Chapter 345 Pursuit
After watching the interrogation video, Liang Xi told Liu Zhen that the owner of the repair shop should not have participated in this matter, but only provided a foothold, and first left himself completely, he would not know about the butcher, and he would not ask why To borrow their own repair shop.The less you know, the safer you are.

It is now noon of the second day, and the police did not find the beneficiary in the encirclement, nor did they catch the butcher.The biggest achievement is that the coast guard intercepted a smuggling boat with three unidentified people and some weapons on board.The police found Hafei's cousin, and after promising not to provide evidence, Hafei's cousin told the police that he asked his younger brother in London to help him deal with it, and he himself did not want to know where the donor was hiding.He had arranged for this little brother to travel to Europe, but he didn't expect to die in the office last night.If the police really want to find the benefactor, they should look for clues to their younger brother.

Ha Fei's cousin is a good person, and he wanted to help the patron, but he didn't want to get into trouble, so he let his younger brother take over the matter.If something goes wrong, let the little brother take the blame, it has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything.

Liu Zhen informed Liang Xi of the situation, hoping to help analyze the information of Ha Fei's cousin's younger brother, so as to determine where he hid the benefactor.Liang Xi was more interested in Fenglei Repair Factory.Fenglei repair shop is located in the auto parts repair street in the north of London.Repair Street is very famous in London. There are repair shops here that help people modify cars, review cars, customize, and beautify. There are also shops that sell accessories. You can even find vehicle parts that have been discontinued decades ago.

It is not accurate to say that it is a street, it should be a zigzag street.What puzzled Liang Xi was that the daily business of the auto repair street was very good. Even at night, there were still many shops open. Generally speaking, there was a relatively large number of "traffic people".Why did the butcher place his resting point here?The environment here is not good, and the roar of modified cars and the sound of machinery can be heard from time to time.Doesn't the butcher have other resources to draw on?

The butcher is a cunning, cunning guy, otherwise he wouldn't be alive now.Butchers and planners can't be compared. The behavior of butchers is called the cleverness of shining personal wisdom. As long as you find a flaw, you can catch the butcher in one fell swoop.

As for Ha Fei’s cousin’s younger brother, there must be a lot of complicated information. Liang Xi doesn’t like to do complicated things, because many people can do complicated things.After Liang Xi got Liu Zhen's permission, he got into Bobby's car and headed to the Fenglei repair shop. He decided to go to the site to see for himself.

Bobby was very excited, and he told Liang Xi that he hadn't slept for several hours.Blonde had also flashed before, but basically it was a flash.Blonde had a great sense of participation last night, and the impressive results gave him a sense of accomplishment.He was happiest when he avenged the eight policemen who died in line of duty.Although he is obliged to keep it secret, Poppy himself is very sullen, and he keeps the real secret very tightly.For example, Liang Xi has known him for a long time, and it was only because of the incident that he learned that Bobby is the head of the Clement family.In addition, Phil also greatly appreciated Bobby, and if possible, he would like to help Bobby apply for the Medal of Honor.

Although it was a blank promise, it made Bobby even more excited.Their family was aristocrats, but they were deprived of their aristocratic status because of some things in their ancestors.Although honorary knights and hereditary nobles are very different, they are completely different things, but at least they can show that they are serious and competent patriarchs.

"One more vote." Bobby kept urging along the way.

Liang Xi was very annoyed, and said: "Last night you hid in a place where missiles couldn't reach you, you have to know that they are in danger."

The chief bodyguard in the passenger seat was in a good mood, and Bobby patted him on the shoulder: "What do you think?"

The chief bodyguard replied: "I don't mind exterminators, but I can't ask others to take extra-professional risks." He can and is willing to take risks for extermination, but he will not ask others to take risks.

Bobby was thoughtful: "How much is an air gunboat?"

"Are you poisonous?" Liang Xi tried his best to express his disgust with words, muscles and expressions.Liang Xi, who knew Bobby very well, knew that Bobby's words were a question, not a joke.

The bodyguard said: "Mr. Bobby, we should abide by the law first."

Liang Xi looked at Bobby, did you hear that?

Chief of Bodyguard: "What we need most is an all-weather unmanned reconnaissance aircraft."

"You guys are enough." Liang Xi said, "Let's be normal and help the police in a safe environment. OK?"

……

The stores on Auto Street vary from big to small, deep and shallow, and each store has a different style.It’s not interesting in winter, but in summer, there are outdoor car wash girls here, who can help you wash your car when you don’t wear much.When he was just 18 years old and learning to drive, Liang Xi often came to the street for a stroll.The Fenglei repair shop is at the bottom of the character Ji. The shop has been cordoned off, and a patrol car is parked at the door.

