Elini carefully picked up a bullet casing from the ground, looked at it, and threw it into the bag: "It should be here. There is no mark on the bullet casing, so the source cannot be confirmed."
"Hmm." Bernard responded lightly, just standing there looking at the horizon, as if thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about, sir?" the female agent asked.
"I'm just wondering something." Bernard lowered his head and looked down at the bell tower: "Why... why are the three gunmen shooting here?"
"Maybe because it's safe here?"
"Safe enough?" Bernard chuckled: "Even if it is a shooting five kilometers away, it is already difficult for our people to detect it. Elini, safety is not as far as possible. Look at the distance from here to
How many high-rise buildings are there on the road to Beverett? Some of them are taller than the church, some are more hidden than the church, and some have better views. Even if I am not a professional sniper, I can know that this is definitely not a
It was a good location for sniping, otherwise it would have been impossible for as many as twenty people to hear the gunshots. The three snipers were lucky that no soldiers passed by at the time, but this 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 launch precise attacks fifteen kilometers away with a hit rate of over 80%?"
"Just a few good guns."
"It's not just the gun that's good." Bernard suddenly poked his head out and pointed outside the church: "Look there."
Ellie stuck her head out, but she found nothing.
"Pay attention." Bernard laughed: "There was a broken tile there. The fragments fell from the air and fell to the door of the church. And about ten meters away from the church, there was an obvious wear and tear. When I came, I
After taking a look, judging from the size, there should have been a footprint that went deep into the ground, but it was a pity that it was destroyed."
"You mean..." Elini's eyes widened.
"If you ask the pastors in the church now, they will definitely swear to you in the name of God that no one sneaked in from here. Of course they didn't lie, because people jumped up directly."
"Oh my god!" Elini covered her mouth: "I thought they flew up with mechas."
He climbed to the bell tower without using a mecha and just jumped. At least in the eyes of the female agent, the opponent's strength was quite astonishing.
"Wait!" Elini suddenly reacted: "If it jumped up directly, why is there only one stepping point?"
"Now you understand?" Bernard smiled and pointed to the two tread marks below: "Only one person jumped up from here, but three people shot here. Isn't it interesting? Okay, this
Let’s put the issue aside for now.”
He retracted his body and stood back to the position where Shen Yi once stood: "They stood here, here, and here, aiming at a target fifteen kilometers away and shooting. There was no trace of support, indicating that they directly held the gun and fired.
. Some people saw the fire, one after another, like fireworks... a powerful force, completely ignoring the recoil. They did not leave until the woman left. There was no trace of downward movement, and it seemed as if they disappeared out of thin air.
."
"These are three real masters." Elini said, she finally admitted that the other party was a master.
"Yes, so the question is here...why would three masters choose to open fire at such a location that is not a place that masters should choose? Think about it, Elini, think about it." Bernard asked with a smile.
The female agent frowned and thought seriously for a while, then her eyes lit up: "The first shot to shatter the Colossus of the God of War was launched several minutes after the prison robbery had taken place. At that time, the Colossus of the God of War had even been with
The female assassin struggled for a while. If these three snipers were premeditated responders, they should not have waited until that time. So..."
"Correct answer!" Bernard clapped his hands: "So they made an impromptu attack and rescued their partners. It is for this reason that they had no time to choose a better sniping location, so they could only do it here...
Shoot at a close range!"
"That's right, shoot nearby! They must have been nearby before the incident." Elini became excited: "They knew that their partners were in danger, so they took action immediately."
"Yes, so the question comes up again. Don't you think this is interesting? Why do the rescuers have three powerful gunmen who know that the operation to rescue Carmela is unfolding, but do not prepare in advance? Why do they appear at the same time?
Near the church, there are only traces of one person coming up?"
The female agent opened her mouth and finally said: "I can only explain the first question. This shows that they are very confident in this operation. They are so confident that they did not think it was necessary to take action."
Bernard clapped his hands: "Good explanation."
“What’s the answer to the latter question?”
"I don't know either. There are currently 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 face 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 seemed that apart from knowing that the gunman had been near the church beforehand, she found nothing.
Bernard replied: "There are no clues here, so let's look elsewhere. Why not think about prison? A basic element of solving crimes 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 from here. I have received information from the prison that the female assassin who rescued people went directly to the minor criminal area, which means that the assassin already knew where Carmela was before taking action."
"That's true."
"So we might as well start with this aspect first." Bernard smiled: "Go and investigate how many people have tried to get close to Carmela after she was arrested. If the enemy wants to save her, it is likely that they will contact her in advance.
