Chapter 317 Illegal Truth

The hotel delivered the food, and when the waiter brought the food to the table, Lei Na took the opportunity to remind Ouyang Lan.During dinner, Ouyang Lan changed her focus from Liang Xi's body, which eased the awkward atmosphere a lot.Liang Xi knew Reina because of Chris, so he naturally mentioned Chris at the dinner table.

Reina and Chris are friends from work.Lei Na's father, that is, Ouyang Lan's current husband owns a small but high-end headhunting company.After entering the company, Reina went through the assessment with the interns.The content of the assessment is to find unique and talented people on the street, in bars, restaurants and other places.

After the interns select the target, the headhunting company will contact the target to understand their details, so as to judge the interns' vision. . .

Reina gave an example, assuming that you are the fund business manager of the Clement Group, the amount of business you can complete every month is very large, but this is not enough to show that you are a very capable person.Headhunting companies are looking for people, not platforms. How much business will the manager maintain when he joins a new start-up company?Some movies are successful because of the director, some movies are successful because of the acting skills of the leading actors, and some movies are successful because of the ability of the screenwriter.Lena's headhunting company requires employees to strip away external factors and accurately define a person's value and ability.

Chris is a talented guy Reyna finds at the restaurant, but this choice puts her at the bottom of the grade.After contacting Chris, the company learned that Chris is a French road examiner, and his complaint rate is far ahead of his peers. He does not have a college diploma or a university degree. The only thing worthy of praise is Chris’s background: the prince of Denmark.

Reina was not convinced, and contacted Chris a few more times, but she really didn't find anything special about Chris.After going back and forth, the two also became friends, but they were very ordinary friends.Reina knew Chris' London, England from social software, and she contacted Chris after she settled down in London, England. The two met Liang Xi and Karin when they had dinner together.

Liang Xi asked curiously, "An Ding?"

Leina nodded and handed a business card to Liang Xi.On the business card is the manager of the British branch of Fable Company, and there is also an office address and Reina's mobile phone on the business card.

Ouyang Lan took the opportunity and said: "You siblings can meet often in the future, and you must help each other."

The two nodded together, no matter if it was sincere or perfunctory, there was no need to refute Ouyang Lan's words.Lei Na knew that Ouyang Lan was more concerned about Liang Xi's situation over the years, so she began to ask.Liang Xi's explanation: Adopted by a stubborn old man, life is ordinary, his adoptive father died two years ago, and he inherited his private detective agency.

Ouyang Lan asked concerned: "Is there any financial difficulty?" Many young people lack money.

Liang Xi replied: "No."

Seeing that Ouyang Lan didn't believe it, Liu Zhen said, "Auntie, his best friend is Bobby Clement, the patriarch of the Clement family. Don't worry about money at all."

Liang Xi was dissatisfied: "Don't mention that guy to me, I didn't deduct a few dollars from that guy, but I often worked for free."

Reina asked thoughtfully, "Do you have a good relationship with Bobby?"

Liang Xi thought for a while: "It's okay, what's wrong?"

Lena shook her head: "It's okay."

Liang Xi said: "If there is any business that requires me to say hello, I will be more than happy to help."

Reina smiled and said, "It's okay, thank you."

Ouyang Lan asked: "Is your girlfriend a doctor now?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Yes."

Ouyang Lan asked: "Is there any chance to have a meal together?"

Liang Xi said: "There must be a chance."

The best situation is for the two of them to chat alone, but Liang Xi refused to chat alone, he doesn't like chatting with emotional people.However, Liang Xi didn't have much reservations about his own situation. With the help of Lei Na, Ouyang Lan basically figured out Liang Xi's current situation.In a word: Liang Xi is very satisfied with his life now.

After the dinner, Lei Na and Ouyang Lan sent them to the car. Ouyang Lan finally reached out to hold Liang Xi's hand. Liang Xi hesitated and did not break free. Ouyang Lan said to Liang Xi: "Take good care of yourself. Call me." Looking at Reina: "Reina, you are working in London now, do you know that you need to walk more between siblings?"

Liang Xi and Lei Na nodded in agreement.Liang Xi got into the car, Liu Zhen drove away, looked at Ouyang Lan standing in the same place through the rearview mirror, and said, "Heartless."

Liang Xi asked back: "Should we hold each other and cry for half an hour first?"

Liu Zhen said: "No, I think you are guarding against your mother."

Liang Xi said: "If you don't guard against it, you can't. Apart from your fate, there is also family affection that will change you."

Liu Zhen asked: "As long as you are distant enough, she can't interfere in your private life."

Liang Xi said absently, "Maybe."

Liu Zhen asked: "What do you think?"

