In just half an hour, a police officer walked in happily.
"Reporting to Chief, after our detailed interrogation, they have confessed everything. The middleman who called them is called Kopple. On the surface, he's an agent of Paramount, but in fact, he has close ties with many organizations. "
"Paramount?" Xiao Yunhai's heart skipped a beat. "Tian Junhao didn't ask Thomas to be his contact, did he? If there's anyone in Hollywood who hates himself the most, it's undoubtedly this Thomas. "
Terps nodded and said, "Very good. Go and arrest Kopple immediately. "
"The Deputy Chief has already brought some people over," said the police officer.
Terps nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done. Mr. Xiao, you see … "
Xiao Yunhai took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Kopple is just a middleman. There must be a big fish behind him. Director Topps, it's not easy to earn 100 million US dollars. "
"Now that things have progressed to this point, I have absolute confidence that there won't be any problems," said Terps with a smile.
Unfortunately, reality gave Terps a loud slap in the face. Kopple had left Los Angeles this morning and his mobile phone was directly turned off.
When Terps heard the news, he almost fainted from anger. It was as if he saw 100 million dollars growing wings and flying away. Now, all the clues had been completely cut off by Kopple. It was undoubtedly countless times more difficult to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
Xiao Yunhai looked at Terps, who was frowning, and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Chief Terps, I can give you a clue."
Hearing this, Terps asked, "What clue?"
"Go and arrest a young man named Thomas from Paramount," said Xiao Yunhai with a smile. "Tell him that Kopple has already been arrested by you and that he's the mastermind behind the scenes. I'm sure you'll have a great harvest."
Terps rolled his eyes and asked, "Is Mr. Xiao on bad terms with Thomas?"
"It should be said that they're very bad," said Xiao Yunhai. I know that Thomas' uncle, Mr. Angus, is a big shot in Paramount. Now, let's see if Mr. Topps dares to gamble for 100 million dollars. "
Turps frowned and pondered for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, let's do it."
In a villa in Los Angeles, Thomas paced back and forth in the living room anxiously. His face was filled with nervousness and uneasiness, and his phone was almost crushed by his grip.
"That bastard Kopple, he didn't even turn on his phone. Where the hell did he go?"
The attack on Xiao Yunhai's manor was done by Thomas after he received a call from Tian Junhao.
Tian Junhao promised to give him one billion US dollars after the matter was done. Thomas hated Xiao Yunhai deeply, and with so much money, he agreed without thinking.
He knew that Copper had dealings with many organizations, so he asked him to do this.
Unexpectedly, there was a slip-up. The group of mercenaries did not complete the mission, and three of them died.
Thomas was shocked. He had been trying to contact Copper since he got the news. He had made hundreds of calls, but the other party's phone was turned off. He couldn't find him at his home.
Thomas was extremely flustered now. What he was most worried about was that Copper had fallen into the hands of the police.
Just as he was fidgeting, the sound of a police car suddenly rang outside the villa.
Thomas quickly went to the window and opened the curtains, only to see many policemen outside pressing the doorbell.
Ring, ring, ring.
The doorbell rang in the living room, but to Thomas, it sounded like a sound from hell.
Thomas was at a loss of what to do. He quickly called his uncle, An Ge.
"Uncle, I'm going to be taken away by the police. You must save me."
Angus was shocked and asked in a deep voice, "What did you do?"
Thomas quickly explained the situation to Angus. Before Angus could reply, the police had already forced their way in.
"Mr. Thomas, we suspect that you're involved in hiring someone to kill someone. Please come with us now. This is an arrest warrant, please. "
Thomas's phone fell to the ground and he shouted in panic, "Uncle, save me, save me."
Unfortunately, his phone was quickly taken away by the police and he was taken away.
In the police station, the struggling Thomas was brought to the interrogation room. He saw Xiao Yunhai at a glance and said, "It's you."
Xiao Yunhai looked at him coldly and said, "Thomas, you're really bold. How dare you send people to hurt my family? Do you know that if anything happens to my wife, you'll die an even worse death? "
Thomas pretended to be calm and said, "Xiao, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all. "
Xiao Yunhai snorted and sneered, "Your acting is really bad. If there's no evidence, do you think the police would dare to invite you, a shareholder of Paramount Cinema, here? Thomas, stop struggling. Koppel is now next door to you and is being tortured by the police. This guy has committed a lot of crimes. I guess he won't be able to get out of here for the rest of his life. " "The two mercenaries who didn't die were directly locked up in prison. What awaited them was life imprisonment." "By the way, that Tian Junhao, your old classmate, is also in a very bad situation in Hua Xia." The video of your unsightly and promiscuous gathering when you guys were in university spread throughout China. He was so agitated that he beat up Xia Xiaohu, the one who distributed the video, until he was half dead. He had committed the crime of intentional assault and would face at least five years in prison. "But this is far from enough." "He dared to hire mercenaries to hurt my wife and the child in my belly. How can I, Xiao Yunhai, let him off so easily?"
When Thomas heard that Xiao Yunhai knew everything, his body went soft and he collapsed to the ground.
Xiao Yunhai looked at his pitiful appearance and knew that the bluff was almost over. He said, "Thomas, the reason why I asked to see you alone is to give you a chance." "The crime of being the mastermind behind the scenes is completely different from that of being an accomplice. One is sentenced to life imprisonment, while the other is only seven or eight years in prison. Whether you can seize this opportunity or not depends on whether you have evidence to pin your old classmate to death. If not, I'm sorry, but you can only be the scapegoat. "
When Thomas heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He knelt in front of Xiao Yunhai and cried, "Mr. Xiao, you're right. The culprit is Tian. I'm just an accomplice. I was blinded by hatred and a billion dollars. Please let me go this time. "
"Where's the evidence?" Xiao Yunhai asked. "There's no evidence. It's useless to just talk."
"I have it. It's in my mobile phone." Thomas hurriedly said. "When I learned that he was going to do this, I secretly recorded it."
Terps, who was watching the surveillance in the room outside, said, "Quick, check Thomas' mobile phone and pull out the recording."
A young policeman fiddled with it for a long time and then said, "Found it, Chief."
