The bodyguard chief and Shuangpi arrived in an off-road vehicle a few minutes later. After a few words of communication, the two pulled out their pistols and searched forward. They searched each room one after another. One person stepped aside and the other leaned forward to look into the room to avoid possible encounters. The gangsters suddenly attacked.

When they reached the middle, the two stopped. Peake raised his hand, stretched out a finger, and then made a few more gestures. At the same time, the bodyguard chief responsible for protecting the three detectives translated: "A deceased person was found."

The bodyguard waved his long finger forward, and Shuangpi continued to search forward.

After confirming safety, the three detectives arrived at the target room. They saw blood on the ground. A man had a bloody hole in his neck and was slumped against the wall. Judging from the blood coagulation, the deceased had been dead for at least 15 hours. The deceased was none other than George, one of the missing seven detectives.

The pursuit was stopped, and detectives from the North District Criminal Investigation Department intervened in the case. The detectives' comprehensive report concluded that although George was attacked at close range, George was in poor physical condition and was in his sixties. There may not be traces of the murderer on his body. DNA. The murder weapon cannot be determined at the moment because the murderer stabbed the same wound with an object two or three times in succession.

Kelant had served as a visiting professor at the Police University for two years, and the detective in charge happened to be his student. The detective must ask Kelant for his opinion. After communicating, the detective contacted the Special Operations Department and nearby towns. The strength of the police station and the manpower from Bobby's side launched a dragnet investigation into the monastery.

This investigation made a lot of discoveries. First, a tunnel was discovered in the main structure of the monastery, which was speculated to be an air defense area expanded during World War II. Underground air defense facilities were also discovered in the annexed building area. The second and biggest discovery was in the medical staff lounge in the annex building. There were rats infested. After careful investigation of the place, fresh food residues were found. Following the clues, I found an ancient well. I pulled up the rope and took a look. There was a brand new plastic bucket hanging inside. The police dog pointed at the nearby area that was originally a garden. Barking, I thought it was the body of the missing girl, but I didn't expect it to be a human waste landfill.

At this point, it is basically certain that one or more people are hiding in the monastery, and most of the activity areas are in the medical lounge. The monastery's medical auxiliary buildings are relatively large and disorderly, because the ascetics need to be treated. In the early hundreds of years, there was a shortage of medicines, and even more Herbal medicines are mostly used to prevent wound inflammation, so medical facilities are indispensable in the monastery.

After confirming that someone was hiding inside, the Special Operations Department sent additional personnel to conduct a comprehensive search of the monastery area overnight. Helicopters were also dispatched to transport police dog teams to the bottom of the cliff to search for human traces. During the large-scale search, the tracking personnel were limited to a few RVs. Activities in a small area. This is because there are big guys like Modo and Kelant among them. It is also the crime scene they found and the clues they found, so the Criminal Investigation Department will not offend them and drive them away. Besides, , maybe this group of people can still solve the case. Besides, they don’t want to have anything to do with Clement’s legal team.

…

Although Kensi was quite famous, her health was too ordinary and she had been resting in the RV. The two scumbags had their own whims and searched for secret passages everywhere in the monastery. When the other three people found the murdered George, they realized that this was a secret passage. A thigh-hugging game. But thigh-hugging is no fun. After nightfall, there was wine and conversation, and the two scumbags drank in the RV.

In Modo's RV, three detectives were conducting a comprehensive analysis of the case.

Liang Xi drew a location map on the writing board: "Let's first assume that there is a gangster in the monastery. There are many questions, why is he here? How long has he been here? His living area is in the medical lounge. Judging from the police search, he is in

He ate in the lounge, went to the toilet nearby, was very careful, and buried his feces. But he didn’t seem to stay in the lounge all the time.”

Kelant said: "The forensic doctor's autopsy report on several mice showed that there were green vegetables in the stomachs of the mice. No vegetable fields were found nearby. I speculate that his supply point should be a small town five kilometers away..."

Modo said: "Then there are more questions. For example, does he have transportation? There are not many people in the town, and everyone knows each other. The sudden appearance of strange faces may arouse the suspicion of the police at the police station. The gangsters live in the monastery enough

For a long time, he will attract special attention in the small town, how to obtain supplies? "

Liang Xi asked: "Theft?"

Kelant: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but if it is stolen and stolen multiple times, there must be a record in the police station."

Modo said: "The above are all questions, and there are more questions. He killed George and placed the body in the monastery without any means of hiding it. What about the girl? Was she killed? If she was killed, why was her body found?

Has it been dealt with? How to deal with it?"

Kelant asked: "You mean, the gangsters killed people and didn't dispose of the bodies. Maybe the girl didn't die."

Modo pondered for a moment: "Can't draw a conclusion."

