Chapter 765
Jimmy's visit this time is completely reasonable, after all, he got the information from Mrs. Hareton and is the widow of the deceased Harriton, so there is no problem with the process at all, Lester's face changed drastically, and his bad attitude is also within his expectations, even if he goes to the FBI to complain about Jimmy, there is no problem, there is no violation.
Jimmy had already asked what he wanted to ask, and now waited for Lester to answer his words.
Lester's expression changed a few times, and finally he spoke, "The last time I saw Hareton was on the board two months ago, I hadn't been to that island a month ago, and I've been in Los Angeles lately except for a few business trips. ”
Jimmy: "But someone once said that you were there at the last meeting on the island before Mr. Hareton died. You know, I'm just doing the preliminary research right now, and if, I mean, the later investigation is not what you say, maybe the next time we meet, we won't be in the living room. ”
Lester: "I'm sure I didn't go to that party. ”
Jimmy: "And before?" ”
Lester: "I don't remember. Do you have any more questions? I have a lot of things to do. ”
Jimmy: "Well, in that case, I'll take my leave." ”
Jimmy got up to shake Lester's hand, and as soon as he turned around, he stopped, looked at Lester again, and took a piece of paper out of his pocket: "Oh, I forgot, there's one more thing." Mr. Lester, I hope there is a reasonable explanation for some of your large money movements, after all, you should have guessed that Mr. Hareton was hired to kill, and he is an absolute professional, and such a person is not cheap. ”
Jimmy didn't give the paper to Lester, but unfolded it and showed it to him in his hand. This is a printed out attachment in Peter's email, and Peter thoughtfully marked a few records of large amounts of money in and out on it, so it is very eye-catching.
Lester took a look: "What does this have to do with me?" ”
Jimmy: "Let's take a look, I hope to get your reply soon." Goodbye, Mr. Lester. ”
Jimmy put away the piece of paper, turned around and left Lester's apartment, he had already shown Lester the evidence in his hand, whether he saw it clearly or not, anyway, he shouldn't have slept for a few days, damn rich man.
Leaving the building, Jimmy turned his head and looked, from now on, Lester should have further action, Mrs. Hareton may be under more pressure, is it considering adding another yard?
Sitting in the car and leaving, at a gas station, Jimmy got out of the car and went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of water, just sat in the car and thought, it would be better to continue, at least the shareholders of the Hareton Foundation and leave them aside.
The other people's shares are much less than those of Hareton and Lester, but they are not inferior to a few of them by beating rabbits in the grass anyway.
It is not a good thing to be knocked on the door directly by the FBI to find someone, except for one person who avoids it, Jimmy has successfully contacted them and met with them, and the effect is not bad, especially when Jimmy mentions that it is not ruled out that someone hired a murderer for personal gain, and the suspect may be an acquaintance of Hareton, their faces are not very good, which also shows that the relationship between Mr. Hareton and his partner does not seem to be so good, at least from the expressions of these people do not see much sadness.
Mrs. Hareton was somewhat emotionally fluctuating when Jimmy mentioned her husband, and the men were calm, even somewhat gloating, only to be angry when Jimmy put his suspicions on them.
The day passed quietly, and the news that Jimmy had been waiting for for a long time finally came, and Dave called Jimmy in the evening and asked Jimmy to find a fax machine tomorrow, and he would fax a document to Jimmy.
It took a whole day, and the people behind Dave seemed to be a little sluggish, of course, maybe they needed to discuss the target, but it was undeniable that there must have been some problems between them, resulting in a delay in making a decision, but it has nothing to do with themselves, anyway, as long as they do more things, they will definitely have to deal with the trouble they cause.
However, Jimmy was surprised to get the information given by Dave, there were only four people on it, but three of them were not in Los Angeles, one was in San Francisco, and two were in New York.
Dave: What do they want to do? Is this going to be a strain? How could he connect them when they were so far apart? This is obviously embarrassing for me!
Jimmy complained while looking at the information, anyway, he was going to do something, it didn't matter, Jimmy took out the two pieces of paper he took out of the locker before, and flicked it, "Okay, count you unlucky." ”
Anyway, a sheep is also released, and a group of sheep is also a chase, so let's do it, no matter who gave the information, let's get high together.
However, before Jimmy's action, he still harassed Mrs. Hareton again as usual, after all, the previous information was given by her, and now that Jimmy has met with everyone else, he also needs to see how it works, theoretically now that a night has passed, these people should have moved a little.
After calling Mrs. Hareton and asking her to meet at the office in the afternoon, Jimmy followed the information provided on the profile to find the first victim of the day.
He took the time to communicate with Agent Wright in Miami about his investigation of the port, which was also a routine inquiry in the past few days, but he already knew that there must be no clues, in fact, Jimmy had given up the investigation before.
I have to say that Winston still has quite professional personnel in his hands, and no matter how difficult it is to get on a yacht and install explosives without knowing it, it is not something that ordinary people can do with accurate detonation at sea. What's more, except for a little clue leaked on the island, there are no other clear clues to identify the murderer, which shows their level of organization.
If only the murderer cleaned up the traces, he would definitely not be able to do it so cleanly, whether it was before or after, someone must have carefully planned the entire movement route, which could avoid the ubiquitous cameras and personnel witnessing, you must know that the explosion occurred in the morning, and although the people on the port at that time could not say the most, it would certainly not be like at night when there was no one except the security guards.
Jimmy has been doing this kind of thing for the past few years, and he is considered to be experienced, if he can't find it, then unless others are lucky enough to have an accident, it will be difficult to find the corresponding clues.
