fog city detective

Fiona lost her spirits instantly: "Oh!"

Liang Xi: "What's wrong?"

Fiona: "It's hard to find such a beautiful and rich stepmother, it's a shame." Obviously Fiona already knew that Petain had an affair with her father.

Liang Xi was speechless: "There is a barrier in our communication. By the way, you and your father have completely different personalities."

Fiona sighed again: "Perhaps it's his meticulous, serious and never-smiling character that made me in the rebellious period portray myself as cute, frank and emotional."

"..." Liang Xi was speechless.

"It's true, he asked me to come home at 10pm, and I stood in the snow outside my house for three hours before I got home at [-]pm. He asked me not to go to the bar, so I went to the bar for the first time. He Don't say it casually...haha..." Fiona said: "I'll check back, I'm afraid how many years I will be sentenced, if possible, I can still be with my dad after I get out of prison."

Liang Xi turned around and shouted, "The noodles are frozen, are you okay?"

Fiona gave Liang Xi a blank look: "I met Karin a few days ago, and you two have a good relationship now."

Liang Xi said: "Sister, I don't dare to chat with you now, for fear that I won't be able to catch your next sentence of thunderstorm."

Fiona paused, rather sad: "Sister? Thirty..."

"Isn't it 31?"

"Haha." Fiona laughed and pointed at Liang Xi, "Hurry up and say something nice to coax me."

"You are the most extraordinary person I have ever met."

"Rare." Fiona didn't know what to think of, and said: "Every choice in life represents a different path. I hope that parallel universes are real. There should be at least one path that I want to take."

Liang Xi said: "Hey, don't be so sentimental. Besides, you haven't been short of a man in the past two or three years, have you? Why are you so sad when you see me?"

Fiona looked at Liang Xi: "How do you know that I have no shortage of men in the past two or three years? You think I took the initiative to be casual that day, so you judge me as a casual girl? Is that how you see me?"

"..." Liang Xi turned his head: "Did it fall into the toilet?"

Fiona sighed softly, picked up the red wine in front of her and drank it.The long-awaited Bobby finally came out of the bathroom, which eased the atmosphere that was about to freeze.

Poppy and Fiona had no language in common, but they were the saddest two at Serra's funeral.In contrast, although Chris is sadder, he is far inferior to Bobby and Fiona.As for Liang Xi, it was even worse. While investigating the cause of Serra's death, he took time to go to the funeral, listened to the priest's prayer and watched the coffin buried before leaving.

Bobby and Fei stood in front of Serra's tomb for a long time, unwilling to leave. It was not until the sky rained and the bodyguard reminded Bobby that he invited Fiona to have a drink.During the drink, the two didn't talk to each other, they just stared at the cemetery in a daze.Sitting in the coffee shop opposite the cemetery for three hours, the two did not talk for more than ten sentences.

Fiona said, "When I see you, I look up to Sela."

Bobby said helplessly, "Me too."

Speechless for a while, Liang Xi said, "I'm going to the bathroom." Hurry up to eat, and hurry up to leave.

As soon as Liang Xi left, the awkward silence turned into silence. Bobby had nothing to say, and said to Fiona, "Don't worry, we are doing our best to investigate the cause of Sera's death, and we will definitely bring the murderer to justice."

Fiona nodded: "Oh." Her tone was perfunctory.

After another moment of silence, Fiona recalled more emotionally than Bobby looked forward to the future revenge: "She can be said to be half my teacher. If we have ten questions, I ask her for nine, she I will only ask one advice from me. The sum of what she and I said when we met in reality is not as much as what we say on the Internet in a day. The funniest thing is that at first we went out shopping and drinking coffee, obviously by each other’s side , I prefer to find excuses to leave and use mobile phone messages to communicate. Of course, I mean the more personal aspects. For example, she regrets missing the red bag from the store just now, and used the excuse of going to the bathroom to send a message to ask me."

Fiona said, "It got better after that."

Fiona talked endlessly about the past between herself and Serra. After the end, she looked forward to seeing Bobby hope to remember with her.

