fog city detective

Chapter 338
After returning to London from Oxford, Bobby ran away with Liang Xi for a day inexplicably. On this day, Liang Xi first went to the community where the victim used to live.Bobby was in charge of giving the money, and Liang Xi was in charge of asking questions. The questions they asked were very complicated, ranging from whether they knew detectives Su Te and Renee, to the emotions of the victims' families after the case happened.Then I went to the community where the perpetrator lived and asked the same question again.

After ten o'clock in the morning, Bobby didn't want to hang out with Liang Xi anymore, because the latest news came from Betty. With the help of a search warrant, they found more than a dozen wooden puzzle toy boxes at the victim's father's home.Since Suter's bomb was successfully dismantled, after comparison, all the wooden puzzles belonged to a series produced by a certain company.There are a total of eighteen boxes of puzzles in this series. After deducting the three that have been exploded and dismantled, plus the thirteen that were found in the search, there are still two boxes that are missing.Betty believed that the two boxes had been bombed.

Except for the box, police did not find any bomb-related items at the victim's father's home.Facing police interrogation, the victim's father appeared calm and denied that the bomb had anything to do with him.These boxes have been stored in the storage room since they moved, and he didn't check to see if any items were missing.But the technical force of the police was stronger than what my father thought, and the technicians determined that there had been explosives in the basement.At the same time, the technicians determined that the explosives used in the bomb had nothing to do with the explosives that may have been lost by the EOD department.

The technical department believes that the explosives belong to industrial explosives and come from British Aerospace Systems, but they cannot further determine where the suspects obtained the explosives. .In addition to being used in military affairs, explosives are also popularized in some civil fields.Such as mines, building demolition, tunnel construction, road and railway construction, etc.The amount of explosives used by these companies is very large, while the equivalent of explosives used by the suspects is very small, which can be described as a drop in the bucket. Therefore, even if all companies are investigated, it is difficult to determine which company has the problem.

Most importantly, the transcript of Detective Suter who escaped under the threat of the third bomb.

Su Te recalled the accident case, the traffic command department attached great importance to the case, and the deputy director of the department, Renee, investigated the case with Su Te.But this case is simple and clear. They confirmed the identity of the driver, and when the surveillance was called, the driver had already pleaded guilty.Is there any possibility of a top pack?Suter told Betty that the technical department had collected fingerprints on the driver's seat, and no fingerprints of anyone other than the driver were found.The only vehicle in which the driver can be identified is the vehicle involved in the accident.

Souter couldn't understand why anyone would attack him because of this case.As a police detective, he thought the 15-year prison sentence for the perpetrator was a heavy sentence.After all, there is no death penalty in the UK, and it is impossible for you to ask the perpetrator to pay for his life.In Suter's memory, the victim and his wife were highly educated. Although they were extremely sad, they did not abuse the perpetrators and expressed their gratitude to the investigators for their investigation.On the day of the trial, Suterben attended as a witness, because the perpetrator directly pleaded guilty and did not have the opportunity to appear. Suter is sure that after the verdict came into effect, the parents of the victim hugged each other. This gesture has a feeling of relief.

Betty suspects that the victim's father made a bomb because of the toy box, but Suter's words make Betty dizzy again. Who did it?Is it a misunderstanding that the bombing case has nothing to do with the accident?
Renee, who was protected by the police, also accepted the transcript, saying that it was similar to Suter.But it is a little different from Su Te. The protection police found that after taking notes, Renee used her own identity to log in to the police system to check all the information about the accident.Therefore, Betty kept an eye out and changed her detective to Renee's side, hoping to find some clues.

After Betty decided to share information with Liang Xi, she did not hide anything and told Liang Xi everything.Since Betty was so interesting, Liang Xi didn't hide it. He ran for another day and drank coffee with Poppy and Betty at five o'clock in the afternoon.Bobby was impatient, he didn't even bother to get out of the car today, so he sent a bodyguard to follow Liang Xi, and just report to him afterwards.There is another reason for being too lazy to get off the bus. A 20-year-old girl stood out on a British talent show and became famous overnight.Its sweet smile is full of healing magic, and the sound of nature makes people bathe in spring breeze.The media predicts that she will become the top star in Britain and even Europe in the next 20 years.

What's the girl with Poppy?Liang Xi asked lazily.

