Chapter 360 How is it still Esworth (1 more)
"Wolf-Esworth, the younger brother of Councillor Henry. And, interestingly, this Wolf Esworth has been working with a real estate company in recent years to try to enter the real estate market in Los Angeles. Now, there's a big project that's just starting to kick off, what do you think of? Selena looked at him with wide eyes.
Luke also laughed: "I remember, Wade Davis was doing real estate in Texas? It's still a big deal. ”
Selena gave a thumbs up: "Now that big project is being developed by a newly formed 3&M construction company. The 3&M construction company has two major shareholders, with Wade Davis providing the majority of the capital and technology, holding around 32% of the shares. Wolff-Esworth has almost 21 percent of the shares, with the remaining shares held by eight shareholders, but the highest one is around 11 percent. ”
"So, Wolf-Esworth is the second shareholder of the 3&M company." Luke thought thoughtfully.
Selena's face showed a look of mockery: "It's a pity that in recent months, this new company, which was supposed to make a lot of money, has faced the crisis of bankruptcy. ”
Luke picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Wade Davis is a very professional real estate businessman, but he is charged with two first-degree murders and is about to be sent back to Texas for trial, which is not a good situation." ”
He and Selena grew up in Texas and certainly knew a lot about it.
Texas has a lot to be known for, and its justice system has some of the most famous in the nation — the number and efficiency of death sentences in the country.
California, for example, retains the death penalty, but has not carried out a single case for decades.
The southern states of the United States are the regions with the most executions, much higher than the eastern and western coasts, and Texas is still the leader of the southern states, no matter how many protests and pressures are exerted, it just does not abolish the death penalty, and every now and then it carries out a case.
Compared with judges in other states, Texas judges have been ruthless and ruthless in sentencing the death penalty.
Texas seems to be telling the whole of America: You don't dare, I dare!
The so-called Lone Star Republic is like this.
If Wade Davis had been tried elsewhere, he would have been sentenced to life in prison, or even twenty or thirty years.
After a few years, as soon as the limelight passes and he spends a lot of money, he will always have a way to return to the world of flowers, as long as he doesn't show off, the life of a rich man can continue.
And once he is sent back to Texas for trial, even if the lawsuit will last for more than ten years until the final execution, he will definitely not be able to get out in this life.
It was Wade Davis who contributed the money, people and technology for this big project, and once he was caught, the real person in charge of this big real estate project would be gone.
The bank is not stupid, and will definitely not lend to this project again, even in the name of the Essworth family.
Business is business. This is the wise saying of the Americans.
The Esworth family didn't start out in real estate, they didn't do it professionally at all, and the bank wouldn't tell them anything.
Therefore, this big project is destined to end with that new 3&M construction company.
"How's the relationship between Wolf and Henry?" Luke asked.
Selena: "There is no indication that there is a clear conflict between the two brothers, but they also have very little daily movement. ”
Luke shrugged: "It seems that they are not the kind of representatives of brotherhood. ”
Selena was dazed: "Huh? ”
Luke muttered in his heart: If there is a situation like the one in the movie where the elder brother helps the younger brother, the younger brother helps the elder brother, and the violent seed is chaotic at every turn, it is really a headache.
Selena finally asked, "That little baby, what's the situation?" ”
Luke thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is no progress for the time being, and it is useless to say it." I'll tell you when the water comes out, go to sleep. ”
Selena yawned, got up and went back to the house: "Okay." You also go to bed early. ”
Luke nodded and decided to sleep for two and a half hours today, which was an extra half-hour off for himself.
Early the next morning, the two finished breakfast and drove to the police station.
When she arrived at the police station, Sonia greeted her: "How do you arrange it today?" ”
Luke nodded, "I'll go to Elsa first." ”
As soon as Sonia heard this, she went back to her desk.
Luke and Selena enter Elsa's office and close the door.
Elsa looked up from the file on the table, saw that it was the two of them, and threw down the pen in her hand: "What's the matter?" ”
Luke got straight to the point: "Mark Irving's case involves Wolf Esworth, the younger brother of Henry City Councilor, and I'll tell you about it." ”
Elsa put her hand on her forehead: "What's the matter?" ”
She just said that she should be careful in the case of the girl in pajamas being hit and killed, and it turned out that the murder of the police was actually related to the Ellsworth family.
It's a big local family, and the consequences of being involved in a police murder case are not good.
Although the rich can command the police, the police are not the lambs to the slaughter of the rich and cannot sit idly by and watch this happen.
If you dare to kill the Texas Rangers this time, if you have anything to do next time, can you kill a Los Angeles policeman?
This kind of thing must not be spoken.
Elsa had listened to Luke's analysis before, and knew that it was the county police who had a problem, but she didn't expect to go around and around, and she was actually involved with the Esworth family again.
Luke explained the situation, and Elsa took a deep breath, and instead of saying a word, she leaned herself back in her chair, where she frowned and pondered.
In this case, Wolf-Esworth's suspicion is really big.
According to the data, the real estate project they developed is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and the upfront capital investment has been tens of millions.
Although Wolf mainly provides connections, he does not pay a penny.
And after this project is done, it is likely to be enough for Wolf to eat for a lifetime, and the benefits involved in the later stage are also calculated in billions.
For such a large sum of money, what is it to kill a Texas Ranger?
Elsa got up: "I'll go find the next one, you guys are waiting here." ”
She went out for almost half an hour before she came back.
Closing the door, she didn't even sit down before she spoke: "The case continues to be investigated, but the action is not too big, just check Luca Barton, understand?" ”
Luke pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Understood." ”
Elsa looked at him: "Alas, you are too ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh and shake her head, waving her hand to signal the two to go out to do something.
Back at her desk, Selena asked in a whisper, "What does this mean?" ”
Luke: "To give the outside world a clear message, we're just going to check Luca Barton. As for who gave him the benefit and let him do it, that has nothing to do with us. ”
Selena frowned: "Is this possible?" That Esworth was the mastermind. ”