Contact. Also, find some people who have dealt with the female assassin and ask about the situation. Maybe we can also get some clues."
"Understood, I'll do it right away. What about here?"
"We can't let go of the bell tower either. Send someone to investigate and see what happened between nine and ten o'clock last night, centered on the church..."
Bernard looked around, his eyes resting on several taller buildings nearby.
He calculated the distance, and then said: "Who are there within a hundred and twenty meters with the church as the center? It should be this distance. If it were further away, they would not have to choose the church. With luck, two
The same people may appear online, and that is a target of serious suspicion."
"I'll do it right away." The female agent turned and left.
Bernard still stayed on the bell tower, looking at the bullet casings on the ground, seeming to be thinking about something.
He murmured to himself: "If he left out of thin air, then how did the footprints under the church get erased... Was there one gunman or three... or more?"

Factory office.
Michelle stood in front of Shen Yi's desk: "Ye Jiguang has found the adventurer. His name is Garnett, he is a shadow assassin, and he currently lives in a hotel in the east gate."
"Alone?" Shen Yi raised his head and asked.
"It seems like they were scattered during the camp selection. This guy was unlucky and ended up in the Technology Continent alone."
"That'll be easy. Let Yiyu go there."
"Let me go." Michelle replied with a smile: "What happened yesterday was probably a misunderstanding. Letting Chief Zhou go may increase his defensive mentality. It's better for me to handle it."
Shen Yi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Well, that's fine. You go and tell him that it's over after it's over. Team Broken Blade won't cause trouble for him. Of course, he'd better keep his mouth shut."
"I heard that he used a life-saving tool to block the Glory Holy Inquisitor. Do you need to explain it?"
"That's not necessary." Shen Yi replied flatly: "It will only make him think that he has a handle on us and can blackmail us, not to mention that to satisfy him, you need to satisfy many people."
The Science and Technology Continent knows that there is more than one gentle adventurer. If the Broken Blade Team bows to Garnett because of this, it will only make others think they can take this opportunity to threaten 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. Anyone who dares to betray them may wish to consider what to do.
A strong team has its own majesty, and sometimes arrogance itself is the best talisman.
Shen Yi doesn't like being arrogant, but that doesn't mean he won't use it.
"I understand." Michelle replied: "I will take care of it."
"I can rest assured that you are doing the work." Shen Yi said with a smile: "By the way, the Evil Emperor asked Ji Guang and the Manniu Team to keep an eye on this guy for a while. If this guy does anything bad, just kill him. If not, forget it. It is not appropriate to cause trouble at this time."
"I will."
Watching Michelle leave, Shen Yi carefully thought about any mistakes and omissions in yesterday's action and what needs to be made up for. Since the incident happened in a hurry, thinking about it now, there are still many problems in the action itself.
But just as he was thinking about it, Atkins called and wanted to discuss with him the battle order of the Second Army and other issues. Shen Yi had to turn his attention back to this aspect.
There are too many tasks and work to do, and even Shen Yi has to choose to give up some.
The unique offensive mentality of a strong man makes him more accustomed to focusing on aspects that can gain benefits, rather than wiping away some minor problems.
After all, not every small problem will lead to a big problem.

Office of the Chief of Operations, Imperial Investigation Service.
Elini stood in front of Bernard Jenks' desk and handed over a thick piece of information.
"This is the record of all visitors after Carmela was arrested, as well as the information on all the homes within 120 meters of the church and the people who passed by during that period. After excluding impossible objects, there is a total of..."
"There are no impossible objects!" Bernard Jenks bluntly paraphrased his assistant: "There are no impossible objects in solving crimes. Removing the so-called impossible objects without authorization is 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, he must write it down and present it to me!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is not here, but the residence of Earl Courtney 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. If he refuses...ask the general to send a notice."
"But that's easy to offend, boss."
"You know, Elini, the first condition that determines whether a law enforcement officer is excellent 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 willing to. This is
Difference, this also applies to other people who hold power!"
"I understand, boss."
"Don't worry, Earl Courtney has a great spirit and will be able to understand the difficulties of small people like us and won't argue with us easily." Seeing Elini's worried look, Bernard smiled and reassured her: "Look
I've offended so many people, why don't I just sit here and be your boss?"
"You could have been my boss's boss."
Bernard looked up and laughed, then said seriously: "I will see all the information tonight."
"You'll get it."
That night, there was a thick pile of information piled up in front of Bernard's desk. Bernard looked through the pages carefully.