……

Betty sat down without taking off her coat and leather jacket, ordered a cup of casual coffee, and asked Liang Xi a question in a few words.The police department paid a lot of attention to this case, which put a lot of pressure on her.

Liang Xi didn't hesitate, took the computer and sat next to Betty, opened the escape case information that Xiaobai gave him, and said, "Something is missing."

Betty took the computer and asked, "What's missing?" She read these materials many times.

Liang Xi said: "There is a route survey missing. The perpetrator drove from point A to point B and hit someone, then drove the car to his home at point C. There was only information on b and c, but no investigation report on point a. He almost Click to drive, how long have you been driving, what you ate, what you drank, nothing."

Betty said: "The driver who caused the accident was a casual laborer, a plumber."

Liang Xi nodded: "Because of this, I visited the communities of the victim and the perpetrator, and collected a piece of information: the driver who caused the accident helped a neighbor 100 meters away from his home to repair the leaking water pipe at [-]:[-] p.m. that day, and ate with the owner. Afternoon tea, left at [-]:[-] pm. According to the investigation report, the driver who caused the accident drove home after work at point a, and hit people at point b. There was a certain contradiction in the place of work that afternoon."

Liang Xidao: "I asked about this family, and the hostess told me that she told the female detective who asked about the situation at that time that the driver who caused the accident left her house at [-]:[-]. I searched again, but did not find any This record."

Betty took out the map, and it took 25 minutes to drive from point b to point c. There was no specific record for point a, but only one area was mentioned. It takes 15 minutes to drive from point a to point b.Based on this calculation, the driver who caused the accident left point c at 40:15 and went to point a, which took [-] minutes.It takes [-] minutes to get from point A to point B, and it takes nearly an hour.

According to the witnesses and the perpetrator, if the driver left the neighbor's house at 25:[-], drove to point a, and then drove to point b, the driver would pass the intersection at [-]:[-].In theory the testimonies do not conflict, but in practice they do not.

Since there was no route survey of the vehicle at that time, it is now impossible to obtain the road surveillance video from more than a year ago.It’s okay to forcefully explain. The driver left the neighbor’s house at [-]:[-], received a call, or remembered that he had made an appointment with someone to fix the water pipe, so he drove to point a.Because the work was simple, or the head of the household repaired the water pipe himself, the driver drove back.Because there is almost no delay at point a, the driver passes point b at [-]:[-].

The suspicious point is: Why is there no record of the neighbor's dictation in the data?If you have this record, you must investigate the route the driver drove.Furthermore, as a police detective, why didn't he become suspicious after hearing the neighbor's explanation?Is it negligence or something else?Is the driver the real driver?
Liang Xi explained his speculation: "It is very likely that this is a top case. When the victim's father knew that the murderer who caused his daughter's death was at large, he poured his anger into a bomb."

Bobby had a rare chance to interject: "Let me ask a question first: Who did the driver help with the bag?"

Liang Xidao: "You have to think about it from the perspective of the driver who caused the accident. My son is a criminal, and it is basically impossible to leave prison in this life. But my grandson is so outstanding, a top student at Oxford University, a pillar of the future country, and the hope of mankind. In this way People who are going to go to jail, can you be willing to be a grandfather?"

Bobby said: "Grandpa helped grandson top the bag."

Liang Xi nodded: "If you want to be top-notch, you need to be strong. Why did we go to Oxford? I just want to know how many resources Zhaosun has. Obviously, Zhaosun himself doesn't have much resources, but his girlfriend has a background. His girlfriend's father is a justice. The mother is a businessman. There are no problems in all aspects of this case, only a neighbor's dictation is a little wrong. This problematic dictation does not appear in the materials."

Betty said: "Someone took out this dictation."

Liang Xi added: "Or it wasn't recorded in the file."

Betty: "So the father of the victim made a bomb of his daughter's belongings and sent them to those people. There was also a lawyer, who might know the truth, and she chose to keep silent. There were also two police detectives, and maybe even a prosecutor. These guys teamed up to trick the victim's parents and let the killer go."

Betty said: "There is another important person. The victim's father lived in the suburbs. The death of his daughter was a huge blow to him. He couldn't find the problem. Who told him? Did this person just send bombs? The person who bombed it? Who will give it to the other two boxes of bombs?"

