fog city detective

House's office is more than 50 square meters, and there is a personal rest area of ​​[-] square meters.House asked Liang Xi to sit down, and after asking, he called his assistant to bring in two cups of coffee.House introduced the basic situation of Shadow Company, and the assistant brought coffee in and went out to close the door.

House sat opposite Liang Xi: "I'm surprised that you will come to me."

Liang Xi asked back, "Why?"

House said: "First of all, what is the purpose of looking for me?"

Liang Xi said, "To verify something about Tom."

"Tom's matter?" House laughed: "I thought Liang Xi, you are not at this stage, is it because you have spent too much time with ordinary people and your IQ has dropped?"

Liang Xi didn't understand what this meant.House saw it, and said: "Based on my judgment of your level, you should know which information I told you is true. Well, for the sake of Blood Moon inviting you to help me, I will help you sort it out. stroke."

Liang Xi pondered and recalled: "I asked you to inquire about Tom, because Tom has worked in Shadow Company for a year."

House said: "You have asked the wrong question. You know that Tom has worked in Shadow Company for a year, and you also know that Tom has left Shadow Company for nearly five years. If I am not familiar with Tom, do you think I can still remember this person If Tom and I know each other, do you think you and I are more related than I am with Tom?"

Fuck!Makes sense.

House said: "So I was a little confused at the time. Isn't it a bit too much for you to ask me this question?"

Liang Xi admitted: "I didn't think about it that much."

House said: "Then you continue to ask about Tom."

Liang Xi said: "You told me that big shot A will give Tom the handle to blackmail big shot B."

House said: "Young! The point is not to get into muddy water. Let me tell you that I don't know who the big shot is, why am I called muddy water? So I know something, and I imply that you don't care about it. Finally Let me remind you again, the water is dirty. If I don't even know who the big shots are, how do I know the water will be dirty?"

Liang Xi followed his train of thought and said, "Actually, you know that the water is dirty, but you don't know why the water is dirty. You made up the big guy."

House pointed at Liang Xi: "That's right, I have to find an excuse to explain that the water is dirty."

Liang Xi said: "You said that there are a lot of people thinking about Tom recently, which means that no less than two people are looking for Tom through the shadow company."

House smiled and said, "That's right, you've caught up with the rhythm. But this is a company secret, so I can't tell you."

Shit class, well, class.This thing was called Guanhua in ancient times, and it is called Zhizheng in modern times.Many people who are bosses can't speak well.Some of the words said need to be experienced, comprehended, and felt by the subordinates.But this boss doesn't always talk like this. Sometimes he accidentally farts, and the people below can figure out a golden mountain.Why fart?What is the rhythm of the fart?What does it imply?What does loud but not smelly mean?Is there something hidden about the light green onion flavor?

People in different circles have different understandings of their own circles.Take borrowing money as an example.In the eyes of the ordinary class, it is undesirable, because it will hurt feelings.But in the eyes of a certain class of people, it is a means.

A and B were originally colleagues, and B's business was good, but A was promoted, so B was unhappy. Since A has become the boss of B, and B's business is good, it is the most optimal way to win over B.One day, A said that he lost his wallet and his bank card was in it, but today he wanted to pay his son's living expenses, so he asked B to borrow 5000 yuan. B will think that so many people A choose to borrow money from him. First of all, A has no opinion on B himself, and even A regards B as the most trusted person in the company.So the relationship between the two was relieved by borrowing money, and they gradually became friends, and B gradually got used to the days of being A's subordinate.

It's not that Liang Xi doesn't know how to study the art of language, he just doesn't bother to play with it.If Thresh knows how to play this game, I guarantee that Liang Xi won't even answer the phone.The subtle thing is that whoever has the resources takes the initiative.Between Liang Xi and House, House had information, so Liang Xi could only cooperate with House's rhythm in order to take the initiative.You want to get information from House, but you can't do it if you don't want to play like this.

Chapter 189

House also has his own reasons for saying this.In the early years, House was an official intelligence officer of the United States stationed in London. He must not be caught in daily speech, so speaking skills are very important.For example, House went to a foreign subsidiary to investigate, and when he stayed in a hotel, he said: It is said that the girls here are very good-looking.Some would chime in, some would argue, and some knew what House was up to.The smart guy arranges for House to meet a girl he's paid for.House pretended to be confused, even if the matter was revealed, he would still be deceived.The smart man was promoted to the head office one month later because he entered the company with his left foot first, which has nothing to do with what happened a month ago.

