Chapter 938: Private Detective
After such a file, Xiao Yao decided not to go to other casinos at night. After Huo Ran w?w?w?.?ra?n?wenA'com stopped the taxi, Xiao Yao didn't even eat out and returned to the hotel directly.
Xiao Yao's dinner was eaten in the hotel's restaurant. After dinner, Xiao Yao returned to his room and carefully considered the incident he had encountered in the evening.
The young woman said that it was because she saw Xiao Yao coming out of the casino and thought that he had won money, so she framed him, wanted the black vest to beat him, and then asked for some money. This reason sounded barely reasonable at the time, but after thinking about it, Xiao Yao felt that it was not very reasonable.
First of all, Xiao Yao did come out of the casino at that time, but how could those people be sure that Xiao Yao had won money, and how could they be sure that he had a lot of cash on him? Although Xiao Yao had won money in the casino at that time, he did not show too happy and excited expressions when he came out, and outsiders should not be able to judge whether he won or lost in the casino. Judging from the direction in which those people appeared next to Xiao Yao, those people did not follow Xiao Yao out of the casino.
Secondly, not long after Xiao Yao walked to the side of the road, those young people appeared beside him. Judging from this situation, it seems that these young people are deliberately waiting nearby. Since they were gamblers who came out of the casino and wanted to make money from the gamblers, how could they choose Xiao Yao? Although Xiao Yao's appearance did not look as tall and burly as the black vest, Xiao Yao was also 1.86 meters tall after all, with a well-proportioned figure, and he did not look like a thin and weak young man. There are a lot of gamblers who come out of the casino, judging from the appearance alone, Xiao Yao is definitely not a good choice.
Xiao Yao's memory is very strong. After overturning the reason that the young woman said, Xiao Yao carefully recalled what happened and the details of the performance of several young people, and then came to a conclusion: Those young people came for themselves!
Xiao Yao didn't know him, and he definitely hadn't seen those young people before. Those young men rushed at themselves to make trouble for themselves, apparently at the behest of others. As for who instructed him, Xiao Yao couldn't tell, but there was a guess.
During this time, Xiao Yao didn't do anything else except go to the casino to watch the show, and there was nothing special in the middle, so Xiao Yao's only guess was that it was related to the casino.
"If I had been beaten down by that black vest at that time, would that black vest have carried his hair and whispered in his ear something like a threat like not going to so-and-so casino?" Xiao Yao pondered in his heart.
The casinos that Xiao Yao went to were all large casinos that were officially and legally operated. According to normal logic, even if the casino suspects him of counting cards, the normal reaction should be to put Xiao Yao on the casino blacklist and refuse to serve him, and it should not find anyone to beat him! However, many things may not be explained by normal logic. Maybe a certain manager or boss in a certain casino was unhappy when he saw Xiao Yao winning money in the casino, and there was no evidence to determine that Xiao Yao was counting cards, so he privately found a few people to teach and scare Xiao Yao.
But because Xiao Yao beat the other party down, even if the other party had that kind of thought, he couldn't do that. So Xiao Yao's guess is just a guess and can't be determined.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and dialed Tim Haggis.
"Hi Tim, I'm Jan!" Xiao Yao said to Tim Haggis on the other end of the phone.
"Jan, you're in America again?" said Tim Haggis on the other end of the line.
"Again?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Why do I feel that you don't seem to welcome me to the United States?"
"Because every time you come to the U.S., something happens!" said Tim Haggis.
"Nonsense," Xiao Yao said, "I came to the United States three years ago to participate in the celebrity competition, and I came to the United States to make parkour movies in the United States before last, and I came to the United States to promote parkour movies last year, and I never had an accident!"
"But you didn't contact me during those times you came to the United States," said Tim Haggis, "well, what's the matter with me?"
"Have you been free lately?" Xiao Yao said, "I have been traveling in LV recently, if you are free, I invite you to come to LV to play, and I will pay for all the expenses!"
"Wow, big stars are so generous!" Tim Haggis laughed and continued, "I remember the last time you invited me to a show at New York Fashion Week, and there was a robbery, and you shot me indiscriminately at my street, and you were kidnapped!
"Uh~" Xiao Yao choked and said, "Maybe your hunch is right!
"Threat, security threat," Tim Haggis said, "Then you should call the police, or go back to China immediately!"
