Chapter 1178 Penthouse
"Recruiting female agents is illegal, and it also damages your reputation. Of course it won't work. These rich people will not be willing to contact the FBI directly."
Although Jack said this, he still had a smile on his face.
"But?" Last night, strictly speaking, it was early this morning. Aubrey, who had witnessed how Jack dealt with the lawyer, had already vaguely guessed what he wanted to do.
“But we can use the name of issuing personal safety warnings to summon the legal teams of those rich people. They have been working hard to cover up the existence of the murderer, and maybe they will know something.
Since those wealthy people are particularly generous in some aspects, the payment of remuneration may not be limited to large cash payments, gifts of luxury cosmetics, bags, clothing and jewelry, new cars, or helping to pay for plastic surgery bills.
These abnormal expenses are sudden and extremely conspicuous to the lawyers, and it is impossible for them to be unaware of them. "Jack said confidently.
"But why do they tell us?" Clay was puzzled. "Even if we express enough sincerity, those lawyers will still have many concerns. They must know that they and those rich people are one."
Jubal, who had already figured out Jack's intention, slapped the pencil that was spinning between his fingers on the conference table with his backhand, "But we can break up their symbiotic relationship.
After the rich people slept with the murderer, they revealed more than just their troubles. She might have known about the dirty transactions that the lawyers tried their best to help cover up.
For those big law firms, this is a very dangerous signal, and they should be happy to see the murderer caught as soon as possible. "
When Jie Jie issued a request to convene a meeting, it was not just Larry Barrett who arrived on time with a large group of lawyers, including the "scavenger" Aubrey had contacted before - Ms. Ellen Daniels Also arrived.
A large group of well-dressed legal professionals crowded the large conference room. However, as expected by the wanted criminal group, after Jiejie explained their intentions, these people all raised questions.
But in fact, these people always pay attention to only one thing. Larry Barrett loosened the tie that made him uncomfortable and said bluntly.
"What you say makes sense, but our employers will still question why we cooperate with the FBI's investigation, knowing that there are too many risks involved."
Jack smiled back at him, "You can weigh the risks yourself, but in fact, Mr. Barrett, you should know that the person actually leading this investigation is not the FBI, but the chief prosecutor of this state, Attorney General Patrick Jackson. Sir, we are just assisting.”
Although he didn't know how powerful the law firm represented by Barratt's attorney was, since Attorney General Jackson had pulled Jack out to take the blame before, Jack didn't mind selling the prosecutor to the scene in turn. of all lawyers.
"What you are worried about is nothing more than the reputation damage caused by the leak of the list of people who slept with her but were not killed after the murderer was arrested, or the possible legal problems.
The FBI doesn't care about this, but we think you can ask your boss to communicate with Attorney General Jackson personally, and you should be able to get a satisfactory answer. "
Seeing a group of legal elites looking at each other, Jiejie stood up at the right time and said, "Why don't we take a 20-minute break?"
Sure enough, after a short "rest" of 20 minutes, the lawyers' attitudes changed one after another and they provided a lot of useful information.
The most important was provided by one of Barratt's trainee paralegals, who had handled a purchase contract for a downtown penthouse for the third victim, Joseph Fielding, more than a year earlier. .
As far as she knew, Joseph Fielding said at the time that it was a gift for a friend of his.

"Safety!"
"unmanned!"
Clay put away his pistol and looked up at the layout of the apartment. "She looks very cautious. There isn't even a private photo here."
Hannah put on gloves and lifted up the thin quilt on the bed, twisting two long pale golden hairs on the pillow, "This should be the person we are looking for."
When Jiejie walked into the cloakroom and pulled out the clothes rack, she exclaimed, "The number of fashions in here is at least 10 times that of mine. Well, judging from the size, she has a really good figure."
Hannah curiously picked up a leather tights from the top, made some gestures on Jiejie's body, and smiled evilly, "It still needs a whip. I don't know if some people like this taste."
"Maybe it's for clients." Jiejie sneered at her, which scared Hannah and quickly threw the thing aside. Obviously Jack was not the only one who couldn't hold back his curiosity and watched some spicy things. Eye photos.
Aubrey was checking the jewelry on the dressing table, and frowned after opening a ring box, "Will someone really give a call girl a ring?"
Jubal took the ring from his hand, put it on the tip of his little finger and held it under the light to examine, "Interesting, don't you think this ring is too small for an adult? I think I probably know what it is. ”
"This is a chastity ring." Hannah pouted. "This kind of ring was very popular in Catholic families when I was young. Wearing it is a promise to God that you will remain pure before marriage."
Aubrey sighed as he put the ring back in the box, "It seems a little ironic."
"Or maybe these connections can overturn some of our previous speculations." Jack shook an old book in his hand.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"What do you mean?" Clay took the old book from Jack's hand and flipped it over without noticing anything wrong.
Jack pointed to the small bookshelf in front of him, "These are all old books, with traces of frequent flipping. What kind of people do you think would carefully read the French version of Voltaire's work "Candide"?"
"People with high taste?" Aubrey was slightly surprised.
"Or well-educated people." Clay added, and everyone immediately understood what Jack meant.
"According to a certain brothel owner, these high-priced call girls have learned how to disguise themselves as upper-class people, and now it seems that our murderer is likely to be from an upper-class family."
Jiejie's tone was a little hurried, but she showed a somewhat unconfident expression after she finished speaking.
"This is very possible. Considering that she specifically targets wealthy people who abandon their wives and children, is there a possibility that this has happened to her personally?"
Jack gave her an affirmative look, but at this moment, the phone in the room suddenly rang.
Jubal slapped Aubrey's impatient claws away and looked at the two ladies present, "Let Jiejie or Hannah answer the phone. If it's a client calling, try to get some information."
