The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 38 Gambler

Brentwood, in a mansion.

In order to show his determination to get back on track, Robert Downey Jr. spent a lot of money and found psychological counselor Judy Havingley.

The latter studied under the famous American psychic, astrologer and prophet Jenny Dixon.

"I'm very unlucky recently..." Robert Downey Jr. said the filming of cheating and the dismissal of the crew, and asked, "How can I get back on track."

Judy asked Downey to give her a few hairs and conduct a divination ceremony in a serious way.

Donnie and two of his followers did not dare to let out for fear of disturbing her.

After a while, Judy finished the ceremony and said, “I found out what the problem is.”

Fat Cole was curious and approached his bald companion Ximan's ear and muttered: "Is it so magical?"

Donnie's eyes swept over and the two of them quickly shut up.

Judy asked at this time, "Are you anything you want to do this year but haven't accomplished?"

Donnie thought for a while and said, "I didn't get the male lead in "Ghost Man."

Judy's question was very clever. Before coming, she had learned about Donny's situation and immediately shook her head: "A little earlier."

Donnie began to recall that after a few minutes, he remembered something: "I used to want someone to jump off a building, but he didn't jump. I was very unhappy. Does that count?"

Judy decided to be the only thing, and she was silent for a moment, unfathomable: "That's right."

To avoid trouble, she said again: "You must let this person jump off the building on his own initiative, and you cannot force it."

Donnie responded, “I understand.”

Then, Judy collected the money and said goodbye and left.

Donnie sent someone back and sat in the lounge thinking hard, but couldn't remember what the guy was called, so he could only call the director.

When the director found the name and replied, he ordered the bald man: "Shiman, you go to Provo, Utah and find a **** named Downing Ward. He has played extreme sports and worked as a stuntman. It should not be difficult. try to find."

Bald head said, "I'll pack up and go right away."

Donnie looked at the fat man again: "Cole, you are a wild person. Find a few reliable guys to prepare. When Ximan is sure, you can control the people immediately."

He added: "Don't hurt anyone for now, I'm going to see him jump off the building."

"It's better to find someone, cash," Cole said.

Donnie strode in and said, "Follow me." He opened a door and said, "There is still some cash in the cabinet, you can take it all."

"I must have done this little thing well," Cole promised.

Donny is gone.

Cole entered the house and took more than $1,000 in cash. When he left, he suddenly found that a Rolex was placed casually at the corner of the cabinet because no one touched it for a long time and it was covered in dust.

Donnie likes to collect watches, and he can't even remember how many pieces he has.

Cole was very familiar with Donny's home. The security system of the house was external, but not internal. He looked back at the door and saw that there was no one. He picked up his watch and stuffed it into his pocket.

He is proficient in movements, obviously not the first time.

Donny went to another room and saw Deborah being packed with clothes for her son, saying, "Will we go out for dinner together tonight?"

Deborah said with a cold face: "No interest."

Donnie raised his hand and sweared: "I will never touch those things in the future. I will go to the gym tomorrow to exercise and quit drugs."

"I believe you one last time." Deborah was not interested in going out for a meal: "I hope you do what you say."

Seeing his wife refuse, Donnie felt annoyed and returned to his entertainment room and found a plastic bag from the billiards box.

I will only start quitting tomorrow, and it will be the last time today.

Cole drove out of Brentwood, came to the Big Dad's Art Store in Westwood, and parked the car and walked towards the door.

Across the road, Hawke wore a wig and glasses, and had a beard on his face, staring at Cole, saying in the East Coast accent: "The man is right, it's that fat man."

On the bench next to it, the guy holding the newspaper is no longer ordinary, and people will ignore it when they see it. He is born to be a private detective.

The man said, "This guy is a gambler. He often participates in a private card game. He is not very smart. He takes valuable things and always comes to this store to make a move. Recently, he has been a third place since I targeted him. Time. ”

"Gambling? Good gambler." Hawke took out an envelope and handed it to him: "I'll do it here. You're staring outside, don't ignore another person."

The man took the envelope and lit it: "Don't worry, my assistant is staring."

Hawke pushed his flat-glasses upwards, lifted up his remodeled briefcase, and crossed the street to enter the art shop.

After receiving the photos taken by a private detective, he went in yesterday and was familiar with the story.