"I can't call the police, because I just feel like I don't have any evidence!" Xiao Yao said, "I came to LV for a purpose, and I don't want to go back to Huaxia for the time being! β
"Safety, you should have a bodyguard!" Tim Haggis laughed, "I'm an agent, not a bodyguard!"
"But you've been my bodyguard, haven't you?" Xiao Yao said.
"It was a task from my superiors!" Tim Haggis emphasized, suddenly feeling that something was wrong, and asked, "Young, what happened? What the hell are you trying to do?"
"Well, here's the thing..."Xiao Yao told Tim Haggis that he knew how to count cards, went to the casino to play at 21 and winned, and told Tim Haggis all about the troubles and his own guesses that he met this evening.
"Of course, I'm not 100% sure that the people at the casino were behind what happened today, maybe it was just my bad luck and being targeted. After finishing speaking, Xiao Yao added, "But I think that if you are by my side today, whether it is the person instructed by the casino or not, as long as you show the police badge, those people will know the difficulty and retreat, and they will not do it at all." If someone from the casino instructs you, you can also deter them. β
"Jan, you shouldn't be short of money as a big star, right?" Tim Haggis said helplessly after listening to Xiao Yao's narration, "If you just go to the casino to have fun, why do you want to learn card counting? Why can't you get along with the casino? I heard that you are a film producer, and you invested in "Walli" and "Parkour Boy", two movies that are very good at the global box office. I think if you concentrate on making movies, you might be able to make money faster and safer than if you went to a casino and played cards!"
"It's not just about money, I want to fulfill a dream!" Xiao Yao said, "Card counting is not illegal." If the casino follows the rules, determines that I count cards, and blacklists me, then I won't say anything and go back to Huaxia immediately. But if they don't follow the rules, find someone to teach me, threaten me, I don't want to compromise. β
"So you're going to let me be your bodyguard?" said Tim Haggis.
"If you have time!" Xiao Yao said, "If you don't have a case at hand, and you happen to have a holiday off yet, it's better to come to LV to play for a while." Maybe today's incident was not dictated by the casino, and even if it was, it wasn't dangerous for you. Accompany me to the casino during the day, and I go to play with you at night, and it will be considered a vacation. β
"What if I have a case in hand, no vacation, no time?" asked Tim Haggis.
"Then please introduce me to a local agent who happens to be on vacation or can come to LV," Xiao Yao said, "Just say that I asked him to accompany me on vacation, and I will cover all expenses!"
"Hey, you~" said Tim Haggis.
"By the way," Xiao Yao added, "I helped you American police in the kidnapping case of New York Fashion Week." You American police probably don't want me to have another accident in the United States, right? By the way, I once wrote a song about United Airlines. If something happens to me in the U.S., I'm not sure I'll ever write another song about the LV casino or the U.S. police. β
"Alright!" said Tim Haggis helplessly, "I'm free, I'll come over! I'll leave tonight and drive over!"
Tim Haggis is currently based at the FBI's Los Angeles office. Los Angeles is more than 400 kilometers away from Las Vegas. If you take a plane, the flight time plus the waiting time will be about three hours, and it will only take about four hours to get there by car.
"Okay, drive carefully and stay safe!" Xiao Yao said.
Xiao Yao dragged Tim Haggis to Las Vegas because he had no idea of anyone else who might target him other than the casino.
Xiao Yao didn't forget that she had offended a woman in Las Vegas, but he didn't think about Nicky Thompson at all. Because he had no idea that the American superstar would use such methods to avenge his two self-righteous deceptions. In fact, it was Nicky Thompson who started it.
Another room in the same hotel.
"Is this your way?" said Nicky Thompson, tossing his tablet aside and turning to a young white man sitting on the couch, "After waiting so many days, you're going to show me this?"
The young man was Nicky Thompson's friend Matt on the phone, and on the fifth day of Nicky Thompson's arrival in Las Vegas, Matt arrived in Las Vegas after taking care of the matter at hand.
"I didn't expect that either. Matt spread his hands helplessly, "I guess Jan is very good at fighting, but I didn't expect Jan to be so good at fighting! That guy in the black vest is called Tiger, and he is a professional fighter that I hired with the help of my friends! We all know that Jan is not a professional fighter, he is an artist! Who would have thought that he is even more powerful than a professional fighter? We artists in the American entertainment industry are also very capable of fighting, but we can't find a professional fighter, right?"
The professional fighter was in contact with Matt a few days before Matt.