What House needs, he can't explain it clearly, and if he explains it, he will fall into the trap.Over time, House got used to such a statement.So much so that even Robert didn't figure out whether House, who opened the detective agency, was a CA.House neither admits nor denies it.Then why can't CA tell the British clearly?Because House brought them something, and House is gone, which is not good for them.At the same time, CA did not want to take the blame from House.So CA does not admit nor deny.

Why did House give CA something?Because House needs this fuzzy skin, being a private eye sometimes offends big shots and big bosses.Considering that House is from CA, he would hesitate to do it.When I asked House whether he was a CA, the answer was: maybe, maybe not.

Back to the original question.

Big shot A gave Tom the handle to blackmail big shot B. Does this sentence have any specific meaning?Liang Xi, who already knew what kind of person House was, knew that the meaning of this sentence was to tell Liang Xi that the water was dirty, and it didn't make much sense in itself.There are two possibilities that make sense, Tom has the handle of the big shot and Tom blackmails the big shot.

How to do?How to reverse the adversity?How to get these people to speak well?There is only one way: to be his boss.When you become his boss, you will find that they return to normal and honest verbal communication.

Liang Xi chatted generally: "The Earl of Blood Moon called me a few days ago and said that he would give me a gold coin and invite me to participate in the blood moon tour again."

Fuck!This is the way to go.House is an expert, and he understood when he heard Liang Xi's crisp hint: I will invite you to the blood moon next time, you can figure it out yourself.Liang Xi didn't threaten House, and didn't say any terms of exchange, but House immediately understood what Liang Xi said by chance.

House said: "Speaking of the Blood Moon invitation, I owe you a favor last time. Okay, if you care about Tom so much, I'll tell you what I know."

Tom is not a big man A or B, but contacts House as a client of a shadow company.What Tom is going to do is directly related to the Cove Medicine and London Medicine incident eight months ago.

Kefu Pharmaceutical Group entrusted London Medicine to develop Locke. When Locke was about to complete the Phase III clinical trial, the boss of London Medicine deleted all the original data, and Kefu Medicine sued London Medicine in court for compensation.At that time, some people speculated that Kefu Pharmaceutical thought that the development of Locke would lose money, so it deliberately sabotaged it.

An assistant engineer next to the engineer in charge of the Locke project of London Medicine is very dedicated. He is busy at the research institute during the day and voluntarily works overtime at home at night.His computer at home has some clinical trial report data, but because the data is too small, it cannot make up for the consequences of data deletion.After Locke's development was interrupted, he didn't care, and invested in a new research project.

Tom went to the shadow company to get all the data related to the new drug Locke in the assistant engineer's computer.This request is not difficult for Shadow Company. When the assistant engineer and his family were not at home, two investigators "accidentally" entered the assistant engineer's home and copied the data related to Locke.

House told Liang Xi that Tom didn't know what the data showed or what he could do.Tom said he would try it, and said that when he got rich, he must become a partner of House.

House guessed that Tom wanted to use Locke's clinical data to blackmail others, and the only ones who could blackmail were London Medicine and Cove Medicine related to the data.House doesn't understand, what can some clinical data show?Does that mean Locke is poisonous?Tom was very happy when he got the data, and said a few more words. Tom said that he had heard some information and suspected that the matter of Kefu Medicine was not that simple. He went to hunt dates.People with ghosts in their hearts will definitely panic when they know that there are clinical trial data.

As for what information Tom heard, whether he was going to blackmail London Medicine or Cove Medicine, House didn't know.But in the last month, there have been two orders requesting to monitor Tom and record Tom's every move.However, Tom is a professional, and House can only provide an approximate situation, but cannot provide details, otherwise Tom will definitely find out.

Anna was included in the information House provided to his employer.House's people captured a video of Anna and Tom appearing on the same screen on the second floor of Anna's home.Although the video can't explain anything, Tom and Anna have no apparent connection, and the picture of them appearing in the bedroom at the same time has already explained a lot.

As for who commissioned House to investigate Tom, House said he didn't know, and he couldn't say if he knew.He can say Tom's message because Tom is dead.This is the bottom line of his career.

