767 Seduction
Jimmy put a fire and went back to rest, Mrs. Hareton didn't sleep for the night, not only she didn't sleep, but the security guards were all dispatched, some of them followed the direction of Jimmy left, and some of them were in the villa to conduct a thorough inspection to prevent anyone from coming in from other places.
Of course, the servants in the manor were also awakened by such a big movement, but they were asked by these security guards to hide in the room and not come out, so at least there was no confusion in the contents of the villa, but if you want to sleep peacefully, don't think about it.
Jimmy's shot didn't hurt anything, but it gave Mrs. Hareton a very wrong signal that they were here to demonstrate and didn't want to go straight into the house and kill people.
Mrs. Hareton discussed it with her bodyguard, and came up with such an uncertain idea.
In the environment at that time, it was impossible for the other party to find out that the security guards in the villa already knew that someone was coming and was ready to ambush in the room, so it was easy to judge that the other party's purpose was actually to warn, but it was not clear who was warning her for the time being, but one thing must be considered, that is, to move out of this manor immediately, it is no longer safe here, and the information about returning to the manor has been leaked.
Not many people knew that they had returned to the manor, and the servants and security guards in the manor were very sure that they had not been in contact with the outside world, so the only possibility was the family lawyer and the people who attended the meeting that day.
The family lawyer, Mrs. Sebastian Harriton, still has a lot of trust, and the next step is to find someone to investigate those people, the task of making the bait herself has been completed, and now it is time to ensure safety.
Her bodyguards did agree with the transfer, but they did not recommend transferring now, the people just now may just be luring them out of the manor, if they ambush outside at night, her safety cannot be guaranteed at all, none of the cars in the manor are fully bulletproof, let alone heavy firepower, even if it is just a pistol fire, it can't be carried by even a pistol shot.
The security guards outside didn't chase far before returning, and they were also worried that if they diverted the tiger away from the mountain, they wouldn't be able to let the other party run away and the people they were protecting would not have an accident, and they could still tell which side was more important.
A group of people held on to the villa until it was light, and then Mrs. Hareton moved to her wheelchair and pushed her to a car, where several bodyguards drove out in multiple cars to the next safe place.
Mrs. Hareton thought about it all night, but she still didn't understand why the other party would give her a warning, no matter from which point of view, the other party should not arrange such a person to warn herself, unless there is a mutually exclusive reason, such as someone betraying herself and providing her own situation to the opponent, and at the same time worrying about her own safety, arranging someone to warn herself before the opponent makes a move, so that she can leave the manor.
However, such reasons made it even more difficult for her to determine who had done it, and given the current situation, she had to put all the people present at the meeting under suspicion.
Mrs. Hareton had been a housewife for a long time, and she had not been involved in the operation of the family business and the building of her network, and she did not have much business experience before, so now in the face of such a complicated scene, she can only try to get some advice from others.
——
While Mrs. Hareton was busy moving to the safe house, Lester was not having a good time, he had been in the safe house for a few days, and had been arranging the company's affairs by remote control, and at the same time he had found someone to help investigate Mrs. Harriton's situation, but he had not received any useful information for the time being.
Lester didn't plan to physically eliminate Mrs. Hariton, after all, it was more of a battle for control between them, and it wasn't necessary to kill, but there were some things he knew he couldn't control, and Mrs. Hareton would definitely not let him go.
After all, Pete is dead, no matter how you think about it, she feels that Mrs. Hareton is the most suspicious, she must know about the deal between herself and Pete, maybe she won't send someone to kill her, but she deliberately targets herself in the company, and it is still possible to clean up her subordinates, and the major shareholder and CEO have a lot of power.
Lester, the participant in that meeting, already knew, but he was now only on the defensive, so after contacting a few people, he stopped all his actions and focused on his safe house waiting for news from outside.
But what he didn't expect was that he soon got the news that someone had invaded Hareton's manor and shot him, and Mrs. Hareton had left the cottage without accident, and was now investigating who did it.
