fog city detective

Liang Xi asked, "How about Iceland?"

Karin hesitated: "Consumption in Iceland is relatively high." The price in Iceland is 56% higher than the average price in Europe.A pizza is almost 20 euros.For Europeans, Iceland travel is less cost-effective, and Norway, Finland, and Denmark are no better than Iceland.

Liang Xi said, "Money is not a problem."

Karin said: "It will bring me a lot of pressure if you bear all the daily expenses of the two of us together. The travel expenses can only be paid by the joint account, and I can transfer tens of thousands of pounds."

Liang Xi said, "It seems to be your last savings, right?"

Karin: "Honey, you really don't like your nouveau riche tone. I'll deal with you when I come back later."

I can go out to sea with you on the yacht you bought, and I can live in your mansion, but I refuse to accept high-value goods or money from you.It's a very simple reason, short hands for grabbing people and short mouths for eating people will lead to unfair exchanges.

In the joke, a boy questioned a girl: After eating, buying a mobile phone, watching a movie, and singing a song, now you say you want to go home?

Chapter 591 Funeral

Liang Xi left the criminal investigation department and wanted to rush back to discuss travel matters with Karin, but Bobby cut him off.A luxury car parked in front of Liang Xi. Bobby looked at Liang Xi with a half-smile, and Liang Xi responded, "Are you sick? Why don't you call me?" The original phone number has been blacked out.

"Get in the car." It was rare for Bobby to fight back without words. He secretly vowed that he would never fight with Liang Xi by pulling his hair again. The chaebol must have the bearing of a chaebol.

Liang Xi said, "I'm not free."

Bobby was annoyed, and said: "Call your darling, and go to my house for dinner tonight... You are so forgetful of friends." Still couldn't hold back.

"Okay." Liang Xi got into the car, greeted Pete and the chief bodyguard, and looked at Bobby: "Are you okay?"

"There are good and bad." Bobby said, "Needless to say the bad ones?"

Liang Xi nodded: "To be a friend, you should keep the pain in your heart and bear it silently."

Bobby couldn't laugh or cry: "My heart can't digest this pain. I am very sad, very sad, but not so sad and sad."

Liang Xi understood: "Your friend lost a hundred pounds. You feel sorry for your friend, but not very sad. You lose a hundred pounds yourself, and the pain is heartbreaking." You can exchange a hundred pounds for a woman. friend.Things that don't belong to you can't hurt no matter how painful they are, and you won't feel pain if you hit someone else with a board.

I will endure!

Liang Xi asked, "What's the good news?"

Bobby said: "I finally found my first goal in life: to avenge Sera. Although it is only a small goal, it is indeed my first goal in life."

"Sorry to interrupt, but it is very difficult to achieve this small goal of yours." Liang Xi said, "This case is not that simple."

Bobby said: "I have already contacted three detective companies and asked them to find out the truth about Sera's murder. You, a poor ghost who is not very poor, will not understand the power of money. As long as you have money, some people even sell themselves."

Liang Xi was a little worried and asked, "How do you plan to operate?"

Bobby said: "The basic salary is 10 yuan, 10 to 100 million yuan for each valuable clue, and 1000 million yuan if there is evidence to accuse the mastermind behind the scenes."

Liang Xi said, "I mean to ask: How are you going to investigate?"

Bobby said: "How to investigate is not my business, I am only responsible for paying the money."

Liang Xi thought for a long time: "What does this have to do with your goal?"

Bobby said: "I'm the boss, I contributed the money, and all investment income belongs to me."

There is nothing wrong with saying this.Bobby said: "I also deliberately contacted Ristone, who is said to be the most popular in the blood moon invitation."

"Oh, he." Liang Xi said: "He is not a lone wolf in the blood moon invitation, I can't see his personal real level."

"I'll call Daisy first."

