"Why do you use the word out of control? Have you known each other for a long time?"

"Yes."

"How did you meet? What is your relationship?"

"He is my bodyguard and sometimes helps me with some personal matters."

Jenny said, "Didn't you publicly say that you don't have a bodyguard?"

Muriel Baldini glanced at Jenny and said, "You have to know that no matter how well you do, there will always be people in this world who don't like you.

The same goes for doing business. There are profits and losses. If you want to make money, you have to bear the corresponding risks. However, there are always people who can't figure this out. They feel that after investing money in our company, the company has an obligation to help them make money. Once they lose money, they will cause trouble.

How can I ride a bicycle to and from get off work without the secret protection of bodyguards?"

Luke asked, "Soest drives you to work every day?"

"Sometimes it's Marbury, he's also the bodyguard I hired."

Jenny was confused and asked, "There are so many bodyguards, why did you hire two people with a bad record as bodyguards?"

Muriel Baldini said, "As you said, in order to maintain an image of being close to the public, it is impossible for me to claim to the outside world that I have bodyguards.

Although Sost and Marbury have criminal records, in the final analysis they are just doing it for money. As long as I give them enough money, they will work for me with peace of mind."

Luke knew that Muriel Baldini was not telling the truth, and her purpose in choosing these two people as bodyguards was not simple.

There must be something wrong with Muriel Baldini's company, Jacobo Johnston's situation may not be an exception, and these two bodyguards should be doing his dirty work for him.

Jenny asked, "You say you like environmentally friendly transportation, but you have three luxury cars parked in your garage. You say you don't have bodyguards, but you instruct your bodyguards to hurt others.

I didn’t expect you to be such a hypocritical person, what else are you fake about?”

"Sorry to disappoint you.

I don’t want to deceive people, but many people in this world like... similar images and like to drink chicken soup.

If portraying a similar image would help my career, why not?"

Luke stared at Muriel Baldini and asked, "Ms. Baldini, I have been observing your expression and found that you have not had much emotional fluctuations from beginning to end. Can you tell me how you did it?"

"I have taken professional emotion management courses, which are the basic qualities of a successful businessman. In addition, I have also had micro-plastic surgery to make my facial lines look more friendly and make it easier for customers to like me.

If you need it, I can help you recommend it.”

"No, I don't need it." Luke understood why he couldn't see through the other person's lies. Emotional management was one aspect, but the more important thing might be plastic surgery.

After plastic surgery, the facial muscles will become stiff and uncoordinated, which will have a certain impact on the observation of micro-expressions.

"What's the problem between you and Jacob Johnston?"

"Conflicts at work."

"Describe it in detail."

"Well...the company has had some problems in its operations recently. The company's senior management and I are doing our best to deal with them. As long as we follow my plan, there will be a way to make a smooth transition and turn the crisis around.

However, Jacob Johnston had different ideas. He was very stubborn and did not know how to adapt. He stole a lot of information from the company and even threatened me to hand over this information to the media.

As long as these negative news are made public, the company may be destroyed, and I can't let that happen, so I let Soster solve it."

"Ms. Baldini, we got a document from Sost. The owner of the document is Jacobo Johnston. He has a different view of the company's situation than you do."

"Did you find the document?"

"Yes, do you want to listen to it?" Luke took out a document from the folder and read,

"This decision is very difficult for me. I don't want to do anything wrong to the company, nor do I want my colleagues to lose their jobs, but if I turn a blind eye, the interests of my customers will be damaged and my conscience will be uneasy.

The company has had some problems recently. To be precise, I have long had doubts about some of the company's practices, but the company's recent financial crisis has completely lifted the fig leaf.

I can no longer deceive myself. Not only is it a matter of professional ethics, but if I say nothing, it will make me feel like a fraud.

Yes, he is a fraudster.

I found that the company has always had the problem of misappropriating customer funds. The problem was not big at first. Later, it used the money of new customers to make up for the money of old customers. But sooner or later problems will arise if this continues.

Therefore, if the company's top management decides to make false accounts and use 'legal' means to pass the losses on to customers, some disputes may arise in a short period of time, but as long as they are willing to spend money, bribe the media, and gain the upper hand in public opinion, they will not be harmful to the company.

impact on reputation.

It's so scary, I can't believe this is the company I work for.

If I don't expose these things, I will be condemned by my conscience for the rest of my life.

Jacob Johnston."

"Lying, he is lying. The company is not at all what he said. There must be something wrong with his brain."

Luke said, "I have handed over that information to the Economic Crime Division."

Muriel Baldini closed her eyes and her cheeks twitched irregularly, "This company is my hard work. I have paid a lot for this company. I can't just watch him destroy the company..."

Luke said, "Is it because of this obsession that you decided to rob the bank?"

"No, I have said before that the bank robbery had nothing to do with me. I had no idea about it. Sost only told me about it after robbing the bank."

"Then do you know about Jacob Johnston putting the information in the bank locker?"

"have no idea."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"That's not what Sost said. According to him, after receiving your instructions, he and Marbury Carr acted together and forced him to find out the whereabouts of the information at Jacob Johnston's house. It was still in the safe.

I got the key and asked for the password to the safe.

Then, the two men took Jacob Johnston to the wild and killed him.

The FBI has already taken Sost to identify the scene. There is no way he can lie about this." Luke paused and continued, "According to Sost, after getting the key and password of the bank locker, he took it.

I told you something.

Because Marbury Carr and Jacobo Johnston have similar physical characteristics, you asked Marbury to pretend to be Jakobo Johnston with his ID and go to the bank locker to get something. After entering the vault, Marbury tried

When I open the locker, the key is real but the password prompt is wrong.

According to bank regulations, if the password is incorrect three times, the identity of the locker owner must be verified.

Marbury only tried once and quickly ran out.

The three of you discussed it and suspected that Jacob Johnston had given a false password, but Jacob Johnston had been killed by you, and you couldn't get the new password. You faced Sost

Complained a lot.

Sost suggested robbing the bank, and you agreed."

"He lied, I didn't know at all." Muriel Baldini said firmly.

Luke took out a set of photos and put them in front of Muriel Baldini, "This is the surveillance of the North Hollywood bank. The surveillance time was when Marbury pretended to be Jacob Johnston and went to the bank locker.

The date the item was picked up.

At that time, in order to obtain the information as soon as possible, you ran outside the bank and waited. This was your Maserati car. Although you did not get out of the car, the camera still captured you sitting in the cab, which shows that you knew that the information was hidden in

The bank also knew about Sost and his gang's actions in robbing the bank.

You lied."

Muriel Baldini sighed, "I regret it. I should have called a lawyer."

"If you really regret it, you shouldn't do anything illegal or criminal."

"Sometimes when you are in a certain position, you have to do it even if you don't want to do it."

"Tell me about the night you were 'kidnapped'."

"I do not want to say."

"Then let's talk about the FBI agent being killed in a bomb."

"This matter has nothing to do with me, don't try to blame it on me again."

"Then let's talk about your 'kidnapping'."

"Huh..." Muriel Baldini sighed, "Things got big after Sost and the others robbed the bank.

At first, I didn't dare to contact them rashly.

Later, they said they wanted to go out for a while and wanted to meet me before going.

I agreed and prepared some cash for them.

After meeting, I asked him about the information and he said that it had been destroyed.

Before I had time to be happy, you also tracked the past and things got out of control.

The three of us put it together and decided that I would drive them out, and you all know what happened next."

Jenny said, "Ms. Baldini, I didn't expect you to associate with someone like Souster."

Muriel Baldini smiled and said, "Officer Jenny, I am not as good as you think, and Sost is not as bad as you think.
