40. Refusal
Driving to Antao Law Firm, Peter played the recording back and forth, trying to hear something unusual, and suddenly, Wei Li straightened his waist and turned his head to look at Peter, "Did you hear that voice?" ”
"What sound?"
"There was a 'ding' sound before the first gunshot."
Peter slowly adjusted the progress and volume, and at the same time his ears were pricked up, he didn't believe that this little rookie nose was easy to use, and his ears were easy to use?
Because he was sitting in the car with Peter, it was inconvenient for Wei Li to let Venice separate the audio, but he didn't expect to listen to it again and again, but it really made him hear something, Wei Li was very confident in his discovery, and he continued
"No, no, pour again!" Peter didn't fall on the spot a few times, and Wei Li was a little anxious, "It's before the first gunshot." ”
Finally found the right place, Peter listened to it a few times, and looked at Wei Li suspiciously, "Is there one?" "Why didn't he hear anything?
"Yes, absolutely, it seems to be the sound of an elevator."
After listening to it again and again, about twenty times, Peter finally found the "ding" that Wei Li said, and he didn't know how the little rookie heard such a small voice.
After listening to it five or six times, Peter nodded in confirmation, his voice was very insignificant, so it seemed that it was either separated by many doors, or it was very far away, and he waved his fist happily, Peter smiled a little easily: "That's right, it seems that we have eyewitnesses." ”
The car turned a corner, and Wei Li said leisurely: "Or the third victim." ”
With an expression like eating a live fly, Peter glared at Wei Li angrily, but had to admit that his statement had a certain basis.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people witnessing a shooting murder, as long as it has nothing to do with the gang, then the first thing he will do must be to call 911 to report the case, and their police can arrive at the scene within ten minutes of calling the police.
Recently, although the city of St. Wood is not very peaceful, it has not heard of a child shooting, and it can be delayed until now, and they still need to use a place like silver to get a recorded alarm, which can only show one problem, that is, there are no witnesses or witnesses have died.
"Anyway, at least they're not in a deserted place, looking for the latest shooting report from the 911 center to see if there is such a three-gun call."
Wei Li drove quietly, he could hear the content of Peter's phone call, and knew that Peter, who was optimistic by nature, had suffered a little setback, "No?" ”
With a long sigh, Peter had a headache, "Man, we're in trouble. ”
"yes." Wei Li deeply agreed, there were too many things to do in this case, and it was too troublesome.
Venice does not have much specific data on firearms in this era, and can only roughly estimate from the gunfire that the gun may be 9 mm caliber, if it is close, the gunfire will definitely make people deaf for a short time, listen to the recording, after the shooting, the man's voice has become somewhat louder, such a loud sound but no police call, can only show that there are not many residents in the building.
Poor, buildings with elevators and no residents, I think only the kind of abandoned factory buildings meet the standards.
Although the goal seems to be very clear, but the economic situation of St. Wood has not been good in recent years, there are not a few such buildings, and it may not be possible to search for about a week without a goal, and the time has dragged on for so long, I am afraid that the corpse has long been disposed of There is no residue left, so after thinking about it, Wei Li can only pin the breakthrough on the destination of this trip-Antao Law Firm, hoping to get this man's client information, even if it is only one name.
"Sorry man, I can't help you." Huey Andau sat lazily in his chair and refused Peter's request for the full recording, not even interested in speaking properly.
"Why, through this recording, we know that there is a suspected child shooting here, how do we find that poor child without a full recording?"
Sneering, Huey Antao said with a big grin: "Officer Jones, it is precisely because of the suspected child shooting case that my client will pass this recording to the St. Wood police, which is exactly what my client has contributed to society as a conscientious company, my clients have done their part, and the rest is your police business." ”
Wei Li looked at this guy named Huey Antao coldly, and wondered in his heart what kind of people the lawyer profession is, whether it is the society of 2044 or the society of 2009, he does not understand, he can only see something, study something, try to contact them, "Giving over this man's information has no impact on your clients, does it mean that your clients want the public to know that they harbor people who commit crimes against children?" ”
I have to say that although he was tentatively speaking, Wei Li was still lucky to be crooked, no company didn't care about his public image, Huey Antao suddenly sat up straight and looked at Wei Li with a positive face, "Officer Wei, I don't agree with your point of view, I don't think my client will agree either, no matter what this man does, what he does is his business, my client has the responsibility to protect the client's privacy from being leaked." ”
"No matter what this man did, your client should call the police as soon as they hear about a shooting, especially a shooting of children, and that's what a responsible business should do."
Standing up, Huey Antao stood up suddenly, glared at the angry Peter without flinching, and said-for-tat: "Officer Jones, don't forget, this call was answered in Yindu, and the first person who should call the police is those Yindu people, my customer only found the problem when he checked the customer service recording, and called the police to deal with it as soon as possible, my customer has not forgotten his social responsibility." ”
"No, your client was the first to artificially tamper with the recording, and only after ensuring that the recording would not affect the interests of your client did he choose to call the police, and your client put his own interests above two lives and a child's life."
After saying these words, Wei Li was suddenly stunned, as a former killer, although Wei Li was not a person who killed indiscriminately, he really didn't care about human life, just like he cut grass to harvest the lives of 7783 those people, because in his eyes, as long as the goal can be achieved, there is no essential difference between killing one person and killing ten people.
Unexpectedly, he would say such a thing, Wei Li couldn't help but glance at Peter, was this guy influencing him? Then Wei Li immediately reversed this point of view, this kind of guy who can only giggle can't have this influence, absolutely not.
With a sneer, Huey Andau stepped out behind his desk, "If you say that, then I don't have anything more to say to you, if you need to record, get a court order." ”
Taking a deep breath, Peter controlled his emotions and said sincerely: "Mr. Antao, as far as this recording is concerned, at least two people's lives are in danger, and finding them a minute earlier may save their lives, we can come with a search warrant from the judge, but that would be too much of a waste of time." ”
"Officer Jones, we all know that these two men are already dead, so you waste as much time as you can to apply for a search warrant, and if you do, we will definitely prepare a full recording for you." said that Huey Antao sent the guest directly, "Two, please, don't send it slowly." ”
