Shortly after lunch, the service team hired by Poppy arrived, and they began to decorate the house to make the birthday atmosphere as perfect as possible. Tables, chairs and dining tables were arranged on the large grass in the front yard, some snacks, desserts, iced drinks were placed, and a chef prepared barbecue marinade. Such a big spectacle attracted idle acquaintances from the community, and everyone quickly regarded it as a lively social place, some played poker, and others put on a chess game. For a while, Mary's home and the neighbor's lawn were extremely lively.
Mary has a cheerful personality and never refuses anyone. Because Bobby was taken advantage of, the service company sent additional staff and food to the scene to serve according to the number of guests. Mary's only worry is that it's not going well, costing Poppy a lot of money, and she hasn't seen Poppy yet. Liang Xi comforted Mary, this guy is only poor with money. In fact, Liang Xi knew that Bobby first came to save face for himself, and secondly, he came to save face for himself. Bobby just wanted to create the grandeur of the emperor going on tour, and shake the ground wherever he went. After all, the effect of money is more obvious than showing off one's IQ and kindness, and it will not deceive people.
Amidst the bustle and bustle, the big cake appeared, and the huge seven-story cake was sent into the living room. Liang Xi silently glanced at the cake he made in the kitchen, and now he wanted to punch someone a little bit. The damn Golden Retriever managed all the topics of today's birthday with a penny, even Mary became a supporting role, and he was reduced to a secondary role, and he didn't even have more than three lines of lines.
It was Mark who arrived after the cake. Mark sent a bouquet of flowers, and then hugged Mary face-to-face. Obviously, he was more familiar with Mary. Mary specially asked Liang Xi, who was reading in the study on the second floor, to greet Mark. Not because of other reasons, because Mark is the only friend of John among the guests who have arrived so far.
Mark did not hide his identity. When Liang Xi explained that he inherited the Rose Detective Agency and asked about his job, he said frankly: "The director of the five operations." In fact, he still concealed it. To be precise, he was the director of the five special operations.
John once talked to Liang Xi about the five divisions. The five divisions have six directors on the surface, each responsible for a field of affairs, such as anti-national terrorism, anti-Northern Ireland and domestic terrorist attacks. The Chiefs of Operations each have their own teams under the direct supervision of the Directors. The Special Operations Director is different. At the beginning of this century, the Five Branches underwent a major overhaul and became a domestic intelligence agency similar to the FBI, but without criminal investigation and arrest powers. The Special Operations Office continues the traditional five-office style. In a word, it is a secret operations office that is not under the leadership of the government.
?For example, if there is a fear of preparing to do bad things in London, under normal circumstances, the fifth branch is responsible for collecting intelligence, analyzing intelligence, and handing over the information to the police and other relevant agencies for processing. The Office of Special Operations can act directly to combat terrorism without approval, without the consent and assistance of other judicial agencies.
Mark and Liang Xi chatted about John's case, which sounded very real, but they were actually talking around. Mark said: "Not long ago, the police arrested a kidnapper in Villa Village. It was confirmed that he was an active French policeman. We suspected that he had a direct relationship with a criminal gang with a changeable name. We called this criminal gang Chameleon because Every time they act, they change the code names of all the participants."
Liang Xi asked: "Do you think they are related to John?"
Mark did not deny: "From our intelligence, John seemed to be investigating something before his death. Based on the intelligence before and after, it was found that only the Chameleon gang was the most eye-catching."
Mark already knew that it was Bobby's bodyguards who raided the villa, rescued the hostages and caught the gangsters. Contacting Liang Xi Huyoubo to investigate the distribution warehouse incident, there is reason to suspect that Liang Xi is using Bobby who is doing nothing. But to Mark's surprise, Bobby's father rejected Mark's proposal to stop Bobby. He told Mark that he had no right to interfere with Bobby's making friends, and that if Bobby broke the law, he could be arrested directly.
Without evidence, plus Clement's lawyers, Mark certainly didn't want to get into trouble. It just so happened that one of Bobby's bodyguards was a comrade-in-arms of Mark's subordinates. Through his subordinates, he learned that it was indeed Liang Xi who asked Bobby to lead people to raid the villa. As for the warehouse, he didn't know, he was only responsible for carrying out the orders of the chief bodyguard. Under the questioning of Mark's subordinates, the bodyguard told Mark's subordinates that even if he knew something, he would not tell Mark's subordinates because he did not want to lose this very well-paid job.
The bodyguard is very skillful in speaking, and he has already pushed what Bobby did to Liang Xi. Liang Xi can be finished, he must protect Bobby, his boss. In the end, Mark came to a conclusion that deviated from the facts: Liang Xi deceived Bobby and used Bobby's resources and money to do bad things for himself.
To Mark's surprise, Liang Xi was not interested in the chameleon gang. It seemed that Liang Xi had already determined that the chameleon had nothing to do with John's murder. Mark tentatively asked, "Do you think Chameleon has nothing to do with John's murder?"
Liang Xi replied: "As far as I know, a criminal group will not allow John to hide the secret from Mary and me.??Investigate. John was too old to be interested in gangs. The person who can get John, who has retired, should be an old friend of John. From the investigation information at the scene where John was killed, I think the murderer is very likely to be a big shot, a big shot with thugs in his hands. "
Mark asked, "Who could that be?"
Liang Xi explained: "The first one may be the bosses of the judiciary, they have the resources in this area. The second one may be rich people. For example, I have a friend whose bodyguards are treated well, so his bodyguards I don¡¯t care about helping him do some bad things. The third possibility is a powerful person. No matter what kind of power, if you have power, you are a big shot. The so-called Matthew who met John should not be the mastermind, but should be an aide next to the big shot, a dog leg people like that."
Liang Xi said: "From the degree of their secrecy, it can be seen that the big shots must be doing bad things. If John wants to help someone do bad things, the relationship must be very strong, and even a life-and-death acquaintance can let John do bad things for him. John's life-and-death acquaintance I know who they are, and I've ruled them out. There's only one other scenario where the relationship is good, but it's not as good as having John do something bad for him."
Liang Xi said: "Why did John help him? Because it may not be a bad thing for a big man to do. No, let's put it this way, it's nothing for me to do this kind of thing as a commoner. It's a big thing for a big man to do this kind of thing. Therefore I speculate that it should be related to the morality of the latter woman. If my speculation is correct, the big man must be a powerful person on the surface." For example, what Clinton did is a fart for ordinary people, but because he is the president, it is A scandal that shocked the world. John will help his friends investigate such bad things that are not bad things.
After what Liang Xi said, Mark's palms were sweating, this little thing is a monster. He deduced step by step from what he knew about John, and deduced the general information about the mastermind behind the scenes. Not only did Liang Xi speculate on the big man, but he was also likely to speculate on the scandal of the big man.
Mark is faced with judgment, does Liang Xi really have this ability? Or was it because Liang Xi was employed by a certain important person and had additional information that he could come to this speculative conclusion? Mark is more willing to believe that it is the former. Liang Xi may really have such an ability, and the reason is that John has such an ability. Compared with John's city mansion, Liang Xi's desire to attack is stronger, his analysis is bolder, and his sharp edge is like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath. He is a very dangerous person.
A very dangerous person must first be qualified to be dangerous, and an incompetent person, no matter how courageous and thoughtful he is, cannot become a dangerous person.
"Yeah!" Mark answered the phone, and after listening for a while, he answered calmly: "I'll be there right away.?
