Chapter 640 Arrest

Three days later.

Otway Films.

In the early morning, the employees came earlier than usual to prepare for the documentary launch ceremony.

A temporary podium was set up downstairs in the film company. It was covered with a red carpet and decorated with bouquets of flowers. A poster of the Kofi Group was erected next to it.

Otway Stone wore a black suit and strode onto the podium. He looked around and looked at everything around him with critical eyes.

"Where did this red carpet come from? Why is it so old?"

"These flowers are too single in color. Let's get some flowers with different colors."

"Where's the microphone? Where's the microphone? Is there a sound check?

All procedures must be prepared. As soon as Mrs. Grace Coffey arrives, the power-on ceremony will begin immediately." Otway Stone pointed not far away, "Are the reporters here? I will call them all to the east in a moment.

, don't run around.

Where is Jessica? Why didn't I see her?

What? She took leave today.

Fuck! Does she still want to do it?

Tell her not to come again."

A white man about thirty years old ran over and said, "Director, Mrs. Coffey is here."

Otway Stone clapped his hands and said, "Everyone cheer up and check it one last time.

Let the guests and reporters attending the opening ceremony enter.

I'll go greet Mrs. Coffey."

Otway Stone walked toward the door, and only halfway there, he saw a fashionably dressed white woman walking in surrounded by people.

Otway Stone hurried up to greet us and said with a smile, "Mrs. Coffey, I'm glad you can attend today's opening ceremony."

"Of course I have to come to the opening ceremony of the Coffey family documentary." Mrs. Coffey looked around, "When will the opening ceremony start?"

"It will be ready soon. I will take you to the lounge to sit for a while."

"No need, get ready as soon as possible.

I have a very tight schedule today, and I will attend the board meeting of Coffey Group later."

"I'll urge you again." After Otway Stone said that, he left in a hurry, and his shouts rang out in the yard again.

A few minutes later, reporters and guests attending the power-on ceremony entered the venue, and the power-on ceremony officially began.

Otway Stone walked up to the podium, took the microphone and said, "Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the opening ceremony of the Coffey family documentary.

This is an exciting moment worth recording, and it will be a great documentary that has a chance to hit the Oscars..."

Otway Stone used exaggerated language to exaggerate, and then pointed to Mrs. Coffey in the audience, "Now let us invite Ms. Grace Coffey from the Coffey Group to come on stage."

Otway Stone walked to the podium himself and invited Mrs. Coffey to the podium.

Mrs. Coffey took the microphone and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Director Otway Stone.

I would also like to thank everyone for coming to the opening ceremony of the Coffey family documentary. On behalf of the Coffey family, I would like to thank you all." Mrs. Coffey showed a hint of sadness, with red eyes, "I think everyone has heard about my husband.

I am very sad and miss him...

The reason why I asked director Otway Stone to personally shoot this documentary is to commemorate my husband..."

Mrs. Coffey's touching speech attracted the attention of the guests in the audience.

This time, there was an old black man in a wheelchair in the west corner of the audience. His left hand was curled up unnaturally, and his right hand controlled the electric wheelchair as he slowly approached the podium.

Perhaps out of sympathy, people around him gave way to him.

When the wheelchair reached the front row of the podium, the old black man stood up, took out a black pistol from his waist, pointed it at Mrs. Coffey during the ring competition, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" a gunshot sounded, and the entire startup ceremony was in chaos.

"ah……"

"There's a gunman!"

"Protect Mrs. Coffey."

"help me."

"Get down!"

"lapd!"

The moment the old black man stood up to shoot, Xiao Hei rushed over from behind, grabbed his arm, and lifted it up.

The bullet flew over Mrs. Coffey's head, causing Mrs. Coffey to scream and tremble on the ground.

The old black man was also subdued by the police officers who rushed towards him from all sides.

"lapd, don't move."

"You're under arrest!"

Later, Luke also walked up to the podium, picked up the microphone from the ground, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please don't panic. We have caught the gunman and everyone is safe.

Everyone, please stop running around and either stay where you are or leave here in an orderly manner.

The more panicked you are, the easier it is for you to get hurt.

I repeat, we have caught the gunman and the place is safe."

Luke's comfort worked. The panicked crowd stopped and looked at the podium in unison. Several reporters quickly recognized Luke and knew that he was a famous police detective in Los Angeles. Instead of running away, they took

Cameras and photographic equipment were pointed at him.

More police officers arrived at the scene, the situation was completely brought under control, and the old black man was also escorted into a police car.

Luke walked up to Mrs. Coffey and said, "Ma'am, I hope the gunfire just now didn't scare you."

"Oh my god, although I don't want to admit it, I was really shocked, but now that I think about it, it's quite exciting.

Thank you, Captain Li, for saving me." Mrs. Coffey looked grateful.

Luke said, "I will help you convey my thanks."

Mrs. Coffey asked, "Captain Li, why are you here? Did you already know that someone wanted to kill me?"

"No, when we were investigating the murder of your husband, we found a suspect.

I speculated that he might sabotage the startup ceremony, but I didn't expect that his target was you." Even if Luke expected it, he would not admit it.

"You mean to say that the old black man who shot me just now is the murderer of my husband."

"I wasn't sure before, but now it seems that it should be him."

"Why did he kill my husband? And why did he kill me? I didn't even know him."

Luke pondered for a moment, "Strictly speaking, you and your husband have not offended him, but he has some grudges with your husband's father.

He thinks your husband's father killed his sister."

"Oh my god, is he crazy?

My husband's father has been dead for almost 40 years, how could the grudge last so long?

Damn it, what does this have to do with me.

When my husband's father died, I wasn't even married into the Coffey family.

Why would he want to take revenge on me as well?"

"Because he feels that you and your husband are accomplices in slandering and vilifying his sister."

"I'm even more confused." Mrs. Coffey shook her head and said with lingering fear, "The scene just now scared me. I don't want anything like this to happen again. Can you tell me where I offended him?"

"Okay, but before that, I have a little problem."

"go ahead."

"Why did Dido Bruns, the president of Coffey Tours, suddenly go to New York?"

"I don't know either, I just took over the Kofi Group and many things have not been sorted out yet.

But, I think it’s because of work.”

"I thought he was avoiding police questioning."

Mrs. Coffey's eyes flickered and she lowered her head, "I don't understand what you mean."

Luke continued to persuade, "We have caught the murderer of your husband, there is no need for you to hide it anymore."

Mrs. Coffey still didn't respond.

Luke continued, "Buddy Crook's business trip ended early, and he happened to stumble upon your husband and his wife's affair when he came home.

However, he did not break into the house, but gave the room to them and went to the hotel himself."
