Chapter 212 Don’t let anyone kill you


Chapter 212 Don’t let anyone kill you

The Venice Beach Club burned down and related incidents have long since subsided.

Everything seemed to be calm again.

Harley disguised herself and came to Guerrero's residence, the apartment building where he committed suicide.

She had been here more than once in the past few days, waited at the door for a while, and met the woman who lived on the same floor as Guerrero.

Harley saw her walking towards a car and immediately followed her, taking the initiative to say hello: "Hello, can we chat for a few words?"

The woman stopped, turned around and looked her up and down. Seeing Harley's harmless look, she said, "Are you okay?"

Harley whispered: "I am a reporter from the New York Times and I want to ask about your neighbors."

Seeing that the other party was a little impatient, she took out a few dollars from her own pocket and stuffed them over: "I should compensate you for wasting your time."

The woman took the money and put it in her pocket: "You can ask."

Harley pointed to her car.

The woman opened the car door and invited Harry to get in the car with her.

Harley knew that the other party would not leave her much time, so she asked directly: "Your neighbor Guerrero, did you have any special place before committing suicide?"

"No." The woman shook her head: "I went on a business trip during that time and didn't live here."

Harley had been here several times before, and it was only the last time that she met this person.

She asked from another angle: "Guerrero's family doesn't live here with him?"

For the sake of money, the woman thought about it carefully and said: "Most of the time, he was alone, but a few times, starting this year, he brought a girl over, and the girl looked younger than him. A lot, I think maybe less than twenty years old.”

Harley caught the key and asked: "How many times has it been the same person?"

"Yes, it's a person." The woman was very sure and said, "Let me think about it carefully."

She recalled: "Four or five months ago, I was taking the elevator one time, and she happened to come in. I remember asking at that time, and she said she was studying in college, the university in Pasadena."


There are many colleges in Pasadena, Harley asked: "City College? Polytechnic Institute?"

The woman said: "Caltech!"

Harley nodded and asked again: "Do you know her name?"

The woman thought for a while: "Should your name be Allen or Eileen? I can't remember clearly."

Being able to ask these questions was a complete surprise. Harry asked for a while but did not get any useful information.

The woman also wanted to go out, and the two ended their brief exchange.

Harley remembered the key: Caltech and Ellen or Erin.

Just after Harley left, Juan, who was dressed as a woman, approached the woman.

…………

On the highway, Edward drove a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz and ran all the way north. The car soon came to the San Fernando Valley.

He asked: "Boss, do you want to continue going north?"

Hawke was looking at the US Postal version of the map and said: "Go through the canyon area and go north to Santa Clarita."

Edward continued to speed up: "Someone mailed this email from outside Los Angeles. Will it be the same as when we were?"

Hawke is thinking about this too.

He went through the mail and found the mailbox at the post office.

There is Guerrero's signature on the notebook. Under normal circumstances, it may have been mailed by Guerrero before his death, or by someone related to him.

Guerrero's relatives all live in Pasadena, and Hawke has asked Campos to send someone to check.

He also asked people to quietly inquire whether Guerrero had any friends or girlfriends.

Running through the San Fernando Valley and arriving in Santa Clarita, Hawke quickly found the mailbox following the markings on the U.S. Postal Map.

The mailbox painted red is very eye-catching. It is located at the entrance of a park, and there are not many passing vehicles and pedestrians.

As for surveillance, in this era in the United States, even in Los Angeles, there is not much public surveillance.

Hawke asked Edward to drive back and forth a few times. Seeing that there was no chance of harvest, he said, "Drive to Pasadena."

Edward turned around and headed back to Los Angeles.

When I arrived in Pasadena, I followed the address provided by Campos and went directly to a shooting range.

Hawke signed up for membership, took a gun and entered the indoor shooting range. He randomly found two target positions, put on a sound-isolating headset, and fired a few magazines with Edward.

Not far away, Campos was practicing shooting with a few people.

Hawke told him that the development goal of Butterfly Company was not a freelance journalist company, but a security company.

People who have not experienced the information explosion will think that this world is very beautiful, and business war is nothing more than a life-and-death fight in the market, killing competing companies within the scope of business and law.

It's right to fight to the death, and it's right to kill your opponents, but these are never limited to business and legal categories.

How can you hope that your opponent will abide by the rules and be stronger than yourself?

Hawke has already experienced it. If Bella Thain succeeds in framing him, Twitter will already be in someone else's pocket.

Campos led the team to complete the training and left with the backbone of Carlos, Garcia, Juan and Fiona.

Later, Hawke also left the training ground, came to the safe house in Pasadena, and met Campos and his team.

"Boss!"

"Hello, boss!" These people came over to say hello one by one.

