Kai came out of the interrogation room with a yawn, and turned to call Chap to come out and have breakfast together.
As a result, he bumped into someone just as he turned around.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Kai hurriedly grabbed the person he knocked down.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kai apologized while helping the man to his feet.
Only then did Kai clearly see who he had knocked down. That was a black girl. This girl was very pretty... For Easterners, using this word to describe a black person was already the limit. Overall this black girl is beautiful.
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't see the road clearly." The girl was also very polite.
Kai waved his hands and didn't take it to heart. Just as a sideshow. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the work badge on the girl's chest.
"Wait a minute!" Kai stopped the girl who was about to leave.
When Kai stopped her, the girl's body visibly trembled, like a naughty student caught by the teacher.
"Iris! Why are you here?" Fortunately, Chap came out of the interrogation room at this time and happened to see the black girl.
"You know him?" Kai asked.
"That's right. She is the daughter of Sheriff Joe West of the Southern District Major Crimes Unit. She is now... Wait a minute, Iris, how did you get in? Oh, damn, you won't sneak in for another interview. Right?" Chap thought of Iris's criminal record and immediately shouted.
"Uncle Chap... don't say that. The public has the right to know. I'm just reporting the facts." Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Iris immediately defended his behavior confidently.
Kai also knew now that this girl was a reporter.
"Iris? Why are you here! I'm looking for you!" But at this moment, Chloe ran over with a box in her arms. Judging from the sweat on her nose, she looked very anxious. "Phew! Here!"
Iris took the box with a confused expression.
"What's this?"
Chloe wiped her sweat and said with a bright face: "Donation! This is our donation to Barry."
Ares fell silent when he heard this.
Kai was confused, what happened?
He looked at Chap.
Chap explained to Kai in a low voice.
It turns out that the girl named Iris has a brother, who is not technically a brother. In short, there is a white boy named Barry who was adopted by Iris's father, Sergeant Joe of the Southern District Crime Squad, more than ten years ago. So it's okay for Barry and Iris to grow up together and call him her brother.
Some time ago, the boy named Barry was struck by lightning...
Now he is lying in the hospital in a vegetative state.
Kai blinked and suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
Lightning……
A must-have for time travel!
Is this child destined to be the Chosen One?
Of course, the above are all nonsense. Even if Kai never slips away again, he will not joke with others about this. In short, because Barry became a vegetative state, he could only lie on the hospital bed. Although he also has medical insurance, similar to China, medical insurance in the United States does not reimburse all medical expenses. And medical expenses in the United States are so expensive!
Joe is a veteran police chief with a high crime detection rate and a hatred of evil. Many police officers in the Los Angeles Police Department know him and have a high prestige. Now that something is wrong, many branches have begun to make spontaneous donations.
No, Chloe also initiated a donation to the West District Police Station.
"Except for being a bit arrogant, that kid has no other problems. He is a good kid, and he is also a forensic examiner at the Southern District Police Department. He has very good abilities... What a pity." Chap said as he took out his wallet. , withdrew several hundred dollars and stuffed them into the donation box.
Iris had the intention to refuse...but their family really needed money. Although Barry's medical expenses are currently covered by medical insurance and life insurance, no one can tell when Barry will wake up. So Iris did not refuse everyone's kindness.
Americans are good at this, just not pretentious.
Chloe was very happy to see Iris receiving the donation. Then she saw Kai.
"Boss! You can't just watch!"
Westerners are very enthusiastic about charity, but they are not as fond of moral kidnapping as we are in China. After all, whether to donate or not is a personal behavior and should be done according to one's ability. However, after Chloe got along with Kai, she thought she understood her immediate boss.
Apart from anything else, at least Chloe could tell from Kai's low-key but extremely expensive clothes that Kai was not short of money. Besides, Kai doesn't look like a stingy person.
Sure enough, after hearing what Chloe said, Kai didn't think much about it. He didn't feel like he was being morally kidnapped. After all, others didn't say that he should donate more if he had money, which was just a courtesy.