……

Karin worked overtime today until [-]:[-] p.m., and was surprised to see Liang Xi appear on the bench at the entrance of the hospital without saying hello.Here's where they had late-night supper on their first date.

Hugging and holding hands, Liang Xi entered the hotel apartment where Karin lived for the first time.The apartment area is small, the floor is low, and the surrounding high-rise buildings, so the lighting conditions are relatively limited.Clean and tidy, no messing around.Karin took off her coat, grabbed the probing Liang Xi on the sofa, and gave her a handful of love first.

Later, Liang Xi talked about today's events. Karin didn't know the dangers and things that Liang Xi encountered today.She pays more attention to Liang Xi's physical and mental condition.Under the guidance of Liang Xi, Karin had a deep understanding of the incident.Liang Xi came to find Karin because of a difficult choice: whether to follow Tom's line or not.

Karin replied without hesitation: "I can't chase."

Peter verifies the details, triggers the alarm, and the killer ends up with Tom.The gangsters tracked down Anna, killed Anna, and burned Anna's home.

Karin said: "The person who killed Anna is very dangerous. Once you find that you have touched his cordon, you will definitely do it. I think you are right in saying that John's case is similar to Anna's case. Because of this, you cannot Keep chasing, or you may be the next John, the next Anna. If you know who your opponent is, if you know the outline of the matter, if you know the strength of the opponent, I will not stop you. You have found the bread now crumbs, but don't know what kind of devil is at the end of the crumb, or even where the devil will suddenly appear. This is called an uncertain dangerous environment in our course. When you are in this environment, don't take the risk of rushing, Be sure to evacuate from uncertain and dangerous environments."

Karin said: "Even you don't know whether you can trace the real culprit behind the scenes by following Tom's clues. From an economic point of view, the cost of your risk is too high, the risk is too high, and the return is very low. I originally objected to you following Tom's lead." John will track down the holy flag, but I know my objection is useless, I can only support you. Relatively speaking, you track down the holy flag, you know what the holy flag is, who is the opponent of the holy flag, and you have a lot of resources to help you attack Holy Banner. Got it? Baby?"

Liang Xi was touched and hugged Karin, and replied, "I know what to do."

Although it was relatively late, Liang Xi did not request to stay overnight.Since he promised Karin to respect her, Liang Xi could do it.However, Liang Xi only talked about this matter, but Karin was delayed by Liang Xi for two and a half hours, which caused her to sacrifice her sleep time to complete today's normal physical exercise and daily operation notes.Even so, Karin is still willing to stay with Liang Xi for a while, and reminds Liang Xi not to talk to Tom again when she reluctantly says goodbye to Liang Xi.

……

The next morning, as soon as Liang Xi arrived at the detective agency, he received a call from Robert. Although there was no conclusive evidence, it was basically certain that the dead gangster was Hu Ming's friend and a member of Hu Ming's special police team.The London police have already laid a net to arrest Hu Ming.Liang Xi told Robert the information provided by House.

It took him a long time to make this decision.Rather than saying that Karin convinced Liang Xi, it is better to say that Liang Xi made a decision through Karin.Tom decided not to follow this line.

Robert immediately contacted Isa, and Isa got the search warrant the fastest through the relationship, and they went to the assistant engineer's home.But I didn't expect it to be a step too late.Shortly after Tom's death, thieves broke into the assistant engineer's home and took some jewelry and a mainframe computer.The assistant engineer didn't take it seriously. After he called the police, the police asked him to write a list of thefts to the insurance company after asking if he hadn't lost too many valuables.

When talking about Locke with the assistant engineer, the assistant engineer told Robert that clinical data is not a simple statement.The first is the physical condition of the tester.In addition to healthy people, patients with high or low blood pressure or diabetes are also needed as drug testers.The data does not mean that someone is happy after taking the drug, or unhappy after taking the drug.The data are the results of urine tests, blood tests and other tests, and changes in various indicators.The changes in the indicators cannot fully explain a problem, and the physical data of the drug testers must be comprehensively checked. People who weigh 80 kilograms and people who weigh 50 kilograms have different effects when they take the same amount of medicine.People with different constitutions will have different index changes.The results of a single clinical trial of a person require the support of a huge database, which contains data on changes in the response of almost all organs of the body to drugs.

