Chris entertained guests with mineral water from the refrigerator and asked, "What message?"

Ke Lante said: "Xiao An's parents died in a traffic accident in the information. Xiao An was only two years old at the time, and his uncle raised Xiao An to grow up. I happened to know Xiao An's mother's father. We often played golf together. I accidentally listened to him Talking about his daughter who passed away, but never heard him mention that he had a grandson. Xiaoan was appointed as the quasi-patriarch at the age of 12 and then raised. Uncle’s son Daan was 15 years old at the time. I compared their information in detail, and I No advantages were found between the 12-year-old Xiaoan and the 15-year-old Daan."

Ke Lante said: "The quasi-patriarch means to be able to compete for the head of the Kefu family, and the other means to be the future ruler of the family. Even if Xiaoan did not become the head of the Kefu family, he is also the head of Hannah's big family. Now The head of the family is Xiao'an and Da'an's grandfather. To be fair, their parents have passed away, people are always more selfish, how could Xiao'an become the quasi-patriarch, not Da'an?"

Ke Lante said: "I contacted Hannah, and the other party didn't seem to want to mention this matter. They only said that whether my suspicion was true or false had nothing to do with the case itself. I really don't know how much they have done in these materials. Please We solve cases without giving us real information."

Liang Xi asked, "Why did you ask?"

Ke Lante said: "I asked, is Xiao An sure that he is the biological child of his parents? Hannah asked, is this a critical question? I said not sure whether it is critical. Hannah replied: Xiao An must be the blood of our family. I ask Talked to Hannah's father, and waited for a long time to get connected, but it turned out that Hannah's father's housekeeper answered the phone. He said that the old man was unwell and was recuperating in Switzerland, so he couldn't be contacted. If you have any questions, you can ask him. I asked the housekeeper the same question, butler Answer: Xiaoan must be the child of his parents. I said, Hannah didn’t say that. The housekeeper paused for a long time and told me that he didn’t know what was going on and would contact me later. I hung up the phone and waited for a while, and Hannah called Call me, tell me not to worry about Xiao An's parents, and concentrate on handling the case."

Liang Xi asked after tasting, "Do you suspect that Xiao An's death is related to his family's internal affairs?"

Ke Lante nodded: "Xiao An's family, or Hannah's big family, is the most powerful and powerful direct family in the Kefu family. There are many people inside. We only mentioned Xiao An and Da An. There are five elders in the family. Three boys, three girls, and more than 20 grandchildren. In addition to the old man’s six brothers and sisters, their children and their children are all in the system. The direct members of Hannah’s big family include politicians, generals, scientists, rich people, and stars etc., the branches are in more than 20 countries, and many people have a lot of influence in their own country. Compared with the position of the patriarch of the Kefu family, I personally think that the position of the head of the Hannah family is more important."

Ke Lante: "The direction of my investigation is the internal issues of Hannah's big family. The reason for this investigation is that I listened to several transcripts and audio recordings and found that several members of Hannah's big family did not have any grief and indignation for Xiao An's death. Indifferent, showing an attitude of not caring much. Among them is one of Xiao An's guardians, Xiao An's aunt. Therefore, I intuitively feel that there is a conflict within the big family."

Liang Xi said: "Hannah's attitude shows that she doesn't want us to know too much information about the big family."

Ke Lante nodded: "Even if it is really a vendetta within the big family, Hannah will not take any revenge actions. After all, it is an internal incident and internally digested. Conversely, Hannah should have conducted an internal investigation. I will turn to Blood Moon for help after the result. My investigation direction is most likely wrong. But if Hannah doesn’t provide real information, how can I believe that the other information they provide is true?”

Ke Lante said: "I don't plan to continue the investigation. Since I promised to stay for ten days, then I will stay for ten days. I can help everyone with chores for these ten days."

Liang Xi said: "I contacted Hannah and asked her to update all the information. She must give true and effective information."

"Will she give it?"

"She can't refuse to give it, and if she doesn't give it, we will go on strike." Liang Xi said: "As Ke Lante said, we can't investigate if we can't tell the truth from the fake."

