The Wolf of Los Angeles

In the office, Hawke took the USB flash drive handed over by Edward and took it on his laptop to look at the photos and videos taken by Carlos and Juan yesterday.

Most of them come from the entrance of the Hyatt Regency Beverly, with the protagonist being a middle-aged white man.

Emma Bateson personally went to open the car door for this man, which was enough to show the weight of the middle-aged man.

Edward said at this time: "Carlos and the others followed him quietly for a day. The man left Hyatt Hotel and went to Universal Pictures again. He saw that the area was the newly established Focus Pictures. He came out of Focus Pictures and went to Burbank. Visited Disney Pictures and Warner Pictures and are currently staying at the Burbank Hotel.”

"It's obviously an important person." Hawke asked, "Have you figured out your identity?"

Edward shook his head: "Carlos and the others can't contact the senior management. In order to avoid disturbing each other, they dare not rashly inquire from the hotel. It's still unclear."

Hawke first had to figure out who the other party was. He picked up the phone and called directly to Pacific Investment Group.

When the future mother-in-law Mary Ferguson answered the phone, Hawke said: "I have someone here, maybe from San Francisco. I have contact with Emma Bateson, the middleman I mentioned, to help determine if he is who."

When it comes to work, Mary Ferguson said without any extra words, "You send the photos and videos."

Hawke edited the photo through the encrypted email on Twitter and sent it to Mary.

Not long after, Mary called and said directly: "I know this person, Douglas Cost, the head of the San Francisco branch of Brad Investment Group. This time he came to Los Angeles, probably related to Twitter."

Hawke asked, "Is there anything more specific?"

Mary thought for a while and said, "I'll ask someone to collect his detailed information. I'll go to Twitter in an hour and we'll talk in person."

Hawke hung up the phone and suddenly found Edward opposite him happy.

This guy has been like eating joy farts in recent days.

Hawke was curious and asked, "Have you encountered something happy? Tell me."

Edward sat across from him and said with a smile: "I started dating Miller Collins' ex-wife."

Hawke had an impression: "Maria Collins?"

"That's right, it's her." Edward said roughly: "A few days ago, I saved her daughter Dorothy on Manhattan Beach. I've officially met her. She invited me to dinner that night. I asked her back yesterday. After her, everything went smoothly."

Hawke asked, "Save people? Could it be the hero you created to save the beauty, right?"

Edward quickly denied: "No, no, although I have been staring at them, the accident was not caused by me."

His dark face and smiled with a unique meaning: "Miller Collins was also our enemy at the time. That's how I thought about it. If I could get his ex-wife, it would also provide you with some emotional value."

This made Hawke laugh. The savior's ability is indeed average, but he has no choice but to be loyal.

Edward said seriously: "It's a pity that Miller Collins has become a homeless man, but he has been alive and cannot dance on his grave."

Hawke thought of Robert Downey Jr., and observed three seconds of silence for him, and then said to Edward: "Miller Collins became a homeless man?"

"When I was having dinner together, I heard what Maria said." Edward said briefly: "Miller Collins' property was basically awarded to his ex-wife, and he also gave his ex-wife and daughter a large amount of child support every month. He doesn't have enough source of income, so he simply chooses to wander."

He remembers the wandering place: "Like Frank, Miller Collins also got a RV, which was parked right behind the Ackerman Charity Foundation."

Hawke nodded slightly and said casually, "Call Eric if you have time, let's go and have a look."

Director Eric Ethan is Miller Collins's victim.

When the time was almost done, Hawke went downstairs and waited a little in the front hall for a while, Mary Ferguson brought his assistant into the Twitter gate.

The two went upstairs and talked in detail in the reception room.

Mary handed over the information to Hawke and said, "Douglas studied at Stanford Business School. After graduation, he was recommended to join the Black Market Group by former Governor Gray Davis. Later, BlackRock Group left Blackstone, and he gave up Blackstone. Joined BlackRock, who was transferred to the position of President of BlackRock's Los Angeles branch more than half a year ago, and was responsible for BlackRock's business affairs in California."

Hawke's focus was not on these public information, and asked: "Have there been any casualties or criminal punishments in the acquisition case he operated?"

"More than once." This is what Mary wants to say: "Last winter, a BlackRock investment in Silicon Valley was boycotted by the founder. The company was soon under tax investigation, and BlackRock scored below market forecasts. The estimated price has been completed. "

She obviously used resources to check: "BlackRock invested in a mineral company in Wyoming, and that company has now been investigated by the FBI."

