fog city detective

Isa agreed with Robert's argument, saying: "The point now is not Liang Xi, but Luke. If Luke dies in our hands, the blade will basically be like this. The question I am worried about is: who revealed our safe house information? Is the person in charge of the safe house trustworthy?"

Robert's analysis: "Red and Blue Twin Rivers have no problem. They have deadly weapons. If there is a problem, Luke may already be dead. Except they know Luke's information, only our agents and orders are left to take over Luke's security. Assistant Director of Operations. Since we don't know who Luke wants to testify against, it is difficult for us to dig out this person in a short time."

Robert said: "If we can't dig out the ghost, it's useless for us to change the safe house. The killer will find a new safe house. The ghost is familiar with the transfer route, the route and time to the hearing, and it is impossible to guard against."

Yisha heard something and asked, "You mean asking Liang Xi to help us catch the ghost?"

Robert said: "It's the sniper information he provided, at least he didn't intend to kill Luke."

Yisha nodded, picked up the phone, thought about her words, and contacted Liang Xi.

"Hi, Isa."

Isa asked, "Busy?"

Liang Xi said, "I'm a bit busy today."

Isa asked, "What's the matter?"

Liang Xi said: "I don't know either. Mary called me to have afternoon tea. If you need something, I need it. Yisha, what's the matter?"

Isa said, "Do you still remember Monica?"

Liang Xi said: "Luke, right? I know. If you die, you'll die. It's no big deal." Liang Xi really didn't care whether Luke lived or died, and he didn't care what big shots Luke would bite out.After the death of any important person, someone will fill in this hole immediately, and the job may not be worse than him.

As a character in the film, Isa did not answer Liang Xi's words, and said politely: "We think there may be loopholes in the security personnel around Luke."

Liang Xi said: "This understanding is a bit contradictory. Reasonably, someone should disclose the information. But if this person can leak the information without being discovered by you, he should be able to deal with Luke easily. Ask a question and turn on the hands-free ?"

Isa: "No, only I can hear."

Liang Xi asked, "Has Yingluck not left the UK yet?"

Isa looked at Fiona and replied, "Yes."

Liang Xi: "It's not easy to say."

Isa: "Go ahead."

Liang Xi said: "The last meeting between Thresh and I focused on violent criminal gangs. I think he may know this gang. These are just my assumptions. Assuming this may be true, it means a lot of things. Although it is not intentional, I After all, it has ruined other people’s relationship between husband and wife. I’m not good at saying some things. You can experiment and let Fiona misunderstand that you are going to transfer at a certain time, such as transferring Luke tomorrow morning. You let Fiona go home to accompany Yingluck , and see if your escort vehicle will be attacked the next day. If it is not attacked, it means that the inner ghost is really your insider."

Isa said: "Is there any basis for your statement?"

Liang Xi said: "There is no basis. It is extremely difficult and cumbersome to check your internal ghosts. I am sure I can't do it. But it is relatively difficult and feasible to check whether Yingla is a troublemaker. You are in the office. You can only be suspicious, why don't you act and rule out Yingluck's suspicion first."

Isa said: "Can you help us? We can provide salary."

Liang Xi was very sorry: "Thank you for your invitation, and I'm glad to be of help. But Mary has something to do with me, so I shouldn't be able to spare time today. I'm very sorry."

Isa said: "Okay, call me when you are free."

Liang Xi replied: "Okay, goodbye."

Liang Xi hung up the phone and thought deeply: "Before Thresh came, a chameleon gang appeared in Europe. After Thresh appeared, the chameleon disappeared. Thresh left and another violent criminal gang appeared. There must be a relationship between them. But I can't even figure it out, what is the identity of Thresh's behind-the-scenes boss?"

Baker asked while driving: "Could it be a secret organization like a fraternity with big men as members."

Liang Xi said: "I don't know. Yisha must know some information, otherwise she couldn't tell me: Thresh's boss is more terrifying than Shengqi. Being able to tell me this sentence shows that she has basic trust in me." The reason for answering Isha's question with a good attitude.It can be seen from this that Robert's analysis of Liang Xi is relatively correct, but not entirely correct.

