Chapter 505: Concert Security Entrustment
The situation of the Bourne Detective Agency is much worse than Gao Cheng expected, and it is difficult to find larger commissions, but fortunately, Bourne's past connections are still there, and it took a few days for the relationship to finally catch the line of the New York Police Department.
A female singer who has recently become popular has received a threatening letter, and the Bourne Detective Agency can assist the police in their investigation.
In the president's office, Gao Cheng put down the newspaper in his hand.
In a few days, he also had a general understanding of the situation here, which was too different from the United States in his memory, the Internet was also at the cusp of the times, and many Internet companies were worth billions of billions or even tens of billions of dollars, but the situation he was familiar with did not appear, the famous Apple was still there, but there was no Jobs, and other companies were similar.
Like Japan, this is indeed a parallel world, the Internet is messy, not to mention that he has no way, and even if he does, it seems that less than $2 billion in funds in his hands can only set off a wave in the Internet wave, and it will be easily swallowed.
It would be nice to be able to draw some financial ability.
Gao Cheng was a little dumbfounded.
Although there are no worries about the economy, no one will be afraid of having more money.
"President," Bruce knocked on the door outside, "it's been agreed over there, the concert is in the evening, when are we going to go?" ”
"Let's go now," Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts, "It's better to get familiar with it earlier." ”
Bruce is the young man who has followed Bourne for a little longer among the two staff, but his ability is not yet on his own, so Gao Cheng decided to take the two of them first, and he can't all hope to recruit another senior detective in the future.
The female singer Maddie, who is the client, received intimidation threats a week ago, and the New York police believe that the concert held today is likely to be targeted by the other party, and the private investigators who assist in the investigation need to disguise themselves as bodyguards to investigate from Maddie's side.
In addition to the Bourne Detective Agency, there seems to be another well-known detective agency involved, which is the detective who was commissioned by Maddie from the beginning.
The concert only started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and when Gao Cheng arrived at the scene after contacting the New York police in advance, he was a little smacked at the heat of the concert.
This female singer named Maddie is indeed popular enough, no wonder she is targeted, but in this chaotic environment, the security work is not easy to handle, and the intimidating person can hide among the fans.
"President," Bruce and another young man named George looked tense and seemed a little nervous, "we need to follow the personal bodyguard to escort Maddie back and forth from the concert, and someone else is in charge of it,"
"Okay."
Gao Cheng glanced around, and then took out the floor plan of the concert hall to check.
In other words, they are not needed in the concert, and the other party obviously does not trust the police, but if the intimidation is the person next to the singer, it will be troublesome.
Why do you feel that the commission that Bourne is looking for is a bit of a pitfall?
Aside from the benefit of working with the police to get closer, the mission is no different from that of a regular bodyguard.
It's still good to have Conan, and it's easy to be involved in the incident.
Half an hour before the concert started, Gao Cheng and Bruce drove into the concert hall with a few followers dressed as ordinary people, and even a separate passage had already gathered many excited fans.
Gao Cheng followed the female singer Maddie, a young woman with big lips, with a strained face under the continuous flash, carefully guarding against fans approaching.
Although he is not a professional bodyguard, his super observation skills still allow him to prevent danger in advance, but it seems that there are no dangerous people among the fans.
"Be vigilant," the sheriff in the headset still admonished, "the target may be carrying a firearm, go to two people on the left......"
Gao Cheng's heart was secretly tight.
This is the most troublesome thing in this kind of country where guns are rampant, it is too easy to get a gun, he is just a detective, and without professional skills in this area, it is difficult to deal with cold guns.
"Hurry up."
has been sending the female singer to the backstage lounge, Gao Cheng followed the police to the fans to investigate, and the two Bruce next to him were already so nervous that their hands were sweating.
"Is there really anyone going to do it here?" Bruce said uneasily.
"It's very likely, the more chaotic it is, the easier it will be," Gao Cheng stood on the high platform to look at the hot concert scene, "You two go to the lounge and keep an eye on it, don't mess around if there is anything unusual, notify me first." ”
Seeing that the much smaller Gao Cheng was calm, Bruce and the others were immediately relieved, and obediently went to the backstage lounge, when suddenly an international call came to Gao Cheng.
Finding a slightly quieter corner to connect the phone, Gao Cheng unexpectedly heard Conan's voice.
"It's a bit noisy, and I'm helping out at a concert...... Ha? Uncle spent 10 million in advance? And then the commission hasn't been completed yet? ”
"Yes," Conan said helplessly, "after the treat that day, he ate and drank with his neighbors, and spent three million, and then he went to the client's house alone and couldn't complete the commission, so in order to earn the money back, he actually went to bet on horses and cars, and lost another five million...... He came back drunk today, and he's still drinking, and I don't know how to help him......"
"I knew he would have this day," Gao Chengtou said, "If it doesn't work, I'll help him advance the borrowed money first, but you still have to think about it." ”
"What's the solution?" Conan looked at Uncle Maori, who was drunk and asleep in the office, "It's impossible for him to take me to the client's house like this......"
"Isn't there still a concubine lawyer? Let Xiaolan call the concubine lawyer and tell her about the uncle's pity, the concubine lawyer will help, and then you can work with her to solve the matter at the client's house. ”
"Does it really work?" Conan looked at the nested uncle with deep suspicion.
"It will definitely succeed, if it doesn't work, you can use your uncle's voice to plead for mercy, and you don't have to care about your uncle's face."
Gao Cheng looked at the more and more lively concert scene, and didn't care to say more.
"That's it, it's better to try than not to try, if it doesn't work, I'll help...... I'm busy first. ”
There was no chaos at the concert site, maybe it was because a popular singer didn't need to shoot and assassinate, or maybe the police checked well, the concert time for a few hours went quite smoothly, and Maddie didn't die too close to the fans.
As for the backstage, Bruce didn't notice anything unusual, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with other singers or people around Maddie.
Gao Cheng was both happy and a little disappointed.
It seems that this is an ordinary commission, and it is not an opportunity to improve the reputation of the Bourne Detective Agency at all, so I can only take my time and let the Bourne Detective Agency deepen its cooperation with the police first.
"Let's go back."
Gao Cheng called Bruce and the two of them, and met up with the police again, intending to escort Maddie from the backstage first.
"Okay." Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for Gao Cheng, he really didn't want to meddle in this kind of thing, although it was much more lucrative than ordinary business, and one person could get 3,000 US dollars, but it was too dangerous, and it was not an agent who was a private detective, and the usual business of the Bourne Detective Agency was just a business activity in consulting and investigation.
Gao Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He doesn't expect his subordinates to be as versatile as the FBI's Shuichi Akai, but this kind of simple security work seems to be very difficult, and maybe he should recruit some more retired police detectives as staff, so that both ability and connections are guaranteed.
