Dave and Jimmy on the phone at night, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, this time the matter is a bit tricky, the key is that it has nothing to do with him, of course, he can't carry the trouble this time.

After thinking about it for a moment, he picked up the phone and sent several text messages one after another, and then waited for someone to reply. When you reach a certain level, even if your mobile phone is not on your body temporarily, there is an assistant or someone else to help hold it, and there will be no situation where you can't see the message, and you have to believe that his number is definitely not dispensable for people at this level.

Sure enough, soon the text message prompt sounded, Dave looked at it, and did not return calls and texts.

Early the next morning, instead of going to the office, Dave drove to a golf course in New Jersey.

After changing his clothes, he took his own rod and got into a golf cart to the field, and waited for people while practicing, and soon two cars also came to him, put down the people and equipment, and left.

"It's a nice day." A middle-aged man about Dave's age spoke first, and another gray-haired old man had already begun to pull out his club and start moving.

Dave didn't reply, but continued to stare at his target, swung the club hard, and with a "bang", the golf ball flew out and disappeared in an instant.

Dave put his club on the ground with both hands, looked at the two and said, "Well, the weather is nice, I hope you're in a good mood right now." ”

The old man moved his limbs and asked, "Looks like there's some bad news, tell me, Dave." ”

Dave: "Hareton over there I want you to take a break from all activities, two people in Los Angeles have died in a couple of days, and things have changed. ”

The old man stopped his warm-up exercise, he looked at Dave with a calm expression and said, "Who?" ”

Dave: "One was someone who had attended Hareton's banquet, and the other was a shareholder of his foundation, both of whom were related to him. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the old man and said, "Has the investigation of Harriton's side been clear?" ”

Dave: "Not yet, as I told you before, the people are too professional, and the detectives in charge of the investigation have already searched for clues, but they still haven't locked down the suspect." Now it looks like the people behind the scenes may be active again. ”

Old man: "It doesn't seem that easy, Colin, how much money have they raised?" ”

Colin, a middle-aged man, said: "Maybe a few million, but at the moment it is only an estimate, and the actual number may be less." ”

The old man sighed, "Okay, let's think of something else. ”

Colin: "It's not a big problem, the party primaries are still very long, and we still have a lot of advantages. ”

The old man shook his head: "This time is different, but let's go back and communicate with the others." ”

Dave didn't interrupt their conversation, just listened quietly.

The old man began to move his limbs again, "Dave, the man of the two...... Are they reliable? ”

Dave shrugged: "Of course, he's the best." ”

The old man nodded: "I think maybe we should investigate more." ”

Dave shook his head: "It's Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles office of the three major divisions is there, if we're going to meddle......"

Old man: "Let's think again." ”

To put it bluntly, this time it is a competition between multiple candidates in the party, which is not directly related to people in functional departments like him, and the factional struggle is a struggle between the upper echelons, and everyone else is a pawn, even if they are not happy, they still have to be consistent with their own faction.

New York and California are both traditional blue states, but internal competition is still everywhere, and for some, there are only two or three key candidates, and at this stage, of course, they want to do whatever it takes to take out their opponents and ensure that their people make it to the final stage.

For them, the amount of funds raised determines the exposure and success rate of the candidates to a certain extent, and for these businessmen who provide political donations, do something for them and delay the pace of their funding, as long as the party primary is over, they will have nothing to choose from, and naturally they can only support the winners.

In fact, in addition to the people from Hareton's family in Los Angeles, there are two people in New York in the list that Dave provided to Jimmy, and these two people are also provided by these people, and the "traitors" who appear in the New York base camp can also make them lose their way and return to the faction if they can take advantage of the "lesson" now.

This plan was also implemented at the suggestion of some bigwigs' staff, and for Dave in key positions, there was nothing that could be done with just a mouth, after all, it was Jimmy who did the work, and Jimmy's ability was not doubted, and he would definitely be able to do it.

Now because of this elusive professional killer, two more suspected murders have been triggered, and their previous plan has completely failed, after all, everyone is from the same party, and they just wanted to make it a little more difficult to make them troublesome, who would have thought that there would be another murder.

The old man and the middle-aged Colin stopped talking about these things, changed the subject and talked about some other things, and the three of them played for a while and left the club.

Dave is not exactly their microphone, now this matter is obviously out of control, he wants to directly intervene in Jimmy's investigation to make him return to investigate the two dead people, Jimmy may not refuse, but there will definitely be opinions, after all, the yacht explosion case that has been investigating these days has not made any progress at all, and now it is not so simple for him to change his target to investigate the homicide, the key is that it is Los Angeles, once they get out of the original case and start investigating something else, they will definitely be interfered with.

New York, Los Angeles, and Washington DC are the three largest branches of the FBI, and like Dave, these two divisions are managed by higher-level personnel, and there are more corresponding field personnel, and Jimmy is dispatched by the headquarters to deal with the yacht bombing case, so he and Mark, who came to Los Angeles before, can get the support of the Los Angeles office, calling materials, vehicles, personnel, etc., but if he wants to deal with the death case that happened in Los Angeles, it is more powerful, even if these two death cases are suspected to be unnatural deaths, It should also be handled by someone from the LAPD or Los Angeles office.

Dave returned to his office, looked up some information, picked up the note on his desk, glanced at it, and called directly to book a plane ticket to Washington, DC.

——

Mrs. Harriton's operation went smoothly, although she was not young, but she was in good health, and she was transferred out of the hospital shortly after leaving the ICU, after all, it was not suitable for her to stay for a long time, not because she couldn't afford to pay for it, but that the place itself was not for people like her, and it was already a function of money to be able to arrange emergency surgery after an accident.

