Chapter 73: Phone Call
Thresh explained his conditions and said, "Flag Liang Xi'an and put him in jail for two years, and I will return all your things to you."
Isa asked back: "Do you have a grudge against this kid?"
Thresh said, "You disappointed me. You didn't arrest him for the ten thousand pounds. I want to do what I want to do, and I must do it well. Twelve uncopied hard drives in exchange for Liang Xi's two years in prison. I believe it should be easy for you to fabricate a crime. Put a bag of flour in his car, and he happened to be stopped and searched, or something like that."
Isa asked, "What if I don't agree?"
Thresh said, "I am a helpful person. I am not only willing to help you, but also your enemies. Besides, I can't think of any reason why you disagree. Liang Xi is just an unknown detective. To put it bluntly, if he were to die on the street now, few people would feel sad for him. I am a person of integrity. After you arrest Liang Xi and file charges, I will give him six hard drives. After Liang Xi is convicted, I will give him another six hard drives."
Issa asked, "If you hate him so much, why don't you kill him?"
Thresh said: "I don't kill people. I am against violence."
Isa laughed: "Haha, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard."
Thresh said, "Plus the laser bug we got from MI5."
Isa finally stopped laughing. It was obvious that Thresh had eavesdropped on the conversation between her and Mark. The eavesdropper was only 50 meters away from her or Mark. Of course, after such a long conversation, the eavesdropper should have moved away.
Isa said, "You want to win over Liang Xi? We arrested an innocent civilian, and you saved him from jail at the right time. He was full of despair about justice and was grateful for your rescue, so he joined your team. Not only that, you also want to use him to mock judicial justice. At the same time, you haven't forgotten that Liang Xi has a friend named Bobby Clement. Once we frame Liang Xi, we may have to fight with Clement's legal team. Regardless of the outcome, you can just watch the fun from the sidelines."
Isa said, "You could have discussed this with Mark, but Mark couldn't resist such temptation. You chose me, which means I'm your target. You want to control everything and everyone."
Thresh did not deny it. "Yes, that's the situation. You must be thinking that you won't lose to me. Come on, let's play a game. If I lose, I surrender. If you lose, you have to spend a night with me. Only if you agree to my conditions, you will have the opportunity to arrest me."
Isha replied: "I refuse."
Thresh said, "I forgot to tell you the consequences of refusing. Mark will receive a deal: disband the unformed Blade, arrest you for treason, and publish your photo in the media. You are a player now, and I am God. You cannot refuse to play the game God has set."
Isa was so angry that she couldn't help but spit out blood. This was the first time she had encountered such a weirdo. She was almost confused. What kind of criminal was this? What did he want to do?
At this time, the doorbell rang. Fiona looked at the surveillance camera and asked in surprise: "Liang Xi? What is he doing here?"
Because the base was burned, Blade's office was temporarily moved to Building 10 opposite the base, where special police were on duty.
When Thresh heard Liang Xi coming, he had the same question: "Fuck , he's everywhere. If it's convenient, can I have a word with him later?"
Isa looked at Fiona, who shook her head. The crappy equipment she had was not as good as Thresh's, and she couldn't catch up with him. Isa said, "Okay."
Fiona stood up and signed: He knows me, I'm going to the third floor.
Isa nodded, picked up the phone and talked to Liang Xi: "Who is this?"
Liang Xi said: "My name is Liang Xi, I'm looking for Robert." He stood upright, like a model student.
Isa asked, "How did you know Robert was here?"
Liang Xi replied: "I guessed."
…
Yisha went to the first floor to open the door and invited Liang Xi in. Liang Xi looked around the first floor. It was a very ordinary residential layout. The kitchen was at the end, the dining table was placed in the middle, and there was a small living room at the entrance. This kind of house has limited width, but due to the height and length, even the small living room feels very spacious.
Liang Xi reached out and shook hands with Isa: "Didn't you ask for advice?"
Isa replied, "Isa."
"Hello, Isa." Liang Xi asked, "Are you Robert's boss?"
Isa asked, "Why can't it be a colleague?"
Liang Xi replied with a polite smile: "I guessed. It's like this. I happened to go to the nearby library to borrow books, and I just remembered the translation fee Robert mentioned the day before yesterday. Protect the earth and live a low-carbon life. Since I'm nearby, I'll come by to pick up the bill and avoid troubling the postman." Today I did go to the library, but it's better to borrow books than to buy them. The second thing is to see if my guess about Blade's station is correct. The most important thing is to get the money. After Blade was burned by a fire, it's still a problem who to ask for the bill. Liang Xi will not watch the cooked duck fly away.
Watching the news on TV yesterday, Liang Xi guessed from the news footage that it was the gang that had attacked again. Normal criminals would not use cheating . Thinking of the possibility that the other party might challenge Blade, Liang Xi guessed that the fire point was Blade's base. In the news footage shot by the helicopter, Liang Xi saw a suspected sniper on the roof of Building 10. Although it was speculation and conjecture, it was related to the British pound, so he had to press the doorbell anyway. Anyway, there would be no punishment if he guessed wrong.
Isa didn't know how to write the bill, so she asked, "How do I write it?"
Liang Xi came prepared. He took out his phone and opened the photo. It was a bill written by Liu Zhen. The bill was an official document, which filled in the nature of the work, working hours, and finally signed by Liu Zhen. This document would be sent to the administrative department of the police department for review and then sent to the finance department. The finance department would remit the remuneration to Liang Xi's account and mail a copy of the bill to Liang Xi.
Liang Xi deliberately enlarged the number “24 hours” in the photo.
Isa was a little embarrassed: "Our department is a preliminary construction, and we don't have this official document."
"It's okay, as long as you are okay." It sounds like Liang Xi is concerned about the casualties of Blade. In fact, what he meant was: as long as you are not dead and the department is still there, the money will come to your account sooner or later. Liang Xi said goodbye: "I'm leaving first, sorry to bother you."
"Wait a moment." Isa said, "I'm talking to a suspect. He said he wants to talk to you. Is that convenient?"
Liang Xi looked at his phone and asked, "Is it timed?"
Isa paused for two seconds and immediately said, "Remember, remember, I'll ask someone to deliver the documents later."
Liang Xi took Isa's phone and asked, "Turn on speaker?"
Isa nodded, Liang Xi turned on the speaker and asked, "Who is it?"
Thresh said: "My name is Thresh."
Liang Xi asked: "And then?"
Thresh said: "I am..."
Liang Xi said, "You are the stupid bird that I chased for ten blocks, right? Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who would be so bored as to want to talk to me."
Thresh spoke after a while: "Isa, now you know why I want to kill him, right?"
Yisha spread her hands, and Liang Xi was startled: "You want to kill me? This doesn't seem to be in line with your style."
Thresh was curious: "Why?"
Liang Xi said: "From your behavior in the cemetery, you suspected that the cemetery was a trap, but you couldn't control your curiosity. In this case, you should at least bring a pistol, but you didn't. Therefore, I judge that you don't seem like a person who likes to kill."
Thresh: “Thank you.”
Liang Xi said: "You are just a fool who thinks he is very smart but is actually very boring."
Thresh: "Please be polite when speaking to me."
