The Story of the Seventh World (37)
The initial destruction of the clothing store did not have a big impact, the police thought that it was done by those ruffians who wandered in the city of London, and arrested the ruffians who often picked quarrels and provoked trouble nearby, but it was useless, the investigation was fruitless, and no one pleaded guilty, so they had to investigate slowly.
This period of time happened to be a few days apart after the last investigation by Steward Scott, and the destruction of the clothing store did not expand, and the surrounding shops had a similar situation before, and everyone didn't pay attention to it, even Armstrong didn't pay much attention to it, only admitting that he was unlucky.
But what happened next clearly showed that someone deliberately targeted Armstrong's clothing store, that is, in the past few days, Roberts Manor has carried out some house repairs, occupying most of the time of Steward's housekeeper, and there is no time to be distracted to find out how Armstrong is doing.
The vandalism incident is still ongoing, the police are also carrying the pressure to investigate slowly, and the most hurt is Armstrong, who has been a little unbearable a few times and wants to close the clothing store and leave London, but thinking that the family's expenses come from the clothing store, he has no choice but to insist.
This kind of thing soon spread to the streets and alleys, and almost all of the city of London. Even the craftsman who was responsible for repairing the house at Roberts Manor knew about it, and when people were resting at tea time, they talked about the latest news in the city of London, and it happened that Scott's butler was passing by, heard about it, and immediately arranged for someone to inquire about the matter.
The investigation was very fast, and after hearing what happened, Steward Scotto immediately used his authority to investigate Fraser.
Barron, male, 42 years old, studied economics and management at the University of Lyon, France, and was awarded several times by the college for his outstanding studies. After graduating, he returned to the UK and settled in London, where he opened the Fraser company.
Elula, female, 44 years old, studied at the Institut de Nantes, France. and Barron met in Paris, and after returning to the United Kingdom, they joined forces to start a business, and the relationship between the two was complicated and ambiguous.
Barron was not married, but had five girlfriends, three whom met while studying in France, and the latter two were introduced as boyfriend and girlfriend after returning to London.
…………
The eighteenth generation of Barron's ancestors was clearly investigated, and even the family situation of those girlfriends was investigated.
From this point, you can see the energy of the upper nobles, it is not too easy to investigate a person with a not very deep background, even if this person is just a housekeeper, he still has an energy that cannot be underestimated.
Barron dared to do something to Armstrong's clothing store because he had investigated the other party and did not have a deep background, just an ordinary tailor family, who had worked in a declining aristocratic family, but the specific nobleman did not find out.
This can't blame Barron, Dean Charles's family is low-key, even when the family is at its most glorious, Duke Arthur did not go around to show off his unspeakable status, but low-key development of the Roberts family, even so the family has experienced several ups and downs, but fortunately it is not big enough to threaten the survival of the family.
Under the tide of history, there are few families that can survive like the Roberts family, and there are few in the entire empire, which can be seen to be hidden but not leaked, and low-key development is the king!
Barron didn't take immediate action against Armstrong's clothing store, but encouraged a gang of ruffians in the area to smash the clothing store.
After waiting for a few days and no movement, Barron adopted the strategy of saluting first and then soldiering, but after the people he sent were driven back, Barron was a little annoyed, he wanted to use the gang of ruffians again, but they were not idiots, after the police began to investigate, they quickly found out their own group, and it still took a lot of money to settle those greedy guys, and no one would fall twice in the same pit.
This gave Barron a headache, and when he had no choice, he had to go to the East End to find a few homeless people who smoked big cigarettes and smashed the clothing store again, but what he didn't expect was that these homeless men were caught by the patrol police when robbing an outsider afterwards.
Allen is a hard-working patrol officer who brought "Les Miserables" to life, married twice, the first time his wife died of cancer, and the second wife disliked him as a patrol officer who did nothing, and left him. The only son was abducted by traffickers when he was three years old, and he has not been heard from for several years. I went to a bar to get drunk, but I was caught up in a fight between an alcoholic who drank too much and someone else, and I was hospitalized for half a month before I came out. After paying off the medical bills owed, the rest of the money barely survived, and I often went to my colleagues' places to eat and drink.
