nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 30

Tao Xi, who woke up from a good night's sleep, just opened his eyes and saw the hot dog next to his pillow.

As for Marco, who has gone crazy for a long time, Tao Xi didn't wrong him when he came back this time, and gave Marco 400 dollars of pocket money with a wave of his hand.

What do you want to do!
Now it is 80 US dollars in the 400s in the United States. This amount of money is really not small. If it is placed in an ordinary family, it is enough for their family to live frugally for a month.

Tao Xi, who had just returned to the sewer for the second day, was not in a hurry to go out to work on something. He first finished eating the hot dog that Marco brought him, and Tao Xi took out the one from under the pillow that made him the first bucket of gold. the radio~
In order to receive news from the radio in time, Tao Xi turned on the radio all the time and kept it on standby at any time so that he could get some more news.

Tao Xi hadn't eaten a few bites of hot dogs when the radio on the side blared.

Hearing the sound of the radio, Tao Xi, who was still sleepy-eyed, regained his energy in an instant. He didn't even care about his favorite meat burger, so he just casually put the meat burger aside and hugged him tightly. Listening to the radio to listen to what will be broadcast on the radio~
[Hello, audience friends in front of the radio~]

[Thank you very much for listening to the National Treasure program of the Fox Geographical Discovery Channel at this time. I am your host Patrick]

[This time our theme is about the local treasure map story in Los Angeles]

Tao Xi has never heard of such a messy TV program as "National Treasure" on the radio, but everyone knows that these words [National Treasure] mean money~
Although he already had an employment contract with the old West family, because he was a black household in the sewer, he did not go to the appointment to sign the contract on time~
This is the disadvantage of not having an ID card, but Tao Xi has nothing to do. If the contract is not signed, the other party cannot give him a punctual salary. Although he has the wanted reward from the FBI and the thank-you fee from the old West’s family, etc., these There are also 5 US dollars in miscellaneous calculations.

But as far as Tao Xi knows, 5 US dollars may not be enough for the legal status of two people~
Tao Xi shook his head helplessly and continued to listen to the voice on the radio!

[National Treasure has become a hot topic of discussion among people around the world since the 70s. For example, the recent popular movie Pirates of the Caribbean, this series of movies is based on treasures as clues. Today we are honored to invite you to the back of our channel Producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells us about a national treasure found right next to us]

The frowning Tao Xi had no impression of the name Jerry Bruckheimer, but as the voice on the radio advanced, Jerry Bruckheimer was not the only one on stage this time, this time he seemed to bring A lot of Hollywood screenwriters came on stage~
When Jerry Bruckheimer kept introducing people's names on the radio, Tausi was so bored that he almost fell asleep~
[Thanks, thank you, I was lucky enough to invite so many colleagues to help me in an autobiographical film I just filmed not long ago. Although John Hughes was not present due to physical reasons, I am still very grateful to him. When I debuted It was with the help of him and Don Simpson that I filmed my first campus youth film, for which I am very grateful, without their help, I might not be where I am today! 】

"John Hughes!!!"

"Fxxk! It can't be the John Hughes I know!" Tao Xi was holding his radio by himself, as if he was insane, and kept chanting, Jerry Bruckheimer on the radio It seems that he is also much older, and he can't get into the main topic for a long time, but he is constantly thanking those who helped him in the past.

【Oh!Yes, yes, today our topic is [National Treasure]. In fact, when I was supervising the production of Pirates of the Caribbean, I talked with my old friends many times about the stories of people getting rich overnight. Among them, the one that interested me the most Or a white couple who immigrated from Portugal. 】

[At that time, I remember that it was not long after the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympics. The couple was an entourage of a certain Portuguese national long-distance running team. 】

[Because the success of the Los Angeles Olympics made them fancy the beautiful scenery of Los Angeles, they decided to purchase property in Los Angeles County and immigrate. 】