The news of Jimmy's killing of the old man did not reach Mrs. Hareton, because they were not particularly close-knit family members, in fact, Mr. Hareton was the person in charge of their family's external business, and the network was also on his side, and after Hareton died, Mrs. Hareton did not fully receive Mr. Hareton's network, but she still quickly took over the Hareton family business, after all, these are things on the surface.

But on the night she returned to Sunstone Villa, the news of the death of a shareholder of the foundation came, even if it was only because of the leakage of the wires next to the bathtub that caused him to be electrocuted while bathing, it was a complete accident, but Mrs. Hareton did not believe that this incident was an accident at all, although her bodyguard was not a professional killer, still gave the same judgment, this death was not an accident, although he himself could not do it so cleanly, but I believe that someone must be able to do it.

As Jimmy had guessed, Mrs. Harriton's team was also inclined to believe that her previous car accident was man-made, and now that she had just been discharged from the hospital and another shareholder of the company had died, this was definitely not an isolated incident, but she was not sure who did it for the time being.

She hired two personal bodyguards before on the one hand to remind Jimmy, on the other hand, she also knew some of her husband's previous things, it is impossible to completely disbelieve the professional speculation given by the FBI agent, after she investigated some things, she immediately understood that her situation was very dangerous, but time and control of the company are not advantageous on her side, so you must try to give accurate information while ensuring your own safety, let the FBI intervene, and give others a warning, at least so that you can delay for a while.

But Mrs. Hareton's plan was wrong, she had no idea that someone was so eager to surprise her and reunite her with her husband, and judging by the death of another shareholder, it seemed that the other person wanted more than herself.

When Jimmy called her, she didn't dare to tell Jimmy that she was back, and now she really didn't know who to trust, even if the FBI agent was credible in any way, she still didn't dare to guarantee that the news of her return would not leak out.

This Agent Yang's investigation is very open-minded, she can know where Jimmy lives, and others can naturally do the same, if he comes to the manor to find him, he will probably bring the stalker over, and he can't risk it now.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Hareton called her lawyer and asked her lawyer to help her make an appointment with a few people to meet her in a hidden place, which she was not in a position to call herself.

Sebastian Molloy, the family's lawyer, was in a way very reliable, and even at night, Sebastian did what Mrs. Hareton asked, quickly informed everyone, and then changed his clothes and left the apartment.

Los Angeles isn't very safe, but it doesn't include a few well-known and wealthy neighborhoods, and some of the people who were notified went to a hidden club as agreed.

In a small conference room, Sebastian still used his laptop to connect to a projector and connect to Mrs. Hareton's video link.

Mrs. Hareton leaned weakly on the head of the bed and looked at the monitor in front of her, which showed several monitors in the conference room, and you could observe the few people sitting at the conference table from multiple angles, "Everyone, I'm sorry to let you run over so late, I think everyone already knows about Pete, what do you think?" ”

A middle-aged man looked at Mrs. Hareton and frowned and asked, "We already know about Pete, but, Mrs. Hariton, are you hurt?" What happened? ”

Mrs. Hareton blocked her own surgery for safety, except for Jimmy, the agent who was the person she needed to contact, no one else was notified, she shook her head and said, "It was just an operation in the hospital, nothing." What do you guys think about Pete? What do the police say? ”

The middle-aged man looked at the others, they all turned their heads to look at him, he understood that he could only speak by himself, he looked at the camera on the table and said: "The police gave the statement that he was accidentally electrocuted, they checked Pete's house, and found no signs of being invaded, and no other problems." ”

Mrs. Hareton didn't look very good, "Just an accident?" In fact, I just had a car accident a few days ago and the brakes were tampered with. ”

Several people were in a commotion, and the people who sat in were also whispering something, their faces were not very good-looking, and the middle-aged man asked in surprise: "You went to the hospital because of a car accident?" ”

Mrs. Hareton nodded, "So you still think that Pete's side died unexpectedly?" I think someone has already started to do it, first my husband and his partner, then Pete...... You have to pay attention to it, too. ”

The middle-aged man lowered his head and groaned for a moment, then raised his head and said, "That FBI agent is still investigating Mr. Harriton's case, do you want him to investigate?" ”

Mrs. Harriton: "No, the police have already come to a conclusion, let's not bother with Pete's death anymore, I want to ask you all to pay attention to safety, I don't think the people behind the scenes will be limited to Pitt." ”

Seeing that several people nodded, she continued: "Okay, let's talk about the business you are responsible for, I think maybe we should try to avoid gathering recently." In addition, as much as possible, we should suspend external business and other unimportant matters, and I think we need to deal with our own urgent matters first. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Mrs. Hareton in surprise: "Does it include the election campaign?" ”

Mrs. Hareton: "Yes, suspend external business, I think our internal affairs will be more troublesome. Let's get started, everybody. ”

An emergency meeting was about to end, and Mrs. Hareton was able to observe everyone present, and when they were all done, Mrs. Hareton asked the bodyguards to turn off the video and asked, "Did you find anything?" In the midst of them? ”

The bodyguard shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't have any ideas, I can't tell them." ”

Mrs. Hareton waved his hand to let him go, and she leaned back on the bedside to recall what she had seen before, and now she couldn't make sure that there were any traitors among the people present, she had already shown in the video that she was in her room, and I believe they should be able to judge that they were in the manor, maybe this time there would be something to gain.

Sorry.,It's really hard to insert the plot and link it to my previous plan.,It's a bit of a delay.,I'll try to adjust the follow-up arrangement.,Don't delay time.,It's just that the updates of these two days will not be very fixed.,If you don't change it at noon.,It must be more at night.。
