Chapter Six Hundred and Eightieth Summons
The FBI is pursuing everything, all the clues related to the three headshot cases and the Curtis case, any clues, there are senior agents from the headquarters who are responsible.
"The branches at all levels have received orders to fully cooperate with this investigation." Melvin looked up at him with a strange expression when he said here, and continued: "Only Chicago."
"Yes, only Chicago." Li Zitao said with a smile; "It seems that I have become Mr. Director's new prey."
"It seems that's right." Melvin showed a wry smile.
It was not pleasant for him to be "preyed" by his immediate boss.
It's a pity that his BOSS didn't give him the right to choose. Since Melvin performed too well, he was put on the blacklist.
If Li Zitao hadn't greeted the congressmen, he wouldn't even be able to keep his current position.
"I heard that someone got the evidence, the key evidence." Melvin talked about the reason for his coming.
"What is the key evidence?" Li Zitao was a little nervous.
You must know that Laomei has a big and rude problem, and it is easy to lose everything. If something is really exposed, it will be really troublesome.
"zipper."
"zipper???"
"Yes, a zipper with words on it, it is said that they are looking for it!" Melvin said seriously.
"Pfft~" Li Zitao almost burst out laughing. If he remembers correctly, the clothes those people wore were 'shun' from the street, or they could be said to be borrowed...
The kind that borrows but never repays.
"Well, I hope they can find something useful." Putting down his glass, Li Zitao turned his head and said; "Hogg, arrange a room for Mr. Purvis, and show him around the castle by the way. My time is up."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Charlie." Melvin didn't tell him that he had to rush back to Chicago as soon as possible.
But he doesn't mind staying a little longer to visit this fantasy castle, which claims to be the most luxurious private building in history.
Hollywood Boulevard, in front of the Roosevelt Hotel.
Grace was standing by the side of the road wearing a pure white sleeveless pleated skirt, a pair of black stockings wrapped her perfect long legs, and an off-white fur shawl was draped over her upper body.
With her pretty face and perfect figure, she became the target of scouts, and some people wanted to try to invite her to a hotel for a drink with her charm.
There is no shortage of carnivorous women in Hollywood, that is, women who are purely sexual and do not talk about relationships, work, family or other.
"Miss, I'm RKO's scout, here's my business card, are you interested in becoming a star? Just like Jenny, I'm sure you will..."
Beep!
The horn sounded, and the scout turned around in displeasure. When he saw five Aegis H1s parked by the side of the road, he put away his business card in embarrassment.
"The person I'm waiting for is here. Goodbye." Grace smiled sweetly, waved to the other party and got into the car.
"Goodbye..." The scout stood there giggling like an idiot, he was about to be dazzled by that smile.
"Damn it, why is he always so lucky." After the car left, the scout grabbed his hat and growled unwillingly.
He was sure this girl would be popular, she would be a big star, a superstar.
Just relying on that face, he can make a lot of money, and now it's all gone, and looking at the fashionable women on the street, he suddenly feels sick.
"How does it feel to be in the company? Did they arrange a role for you?" Li Zitao smiled and wiped off the smudged lip gloss on the corner of her mouth, letting go of Grace who was panting.
"Ms. Aimo arranged for me to be the second female lead in a scene, and I will learn how to play that role with the director starting next week." Grace said happily.
Although she has not been in Hollywood for a long time, she likes everything here, fashionable handsome men and beautiful women, exposed to the spotlight every day, stars, famous directors, studio managers, and bosses everywhere.
Here can satisfy the dream of any filmmaker, it is like a paradise.
"The American Dream,
"Here's the place to make it happen.
"You will become a big star soon, Grace, I promise." Rubbing her hair lightly, Li Zitao couldn't help kissing her lips again.
While the convoy was driving towards the urban area, it suddenly turned around and drove into the nearby wasteland, and then Danny and the co-pilot's bodyguard got out of the car.
After a while, the car swayed rhythmically, and there were two worlds inside and outside the car.
"Huh..." Opening the car window, billowing heat waves emerged from the gap, Li Zitao leaned on the seat, took a few sips of a cigar, and puffed happily.
"Boss, someone is coming." Danny said with his head turned sideways. The bodyguard guarding the car grabbed the pistol at his waist and looked warily at the car coming from the road.
"FBI..." Li Zitao heard the voice outside the car, and Grace, who was still panting in his arms, raised her head worriedly, "Charlie, what do they want to do?"
"Don't worry, it's just a little trouble." Li Zitao's happy mood was ruined when he saw Danny coming after negotiating with the other party.
"Boss, the other party has a subpoena and needs your cooperation in the investigation. I have already ordered someone to call Mr. Mahathir." Danny said with a blank expression.
Li Zitao picked up the wall phone in the car and dialed a number: "Judge Hugo, haha, are you okay?...That's great...I, I seem to be in a little trouble."
"Let's go!" After 5 minutes, Li Zitao hung up the phone and signaled Danny to follow them.
Knowing that Li Zitao was willing to cooperate, several detectives removed their hands from the handles of their guns, and the four vehicles stuck the convoy in the middle and drove slowly towards the city center.
Just before they reached the city center, their radios rang with a 'rustling' sound.
"Can you hear? Mission cancelled, mission canceled... anyone? Can anyone hear, mission canceled, everyone back..."
The moment the car drove into the city, a clear voice came from the radio, and the detectives who were proud of catching a big man before gathered face to face.
"This is the first team, what happened?" the detective leading the team asked a little unwillingly.
"Our subpoena was rejected by the state's highest court on the grounds of illegal operations." The angry voice on the opposite side was their head, the head of the Los Angeles branch.
Originally, their subpoena was against the rules, and there was no evidence to point to Li Zitao, but as long as no one spoke, they could take him down for interrogation first.
However, no one thought that he could get the state supreme court to dismiss the subpoena in just ten minutes, damn bastard.
Now he won't be in any trouble, and the head of the Los Angeles branch will be in no small trouble.
He needs to make a report to the court, why he summoned a large taxpayer with great influence without evidence and without an investigation order.
Ever since the FBI appeared, Grace, who had been fidgeting, watched them enter the city, clenched her fists nervously, and her palms were sweating.
Immediately afterwards, the two cars in front pulled over to the side of the road, slowing down to let them pass. When the car overtook them, Grace even saw the unwillingness and anger in their eyes.
But they just got rid of the FBI's entanglement and did nothing.
No...
Except for the chatty phone call before, 'Hugo, is it someone big? ’ Grace could never have imagined a person named Hugo who had something to do with the FBI.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't think about the Supreme Court. After all, few people really come into contact with the Supreme Court of the United States, let alone care about those bad old men.