Bobby thought for a long time: "It's easy for me and her... Did you fall into the toilet?" It was too uncomfortable, and the relationship between myself and Sera was too uncomfortable.He is just a boy who has a crush on Sera.In case Fiona told herself that she had never heard Sera mention her, it would not be too embarrassing to Aquaman.If Fiona told herself that Sera had always liked her, but was afraid of being hurt and did not accept herself, wouldn't she be very sad tonight?

Fiona went crazy: "Are you two like this?" You're so pissed off, can you have a good chat?Call for reinforcements every now and then.

Emotional people are easily commanded by emotions. In a rage, Fiona stopped eating, stood up and left.What's more, the hypocritical persuasion and apology of Liang Xi and Bobby who came out of the bathroom made Fiona want to kick them both.

After Fiona left, the bodyguards took a brand new laptop from the trunk of the car and connected it to the Internet with the help of a bodyguard.After discussing with Bobby, Liang Xi and Bobby sent an email in the name of Rose to the head of the criminal investigation department of the Southern District, Baker: Sera is a member of the Orphan Society's ore group.

After sending the email, the two ate, drank and settled the bill and were about to leave. Liang Xi received a call from Romeo from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Northern District: "I heard that Sera is your friend?"

Liang Xi replied, "Huh?"

"No?" Romeo said, "It's fine if it's not. I'll contact my boss and decide to hire you temporarily as an interpreter for the Criminal Investigation Department of the North District."

Liang Xi understood. The transfer of this case from Baker in the South District to Romeo in the North District indirectly shows the importance attached to this case by the judiciary. After all, Romeo is currently one of the best detectives in the London judiciary. The rate is extremely high.Romeo probably just heard about the email, and after learning that Serra had a background in the Orphan Association, he immediately thought of himself who knew more about the Orphan Association.

Liang Xi said, "Are you on duty now?"

Romeo said: "My wife is preparing dinner, you come here together."

Liang Xi: "I just finished eating."

Romeo said: "It just so happens that I have just finished eating, so come over for tea."

Liang Xi smiled: "Okay, send me the address."

Bobby leaned over to the microphone: "I'm going too."

"Which one?"

Liang Xi said, "Bobby."

"Oh, is he Sierra's friend?"

Bobby replied: "Is... or is it not? No." He wanted to answer yes, but was pinched by the thigh, and immediately changed his words.

Romeo couldn't tell, he already knew the relationship between Liang Xi, Bobby and Sera after receiving the news, and said: "Okay, let's come and have tea together." He also wanted to deepen his understanding of the case from the two mouths. .

If Bobby and Liang Xi were Sierra's friends, it would be inconvenient to intervene in the investigation.

……

As an old criminal policeman, Romeo is very free to go to work, he can go to the Criminal Investigation Department if he wants to, and he doesn't have to go if he doesn't want to.When encountering difficult cases, Romeo likes to fish in the river near his home, sometimes it takes a whole day to fish.His house has good fishing conditions and is less than 200 meters from the mouth of a tributary that enters the Thames.He was fishing, but when he received a call and learned that Sera was a member of the Orphan Association, he checked the time and decided to ask Liang Xi to have another dinner.Later, I heard that Bobby was also there, and it was just right, so let's come and drink tea together.

Romeo's rhythm is very slow, the couple first received Liang Bo and his wife together, and Luo's wife learned that Liang Xi knew his daughter Juliet during the chat, so they chatted further.In the end, Romeo drives her away under the pretext of making biscuits.It can be seen that Luo's wife is very enthusiastic, talkative and kind.Talking too much does not mean being long-winded. Long-winded is to repeat one or several themes in case the other party is not impressed enough.People who talk a lot are different. They are ready to jump to the next topic before the end of one topic, and they speak faster.There is no need to worry about being cold when interacting with them. He can follow up with whatever he starts.The most powerful of these are not polite greetings, but an instinctive expression of character.

Generally speaking, people who talk a lot are good people.Cheerful personality, no scheming, getting along with them is a very comfortable thing.There are also disadvantages, that is, there are too many words, and it is difficult to have a moment of peace with them.Romeo told Liang Xi that he and Luo's wife were college classmates, and Luo's wife was a member of the university's fencing club. Once, he met Luo's wife and introduced the fencing club, and then walked and chatted all the way, chatting from the east to the west of the university, walking distance After more than 10 kilometers, Romeo finally laughed out of anger.

