Chapter 343 You Don't Know What You Are Doing
"Hey! What a joke, we are from tenoin entertainment and Miramax Film Company, here we will discuss the cooperation contracts for distribution and endorsement promotion with the producers of "First Blood"! Is this how your Vancouver police welcome investors who support your film industry?"
Faced with the raids from the Royal Mounted Police and CBSA, the first person to stand up to challenge and maintain order was Gu Aoxin's younger brother, the boss of Miramax Films, and Harvey Weinstein.
It was because of Gu Ao's mediation that he helped him win the US distribution rights of "The First Blood", so why didn't he stand up for the boss's affairs? Besides, this was part of the publicity plan he thought about.
(Note: The local distribution rights of "The First Blood" in history were obtained by Columbia Pictures, and many film manufacturers divided the overseas distribution rights, among which most other countries in the Americas were obtained by Universal Pictures' subsidiaries in various countries.
Miramax was still relatively weak in 1982. Before Gu Ao's "Terminator", the most famous movie released was "Apocalypse Modern" starring Malone Brando)
Seeing a fat man with a "American publisher" show, he showed up with a slutty and cowardly appearance, the two local branch leaders certainly were not rude.
Vancouver has always been committed to benchmarking Hollywood and developing the film industry. Any visitor to Los Angeles is very important. If you can not offend, you will not offend. So today, they also waited for the producer to leave and only those who were negotiating with the producers, and then came out to block the film.
I really heard that Gu Ao is here and it is hard to break his life. I am very urgent to question some things from Gu Ao.
So, just a little symbolic and polite, Sheriff Lagrangian changed the subject: "Mr. Weinstein, we have no intention of being rude to noble filmmakers. We are not targeting you today. But, IMHO, this yacht looks worth less than ten million dollars. Is Miramax Company so much?"
Harvey was secretly happy, but pretended to be nervous on the surface: "Whose yacht belongs to today's affairs! What do you want to do!"
As he said that, he asked the followers beside him to lift the camera.
Everyone is a movie. They are used to taking the camera to take pictures at the signing ceremony. When they go back to edit some behind-the-scenes, they can be reviewed as a review of the company's development history in the future. Therefore, the appearance of props like cameras is not abrupt at all.
"We have secret missions, no shooting is allowed! Don't hurt people, control them!" Sheriff Lagrang did not want to leave any evidence of violent law enforcement, and quickly scolded him in anger.
"Stop on the boat! Just catch illegal immigrants and unpopular people, and slowly destroy the evidence of law enforcement!" Sheriff Laplace, who was on the other side of the RCMP, also made a quick decision and launched an attack.
In today's case, as long as the police have enough people to control the scene, finally search the other party's photography and evidence collection equipment and catch the suspect, then everything is easy to say.
In 1982, there was no DNA identification, and many traces of fighting cannot be identified, and there is no digital camera. Except for the use of micro-photo film equipment for spies, it is difficult to use other secret photos.
Therefore, North American police want to enforce the law violently, and as long as the injury is not detected, they will do whatever they want.
Harvey and others were immediately separated by reasonable body collisions, and then watched Sheriff Laplace lead people to rush onto the boat along the pedal.
"This yacht is a registered American ship in Seattle! You are invading US territory and performing tasks illegally! It is also an illegal invasion of private territory!"
At this moment, a figure turned out from the cabin of the yacht. It was Mr. Schulhof, the president of Tiankun Entertainment (USA), and he warned him.
Several Royal Mounted Police were suffocated when they heard this. Sheriff Laplace, who was leading the charge, responded a little slower. Before he could pass through his brain, his physical inertia was still rushing towards the ship.
Unexpectedly, the guns of these despicable foreigners suddenly rang.
"Bang~Bang~" A white bodyguard on the ship spontaneously shot the owner of the household without receiving the boss' order to prevent the RCMP from rushing onto the ship.
Sheriff Laplace had just stepped onto the deck, but was caught off guard by a bullet piercing his thigh and staggered back. Just the moment before he fell off the boat, he was originally aroused by the fierceness and wanted to shoot back, but the other party's second bullet shattered his right palm.
He wailed and blew and fell off the ship's side.
"Soul is calm! He actually shot and arrested, fight back, fight back!" The Royal Mounted Police fired reflexively, and they didn't dare to kill anyone, so they just greeted the gunman's thighs. The distance between the two sides was only more than ten meters, so there was still a certain point.
During the hasty and restrained gunfight, people on both sides fell down screaming, and then Mr. Schulhof on the ship ordered his bodyguard to surrender and stop resisting.
"Stop! Stop resisting! We American people are peace-loving. Although according to American laws, you have no law enforcement power to trek into private territory and are American territory, and my bodyguards have the right to kill you in self-defense, but I don't want to do this!"
After Schulhof called out, the white bodyguard who first shot and then was injured by Laplace's men chose to abandon the gun and surrender.
Laplace, who was shot twice, was rushed to the ashore by his subordinates and was seriously injured and unconscious. The Royal Mounted Police at the scene had no other high enough person to take over the command, so the line of fire was handed over to CBSA's Director Lagrangian.
Lagrangies felt his scalp numb.
Things are getting big.
Could it be that the intelligence work at the beginning was not thoroughly investigated?
