Chapter 637 Father and Son

West Los Angeles, Coffey Building.

The building is 40 stories high and has been built for thirty years. Because there are sufficient funds for repairs, the building still looks very impressive from the outside.

Xiao Hei stopped the car, looked at the tall building, and asked, "Captain, what are we doing at Kofi Group?"

"Talk to the head of Coffey Group?"

"OK." Xiao Hei nodded, "Who is the current person in charge of Kofi Group?"

"I don't know either.

I will talk to whoever is the current head of Coffey Group. "Luke walked right into the building.

Xiao Hei chased after him, "I understand, whoever benefits the most from this case may be the murderer."

The hotel lobby is very grand, covered with dark marble floor tiles, with wall lamps turned on above, with a seating area on the right and the front desk on the left.

Luke had already seen the introduction of Kofi Group in the car and said to the front desk, "Hello, I want to meet the CEO of your company."

Luke doesn't know who has the final say in this company now, and he probably doesn't know the front desk either. The best way is to meet the actual manager of the company and find out what he says.

A blonde in a black business dress asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"I am Mr. Lee."

"Mr. Li, do you have an appointment?"

"No."

"Feel sorry.

The CEO's schedule is full today, you need to make an appointment to see him..."

"Hi, Captain Li, we meet again." A white man came down from the elevator and greeted with a smile.

Luke turned around and saw Otway Stone, the film company director he had met yesterday.

"Mr. Otway Stone, why are you here?"

Otway Stone smiled and said, "After talking to you yesterday, I realized that the Coffey Group has changed.

Perhaps, I can take this opportunity to fight for some rights and interests of my own.

So, I made an appointment with Ms. Grace Coffey and we had a great conversation. "

Seeing the other party's happy expression, Luke guessed, "Congratulations, you can make the movie you wanted."

"Haha, it's not that easy. I have to finish that...family documentary first.

Say no more, I'm in a hurry.

It suddenly became busy, and I was really not used to it. "Otway Stone waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Luke stopped the other party, "Ms. Grace Coffey is also in Coffey Tower?"

"Yes, she talked to me in the chairman's office." After Otway Stone finished speaking, he left with a smile.

"It seems she is the one we are going to find." Luke said to Xiao Hei, then turned to the front desk lady and said, "I want to see the chief director, Mrs. Grace Coffey."

The blonde still said the same thing as before, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"No, but please help us contact you.

Maybe, she wants to see us too. Luke showed his police badge and said, "Just tell me that Officer Li from the Robbery and Murder Division wants to see her. She knows who I am." "

"Wait a moment." The blonde nodded and picked up the landline to make a call.

After a while, the blonde hung up the phone, her attitude became a little more friendly, and she said with a smile, "Officer Li, Mrs. Grace Coffey is waiting for you in the chairman's office on the 30th floor."

"Thanks."

Luke and Xiao Hei took the elevator to the 30th floor.

The elevator door opened, and standing outside was a smartly dressed short-haired white woman in her forties, asking, "Officer Li?"

"it's me."

"Please come with me. I am Ms. Coffey's assistant."

The short-haired woman walked quickly and without much communication with Luke, she took the two outside the chairman's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A woman's voice came from inside the room.

The short-haired woman opened the door and motioned for Luke and the two of them to enter the office.

The office is very spacious and gorgeously decorated. Opposite is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent lighting. Sitting behind the desk is a woman in a blue dress, none other than Grace Coffey.

Grace Coffey stood up and said hello, "Captain Li, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. I hope you brought good news."

Luke said, "The investigation of the case has indeed made some progress. I came to Kofi Group to consult on some matters."

"How did you know I was here?"

Luke shook his head, "Actually, I don't know, I just want to talk to someone who knows about the Kofi Group.

I happened to run into Director Otway Stone downstairs and he said you are here. "

"Please take a seat. What would you like to drink?"

"Thank you, no need."

