Chapter 1397: Evil always arises on the edge of courage
"Thomson's Flower Shop, right here."
Zhang Pin sat in the car and looked at Dora in the passenger seat.
"Yes, what should we do now, should we stay here first?"
Dora's mood has not calmed down yet, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
Seeing that the problem that has been bothering her for a long time is about to be solved, Dora's excitement is understandable.
At this moment, she saw that Zhang Pin appeared at the scene with only herself, so Dora naturally felt that this must be Zhang Pin preparing to investigate nearby first, and he would not do anything until Thomson's criminal evidence was caught. Call for support.
"What kind of guy is he worth staying at?"
Zhang Pin was dissatisfied with Dora's caution.
He opened the car door directly and walked directly to Thomson's Flower Shop.
At this moment, at the door of the flower shop, a strong man who looked silly and an old man with a sinister face like a skinny monkey were loading vases onto a transport truck.
"Hey, from the Bureau of Investigation, raise your hands, I suspect someone here is selling white noodles."
Zhang Pin approached the two of them and put his hands on his waist.
After hearing his words, the two people who were busy at the door of the flower shop immediately had different reactions.
The silly-looking guy immediately turned around and ran towards the flower shop, without even listening to the shouts of the other old man with a treacherous look on his face.
"Sir, is there any misunderstanding? We are a serious flower shop here."
The old man failed to call the strong man, and now he looked at Zhang Pin with a smile on his face, as if he was ready to explain to him.
"I'm very familiar with Captain Dyson of the LAPD. Why don't you go have a cup of tea with me and I'll explain it to you."
The old man is none other than the owner of the flower shop, Thomson, the boss behind Doug and others.
On the surface, Thomson runs a flower shop, but secretly he maintains a group of thugs who have been robbing banks and selling stolen goods for many years.
After so many years, of course not everything he did was perfect.
In fact, Thomson had already been targeted by the police as part of the sale of stolen goods.
The reason why he was able to stay safe and sound was not only because he kept everything clean, but also because of his old-fashioned but always indispensable backer.
This guy opened a flower shop here, so he was actually a bit of a landlocked guy.
Regardless of the fact that Thomson took away a large portion of the profits from Doug and others every time, in fact, he did not take this part of the profits alone, but just as Doug and others paid tribute to him, he would also give it to him. A large part is given to people higher up.
These people received money, and since he was careful in his work and did not expose any obvious flaws, he naturally turned a blind eye.
Occasionally, if there is any disturbance, someone will reveal some news to him, or if he encounters some small incident, someone will give him a free hand. Even like now, when there is an inspection, he can also borrow the reputation of these people.
"Okay, let's go in and have a drink and listen to your explanation."
After hearing Thomson's words, Zhang Pin pretended to be frightened and moved, and followed Thomson into the flower shop.
"This is a small kindness, sir, take it to drink tea."
After Thomson entered the store, he immediately took out a stack of U.S. dollars from the cashier, which contained various denominations. He folded it casually, then turned sideways and handed the money to Zhang Pin.
Zhang Pin: "Are you trying to bribe me?"
Zhang Pin looked at Thomson in surprise, and also took a special look at the cashier. There was a Lucky Cat over there, and his hands were waving.
The Lucky Cat's eyes were shining red right now.
Zhang Pin is very familiar with this kind of red light, and there is 100% a camera inside.
Thomson's move had to be said to be brilliant, because Zhang Pin only had one person here, and according to any department's formal work procedures, his move was obviously illegal.
If it is really an ordinary staff member, no matter what the purpose of the other party's coming here, as long as he collects money and is photographed, then there will definitely be a lot of trouble later.
Based on Thomson's experience, if the other party wants to cause trouble for him again, he can take the opportunity to take out this video and negotiate terms with Zhang Pin.
Who would have thought that Zhang Pin would recognize his arrangement at a glance.
Thomson: "How is it possible? This is tea fee, and what is the crime of bribery?"
Although his little thoughts were exposed, Thomson certainly would not admit it. As he spoke, he turned his body again, directly blocking the lucky cat with his body, and then tried to give the money to Zhang Pin again.
"No need, I said, I received the report, now I want to investigate this store, you are the owner of this store, right?"