But Liang Xi didn't expect Hannah to be very firm and insisted that Liang Xi and the others ignore the matter of Xiao An's parents.On this basis, Hannah agrees to update some electronic materials, and at the same time guarantees that all the information provided is true information.

Two hours later, one hard disk was replaced by another hard disk.After Liang Xi inquired and compared the information, he found that there were quite a lot of lies.The first is the structure of the Koff family. Bobby was right, but the data on the first mobile hard drive was wrong.The second is the relationship. Many people in Hannah's big family don't like Xiao An, and many people have verbal and even physical conflicts with Xiao An.According to the first hard disk, everyone in Hannah's big family likes Ann, and he is a natural leader.

Fortunately, Hannah knew the seriousness and didn't do anything about the records and monitoring.She just didn't want outsiders to know about the internal affairs of her big family and the Kefu family. She really hoped to find the answer that Xiao An appeared on the rooftop at the wrong time.

In addition, there is a voice of Hannah. She apologized for not providing comprehensive information before. Xiao An’s inability to be the patriarch of the Kefu family is a huge loss for Hannah’s big family, and it has also led to factions and suspicions within the big family.She promised to fully cooperate with all the guests in the following investigations.

Liang Xi didn't understand why Hannah didn't answer the question directly at this time.At afternoon tea, Ke Lante told Liang Xi that this kind of situation was common to him.When serving as a police detective, whether it is the victim or the suspect, or their friends and relatives, there will be more or less things to hide.Some people do it to cover up their mistakes, some people do it to protect their privacy, and some people don't want to speak ill of others.He has to deal with lies almost every day,

Chapter 4 Ninety and Ten Days (Eight)

Afternoon tea was served by Anthony, Fanny, Liang Xi, and Ke Lante. Liang Xi was the main force, Anthony was the helper, Ke Lante was the servant, and Fanny was the troublemaker.When a piece of pastry that was not exquisite but tasted very good was delivered to the table, Chef Liang Xi received applause from everyone.

The eight people sat down, drank tea and ate snacks, and started a comprehensive discussion on Xiaoan's case.Bobby stepped on the beam first: you shut up.I still have to copy my homework.Liang Xi ignored Bobby, this kind of discussion did not involve too much personal effort.For example, someone asks a question, and everyone conducts reasoning and improvement.

From the discussion of the three detectives, we can know that their investigation directions are different.Kensi pays more attention to Ann's private life.

The direction of Corant's investigation is Hannah's big family. According to the known information, Xiao An's contacts with other big family members are very loose, and there is no one who is particularly close or hostile.Currant will continue to investigate Hannah's extended family.

Liang Xi didn't speak much, he was still thinking, and there was a question in his mind that he couldn't get around.When encountering problems that cannot be avoided in daily life, Liang Xi will let go first, or make a far-fetched explanation and let go first.But Liang Xi couldn't think of a far-fetched reason for this question, and that was the female reporter's husband. There were many contradictions in what happened to this man, which made him keep thinking about the problems he had put down.

Chris went out more than ten meters to the phone booth, picked up the satellite phone he had prepared, dialed the number and checked the surrounding situation.There are quite a few security personnel with high quality, standing quietly or cruising back and forth, no one leans on or sits down.

"Hmm, um." Sera's electronic voice.Hmm is the password.

Chris: "Mmmmm."

"alright."

"Uh-huh."

After the neurotic code, Serra explained the situation: "I found the computers in each room, which were purchased by the French security company 'Body Armor' ten days ago. They bought accessories and assembled them into desktop computers."

Chris asked, "Anything else?"

Serra said: "The other thing is that Hannah is in Brighton, England. There is no other news. Hey, shouldn't you solve the case first?"

Chris sighed, "That's the hardest part."

Sera said: "Mia said that the castle plan is ready."

Chris: "Castle Project, Castle Project! Treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Serra, who do you think is most likely to solve the case, Kensi, Currant, or Liang Xi?"

Serra replied: "Kenxi. I collected the information of the three people, and then conducted a systematic analysis, and found that Kenxi is very good at finding useful information from massive amounts of data. The weakest is Liang Xi. The more information, the faster Liang Xi solves the case. The slower it is. Liang Xi’s advantage lies in solving skill-based cases, criminals have ideas, and he has more ideas than criminals. My suggestion is to cooperate with Ke Lante, Kensi is a poisonous snake, maybe he may not announce the truth even if he finds the truth.”

