Chapter 261: Derailment(1/2)

This is a single-family two-story building. It looks old and has the style of modern architecture.

Above the door on the first floor, there are the words "Polo Detective Agency" written on it.

The name is also very simple, the agency is named directly after the detective himself.

Ilsa took out a brass key: "This is our temporary stronghold."

Bai Ye took the key and opened the door.

Squeak...

The door opened. Contrary to Bai Ye's expectation, the inside of the detective agency was quite clean, with clear windows.

Someone should clean it regularly.

As soon as you enter the door on the first floor, there is a reception room. It is also Detective Polo's office, where he usually handles various cases.

Bai Ye saw a huge bookshelf above, filled with all kinds of books, covering all kinds of industries.

There are also a lot of loose materials on the detective's desk.

Cameras and all kinds of equipment are also available.

The second floor is where the detectives rest and their usual residence.

Very comprehensive and complete.

It is a space that is quite suitable for a white night.

"Okay, you can do your detective work. I'm going upstairs first."

Ilsa said to Bai Ye: "By the way, there is a newspaper in the mailbox at the door, don't forget to take it out."

After saying that, Ilsa went upstairs with her information.

Bai Ye knew that Ilsa must be sorting out various information again instead of resting.

He walked out of the living room, took out a newspaper from the mailbox, and closed the door behind him.

The huge headline on the first page of the newspaper is very eye-catching.

[Death list, the murderer is still at large!]

【The hottest news right now!】

It was this kind of sensational headlines again. Bai Ye then threw the newspaper aside and began to sort out the case at hand.

Now is not the time to read the newspaper. In order to hide his identity, he has to play the role of a detective.

The detective agency still needs to deal with the next case. A detective who knows nothing is likely to attract the attention of others.

Just pretend everything is normal.

Bai Ye looked at the case list on the desktop. There was only one task on it for the time being: [Track Mrs. Minsk’s husband.]

Extramarital affair?

Bai Ye looked at this kind of case and suddenly thought something similar in his mind. Unlike most people's imagination of private detectives, private detectives receive the most cases, either stalking their husbands or stalking their wives. Furthermore, private detectives receive the most cases.

Just stalking your lover.

It’s all this kind of emotional dispute anyway.

As for murder cases and serial crimes...there are almost no such things.

After all, reality is not fiction. No one would leave such an important matter to a private detective. There is a dedicated General Services Administration to handle such matters.

Bai Ye will check the specific information of the case.

[Mrs. Minsk: My husband is always missing after work lately. Sometimes he even comes back very late.]

[Every time I come back, I am sneaky. Sometimes I find opportunities to run away and not be at home on weekends. 】

[When I asked him, he said he just went to have dinner with friends. I asked him who his friends were, but he also hid it.]

[My husband must have cheated on me. But I have no evidence. Please help me take photos of my husband’s cheating. If I have evidence, I will divorce him!]

A very typical cheating case. Even a person like Bai Ye who has no detective experience knows what is going on.

He checked the time. Today is Saturday.

According to Mrs. Minsk, Mr. Minsk would sneak out of the house around two o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

It's half past one now, and there's not enough time.

Bai Ye put on his coat. He found a convenient camera on the table and a detailed map of the area. He also brought Detective Polo's mobile phone with him.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he felt a vibration in his pocket.

It's Detective Polo's cell phone.

Bai Ye answered the phone, and Mrs. Minsk's voice came from the other side: "Detective Polo? Have you been near my house? My husband is probably going out soon. Today is the perfect time to follow."

Bai Ye had just seen the nearby geographical location. The Minsk home was only about ten minutes away from his detective agency. He could get there soon.

"I'll be there in about ten minutes." Bai Ye reassured Mrs. Minsk.

"That's good. There's still half an hour, which is enough." Mrs. Minsk said nervously, "When he wants to go out later, I won't stop him."

"Wait a minute, do you usually stop him from going out?" Bai Ye asked.

"Yes. But he won't listen to me either." Mrs. Minsk lowered her voice. During the night, she heard a man's voice appear over there: "Who are you calling?"

Mrs. Minsk said a few words to fool Mr. Minsk. Bai Ye continued: "You should come as usual today and don't let him see any flaws."

While talking, Bai Ye had already walked towards Minsk's home.

"Yes, you are an experienced detective. I will do as you say." Mrs. Minsk said a few words in a hurry and hung up the phone.

As Bai Ye walked, he paid attention to the nearby terrain.

Are there any conspicuous landmarks around your building? Are there any places where you can hide in an emergency? Are there any places where people can be hidden?

He keeps these things firmly in mind in case of emergencies.

In case of a special situation like being hunted or trying to arrest someone, familiarity with the terrain can bring a lot of convenience to Bai Ye.

He quickly walked near his home in Minsk. Across the street was a single-family house. The view nearby was very empty, except for lawns.

There was no place for Bai Ye to hide at all.

He could only stand opposite and lean against a wall. He took out his mobile phone and pretended that he was playing a game.

The corner of his eyes was focused on the door of Minsk's house.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the door opened.

A middle-aged man who looked a bit rich hurriedly walked out. Behind him, Mrs. Minsk looked haggard, saying something to prevent her husband from leaving.

The two quarreled for a while, but Mrs. Minsk couldn't stand her husband and could only watch her husband walk away.

Their neighbors seemed to be used to the quarrels between couples. No one even looked out to pay attention.

Mr. Minsk was focused on arguing with his wife and how to escape quickly. He did not even see a stranger on the other side.

After he left, Bai Ye followed him directly.

Bai Ye could tell that Minsk's husband's physical fitness was very average. He had not been strengthened in any way, and he had not been equipped with a prosthetic body. He was obviously not a player.

Such a tracking target is a piece of cake for Bai Ye's physical fitness.

Even if he has no tracking experience at all.

Bai Ye's powerful control over his body, as well as his body's super high quality, can disappear from Mr. Minsk's sight before he notices it.

Sure enough, Mr. Minsk was so preoccupied that he didn't realize he was being followed.

After Mr. Minsk walked out of a street, he hailed a driverless taxi nearby and drove away.

He did not drive his own car, probably because his car would have driving records. Even under today's high-tech conditions, it is possible that Mrs. Minsk could control the route in real time.

That's why Mr. Minsk, who is not short of money, chose to take a taxi.

Baiye took his time and stopped a driverless taxi.

Such a taxi, of course, cannot have the tracking function.

If it were an ordinary driver, Bai Ye would just say: "Follow the car in front."

Self-driving taxis will not obey such orders.

Bai Ye's method is also very simple. He tells the driverless taxi a target location, and then constantly changes the target location based on the direction of Mr. Minsk ahead.

Artificial intelligence will only obey orders loyally and will not feel impatient.

About twenty minutes later.

Mr. Minsk's car finally stopped.

This is a bar.

It's still afternoon, and bars usually don't open.

But Mr. Minsk seemed to be a VIP here. He took out an electronic card from his arms and swiped it on the door. The door opened automatically and let him in.
