fog city detective

Liang Xi nodded slowly: "Suppose the previous part wasn't Thresh's plan? Let's review it with the death as a watershed. Hannah made a proposal, Elder No. 2 objected, Elder No. 3 was neutral. Then Elder No. 3 died, and Elder No. 2 Elder No. [-] was suspected, and Hannah’s proposal was passed, that is, to expel the original elders of the Dark Society from the blood moon. The blood moon steward proposed a new proposal, established an elder system, and then had a blood moon invitation. I have a preconceived opinion in this link , the Blood Moon Steward is cooperating with Hannah to annex the Blood Moon. Judging from all the current signs, it seems that this is not the case."

Bobby tried to understand: "Hannah's goal is to expel the elders of the Dark Society from the Blood Moon, and she has completed her plan. The new proposal of the Blood Moon Steward is the action of another force. It is possible that Thresh entered the scene at this stage , with the help of Thresh, the Blood Moon Steward passed the resolution of the lower elders system, and hired Ristone and the house group to complete the five kills of Ristone, allowing this force to control the lower elders. So who is this force? "

Liang Xi said: "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that the blood moon elder faced Hannah's aggressive counterattack. The second possibility is that after Hannah kicked out the dark elder, it caused dissatisfaction in the dark society. The president of the dark society presided over the This wave of counterattack."

Bobby was thoughtful: "The blood moon steward has become the most central figure in the incident, and he is also the person who knows the most."

Liang Xi agreed: "So when I took a walk with me on the seventh night, his expression, mentality and language were full of helplessness and contradictions."

Poppy said, "I have a question."

Liang Xi said, "Huh?"

Bobby: "None of your business?"

The bodyguard outside the door entered the independent sauna after hearing the yelling, and separated the two people who were rolling on the ground, ending their one-minute fierce fight.

What Bobby said is not unreasonable. There are many stories about fighting for power and profit every day in many countries on the earth. What happened to Guan Liang?Who will be the boss of Blood Moon, and what's the matter with Liang Xi?Even if Liang Xi earns money from the blood moon, can Liang Xi prevent the change of blood moon's power?

Of course Liang Xi knew what Bobby said was right, otherwise he wouldn't have fought.Liang Xi understood this truth, but as a detective, he was fortunate to discover such a conspiracy and problem, and his heart itch was unbearable, and he always wanted to analyze the next wave.The purpose is very simple, just to prove that your reasoning is correct.

For the sake of face, Liang Xi proposed that Earl Xueyue knew the clues to John's death, so he wanted to protect Xueyue.Bobby didn't bother to refute, but the topic successfully changed from the blood moon to John's matter.

Poppy asked the question Liang Xi worried about: "Suppose Earl Blood Moon provided John with accurate information and information, which eventually led to John's death. You ask Earl Blood Moon to clarify the situation, will you end up like John? Woolen cloth?"

Liang Xi replied: "I have thought about it. I may have to give up facing the Earl of Blood Moon directly. If Hannah and the Steward of the Blood Moon are a team, they will win. I believe that the Steward of the Blood Moon will give me an answer sooner or later. Assuming they It is a group of opposing parties, so if one side wins and wants to use me, the winner will give me an answer."

Bobby cut the corner: "Suppose they are two groups of people who cooperate and win-win?"

"..." Liang Xi was questioned, and it seemed that it was not impossible.Originally, the power of Blood Moon was assigned to the elders. After experiencing this storm, the two forces completely controlled Blood Moon.Fuck, you dare to ask me down, it makes me very embarrassed, I can only relieve the embarrassment by fighting.

……

Without Liang Xi joining in the fun of the anti-terrorism office's daily leisure, Liu Zhen and the men were sweating wantonly in the attached gymnasium, fighting ring and indoor shooting range.Roger sat alone in a corner of the office, enjoying a delicious breakfast, watching the birds soaring outside the window, which instantly made him feel that life should be doing nothing.

The tranquility was broken with Xiaobai's scream not far away: "Liang Xi is coming!" Liang Xi waved his hand smilingly at the camera in front of the warning passage in the surveillance.

Liang Xi and Liu Zhen talked on the phone earlier, and everyone knew that Liang Xi was back.Roger didn't expect to come to the door two days after he came back.Roger said: "Pretend you didn't see it."

Xiaobai looked at Roger: "I dare not."

Roger waved, go.

