fog city detective

Saran explained: "Amy works in a pet hospital. There is no pottery near the pet hospital."

Liang Xi said: "Amy stopped by the romantic pottery bar, but had a hamburger for dinner... Saran, list all the pottery bars in Reading or places related to ceramics, and list their tax declaration materials, shop owners, employer information, Check out all the information that can be found in the database first.”

Saran said: "But Consultant Liang, the technical department has not made an appraisal of the porcelain clay."

Liang Xi said: "Since there are no more clues, we have to use the first principle: idle is idle, anyway, I am not the one running errands. I am very busy, Bobby should vomit a lot, as a friend, I should take good care of him." For his body, take him to have morning tea to clear his stomach."

The medical examiner reminded: "I don't think your friend will have an appetite today."

Liang Xi smiled and said, "I know." Even if he didn't have the chance to bully Bobby, Liang Xi didn't like tedious investigations.

……

Britain has morning tea, afternoon tea, and even evening tea.However, compared with Hong Kong's tea, British tea clubs are far less rich in dim sum than Cantonese morning tea. British tea dim sum mainly consists of baked biscuits, cakes and desserts.Drinking a can of Coke in the Chinese circle feels that it is seriously harmful to health, but in fact, Europeans and Americans eat much more sugar than Chinese.Such as toothless blueberry pie, apple pie, etc. are normal foods for Europeans and Americans.

The most interesting is the Chinese mothers, they do not want their children to eat sugar, do not want their children to drink Coke, and ask their children to have as little exposure to sugary foods as possible.But they ask their children to eat more, but they don't know that rice is really high in sugar.

Facing the exquisite Cantonese morning tea dim sum, Bobby knew what Liang Xi wanted to do, he pretended not to care, tried to forget everything he saw just now, picked up the dim sum as if nothing had happened, and ate slowly.After the food fell down, the stomach twitched unconsciously, Bobby endured it, took a sip of tea and suppressed it.

"Is it interesting?" Bobby couldn't help asking, watching Liang Xi knead the glutinous rice chicken, knead it into a disgusting shape, and then peel it off.

Liang Xi replied: "Interesting. I'm looking for someone to observe us. Yesterday we found the Aite couple. I believe Colonel Marr can't understand. He can't be sure how much information the police have. He needs information, and he may target me. Next door is an English breakfast restaurant, mostly Caucasian. This is a Cantonese restaurant, and every table has at least one Chinese face.” Although Reading is a town, it also has a population of 15. Chinese restaurant.

Bobby understood: "If there are no Chinese, it means that the other party is suspicious."

Liang Xi nodded: "Although the preliminary screening method does not rule out all possibilities, there is at least one basis and standard. Logically speaking, I think Colonel Marr should send someone to approach me. After all, I am a detective, and I am a special agent of the Anti-Terrorism Office. Consultant. I was thinking about whether to ask Saran to follow Juliet to make a surprise attack, to see if I can scare the snake away. But I also thought that the other party should not fall twice in the same pit, and Isha specially warned, so forget it. "

The bodyguards were sitting at a nearby table, and Liang Xi greeted them, "Give me the char siew."

The head of the bodyguard came over with the char siew, put it in front of Liang Xi, looked at the food on their table for a while, shook his head and left.This stunned Bobby.If you want char siew, won't you take it?Wouldn't you take something if you wanted to eat?What are you looking at?I'm a rich man, it's embarrassing for you to do this.

Liang Xi changed the subject and asked, "Is your father planning to introduce a wife to you?"

Bobby said: "My father would not introduce a wife to me. In his opinion, it is too immoral. Someone should have contacted my father. This person has a high status. My father passed on this to me, and I can choose by myself."

Liang Xi asked curiously: "If you die, your mother has the right to inherit. It is clearly written in your will? Besides, after your father inherits, it cannot be passed on to your brothers and sisters? Your brothers and sisters are all partial mothers."

Bobby said: "According to my father's request, I froze the gold. Even if I die, he will take care of the descendants."

Liang Xi was taken aback: "It sounds like your family has no human touch."

Bobby said: "Our task is to let the family pass on, not let the family annex the family. The main problem is also me. I should have married and had children, looked for women outside, and had more illegitimate children to maintain the inheritance of the family. But I don't want to, but I am the head of the family, haha!"

Liang Xi sighed: "Your grandfather is really blind."

"Want to fight?" Poppy asked angrily.

Liang Xi picked up the glutinous rice chicken with his left hand and stuffed his mouth. The beige soup smeared his mouth, and Bobby's stomach twitched again for no reason.Liang Xi took out a tissue and wiped his mouth in satisfaction: "The art of war is at the highest level, you can defeat others without standing still."

Liang Xi thoughtfully, looked at the chief bodyguard, stood up, walked over, and took away the potstickers: "If you don't eat them, I'll take them away."

