nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 49

Dennis Monzon, who drank red wine all night, is still awake with his arms around the Hollywood actress in his arms.

The landline beside his bed kept ringing, and the unknown Hollywood actress in his arms pushed Dennis Monzon, who was unwilling to get up, "Oh, get up and have a look, Who is it?"

Boss Dennis Monzon grunted unhappily for a while and then answered the phone in a daze.

The voice on the phone was in a hurry and there was a trace of panic. Dennis Monzon kept his eyes closed at first, but when he was halfway through the conversation on the phone, Dennis Monzon's bloodshot eyes suddenly opened~
The Hollywood actress who was pushed away muttered dissatisfiedly and stared in bewilderment.

At this moment, Dennis couldn't care less about getting dressed, and got out of bed in a panic, turned on the TV, and frantically searched for the ABC's "Early America" ​​channel.

As ABC's trump card program [Early America], it can be said to be quite awesome, with subscription households in North America reaching more than 1700 million households.

The ratings are comparable to NBC's "Today".

In the early 80s.

[Good Morning America] even surpassed NBC's ace program [Today Show], and got the first ratings of American morning shows. From here, we can see the extraordinary influence of [Good Morning America] up.

In the American media
Everyone who loves the news loves to say that the host of a certain news show has changed again, and I will never watch it again.

But from the perspective of journalists, the most important thing is not whether the host is good-looking or not, but how high-quality the news sources and channels you have in your hands!

When Dennis Monzon found the news channel [Good Morning America], a very eye-catching banner [Crisis of Trust in the Los Angeles City Police] was posted above the news interface of [Good Morning America]!
The moment he saw this title, the hairs on Dennis Monzon's back stood up.

Because there is a lot of content in this title that can be chewed. Usually, when a person calls [Los Angeles Police Department], they like to call it [Los Angeles Police Department], but this title uses [State Police] and [City Police] It's perfectly separated, just the words "City Police" can show that the headline of this news is not pure!
[Good Morning America] on TV is currently showing the scene of the exchange of gunfire between the police and robbers that day, and the well-known ABC news anchor Peter Jennings is doing various things to [Long Beach Bombing]. Various analysis.

But what really surprised Dennis Monzon was that the scene on TV was not the same as the full version that was broadcast on Fox News not long ago.

Because the shooting of the scenes inside can be said to be immersive, even the scenes of individual coast guard patrol boats are not only clearly visible, but even the face of Sercy Anthony, who is already throwing homemade explosives at them, can be seen clearly!

Seeing this, Dennis Monzon suddenly thought of the white unidentified floating object that appeared on the radar that day and the reporter who was besieged by a speedboat and hung in mid-air!
Originally, Dennis Monzon thought that the reporter was dead at first, but Dennis Monzon, who saw the news on TV, suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Hey, help me find the files of the Long Beach bombing." Dennis Monzon didn't care at all when he heard the messy voice on the subordinate's phone, but anxiously waited for the reply on the other end of the phone.

When it was shown on the TV that the people on the speedboat had successfully boarded the ship and asked people to search for things on the ship, the news host Peter Jennings directly asked the news audience in front of the TV a question.

"Actually, that day, the Director of the Coast Guard Patrol Division, Dennis Monzon, only said that Sergey Anthony was a gang member, and that he had dissatisfaction with the chief mate and other management personnel during working hours on the ship, and that he also robbed South Africa during the period. Part of the video obtained from our channel shows that the team of speedboats that accidentally broke into the tanker did not rescue Serge Anthony the first time they landed on the tanker, but were looking for something on the tanker!"

"So I want to ask Superintendent Dennis Monzon across the TV, what are the people on this speedboat looking for on the tanker?"

Dennis Monzon saw the news host Peter Jennings' questions on TV, and Dennis suddenly felt that the whole sky was dark. Dennis suddenly remembered the questions Jeffrey Kyle asked him at the banquet last night.

The telephones, pagers, and landlines in the house kept telling Dennis that many people were dissatisfied with him as if they had been ignited by a match.
-
The first thought in Tausi's mind when he looked at Jeffrey Kyle sitting in his RV was surprise!
As the warden of Prison 86 in Los Angeles, Tao Xi met him more than once, but every time the two met, they ignored each other's existence tacitly.