The police were notified and let Liang Xi and Bobby into the repair shop.Everything inside that could be moved has been removed, and fingerprints and DNA have been collected for everything that cannot be moved. Even footprints and fibers have not been spared.In fact, this is a clean site that has been cleaned up, and it can be reopened after the police unseal it.

There are four areas in this car repair shop. The first area is the front desk, which has a reception and a coffee shop, and the area is not large.The second area is the main site, which has three workstations and is relatively spacious.The third area is the warehouse, which is divided into two parts: old and new parts.The fourth area is the simple automatic car wash.

Liang Xi compared the photos. The main area of ​​activity of the gangsters last night was the main venue, and no trace of activity was found in the front desk.In other words, the four of them were all on the main field, and no one was arranged to guard the front gate.Liang hit the self-service car wash, which is at the back of the store.An area here is open-air, and a wall separates two adjacent shops.

Liang Xi said: "Please come in four of your people."

……

The chief bodyguard led the three of them into the garage, and Liang Xi pasted the prepared papers on their chests, which were 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Liang Xi said: "Criminals are also human beings. Tough guys also need to rest, stay, eat, and sleep. There were four of them yesterday, and they stayed in the repair shop for about three to four hours. Judging from the garbage and traces , at least three of them are in the garage. 123, please."

Liang Xi continued: "According to the scenes taken by the technicians, no traces of personnel activities were found in the reception hall at the main entrance. There was no soot, no paper scraps, no food packaging bags, and no food residue. I boldly speculate that all four people are in the car repair hall .Please."

Liang Xi walked towards the car repair hall and said, "The walking distance from the front desk to the car repair hall is about 30 meters. Their main living area is at this location."

The car repair hall is transparent from north to south, and Liang Xi asked the four of them to stand against the wall near the south gate: "This is the main living area, and food debris, food packaging bags, paper towels, cigarette ash, etc. were found. Look at the traces on the ground." , there are a few boards specially provided for them to rest. The first question, are there any sleeping bags?"

The head of the bodyguard replied: "Last night, the temperature was as low as minus four degrees, and it was difficult to rest without heat preservation measures. I didn't see any heating pipes in the repair hall. I should have brought a sleeping bag."

Liang Xi nodded and said, "Second question, how many of them are sleeping?"

The head of the bodyguard looked at Bobby, and Bobby motioned for you to answer on my behalf. The head of the bodyguard said: "At that time, their team started operations, and the leader should not have rested. As Mr. Liang said, they need to rest. If it was me, I would arrange for the other three to take a rest." Rest, I will pay attention to the actions of the office alone, waiting for the news from the other side."

"That's right, the gangsters got the news that someone in the office took away the patron, but they didn't know where the patron had gone. The staff had to rest in order to deal with the second wave of attacks against the patron." Liang Xi said: "Suppose The butcher was on duty, and the other three rested. There was a contradiction at this time. According to the information, the butcher was very cunning, and he was very cunning. Investigators? Why not put the rest area in the lobby?"

The chief bodyguard thought about it. From the garage, the front hall could be seen through the glass, but it would take some time to walk to the front hall.The head of the bodyguard was not sure: "Did he use the front hall as the backyard?"

"What do you mean?"

The head of the bodyguard replied: "He will not evacuate through the front hall. He can find out the situation in the front hall at the first time in the car repair hall, and he has time to evacuate. The front hall is regarded as the backyard, and the backyard is naturally the front hall. The butcher did not intend to go through the main entrance In and out, he chose the backyard."

The chief bodyguard said as he walked quickly to the north gate. Next to the north gate is a simple car wash. The reason why it is said simple is that the car wash only washes the car with foam and does not dry it.The bodyguard said: "Walk 30 meters to the rest point. There is a wall separating the two shops."

Liang Xi reminded: "They are resting near the south gate."

The head of the bodyguard went out from the south gate and walked to the backyard: "There is a wall separating another shop 15 meters from the rest point."

Liang Xi looked at the data on his mobile phone: "The shop at the south gate is called Shuilei, and the shop at the north gate is called Huolei."

The bodyguard said: "Lie down."

Without hesitation, three bodyguards in expensive suits lay on the dusty floor.The bodyguard said: "Received the call, the gangsters in the office have been attacked. At this time, the butcher will kick a few people to wake them up, but if the situation is unknown, he will not give an order to retreat immediately. He is waiting, and he will let others People pack their weapons and sleeping bags. Simulate packing to see how long it will take.” The three bodyguards performed a simulated drill at a leisurely pace, getting out of the sleeping bags and rolling them up, which took about 2 minutes.

