fog city detective

From the detective's point of view, the case can be closed, the murderer has confessed, the evidence has been obtained, and the motive has been obtained.The next step is to study the connection between the murderer and the employer. I believe it is not a question that can be concluded quickly. I hope there will be a technical breakthrough in the crossbow.

But after Liang Xi and Romeo listened to George's statement, they were not in the mood of joy at all.Seeing that George was already prepared, Romeo threw out his hole card and asked, "A very important question. Is your target the earl, or the earl's eldest son?"

At this time, Liang Xi, who was in the observation room, called Ai Wen who was in the hotel and asked him to investigate something.

George replied: "Of course the eldest son, we don't like him."

Liang Xi called Romeo, talked for a while, and Romeo hung up the phone: "But what I know is the opposite. The earl is not clear about the punishment. A maid broke the vase, the earl dismissed her, and a maid also broke the vase. But the earl comforted her, told her not to worry or be nervous, and gave her a holiday. The difference is that the former has the courage to admit her mistakes, while the latter is sad and afraid. In the earl’s view, the former did something wrong and did not repent, and she must be made to pay the price. The latter has already been punished by her own mistakes, and there is no need to hold her accountable. This matter was a big event in the castle, and it was not talked about until the steward issued a ban. It is said that women Showing weakness can easily arouse the earl's empathy. Showing firmness in front of the earl can easily be misunderstood by the earl as being arrogant."

Romeo said: "The eldest son is on the contrary. He is not right about things. Whether he is strong or weak, he must be punished accordingly. Even if a maid is pregnant, she is still fined and confiscated as a quarterly bonus. They told the eldest son that punishing pregnant women would entail the risk of discrimination against pregnant women. In the end, the eldest son insisted on the punishment and went to court and was fined [-] pounds.”

Romeo said, thinking about other things in his heart. These two things are relatively public interesting stories about the castle, but why would people like Liang Xi care about such interesting things?The only answer is that Liang Xi is collecting detailed information on the earl or the earl's eldest son with a purpose.For a person who is too lazy to read the material, this matter must be important enough to make Liang Xi so interested.

Romeo said: "The outside world is full of criticisms of the eldest son, saying that he is rich and unkind, but the employees of the castle are very supportive of the eldest son's decision. Therefore, they have a clear standard of punishment and reward in their hearts." If you do a good job, you must be rewarded, even if the eldest son sees it. If you don't like it, the reward will still be given to you.The eldest son's butler also resolutely implemented the eldest son's standards, which led to disputes between the eldest son's butler and the earl's butler on some matters. After all, some employees were responsible for the two affairs.

Romeo answered Liang Xi's call again, hung up the phone after a while and said, "The reason for firing you is indeed because you misplaced tools and caused a maid to be injured. It was also the hospital where the eldest son sent her to. But it was not the eldest son's butler, but the earl's butler who asked you to resign." , the reason is that this maid has a very good relationship with the earl, like a half-daughter. And you are just a gardener." The last sentence was full of sarcasm.

The gardener George was furious when he heard this: "Old stuff..."

After the words came out of his mouth, he immediately calmed down and said, "It was he who fired me, but it must be the eldest son who asked him. Anyway, I think so." It means that I don't care who fired me, anyway, I want to kill the eldest son.

Romeo said: "Murder in the first degree, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment. With the wealth of the eldest son..."

"Isn't he not dead?" George was shocked: "Isn't he already out of danger?"

Romeo looked at George for a long time and asked, "How do you know?"

George was, of course, taken aback.

Liang Xi rummaged through George's personal belongings, took out his mobile phone, opened the door to enter the interrogation room, and walked to George, "Hey, I'll show you something." Liang Xi opened his palm, and the screen was facing George.

George didn't react for a while, he successfully unlocked the phone, grabbed the phone and was held down by the guard, and immediately flew into a rage: "I want to sue you."

"I'm not a policeman." Liang Xi flipped through the communication records and shook his head at Romeo.

The two thought of something at the same time, Romeo said: "Take him down."

Liang Luo left the interrogation room, Romeo called Ai Wen: "Are you in the hotel?"

"Yes."

Romeo said: "The first step is to get all the monitoring in the hotel today. The second step is to get the switchboard system. I don't know what the system is. Someone dialed an internal number in the hotel with an internal phone. I need your help. Prove one thing."

