The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Not only does he pick up girls, he also brings business to their companies. This Carol Andy can be called a model lover.

Juan asked many questions, but felt that this one made the most sense. They had secretly inquired about the Ackerman Charitable Foundation, and the foundation, under the banner of charity, had never done any charitable work.

The Venice Beach Club, the missing women, the suicides of Guerrero and Bro Derick, all point to the Ackerman Charitable Foundation.

Thinking of this, Juan felt that the focus should still be on the relationship between Hallasan Company and the Ackerman Charitable Foundation.

He thought for a moment and said, "Besides business and Carol, has Veronica had any other connection with the Ackerman Charitable Foundation this year?"

"Other aspects?" Dominic thought for a long time before he slowly said, "It seems... there seems to be one thing. Let me think about it."

Juan didn't urge him and let him think about it himself.

Dominic recalled and said, "A few months ago, I don't remember the exact time, Hallasan's business was normal, it didn't encounter any difficulties, and it didn't have any dealings with the Ackerman Charitable Foundation. Veronica organized a welfare checkup for all employees of the company, including two family members. I also went at that time. The checkup institution was affiliated with the Ackerman Charitable Foundation."

He suddenly remembered: "Not long after the company received the physical examination results, the business began to decline, and some old employees with poor performance were laid off."

Juan pondered and asked, "Did Veronica know Carol at that time?"

"No, I wouldn't be wrong, because Veronica was very anxious." Dominic gradually recalled more things: "After a while, she met Carol. I don't know exactly how they met, but I later went to the company to pick up the watch I left there. I heard from a former colleague that Veronica got an order from the Ackerman Charitable Foundation less than a week after dating Carol, which solved the company's urgent needs."

Juan wrote down all these words.

He asked some more questions, but Dominic's answers did not contain any useful information. He had basically asked all the questions that could be asked.

Juan took out $300, handed it to Dominic, and said, "Thank you for the news tip. Keep these."

Dominic took the money with a cheerful smile on his face.

For someone who is so poor, anything he says is redundant; money is the most real thing.

Juan added: "News involves risks. We will strictly abide by the provisions of the Press Act and will not tell anyone that the news came from you. You should also be careful not to say anything to others."

In a place like Los Angeles, there are news informants everywhere. Dominic has seen news informants being beaten before, so he nodded hurriedly: "I know, I won't tell anyone about this."

Juan said nothing more, quickly left the house, got in his car and left Koreatown.

He returned to the company, took out the recorder from his pocket and handed it to Campos.

The latter listened to it and felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly where it was. So he simply called Edward and sent the audio file to him using Twitter's encrypted mailbox.

A few minutes later, Edward entered Hawke's office with the copied USB drive.

He handed the USB to Hawke and said, "Boss, this is what Juan just learned about an employee who was fired by Hallasan Trading Company an hour ago."

Hawke took the USB drive, plugged it into his laptop, and clicked play.

The sound of the conversation between the two men was very clear.

When Hawke heard that all the employees of Hallasan Company had brought their families to the medical institution affiliated with the Ackerman Charitable Foundation for a physical examination, he immediately thought of what Carol had done.

This man has a long history of bad deeds and has kidnapped many girls. According to the information left by Guerrero, Carol can be said to be one of the direct perpetrators.

Ackerman Charitable Foundation, there must be a blood test option for physical examinations. Combined with his own experience, Hawke can't help but make some associations.

Is there something wrong with Veronica and Rachel's blood types?

Hawke picked up the phone, dialed Campos' number, and said, "Try to find out Veronica and Rachel's blood types."

Campos responded: "I'll find a way to check it out right now."

He hung up the phone and immediately called Juan and asked him to continue investigating.

On Twitter, Hawke listened to the recording again and felt more and more that there was a problem between Carol Andy and Veronica, the so-called engaged couple.

Edward had heard Hawke mention the charity's medical examinations many times before. After listening, he said, "Does this Veronica's blood type and organs match the boss's?"

"That's possible." Hawke said simply, "Before the physical examination, Hallasan Trading Company's business was normal. The boss, Veronica, even asked the company to pay for a welfare physical examination. At that time, she had not yet met Carol. Shortly after the physical examination, Hallasan Trading Company's business began to decline, and many employees were laid off."

The more he spoke, the more he felt something was wrong: "Then Carol showed up. He was like a savior. He brought orders from the Ackerman Charity Foundation and won Veronica's heart."

Edward continued, "This is not the style of the Ackerman Charity Foundation. The girls who disappeared from the Superstar Training School were all kidnapped directly."