Since that time he was beaten by an alcoholic, Allen worked hard to find his old superior, a retired police sergeant from the police department, who was introduced by the other party to a fighting master, and I heard that it was from the United States, and opened a security company here, specializing in training rookies who don't know anything.
Allen basically used his salary to pay for fighting tuition, which was still cheapened by the sheriff, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pay the tuition, but fortunately, he had something to learn. Not to mention that it is compared with those Marine soldiers who have been on the battlefield and experienced life and death, but it is also much stronger than those ordinary police officers.
While learning to fight, I also exercised my body. The previously thin body has now become muscular, with eight-pack abs.
The body has become stronger, and other benefits have not yet been reflected, at least when I go to the bar, I will not be beaten again.
God may not be able to stand it, and the good fortune that fell on Allen's head like a merciful heaven may not be able to bear it, why do you say that?
It all started at midnight three days ago.
Alan isn't as drunk as he used to be, but he still likes to go to a nearby bar after a patrol, which is almost a habit, but drinking less is not harmful and helps to promote sleep.
Alan spends an hour at the bar every day after work, rain or shine.
I usually left an hour ago, so I didn't delay the next day's work. However, when the patrol was almost over today, a thief was caught, and it took half a day to register the confession, and then I found a nearby bar that I frequented.
Two glasses of whiskey, a cocktail, and a few small talks with a bartender I knew, and an hour passed.
It was twelve o'clock, on the way home, after crossing a street, turning a corner, I vaguely heard a cry for help, coming from the alley between two buildings not far from the side.
Alan often patrolled the neighborhood and was familiar with the nearby terrain and landforms, and knew that the apartment next to the alley had an external escape ladder, so he went around the building and came out from the escape ladder on the second floor, used the door to block his figure, and looked down through a beam of moonlight.
Deep in the alley, a tall and thin man and a bald man surrounded a young man with glasses punching and kicking, swearing and swearing.
The thin man saw that he was almost beaten, and he was going to grab the briefcase of the glasses man, who knew that the glasses man who looked thin was desperately clutching the briefcase and would not let go.
Alan just saw this scene in his eyes, and casually picked up the garbage bag placed near the escape door and threw it towards the thin man, under the cover of the night, the thin man only heard the wind whistling behind his head, and before the bald man could see what it was, the garbage bag smashed on the back of the thin man's head.
I don't know what is in the garbage bag, it's quite heavy, and the wind that comes out when I throw it out is whirring.
After the back of the thin man's head and the garbage bag came into close contact, there was a serious physical reaction, and the thin man fell directly on the cylindrical garbage bin against the wall, and his forehead made intimate contact with the edge of the garbage can again, and he fell to the ground and covered his head, "Ah! Yes! He shouted.
The bald man saw this scene and hit the glasses man in the face with a fist, and the force of the fist covered the right half of his face, and the glasses man fell to the ground for the second time after the thin man, the difference was that the glasses man fainted directly, and the thin man was still screaming heartbreakingly.
Alan slipped down the escape ladder and fell into the alley, and the bald man saw this scene and picked up the garbage cover on the ground and smashed it at Allen, but unfortunately it didn't hit, whether it was the reason for the light or the eyes, the garbage should have finally smashed onto the escape ladder.
Allen, who came down from the second floor, found the garbage cover that smashed at him, but he couldn't dodge it because of the inertia when he fell, so he thought he was going to take a hit, but he didn't expect to hit it.
Alan pounced on the moment his feet hit the ground, rolled over twice in a row, and after dodging the bald man's many long-distance attacks, he came to the other party's side, and pressed the bald man to the ground and rubbed it in three or two clicks.
The sound of fighting and shouting eventually alarmed the surrounding residents, after all, it was midnight and the street was very quiet.
The surrounding residents called the police, and Alan lit a cigarette, leaning against the wall and chatting with the white-haired old man who didn't know when he came out of the door, swallowing clouds and spitting mist.
While chatting, the sound of distant vehicles gradually became louder and louder, and the black police car stopped at the place at the mouth of the alley, and four patrol officers immediately got out of the car and walked towards the alley.
Luck can't stop it, the two robbers caught by Allen confessed that they robbed a clothing store with others two days ago, saying that someone hired them to rob it, but they hadn't seen the hired person, and they found them through an intermediary.