But the arrow has been drawn and no turning back. People are injured. If no suspects are found, the impact will be even worse.
"Since they surrender, search!"
A total of seven or eight RCMPs and CBSA's capable police officers got on the boat and looked at all the places where people could hide were.
Finally, I found that there was no one I was looking for.
There were four Chinese men on the boat, but none of them had been off the boat, and they were bodyguards who entered the United States with visas according to law.
There is also a Chinese woman who is Gu Ao's mistress companion as the informant mentioned, but they don't know the more detailed identity.
Moreover, I found Gu Ao's dress and wore it, which was exactly what the witnesses said they had seen today.
Sheriff Lagrangie was furious and questioned Ye Wan, who was still sitting on the sofa on the roof of the yacht: "Miss, where are the people wearing this outfits? Why are there only clothes left? Don't expect to jump into the river while the chaos is in the chaos to escape!"
In fact, it is impossible to jump into the river and escape while they are in chaos, because before they rush into the field, they have already set up search teams to intercept them upstream and downstream.
"I don't know what you are talking about, Sheriff, I think you made the biggest mistake in your career in your life." Ye Wan's tone was cold, as if she was talking to a dead person.
"Someone saw him appear!" Lagrang was furious.
Ye Wan: "That's just to boost morale. As one of the shareholders and executives of Tiankun Entertainment and the project leader, pretending to show off your face is to give confidence to the partners. Isn't this illegal?"
It was so badly turned against me!
Lagrangian's blood rushed into his head.
But how could that person be so alert? It was as if he had a premonition that someone would come to arrest him, then condemn him and interrogate him about his illegal entry?
LagrangĂ felt that the temporary top priority was to search for whether there were any cameras hiding on the ship for evidence collection. As long as you were not caught with video evidence, you would always have the opportunity to make a big deal of things.
However, after a few seconds he was desperate again.
Ye Wan: "Sir Sheriff, you said that the wither order you received today is to investigate illegal immigration. Why do you check my personal belongings? You don't think that you can hide a living person in your handbag and makeup box! Not to mention, this ship is American territory, and you have no law enforcement powers."
Lagrang was stunned and said arrogantly: "Let's talk about the truth later."
"Then I have to regret to tell you that I am a diplomat in the United States and a second-class secretary of the Embassy in the United States. Today, I was invited by a friend from a business community, Mr. Schulhof to watch the ceremony.
If you dare to move my things again, it will not only be crossing the border and enforcing the law, but crossing the border into the United States and harming the envoys who enjoy diplomatic immunity in the United States."
Ye Wan's tone could already drip the ice cone. As she said that, she also took out several copies of the property certificate.
It is clearly printed on it that the "Calolla Cold Beauty" is a yacht registered in Seattle and the owner is an American citizen Schulhof.
At the same time, Ye Wan also helped them arrange the international treaties they found and told them clearly that according to the Supplementary Treaty of Border Management between the United States and Canada, any American yacht registered in a border city can sail and stay in the waters of nearby Canadian border cities without approval.
Of course, the specific scope can be used and which scope cannot be used, the treaty between the United States and Canada is clearly stipulated.
But Seattle's ships can definitely come to Vancouver and all suburbs, all of the suburbs, and all over the middle Fraser River.
Just like in Watch Dogs, Aiden Pierce drove a speedboat to St. Mary's Sue at the mouth of Lake Michigan. In peacetime, Detroit's boats would not be shot like in Detroit's turn.
"Is the ship owner really President Shulhoff? Not a Chinese?"
"This woman really has diplomatic immunity?"
The Canadians on the ship were completely stunned.
This can no longer be done alone. If you continue to do it, even if the matter is settled in the end, the entire Vancouver RCMP and CBSA will be beaten from top to bottom.
That is a border city cruise ship registered by American citizens, that is, 100% without legal flaws, infringes on foreign envoys to the United States who enjoy diplomatic immunity in the United States!
Lagrangian was ashamed and could only stop the loss first.
First, he quietly asked his subordinates to remove all the conspicuous and controlled camera rolls and expose them to destroy them.
Then he defended in an official voice: "Then we must at least take away the violent person who is suspected of a bodyguard. He has no diplomatic immunity and is suspected of shooting, which is a serious criminal offense. This is not an immigration dispute or unpopular issue. Criminal crimes apply to the jurisdiction of protection."
From this point of view, as a policeman, Sheriff Lagrangian is quite proficient in applying the jurisdiction of criminal law, and you know how to deal with it in foreign affairs.
Unfortunately, I am not skilled enough in other diplomatic business, otherwise I would not have been able to get to this point because of such a slight inadequate evidence.
Ye Wan also studied the law, so she did not resist. She just said humanitarianly: "He was spontaneous in self-defense and has surrendered by the employer's explicit order. There is no danger. You can take it away, but you must ensure that he is treated. We will send lawyers to protect his legitimate rights and interests."
She knew that Lagrangie simply wanted to interrogate the bodyguard, let him sell his employer, and put out a confession like "I was ordered to resist" to alleviate the RCMP's mistake this time and he was destined to be disappointed because he could not ask anything, and no one had explicitly instructed him.
In fact, even if the employer instructs him to resist, it is correct, and the employer will not go to jail. American law originally stipulates that if you break into private homes and other private territories, you can shoot and fight back after warning.