"Agreed, everyone knows that Kensi can be bought, and the possibility of Kensi being bought cannot be ruled out." Chris said: "Keep watching."

Chris returned to the restaurant and enjoyed afternoon tea with everyone.He planned to get closer to Ke Lante, but Liang Xi and Ke Lante had a hot chat, so he could only say hello to Kenxi, who was not very talkative.

After a certain time, people left one after another. Chef Anthony began to prepare dinner, and Fanny volunteered to help.Chris wanted to keep up with Ke Lante, but he didn't expect that Liang Xi and Ke Lante talked while walking, and went to Ke Lante's room together.

……

Liang Xi sat down, took the water that Ke Lante took out from the refrigerator, and said, "I didn't think about these few questions! The female reporter's husband killed Xiao An, and the timing was very precise. Xiao An was meeting with someone, and the female reporter's husband ordered Aim the gun, see Xiaoan’s back in the scope, shoot and kill. Can the gun be used directly? About 150 meters away.”

Ke Lante said: "Depending on the specific situation, some firearms are acceptable. As long as the guide rail or scope of the sniper rifle is not separated from the barrel, and the aiming has been calibrated in advance, there is no need to re-calibrate after reassembly."

Liang Xidao: "The first question is how to grasp the precise time? What if there is an accident? For example, Xiao An stops the mysterious person, such as Xiao An walks with the mysterious person. Conversation is uncontrollable, and Xiao An's on-the-spot emotions are also uncontrollable. How can we ensure that the female reporter's husband only sees Xiao An when he opens the scope and doesn't see the mysterious man?"

"Backup plan?" After Liang Xi explained, Ke Lante also felt that something was wrong.

Liang Xi said: "My far-fetched explanation is that a bomb was installed, and if something unexpected happened, the female reporter's husband would be silenced. But I followed with a bigger question, why should the female reporter's husband pull the trigger? The husband of the female reporter creates a double? Is it so troublesome? Since there is an insider who should invite Xiao An to the rooftop, can't we arrange other snipers?"

Liang Xi said: "The second question was dictated by the female reporter's husband. He waited outside the power distribution room for about a minute and only entered the door when he heard an order from the headset. I'm curious, why? Don't you worry about people passing by? This is a hotel. Can't you go in and wait? The power distribution room also needs to install a mouth bomb? And put a sniper rifle in advance, so you're not afraid of being discovered?"

Liang Xi said: "To sum up, what the female reporter's husband said is true, but it is not logical. He explained that the people behind the scenes planned very carefully, so meticulous that there is no room for error. I don't understand this."

Ke Lante replied: "There must be a purpose in doing things, and there must be a more important purpose in doing troublesome things. Drinking water is very simple, drinking coffee is more troublesome, and wanting to drink coffee cannot be simple. In addition, I also have doubts. The alibi, but why is there no sincerity? Not to mention whether the police can fool it, the Kefu family will never believe such a perfunctory alibi. What is the significance of the alibi?"

"Cover up the truth?"

"What's the truth?" Seeing Liang Xi pondering, Ke Lante said, "There is only one possible reason for the people behind the scenes to make such an arrangement: blame."

Liang Xi said: "The female reporter's husband doesn't care about being blamed. He is already mentally prepared to go to jail. Otherwise, he can't shoot."

"Yeah." Ke Lante agreed, since the female reporter's husband is willing to shoot, the blame is his, so why talk about taking the blame?

Liang Xi rubbed his hands and thought for a long time: "Unless we want to cover up the truth. Can we expand our thinking, the only witness is the female reporter's husband, right?"

Ke Lante didn't understand: "And then?"

Liang Xi said: "Is it possible that someone behind the scenes misled the female reporter's husband? He is the murderer, and at the same time he was misled."

Ke Lante pondered, what Liang Xi said was not very clear, he didn't turn the corner.

