fog city detective

Reina said: "I work in a headhunting company."

After these few words, Ouyang Lan became a little at a loss from the original excitement, and greeted repeatedly: "Sit inside, sit inside. Lena, talk to the hotel and arrange dinner."

"Got it." There was a bit of coquettishness in the response, and it seemed that they got along well.

……

After the host and guest sat down, Lena also contacted the hotel to sit down.After leaving home, Ouyang Lan was invited by her university classmates to leave the UK to work in a company in Germany. She met her current husband within a year of working.Husband and wife passed away a year ago, leaving behind the two-year-old Lena, who was unable to take care of her mother's life and emotions. He hired Ouyang Lan to accompany his daughter every holiday. After getting married, Ouyang Lan finally settled down in Berlin.

Ouyang Lan's current husband is the major shareholder of the three group companies, and he has opened a headhunting company. Leina has been working in the headhunting company after graduating from university.The family's material living standard is very good, and her husband respects Ouyang Lan very much. He thinks that Ouyang Lan has given him the warmest harbor in the world. Fifteen years ago, they had a common child, a boy. Even so, Ouyang Lan was always the same to Leina, and Lena also regarded Ouyang Lan as her biological mother.

Ouyang Lan told Liang Xi that her husband had known Liang Xi for a long time and had looked for Liang Xi.But because Liang Xi had a criminal file in his childhood, and the information was sealed up, he has never been found.This time, accompanied by her husband, she watched the live broadcast of the Internet celebrity festival, and her husband encouraged her to go to London to find Liang Xi.He also said that if Liang Xi wanted to, he could live with them in Berlin. Her husband needed help with a lot of business.

Liang Xi replied: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but what I want to say to you today is the opposite, that is, don't know me."

"Ah?" Ouyang Lan and Leina were puzzled.

Liang Xi said: "I have been involved in many troubles. Having more family members is not a good thing for me, and it is also a threat to you."

Ouyang Lan worriedly asked: "Who? British and black? Why don't you go to Germany with us? George knows many friends in Germany, and there are many staff members of the judicial department."

Liang Xi didn't know what to say, looked at Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen said: "Liang Xi's matter is a bit troublesome, but don't worry, he does things properly, he is safe."

Liang Xi looked at Liu Zhen: I asked you to come and cheer, how did you lose the chain?

Ouyang Lan asked: "What are you doing now?"

Liang Xi said, "Open a detective agency."

Ouyang Lan asked: "Because of the detective agency business?"

How to answer this?Liang Xi said: "Mainly, the main reason is that I lied to my girlfriend's parents, and suddenly multiple mothers came out, and she would say that I lied to her. She can't bear others to lie to her..."

Liu Zhen couldn't stand it: "Don't talk nonsense on any occasion, no big or small. Auntie, Liang Xi has helped us solve many cases, but the power behind the case is huge, and the serving police officers in London are also involved. But Liang Xi, I I don't understand, does this have anything to do with your relationship with your aunt?"

Liang Xi said: "Hehe... Well, maybe it's because I'm worried about changes. For example, this time I participated in the Internet celebrity festival, it was a very sudden thing. This thing is something I want to do, something I choose. If more If I have a relationship, it may not be a question of whether I want to do it or not, and my behavior will be strongly disturbed, leading to hesitation in doing things. Not everyone is Karin." Karin didn't say anything else, she just Say: I believe in you.

Ouyang Lan asked: "Who is Karin?"

Reina said at the same time: "A very beautiful girl, a doctor from Maria Hospital."

Liang Xi was speechless: "That's not the point. The point is that sometimes I need to do some things regularly, and these things are things that my elders don't want me to do."

Ouyang Lan hurriedly said: "I won't ask you to do anything, you don't have to do anything if you don't want to do it,"

Liang Xi said: "The problem is that you may prevent me from doing anything. Because I know very well our traditional thinking that a family is a blessing if they are together safely. But this is not possible, because there are some things I have to do, such as revenge for my adoptive father. Avenging my adoptive father would involve many dangerous people and teams. I think it is best for us to keep the status quo. Actually, I checked your information through the blood moon, and the other party told me that you are doing well and have two children. If I want your specific information, I’ll be happy if I say you’re doing well.”

Liang Xi said: "I can't stop until I finish things well. To do these things, I prepared for the worst."

Liu Zhen translated: "If you can fully support him, he can communicate with you. If you want to preach and persuade him, then don't contact him for the time being."

Liang Xi looked at Liu Zhen, and Liu Zhen said innocently, "That's what you mean."

Ouyang Lan nodded: "I see. From your point of view, getting to know me is a burden. I know you must have had a hard time these years. Don't blame me for being selfish back then. I really can't bear it..."

Seeing the emotion appearing, Liu Zhen immediately cut in: "Leina, did you order dinner?"