Liang Xi said: "The gangsters in the office never knew that it was the police who attacked them." The main reason for the attack was that the attack method was too unpolice.Not a bit of city police style.

Bobby interjected, "Does that mean the butcher doesn't understand the situation?"

Liang Xi said: "The little boss is the only surviving gangster. He called the butcher when he was attacked near the office, but he didn't contact the butcher after that. From the scene, I think they left in a hurry, soot and food scraps are fine. Why haven't the paper towels and food packaging bags been taken away?"

The head of the bodyguard: "The butcher may not be on duty, but someone else. The butcher is relatively old among the mercenaries, and after another battle, he is exhausted and needs to rest."

Liang Xi agreed: "The office is very important to the butcher. He didn't show up, which means he was really tired. What if the butcher wasn't on duty?"

The bodyguard said: "People like the butcher have high prestige, and they say what they say. Otherwise, it will be difficult to establish prestige. Everyone is afraid of him. Is it possible that the on-duty staff did not wake up the butcher? Feeling bad, I ordered to evacuate immediately, so I was in a hurry."

Poppy interface: "So the butcher went to the wall by the south gate, climbed over the wall and went to the mine repair factory. He needs to stabilize the situation, he needs to understand the situation, and he needs a foothold. Even if the police arrive, they will attack the mine repair factory first. The butcher has a certain time advantage."

Liang Xi raised his thumb: "Turn over and have a look."

The bodyguard jumped up and grabbed the wall and pulled himself up: "This is not a single wall, but two walls. There is a gap of about 40 to 50 centimeters in the middle, and a drainage ditch at the bottom. This is a relatively safe hiding place. Stay here until you get a new foothold. Once the police come, they can walk down the gutter, or they can go to other repair shops."

Liang Xi asked, "Where does the drainage go?"

Chief bodyguard: "I don't know, I'll go and have a look."

Liang Xi said: "Be careful, they might still be there."

"Wait." Hearing what Liang Xi said, Bobby took the pager and called all the remaining eight bodyguards, and everyone drew their guns to guard against entering the gutter.

That's what Liang Xi said. In the morning, the police conducted a comprehensive search of the repair shop.No matter how dark it is under the lights, I can no longer stay in this place.

At the end of the gutter is an underground pipe, and there is a fence to isolate debris. The chief bodyguard checked and found that no one had opened the locked fence.The chief bodyguard walked out and walked to the street.

Beside the intersection of the drainage ditch is Jinlei Auto Parts Store, and the intersection is only a few tens of centimeters away.The head of the bodyguard told Liang Xi that this was a small road specially reserved by the city hall, and this gutter was an entrance for the staff to enter the nearby underground pipeline due to maintenance needs.

Standing at the intersection, Liang Xi saw a public traffic monitor on the left, Liang Xi said: "You can screen vehicles."

5 minutes later, Sierra, who was still in the anti-terrorism office, called. Half an hour before the police attacked the Fenglei repair shop last night, a white seven-seater van temporarily stopped at the intersection of the drainage ditch for fifteen seconds.Because of the viewing angle, it is impossible to know whether someone got on the bus.This car is the latest handsome model of Aixia last year.The bad news is that the license plate is blocked. The good news is that because the license plate is blocked, there is a high probability that this car will not be a stolen car.

At two o'clock in the morning, there were very few cars on the road, and by using a small amount of traffic monitoring, Sierra determined the community where the car finally entered.This is a mainly African-American gathering area.Some of the African-Americans here are three non-members. London once used the Olympic Games to clean up a group, but many people came out for a walk and claimed discrimination.The post-Olympic clean-up has gone nowhere.As long as you do not commit a crime, no action will be taken against you.If you behave suspiciously and your identity is checked by the police, there is nothing you can do.

This community is an old factory dormitory community, mostly apartments like pigeon cages, and the environment and sanitation are relatively poor.The most uncomfortable thing is that when strangers appear in the community, boring people on the streets and pedestrians on the road will look at you with unfriendly eyes.

Bobby's vehicle was parked on the side of the road, and several young African-American men on the roadside steps looked at the car with presumptuous and even provocative eyes.A gap opened in the window, and a wad of pounds protruded and danced.A quick and clever man ran to the car immediately. Before money, everyone is a brother.

The chief bodyguard handed him the photo of the car and the slip of paper with the phone number written on it through the window, and said in French: "Find it, call me, five thousand pounds. Keep it secret."

The man collected the banknotes, photos and pieces of paper, and watched the car drive away. He returned to the steps and showed the photos to the other two companions. Soon the three of them got on their bicycles and wandered around the community.