Jimmy reassured a few words, and then let Wright continue, especially pay attention to the kidnapping and imprisonment case, if the murderer can clearly know the monitoring route on the island, it is very likely that there are internal ghosts, but in this case, those security guards will definitely not admit it even if they are internal ghosts, so as long as you keep the most basic attention, there is no need to follow too closely.
Agent Wright is also unlucky, just dragged here by this case, there is nothing to gain, although Jimmy has some pity for this guy, but he can't declare the case sealed, the matter on his side has not been resolved, he can only let Agent Wright be wronged for a few more days, what information to investigate is not an investigation, anyway, it is to kill time, let him decide for himself.
Mark is relatively better, leaving the investigation team not because of incompetence, but because of an accident that led to hospitalization, Jimmy asked him to leave the investigation team and go back just to free him, and when he recovers from his injuries, he can go back to the homicide team to do normal things, and he doesn't need to take the blame for this case afterwards, from this point of view, he is much luckier than Wright.
Of course, don't think about it, including Jimmy, if you want to get some credit from this case, everyone is a pawn, but Jimmy controls the two of them, and the others control Jimmy, of course, now Jimmy wants to do something by himself, which can be regarded as a little more autonomy.
The information in the storage box still has something to do with the deceased Harriton, and the two people above are strictly said to have business and economic disputes with Hariton, obviously the person who gave the information to Jimmy is very familiar with this case, and also knows what Jimmy will investigate in order to give such accurate information.
Although I don't know who it is, but it makes no difference to Jimmy, he came to the front desk of the building, and was about to talk to the front desk, when he suddenly noticed two people walking from the side, one of them was his target, this luck really said, no one can be found later.
"Mr. Andrew Robbins, please wait." Jimmy turned his head directly to look at the two of them, and stretched out his hand to stop: "FBI special agent Jimmy Young, I need to talk to you." ”
The person next to Robbins reached out in front of him, and then stood between Jimmy and Robbins, so it looked like this guy should be in the role of a bodyguard, "Mr. Robbins has something to leave now, if you want to get in touch, please make an appointment here." ”
Jimmy reached out and pushed the security guard's hand away, "Mr. Robbins, I need to talk to you about you and Mr. Hariton, I don't think it will take up much of your time." ”
Robbins frowned and looked at Jimmy, he didn't know why the FBI was looking for him, he patted the bodyguard, the bodyguard took a step to the side to leave room for him to face Jimmy directly, "I don't have anything to do with Harriton, I think you're looking for the wrong person." ”
Jimmy: "No, I'm looking for you, let's talk?" It will soon be over. ”
Robbins thought for a few seconds, nodded, it was definitely not convenient to speak near the front desk, the three of them came to the corner of the hall where there was no one, Jimmy said straight to the point: "Mr. Robbins, I came here today to inquire about the dispute between you and Mr. Hareton over an acquisition case a few months ago. ”
Robbins spread his hands: "We don't have a problem, it's just a failed acquisition." ”
Jimmy: "But this is also Mr. Harriton's most recent vendetta case. ”
Robbins frowned, "So you suspect I hired someone to do it?" Don't look at me like that, it's been half a month since the news of Harriton's death happened, and it's been spread all over the place, and I think most people have already guessed it. ”
Jimmy shrugged, "Okay, you're right, but any relevant clues are the target of our investigation, including Mr. Harriton's recent rivals and possible enemies. ”
Robbins pouted, "I've had some disputes with him, but after all, it's some disputes over business operations, and this kind of thing happens every day in this city."
Business is business, even if we are in the position of rivals because of an acquisition, we can still attend gatherings together at other times and discuss the prospects of the industry together, and there will be no such vicious competition.
I know you need to investigate, but I can be very clear that this is not my business, so please don't bother me again. ”
After Robbins finished speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Jimmy a chance to continue questioning, while the bodyguard stood directly in front of Jimmy and took a few steps backwards before following Mr. Robbins out of the building.
Jimmy watched as he left and didn't move, just watched, until he watched through the glass wall of the hall as they got into an RR and left, then came to the front desk and pulled out a business card of his own: "Help me give it to Mr. Robbins, help me bring a message, I'll wait for his call." ”
Of course, the front desk also saw the interaction between Jimmy and Robbins just now, and she didn't know what they were talking about, so she took the business card to avoid accidents.
Jimmy watched as the front desk tucked his business card to a file folder, then nodded and left the building.
Frankly, Robbins gave Jimmy a pretty good feeling, although there was some superior arrogance, but from his expression and movements, it could be seen that there was some frank momentum, which means that even if it was only for this case, he was very sure that nothing would be involved.
This kind of openness was completely different from the other shareholders of the Hareton Foundation he had met, and those people always gave the impression of a ghost in Jimmy's heart when he questioned him.
From this point of view, this Robbins is definitely a rank above the others, and of course, it can be seen that he and Hareton are definitely on the same level, and they should be familiar with each other.
Looking at the time, Jimmy had lunch and went directly to the Hareton Foundation, the time was a little early, Jimmy waited in the reception room under the arrangement of the front desk, but he still did not see Mrs. Hareton come to the company at the appointed time.
He got up with a frown and asked the front desk to help contact him to confirm, only to find that no one answered the phone.
Jimmy tapped his finger on the desk at the front desk and thought, "Is there any other way to connect?" Call her home and ask. ”
The front desk shook her head: "Sorry, I don't have any other contact information for her, except for her mobile phone number." ”
Jimmy took out a business card and gave it to her: "Lady Hareton will contact me as soon as she returns, thank you." ”
After saying that, Jimmy left the Hareton Foundation directly, and the matter finally developed to a fun stage, it seems that some people can't wait to start the action, whether it is what Mrs. Hareton did or someone else is targeting her, if the phone cannot be contacted, something must be wrong.
