fog city detective

Chapter 421
The forensic doctor walked aside, took out the clothes wrapped in plastic evidence bags from the drawer, and handed them to Liang Xi.The pants are jeans, with raised seams on the left leg, and some off-white things are stained on the calf. It is a light gray sticky thing, similar to mud, but the color is rare.The young Liang Xi happened to see similar objects when he was accompanying John to handle the case. Liang Xi said with uncertainty: "This seems to be china clay, china clay after being moistened with water. The brownish brown color is because it contains certain minerals. Near Reading Are there any china clay mines?"

The forensic doctor is a local, and replied: "I haven't heard of it. But I know that there are several ceramic playgrounds in Reading." The so-called ceramic playground is a place where adults play with mud and charge a certain fee.The classic scene in the classic movie Ghost Story is the couple playing in the mud together, and the two people's hands are touching and touching.Because of the influence of this movie, many young men and women like to go to pottery bars and other places for dates.

In modern times, pottery is more commercialized.Young couples can personally make love cups customized for their own love. Apart from being commemorative, this cup has another advantage, that is, it is cheap.If you can't afford diamonds, you can give me a cup.Cups have much more meaning than diamonds.Whether the cup is cheap or priceless does not lie in the cup, but in love.

Liang Xi and Karin played pottery.However, Liang Xi has no interest in pottery itself, and he puts more energy on eating tofu.Karin is so smart that she doesn't know what Liang Xi is thinking.She laughed all the way down and couldn't help herself, and finally only made two crooked cups.

Saran explained: "Amy works in a pet hospital. There is no pottery near the pet hospital."

Liang Xi said: "Amy stopped by the romantic pottery bar, but had a hamburger for dinner... Saran, list all the pottery bars in Reading or places related to ceramics, and list their tax declaration materials, shop owners, employer information, Check out all the information that can be found in the database first.”

Saran said: "But Consultant Liang, the technical department has not made an appraisal of the porcelain clay."

Liang Xi said: "Since there are no more clues, we have to use the first principle: idle is idle, anyway, I am not the one running errands. I am very busy, Bobby should vomit a lot, as a friend, I should take good care of him." For his body, take him to have morning tea to clear his stomach."

The medical examiner reminded: "I don't think your friend will have an appetite today."

Liang Xi smiled and said, "I know." Even if he didn't have the chance to bully Bobby, Liang Xi didn't like tedious investigations.

……

Britain has morning tea, afternoon tea, and even evening tea.However, compared with Hong Kong's tea, British tea clubs are far less rich in dim sum than Cantonese morning tea. British tea dim sum mainly consists of baked biscuits, cakes and desserts.Drinking a can of Coke in the Chinese circle feels that it is seriously harmful to health, but in fact, Europeans and Americans eat much more sugar than Chinese.Such as toothless blueberry pie, apple pie, etc. are normal foods for Europeans and Americans.

The most interesting is the Chinese mothers, they do not want their children to eat sugar, do not want their children to drink Coke, and ask their children to have as little exposure to sugary foods as possible.But they ask their children to eat more, but they don't know that rice is really high in sugar.

Facing the exquisite Cantonese morning tea dim sum, Bobby knew what Liang Xi wanted to do, he pretended not to care, tried to forget everything he saw just now, picked up the dim sum as if nothing had happened, and ate slowly.After the food fell down, the stomach twitched unconsciously, Bobby endured it, took a sip of tea and suppressed it.

"Is it interesting?" Bobby couldn't help asking, watching Liang Xi knead the glutinous rice chicken, knead it into a disgusting shape, and then peel it off.

Liang Xi replied: "Interesting. I'm looking for someone to observe us. Yesterday we found the Aite couple. I believe Colonel Marr can't understand. He can't be sure how much information the police have. He needs information, and he may target me. Next door is an English breakfast restaurant, mostly Caucasian. This is a Cantonese restaurant, and every table has at least one Chinese face.” Although Reading is a town, it also has a population of 15. Chinese restaurant.

Bobby understood: "If there are no Chinese, it means that the other party is suspicious."

Liang Xi nodded: "Although the preliminary screening method does not rule out all possibilities, there is at least one basis and standard. Logically speaking, I think Colonel Marr should send someone to approach me. After all, I am a detective, and I am a special agent of the Anti-Terrorism Office. Consultant. I was thinking about whether to ask Saran to follow Juliet to make a surprise attack, to see if I can scare the snake away. But I also thought that the other party should not fall twice in the same pit, and Isha specially warned, so forget it. "

The bodyguards were sitting at a nearby table, and Liang Xi greeted them, "Give me the char siew."