"Huh?" Is it appropriate for you to ask this question at this time?

Liang Xi looked at Liu Zhen: "You are too deliberate."

Ouyang Lan was a little overwhelmed, Lena said: "Liang Xi, my mother is a very good person, I believe you just don't dare to integrate into a new environment. I don't ask you anything now, just make a phone call occasionally, Christmas everyone Let's have dinner together. After all, you are the person my mother would mention every Christmas, and the absence of you at the dinner table is her biggest regret."

Liang Xi said: "Okay, I agree." It's just that they have dinner together every year, it doesn't interfere with their own lives, and there is no reason to refuse.

Up to this moment, Ouyang Lan was still quite excited, she only had Liang Xi in her eyes, she wished she could touch Liang Xi's face, and then have a good chat with Liang Xi about the past 20 years.But Liang Xi was particularly resistant to excitement.The main reason is that Liang Xi does not lack love, John and Mary treat him as their own, and he can rationally understand the reason why his mother left, and there is no dependence or hatred for his mother.There is no such thing as why you left me.

The hotel brought food, Ouyang Lan regretted that she didn't prepare it herself, she hoped to cook a meal for Liang Xi herself.She knew that Liang Xi must have suffered a lot after she left, and even had criminal files sealed up. She hoped to compensate Liang Xi.She even wanted to know how Liang Xi spent the time, who he spent with, and how was it going?To Liang Xi, she had countless questions to ask, and countless words to say.

Chapter 4 and Seven: The Illegal Truth

The hotel delivered the food, and when the waiter brought the food to the table, Lei Na took the opportunity to remind Ouyang Lan.During dinner, Ouyang Lan changed her focus from Liang Xi's body, which eased the awkward atmosphere a lot.Liang Xi knew Reina because of Chris, so he naturally mentioned Chris at the dinner table.

Reina and Chris are friends from work.Lei Na's father, that is, Ouyang Lan's current husband owns a small but high-end headhunting company.After entering the company, Reina went through the assessment with the interns.The content of the assessment is to find unique and talented people on the street, in bars, restaurants and other places.

After the interns select the target, the headhunting company will contact the target to understand their details, so as to judge the interns' vision. .

Reina gave an example, assuming that you are the fund business manager of the Clement Group, the amount of business you can complete every month is very large, but this is not enough to show that you are a very capable person.Headhunting companies are looking for people, not platforms. How much business will the manager maintain when he joins a new start-up company?Some movies are successful because of the director, some movies are successful because of the acting skills of the leading actors, and some movies are successful because of the ability of the screenwriter.Lena's headhunting company requires employees to strip away external factors and accurately define a person's value and ability.

Chris is a talented guy Reyna finds at the restaurant, but this choice puts her at the bottom of the grade.After contacting Chris, the company learned that Chris is a French road examiner, and his complaint rate is far ahead of his peers. He does not have a college diploma or a university degree. The only thing worthy of praise is Chris’s background: the prince of Denmark.

Reina was not convinced, and contacted Chris a few more times, but she really didn't find anything special about Chris.After going back and forth, the two also became friends, but they were very ordinary friends.Reina knew Chris' London, England from social software, and she contacted Chris after she settled down in London, England. The two met Liang Xi and Karin when they had dinner together.

Liang Xi asked curiously, "An Ding?"

Leina nodded and handed a business card to Liang Xi.On the business card is the manager of the British branch of Fable Company, and there is also an office address and Reina's mobile phone on the business card.

Ouyang Lan took the opportunity and said: "You siblings can meet often in the future, and you must help each other."

The two nodded together, no matter if it was sincere or perfunctory, there was no need to refute Ouyang Lan's words.Lei Na knew that Ouyang Lan was more concerned about Liang Xi's situation over the years, so she began to ask.Liang Xi's explanation: Adopted by a stubborn old man, life is ordinary. Two years ago, his adoptive father died and he inherited his private detective agency.

Ouyang Lan asked concerned: "Is there any financial difficulty?" Many young people lack money.

Liang Xi replied: "No."

Seeing that Ouyang Lan didn't believe it, Liu Zhen said, "Auntie, his good friend is Bobby Clement, the patriarch of the Clement family. Don't worry about money at all."

Liang Xi was dissatisfied: "Don't mention that guy to me, I didn't deduct a few dollars from that guy, but I often worked for free."

Reina asked thoughtfully, "Do you have a good relationship with Bobby?"

Liang Xi thought for a while: "It's okay, what's wrong?"

Lena shook her head: "It's okay."

Liang Xi said: "If there is any business that requires me to say hello, I will be more than happy to help."

Reina smiled and said, "It's okay, thank you."

Ouyang Lan asked: "Is your girlfriend a doctor now?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Yes."

Ouyang Lan asked: "Is there any chance to have a meal together?"

