Infinity Armament

St. Mary's Church Bell Tower.

Eleni carefully lifted a shell case from the ground, looked at it and threw it into the bag: “This should be it, the shell case is not marked and the source cannot be identified. ”

“Mmm.” Bernard responded faintly, just standing there looking out into the sky, seemingly thinking about something.

“What are you thinking, sir?” The female agent asked.

“Just weird things.” Bernard lowered his head and looked under the bell tower: “Why... why would those three shooters shoot here? ”

“Maybe it's because it's safe enough here? ”

“Safe enough?” Bernard smiled softly: "Even shooting five kilometers away is already hard for our people to spot. Eleni, the safer it is, the better. Look at the number of high-rise buildings on the way from here to Beverly. Some of them are taller than churches, some are more hidden than churches, and some have better horizons. Even if I'm not a professional sniper, I can tell that this is definitely not a good place to snipe, otherwise it's unlikely that as many as twenty people will hear gunshots. Those three snipers had good luck and no soldiers were passing by, but that in itself illustrated how dangerous the choice was. ”

“Maybe they're amateur snipers? ”

“Three amateur shooters using a large number of special bullets capable of striking precisely 15 kilometres away with a hit rate of more than 80 percent? ”

“Just a few good guns. ”

“It's not just good guns.” Bernard burst out of nowhere to point outside the church: “Look there. ”

Eleni scouted out, but she didn't find anything.

“Pay attention to observations.” Bernard laughed: “There was a piece of tile that fell out of the air and fell to the church door. And about 10 meters from the church, there was an obvious piece of wear, and when I came, I looked at it, and in size, there should have been a footprint deep into the ground, which was unfortunately destroyed. ”

“You mean...” Eleni stared wide-eyed.

“If you ask those priests in the church now, they will swear to you in the name of God that no one will dive in from here. Of course they weren't lying because people jumped straight up. ”

“Oh, my God!” Eleni, keep your mouth shut: “I thought they were flying up with the armor. ”

Jumping into the bell tower without using a mechanical armor is amazing, at least in the eyes of a female agent.

“Wait!” Eleni reacted suddenly: "If it jumped straight up, why only one stomping point? ”

“Now you understand?” Bernard smiles, referring to the two slip marks below: "It's funny how only one person jumps up here and three people shoot here, isn't it? All right, let's put this thing on hold. ”

He retracted his body and returned to the position where Shen Yi had stood: "They stood right here, here, and here, aiming at the target 15 kilometres away and shooting. There are no signs of support, indicating that they fired directly with their guns. Someone sees the fire, and then, again, it's like a flame… a powerful force, completely ignoring the back seat force. They didn't leave until after the woman left, and there were no signs of downward movement, which seemed to disappear empty-handed. ”

“It's three real masters.” Eleni said she finally admitted she was good at it.

“Yes, so here's the question… why would the three masters choose to fire in such a place that they should not? Think about it, Eleni, think about it.” Bernard asked laughingly.

The female agent raised her eyebrows and thought seriously for a moment, then her eyes lit up: “The first shot at breaking the statue of the god of war began minutes after the looting had taken place, when the statue of the god of war had even been entangled with the woman assassin for a while. If the three snipers were premeditated responders, they should not wait until then. So..."

“Correct!” Bernard clapped his hands: "So they were temporarily willing to attack and save their partner. It is precisely for this reason that they have not had time to pick a better sniper location and can only shoot here... close! ”

“That's right, close fire! They must have been around here before it happened.” Eleni got excited: “They knew their partner was in danger, so they started right away. ”

“Yes, so here comes the problem again. Don't you think that's funny? Why did the rescuer have three powerful gunmen who knew the rescue of Carmela was under way, but did not prepare for it? Why do they show up near the church at the same time with only one person coming up? ”

The female agent opened her mouth and finally said: "I can only explain the first question, which shows that they are very confident in the operation and that they did not think it necessary to do so. ”

Bernard clapped his hands: "Nice explanation. ”

“What about the answer to the latter question? ”

“Nor do I know that there are many more clues to the answer to the second question, but we know that there are many special, strange, mysterious forces in the world, and perhaps the enemy we are facing is one of them… In this case we cannot reasonably analyse the question.” Bernard shook his head.

“So there's still no clue?” The female agent was a little disappointed. Looks like nothing but knowing that the shooter was near the church beforehand.

