Knowing that the hotel where Jimmy lives can be done by many people, after all, this is Los Angeles, there are many rich people, and of course there will be no fewer people with connections, he doesn't care at all, but what's in this storage box is interesting.

He was not sure who had made the locker now, if it was Mrs. Hariton, there should be no need to be so troublesome, after all, he had personally come to the door once, and his attitude at that time could definitely become a topic of discussion at the front desk, Mrs. Hareton didn't need to do such a hidden thing, just wait for herself to come to the door again and give the information to herself.

Looking at the time, Jimmy still decided to rest first and wait until the next day to open the storage box to see, after all, it is still relatively dangerous to move in an unfamiliar place like Los Angeles at night.

Mark has returned to New York, although it is not completely good, but at least for now it is enough to support him to leave the hospital temporarily, when Jimmy borrowed the car from the Los Angeles office, their eyes were a little wrong, Jimmy was also embarrassed, Mark only used the car for a few days and went directly into the repair shop, he came to borrow it again, completely treating them as a car rental company.

The location of the storage box was not difficult to find, but Jimmy still looked left and right, and did not seem to notice that anyone was staring at him, he took out the key and opened the storage box, which was empty, only two pieces of paper.

After picking it up and looking at it, Jimmy folded it and put it in his pocket and left.

When I came to the Hareton Foundation, the girl at the front desk obviously remembered Jimmy, and before Jimmy could speak, she had already stood up, turned around and walked directly to the office, and just left Jimmy at the door.

Jimmy blinked at the back of the girl at the front desk and was still a little confused, what is the situation?

After a while, she reappeared at the front desk and said to Jimmy, "Please follow me." He turned around and walked away, as if something would happen if he said a few words to Jimmy.

Jimmy looked left and right as he walked inside, what the hell was going on with this weird atmosphere?

When she came to Mrs. Hareton's office, she still sat in the boss's chair, nodded to the front desk, and when she left, she got up and took out a stack of papers from the drawer next to her and came to Jimmy, "This is what you want." ”

Jimmy took the file and didn't look through it, but looked at Mrs. Hariton: "What happened?" You don't seem to be looking good here. ”

Mrs. Harriton: "You're right, it's the backstabbing from your own people that is the most terrible." Detective, I hope you can get more out of it. That's it, goodbye. ”

With that, Mrs. Hareton turned around and picked up the handbag on the table and left the office, and the two men in suits outside immediately got up and left the company with Mrs. Hareton behind.

Jimmy followed Mrs. Hareton, except that instead of following Mrs. Hareton and the three of them into the elevator, he waited for the elevator next to him to go downstairs.

Driving away from the building, Jimmy smiled as he drove, as if the fun had begun, the two men next to Mrs. Hareton hadn't seen it when he came over last time, which meant that if it wasn't for some accident last time that they weren't in the office, it was that they had just been arranged to protect Mrs. Hariton, and something really seemed wrong with them.

Thinking back to Mrs. Hariton's words just now, the backstab from within can also threaten Mrs. Hariton's life, if there is not a problem within the family, or the company's director-level figures have signs of seizing power, and the momentum is huge, Mrs. Hareton seems to be at a disadvantage, and then think about the attitude of the front desk and the situation of other people in the office just now, it seems that everyone already knows this sign of seizing power, and their attitude towards Mrs. Hareton seems to show this.

Interestingly, Jimmy doesn't know much about this kind of business thing, and the person he knows who is most familiar with this kind of thing should be Peter, but Peter is now in Washington, DC, and he can't quench his thirst, unless he makes it clear on the phone, Peter's side probably won't know what's going on inside.

Back in his hotel room, Jimmy took out two pieces of paper from the locker and read them along with the information provided by Mrs. Harriton.

