Liang Xi: "The name is too bad."

The head of the bodyguard smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, the girl's parents are devout Catholic believers. They said they had a premonition that the child had been called by God to leave this world. But the church refused to hold the girl's funeral. In terms of religious definition, girls only Go to hell. They desperately need to know whether the girl is alive or dead, and they would be very grateful if they only found the girl's body."

Liang Xi said: "I won't deal with it just because Bobby is messing around." He knew that death is not terrible for believers in the Catholic Church, and it is terrible without a funeral.The funeral priest read the eulogy, asking God to forgive all the crimes of the deceased and open the gate to heaven to accept the soul of the deceased.In the eyes of devout believers, not having a funeral is something more terrible than death.

……

The next morning, Karin drove Liang Xi to work in a second-hand car she bought yesterday.Karin is resting today. She knows that Liang Xi has a lot of things to do recently, so she doesn't arrange a program to go out to exercise.Today's show is going to work with my boyfriend,

"The holy flag is here again?" Karin asked when she saw the content on the clipboard when she arrived at Liang Xi Detective Agency.

Liang Xi nodded.

Karin said: "The Holy Banner's attack frequency against London every six months sounds very regular, but it doesn't conform to the law of terrorism."

Liang Xi made coffee, and while waiting, sat on the armrest of the sofa, put one hand on Karin's shoulder, looked at the clipboard together, and asked, "What's the rule of fear?"

"An attack in three years, five years, or even more years. A terrorist attack will not be a single attack. Take Mumbai hotels in India as an example. The main attack occurred in Mumbai hotels, but there were explosions in multiple places in Mumbai , a lot of people caused riots. The advantage of this is that the police department cannot judge which wave of attacks is the focus of terrorism." Karin said: "There are also cases like the holy flag, which mainly happened in the last century. As long as you get If there are no resources, launch an attack immediately."

Karin said: "In my opinion, the repeated attacks of the Holy Banner have paid a high price. The first wave was a dozen gunmen attacking Maria Hospital with the help of local terrorists. Later, there was little movement in the waves. Even two deeply hidden terrorists in the local area were dug out. The third section of the Net Red Festival was very large, but in terms of the results, Johnson let most of the people go, and Shengqi was not ashamed to send this The achievements belong to oneself. If there is no achievement, there will be no money. The rich man in the Middle East is rich, but he is not a fool. You can’t do it, he can invest in others.”

Liang Xi said: "You are talking about the key point, money! Traditional terrorism uses attacks to increase popularity and then gain more financial support. On the contrary, Shengqi launched attacks in order to make money. Shengqi has Middle Eastern patrons , but as you said, with Shengqi’s current performance, he can’t get much money. After all, there are too many people with projects. Compared with the British, Middle Easterners prefer to attack Americans and Israelis. The boss of Shengqi, Mr. X He is the key person who has been giving blood transfusions to Shengqi."

4 Chapter Fifty

Liang Xidao: "Mr. X's ostensible purpose is to disrupt the judicial system. I guess he was the one who created the eight gunmen, and I guess the flour mill was also responsible for the formation of Montenegro with special police as members to assist Johnson in handling the third Internet celebrity festival. Everything about Mr. X His actions are all aimed at undermining the prestige of the police, and he wants to send a signal that the current London police are not enough to protect London citizens."

Liang Xi said: "The official speculation is that someone is retaliating against Brexit, or because of Scotland and Northern Ireland. I think that Mr. X has no persistent goals. I think he is playing. Maybe he is not playing alone. From his It can be seen from what he has done that he is playing bigger and bigger, and this time he even pulled the Kefu family into the game."

Karin asked: "Do you think that Mr. X has no clear demands and claims?"

Liang Xi nodded: "I think he is using people who have demands and claims. Does Shengqi have demands and claims? Ask the UK to withdraw all troops stationed in the Middle East. Some people in the UK have demands? They want to return to the MI5 model. The United States After 911/5, although ca could not directly intervene in the affairs of the United States due to the law, the United States established a new department called the Office of Homeland Security. This department is not only intelligence personnel, but also includes tens of thousands of guards, which is equivalent to an intelligence army An integrated domestic department, this department has the power of arrest and investigation in the country. On the other hand, the United Kingdom has deprived MI[-] of its power of investigation and law enforcement.”

