CHAPTER XI
When Martin was first brought to his office, he was very unimpressed by the high-tech design inside, although the glass can be denatured when it is energized - transparent or opaque, or one-way transparent, retinal recognition in and out, one-key lock, hidden computer and information system, clean and tidy, and can exchange data with the intranet at any time. Sure enough, within a few years, the budget was reduced, curtains were added to the windows, and the access control was changed to a card swiping device, but Martin forgot to close the door when he went out just now, which did not meet the regulations. Provisions, go to his regulations. Just now, the minister was admonishing him to abide by the rules. After being trained, no one is happy - Martin is the EU police headquarters Eu
The Acting Director of OPOL had just been called in by the Executive Minister, Mr. Rutte, and given a severe reprimand. The minister, as Martin's old superior, unceremoniously told him that he was not satisfied with the performance of the police officers, and that Martin's department had repeatedly violated the rules recently, and that the work at hand needed to be vigorously rectified, especially the personnel and intelligence systems. Subtext: Martin knows that it is Martin who needs to be rectified the most, because he is in charge of these departments. When he tried to refute, the minister's tall body with a Mediterranean hairstyle stood up very intimidatingly, walked up to Martin, and poked Martin's uniform with the index finger of his right hand, which was missing a little finger, and slammed it with great strength. When he said "Listen" in a heavy tone, Martin's thoughts began to drift away. It is clear that the minister's impatience is justified: the expected case has not been solved, the main culprit has not been caught, and the idea of asking for credit has been frustrated like hunger, which is as maddening as hunger, all of which are the reasons for Martin. Martin was distraught, his ass had just touched the newly changed cloth chair, and the phone rang like a firecracker, as if the phone had been watching him without delay.
The call came from the Prime Minister's office in The Hague. The prime minister is not based in Amsterdam, and Martin feels that the Netherlands is simply the most chaotic country in Western Europe. Tulips, windmills, Feyenoord, that's it, only the red light district has more than Paris. The Prime Minister called Balk what kind of de, Martin couldn't figure it out, but it was this kind of dee that asked him to report to work alone tomorrow, and when he asked what was the matter, the other party had already hung up the phone, and the beep sound came from him like a rope to tie Martin and take him to the scene of the crime many days ago.
The scene was strange, and it was later identified as a Dutch Telegraph reporter named Orange who had been shot dead in the woods behind the Thai embassy in the Netherlands, and had been dead for more than three days when he was found, with a strong smell that made it difficult to approach. The chief forensic doctor of the Hague Police Headquarters, Leo, claimed after examination that the body had been shot three times, the deadliest one through the heart, and that the killer was very professional. In addition to this, the body of the deceased was moved to a branch after being shot, face down, and two eyeballs were gouged out, as if resentful of the deceased for looking at something that should not be seen. The first person to find the body was already scared and admitted to the hospital. The Thai Embassy also lodged a strong protest with the Dutch government, asking the Dutch police to strengthen security to protect the lives and property of embassy personnel. Eu
The headquarters of OPOL was in The Hague, and Martin, as the head of the police in Greater Europe, had to go to the scene in person with the Hague Police Headquarters and the regional police to look for clues. The deceased's belongings did not appear to have been lost or robbed, and the digital camera he had brought with him was also hung on a tree, and in addition to ordinary news photos, many of them were oil paintings, which looked like they were taken inside the museum. The most arrogant thing is that the murderer also took a selfie of himself with this camera after committing the crime, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and the Adidas hoodie tightly wrapped his head, like a kangaroo with his head down. This is the last picture in the camera, Martin is angry after reading it, this is an insult, this is a provocation! He asked Joe, the highest-ranking Dutch police officer who was present at the scene, what he thought, and Joe said we didn't know anything. This is the most common phrase used by the Dutch police, and Martin has known it for a long time. A freshly carved shamrock mark was found on the bark, but it was not Adi's, but more like a golden flower in a playing card. It's hard to spot without looking closely.
After inspecting the scene, the next investigation work was very embarrassing, because I didn't know where to start. Joe consulted Martin, who asked him to check the newspaper's social relations with Orange, and the clues he received were very pale. Orange was a bachelor who had worked for less than a few years, had no complicated social relationships, and no obvious enemies. A week later, Joe asked Martin what he should do, and Martin tried to imitate Joe's Dutch accent English and said, I don't know anything. Joe sneered, the European police like to say this sentence the most, don't think I don't know. Martin didn't warn Joe about the clues about the famous museum paintings in the camera, and he felt that even if he told Joe, with Joe's IQ, he wouldn't associate anything. His hobby is football, and he goes to play football with his son after work.
The turning point occurred last Friday afternoon, when the officer on duty at a small police station suddenly received an anonymous phone call claiming to be the killer and detailing the crime. Martin was overjoyed and immediately reported to the minister that the murderer's motive was politics, as the journalist had been secretly trying to tamper with poll data. Because the deceased was a reporter for the largest newspaper in the whole of the Netherlands, public opinion was boiling. The minister instructed that this arrogant guy must be caught as soon as possible, and the investigation of this case is very much needed to boost the election, and the minister is also under great pressure.