Bobby got busy with a phone call and ruined Daisy.Liang Xi can come to eat at will. Liang Xi and Karin visit together, that is the identity of the guests.What kind of etiquette is used to entertain guests is related to the relationship between the guest and the host, the status of the guest, and even whether it is the first visit.Just like when Liang Xi came to Bobby's house for dinner for the first time, Daisy also struggled for a while.

Daisy called Bobby to ask if he had a suitable female companion. As a single dog, you are not qualified to invite a couple to your house for dinner.

Bobby listened for a while: "No more. Pete, take him home."

Liang Xi has no problem with this, as long as you don't waste my time.The higher the standard of the meal, the more time wasted.

The 21st century is the information age. After Liang Xi returned to his residence, Karin couldn't wait to tell Liang Xi one thing: "London wealthy businessmen offered a reward of tens of millions of pounds to find the real culprit behind the scenes."

Liang Xi hung up his coat, took Karin's phone and sat down on the spot with his arms around his waist.They hugged Karin from behind with one hand and watched the news that was sent out just an hour ago together.A media reporter interviewed the Criminal Investigation Department of the Southern District. A police officer in the Criminal Investigation Department who did not want to be named confirmed that there was such a thing. The mysterious wealthy businessman had transferred a bonus of 1000 million pounds to the police public account, and the time limit was 20 years.Anyone who provides evidence that can accuse the real culprit behind the scenes within 20 years can get a corresponding bonus.

As the news ignited, the case of Sierra's murder rose rapidly and became the focus of public attention.Liang Xi put the phone aside and said, "This guy has learned to be smart."

"Ok?"

Liang Xi said: "He was worried that he would be killed because of the reward, so he gave the reward in one go, and even he himself could not withdraw it. This reporter and the police officer who did not want to be named are obviously playing double pornography."

Liang Xi said: "Selah's matter is endless. I feel that not only Bobby is full, but also the person who kidnapped Serra will not let it go. Even Blood Moon may intervene. It's none of our business. We just watch the fun it is good."

Karin asked: "Who could it be? The boss of the Dark Society?"

Liang Xidao: "This force has always existed in the past few years. Whether it is the Mal Group or the Deep Sea Group, or the Holy Banner and the Lonely Elderly Society, they are all held hostage, controlled, attacked and subdued by a force. It is not just my opinion, Now it is generally believed that there is a group of dark forces. The boss of the Dark Society has never shown up. I guess few members of the Dark Society have seen their boss. Hannah took advantage of the Dark Society to get the seat of the Blood Moon Elders and then blatantly reversed, abolishing the Dark Society in the The seat of the elders of the blood moon. I temporarily rule out that the dark forces belong to a certain country."

Liang Xidao: "Although no one has ever seen the boss of the Dark Society, he must talk to others if he wants to benefit. Blindly using conspiracy and tricks is definitely not a good way to solve the problem. Now the core interests of all parties are the blood moon. Let What I doubt is Hannah. She has never appeared and showed up since the invitation of Blood Moon. If Ristone is her person, then she has already controlled half of Blood Moon. The monthly impact is basically eliminated."

Karin asked, "Are you just watching the fun?"

Liang Xi replied: "None of them are good things. Whoever lives and dies is in power. It doesn't have much influence on ordinary people and us. It is not the elders or the president of the Dark Society that restrain them, but the judiciary. Just say Hannah, she dominates the Dark Society and controls the Blood Moon, and then what? Then use these resources to grow the Kefu family and make the Kefu family the world's largest behemoth. So what? At least on the bright side they still have to do A clean and polished person. The only thing I care about now is Shengqi, the princess of Shengqi."

Karin asked: "Could the eldest princess be behind the scenes?"

Liang Xi thought for a while: "Even if it is related to the mastermind behind the scenes, it will not be directly led by the mastermind behind the scenes. Don't worry, One Eye will not let the second princess Bella go, even if everything is destroyed, he will dig out the eldest princess from Bella's mouth identity. Don’t discuss these, is the travel strategy ready?”

