fog city detective

The three of Liang Xi couldn't understand at all.

Hannah said: "Someone doesn't want to kill me, but I want him to die. Someone wants to kill me, but I don't want him to die. It's the stupidest way to die together, and the best way is to seek common ground while reserving differences. I know that tomorrow either you will visit someone, or Someone will come to visit you, please take this sentence to him. Hopefully we can reach a consensus, and please give us a little more time."

Liang Xidao: "I understand that Miss Hannah is generous and likes to repay grievances with kindness, but I prefer to repay grievances with straightness. Before today, it was easy to say, we are all good friends, but if someone wants to kill me, I will definitely do it first other people."

Hannah said: "Hehe, do you think in your heart that he is really the culprit behind the attack on you today? You should know very well that he did these things with the determination to die. Drugs control their masters."

Only then did Bobby understand: "Blood Moon Steward."

Hannah looked at Bobby in surprise, don't you know?

Liang Xi said: "I'm sorry, he is not a person of the same dimension, so ignore him."

Hannah ignored Liang Xi's ridicule and asked, "Do you think it's him?"

Liang Xi didn't know. To be honest, he subjectively thought that it would not be the blood moon steward, but from an objective analysis, only the blood moon steward was suspected.

Hannah stood up: "Peace is the most important thing, I hope everyone can work together. I believe that the God of Wealth will heal everyone's hurt hearts."

Bobby: "I..."

Hannah interrupted: "Maybe the fief will be bigger?"

Bobby spread his hands: "I wish the world peace."

Hannah forced a smile, nodded to everyone and left.

After Hannah left, there was silence in the ward for a while. Romeo lay down and looked at the ceiling and asked, "Blood Moon Steward? He hired murderers to kill us? If it was him, then our analysis was wrong."

Liang Xi agreed: "We speculate that the blood moon steward prepared for the worst, and even dedicated his head to the blood moon earl. It seems that it does not make much sense for him to hire someone to kill us. In addition, according to what Liu Zhen said, the other party used no one to kill us. The machine determines the position and speed of the car, and feeds the information back to the truck on the ground in real time. Bobby, how many doubts are there?"

Bobby pondered for a while and said: "The speed of the car is not slow, and errors are prone to occur."

Romeo said: "The killer controls the speed and direction of the car. According to our speed at that time, the killer has a fault tolerance of about one second. Besides, Liang Xi, what you said is not entirely correct. It is not the drone that feeds back information to the driver, but the drone that calculates the information through the screen. , Give the driver an order."

Liang Xi nodded: "I accept. Doubt [-]: How can Blood Moon Steward hire targeted killers in a short period of time? Trucks, drones, support ships, oxygen tanks, propellers, I don't believe any killer will Prepare such a kit specially."

Liang Xi said: "Doubt [-]: Tactical arrangements, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles to cooperate with such operations rarely appear among civilian killers."

Romeo said: "It's the bacteria system. Their daily training includes ground-air cooperation drills. They have all the tools in this case. Why are there people with bacteria?"

Liang Xi didn't say a word, he didn't intend to tell Romeo and Bobby that the deep sea demon was in the general staff.He was wondering why the deep sea demon wanted to protect the blood moon steward?One may be due to a reason that I don't know, and the other may be that the deep sea demon misunderstood the real culprit he deduced.However, after a comprehensive analysis of the attack on the Blood Moon Castle, the Blood Moon Steward is very suspicious.So Liang Xi favored a reason he didn't know.

Bobby stared at Liang Xi and said, "The most suspicious thing is that Liang Xi seems to have known in advance that it was the fungus recipe."

Liang Xi laughed, and Bobby said, "He's about to lie."

Liang Xi looked at Bobby speechlessly, and Bobby smiled: "You should be very happy to have a friend who understands you so well."

Liang Xi said: "You two, this topic ends here, please don't talk nonsense outside."

Romeo said: "Have you always suspected that a certain character in the fungus is a bad guy? So you are not surprised that something happened."

Liang Xidao: "I'm serious, just by discussing this topic, we have a way to kill. We learn to play dumb on this issue. Why don't we find the killer driver?"