In the early years, the hotel had a special operator on the switchboard. After the outside line came in, it was transferred through the switchboard. Guests had to contact the switchboard before dialing the outside line, and they had to pay a deposit in advance to open the outside line.A few years later, the system replaced the manual, and you can directly dial the phone. For example, if you want to contact the guest in room 402, you can dial XXXXX402 for the outside line.If the guest wants to make an outside call, he can press the operation button.In the era of mobile phones, landline phones have been gradually eliminated. Many hotels no longer have landline phones. Most hotels still have landline phones, but their function is not to communicate with the outside world, but to communicate with various departments of the hotel.

Nowadays, it is more difficult for an outside line to make a room phone call, because the hotel needs to protect the privacy of the guests and avoid guests being harassed.Therefore, the outside line can either directly contact the mobile phone of the guest, or can only go to the main station to explain, and the main station will contact the guest through the internal phone, ask and get the consent, and then let the outsider talk to the guest.

Those who knew that the eldest son was out of danger were: the earl, the earl's eldest son's children, the police detective in charge and his team members, three people, and several medical staff.The police detective in charge clearly informed everyone that in order to cooperate with the ongoing search of the hotel, please keep the information that the eldest son out of danger temporarily confidential.Among this group of insiders, there may be someone who leaked information to the outside world in good faith to keep safe, but George definitely does not have this status.Even if the stewards knew this information, they would not tell George.

How did George get this information?Someone contact him.Since the police are monitoring all the rooms, contact can only be made by phone.There is no communication record on the mobile phone, so the only possibility is an internal call.Considering the special nature of the internal calls, it is very likely that the person who contacted George had appeared in the hotel.

According to the on-site analysis and motive analysis, Liang Luo determined that the person George wanted to kill was the earl, not the eldest son.But why did George insist that the man he was going to kill was the eldest son?Assuming that the eldest son died, and George claimed that he killed the eldest son, then George was charged with first-degree murder.Assuming George claims he killed the wrong person, then George is charged with attempted murder and first-degree murder.

In fact, George already knew that his eldest son was out of danger. At this time, George admitted that he shot and killed his eldest son, which was an attempted murder.If George says he killed the wrong person, attempted murder plus intentional injury.

Was it because George wanted to understand these details before killing himself that his target was the eldest son?Or did the phone call cause George to change his mind?Liang and Luo didn't need to communicate, they both chose the second answer.

……

At the same time, Aiwen, who received the order, dispatched six uniformed policemen on the scene and asked them to assist him in collecting evidence.Ai Wen himself was communicating with the service staff at the main station, and when he was inquiring about the internal situation, he saw a man in a sweater and a hood walking towards the back door in the direction of the stairs out of the corner of his eye.Aiwen looked back and found that the man was deliberately avoiding the surveillance to avoid being photographed on the face by the surveillance.

Aiwen followed up with his ID: "Hi! Dude, wait."

The man ran away without looking back, and Ai Wen immediately chased after him.The man escaped from the back door and turned left. Aiwen chased out the back door and planned to turn left. An arm appeared like an iron pillar. Aiwen's chest under the neck hit his arm, and his arm pushed forward with force. Aiwen flew on his back He hit the ground hard.When Ai Wen stood up, the support police officers had already arrived. Looking around, there was no sign of the man.

Ai Wen contacted the command center: "The police officer was attacked. The suspect is a Caucasian man, 1.8 meters tall, weighing about 75 kilograms, and wearing a dark sweater. This person is an important suspect in an important case. Please pay attention to the investigation by all departments."

Liang Luo was heading to the hotel, and a police officer was in charge of driving.The car was a police car, and a notification came from the command center on the radio, calling all units to pay attention to a white man who was 1.8 meters tall, weighed about 75 kilograms, and was wearing a dark sweater.The man had just attacked a police officer at a hotel.

Liang Xi said: "There are a lot of police officers in the hotel, and he escaped after attacking the police officers, which means that he must not be wearing a dark sweater."

Romeo asked: "Do you want to add an Asian disguise? Can you pay attention to the point, there is a suspect in the hotel."

Liang Xi said, "Even we didn't know what he was suspected of."

The urban area of ​​Brighton is not big, and it takes only half an hour to drive from the city to the end. Liang Xi and the others arrived near the hotel in 3 minutes.Liang Xi greeted: "Stop."

Liang Xi got out of the car and looked at the man who was paying for cigarettes in the convenience store.The man was wearing a white casual outfit with a fanny pack. Judging from his overall attire, he was a tourist visiting Brighton who came out to hang out at night when he was bored.

Liang Xi walked over, and when he approached, the man turned his head and saw Liang Xi half a meter away for the first time, he was startled immediately: "Fake."

Liang Xi smiled, and this effect was what he wanted: "Hey, Ristone, do you also come to Brighton whenever you have time?"