However, according to the communication data, the location was located at a grocery store in Rotterdam, and the Chinese owner said that his phone was coin-operated because it was close to a bar, and many people came to call it every day. Martin asked Joe to send someone to set up an ambush here, and he thought that the murderer would appear again—if it was arrogant, it could be a little more arrogant. However, without waiting for the murderer to appear, the "Kyodo Daily" and the "Worker's Daily" poked the news out almost simultaneously. Martin asked people to call the editors-in-chief of the two newspapers to question and warn, and the reply was that they were press freedom, long live freedom, police stupid, police damned!
Putting down the phone, Martin had the heart to blow up Mars and Jupiter, and he understood that Rutte had no shoulders and threw the pot at himself - with his rank, he would not have attracted the attention of the Prime Minister. But the bureaucracy is crushing people, especially in democratic Europe. Trouble ensued, and his thoughts distorted the expression on his emaciated face. He rang the bell and called the trembling female assistant Helen, asking her to sort out the materials related to the case and hand them to him before getting off work, but the time was so tight that the woman was stunned on the spot. Without giving her a chance to defend herself, Martin immediately began to vulgarly curse her skinny monkey's tail, except for the swear words Martin had almost exhausted all the abuse he could have in his life—Martin used metaphors well, a secret he had when he was a child. Just as the woman had turned around just as she was too tired to let her go, Martin suddenly saw her long hair curling and rolling backwards in a big lump, and our chief was furious—wasn't this like the scythe in the hand of the Grim Reaper? Martin stood up, he only insulted and had no interest in harassing her, although the woman was not ugly, Martin pointed to her nose, spit all over her face, and roared loudly that she must change her hairstyle before going to work tomorrow, bald, or let her get out of here, or be transferred to the field office—that is a nightmare for any female employee, and there have been people who have lost their children from overwork in less than two months after being transferred. LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AFTER THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW ASSISTANT, SHE WAS COMPLETELY FRIGHTENED BY MARTIN'S POSTURE, AND POOR TEARS SWIRLED BEHIND THE LENSES OF ESSILOR'S SPECTACLES, WHICH MR. RUTTE HAD ASKED HER TO FIT WHEN HE FIRST SAW HER, AND THE MINISTER THOUGHT THAT HER ORIGINAL GLASSES WERE NOT BRANDED ENOUGH TO REFLECT THE CULTURE OF THE EU POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND IMPLIED THAT IT MUST BE IN THE MOST FAMOUS DE BIJE IN THE HAGUE
ko
f Department Store, which cost her a lot of savings, although she applied for the name of the minister and finally got a little discount. The minister's inexplicable favor and the boss's unexplained troubles made the new woman suffer like a bitter love. Helen returned to her seat, and Joey next to her looked at her sympathetically and brought her a cup of coffee. Joey looked around, then lowered his head and whispered to Helen, don't mess with 55-year-old men, they are all menopausal devils. Helen succeeds Joey, who applies for early retirement. Lao Lin said that like thousands of ordinary girls who work in the company, these women at the EU police headquarters just want to mix peacefully until retirement, without the slightest superfluous idea. But none of these ideas are easy to satisfy.
Martin was about to go home, and as soon as the lake-blue Aston Martin drove out of the underground garage of the headquarters, it began to block, and the sky was already dark, and the drizzle was as dense and nowhere to fall. He had nothing to do with the big screen in the car, and after listening to a few words of news without boring chat, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole person seemed to fly, it turned out that the party of the Prime Minister was unexpectedly defeated in the just-concluded parliamentary election, and what virtue is basically sure that he will get out soon, no wonder so many people on the road are blocking the horn to celebrate. The Director was so happy that he pressed the horn on the steering wheel, imagining that it was a Zemero-Frankl empty set, and that he could empty himself and remove the word "agent" from his hat. Suddenly, he was startled by a man in a long gray trench coat and a vintage Silkhat top hat, who jumped out of front of his car and almost hit him, and the director gave up on being a gentleman again. The rain became heavier and heavier, and the black night was like a neon like blood, like a poisonous snake scurrying on the ground. The more Martin doesn't want to think about it, the more uncontrollably he thinks about that bizarre case many years ago, and the bad thing is that it is difficult to eradicate, whether he is the ICPO representative in the Americas, an ordinary police inspector in Paris, or the acting commissioner of the European Union Police Headquarters. Old wolf, why does this person look so much like an old wolf? Martin thought curiously.
The old wolf is Lee's father, a Chinese who grew up in Taiwan, and Lee's mother is an overseas Chinese in Jakarta. At the age of 26, the old wolf came to the United States with Lee's grandparents, first in San Francisco, then in New York, and finally in Massachusetts. Lee was born in Chicago when his father, a police officer, died in a gangster murder less than six months old. Lee's mother married a white man when he started college, and his stepfather was mainly engaged in the import and export trade business in the European market, and he was not bad to Lee. The stepfather was married twice, with a son and a daughter, both white. So Lee had a Stepb