Some people saw Hawke for the first time, but they had already guessed it from the company's continuous sales of important news to Twitter.

Hawke responded one by one and called their names accurately.

Carlos and others knew that it was Hawke's support that allowed them to obtain legal status and achieve high income in Los Angeles.

Hawke didn't waste any time and asked directly: "How is the matter you asked to investigate?"

Fiona was the first to say: "Guerrero's family, including parents, siblings, etc., have all moved away, and their house in Los Angeles has been entrusted to an agency for sale."

Carlos answered: "I asked the agency, and they didn't know where these people had moved."

Juan continued: "This morning, I went to the apartment where Guerrero lived and found his female neighbor on the same floor. The female neighbor provided information. Before I went there, there was someone who claimed to be a female reporter from the New York Times. , asked her about Guerrero’s news, the content was similar to ours, did Guerrero have any friends or girlfriend?”

Hawke frowned slightly: "A female reporter from the New York Times? This identity must be fake."

"It should be." Juan added: "I was wearing female makeup at the time, and my female neighbor told me that the makeup on that woman was a bit weird, but she was ten times prettier than me, and it was not an East Coast spoken word."

Hawke nodded, who could be so persistent in pursuing it? Guerrero's family moved away from Los Angeles.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Friends and the like are unlikely.

Hawke thought of one woman first, Harley Wayne.

Juan said: "The female neighbor said that Guerrero had a girlfriend named Allen or Eileen at Caltech."

Hawke pointed at him: "You continue to follow up."

"Okay." Juan responded.

Hawke looked at the others: "Let's check this matter here first."

The others nodded.

Hawke took out a piece of paper and handed it to Campos: "Check who these people are, focusing on Fernando Crane and Carol Andy."

He specifically reminded: "It would be better not to find it than to alarm anyone. You have plenty of time, so search slowly."

That Meryl, Hawke figured out the identity yesterday.

An unlucky guy who drowned in his bathtub after getting high.

This is another suicide.

The others left one after another, and soon Campos was left alone.

He said to Hawke: "I have found the bodyguards. They have gone back to Mexico to pick up their families and will be back soon."

Hawke reminded: "Prepare a place to live, and solve the identity problem."

Campos is clear that family is a key factor.

He didn't dare to lead Hawke without his family's men.

Hawke was about to leave. Before leaving, he thought of the female reporter again and warned: "Let people pay attention to Harley. Just like before, don't let anyone kill her."

Campos responded: "Understood."

Things can only go so far for the time being. Hawke finds some related people or corporate organizations, waits for the right time, and then launches a fatal blow.

Since Schwarzenegger came to power, the political situation in California has calmed down a bit compared to the previous turbulence when red and blue were fighting.

On the way back, Hawke received a call from Brian and asked him to have dinner with Erica.

In addition to Brian, the FBI's new deputy director Jennifer Huey will also go.

Hawke and Jennifer are old acquaintances, and Jennifer is one of the FBI's directors in Los Angeles, so it doesn't hurt to be familiar with them.

He first sent Erica a text message to make sure that Erica had not carried out the mission, and then made a phone call.

Erica said: "I try to get off work on time."

Back on Twitter, the receptionist told Hawke that director Eric Eason was here.

Hawke came to the reception room, saw Eric, and said with a smile: "Why don't you call me."

"I just arrived." Eric opened the bag and took out an invitation: "My new film "Journey into the Dark" will be released soon. I'm here to formally invite you to the premiere."

Hawke took it and said, "I've been looking forward to your new movie."

Eric took out another one and handed it to Edward: "The invitation can bring two people."

"Thank you." Edward accepted and shrugged: "I'll go alone."

Eric was curious: "Have you lost your love?"

Hearing this, Edward was filled with worry: "We haven't officially broken up yet, but it will be soon. I suddenly feel that I am happy to be single."

He asked Eric: "What about you? When will you marry Catherine? Or are you going to break up with her?"

Eric sighed, looking very conscientious: "I can't just kick my girlfriend who has supported me as soon as my directing career starts to improve."

Edward patted Eric on the shoulder: "The director does not unspoken rules for actresses, it is a waste of resources, and it is evil!"

Hawke said: "Don't give Eric random ideas, you haven't even figured out your own affairs."

Edward instantly became listless and said: "Boss, think about it when we first met, I laughed at you for not knowing how to pick up girls. It turns out that I am the one who doesn't know anything, and you are the master of picking up girls."

Hawke reminded him: "If you want to separate, do it quickly, don't delay it."

Edward made up his mind: "I will take care of it as soon as possible."

(Happy New Year, I wish you all a prosperous New Year, good fortune, and all the best.)