Although the fighter agreed to help Matt teach people, he still has to participate in competitions in the future, and he does not want to get into more serious crimes and affect his future competitions. Not only are there many people on the street, but the surveillance is also relatively complete, so the fighters don't want to shoot on the street. The original plan was for him to take someone to find an opportunity to block Xiao Yao in a remote alley where no one was around, but he didn't expect Xiao Yao to be very careful, except for taking a car when traveling, all the places he walked through were bustling and lively streets. He came for a few days, but he never found a chance to make a move.
Matt arrived in Las Vegas last night, and after understanding the situation, he found a female companion for the fighters and designed such a method for them, so that even if the fighters beat Xiao Yao in public on the street, even if the police found him, they would not get into too much trouble.
Originally, Matt was quite proud of his method, but what he never expected was that the professional fighter was not Xiao Yao's opponent, and he was knocked out by Xiao Yao almost instantly.
"So what now?" asked Nicky Thompson, "is there anything else you can do?"
"Jan has dealt with people with knives, and I don't think even if Tiger is given a weapon, it is not necessarily Young's opponent, unless it is a gun. Or, find ten or eight people and rush up in an open place?" said Matt, "but, either way, it's going to be a big deal, and it's hard to control." I think my wish to beat him up and get angry is going to be frustrated..."
When Matt said this, he turned his head and asked a middle-aged man sitting on the other side of the sofa, "Mr. Wang, you have been following him for several days, do you have any ideas?"
The middle-aged man was Asian, in his forties, of medium build, and ordinary-looking, even in the United States. However, such an unattractive appearance is just right for a private detective, and he is indeed a private detective.
The private investigator came to Las Vegas before the professional fighter. On the night that Nicky Thompson called Matt, Matt asked someone to contact him, and since he lived in Los Angeles, it only took him four hours to drive and he arrived in Las Vegas that night.
Since Nicky Thompson already knew that Xiao Yao was staying in this hotel, the private investigator did not have to bother to find out Xiao Yao's address and whereabouts. After contacting Nicky Thompson, the private detective surnamed Wang squatted in the hotel lobby the next morning and followed Xiao Yao.
In the past few days, Detective Wang has been following Xiao Yao and has also taken some videos of Xiao Yao's actions. The trouble that professional fighter Tiger had with someone to find Xiao Yao was the location of Xiao Yao provided by Detective Wang, and the video that Nicky Thompson watched just now was also filmed by him.
The videos taken by Detective Wang in the past few days have basically been sent to Matt and Nicky Thompson, but it is impossible for Detective Wang to shoot all the behaviors of Xiao Yao that he sees, so he can only shoot selectively. When it comes to understanding Xiao Yao's behavior in the past few days, Detective Wang still knows more and more details than Matt and Nicky Thompson.
His daily activities these days are relatively simple, mainly going out to the casino, and occasionally going to the show or going to the bar in the evening. Detective Wang analyzed, "But I found that he went to regular casinos, and never went to any illegal underground casinos." In addition, I found that his activity routes are all more lively and prosperous places, and he does not go to remote streets and alleys with few people at all. I think he was very careful, and it would be difficult to find someone to ambush him, otherwise Mr. Tiger wouldn't have been able to find a chance to do it for a few days. β
"Mr. Matt's idea is very good, but unfortunately Mr. Tiger can't beat him!" Detective Wang said this, glanced at Matt, and continued, "He moves so carefully, and he is so capable of fighting, if you don't want to make a big deal and can't find someone much more powerful than Mr. Tiger, I don't think you can teach him physically!"
"He's so good at fighting, and so careful in his actions?" said Matt, a little puzzled.
"Because he's a star!" Detective Wang said without any puzzled expression, glancing at Nicky Thompson next to him.
"By the way, he is a star, and he is still a star with a good image!" Matt slapped his palm, "Is there anything that can be done in terms of morality and public opinion? You just said that he has been to a bar at night, has he experienced ons or anything like that? The Chinese media reported that he has a girlfriend, and he has successfully proposed to his girlfriend!"
"Matt, who told me he was very loyal to his fiancΓ©e in the first place?" said Nicky Thompson, looking at Matt.
"But after all, he came to LV alone, and his girlfriend was not around. "And he's getting married! He's not interested in you, not necessarily in other women." β
"Hey, what do you mean?" said Nicky Thompson angrily.
"I mean, you're a big star, and he knows you're a big star, so he probably wouldn't dare to have anything to do with you," Matt explained, "and if it's an ordinary woman, it may not be." He didn't know we had a private investigator to keep an eye on him!"
