Chapter 139 Economic Savvy
Won't it? With Jiang Baimian's psychological quality, he couldn't believe his eyes at this moment.
If it was just a simple Lei Yunsong still alive and still in Wild Grass City, she could accept it, but the problem was that the leader of the neighboring group was obviously still very active, and even involved in a shooting case, but he did not contact the company to report the situation.
Even if their station is damaged or lost, you can try to get a new one or rent it from the underground market!
Did they find out something and defected? No, if it was a defection, they would not stay in Weed City at all, they should know very well that the company would definitely pursue it...... Unless, this has become a conspiracy against the company...... Jiang Baimian retracted his gaze and looked at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao felt her gaze and took the initiative to say:
"He used killing to remind the company?"
「…… It shouldn't be that complicated, and your idea is a bit dangerous." Jiang Baimian thought, "I wonder if they were controlled by someone, and then those people used the lives of other members of the group to force Lei Yunsong to help them do some dirty work? This can explain why Chen Xufeng received information that someone had seen suspected Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei in the city, but did not mention the other three."
The other three are hostages and are being held!
"It's too complicated." Shang Jianyao seemed to have started repeating reading again.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"Indeed.
"There is no need to make it so complicated to simply find someone to do dirty work, and the motivation is not sufficient.
"Could it be revenge? Some people represented by Liu Dazhuang caused heavy losses to Lei Yunsong's group, leaving only two people? However, you have to contact the company first, if the company provides assistance, things will be much simpler......"
Jiang Baimian talked to himself for a while, then exhaled and said:
"It's useless to think about it here, let's take on the task first.
"Anyway, at least there are some clues."
Shang Jianyao replaced words with actions, walked directly to the nearest table, turned on the machine on it, and swiped the hunter badge to take over the task.
- This is an unlimited task that even novices can take.
When Jiang Baimian also took over the task, the blonde and blue-eyed Christina suddenly returned to the first floor.
This time, she didn't bring any bodyguards.
After seeing Shang Jianyao, she smiled slightly and said:
"Forget it today, there is a temporary emergency."
After saying that, the vice president of the Hunter Guild hurriedly walked to the side door and left the hall.
"Urgent?" Jiang Baimian approached Shang Jianyao and said to himself thoughtfully.
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao's response, she smiled slightly and said:
"It looks like you don't have to take risks.
"Hmm...... What details can you see from this scene just now?"
"She is only alone." Shang Jianyao replied.
"Not bad." Jiang Baimian praised, "A person who usually needs three bodyguards dares to go out alone, which means that her own strength will not be weak, or the person she wants to see makes her very reassured, and the distance will not be far? Well, there must be a lot of secrets involved in the corresponding matters."
At this time, out of the corner of Jiang Baimian's eyes, he saw that Bai Chen and Long Yuehong had also taken over the task.
So, she didn't say anything more, pointed to the door and said:
"Let's go, go see the scene."
After leaving the Hunter Guild and returning to South Street, Jiang Baimian's first notice was not the crime scene, but a bunch of people.
A bunch of relic hunters gathered around the place where Liu Dazhuang was shot and fell, eager to turn the road over.
"What's the use of this? What matters is the location of the gunman and what Liu Dazhuang has on him, not where he fell." Jiang Baimian glanced at it and shook his head.
And Liu Dazhuang's body had already been carried away by the people of the city defense army.
Able to identify the building where the bullet was fired, Jiang Baimian took Shang Jianyao and entered the corresponding courtyard.
In the next second, she was startled by the scene in front of her:
There was a long queue outside a certain staircase!
"What are you doing?" Jiang Baimian said subconsciously.
Shang Jianyao observed carefully for a few seconds and replied:
"Visit."
"Queuing up to visit the rooftop?" Jiang Baimian suddenly felt that such a scene was a bit absurd and funny.
There are more relic hunters taking on this mission than you can imagine!
She walked a few steps quickly, came to the back of the line, touched the arm of the man in front of her, and asked with a smile:
"What are you lining up with?"
The man first turned around impatiently, and then smiled:
"Wait to talk to the witnesses and see what new clues can be unearthed."
Such a clue can be worth at least 10 Ore.
"Okay...... Thank you." Jiang Baimian was both a little interested in this wonderful situation and quite funny.
She hurriedly winked at Shang Jianyao, took the lead and approached the staircase, and shouted as she walked:
"We live here, we live here......
In the sporadic sounds of "whether you can take the job or not" and "how much is it per night", Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao squeezed up the stairs and climbed all the way to the fourth floor.
The team of relic hunters "finished" here and stopped in front of a half-closed door.
Jiang Baimian poked his head and found that there were crooked words written in charcoal on the door:
"The only witness to the shooting, the conversation time is 2 kas per minute."