Liang Xi said more and more vigorously: "The location of the female reporter's husband is not a power distribution room at all, but a disguised power distribution room. The person he saw was not Xiao An. He thought Xiao An was alone, with his back turned to him. He also specifically said Xiao An's The action seems to be that someone has left, and Xiaoan is facing that person, trying to keep someone back."

Ke Lante interrupted: "The female reporter's husband is a veteran, and it is impossible to fool him with blank bullets. If he didn't shoot Xiao An, then who did he shoot?"

Liang Xi said: "You forgot, the mysterious man told the female reporter's husband on the phone that the sights have been adjusted, and you also explained that some firearms can be shot directly. The female reporter's husband missed the shot, and the target fell down."

Ke Lante thought for a while and asked, "What is the purpose?"

Liang Xidao: "The purpose is to let the female reporter's husband prove that Xiao An was the only one on the rooftop at that time. You think, the Kefu family may not trouble the female reporter's husband, but they will definitely investigate the truth. If the female reporter If the husband doesn't cooperate, he will definitely be violent. In the end, the female reporter's husband explained that he only saw Xiaoan."

Currant added: "There were actually two people on the roof."

Liang Xi agreed: "Otherwise, the timing is too delicate. To prove this, the female reporter's husband needs to explain the walking track that day, and then compare the layout of the hotel where he is staying, and check whether the power distribution room he went to can be directly seen. rooftop."

The police found a gunpowder smoke reaction in the power distribution room on the 27th floor of the hotel. The location of the power distribution room overlooks the upper left corner of the roof of Xiao'an Building.To prove whether Liang Xi's conjecture is right or wrong, one cannot draw conclusions based on the power distribution room, but must draw conclusions based on the trajectory of the female reporter's husband.

Ke Lante encouraged: "Go and call, it's your credit."

Liang Xi stood up with a smile, punched Ke Lante and left the room to the meeting room.In the meeting room, Liang Xi communicated with Hannah and asked Hannah to check her guess.Hannah was quite hesitant. It was not that easy to communicate with the female reporter's husband, unless there was direct violence.Liang Xi reminded Hannah: You can tell the other party that he may not have killed anyone, and by the way, threaten his father-in-law.Prior to this, the sign and guidelines for the power distribution room on the 27th floor must be removed.

Hannah replied, "It will take a while."

Liang Xi: "I have time."

Hannah asked, "If you're right, then..."

Liang Xi said: "Then everyone's investigation may be in the wrong direction, maybe the murderer has blood splattered by Xiao An." There are too many people, and it is impossible for the police to confiscate everyone's clothes.And the other party has 20 minutes to clean.Although the Hannah investigation team can ask them to hand over their clothes, it will be many days later.

Liang Xi said: "Attention, special reminder, if my speculation is correct, it means that the behind-the-scenes people deliberately keep the female reporter's husband. Logically speaking, if the police cannot convict the female reporter's husband, you will definitely find a way Capture him, extract and interrogate him, and look for useful information. Afterwards, you must silence him. Therefore, you will come to a conclusion: everything he saw is the truth. I speculate that this is the purpose of the people behind the scenes."

Hannah: "Okay. May I ask why the people behind the scenes want to convey a false impression to us?" The attitude is getting more and more polite. If Liang Xi is proved to be right, it is estimated that Liang Xi will become Mr. Liang in the future.

Liang Xi said: "It means that Xiaoan met someone on the rooftop, or what he did, which has a specific meaning. By the way, the idea is Bobby's, and I analyzed his idea in depth." I almost forgot that someone copied homework .

Hannah: "Okay, we'll get back in touch."

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Liang Xi received an internal call and asked Liang Xi to answer the call in the meeting room.Hannah told Liang Xi that his guess was correct.The husband of the female reporter did not go to the real power distribution room that day, but the equipment room of the engineering department.Simply put, it is a small room where daily possible damage items such as light bulbs and faucets are placed, as well as tools.There is one such equipment room every seventh floor.This equipment room is locked, and only the engineering department has the key. Because the location is remote, almost no one will pass by here.

What the equipment room saw was not Xiao'an Building, but another [-]-story building with a slightly different structure.The husband of the female reporter made a very positive judgment after seeing the photos. When he was shooting, the rooftop where Xiaoan was located was not the rooftop of Xiaoan Building.