Grace Coffey glanced at Xiao Hei and continued to ask, "Do you think my husband's death is related to the company?"

“It’s not certain yet, but with him as chairman of Coffey Group, it’s a strong possibility.

We need to rule this out. "

"OK, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Are you familiar with Otway Stone?"

"He used to be my husband's friend. Later, when his film company's capital chain broke and faced bankruptcy, it was my husband who invested in his company.

I've met him a few times, but I'm not familiar with him. "

"What about your husband's relationship with him?"

"Well... this is a bit complicated to say. Originally, their relationship was very good, but once interests were involved between friends, it would become troublesome. Yes, my husband used this word to describe their relationship."

Luke said, "I talked to Otway Stone, and according to him, your husband tried to annex Otway Films."

"I know, my husband mentioned it to me and he was sad about it.

He had no intention of annexing the Otway Film Company. He knew that Otway Stone owed a lot of foreign debt and needed to repay the foreign debt through the profit of the film company.

Therefore, after my husband took over the film company, he immediately invested money in the film company and made a movie. However, the movie not only did not make any money, but actually lost a lot of money.

That’s why my husband ended his film investment plan.

It’s not that my husband doesn’t want to make money by making movies, but he is waiting for good subjects and projects, but Otway Stone can’t wait.

He was eager to use the profits of the film company to repay his debts, and asked my husband again and again to invest in new movie shooting projects, but the scripts were no better than the previous movie.

It is for this reason that my husband feels that Otway Stone has lost his basic judgment as a film investor.

The more urgent he became, the less my husband dared to hand over the management of the film company to him.

He is like a red-eyed gambler who is likely to put everything on the line to make a profit. "

"When I met Otway Stone, he seemed very happy. You gave him the management of Otway Films again?"

Grace Coffey thought for a while, "You can say that, but there are conditions. He must first finish filming the Coffey family documentary."

Luke asked curiously, "From what you just said, it seems that you agree with your husband's decision, so why did you hand over the film company to Otway Stone?

Aren't you worried that he will make a new movie in a hurry for quick success? "

Grace Coffey smiled and said, “Wow, that’s a good question.

My husband just passed away and Coffey Group needs stability…

I need supporters and don’t want to hear too much opposition.

So, at least at this stage...I'm going to make some concessions.

As for what will happen in the future... who knows?

Maybe it's a new situation.

Let’s wait until he finishes filming the Coffey family documentary before talking about it. "

Luke teased, "So, you got yourself a free coolie."

Grace Coffey shrugged, "You can't say that. If he can come up with a good script and make a profitable movie, I have no reason to refuse."

Luke changed the subject, "Do you know Wang Shaokang?"

Grace Coffey thought for a moment, "What does he do?"

"A lawyer."

"I have indeed dealt with many lawyers, but I am not very familiar with this name." Grace Coffey subconsciously asked, "Which law firm is he from?"

"Xiuying Law Firm."

Grace Coffey shrugged, “I don’t remember ever dealing with a law firm with such a strange name, I don’t know it.

Does this person have anything to do with my husband's case? "

"Not sure yet." Luke said perfunctorily and continued to ask, "Did anything big happen to the Coffey family forty years ago?"

"Forty years ago?

It was such a distant day, when I was a teenager and it was the best time of my life. "Grace Coffey fell into memories, "I had not married into the Coffey family at that time, but our two families were family friends. If something big happened to their family, I should know about it. "

Grace Coffey was silent for a while, frowning slightly, "I remembered that forty years ago, my husband's father was killed. No, to be precise, it should be thirty-nine years ago."

"Mr. Garian Coffey's father was also killed?"

"Yes."

"Did he also work for Coffey Group at the time?"

"He is the founder of Coffey Group and the first chairman of Coffey Group."

"In other words, after thirty-nine years, the two chairman of the Kofi Group were killed?"

"That's right." Grace Coffey nodded and muttered coldly, "It seems that I need to think about it carefully."

