Chapter 1177 Three People Are Dead
Here, the investigation of the case is still continuing, but Shi Lei no longer has to worry about it. He only needs to wait for the news from Wei Puti, and then put the news on Crawford and tell the police to let them find the three thugs. The case should be able to get to the bottom of things.
What Shi Lei needs to worry about is where the ferryman is now. Although the Eye of Dark Night has great magical powers, it seems to be blind to a single point like the ferryman.
There is no way, the ferryman knows too much about the operating mechanism of the Eye of the Dark Night, and he can completely avoid all investigations of the Eye of the Dark Night against him.
If possible, if Shi Lei leaves the problem of tracing the ferryman's whereabouts to the domestic police, the effect may be better than that of the Eye of the Dark Night.
This is not because the Eyes of Darkness are not powerful enough, but simply because the Ferryman is their blind spot.
Shi Lei called Huo Chengdong and expressed his efforts for the work he had done.
Huo Chengdong said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, although you and I have only a few contacts, I believe that you are not a person who would kill someone because of a work dispute. I also met Lao Dai, and I also hope that the cause of his death will be revealed. The real truth comes out. Although Lao Dai has various shortcomings, our relationship was quite good in the early years, until he became obsessed in these years. Moreover, I played a role in this matter. It’s also very small, mainly because your friends in the UK helped a lot.”
Shi Lei seemed to understand the meaning of Huo Chengdong's words and said: "If there is a chance, I can introduce Mr. Huo and Mr. Scola to each other. He is also a collector who has considerable research on Chinese culture, especially calligraphy and painting. I think, There should be a lot of things in common between you and him.”
Huo Chengdong laughed and said: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Shi first. If Mr. Shi is willing to develop your Qixuan bicycles to Australia, I think we can do some cooperation in this regard."
"That's great. With Mr. Huo's help, I think if Qixuan wants to open up the Australian market one day, it will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
Huo Chengdong smiled and said: "However, I heard that the British side seems to have something to do with the lady who had an accident in her family at Bai Lao's birthday party last time. I don't know much about politics, but I think if Mr. Shi If you have time, you might as well ask about it. There may be some hidden dangers here.”
Of course he was talking about Song Ziyan.
Huo Chengdong said that he didn't understand politics, which was just a self-effacing statement. In fact, he saw through the problem behind this matter at a glance, so he kindly reminded Shi Lei.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei also felt a little worried. Indeed, Song Ziyan had promised not to have contact with any foreign politicians, but now he was dealing with Crawford for his own sake.
Although Shi Lei knew that Song Ziyan wanted to repay his kindness and didn't care so much, it might indeed have an impact on Song Ziyan.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Lei did not dare to call the old man directly, so he called his eldest daughter.
The old man's eldest daughter now holds a position in a neighboring province. She answered Shi Lei's call as soon as he called.
Moreover, she took the initiative and said, "Want to ask me about Song Ziyan?"
Shi Lei thought to himself that the news spread quickly enough, and it was already here at this moment.
"Sister, my Uncle Song contacted Mr. Scola this time because he felt that I was kind to him and there might be problems on my side. He didn't want to sit idly by and ignore it. You..."
"Okay, you don't have to explain this to me. He is abroad and is subject to a certain degree of surveillance after all. If he had been in contact with Crawford a long time ago, there would be no discussion and research now."
Shi Lei was stunned and said hurriedly: "Discussing research? What does this mean?"
"The superiors didn't expect that Song Ziyan had such a good personal relationship with Crawford, and that Crawford was actually willing to communicate with the Australian authorities for you. At first, the reaction from the superiors was to let Song Ziyan return to China immediately. What would he face after returning, so I don't need to More to say. However, my father has put forward a different view. Don't worry. We are discussing this matter now to see if the hidden danger can be turned into an advantage. Maybe you don't know yet? He has already won the Labor Party’s intra-party election and has become the new leader of the British Labor Party.”
When Shi Lei heard the news, he was stunned. Then, he immediately understood why the old man put forward different opinions and why the higher-ups started discussions and research.
"Are you saying that you want to use the relationship between Uncle Song and Mr. Scola to establish a better relationship between our country and the United Kingdom?"
The other end of the phone did not give Shi Lei any answer. She just said: "This matter is very complicated, so you should not get involved too much. However, if necessary, you must also be responsible for communicating with the Scola family." Of course, the final result depends on how much confidence the authorities have in Crawford being the next British Prime Minister. The result may be good or bad. Don't think too much about the good side, but don't think too bad either. "
How could Shi Lei not think on the bright side? After all, this was related to whether Song Ziyan would still have freedom in his future life.
He smiled and said, "Sister, don't hide it from me. Just tell me. If the result develops for the better, will it be possible for me, Uncle Song, to be reinstated?"
"The officer was reinstated? What do you think? It was a disciplinary decision to let him go."
"Then he can't be allowed to communicate with the future Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in a private capacity, right? This is not equitable!"
The other end of the phone laughed, and she said: "You kid... Forget it, let me tell you my personal speculation. It is absolutely impossible for the official to be reinstated, but it is very likely that Song Ziyan will take up the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Shi Lei knew what was going on, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister. Oh, no, thank you, chief."
"You are so careless. You haven't cleared your suspicion of murder yet, and you still have time to care about other people's affairs."
"I didn't kill anyone. This matter has nothing to do with me. The innocent will be innocent."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei felt relieved and waited for news from Wei Bodhi with more peace of mind.
At midnight, Wei Bodhi finally called.
"The three people are dead..."
With one sentence from Wei Bodhi, Shi Lei's heart had fallen to the bottom.
However, this was also expected. After all, if these three people were still alive, with the power of the Dark Night Eye, it would be impossible to find their location only now.
"Where is the body?"
"On the mountain behind the community, I will send the exact location to your phone. I have also made a complete plan for you on how to tell the police. I will send it to you later, and you can refer to it before handing it over to the police."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Bodhi's message came quickly, and at the same time, a complete set of plans was designed.
Shi Lei called the deputy director according to Wei Bodhi's plan.
"Mr. Scola got a message from the consortium after communicating with the consortium. The three people originally planned to return to the villa after leaving the hospital. They had contacted the consortium. However, the contact was interrupted when they approached the villa."
