The boss said: "The second way, avoid him. The third way: buy him. Everyone has weaknesses and desires, or life value, or money, or power, or just to destroy And destruction. A good angel can convince the devil to kill Satan."

The boss said: "This is a game, and the game has rules of the game. Violence is our weapon to break the rules of the game, our bargaining chip, and our trump card. If you use violence as a routine method in your daily life, you are about to face Violence by others. There are many ways to resolve things, and violence is only used when things cannot be resolved by conventional means and threatens our core interests.”

The boss said: "Charlie, because of your violent practices, we have become the key targets of the police throughout Europe in less than half a year. Your order has also caused everyone to complain. The entire team is facing both external and internal threats and is on the verge of collapse."

Charlie apologized: "I'm sorry boss."

The boss said: "I said earlier that you are incapable of being this supervisor. Choose a suitable place to spend the rest of your life. Quartz, you are now the acting supervisor. The collaborators will be disbanded on the spot and wait for the new supervisor to contact you."

Charlie helplessly replied with Quartz: "Understood."

Chapter 47 Revenge ([-])

It was the same London night as Charlie, but Liang Xi had no wine. He took a cup of black tea in his small apartment and looked at the computer screen, thinking: Who else broke the glass?

Don't think about the left side, Liu Zhen's 24 hours are enough for Liang Xigou for a month. Liang Xi is not thinking about the glass, but the person who broke the glass.If the drunkards didn't lie and they only smashed a glass, it means that two people from different camps sneaked into their rented villa last night.Is it robbery?Although he is handsome, he doesn't seem to be that handsome.Robbery?Robbers with a bit of a conscience should also know who gave whom.

Liang Xi speculated that there were no more than a few reasons why the alcoholic accomplice sneaked into his villa.Assassination, kidnapping, theft. After the accident in Villa No. 11, the alcoholic accomplice found himself living in the villa with his real name.The accomplice is inexplicably attacked by a group of mysterious people, and the alcoholic's accomplice hopes to get the answer in himself.Because your income does not match the price of the villa you are staying in.

But who is the other person?Liang Xi couldn't understand the purpose of another person, whether it was robbery, assassination, kidnapping, as long as it was aimed at himself, he would choose the time to go to the villa when he was full.After eliminating all possibilities, Liang Xi speculated that it was his abnormal behavior of renting a villa that alerted the other party.Thinking of the various interest circles he was involved in, Liang Xi deduced that there was only one possibility of John's death.

No matter what the other party's intentions are, if he didn't succeed yesterday, he will probably do it again today.But because it was only possible, Liang Xi could not ask Liu Zhen and Baker for help.In addition, asking them for help may alarm the bad guys who were about to do it.

Liang Xi's hand reached in from the keyboard push and pull drawer on the table, touched it upward for a while, and took out a revolver.This gun was old John's father's gun when he joined the army during World War II.Two years ago, after two burglaries and murders near Liang's residence, John gave the pistol to Liang.Liang Xi refused. John told Liang Xi, I don't want you to be trapped in the room by a few people with knives, waiting desperately for them to smash through the door and cut your throat.In the end, Liang Xi accepted the pistol and went through the formalities to legally own the pistol.

Liang Xi checked the time, it was [-]:[-] pm.Liang Xi downloaded a serial on his computer, played it while playing, and turned on the speaker.Then Liang Xi put the pistol in the drawer, set the alarm clock and went to bed without turning off the light.

More than three hours later, the phone vibrated and woke Liang Xi up.Liang Xi got out of bed, turned off the computer, turned off the speakers, turned off the lights, took the pistol, and sat on the chair facing the door.

One in the morning is a good time if there are visitors.But Liang Xi couldn't sleep until one point, because he always went to bed before 11 o'clock.This is the way of thinking of the detective Liang Xi.There is a high probability that there will be no visitors, after all, a lot of things happen during the day.However, as a detective, since there is a low probability that a visitor will visit in the near future, you must be prepared.

