Liang Xi held the phone and pondered for a while, then made a call: "Hi, I'm Liang Xi, can I talk to the general? Yes, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, the two looked at Liang Xi: "The other party disagrees?"

Liang Xi said, "No, the general is in a meeting."

The three of them waited in silence, the phone vibrated, Liang Xi was taken aback, looked at the number and answered the phone quickly: "Hello."

Phil: "Liang Xi, what's the matter?" His tone was calm.

Liang Xi said: "Uncle, it's been a long time. Bobby is very grateful for the title you helped him win, and I want to treat you to a meal."

Phil: "Bobby can just thank you."

Liang Xi said: "It's like this...that..."

Phil asked, "The one-eyed case wants me?"

Liang Xi said: "The main thing is... yes, Yin Sha, Romeo and I have a few questions I want to ask you." We must die together.

"Yin Sha? Please give her the phone."

Liang Xi handed over the phone, and Yin Sha kicked Liang Xi's calf angrily, and answered the phone: "Yes! (First tone) Yes! (Silence closed) Yes! (Long tone) Yes! (Short and quick) ... let's go."

After hanging up the phone, Yin Sha said: "He said that he happened to be free tonight, and asked me if he was going to the blade, or if we were going to the work villa, and I said we would go there."

Liang Xi glanced at Romeo: It's not like an ordinary relationship.

Romeo: But it shouldn't matter now.

Liang Xi: It is speculated that something happened in the early years.

Romeo: Let the past go.

Yin Sha frantically said, "All four of your eyes fell out. I was a little girl at the time, and I confessed my love to him, but he refused. Is it okay?"

Liang Xi changed the subject: "Should I call the Anti-Terrorism Office? What if they want to kill us for a drink?"

Romeo said: "Probably not."

……

The dinner location is arranged at the working villa rented by Phil in the northern suburbs.The villa is still a villa, and the guards are still intact, but there are only one lieutenant and one second lieutenant left on the staff around Phil.When Liang Xi came here for the first time, not only were there a lot of staff, but they also had a lot of things to do. Today's villa looks very deserted.When Liang Xi and the others arrived, Phil was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching a Major League baseball game.From this, it can be seen that Phil has no actual responsible work.

The general's exclusive chef has also left. Tonight's dinner was made by a few guards who are proficient in cooking, and it looks more decent.Yin Sha and Romeo had never been here before, and they had no sense of contrast. They were full of praise for the food at the table.

Liang Xi thought more, he felt the contrast, and he could feel the mentality of Phil who was too idle to watch baseball.This can't help but make him feel a little sympathetic.Logically speaking, Phil is 95% likely to be a deep sea demon, but Liang Xi can't hate him.Maybe it's because of his usual indifferent attitude, maybe it's because of his strong heart.

Liang Xi reminded himself to abandon subjective preconceived ideas, not only not to sympathize with Phil, but also not to hate Phil.

In the end, it was Phil who asked first, "Is there anything you want to ask?" If you don't ask, the dessert is gone.

"It might be impolite, so I'll just ask more directly." Liang Xi said, "Excuse me, do you know the password to the safe in the vice president's office?"...

Phil seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise, "Is 1892 the murder weapon?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and Phil understood: "I know."

Liang Xi asked, "Did you open the safe that night?"

Phil replied, "No."

Liang Xi looked at the two of them, and I'm fine.It is impossible for him to accuse Phil of lying, and it is impossible for him to run on Phil by interrogating prisoners.Yin Sha said: "General, according to our understanding, we speculate that someone took the gun from the safe and killed Cyclops."

Phil said: "Let me tell. I've been waiting for your call. I thought you would call me a few days earlier."

"why?"

Phil took out his mobile phone and opened the mailbox: "On the day of the incident, Cyclops sent me an email at [-]:[-] in the evening, saying that he had something very important to see me, and he was waiting for me on the rooftop."

Phil was resting in the vice president's office at the time. After reading the email, he got up and went to the elevator reception area to get a rain gear. From the stairs to the roof, he walked around the middle roof and didn't see Cyclops, so he dialed Cyclops' phone, Cyclops' phone has been turned off.This made Phil somewhat dissatisfied. After waiting for a few minutes, Phil went back the same way and put the rain gear back. He went to the banquet hall to look for Cyclops to no avail. Instead, he chatted with the French general about the engine problem.

Phil said that he was busy those few days, didn’t see the news, and no one around him mentioned it. It was only when Carlo was shot dead that he found out that One Eye had died on the roof of Ross Building. Thinking of not coming.He considered that Cyclopedia's phone might not have saved email information, he didn't know the time of Cyclops' death, and thought that it might have nothing to do with him, and because of his identity, he didn't take the initiative to contact the police to explain the email Cyclops sent to him.

