In the past, Long Yuehong couldn't think of any reason to argue, so she could only keep her mouth shut and stop discussing this issue.
It can't be that when the old world was destroyed, the places where "Zhuang Sheng" lived were targeted, right?
At this time, Bai Chen, who was driving, asked:
"Go to the intelligence merchant Mohr now?
"It's almost noon, do you want to eat first and go in the afternoon?"
"No, go now!" Shang Jianyao answered first.
He explained quite excitedly:
"What if Mohr is silenced because of the delay in eating, a little late?
"There are too many such things in the old world entertainment materials, and we can't make similar mistakes."
As he spoke, he became serious.
Belch...... Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment.
But he had to admit that what Shang Jianyao said made some sense.
Such a situation must be guarded against.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"Anyway, it's only past eleven o'clock, and it won't take much time to ask for information, so let's go find Mohr first."
If you want to catch the tail of a secret organization like the Eighth Research Institute, you must be on guard against it and not give them a chance to react!
Gitis had previously given Mohr and the others relevant information, and the "old tune team" didn't need to ask anymore, and after turning around, they arrived at a neighborhood with a complex environment.
The buildings here seem to have not been planned, arranged in a messy manner, some very close and some far away, separating one alley after another that leads to unknown directions.
The exterior wall of the apartment where Mohr lived was gray-black, giving people a heavy and silly feeling, which contrasted sharply with the luxury and brightness of Esther's house.
——Gerstburg is close to the ice field, and most of the buildings here are the first consideration for indoor warmth, which created this architectural style.
Of course, those with similar styles were mainly houses built after the destruction of the Old World, but those belonging to the Old World were not like this, because the climate had not changed drastically at that time, the ice fields had not yet expanded, and the weather in Gerstburg was not as warm as the south, but it was not as cold.
"More lives on the top floor of this building." Bai Chen parked the jeep and looked up at the road above the apartment.
Jiang Baimian observed carefully for a while, and suddenly smiled:
"The two intelligence merchants in Gerstburg are a bit eccentric, not to mention Kittis, and More's choice also reveals certain contradictions."
"What choice?" Long Yuehong asked puzzled.
Jiang Baimian glanced left and right:
"The streets and alleys here are like spider webs, quite complex, but they are basically the workers of the factories and their families, and the composition is very simple.
"In other words, as soon as a relic hunter like us enters this neighborhood, it is like a few lions coming to the middle of the flock, very conspicuous, and it can't hide the incompatibility with this place.
"Then, he can make a judgment in advance based on this, whether to leave the place where he lives immediately and hide in a spare safe house, or to make full preparations and wait for the business to come to his door.
"This is the basic quality of an intelligence businessman."
Long Yuehong suddenly realized:
"The contradiction is that he chose to live on the top floor, which is the most inconvenient for transfer and evacuation?"
"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.
At the same time, Shang Jianyao laughed:
"Wouldn't it be more convenient if his safe house was in the same building?
"Moreover, the top floor is convenient for him to observe the situation in this neighborhood in person.
"Or he has a military exoskeleton device that can easily and quickly go down from the sixth floor to the ground floor with the help of the bulge on the exterior wall."
The more he spoke, the more outrageous it became.
"According to Kittis, Mohr is old and has little energy, and such a person will not put a safe house near his home because he is afraid that the enemy will search the surrounding houses." Jiang Baimian said simply, "There is such a possibility that it is dark under the lamp, and the enemy can easily mistakenly think that he is not at home in the first place, but does Mo Er dare to gamble? He might have dared when he was young, but now......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian changed his mind:
"But if he really has something to do with the Eighth Research Institute, we do have to be on the lookout for military exoskeleton devices or other accidents.
"Lao Ge, you go up with us this time, Xiaohong, Xiaobai, you stay in the car."
She took advantage of the situation to make arrangements.
Then, Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, and Gnawa followed the address provided by Jitisi along the cold and dim corridor all the way to the top floor.
Dong dong dong!
Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to knock on the door of the Mohr family.
A violent cough sounded, and someone behind the door approached the cat's eye.
"Who are you and what are you here for?" A slightly hoarse, phlegm-like voice asked through the heavy wooden door.