Liang Xi said: "Leni is the key person, she was either the bomber, or she erased that important information."

Betty asked, "Where's Suter?"

Liang Xi said: "Suter is doubtful, but it is a bitter plan for him to hold the bomb in his hand. We know that the structure of the third bomb is different from the previous one. It cannot be ruled out that the EOD personnel found the mechanism, and it cannot be ruled out that the EOD personnel did not Discovery agency."

Betty said: "The technical department conducted an experiment. The result of the experiment is as the experts said, the bomb will be triggered before the liquefied nitrogen works. I don't think ordinary people have the courage to take this gamble."

Liang Xi agreed, but reserved his own opinion: "People who can do things like bombers are not ordinary people. I read Su Te's information, he has been a policeman for three years, and his colleagues, teachers and students of the police university have good evaluations of him. With a sense of justice.”

Bobby: "Hey, both of you. Let me ask a question. The case happened a year ago, and the judgment was made half a year ago. There has been no problem during this period. Why did the problem arise after the driver who caused the accident died?"

Liang Xi couldn't answer this question, so he could only say: "Maybe..."

Liang Xi's eyes lit up: "Top hat, funeral hat. Maybe someone attended the driver's funeral, heard or saw something, and learned that the driver who caused the accident was someone else. Or maybe the driver's inmate died after his death. , who did you tell the matter to?"

Betty stood up and said, "I want to apply for a search warrant for Renee and Suter."

Liang Xi nodded, it was a way.

Betty asked: "Can we go directly to the victim's father? He learned that we found out the truth about his daughter's murder. Will he cooperate with us?"

Liang Xi said: "It is not recommended to do this. Father is grateful to the mysterious man. If you want father to betray the mysterious man, you don't have enough chips. Besides, the truth has been covered up. Now it is impossible to find evidence to support our statement. Neighbors It is said that the driver who caused the accident left his house at [-]:[-]. It has been more than a year, and her testimony cannot be accepted. Even if it is accepted, it can be explained from the theory of time. The old cases before will never have the truth."

Betty sat down again, thought for a while and said, "Even if we catch evidence of the cover-up, it will not prove his guilt. It is very likely that Renee and Suter are cover-ups. They are both judicial personnel and know the law. As long as they don’t confess and don’t open their mouths, we can’t do anything to them.”

Liang Xi said regretfully, "I'm just a detective and lack the ability to collect evidence."

Betty: "The last two boxes, one may be for Renee, and the other should be for Zhaosun."

Liang Xi was noncommittal, and Betty stood up again: "I'm going to do something, and I will contact you if there is an update."

Liang Xi stood up politely: "Goodbye."

Watching Betty leave, Liang Xi sat down slowly, while Bobby said, "Based on what I know about you, you have something to say, but you didn't say it in the end."

Liang Xi said: "Judging from the performance of the bomber, the box bomb will never appear again. The victim's father lost two boxes, and the police subconsciously believed that they were box bombs. Zhaosun and Leni will definitely receive a warning. information, making them pay special attention to things that are box-sized."

Poppy asked, "Then why didn't you remind Betty?"

"Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky. There is no compensation for this case, and I don't care about too many nosy things."

Bobby said: "You think Zhaosun deserves to die, right? You won't punish him, but you won't save him either."

Liang Xi asked back, "What about you?"

Bobby said: "If we can prove that Zhaosun is the real perpetrator, I will contact Betty and ask her to pay special attention to non-box bombs. Since I can't prove that Zhaosun is guilty, how can I help him escape punishment? If you Said, leave everything to God, let God decide. But..."

Liang Xijing: "You can already guess."

Bobby disdained: "Let me finish it for you: Since the Bomber brought me into the game and killed so many irrelevant people, he must be dug out."

Liang Xi was speechless and rolled his eyes, indicating that Bobby was right.

Liang Xi said: "We analyzed the top hat. It is inappropriate to wear a top hat, which shows that the top hat has a symbolic meaning. The victim's father used his daughter's toy to make a bomb. This is a symbolic meaning, representing his grief and anger. What does the top hat represent? Blonde, a detective can’t handle this matter, so I need you to investigate.”

"Oh?" Poppy asked, "Do I look like I'd rather be taken advantage of?"
