Chapter 116 The Farewell Banquet

Liang Xi hung up Thresh's phone, and Yisha immediately called Liang Xi to explain why she monitored Liang Xi's mobile phone.Liang Xi is very open-minded: "It's okay, it's okay, I will complete your transaction as an intermediary according to what I talked to Thresh just now." Does not accept the apology and quarrel with Isha, can it change the fact that Isha monitors herself?If you are in a hurry and reason with Isa today, tomorrow people will monitor you if they need it.Why lower your quality and embarrass the other party?

Liang Xi only does what he thinks he should do, Thresh's rhetoric can't convince Liang Xi, and Yisha's sincerity can't influence Liang Xi either.As Liang Xi himself said, people like them will not be persuaded by other people's mouths.It is even more impossible to change one's inherent three views and opinions because of others' provocation or friendship.

Yisha said Thresh's boss is more terrifying than Shengqi, this has nothing to do with Liang Xi, it's your police's business.John said that as long as the holy flag is dug up, the black hand who killed him can be found out. Even if the holy flag is the most righteous organization in the world, it will become Liang Xi's mortal enemy.

But Liang Xi lost a big helper. On the way back, the chief bodyguard in the passenger seat rarely said a few words: "Mr. Liang, I will fire Haim after I go back."

Bobby asked, "Why?"

The bodyguard said: "Thresh called Isa Medusa just now. When Haim joined the army, he was a field hacker in a special operations team. This group is called the Medusa team. I said before that Haim is a subordinate personality. The subordinate personality has a weakness, it will obey the authority. Medusa, the authority of the blade is far higher than that of me, the head of the bodyguard."

Liang Xi asked, "What is the Medusa group like?"

The bodyguard said: "The team that performs the most dangerous tasks includes going deep into the hinterland to rescue hostages, searching and capturing targets in cities full of armed men. Although they belong to the military establishment, they are actually under the jurisdiction of MI6."

Poppy asked, "Can you get another hacker?"

The bodyguard said: "Yes. But it is difficult to find a hacker who is willing to fight against the blade, is loyal to his employer, and has a high level of technology. Give me some time, I will find a way from overseas." Almost all the bodyguards know are from the battlefield hacker.Battlefield hackers are not only hackers, but also soldiers.Simply put, it is a technician in a team of action teams.After getting the mobile phone, they can crack the password and enter the mobile phone system on the spot.They can locate the target location through wireless signals.They can open electronic safes.They can prevent armed personnel from destroying computer data technically.They can use various means to keep the team in contact with the headquarters in various harsh environments.They can jam wireless signals, they can fight signal jamming.

Because they know too much, the level of their computers and the Internet is lower than that of hackers in the actual sense.Heim is a carefully selected talent because he belongs to the special operations team, and he is the highest-level battlefield hacker known by the bodyguard chief.

Loyalty is not the main concern of the bodyguard, because he can supervise the hackers.Ability is the core issue. Hackers who can only download and use network software are not the people Bobby and Liang Xi need.Most of the high-level private hackers are on the police watch list.In modern times, the destructive power of top computer experts is far higher than ordinary people's imagination.In the face of a storm-like ransomware virus, the power of the country is also helpless.

Liang Xi said: "I suggest not to fire Haim. Haim who has been identified has other ways to use him."

Bobby seconded: "I agree."

Chief bodyguard: "I let him be in charge of the security system of the manor."

Liang Xi has a piece of information about the driver of the truck sent to him by Kitty the Fan Team.Liang Xi was right in guessing that the truck driver was a local.The driver is Scottish, half-Arabic, and his mother and father were converted to the Holy Church after marriage.The other two terrorists are college students from the Middle East.Although the driver is dead, his information can let Liang Xi touch the foundation of Shengqi in the local area.

Daofeng definitely wants Driver Chu's details.What Liang Xi had to do was to find how many snakes fled in a hurry when the blade was striking the grass and startling the snakes.Without information from Daofeng, without the help of hackers, Liang Xi knew that he was weak, and he was not sure or confident.But he'll do it anyway because it's what he thinks should be done.

