Chapter 180: Politicians
"How much are they going to pay?"
Sloan asked Hamlyn as he looked at the insurance company employee who was pacing off his cell phone and kept talking about his cellphone.
Countless reporters outside, countless police officers inside, this public hospital has no longer care about the trivial matter of using mobile phones, and they even have to have ambulances to take patients to other nearby hospitals.
"It depends on the situation, APLUS often faints, and is an African-American hip-hop singer, and the amount of compensation for personal accident and other insurance is not high, but you know, CNA also underwrites many of his performance contracts, if the contract cannot be performed because of the vicious case of the policyholder such as the Barn case, even if the compensation is paid, the amount will not be too high, and the insurance company can first sue us and the project loss party and then negotiate and settle. But if APLUS is unfortunate this time ......"
Hamlin did not disclose the specific figures: "CNA will lose tens of millions of dollars on his 32-game world tour contract with Anschutz this year alone, as well as the promotional tasks of football stunner and Blade Warrior and the sky-high singer contract just signed with Geffen Records...... It must add up to hundreds of millions. ”
"It's not that they don't know that APLUS is at risk of being assassinated, and they should have done their best to help us eliminate it." Sloan complained: "Now you know you have a heart attack? ”
"We've been saying it, but it's another thing whether others believe it or not, whether they can do it or not."
Hamlin said solemnly: "With so much money to lose, they will also independently investigate the case through private investigators and other channels, and maybe they will hope to shirk their responsibility." Did you read the news? Some media said that the cause of the shootout was a dispute over land with local farmers, and that if we were the first to shoot, the nature would be very different. For more than 100 million meters, don't think they don't dare to do it......"
At the same time, the office of the governor of Springfield City.
"Was it really three white men on horseback? Are you sure? What did you see with your own eyes? ”
Peter Flock was talking to the frightened Kozko on the phone, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he cursed angrily, casually waved the antique bronze cannon ornament on the table to the ground, and then rubbed his eyebrows and sighed deeply, "Use the classic execution method of the 3Klux Klan to APLUS?" This will make African-Americans riot again in Chicago and even across the country...... Forget it, you can rest, it's okay if people are fine. ”
Put down the phone, "Now what do we do?" He asked his chief of staff and legal advisers.
"Did Kozko do something to the cowboys? Leads to ......"
Eli, the chief of staff, knew the businessman's close friend well.
"Kozko is absolutely not immune to land disputes." Black legal counsel reminds.
"I know that APLUS can't and doesn't need to force the local farmers and herdsmen into the air, and I warned Kozko to stop using those tricks from the past......"
Peter was not sure what he was saying, and he called the Chicago police chief, who had already arrived at the hospital.
"The confessions of the APLUS people are not very consistent, some say that the three cowboys and APLUS have met at least once or twice before, and some say that the three killers today are not the same group of local cowboys who used to graze there before."
"But soon there will be results, a cowboy shooter died at the scene, and our people are taking photos to compare with the locals," the director reported. ”
"Dragnet search, with all the police force at your disposal, must catch the two gunmen who escaped." Peter said: "Also, there should be a police presence in the urban areas to guard against African disturbances, especially in the southern city. ”
"Yes! Mr. Governor. ”
"Alicia." She called her again, "Are you at the hospital?" Well, call me back as soon as that clarifies the situation...... Well. ”
"Call from Underwood." Eli handed over the phone.
"I've heard that the gunman was a white man on horseback...... Underwood said.
"Your message is correct." Peter replied.
Underwood was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment, "Because of a land dispute?" ”
"There is no investigation conclusion on this yet, but it is most likely not."
"Stabilize the APLUS people, I'll let Claire come back first......"
Underwood and Peter had a brief chat before returning the phone to his chief of staff, Doug.
"Peter Frock will be at the site of the crime tomorrow for the groundbreaking ceremony, and APLUS is there today to inspect the preparations...... Peter's real estate developer friend is also there. ”
Doug reminds.
