After going downstairs, Shi Lei sat opposite the deputy director.

Seeing that Shi Lei's expression was a little strange, the deputy director couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He asked, "Mr. Shi, how was the result of the communication?"

Shi Lei said to the deputy director with a strange face: "The Australian side agrees to extend the time limit. ”

The deputy director thought that Shi Lei would say that communication was ineffective, and the British would definitely not be willing to wade into this troubled water, after all, the other party was a huge consortium, and the British royal family had to consider the consequences.

In particular, the royal family is only a symbol of the British constitutional monarchy after all, and it is only a symbolic meaning for the country, and its political impact is not as great as imagined.

Therefore, he is ready Shi Lei said that his British friends are probably powerless.

Unexpectedly, Shi Lei did not get involved in the matter of the consortium, but brought another news, and actually said that the Australian side agreed to extend the time limit.

"Huh, Mr. Shi, what did you say?"

"I said that the Australian side agreed to extend the time limit, and on the consortium side, my friend said that it might not be of much help, but he also promised to go over and communicate with the consortium. ”

The deputy director was stunned, he looked at Shi Lei with a puzzled face, and said, "Mr. Shi, we can't joke about this, how do you know ...... in Australia?"

Shi Lei smiled and said: "That's the case, after I called, before I had time to talk to the other party about the problem of the consortium, the other party told me that he already knew that I was in trouble in China." Then, he just had a phone call with the Australian president's office, and after communication, the other party decided to give the British royal family a face. Oh, by the way, my friend, a relative of the British royal family, Mr. Crawford Scola of the Duke of Scola's family, who is now an official of the Guildhall in London, England......"

"I know the Mayor of London, the MP, the next Labour leader. In the election of the Labour Party and the Conservative Party, the Labour Party has a tendency to rise, and Crawford is likely to become the next British Prime Minister because of the victory of the Labour Party. ”

The deputy director couldn't help but interrupt Shi Lei's words and told Crawford about his situation.

Shi Lei nodded and said: "After he knew about me, he has been actively communicating with the Australian side, and finally got the approval of the other party, promising to extend the time limit for solving the case, and also promised not to make the case public." ”

The deputy director said suspiciously, "...... you and Crawford?"

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I met by chance." ”

As if he suddenly remembered something, the deputy director slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, you have a good relationship with Li Qian Haocheng, you are also partners, and their family has always been good friends with the Scola family......

Shi Lei nodded, but shook his head again, and said, "Li Qian was met by me at Mr. Scola's house, and the reason why I met Mr. Scola was for another reason. I won't say much about the specifics, this time, the reason why he will help is because after Song Ziyan learned about me, he found him, hoping that he could come forward to communicate with the Australian side, at least give enough time so that our police can investigate a real result. ”

"Secretary Song?" The deputy director was slightly stunned, and then he remembered the important role that Shi Lei played in what happened before the Song family.

At the same time, an inexplicable vigilance made the deputy director stand up, and he said: "This matter is beyond my imagination, and I must report it to my superiors immediately." Mr. Shi, I'm sorry, although Secretary Song helped us this time, he has contact with foreign politicians, which is ......"

Shi Lei hurriedly interrupted the deputy director's words and said, "Song Ziyan and Crawford should have known each other for a long time, and they were originally friends. As far as I know, they became friends because of their common love for Chinese calligraphy and painting. I don't think he has anything to do with political events outside the country. Moreover, Mr. Scola told me very clearly that Song Ziyan never had any contact with him after he arrived in England, and he did not even know that Song Ziyan now lived in London. If it weren't for my business, and it was about Australia, he would never have gone to Scola. At the same time, Song Ziyan also asked me to bring a message back, if the country is not at ease, he can return to China at any time......"

The deputy director nodded, of course he was willing to believe Shi Lei's words, but he still had to report on this matter.

The deputy director, who left in a hurry, stood at the door of Shi Lei's villa and called his superiors.

After a brief explanation of the situation, his superiors told him that he would immediately ask the diplomatic department to contact the Australian side to confirm the incident. As for Song Ziyan's problem, he will also report to the secretary of Jiangdong Province, and how to deal with and arrange it depends on the results of the secretary's report to the central government.

After coming back, Shi Lei said: "I know that after the Australian side agreed to the extension, I told Mr. Scola about the consortium. This consortium does have a very good relationship with the royal family, but it does not have the same political stance as Mr. Scola, and they support the Conservative Party. ”

The deputy director nodded and said: "This is also a helpless thing, after all, Scola is a duke family canonized by the royal family, but Crawford has become the spokesperson of the Labor Party, which is inherently in conflict with the interests of the royal family." However, it is also an important opportunity to establish good communication between the British royal family and the Labour Party. Of course, it has nothing to do with us. I understand that it may not be easy to count on Crawford to help communicate with the consortium. ”

Shi Lei said again: "Mr. Scola didn't refuse, he still has some personal relationship with the other party, so he agreed to help ask." But in terms of results, there is no guarantee. ”

In fact, Shi Lei didn't tell Crawford about it at all, he knew very well that it was impossible to count on Crawford, and he originally called Crawford, just hoping that he could help communicate with the Australian side.

As the hottest political star in the UK right now, Crawford is very likely to become the leader of the Labour Party, and the possibility of the Labour Party winning the next election has greatly increased, presumably he should also have some face in Australia. To put it bluntly, although Australia has gotten rid of British rule, in many things, it still depends on the eyes of the British.

It's just that he didn't expect Song Ziyan to help him communicate in advance, and Crawford had already done it.

As for the consortium, Shi Lei completely pinned his hopes on the pupil of the night.

The provincial department also quickly received a reply from the diplomatic department, saying that it had contacted the Australian side, and confirmed Shi Lei's words, and the side did agree to give another five days.

The news was quickly fed back to the deputy director, who immediately stood up, held Shi Lei's hand, and said, "Mr. Shi, in fact, from a personal point of view, I already believe that you are not the murderer in this case. But, excuse us, your surveillance here has to be maintained, even if it's to give Australians an explanation. You can rest assured, I will speed up the progress of the investigation and strive to solve this case within five days of the other party's grace period!"

Shi Lei smiled and said: "The clear person is self-purifying, I am not worried about this, it is not something I did, and it is impossible to rely on me." If necessary, I will ask Mr. Scola to contact the Australian side again, hoping that the other side will not press too hard. ”

Having said that, in fact, Shi Lei no longer had any worries in his heart, and Wei Bodhi would be able to give an answer in ten hours at most.
