Victoria looked down at him, "What?"
"When we played against the 'Assassin' last night, no foreign aid showed up." Avinash's eyes were half-opened. "I guess your team was probably busy with Rishi-related matters at that time. It's a shame that they didn't show up." Excusable...but why didn't Ahgas send someone?"
"that is because--"
"On the night when the assassin delivered the photo album to us," Avinash cut off Victoria's words harshly, but his voice quickly softened, "If I remember correctly, after Chiba started chasing, There were at least three ahgas mercury needles who immediately chased me from elsewhere - you are one of them, right?"
"That's right," Victoria replied, "ahgas has sent twelve mercury needles with experience in extremely dangerous combat to arrive here, that's us."
"In other words, your team is the tentative upper limit set by ahgas in the 'murder photography' case. No matter how much noise the assassin makes in Tan Yi in the future, as long as the target of his attack is still a very small number of civilians in habitable areas. Without amplification, as long as it still shows extremely low infectivity and harm, then ahgas should not invest more manpower in this case... Can I understand this?"
"Can."
"That's good." Avinash nodded, "It seems that the matter is not that difficult to explain. After all, we are just unwilling to bear the risk of facing the 'assassin' directly - at this point, I don't see how we can what is the difference."
"Don't change your mind," Victoria immediately refuted, "If the assassin went for Schmidt last night, I would never accuse you, but you could have told Schmidt in advance last night. ——”
"I'd like to reiterate that it was Schmidt's own decision to take the bus to Core City last night." Avinash said softly, "I can indeed inform him of the risks of doing so in advance, but why should I do this? I My duty is to find out the identity of the assassin as soon as possible and put an end to its rampant behavior in Tan Yi. Since Schmidt can provide me with such an opportunity, why don't I accept it?
"The old police inspector volunteered, and he did use his life to clear some obstacles for us to track down the assassin. Next, I will consider applying for some posthumous honors for him. After all, his performance last night was quite brave... ...As for you being so indignant that you go out of your way to accuse me of my behavior, to be honest, I don’t understand it.”
Avinash picked up the storage device containing the assassin's image and slid it along the smooth table in front of Victoria.
"Please submit this video to the ahgas headquarters as soon as possible. Even if the assassin imitated some chelate, I believe the information in the picture must be of value. I am waiting for your analysis results."
Avinash looked at the subordinates beside him, "Do you have any questions?"
The subordinates shook their heads.
"That's it for today's meeting." Avinash stood up and looked at Victoria, "We have been busy all night, we have to rest."
At this point, he laughed and said, "Let me see what is the difference between Ahgas' mercury needle and ours. Viscount Rich's safety tonight depends on you."
"Avinash."
Victoria, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly called him, and Avinash, who had already walked to the table, stopped and said, "What?"
"Do you always use other people's lives as tools so easily?"
"It depends."
"Then please be more careful," Victoria turned her face sideways, her eyes that were always smiling were staring at him coldly at this moment, "Maybe at some point, the same fate will befall you. .”
"Really," Avinash said with a smile, "On the contrary, I think people like you who have too much sympathy are more likely to die, especially in mercury needles. You should take care of yourself."
Seeing that Victoria was about to speak the next sentence, Avinash immediately turned around and walked out of the conference room door. His subordinates slammed the door hard, as if this could make up for the panic of being questioned just now.
The light and fresh wind in the corridor finally made Avinash breathe a sigh of relief, but then he saw Pauler standing at the end of the corridor and watching, as if he wanted to come over and talk.
This suddenly made Avinash a little bored, and he quickly turned away and walked toward the exit. However, Pauler still came forward without any sense, and said that he had important news to synchronize with Avinash.
"Let's just say it." Avinash said as he walked. He didn't want to stay at the police station for another second.
Pauler was a little surprised, but he still followed forward and lowered his voice, "Did the old police inspector invite a priest from the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Candle last night?"
"...where did you get the news?"
"This morning, a nun found an old priest in the confessional of Our Lady of the Candle Cathedral. He was tied up tightly... After asking, I found out that he was sent by the church to Tan Yi North Station last night to listen. The old police inspector repented——"
Avinash frowned, "Is this old priest still alive?"
"Alive." Paule nodded repeatedly, "No valuables were lost in the church, and the old priest was not injured. It's just that his coat was taken off, and he stayed in the confessional all night, and his joints were a bit unbearable-"
Hearing this, Avinash felt a little numb. He almost immediately realized that the assassin's behavior last night was his plan B - if Schmidt chose to see the priest last night, then there was a high probability that it would be directly on the train. Meeting Schmidt in the confessional.
Whether it was "wanting to find a priest to confess" or "cancel the meeting", these were all decisions made by Schmidt on the spur of the moment. The fact that the assassin was able to make adjustments at every opportunity showed that his control over the whole matter was far greater than that of the assassin. own imagination.
"Did the old priest see what the person who held him hostage last night looked like?" Avinash asked.
"No, it was too dark, and the other party immediately put a hood on him, so I couldn't see anything clearly... I remember that you encountered an assassin at Tan Yibei Station last night, I guess-"
Avinash snorted, "Schmidt didn't see the priest last night."
"ah?"
"Yes, I haven't met, so I'm not sure whether this matter has anything to do with the case. You can just tell Victoria about this later, and there's no need to look for me again."
After leaving these words behind, Avinash left without looking back, leaving Paul at a loss where he was.
…
After exiting the police station, several of Avinash's subordinates breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, your reaction just now was really exciting, I mean that moment in the conference room."
"Yes, I was told by that bitch that I was in a daze. I really wanted to grab her and beat her up——"
Avinash glanced at the people nearby and said, "I have said many times that you must learn to control your emotions."
"...That's too difficult! Aren't you angry when she said those bastard words just now?"
"What's the use of being angry?" Avinash's face was still as calm as ever, "I have told you a long time ago that anger is the most useless emotion in the world. It will only destroy our peace. Never Allow yourself to be seized by such base impulses.”
The remaining people half sighed, half admired, "I understand."
