CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 392: POLICE-CITIZEN COLLABORATION

The next morning, Mountain Eagle got up early and took Balang out for a morning exercise. Upon returning, they saw several police cars parked at the hotel entrance.

The butler, Celek, of the presidential suite was arguing heatedly with a few local police officers in sheriff uniforms right at the main entrance of the hotel.

Several photographers with cameras surrounded the area, constantly taking pictures...

Mountain Eagle, on the outer edge, put on sunglasses and then adjusted his cap slightly lower before walking towards the hotel.

"If you don’t have a search warrant, I won’t allow you to harass the hotel guests..."

As Mountain Eagle approached, he heard Celek’s words and glanced at the local police officers in sheriff uniforms. Just as he was about to bypass them, a chubby white police officer noticed him and suddenly blocked his path...

"Hey, you have no right to do this..."

In the midst of Celek’s angry yelling, the chubby police officer looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "Sir, can we have a word?"

Mountain Eagle glanced at Celek’s displeased expressions, hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand invitingly, "I was just about to have breakfast in the restaurant...

If you’re willing to wait a while, I can go up and change my clothes first, and then invite you for a coffee!"

Seeing Mountain Eagle making the invitation, butler Celek moved closer and whispered to him, "Sir, it’s not necessary, any issues can be handled by our lawyer..."

Mountain Eagle looked at Celek, suddenly feeling that the daily room charge of 25,000 was worth every penny!

It’s natural for hotels to protect their guests, especially when the guests are victims.

However, most hotels Mountain Eagle had encountered, including hotel managers, wouldn’t go as far as Celek did to protect guest interests.

Mountain Eagle really appreciated Celek’s attitude; he patted Celek on the arm and nodded with a smile, "Thank you. I really do need a lawyer right now, after all, I’m here to enjoy myself..."

Turning towards the chubby police officer, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "Officer, I don’t want to use a lawyer to deter you. I’m willing to chat.

However, I ask you to understand that what I’m doing is trying to simplify matters, not complicate them."

The poise exhibited by Mountain Eagle left the chubby police officer slightly baffled. He looked at this elite-looking Chinese descendant youth, hesitated a moment, then nodded, "One of the three suspects from yesterday’s hotel homicide died en route to the hospital.

The specific cause of death awaits the autopsy report, but before it comes out, we need to perform a routine inquiry."

With that, the chubby police officer glanced at the wary Celek, his gaze shifting slightly, then said, "I’ve heard the coffee here is good. We could chat at the hotel’s café."

Mountain Eagle, frowning, sized up the chubby police officer again...

If someone really had died, it’s reasonable for the police to seek help with the investigation, but this chubby police officer seemed a bit hesitant...

This had something to do with the hotel’s support, but Mountain Eagle felt there was something else he didn’t understand.

Mountain Eagle had no regrets about last night’s actions; in fact, he doubted the cause of that man’s death, because he hadn’t fully exerted effort yesterday...

Seeing the chubby police officer’s slightly uneasy expression under his scrutiny, Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, saying, "Please wait for 20 minutes, I’ll be down soon..."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle took Balang and entered the hotel, taking the elevator up to the presidential suite...

Upon entering the suite, a bag appeared in his hand.

Daria, who had been analyzing data from several major travel companies since early morning, stood up from the sofa, lazily stretched her body showing off a lovely curve to her boss, and said with a smile, "Boss, my workload is a bit too much, you should let Butcher help too..."

Mountain Eagle, hearing this, laughed and pulled out a Glock 40 with a 10mm caliber from the bag and tossed it to Butcher, instantly invigorating this somewhat dispirited guy.

Seeing Butcher instantly spirited, Mountain Eagle smiled and handed a Ruger Silent Pistol to Daria...

Seeing Daria suddenly turn serious, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "Hide the gun well, we might have trouble.

In a while, I’ll go meet with the local police, and then we’ll go out to make some purchases..."

Butcher swiftly pulled the slide of the Glock 40 several times, then chambered a magazine, and said in a deep voice, "Is someone targeting us?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head, "I’m not sure, that’s why we need to be prepared..."

The completely unfamiliar environment and his sense of responsibility towards his boss made Butcher feel a bit anxious...

He tucked the handgun behind his waist, saying, "Boss, once we leave the city, we’ll need more firepower..."

Mountain Eagle nodded with a smile, "Don’t worry, we will have it...

As long as we find the right Guiding Hunting Company, we can legally acquire reliable weapons, and if that’s not enough, I can think of other ways."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle walked towards the bathroom, adding, "Get ready, and we’ll go down for breakfast together in a while."

minutes later, the trio and one dog arrived at the hotel’s second-floor restaurant via the elevator...

Mountain Eagle handed Balang to the already waiting butler Celek at the restaurant entrance, then entered the restaurant with Daria and Butcher.

From afar, they saw the chubby police officer sitting at an outer table on the restaurant terrace, Mountain Eagle signaled to Daria and Butcher regarding the terrace location, then walked directly to the chubby police officer and sat down...