The head of the bodyguard came over with the char siew, put it in front of Liang Xi, looked at the food on their table for a while, shook his head and left.This stunned Bobby.If you want char siew, won't you take it?Wouldn't you take something if you wanted to eat?What are you looking at?I'm a rich man, it's embarrassing for you to do this.

Liang Xi changed the subject and asked, "Is your father planning to introduce a wife to you?"

Bobby said: "My father would not introduce a wife to me. In his opinion, it is too immoral. Someone should have contacted my father. This person has a high status. My father passed on this to me, and I can choose by myself."

Liang Xi asked curiously: "If you die, your mother has the right to inherit. It is clearly written in your will? Besides, after your father inherits, it cannot be passed on to your brothers and sisters? Your brothers and sisters are all partial mothers."

Bobby said: "According to my father's request, I froze the gold. Even if I die, he will take care of the descendants."

Liang Xi was taken aback: "It sounds like your family has no human touch."

Bobby said: "Our task is to let the family pass on, not let the family annex the family. The main problem is also me. I should have married and had children, looked for women outside, and had more illegitimate children to maintain the inheritance of the family. But I don't want to, but I am the head of the family, haha!"

Liang Xi sighed: "Your grandfather is really blind."

"Want to fight?" Poppy asked angrily.

Liang Xi picked up the glutinous rice chicken with his left hand and stuffed his mouth. The beige soup smeared his mouth, and Bobby's stomach twitched again for no reason.Liang Xi took out a tissue and wiped his mouth in satisfaction: "The art of war is at the highest level, you can defeat others without standing still."

Liang Xi thoughtfully, looked at the chief bodyguard, stood up, walked over, and took away the potstickers: "If you don't eat them, I'll take them away."

Bobby stared dumbfounded at Liang Xi's return, and then watched the head of the bodyguard walk over and walk away with Nuomiji. Just as he was about to ask a question, the head of the bodyguard turned his head and gestured.The chief bodyguard unbuttoned his suit, took out a scanner-like thing from inside, and scanned it across the table and under the table, with only a slight vibration.

The chief bodyguard looked at the French windows, supported the table with one hand, and stretched out the scanner with the other. The scanner hummed.The bodyguard drew his gun and pointed it at a small yellow bee on the edge of the glass.The little bee didn't move very much, and was turning its head up and down from side to side, but no danger was coming.At this time, a hand appeared from outside the glass and pinched the little bee. Bobby looked up and saw Pique.

Pique kneaded the bee in his hand twice, and nodded to the bodyguard to indicate that he was right.Pick stood by the window and looked around. The restaurant was in the bustling part of the town, next to a crossroad.There are vehicles passing by on the road non-stop, and there are also cars parked by the side of the road. Pedestrians are either talking and laughing with their companions, or walking fast, and it is impossible to see who is controlling the electronic bee.

Bobby was very dissatisfied after seeing it clearly: "When did you plan it? Why didn't I know?"

The chief bodyguard explained: "Mr. Liang said that someone might monitor and listen to him, let us pay more attention." He gestured to Peake.Pete next to Peak took out a sealed bag, Peak threw the bee into the sealed bag, Pete sealed it, rolled up the sealed bag and stuffed it into the cap of the pen.

The chief bodyguard took the pager and said, "You send the things to Saran."

Pete replied, "Understood!"

The biggest family in London, the best bodyguard in London.Liang Xi believed that the deterrence they brought to Colonel Marr by catching bees was enough, enough for them to give up their line and go to the line with Saran.It is also possible to start with technology to understand what happened last night.This is why Liang Xi likes smart people. Maer is a smart person, and Maer will not talk to him anymore.Of course, I know that gold is precious, so I have to rely on Bobby today.

……

Finding clues from bees, suspicious dirt, and house debris takes time, and it takes a lot of time.As a special consultant, with an hourly salary of up to 80 pounds per hour, Liang Xi began to wonder where Davis would hide.

The most important clue is Aite's tractor truck, which only carries containers.Aite's truck was empty last night.Recalling the scene where the suv follows the AT truck, it shows that there are ghosts in the container.People can't move the container onto the tractor, they need mechanical help.There is also a clue that when Tim was kidnapped, he was held in a converted shipping container.

There are seven large container terminals in London, in addition to shipyards and container warehouses.Going east along the Thames River from the south, it covers a very large area.Cranes that can load and unload containers abound in this area.Liang Xi looked at the map of London in his mobile phone, and for the first time found that the dock area was much bigger than he imagined.

