Chapter 29: Take the initiative
"Sir Osborne, there's a guest waiting for you in the office!"
As soon as Osborne, who had just returned from outside, returned to the Metropolitan Police Department's criminal department, a female subordinate in charge of internal affairs reminded him.
"Who are the guests?"
"I don't know, it's Asian! Claiming to be a ...... who came to inquire about Dover's case."
"Asian, is it a middle-aged man who looks dark-skinned?"
"No, it's a fair-skinned young man, and he seems to be a little shy......"
"Oh, I see, thank you, Maggie!"
"You're welcome, sir!"
Hearing Maggie's reminder, Osborne couldn't help but slow down his pace, he walked lightly to the door of his office, and looked through the gap in the blinds in the glass curtain wall, and it was indeed the policeman from Japan sitting inside.
Osborne hesitated and stood outside the door, placing his hand on the doorknob. He hadn't thought about how to explain the progress of Dover's case to Lin Xiuyi for a while, because these days, Osborne had focused his main energy on investigating the source of the new drug.
"Forget it, we can't be considered for nothing now, anyway, at the very least, we have found this clue of a new type of drug. I guess I can give these Japanese a little explanation!"
Thinking of this, Osborne finally made up his mind and pushed the door open. Hearing a noise behind him, Lin Xiuyi also hurriedly stood up.
"Officer Osborne!"
"Officer Lin, I don't think you made an appointment with me in advance!"
"Ah...... I'm really sorry that my surprise visit has disturbed your work?"
"Uh...... I just think that if you don't make an appointment in advance, maybe it will delay your time?"
"Oh...... Looks like I'm lucky today, just sit here for a while and you'll be back. ”
"Excuse me, are you here for something today?"
"Yes, I received a notice from the Metropolitan Police yesterday that it seems that a residue of a new organic compound has been found in the victim's body, and I also have a new discovery, and I would like to ask you about it in person......"
"Is the new discovery related to that new drug?"
"Oh...... Not really!"
"What's that?"
"It was Minoru Kawauchi's camera, and the deceased Minoru Kawauchi was an excellent photographer who had a very expensive Hasselblad camera in her hand, and the Thai police did not find any trace of this camera at the deceased's residence. I think...... Could it be that the kidnappers who kidnapped Minoka Kawauchi discovered the value of this camera and kept it privately?"
"Hah...... Camera?"
"Yes, the camera sells for up to $40,000 in the market, and even if it's stolen, it can sell for a fortune on the black market. However, I have asked Officer Songkan to contact the Thai side for an investigation. I'm here today to tell you the news, but there's something else I want to ask you about?"
"One more thing, you mean ......"
"I want to take a look at the container where Minoru Kawauchi was imprisoned, after all, it's been so long, and I haven't visited the scene of the crime, so it's more or less unreasonable, right?"
"Can you just take a look......
Osborne couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Xiuyi's request. As long as the other party doesn't bother him with the Dover case every day, Osborne will satisfy them whatever these foreigners want.
"Yes, if it's convenient, I'd like to know as much as I can about the Dover case. Of course, this is all on the premise that it does not interfere with the work of the British police......"
Lin Xiu was afraid that the other party would refuse his request, so he took the initiative to make his own guarantee to Osborne.
After some careful consideration, Osborne finally agreed to Lin Xiuyi's request. He asked Lin Xiuyi to go back first and wait for his news, once he arranged the relevant itinerary for Lin Xiuyi, he would inform Lin Xiuyi of the time of visiting. Lin Xiuyi was slightly grateful to Osborne for his proposal, and left his office directly.
After leaving the Metropolitan Police in London, Lin Xiuyi chose to walk back to the Intercontinental Hotel where he lived. The Metropolitan Police is now also known as New Scotland Yard. Located on the banks of the River Thames, it is very close to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, and if you choose to walk, you will pass by St James's Park, Green Park, Buckingham Palace and several other famous tourist attractions along the way. The InterContinental Hotel, where Lin is now staying, is located between Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace. However, it is a pity that Lin Xiuyi has not had the opportunity to visit these places leisurely.
Regarding the case of Shika Kawauchi, Lin Xiuyi has been carefully sorting out the investigation ideas in his room these days. Judging by what we have so far. The murderer didn't leave too many clues for Lin Xiuyi.
The real location of the Dover case was not in the UK, but in Thailand, the United States, Romania and Russia outside the UK. This barrier alone made Lin Xiuyi feel very embarrassed. Because he couldn't go to Thailand to directly investigate the truth of Minoru Kawauchi's disappearance according to his own wishes, all the investigations were indirectly entrusted to the other party through communication with Officer Songkan. It's really hard to say how effective this approach will be.
In addition to the difficulty of not knowing the location of the crime, there is another huge obstacle in front of Lin Xiuyi, that is, the progress of the investigation by the British police. To be honest, it has been quite some time since this case was discovered. However, the British police do not seem to have conducted a proper investigation into the shipping company that transported the container to the UK. This made Lin Xiuyi feel that the efficiency of the British police was too slow. Therefore, he felt that instead of just standing on the sidelines and watching, he should try to do something so that the investigation of the Dover case could progress faster.
Just as Lin Xiuyi walked past Buckingham Palace, the surrounding tourists and pedestrians gradually increased. Seeing such a famous building in front of him, Lin Xiu couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, he stood on the side of the road, held up his mobile phone to take a photo of the main entrance of Buckingham Palace, and then sent the photo to Akemi and Reina.
However, at the moment when Lin Xiuyi took out his mobile phone, he suddenly felt that he had suddenly thought of something.
If the girls were sent to England to sell for a high price, then the girls as commodities would have to go through some packaging and publicity. After all, if the goods are sent to London all the way, and if the buyer is not satisfied and refuses to pay the final payment, will the human smuggling syndicate lose a lot?
