Chapter 072: The Inner Ghost (I)
By the time SWAT arrived at the scene, the matter was over.
The three robbers were injured to varying degrees, two of them were seriously injured, they were attacked by Shi Hu who came out of the way, and the guy who was knocked down by a shotgun when he broke into the door. The third person suffered minor injuries, but the treatment remained the same: handcuffed and rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
In terms of the hotel, two employees were injured, but the injuries were not serious, and the more troublesome thing was that the customers were disturbed, but the hotel's response was okay and did not expand the panic. Shi Hu's trust and Frank's sophistication also quickly cut off the robbers' delusions of struggle and exterminated the hidden dangers.
The police at the scene were negotiating with the hotel manager Rossi.
The main witnesses and participants of the incident have appeared one after another, and the police need to talk to them and record the process.
Shi Hu was also one of them, but before leaving, Erica hurriedly followed, emphasizing: "You have the right to remain silent until your lawyer arrives." ”
Shi Hu was puzzled: "I didn't commit a crime, right?" ”
"Listen to me, I'm more familiar with the rules of the United States than you are." Erica said, "I will never hurt you. ”
"I know." Shi Hu was willing to believe her.
"I'll take care of it with you." Erica is obviously not at ease, because when it comes to guns, hurting people, words must be mastered.
The process of investigation and evidence collection was relatively smooth, and the casino's monitoring reproduced the incident from multiple angles, but some of the monitoring was interfered with and was not completely recorded. But with the testimony of participants and eyewitnesses, things can be restored. The only obstacle to the investigation was on Shi Hu.
Before his lawyer arrived, he remained silent.
Generally, this kind of person is often a ghost in his heart, and Shi Hu is also very wronged...... The police have a sense of professionalism, but they are helpless - they are not judges, and they have no right to make a judgment for Shi Hu. Now it is a situation of cooperating with the investigation, and the other party has not failed to cooperate, and it is natural to ask for a lawyer.
After a while, Shi Hu's lawyer arrived.
This is the last time I went to apply for insurance with Erica, I hired it easily. A certain fee is paid every year, and there is a separate fee for regular consultation and administrative processing. The cost is not low, but the advantage is that there is a law firm to serve him, as long as he has money, it is not difficult to say black to white.
Shi Hu first explained the cause and effect to the lawyer, and did not hide much.
The lawyer clarified the whole process, and his tone was very relaxed: "This is not a problem, in the whole incident, you are completely a hero who acts bravely." ”
The hero is informal, and in the presence of the lawyer, Shi Hu talks to the police.
In the eyes of others, Shi Hu is also in trouble doing good deeds? But don't forget, the United States is a country where trivial matters can get into lawsuits, especially words that can be used as evidence by the police, so you must be cautious. Shi Hu didn't want to make a mistake and get into trouble with illegally carrying guns.
But the police obviously don't want to dwell on small details, and handling big cases well is the first priority.
Originally, the matter should have passed smoothly, and the police went to investigate the case and hunt down the robber's accomplices, but the next day came news - one of the robbers had died, and it happened to be the one who was hit by Shi Hu. Two bullets, one in the abdomen and one in the shoulder, died of excessive blood loss.
So I have to talk to Shi Hu later.
The previous seemed to be overly cautious, and it was not in vain at all, this investigation was based on the previous time, and once again asked Shi Hu in detail about the reaction process, how many shots were fired, and the origin of the gun. Shi Hu's response belonged to Michael, who had just recently applied for a concealed gun license.
Shi Hu's answer stood up to scrutiny, and there was surveillance as evidence, so no one made it difficult for him.
There was no surprise in the whole thing, but reality reminded him that in the United States, when it comes to law, you must be cautious, and lawyers are indispensable.
No wonder the profession of a lawyer is popular.
……
Shi Hu's life was as comfortable as ever, but Frank, who came to see him specially, was surprised: "Tiger, do you think there is anything wrong?" ”
"What's bad?" Shi Hu didn't understand.
Frank sat down: "The robber you hit is dead. ”
"Oh." Shi Hu understood, "You want to say that because I killed him, it is going to be abnormal now?" ”
Frank nodded: "Without professional counseling, this is the psychological distress that most people will experience." ”
"But I'm not the 'majority.'" Shi Hu shook his head, "These bastards blatantly came to rob my casino, not to mention, and to shoot at me, can you bear it?" ”
"I can't."
Shi Hu's reasoning: "So, if I don't kill them all, it's merciful enough." ”
Frank understood: "Looks like I'm overthinking. ”
Shi Hu smiled and asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”
Frank also said simply: "The robbers still have at least one accomplice at large, we have checked the surveillance repeatedly, and they are very organized, they know how to avoid important areas of casino security, and retreat in an orderly manner." If it weren't for the accidental disruption on both sides of us, there is a good chance that they would have managed to escape. If you can be familiar with our internal and can interfere with the monitoring line, I think the possibility of internal ghosts is very high. ”
"Inner ghost?" Shi Hu also felt that it was possible, "Who is the most suspicious?" ”
Frank looked at him, and Shi Hu nodded: "It's okay, talk to me about probability, just for reference." ”
"Security Manager." Frank confessed. "Recently, Mr. Rossi has considered taking action against the security department, removing a number of staff, the security manager may not be in a secure position, and he has recently moved to a new house, the house is very luxurious, it costs a lot, and his wife is at home full-time with the children."
After listening to the inference, Shi Hu looked at Frank in wonder: "But you're not completely sure it's him?" ”
"You're very observant," Frank said. Yes, don't you think that all the evidence points to him, and such a smooth inference is a kind of confusion? ”
Shi Hu thought about it and had a way: "Can you give me a bystander when the police interview him?" ”
It's not a big problem, and the police officer Andrei, who has a friendship in front of him, happens to be in charge of the case, and readily agrees to observe and listen to the conversation through the single glass.
When asked by the police, the manager answered honestly.
The police officer reasoned that because the manager had been spending a bit of money lately, buying a house and a car, but suddenly facing the risk of layoffs, he used his authority to design the robbery...... But the manager's reaction was strong, and he indignantly emphasized that the matter had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Shi Hu watched quietly, and his mind reading technique could feel his innocence.
"It shouldn't be him." Shi Hu shook his head at Frank.
Frank understood: "That's just for CSI, I hope they can be as good as they are in the TV series." ”
……
How to investigate the matter of the inner ghost, Shi Hu can't do anything.
This kind of professional criminal investigation work really has to be done by CSI. There are no familiar characters in American dramas, and the CSI members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department are just a bunch of inconspicuous engineering men, so naturally there are no handsome men and beautiful women and godlike clues to infer it.
Another focus of Shi Hu is the reputation of the hotel.
Out of this incident, he was a little annoyed, those big casinos on both sides of the long street didn't rob them with so much money, and the good Arhat Eleven didn't do it, but they came to stare at my field? I wonder if Maxim's development is in trouble once he is branded as dangerous and unreliable.