Liang Xidao: "The girl disappeared, and the gangster still stayed in the monastery, or often came and went from the monastery. But after killing George, the gangster did not return to the monastery. The two people are different to the gangster. The assumption that the girl did not die is still

That’s established. Why not kill the girls but kill George? Girls and George have similar fighting abilities, and their threat to gangsters should be about the same."

Modo: "Very good, we have a few more questions. Liang Xi, tell us where to start."

Liang Xidao: "The gangster has something to do with the town. We must go to the town."

Modo asked: "Where is the autopsy report?"

Liang Xidao: "Based on the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, the murderer is very cruel, but not professional."

Kelant said: "Ponyboy? Although he has fighting ability, he was frightened by the scene, and under the influence of adrenaline, he couldn't help but attack."

Liang Xi replied: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Modo: "Drive, let's go to the town for a walk."

Liang Xi dissuaded him: "We'll go tomorrow. It's been a hard day, so you should have a good rest."

Modo laughed: "I will have a lot of time to rest in a few months."

Liang Xi had doubts in his mind, but didn't say anything else. Later he learned that Modo was terminally ill, refused chemotherapy, and had applied for euthanasia.

…

The town has more than 200 permanent residents. It is not a common farm and ranch town, and it itself is not well-known. The reason why the town still exists and there are many residents is that there is a famous Earl Gray tea roasting factory in the town.

Earl Gray black tea is a blend of black tea, in which citrus and other fruit oils are added to the black tea. The taste is very different from black tea. Some people like it very much, and some people don't like it very much.

There are only more than 20 workers in this processing plant, and the daily shipment volume is very low. However, the Earl Gray black tea produced by this processing plant is the favorite product of many London rich people. Many rich people once paid sky-high prices to acquire the processing plant and the formula.

, were all rejected by the boss. He did not go public, raise funds, expand production scale, or do advertising and marketing.

There are two centers in the town, one is a traditional church, and the other is a processing factory. Although the town is small, it is rich in content. There are cafes, cake shops, restaurants, hotels, and even two

A small supermarket with supporting facilities including a police station, primary school, clinic with ambulance, fire station, etc.

This is a very slow-paced town. When I entered the town at ten o'clock in the evening, I found that most of the shops were closed, and the lights were turned off from the houses outside the town to the houses in the center of the town. Like other small towns with a small population,

This town also has one of its biggest shortcomings: no nightlife and lack of entertainment industry.

The detectives and police officers from the North District Criminal Investigation Department used the police station to work, and after greeting each other, they did not disturb each other. There was only one local uniformed policeman on duty at the police station tonight. He told the three detectives that there were only four people in the police station and one car.

Police car and four bicycles. His daily work is to chat. He goes to work on patrol in the morning and asks the old lady if he needs help. He rides to the cafe, drinks a cup of coffee and eats breakfast. He has already reached the fourth quarter of the town.

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune. I occasionally go to London to see my parents, but I can't adapt to the rhythm of London at all.

The police officer informed that there were three surveillance cameras in the town, which were set up on three streets in the center of the town. After being asked about the theft, the police officer definitely answered that there was no theft. There are too few daily topics in the town. Not to mention that a certain store was robbed.

If a stranger shows up, someone will be willing to spend a few minutes discussing it with the police.

When asked about green vegetables, the police officer told them that no residents grow their own vegetables, and the only sources of vegetables are two small supermarkets. The two small supermarket companies will deliver to the town from London every morning to replenish fresh ingredients. The content is very rich and the prices are good.

Similar to London. The two small supermarkets are of the same brand and belong to a big brand. This big brand has a business that specializes in retail services in small towns with a population of no more than 3,000 people.

The police led the three men to knock on the door of the supermarket manager. The manager had fallen asleep, but he was not annoyed by the arrival of the uninvited guests. On the contrary, he looked very polite. He told the three detectives that although the supermarket was small, it was a big brand and had regulations.

The operation process. Specifically stated that they enjoy official subsidies. If the operation is not standardized, the subsidy will be cancelled. He is the manager of two stores, and he is sure that there is no theft in both small supermarkets.

The manager brought tea to everyone, and Kelant asked the manager and the police: "Have strange vehicles and strangers appeared frequently or occasionally in recent times?"

The two of them thought for a long time and shook their heads together.

Liang Xi did not give up and asked: "Where is the youngest person?"

Modo smiled at Liang Xi, who was so persistent in his own ideas? This character was different from John. John was a skeptic, and he even had certain doubts about his own judgments. Perhaps because of this, John did not judge and miss the case.

Liang Xi obviously has some subjective preconceived ideas, but fortunately he can verify them. He believes that the moon is square, and he will find ways to verify that his idea is right, and he will not give up until he cannot verify it.