"I'm here to inquire about the news." Shang Jianyao replied according to Ji Tisi's words.
After a few seconds, the door creaked open, and someone coughed twice and said:
"Come in."
Shang Jianyao immediately dodged in, followed by Jiang Baimian and Gnawa, who was originally hiding aside.
Mohr's hair was gray, but it could be seen that his hair color in his youth was golden, which was common in Gerstburg.
He hunched his back slightly, coughing from time to time, his face was not very good, and there were many patches on his skin, and he had a feeling of grayness.
At this time, the room was filled with a long-awaited smell, and this was indeed the case.
Mohr held a "United 202" in his hand, walked to the window position, turned his body, and said to Jiang Baimian and others:
"What news do you want to inquire about?"
His gaze lingered on Gnava the longest.
When Mo Er retracted his gaze, Gnawa raised his right hand, made a gesture of circling his thumb and index finger to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, and stretched the other three fingers.
This gesture means that according to scanning and detection, there are no particularly dangerous items in the room, including Mohr's body.
"We want to inquire about something." Shang Jianyao took a few steps forward, took out a silver knight coin that Jiang Baimian had given him in advance, and bounced it at Mohr.
After Mohr caught the silver coin, he said with a smile:
"This is the deposit."
"You are very generous." More's vigilance was significantly lowered, and he no longer controlled his cough.
Shang Jianyao immediately responded:
"Yes.
"Now that you have accepted our money, it is equivalent to agreeing to the establishment of the transaction, and you are a reputable person, and you will definitely not fail to answer our questions or deceive us with fake news."
He directly used "thinking implantation".
The investigation has reached this level, and there are already many people who may touch the Eighth Research Institute, and the "old tune team" does not dare to be careless at all.
Mohr's eyes were in a trance and said:
"What do you want to know?"
Shang Jianyao asked with a smile:
"Who entrusted you to buy a batch of rare metals from Esther and give them to the 'Far Traveler' business group?"
Mohr's expression changed, and his face suddenly distorted.
His whole body seemed to be in an indescribable struggle, as if there were angels and devils tug-of-war in his mind.
The next second, Mohr raised his pistol and pointed it at his head, trying to pull the trigger.
But because of the change in his expression, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian had already raised their vigilance, tensed their spirits, and reacted immediately when they found something wrong.
Syllable!
Jiang Baimian threw a grenade with his left hand that did not remove the tab, and it hit Mohr's hand accurately and ferociously, deflecting his muzzle.
With a bang, the "United 202" fell to the ground.
Bang!
A bullet flew in unexpectedly from a distance, shattering the window glass and hitting Mohr's body.
Mohr's upper body instantly collapsed, turning into blood clots and sprinkling around.
There were two more gunshots, and Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao dodged in time.
When they rolled to the shooting dead spot, the gunfire subsided.
"It's an anti-materiel sniper rifle." Gnava made a judgment based on the severity of the damage to the room and More's body.
Jiang Baimian didn't get up immediately and said in a deep voice:
"Approximate location."
"It is estimated that the enemy is 398 meters away, on top of the 17-storey building, and has now left." Gnawa, who wanted to counter-snipe, failed to do so.
This exceeded the coverage of Shang Jianyao's abilities.
The seventeen-story building...... That was the building of the Gerstburg Mining Federation...... Jiang Baimian left the hiding place and gave an order while running to the window:
"Chase after him!"
Although the other party had already evacuated now, there might still be some clues left over there.
Moreover, the anti-material sniper rifle is not so convenient to carry, it is relatively conspicuous, and if the "old tune team" can arrive there in time, they may be able to meet some witnesses.
Jiang Baimian did not wear a military exoskeleton device, but relying on her super balance and coordination ability, with the help of the protruding window sill, she jumped down layer by layer, and quickly descended from the top floor to the ground.
During this process, Jiang Baimian figured out one thing.
That is, Mohr should have been implanted with a mindset that would commit suicide in various ways when controlled and tried to reveal the information of the Eighth Research Institute.
Moreover, there was another person hiding in the dark, always monitoring his situation, killing people to silence them whenever something was wrong.
