Chapter 256 The Hunter in the Reserve
Wyoming, Jeffrey City.
A worn-out pickup truck drove over from the forest and parked in front of a shop with a knife and fork barbecue sign.
After the autumn begins, it is a bit cold here. Lanham, wearing a leather jacket, gets out of the car, walks into the restaurant, finds an empty table to sit down, and asks for some simple food.
Outside, across the street, on a Ford Raptor, Garcia and Carlos are watching the pickup truck.
The latter said: "Just come out of the forest area, let's talk to him. News came from Los Angeles and the target returned to San Francisco."
Garcia agreed: "We have had several dealings with him." , he finally asked him to entrust us to find the murderer who killed his family, and it was time for him to give him the things. Recently, he frequently went out to practice guns and never saw prey every time, and his purpose was very obvious. "
"We The situation is the same as him, and all his family members were killed. "Carlos clenched his fists hard and controlled the anger of revenge: "Revenge always makes people full of motivation."
Garcia's face was serious: "There is always a lot of energy." One day, we will kill all those who harm us! ”
Campos sent these two people over because they knew what to do.
Not long after, Lanham came out of the restaurant and brought in some smoked beef jerky from the boss.
Although this man is an Indian, he is obviously a mixed-race child. His skin color and appearance look somewhat similar to Dwayne Johnson.
Garcia waved to him: "Lanham, I found out some of the things you entrusted to us."
Lanham glanced at him, got in the car and drove over. , stopped in front, stuck his head out of the window, saw that it was the two private detectives who had commissioned before, and asked, "Is there any result?"
Garcia said, "Find a place to chat alone?"< br>
Lanham pointed forward and drove south along the road.
Garcia started the car and followed.
After leaving Jeffrey City and not far away, Lanham's pickup turned off the road, entered the forest, and turned to the west along a dirt road full of fallen leaves.
After Ford Raptor, Carlos, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took out his pistol and checked the magazine.
With the experience of the two, when you come to such a remote place, the first thing you consider is personal safety.
The worn pickup truck in front was not too far away and stopped by a lake.
Lanham jumped out of the car, jumped onto a rock on the shore, sat on it, and waved to the Ford Raptor.
Garcia parked the car, picked up a bag, and went over with Carlos.
Lanham sat on the stone, remembering the last time he had contacted the two, and said, "You two private detectives, the last time they said they could find out the real murderer behind the murder of my family. Have you found out? "
Garcia jumped on the stone, sat on the other side, and handed the bag to Lanham: "It's all inside, I've spent a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to find it." br>
"I didn't bring any money, so I can only give it to you now." Lanham took out two gold coins from his pocket and threw them to Garcia: "This is an antique, each worth more than 10,000 US dollars." >
He added: "Cash will be given to you later."
Garcia picked it up and looked at the sun. In fact, he didn't understand these gold coins, but he could tell that it was from Europe. Some kind of ancient gold coin.
He threw one for Carlos.
The latter was carefully looked at it, but he didn't recognize it, but he was sure it was gold.
Lanham opened the bag, took out the documents inside, and looked carefully.
The beginning of this page mentions the name of the Cougar Digging Company.
He remembered that when he came back from Denver before, his father mentioned that the company that obtained mineral exploration rights on the reservation.
Later, the FBI investigated and involved the death of many people on the reservation, and the bankruptcy closed down.
Lanham has been investigating the company, but he is just a hunter guide for a hunting company in Denver. He has no money and power, and even the police officers and management on the reservation are unwilling to investigate. He checked for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
These two private detectives were commissioned by the family of a brother and sister who died here to investigate, and he also issued a commission.
Langham looked further back, the information showed the composition of shareholders of the Cougar Excavator Company. The investor behind the company was named BlackRock Wyoming Branch. The person who decided to invest and connect with the government and The reservation management relationship and the person who promoted the Cougar Excavation Company to take the survey rights are the same.
This person is named Douglas Coster, the former president of BlackRock's Wyoming branch, and has now left the job and transferred to other states.
The data shows that he is the decision maker of the survey project and should actually be responsible for the case.
But the Korean-born person in charge of the Cougar Excavation Company took all the responsibilities.
After paying enough money, the company kept the case audit within the scope of the Cougar Company.
Douglas not only did not get investigated, but also took a step forward and went to California.
Langham continued to flip back, with photos and profiles of Douglas Cost, and the latest work location.
BlackRock's San Francisco branch in California is located in Silicon Valley, the Bay Area.
Afterward, there are some circumstantial evidence, which is insufficient judicial evidence, but in the eyes of the victims, Douglas Cost is the culprit.
