"It's a bit messy, but it was just cleaned up this morning." Walking into Doug's office, it is only about ten square meters, and there is still some dust on the shutters. I even suspect that this place might have been a waste storage room or something.
Sure enough, as soon as I guessed this in my heart, Doug said lightly: "I like quietness. This room is facing away from the street, and it is the quietest room on this floor. Before I moved in today, it was still a storage room. Depot of cleaning supplies."
He pointed at the chairs and said with a smile: "Fortunately, these chairs have been wiped clean. Please sit down, both of you."
Only Yang Wei and I walked into the office. We left both Hammer and Hansen outside. That's what Doug meant, and he seemed to want to have a "good" chat with us.
However, from the clues in his words, I also heard a little trick.
This Doug just came to Vancouver today... His position is a temporary government dispatcher who is responsible for coordinating and resolving the riot.
Just came today...
Then this guy is not simple.
He just came today, but he gave up the gang leaders in the whole room, and came to talk to me alone, and seeing that he is very confident and calm, it seems that he knows me very well... The only explanation is that although this time What happened was sudden, but in a short period of time, this Doug has already mastered a large amount of intelligence and information, including his understanding of me!
It wasn't until later that I learned something about this Doug from Yang Wei.
This guy is pretty much a queer guy in all of Canada. His nickname is "Big Dog" because everyone thinks his nose is more sensitive than a dog! Especially when it comes to criminal cases organized by the underworld, this guy can almost be said to be a detective to solve the case! He has been involved in nearly a hundred cases in this line of work, and the detection rate is 95%!
He is not only a magical detective who solves cases, not only Sherlock Holmes, but also an expert in social relations. He is good at coordinating various relationships and finding breakthroughs in chaotic and complicated situations, because he has lived through social psychology. I have a degree in social and public relations, and I have been a psychologist for two years, and I have worked as a lawyer and negotiation expert for a short time, etc...
"What I didn't expect was that the Clover family would actually intervene in Vancouver's affairs." Doug was very polite to Yang Wei, but there was a hint of probing in his tone.
"You don't have to be surprised. I don't represent my family. I'm just a personal good friend with Mr. Chen Yang. Of course, if something happens, I will fully support Mr. Chen Yang in my own name. .” Yang smiled.
Doug took a deep look at me, then walked to the side with a smile, took two cups of coffee from the coffee machine, and said with a smile: "I don't like having a secretary with me, so I did everything myself. "Handed me a cup of coffee in a paper cup, he sat in front of me, his expression tightened, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Chen Yang, I would like to have an open and honest conversation with you on some current issues. "
He pointed to the room and said, "You can rest assured that I don't have any bugs here. Our conversation today is purely informal and will not leave any records."
Well, this guy can still be a man, at least he doesn't like to put on airs like other official staff.
I nodded. Doug's first sentence left a good impression on me. He smiled and said, "Norton is old."
"Mr. Norton has served the police for more than 20 years. He has made outstanding achievements, has deep qualifications, and has solved many major cases. It is a pity that he is now old... and he has a lot of concerns when doing things." He said. He said with a smile: "Norton was called 'Iron Mask' in the past, and his behavior in the past was indeed very strong, worthy of this title, but in the past two years, he has become a little too weak. Of course, we can't really blame him. After all, at his age, he will retire in a year and a half. Before retirement, it is normal to seek stability. But his mentality makes his hands too soft. It’s how things got to this tricky situation.”
Yang Wei and I glanced at each other, and Doug took a sip of his coffee, then looked at me: "Mr. Chen Yang, Mr. Fang from your side, are you still in the hospital now?"
"Yes, I also want to thank the police for sending someone to protect him." I said lightly.
"Well." Doug didn't pay attention to my words, but continued: "Before I came, I carefully analyzed the occurrence of this incident. It can be said that many people think that the gang riots started two days ago. , but I feel that this riot started earlier.
The big circle is one of the important forces in the underworld in Vancouver. Everyone knows the identity of Baye Fang. In the past, in the police files, the big circle had as many cases as two file rooms. The head of such an organization was attacked by someone, but judging from what happened to the organization that you controlled a large circle afterwards, I really became very interested in you. "
"oh?"