[This kind of thing is actually very common in the United States, but what really surprised me was that the couple seemed to be blessed by God. There was a box of $60 worth of money under a house they bought in Los Angeles County. Famous paintings! ! ! 】

[John Singer Sargent, as a modern American impressionist painter, never married, I believe many people know how much his paintings are worth. 】

[The couple found a red box under this house. 】

[Inside the red box is a portrait of a person who is not so well preserved and there is also a cosmetic box! 】

[You must know that the couple only spent 3 U.S. dollars to buy this house at that time. Although this amount of money was a lot of money in those days, the couple got 3 U.S. dollars in remuneration for 60 U.S. dollars . 】

[I remember the address is in the wealthy area of ​​Los Angeles County, Brentwood, hahahaha, if there is a chance, we can go together and see if there is another chance. 】

Tao Xi basically didn't listen to the rest of the radio, and picked up the cold hot dog and ate it absent-mindedly~
The Brentwood community was called a rich area by John Hughes' old friend on the radio, but Tausi didn't agree, he knew the Brentwood community~
There is nothing more than a few more classical buildings and exquisite museums in the 50s. As for the rich area?Tao Xi didn't see it.

Except for some descendants of down-and-out British and Italian nobles, Tao Xi really didn't feel it. It can be said that it is a place that even thieves don't want to go.

Tao Xi, who kept muttering about the geographical location, was lying on the wooden plank of the sewer as if he had lost his soul, lost in thought.

Since Jeffrey left Prison 86 in Los Angeles, his life has not been as smooth as he imagined. He was first promoted from the prison as the third-level superintendent of the warden to the director of the Los Angeles branch, but the endless struggles and civil strife made him become the director of the Los Angeles branch. Jeffrey was transferred to Los Angeles Police Department Robbery-Murder Division Director at lightning speed~
On the surface, it seems that he has a lot more power in his hands. After all, he was transferred from the branch bureau to the general bureau, but only Jeffrey knows it in his heart!

He has moved someone else's cake in the sub-bureau. After all, being the top leader and working under someone else's hands are two different concepts~
Thinking of this, Jeffrey couldn't help but sighed heavily. Just as Jeffrey was about to deal with the security work related to the Los Angeles Olympics today, a beautiful policewoman walked in~
"Sheriff Jeffrey, this is a private investigator introduced by the New York Police Department's Major Crimes Investigation Section. He wants to get some information from you. I made an appointment for you yesterday."

Jeffrey couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the female secretary's words, but still nodded helplessly.

Jeffrey understands the sophistication of the world, and he can't understand some things, but he has already been in this situation if he can't stand it, and he can't avoid the favor of the world.

"Hello, Superintendent Jeffrey, I'm Dalton Jr., the chairman of the New York Dalton Jr. Public Relations Company. This time I'm here to check someone's information with you."

Jeffrey just listened to the man chattering there, but Jeffrey didn't raise his head from the beginning to the end.

The little Dalton on the opposite side was not in a hurry when he saw Jeffrey's attitude. This time he came to Los Angeles again not empty-handed. He used his previous relationship and the relationship between his parents to meet him this time. All the people in the world have been inquiring behind their backs~
Including the head of the Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Murder Division!
"Superintendent Jeffrey, I know you are very unhappy about what happened to you before."

"But in the United States, there is no way to avoid this kind of thing. You have to know that the cases you investigated at the beginning were drug-related cases. If ordinary people know that there are people in their police stations who cooperate with insiders and outsiders, they will be the first to investigate these people. context, but you cut it across the board."

"Actually, my personality is very similar to yours. The New York Police Department also knows that you are a rising star. The NYPD needs people like you."

Jeffrey heard the twittering voice of the fly-like detective in front of his ear, and immediately interrupted his subsequent questioning: "If you have something to say, if you don't want me to investigate the cause of your death tomorrow ~"

Dalton Jr. didn't take Jeffrey's threat seriously at all. After all, there are not many good police officers like Jeffrey in Los Angeles.