Bobby raised his hand: "I know, we immediately stared at all the ships in the nearby area, and the killer couldn't get on the ship."

Liang Xi said: "That's right. The problem is how does the killer know that the sky helicopter is not looking for him, but the ship? Besides, out of survival instinct, even if there is an alien spaceship in the sky, he has to board it."

Romeo said: "After thinking about it, the problem is very simple. After the killer arrived at the designated location, he found that the ship was not at the receiving point. The ship saw the helicopter and found that it was being targeted by the helicopter. They drove away from the receiving point. The helicopter looked at the ship. But it is very difficult to find a floating person in rough seas. From the search of sea and air accidents over the years, it can be seen that there are basically no examples of people being found first, and usually the wreckage of the plane or luggage is found first. "

Only the head can be exposed to the surface of the water for a long time in the sea.It is more conspicuous to wear a life jacket, but it is impossible for a killer to wear a life jacket.After the pick-up ship leaves, the killer will sink into the sea when his oxygen is exhausted and his physical strength is exhausted.If it is not eaten by fish, it will take several days to resurface, but due to ocean currents, his body may appear far away from the place where he died.

Romeo said: "Isn't this an opportunity? Let's contact the bacterial side to find out if any active personnel have disappeared recently. If not, we can expand the list to include soldiers who have retired in the past three years."

Liang Xi said: "Romeo, I just said it. I'm not joking, and I don't want to be joking."

Romeo was a little helpless: "Okay."

……

At [-] o'clock the next morning, Liang Xi and Romeo went to Brighton's Mist Castle under the guard of the Anti-Terrorism Office. This kind of castle was the official fiefdom of the Earl of Blood Moon.What surprised Liang Xi was that it was not the blood moon steward who greeted him, but the eldest son of the earl and the castle steward.Liang Xi asked, the eldest son explained that you will know in a while, and everyone is waiting for you.

There are quite a few people in the living room, most of whom have ID cards.The servants were blocked by security guards.Liang Xi and Romeo knew more than half of the guests, including a member of the royal family, a marquis, and two earls.The Earl of Blood Moon was sitting in a wheelchair with a hanging needle, his head tilted to the left, followed by a doctor and a nurse.In addition, Brighton local detectives were also at the scene.The most important figure, Blood Moon Butler, changed out of his butler clothes, wearing a neat handmade suit and sitting alone on a stool instead of a sofa or a chair.

The eldest son introduced Liang Xi and Romeo to everyone, saying that they came for the case.Before Liang Xi and the others sat down, the inspector first explained the ins and outs.

Earl Blood Moon once recuperated in Canada and left body samples in Canada.A few days ago, the earl's personal doctor thought that the earl's condition was strange, so he contacted the Canadian agency to test the earl's body samples, and found sedative drugs for the treatment of mental illness.This type of drug can cause short-term amnesia, and if taken for a long time, it will cause irreversible damage to the human brain.

The Earl's affairs were all handled by the Blood Moon Steward, and the Earl's family trusted him very much. After being reminded by his personal doctor, the eldest son questioned the Blood Moon Steward about this matter last night, and the Blood Moon Steward confessed.At the request of the blood moon steward, people from the aristocratic circle were invited to come here today to be a witness, so that the blood moon steward can clarify this matter in front of everyone.

People have already arrived, but the blood moon steward said that there are two friends still on the way, so let everyone stay safe.

Liang Xi and Robert knew that the so-called story was completely deceptive, but the situation of Earl Blood Moon was a fact, and it was impossible for you to attribute the crime to a victim.At least on the bright side, the Earl is a victim, and even now he is still in a state of insanity.

6 Chapter Thirty

After all the people arrived, the Blood Moon Steward sat on the stool, calmly talking about his own story without being surprised.In the story, he explained that he had been dissatisfied with the earl a long time ago.Even though he assisted the earl in dealing with blood moon affairs, the earl never respected him.So with a grudge in his heart, he made a plan. He used drugs and lies to control the earl, and became the acting elder as the earl's client.

According to the plan made by the blood moon steward, in the blood moon meeting, the black moon mercenary group he hired would attack the castle and kill all the elders.But things went as planned, and only two elders died in the end.