Luke thought for a while and found that he did not see the information about the murder of Garian Coffey’s father in the relevant information about Garian Coffey. “Thirty-nine years ago, after the murder of Garian Coffey’s father, which department? The one in charge of the investigation?”

"FBI."

No wonder.

Luke asked, "What was the reason why Gary Coffey's father was killed?"

"Uh..." Grace Coffey looked a little weird, "You should ask the FBI, I don't know very well."

Feeling like he was being evasive, Luke marked the key points in his notebook and asked, "Have you heard about the Silver Cross case?"

"Is it related to my husband's case?"

"Not sure yet, the Silver Cross case happened forty years ago."

Grace Coffey shook her head and laughed, "A teenage girl would not be interested in this kind of case. She has no impression."

Luke stood up and said, "Mrs. Coffey, thank you for your assistance."

"Hope this helps."

"certainly."

Later, Luke and Xiao Hei left the chairman's office.

Xiao Hei asked in a low voice, "Why don't you ask her about Dido Bruns of Kofi Travel Company's business trip to New York?"

"It doesn't make much sense to ask. It will only arouse her vigilance."

"OK, where are we going now?"

…

FBI Los Angeles field office.

Under Luke's leadership, the two entered the FBI office building and took the elevator to the Criminal Investigation Department office area on the third floor.

Xiao Hei exclaimed, "Oh my god, we entered the core area of ​​the FBI so smoothly, and no one stopped us."

Luke shook the work permit in his hand, "No one wants to offend a deputy minister of counter-terrorism."

"OK, I have to say, this name is really bluffing." Xiao Hei smiled.

The two walked outside the office of the Director of the Criminal Investigation Department, and Luke knocked on the door, "Dong dong."

"Come in."

In the office, Anthony raised his head and looked at the door, "Luke, why are you here?"

Luke greeted, "I came to see you, man."

"Haha, your working relationship has just been transferred to the Counter-Terrorism Department. Are you here to handle the formalities?" Anthony was a little envious, "This time you showed your face."

"I've long been used to it." Luke didn't care and pulled up a chair to sit down.

Anthony looked at Xiao Hei, "Man, why are you here too? Are you also coming to join our FBI? Then you have to work harder, our admission standards here are very high."

Xiao Hei rolled his eyes and said, "Haha, I would rather wander on the street."

Anthony smiled and said, "Yeah, congratulations, you found yourself a more suitable job."

Luke interrupted the banter between the two, "Anthony, I am investigating the Coffey family case."

"I heard, Gary Coffey was killed.

He was kind of a big deal in LA and we met at a party. Anthony spread his hands and said, "Man, what do you want me to do?" "

Luke pressed, "Do you know the Coffey family?"

"The Coffey family has many businesses in Los Angeles. I know something about the Coffey Group, but I have never had any contact with it.

I heard that the Coffey family used to have a good relationship with the top brass of the FBI, but those old people are almost gone. "

Luke said, “I learned something while investigating the murder of Garion Coffey. Thirty-nine years ago, Garion Coffey’s father, Burnett Coffey, was also murdered.

The FBI was responsible for investigating the case at that time, and I would like to see the case files from that year. "

Anthony thought for a while and said, "Thirty-nine years have passed between the two cases. Is there any connection?"

Luke said, "On the surface, apart from the fact that they are father and son, there is indeed no connection, but this also involves another silver cross case that was forty years ago.

The same clues were found at the scene of Garion Coffey's murder as in the Silver Cross case, which occurred close to the time of Burnett Coffey's murder.

I always feel that the three cases are connected to a certain extent. "

Anthony picked up the landline on his desk and made a call, "It's me. You go to the archives and find the file on the murder of Burnett Coffey thirty-nine years ago."

"Thanks."

"One of our own."

Xiao Hei pouted, if he came alone, the FBI would never be so easy to talk to.

He suspected that Anthony would find any reason to kick him out of the office.
