After dinner, Liang Xi returned to the room and contacted Tang Na to explain the situation and express his attitude: "Hannah has no intention of asking me to investigate. The four murders all occurred abroad, and I myself have no interest in going abroad to investigate. It is basically certain that Hannah has no intention of asking me to investigate."

Reese is not interested, Thresh’s strategy has completely failed, and now everyone knows that Chris is a fake Thresh. But don’t give up protecting Chris because of this, there are many smart people in this world, and there are also many fools.”

Donald said: "Can you discuss it with Hannah? Let our people participate in the investigation."

Liang Xidao: "I expressed this meaning, and Hannah thinks it is not necessary. She just needs a judicial agency to participate in this incident, and it doesn't matter which judicial agency it is. The people in the EU have made it clear that they will definitely assist Hannah in arresting

The murderer of Xiao An also reminded Hannah that all actions must be legal and compliant. The subtext: Don’t let us know when you do bad things, and the information you get from doing bad things can be shared with us.”

Donner asked: "Didn't Hannah and Fanny tell you part of the case information?"

"No." Liang Xi asked, "What are you worried about?" Tang Na asked Liang Xi this afternoon.

Downer replied: "I don't know what to worry about."

Liang Xi reminded: "You should be worried about the ten-day terrorist attack mentioned by Fanny."

Donner said: "Okay, I understand. If you have the latest news, please contact me..." He is the assistant director of the frontline police department. He has no counter-terrorism functions and only has the obligation to cooperate with the counter-terrorism department. Now that the blade is half-broken, he can only use this

The matter was handed over to the Anti-Terrorism Office. Of course, Downer would not make this decision. He contacted the director and informed the director of the situation, who would then assign the task. Downer also had an idea to reinstate Officer Isa to his post without taking leave for the time being and deal with it first.

Ten Days of Crisis.

Although Blade has only been established for a year and a half, it has a strong mass base. It has informants all over the UK and even has undercover agents hiding among ordinary people. If there is any difference between undercover agents and ordinary people, then

Because of their working and living environment, they are more likely to be close to extremists and illegal resources than ordinary people. Unless the anti-terrorism office has close contact with mi6, borrows external help from mi6, and uses its own domestic resources, it can stand alone.

Why is Downer worried? The leak of Operation Bloody Dawn illustrates the problem. Mengheka's new identity was given by the Witness Protection Agency. This agency is directly under the prosecutorial system and supervises each other. There is almost no possibility of leaks. But the gangsters can learn Mengheka's new identity.

, and accurately ambushed Monheika. The circus claimed that it was hired by Davis to kill Monheika, and Davis was directly related to Operation Bloody Dawn.

Everyone is worried that when the truth comes to light, it will cause an earthquake in the political arena. If someone in the UK is involved, the UK must find out the truth as soon as possible and capture this person.

…

Liang Xi didn't think too much. After dinner, he said goodbye after contacting Tang Na. Before leaving, Hannah's bodyguard gave Liang Xi a packet of information. Liang Xi didn't want it very much and didn't even discuss the reward, so why did he just give it to himself?

What about the information? But he took what was given to him. Bobby's bodyguard sent Liang Xi back to the apartment. Liang Xi threw the information aside and went to take a shower. When he came back, he lay on the bed chatting with Karin and watching TV. He didn't read the information.

, the reason is simply that I didn’t pay. The Kofu family also had to pay, or there were other reasons. Having a meal with you still gave Tang Na some face.

Due to his personality, even if he reminds himself to accumulate more resources, he will forget it later, otherwise there will be no need to remind himself. Liang Xi's problem is no longer a lack of resources, but a lack of information that cannot be provided by the resources.

Sleep well and go to work at the detective agency in high spirits the next day. As soon as he arrived at the detective agency, Liang Xi saw Baker leaning against the car, waiting for him.

Liang Xi stopped the car and asked, "Has an acquaintance of mine died?"

Baker said: "No."

Liang Xi asked: "Someone died?"

