In the office, Hawke took the USB flash drive from Edward, put it on his laptop, and looked through the photos and videos taken by Carlos and Juan yesterday.
Most of them come from the door of the Beverly Hyatt Hotel, and the protagonist is a middle-aged white man.
Emma Bateson personally opened the car door for this man, which is enough to show the weight of the middle-aged man.
Edward said at this time: "Carlos and the others quietly followed him for a day. This man left the Hyatt Regency Hotel and went to Universal Pictures. The area was the newly established Focus Pictures. After leaving Focus Pictures, he went to Burbank. Visited Disney Pictures and Warner Pictures, and is currently staying at the Burbank Hotel.”
"Obviously an important person." Hawke asked: "Have you figured out the identity?"
Edward shook his head: "Carlos and the others don't have access to high-level officials. To avoid alerting each other, they don't dare to inquire about the hotel. It's not clear yet."
Hawke first needed to figure out who the other party was. He picked up the phone and called Pacific Investment Group directly.
When his future mother-in-law Mary Ferguson got on the phone, Hawke said: "I have someone here, probably from San Francisco, who is in contact with the female middleman Emma Bateson I mentioned, please help determine who he is. Who.”
When it came to work, Mary Ferguson didn’t have any extra words to say, and said: “Send the photos and videos.”
Hawke edited the photo and sent it to Mary through Twitter's encrypted email.
Not long after, Mary called and said directly: "I know this person, Douglas Coster, the head of the San Francisco branch of Brad Investment Group. His coming to Los Angeles this time is probably related to Twitter."< br>
Hawke asked: "Is there anything more specific?"
Mary thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask someone to collect his detailed information. I'll go to Twitter in an hour and we'll chat in person."
Hawke hung up the phone and suddenly noticed that Edward on the other side was cheerful.
This guy seems to have eaten a happy fart in the past few days.
Hawke was curious and asked: "Have you encountered something happy? Tell me and listen."
Edward sat opposite him and said with a smile: "I started dating Miller Collins' ex-wife."
Hawke has an impression: "Maria Collins?"
"Yes, that's her." Edward said roughly: "A few days ago, I rescued her daughter Dorothy on Manhattan Beach, and we officially met her. She invited me to dinner that night, and I returned the invitation yesterday. With her, everything went smoothly.”
Hawke asked: "Save people? Isn't it the hero you created to save the beauty?"
Edward quickly denied: "No, no, although I have been staring at them, the accident was not caused by me."
His dark face showed a special smile: "Miller Collins was also our enemy at the beginning. I thought so. If I can hook up with his ex-wife, I can also provide you with some emotional value, boss."
These words made Hawke couldn't help but laugh. The savior's abilities were indeed average, but he had no choice in terms of loyalty.
Edward said seriously: "It's a pity that although Miller Collins became a tramp, he has always been alive and cannot dance on his grave."
Hawke thought of Robert Downey Jr., observed three seconds of silence for him, and then said to Edward: "Miller Collins became a tramp?"
"I heard what Maria said when we were having dinner together." Edward simply said: "Miller Collins's property is basically awarded to his ex-wife, and he also has to pay a large amount of support to his ex-wife and daughter every month. He didn’t have enough sources of income, so he simply chose to wander.”
He remembered where he wandered: "Like Frank, Miller Collins also owned an RV and parked it in the parking lot behind the Ackerman Charitable Foundation."
Hawke nodded slightly and said casually: "Call Eric when you have time, and let's go take a look together."
Director Eric Eason is Miller Collins's fault.
When the time was almost up, Hawke went downstairs and waited in the front hall for a while before Mary Ferguson entered the Twitter door with her assistant.
The two went upstairs and talked in detail in the reception room.
Mary handed the information in her hand to Hawke and said: "Douglas studied at Stanford University Business School. After graduation, he was recommended by former Governor Gray Davis to join the black market group. Later, BlackRock Group left Blackstone and he gave up Blackstone. He joined BlackRock and was transferred to the position of President of BlackRock’s Los Angeles branch more than half a year ago, responsible for all of BlackRock’s commercial matters in California.”
Hawke's focus was not on these public information and asked: "Have there been any casualties or criminal penalties in the acquisition cases he handled?"
“More than once.” This is what Mary wanted to say: “Last winter, one of BlackRock’s investments in Silicon Valley encountered founder resistance. The estimated price was met and the scheduled investment was completed.”