Caught a man in the place where they were hiding and ran for two. Alan participated in Cheng's arrest activities, because he was afraid that the other party would be alert, several patrol officers set off on their own after the report to clear the thief's den, Alan was rewarded by the police department, and was originally going to be the leader of the patrol team in his district, with ten patrol officers under his command, which is considered a petty officer.
But luck can't stop it, and the identity of the glasses man that Alan saved in the alley is not ordinary. It is said that he is a relative of a high-ranking official in the Home Office, who is not a native of London and has come to visit his relatives.
After the bespectacled man's experience was known to the high-ranking official, the high-ranking official arranged for someone to find the upper echelons of Scotland Yard and demanded serious treatment for the robbers.
Alan was praised by the high-ranking official, and it was impossible to bring substantial benefits to Allen, but the Metropolitan Police Department asked the Department of Home Affairs a few days ago, and there was no answer to the matter, and some things between the two sides were not negotiated, and they were cold.
This time Allen's matter is an opportunity, the two sides can take advantage of this step to go down, the senior official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that he can take a step back and let everyone talk, of course, the senior official himself will not be without any benefits.
During the regular meeting of the high-level of Scotland Yard, the unexpected incident was discussed, and Allen, as the protagonist of the incident, moved to the upper echelons, and Allen's heroic performance is worth learning from similar clouds, which are basically high-sounding nonsense.
However, fortunately, there is not much nonsense, and the matter of Allen's promotion has been brought up, and it is impossible for an ordinary patrol officer to be promoted too highly, even if he has made meritorious contributions to the police department this time.
In the end, according to Allen's performance, the upper echelons first transferred him to the training department for systematic training, and if he showed talent in investigation and other aspects, he was transferred to the crime investigation department in the substation as an investigation patrol.
The salary of the investigation patrol officer himself is not much different from that of the patrol team leader, but the difference is that the investigation patrol officer has a larger room for promotion, there are relatively more opportunities for meritorious service, and the attention of the upper echelons is also much greater.
Of course, if he can't show his worth, then he can only go back and continue to be the leader of his patrol team.
Before going back to training, Alan was given a week's time off, with his salary, of course.
On the second day of his vacation, Steward Scott sent someone to find Allen and asked about the situation, including what happened in the alley that day, and after receiving a definite answer, Scott Butler reported what happened to Armstrong and the results of the subsequent investigation to Dean Charles.
Instead of dealing with the clothing store immediately, Dean Charles called Gordon of the Metropolitan Police and explained the situation in detail, focusing on Allen for cracking a robbery gang.
The robbery of Armstrong's clothing store was put on the agenda by Deputy Director Gordon, who ordered the bureau to investigate as soon as possible, and if the evidence was true, immediately detain Barron.
Gordon has just given the order, and the police have conducted another surprise interrogation of the robbers, and the results of the interrogation have not yet come out!
Barron got the news through a friend in the bureau that a big man was investigating the matter and asked him to find a way not to implicate anyone else.
The news came too suddenly, and Barron was caught off guard, and he was stunned for a while, but fortunately, not only did he hear the phone call just now, but also Elula next to him, and immediately asked him to leave London and go to the branch in France to avoid trouble.
Barron didn't want to leave, but now he couldn't find anyone who could help him, so he found a way to leave London as Ellula said, and avoid the limelight for a while.
But what they didn't expect was that the Scottrade butler had already arranged for someone to keep an eye on them, whether it was their company or home, someone was watching them outside to prevent accidents.
Barron bought a ticket to leave London as soon as possible through his acquaintances, simply packed up and left his office, never returning home.
As soon as Barron left, Ilula released the news that Barron was going on a business trip to the United States, trying to confuse the public, so that the police could not catch Barron for a while, as long as Barron was not arrested, it would not endanger Fraser.
As soon as Barron left his office, Steward Scott got the news and reported to Dean Charles as soon as possible, Barron's whereabouts were exposed, and Dean Charles did not arrange for someone to arrest him immediately, but just called Gordon and told the other party about the current situation.
Deputy Director Gordon was so angry in his heart after receiving the call! There are ghosts in the National Police Agency, and to be specific, there are ghosts in the substation.
But this is not the key, the key is that as soon as his order was passed out, it was leaked, and it was also found by Dean Charles, the informant, this is not a snap! Smack, slap yourself in the face!