"This person! I want to know where this person is!"

Just when Jeffrey was about to call someone from the household registration department to come in to accompany the investigation, Jeffrey suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the photo that Dalton Jr. put on his desk!
After Jeffrey saw Tao Xi's photo, he raised his head and took a careful look at Little Dalton~
On the opposite side, little Dalton still had the pride of the New York Police Department in the past. Seeing the smile on his face, Jeffrey flashed a trace of memories in his mind, but soon Jeffrey thought of the prison Bolton in
"You looking for him? What are you doing?"

Little Dalton realized something quickly when he saw the expression on Jeffrey's face, but Little Dalton was not in a hurry, he just straightened his facial expression and whispered to Jeffrey: "I I owe him my life, I don't like to owe favors, I want to pay him back!"

This is how the chat between Jeffrey and Dalton Jr. started~
A few days later, the New York Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department quickly got a ticket from Rwanda to Los Angeles for a business trip and a certificate of nationality~
Tausi and Marco became citizens of Rwanda in such a muddled way, and they also owned a bungalow in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.

The reason why Dalton Jr. helped Tausi and Marco choose Rwanda was not a blind decision, but because Rwanda was full of wars before 1973, but after Rwanda was established, the United States directly set Rwanda as his exemption. Sign the country for 90 years, and as a citizen of Rwanda, you only need to pay 50 US dollars to complete the request to continue to stay in the United States~
With this household registration certificate and Dalton Jr.'s guarantee from the former New York Police Department, there will definitely be no problems!

If someone with a heart goes to Rwanda to investigate, before 1973, Rwanda didn’t even have a set of household registration management system. If he can find out something, then it’s really a ghost~
When everything was done, Dalton Jr. not only hugged Jeffrey, but Dalton Jr. also said to Jeffrey: "Actually, you are really a good cop, but a good cop has no future in Los Angeles."

After saying this, little Dalton turned around and walked away without even looking at Jeffrey with a complex expression~
Jeffrey, who was standing at the entrance of the Los Angeles General Administration, didn't really care about what Dalton said, but recalled Tao Xi's show operation in San Francisco with emotion~
How could Jeffrey, as the director of the Los Angeles branch, not know about San Francisco?
They are all managed by the Los Angeles State Government. A promotion and a demotion have become a good story in the entire Los Angeles Police Department~
Lewis, the bureau chief who was waiting to retire, not only became a rising political star in San Francisco defending his country overnight, but also directly participated in the election for the next mayor of San Francisco. The guy was forced to be transferred to the Los Angeles General Administration to become a director because of the purge?
Who doesn't call him a stupid old guy behind his back now~
At this time, Tao Xi was walking alone on the main road of the Brentwood Community Market. There were countless hot dog stands, silk scarves, groceries, and second-hand items on the roadside, which looked like a flea market in later generations.

But Tao Xi tilted his head and couldn't see any sign of a wealthy area from here.

That is to say, from the surrounding buildings, it can be seen that some ancient buildings with historical reference value are densely covered on both sides of the flea market. The Rocky Mountains in the distance make the environment here look beautiful.

Tao Xi did not look at the things sold by the vendors in the market, but stared at the notes in his hand and the newspapers he just bought from the newsstand, and kept looking around at the house numbers on every building in the surrounding Brentwood community~
As Tausi moved deeper and deeper into the depths of the Brentwood neighborhood, he drifted further and further away from the Brentwood neighborhood.

When the flea market also disappeared around Tao Xi, Tao Xi felt a little guilty in his heart: "Is there something wrong with this radio too? Shouldn't it be? The sales information in the newspaper also said that there is a house for sale at this address? 1799 Where is the house number? Why is there no house number?"

As Tao Xi muttered, he was getting farther and farther away from the Brentwood community~
The edge of Brentwood's community happened to be a deep mountain in the Rocky Mountains, but Tao Xi didn't notice it at all. Instead, he just looked at the surrounding buildings with a dull head.