Liang Xi sat in the chair and thought about it with all kinds of thinking, such as assumptions, inferences, and inferences. He could only guess that it was related to John's death, but he still couldn't understand the purpose of the infiltrator's infiltration.He remembered that a glass smasher was using a floor lamp, so Liang Xi saw the death mask on the other's face.He didn't know whether the alcoholic accomplice smashed the glass with a floor lamp or a potted plant.

When he was sleepy, Liang Xi drank the cold black tea to refresh his mind.Until [-]:[-] in the morning, with the light of the sleep lamp, Liang Xi saw the door lock slowly turn.Liang Xi was very nervous and scared. The surge of adrenaline made his hands tremble and panic, but Liang Xi still raised his gun and aimed it.

The door was gently pushed open, and a black-robed man wearing a death mask crouched down and quickly entered the door. He didn't expect to be greeted by a bullet.As soon as the gunshots rang, the death mask rolled back and closed the door, and the movements were completed in one go.Liang Xi immediately hid in the bedroom and closed the door, leaning against the wall to call the police.

……

"I was shot."

"Who did it?"

"Liang attack."

"Location."

"Listen, after the gunshots, several people saw me running out of the apartment building. My blood was on the scene."

"I'll handle it. Where are you?"

"The woods on the south side of Monument Park."

"I'll send the paramedics over right away. You can't go to the hospital."

"I know."

Karin put her phone aside and pressed her hand against her thigh, her blood everywhere in the car.Karin couldn't understand why Liang Xi squatted herself?Assuming that Liang Xi was awakened and resisted with a gun, she would understand even if she was killed.But the moment she opened the door, Karin found that Liang Xi was ambushing herself.Karin cannot accept that a highly trained agent is ambushed by a civilian.This time she entered the room, she didn't tell anyone, the only one who would betray herself was herself.Karin couldn't figure it out.

The medical staff provided by Mark were two women in their 40s. They helped Karin onto the van to prepare for the operation.Due to the undercover needs of Karin, only local anesthesia was used for the operation.There are not many inspection facilities. They talk to Karin during the operation, and judge Karin's condition from the conversation with Karin.

"John's adopted son? Liang Xi?" A woman pinched a bullet: "22 bullets, it seems that today is your lucky day."

Karin endured the pain, sweat soaked through the operating table, Karin asked: "What happened to John's adopted son?"

The woman started stitching up the wound: "A lot of people have a misunderstanding of John, thinking he's just a very smart detective."

Karin: "Actually?"

The woman said: "In fact, he is a very smart detective. Don't you think it's strange that his husband and wife have an adopted son who has no legal relationship in their 50s? With the conditions of their husband and wife, it is not difficult to adopt a child. "

The woman said: "I know Mary. To be precise, my mother and Mary are friends. Our family is in the same community. So I know that Liang Si is a young man that John likes very much. John is a very scary person, he will not With a gun, he can't fight, but he can predict your behavior. Unless you want to get rid of him, you'd better not provoke him, because you have absolutely no idea what his mind is thinking, he can read your words and deeds how many of your secrets you can get."

The woman said: "I know you are not convinced, but you will understand if you think about it from another angle. Liang Xi will never be able to reach your fighting level. He doesn't even know where your next punch will be and why your leg will be hit. So fast. It's like I can't understand why John can see my hidden secrets, why he can know where things are going."

Another woman said: "She doesn't want to admit that she is not as smart as Liang Xi."

The woman said, "I advise you to stop playing the game of using your own shortcomings against others' strengths."

Karin said: "I don't consider myself stupid."

The woman said, "Even if John's IQ is higher than ordinary people, he won't be very high. He is scary in his logic of thinking, observation, judgment, reasoning, etc."

"Thank you for the teaching, I'll keep it in my heart." The anesthesia effect slowly dissipated, and after rinsing the wound with alcohol again, Karin stomped in place. Even so, she didn't cry out in pain, and still tried her best to speak to the two of them in a calm tone.

Women's appreciation: "As expected of MI6."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The woman said: "If Liang Xi is lying here, I guarantee that all London can hear his screams. So don't belittle yourself, you have your ability, he has his ability."

