The time came to four o'clock in the morning unknowingly.
Linn and Reiner were so cold on the rooftop that they were a little numb.
"You can imagine how the Hinde family formed ice sculptures a month and a half ago under even colder conditions." Reiner warmed his ears with his hands from time to time.
"So the Marquis of Aldrich is really cruel, and he changed -" Linn was monitoring the situation at the other door at the other end.
"Come out!" Suddenly, Reiner shouted softly.
Linn hurried over and looked down, and saw a truck parked in front of the hotel's side door, and a group of security personnel were carrying some long black bags into the truck in an orderly manner.
Reiner swallowed: "Is that... a person..."
"Should." Linn said.
There are more than a dozen long black bags that can only hold people.
Reiner breathed out softly: "There must be more than a dozen of them. Did Ralph take care of all the security on the first floor..."
"Probably, they are really ruthless." Lin En sighed, "Be prepared, let's follow them."
"Yeah." Reiner prepared the dim six-pointed astrolabe again.
Lin En is quite envious of this ability.
It is very practical and has no time or frequency limit.
You don't need to ask to know that just to exchange for such a thing, Reiner spent a lot of money.
After they stood on the astrolabe, the security guards below had loaded more than a dozen corpses into the car, started the car and drove away in the middle of the night.
The car turned on its headlights, making it very conspicuous in the middle of the night.
For safety reasons, Reiner simply raised the height of the astrolabe to nearly a hundred meters to ensure that no one would notice it.
"Your ability has no limit on height or speed?" Linn was impressed by Reiner's ability.
"The highest is one hundred meters, the fastest is one hundred meters per second." Reiner smiled, "If there were really no limit, I would explore the moon."
Lin En raised his head and glanced at the moon: "That can't be passed easily."
While chatting, time passed.
At four or five o'clock in the morning, even in the bustling Imperial Capital, there were very few vehicles on the road. The truck drove smoothly for half an hour and arrived at the manufacturing area in the northern part of the Imperial Capital.
There is always the rumbling roar of machines here, proving that two shifts of workers are keeping the machines producing non-stop.
The truck stopped in front of a certain smelting plant. It must have said hello in advance. There were two people in worker uniforms at the entrance of the smelting plant who looked like they had been waiting for a long time.
Reiner lowered the height of the astrolabe, and Linn was able to see their specific situation.
Directly below the two of them, workers and the security driver worked together to lift a dozen black bags in the cargo compartment onto a cart, and then sneakily pushed the cart into the factory.
"Do you still need to get closer?" Reiner asked.
"No need..." Linn's voice was a little dry.
Do you still need to look closer?
What else could be done with the body being moved to the smelter?
It has to be said that this is indeed a good way to destroy corpses and eliminate traces. It is guaranteed that no clues will be found with the current detection level.
What makes Linn and Reiner unable to calm down for a long time is that they cannot imagine how many innocent people have been wiped out from the world by Aldrich and his gang to this day?
Ten?
Thirty?
Fifty?
One hundred?
"Huh..." Reiner took deep breaths frequently, "If we had no background, we would probably end up like this if we were caught by them."
"Well..." Linn didn't say much.
"Then let's go back." Reiner suggested.
The link of 'clearing and transporting the corpses' has been figured out, so there is little point in staying here.
They can't always prevent the other party from destroying the body. Doing so will only expose themselves early and disrupt the entire plan.
It would be much faster to go back.
The moving speed of the hexagram was several times faster than that of a truck. In addition, there were no restrictions in the air. It traveled directly in a straight line and returned to the room assigned to them at the Old Nanyue Hotel before five o'clock in the morning.
Back in the room, the first thing Linn checked was the door lock.
The door lock was still locked in the same state as before he left, which meant that no one from outside had come in, and no third person knew about their outing.
"They are quite calm." Lin En was surprised that the door lock was not broken.
They were able to go out for a full hour and a half.
"I guess something big is brewing." Reiner checked the time again, "There are about fifteen hours until the mission starts. Let's rest and recharge our batteries."
