Waiting is always the most agonizing. Gao Guang really wanted to go outside and see Grant. He didn't know how Grant was doing now, whether he was still left in place or already packed in a body bag.

Gao Guang didn't want to use Grant anymore, but he never wanted to see Grant die. But now, he couldn't go and take one last look at Grant because he had to protect Renato.

Now Gao Guang just wanted Smith's people to arrive quickly, Renato's people to arrive quickly, and then he could at least take a break and go out and take a look, even if it was just a glance.

Then ten minutes passed, and a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase walked into the living room. He was tall and thin, dressed in a well-tailored light gray suit, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. After entering the living room, he walked straight to Renato.

Gao Guang moved his footsteps, and the gun in his hand was held up as he sternly said, "Sir! Please stand still and identify yourself."

Renato waved his hand and said, "He's Robert."

Robert arrived, and the first person Renato called finally came.

Robert looked at Gao Guang with surprise, frowned, and then said to Renato, "Sir, where is your bodyguard? Is the situation so bad that you have to use strangers?"

Renato whispered, "He's not a stranger. Okay, do what you need to do."

Gao Guang stepped back, and Robert pulled out a chair and sat directly opposite Renato, saying, "Sheriff, please communicate with me if you have any questions."

The sheriff just nodded, but didn't say anything. Soon, a middle-aged man with a serious face and a slightly gray beard, accompanied by several people in FBI uniforms, walked in. The person who was monitoring Renato in the ice cream truck followed closely behind with a laptop in his hand.

"I am Salvini, a special investigator from the FBI Critical Incident Response Group. You can call me Laffrentz."

Laffrentz, the highest-ranking official from the FBI present, walked up to Renato and reached out his hand.

Renato stood up and shook hands with Laffrentz, but their hands only lightly touched before separating. Then Laffrentz looked at Gao Guang and said in a deep voice, "Put away your gun."

This Laffrentz was very domineering, and Gao Guang hesitated for a moment because he really didn't know what to do in this situation. It wasn't just a matter of whether he was a rookie or not, but he had never even dared to think that one day there would be such a high-ranking person asking him to put down his gun.

Even if he had no experience, he had never seen this kind of scene even in movies. Gao Guang felt hopeless and lost.

At this moment, Gao Guang saw Mike, and then he thought of Grant. Thinking of Grant, he figured out one thing.Translation:

Whether Rafflent's status was high or low, he wasn't the one giving out money. He also didn't have the authority to arrest a diligent bodyguard or a registered professional security guard. So Gao Guang didn't put away his gun, instead he shook his head lightly and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Protecting Mr. Sanivier is my duty. Unless you order me to put on handcuffs, I won't put away my gun."

Renato's expression of admiration on his face was already hard to conceal. Even Robert looked surprised and then immediately said, "Mr. Rafflent, in today's events, Mr. Salvini was the victim. Even if you, as an FBI special envoy, request Mr. Salvini's assistance in the investigation, Mr. Salvini is still a witness. This bodyguard is carrying out his duties, and unless you can produce a search warrant or arrest warrant, you have no right to ask him to give up his weapon."

That's right, Gao Guang thought to himself.

Renato smiled and waved his hand at Gao Guang. "Don't worry. Put away your gun. Mr. Rafflent won't be in danger."

Now he couldn't act as a strong point anymore. Gao Guang immediately put away his gun.

Rafflent didn't say anything more. He looked at his subordinate holding the computer and said, "You explain the situation."

The person responsible for monitoring stepped forward and said seriously, "We checked all the recordings today. There were only nine phone calls made, three of which were made after the incident. But we couldn't record the content of these three phone calls. The earliest normal call was at 9:30 in the morning, and the latest was at 3 pm. In addition, there were wireless communications, and we recorded all the content of the calls. We didn't find any suspicious calls."

Renato frowned slightly and asked, "We don't need to investigate the three post-event calls. I made them. Are there no other suspicious calls?"

Rafflent said in a deep voice, "Let me explain. All the conversations were normal. The sources of the two helicopters have been determined. They all belong to the Hollywood Air Tour Company. At 1:12 pm, the travel company received a phone call from someone who wanted to rent two helicopters. There was no reservation, but the renter was willing to pay a high price for temporary use.

