Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Crime Scene Investigation_1"You have to believe me, I know what Guan Lili is like, she doesn’t truly care about whether you live or die; this is all a task assigned to her by the Review Meeting and the company. After they have used you, they will kick you to the curb."

Song Lan had imagined many ways their conversation could go, but he never thought that Engle would be so earnest in seeking his trust, and instead of mentioning the Southeast Bank robbery that happened this afternoon, he said nothing at all.

He had even braced himself for Engle to use that captured photo as leverage.

"Just give me a chance, and I can help you see the true colors of Guan Lili and the company... Of course, if you don’t like the role of a mentor, I’m open to being partners or best friends; I also have a professional planning team on my side."

The atmosphere of the conversation wasn’t intense; Engle’s attitude had become almost obsequious. For a former national-level rescuer like Song Lan, the situation was quite comical. He could tell that Engle really needed this opportunity to turn things around.

But this wasn’t what Song Lan wanted to hear.

Right now, they were walking side by side in the most deserted part of the neighborhood. Perhaps because of the bank robbery today, there were even fewer pedestrians on the streets. In the nearly ten minutes they’d been walking, they hadn’t seen a soul.

Song Lan was conflicted.

He had been fully prepared to send Mr. Engle to

Engle analyzed it in a quite professional manner, but his exaggerated tone made Song Lan suspect that this might just be a farce he was directing himself.

Logically speaking, Lu Xiang had also brought people to investigate the parking lot, and if there really had been such obvious bloodstains left behind, they should not have missed them.

"They stayed here for a long time, cleaned up all the bloodstains on this floor, but... the car they drove in is gone."

This might be what set the 2167 bank robbery apart.

In this era, robbers often no longer needed to use large sacks to carry out and transport money. They could simply transfer the 21.7 million watts through network channels, which allowed them, during their subsequent escape, not to arouse suspicion by carrying sacks or suitcases.

Bent over, Engle walked towards the staff room not far away, following the trail of bloodstains that Song Lan couldn’t see.

Considering that the robbers might still be at the scene and had not left, the two of them instinctively held their breaths. They tiptoed towards the closed iron door of the staff room, one on each side, and across from Song Lan, Engle really began signaling hand gestures as if they were partners.

As the countdown ended, Engle took the lead and kicked open the door of the staff room.

...

"Eh?"

The question left an awkward atmosphere in the room. Facing the empty space, Engle scratched the back of his own head and mumbled to himself, "That’s strange."

"What’s wrong?"

"The trail of blood ends here."

Engle walked a full circle around the room, finally stopping next to a washbasin. He stared at the empty basin, "It’s this place."

With that, he turned on the water tap to confirm it was working properly.

"How did they vanish into thin air from this floor?"

Full of doubts, he moved his cybernetic eye closer to the drain of the basin.

The next moment, Song Lan, who was investigating the corner, was startled by Engle’s sudden shout; when he turned around, the national-level rescuer looked like he had gotten the fright of his life, carelessly falling to the ground, his head knocking against a cleaning robot and rolling several times on the floor. He only managed to get up shakily after tumbling out of the rest room.

He murmured incessantly, "No, no, it’s not Guan Lili, you need to leave, don’t stay here!"

After leaving those words, Engle could no longer care about Song Lan, who was still inside the room, and scrambled towards the way they came from.