"Alternate rest." Linn sat on the sofa and let Reiner rest first.
"Okay, then call me when you are sleepy." Reiner did not refuse, and after washing, he went to sleep peacefully.
The room was quiet, and Lin closed her eyes in deep thought.
This mission is by no means simple, and it cannot be just a matter of violently eradicating Aldrich and his gang.
To eradicate them violently, any awakened person can do it, but for ordinary people, it is extremely difficult and not universal.
From the perspective of their extraordinary beings, the requirements of the mission will undoubtedly be more demanding.
Either there is a more difficult and powerful enemy behind Marquis Aldrich, or the mission cannot be completed simply by ending their lives.
What kind of mission will it be?
Lin En, who is quite motivated, keeps looking forward to it.
At seven o'clock, Reiner and Linn took a break.
After both of them rested for two hours, at nine o'clock in the morning, the security guard outside knocked on the door, reminding them that it was time to get up.
"Quite on time." Lin En stepped forward to unlock the door lock, then opened the door and greeted the security guards, saying that he would go out after washing up.
"Didn't these people figure out how to deal with us all night?" Reiner stretched his body and chuckled.
Although they told the security in the early morning that they would be woken up at nine o'clock to investigate the case, they both tacitly believed that the night would not be so peaceful.
On the contrary, the more nothing happened, the more it felt like the calm before the storm, forcing them to cheer up.
"Whatever, just go out and take a look and you'll find out." Lin En washed up and went out in a grand manner. Led by the security guards, Liner and Reiner came to the banquet hall again.
Marquis Aldrich, his son Tubb, butler Phil, hotel owner Ralph, and manager Bowen were all sitting there.
Obviously, they knew about Linn. Reiner got up at nine o'clock and was waiting to have a late breakfast with them.
This couldn't be better.
Eat together neatly during the day, and say goodbye to the world neatly at night.
"Actually, just eat whatever you want. We're not too embarrassed to have such a big fight." Reiner said this, but he sat down naturally.
"To be honest, if you were just a second-level peace officer, of course we wouldn't entertain you like this. But you represent the Fernando family, and we need to show you the minimum respect and etiquette." Marquis Aldrich spoke.
"Thank you." Reiner stood up and saluted.
"You two, after dinner, where are you going to start checking?" Awakened Tabor asked.
Reiner glanced at the delicious meal, worried that it would be poisoned, and did not rush to enjoy it: "Before we came, the Public Security Bureau had been investigating for so long without any results, which had to make us doubt their route from the beginning.
That’s wrong.”
"so……"
"So, we plan to discard the files from the Public Security Bureau and start the investigation from scratch." Reiner said.
Start all over again?
Everyone on Hou Aldrich's side was stunned.
Young people are really energetic!
They are actually willing to spend a lot of energy re-sorting things that the old fritters can't avoid...
I really don’t know whether to praise professionalism or naivety...
"Then...what do we need to do?"
"Try to call as many people as possible on the day of the crime, and we will simulate the incident again. Through simulation, we will continue to find omissions and improve them, and then slowly find out the clues that were ignored at the beginning and identify the suspect." Reiner found out.
Make up ideas.
"Hmm..." Hotel owner Ralph touched his chin, "It's quite difficult to realize. First, it's been too long, so it's very unlikely to get the person back and recreate the story. Second, it's such a big fuss.
The movement will definitely affect the hotel's business today."
"I saw the list when I came to investigate yesterday morning. Quite a few of the people who were present at the time of the crime are still on duty, right? In addition, such a big incident happened that night, which must have left an indelible mark on everyone's heart.
It’s not easy to repeat the impression, but it’s not as difficult as imagined.” Lin En said.
Reiner answered and shamelessly steered the situation towards the direction they wanted to see: "And wasn't the hotel half-closed for the day yesterday to entertain Marquis Aldrich? It shouldn't be a big problem if we keep it up today, right? Just treat it as a matter of course.
For the sake of the Fernando family, my family owes you a favor."
