fog city detective

Phil said, "Let me tell. I've been waiting for your call. I thought you would call me a few days earlier."

"why?"

Phil took out his mobile phone and opened the mailbox: "On the day of the incident, Cyclops sent an email at [-]:[-] p.m., saying that there was a serious accident.

If you want to see me, he is waiting for me on the rooftop. "

Phil was resting in the vice president's office at the time. After reading the email, he got up and went to the elevator reception area to get a rain gear. From the stairs to the roof, he walked around the middle roof and didn't see Cyclops, so he dialed Cyclops' phone, Cyclops' phone has been turned off.This made Phil somewhat dissatisfied. After waiting for a few minutes, Phil went back the same way and put the rain gear back. He went to the banquet hall to look for Cyclops to no avail. Instead, he chatted with the French general about the engine problem.

Phil said that he was busy those few days, didn’t see the news, and no one around him mentioned it. It was only when Carlo was shot dead that he found out that One Eye had died on the roof of Ross Building. Thinking of not coming.He considered that Cyclopedia's phone might not have saved email information, he didn't know the time of Cyclops' death, and thought that it might have nothing to do with him, and because of his identity, he didn't take the initiative to contact the police to explain the email Cyclops sent to him.

Isa took the phone and glanced at it. It was indeed an email sent to Phil from the email address registered with the one-eyed phone.

Phil asked, "Do you suspect that after I received the email, I took a pistol to see Cyclops, and then killed Cyclops?"

The three looked at each other indecisively, and Romeo said, "General, do you know a rumor that Petain has a three-year-old child." It was cool to ask.

"Huh?" Phil said inexplicably, "I don't know, is it mine?"

After finishing speaking, Phil also felt embarrassed, and explained: "I'm kidding, I had a physical relationship with Petain." His attitude was also calm, and it was more anticipation and curiosity.

Liang Xi said: "Uncle, do you know the Thresh of the Orphan Association? Thresh constructed such a lie for an ulterior purpose, saying that Petain had a child."

Phil seemed a little disappointed: "Oh."

Liang Xi said: "We suspect that Cyclops believes it is true, so we asked you to understand this matter."

Phil finally understood: "You think I killed One-Eyed for this, with a pistol my friend kept."

"Um."

Phil said, "I understand, but I didn't kill Cyclops. What's the situation with my friend?"

Liang Xi looked at Romeo, Romeo said: "We have arrested him for two days, he did not admit that he had a revolver. Until his child had an accident, he was forced to explain the situation. He said you know the combination of the safe, you rest in his office, he It is guessed that you took the gun with you after the murder, so confront our questioning with a very strong attitude.”

Phil asked, "What happened to his kid?"

Romeo hurriedly said, "It's all right, it's all right, it's all right."

After speaking, the scene was quiet, and everyone seemed to have no other questions.Of course there are questions, and we should have further questioned the questions Phil said and answered, and judged whether Phil lied from the details.But how to ask?Even if Phil said he brought a gun to One Eye but didn't pull the trigger, the three of them would have difficulty asking.

Liang Xi was the first to break the silence, pointing at the dessert: "The creme brulee tastes great."

Isa asked: "Isn't it panna cotta?"

"Whatever." Liang Xi said, "Excuse me uncle, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

"Wait," Phil asked, "I look like a suspect to you, don't I?"

Liang Xi gestured with his index finger and thumb: "A little suspicion."

Phil reached out for a sticky note placed on the side, and wrote a set of numbers: "This is my private phone, call me if you have any questions."

Isa answered the phone, looked at Phil and said, "I believe in you."

Phil said: "This is not what a competent policeman should say. If I were the murderer, maybe I would be happy for you to solve the case and catch me."

Romeo interjected, "Are you the murderer?"

"No." Phil replied.

……

The three of them boarded the car and returned to London without talking. After driving for 5 minutes, Romeo said, "This is the general's aura? My original 99% suspicion has become 99% trust, and my gestures are so open and honest. To be honest, did it also shake your skepticism?"

