Bab 33: Chapter 33: Money exchanges hands

'Let me go over it, to make sure I've heard everything correctly. You think this company, Gem Techtronics, is running a money-laundering business. You say it's in the process of moving its manufacturing to Taiwan to give it a safer base to go into these activities in a big way. You think that at least one of the partners, Geoff Davies, was eliminated because he was squeamish about getting rid of the unwanted new blood, Alexander Patton, who threatened to expose the whole operation. You're positive the present managing director is central, you think this William Hall is also involved, you have a bad feeling about Worldwide Products and its American owners, and you are also suspicious of this Noel Valentine, who works and plays with Hall, although you'd prefer I skirt around her. Is that it? And you want me to get evidence of all this for you?'

'Wouldn't you be better off with the police?'

'No.'

'Mind if I ask why?'