This news comes from an intermediate intelligence agent, and it can be determined that the news must be accurate, after all, he spent a lot of money to buy intelligence, but who did it has not yet been investigated.
Lester didn't do it himself, this operation showed that there were still people behind Mrs. Hariton, and it was obvious that she wanted her life, and now it seems that Harriton's death is not the end, and the people behind the scenes will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so there is no need to do anything for himself, just wait for the final result.
Lester took the bottle and glass from the nearby shelf, and after being in the safe house for so long, he could finally relax.
——
The news from Dave's side was still very fast, but this time it seemed to be a little different, Jimmy received a call from the hotel front desk and someone sent him a package.
Jimmy asked the front desk to bring the package up, and when he opened it, there were several character profiles and a note with only Dave's name written on it.
He didn't even call, but sent it through a document, obviously to avoid suspicion, but is this something that can be avoided? As long as Jimmy investigates the people inside, he will definitely leave traces, and if anyone has doubts, Jimmy can't explain it at all.
Dave is purely asking for trouble for himself, the previous investigation of these people did not appear in the records of those people, it is difficult to integrate perfectly into the report, if you want to investigate them, you will inevitably need a reason in the first place.
Jimmy had no choice but to call Mrs. Hareton and her lawyer Sebastian again, hoping to talk to them in person, after all, his case had never ended, and they had not given themselves a chance to meet since they had provided information in their previous meeting, which was also unreasonable.
However, this reason was rejected outright, and Mrs. Hareton said that she was currently recuperating from the operation and it was inconvenient to see anyone.
Jimmy didn't get used to them anymore, and directly contacted the technician in the New York office to call up Mrs. Harriton's phone location.
It's really a pain, I just went to alarm Mrs. Hareton once, and I have to meet again to make up for the source of my clues, I knew that I wouldn't do it first, it should be more convenient to come to the door when Mrs. Hareton was in the manor, and now she ran directly to the safe house, which made Jimmy a little more troublesome.
But fortunately, because the phone was connected just now, it is still possible for FBI technicians to use the phone to locate it, but I didn't expect that she didn't choose to hide in a deserted place in the suburbs, but came to a high-end apartment in the city, is it because there are many people here, and the other party doesn't dare to do it in this kind of place?
Sometimes I really can't figure out what these rich people are thinking, but since it's in the city center, it's more convenient for Jimmy. He went to the downstairs of the apartment building and called Mrs. Hareton again, only this time to tell the other party's location directly, he was already downstairs, and if she disagreed, she would pay for the consequences.
Some people really don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and being too good at talking will leave people with a feeling of weakness and bullying, and Mrs. Hareton's impression of Jimmy before was like this, an ordinary FBI agent, and there was nothing special about the little people.
Now in the face of the strong phone call and figuring out her location with just one phone call, she finally did not continue to refuse Jimmy, she asked a bodyguard to go downstairs to pick Jimmy up, and Jimmy finally saw Mrs. Hareton again.
