective opened her mouth and finally said: "I can only give an explanation to the first question, which shows that they are very confident in this operation, so confident that they did not think it was necessary to take action in the first place. ”

Bernard clapped his hands: "Nice explanation. ”

"And what about the answer to the latter question?"

"I don't know either, there are no more clues to find the answer to the second question yet, but we know that there are many special, strange, mysterious forces in this world, and perhaps the enemy we are facing is one of them...... In this case, we cannot analyze the problem with common sense. Bernard shook his head.

"So or are there no clues?" the female agent was a little disappointed. It seems that nothing has been found except that the gunman has been near the church beforehand.

Bernard replied, "There is no clue here, so let's look for it somewhere." Why not think about prisons? An essential element of solving a crime is not to treat all incidents in isolation. Just because the military didn't put us in charge of Carmela doesn't mean we can't start here. I've received information from the prison that the female assassin who rescued her was heading directly for the minor offender area, which means that the Assassin knew where Carmela was before she acted. ”

"That's true. ”

"So we might as well start with that. Bernard smiled: "You go and investigate, how many people have tried to approach Carmela after she was arrested, and the enemy wants to save her, and it is likely that they will contact her in advance." Ask someone who had dealt with the female Assassin and you might be able to get some clues. ”

Close "Understood, I'll do it." And what about this side?"

"You can't let go of the bell tower here, you send someone to investigate, and see the ...... centered on the church between nine and ten o'clock last night"

Bernard looked around, his gaze resting on a few taller buildings nearby.

He counted the distance, and then said, "Who are there within one hundred and twenty meters of the church?" It should be this distance, if it is any farther, they will not have to choose the church. If you're lucky, you might find the same person on both lines, and that's the target of major suspicion. ”

"I'll do it. The female agent turned to leave.

Bernard remained on the bell tower, looking at the bullet casings all over the floor, as if thinking about something.

He muttered to himself, "If it was out of thin air, then how did that footprint under the church wipe it off...... Is the gunner one or three...... Or more?"

――――――――――――― factory office.

Michelle stood in front of Shen Yi's desk: "Ye Jiguang has found that adventurer." His name is Garnet, and he is a Shadow Assassin who currently lives in an inn at the East Gate. ”

"Alone?" Shen Yi asked.

"It seems that it is estimated that the camp was dispersed when it was chosen, and this guy was unlucky, and he went to the technology continent alone. ”

"That's easy, let Yiyu go. ”

"Let me go. Michelle replied with a smile: "Yesterday's incident should be a misunderstanding, let Chief Zhou go, it may improve his defensive psychology, it is better for me to deal with it." ”

Shen Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, that's fine, you go and tell him, the matter will be over when it's over, and the Broken Blade team won't trouble him, of course, his mouth should be tighter." ”

"I heard that he used a life-saving prop to block the Radiance Holy Cut, do you need to be interesting?"

"There's no need for that. Shen Yi replied categorically: "That will only make him think that he can coerce us by pinching our handle, not to mention that to satisfy him alone, we need to satisfy many people." ”

The Tech Continent knew that there was more than one gentle adventurer, and if the Broken Blades bowed to Garnett because of this, it would only make others think that they could take this opportunity to blackmail the Broken Blades.

That's not a good thing.

Not paying compensation to Garnett means that the Broken Blades will not accept any threat from this matter, and those who dare to betray them may as well weigh it.

A strong team has its own majesty, and sometimes arrogance itself is the best talisman.

Shen Yi doesn't like to be brutal, but that doesn't mean he won't use it.

"I see. Michelle replied, "I'll take care of it." ”

"You do things, I don't worry. Shen Yi smiled: "By the way, the Evil Emperor asked Ji Guang and the Barbarian Bull Team to also keep an eye on it, if this guy has any bad moves, kill him, forget it if he doesn't, it's not appropriate to have more right and wrong at this time." ”

"I will. ”

Watching Michelle leave, Shen Yi carefully recalled what mistakes and omissions there were in yesterday's actions, and what needed to be made up. Due to the haste of the incident, now that I think about it, there are still many problems with the operation itself.

However, just as he was thinking, Atkins' call had already been called, and he wanted to discuss with him about the battle sequence of the Second Legion, and Shen Yi had to turn his attention back to this aspect.

There are too many tasks and work to do, even Shen Yi has to choose to give up some.

The offensive mentality characteristic of a strong man has made him more accustomed to focusing on the aspects that can be profitable, rather than wiping his ass for some small problems in the past.

After all, not every small problem leads to a big problem.

Afternoon.

Office of the Head of Operations of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation.

Alene stood at Bernard Jenks' desk, handing over a thick sheet of paper.

"This is the record of all visitors after Carmela's arrest and the information of all the homes within 120 meters of the church and the passers-by at that time, excluding impossible objects, a total of ......"

"There is no impossible object!" Bernard Jenks unceremoniously said to his assistant: "There is no impossible object to solve the case, and removing the so-called impossible object without authorization is itself an unjust and unscientific practice, even His Majesty the Emperor, as long as he appears on the list of visitors, or near the church, he must write it down and present it to me!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is not here, but the official residence of the Earl of Courtney is near the bell tower, and there are many dignitaries there that night, but we have not yet obtained the list. ”

Bernard leaned back in his chair: "Then get the list, if he refuses...... Just go and ask the general to send a notice. ”

"But it's easy to offend, sir. ”

"You know, Elini, the first condition for determining whether a law enforcement officer is good or not is not his ability, but his courage. Some people are willing to offend people in order to do things well, and some people are not, and that's the difference, and the same applies to other people in power!"

"I see, sir. ”

"Don't worry, Earl Courtney is magnificent, and will be able to understand the difficulties of a little person like us, and will not easily deal with us. Seeing Eleni's worried look, Bernard smiled and comforted her: "Look at how many people I've offended, don't you still sit here and be your boss?"

"You could have been my boss's boss. ”

Bernard looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said, "I'm going to see all the information tonight." ”

"You'll get it. ”

That night, a thick stack of materials had piled up in front of Bernard's desk, and Bernard looked through them page by page.

The office lights were on overnight.
