Hollywood Hunter

Martin Dinham's report finally summarized the status quo of the two masters behind the assassination.

After the liquidation of the fund, Clark Gralf not only lost all his worth of about 20 million US dollars accumulated over the years, but also faced financial dilemmas such as claims litigation by a large number of investors, bank repossession of properties, and creditors recovering debts. The former may not be a big threat. The risks of hedge funds are well known. They must be prepared to lose all of their investments. The latter is a devastating blow to the Gralfs.

The Gralf family bought a $6 million mansion in the Upper East Side of Manhattan two years ago and spent $3 million on renovations.

Out of the consumption habits of the rich, George Gralf did not choose a one-time payment, but a bank mortgage.

Knowing that Gralf's fund was liquidated, the bank immediately took back the Upper East Side mansion.

The contractor who was also owed more than US$2 million in renovation costs also immediately applied to the District Court to seize two other properties of the Gralf family in the Upper West Side and Southampton, as well as luxury cars and other assets. Will be offset by auction in the near future.

Losing all their real estate, the Gralf family had to move from the expensive Upper East Side to a rental apartment in Lower Manhattan.

Not only that, but George Gralf's backyard started to catch fire.

George Gralf is 45 years old this year. As an excellent fund manager who has accumulated millions of dollars before the age of 25, Gralf took a model wife who was 9 years younger than him when he was 29. Laura Gralf, the two married and gave birth to two daughters, 16-year-old Cathy Gralf and 14-year-old Victoria Gralf, after marriage Laura Gralf She began her pampered noble career for more than ten years.

Until the husband suddenly went bankrupt.

In order to avoid being implicated, the 36-year-old full-time housewife not only filed for a divorce right away, but also secretly hid all the jewelry presented by her husband in recent years in a safe in a Manhattan bank. Because of a sudden family change, the two daughters of this family had to temporarily drop out of an expensive private school in Manhattan. During this time, the two daughters who missed the school spring break during their European trip also complained a lot about their hapless father.

The other parts of the Martin Dinham report are completely calm bystander style. Until here, the intelligence agent who once did espionage work now also wanders in the gray area can’t help it. With obvious emotions, he commented on the mother and daughter.

Selfish and powerful.

However, George Gralf, who persuaded his old classmates to hollow out the family business and shorted the technology stocks, was not a good man, otherwise he would not plan to assassinate Simon in a hurry.

Probably the old saying goes: If you are not a family, don't enter a family.

Simon was curious to find a photo of this family from the information. I have to say, at least from the photos, it is difficult to see the nature of any one of this family.

In the photo, George Gralf wears rimless glasses and wears a suit, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking like an elegant and successful person.

A graceful woman in a long black skirt with a waist stretches her body and leans against her husband. The woman has beautiful long linen hair, a delicate face and fair skin. Even if she is lying on her side, she can see that this woman is at least 180cm The height of, the photo date attached to the lower right corner of the photo was last year, but Laura Gralf, who is over 30 years old in the image, shows no trace of the years, on the contrary, it is a bit more capable of stimulating men’s desires. The mature charm.

The sisters who stood behind the couple clearly inherited the excellent genes of their mother. Although they were only 15 and 13 years old last year, they all have a taller figure of more than 170cm, and their appearance is very similar to their mothers. If they get together, the young couple say they are twins. Some people believe that the mother and daughter are three. It is estimated that they will be regarded as the three sisters.

Perhaps it is also good to collect three vases like this.

Making a decision at will, Simon put the picture aside and continued to read Dinham's report.

Martin Dinham across the desk noticed the look in Simon's eyes just now.

My boss is obviously interested in Laura Gralf, who is quite disgusting in his heart.

Perhaps, the interest will be broader.

However, the gaze of the opposite youth just now was not at all the men's interest in women, but rather like a collector seeing a few good collections.

Thinking of this, Martin Dinham consciously stopped his thoughts.

Unless ordered by his own boss, these are not things he needs to pay attention to.

Since getting this job, Martin Dinham has always adhered to a principle that is to keep his duty. He will spare no effort to do things he should do, and he will resolutely refrain from intervening in things he shouldn't. Although I spend most of my time as an agent exploring the privacy of people, many times I am too curious and the result may be fatal.

The other Woodfield families are also in a mess.

Like the Hearst family, although the scale of assets is far from that, the Woodfield family is also a well-established family in Pittsburgh.