During the chat, the two arrived at Marie's house, where Marie was playing a game of throwing a ball with Guillardo.Liang Xi introduced Baker, and Baker and Mary greeted each other cheek by cheek. Mary liked Baker, a spirited guy, and asked Liang Xi to help prepare afternoon tea, and chatted with Baker herself.Seeing that Mary was not in a hurry, Liang Xi was not in a hurry to ask.

……

Mary was invited by the community to give a two-hour baking class every Friday evening at a bakery near the community center.On Saturday mornings, the bakery sells the food and the proceeds go to community charities.Less than a month after the baking class started, a big fish exploded. An international celebrity chef recorded some clips of his baking class in his short video, and said that Mary's baking level surpassed many professional accidents.

The community leased the bar next door to the restaurant for this purpose.Both the bakery and the bar became Mary’s baking class classrooms on Friday. Considering Mary’s age, the community charity sent two young people to help Mary, and the number of participants in the class was limited to 20 people.

Mary met a student girl in the baking class. The more she got in touch with the girl, the better she felt, so she wanted to recommend it to Liang Xi.Today happened to be Friday, and Mary planned to ask Liang Xi to accompany her to class.

Liang Xi supported his head with one hand, tilted his head, and ate a donut, trying to show his disgust.Mary didn't see it: "This girl is a chef, and it is said that she has her own small restaurant. She is full of great enthusiasm for food."

Liang Xi: "Mary, my name is Liang Xi, not food."

Mary further induced: "People are very beautiful."

Liang Xidao: "There are beautiful women all over the street. Besides, she has her own small restaurant, has time to learn baking, and has a passion for food. This girl must have no financial worries and is a rich person. Do you like it?" She means that she is polite, can speak, has extensive experience, has a good family education, and is a typical lady. Excuse me, why do people like me?"

Baker put up his hand and volunteered: "I can try." Doesn't sound good.

Mary clapped Baker's hand away, and said patiently, "I told her about you, and she was quite interested."

Liang Xi asked, "What did you say about me?"

Mary said: "Upright, smart, good-looking..."

Liang Xi interrupted and asked, "Mary, did you tell her that I am a detective?"

Mary shook her head: "No."

Liang Xi asked: "Did you tell her that the apartment I live in is the size of a palm, and I like to stay in the detective agency and read books every day, and I have no other hobbies?"

"I said you were hired by the police as a language expert who charges up to 80 pounds per hour." Mary couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking.

Liang Xi also laughed, moved and helpless.

Mary said seriously: "I said you would show up tonight."

Liang Xi nodded: "Go, go, I'll go, there's nothing else to do anyway." It seems that today's exercise can be passed.What about an hour of exercise a day?From a conscience point of view, it should be, but if there is something important, there is no way.You can get by in normal times, but that kind of mess always feels like you've lost something.

Karin, who lives in France, is slowly increasing her physical activity.From the original high leg lifts, it has now become wall squats, yoga moves, push-ups, sit-ups, and planks.If all the moves were not demonstrated by Karin herself, Liang Xi would have given up early.Now after getting up every Monday morning, Liang Xi is used to turning on the computer to receive emails. He is a little worried that he will not receive emails one day, and he is also curious about the day when he will not receive emails.

23-year-old Liang Xi's feelings are like lava cakes on the table. The surface is rough and dry. Once dug in with a spoon, the cake will erupt like lava and cover the whole cake.Currently the only ones who can dig this lava cake are Fiona and Karin.Unfortunately, one cannot be dug, and the other has no time to dig, so the lava cake can only remain in a rough and dry state.

Chapter 122 Baking Class

While chatting and drinking tea, Baker received a mysterious phone call. After hanging up the phone, he was a little unbelievable: "The commander of the Southern District Criminal Department of the frontline police department asked me if I would like to join the Southern District Criminal Department. The three criminal departments, North and North, are all under the jurisdiction of the front-line police department. In addition to investigating criminal cases within the jurisdiction, they also reinforce and assist towns and groups in the investigation of major criminal cases.

Liang Xi said happily: "This is very good." Baker is still a senior agent.

Baker hesitated, "I'm not familiar with criminal investigation."

Liang Xi persuaded: "You can learn if you are not familiar with it." Liang Xi guessed that in all likelihood, it was Bobby who found someone to think of a way.Bobby is a person who wants to save face, and it is impossible for Baker to transfer to a position lower than the current position's professional status.

Baker still shook his head: "I still don't like to use my brain."

