"It's amazing, you also opened this restaurant."
Sir Zhang naturally would not dampen the other party's enthusiasm.
For criminals to take the right path, this is what many law enforcement officers are most proud of.
“Yes, after I came to America, I decided to abandon my previous life. Later, by chance, I bought this restaurant. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long.”
When Ajian talked about his life, he couldn't help but have a look of confidence on his face. Unfortunately, this look didn't last long before it turned into a sigh.
"Because of those gang members just now?"
Zhang Pin looked at each other in surprise.
With Xiaozhuang's original skills, it was not easy to kill those people.
"I also discovered that life is not just about fighting and killing. There are people behind these gangsters. As long as your shop wants to continue to open, you must pay this money."
Ajian obviously understood the meaning in Zhang Pin’s eyes.
Although he yearns for a bright life, he is not a pedantic person.
He had done this as early as the first time the gangster came to the door.
Unfortunately, although he destroyed several American gangsters with thunderous means.
But the ecological niche is here. After the previous gangs were destroyed, new gangs quickly took their place.
Then they continue to come to collect protection money.
Unless Xiaozhuang exposes his identity openly, no matter how the gang changes, they will come to collect protection fees.
On the other hand, Xiaozhuang himself has actually been noticed by some people because he moves his hands too frequently.
He used to be just a killer and didn't know how to deal with people who collected protection money.
If Zhang Pin hadn't appeared today, Xiaozhuang would have been ready to hack a few gangsters to death on the spot, and then kill the gang bosses himself.
“Since the hotel can’t open anymore, why not come and do something for me, and I’ll pay you a salary.”
Zhang Pin never thought that he would meet Xiaozhuang in America by such a coincidence.
The two are considered acquaintances, and he recognizes Xiaozhuang's abilities.
So after thinking about it, he decided to find a helper for himself.
"Sir Zhang, are you coming to America to handle a case?"
Xiaozhuang was a little embarrassed when he heard Zhang Pin's invitation.
Zhang Pin has a basic understanding of Xiaozhuang, but Xiaozhuang actually doesn't know Zhang Pin very well.
Obviously one of them is a killer and the other is a policeman, but now it seems that Zhang Pin wants to help.
Xiaozhuang didn’t know what he could do to help the other party.
"This is my current identity. If you help me handle this matter, I can guarantee that no one will dare to come to your restaurant to collect protection money in the future."
Zhang Pin looked around, and when he was sure that there was no third person, he took out the consultant's identity certificate given to him by the Investigation Bureau.
Xiaozhuang was stunned when he saw what Zhang Pin laid out and heard his words.
“How is it?”
Zhang Pin did not give Xiaozhuang much time to think.
In fact, whether or not Xiaozhuang is involved in this case has little impact, but it just happened to happen now.
And if he doesn't help the other party, Xiaozhuang, who yearns for the sunshine, may have to follow the same old path again.
It was also he who asked the other party to help him.
"Thank you, Sir Zhang."
Obviously Xiaozhuang also knew that since Zhang Pin had connections with the Investigation Bureau, he would not be able to help much.
But he really doesn’t know how to deal with some gangsters, and he can’t bear to part with this restaurant.
"Very good, but the title needs to be changed. You can call me boss or boss. My current identity is not a policeman, but an Asian who has just arrived in America."
Zhang Pin was naturally not surprised when he heard that Xiaozhuang agreed.
Then he told the other party some things.
"By the way, the most urgent thing is, you need to find a place for me to live first."
Because Zhang Pin wants to infiltrate the Dominic gang and find out whether they have stolen the copper head, so naturally he can't Went back to the consulate again.
Originally, he was going to sleep in a hotel that did not require identification. Now that he had met Xiaozhuang, he might as well let him find a solution.
"I rent an apartment not far away. If you don't mind, come over to my place."
Xiaozhuang didn't pay much attention to Zhang Pin's arrangement of his own accommodation.
"Wait for me, I'll take care of the hotel's affairs first and close the business for the next few days."
Finally, he hurriedly started to handle the hotel's affairs.
