"They told me to drive to Roden Avenue in Holloway, saying it wasn't my business after that, and I really didn't know anything......"

"Mr. Oliver, we know you have a criminal record, and I think you'd better tell us everything you know, or you won't want to get out of it for the rest of your life. I promise you that I will do everything in my power to send you to the dirtiest prison in all of England, full of homosexuals, and I will make sure that they will take good care of you......"

A grumpy-looking officer suddenly bent down and whispered a threat in Oliver's ear.

"I swear, I've told you everything I know, I really don't know what's in the car......"

Everything that happened in the interrogation room was watched by Osborne next door, and in fact he had long expected nothing from the truck driver.

The destination of the cargo was Holloway, north of London, which is not far from Arsenal's home stadium, the Emirates Stadium. Except for a few commercial facilities, most of the surrounding areas are ordinary houses. However, Osborne actually knew in his heart that Holloway should not be the real destination. This is because the employer may call the driver of the new location at any time.

According to Oliver's own account, he found the deal from a local forum. The only requirement for employers is that the driver must not be too curious. As for the remuneration, it is a deposit of 30% in advance, and the driver can get the rest of the remuneration after the deed. All remuneration is paid in cash. Oliver said he got his first payment from the station's storage box. The police have recovered the money from Oliver's home, and the rest of the cash has been withheld as evidence, except for some of which he has squandered himself.

According to Oliver's recollection, when he got the money, there was a Burger King paper bag wrapped around it. But the bag had already been thrown away by him. As for the remaining banknotes, the police did not find anything particularly useful from them.

Osborne looked at Alex, a subordinate next door who had found nothing, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and then left the room directly.

"Sir, you're ......"

One of his subordinates saw Osborne's reaction and hurriedly asked the chief about what to do.

"Tell Alex to take a break, it looks like we can't dig anything out of this driver!"

Osborne gave an explanation to his subordinates, then closed the door and headed straight for his office.

A cup of warm black tea, mixed with a fair proportion of milk and sugar, and a small snack, Osborne's slightly irritable mood finally got some comfort.

Osborne knew very well that the case he was dealing with was an incomplete case, and that Dover was just one of the stops in the human trafficking campaign. Goods entering the UK from the Port of Dover can be delivered to London as well as to other countries on the European continent. The British police just happened to discover the crime.

One of the most unique aspects of this case is that there are Asian women from Southeast Asia, European girls from Russia and Central and Eastern Europe, as well as two victims from the United States. According to the previous recommendations given by Interpol, the human smuggling business in the above-mentioned areas belongs to different regional criminal organizations. The three Asian women who disappeared in Bangkok were supposed to have been kidnapped by the Southeast Asian Snake Group, while the four Russian girls who were killed were most likely cargo from the Russian mafia. In addition, it is very likely that the Albanian gangsters were behind the kidnapping of the two Romanian girls. As for the remaining two American girls, Osborne even suspected that they might be two lone wolf kidnapping cases.

Why would so many criminal organizations suddenly collude to commit human trafficking, and what is the secret behind this? Osborne was puzzled.

Now Osborne has another clue in front of him, that is, the Mediterranean shipping company responsible for transporting the goods to the United Kingdom. But the company is not so simple, because the company's inextricable links with the Italian mafia are almost an open secret in Europe. Unless the British police have sufficient evidence, there is no way to compel Mediterranean Trading to do anything for the police.

"Sir, may I come in?"

Just as Osborne was thinking about the case with black tea, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Osborne knew that the person standing outside the door was Alex, who had just interrogated the truck driver Oliver.

"Come in!"

With Osborne's response, Alex gently pushed open the door and walked in.

"What's wrong, Alex!"

Seeing Alex's somewhat frustrated expression, Osborne couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"Sir, I would like to apply to you to initiate an investigation into the Mediterranean Shipping Company. The truck driver already told him everything he knew, and no matter how much we tried to torture him, he couldn't have more clues!"

"Alex, I want to think about this matter again!"

Osborne couldn't help but frown when he heard Alex's suggestion. How can this kind of thing be so simple. The interests of the Italian mafia are involved behind MSC, and it is also the second largest shipping company in the world, so such a behemoth is definitely not something that the Metropolitan Police Criminal Department can touch casually. The entire Mediterranean freight trade has been monopolized by this shipping company, and if it is only supported by the mafia, will they be able to develop to this extent?

"However, the containers containing the bodies were unloaded from a MSC ship. And the container itself has been modified, and if it weren't for the failure of the exhaust system, there is a good chance that the girls would still be alive by now. If there is no internal response from the shipping company to renovate such a thing as a container, how can those human smuggling syndicates do it?"

"Alex, of course I understand these things, but it is not up to you and me to investigate such a big matter as the MSC. I have already submitted an application to my superiors, and only with their approval can we open an investigation into this case against MSC. We can't do anything but wait until the official order is given!"

Osborne reluctantly told his subordinates this embarrassing fact.