"Wait a minute, I remember saying that you would clean up after you came back, but I forgot why." Karin looked confused.

Liang Xi said openly: "Bullying me is something that needs no reason at all, why bother thinking about it?" He casually knocked Karin down with one hand.Look, who is bullying who does not know yet.

……

Early the next morning, the young couple took a plane to Iceland. After a few days of fun, they went to Sweden and visited Modo, who was dying.Liang Xi received a call from the housekeeper of Modo Manor and learned that Modo would accept a happy death next Monday, so he ended his trip to Iceland two days earlier and arrived at Modo Manor on Sunday afternoon.

Since he is not worried about the long-term side effects of the drug, Modo's spirit is quite good when the doctor boldly uses the drug.When Liang Xi arrived at the manor, Modo, accompanied by Anka, his adoptive daughter, maid and trainee housekeeper, walked along the forest path.For Modo, he has already dealt with all the affairs behind him.Yesterday he had his last meal with his children and grandchildren, and told them that he was not allowed to see himself until the end of tomorrow. He explained: He came into this world crying and did not want to leave this world in sadness.

Liang Xi introduced Karin, Modo and Karin embraced and praised: "Your girlfriend is the most beautiful girl in Europe."

"Thank you." Karin thanked, and helped Modo to sit in the wheelchair by the way.

Modo ordered the trainee housekeeper Anka: "You accompany Miss Karin to the guest room to rest, and I will have a chat with Liang Xi alone."

Anka nodded.

Liang Xi took out his mobile phone to Karin: "Baby, charge me."

Why did Modo want to have a private chat with Liang Xi?Modo said it was because he didn't like the undisguised sadness in Anka's emotions.The people in the whole manor looked at him with pity and sadness, which made Modo very uncomfortable.Unfamiliar people will naturally not be sad, but they cannot chat.Therefore, Liang Xi is the best candidate for Modo to chat.

They are friends who have forgotten their years and are friends of gentlemen. They have no daily contact and communication, but this does not hinder the trust between them.The calm brought by chatting with Liang Xi reassured Modo.Liang Xi is willing to discuss life and death with Modo objectively without too many emotional factors, and effectively appease Modo's instinctive fear of death.

Modo talked about his memorable past, talked about his adopted daughter Anka, and shared the interesting things in his memory with most of the children.Liang Xi acted as a good listener, asking questions at the right time and changing the subject at the right time.The two drank tea by the lake, and the scenery of mountains and rivers made Moduo, who had lived here for decades, sigh with emotion. He felt the beauty of the earth, and even knelt down on one knee with the support of Liang Xi, touching the earth to express his love for the earth, Gratitude to the world.

After all, he is a detective. After discussing life and philosophy, Liang Xi provided new chat materials, that is, the blood moon revolution until Serra's death.

Modo listened quietly, and then asked Liang Xi: "You don't ask enough questions."

Liang Xi was puzzled: "Please advise."

Modo said: "According to your description, except for the dead super hacker Deep Sea, Selah is at least not much worse than other hackers. Your first question should be: How did Selah become an excellent hacker?" You preconceived that Sierra became a hacker and only pursued results. There is nothing wrong in normal times, but when there are various contradictions in the case and no progress can be made, you have to detail things, details and details. You propose this After the question, you realize that Sierra doesn't seem to have the qualifications to be a hacker."

Liang Xi nodded slowly: "Serra is introverted and doesn't like socializing. Even on the Internet, she has few friends. Her best friend is Fiona, whom she met because of her hacking skills." Sera was born in the small town of Liverpool. At this time, a flaw appeared.Assuming that Sierra is a gifted computer expert, she seems to lack a learning platform. When she and Fiona met on the Internet, she was already an expert.According to the time speculation, Sierra was still a middle school student at the time, and she went to London to study at a university the year after she met Fiona.

Serra lived and studied in small towns before studying in London.

Modo said: "Since you suspect that Sera is hiding her identity, why didn't you investigate further?"