Chapter 48 Warehouse Skeleton

As the director of MI5, Mark is now one head and two big.He knew the whole story of Liang Xi's shooting, but he didn't expect Liu Zhen from the anti-fan team to ask Liang Xi for witness protection.The reason Liu Zhen said was very good. Yesterday Liang Xi helped their anti-fan team catch a ghost, and someone invaded Liang Xi's apartment last night. It was obviously the revenge of the gang against Liang Xi.

Threatening witnesses is of a vile nature. Prosecutors will definitely send the alcoholic case back to the Metropolitan Police for a full-scale investigation, and urge the Metropolitan Police to send the best detectives to investigate the case.This situation made Mark very anxious. Once the special agent with independent investigation power intervenes in the investigation of the case, sooner or later the dune will be dug up.So Mark reluctantly found a scapegoat.

The scapegoat with gunshot wounds could not be found for a while, so he could only aggrieved himself for being shot.The ghost confessed to the burglary, Mark replaced the blood sample for the test, and the case took two days to close the coffin.

The criminal gang and the Dune Action Group eat Huanglian dumbly, and suffer a great loss in silence.The Dune team has not yet figured out why Liang Xi appeared at Maria Hospital multiple times.

Mark worries that it is not for nothing that John is killed for helping a big man find out Angela's identity.Operation Dune targets people Angela might be able to woo.Liang Xi, the adopted son of John, is likely to be hired by this big man to investigate certain people and things.But Mark didn't want to look for answers from Liang Xi anymore, because it was too dangerous.

Also in trouble was Karin, who had to eat with her parents on the third day after she was shot.You can skip meals, but since your parents are in London, they will definitely meet.Even if Karin is busy with work, parents can visit Karin in the hospital.Therefore, this level must be passed by Karin.Coincidentally, Baker called and told Karin that the damn Liang Xi would also be at the dinner.

After Mark and Karin communicated, they believed that Liang Xi was very likely to discover Karin's injury.What can I do if I can't escape?Karin had to perform the scene of falling down the stairs and put a cast on her thigh.First, it can cover up the gunshot wound, and second, it can avoid this dinner.

Although Liang Xi occasionally thinks of another piece of glass, in essence, he has avenged both pieces of glass.

……

With the 24-hour translation work reward presented by Liu Zhen, Liang Xi began to float, and went to the mall to buy a few more decent clothes and a briefcase for himself.I bought a gift for Mary, maintained the car, filled up the gas heroically, and even bought myself a tiramisu for a late night snack.

Although it's a pity that the goddess Karin didn't attend the dinner because of her injury, Liang Xi still ate with Karin's parents as Baker's friend.On Baker's request, Liang Xi accompanied Karin's parents for a day in London as a tour guide.When taking Karin's parents on the plane, Karin's parents expressed their gratitude to Liang Xi. They liked this polite and honest young man very much, and they intended to let Karin and Liang Xi have more contact.Baker disagreed. He believed that even his own parents couldn't bully his friends like this and let their parents die.

Eat with Baker, eat with Mary, eat by yourself, read books in the detective agency every day, and swim occasionally.As soon as you close your eyes, the days pass by like this, with no criminal gangs and no intruders.

Three weeks of quiet days are broken by Poppy, and it's time for Poppy to go to hell once or twice a month.Paying off debts is a matter of course.This is also considered hunger marketing. The boss downstairs after get off work every day always invites you to eat crayfish. After a week, they don’t invite you, but you have the habit of eating crayfish while watching dramas.The truth is this truth, but this truth is not logical, unless the crayfish in this store is irreplaceable.In order to be able to buy a good price for the sixth time, Liang Xi decided to become an irreplaceable candidate in the future of Poppy.At that time, don't say five hundred, ten thousand, and one hundred thousand Bobby you have to pay.

This is not extortion, this is the value of talent.

……

Two bulletproof bodyguard cars double-teamed the Beetle to go to today's hell: the distribution warehouse.The distribution warehouse can be said to be the ancestor of the blind box, and its history can be traced back to the last century.Warehouses are usually leased to private individuals, businesses, companies, etc.Items in warehouses are auctioned off when private individuals, businesses and companies go bankrupt or have their assets frozen.The most exciting thing about the auction is that the auctioneer is entrusted by a third party. They do not evaluate the goods in the warehouse, but simply list what is in the warehouse.A group of people with banknotes bid at the door of the warehouse, and the winner of the auction could get all the items.

