Chapter 674: Headless Case
Running back to the door of the elevator room almost like the wind, Matthew first cautiously glanced inside, and saw that the small elevator room was as empty as before, so he rushed over and pressed the elevator button, and the elevator he had just taken was still parked on this floor, and the elevator door opened instantly.
He stuck to the wall, waited for the elevator door to open, secretly glanced at it, and made sure that there was no one, then he dodged into the elevator, pressed the first floor where the hotel lobby was located, and quickly closed the elevator.
The bright red letters on the black body could be a prank, or the revenge of the insiders he had offended, but it could also be that someone was really crazy enough to kill him.
Matthew cherishes his life very much, and he also cherishes the glamorous life now, so he has only enjoyed it for a few years?
Imagine standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of Horner Manor looking down at Beverly Hills, with all the forest in sight, before he knocked down a few trees?
Hiding on the side of the elevator, Matthew raised his vigilance and blotted up his spirits, although two or three ordinary people couldn't beat him at all, but he knew very well that what kind of free fighting, unlimited fighting, Muay Thai or kung fu and the like were all scum in front of hot weapons.
No matter how good the body is, it can't stop a bullet.
The elevator came to the first floor, opened with a ding, and the sound of footsteps sounded.
Matthew didn't go out immediately, but was ready to make a move, and in a small space like an elevator, he had a certain ability to resist even in the face of people with guns.
Just when his nerves were at their tightest, an old man on crutches walked in, glanced at Matthew with surprise, coughed a few times, and his whole body trembled, as if he might fall apart at any moment.
Looking at the old man, Matthew smiled slightly, flashed out of the elevator, walked into the lobby, and was slightly relieved to see several hotel security personnel.
What the hell is this!
Matthew thought of the bright red words on the Mercedes SUV, sighed, but did not let his guard down, and then came to the hotel lobby manager.
He has been to the Four Seasons Hotel many times, and this lobby manager is also an acquaintance.
He quickly explained the matter, and the lobby manager's face changed, first saying sorry, and then picking up the walkie-talkie to notify the security department.
Before the lobby manager could finish his words, the hotel automatic door opened, and two patrol officers walked in.
This is Beverly Hills, one of the most famous wealthy enclaves in the United States, where the Beverly Police Department has invested a lot of patrol forces, and after receiving the alarm, the patrol will arrive within five minutes.
If you change to downtown Los Angeles, then there will be waiting.
As soon as the two patrol officers found Matthew, Brown Williams arrived at the Four Seasons with his bodyguards.
It wasn't until Brown Williams and the four bodyguards got to his side that Matthew really felt a little more relaxed, and he would rather think for the worst than take it seriously.
Like this kind of alarm, it can be big or small.
The person who called the police is a celebrity and a rich man like Matthew, so it's not a trivial matter.
Soon, the Beverly City Police Department had officials who specialize in this kind of thing rushing over.
"Hello, Mr. Horner. β
In the underground parking lot, a middle-aged sheriff came to Matthew, Matthew reached out and shook him, and said directly, "Sheriff Bernati, we meet again." β
There was a hint of imperceptible embarrassment in Sergeant Bernati's smile, and he said, "I heard that the case is related to Mr. Horner, and I rushed over as soon as possible, and we will definitely find out as soon as possible." β
Matthew's face darkened a little, and he was deeply skeptical of the sheriff's ability, how many years have passed since the underpants theft case at Horner Manor?
The Los Angeles police are really not very efficient.
"Sheriff Bernarty, as a resident of the City of Beverly, I am very concerned about the deterioration of law and order in Beverly. Matthew also appropriately expressed his dissatisfaction, "The theft of my manor has not been solved until now, and now someone is openly threatening my personal safety!"
"I'm very sorry. "Sheriff Bernatti has a very good attitude," the police have not let up on the pursuit of the Horner estate theft. β
Matthew didn't bother to say anything more, the underwear theft had clearly become a headless case.
Helen Herman also rushed over at this time, and Matthew, accompanied by her, made a record for the police, in fact, there was nothing to say, after all, he found that the car was not in the right condition and ran away as soon as possible.
Of course, in Matthew's view, he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but self-aware.
It's so easy to get a gun in this country.
The police also asked him if he had any recent grudges, and Matthew's answer was, of course, no.
Speaking of which, there must be a lot of people who have a grudge against him, but who would use such a boring method?