Kai is not in the habit of carrying cash. In fact, Americans don’t have the habit of carrying cash. Not many people like Chap carry hundreds of dollars in their wallets. Most Americans are accustomed to using credit cards. Kai, on the other hand, is not very used to credit cards. He is more used to Micro and Alipay. It’s just that there is no such payment terminal in the United States.
Although there was no payment end, Kai had other options.
Checkbook.
Kai took out a check book from his pocket, swiped a number, and then prepared to throw it into the donation box.
In his previous life, Kai had almost never been exposed to checks... Anyway, in Kai's opinion, checks were very high-end and only used by high-end business people. That's how it's done on TV. This led Kai to always think it was cool to do this.
So it doesn’t matter whether it’s show-off or intentional. Kai now pays by check most of the time, and many places in the United States also accept this payment method, and you can write a check for just a few dollars.
Chloe was curious about how much Kai would donate, so she grabbed the check midway.
This is a very rude behavior. After all, it is more or less a personal wish. Chloe grabbing it like this feels like an invasion of personal privacy. If Kai were a pure-blooded American, he might be angry, but Kai has always been Chinese at heart, and he is more accepting of this kind of thing. Chinese people don't look at things as rigidly as Americans. Chinese people prefer to look at motives.
For example, many celebrities donate money. Many people don't really care how much the celebrity donates, but look at his motives. If the celebrity's donation is for the title of the picture, it's over, and all kinds of boycotts will come. This kind of thing is quite annoying sometimes. After all, when celebrities engage in charity, how many of them really don’t want to do anything?
That's a long way to go, but Kai could tell that Chloe didn't have any ill intentions, just out of curiosity.
"Wow! Ten thousand dollars!"
Kay signed the check directly for $10,000. This is a lot of money no matter where you put it. At least no one in the police department can donate more than this amount.
"Is it too much?" Kai saw Chloe's expression and thought he had donated too much.
Iris quickly waved his hand: "No need for so much."
Iris didn't know Kai's situation. If compared to a normal police officer's income, Kai had indeed donated a lot. Based on Kai's position and police rank, his annual income is approximately US$84,000, with a maximum of no more than US$100,000. This donation of US$10,000 is definitely a huge sum of money.
But Chloe was very open-minded. She didn't care about Iris's refusal at all and stuffed the check directly into the donation box.
"Don't worry about him, he is a rich man."
After saying that, he ignored Ares and said to Kai, "Here comes Joe. Two of the people we arrested are related to a shooting in the South District, and Joe plans to merge the case."
Kai nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Just leave it to Dan. I want to sleep now." He nodded to Iris and took Chap out. I can't ask those guys before I reach a deal, so I might as well take this time to take a good rest.
…
Iris looked at Kai leaving, still a little at a loss. After all, too much was given.
When Chloe saw Iris like this, she smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't feel embarrassed. I can tell you with certainty that our leader is very rich!" After speaking, Chloe secretly looked around and whispered: "I'm telling you, our leader is very rich." The relationship with Long is very...you know."
With a reporter's sensitivity to news, Iris immediately grasped the key points.
"Is he the mysterious man who was rumored to be having an affair with Charlize Theron?" Iris also remembered where he had seen Kai. A lot of people were paying attention to Charlize Theron's scandal two days ago.
Unexpectedly, Chloe picked it up at this time.
"Ahem, I didn't say that. Anyway, our boss won't let me talk nonsense."
Hear the strings and know the elegant meaning. Iris immediately understood what Chloe meant.
She immediately held up three fingers.
"I swear, I will never log out."
This was what Chloe was waiting for, and she immediately started gossiping with Iris. Knowing a piece of gossip but not being able to share it with others is definitely a very frustrating thing. Especially since Chloe saw Sharlize Theron come to the police station in person yesterday and leave in the same car with Kai. Chloe's little flame of gossip suddenly ignited.