Liang Xidao: "Create friends at the same time. The former mayor, several councilors, and the judge in the accident case. I'm not sure whether this part is Mr. X's fun, or whether Mr. X's branch forces have appeals. "

Liang Xi said: "Currently, the scariest thing about Mr. X or Mr. X's branch is Operation Blood Dawn. This part is played very seriously. The identity of Davis will be very interesting."

Karin asked: "Before you speculated that Davis was behind the scenes? Is he a member of the Dark Society?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "I can't be sure, but I don't think Davis can reach the level of the final boss. There is a big event at present. If the orphans can't produce evidence within two weeks to prove that they didn't kill Xiaoan, the Kefu family and the orphans will be killed." The war of the Guild will inevitably happen. What is so interesting about this matter? I proposed to create a battle between the Dark Council and the Orphan Council, and the Thresh Strategy was born. Obviously someone plagiarized this idea, stealing the dragon and turning it into a phoenix, turning the dark It will turn into the Kefu family. The person who killed Xiao An is basically a member of the Dark Society. Judging from the Blood Dawn operation, there are high-level members of the British judiciary who have connections with the boss who killed Xiao An."

Karin said: "There are so many people involved, it's hard for you to get a really correct answer." She understood that Liang Xi had an idea now, but he didn't come to a conclusion.

Liang Xi nodded: "That's right, so we have to look at the battle regardless of strategy. And no matter what chess the person behind the scenes wants to play, he will definitely play a chess piece. No matter how difficult it is to use the holy flag, he will use it, because the holy flag can be blamed and can be done." All bad things. But the people of the Holy Banner have been poached by me, and I hope they can send a heavyweight to sit in London this time."

Liang Xi paused: "Did they come this time just to catch Isha on a holiday?" It seems that the time is about the same, and the plan seems to be the time when Isa was under house arrest.To be fair, Sheng Qi suffered a lot under Dao Feng's hands.

Liang Xi stood up: "I'm going to prepare morning tea and snacks."

Karin asked: "Could it be that yesterday's snacks were reheated in the microwave?"

"How could I keep yesterday's snacks? I didn't finish eating the day before yesterday." Liang Xi said, "This is the garlic barbecue sauce I marinated under the guidance of netizens the day before yesterday. I bought eggplant and other vegetables, and two steaks. After pouring the sauce and putting it in the oven for half an hour, it is said to be as delicious as the world."

Karin asked: "Eat such a strong taste early in the morning?" Drinking tea is eating dessert.

Liang Xi said, "You can treat it as lunch."

Karin doesn't matter, as long as you like it.Unless it is very busy, there is a tea break every morning and afternoon.A cup of coffee, some pastries, and chatting among colleagues can effectively relieve work pressure.Karin didn't feel good about it, and she didn't think it was bad. She didn't participate if she had something to do, and she would go to the lounge for a cup of coffee if she had nothing to do.

……

After the food came out, the two drank coffee, ate this food, watched TV, chatted, and enjoyed a quiet and peaceful life.Today Liang Xi's work study track.The area of ​​the monastery is too large, and it has a history of hundreds of years. There are many secret doors in the monastery.It is impossible for the police to search every corner. According to the police records, they basically searched all the rooms.But not all the rooms were tested.Of course, it is not realistic to collect evidence in all the rooms, not to mention the intensity of the search, it is estimated that all the evidence cannot be tested in a month.

As for the specific information, you can only get it after the tracking game starts. Liang Xi's work today is mainly to familiarize himself with the monastery through the structural blueprint.

Before the work started, and the food was not finished, a customer rang the doorbell.

Liang Xi glanced at the monitor, it was Little Queen Fanny.The moisturizing slightly curly hair matched her white cheeks, giving it a faint fantasy color.Although Karin was born beautiful, she didn't deliberately dress up. On the whole, Karin is not as good today.

