Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 853 Magical

“Is there a result?” Jiang Baimian was a little doubtful of her own ears, “Is there a result for the whereabouts of that sniper?”

Such things had rarely happened since she transplanted the bio-cochlea.

Gitis put away her smile, slightly moved her eyebrows and said:

“You don’t believe it?”

“Believe it!” Shang Jianyao said earnestly, from the bottom of his heart.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen didn’t speak, hiding their doubts in their hearts.

Only half a day had passed, and Gitis had found out the whereabouts of that sniper?

This is simply unscientific!

Even if they abandoned all scruples and went all out, they would have to rely on luck to find the sniper in a few hours, and it would most likely not be something that could be completed in a day or two.

Gitis took out another piece of scrap paper, picked up her fountain pen, lowered her head, and busied herself on the back of it.

Jiang Baimian observed for a few seconds, judging that she was not writing words, but more like drawing.

Without knowing when, Shang Jianyao had already moved closer, stretched his neck, and glanced at it:

“Draws very well!

“Have you studied it?”

Gitis probably didn’t expect the other party to be concerned about this point, and after a while, she replied in a muffled voice:

“No.”

“Then you have a strong talent!” Shang Jianyao said earnestly, “If you have the opportunity in the future, you must learn it, don’t waste your talent.”

At this time, Jiang Baimian and others also gathered at the front desk, seeing Gitis was drawing a person in a sketch style.

The honest Genava retorted Shang Jianyao’s statement:

“No matter how well you draw, it’s meaningless, you can’t support yourself with it.”

Gitis couldn’t help but raise her head, her eyes moving back and forth between Genava and Shang Jianyao.

She didn’t seem to have seen an intelligent robot who dared to argue with its master on such a boring question.

“Old Ge, have you forgotten? The nobles in ‘Initial City’ like to keep musicians and painters.” Shang Jianyao argued reasonably.

Genava corrected his statement:

“What I mean is, it’s meaningless in the ‘White Knights’, the atmosphere here is to advocate simplicity.”

“Look at the Este family, where is it simple?” Shang Jianyao sneered.

The two of them went further and further afield, until Gitis finished the portrait.

Jiang Baimian reached out and took it, seeing a man in a knee-length coat on it.

He had a rectangular wooden box slung across his back, his hair was cut very short, and his nose was high to the point of being somewhat deformed, but not too exaggerated.

Overall, this man had nothing that would make people remember him at a glance. It would be difficult to outline a specific image if you had to describe it in words.

“Brown hair, yellowish eyes.” Gitis added.

“This is that sniper?” Long Yuehong asked in disbelief.

Gitis nodded and spread out her right palm:

“Two Great Knight gold coins.

“Wait until you find him and confirm it, then pay the remaining eight.”

“You’re wrong.” Shang Jianyao corrected, “We still have ten Knight silver coins as a deposit with you, which need to be deducted.”

Gitis was momentarily speechless, her expression a little dazed again.

Although Jiang Baimian still felt that this matter was quite magical, she still took out the only two Great Knight gold coins and handed them to Gitis.

She asked:

“Can you determine which direction the sniper went?”

Gitis took back the portrait, lowered her head again, and scribbled.

Soon, a stick-figure map appeared before the eyes of the “Old Task Force”.

“It’s roughly this route, he should have circled into the neighborhood where Mohr lives at the end.” Gitis stopped the pen in her hand.

She acted as if she had witnessed the whole process of the sniper’s escape with her own eyes… Jiang Baimian felt this way spontaneously.

This made her couldn’t help but suspect that Gitis or one of her important informants could view memories on a large scale, otherwise, how could she achieve this level.

Of course, the ability to achieve a similar effect is definitely more than just “viewing memories”.

Combining the fact that Gitis was at work today and couldn’t go out to judge, it was more likely that her partner found out the sniper’s whereabouts. After all, abilities have distance limitations. The “Fire and Iron” hotel is almost a kilometer away from the Mining Federation. Even Shang Jianyao, who has explored the depths of the "Mind Corridor," can't sit here and influence the humans there, let alone others.

Unless Gitis is a strong person in the "New World" or simply has the grace of a Ruling God.

“He actually circled back to the neighborhood where Mohr lives? We didn’t even run into him!” Shang Jianyao immediately regretted.

Jiang Baimian looked at Gitis and asked solemnly:

“Are there any other clues?”

