Unfortunately, there are no obviously abnormal fund transactions in William Temple's account at the Imperial Bank, and the investigation has once again reached a deadlock.
Rock is not in a hurry. No matter how cunning a fox is, he cannot defeat a good hunter. Rock still believes in the power of the investigation system. Johannesburg in this era may have the strictest urban management system in the world. As long as criminals leave clues, they will be killed.
There is no way to escape the investigation of the police station.
As a result, there was good news in the afternoon. On the second day after Roque went to Pretoria, three Italians checked into a hotel not far from William Temple's home. One of them asked the hotel owner about William.
·Some information about Temple, a woman engaged in a special industry confirmed the news. The Italians did not seem to hide their purpose and discussed William Temple in front of this woman.
The investigation against these three Italians began immediately. The news first came from the train station. The three Italians took the train to Cape Town the day after William Temple's death. This news made many people feel...
Disappointed.
At this time, it has been more than 72 hours since the incident. According to the work efficiency of this era, under normal circumstances, this case can be handled as an open case.
There are many such cases in the police stations of every city.
Only Roque did not give up. After receiving the report, he immediately sent a telegram to Luo Yi, asking Luo Yi to search for the three Italians in Cape Town.
It seems that Roque's current efforts are like finding a needle in a haystack. No one can guarantee whether the three Italians are still in Cape Town. If they have returned to Europe or went to other places from Cape Town, then even if they are the big Luo Jinxian
There is nothing you can do to take action.
What's more, the three Italians are only suspected now, and Rock has no evidence to prove that they murdered William Temple.
Luo Yi's performance did not disappoint Roque.
Cape Town is still bustling at night, and the port area is still a city that never sleeps. It is now also the traditional sphere of influence of the Chinese police. Ever since Roque took over the jurisdiction of the port area, the port area has been controlled by the Chinese police.
From Ke to Anton, and now to Luo Yi, the inspectors responsible for managing the port area are all Chinese.
This has also led to the fact that near the port area, the Chinese now have a very high status. In the past, ocean ships docked in Cape Town. When Chinese crew members wanted to go ashore to have fun, they might not even be allowed to enter the bar. This often led to conflicts between Chinese sailors and bar security guards.
.
This situation will never happen now. All bars in Cape Town are open to Chinese people, and Chinese people will not face any discrimination in bars.
At the corner of the pier, Dirang was still using a gold coin to swindle money. The "tutors" mixed in the crowd have now been replaced by Boers. Their skin color and accent are even more confusing. No one would have thought that Indians would
When he teamed up with the Boers to swindle money, he would never have imagined that there were Chinese policemen on standby in the bar next to him. Although this scam has been going on for several years, Dirang can now earn more than ten or twenty yuan every night.
British pound.
If you think about it carefully, everyone has his own destiny. Four years ago, Roque and Dirang were still partners.
In just four years, Roque is now the Imperial Baron and the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department, while Dijean is still just a patrolman, cheating money on the docks of Cape Town every day. Although Dijean's methods are now very proficient, Lian Luo
Everyone is ashamed of themselves, but there is no longer any comparison between Dirang and Roque.
The Table Mountain Bar is still bustling with people, the air is full of the smell of alcohol, and the four bartenders at the bar are busy non-stop. Don’t underestimate these bartenders, they are the most well-informed people in Cape Town.
Two policemen in police uniforms came to the bar and immediately attracted the attention of the bartender. There were many policemen who came to the Table Mountain bar to spend money, but no one ever wore police uniforms. Because of the relationship between Ada and Roque, there was never any.
The police are looking for trouble, so the bartender has a very nice attitude.
"Officer, would you like a beer? It's free——"
Oak Town has now become a well-known wine producing area. Of course, beer has become one of Oak Town's products. The cold beer at Table Mountain Bar is the best-selling drink in Cape Town in summer. It has pure taste, bright and delicate hops, and the key is the price.
It’s not expensive, so once it was launched, it became popular in Cape Town.
"No Tom, it's still working time -" the police officer showed the police badge on his chest intentionally or unintentionally, and the bartender's attitude immediately corrected: "Have you seen three Italians recently?"
"Of course I have. I see Italians every day. They love drinking and are good at irritating others, but they are not good at doing things." The bartender joked intentionally or unintentionally. Italians are famous for being cute in Europe, and are called
Like the "Sick Man of Europe", the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the favorite target of ridicule among Europeans.