Liang Xi said: "There must be a chance."

The best situation is for the two of them to chat alone, but Liang Xi refused to chat alone, he doesn't like chatting with emotional people.However, Liang Xi didn't have much reservations about his own situation. With the help of Lei Na, Ouyang Lan basically figured out Liang Xi's current situation.In a word: Liang Xi is very satisfied with his life now.

After the dinner, Lei Na and Ouyang Lan sent them to the car. Ouyang Lan finally reached out to hold Liang Xi's hand. Liang Xi hesitated and did not break free. Ouyang Lan said to Liang Xi: "Take good care of yourself. If you need help, please help me." Call me." Looking at Reina: "Reina, you are working in London now, do you know that you need to walk more between siblings?"

Liang Xi and Lei Na nodded in agreement.Liang Xi got into the car, Liu Zhen drove away, looked at Ouyang Lan standing in the same place through the rearview mirror, and said, "Heartless."

Liang Xi asked back: "Should we hold each other and cry for half an hour first?"

Liu Zhen said: "No, I think you are guarding against your mother."

Liang Xi said: "If you don't guard against it, you can't. Apart from your fate, there is also family affection that will change you."

Liu Zhen asked: "As long as you are distant enough, she can't interfere in your private life."

Liang Xi said absently, "Maybe."

Liu Zhen asked: "What do you think?"

Liang Xi said, "I'm thinking about how to deal with it?"

Liu Zhen smiled, hung up the bluetooth and connected the phone: "Hello...Okay, okay, we'll go there now."

"Why use us?"

Liu Zhen said: "I found Sink's old partner, Remy." Sink had partnered with Remy for five or six years as a trainee patrolman. Last time, Liang Xi analyzed that Remy was probably someone Sink could trust.

……

70-year-old Remy has no relatives. After retiring, he lives alone in the northern suburbs, fishing, walking the dog, watching TV, and occasionally visiting old friends on a whim.Although I know where Remy is, Remy doesn't use a mobile phone, and no one is at home for several visits.Today it was police station patrol officers who contacted agents from the Office of Counter Terrorism after spotting lights in the house.

Although he was not young, Remy looked pretty good.Remy, wearing a hat, warmly greeted Liang Xi and Liu Zhen to sit down. He was grilling steaks and told everyone to wait a moment.Before Liang Xi and the others arrived, the detective had already explained the matter of Xin Ke to him.

Hearing Liu Zhen's question, Remy sighed: "He is a good man."

Liang Xi asked, "May I ask if Xin Ke has entrusted you with anything for safekeeping?"

Remy was a little surprised: "Yes! It has been taken away."

"what?"

"Early yesterday morning, an agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs named Robert found me and took away the things that Sink asked me to keep."

"Xiao Luo?" Liu Zhen took his mobile phone, opened Ronaldinho's photo, and asked, "Is it him?"

Remy looked at it for a while: "It should be him. His ID is still with me. I took over his ID check and called to confirm his identity before I handed over the things to him. It also caused his The documents are here."

Liang Xi asked, "What is it?"

Remy said: "A small suitcase. Sink asked me not to ask so many questions. I hid the suitcase in the garage of the neighbor next door. The neighbor is an aunt who is in her 60s this year. Her children work abroad. She Doesn't tidy up the garage."

Liang Xi thought of a possibility: "Could it be that Sink's murder has nothing to do with the Gausker Building, but with the case Sink investigated?"

Liu Zhen asked: "Do you think that Sinke is not only an illegal and just eight-shooter? He is also secretly investigating the case?"

Before Liang Xi answered, Remy interrupted: "Sink is definitely not a shooter."

"why?"

Remy said: "Sink has a serious mental disorder, he can't shoot a living person."

"What?" Liang Xi and Liu Zhen asked in unison.

Remy said: "In the second year of my partner with him, there was an unexpected incident, because he still couldn't pull the trigger, and I was shot."

Liu Zhendao: "But Sink's resume didn't mention this point, and if he has such a psychological barrier, how can he continue to be a patrolman, or even become an agent?"

Remy said: "Because I concealed this matter. You know, most of the British patrols are not equipped with guns. I have been a patrol for 38 years, and I have almost no chance to use a gun."

Liang Xi said: "That's not right. There has been an early warning for the Internet celebrity festival in the Gausker Building. Since Xinke has a psychological barrier, why would he volunteer to enter the Gausker Building?"

Remy said: "No, Sink will never take the initiative to undertake dangerous jobs, especially jobs where guns may be used."

Liang Xi said: "At that time, I encountered a problem in the Gausker Building, and Sink expressed his willingness to kill people with guns for me."

Remy shook his head: "I don't know. The psychological counselor at the police station told Sink very clearly that this kind of psychological barrier is difficult to overcome."

