Chapter 637 Assassination
Bobby curiously asked: "What's the bug?"
Liang Xi shook his head, took out his mobile phone and dialed Hannah's number. Being able to directly dial Hannah's number also showed that Liang Xi had a certain status.
"Hello." Hannah's tone was calm. Listening to the piano sound in the background, she should be in a restaurant or hotel lobby: "You must have something to call me, right?" Subtext: Tell the matter directly.
Liang Xidao: "I think someone wants to kill you."
"Kill me?" Hannah looked around at her bodyguards and slowly took a few sips of borscht: "Liang Xi, do you know what rules are and what rules are?"
"Rules are to bind everyone, and rules are to require most people to obey the provisions specified by a few. The former is civilized, and the latter is a hooligan." In theory, the law is a rule. If some people can not abide by the law, they will not be punished.
Punishment, laws are just rules.
Hannah said: "The contradiction on the surface can be discussed. If assassination is used to solve the problem, it is equivalent to breaking the basic rules. Even if I die, the instigator will face a storm of revenge and will not be protected and protected by others.
understand."
Liang Xidao: "I'm not talking about the eldest son of the earl."
"oh?"
Liang Xidao: "Look, when I mentioned assassination, you immediately thought of the Earl's eldest son. After you were killed, everyone would think of the Earl's eldest son. The Earl's eldest son became a serious rule-breaker in your circle."
Hannah said: "I seem to know who you are talking about."
Liang Xidao: "I just listened to Bobby's explanation. I'm not sure whether he described it accurately. I don't think Coster is a good man. He actually came forward to mediate the conflict between you and the Earl's eldest son during the recess, which surprised me a bit.
.According to his position, he should sit back and watch, waiting for opportunities. I think he himself does not like the current situation of having to join a camp. Based on my analysis of Coster’s background, he prefers to create a camp and let others
Join this camp."
Hannah was silent for a moment: "As long as a killer attacks me, no matter whether I am dead or alive, the debt will be settled on the Earl's eldest son."
Liang Xi said: "It is more likely that the killers thought that the Earl's eldest son hired him. After such an arrangement, the killer attacked, and Coster bravely caught the killer. The killer admitted that he was entrusted by the Earl's eldest son. The first possibility is that you are dead, Earl.
The eldest son retired, was hunted down by the Cove family, and finally died. The second possibility is that you did not die. Even if you knew that it was Coster's plan, you would still use it to depose the Earl's eldest son and let him leave the Blood Moon."
I don't know if Hannah is smiling. Liang Xi can hear the laughter, and it can be imagined that it is a small voice without a smile. Hannah said: "Should you call me first, or the eldest son of the count first?"
Liang Xi said: "It's a pity that I don't have the phone number of the earl's eldest son." Hannah's words were heartbreaking because Liang Xi raised the second possibility, which exposed the possibility that Hannah had prepared in advance and used the trick. Under certain circumstances,
It can be said that Liang Xi was not part of Hannah's group, so Hannah asked Liang Xi who to call first. Liang Xi's attitude showed that he was more familiar with Hannah.
Hannah was a little curious: "What is your position as an outsider?"
Liang Xidao: "As a distinguished guest of Blood Moon, I hope that Blood Moon will be stabilized as soon as possible, whether it is Yiyantang or the elder system. Blood Moon has just experienced a series of hardships, and all the elders in the Presbyterian Council are new elders. In this case, there are still new elders.
If there is another round of killings, it will be a disaster for Blood Moon."
Hannah said: "You didn't tell the truth."
Liang Xi replied: "Maybe I just don't want the Swedes to benefit from it."
Hannah said: "I think what you said makes sense, and I personally appreciate it. Now I have two options. One option is to talk to Coster directly. If necessary, I can ask the Earl's eldest son to participate in the conversation and explain what may happen.
Nip it in the bud. There is another option. You and I both pretend that we didn’t have this phone call and let what might happen happen.”
Liang Xi was surprised: "For the second option, you must remain calm. Even if you are prepared, you don't know whether the killer will come or how he will come. Do you want to gamble with your life?"
Hannah said: "Without Hannah, the Kofu family still has Donna and Song Na. Without the blood moon, Hannah would not be able to stand at the highest position in the Kofu family. The key question now is not what I want to choose, but what will you do?"
How to choose."
"Frankly speaking, I am a detective. After I think of a possibility, I hope it can be verified. No, I'm sorry, I don't like that an idea and phone call of mine lead to a conspiracy." Liang Xi said: "I
I can't watch you take risks, so the choice should be: you handle this matter, or I end it."
Hannah's laughter came again, but there was no emotion in it: "Okay, I'll handle it. You don't need to say sorry, I should express my sincere gratitude to you."