From the time when the British immigrant Ralph Woodfield founded the Monroeville Machinery Company in Lowell, the southern part of Pittsburgh in the last century, the family has passed down to the sixth generation, but the existing direct descendants of Ralph Woodfield have surpassed 30 people.

As the chairman and CEO of the family business Monroeville Machinery Company George Woodfield embezzled huge amounts of money and caused all losses, the news was exposed by the local media. The stock price of Monroeville Machinery Company has recently plummeted by more than 30%.

In the past, other family members who could not get control of the family business and could only accept trust benefits honestly jumped out to accuse George Woodfield of serious negligence.

George Woodfield's illegal misappropriation of funds also included part of the Monroeville Machinery Company's pension reserves. After the incident, more than 300 workers in the company also chose to strike immediately and asked the management to give a clear answer.

Various regulatory agencies including the SEC also initiated investigations to Monroeville at the first time.

Other Monroeville shareholders who have been suppressed because of the company's dual-shareholding structure have also jumped out and demanded to take over the company.

The local media didn't think it was too big to watch the excitement, and tried every means to dig inside information to track reports.

It can be said that George Woodfield can now be described as ‘being embarrassed on all sides’.

After spending more than half an hour patiently reading the report, Simon's expression did not change much, and he did not make any comments. Instead, he asked Martin Dinham about another thing: "Is there anything happening at Hirst? "

Martin Dinham, who had been sitting opposite his desk patiently waiting for an occasional answer to Simon’s question or two, stood up, found a copy from a pile of materials on the desk, and said: “The six core figures of the Hearst family recently The monitoring records, including some key audio and video recordings, are here. However, I think the most important piece of information is that after John Hirst left Salisberg’s house last night, he discussed the closure with William III and is facing prosecution. The three newspapers in China have put pressure on us by letting 1,100 workers lose their jobs. The Hirst family can then take the opportunity to lobby the newspaper industry unions and federal regulators to come forward and limit our litigation bombing on the grounds of protecting workers’ rights."

As Martin Dinham said, he sat down on the opposite side again at Simon’s sign and continued: “I did a brief survey last night. It’s just the Stanford Advocate in Stamford, Connecticut, with about 370 employees. It involves 13 trade union organizations, including the reporters’ union, the printing workers’ union, and the truck driver’s union. Five of them are national. If these unions work together, even Congress will not take it lightly."

Simon squinted, glanced at several cassettes on the desktop, and asked, "Is there a video of their conversation?"

Martin Dinham nodded, and skillfully found a video tape. After Simon nodded, he walked to the TV on the side of the study and continued: "William III likes to talk about these things in his study. We quietly With cameras installed, most other monitoring points can only install simple eavesdropping devices."

With that said, Martin Dinham stuffed the videotape into the VCR, and the video of William Hirst III and the John Hirst brothers who had just met Simon last night appeared on the TV screen. The content of the discussion was exactly By closing the three newspapers, the Westeros system was put under pressure.

American labor unions will rapidly decline after the new century. This is an inevitable trend.

However, the union forces derived from various established industries in the United States are still very powerful at this stage. Just like the various auto industry unions that are known to have led to the decline of the U.S. auto industry due to excessive demand, various trade unions related to traditional paper media The newspaper industry unions are also intertwined.

The entire Hearst Group has hundreds of newspapers, magazines, and television stations that currently have more than 20,000 employees.

Simon avoids his own affairs and lets the ‘vulnerable group’ act as a spokesperson against the Hearst Group. The Hearst family intends to retaliate.

Compared with the disadvantaged ordinary people, the various paper media industry unions with a total membership of one million are much stronger. Because these unions hold a large number of votes, they also have a great influence on the federal government.

If Simon did not get the evidence of the dialogue between the two brothers in advance, once the Hearst Group is launched, the Westeros system is indeed likely to be in a hurry.

Even if those union organizations understand the potential intention of the Hearst family to close the three newspapers, but because of the lack of substantive evidence, they may get some of the promised benefits of the Hearst family, and they are likely to point the finger at Simon.

Now, as long as he takes the opportunity to release the video after the incident, he finds that the many union members who have become the pressure tool of the Hearst family will never give up. It is just that the employee claims litigation caused by disguised dismissal of this bad nature is enough for Hearst. The family bleeds once.

The three newspapers have more than 1,100 employees, and there are strong unions behind them. The claim amount is definitely calculated in '100 million'.