Bobby stared dumbfounded at Liang Xi's return, and then watched the head of the bodyguard walk over and walk away with Nuomiji. Just as he was about to ask a question, the head of the bodyguard turned his head and gestured.The chief bodyguard unbuttoned his suit, took out a scanner-like thing from inside, and scanned it across the table and under the table, with only a slight vibration.

The chief bodyguard looked at the French windows, supported the table with one hand, and stretched out the scanner with the other. The scanner hummed.The bodyguard drew his gun and pointed it at a small yellow bee on the edge of the glass.The little bee didn't move very much, and was turning its head up and down from side to side, but no danger was coming.At this time, a hand appeared from outside the glass and pinched the little bee. Bobby looked up and saw Pique.

Pique kneaded the bee in his hand twice, and nodded to the bodyguard to indicate that he was right.Pick stood by the window and looked around. The restaurant was in the bustling part of the town, next to a crossroad.There are vehicles passing by on the road non-stop, and there are also cars parked by the side of the road. Pedestrians are either talking and laughing with their companions, or walking fast, and it is impossible to see who is controlling the electronic bee.

Bobby was very dissatisfied after seeing it clearly: "When did you plan it? Why didn't I know?"

The chief bodyguard explained: "Mr. Liang said that someone might monitor and listen to him, let us pay more attention." He gestured to Peake.Pete next to Peak took out a sealed bag, Peak threw the bee into the sealed bag, Pete sealed it, rolled up the sealed bag and stuffed it into the cap of the pen.

The chief bodyguard took the pager and said, "You send the things to Saran."

Pete replied, "Understood!"

The biggest family in London, the best bodyguard in London.Liang Xi believed that the deterrence they brought to Colonel Marr by catching bees was enough, enough for them to give up their line and go to the line with Saran.It is also possible to start with technology to understand what happened last night.This is why Liang Xi likes smart people. Maer is a smart person, and Maer will not talk to him anymore.Of course, I know that gold is precious, so I have to rely on Bobby today.

……

Finding clues from bees, suspicious dirt, and house debris takes time, and it takes a lot of time.As a special consultant, with an hourly salary of up to 80 pounds per hour, Liang Xi began to wonder where Davis would hide.

The most important clue is Aite's tractor truck, which only carries containers.Aite's truck was empty last night.Recalling the scene of following the Aite truck, it shows that there are ghosts in the container.People can't move the container onto the tractor, they need mechanical help.There is also a clue that when Tim was kidnapped, he was held in a converted shipping container.

There are seven large container terminals in London, in addition to shipyards and container warehouses.Going east along the Thames River from the south, it covers a very large area.Cranes that can load and unload containers abound in this area.Liang Xi looked at the map of London in his mobile phone, and for the first time found that the dock area was much bigger than he imagined.

Liang Xi thought of another piece of information: Aite works for the Reading Container Freight Company, which specializes in transporting container goods from London to Reading.When transporting goods at the port, the goods in Reading will not be sorted out and sent to a specific location.The normal operation is that after unloading, the owner of the cargo takes the voucher to the designated container storage area to get the designated container.Every time Aite goes to London to deliver goods to different places, but one thing is the same, he has to drive the truck back to the Reading Freight Company.

Every time Aite goes to London to deliver goods, he will send empty containers back to the London dock.So it was speculated that Aite's private job was to transport members of Marr's gang to and from Reading and London.Why use a van instead of a car?Because the truck can store things, live, and carry a lot of supplies.Furthermore, the general police will not open the box to check the goods, and the goods may be poured out once the box is opened.Usually the police will only check the manifest to understand the goods.

There are two types of container trucks. The first type uses a crane to place the container on the truck.The second type is a tractor, its body is very short, the container is placed on a shelf, the shelf provides rear wheels, the tractor reverses and hangs on the shelf, and pulls it away directly.The same is true for unloading, no need for a crane, just separate the shelves.

Normal working procedure: Aite gets the manifest, arrives at the container warehouse, checks the serial number on the container, and transports it to the destination with a tractor.Unload the racks and drive away.That is to say, as long as there are some manipulations in the operation, the transportation in the working procedure can be realized.For example, the target container is No. 11. Aite goes to London to designate a container warehouse. After checking the manifest, it tows the container away, drags the container to the Reading warehouse, and puts the No. 11 container aside.

The owner of the No. 11 container made a bill to the Reading Freight Company, asking them to arrange a vehicle to transport the No. 11 container to a designated location in London. Aite got the manifest and transported the No. 11 container from the Reading warehouse to London.

Try it and you won't get pregnant!

Liang Xi contacted Fiona: "Beauty, help me check, Aite's inventory for the last two weeks."

Fiona: "Wait a minute... six shipments from London to Reading and seven shipments from Reading to London, with different container numbers."