Liang Xi introduced the two to each other, and after Fanny shook hands with Karin friendly, she said to Liang Xi, "You're lucky."

Karin had heard about Fanny a long time ago, she smiled and complimented Fanny on her beauty, and motioned for Fanny to sit down.They were in the living area before, and after Fanny came, Liang Xi led them to the office area.Karin packed up the food in the living area, called for some pastries from a nearby bakery, and made another coffee after asking Fanny.

Fanny took off the scarf and put it on the armrest of the sofa, and said, "I don't believe you haven't made any progress."

"What progress?" Turning to look at the ten-day crisis on the writing board: "I have no way to intervene in this case now, if they are unwilling to share information with me, I am afraid I can only be an outsider in this terrorist attack. "

Fanny said, "No, what I'm talking about is the murders that occur four times a day, in three countries and four regions, within 10 minutes at the same time."

Liang Xi was taken aback: "I didn't pay attention, and I don't have any information about it."

Fanny asked, "Didn't Hannah give you the information?"

Liang Xi remembered: "Oh... I don't think the four cases are a coincidence. We know that the orphan will send people to attack a woman who is suspected of being a holy flag, and she is one of the dead. It is intriguing why the other three murder cases What about the timing of this case? Obviously, someone knew about the attack plan of the Orphan Association and deliberately framed it."

Fanny asked, "You didn't see it, did you?"

Liang Xi nodded honestly: "Yes, I didn't watch it."

Fanny asked, "Why? Don't you care?"

Liang Xi thought for a while: "Tell the truth or tell a lie?"

Fanny: "False?"

Liang Xi said: "I'm very busy. I have a lot of things going on recently. I got involved in a bizarre case yesterday morning. I just assisted the anti-terrorism office in arresting a murderer last night. There is another bad thing going on with Bobby. I really can't get out of it." The truth, but not the reason.

Fanny: "What about the truth?"

Liang Xi replied: "It was my idea to provoke the Orphan Society and the Dark Society to fight. I don't care whether it is the Orphan Society, the Kefu family or the Dark Society that die."

Fanny realized that she had misunderstood, and said, "I thought you must be interested in such a big case."

Liang Xi: "No."

Fanny said: "Have you ever thought that if you help Hannah today, Hannah may help you in the future?"

Liang Xi said: "Hannah is a collectivist. She acts in the best interests of the family. It means that she can only give me some superficial things. For example, we have a good relationship. I will borrow a set from you. Ten thousand pounds, would you borrow it?"

Fanny said, "I'll give you one hundred thousand."

Liang Xi asked again: "Please tell me the real identity of the boss of the Gu Lao Hui?"

Fanny smiled: "It's impossible, our relationship hasn't reached that point yet."

Liang Xi asked: "At what point did we get involved that you would betray your friend?"

Fanny thought for a while, and replied: "I will tell you this secret after we have a relationship that you will not betray me. In this way, there is no possibility of betraying a friend."

Liang Xi said: "The same is true for Hannah. What does Hannah have? Money, private jets, etc., I have no shortage of these. Suppose I am going to a certain place urgently, I can contact Bobby or an acquaintance in the judiciary, Ask them to fly me a plane. I don't care if she gives it to me. I want to know what she knows about membership in the Dark Order, will she tell me?"

Fanny shook her head: "No, but she should indeed know the identity of a certain member."

Liang Xi said: "So I can't think of a reason to intervene in the case. Take us as an example. If I help you, we can at least make friends. Why? Because you are an individualist, you may betray me, but you need a lot of bargaining chips. Will betray me, you must consider paying the price of your personal reputation for this. You are willing to help me every day, because I am your friend and belong to your personal resources. Collectivists are different, they do not consider personal reputation and interests, when the collective needs He can sell you out when you're there. It's almost impossible to get him to help you at the expense of the collective. I don't make friends with collectivists."

Fanny added, "Unless you're part of his group."

