After Irving came out of the Palace Hotel, he hailed a taxi and rushed to the Green Leaf Hotel again.
Kem was rescued in time. Now Brian and Lenore are missing. Their phone calls are all unreachable. They must have been captured by the Albanians. Owen must find a way to find Brian and rescue them.
The only clue now is the Albanian in the Green Leaf Hotel. Although those three people are dead, there must be other clues. Their mobile phones and their vehicles may be clues to find the Albanian's location.
The car quickly arrived at the hotel, and Owen got out of the car far away. There were already many people gathered outside the hotel. It is human nature to watch the excitement, and it is the same all over the world.
Irving squeezed into the crowd and got closer to the inside. Although there was no cordon yet, there were already police officers maintaining order and preventing the onlookers from getting too close.
"When the incident happened, did you notice any suspicious people nearby..."
A plainclothes police detective was talking to passers-by about the situation. Owen saw half of his ID showing in his pocket, and pretended to walk by casually. By the time they passed by, the ID was already in Owen's hand.
Owen squeezed out of the crowd, then re-entered in a farther direction. The low-level police officer responsible for maintaining order was about to stop him. Owen raised the ID in his hand. After the police officer saw it, he stopped his movement and raised his hand to let him go.
.
Irving walked into the hotel lobby in a swagger. The stalker whose neck was broken by Irving had been found on the sofa. The forensic doctor was taking pictures, and there was an evidence tag with the number written next to him.
Exhibit No. 4 was the guy’s cell phone, but in full view of everyone, Owen couldn’t get it.
The ambulance hasn't arrived yet, and the body from upstairs hasn't been brought down yet. Owen doesn't dare to go up there yet. There must be police everywhere at this time.
Owen looked around. He was in danger of being exposed every minute he stayed here, but now he didn't have any chance to succeed.
Suddenly, a low-level police officer and a person walked towards him.
"Sir, this man said he was the driver of the guest in Room 1203. The guest in Room 1203 robbed the car and ran away. Then a group of people hijacked him and robbed the couple and the car. They also used guns...
…”
Owen pretended to listen to the description of the junior police officer, but in fact he was secretly observing his expression. Everything seemed to be normal. Like other places, the junior police officer and the senior detective obviously did not know each other, and the other party mistook him for a plainclothes detective.
member.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Owen nodded, and the junior police officer left, not questioning why Owen spoke English instead of Turkish, which is common in the cosmopolitan city of Istanbul.
Owen took the driver to an unnoticed corner.
"Tell me exactly what happened, don't leave out any details..."
The bald driver told the story of the incident in detail. Owen asked emphatically some details, and he soon found something useful.
"You said the car was rented from a car rental company?"
"Yes, all the cars in the hotel have been reserved in advance, so the supervisor asked me to rent one from the car rental company temporarily for emergency use."
"Which company? Where is the company located? What is the license plate number of the car you rented?"
"Uh... Blue Wings Car Rental Service Company is located fifty meters east of the intersection of Parsim South Road and Victor Street. It's easy to find. Let me think about the license plate number, um... 34GT6394..."
Some bald drivers skillfully revealed a string of numbers, and Owen asked again: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, it's not wrong. Part of the license plate number has special meaning to me, so I chose this car specially..."
"Okay, thank you for the clues you provided, please find a place to take a rest first."
Owen sent the balding driver away and walked straight out of the hotel. He just suddenly thought of a direction. Brian and the others were riding in a rented car. The rented car would definitely have a GPS installed on it. Since the other party was not connected,
The car was taken away, so as long as you find the car's location, you will also find Brian's location.
Owen hailed a taxi and went straight to the car rental shop the balding driver had mentioned.
Just at this moment, Brian called.
"Owen, it's me, how about Ken?"
Hearing Brian's voice, Owen suddenly felt relieved. Since he could still make calls, he should be safe.
"Kem is fine. I'll leave her to Beth to take care of for the time being. You don't have to worry about her safety. Beth's suite is protected by two 3A-level personal bodyguards 24 hours a day, and there are 6 peripheral security guards in the corridor outside the suite.
Team, she’s safe…”
Brian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his daughter was safe.
Owen immediately asked: "Where are you now?"
"I don't know. I was captured by them and locked up in a place, but I can rescue myself. Listen, Owen, you still need to do me a favor. Help me rescue Lenore. She was taken away by them.
She left, saying she was taking her to a slum in Turkey. They wanted homeless people to rape her, so you must help me..."
"Okay, Brian, don't worry, I'm going to go to the car rental company to get the GPS track of your car. I will find her, I promise..."
After hanging up the phone, Owen took out a banknote and handed it to the driver: "Here is one hundred dollars. All I have to ask is that you take me there as quickly as you can..."
Looking at Franklin who was so close, the taxi driver shook his head, looking very embarrassed.
Owen took out the second one...
The driver's eyes had changed and he swallowed: "No, sir, the penalties for speeding and running lights in Istanbul are very severe..."
Owen took out the third one...
The driver no longer struggled in his mind: "No problem at all, sir, please fasten your seat belt, we are about to take off..."
Money makes the world go round, this saying is true all over the world.
A few minutes later, the taxi, which ran three red lights in a row, drove 200% over the speed limit, and nearly crashed the car twice, stopped at the intersection of Parsim South Road and Victor Street.
"Here we are, sir."
The driver's eyes were fixed on the three Franklins. Irving threw the money on the center console, got up and got out of the car.
"Sir, will you use the car later? I mean, I can wait for you..."
The driver obviously fell in love with the speed of making money. Owen hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, wait for me, I should leave right away..."
The driver happily stuffed the three Franklins into his pocket. He had really made a lot of money today. Three hundred dollars, even after deducting the fine, was enough.
On the other side, Owen has already joined the car rental company called Blue Wings.
The bell on the door notified the front desk that a new customer had come to the door. The front desk was a young man. Owen scanned for a week and found that there were only a few people in the whole store.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
The young man came up and asked enthusiastically.
Owen took out his police officer ID card and waved it in front of the young man before putting it away, "Hello, I'm Officer Peggy. The Mercedes-Benz car you rented to the Green Leaf Hotel this morning was involved in a murder case. I need to know that Mercedes-Benz car.
This morning’s trajectory…”
Owen has a business-like look and his tone is strictly about investigating the case. There is no need to pretend to do this. He used to be a member of the major crime team, so it is natural for him to say this.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately. At this time, almost all stores would choose to cooperate, "Of course, please come with me."