Ajian summoned several hotel staff, and then took out the turnover of the past few days. After giving all the money to a few people, he asked them to take a break or find other jobs. .
"You are very kind."
Seeing Ajian give all the money to others, Zhang Pin gave him a high look.
“It’s not easy for everyone, so help if you can.”
Ajian is obviously not a person who values money very seriously.
“The apartment I live in is not of a high quality, but there are still no problems with safety.”
While walking on the road, Xiaozhuang was still worried that Zhang Pin wouldn't be able to live in the apartment he rented.
“It doesn’t matter, I can live anywhere.”
Sir Zhang doesn’t care much about where he lives.
After entering the villa, there is a circular old-fashioned staircase.
The two of them walked all the way up, and they stood there almost at the same time, because there was a little girl sitting on the fence a little above them.
"Hey!"
The little girl took the initiative to say hello to Xiaozhuang.
"Matilda. Are you smoking again?"
Xiaozhuang frowned and then asked the girl.
“This is also a resident of the apartment with an unreliable father.”
The next sentence is explained to Zhang Pin.
What he didn’t say was that because he opened his own restaurant, he saw that the little girl Matilda was often abused by her father, so he would occasionally bring her some food.
That's why the relationship between the two is pretty good.
"Is this your friend? This is the first time I've seen you bring a friend back."
The little girl Matilda seems quite talkative.
"What's wrong with your face?"
Xiaozhuang did not answer Matilda's question, but instead noticed the wound on the other person's forehead.
“.I accidentally fell it.”
Matilda was silent for a moment before answering this question.
Xiaozhuang frowned. He was not stupid. He could naturally see that this position was not a fall at all, but it looked like he had been beaten.
Click——
At this moment, the door of the room above was opened, and there was a burst of noise inside.
“Why are you doing this!”
“I don’t know what you are talking about!”
“A lot of things have happened in the past few days, people from the Investigation Bureau I don't know what I'm checking all day long, so we have to get rid of the things as soon as possible. But now the problem comes. When we gave you the things a month ago, the purity of these goods was still 100%.
Now when we were taking the goods away, they turned into a batch of goods with a purity of 90%.
During this period, ten percent of the goods were stolen. "
A guy in a black leather jacket was reasoning with a short, fat bearded man.
"I don't know, it's none of my business, I'm just a client , you give me the things, and I will take care of them.
During this period, I didn't even touch your box, let alone I don't know how to dilute this kind of stuff.
Maybe it was the kid you left here to look after things.
No wonder he was so mysterious a few days ago, and then suddenly left quietly. "
The short, fat bearded man also looked aggrieved at this time.
"Hey, listen up, I'm trying to help you now, but if you insist and refuse To be honest, then I have no choice but to trouble him. ”
The man in the leather jacket spread his hands and pointed at the back of a figure on the edge of the corridor.
The guy had a oily hair and wore headphones. He seemed to be very engaged in listening to the music and turned a deaf ear to the quarrel here.
“He can smell out whether a person is lying just by relying on his sense of taste. This is a terrifying ability, just like the legendary sixth sense.”
“ What's more important is that he has always been very cruel to those who lie. You don't want to encounter this kind of thing yourself."
"Now, do you decide to say something, or have you already done it. I’m ready to fall out with him.”
When the bearded man heard what Leather Jacket said, he hesitated for a few seconds.
But in the end he shook his head: "What I told is the truth, I don't know anything."
Seeing this, Leather Jacket could only shake his head helplessly, The look in the bearded man's eyes couldn't help but bring out a bit of pity.
He walked towards the man who was listening to music with his back to the two of them, and then approached him cautiously.
“Stan, you should have heard that this guy refuses to admit that he took our goods.”
After hearing Leather Jacket's words, the man named Stan took off his Walkman. Then he turned his head and gave a fierce look that immediately made the bearded man sweat.
Then Stan did not speak, but walked up to the bearded man, then leaned against his body and sniffed continuously.
Seeing Stan's actions, cold sweat broke out not only on the bearded man's back, but also on his entire body.
