Chapter 483 Investigating Epstein

"Jon, what's the news from the organization?"

In a motel in South Los Angeles, Bald Johnson put down the Playboy magazine and looked at Jon who came in from the door.

Killer Jon's face was solemn, "There is some trouble."

After reading the news in the newspaper in the morning, he felt uneasy, always worried that what happened in the newspaper would happen to him and Johnson. In order to find out more information, he went to the phone booth outside to contact his agent and inquire about the internal information of the organization.

Agent 'Kate' told him that the two killers who assassinated Link last Friday were all caught, including the sniper who was crouching upstairs, and the organization has lost contact with the two killers since then.

In addition, Link's side responded strongly after discovering the assassin, first offering a reward of $1 million for the employer's information, and then offering a reward of $100,000 to $1 million for the information of the killer organization and strengthening the security level.

At the same time, the FBI and CIA also set up investigation teams to investigate Link's assassination.

Influenced by this incident, many underground organizations became more cautious in their activities to avoid being implicated in the "Link Assassination Case."

Agent Kate asked them to be careful, and the organization would not lower their scores if they gave up the mission at this time.

"But there is good news. Since Link is so difficult to kill, the organization has increased the level of this mission again. The reward has increased to 1 million US dollars, and the organization will not take a share."

"A million dollars?"

Bald Johnson shouted excitedly.

After hearing that the two killers lost contact after being arrested, Link offered a large reward to purchase the organization's information. His heart became heavy. But then he heard that the mission reward became 1 million US dollars. He instantly forgot the risks involved in this mission, and all he could think about was 1 million US dollars.

If he could make this million, he could buy a luxury house in a prime location in Chicago, the latest Ferrari sports car, enough drugs to last him for years, and more high-end equipment.

With one million, he can do many things that he wanted to do before but didn't have the money to do.

This $1 million is so sweet.

"Yes, we must accept this mission. This one million must be ours."

Bald Johnson shouted excitedly.

"John, calm down. You know how powerful the bodyguards around Link are. Previously, Ladybug used the local gangs to deal with Link, but both Ladybug and the gangs were wiped out. Last Friday, the Ryan brothers tried to assassinate Link on the red carpet, but they were both caught and their lives are unknown. This mission is too risky. If it fails, we will also be involved."

"But the reward is also very high. One million US dollars is more than what we can earn from ten missions. This opportunity is rare, and it would be a pity to give it up."

Bald Johnson said.

Seeing his unusual persistence, the killer John stopped trying to persuade him.

"Now that we have decided to move on, we need to make a new plan and take all the necessary things into consideration, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the task."

"I agree!"

The two of them were in a small hotel, planning the next assassination attempt on Link based on the information they had collected over the past few days.

Since Link was recently on vacation on the island of Hawaii, which is far away from the downtown area and has no suitable means of transportation, it is not convenient for outsiders to enter the island. They decided to stay in Los Angeles and wait for Link to come back before finding a way to kill him.

——

Whoosh whoosh~~

At the Lanai Island Airport, an OH-6 civilian helicopter slowly descended from the air. The huge propeller stirred up a whirlwind on the ground, and the dust on the airport runway scattered in all directions.

After hovering at low altitude for more than ten seconds, the helicopter landed smoothly on the large 'H' mark on the airport apron.

"Link, great job!"

After the helicopter landed, trainer Gene Paulette gave him a thumbs up in the co-pilot seat.

In his first practical experience, Link was not only able to fly a helicopter to an altitude of 5,000 meters, but also landed it accurately on the helipad, which is extremely rare.

This kind of courage and talent for flying an airplane was the first time he had encountered such courage and talent for flying an airplane in his more than 20 years of career. Even the ace pilots in the army did not perform as well as Link on their first test flight.

"Haha, Gene, you taught me well."

Link took off his noise cancelling headphones and smiled.

After deciding to learn to fly an airplane, he hired Gene Paulette's team as his instructor.

Gene Paulette served in the United States Air Force for twelve years and retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He later founded a flying club in Los Angeles and is a gold medal instructor.

Under the guidance of Gene's team, Link learned relevant theoretical knowledge while performing simulated operations in the flying club.

He passed the theoretical exam in three weeks and also scored high in the ground simulation test.

Today he was doing a test flight at Lanai Airport, with a range of 100 kilometers, and he did quite well.

After following the driving course, two more flights accompanied by an instructor and three solo flights, he will be able to obtain a pilot certificate.

After getting his helicopter pilot's license, his next step is to try flying jet planes and F15 fighter jets.

These two aircraft can fly higher and farther, and are more exciting to learn.

When filming "Pearl Harbor" the following year, he plans to add some air combat elements to make the movie more exciting.

"Link, be careful. Flying a helicopter is too dangerous. We are all very nervous watching from below."