Luo's wife asked Romeo if she hated her because someone criticized her for talking too much in person.Romeo is a man of style, of course he denied and praised Luo's wife.The next day, Luo's wife took the initiative to invite Romeo to watch the club's performance. Romeo, who was not sociable, found that he didn't have to worry about how to answer the conversation at all, and soon the two were together without shame.

All these have developed Romeo's character. He can keep a calm mind in a very noisy environment, not be influenced by the noise at all, and has an excellent mentality.Perhaps it is also because of Luo's wife's character that Romeo has achieved the title of detective in the field of criminal investigation in London.

Romeo said: "You don't have to digest what she said. For example, today she said that the anti-inflammatory drugs are in the cabinet. You ask where the anti-inflammatory drugs are the next day? She will not blame you, saying that she told you yesterday that the anti-inflammatory drugs are in the cabinet. She will Said: "It's in the cabinet, I'll go get it, but you can't find it. What's wrong with you? Is it because I put too much chili today? The main reason is that I added a little more today. Besides, mutton doesn't taste good without chili. I Grandma...you don't need to worry about it, she has already taken the medicine and water for you while you were talking, and watched you do your own thing after taking it."

Liang Xi smiled and said, "No need to explain, I think your wife is very good."

Romeo chuckled and said, "Sierra's case was handed over to me three days ago, and Baker, who originally hosted the case, took half a month of maternity leave. Just before I called you, I just received a call from the Southern District. On the phone call from the Criminal Investigation Department, an informant broke the news that Sera is most likely a member of the Orphan Association."

Liang Xi was surprised: "The Lonely Elderly Society? Serra?" He stepped on Bobby's little toe and turned it around.

Bobby grinned: "No way?" His expression was exaggerated, but passable.

Liang Xi asked: "What informant? Is it reliable?"

Romeo shook his head: "I don't know. The person in charge told me that the information should be reliable, but it is inconvenient to disclose the information of the informant."

"The Orphan Society." Liang Xi stood up and paced the room: "That means that the person who kidnapped Sera was probably a member of the Orphan Society. He wanted Sera to help, but he didn't want Sera to be retaliated against. That's why he played the game." Fake kidnapping. Selah should call the police after returning home. Could it be that the kidnappers thought that Selah had other ideas for not calling the police, so they silenced Selah?"

Romeo said: "I don't think so. The Lonely Elderly Society is a criminal gang that is rarely seen in Europe with spiritual cohesion. They won't kill their own members so easily. I don't think it was the blood moon. I want to learn more about it. , I think the best way is to have a conversation with the orphans. I think they also hope to catch Serra's killer."

Liang Xi suddenly realized: "Fanny?"

Romeo nodded.Romeo knows that Fanny is suspected to be the boss of the Orphan Association, but as a policeman, he can't talk nonsense, and he can't file a case.Fanny and Liang Xi know each other and have contacts. Romeo hopes to interview Fanny through Liang Xi.

Chapter 6 and Two Tea Party

This is what Liang Xi wanted, so he picked up the phone and contacted: "Fanny!"

Fanny said, "Is something wrong?"

Liang Xi said, "I want to chat with you."

Fanny asked, "What are you talking about?"

Liang Xi said: "Entrusted by the Criminal Investigation Department of the North District, I hope to meet with you in a small group alone, and have an unrecorded conversation about Sera's murder."

Romeo raised his thumb, yes, that's what he meant.

Fanny was very surprised: "Why me? Does Sierra have anything to do with me?"

Liang Xi looked at Romeo, and Romeo turned on the mobile phone to use the loudspeaker function: "Miss Fanny, I am Detective Romeo of the North District Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. I just received a tip that Serra is a member of the Orphan Society."

Fanny replied, "I don't know the Orphan Church, and I don't know Serra."

Liang Xi said: "Then let me use another excuse, that is, Bobby misses you."

Bobby, the tool man, cooperated and said, "Yeah."

"This?" Fanny thought for a moment: "I miss Bobby too, but unfortunately I'm in Spain now. Is it convenient to go to your house for tea tomorrow afternoon?"

Bobby wondered: "It's not very convenient... But since you gave me face, Fanny, I must give you face. Together tomorrow? Romeo, Liang Xi, are you free?"

"Have."