After a while, Xiaobai led Liang Xi and Bobby to the anti-terrorism office. Liang Xi saw the conference room crowded with sweaty men, and explained unhurriedly: "Everyone, go to work. Find out where your friend is."

Liu Zhen expressed doubts on behalf of the men: "Really?"

"Really." Liang Xi said: "He molested Selah, and Selah ran away from home."

Everyone watched Bobby together. Serra has a certain working relationship with the Office of Counter-Terrorism. Bobby quickly explained: "No, I drank too much, I misunderstood."

One detective said: "Mr. Poppy, surrendering yourself is the best way out for criminals."

Liu Zhendao: "I have to surrender and go out, I'm too lazy to do the paperwork."

Bobby waved his hands again and again: "It's not a surrender, it's a matter of work. Sierra's diamond company is a cooperative company of the Clement Group."

Liu Zhen was suspicious: "As the chairman of the Clement Group, when did you care about the Clement Group?"

Bobby didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister Liu Zhen, if I really want to surrender, I won't bother you, okay?"

"What you say is what you say." Liu Zhen glanced at Bobby dubiously, and said, "Xiaobai, welcome them, let's go." The 5VS5 ring battle they bet on today's lunch is still in progress.

Chapter 585 Kidnapping

Liang Xi sat next to Xiaobai: "Check Serra's entry and exit records."

Xiaobai operated like a tiger, and said: "Not found."

Liang Xi said, "The morning before yesterday."

Xiaobai said: "There is no entry and exit record for Sera in the past two months."

Liang Xidao: "Call out the city map, centering on Sera's residence."

Bobby said, "Selah's address is..."

After Xiaobai is set, zoom the camera to the location of Sera's residence.

Liang Xi asked Bobby, "Which direction is Selah going?"

Bobby was taken aback: "I don't know, why do you ask this question?"

Liang Xi said: "Wherever she walks, it means which direction she is going." His own answer was so idiotic.

Bobby shrugged his shoulders: "I don't remember. I didn't watch the surveillance video. It was the police officer who saw the description given to me by the surveillance. He asked about my relationship with Serra, and finally told me that Serra was around six o'clock yesterday morning. Going out with a big suitcase and driving away."

Liang Xi said to Xiaobai: "Turn down the monitoring."

Xiaobai determines a camera based on the location of the road section, and searches the database for the video captured by this camera around [-] o'clock yesterday morning according to the camera number.The camera is located about ten meters from Sierra's house and is a public and road safety monitor.At [-]:[-] a.m., Sierra appeared on surveillance from her home, wearing the same old outfit: a hooded sweater, with one hand in its pocket and the other dragging a suitcase.She opened the trunk and put the suitcase in, then turned back to the driver's seat, got in the car, turned on the ignition, drove, turned around on the spot, and drove north.

Xiaobai became more and more capable, and from the split screen, he retrieved the monitoring of Selah's return from Pete's car last night, and Selah's car was parked on the side of the road at that time.

"enlarge."

After zooming in, the picture became blurred. Xiaobai cleared it according to the software that Selah gave him. Liang Xi could see it clearly and said, "He may not be Selah." He was referring to the person carrying the suitcase.

Liang Xi pointed and said: "When he took the suitcase off the curb, he didn't directly lift the suitcase lever, but put his hand on the handle of the suitcase, and put the suitcase on the road. It means that the suitcase is heavy. Let's see how he put the suitcase Put the suitcase in the trunk. Although he used two hands, he lifted the suitcase to the same height as the trunk with one hand. It shows that he is very confident in his strength. One possibility is that the suitcase is not heavy. It’s unnecessary. One possibility is that Sera is born with supernatural power.”

Liang Xi told Xiaobai to fast-forward and play slowly. This is the scene of Sera opening the door. Liang Xi said: "He took out the key and pressed the door button. Serra's car does not need to take the key. Just bring the key to the door and press the key. The unlock button on the door handle can open the door. One may be my memory is wrong, and the other may be that Sierra changed the way to open the door."

Then the car turned around, Liang Xi said: "I always thought that Sierra was a novice driver, because she likes to keep the steering wheel on the spot. This driver is not. Looking at the width of the road, a novice driver would never dare to speed up and turn Go over. You see, when you turn the corner, you are already very close to the opposite curb."

Liang Xi said: "The last point: Sierra is left-handed, and the person under surveillance is right-handed."