Hawke expanded on this line of thought and said, "It's different now than before. Last time, the Venice Beach Club burned to ruins, and Guerrero and Bro Derick committed suicide. The Ackerman Charitable Foundation is bound to fall into the eyes of those with ulterior motives. It will be easy to get hold of them if you act directly."

At this point, he thought of Veronica's identity again: "That mother and daughter are not ordinary people. They have a net worth of millions of dollars and many employees and customers. It is also troublesome if they suddenly disappear for no reason." "What does Carol want to do? Create an accident?" Edward's imagination was opened at this time: "On their honeymoon trip, the wife and stepdaughter fell into the sea and disappeared? Or a family of three went on a trip to Latin America and encountered a large number of robbers, who took away all the people and their property?"

Hawke tapped the desk lightly. "If there's something wrong with Veronica or Rachel's blood type, Carol's real target is them. After Rachel's theft, it shouldn't be long before she takes action. As long as we keep an eye on this mother and daughter, we'll be able to find out Carol's real purpose."

Edward asked, "Ask Campos to send more people?"

Hawke nodded: "Okay."

Edward went to make the call.

Hawke played the audio clip again, and perhaps because of his preconceived notions, he felt that there was a big problem.

With the Ackerman family's wealth, the chances of plotting against Veronica's millionaire wealth are slim. Would a cruel person like Carol really fall in love with a big-faced woman with a child? And take the initiative to help introduce the business of the Ackerman Charity Foundation?
Hawke thought again of Rachel's theft case that had just happened. Was this case just Rachel and others simply stealing things?
This seems to be the current situation.

Nicholas and the other three girls pointed at Rachel and said she was the one who proposed it and took the lead.

Rachel denied it, thinking she was bewitched by Nicholas.

Because the suspect is a minor, the detective bureau was interrogating him with his parents, lawyers, and school representatives, and it was difficult to tell whether the questions he asked were true or false.

Despite pressure from the Buckley High School board of directors, the LAPD did not intend to investigate further, and even the celebrity victims were reluctant to talk about the matter.

After all, the case itself is just a formality.

Horn previously thought that this was a minor case, but now, considering the situation investigated by Juan, he felt that there might be something fishy going on.

He picked up his phone and sent a text message to Erica first.

After receiving the text message and confirming that Erica was free, Hawke called directly: "I need the information of Nicholas and the other three girls, including their names and home addresses."

Erica said without any nonsense, "Wait a moment, I'll send it to you."

A few minutes later, Hawke received several MMS photos with detailed information of Nicholas and others.

From name to contact information to home address.

Hawke asked Edward to print it out and said, "Aren't you good at dealing with divorced women with children? Go and contact them and ask them who is the mastermind behind Rachel's theft."

Edward looked through the information and found a girl from a single-parent family.

The girl's name is Eleanor. Her parents are divorced and she currently lives with her mother.

In cases like this, Edward's expertise is perfect for the job.

Edward said, "Boss, I can't deal with Nicholas. He has a happy family and his parents are both alive. But this girl named Eleanor, I guarantee I can take her down."

Hawke said, "Why do you think I let you go?"

Edward smiled with two rows of white teeth: "Wait for my good news."

Hawke reminded: "Put on some makeup, don't draw attention to yourself."

Edward nodded. "That old bastard Frank introduced me to a makeup artist who is very professional. I will go find his studio right away."

Hawke was the only one left in the office.

He was thinking about whether to mobilize Paris Hilton.

The phone rang at this time, and there was new news from Campos. Nicholas and the girl named Amanda went to see Rachel again today, which made Veronica furious, and she called the parents of the two.

Fiona pretended to be a media reporter and interviewed two people. They just said they came to visit Rachel. Nicholas was very vigilant, much more mature than the average 14-year-old boy, and spoke in a very organized manner.

Such people come again and again to add fuel to the fire, and it is very likely that they have ulterior motives.

Hawke combined information from all sides and felt more and more that there was a problem.

Before leaving get off work in the evening, Juan received new news. After the physical examination results came out, the employee who resigned from Hallasan Trading Company heard two female assistants talking privately. They said that the president Veronica complained to her ex-husband on the phone that her daughter Rachel inherited her rare blood type, and if she had surgery in the future, blood transfusion would be a problem.

Upon receiving the news, Hawke immediately gave Campos an order: "Keep an eye on these people. You can let Carol go, but Veronica and Rachel must not be out of sight."
