Chapter 1176 The Innocent Will Be Cleared

After going downstairs, Shi Lei sat opposite the deputy director.

Seeing Shi Lei's strange expression, the deputy director couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He asked: "Mr. Shi, what is the result of the communication?"

Shi Lei said to the deputy director with a strange look: "Australia agreed to extend the time limit."

The deputy director thought that Shi Lei would say that the communication had no effect, and the British would definitely not want to wade into this muddy water. After all, the other party is a huge consortium, and the British royal family must also consider the consequences.

In particular, the royal family is only a symbol of the British constitutional monarchy after all, and it is only a symbolic meaning for the country. The political influence is not as great as imagined.

So, he was ready for Shi Lei to say that his British friends might be powerless.

Unexpectedly, Shi Lei did not mention the consortium, but brought another news, and it turned out that Australia agreed to extend the time limit.

"Ah? Mr. Shi, what did you say?"

"I said that Australia agreed to extend the time limit. As for the consortium, my friend said that he might not be able to help much, but he also agreed to go and communicate with the consortium."

The deputy director was stunned. He looked at Shi Lei with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Mr. Shi, we can't joke about this. How do you know that Australia..."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "It's like this. After I called, before I had time to tell the other party about the problem of the consortium, the other party told me that he already knew that I had encountered difficulties in China. Then, he just talked to the Australian President's Office on the phone. After communicating, the other party decided to give face to the British royal family. Oh, By the way, my friend is a relative of the British royal family, Mr. Crawford Scola from the Duke of Scola's family. He is now an official of the London City Hall in the UK..."

"I know that he is the mayor of London, a member of Parliament, and the best candidate for the next leader of the Labour Party. In the election between the Labour Party and the Conservative Party, the Labour Party is on the rise, and Crawford is likely to become the next British Prime Minister because of the Labour Party's victory."

The deputy director couldn't help interrupting Shi Lei and recounted Crawford's situation.

Shi Lei nodded and said, "After he knew about my situation, he has been actively communicating with the Australian side. Finally, he got the other side's approval and promised to extend the time limit for solving the case. At the same time, he also promised not to make the case public."

The deputy director asked in confusion: "You and Crawford..."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I met by chance."

The deputy director seemed to suddenly remember something. He slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, you have a good relationship with Li Qianhaocheng. You are also partners. His family has always been on good terms with the Scola family..."

Shi Lei nodded, but shook his head and said, "I met Li Qian at Mr. Scola's house. The reason why I met Mr. Scola was because of another reason. I won't say more about the details. This time, the reason why he helped was because Song Ziyan found him after learning about my situation. He hoped that he could come forward to communicate with the Australian side, at least give enough time for our police to investigate a real result."

"Secretary Song?" The deputy director was slightly stunned. He then remembered the important role Shi Lei played in what happened to the Song family before.

At the same time, an inexplicable vigilance made the deputy director stand up. He said, "This matter is beyond my imagination. I must report it to my superiors immediately. Mr. Shi, I'm sorry. Although Secretary Song helped us this time, he has contact with overseas politicians. This..."

Shi Lei hurriedly interrupted the deputy director and said, "Song Ziyan and Crawford should have known each other for a long time. They are friends. As far as I know, they became friends because of their common interest in Chinese calligraphy and painting. I think he will never have any connection with overseas political events. Moreover, Mr. Scola told me very clearly that Song Ziyan never had any contact with him after arriving in the UK. He didn't even know that Song Ziyan was living in London now. If it weren't for my matter, and this matter was related to the relationship with Australia, he would never go to Scola. At the same time, Song Ziyan also asked me to bring back a message that if he was worried about the country, he could return home at any time..."

The deputy director nodded. Of course, he was willing to believe Shi Lei's words, but he still had to report this matter.

The deputy director hurriedly left, stood at the door of Shi Lei's villa, and called his superior.

After briefly explaining the situation, his superior told him that he would immediately let the diplomatic department contact Australia to confirm the matter. He would also report Song Ziyan's problem to the senior officials of Jiangdong Province. The specific handling and arrangement would depend on the results of the secretary's report to the central government.

After returning, Shi Lei said: "I know that after Australia agreed to the extension, it talked to Mr. Scola about the consortium. This consortium does have a very good relationship with the royal family, but its political stance is different from Mr. Scola's. They support the Conservative Party."

The deputy director nodded and said: "This is also helpless. After all, Scola is a duke family canonized by the royal family, while Crawford has become the spokesperson for the Labor Party. This originally conflicts with the interests of the royal family. However, this is also an important opportunity for the British royal family and the Labor Party to establish good communication. Of course, this has nothing to do with us. I understand that it is probably not easy to expect Crawford to help communicate with the consortium."

Shi Lei added: "Mr. Scola did not refuse. He still has some personal relationship with the other party, so he agreed to help and ask. But as for the result, there is no guarantee."

In fact, Shi Lei didn't tell Crawford about this at all. He knew very well that it was impossible to count on Crawford. He originally called Crawford, hoping that he could help communicate with the Australian side.

As the most popular political star in the UK, Crawford is very likely to become the leader of the Labor Party, and the possibility of the Labor Party winning the next election is also greatly increased. Presumably he should also have some face in Australia. To put it bluntly, although Australia has got rid of British rule, it still depends on the British's eyes on many things.

But he didn't expect Song Ziyan to communicate with him in advance, and Crawford had already taken care of it.

As for the consortium, Shi Lei placed all his hopes on the Eyes of the Night.

The provincial department also quickly received a reply from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stating that it had been in contact with the Australian side and confirmed Shi Lei's words that they had indeed agreed to give them another five days.

This news was quickly reported to the deputy director. The deputy director immediately stood up, held Shi Lei's hand, and said, "Mr. Shi, in fact, from a personal point of view, I already believe that you are not the murderer of this case. However, , please forgive our case handling procedures, the surveillance here must be maintained, even if it is to give the Australians an explanation. Don't worry, I will speed up the progress of the investigation and strive to solve the case within the five days granted by the other party! "

Shi Lei smiled and said: "Those who are clean will be clean. I am not worried about this. It is not something I did, and it cannot be blamed on me. If necessary, I will ask Mr. Scola to follow up." Australia is in contact and hopes that the other side will not push too hard."

Having said that, in fact, Shi Lei no longer had any worries in his heart, and Wei Puti would be able to give the answer in at most ten hours.