Liang Xi said: "Send me all the serial numbers..."

"Okay." Fiona asked, "Have you broken up with Karin?"

Liang Xi was speechless: "Change the subject."

Fiona: "No other conversation with you. Sending to your email."

"Thank you." Liang Xi hung up the phone and contacted Sa Lan: "Take me and let's go to the Reading Freight Company."

……

Reading Freight Company is located in the suburb of Reading Town. The scale of the company is not large, but the factory building and warehouse area are large.There are many warehouses in the plant, ranging from frozen goods warehouses to dangerous goods warehouses.Rack semi-trailer containers are usually delivered directly to the warehouse door, and the goods in the container are sent to the warehouse manually by workers or by loading and unloading trucks.Empty container semi-trailers will be towed to the designated place for placement.

Not far from the warehouse, there is an empty gravel and concrete floor, where many containers and semi-trailers are piled up.Most of them are empty, waiting for the driver to go to London to bring the container back to London. The owner of a small number of containers has no warehouse, so they can only put the goods in the container first. The freight company charges the owner a certain storage fee per day according to the standard .There is also a situation, such as a bumper potato harvest in the country, the truck will pull empty boxes to the countryside, and then pull the full truck back to Reading and place them in the parking area.When and where the goods will be taken away is the responsibility of the owner.

There was a small episode before entering the warehouse. The security guard at the warehouse gate stopped seven cars. Sarah explained that she was a policeman and wanted to go in for a walk.But even if you show your ID, it's useless.The security guard said that no one else is allowed to enter unless there is a search warrant.

Of course, if someone in the warehouse calls the police, or if the police believe that someone in the warehouse needs help, the police can enter the warehouse.

For example, two plainclothes police detectives went to talk to a suspect. They knocked on the door and no one answered. Even if they suspected that the suspect was in the house, they could not enter rashly.If the front door is not locked, just close it.Or they see broken glass and a mess in the house, so they can suspect that there is a safety problem and enter the house.

At the critical moment, Bobby came out. He contacted the boss of the Reading Freight Company through Bo's father's assistant, and the boss asked the security manager to let him go.After struggling at the door for about 10 minutes, seven cars finally drove into the warehouse.Four cars go to the warehouse area first, and three cars go to the parking area.

There are several container semi-trailers and several containers in the warehouse area, and workers are unloading or loading each container.The special police got out of the car and reported to Saran after a brief inspection: "There is no problem in the warehouse area."

There are more semi-trailers and containers in the parking area, and the stacked containers are like a castle.On the opposite side of the castle, there are more than 30 semi-trailer containers lined up.

Chapter 512 The villain's success

The on-site management personnel have received a call from the boss of the freight company, greeted Bobby and his party in person, and introduced the basic situation of the parking area to everyone.Some of the containers here belong to Reading Company, and the market price of an empty container is about [-] U.S. dollars. Apart from self-use, they can also be leased and sold.Bobby took out the container number that Liang Xi had obtained and gave it to the administrator. After checking the computer kernel, the administrator informed that there were three boxes in the parking area, all of which were half-hanging.

Speaking of which, the administrator led everyone to the semi-trailer parking area.After walking a few steps, Liang Xi called to stop: "Wait." There was a clatter, and two groups of Blue River special police officers scattered left and right touched their guns together.

Liang Xi was taken aback and looked at Lan He: What are you doing?

Blue River Special Police Captain Lan He signaled: You do what you want, ignore us.

Liang Xi stared at Lan He for three seconds, then turned his head and pointed at the security guard standing by the board room of the management office: "What's your name?"

The security guard was startled, pointed to himself, and replied, "Wallace."

Liang Xi asked, "Are you strong?"

The security guard looked at his body: "It's okay."

Liang Xi asked, "Have you ever been a soldier?"

The security nodded.

Liang Xi said: "Caught it."

Saran hurriedly stopped and asked, "Why?"

Liang Xi said: "You have 24-hour seizure rights." The answer was not the question but the essence of the answer.

Saran couldn't laugh or cry: "But it can't be abused."

Liang Xi sighed: "That's right, Juliet just woke up from a coma not long ago. Not everyone is willing to do such a dangerous thing."

"I see." Saran said, "Wallace, right? Please come with us." She glanced at Blue River.

Two Blue River special police stepped forward, one left and one right to control the very angry Wallace: "Sir, please cooperate with our work."

The administrator didn't dare to ask. From the obvious point of view, this group of people is the police.In private, the boss confessed to give them all the convenience.Not to mention arresting people, if you want to move the container away, the administrator will not stop you.

After walking for about ten meters, a woman wearing a hat and working uniform came out of the bathroom at a position of more than 20 meters on the side, glanced at the group of people, and walked towards the warehouse area.

