Chapter 284 Cooperation
Before going to the Seaside Boulevard, Xing Ze asked Ellie to drive to the police station. The eldest lady's driving skills are very good, even better than most veteran drivers.
Xing Ze even suspected that those big families did not need to abide by any regulations given by the Office of Prohibition of Abuse of Muggle Items.
Although the support of the Muggle police is limited, it is better than nothing. When necessary, let them evacuate the surrounding crowd.
Xing Ze walked into the police station with ease. If it were in the past, not many people would pay attention to him. But now, both men and women can't help but look in his direction.
Ellie's beautiful figure is too eye-catching. Her magic robe automatically changed into an open-collar white shirt, and her lower body was a pair of ripped jeans. Her light golden long hair was combed into a ponytail and casually thrown behind her.
This casual and capable dress matched Ellie's tall figure, outstanding appearance and elegant temperament, making her look like she walked out of a movie screen.
There is a saying that has never been wrong, good-looking people look good in anything.
"Can't we be low-key?" Xing Ze asked in a low voice.
"It's summer now, Xing Ze." Ellie replied, "You can't let me cover up all over."
"You can wait for me in the car."
"What's the point of doing that?"
The two came to Rayburn's office while talking. The superintendent was sitting in the large armchair answering the phone, and his expression was a little annoyed.
Xing Ze knocked on the door and walked in. Rayburn's eyes stayed on the two of them for a moment, and then motioned them to sit down.
After saying "no comment", the superintendent pressed the microphone back to the base heavily.
"Nosy reporters." Rayburn explained, "like flies."
He looked at Ellie again, and then asked, "Who is this lady?"
"Ellie, partner." Xing Ze replied.
Rayburn nodded and said, "I sent people to the sewer, but nothing has been found yet. As for the car, we found some clues in a parking lot not far away. What we can confirm now is that Frank has two cars.
"A Chevrolet pickup and a Land Rover. The parking lot manager recognized Frank's car, but there was only a Land Rover there, no pickup. As for the other people's cars, you are right, sir.
"The pink lady does have a car, an Aston Martin sports car, which is quite conspicuous. If the parking lot manager is not mistaken. We can track it down.
"As for the two big guys, one of them has a black Ford. It seems that these people are not ordinary people, and each of them has a car. "
In the 1990s, cars were already popular in Britain, but not everyone had a car. Those who could own a new car had to be at least middle class, and nearly half of Frank's team had cars.
Not to mention that one of them was an Aston Martin sports car, but considering that these people might be time travelers, and the historical process of this world was so similar to that of the Earth, it was not impossible to make a fortune by using foresight.
"Sir, I can only hope that you can give me some good news." The superintendent looked at Xing Ze eagerly.
"We just came back from St. Mungo's, unfortunately, there is no good news. The identity of the body is still unidentified. But at least we know what we are dealing with. "
"What is it?"
"Are you sure you want to know, Superintendent?"
Rayben's eyes rolled, and then he shook his head and said, "No, I have enough material for nightmares at night. Is there anything we need to pay attention to?"
"A lot. My advice is to try not to touch this case again, sir. Those things are too dangerous for wizards. "
It was Ellie who answered the superintendent. Her tone was friendly, but her words were very strong.
Rayben did not feel offended. Instead, he said with gratitude: "I see. I asked all the police officers who searched the sewer to come back. So..."
The superintendent spread his hands with frustration on his face, "It seems that I have to find a lot of excuses to deal with the press conference this afternoon."
"Maybe you don't have to attend."
"Huh?"
"We have tracked down some clues, at 1114 Seaside Avenue." Xing Ze said, "You can send some police forces to cooperate with us. Of course, it's just some peripheral work."
"Great." The superintendent said, "I'll let Franklin take some people to join you. Shall we set off now?"
"It would be better if we can find a topographic map of the place."
"It's not difficult, wait a moment. "Rayben said, standing up and walking out of the office.
About ten minutes later, the superintendent came in with Franklin, the chief of the criminal investigation department, detective Yellant and Harris from the gang team.
"Seaside Boulevard?" Franklin shouted after he came in, "There are many celebrities living there. I remember there are three city council members."
Harris curled his lips and said, "No matter who lives there, it can't hinder the investigation."
"Okay, listen to me." The superintendent interrupted his subordinates' quarrel, "It's not completely certain at the moment, so this is not a formal investigation. What we need to do is to arrange personnel at all entrances and exits to prevent accidents. Yellant."
Hearing the shouting, Yellant spread the map in his hand on the table, and then took out a marker to mark near 1114 Seaside Boulevard.
Xing Ze and Ellie leaned over to take a look. They were not interested in the deployment of police forces. They were just remembering the nearby streets, alleys and buildings.
Harris asked in confusion: "We are all on the periphery, and there is still a long way to No. 1114. Who will investigate?"
"Me." Xing Ze said, but quickly added, "And my partner."
"Just the two of you?" Franklin was very suspicious, "Well, I'm not doubting you, agent, but..."
"Don't worry about them, Franklin, they can handle it." Rayben interrupted his subordinate's questioning in time.
Since the superintendent said so, the others didn't say anything more.
After confirming all the deployments, everyone set off one after another.
No. 1114 Seaside Avenue is a very good apartment. In addition to money, you must have a certain social status to sell a house here.
The first to arrive were Xing Ze and Ellie. The two waited in the car for a while, waiting for the plainclothes police to gradually arrive.
"This is my first time working with a Muggle police officer." Ellie held out her hand to Xing Ze.
"What?"
"Give me another piece of candy, the kind you get in the hospital, it tastes pretty good. I need something to refresh myself now."
Xing Ze took out a piece of hard candy from his ring and handed it over, "You never worry about your weight, do you?"
"You really know how to please women, Xing Ze. Okay, they're in place, let's go." Ellie patted Xing Ze's arm, opened the car door and walked out.
