Start from 1980

Chapter 256 Trouble
Zhou Wei was indeed in trouble.

And it's still a big problem.

Trouble with poison.

When Ronald Reagan became president in 1981, he vowed to crack down on drug abuse, yet the war started as far back as the 20s, when President Richard Nichols waged the war.

But in the early 80s, criminals still developed a clean and addictive drug called 'crack'.

Because of its cheap price, the number of addicts in the United States has increased dramatically, the number of addicts has increased by millions, and the crime rate and incarceration rate have also soared.

At the same time, Reagan's wife, Nancy Reagan, also used her own power to prevent the spread of drugs. She launched the "Say No Directly" campaign to encourage children to refuse to try and use drugs, and to say no to drugs.

The campaign began in the early 80s, and Nancy Reagan would travel to various countries to support the campaign, appearing on TV news, talk shows and public service announcements, and visiting drug rehabilitation centers to promote the campaign. Activity.

Last year, in 1983, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Daryl Gates and the Los Angeles Unified School District began the Dare, Drug Abuse Resistance Education program.

Put students in contact with the local police, educate students about the dangers of substance abuse, and ask them to commit to staying away from drugs and gangs.

Both the Republican and Democratic presidents have launched severe anti-drug operations, not only banning marijuana domestically, but also cracking down on the production of drugs worldwide, such as the crackdown on the marijuana cultivation industry in Mexico.

However, Zhou Wei's trouble was the traditional Chinese medicine he was carrying.

Because this guy is not in good health, he bought some Chinese medicine from a Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown, and brought it with him when he came to Boston this time.

But what he didn't know was that this Chinese medicine shop had long been targeted by the DEA, that is, the US Drug Enforcement Administration, because THC, which is poison, can be extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine sold in this Chinese medicine shop.

After marijuana was banned, some drug dealers came to this Chinese medicine shop to buy these traditional Chinese medicines.

After Zhou Wei left New York, he was caught by the TSA who was notified on the way. Although many Americans did not like the Chinese, they still gave Zhou Wei a chance to call.

In addition to Zhou Wei's status as an overseas student, the second thing is that the weight of these traditional Chinese medicines is not very large, but the complaint waiting for him is to participate in the manufacture and transportation of drugs!
Once the two crimes are concurrent, then Zhou Wei will not be as simple as being sent back to China, he will be sentenced directly in the United States!
Even notifying the embassy is useless, because now the DEA has solid evidence.

Su Chen has some headaches. Some well-known people in later generations will only attack the domestic police and urban management for their uncivilized law enforcement. In fact, foreign police law enforcement is more violent!
This kind of immigrant country is especially serious in North America. The police in the United States are basically white, and they are particularly violent when they treat people of color such as blacks, Mexicans, Latin Americans and Asians when they enforce the law.

Later, although some blacks were also used, they were equally violent.

He was worried that Zhou Wei would be violently enforced. If this kind of thing was replaced by another person, he could pretend that he didn't know Zhou Wei.

It's just that all these calls came here. It's impossible to pretend not to know each other. After all, I'm still a classmate in the class.

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen rubbed his temples. This matter should be resolved as soon as possible. If the DEA came over, Zhou Wei would probably be taken away.

The only thing we know so far is that Zhou Wei is only suspected of those two crimes, but it cannot be ruled out that the Americans will use him to make up the numbers because he is Chinese.

"What's wrong?" Avril asked.

Su Chen said: "The TSA called, saying that a classmate of mine was arrested for allegedly participating in the manufacture and transportation of drugs..."

"Xie Te!" Avril Lavigne swears instantly: "Didn't the DEA do the drug investigation? When will it be the TSA's turn? Is there any evidence?"

"You know that we Chinese have always had the habit of drinking traditional Chinese medicine. My classmate probably bought some Chinese medicine because of his poor health, so he was suspected of these two crimes."

Su Chen patted his forehead: "I want you to send me to the TSA in Boston. I have to find a way to rescue my classmate. If he is sentenced, he will probably be useless in his life."

"Su, I suggest that you don't go there so rashly, you must bring a well-known lawyer, otherwise those sons of bitches won't give you face."

Avril said: "You wait for me first, I will go to my uncle, he is a barrister in Boston, you don't go out until I come back, or you will go in together."

After finishing speaking, Avril left in a hurry.

Now we must find a way to get Zhou Wei out of this case, otherwise he may spend the rest of his life in an American prison.

Although the United States has been proclaiming some human rights, in fact, it is just hehehe, just listen to this kind of slogan.

Miranda, who had been staring at Su Chen and Avril, saw Avril leaving in a hurry, so she ran over with a bunch of sausages:

"Su, what did you say to Avril just now? Why did she leave in such a hurry? Am I the only one sleeping with you tonight?"

As she said that, there was a bit of cunning in her beautiful eyes: "I have never tried three people. I thought I could have three people tonight, but now it seems that it may not be possible."

"Miranda, if you make such a joke again, I guarantee you will regret it." Su Chen thought for a while and said, "I have encountered some troubles."

"What's wrong?" Miranda stopped joking and asked seriously.

Su Chen told what happened, and Miranda frowned tightly:

"It seems that your classmate's situation is not good. Although Avril Lavigne is going to find a lawyer, this kind of thing can't be settled without a lawyer. Su, you have to think of other ways. In this way, I will go Brian called."

Soon, Brian came over with a bottle of beer and asked curiously, "Dude, I heard from Miranda that you're in trouble? What's the trouble?"

Su Chen told the story again.

After Brian finished listening, he said, "In other words, your classmate is only arrested by TSA now, right? If it was taken away by DEA, it may not be TSA who called you."

Picked up the beer and took a sip, then said: "Dude, that classmate of yours is indeed in some trouble, but as long as he is not taken away by DEA, there is still a solution. Later, you and Avril will go to the TSA to see you first." classmates.

I'm here to help you figure out a way, trust me, buddy, if I can get it right, then your classmate can still come to this BBQ. "

After speaking, Brian called his girlfriend Lisa to leave together.

Miranda thought for a while, and said, "Su, it's not an option for us to sit like this, you wait for me first, I'll go back and help you figure out a solution now, see you at TSA, trust me, we will definitely be able to settle this matter. "

Afterwards, Miranda also left in a hurry.

Billy, who was active at the scene, saw these people leaving one by one, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Su, what happened? Why did they all leave?"

"Dude, it's no big deal. What you have to do now is to help me make the atmosphere of the scene a little more lively." Su Chen put his arms around his shoulders: "I can't find a better person than you for this matter in Boston. suitable person."

"Look at me, buddy, I will definitely help you make it beautiful." Billy patted his chest and said, "But I still feel that you have something to hide from me."

Su Chen told Zhou Wei's story again. After listening, Billy pondered for a moment:
"Since Brian and Miranda Avril are helping, there should be no problem with this matter, buddy, just keep your heart in your stomach."

Now Su Chen has no choice but to wait for these people to help him find a way.

He also knows the reason why Brian and others helped. A young scholar who has written two masterpieces at a young age and can be called by Professor Ayler to give lectures, as long as it is not a big deal, is naturally the most suitable investment object.

And now he was still the organizer of the party, and it would not be appropriate if he didn't show up, so he and Billy, each carrying a bottle of wine, came to the yard to brag to the people who came to the party.

Half an hour later, Avril came back, the car stopped at the door of the house, got out of the car and greeted: "Su, let's go..."