After learning that the two famous detectives Liang Xi and Romeo were involved in the case, the blood moon steward knew that he would be found out sooner or later, so he hired killers to attack the two on the seawall outside the castle yesterday, but the result was a little bit different.Therefore, when the eldest son questioned him last night, the desperate Blood Moon Steward showed his cards to the earl's eldest son, admitting that he had drugged the earl.

There are many small stories and many details of life in this story. The blood moon housekeeper talked about it for four to ten minutes in an unhurried, orderly manner.No one interrupted, no one chimed in.Everyone respected his right to speak, and asked questions after he finished speaking.But the blood moon steward said very detailed and specific, basically no one has any questions.

After the Blood Moon Steward finished speaking, Romeo asked, "Is this considered surrender?"

The Blood Moon Steward replied: "If possible."

Romeo looked at Liang Xi, and Liang Xi nodded.Romeo took out the handcuffs from his handbag and was about to step forward. The local detective in Brighton said: "Inspector Romeo, you are the victim involved in the case, you can't take him away. Let me do it."

Romeo didn't object, and the inspector stepped forward to handcuff the blood moon steward, and escorted the blood moon steward away with his subordinates.This result was unexpected but not unexpected. If it was not unexpected, Liang Xi had already thought that the blood moon steward would sacrifice himself.The accident is that Coster or Hannah's attitude is more friendly. They all hope that the culprit will not be held accountable, and instead seek deeper cooperation with the culprit.

However, when Liang Xi failed to explain the information conveyed by Kao Han and the two of them clearly, Blood Moon Steward chose to blew himself up.Maybe he missed the opportunity, maybe he didn't intend to cooperate with them.

The eldest son of the earl sent the earl back to his room, and he received the guests to the garden for tea. Depending on the situation, everyone wanted to have dinner together at noon.Liang Xi and Romeo shied away on the grounds of business affairs, and the eldest son of the earl personally sent them to the gate of the main building, asked the housekeeper to follow them, and sent Liang Xi's convoy to the intersection of the manor.

Pete and Bobby didn't show up today because of their injuries, and the chief bodyguard sent Liang Xi's old friend Peake to them.After the car drove towards Brighton for one kilometer, Liang Xi said, "Pike, pull over."

The car stopped at the edge of the sparse woods, Liang Xi and Romeo got out of the car, stepped on the leaves and strolled into the woods together.Although Liu Zhen felt that there should be nothing more to do today, he just felt that.Agents from the Office of Counter-Terrorism fanned out and escorted the two of them to a seat on a rock in the woods.Although the detectives didn't know what Liang Xi and Romeo did in the earl's living room, it could be seen from their expressions that they were unhappy and solemn.

"He admitted one more account and one less account." Liang Xi said: "He shouldn't accept yesterday's account. He couldn't do what he did yesterday, which only shows that he has a connection with the deep sea demon. He is He didn't know about our assassination beforehand or after the fact, and I don't think he was involved in the assassination."

Romeo said: "The assassination failed, the plea show begins."

Liang Xidao: "My doubt is: both Coster and Hannah are trying to express goodwill to the blood moon steward, hinting at us euphemistically, and I believe they also reminded the blood moon steward: let the past go, we can continue to cooperate. In In this case, why does the Blood Moon Steward plead guilty? Coster and Hannah don’t want the Blood Moon Steward to go to jail.”

Romeo said: "That's not right. During our investigation, we already knew that Coster and Earl Blood Moon had a good relationship, and Earl Blood Moon wanted to recommend Coster to become an elder."

Liang Xi said: "Don't you think the atmosphere of the meeting today is very strange? The earl has many children, but only the eldest son is present. The eldest son is like the current owner of the castle."

Romeo suddenly realized: "The Earl of Blood Moon will not appear again, and the eldest son of Blood Moon will appear as the new elder. But the new elder has a one-year internship period, and he basically can't do anything within a year."

Liang Xi continued to explain, saying: "Another piece of news, four of the five elders of Blood Moon are in the probationary period. Hannah has only joined the Presbyterian Church for a few months, and she is also in the probationary period. It was only because she was too strong before, so Everyone gave her the opportunity to speak and make proposals." Two elders died in the attack, and the surviving elders changed their successors and sold the position of the blood moon elder for 10 yuan.Both Hannah and the Earl's eldest son belonged to the new elders.

