'He' is too natural and deliberate … 'He' is very familiar with this place, to the point that he doesn't even need to investigate before he goes straight to the vault and shows his face very 'naturally', as if he can't see the huge surveillance camera! "
Inside the vault, the culprit easily found what he was looking for. The painting must have been covered by something else, but from the moment the culprit entered the vault, tore off the cover, and appeared in front of the camera with the painting, it only took a few seconds! "
"Unless the vault is very small, so small that it only has one or two items, but that's obviously impossible. No one would build a vault just for one or two items. If it was really built for one or two items, how precious would those items be? Would the security guard be so empty that it would be like no one was guarding it? "
"And …"
"The key!"
Kieran took a deep breath and pointed at the key in "his" hand in the paused video.
"Where would the key to the vault normally be placed?"
Kieran asked as he looked at Oaker who was nodding repeatedly.
"Don't be as careful as I thought.
No matter who it was, the vault key would be placed in the safest place. The biggest possibility would be beside himself or the smallest possibility would be given to someone he trusted the most or some other place. "
Oaker replied after praising Kieran.
"That's right but now, the key is in" his "hand!"
Kieran nodded, his tone had an unknown meaning.
"You are saying?"
Oaker sharply caught Kieran's meaning.
Oaker didn't forget Ditko's parting words from before.
"It's simple, we just need to go check it out!"
Kieran said with a smile.
...
Ai Little's mansion.
Standing at the entrance of Dublin Street with its back facing the slums, the highest point in the field of view with a white roof was the mansion.
Of course, it was just a corner of the mansion.
Kieran who was wearing a black mantle and had a faint salted fish smell was following Oaker along the straight road.
Only then did he truly see the mansion.
According to the slope of the road, Kieran could tell that this place was originally halfway up a mountain, and the roof he saw at the end of the street should be the peak of the mountain.
"The entire mountain is Ai Little's residence?"
Kieran asked in surprise.
"To be more precise, the Ai Little family chose this mountain as the location for their mansion. Then, the entire wealthy district and business district appeared. Their original purpose of existence was to serve the Ai Little family. Some legends even say that Flame City was built because of the Ai Little family. I used to think that it was just a legend, but … after seeing you guys, I believe that this legend is believable."
The inspector said slowly.
The inspector had long understood the terror of the privileged class.
However, the Inner Plane was undoubtedly even more terrifying.
What would happen when the two were combined?
Oaker didn't even dare to imagine it.
A city serving a family might seem preposterous, but it might not necessarily be the most unrealistic.
At the end of the road was a tall mansion, a group of 10 bodyguards were patrolling back and forth in front of the gate. However, that was just on the surface. Kieran could feel that there was more than one gaze following them from the moment they appeared at the foot of the mountain.
Oaker quickly walked up to the gate, Kieran didn't stop and followed behind.
"Inspector Oaker?"
The bodyguards in front of the gate recognized Oaker but they were curious about his appearance.
They didn't think Oaker had the rights to interact with their employer. Even though the theft happened, Oaker was just going through the motions.
In fact, even Oaker's superior didn't have the rights to meet his employer.
Therefore, after the shock, vigilance followed.
The leader of the bodyguards couldn't help but size up Kieran who had his face covered with a hood.
The leader obviously felt that Kieran was much more dangerous than the inspector.
"Hey guys, don't be nervous … I'm here to claim my bounty!"
Oaker said.
He then pulled off Kieran's hood.
When Kieran's face was revealed, the bodyguards around were stunned, their faces were filled with astonishment.
"Guys, I think we should go in and talk about our bounty while we're at it! If you guys can't make the decision on your own, I think I can meet Mr. Little Ai. "
Oaker said with a smile.
The leader of the bodyguards picked up the walkie-talkie, turned around and spoke softly. After a while, a series of noises came from the bronze gate.
It wasn't fully opened, just a small door at the side.
"Please!"
The leader of the bodyguards said.
Oaker didn't mind and followed the leader of the bodyguards.
Kieran followed quietly and sized up the surroundings.
Wanting to meet the millionaire Mr. Little Ai wasn't an easy task, especially after Kieran had some guesses, he understood that Mr. Little Ai had an identity that far surpassed common people's imagination.
So, he thought of this little trick.
Although it looked simple, it was undoubtedly useful.
At least they managed to enter the mansion.
Following the leader of the bodyguards, Kieran and Oaker walked for around 20 meters before they arrived at a transport vehicle that could fit three people.
The leader of the bodyguards sat in the driver's seat while Kieran and Oaker sat at the back.
The transport vehicle started up steadily and drove along the road behind the gate. The scenery on both sides kept moving backward.
A lush green lawn and a dense forest further away.
A flowerbed with flowers competing with each other, a faint aroma lingered in the air.
Birds chirped and insects chirped ceaselessly.
After the car turned a corner, the view in front of them suddenly became clear, and the scenery also changed.
A lake!
A big lake with clear ripples, the banks of the lake were continuous and a stone bridge was built on top of the lake.
In front of the stone bridge was a man in ragged clothes, carrying a long and narrow blade on his back, standing there like a statue. When the man saw the transport vehicle, he moved his feet and opened up a path for it.
His steps were stiff like a robot.
Kieran's eyes were locked on the man.
Or more precisely, the blade on the man's back.
Although all he saw was the hilt and the scabbard, Kieran's nose already picked up a bloody stench. His eyes felt like blood was bursting out and his ears were filled with the wails and cries of hundreds of souls of the dead.
That was … a murderous blade!
Kieran commented in his heart in shock.
He brushed past her as he sat in the car.
Fuuu!
The transport vehicle drove up the stone bridge and a slight breeze blew.
The wind blew.
Mist filled the lake surface.
The clear ripples on the surface of the lake turned gray.
Fuaaa!
