Chapter 41 Recourse (Part 2)

Bell tower of St. Mary's Church. шШщ.dyzww. net|

Alini carefully picked up a bullet casing from the ground, looked at it, and threw it into the bag casually: "It should be here. There is no mark on the casing, and the source cannot be confirmed."

"Hmm." Bernard responded lightly, just stood there looking at the distant sky, as if he was thinking about something.

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

"I'm just wondering about something." Bernard lowered his head and looked down the clock tower: "Why...why did those three gunmen shoot here?"

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

"Safe enough?" Bernard chuckled: "Even if it is shooting five kilometers away, it is already difficult for our people to find out. Alini, safety is not as far away as possible. Look at the distance from here to How many tall buildings are there on the road in Bevelett? Some of them are taller than the church, some are more hidden than the church, and some have a better view. Even if I am not a professional sniper, I can know that this is definitely not a Good location for sniping, otherwise as many as 20 people could not have heard the gunshots. The three snipers were lucky that no soldiers passed by at the time, but this in itself also shows how dangerous this choice is."

"Maybe they're all amateur snipers?"

"Three amateur gunmen who use a large number of special bullets and can shoot precise attacks from fifteen kilometers away, with a hit rate of over 80%?"

"Just a few good guns."

"It's not just a gun." Bernard suddenly poked his head out and pointed outside the church: "Look over there."

Alini poked her head out, but she found nothing.

"Pay attention to observation." Bernard smiled: "There is a piece of tile broken, and the debris fell from the air and fell to the door of the church. And there was an obvious wear and tear about ten meters away from the church. When I came, I I looked at it, and in terms of size, there should have been a footprint that went deep into the ground, but unfortunately it was destroyed."

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

"If you ask the pastors in the church now, they will swear to you in the name of God that no one has sneaked in from here. Of course they are not lying, because people jumped straight up."

"My God!" Alini covered her mouth, "I thought they flew up with mechs.

"

Just jumping up the bell tower without using the mecha, at least in the eyes of the female detective, the opponent's strength is quite amazing.

"Wait!" Alini suddenly reacted: "If it jumped up directly, why is there only one stepping point?"

"Now you understand?" Bernard smiled and pointed to the two pedal marks below: "Only one person jumped up from here, but three people shot here. It's funny, isn't it? Well, this Let's put the matter aside."

He retracted his body and stood back where Shen Yi had stood before: "They are standing here, here, and here, aiming at targets fifteen kilometers away and shooting. There is no trace of support, which shows that they directly held their guns and fired Yes. Someone saw the flames, one after another, like fireworks... powerful force, completely ignoring the recoil. They didn't leave until after the woman left, no trace of descending, it seemed like they disappeared out of thin air .”

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

"Yes, so that's the problem here...why did the three masters choose to fire at such a place that the masters should not choose? Think about it, Alini, think about it carefully." Bernard asked with a smile.

The female detective frowned, thought for a while, and then her eyes lit up: "The first shot to smash the Colossus of the God of War did not start until several minutes after the prison robbery. The female assassin has been entangled for a while. If the three snipers were premeditated responders, they shouldn’t have waited until then. So..."

"Correct answer!" Bernard clapped his hands: "So they launched an attack on the spur of the moment to rescue their partner. It is for this reason that they have no time to choose a better sniper location, so they can only here... Shoot close!"

"That's right, shoot nearby! They must have been nearby before the incident." Alini became excited: "They knew their partner was in danger, so they shot immediately."

"Yeah, so here comes the question again. Don't you think it's funny? Why did the rescue party have three powerful gunmen who knew that the rescue of Carmela was going on, but didn't prepare in advance? Why did they show up at the same time? Near the church, but there is only a trace of a person coming up?"

The female detective opened her mouth, and finally said: "I can only explain the first question, which shows that they are very confident in this operation, so confident that they didn't think it was necessary to take action."

Bernard clapped his hands: "Good explanation."

"What about the answer to the last question?"

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

"So there are still no clues?" The female detective was a little disappointed. It appears that nothing was learned other than knowing that the shooter had been near the church beforehand.

Bernard replied: "There is no clue here, so look elsewhere. Why not think about prison? One of the basic elements of solving a case is not to treat all incidents in isolation. Although the military did not let us be responsible for Carmela, it does not mean that we We can’t start here. I’ve already received information from the prison that the female assassin who rescued her went directly to the minor offense area, which means that the assassin already knew where Carmela was before she acted.”