"That is to say, all five elders are now in the internship period, and Blood Moon cannot change any rules in the past year. Therefore, it is impossible for the next elders to be established within this year." Romeo said: "No wonder Coste doesn't want Blood Moon The housekeeper is under arrest. And Hannah just isn't interested in wasting too much time on a project."

Liang Xi nodded: "That's right. The five trainee elders only have the power to supervise the Blood Moon management team. The most interesting thing is that if the Earl is in power, he is the only elder with power."

"So it's not the earl." Romeo: "Someone found out that the earl was going to propose Coster to join the elders, so Li Daitao froze. The contradiction is that the eldest son of the earl is obviously an insider. Assuming he is a bastard, he and the blood moon steward can make such a joint arrangement. However, there is not only one insider in the family. The only thing that can explain the contradiction is that the eldest son of the earl, the blood moon steward, and even others are dissatisfied with the decision made by the blood moon earl, but they cannot hurt the blood moon earl, and I couldn't change his mind, so I came up with this method."

Romeo talked more and more vigorously, and said: "A noble family that can maintain its scale today has the most basic sense of honor, which means that what the Earl of Blood Moon is going to do is likely to be contrary to the interests of the United Kingdom...Fang Fang? Could it be... "

Liang Xi put one hand on Romeo's arm: "Hey, help yourself, stop here."

Romeo finally confirmed that Liang Xi had already had an opinion on the incident, and he knew it was a very dangerous thing.Liang Xi stopped himself not because he didn't trust himself, but because of danger.If you are in danger, you will also put Liang Xi in danger.

Romeo: "If we get rid of us, the Blood Moon Butler can continue to play. Now we can only show our cards."

Liang Xi said: "So it was Blood Moon Steward who asked someone to attack us."

Romeo sighed and nodded: "Okay, yes."

Liang Xi said: "Even if there is someone behind the scenes, it is only the eldest son of the earl. He is a treacherous and evil person, and he is a deep sea demon."

Romeo nodded with a wry smile, and asked, "When did you know about this?"

Liang Xi said: "When Karin went to the United States to study, she took time to travel to Canada and discovered the medicine used by the earl. At that time, I thought that the blood moon steward wanted to kill the earl. When the earl returned to England, I knew the intention of the blood moon steward. As for more things, I am making arrangements, if I die, then I need to ask you to take risks."

Romeo followed Liang Xi and lowered his voice: "What is the direction?"

Liang Xi smiled bitterly: "You can comfort me: you will be fine."

Romeo: "Prepare for the worst."

Liang Xi leaned closer to Romeo's ear: "The biggest suspect is Phil, or someone like Phil. I haven't been able to find a breakthrough. After this attack on us, my chance has come."

Romeo was shocked, but he didn't ask again: "I'll go to the police station to see the blood moon steward later, should we prepare our lines first?"

"I don't think it is necessary. We can doubt him, we can doubt the earl's eldest son. This will make it easier to win people's trust." Liang Xi explained the core point: "We can and must suspect that the earl's eldest son is behind the scenes, but the matter is very important. We don't have any evidence, so we can't talk about it to other people or in public."

……

When Liang Xi and Romeo arrived at the Brighton Police Station, Millet from the Internal Affairs Bureau was already waiting at the police station.After the meeting, Millett did not exchange pleasantries, but issued an injunction: Since Liang Xi and Romeo are the victims of this case, they are not allowed to contact all relevant personnel in this case from now on.

Liang Xi was already a bit old-fashioned now, and took Millitt's shoulders: "Brother, I can give you the name of the policeman who collected the money, or I don't have to."

Millet was stunned, and rolled his eyes and said, "When you want to betray someone, even if you have to ask me for money, you will betray him." To Liang Xi's values, betraying someone is a very serious matter.I can't report this person, even if you give me Jinshan, I won't report it.I want to report this person, even if you give me Jinshan, I will still report.People like Liang Xi are sometimes called old-fashioned, and they are also called personality. People in the circle prefer to call it professional.Maybe Liang Xi's city will become deeper and deeper in the future, but this society will not smooth the edges and corners of Liang Xi. He seems harmless, but he still has thorns all over his body.