Isa, who was driving, was speechless: "Yes, I don't think he should be the murderer."

Romeo asked, "Is there any logic?"

Isa thought for a long time, and replied: "No." There is no logic, it is Phil's attitude that makes Isa feel that Phil is not the murderer.

"Exclude her." Romeo said, "Liang Xi, let's analyze rationally. The first possibility is that Phil lied. He killed someone with a gun, took away the one-eyed cell phone, and finally left swaggeringly with the cell phone, pistol and bullets."

Liang Xi added: "And asked Carlo to deal with Toby who was preparing to pick up One-Eyed near the Ross Building. The car Toby drove was a One-Eyed car. It was not difficult for Carlo to find Toby, and at the same time, it showed that One-Eyed did not have a relationship with Phil. Prepare for conflict."

Romeo asked, "Do you think Phil can do it all?"

Liang Xi thought for a while, constructed the whole process in his mind, and said, "He can do it."

Romeo said: "The second possibility is that the mysterious man killed Cyclops, and Phil happened to be suspected."

Liang Xi said: "In this possibility, the person that One Eye is looking for is not Phil, but the mysterious man. First, we need to solve a problem: Is the mysterious man trying to frame Phil?"

Romeo said: "It's hard, isn't it? The appearance of One-Eyed was an accident, and it was difficult for the mysterious man to arrange it properly. So there is a third possibility. The mysterious man kills two birds with one stone and kills One-eyed to frame Phil."

Liang Xidao: "To accomplish this goal, several conditions must be met. The first condition: the mysterious person knows that One-Eyed is going to find someone on the 45th floor of Ross. The second condition: he knows that the vice president has a gun. The third condition: he knows The password to the vice president's safe."

Isa interrupted: "Excuse me, let's say it's a false accusation. The mysterious man killed Cyclops, and then sent an email to Phil with Cyclops' mobile phone. Phil was tricked to the rooftop. But Phil was in the vice president's office at the time, and the mysterious man had to get the To the pistol. The process should be that the mysterious person stole the pistol from the vice president, killed Cyclops on the rooftop, sent an email to Phil, and tricked him to the rooftop."

Isa said: "One-eyed died around nine o'clock, and Phil went to the vice president's office to rest at around 08:30. One-eyed was definitely not dead when Phil was in the vice president's office. The mysterious person predicted the behavior of One-eyed. The president’s office stole the pistol in advance and went to the rooftop to kill Cyclops. You two, it’s undeniable that someone has the ability to sneak into the office and open the safe, but the timing must be grasped very well.”

Liang Xi said: "Besides this, there are various doubts. If Phil was framed, it definitely did not start after One Eye entered the 45th floor, but a conspiracy planned from the very beginning."

Romeo said: "There is a mistake in your thinking. One-eyed is not qualified to go to the 45th floor. He got to the 45th floor by meeting an acquaintance general on the side of the road. It can be seen that the one-eyed behavior is very personal."

Liang Xi reminded: "It is rumored that a big person asked Cyclops to form a team."

"First of all, the big man is what Fiona said. I think it's just a way for One Eye to trick Fiona." Romeo said, "Secondly, even if there is such a big man, he can't ask about One Eye's action plan, and he won't arrange it. One-eyed actions. Because with a one-eyed character, a so-called big man will not let a so-called big man teach him how to act. In addition, we can see that the one-eyed behavior is an impromptu behavior, and his behavior is difficult to predict.”

Liang Xi thought about it for a while: "Unless Toby or Tony has someone who is responsible, Cyclops will definitely tell them his plan. Even if they act on the spot, Cyclops will keep in touch with them, after all, they are the ones who respond to Cyclops. The mysterious person With the help of female cadres, the gun was stolen in advance and the frame-up was arranged.”