Liang Xi said: "How can there be so many professional crimes? Now there are more and more public security cameras, and criminal investigation technology is becoming more and more professional. All you have to do is visit, record and interrogate this aspect. Bobby will definitely not send you Arranged in an embarrassing position."

Baker asked, "Bobby arranged?"

Liang Xi nodded: "I guess, Bobby's uncle seems to be an assistant police superintendent. In terms of your qualifications and achievements in the police, you were transferred from the anti-powder team to the criminal investigation team. To contact powder criminals, you need an expert detective who is familiar with the flour market."

Baker is someone who is easily persuaded by his mouth, and he thinks what Liang Xi said makes sense.Although his ideal is to be a special police officer, criminal investigation is also possible, at least he can leave the current turbulent anti-fan team.Under the leadership of the new captain, the anti-fan team must be getting more and more sad every day.From the bottom up, the honed boss pays more attention to the process and achievements, regardless of the details.The boss who is airborne by clerks pays more attention to rules and regulations and focuses on small details.Do more and make more mistakes is their motto.

Baker got up to say goodbye to Mary. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and he was going to the Southern District Criminal Investigation Department to have a direct interview with the commander.Liang Xi and Mary knew each other so well that they didn't need to talk. After Baker left, the two drank tea leisurely and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon tea time quietly.

……

Before eight o'clock in the evening, [-] students had arrived at the baking class, and everyone applauded to welcome Mary.Mary responded with a smile, introduced Liang Xi, and said, "Today we are going to make the refrigerated mousse cake that we made last week. Everyone's products were good last week, but they can't be called the best. There are two reasons. , the first reason is that you are too observant of the time, instead of judging and modifying the time through the product. The second reason is that some students have overlooked the fact that gelatin tablets taste unpalatable after being soaked in water. Geely Ginger is melted by water and cannot be stirred. After absorbing the water, use a cloth to absorb the excess water to reduce the fishy smell of gelatine as much as possible.”

Mary said: "The Community Charity Committee also asked me to express my gratitude to everyone. The cakes and desserts made by everyone have been very popular in the past few weeks, and a lot of money has been raised. Thank you."

Everyone applauds.

Mary said, "Let's get started."

Everyone gets busy, either alone or in pairs, depending on their respective relationships.Do more for those who are capable, and less for those who are not.Mary is in charge of coaching and figuring out what's wrong with their food.Not only do the students get to learn, but they are also delighted to help raise money for good.

Community charitable funds are usually only used in the community, and they can be used for many purposes, such as organizing community activities, helping people in need in the community, hiring more community police, improving the community environment, donating to community school libraries, building sports venues, etc.Community councils are voluntarily applied by community members and voted by community residents according to the applicants.These people are not paid, and not every community has a community council.Usually, communities with stable residents and a group income of around the middle will form community councils.It is similar to the owners' committee, but it is more transparent in handling affairs and residents have a stronger sense of participation.

There are a lot of people in need of help in a community, including the handicapped, the widowed elderly, the pink gentleman, the bankrupt, etc. In most cases, these people need to be self-reliant, or seek help from the city hall and charities.If there is a community council in the community where you live, you can contact the community council directly.

(British people are very enthusiastic about community building. If you are interested, you can find out. Another reader reminded that there is no one-pound banknote in the UK, and the minimum denomination of banknotes is 5 pounds.)

Mary led Liang Xi to a woman in a white chef's uniform: "Sophia, he is Liang Xi."

"Nice to meet you." Liang Xi shook hands with Sophia.Sophia is not very old, but her eyes are big, she is beautiful and pleasant, and the first impression she gives is elegance.Compared with the polite smile of ordinary people, she is more attentive, making you feel that she smiles after seeing you, instead of looking at you with a smile.Like gourmets, some people praise food after chewing it once or twice, which is called courtesy praise.Some people will praise the food after chewing it and come back to taste the quality of the food. Whether this kind of praise is sincere or false, it will make the other party very comfortable.

Liang Xi judged that Sophia was a girl who had received special etiquette training.The word specialized has a special meaning here.General etiquette training requires hands, feet, smiling, standing, sitting, etc.Special etiquette training is an etiquette training method passed down from nobles to society, with only one core: elegance.Elegance is a kind of temperament that can be comprehensively reflected in a person's gestures, words, expressions, etc., giving people a sense of nobility.A woman who can only smile professionally is a hotel welcome, and a woman whose smile can reflect her elegance may be Miss Fu.