Liang Xi shook his head and laughed, and said, "A recent internet joke has been very popular. If I am a member of Hannah's collective, then Hannah is the Great Wall. The Great Wall is great, but I am only the one who built the Great Wall. I will definitely not build it because of myself. Pass the Great Wall and be proud of Hannah. It's similar to One-Eyed."

Liang Xidao: "I admire people like Cyclops because Cyclops is willing to sacrifice his life to protect the world and create a peaceful life for many people. Friend. Because if need be, he can take my friend for gunshots and think he has no choice. Sent to a dead end, so I respect the one-eyed far away."

Liang Xi concluded: "Holding Hannah's thigh, the risk is higher than the benefit."

Fanny hit the nail on the head: "The main thing is that money can't buy you, money is not important to her. She doesn't intend to use what is important to her to get close to you."

Liang Xi disagreed, saying: "You can't say that. Although I don't care much about money, I am in a neutral position. If someone gives enough money, I am still happy to be hired." Liang Xi prefers to make friends Employment, you pay me to do the work, and the road is full when the work is done, each side walks.You do not delay, I do not owe, fair trade.

Fanny said: "I pay, I have to help my friends."

"alright."

"How many?"

"How much?" There is no fee standard for this.Liang Xi thought for a while: "There is no fee standard, and the customer will pay for it."

Fenny felt that Liang Xi was embarrassed, and asked jokingly, "It's not worth a pound, is it?"

Liang Xi laughed along with him, and Fanny felt a little taste, and asked with a big laugh, "Would you take the one pound too?"

Liang Xi changed the subject and said, "I'll look at the information first and then talk about the price. The information is in the apartment, let's forget about it today, and talk about it tomorrow."

"I have." Fanny called.Her attitude and tone changed 180 degrees in an instant, and she communicated with the other party in very polite, indifferent and mechanical language: "Hello, please bring my computer up."

After hanging up, Fanny explained: "My bodyguard. I like to keep a friendly distance from the staff around me."

Liang Xi nodded and did not comment, and the computer was delivered soon.Karin sat down to accompany Fanny, and Liang Xi went to the living area to read the materials.

……

Near noon, the two women went out for a walk in the commercial street.An hour later, they brought back four kinds of food.One kind of food is mainly Mexican sour and spicy, with meat and vegetables.One is food truck street food.One kind of food is mainly fried and roasted, and the main food is meat.One food is the Chinese Sichuan cuisine husband and wife lung slices, naohua and mapo tofu.

Fanny and Karin chatted well, and they came back talking and laughing.Liang Xi greeted the two of them, delivered the food to the office area, and began to tidy up the dishes.Unexpectedly, Karin pushed Liang Xi back to the living area.Liang Xi knew there was a ghost, but he didn't say anything. Three minutes later, Karin called Liang Xi to eat, and all the takeaways were put on the table.The two women stood by the table, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at Liang Xi with a smile on their faces.

Fanny: "Intuition or deduction, there are a total of twelve dishes here. Among them, there are 3 dishes of Mexican food, 3 dishes of street food trucks, 3 dishes of Chinese food, and three dishes are French risotto, Yangzhou fried rice and dumpling noodle soup. Four groups In the dishes, Karin and I each ordered our own portion, and Karin ordered one for you, you need to arrange the food correctly."

Liang Xi smiled: "Too childish, isn't it?"

Fanny said: "How well do you know your girlfriend? How much does your girlfriend know? Whether it's intuition or reasoning, you must help us separate it."

Karin encouraged: "It's okay dear, I won't be angry even if you choose all wrong."

Liang Xi couldn't understand why the two women went shopping and the result was to let him take the exam, and he didn't want to understand this part of the question.Looking at the four groups neatly separated on the table, Liang Xi motioned for the two to sit down.

Started with the burritos, corn quesadillas and pork seafood empanadas.Liang Xi recalled that he and Karin had only eaten 1 and 3. When Karin had a choice, she would not choose food for Liang Xi that Liang Xi had not eaten.Karin is someone who likes to try new things within the framework.Liang Xi puts the cornbread in front of Karin, Fanny applauds lightly, and Karin kisses Liang Xi's cheek to show that the choice is correct.