Isa said: "There is still a bug, how did the mysterious man steal the gun? The banquet started before seven o'clock, and before eight o'clock, everyone was walking around and socializing, and President Ross also introduced a few distinguished guests today. Do you recall the vice president The location of the office is not remote, not far from the elevator, and the elevator reception staff can see the door of the office at a glance. How much courage does this person have to unlock and sneak into the vice president's office in full view of everyone?"

The two detectives pondered for a moment, Liang Xi's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "I see..."

Romeo grabbed it: "Wait, give me some time, 3 minutes."

Isa was speechless: "

You are so childish! "

After 3 minutes Romeo asked for a delay again.When Isa couldn't hold back her curiosity, Romeo finally figured it out: "The tarmac is the second scene. We can make such a guess. Cyclops went to the 45th floor and found the mysterious person. Unexpectedly, he was killed and controlled by the mysterious person." The mysterious man hides the one-eyed man, and waits for his people to lock on the one-eyed respondent Toby, the mysterious man will... No, no, I will start again.”

Yisha said: "Either let Liang Xi speak, or I will step on the gas pedal." She was anxious to death.

Romeo tried his best to organize for a while, and motioned: "Say it." Gas!

Liang Xi said: "Romeo is right. One Eye's death time may be wrong, because One Eye didn't die on the tarmac, he was killed elsewhere, and the body was hidden somewhere. After the dinner at 10 o'clock, the guests They left one after another, and the staff began to clean up the scene and ended their work for the day. From 10 am to early morning, someone sneaked into the 45th floor and did two things. The first thing was to put the one-eyed corpse on the tarmac, and at midnight After that, although there was no downpour, the rain continued, and the heavy rain washed away all the evidence."

"Why did it have to be sent to the apron? Because the apron is open on all sides, everyone subconsciously believes that no one will carry the corpse to such an open place. Because of the weather that night, no one went to the rooftop, and it was difficult for helicopters to take off and land. The most important purpose is to cover up the first At the scene of a crime, the illusion that Cyclops was killed on the tarmac was created. In this way, everyone who went to the rooftop that day will be suspicious. It happened that because of the heavy rain, only Phil went to the rooftop alone. Phil surrounded the stairs After walking around, he didn't see the one-eyed one hundred meters away from him, not because of the distance, but because there was no one on the ground at that time."

Chapter 669 Framing and Lies

Ross Tower has little surveillance.For the sake of safety and better reception of guests, several air monitoring systems are set up on the two aprons on the roof.If there are planes that are not on the list ready to land, the guards will immediately block the corridor.

Liang Xi continued: "The second thing is to steal the pistol and bullets from the vice president's safe. In other words, the gun that killed Cyclops is definitely not the vice president's gun. But the vice president's gun has no ballistic records , so it is impossible to compare." There is no proof.

Yisha stopped: "That means framing. The mysterious man knew that Cyclops went to the 45th floor. The mysterious man knew that there was a pistol in the vice president's safe, and he knew the model of the bullet. When the mysterious man killed Cyclops, he had to find the bullet and discard it. Go to the rooftop. The mysterious man took advantage of this banquet to not only kill Cyclops, but also frame Phil. Is this very difficult?"

Liang Xi said: "It is difficult because there is no internal response. If there is a premise: either Toby or Tony is a spy of the mysterious man, and the mysterious man already knows the plan and target of the one-eyed man. The difficulty will be greatly reduced."

Isa said: "I don't believe that Cyclops will be so weak, and pick a spy out of thousands of choices. Cyclops will not trust the people sent to him by others, he will only trust the people he picks out by himself. I don't believe that Tony and There are spies in Toby."

Liang Xi said: "But this is a necessary condition for Phil to be framed. Otherwise, we must accept two other possibilities. The first possibility is that Phil lied and he killed the person. The second possibility is that God is helping the mysterious person. He killed One-eyed, and he came up with a clever plan on the spur of the moment, and every detail was executed very well. The bullet he killed One-eyed must meet the bullet specifications of the vice president's pistol, and the place where he killed One-eyed happened to be extremely safe He was very calm and started planning after killing One-Eyed, found the warhead, asked Carlo to control Toby who might be hiding nearby, and asked his lackeys to kidnap Tony, and then contacted the master, so that the master would be at the end of the banquet Afterwards, move the one-eyed corpse to the tarmac."