After talking for a long time, the assistant engineer just wanted to tell Robert that he only had very little clinical phase II data in his computer.The reason for the data is that his eldest son suffered from chickenpox, his wife is a teacher, and his assistant engineer asked for leave to take care of him at home.During the period, assist the engineer to process some data.When he took the data out of the laboratory, he obtained the consent of the responsible Locke engineer.

Robert asked: "During your clinical trials, did you find any abnormalities in this new drug of Locke?"

The assistant engineer replied: "No, it's all within expectations. For example, taking medicine on an empty stomach will cause some damage to the stomach, etc. These are all problems that exist in common medicines. By the way, a newcomer put forward a point of view in the meeting. There are several changes in indicators saying that Locke seems to be able to enhance the body's immunity. I hope to increase experiments in this area and obtain more data. We didn't take this view to heart. In the end, my boss did not agree to conduct experiments on immunity.” A drug can treat disease A, and it is enough for most people to have no serious side effects.Your labeling that it boosts immunity doesn't make the drug more valuable.

Robert reported the situation to Liang Xi. Liang Xi did not make any comments. After listening patiently, he asked: "Robert, what gift do you think is better for girls?" He was influenced by House and learned to tell Robert in code words that he didn't want to chase after him. the case.

Robert is a man of the mean, knowing that Liang Xi's attitude shows that he is not interested in the development of the case, so he gave a few suggestions.Liang Xi contacted Bobby, and Bobby said that he would definitely not be able to go out today.Liang Xi asked why.Bobby said that two beauties taught him to take a bath today.After Liang Xi took a nap, the two made an appointment to meet tomorrow and visit the lucky Chris together.

Sierra is a good friend. After Chris' accident, he stayed with Chris most of the time.Chris's wound did not bleed a lot, so there was no need for sutures, and there was no possibility of surgery. It was just that a piece of flesh was missing, and he could only wait for the wound to heal by itself.Under normal circumstances, it would take two weeks, but because the bodyguards are more ruthless, it would take four weeks anyway.According to the doctor, the hole in Chris's buttock may not be completely filled by growth. After healing, a hole will form, like the end of a pear.The good news is that Chris' health will not be affected or inconvenienced at all.

During the several weeks of treatment, Chris could not sit up, and could only lie on his stomach while waiting for the wound to heal.

……

That's right, Chris Thresh could only lie on his stomach, and Sierra sat in front of the bed and waited for Chris to chew and swallow the food, then sent the cut meat to Chris's mouth."Stop playing, stop playing with them," Serra said.

Thresh's right cheek was pressed against the pillow, chewing food, squinting at the ceiling: "Do you think they did it on purpose?"

"What on purpose?"

Thresh said: "They know my identity, and deliberately played tricks on me."

Serra: "Did the doctor do an EEG?"

"No, why do you need an EEG?"

Serra: "I'm afraid you've broken your brain."

Thresh was speechless, gave up this topic, and started a new topic: "The more I think about it, the more angry I get. The first time, Liang Xi was sitting in my seat, and Liang Xi was shot. The second time, Liang Xi and I were side by side. Me? I have done a lot of good things." Kara traced the door of the house.

Sera comforted: "When good meets evil, good always gets hurt first."

Thresh turned to look at Sera: "You can say such a poor comforting word? How is the situation?"

Serra said: "Tom took part of the clinical data of Locke's new drug."

Thresh: "It seems that we did this too." They sneaked into the research institute to download all the data according to the entrustment requirements, and then deleted all the data.In line with professional ethics, they did not view the data content, let alone clone it.

Sera said: "Another thing, Fiona and I communicated on the Internet yesterday, she wrote a deciphering software..."

"Speak the truth."

Sela was at a loss for words, reached out and patted Thresh's butt, Thresh almost jumped up: "Oh...you..."

Sera quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's a polite gesture, I forgot that you were hurt." She was full of pride, and she really liked bullying people like this.

1 Chapter Ninety

Thresh couldn't refute, and he didn't want to discuss his own butt, so he said helplessly, "That's the point."

Serra said: "Someone is chasing Meng Haika." Meng Haika is the director of the Fenghuo group. He was exposed during the car restaurant battle, was followed by Baker, and was handed over to MI6 to chase him.