Baker shook his head: "No."

Liang Xi: "You want to treat me to breakfast?"

Baker picked up the food bag in his hand: "Coffee, steak."

Liang Xidao: "You are responsible for a certain case in which no one died."

Baker smiled and answered correctly. This was the first opportunity Baker had to handle a case independently after a year in the Criminal Investigation Department. In this case, he was the detective, the oldest, and did not need to report to anyone. At the same time, he could ask his colleagues to assist in the investigation.

, using the power of the technical department and the physical evidence department. Baker did not forget his personal power: Liang Xi.

Parking the car, he got into the Baker's car, took the breakfast, and said, "Isa's leave has been approved."

"We will go to Las Vegas the day after tomorrow in the afternoon, and then go to Canada, South America, and Southeast Asia." Baker gave Liang Xi his cell phone: "The hotels have been booked." He was in a pretty good mood. The only troublesome thing is that he has to

In front of Isa, Baker complained about Isa's suspension. In fact, Baker was particularly grateful to the guy who suspended Isa, allowing him to take advantage of the situation and replace the position of his job in Isa's mind.

Liang Xi returned the phone and asked: "What case?"

Baker said: "An American named Frank, thirty-five years old, male, lives in the Sanfan Hotel. Yesterday morning when cleaning, we found that he had not returned home all night, and the waiter did not take him seriously. At about ten o'clock last night, we received a call

After reporting the crime, the patrol went to the underground parking lot of an office building. The reporter was an employee of the company. He was getting ready to go home after the night shift. He heard the noise and followed the movement and discovered that a zombie car might have something alive. The police contacted the fire department to pry open the zombie car.

found Frank in the trunk."

Baker waited for the red light, swiped his phone a few times and handed it to Liang Xi. Liang Xi looked at the information and said, "That's pretty cruel!"

Baker replied: "Well, ten fingers were chopped off. Look at the next page."

Liang Xi looked through it and was surprised: "It is suspected that there is ricin in the body."

Baker said: "The doctor believes that if there is ricin, Frank only has 48 hours left to live. The doctor said that it will take at least eight hours of observation to determine whether it is ricin. Since the kidnapper wants to kill Frank, why not do it directly?

"

Liang Xi did not answer Baker's question, but asked his own question: "Why did you cut off the fingers? Is this torture? From the report, it seems that there is not much pain if you just cut them off. But the poison also shows that it is a kind of torture. In Frank's case,

While awake, he watches his life irreversibly move toward death, and suffers from toxins during this period."

In 2005, an illegal Algerian immigrant carried out a terrorist attack by throwing ricin in a public place in the UK. A policeman named Oke desperately tried to stop the attack. Oke died in the line of duty because he was not wearing a body armor. This is the first time that someone has been known to do so.

Use ricin toxin to carry out terrorist attacks. Afterwards, the British bacterial side began to study the toxin, and it is said that it has developed an antidote that can induce neutralizing antibodies. However, the bacterial side denied this, saying that the experiment had been suspended. The bacterial side's research believed that the ricin poisoning organism

The chain makes it impossible for it to spread on a large scale, and the cost-effectiveness is too low. Therefore, please rest assured that the toxin will be used as a poison to target a single person at most, and will not be used for large-scale terrorist attacks.

Baker said: "Is this case interesting? I'll give you 48 hours to solve the case, and then I'll go on my honeymoon."

"You think too highly of me." Liang Xi said: "Detectives can solve cases in a short time, but they must meet the most basic condition: the murderer must be related to the victim. Detectives do not have the ability to find the murderer among billions of people. Conan

You know? The murderer is to choose one from three, or one from more than one. The detective is least afraid of choosing one of several, and the most afraid is that the murderer and the victim are not related."

Baker said: "It can be seen that the kidnapper has a grudge against Frank."