"Hey! Stop." Liang Xi said, "I've caught it."

Saran asked: "Why?"

Liang Xi said, "She only glanced at us."

"What kind of reason is this?" Saran was mad.

Liang Xi said: "There are so many of us, and more than a dozen fully armed men are distributed in a fan shape. She only took one look at such a cool scene."

It makes sense, Saran signaled, arrest people.

The girl didn't seem to hear the call, two Blue River special police officers hurried over, shouting as they walked, "Ma'am, we are the police, please stop."

The woman bowed her head and walked faster.

"Hey."

The woman ran quickly, Liang Xi said, "Fire the gun."

Saran: "No need, right?" None of Liang Xi's demands met the police's case handling procedures.Besides, shooting is subject to investigation.

Liang Xi said: "That's right, Lan He is the one who died of exhaustion anyway, not you, Sa Lan."

Saran was speechless, took out his pistol and fired into the sky, and the two special police officers who were chasing him shouted in unison: "If you run again, you will shoot." No!It was he who shouted first, and then fired the gun.How can you shoot first and then stop the other party?

But this move is very effective, the warehouse is open on all sides, and the woman is still a hundred meters away from the nearest bunker.The woman stopped, and two Blue River special police officers slowly approached and asked her to raise her hands before kneeling on the ground.The woman was cooperative, and the Blue River Special Police successfully put handcuffs on her.The woman kept explaining: "I just want to get back what belongs to me, and I haven't taken it yet."

The special police said: "I am a special police, and I am only responsible for arresting people according to orders." Attempted theft?That kid was right. Although he didn't want it, he could indeed catch it.

……

After arresting two people, the group continued to walk towards the semi-hanging area.Sa Lan felt uneasy, so he asked the elder Lan He for help a few steps behind. Lan He whispered: "If you catch the wrong person, you can explain to Yisha that it was Liang Xi's idea. If you put the wrong person, you have to get out."

Bobby looked at a man who stopped to watch them more than ten meters away, raised his hand and pointed: "Who is that, stop, grab it." It felt very majestic.

Liang Xi looked at Bobby in surprise: "Why?" Judging from the man's attire, he should be the owner of a certain warehouse or something. With the documents in his hand, he should go to the parking area management office to go through the formalities.

Bobby replied: "There are so many of us, a dozen people with guns, how dare he keep staring at us."

Liang Xi couldn't refute what he said, Liang Xi said: "Sa Lan?" You come to refute.

Sa Lan just got the truth, and immediately threw out the ID and said: "Police, please come with us." Today, if you go all out, you must arrest all the people in the freight company.

After arresting three people in a row, the group finally reached the semi-hanging area.

The administrator explained tremblingly: "The concealed semi-trailer has no goods, but the locked semi-trailer has goods."

The special police officers scattered to look for the target container, and a report came soon: "The target was found." All three target containers were found.

The first target container is empty, the second target container is also empty, and the third target container is still empty.Everyone looked at Liang Xi together: Do you want to say something?

Liang Xi sighed: "The enemy is really cunning, let's go."

A group of people waste a few hours with you, and you can just say a word?Sure, who has an opinion?No one will have an opinion, and even if they have an opinion, they dare not speak out.

Sa Lan quickly followed Liang Xi and asked, "Consultant Liang, can the three be released?"

Liang Xi asked back: "You mean I caught the wrong one?"No wonder many people like to use chicken feathers as arrows. This kind of superior refreshing feeling is indescribable.

Saran hurriedly said, "No, no."

Liang Xi said: "It's okay, I will make mistakes too. No one is Sherlock Holmes, so who can be infallible? In many things, the experience of failure is more valuable than success." Let's lay the groundwork first.

Saran smiled apologetically: How did this guy come out?

Only the voice of the chief bodyguard came from behind: "Mr. Liang, did you mention porcelain clay today?"

"Oh?" Liang Xi turned around and walked back.

The bodyguard squatted beside the wheel of a semi-trailer container, and used a dagger to dig out some gray and white lumps from the wheel lines, which were unwashed china clay lumps.Apparently the wheels of the car ran over where the china clay was placed.The place must be indoors.This kind of china clay can be transformed into clay form china clay when mixed with water.

Liang Xishou took the porcelain clay block and looked at it. He felt that the container might not be the problem, but the problem was where the container had been.

……

The special police surrounded the target container. Under the cover of a shield, one special police cut and broke the lock, and the left and right special police pulled the container apart.There was nothing in the car except for the bad smell from being closed for so long.Saran got the information by phone. The semi-trailer container was sent to the shipping company the night before.The day before yesterday, a cargo owner placed an order, and the freight company arranged for a vehicle to drag a semi-trailer container to a designated location in the countryside.The transporter was Aite, because it was an internal operation of short-distance transport, so no records were left.