Isa: "Ignore the second possibility directly. What you mean is that either Phil lied after the murder, deliberately didn't ask about the vice president, and designed himself to be extremely innocent. Or there is a spy between Toby and Tony."

Liang Xi asked Romeo: "You tell me the answer. The mysterious man sent someone to keep an eye on Toby and Tony. Will he be able to commit the crime perfectly after knowing their detailed action plan?"

Romeo said: "Impossible. The one-eyed trio are all masters. Even if they are tracked and eavesdropped, it is impossible for the other party to know the overall plan. This may not be as good as your second possibility."

Isa said: "I still don't believe that there are spies among Toby and Tony. How to verify your speculation?"

Liang Xi said confidently: "Ask the master to find the first scene. As long as you find the first scene, you can rule out Phil's suspicion, and maybe even capture the murderer directly."

Romeo: "After dinner tonight, the three of us changed from suspecting Phil subjectively to helping Phil excuse."

Liang Xi said: "I haven't. I have reminded myself not to be preconceived. So now we have to find the scene. A shooting scene will leave countless evidence and traces. Unless..."

Romeo said: "Unless you kill someone on the rooftop, then use a body bag to transport the body back to the 45th floor for hiding. In this way, all the evidence will be washed away by the rain."

Liang Xi said: "Maybe we can still find rainwater. Besides, how can such a large package be transported and hidden on the 45th floor with so many people? The most suspicious thing is that the stairs from the two aprons in the north and the south go down to the 45th floor. room. As long as someone is covering, it's easy to get past those few steps."

Isa stepped on the accelerator: "Romeo, contact person, we will work overtime at night."

Only then did Yisha understand what the anti-terrorism detectives said that day, leaving it to Liang Xi and the others to solve the case, there is really no need to worry about whether they can solve the case.

Ask enough questions, speculate about the possibilities, test each one, and finally find the answer.Of course, if the case can be solved technically, it doesn't need to be so troublesome.The cases that can pay Liang Xi translation fees are all cases that cannot be handled technically, and the perpetrators are not ordinary people.

During the 40-minute journey, the three detectives started the question-and-answer mode, but the depth of the questions was somewhat different, and Isha mainly played a supplementary role.After a round of question and answer, the three possibilities of the previous reasoning were consolidated.The first possibility is the most unlikely possibility: the murderer is lucky enough to explode, and has a clear mind and calm thinking, and has many resources that can be deployed in a short time.The second possibility: Tony, Toby, or Cyclops leaked the secret, allowing the murderer to complete the layout, not only killing Cyclops, but also blaming Phil.The third possibility: Phil is lying.Behind the lying is Phil's careful arrangement.After killing One-Eyed, Phil takes the gun away without notifying the Vice President, making himself innocent.

The answer is on the 45th floor. If the first scene is found, it is the second possibility.If the first scene is not found, then the third possibility is highly probable, but it is still impossible to deny the existence of the second possibility.

……

Blade's technicians and the Forensics Department's forensics team had arrived at the Ross Building, but they were stopped by security.The three of Isa were shocked when they came forward to find out. It turned out that the 45th floor was unsealed at noon the day before yesterday, that is, it was unsealed the next day after filling out the form.The rooftop was unsealed yesterday morning.

Isa looked at Romeo, Romeo looked innocent, and the two hurriedly took the phone to contact.Reasonable and rules-based, it is basically impossible to unseal the crime scene without the consent of the case-handling department.One way is to unseal the case through a court order, but the judge will definitely ask the opinion of the case-handling department, and will also convey the final decision to the case-handling department.

The scene was indeed useless in the past two days, but the uselessness of these two days does not mean that it has been useless.