Since the surveillance was at a high place, Sera wore a hood and lowered his head slightly, and the surveillance did not capture the front of Serra.The first time Liang Xi watched the surveillance, he found the left-handed flaw. After two rounds of watching, he found more flaws, which made him convinced that the person in the surveillance was not Serra.Since it is not Serra who wears Serra's clothes and drives Serra's car, it means that Serra has something wrong.

……

Liu Zhen took a group of people to cooperate with Liang Xi and Bobby to Serra's residence. It is estimated that the firepower of a group of people plus 6 bodyguards should be enough.Even so, Roger told the other agents to be ready to act at any time.One of the detectives asked a very philosophical question: Did Serra's disappearance lead to Liang Xi, or did Serra become a missing person as soon as Liang Xi came?This question is logically untenable and can only be a philosophical question, a theological question.

……

The community where Sierra lives is a Jinling community, and the law and order are quite good. Even so, some people have installed alarms from the security company.Sierra, like her neighbors, has a basic siren installed.Anyone who enters the room through the door must enter the correct password within a certain period of time, such as 10 seconds or 30 seconds. Once the timeout alarm sounds, the security company personnel will call immediately.If authorized, security companies can activate the cameras in the house after the alarm goes off.

The basic security also includes door and window security. Sensors are installed at the back door and windows on the first and second floors. If there is an object blocking the sensor, the homeowner will be alerted, and the security company will also contact the homeowner.This is partly because user actions often have false positives.

According to the security company's door opening records, it can be found that Sierra returned to his residence at 10 pm the day before yesterday, which is consistent with Pete's testimony.At about five o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday, Serra's house opened again, and she set a 30-second password.Someone enters Serra's house and enters the correct password in 10 seconds.At six o'clock the morning before yesterday, the door of Sera's house was opened again, and the sensor judged that she was leaving home, so there was no need to enter the password.

Since there are sensors inside and outside the gate, why not just set up monitoring?That's the privacy issue.If you want to be safer, you have to hand over your privacy to security companies, and bet that they won't spy on your privacy.

Judging from the records, Serra did not leave the house after returning home the day before yesterday until [-] am the day before yesterday, which means that the person who entered Serra's house at [-] am must not be Serra.

Sierra Diamond Company is a partner of the Clement Group, and the residence is also provided by the group, with housekeeping services from its subsidiary every week.In addition, Sierra lives alone, the house is very neat and simple.There is no strong evidence, and the case cannot be established for the time being. Liang Xi cameo to investigate the scene and found no violent intrusion. It is speculated that the criminals used drugs in their sleep to attack Sierra.

It is basically certain that the gangsters kidnapped Serra and transported Serra away in a suitcase.There is no trace of theft, and no trace of bullying Sera. It is basically determined to be kidnapping.Serra's chances of survival are high.Of course, Serra had been missing for two days, and if Serra had no use for the gangsters, Serra might have been killed.The reason for the kidnapping of Sierra is believed to be the identity of a hacker targeting Sierra.Bobby thinks that it is not ruled out that there is a tendency to fall in love with Sela, and finally make radical behaviors.Liang Xi called up Sierra's photo from his mobile phone and looked at it in all directions for a while, and told Bobby clearly that there was no such possibility.

Sierra was pretty, but only pretty.I wear loose clothes every day, walk with my head bowed, and I can't see my figure or measurements.It is difficult for such a girl to attract perverts, except Bobby... Liang Xi took a deep look at Bobby, probably not.

……

At six o'clock in the morning, there were very few vehicles on the road, and the pursuit vehicle drove to a community five kilometers away through surveillance.This community is an open apartment community, not a villa community, and there are many blind spots in monitoring.The last surveillance video shows Sierra's car entering the underground parking lot of Apartment 8.

Although no case was filed, due to the request of the Office of Counter-Terrorism, the Criminal Investigation Department of the Southern District dispatched Baker to coordinate the investigation.Yin Sha was due to give birth this month. Baker and Liang Xi boasted on the phone: twins, a boy and a girl, I have already thought about the names, what do you think of the names of so-and-so and so-and-so?

Liang Xi told Baker to go secretly to apartment No. 8 under the disguise of his identity, carefully avoid the cameras, and collect evidence as secretly as possible.

Baker arrived at Apartment No. 8 with the secondary car key obtained by Serra's family, and found the Serra car abandoned by the criminals and parked in the underground parking space.The physical evidence dispatched a person to collect evidence, and the person who collected the evidence told Baker that no suspicious fingerprints or strong clues were found on the driver's seat.