"Now everyone is in the stage of mutual suspicion, let's wait for more information to judge." Underwood was noncommittal, "Check my schedule and see if I can put some business aside and get back to Chicago for the day before the inauguration of the Commander on the Twentieth." ”
"I'll try, it's hard." Doug nodded, "The chairman of CNA has called you several times. ”
"Tell him I'll call back when I figure things out." Underwood doesn't want to make a deal with the other party for the time being.
"Mr. Underwood, please come ......"
The two were outside the office of Deputy Commander Gore at this time, and the other party's subordinates came out to invite.
Gore briefly inquired about the situation and said, "The Grand Commander doesn't want to see the situation of '92 before the inauguration, he has already greeted the mayors of various dangerous cities, the FBI and the ......" Halfway through, he suddenly raised his voice impatiently, "Horseback? Earnest? Holy shxt! At the end, he cursed.
"Chicago is pretty sure."
Underwood smiled wryly, it is common for whites to kill blacks, and it is really a rare thing to kill on horseback, which will make blacks recall the tragic memories of the years when the Ku Klux Klan was raging, and if it is not handled well, there will be a big mess, "It may be that it is just the local cowboy who kills passionately, and the 3K Party will not be crazy enough to face the bullets and bullets of so many bodyguards of APLUS." ”
"Didn't APLUS just get a good gospel song with the Chicago Symphony? My pastor was full of praise. ”
Gore sighed.
"Jesse Helms is still on vacation at home in North Carolina?"
"No, it's unlikely ......"
At the same time, in New York, the mayor's office, Giuliani is watching FoxNews, looking at the scene of the crime from a helicopter perspective, Chicago City Police, Cook County Police and Illinois State Police officers in various uniforms are scattered everywhere looking for clues and taking pictures, police dogs are also dispatched, and a large team of FBI field agents with the words FBI on the back has just arrived.
At present, the police have not yet developed a press conference, and there is very little information, FoxNews only made a brief short news, and the front-line reporters connected to introduce the basic situation.
"Remember what you promised me? Howard. He asked Howard Stringer on the other end of the line.
"It's not certain yet, I'm looking into it." Howard Stringer replied.
"Wow...... Keep up the good work. ”
He hung up the phone sarcastically, much more relaxed than the Donkey Party, "You go to the police station to meet those two singers in Brooklyn." He ordered it to a close prosecutor.
"I'm going? Not quite right, right? The prosecutor hesitated.
"You go in person, pacify or intimidate, and find a way to stabilize them."
"Okay."
At a police station in Brooklyn, Jazzy and Damon Dash were locked up in an interrogation room, and the two men who were brought in by the police came to the door to help investigate the case looked around angrily, "We have the right to speak to the lawyer!" Anyone? People are all M-fxxk dead!? "Damon Dash kept yelling outside the door to vent his emotions.
No one paid attention to it at all, and the two of them have been sitting since they entered the door.
After waiting for a long time, the door was finally pushed open, and a white prosecutor walked in, "Hello, introduce yourself." The prosecutor held out his hand.
"We don't answer any questions without a lawyer." Damon Dash refused to shake hands.
"APLUS was shot in Chicago." The prosecutor went straight in, "Just before you came in. ”
"He's dead?" Damon Dash looked at Jazzy in surprise.
"Not yet, it's being rescued, it's in the same situation as 2PAC that time." The prosecutor replied.
"I haven't heard of it." Jazzy said alarmedly.
"Because we're a little more well-informed than you two, let's put it this way, we don't want something to happen in New York, so ...... Sorry for the rude tactics, I know you guys have a lot of energy in Brooklyn. The prosecutor said: "No pejorative." ”
"You can't keep us for long, twenty-four hours? At most, and I'm going to contact a lawyer soon, it's our right! Damon Dash said angrily, "We can afford to pay for bail." ”
"Without any conditions, maybe we can make a deal." The prosecutor laughed: "There are not many opportunities like this...... For example, expungement of some criminal records for you or something? ”
"I'm long gone, and I'm done in prison." Jazzy replied.
"Really? Then we can also change the approach and sincerely help you clarify, let's just say that the gangster elements in your song are just artistic processing, you are our model citizen, a good baby in Brooklyn. ”
The prosecutor continued to smile: "Is this okay?" Jazzy? ”
Jazzy wiped his hands on his face and looked at Damon Dash beside him.