At 2:32 pm, the travel company rejected the reservation of the two helicopters due to technical problems and agreed to rent them to the tourists at a temporary high price. At 2:45 pm, six tourists arrived at the travel company. After verifying their identities and passing the security check, the two helicopters took off and headed for the fixed Hollywood route. At 3:10 pm, the two helicopters suddenly deviated from the route and landed in a parking lot not far from West Hollywood. Four minutes later, the helicopters took off again."

Robert suddenly said, "Were they hijacked and the pilots replaced?""Yes, six minutes ago, we found the four kidnapped pilots. They are still alive, but they were all tied up in a box truck in the parking lot where the helicopter landed."

"Did the air traffic control notice anything unusual about the helicopter?"

"They did, but the helicopter refused to respond to the air traffic control's call and flew directly towards Beverly Hills. The National Guard received the alarm and two F16s took off, but before they arrived, at 3:25 pm, the two helicopters had already arrived at Beverly Hills. They hovered in the air at treetop height for three minutes before suddenly flying straight towards here."

Ravrent reached back and then said seriously, "From the whole process of the incident, the attackers are extremely familiar with the air traffic control regulations and conditions in Los Angeles. They have precise control of their timing. From this, it is highly likely that there is a mole among you."

After speaking, Ravrent suddenly asked, "I want to know, when did you decide to go swimming?"

Renato spread his hands and said, "It was a last-minute decision. Graeve negotiated with me, and there was progress in the negotiations, which made me relax my guard. My daughter asked me in the morning if she could go swimming because the sun was shining. I thought it was okay for her to swim, so I agreed."

"What time did you make the arrangement?"

Renato pondered for a moment and said, "Before lunch, around 12 o'clock."

Ravrent said, "It was a last-minute decision, which means no one could have known in advance that you were going to leave the house and go swimming outdoors."

"That's right."

Ravrent thought for a moment and said, "So after you decided to go swimming, did anyone go out or contact the outside world?"

Renato shook his head and said, "That's my security chief's responsibility. I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Sam has strictly prohibited any unnecessary entry or exit and contact with the outside world in the past few days. Hmm, the armed security personnel I hired had their communication devices taken away, and they were only equipped with the walkie-talkies we provided."

Ravrent said, "Identifying the mole around you as soon as possible will help your safety. Let's go check the surveillance footage now."

Renato immediately said, "Please."

Without any nonsense or wasting time, Gao Guang followed Renato and a group of FBI agents, a total of about ten people, and rushed into the surveillance room.

There were staff in the surveillance room and twenty display screens. Renato said directly, "Where do we start playing?"

"Let's watch the footage of the attack first."

After speaking, Ravrent said to the people behind him, "Pay attention to the reactions of the outsourced security personnel. If there are any abnormal reactions, point them out in time. I suspect that the mole is among these outsourced personnel."

The people in the surveillance room immediately found the time, and then all twenty screens corresponding to the twenty cameras began playing the surveillance footage.The image was extremely clear, and Gao Guang quickly saw his own figure on several screens, but from different angles.

Gao Guang saw himself sitting on a lounge chair, saw himself standing up, and saw several bodyguards appear. Then a helicopter suddenly appeared from another direction.

Next, the battle began, and Gao Guang was able to view the entire battle from a global perspective.

For some reason, Gao Guang suddenly felt nervous when he saw Grant standing next to him. He was really worried that Grant would do something unusual.

Grant did not do anything unusual, and Gao Guang was able to see how Mike suddenly turned around, started up, and reached out his arm from a distance. Then he watched as blood spattered from Grant's body on the screen, and how Mike pushed him away.

"Huh?"

Someone suddenly whispered, and Lafland immediately said, "Stop! What's wrong? Did you find something?"

A person in a uniform opened his mouth, then he was stunned and said, "Uh, uh, he..."

Several people looked at the still image of Mike pushing Gao Guang. Lafland took a breath and said, "Continue."

The image continued to play, and then Gao Guang rushed to Sophia's side, pulled her hair, and grabbed her hair when Renato suddenly said coldly, "Huh?!"

