Chapter 86: Sean's Exhortation
"ON BEHALF OF THE LONDON METROPOLITAN POLICE, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE GRATITUDE TO OFFICER HAYASHI FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
With bursts of warm applause from the audience, Lin Xiuyi stood up from his seat and walked towards the rostrum in front of him step by step.
When he stood on the podium, he took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Sir Paul Stephenson, the director of the Metropolitan Police Department who had just spoken, and then the other party handed a certificate to Lin Xiuyi. In recognition of Lin Xiuyi's contribution to the Dover case.
In the past few days, Lin Xiuyi has participated in several activities of the same form. From Washington to Paris, and then from Paris back to London, Lin Xiuyi attended one public event after another, and received one honor after another from the police of various countries and Interpol. Correspondingly, he is recognized and supported by peers from all over the world. Especially in the United States and the United Kingdom, the media even put the name of the Japanese detective on his head.
Lin Xiuyi naturally did not dare to agree with the name of the Japanese detective, but the rich experience he accumulated in the process of eradicating the Black Death organization was lacking in the police of various countries. Therefore, the British police naturally will not miss this opportunity to win over Lin Xiuyi, and Lin Xiuyi has not officially said goodbye to his partners who fought together in the past, so after hesitation, he still accepted the invitation from Scotland Yard and attended this commendation event.
After receiving the appointment letter from Sir Paul Stephenson, Metropolitan Police Inspector-General Sir Paul Stephenson, he became the new expatriate expert at Scotland Yard. This means that he will receive around £100,000 a year in additional income from Scotland Yard. And what he needs to do is to solve the other party's doubts at any time when the Metropolitan Police Department needs relevant consultations. For this job, Lin Xiuyi naturally felt handy. After all, this is not the first time he has served as a consultant. The FBI had previously given him a very high evaluation of his work.
When Lin Xiuyi returned to his seat again. Osborne and Sean, who were sitting next to him, congratulated Lin Xiuyi respectively, while Officer Dusha, a Romanian, and Officer Ivanova, who were sitting at the other table, also raised their wine glasses to salute Lin Xiuyi. This time, because of the Black Death case, everyone involved in the case, including Tanon Songkan, who is still in Thailand, has more or less benefited a lot. This includes both the monetary side and the career side as well. Anyone else's aside, Osborne alone moved from chief inspector to superintendent, and Sean became the second person in the FBI's London office.
"On the weekend, if you have time, I'd like to invite you to my house to see you off before you leave the UK!"
Just as the event was about to end, Osborne suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to Lin Xiu. Lin Xiuyi looked at Osborne with some surprise at first, and then immediately nodded and accepted the other party's invitation.
Although during the initial investigation of the Dover case, Osborne's slow action made Lin Xiuyi feel very dissatisfied, but after Lin Xiuyi locked the direction of the investigation on the Black Death, Osborne's attitude changed 180 degrees, which greatly helped Lin Xiuyi's investigation. In particular, it was Osborne who persuaded Professor Jeffrey to participate in the production of blue ice, which played a crucial role in promoting the detection of the case, so Lin Xiuyi's impression of Osborne also changed greatly. All in all, Osborne, although a bit stubborn, is also a guy worth dating.
When the event was over, Lin Xiuyi did not leave in the car with Miki and the others, but went to a nearby tavern with Sean. Just like when Lin Xiuyi first came to England, the two walked along the banks of the Thames again.
"When will you go back to Japan?"
Sean turned around and asked Lin Xiuyi beside him.
"I've booked a flight the next afternoon, there's nothing I need to do here, I just want to get back to my home early......"
Lin Xiuyi stretched out his arms, and then said quite easily.
"I really don't know what kind of surprise you'll bring me the next time I see you!"
"Surprise, am I any different from the last time you saw me?"
"People haven't changed much, but your ability to solve cases is really getting better and better. Tell you the truth, Lin, when Songkan told you that he had captured Alexander Ulbricht, I couldn't believe my ears at that moment, and you know what it meant in that moment, which meant that thousands of people around the world who had disappeared in this world had returned to their loved ones. This means that criminal organizations that have made a fortune by buying and selling human beings will have long queues to be sent to prison. It means that countless grievances have finally been redressed at this moment. So at that point, when I stood behind you and saw you get up from your chair and raise your hands, I admit I was really a little jealous of you......"
"Okay Sean, what exactly do you want to say?"
Lin Xiuyi asked Sean with some curiosity. He didn't understand why Sean would suddenly say that to him.
"Lin, what I want to say is...... You were born to do this, and I hope you will continue to work in criminal investigation forever, and God knows how many desperate families you have helped with the Black Death case you solved. Tens of thousands of suspects have been notified through Interpol alone. I swear I've never thought I'd be able to solve such a big case in my life. And I also know that you will definitely get a higher position when you go back this time, maybe your life will be smooth sailing, and then you will never have to go to the scene of the crime in person like before, you will have a bigger office, more subordinates, and you will never finish the that you can't solve the crime...... If you do become like this one day, I will feel sorry for you, because God did not send you into this world to do these things. ”
Lin Xiuyi looked at Sean with a serious face, he seemed to have understood what Sean wanted to admonish him.
"You don't have to worry about money now, so please promise me one thing, Lin, remember your current state, never give up your talent, and use your ability to help more people who need you!"
Sean said earnestly to Lin Xiuyi.
