Tokyo Police

v10 Chapter 21: Mediterranean Shipping

"They told me to drive to Roden Street in Holloway, and they said it would be my business after that, and I really don't know anything..."

"Mr. Oliver, we know you have a criminal record, and I think you'd better tell us everything you know, or you'll never get out of it for the rest of your life. I promise, I'll do everything I can. The way, send you to the filthiest prison in the UK, there are **** gays everywhere, and I will make them take good care of you..."

A police officer who looked a little grumpy suddenly bent down and whispered threats in Oliver's ear.

"I swear, I've told you everything I know, I really don't know what's on the car..."

Everything that happened in the interrogation room was watched by Osborn next door. In fact, he had long expected that the truck driver would not report anything.

The cargo was destined for Holloway, north of London, not far from Arsenal's home stadium, the Emirates Stadium. Except for a small number of commercial facilities, most of the surrounding are ordinary houses. However, Osborn actually knew in his heart that Holloway should not be the real destination. Because the employer may at any time notify the delivery driver of the new location by telephone.

According to Oliver himself, he found this deal from a local forum. The only requirement from the employer is that the driver cannot be too curious. As for the remuneration, a 30% deposit is paid first, and the driver can get the rest of the remuneration only after the event is completed. All remuneration is fully paid in cash. Oliver said he got his first payment from a locker at the station. The police have found the money from Oliver's home, and apart from part of it was squandered by himself, the rest of the cash was seized as evidence by the police.

According to Oliver's recollection, when he got the money, it was wrapped in a Burger King paper bag. But the bag has been thrown away by him. As for the remaining banknotes, the police did not find anything particularly useful.

Osborn looked at the subordinate Alex who had nothing next to him, shook his head helplessly, and then left the room.

"Sir, you..."

A subordinate who followed him saw Osborn's reaction and just hurriedly asked the superior for the next arrangement.

"Tell Alex to take a break, it looks like we can't get anything out of this driver!"

Osborn explained to his subordinates, then closed the door and walked straight to his office.

A cup of warm black tea, mixed with a considerable proportion of milk and sugar, plus a small snack, Osborn's slightly irritable mood finally got some comfort.

Osborn knew very well in his heart that the case in his hand was an incomplete one, and Dover was just one of the stops in this human trafficking operation. Goods entering the UK from the port of Dover can be sent to London or other countries on the European continent. British police just happened to find out about this crime.

This case is very special, that is, the victims include both Asian women from Southeast Asia and European girls from Russia and Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, there are two victims from the United States. . According to the previous advice given by Interpol, the human smuggling business in the above-mentioned areas belongs to different regional criminal organizations. The three Asian women missing in Bangkok are believed to have been kidnapped by the Southeast Asian Snake Organization, while the four Russian girls who were killed are likely to be the cargo of the Russian mafia. In addition, the Albanian gang is likely to be the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the two Romanian girls. As for the remaining two American girls, Osborne even suspected that this might be a kidnapping case committed by two lone wolves.

Why do so many criminal organizations suddenly partner in human trafficking? What's the secret behind this? Osborn was puzzled by this.

Now there is another clue in front of Osborne, that is, the Mediterranean Shipping Company, which is responsible for transporting the cargo to the United Kingdom. But this company is also not so simple, because the connection between the company and the Italian mafia is almost an open secret in Europe. Unless the British police have sufficient evidence, it is impossible to compel MSC to do anything for the police.

"Sir, may I come in?"

Just as Osborn was holding black tea and thinking about the case, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door. As soon as Osborn heard the sound, he knew that the person standing outside the door was Ollie, the truck driver who was helping the interrogation just now. Buddha's Alex.

"come in!"

With Osborn's response, Alex gently opened the door and walked in.

"What's the matter, Alex!"

Seeing Alex's somewhat frustrated expression, Osborn couldn't help but asked with some concern.

"Sir, I would like to apply to you to initiate an investigation into the Mediterranean Shipping Company. The truck driver has already told everything he knows. Even if we torture him, he can't provide more clues!"

"Alex~lightnovelpub.net~ I want to think about it again!"

Osborn frowned upon hearing Alex's suggestion. How could such a thing be so simple. The interests of the Italian Mafia are involved behind Mediterranean Shipping, and it is the second largest shipping company in the world. Such a behemoth is definitely not something that the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police can touch casually. Several parts of the entire Mediterranean freight trade are monopolized by this shipping company. If they only got the support of the Mafia, can they develop to this level?

"However, the container containing the bodies was offloaded from a Mediterranean Shipping Company ship. And the container itself has been modified. If it weren't for the failure of the exhaust system, the girls would probably still be alive. Modified container How could those people smuggling groups be able to do this kind of thing without the people of the shipping company as their inner responders?"

"Alex, of course I understand these things! But it's not up to you and me to investigate such a big matter of Mediterranean Shipping. I have already submitted an application to my superiors, and only with the approval of my superiors can we investigate this case against the Mediterranean Sea. Shipping to investigate. We can't do anything but wait until a formal order is given!"

Osborn reluctantly told his subordinates this embarrassing fact.