In this century, the situation has changed considerably.In order to protect the rights and interests of debtors and auctioneers, inventory and estimation of things in the warehouse are usually carried out.However, there are always many strange things in the warehouse, such as car engines from 50 years ago, aircraft models from 30 years ago, poop from two days ago, etc. It is difficult to estimate the exact price of these things.So the auctioneer will publish the auction information through the Internet, and the buyers will bid on the Internet after reading the information.

The renters of the distribution warehouse are different, and no one knows what is in it.Maybe warehouse 1 is wood, warehouse 2 is cars, and warehouse 3 is air.The purpose of leasing also varies, some are for storing old things after marriage, some are for storing the relics of the deceased.

The distribution warehouse I am going to go to today is in the north of London. There are two kinds of residential communities, apartment buildings and villas, as well as commercial office buildings nearby. There are also an eye hospital and a dental hospital nearby.There are also bars, restaurants, hotels, police stations, and fire brigades.There are more than 500 warehouses, each with an area of ​​30 square meters. 20 warehouses form a row, and 40 warehouses form a unit.The two rows of warehouses are back to back and share a wall.There are driveways front and rear.

Liang Xi followed the bodyguard car to the middle lane of Unit 4 and Unit 5.Almost all warehouses use rolling shutters, and several of them have shutters ajar, indicating that they are currently vacant.

Poppy handed Liang Xi an emergency pager: "Press and hold the red button for two seconds to send out a distress signal. Press and hold the blue button to talk to my bodyguard. Drive the car to the 430 warehouse."

Poppy pressed the remote control to open the shutter door of the 430 warehouse, picked up the pager: "You guys go and rest."

"Yes, sir." The two bodyguard cars left.

Liang Xi drove into the house, Bobby put down the shutter door, Liang Xi pushed open the small door in the warehouse and walked out, looking around on his hips: "This place is haunted?" This place is so neat and tidy, why is it haunted?There's nowhere to hide if it sounds ugly.You're also dealing too much with your own mental illness.

Poppy pointed to the road, a family [-] meters away from the warehouse: "Late the night before yesterday, the male owner of this family called the police, saying that his child witnessed a situation he didn't know how to say."

After the patrol arrived, he chatted with the five-year-old boy for a while. The boy said that he saw a man dressed in black appearing on the side of the driveway of warehouse 4-5, swaying, as if he was drunk.So the little boy took the binoculars to look at it, and he was surprised to find that the man's feet were half a meter above the ground, so he was floating rather than walking.When he was looking carefully, the man turned his head, and the little boy saw a skeleton head, which scared him and immediately got into the bed.Because the movement was too big, the milk cup was overturned. After asking the parents, they called the police.

Chapter 49 Purpose

Liang Xi pointed to the surveillance at the intersection and asked, "What did it capture?"

Poppy replied: "Three months ago, this monitor accidentally appeared snowflakes, because other monitors were intact. After the administrator reported to the company, he didn't pay much attention to it. When the little boy went to hell, the monitor happened to have snowflakes. Interestingly, The police checked other surveillance cameras, and the surveillance did not capture any vehicles and people entering the warehouse area an hour before and after the haunted haunt. You saw the only entrance to the warehouse just now, and the security guards at the entrance booth did not find any vehicles or pedestrians entering the warehouse area.”

Liang Xi said: "In other words, there may be people living in warehouses 421-440, 501-520."

"No judge would have issued dozens of search warrants for the little boy's description," Poppy said.

Liang Xi understood that Poppy was here to solve the case by himself, and by the way, see the hell.

Liang Xi said, "Poppy."

Poppy is wary: "I don't like your tone."

Liang Xi said: "It's free to see the ghost five times. I'm not going to break the bill. But I need to collect additional money to solve the case."

Poppy was annoyed: "Haggling again?"

Liang Xi said: "You can also give it directly."

Poppy asked, "How to charge?"

Liang Xi didn't answer right away, and Bobby said, "I have to say first, if you can't solve the case, you have to compensate me for the commission fee. You charge [-], and if you don't solve the case, you have to give me [-]."

