Hour Chase

Simon picked up the microphone and at the same time gestured with his eyes to those around him.

After the other party made an OK gesture, Simon picked up the phone.

"Hi, I'm Simon from the Criminal Investigation Team."

...

After 10 minutes, the phone hung up.

Simon was a little puzzled, but he couldn't refute the man's words.

She actually suggested to herself to solve the case.Even when and what to do, are precise.

At the end of the call, Simon wished she could meet with him to confirm the veracity of what she had said.

Although she did not mention her real identity throughout the process, she accepted her suggestion.

A recording of the call has been recorded and the location of the other party has been tracked.

Now, just wait for her to show up.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Simon waited alone in the office, checking the investigation report throughout the day.

According to the bomb fragments found at the scene, it is a very common explosive weapon.

Also, it is often used in political assassinations.

Blowing up cars and people together is too cruel.However, the practice of destroying evidence is impeccable.

Considering the identity of the victim, Simon can fully understand this method of political assassination.

Using simple means, such as sniping, such a fatal blow is certainly effective.

Unfortunately, as long as such an approach is a little careless, the criminal himself will be discovered and exposed.

In any case, the conclusion that can be drawn now is that this case is inseparable from the Adams family.

He was killed by a bomb because he had the key evidence.Buying murder to kill is a typical underworld practice.

Already had my third cup of coffee.There was an appointment to meet at eight o'clock, but the man was late.

There is a list of personnel of Plory Company in the material at hand.

According to the man, she is an employee of this company.It's just that the position and name are not disclosed.

This company has been established for only three years, but it has a lot of employees.

There are more than 100 people in sales, publicity, logistics, and security.

There is an idea, if you find the person who claimed to be an employee just now in these personnel lists, it is not impossible, but it is time-consuming and inaccurate.

The clock on the wall has gone from morning to night, and the hour hand is still turning without stopping.

There are also a lot of documents piled up on the table.If that person doesn't show up, the interest in reading the documents will be greatly reduced.

The door of the office was wide open, and the police officers coming and going could be seen at a glance.

Perhaps it is such a special moment, and it is not a lot to stay in the police station to work overtime.

The chances of being able to leave work on time may not exist during this time, compared to the days of peace and quiet.

Talking outside the door, typing, other than that...

"Leader."

Two people appeared at the door of the office.

The subordinate Moore appeared here with a woman.Needless to say, the mysterious woman on the phone must be her.

Looking at this woman and looking at her clothes, she seems to be just an ordinary female white-collar worker.

It was this kind of female white-collar worker who was actually the same person as the person on the phone who told everything in a calm tone.

It has to be said that such a person is too suspicious.

"Would you like coffee, ma'am? I think we'll be talking for a while."

As he said that, the paper cup with coffee in his hand was placed in front of the man.

The door is still open.But Simon has no plans to close.Because he doesn't worry about their conversation being heard.

The reason is that the decibels of the sound outside are much louder than the sound inside. If you really want to listen carefully, it may be quite difficult.

"So, shall we begin?"

Simon put his cup on the table and looked at the woman in front of him with interest.

"Of course. The purpose of my coming here is naturally to explain to you what I know."

"It will be our pleasure if you give us any clues that can help the case. Then, "

Simon paused, then continued.

"Before discussing this case, could you please clarify your identity?"

"It's natural."

The woman took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Simon.

"Miss Steiner."

The woman nodded and smiled.

The style of the business card is exclusive to Plory Company, with her name, position, contact information and other relevant information printed on it.

But just such a small business card made Simon feel puzzled.

"Then allow me to ask you straight to the point. Can I think that you are deliberately making up stories about the things you mentioned on the phone? How do you know that Neil Adams will not sneak away like his father? U.K?"

"As a legal person, I know the consequences of perjury very clearly. I will not joke about my future."

Even though he very much agreed with her statement, Simon still didn't believe it.

"In that case, what is your basis?"

"It's simple. If I say it, I think you'll understand what I'm saying."

The woman took out a fountain pen from the outside of the bag and wrote a name on the back of the business card.

"She, you should have an impression, right? If you watch TV, you must know."

