nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 32

In order not to affect the business of Nelson's hot dog shop~
Tao Xi deliberately called this group of gangsters headed by Nilta to a corner. When Tao Xi knew that this group of people were all prisoners from Los Angeles Prison 86, Tao Xi also frowned a little!
According to Nilta's original words, in fact, he didn't really want these people to follow him, but now all the people released from Prison 86, as long as they didn't stay in the Blood Gang, started to beg for food from him.

Nierta also has a headache~
"Okay, okay, I understand, what did you take them with you in the past, what do you take them with you now, I have a lot of things to do recently, I will finish my brother Hill's affairs first, and then I will deal with you, Let me warn you first, don’t do anything wrong!!!”

"If you let me know, I don't need you to go back to the prison, I will clean up for you outside!"

Tao Xi pretended to be vicious and pointed at the prisoners who were obviously taller than him and threatened.

After hearing Tao Xi's words, the group of prisoners also nodded obediently and said yes.

Tao Xi, holding a cowhide file bag in his hand, looked at the large group of people and didn't know what to say, but left with his hands behind his back and a sad face, leading Marco away.

"Don't you like these people following you? I see a group of people wherever Uncle Kushner goes, and I'm very envious."

"Actually, I want to live under the sun. Really, I want you to live under the sun too! But it's really difficult, just like the group of poor people envious of the life of the rich, maybe the group of rich people still Envious of us."

"I don't understand, Tao Xi, you have started to learn from Grandpa Gnar again, and you are always inexplicable."

Tao Xi glanced at Marco who was standing next to him with an indifferent face and said with a smile: "Grandpa Gnar said, in fact, for everyone, having a happy and peaceful life is the most important thing!"

"But the fact is often the opposite, because the sun is everywhere, everyone is ignoring him! I like to bask in the sun, and I hope each of you can bask in the sun."

"If you ask me how much I love Los Angeles, it's actually not. None of what we have now was given to us by Los Angeles. It's all our hard work."

"If you ask me how much I hate that group of people, I actually don't. It doesn't matter whether I am a good person or a bad person."

"But only good people are qualified to bask in the sun!"

Hearing Tao Xi's plausible words, Marco suddenly felt a little dizzy, but Marco is a guy who can divert his eyes very much: "That's right! Don't we need to be afraid of them when we stand at the gate of the police station now?"

Tao Xi glanced at the US-Australia paper police booth not far away and raised his eyebrows at Marco with a smile: "If you want to go, you can go home early, I have to take a good rest, the reporter will be here this afternoon." Time to get out of jail."

When Marco heard Tao Xi's promise, he didn't even listen to the words behind him, and ran towards the police booth not far away. As for what Marco did, Tao Xi didn't care, it was nothing more than Consult all the things you want to do in the police station before.

In the early years, when Tao Xi and Marco escaped from the orphanage, they didn’t even dare to ask the police if they lost their way, for fear that the police would ask them for an ID card. The look of this passport hanging around his neck is up to him.
-
Gerry Lively, who was standing at the gate of Prison No. 86, looked back at the gate and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Gerry Lively, who knew everything about him, gave all his valuables to his inmates. Tao Xi, who was standing at the gate of Prison No. 86, seemed to be very familiar with the guards. They chatted eagerly. Gerry Lively didn't rush to bother, but picked up a handful of soil and put it in his pocket.

This was taught to him by his inmates, and this handful of soil was to warn him not to do the same thing again.

Gerry Lively thinks so too~
"You came in from FD. If you can bear it, it doesn't matter if you have this handful of soil!" Tao Xi leaned against the prison wall and looked at Gerry Leifer who was squatting on the ground and was sorting his pockets. Leigh teased.

There was a wry smile on the corner of Gerry Lively's mouth: "Actually, the Jane York you met in San Francisco is messier than me. I'm just unlucky, but I'm sure I won't do stupid things again."

"Do you know Janes York? He's a nice guy." Tao Xi directly commented on the special correspondent based on his feeling.

