That security officer was silent for a moment and said:

“Judging from the scene, Morr was indeed not killed by you.

“Our ‘White Knights’ are always fair and will not wrong innocent people, but as witnesses, you have an obligation to answer some questions for me.”

“No problem.” Jiang Baimian was indeed open and honest about this matter.

The security officer looked around, considering the order of the questions.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao asked politely:

“I don’t know what to call you?”

“Ye'erge.” The security officer replied simply, then got to the point, “What did you want to find out from Morr?”

“The mysterious disappearance of the goods from Smith's 'Far Traveler' trade group.” Jiang Baimian told the truth.

As a veteran local security officer, Ye'erge had heard of this rather strange matter and asked with some surprise:

“Is Morr related to this matter? Or, are you trying to buy relevant information from him?”

“We learned from someone that part of the goods that evaporated out of thin air was purchased and collected by Morr.” Jiang Baimian didn't give Ye'erge a chance to ask who it was, and took the initiative to emphasize, “We promised to keep it a secret for that person and can't tell you their identity.”

Ye'erge stroked his golden beard:

“I will investigate further. If it is indeed necessary later, you will not be able to refuse to say it.”

What he meant was that according to the rules of the "White Knights", when a serious case is involved, private agreements are lower than the public interest. At that time, if the "Old Task Force" still wanted to keep it a secret, they would face coercive measures.

“Understood.” Jiang Baimian didn't dwell on this issue.

She didn't necessarily have to keep Ester's secret. Acting according to the rules of the "White Knights" within the "White Knights'" sphere of influence, no one could find fault with it.

Ye'erge nodded in satisfaction and looked at the shattered glass window:

“Describe the situation at that time in detail.”

Jiang Baimian told the story without missing a single detail, but concealed the fact that Shang Jianyao had used his ability on Morr.

Hearing the end, Ye'erge frowned:

“Morr took the initiative to walk to the window, with his back to the outside?

“When he heard you asking who commissioned him to collect materials and hand them over to the 'Far Traveler' trade group, he struggled, seeming to want to commit suicide?”

“Yes.” Shang Jianyao gave full affirmation, and Jiang Baimian also nodded.

Ye'erge stroked the beard beside his mouth again and muttered to himself:

“There is a big problem hidden behind the disappearance of the goods. I have to report to the deputy团长 as soon as possible…”

“Which deputy团长?” Shang Jianyao asked with bright eyes.

If it were Iman, then the "Old Task Force" might be able to take the opportunity to establish a relationship and complete the "visit" task.

——Iman is on the list of five people given by Jitis. Currently, the "Old Task Force" has visited Ester and Morr.

Ye'erge became vigilant:

“Deputy团长 Polad, is there a problem?”

Great Knight Havel has more than one assistant.

“No, just a little curious.” Shang Jianyao answered quite sincerely.

Ye'erge didn't continue this topic, but instead asked:

“Where did you chase after just now?”

“The Mining Federation building.” Jiang Baimian replied, “You know, we have a robot. It calculated the trajectory on the spot and found that the sniper was on the roof of that building.”

Then, she picked out the key points of her group's tracking and survey results and finally explained why Genava wasn't here:

“We don’t have enough manpower to investigate the inside of the building, so we can only let the robot guard nearby and monitor the people entering and exiting the front and back doors.”

Ye'erge thought for a few seconds and said:

“Thank you for your cooperation. You are not suspected for the time being and can leave, but don’t leave Ge'esiteburg recently, because you may be asked to assist in the investigation again at any time.

“Where are you staying now?”

“‘Fire and Iron’ hotel.” Jiang Baimian tentatively asked, “Officer, have you ever thought about entrusting us to investigate this matter? Our fees are very reasonable and we have a sufficient understanding of the case.”

She wanted to intervene in the pursuit of the sniper in the most reasonable way.

Once that person could be caught in a short time, it would mean catching the tail of the Eighth Research Institute.

Ye'erge looked at the group with some surprise:

“Do you hope to find out the mystery of the disappearance of the goods through that gunman, or do you want to take the opportunity to earn some bounty?”

“Both, both.” Jiang Baimian smiled.