Normally, Liang Xi would choose pies, but he ate a lot of meat in the morning. As a doctor, Karin should control the combination of meat and vegetables.In addition to the burritos that Liang Xi also likes, the chances of the two are [-] to [-].Choosing food is subjective. From Karin’s selection of shortbread, it can be found that today Karin subconsciously rejects meat.So Liang Xi brought the burrito and put the pie in front of Fanny.

Fanny was very involved and applauded again and again, all the choices in this group were correct.

Chapter 451

Liang Xi put the sizzling Tomahawk beef from the street food truck in front of him, no problem.No matter how many times he and Karin go out, no matter how much Liang Xi eats, as long as he eats street food, he must order Tomahawk steak.There is a Japanese fried salmon and a Korean grilled squid left.You can tell from the appearance that the grilled squid is very rough, and a large squid is rolled on a stick. Compared with health, the squid has a relatively strong positive effect, so the squid belongs to Karin.

Liang Xi also answered this question correctly.

The third question is the staple food defined by Liang Xi. In fact, except for Yangzhou fried rice, the other two belong to the appetizers of Western food.Although he is of Chinese descent, Liang Xi does not eat Yangzhou fried rice. Karin once bought Yangzhou fried rice for supper, but Liang Xi ate very little, so he excused himself to eat it later.Liang Xi eats more rice every day, but he is not used to risotto after eating too much white rice. Liang Xi chose Italian dumplings for himself.This choice is correct.

But he made a mistake in the choice of risotto and fried rice. Only then did Liang Xi know that Karin didn't like white rice, nor did he like fried rice made of white rice.Although risotto is also rice, it is more delicious when it is half-cooked by adding various flavors to the rice, so Karin chose risotto.

Liang Xi expressed his apologies, and it was okay for Karin to hug and comfort her.

The last dish made Liang Xi stuck, because Liang Xi didn't like these three Chinese dishes.These three dishes are very oily and watery, and the red oil soaks the food as if it doesn't cost money. After the food is picked up, the oil keeps dripping down the chopsticks.The last question can only be reasoned, the first is brain teasing, ordinary people will not click this thing easily, unless they don't know what it is.Karin would not think that Liang Xi would definitely be able to eat.Therefore, people who order brain tea must be those who have eaten and can accept brain tea.

Liang Xi gave Karin his brain. Karin is a doctor, and she is more tolerant.Unexpectedly, the two girls showed expressions of "Oh, it's obviously a mistake."Liang Xi chose tofu and put the lung slices in front of Fanny.

Karin waved her hand and explained: "I chose lung slices. The main ingredients of lung slices are beef and beef offal. Fanny can't accept it."

Liang Xi asked, "Where's the brain?"

Karin said: "That time when we chatted, the topic was the most bizarre food. You said that the brain flower is a very common food, and it tastes great when you put some cooking wine and shredded ginger. What I understand is that the competition in the ancient oriental country in the TV show Fast Forward requires the contestants to eat a local delicacy: snow clam fallopian tubes."

Liang Xi corrected: "Many people like it, but I can't accept it myself." Many foods such as hairy eggs are unacceptable to Liang Xi.

Fanny smoothed things over: "The score is good. It can be seen that Karin is living in happiness, enjoying and savoring love. Liang Xi lacks some detailed memory. I am more curious why Liang Xi did not consider my factor at all in your analysis? You see The last question, many Europeans will not accept beef offal and brains, if you think about me, then you know that I ordered the tofu."

Liang Xi apologized: "I'm sorry. I didn't think about you during the whole process, so I just leave the rest to you."

"Haha." Fanny relieved the embarrassment with a smile, really asking for fun.Liang Xi made up for his previous mistakes with this sentence, and received a kiss from Karin.