After coming and going, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still no news.Poppy notified Chris, who arrived at a park parking lot not far from Sierra's residence.A large caravan parked in the parking lot is Liang Xi's temporary office.But there was no policeman in front of or behind the house.

After Liang Xi explained the situation, Chris was very anxious: Are you a detective?Why are you still sitting here motionless?It just so happened that Liu Zhen just came out of the bathroom and greeted Chris unhurriedly, making Chris think that the group was just sitting here waiting for news.Just when Chris wanted to leave with an excuse and used his own strength to find Sierra, Pete opened the back door of the RV and said, "He brought it."

Two counterterrorism office agents in plain clothes stuffed a handcuffed man in a black cloth bag into the trailer.

Liu Zhen grabbed the suspect, dried his hands on the suspect, and then pushed the suspect to sit on the chair.Liu Zhen took off the suspect's hood and greeted, "Hi! Philip."

Philip is 38 years old this year. After retiring from the army, he became a flour criminal at the instigation of his cousin and was arrested twice by Liu Zhen. Eight of the 25 years since retiring at the age of 13 have been spent in prison.

"Beautiful police officer, you will never forget me no matter where you go." Philip said with a playful smile and aggrieved face, "I didn't do anything today. I have already washed my hands and changed my ways."

Liu Zhen knew that Philip was telling the truth. She had introduced Philip to Liang Xi before.Three years ago, Philip's former female boss retired from the military. After the two met by chance, they were out of control. The female boss opened a private detective agency based on her and Philip's expertise.

Liang Xi took out his mobile phone and showed Philip a photo of Serra: "Do you know him? Answer honestly, otherwise you will accidentally break every finger."

Philip originally planned to discuss the law with Liu Zhen, but before getting in the car, he saw the bodyguards and luxury cars outside, and knew that it was not just a legal issue, but also important figures involved.

Real Liu was near the back door, and seemed to leave the RV at any moment.After so many years of being in the world, Philip immediately said, "Don't worry, don't worry, what do you call me?"

Poppy said, "Poppy Clement."

That's right, someone I can't afford to offend!The luxury car was two meters high, and the head of the bodyguard who was standing took out two stacks of banknotes from his pocket and threw them in front of Philip.

Philip smiled and said, "Ask, if you ask a question, I will answer it. I will never lie." When he spoke, he hooked the banknote with his toe.

Liang Xi raised the phone in his hand.

Philip said: "A few days ago, a client asked me to keep an eye on her, saying that she was his girlfriend and went to London to start a company by herself. Let me stay near her residence to see what time she came home and if she had sex with others. The man went home. I asked if I needed to follow and take photos. The other party said no, he just wanted to verify whether what she told me was true or not."

The entrustment was received at ten o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday. After the other party explained the situation, Philip's girlfriend offered a price of [-] pounds.Unexpectedly, the other party called [-] pounds and explained on the phone that this was the commission fee.If it is done, there are other businesses.Philip's girlfriend wondered, whether it is too much to pay [-] yuan for only one day of stalking, or squatting and stalking?The client told Philip's girlfriend that [-] pounds was nothing to him, and he was more interested in the next cooperation.

At around ten o'clock that night, Philip called the customer and explained that a man in a suit was taking him home. The man in the suit didn't stay and drove away.The client asked Philip to follow until three o'clock in the morning. The client explained that his girlfriend likes to go out at night to see if anyone comes to pick her up.For [-] pounds, Philip drank two cups of coffee and stared at three o'clock without blinking. After informing the client, the client was satisfied with this and asked him to go back to rest, because the client would still contact their detective agency tomorrow.

The next day, at 4 o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday, the detective agency received a call from a client, asking them to go to a hotel, open a room on the 5th or 24th floor, and take pictures of the street of the hotel 24 hours a day, taking one picture every half hour.The daily remuneration is twenty thousand pounds.Requirements, upload the photos to the designated mailbox immediately after taking them. The 40-hour work system, the two of them can change shifts and shifts. If there is no photo uploaded for more than [-] minutes, the client will deduct a certain amount of remuneration as appropriate. They are temporarily booked for three days and paid [-] pounds to the detective agency first.

Poppy asked, "What street?"

Liang Xi had a headache, rubbed his forehead with one hand, and waved with the other: "The street is meaningless, is your girlfriend taking pictures now?"

"Yes."