After watching the video with an expressionless face, Simon thought for a moment and said to Martin Dinham: "Your side will completely withdraw from the investigation of the assassination from now on and focus on monitoring the Hearst family. I need more videos. Materials, not just recordings that are easily refuted. But..."

Simon said that he picked up the remote control on the desk and turned on the TV next to the wall. This time the picture was still a surveillance camera, but it was a surveillance camera near the manor.

Martin Dinham recognized a white Toyota sedan that he had seen flaws when he arrived.

These are the people who regularly follow the Westeros family. The team in charge of Martin Dinham has conducted secret investigations on these people. Among these people, there are private detectives, there are government agents, and Agents in some overseas countries are all forces that covet the Westeros family.

Simon hadn't paid attention to the meaning of these people in the past.

After all, these people are like weeds, they will definitely regenerate after cutting a crop, and the security and intelligence team of the Westeros family is not strong enough. They can only try to avoid these people from breaking into the Westeros home to install them. Devices such as bugs.

Now Simon does not intend to tolerate it anymore.

Seeing that Martin Dinham’s expression was clear, Simon continued: "...Before this, clean up all these worms, and send them to Tierra del Fuego as the last time. Also warn them, and then If someone is close to Westeros's house, I will only send them to heaven or hell."

Martin Dinham nodded, seeing that Simon had no other orders, he helped to rearrange the information on the desktop and briefly introduced him, and then left the study with his empty suitcase.

Regarding the follow-up related to the assassination, since Simon spoke, Martin Dinham didn't mean to ask any more.

From very early on, Martin Dinham knew that Westeros’ secret intelligence team was far more than his. Now a few years later, the intelligence team under the direct jurisdiction of Martin Dinham has grown to five groups of 32 people, but these are still only a small part of the secret power of the Westeros family.

Moreover, Martin Dinham also discovered that these groups of people under his leadership were mostly responsible for monitoring and collecting intelligence. At most, they were only carrying out some tasks to send people to Tierra del Fuego. More sensitive'dirty work'. 'They haven't touched it.

Obviously, there must be a group of ‘executors’ in the Westeros family who are more deeply dark.

During the election of the New York mayor last year, the gang fight in Bowery Bay, Queens, was judged by the authorities to be accidental, and the media basically believed that, only Martin Dinham knew that the relevant gang transaction information was his name A group of teams collected what they provided, and then there was a gang fight in which they did not participate.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

Martin Dinham couldn't help but wonder if there were monitors around him to prevent them from betraying.

But these thoughts did not cause him much trouble.

Even if there is, it is reasonable.

After all, the supervision of real national intelligence agency agents is completely obvious.

This is the rule.

From an Australian authority agent to his current job, Martin Dinham is very satisfied with everything his young boss has given him. Naturally, he has never raised any thoughts of betrayal. Therefore, even if he is really behind him And the eyes do not matter.

When Martin Dinham left the manor, Simon's personal bodyguard Ken Dixon quietly gave him a piece of information about the followers around Westeros who needed to be sent to Tierra del Fuego.

Driving on the way back to Manhattan, Martin Dinham recalled the situation of the meeting.

The expression of his own boss was always calm, but Martin Dinham could feel the obvious murderous intent emanating from the young man. This feeling is very mysterious. At some point, he even felt that the young man sitting behind his desk might have killed people just like them.

This idea was immediately dispelled.

Martin Dinham is clear about many of his own boss’s "brilliant deeds". The young man has extraordinary physical strength and should also know fighting skills. Not only did he easily break the legs of five people with one enemy five Bone also set a record of ten consecutive KOs in an underground boxing stadium in Melbourne. These are topics that their group of people occasionally talk about in private.

Because of this profession, most of them will instinctively worship the strong.

It's just that Martin Dinham doesn't believe it too much if it is said that his boss has killed and seen blood.

The rise of his own boss since the age of 18 is clear, so many eyes are staring, if he has blood on his hands, he must have been picked out as a handle long ago. This country covets Simon Westero’s wealth. The list goes on.

As for an orphan before the age of 18, an orphan may fight with others, but the possibility of murder is unlikely.

After thinking about it for a moment, Martin Dinham quickly put aside these indifferent thoughts.

If you are just a pawn, then feel at ease to do what a **** should do.

Seeing a white Toyota quietly following him through the rearview mirror, Martin Dinham couldn't help but leave a scornful smile on his mouth. These people probably followed Westeros home with ease for too long, and they became waste , I think everyone is waste.

So, let's start with you.