After reading it, Lanham remembered the name Douglas Cost.
He looked at Garcia: "Are all the things you investigated true?"
"I can't even make such things fake. Do you think they look fake?" Garcia got closer and whispered, "I'm a big deal to bribe the FBI and get these things."
He took out the gold coins in his hand: "Man, FBI's greed, you haven't Have contacted it, at least seen it in film and television works? This is not enough." Lanham said: "As long as your investigation results are fine, I will naturally give you the remaining rewards, I have the money . "Although the sister was classified as the missing person and received no compensation, his parents' bodies appeared at the place where the Cougar Excavation Company threw the body, thus receiving a large amount of compensation.
This money is enough for him to do a lot of things.
Garcia pointed to the bag and said, "You have just read it. It involves the sheriff on your reservation. Do you know him? Control him and you will know it once you ask."
Lanham said: "It's hard for me to handle it alone. How about you help me? Money is not a problem. Since you have conducted an investigation, you should know that I have received a large amount of compensation."
Garcia was in a dilemma: "It's very risky to deal with the sheriff on the reservation."
Lanham is also a person who has worked in a big city like Denver, and knows how to impress people: "I'll increase the money."
Garcia is going downhill: "The work of private detectives has always required risks."< br>
Carlos threw a contemptuous look at his partner.
Lanham came back from Denver for his family and checked a lot again, and didn't want to wait for a moment.
He said, "You guys go to the Jeffrey restaurant to wait for me, I'll be back soon."
"No problem." Garcia jumped off the stone and called Carlos into the car together.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Ford Raptor started and turned around and left here.
Lanham packed the bag, put it in the car, drove back to the reservation, took out the money from a house on the reservation, and rushed to Jeffrey City.
He came outside the restaurant and made a phone call.
Garcia and Carlos came out of the restaurant and got into his car.
Lanham took out the bag of cash and handed it to the two of them.
Garcia opened the bag, looked at the authenticity, and pointed it out slightly, and handed it over to Carlos.
Lanham said, "You change your clothes and I will take you to the reservation."
He found several of his clothes from the back seat of the car and asked the two of them to find them. Choose what you can wear and change it.
Garcia and Carlos took makeup classes a lot when they were in Los Angeles, and Campos hired professional experts from Hollywood to teach them.
The two changed their clothes, dyed their hair black, and kept their fake beards. They followed Lanham into the reservation and came to the vicinity of the reservation police station.
The police station on the reservation is set up independently, and police officers are all internal personnel of the reservation.
The old sheriff Greenham, who is in charge of the police station, is over 60 years old and is a veteran who truly holds real power on the reservation.
After getting off work, he drove into a police car and whistled home.
The reserve has a harsh environment, all of which are barren mountainous land. There have been fewer and fewer people left over the years, which is even wider than the average level of Wyoming.
Bypassing a hill, Greenham found a broken pickup truck parked in front of him, and a young reservation resident squatted beside the wheel.
When a car was driven over, the young man with a putty face stood up and waved to the police car.
Grimm stopped the car and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lanham said, "The tires are blown up, and there is no jack."
"You young men." Greenham got out of the car and opened the trunk to get the jack.
Garcia and Carlos, who were hiding behind the stones on the side of the road, slipped over, and the former's pistol was pressed on the back of Greenham's head: "Don't move, my gun is prone to fire."
< br>Grimm could feel that the gun on the back of his head was particularly stable, and he quickly raised his hand: "You can take whatever you want, but children, don't hurt me."
Garcia put him He pulled his hands behind his back and tied them up with a tie.
To be on the safe side, I tied up three times in a row.
Carlos searched his body, found his pistol, handcuffs and spray, and pushed Greenham with his gloves, "Get on the car."
The three of them got in the car, and Lanham in front led the way, with Leaving the reservation as fast as possible.
When we arrived at that lake area, the police car drove directly into the lake. Garcia removed Greenham's cell phone from the battery and communication card and threw it into the lake separately, making it difficult to find it in the short term.
Lanham dragged Greenham away and interrogated separately.
Screams came from time to time in the woods.
Lanham serves as a guide to the hunting company, but in fact he is a professional hunter and kills many animals.
The screams became weaker and weaker, and gradually turned into moans. Not long after, even the sound disappeared.
Lanham came to the lake to clean with a blood-stained hunting knife, and said, "He has asked, what you have found is true."
Garcia asked : "Where is the person?"
"I accidentally killed him." Lanham said.
Garcia reminded: "You better deal with the body."
"You can help throw it into the lake." Lanham wanted to pull the two of them into the water: "I'll give you another sum of money, and you can accompany me." Go to San Francisco."