Yin Sha took the phone and glanced at it. It was indeed an email sent to Phil from the email registered with the one-eyed phone.

Phil asked: "Do you suspect that after receiving the email, I took a pistol to see Cyclops, and then killed Cyclops?"

The three looked at each other indecisively, and Romeo said: "General, do you know a rumor that Petain has a three-year-old child." It was cool to ask.

"Huh?" Phil was inexplicable: "I don't know, is it mine?"

After finishing speaking, Phil also felt embarrassed, and explained: "I'm kidding, I had a physical relationship with Petain." His attitude was also calm, and it was more anticipation and curiosity.

Liang Xi said: "Uncle, do you know Thresh of the Orphan Society? Thresh constructed such a lie for ulterior purposes, saying that Petain had a child."

Phil seemed a little disappointed: "Oh."

Liang Xi said: "We suspect that Cyclops believes it is true, so we asked you to understand this matter."

Phil finally understood: "You think I killed One-Eyed for this, with a pistol my friend kept."

"Ah."

Phil said: "I understand, but I didn't kill Cyclops. What's the situation with my friend?"

Liang Xi looked at Romeo, and Romeo said: "We have arrested him for two days, and he did not admit that he had ever owned a revolver. Until his child had an accident, he was forced to explain the situation. He said that you know the combination of the safe, and you are resting in his office. It is guessed that you took the gun with you after the murder, so confront our questioning with a very strong attitude.”…

Phil asked, "What happened to his kid?"

Romeo hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

After speaking, the scene was quiet, and everyone seemed to have no other questions.Of course there are questions, and we should have further questioned the questions Phil said and answered, and judged whether Phil lied from the details.But how to ask?Even if Phil said he brought a gun to One Eye but didn't pull the trigger, the three of them would have difficulty asking.

Liang Xi was the first to break the silence, pointing at the dessert: "The creme brulee tastes great."

Yin Sha asked: "Isn't it panna cotta?"

"Whatever." Liang Xi said, "Excuse me uncle, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

"Wait." Phil asked, "I'm a suspect in your opinion, right?"

Liang Xi stretched out his index finger and thumb to gesture: "A little bit of suspicion."

Phil reached out for a sticky note placed on the side, and wrote a set of numbers: "This is my private phone, call me if you have any questions."

Yin Sha answered the phone, looked at Phil and said, "I believe in you."

Phil said: "This is not what a competent policeman should say. If I were the murderer, maybe I would be very happy for you to solve the case and catch me."

Romeo interjected, "Are you a murderer?"

"No." Phil replied.

……

The three of them boarded the car and returned to London without talking. After driving for 5 minutes, Romeo said, "This is the general's aura? My original 99% suspicion has become 99% trust, and my gestures are so open and honest. To be honest, did it also shake your skeptical mentality?"

Yin Sha, who was driving, was speechless: "Yes, I don't think he should be the murderer."

Romeo asked: "Is there any logic?"

Yin Sha thought for a long time, and replied: "No." There is no logic, it is Phil's attitude that makes Yin Sha feel that Phil is not the murderer.

"Exclude her." Romeo said: "Liang Xi, let's analyze rationally. The first possibility is that Phil lied. He killed people with a gun, took away the one-eyed cell phone, and finally left swaggeringly with the cell phone, pistol and bullets."

Liang Xi added: "And asked Carlo to deal with Toby who was preparing to pick up One-Eyed near the Ross Building. The car Toby was driving was a One-Eyed car. It was not difficult for Carlo to find Toby, and at the same time, it showed that One-Eyed did not have a relationship with Phil. Prepare for conflict."

Romeo asked, "Do you think Phil can do it all?"

Liang Xi thought for a while, constructed the whole process in his mind, and said, "He can do it."

Romeo said: "The second possibility is that the mysterious man killed Cyclops, and Phil happened to be suspected."

Liang Xidao: "In this possibility, the person Cyclops is looking for is not Phil, but the mysterious man. First, we need to solve a problem: Is the mysterious man trying to frame Phil?"

Romeo said: "It's hard, isn't it? The appearance of Cyclops was an accident, and it was difficult for the mysterious man to arrange it properly. So there is a third possibility, the mysterious man kills two birds with one stone and kills Cyclops to frame Phil."