The information given by Mrs. Hareton is indeed the main shareholders and information of the Hareton Foundation, including the proportion of their respective shares, just looking at these information, Jimmy suddenly found that Mrs. Hareton's worries seem to be very normal, Mr. Hareton does not occupy a particularly large number of shares, in fact, the second largest shareholder is only ten points less than him, if you unite with other small shareholders, it is easy to turn the tables at the shareholders' meeting.

But if it was just a reversal on the boardroom, it shouldn't theoretically cause personal safety problems to Mrs. Hariton, right? The change of ownership of the company should not be done to the major shareholders, right?

Continue to read, there are two recent bank accounts, both of which have hundreds of thousands of dollars in and out records, but it should be normal for this kind of rich person, right?

To be honest, Jimmy is not an expert in this kind of information collation and analysis, and maybe a professional can analyze the problem from these flows, but Jimmy is clear that at least these financial flows are not hired murderers......

Jimmy thought about it, he couldn't figure out what happened on his own, so it was best to consult. He picked up his phone and dialed Peter's: "Hey Peter, are you working?" ”

Peter: "Of course, what's the matter?" ”

Jimmy: "yes, you know I'm investigating that rich man's bombing, and I got some company and shareholder information from his widow, and she gave me an extra bank statement, and I found hundreds of thousands of dollars in money here.

You know I'm not familiar with finance, can you help me see if there's anything out of the ordinary? ”

Peter: "Why? How would you investigate these? Isn't it a bombing? ”

Jimmy: "Well, according to the information that has been available so far, this is a typical murder case for hire, and the murderer is very professional, very, very professional, there is no clear clue to lock the identity of the murderer, you can only investigate the main messenger behind the scenes, and the person who can spend a lot of money to hire such a professional to do things must have a considerable hatred or dispute with the deceased, so ......"

Peter: "Oh, I see, fax me." ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, I'll go out and find a print shop to fax you." ”

Peter didn't refuse at all, and he didn't feel embarrassed to listen to the voice, Jimmy hung up the phone happily, and it must have been more interesting to have someone like Peter who is familiar with the financial industry to help.

However, he didn't go out to fax immediately, but continued to look at the other two pieces of paper, which also recorded the information of two people, but this is much simpler, only basic information, if you want to investigate in depth, it may take a lot of time, this person who gives information is too lazy, how good it is to give a detailed one.

Moreover, it is more likely that they will be framed by giving the information so secretly, Jimmy put down the information, took a bottle of water and opened it and drank two sips, leaning on the back of the chair to ponder about this matter, maybe he shouldn't have directly investigated it, so that others would have a headache.

He picked up the phone and dialed Dave's number, but unfortunately the other party was busy on the call, and after a while, Dave called Jimmy's phone back, "Jimmy, is there something wrong?" ”

Jimmy: "Yes, I received an anonymous profile with some information on it that I thought might be interesting for you to read. There was also some information about the Hareton Foundation from the widow of the deceased. ”

Dave: "When did you get it?" ”

Jimmy: "I got the documents today, but the anonymous person sent an envelope with the address and the key to the storage box to my hotel two days ago, so he should have prepared the documents earlier. ”

There was no sound from Dave's side, and after a dozen seconds he said, "OK, fax me." ”

Dave gave Jimmy his fax number and quickly hung up.

Now it's easy to do, Jimmy sorted out the information, got dressed and left the hotel, it was too easy to find a print shop in Los Angeles, and soon the two documents were passed on to Peter and Dave in succession, Jimmy came out of the print shop, found a roadside restaurant to eat, and returned to the hotel to rest.

It turned out that Jimmy's judgment was right, Peter received a fax, and in just a few hours, he received a call from Peter in the evening, "Jimmy, I think your guess is very probable, and judging from the current information, the person who compiled this information for you already has a clear suspect." ”

Jimmy laughed out loud and said with a smile, "It seems that you have found a lot of things, do you have any key information?" ”

Peter: "Well, I made some additional inquiries, in addition to the two bank card statements, there are other accounts that also have abnormal fund flows, and the timing is also correct, there have been many large fund flows in the past month, but there are several shell companies in the collection account, according to the suspicion of hired murderers, these funds do have this possibility to be used for payment." I'll send you an email later, remember to check.

