Chapter 110: Escalation
After Sidney parked the car, the four of them walked into the Sloan steakhouse together.
Huang Chamberlain is the one who most hopes that his movies can be made well and profitable except for Liszt, and the two leading actors in this movie can't compare to him.
Liszt and the others were delayed a little time on the road, so there were not many customers when they arrived at the steakhouse, which made Liszt and others less troubled by queuing.
Li Si made a special emphasis on the steak being cooked, and even though the waiter looked at him strangely, Liszt still insisted on his request.
Over the years, Liszt is still a Chinese stomach, preferring to eat potato roast beef rather than touch the classic steak of medium and five medium rare, and the same is true when he eats with Charlie at home, the food must be cooked.
This is more acceptable than even Huang Chamberlain, the medium-rare steak, without a trace of hesitation when ordering, seems to have become accustomed to it, and he is more of a Chinese American than a Chinese living in the United States than a Chinese living in the United States.
The waiting time for the steak to be served was a bit long, and the four people sat around a table and looked at each other without saying a word, the atmosphere was a little dull, and no one spoke.
Liszt gave a "gag order" in advance, and before the release of this movie, the crew was not allowed to talk about anything about the movie, so at this time the four of them fell into an embarrassing situation where they had nothing to say.
Liszt didn't like the atmosphere, and remembered that when he came in, he seemed to see a newsstand, and in this era when the Bowheads had not yet taken over the earth, newspapers were undoubtedly a good choice for spending time away from home.
Although Sloan Steakhouse is not a particularly high-end venue, basic dining etiquette, such as not making loud noises, must be consciously followed.
"You guys wait here for a while, I'll go out and buy a newspaper, do you need to read it?"
"I don't need it, it's all in English, you can't understand it for me, Liszt, don't we have to eat beef with two whole bottles of wine, it's not fun to have meat without wine." Huang Bolun didn't want newspapers, the creditor was far away on the other side of the ocean, and he still had a job, so he didn't have to do anything in a hurry.
Sidney didn't know what Chamberlain was talking about, but she didn't need a newspaper either, and as for the other one, well, she was texting on her phone, and she didn't know which girl she was talking to.
Liszt shrugged his shoulders and walked out the door, when the door opened, and a policeman in a blue crisp uniform reached out and pushed the door open, and then a blonde man in a black suit walked in.
Liszt guessed that this person was a senior member of the police station, and Liszt politely stepped aside to let the other party pass first.
Andrews politely nodded to Liszt, who had made room for him, and walked away, probably not even seeing what Liszt looked like.
Liszt didn't care, he would definitely enter the SFPD in the future, but that didn't mean he needed to go out of his way to talk to someone.
John looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and hurriedly waved to the person in charge of the San Francisco police scene who was in charge of the scene, who was also an old acquaintance, Greenson and his partner Einstein.
"Collisson, what did you find at the scene?"
"Nothing, are you going to snatch this case away again, John?" Einstein had been dissatisfied with John for a long time.
John didn't care what these people were talking about, in fact, everywhere, federal agents and the local police were supposed to cooperate with each other, but many times there were frequent conflicts between two departments with overlapping powers.
"I don't want to rob you of your case, if you think you have the clues to solve the case and find the suspect, I can tell the mayor to hand the case back to you."
"No, you can investigate this case as you want, we won't hinder you, but don't hinder our investigation." Collison knew that this case was tricky, and that he would be killed by a mad gangster, so instead of risking their lives to investigate the case, it was better to let the FBI investigate, this kind of thing should be their business, and there was no need for him and Einstein to get involved.
"John, you're here, something big happened here, and a row of dead people full of Japanese gangsters, all shot from behind without a trace of resistance." Wick, who had arrived at the scene before John, crouched next to the corpse to collect evidence.
Seeing that the team leader John was coming, he hurriedly came over to report his findings.
"Are you sure they were all shot in the back?"
"That's right, all of them, if it weren't for the fact that they didn't have binding marks on their hands, I doubt that the murderer was executing."
"It's similar to an execution now, it reminds me of the back kitchen of the teahouse, Collison, when you got here, did you find a single kind of notice?" The familiar scene makes John have to associate this case with the mysterious V.
The case of the teahouse left and right, the police side is also led by the Gleason pair, plus the Zero Bar time, so they are no strangers to the mysterious person V that John said.
And this time, the death of these drivers is the same as the death of those chefs in the back kitchen of the teahouse on the left and right, they were all shot in a row from behind.
"There was no notice, and we were suspicious, so after taking over the scene, we searched and found no notice."