For example, a little girl went to work in the company. During the tea time in the afternoon, she found that all the colleagues in the company did not drink milk tea from store A.After inquiry, I learned that this store A had a dispute with a colleague of their company, and the colleague publicized it to everyone. Because of the colleague's face, everyone no longer buys milk tea from this milk tea shop.But the little girl likes to drink milk tea from store A. Will she stick to her own decision, or obey the collective will?

Incidentally, there is a joke.One plane ran out of fuel, and the captain told the Americans that there is freedom and democracy below, so the Americans jumped off.The captain said to the Frenchman that there are wines and beauties below, so the Frenchman jumped down.The captain looked at the people in XX country and asked, why didn't you jump when everyone else jumped?So the man jumped down too.

Although he was seen through, Liang Xi still wanted to save face: "Buy me a cup of coffee."

This step must be given. Millet asked someone to buy a few cups of American coffee from nearby, while Liang Xi asked Romeo to speak for himself.Romeo and Millet went to the side to talk in detail about someone in their group collecting money, and they had already identified themselves.After listening to it, Millett felt that it was very necessary to recruit a professional detective to the Internal Affairs Bureau.This is too awesome. I accidentally discovered that someone was collecting money, and dug out the name by the way while doing the work.

Liang Xi was not idle. He communicated with the Brighton Police Station through Liu Zhen, hoping to have a private chat with Butler Blood Moon.But Liu Zhen's name is not easy to use in Brighton, not only it is not easy to use, but it is not helpful.After the Blood Moon attack, Brighton notified the Office of Counter Terrorism that their guns were to be inspected and their records to be taken.Roger replied: We are very busy, if you are free, come to London.

Seeing Liu Zhen coming out of the director's office disheveledly, the accompanying detectives grabbed the gun and said, "Don't you give our boss face? Boss, you wait, I'll blow the whistle and tell the brothers to take the Brighton police station down."

Liu Zhen unceremoniously punched him in the abdomen, walked up to Liang Xi and apologized, "Kick me out."

Liang Xi was surprised, so arrogant?

Liu Zhendao: "However, what he said is not unreasonable. This case involves a wide range of people, and it is a case that many people pay attention to. In addition, this can be regarded as a scandal in the aristocratic circle, and everything must be handled impartially. Besides, people from the Internal Affairs Bureau have come. , the director did not dare to stand up to the wind and commit crimes."

Liang Xi said: "Then Romeo and I want to meet the detective in charge? There are clues."

Liu Zhen nodded: "That's no problem." The detectives handling the case could not let go of any clue.

Liang Xi had to send a signal to the Deep Sea Demon: Neither Liang Xi nor Romeo thought that there were other people in the Deep Sea Demon.To determine whether it is true or not, it is necessary to fully investigate whether there is a deeper bond between the earl's eldest son and the blood moon steward, and whether there are conflicts and misunderstandings between the blood moon steward and the blood moon earl.

The investigators carefully recorded the nonsense of the two detectives. Although Romeo knew that doing so was against professional ethics, he also knew that it was impossible to dig out big fish from the blood moon steward.What if the detective was good enough?Can the deep sea demon be tracked down based on real clues?Then he must die on the way.Liang Xi believed that to deal with the deep-sea demons, he had to capture the thief first and capture the king first, so as to catch him by surprise.One move cannot be fatal, but the next move will kill him.

Romeo agreed with Liang Xi in theory, and at the same time he asked Liang Xi a question: "Do you need evidence?"

Liang Xi asked this question, and with the evidence, he could solve the deep sea demon through legal channels.Relying on my own subjective speculation and verification, if there is a high probability that it is correct, I can only complete revenge by buying murder.In this way, the countless bad deeds done by the deep-sea demon are annihilated. This behavior seems to be not revenge, but to help him fulfill his reputation as a heroic general, and he himself will become the target of judicial pursuit.Even if the police can't catch him, he will bear the notoriety of killing a patriotic general.

Seeing that Liang Xi was deep in thought for a long time, Romeo saw Millet approaching the two of them from the side, and said to Liang Xi, "Call me if you need it."

