Chapter 221: The Betrayer

Yu Ming exchanged pounds and took a taxi to the headquarters, the driver was an old man with a sense of geographical superiority, Yu Ming had seen a lot of such people, they often did low-level work, but they were proud of the locals. There are two kinds of superiority, one is to belittle the other party's region, and the other is to explain the superiority of one's own region. The driver is the latter, he does not belittle China, but strives to introduce the superiority of London. Things like universal health care is free, unemployment benefits are available for earning less than 60 pounds a week, and these people can live in free houses, and so on.

Because he is not malicious, Yu Ming should also learn more knowledge, and until he arrived at the headquarters building, Yu Ming actually had a general understanding of the British election, medical care, retirement, security, social work, transportation, public security and other systems. So don't underestimate the brother, no one knows the city better than the brother.

The location of the headquarters building is not good, it is not a bustling business district, and you can see ghosts in strange costumes in the business district, but they will not gather together to smoke and chat. And here, there is a little girl with red hair on the head of a hedgehog, the little girl is dressed in a robe, a cloth diagonal line wraps the twin peaks, a pair of big earrings, smoking on the steps of the entrance of the building. Smoking is strictly regulated in the UK, but there is also negative news, a centenarian lady who is convinced that the secret of her longevity is smoking and drinking whisky, and she received a greeting card from the Queen of England on her 100th birthday.

Yu Ming didn't think that this little girl was Ah Fei, and the cigarette in the little girl's hand burned naturally, not smoking. The little girl has a mobile phone hanging on her chest, and a five-finger bracelet on the palm of her left hand, and there is a button in the bracelet, and she is taking pictures of people entering and leaving the building. The little girl saw Yu Ming paying attention to her, glanced at Yu Ming attentively, and then turned her head and continued to look ahead in a daze.

This girl is looking for someone to wait for the rabbit, and she doesn't know who the rabbit is.

Yu Ming entered the building, and the International Independent Investigator Organization was on the 21st floor. Taking the elevator to the twenty-first floor, Yu Ming saw the headquarters. Yu Ming never expected the headquarters to be like this, a fat woman with glasses sat there reading a magazine, looking inside, an open office of eighty square meters, and only a single office. A man and a woman are concentrating on playing Go.

Yu Ming just walked in, and the three of them didn't notice it. Looking left and right, Yu Ming really couldn't help it, and knocked down the table next to him: "Hello." ”

A man and a woman looked up, both young people, and the two looked at Yu Ming. Then they glanced at each other, and the fat woman asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Ming asked: "Is this the headquarters of the International Independent Investigator?" ”

"Yes." The fat woman replied.

The young woman looked down at Go: "Another young man with a cramp in his head." ”

The man played Go and said, "Lucy, that's too rude." ”

Yu Ming ignored these words and thought for a while: "I'll find the person in charge." ”

The fat woman looked at Yu Ming for a long time: "Young man, we are only responsible for helping the community pay taxes and organizing volunteers to serve the community." Don't accept commissions and don't know who the members are, you're in the wrong place. ”

Depend on. It's a leather bag company. But it's not a leather bag company. A mobile phone is the headquarters of the investigator, all kinds of resources are available, and he came to the headquarters stupidly, who is to blame?

The woman named Lucy didn't raise her head and said, "There is a private detective investigation agency on the tenth floor, you can go to them if you have something."

Yu Ming was curious: "How can I contact the independent investigator?" ”

"We don't know." Lucy replied, "You can go and ask God, who knows more than we do." ”

The three laughed. Yu Ming didn't feel funny, the phone vibrate, and Yu Ming walked out of the headquarters to answer the phone: "Hey! ”

"It's my vice chairman, 003, 011, what are you doing at the headquarters?" A woman asked.

Yu Ming looked up. Seeing a monitor on top of the headquarters, Yu Ming smiled bitterly: "I'm bored." ”

"It's really boring, you think there's investigators at work at headquarters? Then there are no private investigators in London, and everyone comes to the headquarters for help. 003 explained, "We don't need a physical office location. Our headquarters staff are only responsible for paying taxes and accepting official audits of the association's qualifications. ”

"Huh." Yu Ming laughed dryly, embarrassed.

"Welcome to London, Zaijian."

Yu Ming hung up the phone and took the elevator downstairs, the little girl was still there, and looked at herself. Walking in front of the Ming Dynasty, the little girl threw away the cigarette and followed. Yu Ming glanced back at her, the little girl immediately turned around, Yu Ming walked forward, and the little girl continued to follow. Yu Ming wondered in his heart, and walked to the side of the road to wait for a taxi.

The little girl looked left and right behind Yu Ming, and approached Yu Ming: "Excuse me, are you an independent investigator?" ”

"It's not." Yu Ming replied, deceiving little Lori, there is no pressure.

"Lucy says you might."

Lucy? The office one? Yu Ming explained: "I am not familiar with the UK, I am Chinese. ”

When the little girl heard Yu Ming's words, she hurriedly said, "Then you must know the independent investigator from the UK?" ”

Yu Ming replied: "I am not an investigator. ”

"My dad is an investigator." The little girl looked at Yu Ming.