……

Karin went to France after all.As Liang Xi predicted, the internet celebrity killer disappeared this month.On the third day of goodbye to Thresh, Liang Xi received a message from Thresh in his email.Liang Xi didn't even read it, and forwarded the email to the email left by Yisha.Watching the news the next day, Liang Xi knew that Thresh was making trouble in Italy.

In the past few days, Liang Xi has also reduced his behavior in the detective agency because he has some money in his pocket.He began to respond to the invitations of fellow students in the same city to eat, and insisted on exercising lightly for an hour every day.In addition, Liang Xi began to arrange to trace the information of the driver of the terrorist truck. Liang Xi did not go out in person. He hired several informants in the driver's living area and asked them to understand the situation for him.Liang Xi is not interested in why the driver became a terrorist. Liang Xi's focus is: after the death of the driver, what changes have taken place in the people and things in the driver's living area.

The informants were: the driver's neighbor, a middle school student, the cleaning aunt of the freight company before the driver's death, and the bartender at the bar that the driver often went to before his death.The time is one month.Liang Xi believed that the strong cutting power of the blade would inevitably disturb some people in the area.Dao Feng is to investigate whether someone is suspected, and Liang Xi is to find out if anyone has changed their lifestyle after Dao Feng's investigation.

Investigating truck drivers is a job and a responsibility.What Liang Xi is really curious about is Yingla and Fiona.Did Yingluck go abroad to settle after the passport ban was lifted?Will Fiona follow Yingluck to settle abroad?With this idea in mind, Liang Xi accepted the invitation and participated in a celebration reception of the fan team.The atmosphere at the celebration reception was not good. Liang Xi asked Baker and learned that the captain of the anti-fan team resigned due to physical reasons. Before leaving, he recommended Liu Zhen to take over as the captain.But in the end, the National Police Agency dispatched the former commander of the Public Order Planning Team of the Operations Department of the National Police Agency to take over the post of chief commander.

The new captain has a civilian background, took office three fires, and issued many orders.The purpose is to strengthen the internal affairs management of the anti-fan team and standardize the use of official letters.Liu Zhen's 48-hour translation salary promised to Liang Xi was blocked by the captain.Baker told Liang Xi that in order to establish his prestige, the captain wanted Liu Zhen, who had the best performance, to bow his head to him.He is a layman in the pursuit of powder, but the head of the office political team is very slippery.

Because the captain deliberately suppressed Liu Zhen's team, the morale of the team was low. Even though they had just swept a batch of flour and held a celebration party, they were not elated.But if it is too much to say that the chief is wrong, the chief is asking them to strictly implement the police's internal regulations, the most important thing is the paperwork.

For example, in this operation, Baker's vehicle hit two trash cans and scratched street lights during the pursuit.Two trash cans have to write two reports separately, why are they scratching?What is the model of the trash can?Is the trash can broken?Was the car damaged?Before that, Liu Zhen just made a list and handed it to the captain for approval.

In addition, the captain thought that the base of Liu Zhen's team did not use management, and asked them to move back to the powder arresting place within a month.

Chapter 117 The Farewell Banquet

Under a series of administrative orders, everyone is tired of coping.In just 10 days, everyone changed from actively looking for flour to passively waiting for news of flour.The more things they do, the more chores they need to do.The worse news is that six people, including Owen and Murphy, have submitted applications for job transfers. The secret operations team, secret police team, and operation support team are all fine, as long as they leave the fan hunting team.Therefore, the captain was furious at Liu Zhen, thinking that Liu Zhen deliberately made things difficult for him, and encouraged his subordinates to resign to fight against him.