1 Ore is equal to 10 draceas, and 1 drase is equal to 10 cas.
「…… Also, he is quite smart." Jiang Baimian muttered to himself in a somewhat complicated tone.
Moreover, this price is also set very well, and if there is a little more, many relic hunters will have to consider whether it is worth it, or whether to temporarily form a larger team.
As for now, they believe that they can come up with a clever way to ask different questions and extract exclusive clues.
Shang Jianyao also sighed:
"Why don't you accept one bun at a time? This can be eaten for a month."
"Aren't you tired of it?" Jiang Baimian responded casually, and set his sights on another room on this floor.
Many people left the door ajar, looking at the long line with envy, and from time to time someone shouted a few times:
"He is not the only witness!"
"Maybe I saw it too, but I don't remember it now......"
After the initial astonishment, surprise and sighs, Jiang Baimian gradually adapted to this situation and said to Shang Jianyao with great interest:
"In the settlements dominated by the Hunter Guild, the civic culture, if they are considered citizens, also has different characteristics."
This is one of the aspects that Jiang Baimian is most interested in.
However, she didn't make any more observations, and led Shang Jianyao to climb to the fifth floor and climb to the rooftop in a hurry.
There are few relic hunters here, and there are city defense forces to maintain order to prevent someone from inadvertently destroying the site.
Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen, who caught up with him, looked at each other, walked to the street parapet on the rooftop, chose a seat, and said to himself:
"The gunman probably completed the shooting here."
She witnessed the shooting.
Bai Chen leaned next to Jiang Baimian, pretended to be holding a sniper rifle, and tried to feel it.
"It's a bit awkward." She made an evaluation.
When Liu Dazhuang was shot, he almost walked to the center of South Street, only three or four meters away from the building.
From this angle, if you want to hit the target from here, the sniper has to lean out of the rooftop, which will show a slightly distorted posture.
"If it were me, I would shoot Liu Dazhuang before he walked out of Hongluo Alley." Bai Chen retracted his gaze and added.
——The area on the left side of the rooftop can monitor the entire Red Luo Alley, making it easy and convenient to snipe the enemies inside.
"Does it mean that the gunman was not in this position before Liu Dazhuang walked out of Hongluo Alley, and then hurriedly took his place and completed the shooting?" Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and pretended to be discussing with him.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"Maybe he couldn't hold it back and went to the toilet first."
「…… It's a reason." Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled and said, "You can look for it later to see if there are any traces of excretion on the rooftop and on the fifth floor."
Obviously, such traces will not be missed by the many and powerful relic hunters.
Jiang Baimian then said:
"Think about it from another angle, how can the gunman be sure that Liu Dazhuang will come out of Hongluo Alley? If he knew it very early, why did he seem so rushed?"
After asking the question, she thought about answering on her own:
"Could it be that the gunman has other accomplices? They only knew Liu Dazhuang in this area, but there was no further information, so they scattered in several alleys opposite, looking for targets, and when they found traces of Liu Dazhuang, they immediately informed the gunman through walkie-talkies and other equipment, and then, the gunman hurried here from a certain location on the rooftop?"
At this time, Bai Chen had already walked back and forth along the side of the rooftop facing the street.
She said as if she was talking to Long Yuehong:
"On the other side, you can monitor Huangjiao Alley, but the visibility from Hongluo Lane is very poor."
Wong Kok Lane is an alley adjacent to Hongluo Alley.
Hearing this, Jiang Baimian suddenly realized:
"The gunman was monitoring Huangjiao Lane at first, and his companion was in Hongluo Alley, and when he obtained certain information, he immediately changed his sniper position......"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had already walked to the area on the far right side of the rooftop, and then he squatted down and carefully examined the ground and wall.
"Some people have stepped on it, some people have rubbed it, and the traces are relatively fresh." He returned truthfully.
Many relic hunters then looked this way, some were confused, and some were thoughtful.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said to Shang Jianyao:
"There's nothing to look at, let's go down."
Shang Jianyao didn't say much, followed the team leader, went all the way down, and returned to South Street.
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"Let's go into Hongluo Lane and look for clues left by the gunman's fellow shooter."
Hongluo Lane is only more than two meters wide, and the ground floor is dotted with shops such as "repair shops" and "second-hand clothing shops".
At this time, several relic hunters held photos of Liu Dazhuang and asked different stores in turn, wondering if they had seen anyone Liu Dazhuang had contact with before his death.
The answers that Jiang Baimian and others witnessed were all shaking their heads.
"How to find it?" Long Yuehong, who was a meter away, asked Bai Chen.
Jiang Baimian immediately curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to Shang Jianyao with a smile:
"Of course I asked with a photo."
What she took out was not a photo of Liu Dazhuang, nor a photo of Lei Yunsong, who was suspected of being a gunman, but a photo of another person:
A photo of Lin Feifei, another member of the old tune group.