It quickly became clear that the Ross Company contacted the Mayor's Office of London, and under the coordination of the Mayor's Office, the Commander of the Criminal Investigation Department and the Superintendent of the North District Criminal Investigation Department attended the court meeting together.In the absence of doubts from the commander and superintendent, the court agreed to lift the seal.Why was Romeo not informed?Because the criminal investigation department was in charge of this case, the case was assigned to the Northern District Criminal Investigation Department, which formed a joint investigation team with Daofeng.In theory, it is possible without the consent of Romeo and Isa, and there is no need to ask their opinions.

This is only the obvious reason, and the private reason is the influence of the mayor and Ross Company.Ross Company is not unreasonable. The scene of the crime is on the rooftop, and the 45th floor of the company's core leadership department was blocked for several days.Assuming that the murder happened in a hotel room, the seal will usually be unsealed within 24 hours, and it can be unsealed within two hours even faster.

Why didn't the Northern District Criminal Investigation Department notify Romeo?The superintendent knew that Romeo would definitely not agree, and he hoped that Romeo would not go back to the 45th floor.This may be a manifestation of the bureaucracy of the judiciary.

After making a lot of phone calls, the three of Liang Xi went to the 45th floor led by the manager of the security department of Ross Company.This form is completely different, and now I am begging people to show me the scene. The 45th floor has restored the previous working scene. Even though it is already 10 o'clock in the evening, there are still many people working.As a manufacturing and testing company, their factories are open 24 hours a day, and their business is spread all over the world, so their commuting hours are different from those of ordinary companies.

The security manager said that you can't go here, you can't go there, you can only go to public areas such as corridors, conference areas, stairs, rooftops, and cafes.They can't even go to the vice president's room.

Liang Xi just stayed there for 3 minutes, took the elevator down, glanced at the evidence officers who were still waiting, got into a taxi and left without saying a word.He was not angry. Objectively speaking, the Ross company had given him a few days. It was because he was too stupid and his thinking was limited, and he kept going around in circles on the vice president and Phil.

Romeo and Isa didn't stay for too long. They agreed that Romeo would write a report to make a temporary written explanation of the one-eyed murder case.Conversely, the current joint investigation team has no more useful clues and no new direction to solve the case.The joint investigation work has temporarily come to an end.

……

Not being angry doesn't mean he's in a good mood. The next morning, Liang Xi brewed black tea by himself and prepared a breakfast for himself slowly. He had no intention of going out or going to a detective agency. He wanted to stay at home alone today.He always felt that there were elements that he could see and touch but couldn't imagine in the one-eyed murder case.

As a middle-aged man, Romeo was more motivated than Liang Xi, and he did not give up.Romeo contacted Liang Xi and told him that he was fully investigating Toby and Tony's information.To verify the correctness of the reasoning, in addition to finding the first crime scene on the 45th floor, there is another way to confirm whether Toby and Tony are spies.However, both Toby and Tony are dead, no matter how detailed the investigation is, what can be obtained is only a subjective judgment, and no objective evidence can be obtained.

Romeo asked: "In your judgment, do you think Phil was framed?"

Liang Xi inserted the bacon, rolled it, and looked at the bacon on the fork for a long time without answering. Romeo also waited patiently. The countless thoughts in Liang Xi's mind summed up into one sentence: "I don't know." This time, I really don't know. Completely lost direction, not even the slightest bias.Perhaps Phil impressed Liang Xi too well. In the few few contacts, Phil's frankness and straightforwardness, coupled with the impact of his own kind attitude from the high class to the low class, made Liang Xi Can't judge.

All traitors have the appearance of great kindness.If he was an ordinary person, Liang Xi would believe in his own observation and judgment, but Phil is not an ordinary person.People of his class have the basic ability to disguise.Either there is such a sentence, don't believe any word of politicians, because every word of them has a purpose.

Liang Xi asked, "What about you?"

