Chapter 187 Haus this person
The criminal investigation department of the Southern District was supposed to be in charge of this case, but it was Robert who took notes for Liang Xi at the nearby police station, that is, Dao Feng intervened in the case.In addition to the blade, Liang Xi also saw Mark from mi5.Robert asked Liang Xi, who was probing his head in the recording room, to stop reasoning, and directly told Liang Xi that the chief officer group under the Operations Department was in charge of the case.

The Metropolitan Police has several divisions, with the main policing being handled by Frontline Police.The Operations Department is a department that supports other types of police, including the forensic team, task force, police dog team, etc.The chief officer group refers to a temporary department that is led by the Office of the Assistant Director of Operations and publicly discloses the investigation situation to police officers above the director level.When a sensitive case occurs and supervision is required, a special case-handling method is adopted.

In addition to the chief team being responsible for the investigation of this case, the investigation team of the professional department (Ministry of Internal Affairs) will monitor the entire investigation process of this case.This is a high-level investigation team.That is to say, this case is directly related to the insiders of the action team.

After chatting for a while, Robert changed the topic to the main topic: "Some blood was found in the backyard of Anna's house to the steps of the Thames River, which is where the gun battle took place. The blood test results were obtained an hour ago, and the Criminal Investigation Department immediately notified the Superintendent of the Police Department. , The director ordered the establishment of a chief officer team to investigate the case. The blood belongs to a Vietnamese named Hu Ming, who is 31 years old, single, and belongs to the Special Firearms Command of the Ministry of Operations, and is the captain of a special police team."

Except for limited departments such as Daofeng that have a special police establishment directly under them, when other departments need armed forces, they can contact the Special Firearms Command and they will dispatch special police.

Robert said: "The gangsters landed on the shore seven kilometers away from Anna's house. One gangster carried the body of the other gangster to the shore, and used Lu thermal agent to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces. At the same time, he destroyed the remaining clues on the speedboat. It is not yet possible Determine whether Hu Ming is a destroyed body or a fleeing gangster. The Firearms Command has issued a summoning order, requiring all personnel to return to the Firearms Command to assemble as soon as possible."

Robert said: "Have you noticed that there are many similarities between the murders of Anna and John?"

Liang Xi nodded: "They are all professionals, and they are all Lv thermal agents. I received a news before that before John was killed, a batch of K2 Lv thermal agents to be processed was stolen."

"We know, but the person calling the police at that time died of a heart attack in the Middle East, so we can't learn more about the specific situation." Helen's information is very backward, which may be a good thing for her safety.Robert asked, "Why are you looking for Anna?"

"We found Anna from Tom. We think that Anna may have some improper relationship with Tom. Anna may have preserved Tom's relics or know something."

Robert asked while recording: "What happened to Tom's belongings?"

Liang Xi replied: "I received information that big shot A gave Tom a handle and asked Tom to blackmail big shot B. After Tom's death, the police searched Tom's real estate and found no relevant items or clues."

Robert asked: "Who gave you the information?"

Liang Xi replied, "House."

"House, the boss of the Shadow Detective Agency?"

"Yes." Liang Xi said, "We met when Blood Moon invited us."

Robert looked at Liang Xi for a while, and said: "House was the US intelligence liaison officer in London in the early years. It is said that he was fired by the CA for misbehavior. After that, House stayed in London to start the Shadow Detective Agency. I asked American friends privately, and they also Not sure what was going on with House. I was also on the House task force and didn't find anything wrong with him, but knew him pretty well. He was very crafty and full of bullshit."

Liang Xi said: "He doesn't need to say it, but what he said should be basically true."

Robert shook his head and said: "For House, lying is commonplace. Believe me, he said that in the sentence that big shot A asked Tom to blackmail big shot B, if the word blackmail is true, you should thank him for being honest with you. .”

"Damn it, I rarely deal with such shameless people." This bottom line is a bit low, so low that Liang Xi can hardly accept it.Liang Xi said: "Conversely, House probably knows what's going on with Tom."

Robert sighed: "Maybe he wants you to think so. You want to know more information? Take the money. After the money is given to him, he will give you a message and tell you that the news is unconfirmed and may be true. It may be fake, you decide whether to buy it or not."

Liang Xijing: "Is he still a liar?"

Robert said noncommittally: "So I would say that what House said has no credibility. But it is also possible that he is telling the truth."

"Fuck."

Robert: "Now I can understand what you mean by shit. When I was in the task force, the more I knew House, the more shit I was."

Liang Xi recalled the content of his conversation with House, and said: "I still think that House should know something, or there is no big shot A, and House asked Tom to blackmail big shot B."

Robert said: "It's also possible that Tom blackmailed House."