After another half an hour in the hotel, Matthew left, the Mercedes SUV could not be driven for the time being, he got directly into Helen Herman's car, Brown Williams sat in the passenger seat, and the driver was replaced by Matthew's bodyguard.
Matthew didn't need to be reminded that he had strengthened the security level.
"Could this have something to do with the underwear theft two years ago?" asked Helen Herman, puzzled.
As the car pulled out of the underground parking lot, Matthew saw through the window a lot of entertainment reporters were blocking in front of the main entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel.
"Who knows. Matthew shrugged, "The case has not been solved, it may be that the underwear thief is back." β
He had a little headache and said to the co-pilot, "Brown, also strengthen the security on the manor's side." β
Brown Williams responded, "Okay. β
Helen Herman was still a little uneasy, reminding, "You should be careful lately, and you have nothing to do and run around." β
"I know. "Matthew still takes it seriously.
The phone rang, Helen Herman took out her mobile phone and connected it, talked to someone for a while, hung up the phone, looked at Matthew, and said, "Sheriff Bernarty called, the police called the hotel's underground parking lot and the relevant surveillance nearby, and found some clues. β
Matthew raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who did that?"
Helen Herman said calmly, "A male Latino, probably between thirty and forty years old, committed the crime at four o'clock in the morning. β
"Latino?" Matthew frowned slightly.
"Sheriff Bernarti suspects to be of Mexican descent. Helen Herman continued, "The other party did not hide his face or hide from the surveillance, and after leaving the parking lot of the Four Seasons Hotel, he rode an unlicensed motorcycle to downtown Los Angeles. β
She thought for a moment and said, "The other party should be specifically targeting you." β
Matthew nodded slightly, there are a lot of vehicles in the parking lot of the Four Seasons Hotel, if it is for luxury cars, there is also a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Ferrari near the Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle, and the Mercedes-Benz Big G is far worse than them.
Helen Herman added, "With the surveillance footage, the police will be able to investigate, and I will put pressure on them." β
"You pay more attention to this. Matthew thought for a moment, then said, "And the theft of Horner Manor." β
The car drove in the direction of Horner Manor and sent him straight home.
Matthew returned home and made a special call to the crew of "Special Forces" to push down today's work, but he was not idle at home, and the security was controlled by Brown Williams, so he didn't have to worry too much.
Sending Helen Herman away, Matthew turned on his computer and checked the latest information on the email, there was a lot of information about "Special Forces" and the actor Duke, which the crew just passed over yesterday.
He has not signed a contract with the crew for a few days, and in addition to a general understanding, he has not studied the relevant roles and background information very much.
Not very far from the start of filming, Matthew put Christopher Nolan's "Inception" aside for the time being, and has been concentrating on the project since the signing.
Even if it's a pure popcorn commercial movie, there's a lot of preparation to be done.
A strong body is a must, a certain military literacy must also be a lot, and basic movement training is also a must.
Fortunately, none of this is difficult for Matthew, who has acted in a lot of military-related films before, and is also very familiar with firearms, let alone action scenes.
Comparatively, the background information of "Special Forces" is a bit unfamiliar.
When he lived on the other side of the Pacific, Matthew had also watched the series of cartoons, but at the time it was just a hilarious view, far from being as memorable as Transformers.
The "Special Forces" characters who impressed him through cartoons are just Duke and Flint.
And, of course, the Cobra Commander and the bald DistrΓΆ.
I basically didn't remember anything else.
In this "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", he plays the role of Duke, one of the most important leaders of the special forces, also known as the Duke.
During this day, Matthew was basically looking through the relevant emails sent by the crew, especially the part about the Duke.
For the duke, many people may wonder, is he the leader of the special forces?
In the special forces, the concept of military rank is "hidden", and the ranks of the members when they come from the original unit are retained, but during training and operation, their ranks, including their names, will not appear on the uniforms, once they enter the special forces, then whoever listens to whom, must be judged according to the specific position assigned to them in the special forces, past experience does not count, and the team members call each other by code names, not "sir, corporal" and the like.
So it is not surprising that this rank of "sergeant" of the duke can lead his lieutenant-level teammates in the team.
In the comics and Hasbro settings, the Duke and Flint are equal in status, above them is General Hawke, and below them, the relationship between the upper and lower ranks of the team members is specifically adjusted according to the nature of the specific mission and the situation of the specific personnel.
In the profile, . In Joe, the Duke and the Redhead have more roles and leadership tasks, because they are the main characters, so it doesn't matter that later popular British characters like Miss Jay can easily arrange for her to die.