She obviously used resources to check: "BlackRock invested in a mining company in Wyoming. That company has now been investigated by the FBI and closed down."
When Hawk heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it the attack that Erica and I encountered?"
Mary said, "Yes, Douglas was the head of BlackRock in Wyoming at the time."
"It turned out to be an old acquaintance." Hawke still remembers the group of stick gunmen. Mary said at this time: "Things have changed again. Remember the future development path designed by BlackRock and Vanguard International for the blue camp that I mentioned last time? The donkey approved it."
She seemed extremely cautious: "Although we don't know the specific content yet, this plan is said to involve various industries such as media, entertainment and finance. It wants to arouse the enthusiasm of the whole society for marginalized groups and affirmative action, and it also needs to cooperate with financial investment. Connected.”
Hawke understood immediately: "Douglas came to Los Angeles and visited film company executives in Universal Studios and Burbank. Their plans may be spearheaded by Hollywood, such as Hollywood movies that focus on marginalized groups and the black feminist movement. .”
Mary added: "There is also the media, they have always had an advantage in the media."
At this point, she felt the importance of Twitter more and more: "Twitter has a huge influence among young people. His goal here this time is you and Twitter."
Hawke nodded and emphasized: "This plan is very powerful because it is in line with the current social development trend. Once a movement of marginalized groups is launched, the donkeys will reverse the decline of the past few years in one fell swoop and even cause a new social wave."
Mary said: "I'm going to take a trip to Woodland Hills."
Hawke understood the meaning of Woodland Hills, the home of Erica's grandparents.
He sent Mary downstairs, and when he came back he told Edward: "We are staying in the company these days. You go and notify the security director Austin. The company's security level has been raised to the highest level."
Edward immediately called Austin and then returned to the office to find the pistol and take it with him.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
At the 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 were guarding the elevator exit. They saw Tim coming. The black man among them said: "Wait a minute, the boss is on the phone."
Tim was waiting outside the door.
Ten minutes later, the door to the suite opened, someone waved, and Tim entered.
Douglas pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit down and talk."
When Tim sat down, he asked: "How are your preparations going?"
"I moved diagonally across from Hawke Osmond's villa to facilitate monitoring of his comings and goings." Tim detailed what he had done recently, and then emphasized: "I found Miller Collins, and he came out. The mental state after prison is not very stable. As long as there is a slight stimulation, it will become a time bomb.”
Coulson, whom he hired, has been making preparations: "The private detective we are working with has pretended to be a Miller Collins fan during this period and often rescued him. He has already won his trust."
Douglas was quite satisfied with the preliminary work done by Tim: "Get ready to activate this chess piece."
Tim was his confidant and asked: "Is the negotiation not settled?"
Douglas slowly shook his head: "There is no need to continue talking. I have already made preparations for other aspects. Someone from Wyoming will be here soon."
Tim doesn't quite understand.
There are many things that Tim has to carry out. Douglas simply explained a few words: "When we were in charge of the business in Wyoming, we had a close relationship with Hawke Osmond and Erica Ferguson. I asked someone to understand it. There is no one directly related to him in Hawk Osmond’s family, but these can be made.”
They are familiar with this kind of fraud: "A blood relative of Hawk Osmond from Wyoming will come to Los Angeles recently, and many people will prove that he is related to Hawk Osmond."
Tim laughed: "If we cooperate with the legal process in this way, we will definitely win."
Douglas said calmly: "Although the governor of California has changed, the blue color has not changed."
In the matter of acquiring Twitter, BlackRock has already received support from former Speaker Willie Brown and others. By then, everyone from prosecutors to judges to testing agencies will be their people.
Tim still had doubts and said directly: "Boss, there is something that must be paid attention to. I heard that Hawke Osment trains three times a week and has very strong personal combat ability. He once cooperated with his girlfriend Erica Ferguson. The two killed 21 armed gangsters. Although there are factors such as location, they should not be underestimated. ”
For a company like BlackRock, its methods and personnel are much more than what is shown on the surface.
Douglas just thought about it for a moment: "Send a professional team over just in case."
Tim now gained confidence: "When will it be launched?"
"Your work is starting now." Douglas made a decision and would not be sloppy: "Wait for the professional team to come over, look for opportunities, and launch a fatal blow."
He looked at another assistant: "Urge Wyoming to have someone come over quickly and bring evidence and witnesses."
The assistant immediately went to make a call.
Tim didn't stay long, talked for a while, and quietly left the Burbank Hotel. (End of chapter)