Bernard replied, "There's no clue here, so look somewhere else. Why don't you think about prison? An essential element in solving a case is not to isolate all incidents. The fact that the military did not put us in charge of Carmela does not mean that we cannot do it from here. I have received information from the prison that the female assassins who saved lives went directly towards the light section, indicating that the assassins knew where Carmela was before the operation. ”

“That's true. ”

“So let's start with this.” Bernard laughs: “You investigate how many people have tried to get close to Carmela since her arrest, and the enemy is likely to contact her in advance to save her. Ask some other people who have dealt with the assassin for information, and maybe get some clues. ”

“Understood, I'll do it. And this way? ”

“This side of the bell tower can't be spared. You should send someone to investigate and see the church-centric period between 9: 00 and 10: 00 last night..."

Bernard looked around and looked at several taller buildings nearby.

He calculates the distance, and he says, "Who's in the center of the church for 120 meters?" That should be the distance, and if they go any further, they don't have to choose the church. With good luck, there may be the same people on both lines, which is a major suspicious target. ”

“I'll do it.” The female agent turned around and left.

Bernard still stood on the bell tower, looking at the shell casings all over the floor, seemingly thinking about something.

He muttered to himself: "If you left empty, how did you erase that footprint under the church... was the shooter one or three... or more? ”

Factory office.

Michelle stood at Shen Yi's desk: "Ye Jiguang has found the adventurer. His name is Garnett, he is a shadow assassin and currently lives in a hotel in the East Gate. ”

“Alone?” Shen Yi looked up and asked.

“It seems, presumably, that the camp was dispersed when it chose, and this guy, unfortunately, went to the tech continent alone. ”

“Then let Yi Yu go. ”

“Let me go.” Michelle replied with a smile: “Yesterday's incident should be a misunderstanding, letting Chief Zhou go may improve his precautionary mind, so why don't I take care of it? ”

Shen Yi thought about it and nodded: “Well, that's fine. Go and tell him that things are over. The Blade Breaker team won't bother him. Of course, his mouth better be tight. ”

“I heard he used a life-saving prop to shield Shining Sage. Need a word? ”

“That's not necessary.” Shen Yi answered categorically: "That will only make him think that he pinched our handle can blackmail us, let alone satisfy him, many people need to be satisfied. ”

The tech continent knows that there is more than one gentle adventurer, and if the Blade Squad bows its head to Garnett for that reason, it will only allow others to think that this is an opportunity to blackmail the Blade Squad.

That's not a good thing.

Failure to compensate Ghanit means that the Blade Breakers will not accept any threat posed by this matter, and if they dare to betray them, do whatever you can.

Strong teams have their own majesty, and sometimes brutality itself is the best amulet.

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

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

“Don't worry about your business.” Shen Yi chuckled: “By the way, the Evil Emperor's side let Ji Guang and the Barbarian Bull team look at it a little. If anything bad happens to this guy, kill him. If not, forget it. It's not a good time to have more lives at this time. ”

“I will. ”

Looking at Michelle's departure, Shen Yi thought carefully about what was missing from yesterday's operation and what needed to be remedied. Because of the rush, there are still many problems with the operation itself.

However, just as he was thinking, Atkins' call had already been made, and Shen Yi had to turn his attention back to discussing such aspects as the battle sequence of the Second Corps with him.

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

The aggressive mentality characteristic of the strong makes him more accustomed to concentrating on profitable aspects rather than wiping his ass for the small problems he once had.

After all, not every little problem can cause big problems.

Afternoon.

Office of the Chief of Operations, Imperial Bureau of Investigation.

Eleni stood at Bernard Jenks' desk and handed over a thick piece of material.

“This is the record of all the visitors after Carmela's arrest, 120 meters around the church, all the families and those passing by during that period, removing the impossible objects, a total of…”

“There are no impossible objects!” Bernard Jenks unnecessarily puts in an assistant's words: “It is in itself an unjust and unscientific practice to solve a case without an impossible object and remove the so-called impossible object without authorization, even if His Majesty the Emperor, if he appears on the visitors' list or near the church, write it down for me! ”

“His Majesty the Emperor is not present, but the residence of Count Courtney was near the bell tower, where there were many dignitaries that night, but we have not yet obtained the list. ”

Bernard leaned against the back of the chair: "Then get the list, and if he refuses... ask the general to send a notice. ”

“But that's easy to offend, boss. ”

“You know, Eleni, deciding whether a law enforcement officer is good is first and foremost not his ability, but his courage. The difference is that some people are willing to offend others to get things done right, while others are reluctant, and this applies equally to others in power! ”

“I understand, boss. ”

“Don't worry, Count Courtney's grandeur will make it easy to understand a small figure like us and not easily compare with us.” Looking at Eleni worried, Bernard smiled and comforted her: "Look how many people I've offended, don't you want to sit here and be your boss? ”

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

Bernard chuckled and said positively, "I'm going to see all the information tonight. ”

“You'll get it. ”

Bernard's desk had a huge pile of material that night, and Bernard looked at it carefully, page by page.

The office lights were on all night.
