Ling Xiao's thoughts turned to Coulson's last sentence, the Japanese actually sent someone from the Japanese mainland to Los Angeles, but it was a little strange that Ling Xiao did not receive any news from Ichiro Shishida.

That night, Ling Xiao had taken the opportunity to deepen his mind control over Ichiro Shida, and now he can still feel the existence of mind control, but he just hasn't received any news.

Either Zhixuan hid Zhizhi Tianichiro from him, or someone from Japan did not contact Zhixuan at all, Ling Xiao's face suddenly flashed a smile, and it seemed that things were starting to get interesting.

As soon as he turned around, Ling Xiao returned to the concert hall. He was going to say goodbye to Michaela Baines and leave, but saw her talking to Pepper Potts with Christine standing aside.

Although Obadiah Stan and Tony Stark are gone, it all happened outside the Disney Concert Hall, and the people inside were not affected in the slightest, still singing and dancing and indulging in sex.

"Hey, Ling!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside Ling Xiao, and as soon as Ling Xiao turned around, he saw Kate Beckett standing there.

"Catherine, why are you here?" Ling Xiao's face was full of surprise, how could Kate Beckett, who is a detective of the Serious Crime Unit of the Los Angeles Police Department, appear here at the subsidized soldiers' family fund party held in the name of Stark, Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Are you here alone?" ”

"No, I'm here for Kevin." Beckett said and pointed to Kevin Ryan, who was standing not far away.

At this time, Kevin Ryan was sitting in front of the bar, with a serious face, Ling Xiao's eyes fell on the orange juice in Beckett's hand, frowned, and said, "Kate, are you on a mission tonight?" ”

"You can see it." As he spoke, Beckett put the orange juice in his hand on the plate held by the waiter who walked by, stretched out his hand to Ling Xiao and said, "Come on, Ling, please let me dance a song." ”

"Good!" Ling Xiao smiled softly, reached out and grabbed Beckett's outstretched right hand, and with a slight pull, he led her onto the dance floor.

Beckett wore a black off-the-shoulder evening dress tonight, with a large U-shaped front collar that exposed a large area of whiteness on her chest, and the amazing upper circumference was extremely elaborate and moving from Ling Xiao's point of view.

"Well, Catherine, can you tell me why you're here tonight?" Ling Xiao hugged Beckett's slender waist and whispered in her ear.

"Look over there." Beckett nodded to the two people not far away, Ling Xiao turned his head to take a look, and immediately turned his head, blocked Beckett's view, and said, "Don't look too much." ”

With a slight turn, the two of them were already far away from the position they had just been. Beckett frowned and looked at Ling Xiao, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "What are you doing, I'm going to install a bugging device on that person, what are you doing pulling me so far." ”

Beckett came tonight because he had a clue that Scott West, the diamond merchant, was going to meet with the last of Philip Johnson's escaped men to retrieve the gems they had stolen. As a result, the police sent someone to install a bug on Scott West, and if they could get useful words from his mouth, they would arrest him as soon as possible.

"You've been discovered." Ling Xiao pulled Beckett to dance softly, and said in a deep voice: "At the very least, Kevin has been discovered, don't you notice that West's gaze looks in the direction of the bar from time to time?" ”

"What!" Beckett looked incredulous, Ling Xiao turned sideways slightly, and Beckett just saw West glance at the bar counter, and then his eyes fell on the female companion again.

West's movements were extremely hidden, if Ling Xiao hadn't mentioned her in advance, I'm afraid Beckett wouldn't have found out at all.

Sensing this, Beckett immediately lowered his voice and said, "Kevin, you have been exposed. Listen, just stay there and don't move, you're in charge of getting his eye while I'll figure it out. ”

"It's not easy for you to put a bug on him." Ling Xiao continued to dance while holding Beckett's body, and said in a low voice: "You should have checked West's resume, he is proficient in all kinds of firearms and free fighting, and he has been trained on the battlefield, and he is very alert. To put it mildly, if you just stare at him for a while, he will be aware of your presence. ”

In fact, many people don't know that the eyes are also a kind of energy, and the master with a high sensitivity can easily detect the surveillance of others, just like Ling Xiao, although Kate is also an elite of the Los Angeles Police Department, but compared with the agents who specialize in this work, her surveillance skills are far worse.

"Seriously?" Beckett looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, how could this kind of thing sound so mysterious.

"Ling is right." Beckett's voice came from Esposito's headphones, and he said in a deep voice: "When I was in the Marine Corps, I heard from my comrades who were good at fighting and sniping. The most astute sniper has that strong instinct, and if you aim your scope at him, he will soon spot you unless you shoot right away. ”

After a slight pause, Esposito continued, "So a really good sniper won't always aim his scope at his target, and once you appear in the center of his cross, you'll be killed very quickly. ”

"So what to do?" Although Esposito's words are a little different from what Ling Xiao said, the general meaning is still the same. Beckett frowned, according to Ling Xiao, West had already discovered the police surveillance, so it was very likely that he would give up the meeting with that accomplice tonight.

Beckett whispered in Ling Xiao's ear with some reluctance: "Is it difficult to give up so much?" ”

"What the hell is going on tonight?" Ling Xiao tightened his arm slightly, let Beckett stick to him, and whispered in her ear, "Be careful, you must know that you are showing up in front of West." ”

"I was a long way away." Beckett replied with some dissatisfaction, and she stopped her struggle, because by this time she had already seen West's sweeping gaze.

Burying his head in Ling Xiao's arms, Beckett whispered the story from beginning to end.

It turned out that during this time, the Los Angeles Serious Crime Squad and the California State Bureau of Investigation were not idle, and they had already found the person who escaped from Philip Johnson's gang according to all the information they had, and that person was the second core person of the entire team in addition to Philip Johnson.

Everyone underestimated Philip Johnson, he habitually kept two copies of all the information on hand, one for himself, and one for his most trusted subordinate, this time Philip Johnson was dead, although most of the things in his hands were found, but the contact records related to Scott West were not found at all.

The joint team deduced that Johnson must have hidden these things in a place that only he knew, and now that Johnson is also dead, it is basically impossible for these things to be found, and everyone can only focus on the person who escaped.

It's been almost a month since the joint investigation team was formed, and although there are some flaws, the overall results are good, basically all the criminals involved in the robbery of the museum that night have been arrested, and two of the five gems have been recovered. Because of this, if they can't find the person who escaped for a long time, relatively speaking, there is no need for the joint investigation team to exist.
