Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, Governor's Office.
MacLehose sat at his desk, closed his eyes and quietly listened to the latest situation from the Commissioner of Police Shi Lirong.
"Intelligence came from MI6. The butler of the Keswick family accepted the order of John Keswick and offered a reward of five million dollars to assassinate Xia Yu. It is certain that the one who died accidentally on the roof of the private house near the Jiuding Newspaper Company Building. The man is the killer.
After that, the three of the Keswick family, father and son, were also offered rewards, each of whom was offered a reward of 5 million U.S. dollars. According to analysis and reasoning, the reward was directed to Xia Yu, but unfortunately, so far, no proof has been found to prove that Xia Yu is The evidence of the indirect murderer is still under investigation.
As for the killer who committed the crime last night, although we searched for martial law throughout the city, we searched all ports and airports and found no clues or traces. What is certain is that this killer has associates. We are still investigating. These ones. "
After the report, Shi Lirong sat down quietly and looked at MacLehose, who closed his eyes and meditated.
"Last night Xia Yu, Li Jiacheng, Huo Yingdong and others went to Bao Yugang’s house for a secret gathering. Early this morning, they jointly attacked the Jardine Foundation. Based on a rational analysis, these people are also suspected. Have you investigated Huo Yingdong? What's the trend of the forces below, Li Jiacheng and others?"
MacLehose opened his eyes slowly and looked at Shi Lirong indifferently.
Since receiving this news last night, MacLehose has been thinking about it, but has not made a decision.
After all, whether it is Huo Yingdong, Li Jiacheng or Bao Yugang, there are other forces below, or support, or remote command. The force in their hands can not only protect themselves, but also be aggressive.
But these people are big bosses, the presidents of various chambers of commerce or Optimus Prime, and they cannot be easily checked.
Shi Lirong shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, all the news from the dark line shows that Bao Yugang and others have not given such orders, but there is no way to prove that they are not suspicious, but compared to Xia Yu, the suspicion is much smaller."
MacLehose nodded slightly, his eyes became misty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After waiting for a while, Shi Lirong asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to investigate Xia Yu?"
MacLehose frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about this problem. For a long time, he stood with his brows slightly and said: "Just now, John Keswick and Henry Keswick died, and the youngest Charles Keswick was rescued back. But it's also abolished."
Shi Lirong was startled, his brows furrowed tightly, and his heart shook. He secretly said that the Keswick family is over and the Jardine consortium is also in danger!
Since the incident happened last night, the entire police station has been up and running, so he has never had time to follow up on the rescue of the three Keswick family and his son. He didn't expect to come back.
The Keswick family is over, the matter is more serious and more complicated, he has to consider more factors.
No matter how powerful and valuable a person is, if he dies, he will have nothing.
This is the case with the Keswick family!
Why is the entire Keswick family so powerful? Isn't it because of the controller Jardine Foundation?
But it is John Keswick, the Patriarch of the Keswick family who controls the Jardine consortium, and other members of the Keswick family can’t control it. When John Keswick and his heirs die, the Keswick family cannot control Jardine. The consortium will even continue to weaken due to chaos.
On the other side, Xia Yu, the suspect, was in full swing at this time. Without evidence, to offend Xia Yu for the dead Keswick and his son, this is obviously worthless!
However, whether to investigate, how to investigate, and how to close the case depends mainly on the attitude of the Governor.
After all, Xiangjiang had an assassination with such a bad influence, and John Keswick was at the helm of the Jardine Consortium. As the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose could not shirk the blame and must give London an answer.
Shi Lirong made up his mind to stop expressing opinions, and looked at MacLehose quietly, waiting for his instructions.
For a long time, MacLehose said with a serious face: "Cha, also called him to the police department to take notes, and at the same time pay close attention to the reaction of his subordinates, mainly from the outside, pay attention to the scale."
Shi Lirong's old eyelids flicked, and he understood MacLehose's meaning. He nodded and said, "I see!"
After that, Shi Lirong left and hurried to the police station.
When Shi Lirong left, MacLehose sighed and leaned back on the chair, massaging his temples with his fingers, with a distressed look on his face.
As soon as the incident came out last night, he knew that the trouble was serious, and it didn't take long for the news to reach London. London asked him to conduct a thorough investigation and asked MI6 to cooperate with him.
He hasn't slept for almost the whole night, and has been receiving the latest progress news all night, but unfortunately has been disappointed.
Although based on rational analysis, MacLehose also felt that Xia Yu offered a reward, but he must pay attention to a piece of evidence, especially when the suspect is still Xia Yu, a powerful Chinese boss, any decision is not easy to make.
After checking Xia Yu, if the problem is found out, but if the problem is not found, he will have to give Xia Yu an explanation, and also have to give a statement to the outside world and the Chinese capital.
But without checking, he will face pressure from British capital and London.
I checked but failed to find out the results, there is no way to explain it to the outside world.
So thinking about it, no matter what, he is under great pressure.
"Hey, I hope I can find out something, otherwise..."
McLehose sighed, thought about it again for a while, then got up and went to the hospital. Anyway, after knowing the result, he must go there. This is unavoidable!
...
Let's say that Shi Lirong just returned to the police station and summoned his subordinates to arrange the task of investigating Xia Yu, but then he reported a news that caught him off guard.
A killer surrendered and killed the Keswick family father and son who had killed himself.
For the first time, Shi Lirong buzzed in his mind, knowing that it was too late, he was here for the dead ghost, and it was absolutely impossible for a killer to surrender!
"Where is the person, take me to see!"
As Shi Lirong spoke, he followed his subordinates to the observation room next to the detention room and carefully watched the investigation and inquiry scene inside.
"It was done by yourself, hehe, bastard!"
Shi Lirong sneered first, then slapped the table with a slap, feeling very upset, his face was hot.
The "killer" has come, and the case can be closed procedurally. If it spreads out again, how can he continue to investigate the case in depth?
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Shi Lirong thought for a while. Although this kind of result can only deceive ordinary people, it may not be an acceptable result.
Even for him, it should be the best result.
After all, the Keswick family is over. Although the people behind the scenes are slapped in the face, why not give him a step down?
At least he can give an explanation. Although anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on, at this time, if you should pretend to be stupid, you have to pretend. Is this kind of thing rare?
No need to look here anymore, Shi Lirong got up and went back to his office and called Li Sita, the deputy director of the operations department.
"You go and arrange to invite Xia Yu from the Jiuding Consortium to cooperate with us in a simple investigation. Note, please come here, don't offend him, understand?"
Shi Lirong ordered Li Sita and emphasized at the same time.
Li Sita's eyes flashed, thinking of the "killer" who came up just now, and immediately replied: "Okay!"
"Go!"
Shi Lirong waved his hand and asked Li Sita to execute.
After Li Sita left Shi Lirong's office, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his bitter expression could be seen from it.
"Hey, I was pitted by John Keswick. Once he died, I was in trouble. I had offended Xia Yu before. I must find a way to make up for it. Hey..."
After thinking about it, Li Sita immediately returned to his office, called a subordinate, and solemnly instructed: "Immediately stop guarding Xia Jun, make every effort to comfort him, and then send him back properly."
"understand!"
The subordinates were surprised, and immediately responded respectfully, and then quickly implemented Li Sita's task.
"This time, I really have to thank Han Yili, the **** who went against me..."
Thinking that he had been restrained before Xia Jun had had time to toss him, Li Sita laughed at himself, but he didn't expect that the old opponent's obstacle this time would be regarded as a help for him.
