"Let everyone keep a close eye and don't let go of any suspicious person." The man in the hat looked at the man in the suit who was drinking coffee and said.
"Okay, sir, we will pay attention." The man in the suit said.
Goring Hotel
Just when Chu Long was leisurely browsing the Catholic version of the Bible, the sound of palms hitting each other came from beside him. Chu Long looked at Corporal Lin and asked: "What happened?"
"Found it, elimination method." Corporal Lin En looked at Chu Long and said loudly.
"Has it been cracked? It's very fast!" Chu Long said.
"Yeah! I didn't expect that the elimination method was actually very simple, but it made me think complicated." Corporal Linn picked up the slightly cold black tea on the table and said.
"Tell me about it!"
"I initially thought it would be a combination of each group of numbers, but then I found that there were too many combinations and there was no pattern at all, so I gave up."
"I looked at the three groups of numbers for a long time, and found that many of the numbers in the groups were repeated, so I tried to eliminate them."
"Excluding the recurring numbers, all that's left is: 17,5," Corporal Lynn said.
"The question now is what do those two letters stand for?" Corporal Lynn said.
"According to the speculation in the store yesterday, it is related to the bank." Chu Long said.
"bank?"
"Well! Yesterday's report said that after John returned to London to mourn his deceased wife, the ruby necklace disappeared. Such a precious gem necklace cannot be placed casually, so what is the safest place?"
"bank."
"Only public savings banks established by this kind of country are the safest. At this stage, various countries attach great importance to the protection of capital operating institutions such as banks." Chu Long expressed his analysis.
"You're right, there's no safer place than a bank."
"I'm now arranging for someone to go to the bank where John often goes." Corporal Linn said and was about to make a call.
"Wait! It's not the bank he often goes to. It would be too easy to be discovered." Chu Long stopped Corporal Lin En who was about to leave.
"Which bank is that?" Corporal Lynn asked.
"The report yesterday said that John is a very nostalgic person who loves collecting and old things."
"I saw it. Does that have anything to do with which bank?"
"Yes, Barclaine Bank is the oldest bank in London. Its more than 300 years of history are enough to allow its customers to deposit with confidence," Chu Long said.
"In terms of ancient times, the Bank of England is only a few years behind Barclays Bank!" Corporal Lynn said puzzledly.
"Corporal, you are wrong. The Bank of England is equally old, but it is limited to the United Kingdom. Barclays Bank can withdraw money in many countries in the world."
"I see."
"But Barclain Bank is not easy to investigate! I have no right to investigate!" Corporal Linn said to Chu Long.
"Corporal, the numbers you solved will help you." Chu Long glanced at the note on the table and said.
Corporal Linn looked at the note on the table that was used to analyze the numbers written on the whole paper. After thinking about it, he said to Chu Long: "I will arrange for someone to go to Barclays Bank now."
After Corporal Lin said goodbye to Chu Long, he picked up the note on the table and left the room.
After Corporal Lin En left, Chu Long flipped through several scattered Bibles on the table and placed them in a corner of the table without any new discoveries.
…
Time is like light, slipping quietly through the fingers, unable to be grasped. Unknowingly, a week has passed between the rising and setting of the sun. For the people of London, this week is no different from usual.
Strange. But for Corporal Lin En and Chu Long, it was indeed much more exciting than usual.
First of all, Corporal Lynn did find the ruby necklace at the Barclaine Bank that Chu Long said. However, the necklace cannot be taken away with only the verification code. Another token is needed that only John knows. There are only two items.
You have to work together to open the bank safe and take out the necklace.
However, after Corporal Lin En exposed his true identity, he made unreasonable demands to the bank, asking the bank to set up a trap with them. When the mysterious murderer entered the bank and searched for the gem necklace, he reported it to them so that he could be caught more quickly.
Catch criminals.
The people arranged by Corporal Lin En are guarding the hospital every day. Not to mention what Chu Long said, there have been quite a few people around Butts Hospital in the past two days who are not looking for medical treatment and are staring at the hospital.
However, in the past seven days, they have been in a wait-and-see state. These people can be seen from the front door to the side door. Without conclusive evidence, those people sent to the hospital by Corporal Linn did not rashly expose themselves.
Follow these people secretly and learn who they come in contact with every day, what time they go home, and so on!
However, compared to Corporal Linn's side, which is full of information and lively, Inspector Upton's side is relatively deserted. After a week, whether it is the police officers who are visible or the police officers who are hidden under makeup,
Almost nothing was found.
Why almost?
In fact, there were still discoveries, but they had nothing to do with John. Two nurses were caught stealing hospital medicines, and a pair of doctors and nurses having an affair were discovered by police officers who were secretly patrolling in an empty ward. Originally, this kind of thing was not allowed.
It was under the control of the police, but the wife of the male protagonist who was having an affair was the husband of a female inspector under Inspector Upton. This matter spread and became a daily topic of conversation for many police officers.
Apart from this, nothing was discovered this whole week, which made Inspector Upton quite depressed. Not only was there no news from the hospital, but even the police officers sent out to investigate basically found nothing.
Why is it called basic?
Some clues were found in the hat shop next to John's shop, but they were of little use. A lot of domestic garbage from recent days was found in the bathroom on the first floor of the hat shop, but the shop owner had obviously been gone for less than half a month. The second floor
There were a lot of cigarette ashes and cigarette butts scattered on the floor and windowsill near the windowsill. It was not surprising that there were cigarette ashes in the first place, but the reason was that there were too many cigarette ashes scattered, and the cigarette butts were thrown everywhere as if they were not their own home.
The patrolling police officers also found a lot of uneaten food discarded on the ground in the innermost part of the first floor, which is equivalent to John's kitchen. Originally, it wouldn't be that noticeable if this was the kitchen, but the key is that this is where hats are stored.
Storage room!
The discovery of the hat shop made Inspector Upton feel like he had gone from hell to heaven and back to hell again. At first, when he heard about the discovery, he ran to the hat shop excitedly, but after seeing the garbage upstairs and downstairs,
, so he went to see Corporal Lin En for a drink in frustration.
The main reason was that when Inspector Upton searched the hat shop, the building was already deserted. He saw no one and saw a pile of garbage left by the murderer. As you can imagine, his mood was not much better!
It's like being ridiculed by a murderer, which makes people feel very annoyed.
After Corporal Lin En told Chu Long these things, Chu Long was very sympathetic to Inspector Upton's experience and analyzed the current development of biotechnology based on the information from other worlds in his memory. If another twenty or thirty years pass,
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can almost be developed into the legal field. In that case, the large amount of DNA in the hat shop will be useful, but now it can only be garbage.
