The leader of the gang investigation team is named George Harris. He is a sturdy Welsh man with a high nose, beard, and tendons. Xing Ze judged that he was about thirty-seven or eighty-year-old, and he was in his prime.
Judging from the content on the movable whiteboard, Harris should be introducing the Old Record Gang to the superintendent and the three people from the Criminal Investigation Division.
"Is that you?" Harris asked Xing Ze, "killed the hammer and the big shoe with your bare hands."
Xing Ze frowned and asked, "Who?"
"Those two people you killed in the elevator, detective." He was answered by a police officer wearing a British flag on his head.
Xing Ze remembered that his name was Brett, and he was Harris' deputy, "Yes."
Brett whistled, with a playful expression on his face, "How did you do that, Agent? You look like..."
"So weak?" Xing Ze completed what he wanted to say.
"Well, I originally meant to say skinny." Brett turned his head away in embarrassment.
Superintendent Rayburn interrupted: "Okay, let's get back to the point. Go on, Harris."
Xing Ze walked up to Ruiben, and while listening to Harris' introduction, he asked in a low voice: "Where is the drunkard I was with?"
"Oh, he said he needed to find a bar to sober up." Ribbon replied, "I gave him the address of a good bar."
"Of course." Xing Ze looked like he was asking why.
"I hope you don't mind if I give you Hu Zhi's identity."
"A good disguise." Xing Ze said, "But if people here investigate me..."
Ribbon scanned the people in the room and replied: "Don't worry. Burke will arrange everything. You are not our first special investigator."
Xing Ze nodded and listened to Harris' introduction with rapt attention.
The Old Record Gang is a gang organization located in the cultural district of Liverpool. On the surface, they operate red wine, but secretly they have been smuggling arms and collecting protection fees. There is also uncertain intelligence that they are trafficking in people.
After the last investigation, Xing Ze has always been very keen on human trafficking. He secretly noted the location of the Old Record Gang winery.
After Harris finished speaking, Brett continued: "We can start with Hammer and Bigfoot. They are also middle-level personnel and should be able to dig out a lot of things."
"Then keep digging." said Franklin, the head of the Criminal Investigation Division. "We have surveillance video of these two guys attacking Agent Li. This is enough to lock them up for a while."
Xing Ze was not very interested in the police's investigation plan. After listening casually for a while, he found an excuse and walked out, followed by Ruiben.
"Tell me, Superintendent, what you found in Frank's office."
"Let's go to the office to talk." The superintendent took the lead and walked forward.
Arriving at the office, Ruiben closed the door and said: "I have never seen such a strange case, although I have cooperated with wizards before. But... I found claw marks in that room, and I believe you must have seen them too.
.”
Xing Ze nodded.
"Is it left behind by those magical creatures? If so, it must be huge."
"Not sure yet. Any fingerprints available?"
"The forensics department is still analyzing it, but don't hold out too much hope. We found Frank's gun and slid it under the sofa."
This made Xing Ze even more certain that the attacker attacked from behind, "Have you checked the windows? I remember there is a safety staircase there."
"It has been checked." Ruiben replied with a solemn expression. "All the windows are closed. The murderer can only enter through the front door, or he may have been hiding inside before."
Xing Ze more recognized the latter, but the entire office was not big and there was no suitable hiding place. It was obvious that the murderer had used some tricks.
"Where's Frank's house? Have you been there?"
"I have been there, but there are no useful clues. His home has also been broken into. I have sent police officers to inquire around to see if anyone has noticed the intruder."
Speaking of this, Ruiben showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, Superintendent."
"I know I have no right to know this question, but I still want to ask Frank what else to help you investigate? Knowing some key clues will be very helpful to our investigation."
"A book." Xing Ze had no intention of hiding this. As he said before, he needed to keep some trump cards to negotiate with the police, and now it was time to play one.
"Book?"
"Yes, an ancient and precious book. You can think of it like Shakespeare's manuscript."
"Oh God." Ruiben said with emotion, "This is a priceless thing. No wonder Frank is so attentive."
"I have a question too, Superintendent."
"Please tell me."
"Are you familiar with Frank? Well, let me rephrase it. Does he come to the police station often?"
As a former detective, Xing Ze clearly knows that those in this field must have a good relationship with the police, so that you can obtain more useful clues and information. Sometimes these clues are the key to solving a case.
Ribbon smiled and said: "I have only met him a few times. Generally speaking, Frank handles some serious cases, and he is very familiar with the people in the Criminal Investigation Division. He rarely handles tasks like finding books.
"
"How are others?"
"to be honest?"
"Of course, Superintendent. We are investigating the case."
"Very capable, somewhat narcissistic, and likes to brag, but he does have the ability to brag. This guy once found out about Red Hand Chris. You probably haven't heard of that case."
"I've heard of a serial killer who likes to leave fingerprints on crime scenes with his victims' blood and hands," Xing Ze said.
His answer surprised Ribbon, "I thought wizards wouldn't be too interested in our affairs."
"Usually that's true." Xing Ze replied, "But that case is too famous, and we also have newspapers there that will report on your story."
"Okay, I digress. All in all, Frank's investigative skills are pretty good. If you want to know more about him, you can go to the Criminal Investigation Division and ask. Remember Yellante?"
A man with a stern expression appeared in Xing Ze's mind, "I remember."
"As far as I know, he has a good relationship with Frank. They worked together on a major case. You can talk to him."
"I will. SUE."
"What?"
"Have you ever heard of this?"
Ruiben shook his head, "Never. Is it an abbreviation for something?"
"I'm not sure either."
"Will you join us? I mean, about the Old Record Gang."
Xing Ze shook his head, "I have other things to investigate."
"Okay, I will contact you if there is any news. Oh, by the way, they took the body away, and Burke asked me to tell you."