Fanny said, "Okay, see you tomorrow afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Xi and Romeo looked at Bobby together: "What do you mean it's not convenient? You have treasure at home?"

Bobby said helplessly, "My mother is at home."

Liang Xi gloated and introduced to Romeo Poppy's promise to marry his mother. Romeo asked Poppy: "The reason why you don't want to get married is because you don't feel guilty when you sleep with other women?"

Bobby denies: "My parents are my negative example."

"No, no." Romeo said: "Based on your conditions, you have almost unlimited choices. You can choose a woman who is tolerant, tolerant, loyal, and understands the general situation. Believe me, such women are not considered Many, but there must be, they are very obedient to their parents. Your opposite is your father, and your father has a family outside, which makes you unacceptable in your heart, but you have no right to blame anyone as a Neptune. I Think your problem is your morality." Play casually without getting married, no moral pressure.If you play casually when you get married, you will feel pressure in your heart, and you will not be happy when you play.Morality is usually instilled in oneself, a kind of restriction on oneself.

Many people fear the law, the consequences and punishment of their actions, and they do not have a self-restraining morality.From Romeo's point of view, Aquaman Poppy's moral value is not very low to a certain extent.Romeo cited a real case. A burglar who burglarized found that the hostess was poisoned and unconscious because of a chimney problem. The thief chose to call the police instead of leaving after looting the property.

Liang Xi believes that burglars themselves are dangerous, and they are usually psychologically prepared to conflict with their masters.The call to the police does not mean that the thief holds moral values, but only a temporary goodwill of the thief.Liang Xi believes that when a person saves others when he is endangering others, it can only be said that the bad person has a trace of kindness left, and it cannot be said that he is a good person.Otherwise, if you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha immediately.A person who does good deeds all his life does not become a Buddha, but a bad person suddenly wakes up after killing thousands of people, and he becomes a Buddha.It's not fair.

In ancient culture, there is also the "distortion" of strong women, which is not as good as the saying of old chickens.A good person who does a bad thing once is a bad person, and a bad person who does a good thing once is a good person.Perhaps because of the different cultures of the living countries, Liang Xi could not understand this theory.

This is how Liang Xi and Romeo chat. Everyone holds the same or different views on things, expresses their views normally, and debates with each other.But neither side has any intention of changing the other's view.To put it bluntly: it doesn't make sense.But the chat itself is meaningless.

Bobby can only respond with a helpless attitude towards the expansion of the topic that originally belonged to him by the two.

……

At around two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Liang Xi and Romeo met and arrived at Bobby's mansion.Daisy, the housekeeper, took the two of them to the living room in embarrassment. Liang Xi saw that Bo Mu and Bobby were both in the living room, but they didn't talk to each other, and they seemed to ignore each other because they were far away.Poppy said on the phone earlier that he had managed to get his mother to leave.Bobby didn't expect Bo Mu to kill the carbine and block himself in the living room.

From the point of view of Bo's mother, there is nothing wrong with the whole matter. Bo's father's family outside has seriously threatened Bo's status and the future control of the family.She only hated Bobby who clearly held the power, but didn't take it seriously.If something unexpected happens in the future, Bo's father's illegitimate child may become the heir.Ordinary people would fight to the death for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, not to mention the Clement family, the most wealthy family in London.Competing for talents is in line with human nature. In all kinds of power struggles, blood relationship can be said to be the most important yardstick.

To Liang Xi's surprise, Bo Mu's attitude towards him has changed a lot.After seeing Liang Xi, Bo Mu even took the initiative to greet him and asked Daisy to prepare refreshments.For a time, Liang Xi wondered if Bo Mu was going to poison himself.It was only later that I found out that under the guidance of an expert, Bo Mu conducted a comprehensive investigation of the people around Bo Bi, first checking whether there is a suitable woman, and second checking whether she has an affair with Liang Xi.The investigation agency objectively informed Bomu of the situation.Experts pointed out that if Bo Mu can ask Liang Xi to help, maybe the current predicament can be solved.Because experts believe that Liang Xi has a certain influence on Bobby.

Of course Bo Mu does not accept the conclusion that Liang Xi is not a bad person.The expert persuaded Bo Mu that on the surface, Liang Xi is a down and out person, but in fact he is a very powerful and influential person. It will not hurt to let Bo Mu try to contact Liang Xi.