Although it was a childish game, Liang Xi learned something from it, especially Fanny's last sentence.Sometimes the secondary role is the key to success or failure, remind yourself not to ignore the secondary role in anything.Remind yourself to explain that Liang Xi finds himself in the habit of ignoring secondary characters.This is the sequelae of too much emphasis on grasping the core and focusing on the key points.

……

During the slow lunch, Liang Xi sorted out and explained the case.The focus is on Xiao An's assassination case. Liang Xi analyzed: "As I said before, the bad guys knew that the Orphan Association was going to attack someone, so they killed three other people within a limited time, and put the blame on the Orphan Association. The Orphan Association did kill people. There is no problem with the A woman killed by the orphan, and the dead Otome and A man are also fine. The problem lies in Xiao An. Xiao An is different from them. Xiao An has security forces around him, so it is difficult to assassinate in close quarters, so the killer uses a sniper rifle .”

Liang Xi said: "How could Xiao An be exposed to the gun within 10 minutes? The lonely old man will attack first, and then the three killers will follow. Xiao An is the main target of the villains. Xiao An must be killed. The snipers have already The ambush is good. But why did Xiao An cooperate with the location of the sniper and the assassination time? The only explanation is that someone made arrangements for Xiao An."

Liang Xidao: "After receiving the news, this person arranged Xiaoan to be within the shooting range of the sniper. There were many reasons, such as asking Xiaoan to say a few words, or telling Xiaoan where he was waiting for him, or placing Xiaoan in an open-air restaurant The location. Fanny, you provided very little information about Xiao An. You only know that the place where Xiao An was killed was the roof of the building. The building is [-] floors high, and the roof is [-] floors. Xiao An works on the [-]th floor. Why did he go to the [-]th floor? Who An appointment to meet Xiao An on the rooftop? Who will be the person who can let Xiao An meet on the rooftop? What about Xiao An’s communication records? What about the transcripts of Xiao An’s assistant and housekeeper? None, how can I check this?”

Liang Xidao: "I speculate that Xiao An's assassination was not an accident. Someone should have planned to kill him, or he could be killed or not, or he couldn't do it because there was no chance. Killing Xiao An was just an idea. If there is no such opportunity, this Ideas may never be realized. Conversely, if there is no idea, even if there is this opportunity, it will not be grasped.”

Fanny understood, and said: "You mean, someone is not good for Xiao An, but unfortunately he didn't do it due to some objective reasons. Until this opportunity was obtained. The villains behind the scenes couldn't kill Xiao An within time control, but because of someone's help, They completed the assassination. Someone was a person who influenced Xiaoan's behavior to a certain extent."

Liang Xi said: "That's right! But if you look at the information, there are only some police materials such as the case, investigation report, physical evidence, and autopsy report. There is no key information about Xiao An. I speculate that something happened around Xiao An. You can ask Hannah for information. , why there is no transcript of Xiao An's personal assistant and housekeeper. Judging from their positions, they know more about Xiao An than her parents.

Seeing that Fanny was about to get up, Karin said, "Eat first, and call later."

Fanny still stood up with her mobile phone: "Don't steal my share." Smiling with Karin, Fanny went to the living area to make a call.

Liang Xi asked curiously, "Is your relationship good?"

Karin replied: "If we communicate frequently, I think we will become good friends." There was no unpleasant incident between the two of them, and they hit it off quite well, but they cannot be said to have a good relationship.Karin is smart and calm. She doesn't have a good time making friends because many of her ideas are inconsistent with those in her circle.For example, when a scumbag in junior high school is still considering rankings, grades and ranks, a top student has completed the high school mathematics self-study course. Although they are in the same school and class, their ideas are very different, and it is basically impossible to become friends.

Fiona is not only smart, but also a professional, with an emotional mind that Karin lacks.In human terms, it is high-grade enough, and has a personality that Karin does not have.If it weren't for the estrangement between the two of them because of Liang Xi, they would have become good friends.Fanny has a free and unrestrained personality, has experience and knowledge, she can tolerate everything, and can get along with many people happily.Karin is not against getting along with this kind of people and making friends. At the same time, Karin also explained that they can only be good friends at best.
