Chapter 80: Hunting for the Lawbreaker Killer (Part 1)
Blanco was pacing back and forth in the office, looking irritable and angry. No one would blame him for hiding in the corner and not using his body to block the bullet for Mr. Director, but he himself was very angry at the "weakness" on the spot. This kind of anger
It quickly moved to other places, such as anger towards the killer, or suspicion towards another person present - Bai Lin.
"Why do you know this bullet cannot be recovered with magic?" Blanco said as if he had found a clue.
"Because I just met a lawbreaker. Just a few days ago, he shot me with a special pistol on the streets of Cairo. This kind of bullet cannot be resisted by armor." Bai Lin said calmly.
.
Blanco inquired about Bai Lin's experience in detail. He heard that magic was ineffective against the spellbreaker's secret armor. Blanco seemed a little arrogant and suspicious, thinking this was nonsense.
"The Spellbreaker Association has been around since the Crusades. They are good at fighting skills, but I have never heard of the magic immune armor you mentioned!" Blanco said.
Bai Lin spread his hands and said: "This is my personal experience. I can't guarantee that the person who launched the attack today is a lawbreaker. Maybe anyone who gets that kind of weapon can easily kill the wizard."
Blanco had already heard that it was Bai Lin who saved Elder Ross. Bai Lin had no flaws in his actions from beginning to end. After questioning, Blanco had to let him go, but before leaving, Bai Lin said: "I
I do have an idea that may not be mature.”
Blanco frowned and said, "I hope you will keep your story short."
Bai Lin said: "Assuming that the weapons and armor of the spellbreaker have a strong repulsive force against magic, which can repel the influence of magic on them and form a state of magic immunity, then how did the killer escape with such weapons and use magic?
Woolen cloth?"
Blanco has been a veteran detective for many years, and he immediately thought of the problem and said: "You mean, the killer might have left the weapon in the opera house?"
Bai Lin said: "Not only do you keep it there, you will probably go back to get it. This kind of weapon must be extremely precious and rare, otherwise the magic breakers would have already started a magic war!"
"This is already a war!" Blanco said solemnly.
No wizard has ever studied Muggle firearms, because many wizards' spells can withstand firearm attacks, but Bai Lin is an earthling who has played FPS games. Although he has not fired a gun personally, he still has some common sense.
For example, the firearm used in the attack at the Opera House had a slow rate of fire, a caliber of nearly 8 mm, and equally astonishing accuracy and power. It was probably not a pistol. Bai Lin thought of a gun - the German-made Mauser Kar98K rifle, which became the famous 98K in later generations.
Sniper rifle.
This kind of gun is 1.1 meters long and has a large target. If the opera house has surveillance, it should be easy to find the person who brought it in. But this is still 1993, and it is the territory of wizards. There is no need to monitor the lights. The killer can
The gun is put into a piano case or something like that in the movie The Killer Isn't Cold and can be easily brought in.
It was easy to bring him in, but not so easy to hide him. Blanco mobilized five outstanding Aurors and secretly returned to the opera house with Bai Lin.
After the shooting, the scene was immediately cordoned off, evidence collected and cleaned up. However, when the guards saw the prisoner teleporting away with his own eyes, the clues were cut off and all the spectators had to be let go.
By the time Bai Lin returned to the Opera House, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, and it was still a bit cold outside. Charles Street was deserted, and the street lights had been turned off. Because it was a newly opened commercial street, there was not even a wild cat on the roadside.
Blanco and the Aurors all put on the invisibility cloak, which is a mass-produced police equipment woven from the hair of the invisible beast. The invisibility effect is naturally not as perfect as the original invisibility cloak of the protagonist Harry, but if
It is also difficult for people who are not very keen to find it.
Blanco did not lend one to Bai Lin, intending to see him make a fool of himself, but Bai Lin rolled his eyes and used "Shadow Dispersion" to hide in the dark, which was no worse than their invisibility cloak.
Three Aurors guarded several positions with good views. Others entered the opera house. Based on the ballistic analysis of the shooting point, they locked the shooting point to the curtain on the opposite side. The killer should have climbed to the top of the opera house through the manhole.
Decoration, you can hide behind the decorative curtains and just push the muzzle out of the gun to shoot into the VIP room opposite.
Blanco was indeed a professional. Within twenty minutes, he had found a broom box hidden in the ventilation duct. Bai Lin went over and took a look. It was indeed a broom box engraved with unknown runes.
The rifle, judging from the style, is indeed a modified version of the 98K. It should be a gun left over from World War II, and someone spent a lot of effort to transform it into a secret gun.
Blanco nodded towards Bai Lin and tried to put the broom box into the wizard's package, but failed. Even covering the box with an invisibility cloak would cause the invisibility cloak to become ineffective.
Bai Lin's guess was correct. This kind of secret equipment has a natural repelling power against magic energy. It repels not only offensive black magic, but also defensive or purely convenient white magic.
Several people are trying to figure out how to transport this weapon back to the ministry, because wizards have long been accustomed to relying on magic to move, but it is very likely that this weapon will also affect the operation of flying brooms and flying cars, so either use
Muggle transportation relies on two legs.
At this time, the Auror who was outside sent a signal and found a suspicious person.
Blanco asked an Auror to take the broom box backstage, and the others followed Blanco to ambush near the employee entrance of the opera house. Another Auror on lookout sneaked outside, trying to double-team the opponent from behind.
Bai Lin looked through the window and saw an old woman walking slowly down the street, dragging a cart filled with garbage. The chirping sound of the cart was particularly clear on the street in the early morning.
The old woman walked slowly to the staff entrance of the opera house. She rummaged through her pocket for a long time and took out a bunch of keys. After trying several times, she finally opened the small entrance door.
"Come on!" Blanco ordered, and several Aurors rushed forward.
"Stoop! (Fainted on the ground)" Several Auror spells were cast out, and suddenly several red magical energy hit the old woman. Before the old woman could speak, she was knocked to the ground and fainted.
"It must have been Transfiguration or Polyjuice Potion!" Blanco said confidently. With a wave of his hand, several Aurors gathered around and completely controlled the fainted old woman.
Blanco looked happy, waved his hand and said: "Go back to the ministry and interrogate this old woman!"
But at this moment, a gunshot came from the backstage of the opera house. Bai Lin slapped his head and said: "Oh no, I was sent away!"