Bomu's attempt frightened Liang Xi. As the investigation agency said, Bomo was polite to Liang Xi, and Liang Xi was ten times more polite to Bomo, and even politely accused Bobby.There's no way, Liang Xi can't stand creatures like parents, it's okay if you play hard.If you want to play soft, you will be in trouble. If I don't give you face, your son must have a problem.My mother is fierce to you, you ignore my mother, I can understand.My mother treats you very well, but you let her have a hot face and a cold butt, I can't stand it as a son.Thinking along, my mother treats you so well, how can you speak ill of her behind her back?

Fanny then arrived and greeted Pomo politely for a while.Bobby asked everyone to go to the movie hall on the second floor and ordered Daisy to bring refreshments. They had something important to talk about.Liang Xi, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, really rebelled. Before Bomo got angry, he explained to Bomo that detective Romeo was investigating Serra's murder. The reason Bobby cared about this case was because Serra was related to several subsidiaries of the Clement Group. , may involve some shady businesses.

Bo Mu listened very comfortably, and generously said that you should go to work, she also wants to go back to her home, and let Liang Xi, Romeo and Fanny go to her home for dinner at night.Everyone declined with an uncertain time, and the pleasantries ended happily.As long as there is no conflict of interest, there may not be benefits to be gained from being courteous to others, but there is generally no disadvantage.

……

Tea and snacks are delivered to the grass in the backyard.The biggest highlight of Bobby’s mansion is the backyard. The edge of the backyard is a cliff, there are roads and rivers below, and a little further away is the commercial center, which covers almost all the natural and architectural beauties of London, a typical sign of a rich area.

After everyone drank a cup of tea and commented on the scenery, Fanny reminded: "Everyone, you can get to the point."

Romeo slowly took out the reading glasses and put them on, took out the notepad inside the suit, and took out a pen: "Miss Fanny, first of all thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule..."

Liang Xi reminded: "Skip."

Romeo nodded. His notepad recorded the question he wanted to ask. Romeo looked at Fanny: "Miss Fanny, what is Thresh's reaction to Serra's death?" The question Liang Xi suggested was too good.

Fanny hesitated: "Why do you think Thresh was not involved in the kidnapping?"

Romeo replied: "Referring to previous data analysis, it can be found that Thresh of the Ore Group treats his subordinates as people, while the Orphan Association treats its members as tools. Therefore, we all believe that Serra's kidnapping is just a unilateral act of the Orphan Association, not Hammer. Stone behavior."

These few questions seemed to be asked but answered, and they kept making routines, testing the other party on the premise of assumptions.It was difficult for Fanny to get around the question unless she refused to answer.Emotional elements were added to it, which increased Fanny's anger or guilt, destroying her rational thinking space.

Fanny opened her mouth to refute, but she didn't know how to say it. After a long time, she said, "The lonely old man's family has a big business and a lot of people. It's not that simple."

Before Fanny came to power, the Orphan Society belonged to the period of entrepreneurship and harvest.Ten years ago, the Orphan Association began to have too many tails to lose. The plate was very large, and there were people doing things, but it was a criminal organization after all, and it was particularly eye-catching when it was difficult to manage carefully.Each supervisor has great authority and different personalities, and there is no uniform constraint and rule, which makes some supervisors and various forces have hatred.

The ore group has a small number of people, does not need to be responsible for the market, is flexible, and does not need to consider strategy.After Chris took over the ore group, the main activity area of ​​the ore group was in London, and the judiciary in London did not have much interest in the ore group, which was also due to the limited destructive power of the ore group.

Liang Xi rounded things up and asked, "Who are you cooperating with to attack Blood Moon?"

Fanny: "Nobody."

Liang Xi asked back, "Really?"

Robert said: "Miss Fanny, according to the information we have obtained, there is a technical camp for five to seven people in the Orphan Association. It should be around 10 years. With the development of the Internet, the Orphan Association will select gifted orphans for training. Professional training, Serra is one of them, right?"

Fanny didn't deny it: "She's the best."

Robert said: "Is there any benefit to the lonely old man by attacking the blood moon?"

Fanny thought for a while: "Shouldn't you investigate the cause of Sera's death? Why are you keen to inquire about the Orphan Association?"