"It shouldn't have been done by V, the cases V did before were either with a pistol, a gun to hit the vital point or a dagger to seal his throat. And these people are different, they were killed by random shooting, judging by the bullet model, it should be a submachine gun, and there is more than one. Wick added.
"V isn't alone, either." John subconsciously spit out a sentence, but it made the atmosphere more dull, John shook his head: At present, it is indeed inconsistent with what V did before, put the target of suspicion on the triad, and at present, only the triad has the ability and enough motivation to do things with such a force.
Is there anything out of the ordinary situation with our brothers who are monitoring these two parties?"
"Okay."
After receiving the order, Wick hurriedly called the brothers who monitored the Zhang family, and Kodaka called the brothers who monitored Shiro Yanagawa Automobile Company.
"Last night, Yanagawa Yoshira, the manager of Yanagawa Automobile Company, went out with bodyguards, and the brothers wanted to follow him, but they lost it in the area of the Golden Gate Bridge, and an hour later, Yanagawa Yoshira's car reappeared and went to a five-star hotel near the car company, and he never came out again."
"These people are doing errands for his Yanagawa family, and the hour when Yanagawa Kira disappeared last night should have been here to arrange these jobs, and there should be nothing suspicious about her in this matter.
Wick, is there any news from the Zhang family? ”
"Yesterday, Zhang Zhang has been at home with his wife and daughter and has not gone out for half a step, only Zhang Li's bodyguard Di Wu, the brothers over there said that they haven't seen him at Zhang Li's house for a day, and they haven't gone back yet."
"Di Wu? Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"S*, immediately dispatch all the surveillance footage installed along the way from Marin County to San Francisco, and find Di Wu for me."
Urging his men to act, John turned his gaze back to Collison and Einstein: "You two do me a favor. ”
Liszt waited for the steak to be served while reading the newspaper, to be honest, there was nothing useful, and the entertainment page said at most about the crew of "Killing".
Liszt pointed out the edition to Sidney, who had asked for a cup of coffee and tasted it slowly, to see how the woman would react to it.
As a result, Sidney just glanced at it and tilted her head away, muttering "Boring." ”
Liszt touched his nose awkwardly, and looked at the other two with a weak heart, both of them were doing their own thing, and Huang Chamberlain actually hooked up with the glamorous young woman in white professional clothes at the table next to him, and his eyebrows fluttered when he chatted.
However, Liszt noticed that the young woman was more focused on Hank, who was concentrating on texting and flirting with his girlfriend, and Chamberlain didn't notice that people were just trying to use him to talk to handsome guys.
Liszt decided that it was better not to expose Huang Chamberlain, although there was little hope, but if Huang Chamberlain could really gain a love in the United States, he might choose to stay.
This is still very good for his future plans, he wants to be a policeman, but he also has to make money, and it will be much more convenient to have someone to help.
At this time, a crisp bell sounded at the door, which means that a new guest has come in.
Liszt subconsciously looked up, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face, Liszt lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper, but his ears were pricked up.
The head of a gangster family's bodyguard is actually related to a suspected high-ranking plainclothes policeman, and Liszt realizes that he may have run into something terrible.
Filming continued in the afternoon, after everyone finished work, Liszt refused Huang Chamberlain's invitation to go to the bar, and finally Huang Chamberlain and the actor went to the bar, as for Sidney Liszt, it was not good to ask her about her itinerary, but judging from the joy she inadvertently revealed, there should be something good.
After they were all gone, Liszt checked the DV he rented again, and there was no problem with the content, so he put the DV into the system space.
There was one thing that Liszt had never told Harry, and when he came back from the police station last night he found someone in his room, and he wasn't sure who it was.
It may be the police, but the probability is too low, they only need to bring a stamped piece of paper to the investigation, and Harry doesn't have to talk nonsense to him.
The most likely is someone sent by Yanagawa because Rogge died here, and it was Yanagawa who found out Tom's address and told Rogge.
The last thing Liszt wants to accept is the most dangerous possibility, the one who infiltrates the house will be the CIA, Rogge, a former agent, is still in contact with them, and Tom's information is obtained by Rogge through previous connections.
Of course, all this is just speculation, or it may be that a thief got in when he saw that there was no one in the house, but unfortunately neither Liszt nor Tom and his wife had the habit of hiding their money at home.
However, for the sake of safety, Liszt still carefully searched the house up and down, although this house is destined to be abandoned, but before the filming is completed, Liszt still needs to use it, and as for the new home, Tom needs to choose it himself.
Liszt didn't know the identity of the plainclothes policeman Di Wu went to see, and he wanted to find out, so after calling to make sure that Harry was working overtime in the bureau, Liszt went to the kitchen to tinker for a while and took a taxi to the police station.