Liang Xi thought of another piece of information: Aite works for the Reading Container Freight Company, which specializes in transporting container goods from London to Reading.When transporting goods at the port, the goods in Reading will not be sorted out and sent to a specific location.The normal operation is that after unloading, the owner of the cargo takes the voucher to the designated container storage area to get the designated container.Every time Aite goes to London to deliver goods to different places, but one thing is the same, he has to drive the truck back to the Reading Freight Company.

Every time Aite goes to London to deliver goods, he will send empty containers back to the London dock.So it was speculated that Aite's private job was to transport members of Marr's gang to and from Reading and London.Why use a van instead of a car?Because the truck can store things, live, and carry a lot of supplies.Furthermore, the general police will not open the box to check the goods, and the goods may be poured out once the box is opened.Usually the police will only check the manifest to understand the goods.

There are two types of container trucks. The first type uses a crane to place the container on the truck.The second type is a tractor, its body is very short, the container is placed on a shelf, the shelf provides rear wheels, the tractor reverses and hangs on the shelf, and pulls it away directly.The same is true for unloading, no need for a crane, just separate the shelves.

Normal working procedure: Aite gets the manifest, arrives at the container warehouse, checks the serial number on the container, and transports it to the destination with a tractor.Unload the racks and drive away.That is to say, as long as there are some manipulations in the operation, the transportation in the working procedure can be realized.For example, the target container is No. 11. Aite goes to London to designate a container warehouse. After checking the manifest, it tows the container away, drags the container to the Reading warehouse, and puts the No. 11 container aside.

The owner of the No. 11 container made a bill to the Reading Freight Company, asking them to arrange a vehicle to transport the No. 11 container to a designated location in London. Aite got the manifest and transported the No. 11 container from the Reading warehouse to London.

Try it and you won't get pregnant!
Liang Xi contacted Fiona: "Beauty, help me check, Aite's inventory for the last two weeks."

Fiona: "Wait a minute... six shipments from London to Reading and seven shipments from Reading to London, with different container numbers."

Liang Xi said: "Send me all the serial numbers..."

"Okay." Fiona asked, "Have you broken up with Karin?"

Liang Xi was speechless: "Change the subject."

Fiona: "No other conversation with you. Sending to your email."

"Thank you." Liang Xi hung up the phone and contacted Sa Lan: "Take me and let's go to the Reading Freight Company."

……

Reading Freight Company is located in the suburb of Reading Town. The scale of the company is not large, but the factory building and warehouse area are large.There are many warehouses in the plant, ranging from frozen goods warehouses to dangerous goods warehouses.Rack semi-trailer containers are usually delivered directly to the warehouse door, and the goods in the container are sent to the warehouse manually by workers or by loading and unloading trucks.Empty container semi-trailers will be towed to the designated place for placement.

Not far from the warehouse, there is an empty gravel and concrete floor, where many containers and semi-trailers are piled up.Most of them are empty, waiting for the driver to go to London to bring the container back to London. The owner of a small number of containers has no warehouse, so they can only put the goods in the container first. The freight company charges the owner a certain storage fee per day according to the standard .There is also a situation, such as a bumper potato harvest in the country, the truck will pull empty boxes to the countryside, and then pull the full truck back to Reading and place them in the parking area.When and where the goods will be taken away is the responsibility of the owner.

There was a small episode before entering the warehouse. The security guard at the warehouse gate stopped seven cars. Sarah explained that she was a policeman and wanted to go in for a walk.But even if you show your ID, it's useless.The security guard said that no one else is allowed to enter unless there is a search warrant.

Of course, if someone in the warehouse calls the police, or if the police believe that someone in the warehouse needs help, the police can enter the warehouse.

For example, two plainclothes police detectives went to talk to a suspect. They knocked on the door and no one answered. Even if they suspected that the suspect was in the house, they could not enter rashly.If the front door is not locked, just close it.Or they see broken glass and a mess in the house, so they can suspect that there is a safety problem and enter the house.

At the critical moment, Bobby came out. He contacted the boss of the Reading Freight Company through Bo's father's assistant, and the boss asked the security manager to let him go.After struggling at the gate for about 10 minutes, seven cars finally drove into the warehouse.Four cars go to the warehouse area first, and three cars go to the parking area.

There are several container semi-trailers and several containers in the warehouse area, and workers are unloading or loading each container.The special police got out of the car and reported to Saran after a brief inspection: "There is no problem in the warehouse area."

There are more semi-trailers and containers in the parking area, and the stacked containers are like a castle.On the opposite side of the castle, there are more than [-] semi-trailer containers lined up.