The waiter came over to greet him, "Hello, is there anything you can do to help you?"

Hawke saw the fat man in the clock area and said, "I want to buy a suitable second-hand watch, either Rolex or Omega."

The waiter looked at Hawke's clothes and bags briefly, knowing that this was someone who couldn't afford to buy first-hand goods, so he led to the clock area: "Customers are here." Hawke's briefcase was under his armpit, and when he passed, Point at the fat man, especially the watch that the appraiser is checking.

The waiter took a few water ghost watches and omega and sold them to Hawk.

Hawke's leather bag was placed on the counter, aiming the side of the hidden camera at the fat man.

He was very interested in watches and started to raise prices with the waiter to facilitate shooting.

In addition to selling directly, art shops can also be rented for temporary borrowing by those who cannot afford them.

The fat man quickly got the check and left the store.

Hawke also walked out on the grounds that the price was not ideal, drove a Chevrolet and followed the fat man's car.

Cole went west along Santa Monica Avenue. After entering Santa Monica, he turned into Third Street and parked in a vast parking lot.

He glanced at the electronic watch and said it was still early, so he could go to the game first and then find someone.

A Chevrolet drove over and parked on the other side.

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

Cole just got out of the car and found that the Chevrolet co-pilot's window was lowered, revealing a large photo.

The main character of the photo is him and a female appraiser, who also holds a lady's necklace in his hand.

Hawke pointed to the co-pilot: "Man, get in the car."

Cole wanted to run, but had no strength under his feet, so he got into the Chevrolet co-pilot obediently.

Hawke took out a stack of photos and handed them over.

Cole took it and looked through it one by one.

The protagonists of the photos are all him, who sells accessories and watches at the Big Dad’s Art Store.

Hawke directly broke his only remaining fantasy: "I have investigated you. You have no other source of income except to follow Donny. These items are not yours. If I guess correctly, they belong to you. Employers and friends.”

"Oh, right." He added, "You sold a Rolex just now."

Cole suddenly collapsed, the photo in his hand fell under his feet. He opened his mouth several times, but he still couldn't make any sound.

Hawke waited for him to calm down and said, "There is a card game here. You are a regular visitor, Donnie doesn't know?"

Cole took a quick breath and said after a while, "What do you want to do?"

Hawke is very much like the big villain in the movie. He picked up a few photos from the center console and said, "You don't want them to appear in front of the Downeys, don't think too much, I have a guy, he's in his hand There is a negative film.”

Cole knows where his real value lies: "I will never betray Downey!"

"I didn't let you betray Downey." Hawke knew how to go step by step: "Just let you provide Donny and Deborah's position, like who they are going to date."

Cole was surprised: "Are you a reporter?"

Hawke took out his fake business card that had been prepared long ago: "Anthony Murphy, a freelance journalist."

Cole breathed a little relieved: "You're just for this?"

"Man, it's a legal society now!" Hawke said quickly: "There are laws in the United States, and Downey is a celebrity. If I really want to do anything to him, I will be ruined."

Cole is a gambler, and at this time all he wants is an excuse: "Do you promise?"

Hawke said, “I swear to God in the name of the Murphy family!”

"There is a time limit, up to one week!" Cole didn't want to be controlled for a long time: "After the end, I have to give me the photos and negatives."

Hawke said, "Yes, but it will take ten days."

Thinking about the fleeting ten days, Cole responded, "Okay."

Hawke asked a lot of questions again.

For example, the specific items that Cole stole, who belongs to, etc.

After a while, Hawke wrote down his mobile phone number and left his spare mobile phone number to him.

Cole opened the door and got out of the car.

Hawke drove away from Santa Monica, took out his spare cell phone halfway through, and called the private detective: "You can withdraw."

"Okay." said the private investigator instead: "My assistant followed Baldhead into the airport, Baldhead was going to take a flight to Provo, Utah."

"I get it." Hawke calmly hung up the phone.

He frowned slightly, what did Robert Downey's follower go to Provo to do? Related to Downing Ward?

Hawke took out his usual phone number, dialed Edward's number, and asked, "Have you contacted Jacqueline?"

"I called her, she hadn't gotten up yet, and made an appointment to meet in Hober Hill in an hour," Edward said.