Liang Xi and Hannah had a deep chat for a while, and found that a mistake made by the people behind the scenes happened by accident.According to normal logic, the Kefu family will definitely kidnap the husband of the female reporter for questioning, and most likely kill her.One is revenge, and the other is silence.After all, to the Kefu family, the husband of the female reporter is just a small ant.But Xiaoan's grandfather, who is also the head of Hannah's big family, vetoed this proposal.

Grandpa Xiao An believes that it is human nature for a female reporter's husband to avenge his wife. The reason why this happened is because Xiao An's actions deviated from the minimum requirements of being a quasi-patriarch, and even killed people.Such a person becoming the patriarch of the Kefu family may cause great harm to the family in the future.Xiao An, who is most likely to become the patriarch, doesn't know restraint at all, has no self-control, and thinks he can cover the sky with one hand.Therefore, Grandpa Xiao An met the husband of the female reporter in person. The husband of the female reporter expressed sympathy for Grandpa Xiao An's grief, expressed his apologies to Grandpa Xiao An, and explained that he had to do it.

Because of Grandpa Xiao An, the husband of the female reporter was left alive.The behind-the-scenes people probably didn't know that the female reporter's husband had informed the Kefu family of the incident.

After having an in-depth chat with Hannah to understand the situation, Liang Xi guessed why Hannah and the others resolutely refused to explain Xiaoan's situation.In all likelihood, Ann is not Hannah's nephew, but Hannah's younger brother.Xiao An is actually the son of Grandpa Xiao An.Because the youngest son and his wife passed away, after some operations, Xiao An was arranged as the youngest son's orphan.

Liang Xi would not go to verify her guess, and even if Hannah knew that Liang Xi had guessed Xiao An's identity, she would not reveal it.After Hanna explained to Liang Xi, Liang Xi agreed to disclose the progress of the case to everyone.The Blood Moon invitation this time was not a competition, and of course there was no request for cooperation. At the same time, it did not specify the amount and distribution method of the bonus.

After hanging up Hannah's phone, Liang Xi rang the bell in the meeting room, inviting everyone to gather in the meeting room.

The guests came very quickly. After they were seated, Liang Xi did not exchange polite greetings, explaining that with the help of himself, Ke Lante and Bobby, he had discovered some information about the case, and had asked the Kefu family for verification.Liang Xi used the writing board in the meeting room to draw pictures to explain the whole thing.The people behind the scenes help the female reporter's husband in order to mislead others and create false appearances.Who exactly did you meet with Xiaoan?It is still unclear what the situation is, and everyone needs to work hard to find the answer.

Chapter 491 Ten Days (Nine)

After Liang Xi finished speaking, many guests thoughtfully left and hurried back to their own rooms. Liang Xi's discovery may have answered some of their questions.The rest are Chris, Poppy and Fanny, three rookies.Bobby asked with his big eyes swollen: "Then what is the information I read for a day?"

Liang Xi asked curiously: "What information did you read for a day? Princess Huahua?"

Bobby said speechlessly: "Xiao An's phone call records before his death, uncle and cousin."

Liang Xi remembered, and said, "Don't look at it."

Sometimes there are really reasons for fighting, and ordinary people can't stand it.But today it was not successful, mainly because the environment was not good.They are all tables and chairs, if they bump into each other, neither of them can bear it.And Liang Xi reminded: "I have hung your name."

Well, this step is fine, Bobby said: "I forgive you for now. What's the next step?"

Liang Xi said: "I don't have any specific ideas yet. I think we'll work it out tomorrow morning."

"Me?" Bobby was a little flattered, you didn't look for Ke Lante, but me?

Liang Xi nodded: "Yes, I hardly read the materials, didn't you read the materials for a day?"

Can this be tolerated?Bobby couldn't stand it even if he had to turn over a row of seats. Fanny pressed Bobby's shoulder and pushed Bobby who was half standing back to his position. Fanny asked, "Can I come together? I also read some materials. "

"Yes." Liang Xi looked at Chris: "Together?"

They can't be together, together they must be on the same starting line, and they must not be able to run past Liang Xi.Chris said: "I've made an appointment with Kelante to handle the case together tomorrow, and I'll see you later, and we'll collect information together." He was too witty to eat two.