Ristone responded with a heck of a smile, and raised his hand to greet Romeo: "Officer Romeo, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Riesdall: "You guys are busy, I still have something to do, I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Don't worry." Liang Xi stretched out his hand to grab Riston's coat, and kneaded Riston's clothes with his palms back and forth: "This dress is so handsome, let me guess, it must have a lot of mystery." Turn it over, Nima, Either a reversible sweater or a casual outfit.

Ristone patted his clothes and shook off Liang Xi's hand, dissatisfied: "Why do you touch me? Although I am excellent, I don't like men touching me."

Romeo observed from the side. Ristone was 1.8 meters four and weighed 78 kilograms, which was not much different from the broadcast suspect's data.

Unlike Romeo who observed quietly, Liang Xi started directly.Liang Xi reached out for Ristone's pocket: "A friend comes from afar, and he can't be allowed to carry the luggage alone. Let me carry it for you."

"No, you go away." Ristone pushed Liang Xi away, and asked cautiously, "What are you going to do?"

"Long time no see, I'm glad to see you." Liang Xi continued to talk nonsense, he didn't believe that Ristone would be nearby by such a coincidence.

Romeo leaned close to Liang Xi's ear and whispered: "It's not him, maybe it's an accomplice." Ristone's hair was soft and casual without any chemicals such as pomade. It can be seen that the last time he washed his hair did not exceed 12 months. Hour.The suspect was wearing a sweater and a hood, and was running fast. Under such circumstances, no matter how much he combed his hair, he couldn't arrange it so naturally in a few minutes.

"What accomplice?" Ristone asked.

Liang Xi said: "No, I'm just very sad. You kept saying that you would go to London to have tea with me, but I waited and waited and never found you in London, but I ran into you in Brighton many times. Fate, really It’s wonderful. Although you are so unkind to me, I still wait in London, I’m in trouble, you shine on the mountains..." Liang Xi started talking nonsense, and Romeo pretended not to listen to it and looked around to see if there was any People noticed the situation here, everything seems to be normal.

Although he has a good reputation in the circle, Liang Xi must be more shameless than Romeo. He suddenly turned his head and pointed, and shouted: "It's you."

Across the road is a small garden where a dozen people listen to street performers singing.With Liang Xi's voice and pointing at more than a dozen people, a man in a white sweater pushed away the two girls beside him and ran away.

"Damn!" Liang Xi was pleasantly surprised, turned to look at Romeo, scratched his head: "Damn." He seemed unable to run, and looked at the driver of the special car. Although the driver was a uniformed policeman, he was five meters away and didn't know What happened.

Liang Xi was quick-witted, grabbed Riston's shoulder, and pointed to the direction in which the man fled: "Be brave when you see justice, hurry up."

Ristone was angry and funny, and the two weak chickens tricked the big fish out, only to find that they couldn't catch the fish.Riston put a cigarette in his mouth: "As a tourist, you should keep yourself safe. How about one? Let's make a contribution to reduce the world's population together?"

Chapter 641 Blood on the Street

Liang Xi reached out his hand to remove the cigarette from Riston's mouth, and asked with a half-smile, "Are you in a hurry?"

Riston glanced at the direction in which the man in white was running, but the man had disappeared, so he asked, "Why am I in such a hurry?" Then he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Liang Xi said, "Because you don't have a lighter."

Ristone smiled and touched his pocket: where is the lighter?As a professional, a lighter is a must-have gadget, and Liston reached out.Liang Xi returned the lighter to Riston: "What's the situation? Tell us." The professional didn't find out that he stole the lighter, which meant that he was disturbed.

Romeo said, "Let's talk in another place, the police station or the coffee shop?"

Reese Channel: "The coffee shop is good, the environment is good, and there are many beauties."

……

Liang Luo was not in a hurry to go to the hotel, and sat down in a nearby coffee shop. After ordering food, Liang Xi said, "Let's cut to the chase, what's going on?"

Ristone felt helpless: "We lost a small composite crossbow."

"Lost it?" Liang Xi said, "Lost it in Sweden? Look for it in Brighton, England?"

Reese Pass: "Lost it in London. What's more, one of our guys took the crossbow through customs and took pictures."

"When did this happen?"

"Three days ago."

There is a former God of War company in the UK, a mercenary in the era of Ristone's father, and his 60th birthday was two days ago.At that time, a director of God of War was also a friend of the birthday star, and asked what gift he wanted.Shouxing said guns, guns are definitely not good, airplanes can’t handle it, sports cars are too expensive, and finally decided to give Shouxing a composite crossbow.

