Standard Chartered Bank's cash cheques, payable at sight, with the amount column blank, meant that within reason, Matthew Miller had access to enough pounds, which was a pleasant surprise to Mr Miller, who was in a difficult financial situation, and who did not have the opportunity to meet such a generous clientele even in London.

But Matthew didn't put the blank check in his pocket, and his expression didn't even change.

"Miss, I'll send you a bill, we'll get in touch when you've found all the things I need, you have my phone number, miss, sir." The former MI5 agent got up, politely put on his hat and picked up his umbrella.

"I can give you these things right now. Liu Kunlun took out a mobile phone sealed in a plastic bag from his bag, some letters sent to Goodwood, and took a napkin and wrote a few names and handed it over.

Before Wang Haicong was buried, in addition to his favorite piece of Patek Philippe watch to accompany the funeral, other personal belongings were left as relics, including a person's most secret is the mobile phone, his mobile phone is Apple's new 3Gs, memory 32GB, soaked in the North Sea for so long long has long been broken, need to find professional technicians to restore in order to continue to look for clues.

Liu Kunlun wrote the names of Wang Haicong's five closest people, namely Wang Huayun, Lin Haiying, Liu Kunlun, Chao Xiaochuan and celebrity girlfriends.

"Okay, let's get started right away. Old Matthew simply put into work, his car and 007 finally have a little connection, is a 1970 production of Aston Martin DB5 sports car, but also in 1964 007 car standard, birch body, even in London where classic cars everywhere have a high return rate, coupled with an old man to drive, it is a strong Old School style.

This old car also reminded Liu Kunlun and Lin Haiying of Wang Haicong, who collects many antique cars, seems to have such an Aston Martin, and they can't help but feel sad, they drive the same old Rover behind Matthew to see how the former agent investigates the case.

Matthew Miller relied on connections, he had acquaintances in almost every place, first found an IT hardware expert to fix the iPhone, exported the photos and materials inside, then visited Standard Chartered Bank and Wellington Hospital in London, and finally went to Aviva Insurance Company.

Wang Haicong mainly uses Standard Chartered Bank's personal checks and an American Express black centurion card abroad, It is a bit troublesome to print a list of personal expenses, because the person has passed away and needs relevant legal documents to continue, Wellington Hospital is a private hospital, Wang Haicong has a regular medical examination here, and his doctor provided a recent medical examination report, and everything is healthy.

Before going to Aviva's insurance company, Lin Haiying dialed the number on William Baldwin's business card, turned off his mobile phone, and the office phone was unanswered, and came to the insurance company to inquire, and learned that Baldwin did not come to work, and Matthew used a trick to get Baldwin's home address.

Baldwin lives in a high-rise apartment, the three of them go to visit, knock on the door and no one answers, Matthew takes out a card and easily unlocks the bullet lock, walks into the room, and finds Baldwin sitting on the sofa in a strange posture.

Matthew put on a pair of rubber gloves for surgery, put his index and middle fingers on Baldwin's neck artery, shook his head slightly, told them to stand still in the doorway, searched the room himself, and said, "The old man did it, they have taken what they wanted, call the police." ”

The police soon came to the scene, because human lives were involved, the Scotland Yard detective took over the case, and it took time for the autopsy and trace detection, and Liu Kunlun and others cooperated with the police to make a record as the first witnesses to the discovery of the deceased.

Baldwin was the first to question the cause of Wang Haicong's death, and his sudden death was undoubtedly murdered, which made Liu Kunlun and Lin Haiying even more creepy.

"Do you need additional bodyguard services?" Old Matthew is very good at looking for business opportunities, but Liu Kunlun shook his head: "It's best to have a bodyguard yourself, do you have the channel to help me buy a gun?"

Britain is a country with strict gun control, and even Wang Haicong's manor only has a few shotguns, and Liu Kunlun needs a pistol for self-defense, and the old Matthew refuses: "I don't do anything illegal, but I know that everything ......is sold in one place."

Matthew Sr. was talking about a Pakistani-owned thrift store in London's East End, with a negligible façade and a dark and quiet store, with the owner sitting in a corner, shelves full of colonial Indian subcontinent artefacts, and glass counters with old watches that could not be distinguished.

Liu Kunlun made his intentions clear, saying that he was a customer introduced by Old Matthew and wanted to buy a pistol, but the boss stared at him for a while and said that he wanted two thousand pounds and wanted cash.

"I'll give you two thousand five hundred dollars. Liu Kunlun immediately took out a stack of banknotes, the boss counted the banknotes carefully, looked at the watermark on each one, and said Okay, you can go, someone will give you the goods after you go out.

Liu Kunlun believed that this guy would not deceive people, and went out to get in the car, and sure enough, a South Asian-looking child rode by the side of the car and threw an oiled paper bag in.

In the oil paper bag is a gun, a FN M1935 pistol retired by the British Army, with another *, thirty rounds of bulk nine-millimeter bullets, Liu Kunlun opened the chamber to see, the rifling wear is serious, at least tens of thousands of bullets have been fired, but this scrapped thing is the best weapon he can buy, and melee combat actually occurs at a distance of less than five meters or even closer, and the pistol with poor accuracy can hit the target.

In the evening, old Matthew had a treat, eating fried fish and potato sticks from a roadside restaurant in London's East End, and drinking whisky, a single malt whisky from Scotch wrapped in a paper bag, which was strong and flavorful.

Hemingway said never hesitate when faced with the opportunity to kiss beautiful women and drink whiskey. Old Matthew tilted his neck, drank a glass of spirits, and filled another glass, "The wine in the Highlands tastes the strongest, because it produces William Wallace and football hooligans all over the world, and let us respect the unfortunate Mr. William Baldwin." ”

There is no doubt that Baldwin was silenced, and some people did not want the truth of Wang Haicong's death to be exposed, and this poor, young, and inquisitive insurance claims officer paid the price with his life.