Liang Xi did not shy away and explained the reason. He believed that the origin of everything came from the death report of 12 agents of the Silencer Project.

Moduo nodded: "I understand!" The water was too deep, and Liang Xi dared not go down.Modo will not encourage Liang Xi to enter the water, on the contrary he will discourage Liang Xi from entering the water.At his age, he knows too much about fighting for power and profit, and how bad people can be in the intrigue.

Continuing with the analysis of the situation, Liang Xi expressed all his thoughts, and Modo was noncommittal, he expressed his opinion.From Liang Xi's point of view, there is a big black hand behind the scenes manipulating all the bad things.Modo believes that there is a black hand, but the black hand may not operate all bad things, it may also be plugging.

Modo believes that the killing time of the 12 agents was changed from 12 months to 3 months. This is definitely not a conspiracy, but just filling in the omissions.They have to do a lot of work to fill in the gaps, which creates an illusion that people behind the scenes are always active and doing bad things.The key is to see where the vulnerability started to appear.

Modo gave an example: "I want to shoot a maid's ass. This is an idea. I drew up a plan based on the idea. But when I acted, a third party knew about it. If I haven't acted, I can withdraw." I have a plan, but I have already slapped the maid's ass. The maid thinks I did it unintentionally, but the third party knows that I did it on purpose. In order to clear my name in the evening, I have to find out who the third party is, and I have to consider how to deal with this matter How can I escape from a third party who betrays me or threatens me."

Moduo said: "Looking at the case, you will find that there are many things that shouldn't have happened. The first is the first hacker, the Deep Sea Group. The Deep Sea Group is recognized as the strongest hacker. Such people are usually protected by high standards. There is a strong force behind him. But he died, and this result must have surprised many people. Secondly, there were black hands who wanted to control the Orphan Association, but they failed in the end. Why? This is also beyond the expectations of the planners."

Modo said: "I disagree with your idea that the man behind the scenes has basically controlled the Dark Society, basically controlled the Blood Moon, and is clearing his own criminal evidence. Is there such a possibility? Not only did he not attack, but he What about the struggle? The strong Hannah conquered the Dark Society, and it has only been a few months since she entered the blood moon. The power behind Hannah is not something that any non-governmental organization, or even an official organization, can compete with."

Modo said: "There may be many. I think you put your energy into trying to figure out things like Blood Moon, Black Hand, and Hannah, but it doesn't have any real effect. Your purpose is to find out who killed John. Now the clues are very It is clear that John's death is related to the Grand Princess of the Holy Banner."

Liang Xi said: "The only breakthrough is Petain, but I don't want to be a certain kind of person."

"That's right, the reason why wicked people are wicked is not only because of their evil intentions, but also because of their evil means. It may be unfair to others, but people cannot follow the example of animals. Otherwise, those who slay dragons will become evil dragons."

Chapter 592 Funeral

Modo asked: "Do you have a clearer view now?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Based on your point of view, I think there are two groups of people behind the scenes, and some large and small incidents that have happened in London and even Europe in the past few years are related to them. I have never been sure who is behind the scenes, because I always think that There can only be one Demon Lord. If there are two Demon Lords, then things can be sorted out easily."

"The first demon king, the president of the Dark Society. The purpose of the Dark Society is the European Datong, so that the business they control can spread throughout Europe and become the world's largest economy. The Holy Banner is directly related to it. He hopes to pass the Holy Banner Attack London, thereby separating Scotland and Northern Ireland. If these two places are separated, England's position in Europe will become insignificant." Liang Xi said: "This devil controls the blood moon, and his foundation is very good. Someone There are benefits in the place where he is, and when he was flourishing, a second demon king was born, and we assume that the second demon king is named Xiaomo."

