Embers Ad Infinitum

Shang Jianyao, who was sitting outside the golden elevator, calmly replied:

"It will solve you too.

“There won’t be a single thing left out.”

Shang Jianyao still looked at the rolling red trace, and suddenly sighed:

"DiMarco's remaining power is of little use."

"That's because he is dead and the owner of the 'Blind Ring' is still alive." Shang Jianyao at the door of the golden elevator naturally understood what the "other party" was talking about.

He originally wanted the remaining power of the "Destiny Bead" and the aura in the "Blind Ring" to balance each other. As a result, the green "bead" was directly pushed to the side, and some energy was wasted, so that he could only reluctantly I reluctantly used it again.

Shang Jianyao sighed:

"I thought becoming a ghost would be more sinister."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked around the golden elevator, seemingly studying the situation in other parts of the island.

"Don't you think about how to eliminate this hidden danger?" Shang Jianyao asked funnyly at the door of the golden elevator.

Shang Jianyao thought and said:

"Keep it for now. Maybe the person opposite is willing to make a friend and help us deal with you."

"Don't you understand yet? If you don't solve the problem in your heart, you will never be able to truly defeat me. At most, we will die together." Shang Jianyao at the door of the golden elevator said calmly, "I know, you will definitely say that you will die if you die. , there will be successors, but then, you will never understand why dad never came back."

Shang Jianyao thought carefully:

"Too."

He acted very calmly, after all, it was his other self.

Red Giant Wolf District, No. 19 Rosta Street, a building with its own courtyard.

This is the headquarters of the "Hand of Order", the law enforcement agency of the "Prime City".

Wall, who was as tall as a wall, entered the conference room with a pen and paper.

At a glance, he saw several familiar people:

The assistant of the Golden Apple District Order Officer, Constance, a slender and handsome middle-aged gentleman; the other assistant of the Golden Apple District Order Officer, Theodore, who has a bad relationship with Wall...

——Although the gladiatorial arena incident belongs to the Red Giant Wolf District, because it involves nobles, the higher-ups attach great importance to it, so Derien, the order officer of the Golden Apple District, also sent several capable officers to help.

The person presiding over this meeting was the Red Giant Wolf District Order Officer and Wall's immediate boss, Trevis.

This is an aristocrat, wearing a well-tailored formal suit, with black hair and eyes, a deep outline, and a certain temperament that has been accumulated over the years.

Travis looked around and saw that everyone had arrived, nodded slightly and said:

"You don't need me to repeat the details of this case, do you?"

"No need." Wall stamped the paper with his capped pen.

"I don't think I need to emphasize the importance any more. This was given directly to our 'Hand of Order' by the Senate." After Trevis finished speaking, he directly named him, "Wall, what do you think?"

Wall looked down at the key words recorded on the paper and said calmly:

“The thing that puzzles me the most is, what did those people do?

"No one appeared to be harmed at the scene and no important items were lost."

"They stole very important information." Travis replied with a good attitude, "From Marcus. As for the rest, you are not able to know, and even I am not too clear about it."

Vol is the son-in-law of the new senator Gaius.

Marcus? Constance, Theodore, and Wall all repeated this name.

They looked at each other and found that there was more or less doubt in each other's expressions.

Although Marcus came from a distinguished family, he was also restricted by his family background. He could neither join politics nor join the army. He was like a rare animal in captivity. He seemed to be respected, but in fact he had little status.

What very important information can such a person possess?

As his thoughts swirled, Theodore found that he was actually looking at Wall, and quickly turned his neck to look away.

He did not hide his disgust and disgust at all.

Wall asked a question again:

"Sir, what other information can you provide about those three suspects?

"I mean in terms of strength."

Because there seems to be no battle in this matter, the relevant information is almost non-existent. For the assistants of the Order Officer and the Sheriff who are running on the front line, this is very important and determines the life of everyone here. .

Travis glanced at his assistant and asked him to answer.

His assistant picked up a piece of information and read it according to the script:

"At least one of the three targets is an awakened person. He is a rather extreme person who is used to taking risks and doesn't pay much attention to his own life. He owns one or more extraordinary items...

"The cooperation of the three of them successfully deceived an awakened person at the 'soul corridor' level..."

Theodore, Constance, Wall and others were originally relatively calm, but upon hearing the following words, they were all inevitably moved.

This matter actually involves an awakened person at the "soul corridor" level!