Liang Xi has predicted Sophia's situation through Mary's background description of Sophia.The situation was better than I thought, but it was not beyond my expectations, so there was no sense of surprise or surprise.Liang Xi was gentle and polite, and chatted with Sophia politely.Of course, Mary was dissatisfied, and used her power for personal gain: "Sophia is a professional chef. Liang Xi, you are in charge of helping Sofia today and making as many cakes as possible."

Liang Xi nodded, "Okay." Now that he's here, he's already mentally prepared.

Sophia was not shy or embarrassed, she was generous: "Mr. Liang, you have to work hard today."

Liang Xi said, "Just call me Liang Xi."

Seeing this, Mary was very satisfied and left.

……

The conversation between Liang Xi and Sophia was very normal, tepid, with a small amount of humor, appropriate topics, and social pressure caused by unfamiliarity.But it can be dealt with more easily.Both of them had no intention of developing in the direction Mary wanted, and they planned to just keep busy and chat about the past.Until a male student who was making cakes with his girlfriend came over.

"Excuse me, are you Koko?"

Sophia was taken aback, and replied with a little embarrassment: "Yes, hello."

"Nice to meet you." The male student's expression was obvious: Fuck, why are you here?After coping with it, the male student returned to his girlfriend and said something in a low voice, and the girlfriend looked at Sofia.Soon the girlfriend took off the gloves and quietly took pictures with her mobile phone.

Liang Xi took a step forward, his puffy body blocked his sight, his girlfriend watched it for a while and finally gave up and continued making cakes, but kept whispering to her boyfriend.Kou Kou changed her unrestrained and generous personality, became taciturn, buried her head in work without saying a word.

Liang Xi is just a little bit smarter, but his IQ and memory are about the same as ordinary people. Liang Xi remembers where he heard the name Kou Kou, but he still can't remember it.Taking advantage of the opportunity to get the kitchen utensils, Liang Xi checked on his mobile phone and found out that Kou Kou was the eighth on the UK list of rotten bananas last month.Most of the people who can be on this list have done uncomfortable or unpleasant things.

Kou Kou is a small Internet celebrity on Xiatube (the most famous short video website in the universe). The reason for her fame is that she teaches people how to cook without showing her face, so many people want to see her face.The visible dishes are not attractive, but the invisible face has attracted the attention of countless people, Kou Kou became famous for this.Kou Kou has a small restaurant of his own on a commercial street near the wealthy district, with only two tables, and it only opens on weekends every week, and only accepts reservations from acquaintances, and only accepts dinner.All the food is cooked by Kou Kou, delivered and packed by herself.

To put it simply, it's just playing, but Kou Kou plays very seriously, and her cooking skills are quite good.

A month and a half ago, a woman took two women to a restaurant, calling Kou Kou a vixen, seducing her husband, calling Kou Kou a little four, a fourth, and so on.Kou Kou was beaten, the restaurant was smashed, and the police intervened in the investigation.Because the identity of Kou Kou Xiaowanghong is a public figure and has public influence.The police reported the case anonymously.Confirm that the boyfriend Kou Kou is dating is the legal husband of the batterer.

The assailant behaved miserably in front of the camera, describing her husband as treating the assailant, and was forced to accept Kou Kou's commands like a dog.Someone dug out that Kou Kou was the illegitimate daughter of a rich man. This rich man had a bad reputation and even humiliated and mocked the poor in public.Under the arrangement of the driving force behind the scenes, Kou Kou became the target of a week-long attack.This was also her bad luck, she was originally just a small internet celebrity, but no one more popular came out to take over the offer, so she had to resist for a week.A week later, the restaurant closed and Kou Kou disappeared.I didn't expect to move to this community.

After the launch of Rotten Banana, some big internet celebrities commented on the rankings. When it came to Kou Kou, they named Push Hands and mocked the IQ of many netizens who attacked Kou Kou.This big internet celebrity is a person who has become famous by ridiculing the IQ of the keyboard man every day. He announced the truth of the whole thing about Kou Kou in the second short video.

Truth [-]: Not a boyfriend at all, but someone who helped Kou Kou, and they are friends.What's even more frightening is that the man approached Kou Kou purposefully.