Iris listened to the gossip and thought about how to find out the news from Kai.
Whether it was Kai being rich or having an affair with Sharlize Theron, she smelled the news from Kai.
…
Just when Kai finished breakfast and went back to bed.
Jin Bin also received news that one of his own people had been arrested by the police.
"So...our people are all doomed?" With the crisp sound of the lighter, Kingpin lit a cigar. It seemed as if he didn't care at all about the news. In fact, this is indeed the case. Like those gunmen, Kingpin had as many men as he wanted. As long as they are willing to give money, some people are willing to give money and sacrifice their lives with guns.
"Everyone except Carl Burbank and Erica have been killed by the police." Kingpin's right-hand man, James, stood opposite Kingpin and reported carefully.
Seeing James' expression, Kingpin knew that he still had something to say, and it was definitely not good news.
"If there's anything else, let's talk about it together."
"The other thing is... the Hand and the Association no longer want to continue to provide us with information."
Kingpin stopped smoking his cigar after hearing the name of Shou Hehui.
"Why?"
"They said that our actions have begun to gradually affect their business in Los Angeles..."
"Tell me the real reason." Kingpin didn't believe that those ninjas would be afraid of this.
The Hand and the Huihui are an extremely mysterious group of ninja killers. Their background is very mysterious. Kingpin once tried to find out the secret of the Hand and the Huihui, but all failed. He only knew that the Hand and the Society were a ninja organization that was both strict and loose.
They originated in Japan, and some news shows that their true origin is that mysterious country in the East. But it was just a rumor. In short, the first time the Hand would appear was in Japan.
To say they are strict is because they are extremely mysterious. They are involved in many black businesses, from drug trafficking, to arms, human trafficking, smuggling, and even many legitimate industries, but it is strange that the outside world knows very little about them. They often move around under the skin of Japanese gangsters, and sometimes they even support some Japanese gangsters for their use. They are always hidden in various conspiracies and mist.
Even the FBI's opponents and the Association only know a little bit about their organizational structure, hidden strongholds and relationship networks.
To say they are loose is because Ju Jin did not know.
The Shouhehui is actually divided into five parts, each governed by five mysterious elders, and the relationship between them is extremely loose. Even most of the time, the subordinates of the Shouhehui don't know who each other is.
The symbol of the Hand Conference is a bloody handprint with five fingers spread out. The five fingers symbolize the hands and the five leaders of the meeting.
The relationship between Jinpin and Handhehui is also very simple, they just use each other. The Hand and Society can transport many high-purity drugs to major cities in the United States through some covert channels, many of which are even laboratory-grade.
Many of Kingpin's businesses on the east coast are in cooperation with the Hand and the Hand, and those ninjas are his most important suppliers.
However, Jin did not cooperate with the entire Hand and Society. What he cooperated with was a 'finger' of the Hand and Society. And this finger is very mysterious. It belongs to an older Asian woman. She calls herself Mrs. Gao. A very strong and powerful woman. Even Kingpin would sometimes feel shuddering when facing this old man, as if everything about him would be clearly seen by this old woman who might belch at any time.
Jin Bin could feel the extremely terrifying power contained in that decaying body. Therefore, he has always paid close attention to the movements of his opponents and conferences.
James hesitated before saying: "Mrs. Gao's staff told me...the Los Angeles side placed an order at the high table."
"High table..." Jin Bin's face finally fluctuated when he heard the name. Became sullen and angry.
"Shouhehui has an agreement with the High Table, and they will not conflict with the High Table. But..."
"But what?"
"The other party still gave us a piece of news. The Los Angeles side placed an order with the Assassin Brotherhood through the High Table, and the target was Carl Burbank and Erica. The people in Los Angeles want to find them out and kill them."
Bang!
Kingpin punched the desk, and everything on the solid wood desk was shaken, leaving a deep punch mark on it.