Simon's expression remained relaxed, but his inner feelings quietly changed.

"Caroline Prince."

"As an employee, I agree with everyone else that Mr Adams has treated his fiancée with impeccable integrity. I am sure he would not have left London even for her."

"However, people's feelings will change over time. Maybe their feelings are not as beautiful as what outsiders see."

"about this point…"

At this moment, Simon noticed her hesitation.The woman's brows were slightly frowned, which meant that she was a little worried.

"Although I can't confirm whether there is a relationship problem between them, I have evidence to prove that they are indeed preparing for the wedding."

"That means, whether they're in a good relationship or not, they're going to get married eventually. Is that so?"

The woman nodded.

"So, what is your basis for saying?"

Watching the woman take out a crimson small box from her suit pocket, Simon has already guessed the answer.

A pair of wedding rings.

When the woman opened it, the silver luster of the ring said everything.

"This is the ring that Mr. Adams ordered. It's in my hand now. It's not convenient for him to get it, so he asked me to get it back for him."

Simon looked at it and asked.

"Excuse me, can I take a closer look?"

Seeing the woman making a gesture of invitation, Simon was not polite and took out the two rings together.

It is more appropriate to describe it as unpretentious.However, the two rings were engraved with their names.From this point of view alone, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, sending a colleague to pick up the ring, which plays an important role in the wedding, seems to be a bit of a joke to deal with feelings.

"I have a question. Why didn't you go to pick up the ring yourself, but let you go? I thought, could it be because you know that you have a high chance of being arrested by the police when you go out, so you let someone else go?"

"Perhaps. I'd like to know why, too. But anyway, the rings are here."

Although his team was not mainly responsible for Adams' case, fortunately, he finally got such an opportunity now.If you follow the line of the woman in front of you, you may find new discoveries.

The talks have lasted for more than an hour.Simon summed up the woman's remarks in his mind, but felt more and more that she did not provide any valuable clues about the bombing.

In the final analysis, since she picked up the phone, her words have never focused on this case.

That is to say, he and she had a great discussion on another case.

It's really interesting.Did you find unexpected treasure instead of finding something useful?

Thinking of this, Simon could no longer resist the smile in his heart and laughed out loud.

"I think we have to switch the topic back, Miss Steiner. Indeed, after our investigation and analysis, this case is indeed very closely related to Adams."

After a pause, Simon added.

"As a subordinate of Neil Adams, do you know what kind of production work the Grona factory is engaged in?"

The woman lowered her head slightly, with a serious expression on her face.

"I suppose since you're going to give evidence, at least you'll know something?"

"You're right. This factory, I've heard of it. Not long ago, I was asked to accompany the president to a meeting with representatives of the Grona factory. It's a pity that I didn't attend at that time due to personal reasons. However, at that time Among the materials I got, there were some things that caught my attention."

"Oh? What is it, can you tell me?"

"It's about the factory's production plan. Among them, one item is replaced by a capital letter W and highlighted in red. At that time, I did not doubt this item, and even completely ignored its existence."

"So, what exactly is it, do you know?"

At this time, the woman raised her head and met Simon's eyes.

“Weapons”

"Weapon!"

The two uttered the same words together.

"I read the news, and when I learned that my boss, Mr. Adams, was involved in arms smuggling, I immediately understood the meaning of W."

Simon was satisfied with her answer.However, the woman's sudden realization seemed a bit hypocritical.

This tone is too deliberate.

Since it is the person who will participate in the meeting, if he does not know the so-called production items in advance, how to integrate into the meeting and how to deal with all the questions of the other party.

He actually said that he only found out after the fact. It was a joke to try to deceive himself with such nonsense.

Simon didn't want to touch her, but just let her talk.

"In that case, have you ever visited this factory?"

"No…"

Simon nodded and continued to ask.

"So, can you provide any other clues that may be useful to this case?"

Perhaps because of the heating, the woman's face became more rosy.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see her speech.

"Sorry. Not anymore."

"It's okay, on behalf of the police, I thank you for your assistance. If you still have relevant clues in the future, please contact the police in time."

After the meeting, Simon personally sent the woman out of the office.

At this time, the woman made an unexpected move.