"He doesn't know you, and you are not familiar with the industry rules. The news leads you sold to him last time are enough for a TV station to make a TV series, but he only gave you 1 dollars. You lost money. If you give it to me, I will I can give you at least $5."

When Tao Xi heard that the difference in the middle was 5 times worse, the joy that he still had after making money suddenly dissipated. Tao Xi was about to say something, and Gerry Lively quickly put his arms around Tao Xi and said: "Janes York is very happy. Excellent, I advise you not to do something out of the ordinary, if you do something, maybe he will trip you up in some places, this time it will be your entry fee."

Tao Xi nodded in agreement, but it's not his style to take this loss so vaguely, and he will have to get it back sooner or later.

"where are we going?"

"WJLA-TV, my old employer, I'm going to move my things, and I'll introduce you to a few of my good friends by the way, to facilitate your future work."

"That would be great! I just like someone with a drive like you."

As a satellite city of Los Angeles, Burbank has always been well-known throughout the United States, because it is known as the "media capital of the world", and the RB "camera equipment" franchise stores and suit stores that can be seen everywhere proclaim the prosperity here.

Once it's night, it becomes a Disneyland, because it's still Disney's base camp.

The most prosperous place Tao Xi has been to is Korea Town. When Tao Xi saw the bustling scene here and the streets full of beauties and handsome men for the first time, Tao Xi was dazzled immediately.

Gerry Lively came here as if he had returned to his home, and introduced to him what famous TV programs and which famous hosts work here in each building here.

"Oh! By the way, do you have any money on you? I need to buy you something very important."

Gerry Lively took all the cash in Tao Xi's hand and took Tao Xi into a store called ABC Camera Equipment. As soon as he entered, Gerry Lively walked directly to the front desk and took it out of his pocket. He took out a press card and put it on the front desk: "Give me a police recorder."

The beauty at the cash register seemed to be very sleepy, just glanced at Gerry Lively's press card, did a simple check-in, and threw a white packing box on the table.

"$1500, you count."

"No reporter from ABC dares to renege on their debt." The beautiful cashier said very arrogantly and put the money into the machine at the cashier.

The two people who walked out of the franchise store squatted on the side of the road like bumpkins, and the passers-by walked around one after another.

It seems that it was because of the time spent in prison, Gerry Lively didn't mind these, but very attentively introduced to Tao Xi how to use the device in his hand.

【Zi La~】

【Zi La~】

[Los Angeles LAPD, No. 16, Moulton Community, Burbank, suspected 207A, needs support, OVER]

[Alarm number 3188 received, on the way. 】

"The name of this device is a police recorder. Its function is to collect all police dispatch information within a radius of ten kilometers. This is a must-have device for every night walker. Of course, you also need to prepare a Car, after all, you can’t run forward when you know the location and news.”

Tao Xi played with this walkie-talkie-like device in his hand with a strange expression. There was also a small green screen on the walkie-talkie, which would blink whenever there was a news push.

[Case 207A is a family dispute, which we are dealing with. 】

When the message just now was repeated again, Tao Xi asked curiously after hearing the conversation inside: "What does 207A mean?"

When Gerry Lively heard Tao Xi's question, he immediately remembered something very important. Gerry Lively went back to the trash can to pick up the box he had just thrown away, and pulled it out of the box A thick piece of paper was handed to Tao Xi: "This piece of paper is the police code number of the police in the United States. Every time this device rings, you need to check the case code to see if it is useful to you. Look for specific useful information based on the station you're on."

"LAPD is the abbreviation of Los Angeles Police Department."

"207A is a suspected kidnapping case. The last time you went to solve the case, you can actually know it through this device. At that time, all the police recorders in San Francisco must be code-named 207."

"If the Los Angeles Police Department sets up a task force for a certain major case, then the name of this code in the police recorder is the police code + date. It is very simple. You will know how to use it if you follow a few more small cases. gone."

Tao Xi kept playing with the police recorder in his hand as if he had gotten a new toy. Although the equipment was expensive, it was indeed very fresh, and according to Gerry Lively, if there were no reporters It will cost a lot of money to buy a certificate!
Soon, the ABC building will arrive. WJLA-TV, as Channel 7 of ABC, is on the 7th floor of this building. It is worth mentioning that the opposite of the ABC building is Disney~
But Tao Xi has long been addicted to playing with the police recorder in his hand, so he doesn't care at all.