Jimmy: "Good afternoon, Mrs. Hariton, are you alright?" ”
Mrs. Hareton is no longer lying on the hospital bed, just resting in a wheelchair, "I'm sorry, the doctor told me that I still need to recuperate for a while, so I haven't seen you a few days ago, is there anything wrong with the detective?" ”
Jimmy: "Oh, it's fine. He took out the information provided by Sebastian, the lawyer last time, from his briefcase and patted it, "These are the materials you provided last time, I have done some research, but to my surprise, many of these people have gone into hiding, I want to know why?" ”
The expression on Mrs. Harriton's face was a little unnatural, and Jimmy stared at her face and suddenly said, "One more thing, why did you choose to come here to recuperate?" And not your estate. What's going on there? ”
Mrs. Hareton was surprised, "How do you know...... Oh no, nothing, just a little more convenient here and closer to the hospital. ”
Jimmy shook his head, "Do you mean that because it's so close, you're staying here with a few bodyguards?" I'm an FBI agent, not a newspaper reporter, do you think I'd believe that? ”
The expression on Mrs. Hareton's face kept changing, but Jimmy didn't give him time to think of a reason, leaned forward and approached Mrs. Hareton, raised her voice and said, "Someone is going to kill you?" How do you know? ”
The bodyguard standing next to him suddenly approached a little, and Mrs. Hareton waved her hand, and the bodyguard stepped back a little and returned to his original position. "The night before yesterday someone broke into my manor and fired a shot, but he left immediately after the shot, and we found no trace of the intruder, and we don't know who it was," said Mrs. Hareton. ”
Jimmy stared at Mrs. Hareton with a glare: "Mrs. Hariton, I have great respect for your privacy, but your husband was assassinated just a month ago, and now you have also been shot by an unknown person, why didn't you inform me of such an important matter?" What are you hiding? Do you know who the other person is? ”
Jimmy is now acting more like an angry agent, as they have deprived themselves of one of the most important clues of the near future, "If you had informed me earlier, I could have mobilized the technologists to track it down, and maybe I could have found your husband's killer." Now, tell me what really happened? ”
Mrs. Hareton looked at the bodyguard next to her and nodded, and the bodyguard said, "Mr. Detective, the people who invaded the manor did not enter the villa, but only fired a shot outside and fled. ”
Jimmy turned to look at the bodyguard, "I need to know everything." ”
Bodyguard: "The infrared alarm we arranged in the manor was triggered, and through the night vision device, we found that a person climbed over the wall and was gradually approaching the main building of the villa, but he did not enter the villa, he shot at a distance of twenty or thirty meters from the main building of the villa, and then immediately turned around and ran away, and went out over the wall.
We were on guard in the house after we found him, and we didn't go out, and we chased him out after the other party shot and fled, but we didn't catch up with him, and we left the manor in the morning to make sure we were safe, and we haven't left since. ”
Jimmy: "Did you find any clues?" Objects or other traces left by the other party? ”
Bodyguard: "I'm sorry, because it was night, we didn't find anything, and we didn't go back to the manor after leaving, and we didn't continue to investigate. ”
Jimmy frowned and thought for a while, and looked at Mrs. Hariton: "Mrs. Hariton, I think you are also aware of the current situation, you are still in danger, I hope you can think about it, do you have any suspicions?" Competitor? Insiders? Or is it a hostile force? ”
Mrs. Hareton sighed and shook her head: "I don't know, we transferred after the incident, and we have been investigating for the past two days, but there are no clues. ”
Jimmy: "Who knows about your return to the manor?" You were still in the hospital the last time I was there. ”
Mrs. Hareton paused for a moment, did not answer, and after waiting a few seconds, she said, "I had a video conference with people from some companies after I was discharged from the hospital, and I haven't contacted anyone else since. ”
Jimmy: "Including your lawyer?" ”
Mrs. Hareton: "He knows. ”
Jimmy gave Mrs. Hareton the information they had given him again: "I think this information needs to be updated, please trust our professionalism." ”
After Mrs. Hareton took the information, Jimmy said again: "I think this incident should be related to the murder of Mr. Hariton, and our previous investigation did not find any clues, so let's change the direction of the investigation, Mr. Hareton in addition to business competitors, does Mr. Hareton have any other hostile forces?" Please think again, maybe there is something that we missed in our previous investigation, and any clues would be helpful to us. ”
The main goal of coming over this time is to find a way to lead the investigation direction to the opposite party, so that it is possible to investigate the people given by Dave in a targeted manner, otherwise Jimmy really can't do it, the key is that he didn't expect Dave to play with first-hand courier information, so that he can't find someone to blame.
Tomorrow at noon, I promise. In addition, this plot ended quickly, and I know that the content of the update is boring during this period of time, so I'm sorry.