At this time, Liu Zhen received an invitation from the anti-terrorist command group.The anti-terrorism command group is under the Special Operations Department of the Police Agency, because there is MI5 in the front and the frontline police department in the back.The counter-terrorism command group has always been subordinate to the special operations department as an intelligence base, and most of the staff are civilians.Under the influence of the terrorist attack on Maria Hospital and recent terrorist cases, the parliament passed the anti-terrorism bill, and the anti-terrorism command team ushered in a male commander who was nearly fifty years old.

On the second day after taking office, the new commander announced that he would cut down 80% of the administrative staff, set up two action groups directly under the anti-terrorism command group, and increase and strengthen the hardware equipment of the department.On the third day after taking office, the new commander went to meet Liu Zhen in person at the base of Liu Zhen’s squad of the Anti-fan Team, and the two talked for about an hour.On the fourth day, the transfer order from the anti-terrorism command group was sent to the anti-powder corps.The captain has agreed to Liu Zhen's transfer, and now he is waiting for Liu Zhen's personal opinion.

Why do we need an anti-terrorism command group when we have a blade?The Metropolitan Police, also known as Scotland Yard, has counter-terrorism units in several major departments.The major departments are the Frontline Police Department, the Operations Department directly under the Police Department, the Special Operations Department, the Professional Duties Department, and so on.There are three departments in the special operations part. The first department is the security command, which includes providing security services for the royal family and diplomatic personnel.Safeguard public property and facilities.The second department is the Security Command, which mainly provides security services for landmark buildings and airports.The final division is the Counter Terrorism Command Group (Department).

The anti-terrorism headquarters mainly focuses on protection, while other anti-terrorism departments such as Blade mainly focus on investigation and pursuit of terrorists.Therefore, for a long time, the counter-terrorism headquarters was just a counter-terrorism intelligence repository, not responsible for specific actions.

Liu Zhen is not a good detective, but she is a good leader.She ordered decisively, worked efficiently, and was never timid.At the same time, Liu Zhen has strong regional tactical command capabilities and is an excellent tactical executive.

Liang Xi never expected that the reason for Liu Zhen's job change was himself.The anti-fan team rejected Liu Zhen's request for a 48-hour translation fee, and the anti-terrorism command team gave Liu Zhen a 48-hour translation fee instead, so Liu Zhen decisively signed his name on the transfer agreement.Liu Zhenxin's boss agreed that Liu Zhen would choose some of the players himself.Liu Zhen's team is composed of ten members. Because the new boss uses the old to lead the new personnel structure, the new boss has selected five very young members with military experience for Liu Zhen's team, with an average age of less than 26 years old.Facing the team of more than 20 people directly under his fan hunting team, Liu Zhen was very distressed with five places in his hand.

Liang Xi originally planned to give some advice, but Liu Zhenyi realized how complicated and troublesome bureaucratic administration and office politics are.The captain needs people, some people he won't let go, some team members hope to get the vacancy after Liu Zhen leaves, and some team members don't want to go to the anti-terrorism command group.Those who want to leave will not be let go.You can't pull if you don't want to go.You don't like what you want to come.

Therefore, Liang Xi did not ask about Fiona and Yingla's situation at the celebration party, and Liang Xi left after drinking the black tea.This is not a celebration party, it is clearly a farewell banquet.

……

A stomach full of black tea soon made Liang Xi urgent to urinate, but luckily it was not far from the detective agency.The car parked in the private parking space on the side, Liang Xi sucked his sphincter and walked towards the detective agency in small steps, not forgetting to send a smile to the familiar restaurant owner.Liang Xi hurried up the stairs and saw the little devil Wendy.

Wendy was still holding Winnie the Pooh and carrying a small schoolbag.Seeing Liang Xi showing a little bit of his front teeth, he grinned: "Hi, badass detective."

Liang Xi pushed Wendy aside, opened the door and entered the detective agency, looked back at Wendy with pouting lips, finally did not close the door, and rushed to the bathroom in a hurry.

The water flowed down three thousand feet, and the water level in the toilet rose ten meters.This sentence is an exaggeration, but after the water is released, Liang Xi's comfort can be described as if the sky is peeing, the sky will be old, so that one pee does not go to bed early.