"Huh?" Yu Ming was quite surprised.

The little girl took out a ring: "Look. ”

Ring? However, he couldn't identify himself through the ring, so Yu Ming asked, "Your father's name?" ”

"John Burns, my name is Nancy Burns." The little girl replied.

Yu Ming smiled and asked: "Since your father is an investigator, do you still want to find an investigator?" ”

"This ......" Nancy thought for a while, "can you help me make an appointment with the independent investigator in the UK, I have money, xiexie you." ”

Yu Ming thought for a while and said, "I'll only make a phone call for you, you can't follow me anymore." ”

"Okay." Nancy nodded repeatedly.

Yu Ming called Montero: "There is a girl named Nancy Brolens who said she wants to see an independent British investigator. ”

Yu Ming didn't expect Montero to sigh, and Montero was silent for a while: "She is really persistent, okay, you take her to the Swan's private club." ”

Yu Ming hung up the phone and looked at Nancy: "I'll take you there." "How do you feel like you're kidnapping bad girls.

"Xiexie, you're a good person." Nancy was overjoyed.

Few people praise themselves so much, so the three views of little Lori are destined to be easily deceived.

……

The Swan Private Club is a bar with only two guests without waiters, and Montero and a woman are drinking at the table. Yu Ming and Nancy arrived, and the woman got up and said to Nancy, "Please be seated." She waved her hand and walked to the bar with Yu Ming.

There was no staff at the bar, and the woman came into the bar and asked, "What to drink?" ”

"Coke."

"Huh." The woman was about thirty-five years old, smiled, opened a can of Coke for Yu Ming, added wine to her cup and sat down: "My name is Bella, 003, welcome to London." ”

“xiexie。” Yu Ming drank Coke and glanced over there, Montero listened to the little girl very carefully, the little girl sat upright, very well-behaved.

Bella took one look and said, "Her father's name is John, and he used to be a member of our organization. ”

"And then?" Yu Ming asked curiously.

"Later? Later he betrayed the Order. At that time, Montero had not yet joined the Investigator Group, John was the only investigator in the UK, and our predecessor was the International Anti-Fraud Insurance Alliance, which was established by a number of insurance companies, and John was the first Vice Chairman of the Independent Investigators after the reorganization of the Alliance. At the same time, he is also my referee. Bella said, "But...... At that time, two investigators from Britain and Germany worked together to track down an oil painting called "The Captain", which had an insurance amount of 30 million pounds, and we have reason to suspect that the owner had cheated the insurance and forged the theft. But whether it's a theft or not, our first goal is to find the painting. ”

Bella added a glass of wine to herself and said: "The painting was finally found in Germany, and the German investigator and John went to London together, and they stayed at John's house for one night that night, and the next morning, John, the German investigator found that John and the painting were missing. German investigators immediately alerted the organization. ”

At that time, it was concluded that John had become wealthy and fled with his paintings. This conclusion was difficult for the chairman's committee to believe, but John was never heard from, and John was eventually named a traitor. In accordance with the organization's rules, the organization compensated John's organization fund to Mercury International Insurance Company, for which the organization paid 20 million pounds in compensation, and if it were not for the rich people's funding, the independent investigator organization would have collapsed at that time. In order to repay the 20 million pounds, the investigators at the time voluntarily adjusted the 10 per cent of the organisation's commission to 50 per cent, and it took four years to pay off the debt. ”

"This is a near-devastating blow to the organization, John's daughter Nancy was six years old at the time, and she firmly believed that her father would not do such a thing, and she is sixteen years old this year, right?" In the past decade, she has been looking for an independent investigator. ”

Montero raised his hand, and Bella and Yu Ming took drinks and sat down. "Nancy provided information that there was a fourth person talking to her father outside the door on the night of the incident. She was in her room on the second floor and only glanced at it. ”

Bella looked at Nancy and said, "I remember five years ago, you said that the police took your father away, and three years ago you said that someone kidnapped your father. We spent a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate these two clues, and it turned out that you were lying. ”

"This time it's true." Nancy replied earnestly.

Bella said: "Nancy, are you so persistent? ”

Nancy bowed her head and said, "When I was a child, my dad used to tell me the story of the investigators, and he said that the investigator organization is an organization with honor and responsibility. I always remembered his words when I grew up, so I didn't believe my dad was a bad guy. There must have been other reasons, he couldn't have abandoned his faith, his mother and me for money. ”

Montero said: "Nancy, I agree with your subjective opinion, judging from the subjective evidence, your father has taken over more expensive items, and your father loves your mother and you very much. But judging from the objective evidence, it was indeed your father who took "The Captain". Your father was a soldier of the British Royal Airborne Service, served as a bodyguard, and was highly alert and skilled. We were at your house at the time, and there was no sign of resistance or warning, and the German investigator found sleeping pills in his wine glass. And your father's cup doesn't have sleeping pills. ”

Montero said very seriously, Nancy looked left and right helplessly, her eyes stayed on Ming, Yu Ming spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know anything. Nancy looked at Montero, and Montero thought about it and asked, "Yu Ming, what do you think?" (To be continued......)