The supervisor’s son carried a composite crossbow from Sweden to London to celebrate the birthday of the birthday star on behalf of Ares Company. Although the composite crossbow was allowed to be consigned according to the transportation conditions, the British customs inspected the luggage of the supervisor’s son alone and took photos of the crossbow.

Liang Xi thought for a while, then looked at Romeo: "The time is not right."

Romeo nodded: "The murder happened early this morning, but the suspect had obtained the small compound crossbow five days ago."

Reese Channel: "The manager's son has a bold personality and doesn't care about trivial matters. He didn't know when he arrived at Shou Xing's house and found out that his luggage had been swapped, or he had taken the wrong luggage. Thinking that the luggage was not worth much, he didn't care too much. Temporarily I went to an antique shop and bought a crossbow as a gift for the birthday boy.”

Lispass: "The missing crossbow is one of the twelve composite crossbows we ordered from a Swedish company. It was designed by our weapon master himself. There are only twelve in the world. The son of the supervisor didn't take it seriously after losing the crossbow. He came back The general description of the chat surprised us. The God of War technician was transferred to the airport to monitor and found out that the supervisor’s son was attracted by the girl at the time, and while making a phone call, he looked at the girl, but someone replaced the suitcase with a kit.”

Kitting is a very popular method of theft at present. Simply put, it is to put an item similar to a suitcase into the target suitcase and take it away directly.When the owner finds that the luggage is missing, he must check left and right. He sees that the suitcase the thief is holding is completely different from his own, so he will not suspect the thief.

The supervisor's son was caught in a package with one more link. The thief did not steal the luggage, but exchanged it.Let the supervisor's son think to a certain extent that someone has taken the wrong luggage, and the other party will contact him according to the above information after opening his suitcase, so he delayed for a day.

A familiar passer-by of the Ares Company in the airport surveillance, the passer-by's name is Jax, 50 years old this year, and an old thief.He was sentenced to six years in prison in France for stealing art, and he has not been heard from for two years since he was released from prison.God of War believes that if Jax or Jax's apprentice did it, he definitely didn't do it for a suitcase.

When Ares Company was like a headless chicken, the eldest son was assassinated early this morning.God of War learned that the murderer used a crossbow, which penetrated the details of the eldest son's body, but he was not sure whether it had anything to do with the crossbow that God of War lost.At around nine o'clock in the morning, the informant told Ares Company that they had found the identity of the airport thief.The thief's name is Murphy, who is Jax's roommate in prison. Murphy is currently in Brighton.In order to find Murphy, Ristone also rushed to Brighton.

Ristone chased all the way and found that Murphy had sneaked into the hotel. There were many policemen in the hotel.

It made Ristone dare not act rashly, so he decided to wait on the sidelines and send people to guard the three intersections.Finally, Ristone waited for Murphy, called his companion to outflank him, hung up the phone and turned around to see the smiling Liang Xi.

At that time, [-] beasts ran past Ristone's heart.If he knew that Liang Xi was in Brighton, he would never appear on the street so casually.At the same time, Ristone is also a smart person. He intuitively felt that this crossbow might cause big trouble. The best way now is to make Liang Xi and Romeo believe in him.As long as they believed in themselves, even if Elder Blood Moon watched him kill the eldest son, they still had to believe in Liang Luo's conclusion.

Taking it all together, Ristone has only one sentence to say: "Find a way to stop the big guys." But if there is a little loophole, Coster and Hannah will not let go of the opportunity. They are not speculators, but speculators' ability is only theirs. the foundation of success.In their view, now is the best time to compete for the blood moon. Once the blood moon stabilizes, they can only take as much as they want.What about the eldest son?It seems that there is only one person who survives in the cracks, but his background is the deep sea demon, a person with tactical and strategic thinking, and it is even more impossible for him to let go of the details that can change the outcome of the war.

When he heard that George lied that the target he shot was the eldest son, Liang Luo knew that he was in serious trouble.This is no longer a game of murderer, employer, and victim, but one in which bystanders take part.Reasons for participating: I don’t participate, I can’t even drink soup, I participate, maybe I can eat meat, and they don’t have to think too much about the consequences, anyway, they set fire to other people’s yards.

Romeo jumped out of his mind: "Remind again, handle the case, handle the case, don't be led by the conspirators. I will answer the phone. Hello...Okay, I get it."

Liang Xi saw Romeo's constipated expression: "Worse?" I wanted to solve the case, but I couldn't figure out which clue was related to the case.

