Things turned out just as David expected.
Near noon, several police officers from the Los Angeles Police Major Crime Unit came to the door to investigate what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, Lyon and the others tried to kidnap and rob Xiao Ran, but they failed.
As a result, they were all killed that night, which is hard not to make people suspicious.
Through the call records between Lyon and the gangsters, as well as the messages sent to each other, plus the whereabouts investigation.
The Los Angeles police soon discovered Xiao Ran's existence and came to the door.
Xiao Ran did not deliberately delete or destroy all this information to avoid leaving any holes.
The detectives from the crime team came to the door, but they couldn't see Xiao Ran immediately.
The first people they faced were David and his assistant lawyer.
This made the detectives of the crime team unexpected and much more cautious.
For an ordinary Chinese international student, they can play some tricks and even knock out a large sum of money to make a windfall.
But facing a sharp-tongued American lawyer, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous unless they didn't want to do it anymore.
When they learned that Xiao Ran donated a million dollars to the police union and received a badge of honor from the police union, their attitude suddenly became much more polite.
After meeting the guys from the Major Crime Unit, David first introduced the situation.
He told the police with certainty that Xiao Ran had nothing to do with what happened last night.
Later, he also introduced a series of events that happened yesterday without hiding anything.
Moreover, he told the police that Xiao Ran had been in the villa last night. There were not only witnesses but also surveillance videos as evidence.
After hearing his explanation, the police officers from the serious crime team immediately understood.
This Chinese guy who suddenly became rich probably had nothing to do with the series of murders last night. He just happened to be targeted by those scumbags.
As a result, those scumbags were even more unlucky. Before they could rob the newly minted billionaire, they were all killed.
The person who killed them may be the person they used the same method to scheme against before.
They definitely do things like this a lot.
It doesn't seem surprising that someone is now looking for revenge.
This is called tit for tat, and you are asking for it!
Because of David's presence, these serious crime police officers also understood that it was impossible to make extra money today.
After explaining the situation and clearing Xiao Ran's suspicion, David took several police officers from the crime team to see him.
After the two parties met and got to know each other, the police began to ask about what happened yesterday.
Xiao Ran did not hide anything and told several police officers everything that happened inside and outside the auction house yesterday.
Of course, he never mentioned the warehouse he photographed yesterday, let alone Charles's name.
That warehouse had nothing to do with last night's series of murders, and the police didn't ask for details.
After understanding the situation, the police detective leading the team pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Sean, can you let us see the surveillance from last night? We need to determine your whereabouts."
"After all, you have a grudge against Leon and others. Only by seeing solid evidence can we make a correct judgment."
Upon hearing this, David was immediately ready to object.
Xiao Ran waved his hand to stop him.
Then, he smiled and nodded.
"No problem, Detective Robert, you can see the surveillance data of this villa last night."
"Through this method, I hope to completely clear my body of suspicion, so as to prevent people from making random suspicions."
"After all, I am a professional treasure hunter. I will continue to work in this industry in the future and I need to prove my innocence."
After saying that, he took David and Robert to the monitoring room.
In the monitoring room, he pulled out all the surveillance videos after returning to the villa yesterday and asked Robert to watch them again.
It includes footage of him cutting small safes in his garage with a portable waterjet.
This was done on purpose so that the Los Angeles police would become witnesses and prove that there was nothing in the small safe.
After quickly reading all the surveillance, the little doubt that Robert had in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Afterwards, these guys said goodbye and left to investigate elsewhere.
After sending the policemen out of the gate and back to the front yard, Xiao Ran suddenly stopped.
He stood there and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Anthony.
"Anthony, I wonder if you are interested in coming to work for me and be my personal bodyguard?"
"I need at least four outstanding bodyguards like you. Each of them must have various gun licenses and have good skills and marksmanship."
"If you work with me, your salary will be twice as high as in a security company, and the tasks will be relatively easy."
"In addition to salary, if I make a major discovery and you participate, you will also receive generous bonuses..."
Before they finished speaking, Anthony and Sam's faces were filled with ecstasy.
They fully understood how generous Xiao Ran was.
