Section 197 Consequences of kidnapping [II]
"Sir, Sheriff Rock and Officer Buck have asked to see you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Invite them in."
Qin Lang tapped his fingers lightly on the arm of the chair, pondering. Obviously, Chris. Roque had found some clues that could link the company to the chemical spill, and of course the kidnapping carried out by the security services, otherwise he would never have chosen this time - eight o'clock in the morning - to visit his door: Roque has been collecting black money from the company for the past two years, and he would not have done it without a particularly serious problem that made him feel like he had a chance to do more.
So now there are only two questions: how much evidence does the famous corrupt sheriff have, and what does he want?
Qin Lang quickly searched his memories for information related to Roque - it was a well-known fact that the sheriff was trying his best to seek the position of deputy police chief, and the only way for a guy like him to get promoted was to spend money to buy a position - of course, he would do so, just like he had done before. But the price tag for the post of deputy director is high, so Roque's recent economic situation will certainly not be very optimistic.
Moreover, Qin Lang also heard some rumors, it seemed that Mr. Sheriff had kept a beautiful actress out of his wife's sight, and at the same time had an ambiguous relationship with two other ladies, if these rumors were as true as their propagators said - or half true, that would mean ......
Yes, all know what that means. Chris. Roque must find a way to multiply his income, whether it's embezzlement, bribery, or extortion.
The corrupt Sheriff Roque is about to become even more corrupt than ever.
Qin Lang stopped tapping on the armrest, but quickly crossed his fingers together and rubbed them together, and squeezed out a sneer at the corner of his mouth. But by the time Roque and Buck pushed the door open and walked into the office, the look on his face had changed to a diplomatic smile.
"Good morning, Sergeant, and Mr. Officer." His voice was calm and unusual, except for a hint of curiosity. "I want to know, what are you looking for me?"
The two officers took off their hats and held them in their hands, stood up straight, then exchanged glances, and then Roque replied in the same tone as he would report to his superiors, "It's about yesterday's chemical spill, sir." I'm sorry, but as everyone knows, Umbrella has a chemistry lab, so Buck and I had to come in for a routine investigation. ”
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Then I suggest you go straight to the lab and investigate." Qin Lang waved his hand casually, like driving away a pesky fly, "All the management of chemicals, including the purchase, storage, use and disposal, is all under the responsibility of the laboratory, and I don't even need to read the report." ”
"I understand, sir." Roque nodded. He understood, though only he thought it, that everyone knew that the head of the lab was Elizabeth. Miss Daubers, and everyone is well aware of her relationship with Qin Lang, it is entirely possible that Qin Lang has given her department a great deal of autonomy, which is not surprising at all.
So it wouldn't be surprising if he claims to be ignorant of the management of the lab. In fact, Roque understood this from the beginning, but he still came to Qin Lang because his purpose had nothing to do with the laboratory and chemicals.
"We'll go to the lab at once, sir." The sheriff hesitated slightly, "One more thing. Has Mr. Fisborne returned from the hospital? ”
"Who?" Qin Lang raised his eyebrows to hide his surprise. Roque actually said Fisborne's name directly, is this because he is too shrewd, or is Fisborne leaving too many flaws?
But anyway, Lawrence. Fisborne, this guy's troubles have gotten bigger.
Lawrence. Fisborne, your Chief of Security, sir. "Yesterday he was seen at the scene of the accident and went to the hospital with the Chinese who had passed out." ”
"But I heard it was a police officer."
"That's what I've heard. However, according to an eyewitness's account, the officer's appearance was very similar to that of Mr. Fisborne. After a pause, the sheriff added, "And I also investigated, and there were no new officers at the San Diego Police Department and no one showed up at the scene of the accident." ”
Qin Lang laughed, a slightly smug smile. "So you think the officer is Fisborne?"
Although he didn't understand what this was, Roque nodded. "Yes."
"It's so much fun." Qin Lang shouted, at that moment, both officers thought that he would either admit it or deny it, but the next second, he asked, "Is that eyewitness's description accurate?" ”
Roque is very sure of this. "Ray. Mr. Lyotard has always had a good memory, and can always remember the new faces who enter his hotel very quickly. ”
"Mr. Lyotard's neighbors and friends can attest to that." Barker, who had been silent, also chimed in, making a brief but powerful addition to his boss's speech.