Liang Xidao: "To accomplish this goal, several conditions need to be met. The first condition: the mysterious person knows that the one-eyed person is going to find someone on the 45th floor of Ross. The second condition: he knows that the vice president has a gun. The third condition: he knows Password for the vice president's safe."  …

Yin Sha interjected: "Excuse me, let's say it's a false accusation. The mysterious man killed Cyclops, and then sent an email to Phil with Cyclops' mobile phone, and Phil was tricked to the rooftop. But Phil was in the vice president's office at the time, and the mysterious man had to take it in advance. To the pistol. The process should be that the mysterious person stole the pistol from the vice president, killed Cyclops on the rooftop, sent an email to Phil, and tricked him to the rooftop."

Yin Sha said: "One-eyed died around nine o'clock, and Phil went to the vice president's office to rest at around 08:30. One-eyed was definitely not dead when Phil was in the vice president's office. The mysterious man predicted the behavior of One-eyed. The president's office stole the pistol ahead of time and went to the rooftop to kill Cyclops. You two, it is undeniable that someone has the ability to sneak into the office and open the safe, but the timing must be grasped very well."

Liang Xi said: "Besides this, there are various doubts. If Phil was framed, it definitely did not start after One Eye entered the 45th floor, but a conspiracy planned from the very beginning."

Romeo said: "There is a mistake in your thinking. One-eyed is not qualified to go to the 45th floor. He got to the 45th floor only after meeting an acquaintance general on the side of the road. It can be seen that the one-eyed behavior is very personal."

Liang Xi reminded: "It is rumored that a big person asked Cyclops to form a team."

"First of all, the big man is what Fiona said, and I think it's just a way for Cyclops to coax Fiona." Romeo said: "Secondly, even if such a big man exists, it is impossible for him to ask about One-eyed's action plan, and he will not arrange it. One-eyed action. Because the one-eyed character will not allow a so-called big man to teach him how to act. In addition, we can see that the one-eyed behavior is an impromptu behavior, and his behavior is difficult to predict."

Liang Xi pondered for a while: "Unless Toby or Tony has a spy, Cyclops will definitely tell them his plan. Even if he acts on the spot, Cyclops will keep in touch with them, after all, they are the ones who respond to Cyclops. With the help of the police, the gun was stolen in advance, and the frame-up was arranged."

Yin Sha said: "There is still a bug. How did the mysterious person steal the gun? The banquet started before seven o'clock, and before eight o'clock, everyone was walking around and socializing, and President Ross also introduced a few distinguished guests today. You recall the vice president The location of the office is not remote, not far from the elevator, and the elevator reception staff can see the door of the office at a glance. How much courage does this person have to unlock and sneak into the vice president's office in full view?"

The two detectives pondered for a moment, Liang Xi's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "I see..."

Romeo grabbed it: "Wait, give me some time, 3 minutes."

Yin Sha was speechless: "You are so naive!"

After 3 minutes Romeo asked for a delay again.When Yin Sha couldn't hold back her curiosity, Romeo finally figured it out: "The tarmac is the second scene. We can make such a conjecture. Cyclops went to the 45th floor and found the mysterious person. He didn't expect to be controlled by the mysterious person." The mysterious man hides the one-eyed man, and waits for his own people to lock on the one-eyed respondent Toby, the mysterious man will... No, no, I will do it all over again."

Yin Sha said: "Either let Liang Xi speak, or I will step on the gas pedal." She was anxious to death.

Romeo tried his best to organize for a while, and motioned: "Say it." Qi!

Liang Xi said: "Romeo is right. One Eye's death time may be wrong, because One Eye didn't die on the tarmac. He was killed elsewhere, and the body was hidden somewhere. After the dinner at 10 o'clock, the guests They left one after another, and the staff began to clean up the scene and ended their work for the day. From 10 am to early morning, someone sneaked into the 45th floor and did two things. The first thing was to put the one-eyed corpse on the tarmac, and at midnight Afterwards, although there was no downpour, it continued to rain, and the heavy rain washed away all the evidence."

"Why was it sent to the apron? Because the apron is open on all sides, everyone subconsciously believed that no one would carry the corpse to such an open place. Because of the weather that night, no one went to the rooftop, and it was difficult for helicopters to take off and land. The most important purpose is to cover up the dead body. A eucalyptus was found at the scene, creating the illusion that Cyclops was killed on the tarmac. In this way, everyone who went to the rooftop that day will be suspicious. It happened that because of the heavy rain, only Phil went to the rooftop alone. Phil walked around the stairs After walking around, he didn't see the one-eyed one hundred meters away from him, not because of the distance, but because there was no one on the ground at that time."