Feeling refreshed and looking at Wendy much more pleasing to the eye, Liang Xi greeted, "Come in."

Liang Xi took a seat in the office area, pointed to the refrigerator, and signaled Wendy to take it by herself.It is more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and Wendy has been out of class for an hour.Wendy's Baihan Primary School is a little far away from the detective agency, and she came here by subway.Student Liang Xi often takes the subway, while detective Liang Xi only travels by car.Others are going somewhere to work or going home.It is very likely that Liang Xi will need to change places when he goes out, and then another place.Accidentally leave the city.

Wendy didn't go to get a drink, she sat down and looked at Liang Xi and asked, "Is Karin your girlfriend?"

Liang Xi replied, "No."

Wendy: "Oh."

Liang Xi asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Wendy said: "Yes."

Wendy lives in a relatively remote villa in the Baihan community. There is an old woman living across the road from her house.The grandmother passed away last month. After the grandmother's funeral, the grandmother's niece specially brought gifts to visit the neighbors.On the one hand, the niece is grateful to the neighbors for taking care of the old lady over the years. Another reason is that the niece does not plan to sell the house. She plans to work in London after finishing her university studies in Oxford.Ask the neighbors to keep an eye out for her when the house is empty, and don't let homeless people live in it.

Five days ago on a Saturday night, Wendy's childhood friend and classmate, a boy, sneaked up to Wendy at 10:30 p.m.The boy is the same as Wendy, his parents are not at home all year round, Wendy is taken care of by the nanny, and the boy is taken care of by his aunt.They have long regarded the grandmother's house as their temporary base.The two children slipped in through the dog door at the main entrance, and went to the room on the second floor to light a candle and play mobile games.

They blew out the candles around 12 o'clock and were about to leave when they heard noises from the next room.It sounded like a window being pulled open.Although the two were very scared, they still went downstairs without a sound, got out of the dog door and returned to their respective homes.The next day the boy dragged his aunt to see Wendy. It turned out that the aunt didn't believe the boy's words.After Wendy confirmed it, the aunt called the police.

The community police did not find any signs of breaking the door, but they still contacted the grandmother and niece.There are only some simple furniture covered with plastic paper in the grandmother's house, and there are no valuable things.The police believe there are two possibilities. One may be a thief who entered the house and found no valuable stolen items.One possibility is that the two children got it wrong.Although the little boy is suspicious, the community police don't think cute Wendy is lying.

Because of this, the two parents rushed home that day.

The night before yesterday, the little boy who wanted to be a hero squatted until midnight and found out that he must have seen a flickering light in the old granny's house. He thought it was a flashlight.The next day my aunt couldn't hold back the boy and contacted the community police.The community police took video and photos of the house to contact the grandmother and niece.The grandmother and niece who lived in Oxford confirmed that no one had touched the furniture, doors and windows.

At this time, the community police had a hypothesis. They suspected that the two children lied together in order to get the company of their parents.They expressed sympathy for Wendy and contacted Wendy's parents.Wendy's parents said they would definitely spend time with their children.Wendy tried to defend the little boy, but she hadn't kept watch the night before and hadn't seen the lights.

Yesterday evening, Wendy's parents returned home together. They comforted Wendy and told Wendy that they will return to work in London in a few months, and then they will have more time to accompany Wendy.On the other side, the little boy's parents accepted the police's hypothesis, and the father warned the little boy in a stern tone.Today at school, the two talked about their encounters. In order to help her friend, Wendy approached Liang Xi again.

Chapter 118 Personnel Changes

Liang Xi patiently listened to Wendy explain the layout of the house and the furniture in the room.When it was over, Liang Xi asked Wendy, "What do you think the intruder's purpose is?"

Wendy opened her eyes wide and thought for a long time, then asked, "Is the old grandma back?"

"Are you asking for it?" Liang Xi took out his mobile phone to contact Bobby: "Hell, there is a sixth one. The five free times are over. Come and talk about the price."