Doug shrugged his shoulders. This is a typical Western action. His expression was very calm, as if he was not negotiating with me on behalf of the police at all, but just a chat between friends.
There is no doubt that this gesture of his is very effective, at least it does not arouse my disgust like that Norton.
"You are very young, Mr. Chen Yang." Doug said with a smile: "I have studied many organizations, and my job is to deal with underworld crimes. Among all the files I have studied, it is rare for you to control at such a young age There are very few precedents of an organization... Moreover, without exception, in all other cases where young leaders are in power, the character and age of the leader often determine the style of doing things of this organization... For example, the young people's Impulsive, aggressive, fierce, etc... Especially this time... After reading the information about what happened, I think the most important mistake of the Vancouver police is that they ignored you too much."
My expression didn't change.
"Well, from any point of view, Mr. Fang of your organization was attacked, so you, as his temporary successor, after taking office, based on your age, your status, and the nature of your organization... I think that from a normal Judging from the development trend, it should not be the Iranians, Arabs, or Indians in the conference room who are now playing the main role in this riot... The one who should make the most noise should be you, and Now the big circle under your leadership! You have the most reason to make a fuss. But what puzzles me is that your subsequent actions make me very surprised. You first unified the interior quickly, and then calmed down the subordinates. Emotions, you even gave up a lot of peripheral territory, and then restrained your subordinates... The big circle, which has always been strong, didn't fire a single shot and saw no one in this gangster riot in Vancouver... This really doesn't suit you The age and the style of doing things that the big circle has always done."
"And then?" I laughed.
"Then, after careful analysis, I came up with two possibilities...the only two possibilities I can think of so far." Doug's tone was still sincere.
I smiled, with a relaxed expression, and took out a cigarette: "Can I?"
"Oh, please." Doug shrugged.
I lit a cigarette and looked at him: "Please continue, I'm also very curious about the two possibilities you finally analyzed."
"Okay, the first possibility is..." Doug changed his tone, fixed his eyes on me, and said slowly: "The assassination and attack of Fang Baye in your organization was done by you! You killed him for the sake of your own position. Killing your own leader, this kind of thing in the underworld organization, there are eight hundred if not one thousand, so it is not uncommon. If you did this by yourself, then after you have successfully ascended to the position now, because of your mood, you also know that the murderer is actually You yourself, of course, will not retaliate against others."
I laughed, Yang Wei also smiled, she pursed her lips: "Well, very good imagination."
Doug sighed: "Unfortunately, my guess has a fatal flaw, that is, after the assassination failed, Mr. Fang did not die on the spot, but was admitted to the hospital. During the days when Mr. Fang was lying in the hospital , you had too many chances to kill him, but he still lived till now, and... It seems that according to this logic, you should be more active now. I think if you are the one who assassinated Mr. Fang, then If you are smart, you should be at the forefront now, and let everyone believe that it was the Vietnamese who hurt Mr. Fang... so that your position can be more secure."
I was still laughing: "Not bad... Fortunately, I am not the murderer, otherwise, with your analysis ability, I am afraid I have been exposed."
"You're too modest." Doug smiled, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes: "I admire you very much now... Since I have basically rejected the first possibility subjectively, then the second possibility Possibilities are already filling my head..." He deliberately paused, observed my face, and then continued: "In view of your performance and the reaction of your subordinates are too abnormal. Moreover, your age, Based on your previous reputation, it seems that you are not a person who is afraid of getting into trouble. However, it seems that you have ulterior motives to deliberately tolerate and keep a low profile under such circumstances. But at this most delicate moment, such a riot broke out... Mr. Chen Yang , isn’t this kind of coincidence very interesting?”
He winked at me.
"I have a very interesting habit... that is, if I start to doubt an object, I will try to treat myself as that object, and then analyze, if it were me, in such a situation, what would I do, what I need most What... this kind of analysis is very, very effective... And guess what, I tried to think of myself as you at the time, and what was the result of the analysis?"
"What?" I said flatly.
"Disturb everyone's attention and break the balance of the situation! Then... fish in troubled waters!" Doug said slowly, word by word: "This is the conclusion I need most after thinking for a long time from your perspective!"
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped…
I poker-faced, then raised my hands and started clapping.