"Don't play, don't play, you can play as you want when you go back, there are video equipment everywhere in the building, you must pay attention when I am not in the future, don't offend anyone, there are 8 people in the lobby on the first floor. There is an elevator, but Nightcrawler can't get in, you can only get in through the elevator at the back door, and the elevator there can go directly to any editorial office in the ABC building!"

Gerry Lively introduced Tao Xi while talking, and Tao Xi was like a sponge absorbing knowledge crazily.

Just when Gerry Lively was about to take Taoxi to the "Nightcrawler" special elevator at the back door, two plainly dressed men also walked in, but they had work ID cards hanging around their necks, and Taoxi just wanted to poke his head over Look, one of the young people who didn't look too old took it with his hand.

Gerry Lively glanced at the man disdainfully and complained: "That's a news clue collection agency, you don't need to talk to them."

"News clue collection agency? Does Nightcrawler still have an agency?" Tao Xi asked innocently like a novice. Just as Gerry Lively was about to answer, the young man on the opposite side was holding his work card tightly. Immediately laughed out: "So you are a rookie! Remember that we are Explorer News, and we are the largest news provider of ABC. If you have news in the future, you can sell it to us, and we will charge a high price!"

"How tall?" Tao Xi asked immediately.

But the young man on the opposite side was obviously not interested in talking to Tao Xi. Instead, he kept staring at the elevator floor. When he reached the fourth floor, the elevator door opened, and a woman standing at the entrance of the elevator waited anxiously for something. , when he saw two people with explorer work cards hanging in the elevator, the woman immediately wanted to grab them, but the person who hadn't spoken all this time said directly: "Our exclusive news this time is sold to [Good morning] The United States, [Goodnight World] this time the price is too low."

"We are willing to increase the price!"

"No, thank you." The explorer staff member who hadn't spoken all this time pushed the woman away and closed the elevator with indifference.

Seeing this scene, Tao Xi asked Gerry Lively in surprise, "Is Nightcrawler so powerful?"

"This is just an isolated phenomenon." Gerry Lively muttered with an unswerving smile on his face. The young man opposite was obviously unconvinced and wanted to say something, but after the quiet person glared at him, the young man Also shut up.

Gerry Lively said: "ABC has seven news channels in Los Angeles. What they call [Good Morning America] is national in nature, and [Good Night World] is similar. The WJLA-TV we go to is just It's better known in Washington and Los Angeles."

Tao Xi nodded half-understanding, and the young man on the opposite side burst into laughter when he heard that they were going to WJLA-TV: "A show that is about to be eliminated!"

Gerry Lively was not angry when he heard this, but just rolled his eyes, and the young man on the opposite side said directly: "The opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games didn't even receive the right to be interviewed. What's wrong with you? Convinced."

Gerry Lively didn't get used to the young man's face when he heard the young man push his nose, and he said directly: "Don't talk about others, can you tell me what big news you have had in your hands for so long? I guess it is definitely not A car accident is a case of theft."

The young man seemed to be on fire when Gerry Lively attacked him like this. He jumped in the elevator and reprimanded: "If it wasn't for a stinky detective who came in to disrupt the situation, the big case in San Francisco not long ago must have been mine!"

Gerry Lively became interested immediately when he heard this, and he just wanted to grab Tao Xi's arm and say something.

The elevator had already reached the seventh floor, and Tao Xi also guessed what Gerry Lively was going to say. Tao Xi didn't give him a chance, and slipped directly outside the elevator on the seventh floor. Even the beautiful woman standing at the entrance of the elevator He didn't even look at it.

"Why don't you speak? You have to prove yourself! You are the detective they say!"

"Do you know how to make a fortune in silence? They will all be my competitors in the future!" Tao Xi explained to Gerry Lively in a low voice after wrapping his arms around Gerry Lively and looking around the lively seventh floor.