"You're welcome, goodbye." You guys are fooling around. When can the blood moon invitation be held? If the blood moon invitation is not held, how can you get the blood moon information? If you don't get the blood moon information, how can you pretend to be a rose and sow discord? Damn it.
Even before the plan started, I was trying my best to fix the leaks. It was really a failure.
Bobby stared at Liang Xi and hung up the phone: "You have a conspiracy."
"Why?"
"Because I can't think of a reason why you warned Hannah to be careful."
Liang Xi shrugged his shoulders: "In my opinion, Hannah is just a strong person, not a bad person."
"Haha, it's just that her hands look clean." Poppy said: "At least compared to Gu Lao, it is like this. You said that Hannah's powerful people represent the market, and the Gu Lao Gui killer represents the people who serve the market. What exactly is the emergence of the market?
Because Hannah is still a killer?"
Liang Xidao: "I want to eat fish. The fishmonger makes money, so he sells fish."
Poppy said: "You want to eat fish, but you can't buy fish in the market, you can also choose to eat meat. Could it be that the fishmonger entered the market first, and everyone knew that there was fish in the market, so they went to buy fish if they wanted to eat it?"
Liang Xidao: "What you said is very interesting. You and I are enemies. If I only have fists, I won't use them when I meet you on the road because I know that I can't take advantage and will be pursued by the law."
You are responsible for watching my jokes from behind. But if I have lethal weapons, I may attack you, because I know that there is no death penalty in the UK and the prison environment is good. And if you are gone, your wife will remarry, and you
The child will live a miserable life. Therefore, the key point is not whether I dare to take action, but that I lack the appropriate weapons." The killer is just a tool, a deadly weapon.
Bobby said: "Could it be that you didn't deliberately look for a weapon? The difference is: you had to kill me, so you looked for a weapon, and then killed me. You didn't think of killing me specifically, but you accidentally came into contact with the weapon
Finally, you have the idea."
Liang Xidao: "So, do weapons kill people, or do people kill people?"
Bobby said: "I think almost everyone's answer is that people kill people, and weapons are just weapons. But in fact, if there were no weapons, you wouldn't kill me. We all only have fists that can't kill each other."
Liang Xidao: "Go a little deeper, what if we all have weapons? Is it as equal as having fists?"
"No, no, it's completely different. When there are weapons, you must strike first. So the weapon is the inducement to kill?"
Liang Xi spread his hands: "I don't know, ants are imprisoned in their own world and cannot understand the rules of human thinking. Similarly, humans are imprisoned in their own world and cannot understand the rules of the universe."
Liang Xi's words revealed the most complicated situation currently facing the top management of Blood Moon. The three bosses all want to be in the position, and they don't seem to reject cooperation. The key question is who will bow to whom first.
…
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, not long after Liang Xi arrived at the detective agency, he made tea and watched the video of ships on the sea in Brighton. Less than a minute after watching, the phone rang. Liang Xi looked at the number. It was an unfamiliar number: "Hello?"
"Hello Mr. Liang, I am the head of the Blood Moon management team, you can call me Lao Du." Lao Du said: "As an outsider, you should not participate in high-level affairs, but the senior management of Blood Moon has been too unstable recently, resulting in many
Customers have doubts about Blood Moon's credibility, making our work unsustainable."
Liang Xi asked: "What is the specific matter?"
Lao Du said: "At seven o'clock this morning, the earl's eldest son was shot through the left chest by a crossbow while doing Tai Chi in the backyard. He is currently in the operating room of Brighton Hospital. His life and death are unknown. The Brighton police have intervened in this case to investigate. I hope Mr. Liang
You can participate in this survey."
Liang Xi said: "I'm sorry, I can't intervene in the case involving the police, otherwise it will obstruct justice." The count's eldest son was shot and killed, which is a bit nonsense. Liang Xi thought of the possibility of Hannah being attacked, and even Coster, but he just didn't think about it.
The eldest son of an earl would be attacked. Was he shot in the chest by a crossbow in his own back garden? Liang had been attacked in the earl's castle. It took 20 minutes to drive from the castle to the nearest hospital, and it took 10 minutes to be immediately sent to the hospital by helicopter. Even if the crossbow arrow did not hit the heart
, the count's eldest son is also in trouble.
Is it a bitter meat tactic? There is no such thing as a bitter meat tactic. Under the same conditions, because of differences in people's will and physique, some people can survive and some cannot survive. It is difficult to accurately obtain the dividing line between life and death by calculation. Why use crossbow arrows? Crossbow arrows have more advantages than pistols.