Ye'erge stroked his beard:

“In the beginning, we will definitely investigate ourselves. If there are indeed difficulties that cannot be solved for the time being, we will consider posting tasks in the Hunter's Guild.”

He said it quite cautiously and didn't pat his chest to guarantee it, after all, this was not something he could decide.

——In most places on the Ashlands, the main role of security officers and police is to maintain order, not to solve cases. If they encounter something relatively simple, they can solve it easily. Once things are relatively complicated, they will fall into a situation where they don't have enough manpower and it is difficult to allocate a team to handle a difficult case for a long time. They can only rely on relic hunters to help.

“You can directly consider us.” Jiang Baimian didn't show any eagerness to track down, but reiterated her group's attitude.

She then reminded Ye'erge:

“The sniper may still be hiding in the building. You have to investigate in time. If you are late, he may slip away.

“You also have to watch the surveillance video. Although only the elevator is equipped with cameras, and the sniper also took the stairs when he evacuated, when he entered the building, things had not yet developed to the point where he had to shoot and kill Morr, so he may not have been so cautious and may have taken the elevator.”

“Your companion told me the gunman's suspected location before. My colleagues have already gone there.” Ye'erge didn't scold Jiang Baimian for meddling, but he also seemed a little impatient.

Do the security officers of Ge'esiteburg need you relic hunters to teach them how to investigate a case?

Jiang Baimian didn't say anything more, led the "Old Task Force" members out of Morr's house, and got into the jeep.

On the way to the Mining Federation building, Long Yuehong in the co-driver's seat took the initiative to say:

“I think the sniper has already left, and he is also an Awakened. The guards were affected by his ability and ignored or forgot the corresponding scenes.”

Pa, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and hit his left palm:

“The target is indeed still in the building!”

When Long Yuehong was speechless, Jiang Baimian rubbed her temples:

“Be serious.”

Shang Jianyao changed his expression and said seriously:

“I think Ye'erge and the others are likely to not find anything out. After we take over, where should we start?”

The official forces of Ge'esiteburg not being able to find anything means that there is no sniper in the surveillance video, no one in the building has gunpowder residue on them, and the anti-material sniper rifle cannot be found, and the guards really don't remember such a person leaving.

As for screening witnesses from passers-by, that is a long and arduous task, and the security officers will definitely hand it over to the relic hunters.

Bai Chen, who was driving, immediately said:

“Let Lao Ge check whether the surveillance video has been deleted or tampered with.”

“This is one aspect.” Jiang Baimian added, “Another aspect is to ask all the way along the street outside the back door. The main targets are the owners or employees of the street-side shops.”

This will be a very tedious task, because there is more than one route to leave.

Jiang Baimian "嗯"ed and said again:

“Also, ask Morr's neighbors and informants.

“It is impossible for the Eighth Research Institute to have only recently sent someone to secretly monitor him, and kill him as soon as they find something wrong. From the moment he started serving the Eighth Research Institute, there should be similar personnel around him.

“And in such a long time, the monitors will more or less make mistakes. No one can never make mistakes, neither you nor I.”

Pa pa pa, Shang Jianyao applauded.

While the four were talking, the jeep came to the outside of the Mining Federation building again and picked up Genava.

“Did anyone leave the building?” Shang Jianyao asked impatiently.

“Before the security officers of Ge'esiteburg came, there were three, who left through the front door. I have already recorded their appearance and will do a follow-up screening.” Genava never disappoints.

“Okay.” Jiang Baimian glanced at the sky outside the car window, “Let’s go find something to eat now, and then go back to the hotel to wait for news.”

With funds, they had a simple lunch and entered the "Fire and Iron" hotel.

Jitis was still the receptionist on the day shift today.

Her eyes were dull, and she didn't know what she was thinking. When she saw the "Old Task Force" come back, she immediately cheered up a bit:

“Morr is dead?”

“Your news is really well-informed.” Shang Jianyao sincerely praised.

Jitis wasn't proud of it, and said distractedly:

“Many people know that the Mining Federation building has been sealed off.”

Jiang Baimian smiled:

“Then do you know that Morr died at the hands of a sniper?”

The corners of Jitis's mouth curled up little by little, revealing a mysterious smile:

“Know.”