Liang Xi nodded.

Millett came over and asked, "Is the record ready? I have to supervise you to leave."

Liang Xi looked at Millet: "You treat the guests to lunch."

Millett shrugged and said no problem, as long as you get out and stay out of the case, anything will be fine.He forgot what it meant to be without a wallet in a fit of rage.Liang Xi fiercely chose a Michelin restaurant in Brighton.

It is quite interesting to say that the Michelin restaurants in the UK are quite interesting. There are many Michelin restaurants in the UK, and there are also many world-renowned chefs in the UK.Interestingly, there is no Michelin-starred restaurant specializing in British cuisine, no famous chef is famous for British cuisine, and few people have even heard of famous British cuisine.

Chapter 631 New Blood Moon

While the wallet was bleeding, Millett also chatted about an insider tip.After an assessment, the Office of the Superintendent of Police Department plans to abolish the blade.One reason is because the Holy Banner has perished.One reason is because Blade's budget is not proportional to the grades.The last reason is that Blade's intelligence agencies are getting stronger and stronger, and some congressmen have expressed concern about this.

Part of the reason is that the junior-level anti-terrorism office has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and rushed to fight at every turn. As a result, the higher-ups not only dare not cut their budget, but also have been desperately strengthening their equipment, giving them what they want.The equipment is not worth a lot of money, and they want to upgrade their technical department, but they don't have a technical department.For several months, the Office of Counter-Terrorism's budget was only 15 percent of the blade's, much of it coming from gun consumables.

Liang Xi said: "This is not the point. The point is that no one has the confidence to take over Daofeng. I heard that Daofeng is divided into several parts. The first part is the staff who worship and respect people like one-eyed people. The second part is to abide by the rules of the law. , The staff who are disgusted with the illegal practices. The third part is daily fishing, losing confidence in the future of the blade, losing enthusiasm, and working mechanically.”

Romeo ate the scallops and said, "I'm more interested in why you leaked personnel secrets, Millet. Although it can't be regarded as a secret, it shouldn't be revealed by you."

"Working with detectives is not only not fun, but also embarrassing." Millett could only get straight to the point: "The director talked with our boss, and he said that with the abolition of the blade, there will be no formal anti-terrorism department in the UK."

Liang Xi stretched out his finger: "I just want to say this to you. We have to treat you when we meet in the future. Otherwise, you will wake up the next day and find yourself drifting on the Thames."

Millett stroked his forehead: "I agree." I forgot that this guy is a genuine special consultant of the Anti-Terrorism Office. Although he doesn't do anything, although he doesn't get a salary, although he doesn't work, and although he has no authority, he is really an officially appointed special consultant. .How dare you say that there is no formal anti-terrorism department in the country besides Daofeng?

Millett said: "If the blade is abolished, it will be difficult to rely on the weak MI5 to fight against the terrorist attacks against the UK. The blade has done a lot of things, but there is no obvious result. For example, install informants, arrange phishing websites, and recruit high-risk personnel The undercover community gathers information, and the undercover community has extreme gatherings. The director himself is unwilling to abolish the blade, but he has no reason to convince the councilors." Although the director does not obey the councilors, the councilors can review the budget and ask the director to come up with a list of expenses.It is said that a big boss resigned because he used a bus to pick up someone at the airport.

Once the blade is abolished, it is even more difficult to form a new blade.The appearance of the blade is indisputable. At least in the near future, there will be no groups that specifically target the UK to carry out terrorist attacks.This is the thinking of the British. His ally, the United States, not only did not reduce the authority of the FBI, but also added multiple anti-terrorism departments after 911/5.The United Kingdom has castrated the once bullish MI[-] into an intelligence transfer station without the right to investigate and arrest, and handed over the anti-terrorism work to the police.

Romeo looked at Liang Xi: "Guess it?"

Liang Xi nodded: "I want steps! Counting with my fingers, I seem to be the only one in London who can do this kind of thing. If the director and the others propose to reinstate Isa, then they violate professional ethics. If ordinary civilians say something, they will not take it back." But I’m open for business, and when I open my eyes every day, several pounds of utility bills and property taxes are gone.”