Bobby was depressed: "I'm afraid I can't go back to England for a while."

"Is there anything more important than seeing a ghost?" Damn it!How did you not die on an alien planet the first five times?

Bobby explained weakly: "The origin of the story: I met a poor girl who needed help last weekend. I helped her, and she thanked me in her own way. Because she was so touched, she wanted to thank me again. I am not the kind People who took advantage, so I traveled to Bali. In Bali, I met another girl who needed help. You know, our family invests a lot of money in charity every year. So I helped her, she Thanked me in my own way, but the police don't seem to think so."

Liang Xi: "Speak human words."

Bobby: "Thunder strike."

Liang Xi was angry: "Say the parrot grows beards."

Bobby sighed, it turned out that the impoverished girl he helped in London was a beautiful duckling, not only a swan, but also a super swan.The girl is the youngest daughter of the head brother of the Kofu family.The youngest daughter hides her identity and works as an employee in a real estate company of the Kofu family. She is preparing to write a thesis on the grassroots management of the enterprise.When walking to the subway station after get off work, he was pushed off the sidewalk and almost collided with Bobby's car, so the two met. Bobby invited dinner to apologize.

The girl rejected Bobby's euphemistic invitation, and the next day Bobby went to the girl's company to meet the girl, and asked the girl for help in the name of buying a real estate discount.The girl made the business because thanks for another dinner.Because the house bought by Bobby can be seen clearly through a certain hotel, so the girl Bobby went to the hotel to look at the house he just bought.

Bobby drank a glass of red wine with the girl, and gave a gemstone necklace to express his gratitude to the girl for helping with the discount.When helping with a necklace...

Bobby didn't know that he was in big trouble, and before leaving, he put ten thousand pounds in cash on the table.On the same day, the girl's sister chased Bobby's house furiously.Bobby's housekeeper Daisy contacted Bobby's father after learning that it was Kefu's person.Poppy's father talked to the girl's father for a few minutes, telling the housekeeper that the young man's business was to be taken care of by himself.

The bodyguards slammed east and west, covering Bobby to leave through the back door and rush to the airport.Poppy flew to Indonesia on a private jet.After playing for a few days, my vigilance was lax, so I helped another American female college student who was traveling in Bali.Afterwards, the female college student called the police and said that she had been pointed at the wall.The head of the bodyguard discovered early on that the female college student had other plans, so he took a video of them intimately entering the room and playing together.The police accepted the evidence provided by the Chief of Bodyguards.At this time, the bodyguard found out that the female college student was hired by the Kefu girl to frame Bobby.

Bobby met the Kefu girl, and Bobby asked how to solve this matter, and the girl said that she could only get married.Bobby made it clear to the girl that he would not marry her even if he went to jail, but the girl slapped Bobby and ran away crying.

Poppy is now banned from leaving the country by a local court in Bali.According to the lawyer, there is no way for Bobby to leave Indonesia within at least half a month.

Liang Xi could feel the love and hatred contained in it and the grievances of wealthy families.Girls are sure to have a lot of stories, and Poppy will soon have a lot of them too.Seeing his friend's misfortune, Liang Xi felt sad, and comforted him, "Bobby, on the bright side, at least she confiscated the money. Haha!" How can I not get my shoes wet when I often walk by the river.

Damn you for being taken for a ride, five times for free and you're fine.I'm about to charge, I've already thought out my lines, but you're not free?

There's no other way, Wendy's blond brother is not free, so I have to go here as a badass detective.

Liang Xi hung up the phone to look at the cute ghost Wen Xi, who looked at Liang Xi fearlessly as a newborn calf. After a long time, Liang Xi asked, "Have you prepared the investigation fee?"

Wendy continued to look at Liang Ji for a few seconds, then unzipped Winnie the Pooh, took out two one-pound notes and put them on the coffee table.Liang Xi frowned and looked at the two pounds: "It's hard for you to do things for you with this little money." The most basic gas money can't be reimbursed, and there was still 20 pounds last time.