Thresh was startled, and asked, "Who?"

Serra replied, "No idea. All I know is that Blade wasn't in charge of it."

Thresh pondered for a while: "MI6, Meng Haika is not British, MI6 is more convenient to handle things. Oops, the Orphan Association is completely cleaning up its identity. If MI6 bites Meng Haika, it must know a lot of information about the Orphan Association. How do they Bitten on Monhaika?"

Sera shook her head: "I don't know."

Thresh: "You contact the boss, tell him the matter, and let the boss handle it at his own discretion. Meng Haika is a woman with emotions. After she was deprived of her guardianship, she often used the channel of the Orphan Association to enter and leave London illegally. She lived for several months. In order to see her son. She is the only daughter of a senior member of the Orphan Council."

Sierra gave Thresh a bite of meat, took a look at his phone, and pulled out his laptop: "Liang Xi sent an email, asking if you're dead."

Thresh didn't know how to express his emotions for a while, and he couldn't do it if he didn't reply. If he didn't reply, Liang Xi might doubt that he couldn't reply the email.Or Liang Xi has doubted his identity and deliberately tested himself.Thresh said, "Ask him what's the matter."

Serra replied: "He said he was upset about Tom's incident that caused a friend of his to catch fire in his ass and nearly died. Said that we didn't say in the message that the gangsters were so brutal. Given how brutal the gangsters were, he didn't think about it. Not going to follow. But if we'll pay cash, he can go on looking for Tom's stuff."

Thresh savored for a while: "Does he think Tom's things are hidden elsewhere? But the police and we have searched all over, and I believe the criminals have also searched. If the criminals have found it, they will not attack Anna. On the other hand, the criminals Burning down Anna's house with hot potion means that the gangsters didn't get Tom's relic from Anna."

Thresh said, "Make an offer."

Serra said, "He wants all the information about the Holy Banner that the Orphan Society has, good or bad."

Thresh: "Tell him to die."

Serra said: "He said that the Holy Banner is the enemy of civilians, because of the Holy Banner, many innocent people died. If you claim to have a little conscience, you should agree to this condition."

Thresh was thinking.

Serra said: "Besides that, he wants a hundred thousand pounds."

Thresh vomited blood: "Didn't he say conscience?

Serra said: "He said that people with a conscience should live stronger, so that the world will become a better place. To live, you must first eat, and eating requires money.

Thresh: "One hundred thousand pounds? Does he eat ranch? One thousand, give him a month's food."

Selah replied, and after waiting for a while, Liang Xi returned the message. Selah didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Thresh asked: "What?"

Serra: "A thousand is a thousand, take the money."

Thresh repented: "He will take ten yuan if I give it to him. If he can deduct one yuan, he will count it as one yuan."

Sierra didn't understand: "Why? It's only a few dollars."

Thresh said: "This is a spiritual victory method. He likes to piss me off to death, and I can't take him in any way. He thinks he's playing me in the palm of his hand and laughs at me from the perspective of IQ."

Sera comforted: "You are a planning genius, and it is not worth fussing and getting angry with him."

"Am I angry? I'm not." Thresh said: "Give him, give him money as a deposit, eat him to death." Fake.

Not long after Sera operated, she received a call from Liang Xi and turned on the loudspeaker: "Hello."

"Sera, would you mind working overtime?"

Sierra: "Okay, I'm free."

Liang Xi said: "You can inquire about any network information related to Anna and Tom, and correspondingly inquire about the cloud disk."

"Cloud disk?"

Liang Xi explained: "If Tom's relics are not found anywhere, it means that there are two possibilities. One may not be found by anyone because it does not exist. The other may be invisible. When I knew that Tom's relics were data, I I thought of the possibility of the cloud disk. I think Daofeng will also think of the cloud disk after knowing it, you have to download a file quickly."

Sera didn't quite understand: "What is the use of me downloading a piece of information?"

Liang Xi explained: "Thresh is stupid and doesn't know that Dao Feng will get the information. I can sell this information to him. This Kaizi is very rich. After getting the money, we will split the account 55."

Thresh was about to faint, and Sera grinned at Thresh: "No, what about the bank card? There must be a Saturn bank card in Tom's remnant. This is the real thing."