Hawke couldn't help asking when he heard this, "It wasn't the attack I encountered with Erica?"

"Yes, Douglas was BlackRock's head in Wyoming at the time," Mary said.

"So they are old acquaintances." Hawke still remembers the group of stick gunmen. Mary said at this time: "Things have changed again. Do you remember the future development path designed by BlackRock and Pioneer International for the Blue Camp that I mentioned last time? The donkey approved it."

She seemed particularly cautious: "Although I don't know what the specific content is yet, this plan is said to involve various industries such as media, entertainment and finance. If you want to arouse the whole society's enthusiasm for marginalized people and the equal rights movement, you must also invest in financially Connected together.”

Hawke understood as soon as he heard it: "Douglas came to Los Angeles and visited the head of the film company at Universal Studios and Burbank. Their plans may use Hollywood as the leader, such as Hollywood movies focusing on marginal crowds and the black feminist movement. .”

Mary said again: "There are also media, they have always had an advantage in media."

At this point, she felt the importance of Twitter more and more: "Twitter has a huge influence among young people, and his goal this time is also yours and Twitter."

Hawke nodded and emphasized: "This plan is very powerful because it fits the current social development trend. Once a marginal movement is launched, the donkeys will reverse the decline in recent years and even cause a new social wave."

Mary said, “I’m going to go to Woodland Hills.”

Hawke understood what Woodland Hill meant, which was the residence of Erica's grandparents.

He sent Mary downstairs and told Edward after he came back: "We are living in the company these days. You go and notify the security supervisor Austin. The company's security level is the highest."

Edward called Austin immediately, then returned to the office to find the pistol to carry with him.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

At Burbank Hotel, Tim drove the Cadillac into the underground parking lot and went straight to the business private room on the top floor through the elevator.

Two bodyguards guarded the elevator exit and saw Tim. The black man said, "Wait a minute, the boss is calling."

Tim waited safely outside the door.

After more than ten minutes, the door of the suite opened and someone waved, and Tim entered.

Douglas pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit down and say."

When Tim sat down, he asked, "How are you doing here?"

"I moved diagonally across from Hawke Osmond's villa to monitor him in and out." Tim said in detail what he had done recently, and then focused on it: "I have someone find Miller Collins, he goes out." The mental state after prison is not very stable. As long as it is slightly stimulating, it will turn into a time bomb."

Coson, whom he hired, has been preparing: "The private detective we worked with, who has been posing as a Miller Collins fan during this time, has won his trust."

Douglas was quite satisfied with the preliminary work Tim did: "Prepare to start this piece."

Tim, his confidant, asked, "Is it inappropriate?"

Douglas shook his head slowly: "There is no need to continue talking. I have asked people to prepare for other aspects. Someone will come over in Wyoming soon."

Tim doesn't quite understand.

Many things need to be executed by Tim. Douglas briefly explained: "When we were in charge of Wyoming's business, we had a deal with Hawke Osmon and Erica Ferguson in a distance. I've found someone to know about it. Hawke Osmon's family, no one who was directly related to him, but these can be made.”

They are familiar with fakes like this: "A blood relative of Hawke Osmon in Wyoming will come to Los Angeles recently, and many people will prove that he has a kinship with Hawke Osmon."

Tim laughed: "If we cooperate with the legal process in this way, we will definitely win."

Douglas said lightly: "Although the governor of California has changed, the blue has not changed."

In the acquisition of Twitter, BlackRock has received support from former Speaker Willie Brown and others, and from prosecutors to judges to testing agencies, they are all their people.

Tim still had doubts and said directly: "Boss, there is something that must be taken seriously. I found out that Hawke Osmon trained three times a week and had a very strong personal combat power. He once cooperated with his girlfriend Erica Ferguson. The two killed 21 gun-carrying bandits. Although there were factors such as geographical advantage, they should not be underestimated."

Companies like BlackRock have far more methods and personnel than those that are on the surface.

Douglas just thought about it: "Call a professional team here in case."

Tim now had confidence: "When exactly should I start?"

"Your work is now on." Douglas made the decision and would not drag on it: "Wait for the professional team to come over and look for opportunities and launch a fatal blow."

He looked at another assistant outside: "Urgent Wyoming to come over and bring evidence and witnesses."

The assistant went to call immediately.

Tim didn't stay for a long time, and said for a while, quietly leaving the Burbank Hotel. (End of this chapter)
