fog city detective

Liang Xi called: "Captain Liu, warehouse 503."

Liu Zhen: "Received."

Liang Xi asked, "Can it be done?"

Liu Zhen replied: "We are a fan squad, and a non-residential search warrant is just a matter of sentence. But if I miss out many times, the judge may not be so easy to talk about."

Liang Xi smiled: "Try luck."

Liu Zhen also laughed: "Until there is one encounter with no luck." After catching Wang Shuang and alcoholic, Liu Zhen couldn't think of a reason for not believing in Liang Xi.

……

Mark picked up the walkie-talkie, paused for a long time, and said: "Notify the action team, received a tip: there are bombs installed by terrorists in the distribution warehouse, we need to block the warehouse immediately and evacuate all the civilians in the warehouse. Take our things away and send them to 2 Number location." After speaking, he threw the walkie-talkie away and leaned against the door in a quiet daze.

Karin didn't know what to say, and being forced to set off a false alarm made her quite frustrated.It is because of her incompetence that the Dune project is on the verge of bankruptcy.

A voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Boss, Liu Zhen from the Fan Suppression Team has obtained a 503 search warrant, and they will soon arrive at the distribution warehouse."

Mark took the walkie-talkie: "Drove directly, revealed your identity, and said that MI5 has taken over the warehouse."

Intercom: "Are you sure?"

Mark was furious: "I'm not sure what to do? Waiting for the fan-hunting team to dig out everything? Go quickly."

There was silence in the car, and Karin spoke first: "I'm sorry, it's my incompetence."

Mark said, "Don't worry about Liang Xi. Tomorrow is Mary's birthday. I can take the opportunity to meet him."

……

Two plainclothes officers rushed into the warehouse with their IDs and asked everyone to evacuate the warehouse area on the grounds of terrorism.Their companions arrived later and watched Liu Zhen's team.Liu Zhen said that his team could help, but MI5 thanked Liu Zhen for his cooperation and kindness, and insisted on asking Liu Zhen and the others to leave.

When MI5 entered, Yuan Wang and Bobby had no choice but to evacuate. Bobby got on Liang Xi's Beetle, and Liang Xi was very dissatisfied: "Unlucky! The stocker turned out to be MI5."

Instead, Bobby comforted Liang Xi: "Don't you think it's fun? We forced MI5 to clean up the mess."

"You are joking, MI5 dare not touch you. I am a civilian who can accidentally disappear." Liang Xi parked the car and rolled down the window: "Officer, can I have a word?"

When the man saw Liang Xi, he knew that he was the culprit in this chaos, and waved: "Go, go, go now, right away."

Liang Xi said, "Aren't you going to call a fire truck and an ambulance?"

The man was startled, watched Liang Xi's car go away, and made a phone call: "Boss, Liang Xi told me, let's call the fire truck and ambulance."

Mark was insulted, gave Karin a deep look, and said, "Contact the ambulance and fire truck."

Inside the Beetle, Poppy asked, "You didn't mean to laugh at him, did you?"

Liang Xi nodded: "I just want to tell them that someone has an idea to call 503. But he has a bad attitude and no bonus, and I don't want to be too busy. Hello!" Liang Xi answered the phone.

Liu Zhen said: "You are amazing, you can dig out all the bombs of terror."

Liang Xi was a little speechless, and said, "I don't know what I dug, only I know there is something. Fortunately, you didn't go in."

Seeing that Liang Xi was so naive, Liu Zhen said, "Liang Xi, I registered you as an informant. If you commit an accident in the future, the law enforcement agency knows that you are an informant and will definitely contact me."

Liang Xi said: "Captain Liu, MI5 is going to trouble me, you can't handle it."

Liu Zhen: "Do you know it's MI5?"

Liang Xi sighed: "I just found out it's MI5."

Liu Zhen comforted: "After all, MI5 is a domestic institution, and I dare not be too unreasonable to civilians. I know some people in the judiciary. If you need it, please call me directly."