Gitis seemed to have entered her own world again just now, and she shuddered when she heard the words, regaining her consciousness:

“No.

“But I think the information I provided is definitely worth ten Great Knight gold coins.”

“If it’s true.” Jiang Baimian nodded.

After bidding farewell to this mysterious and powerful intelligence merchant, the five members of the “Old Task Force” took the portrait and left the hall, getting into the jeep.

After the vehicle started, Long Yuehong in the back row looked back at the “Fire and Iron” hotel, unable to hide his surprise:

“Where exactly did Gitis get the information?

“It’s as if most of Gestaltburg’s residents are her informants…”

Bai Chen next to him pursed his lips and said:

“Her ability to obtain information is indeed the strongest I’ve ever seen.”

“What if most of Gestaltburg’s residents are really her informants? For example, she has ‘Heavenly Eye Vision’. She has been monitoring various events in Gestaltburg through the eyes of a large number of people, grasping a lot of information in real-time. Yes, that must be it. It is because she has been watching a monitor composed of hundreds or thousands or even more ‘screens’ that she is often distracted and likes to be in a daze!” Shang Jianyao first had a whim, and then he became more and more confident, “Everything matches up!”

If he wasn’t driving, he would have applauded himself.

If he didn’t pay attention to public morality, he would definitely use the way of honking the horn to replace applause.

The honest Genava reminded:

“‘Heavenly Eye Vision’ also has range limitations. The straight-line distance from the ‘Fire and Iron’ hotel to the Mining Federation building is nine hundred and seventy-three meters, and Gitis hasn’t left her job today.”

“Then her informant has ‘Heavenly Eye Vision’, no…” Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, sinking into deep thought.

An informant with ‘Heavenly Eye Vision’ could not cause Gitis to be unable to concentrate and be absent-minded from time to time.

Jiang Baimian cleared her throat and said:

“Now is not the time to discuss this, let’s think about the sniper’s problem.”

“He should indeed live near Mohr’s house. He can observe from a long distance during the day and snipe if there is a problem. What about at night? Does Mohr sleep on the windowsill?” Bai Chen recalled and said, “We checked the bedroom at the time and didn’t find a bed near the window.”

Long Yuehong started from his own perspective:

“Also, if there is only one sniper, monitoring Mohr day after day and night after night, regardless of his body or spirit, he would have collapsed long ago and would not be able to persist until now. I suspect that the Eighth Research Institute personnel doing this are at least two or even more, and then take turns monitoring.”

“Not bad, everyone’s analysis is very reasonable.” Jiang Baimian sincerely praised, “Even without Gitis’s information, we would slowly narrow the focus of our investigation to Mohr’s apartment and the surrounding buildings in a day or two.”

“A loss! A loss of ten Great Knight gold coins!” Shang Jianyao said with heartache.

Jiang Baimian shook her head:

“Being able to shorten our investigation time and directly provide a portrait of the sniper, those ten Great Knight gold coins are too worth it!

“Well, be careful when inquiring near Mohr’s house. Maybe there are eyes and ears of the Eighth Research Institute everywhere. Hey, then directly ‘make friends’, make friends and then ask, ask in a low voice.”

“Okay!” Shang Jianyao was already impatient.

Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief and raised a question:

“Why did the Eighth Research Institute have to make things so complicated, sending two or three people to monitor Mohr? Wouldn’t it be enough to just delete his memory?”

“Maybe Mohr is not easy to find such a useful tool, and it is equally troublesome to ‘recruit’ him again every time. Uh, frequently deleting his memory may also leave some sequelae, seriously affecting his intelligence or thinking ability.” Jiang Baimian guessed, “Moreover, normally, it should not be possible to investigate further than Este, who knows that although this person’s memory has been deleted, he can still confirm that the client is Mohr in some way.

“Honestly, the Eighth Research Institute has set up a firewall here in Mohr, which is really very cautious and careful.

“Maybe it’s worried that the news will leak through other channels?”

During the exchange, the “Old Task Force”’s jeep came to the neighborhood where Mohr lived with difficulty in the tide of people leaving work.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian got out of the car, took the portrait, and asked about the shops around the target apartment one by one.

Under the “Thought Implantation”, no one suspected them, no one felt that this matter needed to be vigilant, and they all answered their questions seriously.

After only asking three places, a middle-aged woman who ran a grocery store pointed to the apartment where Mohr lived and said:

“I’ve seen him, he lives opposite, and he comes to buy tissues every once in a while.”