Romeo said: "Bad news, the search party did not find the murder weapon crossbow in the undergrowth."

Riston breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh..." His face was filled with joy.

"Idiot." Liang Xi looked at Li Stone: "According to the law of conservation of shrimp, things will not disappear without a reason."

Ristone couldn't get angry. These two are big names in the industry. They said they were idiots. What can they do? Will they be slapped in the face after they refute?

Romeo said: "Good news, the murder weapon crossbow was found in the hotel room where George lived."

Riston didn't think about it for a while, and after pausing for a while, he patted his forehead: "Oh, buy it."

Was the murder weapon in the undergrowth?Not a critical issue.Murphy, who was pursued by Ristone, sneaked into the hotel and put the fake murder weapon in George's room. Murphy has the God of War crossbow in his hand, which is the key issue.From this, Ristone thought of a question: "George cooperated with bad guys, so why did George lie to you and say that the murder weapon was in the bushes?"

Liang Xi ignored Ristone and sorted out the case: "The person who can take away the bush weapon must be George's employer, and he is the only one who will keep an eye on George. This person must be the person who put the fake weapon in George's room. Why not let him George explained that the fake murder weapon is in his room? There is only one reason, which allows things to maneuver. Assuming that Hannah is the employer, after Coster is forced to surrender to Hannah, Hannah can take out the real murder weapon to remove the suspicion of Coster. On the contrary , Hannah can use the police investigation report to force Coster."

"What does Coster have to do with this?" Ristone asked.

Liang Xi said: "Coster is the VIP of your God of War company. If I guess correctly, the twelve custom-made crossbows are produced by Coster. If the villain behind the scenes remits remuneration to George through an account related to Coster, what do you think Coster should do? Explanation? That’s right, Coster can use lawyers and the police to explain, but how to explain to Blood Moon? Romeo, this case really can’t be done without considering the conspiracy.”

Romeo is noncommittal, the core of the case should be: who wants to kill the count?But now the case becomes, who hired the murderer to kill the eldest son.Since the clues and information were all about the attack on the eldest son, Liang and Luo were unable to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the attack on the earl.

Romeo still insisted on jumping out of the conspiracy and looked at Liang Xi: "I think I should talk to the earl?" They also didn't have time. They started to handle the case in Brighton, then interrogated George, and happened to meet Ristone.Both the brain and the body were spinning continuously. It wasn't that Liang Luo didn't want to talk to the earl, but he couldn't find time to talk.Because of the intervention of the bosses, the case seems to be changing every minute, making him

They have no time to care.

Liang Xi said: "We split into two groups, one went to talk to the count, and the other went to investigate George's room."

That's right, George's room where the murder weapon was found must be investigated, and George must be interrogated according to the layout and furnishings of the room.The police cannot ignore the appearance of the murder weapon, and Liang Luo must prove that the murder weapon is a fake murder weapon.At this time, another advantage of the crossbow also appeared. Unlike the pistol, the crossbow bolts would not leave a ballistic trajectory, and it was impossible to know which crossbow the murder weapon was fired from.

Ristone heard something tricky: "The murderer's target is the Earl?"

"right."

"And you killed the wrong person?"

"right."

Rispass: "If I were the murderer, I would never let the count live. Because the target I didn't kill is more dangerous than the target I didn't kill." A knew B's secret and promised to keep it secret. B doesn't believe A, so he goes to kill A. If it succeeds, the secret will be preserved. If it fails, it is equivalent to forcing A to reveal the secret.You could bet on A's character before, but now you don't even have the qualifications to bet.

Liang Xi said, "The Earl doesn't know for the time being that the murderer killed the wrong person."

Rieschan: "But the murderer knew."

Liang Xi immediately said, "You and Romeo went to find the count."

Romeo asked, "Why me?" He didn't like dealing with nobles.

Liang Xi replied: "You are a police detective, you have the power of coercion, and I need to talk to him about the ways of the world."

"Why me? I don't care," Ristone asked.

Liang Xi said, "Which one of us can deal with the murderer?"

What else did Ristone say, Liang Xi said: "The last thing you can offend now is to believe that you are a wronged detective. Trust needs to pay a price." Liang Xi's real thought is that after Ristone appeared beside the earl, The killer who wants to do it has to weigh the pros and cons.Ristone is a killer, and he rarely acts alone.If Ristone accepts the commission of the earl's bodyguard, the risk of the killer's action will suddenly increase several times.For the last purpose, if Ristone is arranged to assassinate the Earl, he can only change his plan now.

It is not good to plan and conspire Liang Xi, Liang Xi is good at making the best use of everything.