Liang Xi gestured to the head of the bodyguard, and the head of the bodyguard came over and took out two stacks of pounds and put them on the table. Liang Xi said, "Go back to work as usual, don't ask, don't tell. Do you understand?"

Philip nodded again and again: "Understood, understood."

Liang Xi said: "I want to find you as a client. I don't have any hope, but I still want to ask, can you help?"

Poppy added: "Money is not an issue."

Philip thought for a while, and said, "Does it count if someone is watching and following us?"

Someone installed a tracker on Philip and his wife's car, but this person underestimated Philip.The evening before yesterday, Philip bought food and went back to the hotel to tell his girlfriend about it.Philip left the Watch Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening and drove to the Seven Sails Hotel.A suspicious woman in her 20s entered the Seven Sails Hotel one minute later than Philip, and was waiting in the lobby.At 1:2, Philip left the Seven Sails Hotel with a young woman talking and laughing.The suspicious woman left the hotel [-] minutes later. Her behavior has been photographed in the hotel lobby. Philip's girlfriend's friend is the hotel lobby manager.

Philip and the two analyzed for a long time but still could not understand the woman's intentions. At nine o'clock yesterday morning, the client sent another [-] pounds to the account.Last night, under the arrangement of his wife, Philip went to the Seven Sails Hotel to date his sister again, and found a suspicious woman again.At nine o'clock this morning, the customer continued to call [-].

"Did you drive your own car to the supermarket?"

Philip replied: "I dare not drive. Besides, the supermarket is one kilometer away from the monitoring point, and I walk."

"If you help us, you will get a lot of money." Liang Xi said, "Sister, get someone to take him back to the supermarket." Philip was brought here while shopping in the supermarket.

Liu Zhen uncuffed the handcuffs and sent Philip to the back door. The chief bodyguard asked, "Do you need to threaten?"

Philip immediately said: "No need. Will we be in danger?"

"No." Liang Xi replied: "I hope you are in danger, so that we have a chance."

Chapter 586 No kidnapping?

Liu Zhen connected the mobile phone to the TV and played the video of the lobby of the Seven Sails Hotel transmitted by Philip's friend. Everything was as Philip said.Now wait for Xiaobai to find out the identity of the woman.

Chris finally couldn't help asking: "Why? What's going on?"

"what why?"

"Follow Philip."

Liang Xi said: "It was within the gangster's expectation that we found out that Selah was missing. Sooner or later, the gangsters were concerned about when we found out that Selah was missing. The gangsters must have Selah do something bad for him by arresting Selah, and it will take time. As long as we investigate carefully, we will definitely find Philip. As long as there is a problem with Philip and his wife, it means that there is not much time left for the gangsters."

Chris was puzzled: "Why did the gangsters focus on Philip and his wife?"

Liang Xi said: "Because the gangsters know that we can find Serra by bypassing Philip and his wife. The gangsters just gave us an obvious clue."

Chris asked, "How do we get around Philip and get to Sierra?"

Liang Xi said: "First of all, you have to know that this plan was decided by the gangsters on the spur of the moment. Otherwise, they wouldn't start on the day Philip was following him. It means that the gangsters are in a hurry. It means that the gangsters don't have a perfect plan, and we can easily find loopholes in the procedures."

Liang Xidao: "Our traditional method is to find vehicles. Gangsters have an unavoidable disadvantage. There are very few cars and pedestrians on the road in the early morning, which means that vehicles are easy to track. You can drive the car into a blind spot and replace it with a safe car. But I can identify the car you are riding in by monitoring and checking near the blind spot. The fewer vehicles, the less workload."

Liang Xidao: "When I learned that the gangster drove the car into the apartment community, I immediately became vigilant and asked Baker to conduct secret evidence collection without disturbing too many people. I thought of two possibilities. The gangster was in the apartment community. The gangster borrowed Apartment community transfers. Those two could potentially be investigated with technology."

Liang Xidao: "Assuming that the gangster is in the apartment community, we can detect the electricity consumption of each household through the background of the smart meter, and conduct investigation through physical disconnection behavior. Keep chasing the vehicles. From my judgment, I think the gangsters are hiding in the apartment complex and they just want Sierra to give them a quick fix. The bad news is, if the problem is not big, fix it quickly, Sierra hasn't been with us yet Contact, it means that she has probably been killed. If the problem is big, it will not be resolved in a short while, and it has been two or three days, and Sera must have left London."

Chris asked, "Where's the woman spying on Philip?"
