British 1986

"Um?"

When talking in the palace, Allen looked filled with indignation.

But now after going out and thinking about it carefully, Allen found that he had overlooked a question.

Now that the wealthy businessman is dead, what will happen to his "business empire"?

What to do with so many industries under his control?

This. Although it is possible that the security department secretly helped him to save so much wealth over the years, Allen just took a fancy to the media companies in his hands, such as the "Mirror".

Allen has been suffering from not having a well-known media for a long time. Now he has the opportunity to not take it away. Anyway, even if he doesn't take it, someone else will take it. Instead of giving it to others, it's better to give it to himself.

"You said, you have been emphasizing that his death was strange. Is there a possibility that there is a mole?"

Allen looked out the window, his tone unclear.

When Hughes heard this, he was shocked. He didn't even have time to think, and he rejected it very decisively: "Your Excellency, every colleague in the security department is loyal. We are absolutely loyal."

"I'm not talking about your internal people, I'm talking about this Robert Maxwell. You see, he is over seventy years old and has so many assets in his hands. Where are his children? How many children does he have?"

"he?"

Hughes squinted his eyes and recalled, "I remember nine, the youngest of whom was just twenty years old."

"That's right! There are nine children, so among his children, aren't they all the kind of honest children? Are they not the kind of prodigal children, or those who want to inherit the family property in advance?"

"!!!"

"Your Excellency, you mean that there are moles among Robert Maxwell's children? They killed him?"

"In investigating the case, we have to put forward various conjectures, and then confirm and eliminate them one by one. What is left to the end is the result."

Allen looked at Hughes with an enigmatic look.

"Then please give me your advice!"

"What about you? Just help me investigate the information on several of his children. By the way, give me information on all the properties owned by Robert Maxwell. I'll start with his properties first and see if I can find any clues. .”

"this"

It wasn't until Allen revealed the first step of his plan that Hughes realized it belatedly. Wasn't this just going for other people's assets?

How long has it been and you still think about this?

"Your Excellency, isn't this not good?"

"Are you having any difficulties here?"

Allen's eyes changed and he looked at Hughes, what does it mean to assist in handling a case?

Who helps whom?

Who among us is commanding whom?

Hughes met Allen's eyes and was instantly frightened.

"It's not difficult at all"

"If not, just do it. I'll go back to Wales first. When I go back to arrange the manpower, Wales will also start the investigation at the same time. You can send the information to me tomorrow."

"yes!"

One day later, Carmarthen, Wales.

Allen's new castle first floor meeting room.

This conference hall is extremely luxuriously decorated. A long conference table alone is nearly 20 meters long. It is surrounded by a row of high-backed chairs with classical beauty and science fiction colors. When people sit on the chairs, they can't see anything from the back. Invisible, it looks a bit like mid-century furniture.

Thanks to the special design of the room, everyone in the conference room can hear clearly even if there are no electronic devices.

At this family meeting, several elderly members of the family, including several of Allen's secretaries, and Thomas from the Welsh Assembly came.

Allen sat on the front seat with an ashtray in front of the table. He held a cigarette in one hand and the information in the other, waiting for others to finish reading.

This is the asset report sent by Hughes about the Robert Maxwell family and the incident itself. The content is as detailed as the monthly bank account balance of each of his children.

"Have you finished reading it? Let's talk about what happened this time."

Seeing Butler Hu Te put down the information at the end, Allen looked at Hu Te and asked.

"Master. So this investigation, which is led by His Highness, could have been handed over to the security department, but because of His Highness's participation, it was handed over to us?"

What Hu Te meant was that no matter how strange the cause of the rich man's death was, the security department would always find it out as long as they investigated slowly. It seemed that there was no need to involve Allen.

"What His Highness means is that there will be a party here next month, and he will come over then. He hopes to resolve all the matters here before the party starts. There is only more than a month left before Christmas. To expect the security services to investigate at such a short notice they have limited manpower."