Seeing the bearded man's reaction, there was actually no need to ask questions or use any super powers of smell. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this guy had a guilty conscience.
So Stan, who had a fierce look in his eyes, suddenly touched his waist with his palm.
Bang——
Bang——
At this moment, Xiaozhuang and Zhang Pin walked to the corridor on this floor one after the other.
It was a coincidence that the room Xiaozhuang lived in happened to be on the same floor as the room where the bearded man was.
Seeing the appearance of outsiders, Stan's originally fierce eyes suddenly became restrained.
"You said you didn't steal it, then of course you didn't steal it. We are all friends, so of course I will believe you."
Stan suddenly raised his palm and hugged the bearded man.
“Hello, my name is Stan Fei. Since we are friends, I would like you to do me a favor. Find the guy who stole my goods and call me to tell me. Remember, you must Before twelve noon tomorrow."
Stan said and helped the bearded man tidy up his clothes, then passed by Zhang Pin and others and walked down the stairs.
“Huhuhu——”
After Stan and the wallet man left, the bearded man couldn't help but take a few steps back, leaned his back against the wall and breathed.
“I was a little uncomfortable when I first came here, but later I discovered that even the painkillers prescribed by certified doctors are addictive, so I gradually got used to it.”
One side Let's go, Xiaozhuang also explained to Zhang Pin.
He remembered that Sir Zhang had always been sworn in against drug gambling, so he was actually a little worried that the other party would not understand the situation here.
“Don’t worry, I have always respected the fate of others and will not do anything to change my destiny.”
Zhang Pin is very open-minded about this. This is America, not Hong Kong Island.
Even in Hong Kong Island, he only tried his best to protect ordinary people. Like some self-degenerate guys, he would not meddle in other people's business.
"Hey, Jian, can I ask you a question?"
Just when the two were about to enter the room, Matilda, who was sitting on the fence, called out to Xiaozhuang. .
“Say it.”
Xiaozhuang is very patient with the little girl.
"Do you think life is always so hard, or is it just because I am a child."
Matilda stroked her injured forehead and glanced at her back The father, who was leaning against the wall and sweating profusely, lowered his head and asked this question.
Hearing her words, Xiaozhuang was silent for a while.
“It’s always like this.”
Sir Zhang bluntly broke the little girl's fantasy.
"You'd better hand over your things early, or run away with your family. I don't think that guy is a good person."
But when he saw Matilda was so precocious, It was really pitiful, so the last words were said to the bearded man.
“You don’t have to worry about my family’s affairs!”
But Sir Zhang’s kindness was obviously put to the wrong place.
After hearing his words, the bearded man not only showed no gratitude, but actually responded to him coldly.
Sir Zhang naturally did not continue to persuade.
Some people want to seek death themselves, and they cannot be brought back.
“You mean, you want to investigate a case of stealing the twelve zodiac bronze heads?”
The two entered the room, and Zhang Pin probably told Xiaozhuang about his own case.
Who knows, after listening to his story, Xiaozhuang's expression turned strange.
"Looking at you like this, do you know any clues?"
Zhang Pin is also a human being, so he naturally guessed the reason for Xiaozhuang's expression at once.
"Well, it's a coincidence. Let me take you to see a friend."
Xiaozhuang is also very calm. Although one of them is a policeman and the other was a killer, But now we meet in a foreign country, and because of a small thing, we have become close friends.
Because of this, when Xiaozhuang heard Zhang Pin's words, he took him out without saying a word.
After the two got in the car, they quickly arrived at a very remote community after twists and turns.
Dong dong dong——
The two went around to the back of an alley. Xiaozhuang walked to a small room with pink lights and knocked on the door.
“Who?”
A vigilant voice soon came from inside.
"Doctor Howard, it's me."
Xiaozhuang also spoke softly, and when he heard his voice, there were sounds of opening the door immediately.
Zhang Pin did not expect that this was actually a private clinic.
What Zhang Pin didn't expect was that there was still a patient lying in the clinic at this time.
"Is this your brother?"
Looking at the face similar to Xiaozhuang's on the hospital bed, Zhang Pin was speechless for a moment.