Liang Xidao: "The little devil launched the Silencer Project with the purpose of controlling the Dark Society. At the beginning, everything went smoothly. The Silent Man operatives went undercover to known members of the Dark Society, and some even became the spouses of Dark Society members. Seeing someone move The big devil quit his own cake, maybe he leaked the secret, which caused Germany and France to intervene in the Silencer plan. Of course, the little devil was unwilling to hand over his achievements to Germany and France, so the Mal gang defected and killed all the German and French agents As soon as the big demon saw that there was something wrong, he immediately cleaned the dark society. After the confrontation between the two sides, the big demon suffered a loss, and he was given a lot of information by the little devil. The little devil didn't take advantage of it, not only had to face endless Trouble, I have to check and make up for the omissions.”

Liang Xi said: "During the continuous battle between big and small devils, the big devil's plan to attack London with the Holy Banner failed repeatedly, making his big plan impossible to carry out. The little devil is working hard to wipe his ass, desperately trying to cover up the fact of the silent man's plan. The female devil leader Hannah found an opportunity to take advantage of, pretended to obey when the big devil was weak, and obtained the identity of the blood moon elder with the help of the big devil. Unexpectedly, the big devil had a great appetite and kicked the big devil away. The people who are in the blood moon are planning to annex the blood moon. I don't know the details, and I still haven't figured out what happened to the earl of the blood moon and the steward of the blood moon."

Modo smiled: "Where is John? Is John getting involved in the big devil, or the little devil, or the female devil's affairs before encountering misfortune?"

Liang Xidao: "Subjectively, I think it has something to do with the little devil. Judging from the clues and John's last words, it seems that this matter has something to do with the big devil. Oh... Mal is the dead man raised by the little devil. The big devil's defense tore a big hole, allowing the female devil to take advantage of it."

Moduo said: "Hey, Liang Xi, don't digress, your mission and focus is John, John. It's not for you to worry about the Dark Society and Blood Moon. They are just tools for you to find the real culprit, and should not be what attracts you Dangerous quicksand."

Liang Xi asked Modo: "What should I do?"

Moduo said: "When you understand that there are two groups of people behind the scenes, with the information resources you have, you can completely make them fight. You need a plan, a perfect plan. However, you are British, and Xiaomo may It's a British institution or group, I believe Xiaomo is doing all this for the benefit of the UK, do you really want to fight against Xiaomo?"

Liang Xi hesitated: "Not sure, unless they killed John. Otherwise, I won't meddle in my own business."

Modo nodded: "It's good if you can understand this. The Princess of the Holy Banner is the target you should care about. Even if it has nothing to do with John's death, getting rid of the Princess of the Holy Banner is a good deed for mankind."

Liang Xidao: "It is said that Modo, as a nobleman, you have a pretty good relationship with Earl Blood Moon."

Modo shook his head again and again: "No no. In the daily communication of European nobles, on the surface, everyone has a good relationship with anyone. But I agree with you, the blood moon steward will not betray the blood moon earl so cleanly and thoroughly. Doesn't make sense at all. You're right too. Don't go the way John did. John caused death and he didn't solve the problem. If you bet on the blood moon count, I don't think you can get it right. Answer. You have to pay attention to the objective facts, John's contact with the Holy Banner was only a few months from the beginning to the end, and the information he can grasp is far lower than you."

Modo: "I hate one sentence the most: the wisdom of the ancients is not comparable to that of modern people. I think human beings have always been progressing. John's age has caused him to disconnect from the technological age. He, like me, is separated from the emerging products of technology. Keep the thinking of the age of industrial machinery. As a new generation of detectives, don’t let an old man like me solidify your direction.”

Liang Xi nodded and said modestly: "The experience of the predecessors is also a textbook for future generations to learn from."

Modo was noncommittal. During the conversation between the two, Anka, the adoptive housekeeper of Modo, brought a blanket, kissed Modo on the cheek and left.So the two chatted about Anka.During the period, Liang Xi read some unusual information from Moduo's expression and words.On the one hand, Modo said that he had arranged Anka, but Liang Xi found that he didn't know how to arrange Anka.