"Ah, a talented man." Qin Lang sighed contentedly, and then began to laugh again.
It's really interesting: although Fisborne's plan seemed perfect, his negligence led to two serious flaws in its execution...... He should not use chemical waste, but he should also investigate what kind of person he is talking to.
Still, given the amateurishness of Fisborne and his men, their mistake was forgivable, and not serious enough to ruin the operation.
There is still much room for salvage.
Qin Lang set his eyes on Simon. Buck. "Officer Barker, can you get out for a bit? I'd like to talk to the sheriff alone. ”
A request that Mr. Police Officer couldn't refuse: Like Roque, Buck had been collecting Qin Lang's black money, so to a large extent, he couldn't disobey Qin Lang and had to follow his orders. "Yes, sir." He glanced hesitantly at Roque and repeated, "Yes, sir." ”
Then he quickly opened the door and walked out of the office.
When the door closed again, Qin Lang immediately made the conversation more straightforward. "Now it's just the two of us, Mr. Sheriff."
"Yes, sir."
"One thing I'm curious about, sheriff, how did you come to me today?"
"As you already know, I'm here to investigate yesterday's case, sir." Roque replied calmly, "Now I just want to solve this case as soon as possible." ”
"Really?" Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders, as if this answer made no sense. Of course, this was also the case, and the sheriff's answer was the exact opposite of what he usually had done, as if he had suddenly changed dramatically - but it was simply impossible.
But he didn't have to express his thoughts, because Roque himself revealed the answer. "Mr. Commissioner asked me to crack the case within seventy-two hours, otherwise I would never have been promoted to Deputy Director, and this position, in fact, I should get it next week...... That's how it should be. ”
"How much did you pay for it?"
"Fifty thousand."
A deputy commissioner position worth fifty thousand...... As a result, the close relationship that the company has built with Roque over the past two years is no longer valid. Qin Lang understood that the sheriff would definitely not want to see his $50,000 come to naught, but that in no way meant that he would support Roque's approach.
"Fifty thousand? It's stupid. Qin Lang snorted, "Sheriff, you're taking a risk, and you're also involved with other people." ”
"I'm sorry, but that's all I can say." Roque looked at him with a bitter expression, "And even if I don't do anything, someone will find out the truth in the end, and they won't notify you in advance." At that point, you'll be in even more trouble. ”
Troublesome? Although Roque was right, Qin Lang didn't feel that it was trouble at all. Poor Mr. Fisborne could not think of a solution to the problem, but he could, and could have come up with many. Now, all he had to do was choose the most suitable one of all options.
Qin Lang smiled, and then changed back to the posture he saw when the sheriff came in, rubbing his fingers together, but the smile on his face also changed back to a sneer.
He thought about it for a few seconds, then said, "Actually, sheriff, all you need is to solve this case, not find out the truth of the case." ”
"That's right, sir." Luo Ke hurriedly replied, but what was waiting for him was Qin Lang's warning eyes.
"Be patient, sheriff, be patient, and listen quietly to what I have to say." Then he laughed again, replaced by an evil one, "Yesterday's chemical spill was not an accident, it was a well-planned kidnapping. A gang of bandits kidnapped a Chinese man in San Diego by creating a chemical spill using toxic substances stolen from Umbrella's chemical lab and horse-drawn wagons stolen from nearby farms. ”
He thought about it again for a few seconds and then added: "Most of the bandits who carried out the kidnapping came from Mexico, and now all of them have been shot dead by the police. ”
"Wait, sir." Roque had to interrupt him, "Everything else is simple, but where do I find a gang of Mexican bandits?" ”
"It's your business, Sheriff." Qin Lang's fingers began to tap rhythmically on the armrest of the chair again, "You don't need to find too many people, three or four, that's enough, I know you can easily find such unlucky guys." After a pause, he added, "I'll provide you with some props." ”
Roque bit his lip and thought for a moment. "Okay."
And so it was settled. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