Liang Xi said, "Captain Liu, that's interesting."

Liu Zhen smiled and said, "We also expect you to take your chances."

Liang Xi laughed loudly: "Haha, I'll invite everyone to dinner when I look back. I'll let you all run away for nothing."

Liu Zhen said: "Don't say these polite words between us. I'll hang up first, and I'll contact you another day."

Liang Xi: "Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Liang Xi hung up the phone and glanced at Poppy in the co-pilot seat. Poppy sensed danger and immediately said, "I want to get out of the car."

Liang Xi smiled evilly: "Golden Man, it's your turn to appear."

……

Poppy's bodyguard is very professional and good. After hearing Poppy's request, he led the Beetle to the side.A bodyguard brought Poppy a gas mask-looking voice changer from the trunk.A bodyguard hands Poppy a satellite phone.After teaching Poppy and Liang Xi how to use it, they stood around with other bodyguards on guard, without a word of nonsense during the period.

Liu Zhen looked at the phone, it was a secret number, and answered the phone: "Hello?"

Poppy was very nervous and tried to keep calm: "Liu Zhen, Captain Liu, I'm the golden man."

Liang Xi couldn't help covering his face, even now, even if he was the initiator, he was still ashamed to know the golden man.

Liu Zhen: "Huh?"

"MI5 is transferring a batch of goods from the distribution warehouse, but they don't know that the goods are being targeted..." Bobby asked for help and looked at Liang Xi, what should he say next?

Liang Xi took over the voice changer, and said: "The bad guys don't know the exact location of the goods. This transfer will inevitably expose the storage location of the goods. I expect the bad guys will take action on this batch of goods again within 72 hours. The best way is Captain Liu." You lead people to ambush near the goods, and one person will get all the stolen goods. With the equipment of the anti-fan team, you can completely avoid the eyes and ears of MI5 and conduct independent surveillance. Captain Liu, you can also tell MI5 the information, but from the performance of MI5 in the warehouse Look, they don't want others to know about this shipment. At the same time, I don't know how Captain Liu is going to explain Blonde."

Liu Zhen asked, "Who are you?"

Liang Xi: "Golden man! From what I know about Captain Liu, you don't care about having a little manpower to monitor the goods. I only have one request. After you successfully catch the bad guy, fill in the name of the informant who provided the tip in the dossier: Blonde Xia." After speaking, Liang Xi hung up the phone.

Chapter 53 Gifts

Poppy asked, "Are you sure Liu Zhen will monitor the goods?"

Liang Xi said: "She is a smart and good policeman."

Poppy didn't understand: "What reason is this?"

Liang Xi said: "It's useless to explain. I suddenly remembered that the weekend is Mary's birthday. I have to buy a birthday present. You can get off the bus."

Poppy was dissatisfied: "Hey, I spent a lot of pounds renting a bunch of warehouses, and I used the golden man to warn the police. You at least have to answer my questions, right?"

Liang Xi disagreed: "You spent money, but you gained happiness. I didn't earn a penny, and I didn't have much happiness. I have to explain it to you?"

Bobby pointed at Liang Xi and asked, "How about I celebrate Mary's birthday with you?"

Liang Xi wondered and asked, "You would rather deduct my salary and not even reimburse the gas money. Why are you so generous to others?"

Bobby asked back: "Suppose that after you have [-] pounds, I invite you to go to the haunted house, will you go?"

Liang Xi thought for a while: "It's not about money, it's mainly about something that day."

Bobby said: "Only if you are poor, will you accompany me on a haunted house adventure for 100 or [-] pounds."

Liang Xi was surprised: "You kid has some brains."

Poppy was dissatisfied with Liang Xi's evaluation and said: "Our Clement family has been in business for generations, and we have the talent to control talents."

Liang Xi said: "What do you mean: I don't want to live a good life with you."