And those three targets stole important information from under the nose of such a powerful man!

No wonder the Senate attaches so much importance to it... Wall nodded invisibly:

"I don't have any problems for the time being. The specific ideas are just vague ideas at the moment."

"Are you planning to get inspiration from other people's suggestions?" Theodore, an ordinary-looking man with black hair and brown eyes, sneered.

He paused and said while thinking:

"The current investigation directions are as follows: First, use the images left by the three targets to conduct a large-scale investigation, but they are obviously disguised. Unless you can find someone who knows them, it will be difficult to gain anything; second, Start with the vehicles they use; third, ask Marcus to see if any strangers have tried to approach him..."

As soon as Theodore finished speaking, a police officer from the Red Giant Wolf District added:

"I have investigated the target's vehicle and it comes from a car rental company. The person who rented the car gave a false name and also disguised it."

"Damn it, can't those guys seriously verify the identity of the person renting the car?" Another assistant of Red Wolf District Order Officer Travis complained.

No one responded to him.

All members of the "Hand of Order" present knew that with the administrative capabilities of the "Prime City" and the gray and chaotic environment, this was simply impossible to achieve.

Then, one direction after another was proposed, or was rejected on the spot, or entered the investigation process, but there was never any progress that made these veterans shine.

At the end, Wall spoke again:

"I would like to mention two things:

"First, I actually encountered the three targets at that time, but a shooting happened, which attracted my attention and prevented me from making effective observations..."

He took the opportunity to mention his experience of going to the arena to borrow electric poles to charge, and finally said:

"I didn't have any suspicion at the time, but now I think the two cases fit together and that the shooting was an effort by the target's companion to cover their exit.

"From the ballistic traces, we can deduce where the target companion was shot and then look for witnesses."

Theodore immediately laughed and said:

"The target's companion must have also disguised himself."

"Yes, but no clue can be easily let go. No one can always remain perfect and not make mistakes, and the mistakes may be hidden in those seemingly worthless clues." Wall said unceremoniously respond.

Constance nodded in agreement:

“At least we now know that the target team is likely to be more than three people.

"This is important."

Wall looked around, his expression gradually becoming serious:

"That's the first thing.

"Second, I'm wondering. There were only two security personnel besides me at the time. What was the shooting cover for?"

"Shootings in other neighborhoods will not have any impact on the security personnel of the Supreme Arena. It will only make them more vigilant." Constance cooperated with the analysis.

Wall nodded:

“So, my preliminary conclusion is that the shooting was to lure me away.

"But why lure me away? I just went to the security staff to ask about the reason for the power outage and to see if I should wait."

Upon hearing this, the assistants to the order officer and the peace officers present fell silent, showing solemn expressions.

Based on their experience, it is not difficult to think of possible reasons.

"I suspect that I have seen those three targets before they were disguised. They were worried about being recognized by me and asked their companions in the distance to create shootings to lure me away." Wall gave his own answer.

Theodore didn't target him anymore, frowned and said:

"But you just said that you don't know the three people in the surveillance video, and you don't feel familiar with them."

Wall thought and said:

"This could explain:

"I may have only met them once or twice, had a few conversations, and barely left any impression."

"Then how should we check?" Theodore asked.

At this time, Travis, the order officer of the Red Giant Wolf District who presided over the meeting, said in a deep voice:

"Go visit the Crystal Consciousness Cult and ask them for help so that Wall can browse his memory."

…………

At Ugo Hotel, the rested "Old Tune Team" returned to the lobby and prepared to check out.

——After doing such a big thing, they have to replace a batch of safe houses one after another, and they must be "cut" from the original ones.

While watching Ugo go through the check-out procedure, Shang Jianyao suddenly asked:

"Is there any way to find a person? When you only know the name, appearance and approximate area of ​​residence."

"Issuing tasks to ruin hunters." Ugo raised his head and glanced, "Or find those monks who claim to be able to foresee people and events."

Monk... While Jiang Baimian was muttering to himself silently, Shang Jianyao said "oh" twice and then said:

"We encountered the Nightmare Horse in the mountains of the North Shore, and it was pursuing the white wolf."

At this moment, Ugo, who had always been expressionless, seemed to not believe his ears.

He quickly returned to normal, looked at the people in the "Old Tune Group" and said:

"There is someone who wants to see you."

who? Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to ask this question.

Jiang Baimian considered and said:

"Your friend?"

"That's right." Ugo replied.