Wendy looked at Liang Xi pitifully, Liang Xi had no choice but to accept a pound, took a note on the tea table and wrote a phone number: "This is my phone number, call me in three days to inquire about the situation."

Liang Xi contacted Wendy's nanny again. The nanny knew of Liang Xi's existence and that Wendy had disturbed her several times. She was very sorry not to apologize to Liang Xi.Liang Xi told her that it doesn't matter, please come and pick up the child.If the little thing doesn't leave, he still has to take care of himself.

Liang Xi contacted Baker by phone: "Drink less and pick me up at my apartment building at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Baker asked, "What's the matter?"

Liang Xi replied: "Bobby is accused of being on the top of the wall."

Baker replied, "See you at eight."

Liang Xi hung up the phone and added in his heart that because Bobby was accused of being on the top of the wall, he was not accompanied by anyone.Liang Xi didn't explain the situation. One reason was that Baker and the others were drinking and not in the mood, and the environment did not allow him to explain things clearly.The second reason is that Liang Xi is not sure whether Dao Feng is still monitoring his phone.

Liang Xi doesn't necessarily need Baker, but Liang Xi needs a police badge.With police badge friends, why sneak into the house illegally?

……

Baker has a carefree personality, and when he picked up Liang Xi, he had already forgotten why Liang Xi asked him out today.Liang Xi briefly introduced the situation. In order to explain that he was not impulsive, Liang Xi explained that Wendy and Bobby knew each other, and Bobby asked him to go and see.In fact, Liang Xi didn't know how to explain to Baker why he took the order.This also reflected Liang Xi's preconceived ideas. He thought that Wen Xi should make a mistake this time, right?

Baker contacted the community police by phone and made an appointment to meet.In the car, Baker talked about personnel changes.The celebration ended at [-] pm yesterday, and a series of things happened last night. At [-]:[-] in the morning, the kitten contacted Baker to inform him of the personnel change, so that Baker could prepare himself mentally.

Today, Liu Zhen officially reported to the anti-terrorism headquarters. She took away the 40-year-old Adduo. Adduo was the only member of the anti-fan team whose captain voluntarily agreed to his transfer.The reason is that Ah Duo is old and prestige, and he is Liu Zhen's right-hand man. If such a person stays in his team, he will only cause trouble for him.At about eleven o'clock last night, the captain called Baker. Although he didn't say it clearly, the captain hinted to Baker that he wanted Baker to take over Liu Zhen's position.

Baker wanted to hear the opinion of Liang Xi, an outsider. Liang Xi replied: "After the fan team has completed personnel adjustments and the captain has stabilized his dominant position, he will no longer take those administrative orders seriously. Liu, who can threaten his status, is his only goal." , once Liu Zhen leaves, the fan hunting team will still be the fan hunting team."

Baker said: "Captain Liu wants to take me away, but the chief will not let me go. If you want to leave, you can only find the assistant superintendent."

Liang Xi said: "Bobby's uncle is the assistant superintendent of the professional duty department. Judging by your attitude, I think Bobby is willing to help."

Baker thought for a while and said, "I want to be a special police officer."

Baker is an agent in the Fan Squad.Among the three teams directly under Liu Zhen's jurisdiction, the commando team's work is not highly technical and does not require too much brainpower.Switching from a senior detective to a special police officer is a huge step backward.

Baker's attitude is very firm. Even if Liu Zhen is really given the job, he doesn't want to stay in the fan hunting team.The reason was that their commando team had all dispersed, and Owen and Murphy transferred their resumes back to the personnel department and accepted the personnel department's re-arrangement.Ardo went to the Counter Terrorism Office.There were only seven people in the team, and Baker was already disheartened after such a breakup.

Liang Xi didn't know what to say, but fortunately, Baker's attitude was so good that he didn't take it too seriously.Even so, Liang Xi still contacted Bobby about Baker when he was going to the bathroom at the gas station.