Poppy laughed and said, "Of course not. Maybe I can give you the right to use a mansion in a few days."

What the hell!I can't see that this guy is so sinister.On the surface, it seems that Bobby is kind-hearted and gave a luxury house to himself, but the key is that you only have the right to use it, you can't sell it, and at the same time, people can take the house back at any time if they are unhappy.Do you want to live in an apartment or a mansion?Of course a mansion.After you get used to living in a mansion, do you agree to Bobby asking too much?In order to live in a luxury house, there is no problem with occasional grievances.Then Poppy will test the bottom line step by step to bully himself.After he was conquered, he was bored and turned to find new toys.His mansion, famous car, etc. will be taken back by him.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once you get used to the rich life and have a life circle of rich life, it is equivalent to handing over your destiny to Bobby.How is this different from the devil's deal?Blonde Poppy?Might as well be called Bobby the little devil.

Liang Xi hit the middle finger: "Go away." John famously said: stay away from those who have the ability to control you.

Poppy asked, "You mean you don't want me to be at Mary's birthday party? Just because you don't want to explain the ins and outs to me."

Liang Xi looked at Bobby for a while, and said helplessly: "Suppose Liu Zhen contacts MI5, she will face an extremely complicated situation. Assuming the goods have not been attacked or stolen, then Liu Zhen said that the information given to him by the blonde man will let her It has become a joke in the industry. Assuming the goods are attacked, MI5 will definitely trouble Liu Zhen again, conduct an internal investigation on her, even suspect that she communicated with the bad guys, and deliberately warn the goods to move the goods again. Even if Liu Zhen is believed, MI5 will still ask Call, let Liu Zhen provide detailed clues as much as possible. At the same time, regardless of whether the goods have been attacked or not, MI5 does not want anyone to pay attention to the goods. Liu Zhen contacting MI5 may cause internal conflicts, and then investigate Liu Zhen. "

Liang Xi said: "Liu is really a smart person. She knows what troubles will arise after contacting MI5. She can't be sure that the blonde is real or not, but she can't turn a blind eye to the fact that she can hide the caller number, change her voice, and call her directly. Otherwise, once MI5 If the goods are really lost, she will be dereliction of duty. Liu is really a good policeman and a smart person. So she will know that the best option is to use a small amount of resources to monitor the goods. If there are bad guys attacking the goods, she can stop the bad guys. .If there were no bad guys attacking the goods, she would not get involved in this matter. Even if she was discovered by MI5 during surveillance, she could use the blond man’s tip as an explanation. Explain that she didn’t believe blond man’s words, but she didn’t dare Take it lightly, so send someone to monitor it."

Liang Xidao: "So it is her best practice for Liu Zhen to monitor the goods for 72 hours."

Poppy asked, "What if Liu Zhen wasn't smart?"

Liang Xidao: "I don't like people who are not smart. Smart people always have traces to follow, and they will make the best and best actions because of their interests. Ordinary people sometimes don't think too much, or don't understand things comprehensively. , they are prone to sub-optimal or bad behavior. Without being able to predict the behavior of the other party, they naturally lack a certain advantage.”

Poppy asked, "You didn't plan to say it originally, but after Liu Zhen expressed his concern for you, you decided to give the clue to Liu Zhen."

Liang Xi nodded: "People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet. If you are willing to increase my daily salary to [-] pounds, I will pay you [-] pounds to hire you in the future."

Poppy ignored the topic completely, opened the car door, and asked, "Saturday night? Tomorrow night?"

Liang Xi: "Seven o'clock in the evening."

Poppy: "Location."

Liang Xi said, "Mary's house." Where else can I go?

Bobby nodded, got into the bodyguard car and called his housekeeper: "Help me buy a trained Golden Rado, suitable for a single 65-year-old lady to keep. I will order a five-year service package, which will be handled regularly by full-time staff. Dog's hygiene, medical examination, grooming and other issues. This is an important birthday present, don't embarrass me." Kinrado is rare in other countries, but is a relatively common guide dog breed in the UK.It is a cross between a golden retriever and a labrador.