Allen knocked on the table to gather his thoughts first.

"What I mean is that we have to pay attention this time. At the beginning of next year, I will go to Australia with His Highness. You should treat this party as a practice to prepare for the beginning of next year. In addition, this Robert Maxwell I am very interested in your industry, especially the media companies in his hands. I must win it!"

"Master! At this time, wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to do this kind of thing?"

Hu Te was relatively mature and prudent. He did not expect that at such a sensitive period, his young master would suddenly turn his gun and go after someone else's property.

"It doesn't matter. The more times like this, the more you can take grain from the fire, Hu Te. Times have changed. There are some things that you may not think are opportunities, but often the more times like this, the more opportunities you have. Some time ago , I received a letter from Wei Dewei, he told me a little interesting story, I think you can learn about it later. "

"Oh? That's what the young master said"

Allen looked at the faces of some of the people present with expressions of curiosity, and simply gave them a brief explanation.

Wei Dewei has now returned from Xiangjiang. He initially returned to his hometown in Scotland to retire.

But after a year of raising him, this old guy couldn't sit still. He had been fattened by Allen before.

Once a person like him gets used to enjoying it, if he is suddenly allowed to relax and go to a manor in the countryside to retire, he may experience it for a few days and feel it is very fresh, but after a long time, it will not be enough.

But now he has no rights and no stable source of money. What should he do?

The old guy remembered that Allen had deceived him before. According to his pro-China personality, he hooked up with a small group and continued to hang out.

No proposition is important, what matters is differentiation and a sense of presence.

He often contacted Allen and wrote some interesting things about Xiangjiang in the past. Allen remembered that one thing he mentioned seemed to have happened last year, probably in 1992, when a gangster appeared in Xiangjiang.

This group of people were also from the mainland. They wanted to work honestly when they came to Xiangjiang, but later they couldn't survive and had no choice but to take risks and start robbing.

With the first robbery of a group of "poor people", they snatched a gold watch worth millions of Hong Kong dollars from a gold shop for the first time.

These days, the more chaotic the place, the more hard currency something like a gold watch is. Whether you bring it yourself, trade it, or trade it in for money when running away, this thing can be used.

Wei Dewei didn't say the details behind it. What he mainly said was that as the group succeeded in the first robbery, he tasted the sweetness, and it became more and more uncontrollable in the future.

As for the local media in Xiangjiang, the reports on this group of people are a bit hard to say.

We are still in an era where the spirit of martial arts is very popular. You can say that he is a tough gangster, but the reports about them tend to be a bit more like heroes.

Faced with the rule of the British, there are a group of people who don't mind the trouble and like to watch the fun. They watch the police do nothing against this group of gangsters and watch helplessly as they succeed every time they come out to rob. Many people People even clapped and cheered.

In the end, the Xiangjiang police also felt that something was wrong. There were only four or five people in this group. How could they rob seven or eight gold shops at the same time in one day?

Mark the location of their robbery on the map, good guys.

The distance traveled alone was hundreds of kilometers a day, and there was no time to rest due to robbery, escape, etc.

This group of people is so dedicated, so dedicated that it’s unbelievable.

Later, every time this group of people committed a robbery, dozens of corresponding robberies occurred that day or within a day or two. The perpetrators all wore the same clothes, held the same firearms, and followed the same routine.

As a result, even the police felt that something was wrong. Someone was fishing in troubled waters in the name of this group of people!

And the police haven't caught them yet, so all the crimes will be pinned on this group of people.

After Allen finished telling the story, he looked at Hu Te and said: "It doesn't matter whether the period is sensitive or not. Your Highness has given me the task now, and I will complete it well. I just want to see if there are any problems with his children. As for the other things, That’s just what those people did, what does it have to do with us?”

As the old saying goes, the right does not expire and become invalid. Now that we have the right to "handle cases", as long as the case is handled well, in the process, people will die and things will be lost. These are all corresponding losses, which is very reasonable. Bar?