Liang Xi said, "I'm thinking about how to deal with it?"

Liu Zhen smiled, hung up the bluetooth and connected the phone: "Hello...Okay, okay, we'll go there now."

"Why use us?"

Liu Zhen said: "I found Sink's old partner, Remy." Sink had partnered with Remy for five or six years as a trainee patrolman. Last time, Liang Xi analyzed that Remy was probably someone Sink could trust.

……

The 70-year-old Remy has no relatives. After retirement, he lives alone in the northern suburbs, fishing, walking the dog, watching TV, and occasionally visiting old friends on a whim.Although he knew where Remy was, Remy didn't use a mobile phone, and he was not at home for several visits.Today it was police station patrol officers who contacted agents from the Office of Counter Terrorism after spotting lights in the house.

Although he was not young, Remy looked pretty good.Remy, wearing a hat, warmly greeted Liang Xi and Liu Zhen to sit down. He was grilling steaks and told everyone to wait a moment.Before Liang Xi and the others arrived, the detective had already explained the matter of Xin Ke to him.

Hearing Liu Zhen's question, Remy sighed: "He is a good man."

Liang Xi asked, "May I ask if Xin Ke has entrusted you with anything for safekeeping?"

Remy was a little surprised: "Yes! It has been taken away."

"what?"

"Early yesterday morning, an agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs named Robert found me and took away the things that Sink asked me to keep."

"Xiao Luo?" Liu Zhen took his mobile phone, opened Ronaldinho's photo, and asked, "Is it him?"

Remy looked at it for a while: "It should be him. His ID is still with me. I took over his ID check and called to confirm his identity before I handed over the things to him. It also caused his The documents are here."

Liang Xi asked, "What is it?"

Remy said: "A small suitcase, Sink told me not to ask too many questions. I hid the suitcase in the garage of the neighbor next door. The neighbor is an aunt who is over [-] years old this year. Her children are all working abroad. She I don’t tidy up the garage every day.”

Liang Xi thought of a possibility: "Could it be that Sink's murder has nothing to do with the Gausker Building, but with the case Sink investigated?"

Liu Zhen asked: "Do you think that Sinke is not only an illegal and just eight-shooter? He is also secretly investigating the case?"

Before Liang Xi answered, Remy interrupted: "Sink is definitely not a shooter."

"why?"

Remy said: "Sink has a serious mental disorder, he can't shoot a living person."

"What?" Liang Xi and Liu Zhen asked in unison.

Remy said: "In the second year of my partner with him, there was an unexpected incident, because he still couldn't pull the trigger, and I was shot."

Liu Zhendao: "But Sink's resume didn't mention this point, and if he has such a psychological barrier, how can he continue to be a patrolman, or even become an agent?"

Remy said: "Because I concealed this matter. You know, most of the British patrols are not equipped with guns. I have been a patrol for 38 years, and I have almost no chance to use a gun."

Liang Xi said: "That's not right. There has been an early warning for the Internet celebrity festival in the Gausker Building. Since Xinke has a psychological barrier, why would he volunteer to enter the Gausker Building?"

Remy said: "No, Sink will never take the initiative to undertake dangerous jobs, especially jobs where guns may be used."

Liang Xi said: "At that time, I encountered a problem in the Gausker Building, and Sink expressed his willingness to kill people with guns for me."

Remy shook his head: "I don't know. The psychological counselor at the police station told Sink very clearly that this kind of psychological barrier is difficult to overcome."

Liang Xi said, "Psychological counselor?"

Remy said: "Ma Long, the current assistant director of operations, Malone, is also a good friend of Sink."

Liu Zhendao: "Xin Ke is an agent directly under the Office of the Operations Department."

Remy's explanation opened up Liang Xi's new thinking, and he said to himself: "Xin Ke is a good policeman. He discovered a certain case and collected evidence secretly. Unfortunately, what he did was discovered by the bad guys, so the bad guys Sending him to the Gausker Building, killing Sink with a proprietary trap, and helping Johnson with Sink's inability to shoot a living person."

Liu Zhendao: "But the bad guys didn't expect us to focus on Sink, suspected that Sink was a bad guy, and conducted a comprehensive investigation on Sink. So they anonymously emailed Sink as the eighth shooter to test us. We thought of Remy , the other party took the initiative to find Remy and took away the physical evidence."

Liang Xi said: "Ma Long, Ma Long has always been on the edge of the problem." In the case of Nakata's poisoning, Nakata was a member of the Office of the Operations Department.

Liu Zhen asked: "Where is Ronaldinho?"