Liang Xi said: "Chris, don't listen too much to Thresh. He is a bastard. You treat him with your sincerity, but what you get in return is his hypocritical deceit. I think Thresh's plan is okay, I don’t have a high IQ, and I’m very arrogant, so I can deal with it by prevaricating and perfunctory.”

Chris was embarrassed: "Okay, I promise him."

Liang Xi couldn't say anything after hearing this: "You decide for yourself, a gentleman can't deal with a villain."

You are a villain, you are an asshole, and your whole family is both a villain and an asshole.Your IQ is low, and your family's IQ is low.Chris Thresh, who was scolded for a while, had to nod in cooperation to show that he understood.

……

At six o'clock the next morning, Anthony was busy in the kitchen alone, and he prepared three kinds of breakfast for everyone.To Liang Xi's surprise, there is also an Asian-style lean meat porridge for breakfast.Liang Xi added ingredients to make half a claypot porridge.As a result, the porridge was warmly welcomed by everyone.For those who are tired of eating bread, coffee, and sandwiches, claypot porridge brings them a different taste bud experience.

Anthony asked Liang Xi for his opinion on lunch, and he could tell that Liang Xi was the best cook among the eight.Liang Xi considered that it would be hard for Anthony to manage alone, so he proposed to eat hot pot.Just wash the dishes.The hotpot ingredients and dipping sauces are prepared by Liang Xilai.

After the harmonious breakfast ended, Fanny changed her decision to handle the case together and stayed to help Anthony wash the dishes. It seemed that Fanny had given up on Liang Xi, her prey, and aimed at her new prey, Anthony.

In Liang Xi's room, Liang Xi said to Bobby: "The first thing, we have to list all the possibilities, all the possibilities that Xiao An will appear in the upper left corner. I read your writing."

"Why?" Bobby asked.

Liang Xi said, "You read what I wrote."

"Write together."

Each person has a writing board, and writes various possibilities while talking.To be invited, to invite others, to be distracted, to be held hostage.

Bobby said happily: "Not many, there are only four. It is basically impossible to distract and hold hostage. The possibility of inviting others is not high."

Liang Xi said: "Take notes. According to the notes of the female reporter's husband, Bobby will only appear on the rooftop if he is invited. We have confirmed that the people behind the scenes used the dictation of the female reporter's husband to make false testimony. Simply put It is said that the behind-the-scenes people want us to believe that what the female reporter’s husband saw is true. Since the behind-the-scenes people want us to believe that Xiao An was invited to the rooftop, if we think about it in reverse, we can rule out that Xiao An was invited to the rooftop.”

Bobby disagreed: "Maybe the people behind the scenes just want to protect the information of the person who invited Xiao An?"

Liang Xi said: "Don't you understand yet? In order to protect the person who invited Xiao An, just send a sniper to kill Xiao An directly. Why do you need the female reporter's husband to play tricks? My investigation direction is that Xiao An invited others, and Xiao An went to the rooftop to relax , Xiaoan was taken hostage to the rooftop. Among the three possibilities, only Xiaoan was taken hostage to the rooftop to control the time. The villains used guns to force Xiaoan to the upper left corner of the rooftop, and when the time came, hidden snipers killed Xiaoan.”

Liang Xidao: "There were four homicides in three European countries within 10 minutes. For the time being, I suspect that only one was committed by the Orphan Association, and the other three were blamed on the Orphan Association by people behind the scenes. If only Xiaoan was killed, it is impossible to contact the Orphan Association. Assassinated. In the end, three people were killed, and all four of them except Xiao An had a certain relationship with Shengqi." Shengqi killed Menghaika, and the Orphan Association wanted revenge for the person who killed Shengqi.

Liang Xidao: "Basically, it can be said that the person behind the scenes has a lot of energy. It can be said that he has the ability to control the overall situation. We can't find him in this case, and it's best not to find him. But we can find out who caused Xiaoan to go to the rooftop. People. Why Xiao An? Is it just to anger the Kefu family or the Hannah family? Is there no other special meaning? I don’t think so, I always think there is enmity, personal or public enmity.”