Liang Xi ignored Poppy.He must first judge the nature of the case before he can decide how much he will charge.Whether or not this case exists is unclear.Tong Yan Wuji, sometimes the child's words are very believable, and sometimes the child's words are completely unbelievable.The reason is that children can easily confuse dreams, cartoons and reality.

The child said that there are skeletons floating on the road, OK, it can be done in theory.Surveillance did not capture suspicious vehicles and people, OK, that may be because people live in warehouses and other reasons.The key point of the case is floating characters. Why do skeletons drift on the road?Liang Xi could find an explanation for each strange point, but he couldn't find the purpose of the skeleton floating on the road.Therefore, Liang Xi thinks that there is a possibility that the little boy is lying, or that the details are wrong.

When the police handle a case, they deduce from the clues to find the answer.Liang Xi, a detective, likes to assume answers and then rule them out.If the purpose of the human body floating is not solved, Liang Xi cannot assume the answer.Therefore, if Liang Xi wanted to solve the case, he could only give up the evil sect martial arts, and began to search and collect clues until he solved the mystery of the purpose of the floating human body.

Liang Xi does not care why the human body floats, he cares about the purpose of the human body floating.The detective's sharp thinking told him that the purpose of the human body floating is the most critical factor in this case.

"Hello, Liang Xi?" Bobby waved in front of Liang Xi and called several times without responding.

Liang Xi retracted his thoughts and said, "I want to chat with the security guard, the night shift security guard. If possible, I would like to chat with the little boy."

Poppy replied, "I can't do it, little boy. The security can arrange it. I'll take care of everything. Our topic?"

Liang Xi asked back, "What topic?"

Poppy looked at Liang Xi and shook his head: "No, no topic." This guy seemed to be a detective.

Liang Xi was not interested in bickering with Bobby. He kept the surrounding details in his mind while thinking about the information he had.Liang Xi ignored Bobby, who felt rather bored, followed Liang Xi for a walk back and forth on the road, and couldn't help asking: "If what the little boy said is true, how can a person float to a height of 0.5 meters above the ground? "

Liang Xi replied: "The answer to this question is meaningless, there are many ways."

Poppy asked, "Then what are you thinking?"

Liang Xi replied: "I want to figure out the secret of surveillance. All surveillance works normally, but this surveillance works sometimes and sometimes doesn't."

Poppy asked: "The drifter broke the surveillance?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "No, it is far more difficult to monitor poor contact than to monitor not working."

Poppy: "Someone hacked the surveillance?"

Liang Xi thought for a long time: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Poppy concluded: "Someone wanted to do something, so he invaded the surveillance camera, which caused the surveillance screen to snow from time to time. The surveillance couldn't capture his behavior."

Liang Xi said: "Monitoring is just a clue, and it cannot fundamentally solve the case."

……

The night shift security guard answered Liang Xi's question: "Three months ago, the first snowflake appeared on the No. 6 surveillance camera."

Liang Xi asked, "Why isn't it repaired?"

The security guard replied: "After we reported for repairs, there was no problem in the next few days. The employees of the company's engineering department also checked and monitored without problems. The next snowflakes occurred about once a week to two weeks."

Liang Xi asked, "How long will it last?"

The security guard replied: "The length varies, the shortest seems to be more than a dozen seconds. The longest one is 3 minutes as I remember. About 1 minute after the picture was restored, there was another 1 minute of snowflakes."

Liang Xi asked, "Does it all happen on night shifts?"

The security guard replied: "It should be there during the day, but the day shift would rather go out on patrol than stare at the surveillance camera at the guard booth. The night shift is boring, and my partner is a boring guy, so I will just stare at the surveillance camera when I have nothing to do."

Liang Xi asked curiously, "Did you not arrange patrols?"

The security guard replied: "Our surveillance covers every area of ​​the warehouse without dead ends."

Liang Xi said: "I noticed that the iron fence is 45 meters high, and there are several steel wires pulled outward at a [-]-degree angle. Is the steel wire powered?"

The security replied: "There is no electricity. This design can already prevent ordinary people from climbing the fence. The main security force is still completed by monitoring."
