"Wolf Esworth, the younger brother of City Councilor Henry. And, interestingly, this Wolf Esworth has been cooperating with a real estate company in recent years, trying to enter the Los Angeles real estate market .Now, a big project has just started, have you thought of anything?" Selina blinked her big eyes and looked at him.
Luke also laughed: "I remember, Wade Davis was doing real estate in Texas? It's still very big."
Selena gave a thumbs up: "Now that big project is developed by a newly established 3m construction company. There are two major shareholders of this 3m construction company, of which Wade Davis provides most of the funds and technology , accounting for about 32% of the shares. Wolf-Ellsworth has almost 21% of the shares, and the remaining shares are held by eight shareholders, but the highest one is about 11%.
"So, Wolf Esworth is the second shareholder of this 3m company." Luke was thoughtful.
There was a mocking look on Selena's face: "It's a pity that in recent months, this new company that was supposed to make a lot of money has already faced the crisis of bankruptcy."
Luke picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Wade Davis is a very professional real estate businessman, but he is charged with two first-degree murders and will be sent back to Texas soon. This is not a good situation."
He and Selena grew up in Texas, so he certainly knows it well.
Texas is famous for many things, and its judicial system is also the most famous in the United States. It has the number and efficiency of death sentences in the United States.
Even California retains the death penalty, but it hasn't been executed for decades.
The southern states of the United States are the areas with the most executions, much higher than the east and west coasts, and Texas is still the leader of the southern states. No matter how many protests and pressures are put on, it does not abolish the death penalty and executes one case from time to time.
Compared with judges in other states, judges in Texas are cruel and ruthless in imposing the death penalty.
Texas seems to be telling the whole of the United States: If you dare not, I dare!
The so-called Lone Star Republic is just doing its own way.
If Wade Davis was tried elsewhere, he would be sentenced to life imprisonment, or even twenty or thirty years in prison.
After a few years, once the limelight is over and he spends a lot of money, he can always find a way to return to the world of flamboyance. As long as he doesn't make a high-profile show, he can continue to live a rich life.
And once he is sent back to Texas for trial, even if it will take more than ten years from the lawsuit to the final execution, he will definitely not be able to get out in this life.
Wade Davis is the one who contributes money, people and technology to this big project. Once he is arrested, the real person in charge of this big real estate project will be gone.
The bank is not stupid, and will definitely not lend money to this project, even if it has the name of the Esworth family.
Business is business. This is an American dictum.
The Esworth family didn't start their business with real estate. They are not professional at all, and the bank won't give them any affection.
Therefore, this big project is destined to end with the new 3m construction company.
"How's the relationship between Wolf and Henry?" Luke asked.
Selena: "There is no indication that the two brothers are in apparent conflict, but their day-to-day activities are minimal."
Luke shrugged: "It seems that they are not the representatives of that kind of brotherhood."
Selena was at a loss: "Huh?"
Luke murmured in his heart: If there is a situation in the movie where the brother helps the younger brother, the younger brother helps the older brother, and the violence happens every now and then, it will be quite a headache.
Selena finally asked, "What's the situation, little baby?"
Luke thought for a while, then shook his head: "There is no progress yet, and it's useless to talk about it. I'll tell you when the truth comes out. Go to sleep."
Selena yawned, got up and went back to the room: "Okay. You go to bed early too."
Luke nodded and decided to sleep for two and a half hours today, giving himself an extra half hour off.
Early the next morning, the two had breakfast and drove to the police station.
When they arrived at the police station, Sonia greeted her: "What are the arrangements for today?"
Luke nodded: "I'll go to Elsa's first."
When Sonia heard this, she returned to her desk.
Luke and Selena entered Elsa's office and closed the door directly.
Elsa looked up from the file on the table, saw two people, and dropped the pen in her hand: "What's the matter?"
Luke cut to the chase: "Mark Owen's case involves Wolf Esworth, the younger brother of City Councilor Henry. Let me tell you."
Elsa put her hand on her forehead: "What's going on?"
She just said that she should be careful in the case of the girl in pajamas being killed, but the murder of the policeman turned out to be related to the Esworth family.
It is a big local family, and the consequences of being involved in the police murder case are not very good.
Although the rich can command the police, the police are not the lambs of the rich, and it is impossible to sit back and watch this happen.
If you dare to kill the Texas Mounted Police this time, if something happens next time, can you kill the Los Angeles Police
This kind of thing must not be said.
Elsa had heard Luke's analysis before, and knew that there was a problem with the county police, but she didn't expect to go around and get involved with the Esworth family again.
After Luke explained the situation, Elsa took a deep breath, didn't say anything immediately, but leaned back in the chair, frowning and thinking.
In this case, Wolf-Ellsworth was really suspected.
According to the data, the real estate project they developed is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and the initial capital investment has already reached tens of millions.
Although Worf mainly provides contacts, it doesn't mean that he doesn't pay a penny.
Moreover, the completion of this project is likely to last Wolf's life, and the benefits involved in the later stage are also calculated in billions.
For such a large sum of money, what is it to kill a Texas Ranger
Elsa got up: "I'll go find the boss, you wait here."
She went out for almost half an hour before coming back again.
After closing the door, she didn't even sit down and said, "Continue to investigate the case, but don't make too many moves. Just investigate Luca Barton, understand?"
Luke pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Understood."
Elsa looked at him: "Oh, you are too..." At this point, she couldn't help sighing and shaking her head, and waved for the two to go out and do something.
Back at the desk, Selena asked in a low voice, "What does this mean?"
Luke: "To give clear information to the outside world, we only check on Luca Barton. As for who gave him benefits and asked him to do it, that has nothing to do with us."
Selena frowned: "Is this possible? That Esworth is the mastermind."