"Fuck!" Robert's ability to think like this shows that he has an unforgettable understanding of House.

Robert said: "Things related to House, everything is possible. All right, this is the transcript, we will continue to investigate in depth. First of all, we need to determine whether Hu Ming is a dead gangster or a living gangster. I will send an email if there is any information Here you are, if you have an idea, contact me directly. If you solve the case, you will get a bonus."

Liang Xi smiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "Whether money is money or not, they are all friends." Robert's frankness put a little more pressure on Liang Xi to collect money, and of course Liang Xi will definitely overcome this pressure.

As Robert said, this case looks somewhat similar to John's murder case.This also made Liang Xi a little confused.In Liang Xi's eyes, John was a wise man, and the wise man told himself in his will to find the murderer from the root of the holy banner.Do I want to obey John's will and put Tom's incident aside, or pursue Tom's case until I find out the real culprit behind it?

Living with John for more than ten years, John has never missed it.This made Liang Xi very unhappy.John suggested Liang Xi to live in the garage, and Liang Xi accepted Mary's opinion and lived with John Mary. Facts proved that John was right, and within half a month Liang Xi moved to the garage by himself.

Liang Xi and John talked about their two girlfriends twice, and John told Liang Xi clearly that you were about to break up.Liang Xi couldn't bear it, and tried his best to coax his girlfriend, but John was right both times.

Watching TV news with John, speculating on the truth of the incident and the direction of the incident is something Liang Xi enjoys. Of the 10 pieces of news, Liang Xi was able to get eight pieces right and two pieces wrong.John can also be right about eight pieces, but he is not wrong, because John does not comment on the other two pieces of news that he is not sure about.Liang Xi often gets mad because he agrees with John.Liang Xi, a rebellious age, really wanted to defeat John once.But until John's death, this goal was never achieved.

……

Coming out of the police station, a bodyguard waited outside to greet Liang Xi, told Liang Xi that Poppy had gone home, and arranged for two bodyguards to accompany Liang Xi.Bobby asked the bodyguard to tell Liang Xi: Find a way to sneak out tomorrow and then go to Liang Xi.Liang Xi thanked the bodyguards, contacted Bobby, and asked the bodyguards to go back.Since it was Bobby's car that went to Anna's house, Liang Xi took a taxi to the Shadow Detective Agency.

Shadow Detective Agency is said to be the best private detective agency in London, and they have a top-notch work ethic.This is directly related to their boss House.As an American, House never brags with his subordinates and directly talks about money.70% of each employee's income in the first year is handed over to the company as a credit guarantee.50% after the second year.After working for five years, all 70% and 50% will be returned in the sixth year. At the same time, in this proportion, the company will give a reward of 25% of the total amount.But if employees sell customer and company information, whether intentionally or unintentionally, not only will they not get a penny, but they will also face lawsuits.This scope of confidentiality includes his wife and immediate family members.

The Shadow Detective Agency has been inspected twice in the ten years since its establishment, both because of reports from employees who did not receive credit guarantees.The police found many illegal and prohibited products in the company, even sword-and-butterfly-level technological products.But the law does not criminalize anyone who owns these things.Similar to flour, the manufacturer is guilty, the seller is guilty, and the user is not guilty (in our country, it is illegal to suck flour, not a crime).Unless the police prove that the shadow company or individuals profited from these illegal devices, they cannot convict the shadow company and House.

These two searches not only did not convict House, but also helped House play live advertisements.Many people know that Shadow Company possesses sword-and-butterfly-level equipment, and at the same time keeps customer information confidential to the greatest extent.

However, the shadow company is not large, with only ten to fifteen field employees on a daily basis.Five or so administrative, logistical and financial staff.The shadow company's office area is not large, it is located on the 5nd floor of Yifan Building, 22 kilometers away from Bo Ning Street, and the actual office area is only [-] square meters.

When Liang Xi entered the shadow company, the first thing he saw was the reception desk, and the access to the company was blocked by the ID gate.The receptionist asked, Liang Xi told: "My name is Liang Xi, I'm looking for House."

The receptionist said: "Our boss is not here."

Liang Xi said: "Then you inform your boss that the monthly rent will be increased by [-] pounds in the second half of the year, no, add [-] pounds, or I will leave."

The receptionist was a little confused and said, "Wait a minute, I'll contact the boss." She didn't know how the company's rent was calculated.

After House's assistant received the call, he explained to House that House took the phone: "Let him in."

……

The receptionist made an internal call, and the staff inside swiped their card to open the door, and Liang Xi entered the shadow company.There are no open offices in the company, all are separate offices with closed doors.When Liang Xi looked around, House appeared at the end of the corridor and waved: "This way."

House's office is more than [-] 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.