When he got off the plane, Liu Xiaoli, Monica and others came up to him, with looks of nervousness and worry on their faces.

"Don't worry, helicopters are very safe and the chances of accidents are lower than driving a car. In addition, Mr. Paulette is on the plane. With him as a top coach, nothing will go wrong."

Link walked between his girlfriends and put his arms around them to comfort them.

Originally, he wanted to learn to fly a plane without telling his girlfriends to prevent them from worrying too much.

It was troublesome and unnecessary to just tell lies, so he chose to confess and said that he learned to drive to make it easier to film.

Liu Xiaoli, Monica and others tried to persuade him several times, but seeing that he insisted, they did not continue to persuade him. They just kept reminding him to be careful, over and over again.

"Link, you are a big boss now, a father of dozens of children, and you have a lot of responsibilities. Please don't take risks like this. We can't live without you."

Liu Xiaoli leaned against him tightly and embraced him with tenderness.

"Yes, flying a plane is very risky. There are several terrible disasters every year. And you have filmed Final Destination. Don't you have any psychological trauma when flying a plane?"

Monica held onto his fingers and wouldn't let go.

"Yes, that's why I memorized all kinds of information before the actual operation, practiced the ground simulation operation tens of thousands of times, and invited Mr. Paulette to be the co-pilot. I did this to avoid accidents. Don't worry, I love life more than anyone else, and I can't bear to leave you and the children. I did this just to make a movie."

Link laughed.

"Link, you look so cool flying a helicopter. When are you going to practice next time? I want to sit on it and enjoy the view."

Sophia asked with a smile.

Monica glared at her, "You should have talked him out of flying instead of encouraging him to continue doing such dangerous things."

"Monica, Lina, Link is very powerful, like Superman. We should believe in him."

Sophia laughed.

"You can trust other things, but flying a helicopter is different. When a plane is flying in the air, the risk factor is higher."

Sandra Bullock also doesn't support Link flying a plane.

"Link said he'd be careful, he's that powerful."

Angelina Jolie said.

"Julie, stop talking. You shouldn't encourage this kind of thing."

The girlfriends were divided into two groups and discussed the matter.

His older and more stable girlfriends, such as Liu Xiaoli and Monica, do not approve of Link flying a plane;

And his young, fun-loving girlfriends, such as Sofia Jolie, support him in doing so.

In the end, because he insisted, his girlfriends had no choice but to support him.

After returning to the Moon Bay Villa, assistant Aishwarya came up to report on his work and said that many people had called to express their condolences to him after watching the news and asked him to pay attention to safety.

Aishwarya took out a list of names, more than 60 people called him, and more than 300 people contacted him through text messages and emails.

Link picked up his phone and selected a few familiar people to call back, and left the rest to Aishwarya and two assistants.

"Link, are those news reports true? Someone shot you with a sniper rifle and almost hit you?"

Quentin asked on the phone.

"I didn't notice it when I was walking on the red carpet, but I found out about it after seeing the photos."

"You are so lucky. According to the media, the bullet was less than ten centimeters away from you and almost hit your head. It was too dangerous. I told you a long time ago that as a director, you should focus on making movies and not do other things. Now look, someone is jealous of you and hired a killer to deal with you."

"It doesn't matter. Building a business is like climbing a mountain. If you want to reach the top, you will inevitably encounter setbacks and blows. I can handle what's happening right now."

"You better handle it. I want you to live to see how my movie beats yours at the box office."

"Haha, that's an interesting idea."

Link chatted with the talkative Quentin for a few minutes, and then called other people back, including Michael Ovitz, Harvey and others.

Link asked bluntly if this matter had anything to do with them.

The two men pointed to the sky and swore to God that the assassin's affairs had nothing to do with them.

Link said it would be the best if it didn't matter. The FBI already has some clues, and the next step is to catch the murderer. Hopefully, he really has nothing to do with them.

After making a series of phone calls, Link thought quietly for a while, then called Joseph Schmidt, the head of Blackwater's intelligence department, and asked him to help keep an eye on a person, Jeffrey Epstein.

He was suspicious of Epstein for two reasons.

First, this guy is a bad guy with a complicated background and channels for hiring killers.

Second, the killer appeared after he had rejected Epstein's invitation several times. Epstein might have become angry and hired someone to assassinate him.

Therefore, Epstein is more likely to be suspected.

Next are the six major film industry shareholders and stakeholders.

Without him, guess what - MGM would have suffered a huge setback, and the film industry landscape would have changed in favor of the Big Six.

There are more suspects in the third tier.

They include people in the film industry, crazy admirers of his girlfriends, rivals of Flash Gold Capital, and Kingsoft Capital, which took action against Soros and other international speculators during the Hong Kong financial crisis at the beginning of the year, causing them to suffer heavy losses. They are also suspects.

etc.

We still need to wait for the results of the investigation by the company and the FBI to find out who did it.