"That's true."

"So we might as well start with this aspect first." Bernard smiled: "Go and investigate how many people have tried to approach Carmela after she was arrested. Get in touch. In addition, find some people who have fought against the female assassin to ask about the situation, and maybe you can get some clues."

Turn off "Understood, I'll do it right away. What about this side?"

"You can't let go of the clock tower, you send someone to investigate, and look at the church-centered period from nine o'clock to ten o'clock last night..."

Bernard looked around, his eyes resting on several taller buildings nearby.

He calculated the distance, and then said: "Who are the people within 120 meters from the center of the church? It should be this distance, if it is farther, they don't need to choose the church. If you are lucky, two The same people may appear online, and that is a major suspect.”

"I'll do it now." The female detective turned and left.

Bernard still stayed on the bell tower, looking at the bullet casings all over the floor, as if he was thinking about something.

He muttered to himself: "If they left out of nowhere, how did the footprints under the church be erased... Was there one shooter or three...or more?"

————————————— Factory Office.

Michelle stood in front of Shen Yi's desk: "Ye Jiguang has already found that adventurer. His name is Garnett, he is a shadow assassin, and he is currently living in a hotel in the east gate."

"Alone?" Shen Yi raised his head and asked.

"It seems to be, probably because they were scattered during the selection of the camp. This guy is unlucky, and he went to the Technology Continent alone."

"That's easy, let Yi Yu go."

"Let me go." Michelle replied with a smile: "What happened yesterday should be a misunderstanding. Letting Chief Zhou go may increase his defensiveness, so it's better for me to deal with it."

Shen Yi thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Well, that's fine, you go and tell him, it's over when it's over, and the Broken Blade team won't trouble him, of course he'd better keep his mouth shut."

"I heard that he used a life-saving item in order to block the Holy Order, do you need to think about it?"

"There's no need for that." Shen Yi replied decisively: "It will only make him think that he can blackmail us by holding onto us, not to mention satisfying him alone requires satisfying many people."

Technology Continent knows that there are more than one gentle adventurers. If the Broken Blade team bows to Garnett because of this, it will only make others think that they can take this opportunity to blackmail the Broken Blade team.

This is not a good thing.

Failure to compensate Garnett means that the Broken Blade team will not accept any threats brought about by this matter, and those who dare to betray them may wish to weigh it.

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

Shen Yi doesn't like arrogance, but it doesn't mean he won't use it.

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

"I don't worry about your work." Shen Yi said with a smile: "By the way, the evil emperor asked Ji Guang and the Bulls to keep a close eye on him. If there is anything wrong with this guy, just kill him. If nothing happens, forget it. At this time, it is not appropriate to have too much gossip.”

"I will."

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

But at the moment when he was thinking, Atkins had already called, wanting to discuss with him about the battle order of the Second Legion, 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 strong man's unique offensive mentality made him more accustomed to focusing on areas where he could gain benefits, instead of 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 Chief of Operations of the Imperial Investigation Bureau.

Alini stood at Bernard Jenks' desk and handed over a thick document.

"This is the record of all the visitors after Carmela was arrested, and the information of all the houses 120 meters around the church and the passers-by during that time. Excluding the impossible objects, there are a total of..."

"There is no impossible object!" Bernard Jenks said unceremoniously as an assistant said: "There is no impossible object to solve a case, and removing the so-called impossible object without authorization is itself an unfair and unscientific approach. Even if it is His Majesty the Emperor, as long as he appears on the visitor list or near the church, write it down and present it to me!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is not here, but Earl Courtney's residence is near the clock tower. There were many dignitaries there that night, but we haven't got the list yet."

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

"But that's easy to offend, sir."

"Do you know, Alini, the first condition that determines whether a law enforcement officer is good is not his ability, but his courage. Some people are willing to offend others in order to get things done, and some people are not. This is difference, and the same applies to other people in power!"

"I see, boss."

"Don't worry, Earl Courtney is very generous. He will definitely understand the hardships of little people like us, and won't easily argue with us." Seeing Alini's worried look, Bernard smiled and comforted her: "Look How many people have I 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 seriously: "I'm going to see all the information tonight."

"You'll get it."

That night, there was a thick stack of documents piled up on Bernard's desk, and Bernard carefully flipped through them page by page.

The lights in the office were on all night.