The manager said: "The most surprising thing is probably the person I haven't seen for six years. He returned to his hometown from London three months ago. He came to attend the funeral of his aunt."

Liang Xi was speechless.

"That's not right." The police officer smiled and said, "The most annoying thing is probably the police who came to the town for business half a month ago."

Don't stop taking last hits, Kelante asked: "Did anyone mention the monastery?"

The manager replied: "I grew up locally and have heard countless legends about the monastery since I was a child. The most classic legend is that there is a devil's door in the monastery. This door is invisible to ordinary people. Only those who are desperate enough to want to make a deal with the devil can see it.

In the early morning, a desperate person can summon the devil and trade his body and soul. After the transaction is completed, the devil will completely occupy his body, occupy the monastery and attack everyone who comes close to the monastery. The devil will not leave the world until Christmas.

Back to hell, waiting for the next deal.”

Modo raised his hand to interrupt the manager and looked at the police officer: "The manager thinks that the most recent person is a person from three months ago, and you think that the most recent person is a police colleague from half a month ago. According to my understanding of the British judicial system, unless

If a serious case occurs in a small town, otherwise the higher authorities will not send anyone to the small town." If a resident complains about the police, the superior police superintendent of the police station or the Internal Affairs Bureau will decide which department to send to the small town based on the report. Under normal circumstances

There would be no police coming to the town. After listening to the two men answer many questions and introduce many legends and stories, this was the only thing that made Modo feel unconventional.

The police officer replied: "A pair of male and female plainclothes detectives, they know about a man who was born in a small town. I heard from the old police officer that the man went to London when he was ten years old and rarely comes back every few years."

"What is your name?"

The police officer recalled for a while and looked at the manager: "What is the name of the bald cousin in the processing factory?"

The manager suddenly said: "You are talking about him, his name is Cook, he is my elementary school classmate. He went to London with his parents very early."

"Cook?" Liang Xi thought the name looked familiar, so he took out his cell phone and asked, "What's the name of the policeman? Which department is he from?"

The police officer replied: "Central District Criminal Investigation Department, my name is Betty."

Liang Xi made a call: "Betty, you were looking for someone from Cook, who was he...fuck, is it him? Contact me again, contact me again..."

Liang Xi hung up the phone and looked at everyone: "The fugitives of Operation Blood Dawn once received help from a person, who was killed by gangsters. The police dispatched police forces from two cities, and the gangsters mobilized a large number of mercenary killers in order to find the fugitive.

By."

Kelant is a British man and knows about this: "You mean the Montenegrin financial lord is hiding in the monastery? He attacked the girls and killed George? Didn't you say that he has fled the UK?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "No one can provide evidence to prove that the funder left the UK. I calculated the time. The Bloody Dawn operation was eighteen days ago, the funder was helped to hide seventeen days ago, and Cook helped the funder that night.

Died at the hands of gangsters. The police comprehensively investigated Cook’s information and conducted a comprehensive investigation of all the people and places Cook may have come into contact with. Did Betty take anyone somewhere?”

The police officer immediately became very nervous. After hearing Liang Xi's question, he replied: "I went outside the town and there was that thing! What the hell."

Modo: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, speak slowly."

The policeman paused and spoke: "There used to be a beekeeping farm in the suburbs, which was the supplier of honey raw materials for the processing factory. The old couple passed away five years ago. The old man seems to be related to the bald head."

Liang Xi called and learned from Betty that Cook's grandparents were keeping bees in the suburbs and there was a house there. They investigated the house and believed that no one lived in the house. They also questioned Cook's cousin.

Understood, my cousin was not good at words and took them directly to his home. My cousin saw no strangers or outsiders in the neighbors, so the investigation ended.

At that time, the police force was tense, and the investigation of Cook was handed over to three criminal investigation departments. After three days of investigation, the funder was not found at the location related to Cook.

Modo looked at Liang Xi: "Can you connect things together?"

Liang Xi nodded: "The donor took a few supplies and hid them in the monastery. Cook told the donor that he could go to his grandparents' house regularly to get daily necessities. Cook may have contacted his bald cousin or others and asked them to help him

Regularly replenishing food supplies to the grandparents’ house. The donor did not dare to show up during the day. After his cousin replenished daily necessities regularly, the donor went to Cook’s grandparents’ house at night, packed food and some items and returned to the monastery.”

Liang Xidao: "I didn't expect that that night he met a girl who wanted to elope. I can't speculate on what he did to the girl, but he temporarily hid at Cook's grandparents' house. After the police investigation of the girl's disappearance was completed, he started the same life again

.Until George cheated and went to the monastery first and met him."

Modo said: "The girl disappeared eight days ago. Where did she go?"

Liang Xidao: "Could it be that he was imprisoned in his grandparents' house? Or was he killed and hidden somewhere?"