The problem of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was that there were constant internal strife. The structure of this country was very complicated. Because of the succession rights of the Ottoman Sultan, the country was very unstable. Ten years later, it was precisely because of the internal strife in the Austro-Hungarian Empire that the First World War broke out. p>
"Ha, I'm not kidding. There are three Italians from Johannesburg. One is a fat man with a big beard, one is thin and the other is strong. They may have arrived in Cape Town two days ago. Think carefully.
I think they are related to a murder case -" the police patiently reminded. When he heard "Johannesburg", the bartender's attitude finally became serious.
The bartenders at Table Mountain Bar all know that Roque is now the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department. Since the three Italians came from Johannesburg, it must be related to Roque.
"I think I've seen it before - but I don't have any impression -" the bartender recalled carefully, but he really didn't have a deep impression. The bartender saw too many people every day. Although the bartender's memory is good most of the time, it doesn't mean that he has a good memory.
Make sure they remember everyone they meet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
There needs to be more than one bartender: "William, have you seen a fat Italian man with a big beard in the past two days?"
"A fat Italian man with a big beard? Of course I've seen it before. Many people here are -" William didn't take it seriously. When he answered, he was still busy with work.
"Be serious, I'm from Johannesburg -" Tom reminded.
"Oh oh oh, let me think about it - it seems that there is -" William raised his head, and then his eyes immediately opened, because a fat man with a big beard just came to the bar.
"Brother, give me another glass of Cape Town and give me the best memory -" the fat man greeted William in peninsula-flavored English.
"That's right, give me a glass of Cape Town, too. We're going to have a blast tonight -" A thin guy greeted him.
"A cup of depth charges——" A strong guy was silent.
"Okay, wait a moment -" William gave Tom a meaningful look while collecting the money.
The two policemen had disappeared. After a while, before the drinks were mixed, the two policemen returned to the Table Mountain Bar.
"Italian?" The police chief went directly to the fat Italian man with a beard.
"Yes -" The fat man was still calm, but his fingers tapped on the bar very quickly.
"Have you been to Johannesburg a few days ago?" the police chief continued to ask.
"No, we have never been to Johannesburg -" the fat man denied directly, then stood up and wanted to leave: "Forget it, stop drinking, give my wine to the police officer -"
"Wait!" The sergeant put his hand on the fat man's shoulder and pushed the fat man back onto the stool.
At this time, the fat man suddenly grabbed the Sheriff's wrist with his backhand, preparing to control the Sheriff.
The sergeant reacted quickly, using one hand to pull the fat man off the chair and push him to the ground.
Someone suddenly shouted in the bar, and several customers at the bar quickly evaded it. Police arrests are not common in bars, but fights are very common, so everyone is already used to it. p>
"Don't move!"
"Warning, keep your hands where I can see them, or I'll shoot!"
More than a dozen police officers suddenly swarmed in, and the shiny black Webley revolvers were breathtaking. Only then did others realize what had happened. The band immediately stopped playing, and the whole bar was silent. This was indeed rare in Table Mountain bars.
This scene.
The strong man's hands had already reached into his clothes, and then he slowly took them out with a livid face.
"What's going on?" Only then did the thin guy react.
"Don't move. You have been arrested. We suspect that you are related to a case. Now you come back to the police station with us for investigation -" Luo Yi only appeared at this time. Before he could finish his words, more than a dozen policemen swarmed up and pulled the three Italians away.
The man was handcuffed and three revolvers were immediately found.
"We didn't do anything!" The fat man was still insisting.
"I didn't say it was you who did it. You are just suspicious. Now follow me back to the police station. If you didn't commit any crime, I will naturally let you go." Luo Yi is welcome. It's not up to them to decide whether he committed a crime or not. p>
Seeing the police taking the three people away, Luo Yi did not see Ada come forward.
After receiving Rock's telegram, Luo Yi came to Table Mountain many times, hoping to meet Ada, but he never met him. It was as if Ada had not returned to Cape Town and no one had seen him.
Pass her.
Back at the police station, Luo Yi did not rush to interrogate the three Italians, but instead sent a telegram to Roque first.
"Caught? Very good, let Luo Yi interrogate him on the spot, and don't have to send him back -" Roque doesn't want people, he just wants results. It's more than a thousand kilometers from Johannesburg to Cape Town. God knows what else will happen on the road.
Therefore, it is better to interrogate the case on the spot. It would be good if the case can be concluded smoothly. Even if the case cannot be concluded smoothly, there is no need for Roque to wipe Luo Yi's ass.
The result was quite good. On the day they were arrested at the Cape Town Police Station, the three Italians revealed that they had indeed murdered William Temple.