Chapter 119 Beam Reasoning

When we arrived at the grandmother's house, the community police were already waiting here.The community police contacted the grandmother's niece by phone and obtained the right to enter the house.After the community police helped to open the door, since Baker was a senior detective, who knows what kind of ghost case he was investigating, the community police didn't inquire or stay, and asked Baker to contact him if he needed help.

The granny's house is a traditional two-and-a-half-story house, with a half-story low attic for heat insulation and storage.

There are many large pieces of furniture in the house.They are all objects that are difficult to carry and handle, such as coffee tables, sofas, TVs, and reclining chairs, all wrapped tightly in plastic paper.Liang Xi said as he walked: "The reason why I suspect that Wendy may have made a mistake is because of the candles. All the windows are tight and the curtains are drawn tight. The child lights candles in the house, and this smell can't dissipate for a long time. People who may exist, we It’s called Keren, but Keren came once and smelled the candle, why did he come a second time? However, we must assume that what Wendy said is true.”

Liang Xidao: "I don't believe the thief. If the thief knows that the house is unoccupied, he will first check to see if there are any valuables. The thief is very technical through the pipes on the wall, and pry open the windows on the second floor to enter the house." This kind of window is not something that ordinary thieves can open from the outside without destroying it. A thief of this level is unlikely to make a low-level mistake and steal a house without valuables.”

"Naturally, the possibility of homeless people is also ruled out. I have a few guesses. The first guess is whether there are antiques or expensive furniture in the house." Liang Xi pulled off the plastic paper and then covered it again.Not only does it have little value, but it is also a post-money item.In big cities, the most distressing thing is not garbage sorting or construction waste, but the replacement of large pieces of furniture.The first way is to give it to the waste collectors for free, and then subsidize some money to let them help with the processing.The second way is to give money to those who give new furniture and let them take away the old furniture.

Liang Xi and Baker spent 15 minutes checking all the furniture and items upstairs and downstairs to confirm that they were of no value.Liang Xi put forward the second hypothesis: "There is a dark room." From the thickness of the wall and the layout of the room, there is no dark room.The only possibility is the basement.The house has an obvious basement, so is there a dark basement?

10 minutes later, Baker and Liang Xi searched again to no avail.

Liang Xi said: "The third possibility is that the house is an observation post."

But it was quickly denied by the facts, because there were no valuable observation targets around.

Baker asked, "And then?"

"Start to reverse the doubts. The first doubt, as I said before, is that the two children were lighting candles in the room, and the villain didn't notice it? The child said he heard the sound of the window. The second doubt is that the grandmother's house has a front entrance and a backyard. The door has two entrances and exits, and I checked the two locks, which are very simple ordinary key locks." Liang Xi walked to the back door and said: "The door gap is very large, even those who do not have the ability to pick the lock can easily lock it with a hard card." Quickly open the lock. If you are more stupid, use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the guard ring, turn the inner screw, and you can directly remove the entire lock."

Baker didn't understand: "Where is the doubt?"

Liang Xi reminded: "The window."

Baker suddenly said: "Since the door lock is so simple, and there are two front and back doors, it is still midnight, and there is no need for the villain to climb the window. It is related to the smell of candles, that is to say, when the villain is in the house, the two children go into the house. Later, the bad guys had something to do, or they didn’t know how long the two children would stay, so they left through the window.”

Liang Xi said: "Yes, there is another evidence to prove this point. The first time the two children heard the sound of the window, they ran away. The second time is that the boy saw the light. Assuming that the first time has alarmed the bad guys, the second time Will the bad guy show up again? The premise of our investigation is: suppose the two children tell the truth. What is the purpose of the bad guy?"

Baker said: "The ground is very clean, the doors and windows are closed, and there is even very little dust. No traces of human beings staying for a long time, such as food residues, were found. No furniture was lost."

"If you haven't lost anything, there might be too many things." Assuming first, and then ruling out the hypothesis, Liang Xi picked up the phone and dialed Bobby's number.