Mixed breed dogs will have many advantages, but also some disadvantages, Bobby wants to buy a gold rado with as many advantages as possible and as few disadvantages as possible.As for the price is the last factor he needs to consider.

Bobby is well aware that a dog for companionship and protection is arguably the best gift for an elderly lady who has lost her husband.Liang Xi also considered raising a dog, but the post-care and maintenance of the dog takes a lot of energy, time and money.The main reason is that Liang Xi's net worth cannot afford a better young functional dog that has completed training.

Liang Xi didn't know what gift Poppy would give, but he knew it must be a gift that he couldn't afford.Poppy does some reflection as he drives back to the apartment.He had to admit that he underestimated Poppy before, because Poppy was not only untalented in the field of ghost detectives, but also an idiot.But today's conversation with Poppy he discovered that Poppy has a very good talent that he does not have.

This is still a loafing, idle Bobby.If it is a diligent and motivated Poppy, there must be a place for him in the management of the Clement family.This not only made Liang Xi think of the reason for Bobby's mental illness.However, the information is asymmetric. Liang Xi doesn't even know the basic structure of the Clement family and how many siblings Bobby has. Naturally, it is impossible to infer.

Chapter 54 Birthday

This is Mary's first birthday after John left Mary. Early in the morning, the flower shop delivered the holiday flowers that John had ordered every ten years before his death. The festivals included Valentine's Day, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, etc.

Although the greeting card on the flowers made Mary sad, it seemed to tell Mary that John had never left her, and that this gift brought her a sense of happiness beyond the comprehension of reason.

Liang Xi went to Mary's house early in the morning to prepare breakfast. In fact, it was breakfast, because Mary couldn't eat the food Liang Xi tossed.Liang Si served tea and sat in the front yard with Mary in memory of John.Mary began to talk about Liang Xi's many times, or the first time she heard about her and John's past.There are tears in the smile, and the memories are full of happiness.

A van parked in front of Mary's house, and someone from the pet store had brought Poppy's birthday present: ginrado.Mary fell in love with Jin Rado when she saw it. The trained Jin Rado was very smart and knew that this old grandmother was her new owner, and was very friendly to Mary.The staff of the pet store explained and explained some things, mainly Jin Rado's regular medical examination time.

At Mary's insistence, the kennel was placed in the living room. When the staff was busy installing the kennel, Mary couldn't wait to lead Jinrado to the street.Liang Xi asked about the price, and the staff told Liang Xi that the dog was sent to London by a special plane from the Northern Ireland Dog Training School, and they did not know how much it cost.All they know is that the price of the kennel is three thousand pounds.

In addition to the dog and the kennel, they also brought a small refrigerator dedicated to preserving the food of Jin Rado, who ate more pounds in one meal than Liang Xi had in three days.Forget it, Jin Rado still has accident insurance and medical insurance.Liang Xi didn't want to listen to the fact that people are inferior to dogs, and let the staff busy themselves and focus on making birthday cakes.

Under the guidance of Mary, Liang Xiting would toss the West Point.It is a pity that Liang Xi lacks the delicateness and patience that a pastry chef must have. The appearance of the products he makes looks rough, and whether the taste is good or bad depends on luck in many cases.For example, in today's three-layer birthday cake, it is obvious with the naked eye that the layers are uneven and the thickness is different. Liang Xi felt that the cream could not be seen.However, the cream seemed to be overdone, so he could only pour it out and beat it again. Liang Xi really didn't want to stand in front of the egg beater and wait boredly.

So the cream had to be beaten again.

After tossing the birthday cake, it was already lunchtime when Mary brought Jin Rado home.This was because she was worried about Liang Xi's skill in frying steaks, and Mary came back. She and Jin Rado had fun this morning.