They couldn't refuse his offer.
Only a fool would not do it if he could make more money reasonably and legally!
Without any hesitation, the two guys immediately nodded vigorously.
"Sure Sean, we'd love to work for you"
"Who doesn't want to make more money? Unless he's mentally ill."
"We can also bring some guys over, such as Marvin and the others. Those guys are very skilled."
Xiao Ran then smiled and nodded.
"That's the best thing. You should prepare to resign from the security company and come here to be my personal bodyguards."
Next, he chatted with David and Anthony for a few words and discussed hiring bodyguards.
After discussing this topic, Xiao Ran took David into the living room to talk.
Meanwhile, the community of professional treasure hunters in Los Angeles has exploded.
When many treasure hunters heard that Leon and White were killed last night, they were all shocked and stunned.
Some of the well-informed guys quickly heard about Lyon's dirty actions yesterday.
Everyone who heard the news was shocked.
After the shock, many people focused their attention on Xiao Ran, and they were all shocked.
Especially those guys who were hiding in the dark and coveting Xiao Ran's wealth were frightened.
Some of them immediately began to retreat and no longer dared to take Xiao Ran's idea.
But there are some guys who have been blinded by money for a long time and still refuse to repent!
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.
In the past two days, except for going to school to meet the tutor once, Xiao Ran never went anywhere else.
Not only that, Anthony and the others have been guarding outside the villa 24 hours a day.
David's two assistant lawyers also worked three shifts to guard here, lest the police suddenly come to the door and take Xiao Ran away with any excuse.
Two days later, the heat of the killing night quickly cooled down, and people's attention was attracted by other things.
In a city like Los Angeles, many hot events happen every day and attract people's attention.
People are fickle, forgetful, and find it difficult to stay focused on one thing for a long time.
David arrived at the villa just after nine o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he entered the door, this guy said:
"Sean, do you want me to file a complaint with City Hall or the Police Department to get rid of those guys outside?"
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"No, those guys from the Crime Unit are happy to keep an eye on them, so let them continue. They can just be used as free bodyguards."
"There is a saying in China that if you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanted shadow. I have never done anything bad, so I don't have to worry about police follow-up and investigation."
After a pause, David nodded and said:
"I'm not afraid of those guys following me, I'm just afraid of those guys playing some dirty tricks!"
"Just in case, I will have the assistant lawyer stay with you 24 hours a day and not give those guys a chance."
"Okay, I believe those guys won't last long and will probably leave soon."
Xiao Ran said with an indifferent smile.
"By the way, I suggest you make some anti-surveillance and anti-listening modifications on your mobile phone, so that others can't monitor your calls or locate and track you."
"The anti-surveillance and anti-eavesdropping transformation of mobile phones can be left to Anthony and others. This is their responsibility."
Hearing David's suggestion, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.
Of course he would not refuse such a good thing.
"Wow! This is a great suggestion. Not only does my phone need to be modified for anti-monitoring and monitoring, but so do Elaine's and theirs!"
After chatting for a few words, they changed the topic.
David took out a document bag from his briefcase and handed it over casually.
"Sean, this is what I found. The relevant information about Davis' huge investment losses should be helpful to today's negotiations."
Xiao Ran took the information, smiled and nodded.
"Let me take a look at this information first to see how to deal with Davis, an old fox."
As he spoke, he began to check the information.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed.
The door of the villa opened, and a Cullinan drove out of the villa, followed by a Mercedes-Benz.
The Mercedes-Benz is David's car and he drives it himself.
Cullinan was driven by Anthony, with Xiao Ran sitting in the back seat.
At this time, Anthony, Sam, and two other bodyguards had resigned from the security company and came to work for Xiao Ran, becoming real private bodyguards.
As soon as the two cars drove out of the villa, Sam drove a Chevrolet Suburban and immediately followed them.
At the same time, an off-road vehicle not far away started to follow the convoy.
Sitting in that car were two detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department's Major Crimes Division.
Xiao Ran didn't take the following of these guys seriously at all.
As long as it's not the FBI, it means these guys have missed the point.