The empire is my home, and it depends on everyone to take care of it. As long as there is an opportunity, serving the country and harvesting wool can be done at the same time, as long as there is no delay in doing business.

Now, a group of "robbers" have appeared in Wales, and the people who are responsible for the crime are already in place. If we don't do anything in their name, is this still Allen?

This is not his style!

Wouldn't it just be death from a heart attack? Who wouldn't?

What are the side effects of Little Blue Pill? Is there anyone who doesn’t know?

Could the rest of the Mirror's management also die of a heart attack?

As long as everyone in the way is dead, won't the property be obtained?

How simple!

The key is that there are still people who are jacking up the tank. If Allen catches these people again, it will be even easier!

Just kill them before the security department asks them anything.

If they run away and are not caught, then their lives are considered good. Anyway, Allen has already laid out the crime for them in advance. Want to prove it yourself?

Dream on!

In other words, from now on, he has entered a period of "protection period". During this period, all bad things that happen can be blamed on that group of people.

"Okay, Xiao Shitou will send someone to handle this matter as quickly as possible. Don't give them too much time. I only want the company. As for people, we have no shortage of people!"

With Allen's final decision, the matter was "discussed".

"No matter what the young master says, we still have to investigate this case and find the murderer, right?"

Hu Te asked about the case with a serious face. Allen had his own plan. Of course he would not object. He was only responsible for checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. Even if the plan failed in the end, it was because of the plan. Now since Once the plan is set, he won't object.

"Check, now it's up to you to give me some advice. Where should we check and how should we check!"

Allen has never been a police officer. He only knows how to manage the police. But if he is asked to solve crimes, I'm sorry. Mr. Allen doesn't know how!

But he has his subordinates. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know how. As long as the others know how, it will be fine. With so many people working together, they can always come up with something.

"Boss! I want to express my opinion."

As soon as Allen finished speaking, a young man wearing glasses sitting at the back took the initiative to raise his hand, looking excited and ready to speak.

He is one of Allen's personal secretaries. He used to specialize in psychological analysis, but since he has been following Allen for so many years, he has basically been of no use. He has always suffered from the lack of opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Now it seems that there is finally something for him to use. It's hard to express the excitement.

"Oh? Jonathan? Tell me."

Allen didn't expect that this guy would be the first to speak. He nodded and held his chin with one hand, ready to hear what the secretary had to say.

"Boss, from a psychological point of view, I just read the information that they took action the day before yesterday, or a day earlier, and at that time, you happened to be on a business trip in the United States."

"People like them must be organized. Let me first make an assumption. There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year. They can choose any day to do it, but they chose those days when you were not around. What did this prove during those days?"

"oh?"

Allen blinked. He listened to Jonathan's analysis without a clue. It was indeed interesting, but he was not so arrogant that an organization like this would even take action to worry about his situation. Would this be possible? Is it a coincidence?

"Boss, in theory, if a serious killer kills someone, they can escape within a short time after killing the person. They must have made a complete escape plan before killing the person."

"But this information says that all the recent actions of the dead rich man were normal. His death this time looks like an accident, or a temporary act, so they chose this time period to do it. It left me with a lot of information that I could guess.”

"etc!"

Allen stretched out his hand to interrupt Jonathan's speculation and retorted: "The identity of the person who can come into contact with this Robert Maxwell, or the person who can call him out, must not be simple. In other words, this group or the murderer Their identity is not simple, in this case. If they act carefully, we won't be able to find out at all, unless they are deliberately letting us find out, as I guessed, and they are here to demonstrate against us."

"That's right! Boss, your idea is very correct. The strange thing about this is that after they killed the person, he was found lying on the boat. The meaning is very obvious, but they wanted to demonstrate, but they also specifically chose you. When they are not at home, then... I want to say, does this prove that they are afraid of something? "