……

That night, a royal guest, a prince, visited Modo on behalf of the royal family.Liang Xi doesn't like etiquette, so Anka accompanied Liang Xi and his wife to dinner.During the dinner, Anka told many stories about Modo.Modoben is an adventurer, every cell in his body calls him to explore the unknown world.But the earl and the manor locked his ideals like shackles, so his words of encouragement to young people are: be yourself.Do what you want until you are free.Anka also revealed a piece of information that the young Modo is very keen on participating in civil society activities.

The next morning, capsules for euthanasia were delivered to the estate.Modo did not eat breakfast with Liang Xi and the others, but had a meal outside alone with Anka. During the meal, the staff of the manor gathered one after another.

At 10:30 in the morning, after Modo shook hands and hugged goodbye to everyone, he entered the capsule warehouse under everyone's gaze.As time passed by, Modo never pressed the button, which made the people at the scene extremely sad.Even if it is my own choice, I am a wise old man, and when facing death, I still have nostalgia for the world and life.

More than 20 minutes later, Modo finally pressed the injection button. As the exterior lights came on, everyone embraced and cried.Two full-time staff waited for a few minutes and then went to the capsule warehouse for operation.When Liang Xi saw Modo again, he was already lying in the coffin.There was a contented and happy smile on his face. Obviously, the delay of more than 20 minutes was not because he was afraid of death and did not press the button. He reviewed his life alone and quietly in more than 20 minutes.He is also lucky, he has too many happy things to remember.

In the afternoon, all the children and grandchildren of Modo returned to the villa, and they could see their love for Modo.Perhaps because of the deep feelings, Modo didn't want them to see him leave, and he didn't want them to witness the process of him leaving.

In the evening of that day, the number of guests gradually increased. Some guests even brought their own camping tents, just to attend Modo's funeral tomorrow morning.Among the many guests, Liang Xi met his acquaintance: Ristone.

Riston came alone, very low-key, wearing a camouflage raincoat and carrying a large backpack. His dress like a mountain climber was incompatible with most of the serious and serious guests.Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, it was like daylight near the manor.Ristone originally wanted to camp at the edge of darkness and light in the villa for one night, but he didn't expect a couple to occupy the magpie's nest and bite each other's lips selflessly.Ristone was a little embarrassed, and wanted to change places, but the girl who was startled by her footsteps, the boy looked back and said in surprise, "Listone?"

"Ah?" Ristone: "Why are you here?" I planned to find a place to rest, well, now I have to be polite, maybe I have to chat for a while.Ristone and Liang Xi are different kinds of people.Seeing Liang Xi, Ristone's first consideration was trouble, not suspicion: why is he here?

Liang Xi took Karin's hand and stood up: "My girlfriend, Karin. Karin, he is Ristone. You don't even have a girlfriend?"

Riston wondered why he became angry when he heard him speak, and replied in a demeanor: "There is no need to bring a girlfriend to the funeral, right?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "As long as there is a woman next to you, you can't let you dress so casually to attend a funeral."

Reese Channel: "I just came to say goodbye to an old man, I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

Liang Xi said: "So I speculate that you don't have a girlfriend, because your girlfriend will definitely tell you that something is wrong."

Ristone disdain: "What kind of bullshit theory."

Liang Xi asked, "Then do you have a girlfriend?"

"No." Ristone replied helplessly, and immediately said, "But I will never lack women by my side."

Liang Xi nodded: "Okay, I see, do you want to camp? This place belongs to you."

Seeing Liang Xi's polite tone, Ristone was a little embarrassed: "I can change places."

"No, no." Liang Xi said, "We live in the guest room."

Ristone just couldn't hear what Liang Xi said.During the formal conversation between the two on the cruise ship, Ristone always felt that he was dumb, but he couldn't tell where he was suffering.However, Liang Xi is a polite and frail man, so he has no reason to be violent.