"Stop!"

Lafland looked at Renato, then he looked at the image of Gao Guang pulling Sophia's hair, especially when he saw Gao Guang curling her hair with his hand. He immediately made a strange cough and quickly covered his mouth, coughing several times in a row.

Gao Guang found that he was being watched by everyone, even Lafland couldn't help but turn around and stare at him.

And that Robert, his eyes were about to pop out.

Gao Guang broke out in a cold sweat.

Renato suddenly said, "Continue!"

The image continued to play, and when people saw Gao Guang dragging Sophia's hair and throwing her into the water, and then being tackled by Mike from behind into the pool again, they all let out a sigh of relief.

Gao Guang felt like he had just saved his life, and these kind onlookers must have felt the same way. But he could only continue to watch the surveillance footage expressionlessly.

Finally, Gao Guang saw himself again, and saw him holding Sophia with one hand and firing a gun at the helicopter with the other. Then he felt that he shouldn't be killed by an angry father.

Until Gao Guang ran towards Renato after coming ashore, waving his hand and shouting, and then bravely guarded Renato into the house, Renato finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

After watching it, Lafland raised his chin and whispered after a moment, "Was there any unusual behavior?""From the surveillance footage, everyone behaved normally. No one had prior knowledge of the attack, so there was no evidence of evasion or delayed reaction. As for whether they were in their designated positions, that would require someone familiar with the security personnel's task allocation to determine. But based on what we've seen, at least everyone was loyal to their duties."

After speaking, a seemingly dull detective looked at Mike and said, "I'm just curious why he didn't have a weapon and didn't retaliate throughout the entire incident, but instead protected this gentleman."

Gao Guang and Mike were embarrassed, and Gao Guang quickly said, "Um, because of certain legal reasons, he is not allowed to carry a gun, so he didn't have a weapon."

"If he was a human shield, then he should have protected the young lady closest to him instead of you. Do you have a special relationship?"

The detective, who looked very dull before, now had sharp eyes and stared at Gao Guang.

Gao Guang remained calm and his gaze was firm, but he was indeed a bit embarrassed.

"I was hired to protect Mr. Saniwell, and he was hired to protect me. Um, this deceased Grant was also my employee. We all have different responsibilities."

After Gao Guang spoke, not only were the FBI stunned, but even Renato was shocked. After a moment, Lafrentz exclaimed, "Can I understand it this way, he was hired to protect you, but he's only protecting Mr. Saniwell now!"

"No, no, no, he is currently protecting Mr. Saniwell. As I said, we have different responsibilities and decide who to protect based on the situation..."

Lafrentz, who realized he was off-topic, coughed twice and said to the surveillance team, "Play the footage from noon at double speed. No, quadruple speed."

This time, they watched for a longer time. When the maid started to clean the towels, Lafrentz suddenly said to Renato, "We have a judgment now, that is, there is no mole around you. Perhaps someone discovered your plan through technical means, such as remote drone surveillance."

Renato didn't say anything, but Robert immediately said, "The towels were laid out at 2:20, but the helicopter was rented at 1:12. How do you explain that?"

Lafrentz shook his head and said, "But now, there is no sign of a mole. Although the attackers were very precise with their timing, they could also achieve this level of accuracy through technical means."Gao Guang didn't want to speak. He felt that there were FBI senior investigators, surveillance experts, police officers, and bosses here, and he didn't have the right to speak. But now, seeing that the investigation seemed to have reached a deadlock, shifting from an insider to a technical reason, he couldn't help but speak up.

So Gao Guang timidly said, "Um, sorry, can you rewind the video? I have an idea. I'm not a professional, so please don't be angry if I'm wrong. Can you please rewind the surveillance to 12:30?"

Looking at Gao Guang's hesitant appearance, Renato was quite surprised and said, "Did you find something? Go ahead and speak up after rewinding to 12:30. Say whatever you want, it's okay if you're wrong."

Lavrent frowned, looked at Gao Guang, and then nodded. "Hmm, go ahead."

---Off-topic---

That's all for today, but it exhausted me.