Liang Xidao: "Frank is an American, traveling to London. What kind of enemies can a tourist have? On the other hand, a tourist can gain such an enemy in more than ten days, which shows that Frank has a background. To check his background, you have to

Contact the Americans. 48 hours is not enough. The only possibility now is that Frank, who is still conscious, can provide us with enough information. It is best that he knows who the kidnapper is. Is he still conscious?"

Baker replied: "When I went to see him in the early morning, he was falling asleep. The doctor asked me not to disturb him for the time being. The wound would be very painful when he woke up at this time. We have just passed it now."

Liang Xi asked: "Maria Hospital?"

Baker replied: "Bess Hospital."

Liang Xidao: "Can I be transferred to another hospital?"

Baker asked: "Maria Hospital has the ability to treat toxins?"

Liang Xi said: "No, I just miss Karin." How big of a deal is it to transfer to another hospital.

Although what Baker said was interesting, Liang Xi was not interested enough. This type of case either did not have the possibility of solving the case in a short time, or it was not difficult and the suspect could be caught directly. Whether the case was interesting did not depend on how cruel the criminal was or how painful the victim was.

What criminal methods the criminal used.

…

When Liang Xi and Baker arrived at the ward, Frank was throwing a tantrum because he found that all his fingers were gone. He couldn't accept the result. Baker asked the doctor, "Didn't you tell him the more difficult-to-accept result?" The doctor motioned to Baker to see if he could use it.

Frank kicked the hospital bed with his feet, and several nurses could not hold him down. Before the diagnosis was made, the doctor would not tell him his suspicions.

Doctor: "Unfortunately, you have to wait a little longer." The nurse injected Frank with a sedative, and Frank slowly calmed down and fell asleep.

Liang Xi asked: "Baker, have you found his finger?"

"I searched nearby trash cans and deployed police dogs, but couldn't find it."

"Mobile phone." Liang Xi took Baker's mobile phone and read the information for a while: "Have someone search for it in the river near the office building."

Baker called to make arrangements. A person responsible for collecting physical evidence waited for Baker to finish the call and handed Baker the cell phone in the evidence bag: "He called around nine o'clock last night."

"How did you beat him?" When Frank was found, his hands were tied behind his back, his feet were tied, and his mouth was gagged.

"Voice call, call the phone number named No. 123, the call time is about 30 seconds." The evidence officer said: "No. 123 has no registered owner information, and I don't know the identity of the other party." He left the decision of whether to call back to Baker.

Baker replied: "No, let the technical staff investigate the information associated with this number first."

The evidence officers nodded and went about their own business. Living people are more troublesome to deal with than corpses.

Liang Xi analyzed: "He didn't return all night, so he must have been kidnapped. How could he make a phone call again? Could it be that he was kidnapped after nine o'clock last night? There are so many contradictions in this case?"

Baker asked the doctor: "How long will it take to wake up?"

Doctor: "At least an hour."

"Go for a walk."

The two took the elevator downstairs, took the side door to sit on a bench in the small park, and analyzed the case. The more Liang Xi analyzed, the more bizarre he felt, especially when Frank's hands were cut off, his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was sealed.

How to call a cell phone to dial a number? Also, didn’t Frank know that his finger was cut off?

Baker gave information here: a medical incubator was found in the nearby river, and there were ten fingers in it. According to the doctor's preliminary conclusion, Frank had his ten fingers cut off around 8 p.m. The doctor believed that Frank had his ten fingers cut off while under anesthesia.

, and the other party bandaged Frank.

Liang Xi reasoned: "Kidnapping Frank, injecting anesthesia, amputating his fingers, stuffing them into the trunk, binding his hands and feet, sealing his mouth, Frank making voice calls...there must be something wrong here."

Baker asked: "Is it an operation? Amputating Frank's fingers to save his life?"

Liang Xi was startled: "I have read a lot of books and heard a lot of anecdotes. I have never heard of any disease that requires amputating ten fingers, and it is an acute disease. Could it be that ten fingers were smashed? Then why not send them to the hospital?

?”

"Liang Xi, Baker." As he spoke, a fat man appeared. Liang Xi and Baker stood up to greet him.
