Chapter 441 American Squire
"Mr. Black! I'm sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry, I surprised you! Don't worry, we will organize the police immediately, and we will guarantee to catch those little thieves within three days!"

It was less than three minutes after Rick hung up the phone.A person who looked like a high-ranking police officer suddenly rushed into the reception room, and looked at Carter and apologized repeatedly:

"Also, please wait a little longer. Someone will come to pick you up soon."

Reminiscent of Rick's last sentence "you'll find out later", Carter seemed to realize something: If I remember correctly, in Rick's self-introduction at the beginning of school, he said he was from Ohio.
Could it be?

"Okay, when there is news, do you know how to notify me?"

"I know! Don't worry, I will notify you as soon as I have a clue."

"Row."

Carter didn't have to wait long to get rid of the gallant.A black Cadillac stopped outside the gate of the police station, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of the car, looked around the crowd, and quickly locked his eyes on Carter.

"Hi, may I ask you to be Mr. Carter Black? Master Rick sent me to invite you to my house, what would you like? If you don't want to, here is some temporary emergency money; if you are willing, it will be It is our honor, madam would like to meet you too."

"Childe Rick", this title made Carter's eyelids twitch.

It seems right, this Cincinnati may be Rick's base camp.Well, it's kind of like what Douglas was to himself.
Just, the American version of the country gentleman class!
very good, very powerful!

"Thank you for your invitation, shall we go now?"

Although the check book was robbed and all the cash was thrown away, Carter, who still had his bank card, was actually not embarrassed in terms of money.It's not like sleeping on the street because of this, but staying at Rick's house for two days is also a good choice.

"This is our honor, you are welcome! Please!"

"I often hear Rick say that I met a very thoughtful roommate in school. I originally planned to ask Rick to invite you to be a guest on Thanksgiving. I didn't expect that we would meet in this way."

It's not a rich meal, but after lunch, the dishes are extraordinarily exquisite.In the flower garden of a manor with a large area, Carter, Rick's old lady, and several other old ladies were sitting under a parasol, chatting leisurely.

see?

Large villas, swimming pools, gardens, maids, housekeepers, chefs and other service staff.This is the real country gentleman!Carter suddenly felt that he had failed a little.
"Maybe it's God's will. Rick never told me that his hometown is Cincinnati. Otherwise, I'm definitely going to pay a visit when I come here this time."

Carter smiled and sipped the coffee on hand, let alone.Carter, who couldn't taste the quality and flavor of coffee at all, suddenly felt that the coffee became more delicious when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"Now that I know it this time, I can come here more often in the future! All the men in this family have run away, either to Washington or to Virginia, and the fourth family has run farther."

Before Rick's mother could speak, another aunt began to complain.In an instant, the topic of a group of boudoir and dissatisfied women completely went off the rails.And through the gossip of these women, Carter gradually heard some truths.
The one in Washington seems to be Rick’s uncle in the Department of Justice; the one in Virginia seems to be Rick’s father, who is said to be in the Army, but is there any Army base in Virginia?Carter is going to check when he goes back
In short, this Rick family is almost the same as the so-called gentry families that Carter has seen in ancient Chinese history.From this point of view, this little squire himself is not enough to look at.
Fortunately, Carter's little emo didn't last long.Mrs. Rick saw that Carter was being ignored by the others, so she quickly turned the topic back on track:

"Carter, I hear you and Rick are starting a community policing company recently, right? Any difficulties?"

"Well, the current situation is not bad, and we have already won orders from several colleges. Speaking of which, this is thanks to the inaction of the police force in New Haven, otherwise it would not be our turn to do this."

"Hmph, do it! Let's see what those donkeys can do!"

"That's right, good Cincinnati is being made into a bad shape now. Carter is lucky. In the past few years, there have been many people who have been shot and killed for robbery! In my opinion, Rick's current police The company is good, and after it gets better, come to Cincinnati to open a branch, and there will definitely be business!"

"That's a good idea. If we don't clean up the city, people will run away! We are so close to Kentucky, we can run away in two steps."

As the saying goes, a thousand waves were stirred up for a while, and when Carter mentioned the issue of public security.Several noble ladies immediately complained aggressively.
Unfortunately, Carter once again became a neglected little transparent
Fortunately, Carter heard some interesting information:

For example, Procter & Gamble, a well-known consumer goods company, is headquartered in Cincinnati!Another example is that elephants are still good at talking in the Cincinnati metropolitan area and near Hamilton County, so the security is better; if you go outside, you can’t go outside the suburbs of the city.
Since the city center is red, why is Cincinnati a blue city?
This involves the mayor committee system in Cincinnati, and historically, before the Civil War.Cincinnati, located at the junction of slave states and free states, was naturally the first city where black slaves arrived after fleeing.

There are also a large number of black people gathered here, which can be regarded as a fertile soil for donkeys to grow. Is there enough fertilizer?
After listening to a series of gossip information, it is not clear what is the specific use.But information needs to be accumulated
Through the comparative analysis of the situation in Cincinnati and the situation in New Haven, let us think about the future political situation in the United States.Carter seems to have smelled a trace of feasibility, a trace of the feasibility of attracting large companies that can provide a large number of or stable jobs to settle in Douglas.
However, it remains to be seen how this matter will be implemented, and there is no rush right now.At the same time, Carter, who stayed at Rick's house, also followed these old women.

The lunch at noon was not well-prepared, and this looked quite ordinary.Delicacy is exquisite, but the dishes are basically home-cooked dishes, and there are no big fish and meat, luxury delicacies and so on.When it comes to the dinner party, after an afternoon of preparation, the dinner is quite rich.
From crab to grilled lamb chops, from appetizers to desserts.
It's a bit of a semi-legal taste, and it's the same as French cuisine in form, but the taste of the dishes has completely changed.Of course, the wine is still made in France.