Liang Xi said, "Psychological counselor?"

Remy said: "Ma Long, the current assistant director of operations, Malone, is also a good friend of Sink."

Liu Zhendao: "Xin Ke is an agent directly under the Office of the Operations Department."

Remy's explanation opened up Liang Xi's new thinking, and he said to himself: "Xin Ke is a good policeman. He discovered a certain case and collected evidence secretly. Unfortunately, what he did was discovered by the bad guys, so the bad guys Sending him to the Gausker Building, killing Sink with a proprietary trap, and helping Johnson with Sink's inability to shoot a living person."

Liu Zhendao: "But the bad guys didn't expect us to focus on Sink, suspected that Sink was a bad guy, and conducted a comprehensive investigation on Sink. So they anonymously emailed Sink as the eighth shooter to test us. We thought of Remy , the other party took the initiative to find Remy and took away the physical evidence."

Liang Xi said: "Ma Long, Ma Long has always been on the edge of the problem." In the case of Nakata's poisoning, Nakata was a member of the Office of the Operations Department.

Liu Zhen asked: "Where is Ronaldinho?"

Liang Xi said: "Xiao Luo's question can be explained. You arrange five African-Americans and ask Mr. Remy to identify them. I believe Mr. Remy cannot clearly distinguish them."

Remy nodded: "Not only are African-Americans, but it is also difficult for me to recognize Asian faces. This may be the reason why I have been a patrol officer for 38 years."

Liu Zhen picked up the Ronaldinho certificate that Remy gave him, and said, "But Ronaldinho's certificate is real."

Liang Xi said: "We have to meet Xiao Luo."

……

"Xiao Luo sent an email to ask for sick leave yesterday, saying it was a toothache." The accompanying detective hung up the phone in the co-pilot and said, "This morning, Xiao Luo sent a text message to the same team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that he would ask for another day of leave. "

"I have some ominous premonition." Liang Xi analyzed: "The villain sent Sink into the Gausker building. As the highest-ranked police officer, Sink became the temporary supervisor of the police in the Gausker building. The villain successfully used the rear door to bomb the trap and kill him. Logically speaking, Sink became a hero because of his death in the line of duty. However, the gangsters in the Gausker Building performed too much, which led the police to a certain extent to suspect that Sink was an inner ghost. Fortunately, with Sink's death in the line of duty, everyone I regained my trust in Sink. However, I was full and put forward a possibility: that Sink is an insider, and the bad guys use knives to kill people. Although this speculation is wrong, it hits the bad guys at the heart. Because some of my Influence, Isa accepted my suspicion and contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs to start investigating Sink. This result was not expected by the bad guys."

No policeman would suspect a policeman who died in the line of duty, neither objectively nor emotionally.But Yisha listened to Liang Xi and went against the rules.It has been said before that the behavior of the police is traceable, and unconventional behavior will be beyond the expectations of those who are calculating and traceable.

Liang Xi said: "The bad guys won't believe it. Just based on my words, Isha and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make an unconventional investigation. They think Isha has some clues and evidence. The bad guys may suspect that Sinke has hidden some evidence. So I contacted Ronaldinho by anonymous email to test the depth. Our biggest mistake was to underestimate the importance of the other party."

Liang Xi said: "One possibility: They tortured and forced a confession from Ronaldinho. When Ronaldinho mentioned Remy, they contacted Remy as Ronaldinho and took away things. One possibility: They knew that Ronaldinho was in Secretly looking for Remy, first find Remy, and found what Sink hid in Remy. So they forced a confession from Ronaldinho, confirming that Ronaldinho and the anti-terrorism office did not know about Remy and the suitcase. No matter which possibility , I think Ronaldinho may have been killed."

……

The white-collar villa area is a landscape in many developed countries. According to a large proportion of data, people living in the city center are either rich or poor.Most of the middle class live in relatively remote white-collar villa areas, mostly in the suburbs and suburbs.Ronaldinho's home is in the villa area in the western suburbs. The western suburbs are not a place, but a collective term.It is far from the city center, but it belongs to the urban category, so it can be called the suburbs.The definition of a city center is generally based on administrative and financial criteria.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Xiao Luo's house, and there were quite a lot of people in the community.Usually, the neighbors in this kind of residential area have a good relationship, and they often get together to have dinner together, either for barbecue, or for each household to cook a few dishes and put together to have dinner on the grass.Two vans were parked at the front and rear doors of Xiao Luo's house, attracting the attention of the neighbors next door. Special police officers in full gear came down from the back door and quickly controlled the entrances and exits of the front and back doors.

Liu Zhen and Liang Xi got out of the car, Liu Zhen drew his gun, leaned aside and knocked on the door: "Police, please open the door."

Liang Xi went to the neighbor next door and asked, "Do you know Little Robert?"