Liang Xi said: "Xiao Luo's question can be explained. You arrange five African-Americans and ask Mr. Remy to identify them. I believe Mr. Remy cannot clearly distinguish them."

Remy nodded: "Not only are African-Americans, but it is also difficult for me to recognize Asian faces. This may be the reason why I have been a patrol officer for 38 years."

Liu Zhen picked up the Ronaldinho certificate that Remy gave him, and said, "But Ronaldinho's certificate is real."

Liang Xi said: "We have to meet Xiao Luo."

……

"Xiao Luo sent an email to ask for sick leave yesterday, saying it was a toothache." The accompanying detective hung up the phone in the co-pilot and said, "This morning, Xiao Luo sent a text message to the same team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that he would ask for another day of leave. "

"I have some ominous premonition." Liang Xi analyzed: "The villain sent Sink into the Gausker building. As the highest-ranked police officer, Sink became the temporary supervisor of the police in the Gausker building. The villain successfully used the rear door to bomb the trap and kill him. Logically speaking, Sink became a hero because of his death in the line of duty. However, the gangsters in the Gausker Building performed too much, which led the police to a certain extent to suspect that Sink was an inner ghost. Fortunately, with Sink's death in the line of duty, everyone I regained my trust in Sink. However, I was full and put forward a possibility: that Sink is an insider, and the bad guys use knives to kill people. Although this speculation is wrong, it hits the bad guys at the heart. Because some of my Influence, Isa accepted my suspicion and contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs to start investigating Sink. This result was not expected by the bad guys."

No policeman would suspect a policeman who died in the line of duty, neither objectively nor emotionally.But Yisha listened to Liang Xi and went against the rules.It has been said before that the behavior of the police is traceable, and unconventional behavior will be beyond the expectations of those who are calculating and traceable.

Liang Xi said: "The bad guys won't believe it. Just based on my words, Isha and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make an unconventional investigation. They think Isha has some clues and evidence. The bad guys may suspect that Sinke has hidden some evidence. So I contacted Ronaldinho by anonymous email to test the depth. Our biggest mistake was to underestimate the importance of the other party."

Liang Xi said: "One possibility: They tortured and forced a confession from Ronaldinho. When Ronaldinho mentioned Remy, they contacted Remy as Ronaldinho and took away things. One possibility: They knew that Ronaldinho was in Secretly looking for Remy, first find Remy, and found what Sink hid in Remy. So they forced a confession from Ronaldinho, confirming that Ronaldinho and the anti-terrorism office did not know about Remy and the suitcase. No matter which possibility , I think Ronaldinho may have been killed."

……

The white-collar villa area is a landscape in many developed countries. According to a large proportion of data, people living in the city center are either rich or poor.Most of the middle class live in relatively remote white-collar villa areas, mostly in the suburbs and suburbs.Ronaldinho's home is in the villa area in the western suburbs. The western suburbs are not a place, but a collective term.It is far from the city center, but it belongs to the urban category, so it can be called the suburbs.The definition of a city center is generally based on administrative and financial criteria.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Xiao Luo's house, and there were quite a lot of people in the community.Usually, the neighbors in this kind of residential area have a good relationship, and they often get together to have dinner together, either for barbecue, or for each household to cook a few dishes and put together to have dinner on the grass.Two vans were parked at the front and rear doors of Xiao Luo's house, attracting the attention of the neighbors next door. Special police officers in full gear came down from the back door and quickly controlled the entrances and exits of the front and back doors.

Liu Zhen and Liang Xi got out of the car, Liu Zhen drew his gun, leaned aside and knocked on the door: "Police, please open the door."

Liang Xi went to the neighbor next door and asked, "Do you know Little Robert?"

Everyone nodded together, Liang Xi asked: "How long have you not seen him?"

The neighbor uncle thought for a long time with a beer in his hand, and said: "I didn't see him yesterday. I wanted to invite him to the party today, but no one answered the door, and the phone couldn't be reached. Isn't he a policeman?"

Liang Xi nodded, basically verified his thoughts, and asked, "Are there any remote buildings nearby?"

The uncle thought for a while, and a woman said: "There is an abandoned freight train station in the last century five kilometers to the northwest. It is a transfer station that provides coal for Greater London." Transport coal to the city of London.

Liang Xi asked, "What about now?"

"Now? Everything that is useful has been removed, even the railroad tracks. Now there are only a dozen large warehouses piled with coal."

Liang Xi asked the woman to locate her on the map of his mobile phone. Liu Zhen appeared on the second floor of Xiao Luo's house and greeted, "Hi." With a flick of his head, he signaled Liang Xi to come up.

"Thank you." Liang Xi thanked and entered Ronaldinho's house.