Zhang Pin, a billionaire, would certainly not be interested in the change in Thomson's hand.
This amount of money will not exceed one thousand US dollars at most. If Zhang Pin took this money, it would be a disgrace to himself.
So he waved his hand and acted businesslike.
"Sir, as I said before, I am with the LAPD."
When Thomson saw that Zhang Pin didn't accept money, his originally confident face suddenly couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment. It's not surprising that he has run a store for so long and encountered all kinds of difficulties.
Generally speaking, if you can collect money as soon as possible, that is the best solution.
And if you don't even want money, this situation is more worrying. After all, if the other party doesn't want money, then he must have a bigger conspiracy.
So as a last resort, Thomson decided to move out of his backer again.
"You are deaf. I told you that I am from the Bureau of Investigation. The LAPD is none of my business. If you have the ability, ask your so-called backer to come and talk to me in person."
Since Zhang Pin was here to cause trouble, of course he couldn't give him face.
Especially since the backer the other party moved out is also a minion within the LAPD, and he is even more lazy to engage in falsehoods with the other party.
Even if the other party dared to find that backer, he wouldn't mind taking over the other party's backer as well.
Thomson's face became even more ugly. When he encountered someone who didn't even give him face, he really didn't have any good options at the moment.
Especially if Zhang Pin wanted to personally inspect his flower shop, Thomson would never agree.
Although he is not in the flour business, it does not mean that the flower shop is very clean.
Click——
Just when Thomson was hesitating, the door inside the flower shop was pushed open, and the silly and strong man who just ran into the flower shop in advance walked out again.
Hearing the noise, Zhang Pin and Thomson subconsciously looked in the direction of each other.
Then he saw a strong man walking out with a long shotgun in his hand.
As the other party walked, he pulled the bolt of the gun and muttered something.
Seeing the strong man coming out with a shotgun openly, Zhang Pin and Thomson had different expressions.
Thomson's first reaction when he saw the long gun in the strong man's hand was one of shock and anger. Although America was not forbidden to use guns, she was not forbidden to use any kind of guns.
In fact, for ordinary people, the caliber of firearms that can be purchased is strictly limited.
Melee weapons such as shotguns are prohibited from sale.
Originally, Zhang Pin came to the flower shop to cause trouble, which was already a headache for Thomson. Now the strong man directly took out a 100% illegal shotgun, which was equivalent to directly handing the evidence to Zhang Pin.
However, the shock and anger on Thomson's face did not last long, and soon turned into surprise.
The reason for this is naturally because Zhang Pin seems to be out of touch, and it is definitely impossible for him to resolve the dispute between the two parties through communication. In this case, it is actually a good thing for Thomson that the strong man takes out the gun now.
At least now Zhang Pin can be intimidated with a shotgun.
As long as Zhang Pin fails to catch the facts of his crime at the first time, Thomson will have time to deal with the beginning and the end, and he can also take the opportunity to find a backer to come forward.
"Get out of here!"
The strong man had already cocked the bolt of his gun. He directly raised the shotgun and pointed it at Zhang Pin, and then started to chase away the people.
Regarding the strong man's behavior, Zhang Pin couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
He didn't care about the strong man's movements or what he said. Instead, he turned to look at Thomson: "Has he always been so brave?"
Thomson: "He has something wrong with his head and is stupid. You'd better cooperate with him."
At this moment, Thomson had a smile on his face. Hearing Zhang Pin's question, his tone was relaxed and a little angry.
Obviously he felt that Zhang Pin was frightened. The other party was so arrogant before, but now facing the equal gun of all living beings, Thomson obviously didn't think that the other party was still interested in causing trouble for him.
As for whether Zhang Pin would hate himself even more because he was pointed at a gun, Thomson didn't care.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Because he knew very well about the people in these law enforcement departments that although these people looked very majestic and were actually very majestic, they were not without any restrictions.
On the contrary, because of their special status, the supervision they receive is actually quite large.
If Thomson is just an ordinary person, then as Zhang Pin, he can naturally bully him at will.
But when he has a backer, it is impossible for Zhang Pin to use some shady methods.
Thinking of this, Thomson couldn't help but smile.
Bang——
The next second, Thomson's smile froze on his face.