The three of them took a solemn drink and got to the point.

Matthew Miller said that Wang Haicong's death was so suspicious that he had no reason to die. Wang Haicong is healthy, no depression, young, promising, harmonious relationship with his family, and no Waterloo in his career, the Wang family has strong financial resources, several investment projects in charge of Wang Haicong himself are in full swing, and there is a beautiful and lovely celebrity girlfriend, why should he die.

"I read the letters, and a month ago he had ordered a Lange & Söhne tourbillon and a new Ferrari. Matthew looked at his shorthand notebook with reading glasses and said, "He still has Swiss skiing arrangements, Arctic Circle expeditions, how can such a wonderful person die?"

But in the early hours of a winter morning, when he should have been sleeping in a warm bed, he suddenly drove a plane to the sky, without notifying anyone and without reporting the route, so he flew over the North Sea, and then planted. ”

Old Matthew turned the page: "Mr. Wang's insurance contract is very large, and the posthumous compensation is 100 million euros, but this is nothing compared to the wealth of the Wang family, so it is impossible to cheat the insurance, since the suicide is not established, then the only explanation is that he killed, combined with Baldwin's killing, this conclusion is very clear." ”

Liu Kunlun and Lin Haiying looked at each other, who would kill Wang Haicong.

"Maybe it's a love killing. Matthew said, "Mr. Wang's girlfriend is a star, and her relationship with Mr. Wang is very well hidden, so maybe maybe her secret relationship with someone else is also well hidden." ”

Lin Haiying couldn't help but retort: "Then you don't have to kill people." ”

"Kill or not, lies in Mr. Wang's love rival, when male animals compete for females, they are the most ferocious, cunning and terrifying, this person is inferior to Mr. Wang in all aspects, so only by getting rid of him, can you get what you want, forgive me for being too imaginative, in fact, many cases have no logic at all, and it is precisely because of absurdity that it is more difficult to detect, but we can try it, I guess this murderer must still be in the United Kingdom, or even in London. Matthew said it whimsically, and the two of them thought it was ridiculous.

After the meal, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Kunlun took Lin Haiying to leave first, and the old Matthew slowly swallowed his Aston Martin, and as soon as he started, a black man wearing a hoodie came over.

"Hey, this car is really good. The black man said.

"Yes. "Old Matthew is holding a 7.65 caliber PPK against the car door in his left hand, and as long as the other party shows the slightest hint of robbery, he will open two holes in the car door and the other party.

Fortunately, the black man just said hello, and the old Matthew continued to drive, and after driving a distance, he noticed that someone was following, and it was two cars alternately, and he stared very professionally, but he couldn't hide it from the senior agent.

He silently jotted down his license plate, and instead of returning to his home, he drove the car to the South Bank of the City near the Parliament Building, next to the headquarters of MI5 --- Thames Building, where he used to work.

The stalker probably understands the cost of killing a former MI5 agent and the retribution it faces, and retreats.

……

Matthew Miller was busy for the next three days, and it wasn't until the fourth day that he met with his two employers and pulled out a stack of photos in front of them.

The photo was taken with a telephoto lens, and the black-and-white photo clearly shows the moment Wang Haicong's ex-girlfriend entered and exited the hotel and luxury store, and got into the car, and the signboard on the street was in French.

"She used to stay at the Hôtel Napoleon on the Champs-Élysées, an old five-star hotel, right outside the Arc de Triomphe and luxury stores, and the intelligence showed that she stayed here every time she came to Paris, but you see. ”

Matthew pulled out a photo: "This is the Peninsula Paris on Rue Kleber, the two hotels are not far apart, two blocks apart, she stayed at the Peninsula Hotel at night." ”

The word stealing instantly appeared in the minds of the two, and celebrities should pay attention to public influence and will not easily announce their relationship, especially when the other party's identity is sensitive.

"What's even more interesting is that I saw DGSI people in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel. Seeing that the two were confused, Matthew explained: "There are many intelligence agencies in France, such as the DGSI, which is the Internal Security Service, as well as the EMS Security Staff, the DCPJ Judicial Police, and the DRPP Intelligence Department of the Paris Police Headquarters. ”

Matthew unfolded the Peninsula's guest registration records for a week, which was obtained by abnormal means, but there did not seem to be anyone with special status on the guest list, such as the Middle Eastern oil prince, the American IT upstart or the rich Chinese high-ranking officials, and the average room rate at the Peninsula was as high as 500 euros per night, which is not what the average tourist can afford to live in.

Liu Kunlun's heart is tightening, it seems that the truth is getting closer and closer, the female star had a private meeting with someone after the funeral, which is enough to illustrate the problem, maybe Wang Haicong really died of murder, a murder carried out by an international killer hired by a lot of money.

Lin Haiying's heart also hung up, and she involuntarily reached out to Liu Kunlun, letting him feel safe to hold it.

Seeing Matthew's calm appearance, Liu Kunlun knew that this old boy was confident, and couldn't help but ask: "Who is it?"

"A mysterious Asian. Matthew took out another photo as if squeezing toothpaste, the person in the photo was very tall, but it didn't cause a sense of oppression, because he was very thin, wearing a hat and a mask and sunglasses, he couldn't see the color of his skin and hair, and the coat on his body was very fashionable, and he couldn't hide it with a star style.

"He didn't register with his passport, it was the assistant who booked the room, the garden suite, three thousand euros a night, stayed for two nights, and has now left Paris, fortunately I have a few old friends at French customs, and they helped me find this person's passport, which is a Canadian passport, and his name is Kris. Lee. ”
