Richard sat in the car, looking out the car window with a gloomy face at the burning Continental Hotel. At this time, the car door opened, and his fat man in a suit got in with some difficulty.
"Head, according to my informant's report, not long after Edward King entered the hotel, all the doors and windows of the hotel were suddenly closed. Not long after, there were faint gunshots inside. Then there was a sudden violent explosion, and finally it became It’s like this.”
Richard asked coldly: "Did you see anyone escaping from inside?"
The fat man shook his head.
"Then...has anyone seen the observer from the United States?"
"No." Fatty said hesitantly, "If he was also in the hotel, looking at the situation, it would be absolutely impossible for him to survive."
Richard snorted and was about to speak when his phone suddenly vibrated. He took out the message he had just received, shook his head and said, "Let's go, this place is no longer under our control."
The fat man was stunned: "If you don't leave such a big case to us, who can we give it to?"
"The Americans went crazy and lodged a solemn protest with us through the embassy. This matter is no longer an ordinary case, it has been elevated to a diplomatic incident." Richard frowned, "But the Caesar Hotel case is still followed up by us. Yes. Okay, has there been any progress in catching mice?"
The fat man was a little frightened and said: "Sorry, sir, I haven't found it yet."
"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash." Richard gritted his teeth and said, "I started checking him since he entered Paris. He didn't stay in a hotel, so there must be other places to stay. Find it out for me!"
At this time, the sky was already gray and bright. Liu Jian got a tattered long scarf from nowhere and wrapped his face tightly. He used water to wash away as much blood and dirt as possible from his body, limping like a poor homeless man.
Breaking off the necklace around his neck, he found a small piece of paper hidden inside. When he opened it, it read a simple two-line text: "Central Subway Station, A12,".
This is a backup location prepared by the family in advance for Liu Jian to prevent accidents.
Liu Jian immediately understood that the note referred to the storage box at the central subway station, and the number was the password to open the locker.
Although he is not too far from the central subway station now, due to his current physical condition and the need to evade police arrest, it was already broad daylight by the time Liu Jian arrived at the subway station.
Liu Jian lowered his head and hunched his back, and tried to keep a low profile as he came to the subway locker. Following the instructions on the note, he found the A12 locker.
But as luck would have it, there were two subway security guards standing next to the A12 lockers, with batons hanging from their waists, leaning on the lockers and chatting away.
Liu Jian took a deep breath, limped forward, gestured babblingly, and pointed at the locker, as if he was mute.
The two subway security guards glanced at Liu Jian with disgust, covered their noses and hurriedly hid aside.
Seeing the security guard leaving, Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to enter the password. But with a crisp "click" sound, not only did the a12 locker open, but the door of another locker not far away also popped open.
What's even more coincidental is that the location where the two security guards hid was right next to the locker.
Looking at the empty a12 locker, Liu Jian instantly understood that what he really needed was actually in the other locker.
But looking at the two curious security guards, Liu Jian felt that he must have had Mercury retrograde recently, otherwise how could he be so unlucky.
Looking at Liu Jian who was a little hesitant, the two security guards knocked on the locker door that opened a crack and said loudly: "Hey, you opened this too, right? Come here and see what's inside?"
Liu Jian limped over. Under the supervision of two security guards, he reached out and slowly opened the cabinet door. Then, the eyes of all three people, including Liu Jian, widened.
A cabinet full of weapons and ammunition!
"You..."
Before the security guard could react, Liu Jian suddenly appeared. He first hit one security guard in the vital part with his elbow, then grabbed the other security guard's head and slammed it against the locker.
In a moment, two security guards were knocked unconscious by him.
But this has attracted the attention of other people. Many passers-by looked here, and some people started to call the police.
Liu Jian had no choice but to turn around and leave quickly without taking the weapons in the locker.
Besides, in this situation, what's the use of holding a weapon?
In less than half an hour, Richard led his people to the subway station. The two security guards had been rescued, and after their descriptions, Richard was basically certain that the person who knocked them down was Liu Jian.
After looking at the weapons in the locker, Richard turned to his men and said in a deep voice: "Obviously, that guy is desperate, otherwise he wouldn't risk coming here to get the weapons. After this incident, he will definitely find a place Hide, so you immediately start here as the center and search outward bit by bit. Do you hear me clearly?"
Before he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. Richard took a look, and the expression on his face changed drastically. After answering the phone, he said in a flattering tone: "Mr. Congressman, this is Richard... Okay... Okay... I understand, I can rush over... Don't worry, in my heart Countless."
After hanging up the phone, Richard immediately yelled at his subordinates viciously: "The ambassador of China already knows about this matter and has brought it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I will handle this matter now, and you go arrest that guy. We must not let that guy send the video out, do you understand me?"
In the office of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, a member of Congress and the Minister of Foreign Affairs said with a smile to the Chinese ambassador sitting opposite: "Please rest assured, your ambassador, we will definitely handle this matter in a fair, open and just manner."
While he was talking, a secretary walked in quickly and whispered a few words to the Foreign Secretary. The minister smiled and said: "Just in time, Inspector Richard, who is responsible for investigating this case, has arrived. Inspector Richard is our best police officer in Paris, and he is also responsible for the Caesar Hotel case. I believe that with him here, this case will definitely be investigated. It’s clear…”
Before he finished speaking, Richard walked in holding a cardboard box and bowed to the Foreign Minister. The minister stood up and introduced them one by one with a smile: "This is the Chinese Ambassador to France."
Richard put the carton on the desk, shook hands with the ambassador gently, and said loudly: "Mr. Ambassador, the facts of the Caesar Hotel case are very clear. Everything was done by your people, that is, the man named Liu Jian. . At that time, the witness was threatened. When we rushed to rescue him, Liu Jian broke in in advance and shot the witness to death."
The ambassador narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Inspector Richard, is there any evidence for what you said?"
"Of course, this is the pistol he used when committing the crime. Only you use this kind of pistol, right?"
Richard took out the pistol in a plastic bag from the carton, let the ambassador look at it, and then took out a pile of documents.
"This is the testimony of an on-site witness, and during his subsequent escape, Liu Jian killed and injured many of our police officers, fled the hotel, and is now missing."
Standing behind the ambassador, a silent middle-aged man suddenly reached for the document. Richard quickly put the pistol and documents back into the carton and looked at the other party with disdain: "This is evidence, but it cannot be touched casually until the case is closed."
