"Raymond's blood was stepped on, this footprint just now you ingested the camera, the blood is very ambiguous, that is in the blood just flowing out when stepped on, the scene although the footprint is very messy, but only this footprint near Raymond. Raymond is an experienced commissioner, even if the avoidance of danger will not lose information. So it was this person who stole the information from Raymond's side within minutes of the collapse." Nono said, "And judging from the footprints this is a human with very wishy-washy feet. A pure human is bound to be nervous in a place like this, so he had to choose the nearest exit to escape. c2 exit, just to your right. We should be able to find more information there."

"Understood."

"Now you are imitating the man's action by running to exit c2, but don't use your top speed, he doesn't run as fast as you do," Nono said.

Chu Zhang began to run at a medium speed, he had completely entered the situation, while running while naturally looking left and right, which is the nervousness of a small thief who has stolen something.

The school's "ss" level mission, but only because a small thief stole the information?

He braked hard in front of the c2 exit, outside the parking lot, the camera illuminated two deep black ruts. You can imagine how panicked that car was when it left, a car with so much horsepower that its tires were soft from the heat, and the person who stole the information was so nervous that he stepped on the gas so deeply that he left such ruts.

"You boys all know cars, I don't need to help you with the rest." Nono giggled in the earpiece, "Lord President worked hard, I took your girl into the mountains to play."

Chu Zhang froze and nodded slightly, "Thank you."

"Oh, there is another feeling, but not too reliable, FYI." Nono said, "There was a third person present, and this person was standing right where you are now and hasn't moved. He kept seeing the little thief steal the information from Raymond's death, and the little thief saw him. The little thief had blood on his feet, and the footprints made a bend to here, indicating that he saw something here that surprised him, and that would have been a person."

"What kind of person?"

"I don't know, this person left very few traces, so I'd say it's not very reliable. I just synthesized all the images you passed over just now and felt that there was an ambiguous shadow watching everything from the sidelines at that time."

Chu Zhang was silent for a moment, "Understood."

"Come on," Chu Zhang approached Lu Mingfei, "it's almost time, I think we can solve the problem tonight."

"That's good, that's good!" Lu Mingfei nodded his head.

"There's still some time, don't you have to meet with your cousin and your aunt and uncle tonight? Why don't you rush back first, I still have something to do, I won't see you off for now."

Lu Mingfei said, "I can't even get a car in this place, but I can't say it, so I just keep nodding, "I'll meet up with you tonight."

"After the mission is over then rendezvous, I will arrange a car to pick you up, we are separated in two places to carry out the task, I have some experience than you, I am temporarily responsible for the details of the operation on your behalf, can you? Commissioner."

"Yes, yes! Those who can do more!" Lu Mingfei patted his chest, "You do the job, I am at ease!"

The central control room at the headquarters of Cassel Academy. At midnight, when it is easiest to get sleepy, Guderian was lying on the table and whirring, while Manstein and Schneider, their eyes red, went through the thick stack of directories, checking off the excluded names one by one.

Manstein craned his head to look at his dead-sleeping old friend, frowned, and rolled a ball of paper towels to shove under his wide open mouth before his saliva came over and wet the directory.

"Found it," Schneider whispered, pushing the directory across the table to Manstein.

"The ruts the Chu found were left by a large displacement SUV with 22-inch oversized wheels and 285mm wide Pristine tires," Schneider said, "Only modified Hummers or Escalades use those kinds of tires, and that's the most suspicious one in the owner's list. "

Manstein scanned the list, "I know that name."

The Escalade underlined by Schneider belonged to "Millennium Labor Export Company", the company's registered address was "Rundle Building".

"Yes, these people are hunters," Schneider said. Schneider said, "The group called itself 'three young', the leader of the group is called Tang Wei."

"Some inexplicable thing got involved in this," Manstein said, "and it's annoying."

At the Kassel Academy, you don't call yourself a "hunter" just because you carry a gun to the mountains and shoot pheasants. The term "hunter" refers to a certain group of people. They are a loose group of people who are hired to help solve problems. The group was a complex mix of outlaws, artists, pioneering literary figures, and gang members. The task they accept is certainly not to help the neighbor's grandmother bring down the kitten that jumped up the tree, but something between legal and illegal. This means they are not usually hired to kill and set fire to people, but they steal, dig graves and loot artifacts. A good portion of these tasks is associated with the Dragons, such as stealing alchemical implements from tombs.

The real reason for their unanimous commitment to this dangerous and cheap profession from all over the world is the "bloodline call", most of them are part dragon blood.

The Academy has been aware of the existence of this mixed-race organization since twenty years ago but has not been able to understand it thoroughly. The Academy also does not want to integrate these stragglers, because usually, their blood purity is not high. But still keep an eye on them, the executive part of the scattered members will register each hunter found. There are already thousands of them recorded in the hunter files.