Romeo replied after a long time: "If I had an idea, I wouldn't want to hear your idea. Said that Phil is a good man, but as a general, he had kept a private relationship with a woman for a long time and did not report it. He said that Phil was a bad man, and he Frankly admit the matter between yourself and Petain, willing to accept punishment, and give up your bright future. Don't be decadent, do you have any ideas?"

Liang Xidao: "Perhaps we should go back to our original intention and ask a question: Why does Cyclops go to the 45th floor? If the big shots inside want to see Cyclops, they will definitely open a way for Cyclops. Obviously Cyclops took the initiative to meet someone or do something. something."

"and then?"

"Hey..." Liang Xi thought of Moduo, and Moduo asked himself to ask more questions when he couldn't figure it out, and said, "Question, why do you have to meet someone at a banquet where the bosses gather?"

Romeo is not sure: "Safe? One Eye may know that the other party is a very bad person. Only in such an environment will the other party dare not do anything. But he underestimated the other party's strength."

Liang Xidao: "The one-eyed personality likes to strike first. He took the risk to meet the mysterious person, probably to verify a certain problem. Who has the best relationship between the one-eyed and the 45th-floor big shots?"

Romeo: "Got to ask Isa."

Liang Xi said, "Let's have dinner together at noon."

……

Cyclops is a middle-level senior executive in MI6. His rank is not high, but he performs tasks with high standards.Except for a group of people who grew up with him, Duoyan didn't know many dignitaries.Growing together also includes rivals and enemies.Yisha explained that people like Cyclops cannot have direct contact with the senior management of the fungus, so as to avoid the failure of Cyclopedia's mission or leakage of secrets, which will damage the reputation of the fungus.

This question has also reached a dead end, and they can only talk about Toby and Tony. As Kunta said, Tony has no friends, no communication, and less introverted words.Toby, on the contrary, is a very enthusiastic person, very positive and hardworking.The backgrounds of the two have one thing in common, their fathers are all honored military officers.Due to his personality, Tony was discharged after two years of enlistment and applied to be a customs policeman. Later, under the operation of his father, he was transferred to MI5 to be in charge of data analysis. This job was very suitable for Tony, and he did not need to deal with people too much.

Toby, an officer, took full responsibility for a training accident for which he didn't have much responsibility.Later, after passing the police university examination, he entered the Chelsea Police Department as a patrol policeman. Because of his outstanding performance in many emergencies, he was promoted to sheriff.A year later, Blade recruited troops, and Toby passed the various assessments and became a Blade agent.

Toby is very enthusiastic, and Blade's work environment that pays attention to rules makes him a little uncomfortable.For example, as a policeman, when he sees a child on the side of the road, he will step forward to inquire, send the child home, contact social welfare agencies, and visit the child every few days to finally confirm that the child has not been abused.As Daofeng, he saw that the child on the side of the road had only one choice, to contact the police station, and he could not do unnecessary things.If there is evidence that the child has been abused by hand, the evidence must also be handed over to the relevant department, not by him.

After Isha left Blade, Toby began to violate some rules, such as following the leads of the case without reporting to the supervisor.Robert is a good guy, as long as it doesn't cause trouble, he can accept it.After Shadow Director One Eye came to Blade, Toby especially liked One Eye's informal and well-ashamed style of handling cases.Toby is also One Eye's most trusted agent in Blade.At the same time, Toby is also the first in Isa's proposed resignation list after returning to Blade.

Isa added after finishing speaking: "I believe Toby is a good person. He is a good person who wants to do a lot of good things. He has a very strong sense of responsibility. To make a joke, he saw a mouse on the side of the road. He would think that since he saw Once a mouse is found, it is obligatory to exterminate the mouse.”

Liang Xi said: "Toby and Tony have very different personalities. If I were a villain, I would definitely choose Toby as a breakthrough point, because Tony is too difficult to get in touch with."

Isa and Romeo agree.

Isa said: "The next step is to trouble Inspector Romeo to work harder. From a certain point of view, One-Eyed is not a bad guy, and he has done a lot for Britain. I don't want such a person to die inexplicably. You can call me anytime you need anything.”