He stared blankly at the muzzle of the gun with a trace of white smoke in front of him, then glanced at Zhang Pin holding the pistol, and finally turned his head and looked at the strong man with the bullet between his eyebrows.
"The person who threatened the investigation bureau with a gun is so bold. He seems to be a gangster."
Zhang Pin said while taking back the pistol.
"If I remember correctly, he is your employee?"
After Zhang Pin put away his pistol, he looked at Thomson again.
"He's stupid, he's just out of his mind"
To be honest, it's not that Thomson has never seen anyone killed. He has even killed many people directly or indirectly.
But that was all in the past.
Ever since he opened this flower shop and hid behind the scenes, only selling stolen goods and no longer doing robberies himself, this was the first time he saw one of his own being beaten to death in front of him, especially since the shooter was from the Investigation Bureau. .
Thomson was really frightened.
Over the years, Thomson has actually dealt more with people from the police and the Bureau of Investigation than outlaws such as gangs.
After all, he is in the business of selling stolen goods and has the easiest access to these people.
But Thomson has come into contact with many people in this field, and he has figured out the characters of these people. In his opinion, the weaknesses of these people are much more obvious than those of gangs.
But now the appearance of Zhang Pin has obviously subverted his own understanding.
Zhang Pin dared to shoot openly. Thomson was no longer the desperado with nothing before. His first reaction at this moment was not to resist, but to excuse himself.
He has made a lot of money over the years. Now that he is old, his spirits are naturally not as good as before.
Originally, he had no intention of fighting with Zhang Pin.
In fact, from the time Zhang Pin came to trouble him until now, Thomson had no intention of confronting him head-on.
He is a criminal, and Zhang Pintian represents justice. In this case, compromise is the best way.
Thomson had been hiding behind the scenes for so many years, and he only wanted to compromise.
Seeing the other party like this, Zhang Pin was a little disappointed.
For him, the reason why he came so directly was to scare the enemy away. It would be best if Thomson lost his mind and chose to confront him.
If Thomson did this, he could shoot and kill the opponent as a matter of course.
As long as Thomson is killed, Dora's request will naturally be solved.
As for after killing Thomson, given Zhang Pin's identity and Thomson's dirty nature, when the Bureau of Investigation comes forward, he can escape unharmed.
On the contrary, under the current situation, Thomson has been holding back and does not dare to go against him, which makes Zhang Pin more troublesome.
"In that case, that's good. Just stop and wait for our people to investigate your flower shop."
Zhang Pin thought about it and immediately thought of another way.
Although Thomson's refusal to resist made him a little embarrassed.
But from the fact that Thomson had been trying to stabilize him, and the strong man's behavior just now when he heard him announcing his identity, he ran into the room to get a gun, it can be seen that the flower shop on the other side must not be able to withstand the investigation.
So he simply stated that he wanted to investigate the flower shop.
"This sir."
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Thomson's already ugly face naturally became even more ugly.
He never expected that this guy from the Investigation Bureau who appeared out of nowhere actually wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"I put one hundred thousand dollars in the flower shop. If you leave now, I can give you all the money."
Thomson composed himself and then chose to continue negotiating terms with Zhang Pin.
"One hundred thousand dollars. It seems that your flower shop is really selling white noodles. I'm sorry, why don't you go tell the judge. I have always been sworn in with sin."
Zhang Pin was also a little surprised by Thomson's generosity.
On the surface, the other party is just a flower shop owner, but when something happens, he is willing to pay one hundred thousand US dollars.
To be honest, this is really surprising, the other party is really courageous.
If Zhang Pin didn't know the other party's details, he was really just an ordinary investigator. Even if Zhang Pin himself wasn't rich, even if he knew the other party's details, he might not be able to refuse the temptation of one hundred thousand dollars.
After all, Dora's request is not a big deal.
Compared to 100,000 US dollars, it is definitely inferior.
And he can also take the money and leave now, and come back to mess with Thomson next time.
But who told Zhang Pin to take action this time?
He just shook his head, then turned his back to Thomson and spoke righteously.
After hearing Zhang Pin's words and seeing his actions, Thomson finally couldn't help it. He was so angry that he directly reached out and touched his arms.
Bang bang bang bang——
Gunfire rang out.