After chatting over lunch, Mary told Liang Xi: "The community wants to set up baking courses, and the tuition fees will be deducted as donations to help those in need. Do you think I can go?"

Liang Xi replied: "It depends on the time of the course."

Mary said: "From 200:[-] to [-]:[-] on Friday night, it is next to the community supermarket [-] meters away. A few days ago, people from the community came to me and told me about it. I was worried that I was not capable enough. Did not agree."

Liang Xi said: "You must be capable. Baking classes should be very popular. For many people, not only can they learn things, but also a leisure and social opportunity. I think there should be many people who sign up. I support you."

Mary said, "Then I will agree."

Liang Xi nodded.

Mary chatted, "I'm going to change a cell phone, the old cell phone always eats."

"Oh?" Liang Xi reached out and took Mary's mobile phone and pointed it at Mary. Mary grinned and unlocked it successfully. Liang Xi smiled and said, "We are still so tacit."

Liang Xi checked the mobile phone and found no program running in the background: "If you don't like it, change it. I will save the phone number of the pet store first, and then export it to the outside of the card. The next time I change my phone, I can import the address book from the card back to the phone. Inside."

Liang Xi opened the address book, which contained Mary's acquaintances and friends, as well as business-related people, such as banks and insurance companies.While operating, Liang Xi casually asked, "Who is this Manda?" Mary is not very good at using smartphones.Even when John was alive, Liang Xi often helped Mary operate the phone, install and uninstall software, register accounts, etc.Because Mary was always inaccurate about the English letters and numbers on the keypad, Liang Xi even recorded the address book one by one.

Mary paused and asked, "What Manda?"

Liang Xi didn't seem to care, and changed the subject and asked, "This phone has been used for two years, will it be used now?"

Mary was a little annoyed: "There are too many functions, too complicated. I don't use this function, and there are always people who enthusiastically teach me how to use this function. I still like the original flip machine."

Liang Xi took a picture of Mary's mobile phone screen with his mobile phone, and returned the phone to Mary: "OK, the address book is saved, I will pay attention to the mobile phone brand online these days."

It is difficult for Mary to record the address book herself, and she does not know who the person named Manda is. Combined with Mary's Caton situation, Liang Xi believes that Mary's mobile phone is likely to be monitored.This monitoring is not an official means of monitoring. The official can obtain user information directly through the service provider without leaving the Manda address book.

When an unfamiliar phone number appears in the address book and the phone freezes, it may be because the phone is being monitored.Not just wiretap phone calls, but get all text messages and social software communications.In addition, the monitor can use your mobile phone number to make calls, and the cost of the call is borne by you.

Mary did not report hearing the sound of electric current and the mobile phone stuck, indicating that the level of the monitor is relatively high.Why would anyone monitor an old lady?Liang Xi believed that it should have something to do with John's death.But Liang Xi didn't know about cell phone communication, computer hacking and other related knowledge. He couldn't determine the real situation, and he couldn't know who was monitoring Mary's cell phone.

Looking for Liu Zhen's help?Liu Zhen has technicians, but they are general technicians at work, not Liu Zhen's own dedicated technicians.As a police officer, Liu Zhen has basic curiosity, while Liang Xi does not want too many people to know about this.There is only one way to find Helen.Helen is a policewoman Liang Xi met during the hostage incident at Maria Hospital, and she is secretly investigating John's death.Helen is also Liang Xi's only trusted ally in the investigation of John's death.

However, Helen is a Crisis Incident Response Team agent with limited authority and resources.Asking Helen to find a way to track down Manda's call may cause trouble for Helen.It's not that Helen looks down on Helen, Helen doesn't seem to have too many clever ideas and tricks.Doing bad things definitely requires going the wrong way, and magnanimous theft is robbery.

I can only think of a way, but I hate that the resources that I can use are too few.