Truth [-]: Kou Kou is an illegitimate daughter.The mastermind behind the whole thing is Koko's father's wife.The reason is that when the wife listens to her husband reprimanding her children, she repeatedly regards Kou Kou as a positive role model, which makes her unbearable.

Truth [-]: The whole thing is operated by a certain pushing hands company.

This ignited the enthusiasm of netizens again, and then something bad happened.The rich man divorced his wife, but the wife disagreed.The wife used her own account to live broadcast to netizens, and said a lot of touching words between the husband and wife, explaining the harm Kou Kou had done to their family. Finally, she apologized to everyone and took sleeping pills. Naturally, she was rescued by enthusiastic netizens calling the police.After this incident, due to the mainstream's distaste for Xiao Si and sympathy for the original partner, Kou Kou's voice of criticism is far higher than the voice of sympathy.The main reason is that the neutral people will not waste time paying attention to Kou Kou after they think that Kou Kou is fine.The sympathetic voice came from Kou Kou's big fans, they were very angry that Kou Kou was raped by the Internet.It's a pity that the person involved, Kou Kou, has never spoken out, allowing her father's wife to fabricate various rumors.Although this incident slowly dissipated with the passage of time, the label was also printed on Kou Kou's body.

Liang Xi saw the incidental news in the mobile push.In five days, 2000 Internet celebrities from Europe will be invited to participate in the first Internet celebrity festival held by media tycoon Johnson.At the Internet Celebrity Festival, they will compete for huge prizes, and the whole process will be broadcast live on the Internet.The prize money is rumored to be as high as £[-] million.Kou Kou was one of the invitees.

Considering that some Internet celebrities cannot take care of themselves, the Internet celebrity festival allows each Internet celebrity to bring an assistant to participate in the Internet celebrity festival.

Liang Xi came back, and after being busy for a while, he kindly reminded: "Don't participate in the Internet celebrity festival."

"Oh." A very coping answer.

"Johnson is a suspected Internet celebrity killer."

"Huh?" There was surprise this time.

Liang Xi said: "I'm a detective, I suggest you not to participate."

Kou Kou did things in silence, and said after a while: "I have agreed to participate."

Liang Xi asked: "Why?" From the information I read, I can roughly infer Kou Kou's character. She is not a proactive person and does not like to participate in the so-called Internet celebrity festival.

Kou Kou replied: "My mother asked me to participate, she said I need to face everything bravely."

Kou Kou is indeed the illegitimate daughter of a rich man, but Kou Kou's mother is also rich.She was his partner back then, and love arose during the cooperation.Because the original partner hit the door, the two sides separated.Fu Hao has not had any contact with Kou Kou's mother since then, but he often visits Kou Kou and even takes Kou Kou on a trip.

The original partner is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is a full-fledged member of the Clement family and is Poppy's cousin.It is precisely because of marrying her that Fu Hao can develop and have the opportunity to cooperate with Kou Kou's mother.

It’s right to face everything bravely, and it’s also right to hide. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom.Anyway, he was a passerby, so Liang Xi didn't take it seriously when he reminded him.To listen or not to listen, to die or not to die, has nothing to do with Liang Xi.We'll see you again in half an hour, no phone number left.

Kou Kou asked, "Are you a detective?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Little detective."

Kou Kou asked, "Can I hire you as an assistant?"

Liang Xi was taken aback, it seemed reasonable.The detective agency has been in business for half a year, and I caught Wendy's desperate fleece.Pooh, I've been plucked by Wendy all the time.But I didn't want to pick it up, because my life was in danger.But this is related to the case after all, is it against the code of detectives if the detective refuses to answer?

Liang Xi's first opinion on the Internet Red Festival: After Johnson was suspected by the police, he wanted to play a big game and bring a bunch of people to his wife to be buried with him.

Ke Keke, no one hired him to solve the Internet celebrity killer case, not even a dollar commission fee.Simply being an assistant is not in line with the principles of a detective agency.If Kou Kou hires herself as an assistant and solves the case, she really doesn't know how to refuse.Detectives don't solve the case, do they sell eggs?

Liang Xi pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't even know how to organize my life, so I can't be an assistant. Thank you for the invitation."

Kou Kou said, "I'm a little scared."

Liang Xi asked, "Is your mother scary?"

Kou Kou: "Not scary, she is the best mother."