There are several major advantages. The first advantage is quietness. Of course, modern silencers make this advantage of crossbows disappear. The second advantage is kinetic energy. Some netizens have done tests and used an Arthur max225 crossbow to shoot through body armor at a distance of 100 meters. This
Range pistols cannot do this, and some 7.62mm bullet rifles cannot penetrate. The third advantage is that it is safer to use crossbows in flammable and explosive places.
The fourth advantage is the most vicious advantage of crossbows. They require almost no training. Netizens invited 30 volunteers who had never been exposed to pistols and crossbows and asked them to undergo basic training. The goal was to hit a can 30 meters away. The final result
After 5 minutes of training in using the pistol, 30 people fired a total of 90 crossbow arrows, 40 of which hit the can. After 5 minutes of training in using the pistol, 30 people fired 90 bullets, and only 10 of them hit the can.
Of course, this test has a flaw. The crossbow has a basic sight, and about 30 meters is the perfect shooting range for the crossbow. The pistol only relies on the crossbow to assist aiming, so the data is ugly. But it is undeniable that after a short period of training, an ordinary person can
You can become a shooter.
The most important advantage is that many compound crossbows can be disassembled, and few people will pay attention to the crossbow components. On the contrary, people will recognize the firearms at a glance when they are disassembled into parts.
Lao Du gave an outline of the case, and Liang Xi had already thought of the characteristics of the crossbow. His first reaction was: Is it a tactic? After ruling out the tactic, Liang Xi's second question: Why use a crossbow? Compared with
Pistols, rifles, and crossbows have some features and advantages, but their disadvantages are very obvious.
Lao Du didn't say much, and hung up the phone if he was bothered. He knew one thing, the police detectives in Brighton were incomparable with the London police. Brighton's total population was less than 150,000, while London's was nearly 10 million.
People and population data show that London far exceeds Brighton in terms of the total number of cases that occur every day. If the case is not complicated, Brighton can solve the case. If the case is complicated, Brighton will inevitably turn to Scotland Yard, that is, London
The Metropolitan Police is asking for help. The most famous detective in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department is none other than Romeo. When the Earl's eldest son is attacked, the best detective must be sent. Since this case may involve a blood moon, Romeo will always be involved in the blood moon case.
I will definitely invite Liang Xi to the meeting, so this phone call is just to communicate with Liang Xi.
It is obvious that the management team headed by Lao Du has become impatient and disgusted with the high-level turmoil of Blood Moon. They hope to end it all as soon as possible, no matter what price they pay during the period. No matter who lives or dies, they don't care, they just want stability.
Lao Du's call made Liang Xi unable to concentrate on watching all kinds of boring videos, because no one did the preliminary screening. Liang Xi had to watch the videos shot by ten cameras, ranging in length from 3 to 8 hours. Although the data can be compressed
into very small units, but the human brain's ability to process information has not improved with the development of science and technology.
If Liang Xi's memory is correct, there is no fence in the backyard of the Earl's Castle. It is replaced by a sloping grassland at an angle of about 25-30 degrees. Trees and some bushes are planted in the grass. The Earl's Castle is built on a high place, with roads surrounding it. The roads in the backyard
It is a must-pass on the way to the Earl's Castle. There is a streetlight every 50 meters on Liang Ximei Road, and monitors are installed on the road section, but there are also blind spots.
How did the murderer leave the manor and castle during the day? Suppose the murderer climbed up the road and hid in the bushes, waiting for the Earl's eldest son to approach the slope and shoot. There must have been someone around the Earl's eldest son when he fell. How did the murderer escape? He would have been arrested while driving.
Photographed by surveillance cameras, anyone walking in broad daylight will spot you at a glance.
It has been three hours since the count's eldest son was attacked. I heard from Lao Du that the police had not arrested anyone at the scene and had not obtained strong clues, otherwise Lao Du would not have called him. The problem was basically clear. Everyone thought that the murderer was hiding in the backyard.
Shooting the earl's eldest son on a gentle slope, Liang Xi believed that the murderer should be in the castle.
The most interesting thing about this case is that the count's eldest son was rescued. There is a difference between a living person and a corpse. Forensic personnel can determine the location of the crossbow shooter through autopsy, and doctors will not care so much when rescuing. It is just like a firefighter putting out a fire.
, they don’t think about destroying the scene, they think about putting out the fire as soon as possible.
Professional murderer: deliberately avoiding vital points to avoid death at the scene.
Non-professional murderer: Missed the vital part and cursed the neighbor.
After the earl's eldest son fell to the ground, everyone came forward to check, and people from a distance would rush over after hearing the sound. If these people did not find strangers in the process, then it is basically certain that the crossbow arrows were shot from the hands of an acquaintance in the castle.