By the way, this kind of person is usually not very easy to handle, if necessary, you can scare him, if you need to I can give you a call, it should be useful. ”

Jimmy: "Who's?" ”

Peter: "A director at IRS headquarters, but it's better not to use it, I've met since I came to DC, you know, I don't know it well." ”

Jimmy: "OK, that's great, so I'm confident." Thanks, you're still in the game? It's a lot of overtime, so rest early and see you soon. ”

Jimmy opened his laptop and checked Peter's email, which contained several scanned pictures of bank records, on which Peter thoughtfully marked Jimmy with the unusual money records he found, so he didn't need to check it again.

Until Jimmy rested, Dave's side didn't give any news, it seems that there is a little problem on his side, and it is estimated that he will have to communicate with some people, but it doesn't matter, Jimmy can deal with the Hareton Foundation's side first, and it is not a big deal to see the excitement, anyway, it is not that his life is in danger.

The next day, Jimmy took care of it and drove to the apartment of Bradley Lester, the second shareholder of the Hareton Foundation, which was marked in the information provided by Mrs. Hariton, and if you wanted to choose the one with the greatest chance of meeting Lester, it would definitely be his apartment, and even if the person was not there, he could ask others to inform him to come back as soon as possible.

Bradley Lester is of course also a rich man, judging from the data, he is a typical financial elite, and he is also in charge of the securities company under the name of the Hareton Foundation, a person who can become bigger and stronger in this industry, and it is estimated that no one will believe him to say that he is a law-abiding and friendly citizen.

In the Skyline Building, a high-end apartment building, Jimmy is reminded by the security guards that he needs to check the names of the people he is visiting, and they notify them on his behalf.

Jimmy didn't refuse, after all, this is the normal job of these security personnel, after revealing his identity and wanting to meet Bradley Lester, the security guard contacted someone on the walkie-talkie, and only after getting confirmation did he help Jimmy press the elevator floor to go upstairs.

Bradley Lester's apartment is on the upper floor, and from the elevator up, he found that there is a family on the left and right, and it can be seen from the structure of the room type that he sees in his mental vision, that their apartment design is basically a large flat structure, with a lot of space.

There are cameras in the hallway and near the elevator, Jimmy walks to the door and presses the doorbell, a man who looks like a maid opens the door, and Jimmy says, "I'm FBI agent Jimmy Young, I need to see Mr. Lester." ”

"Please come in, Mr. Lester has been informed."

The maid walks Jimmy into the apartment, and the entrance is an oversized foyer with abstract art paintings on the walls, creating an atmosphere of Renaissance and modernism.

The living room is an open space, equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide a direct view of the magnificent city outside.

Jimmy was still envious, this kind of apartment was not something that a working-class man like him could touch, damn rich.

A brown-haired middle-aged man stood up from the sofa, Lester was about 60 years old according to the information, but he seemed to be in good spirits, probably this is the way of the rich to maintain.

Lester: "Good morning, Agent ......"

Jimmy walked over and shook his hand: "Jimmy Young, a regulatory agent in the FBI's New York office. ”

Lester motioned for Jimmy to sit down and talk, Jimmy didn't say too much politeness to him, after all, he didn't really want to investigate the case and muddy the waters, so there was no need to make friends.

"Mr. Lester, I have come here primarily to learn about the murder of Mr. Hariton.

Did you go with Mr. Hareton to his little island in the Virgin Islands a month ago? Where were you before Mr. Hareton was killed? ”

Lester's face changed drastically, and he stared at Jimmy and said, "You doubt me? ”

Jimmy looked at him with a smile, "Please don't get so excited, I'm just here to find out where Mr. Hareton and the people around him are." ”