But Tao Xi knew one thing, that is, Jeffrey Kyle had a close relationship with his godfather Bolton, because the young and frivolous Tao Xi once used his skills to walk around Prison 86 as if no one was there.

Looking at this matter now, if there is no acquiescence of Jeffrey Kyle, those alarm bells are enough to make him stay in the juvenile detention center until he comes out as an adult.

"I really can't figure it out. You've been living a good life recently, why you still live in the sewer." Jeffrey Kyle took the lead in breaking the situation where the two were looking at each other.

Tao Xi looked up at Jeffrey and replied seriously: "The sewer is my home, and I feel safe."

Jeffrey Kyle saw Nilta outside the car with a worried expression on his face, waved at him and shouted, "Give me a taste of your hot dog."

Tausi waited for Geoffrey Kyle's sentencing like a monkey when he saw Nilta get in the car.

"Well, it's good. When the time comes, go to the Los Angeles Police Department to sign a contract with me. From now on, you will be responsible for the supper at the Los Angeles Police Department."

Nilta didn't agree immediately when she heard this sentence, but glanced at Tao Xi and waited for Tao Xi's answer.

"What? This [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] is your business?"

"I have paid taxes normally, and all my income is legal. You don't need to show off with me." Tao Xi said impatiently when he heard Jeffrey Kyle's aggressive interrogation .

"Oh, I really have a bad temper with Bolton!" Jeffrey smiled when he saw that Tao Xi finally couldn't bear his temper, and Jeffrey threw a kraft paper file bag into Tao Xi's arms: "Go to Burbank has something to do again, don’t rush to conflict with others, you are a person who came out of the sewer, you have to be good at using your advantages, you were lucky to meet the only black policeman in Burbank that time, if If you meet a white man who goes to the police, maybe I have to go to the hospital to see you!"

Tao Xi looked at the passports of him and Marco in the kraft paper file bag with a puzzled expression.

"Lules! Contact him later. He is responsible for the security of Burbank. The company called Explorer recently had its driver's license revoked for unsafe driving."

"Okay thanks, is there anything I need to do? Like the tape behind the Long Beach bombing?"

Tao Xi reacted very quickly, because his godfather Bolton once told him that no one in this world will treat you nicely for no reason, if this person suddenly treats you nicely, then he must have other plans for you !
"Oh, it really was educated by Bolton, no matter who it is, there is a sense of strangeness to everyone."

"Bring me the video. You can't bear the pressure later on. I'll let the person who gets the video later make it up to you."

After Jeffrey Kyle finished saying this, he also showed a piece of his background investigation file and a photo of him appearing at the scene of the [Long Beach Bombing] at the time, and then let Taoxi look at it and lit it with a lighter. .

Tao Xi turned his head and glanced at Marco who had been sitting in the cab without speaking. Marco reacted quickly. He immediately took out two video tapes from the cabinet in the cab and handed them to Jeffrey Kyle.

"Yes, Nightcrawler is a good profession, and you are also very talented. Maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future."

Geoffrey Kyle waved the video tape in his hand and was about to get out of the car and suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, you should also take a break during this period, don't be too arrogant, Bolton may not have taught you, I tell you You, a qualified businessman, must learn to make a fortune in silence!"

Tausi let out a heavy breath when he saw Geoffrey Kyle leaving in an old Ford.

"Is that all we gave him? We sold those two videos for $2!"

Tao Xi looked at the Ford car in the distance and was silent for a long time before saying: "It's good to make a fortune in silence, we are only responsible for shooting, as for what we can get in the future, the final result has nothing to do with us, does it? ?”

"But."

Tao Xi casually flipped through the TV on the RV and saw the [Los Angeles Police Department News Falsification] incident everywhere, Tao Xi patted Marco on the shoulder with a smile on his face and comforted him: "Anyway, at least we will no longer It’s a poor man who is blinded by falsehood, isn’t he? Well, we’ve worked hard recently, and I invite you to Chinatown to eat your favorite Kung Pao Chicken.”

"yeah!"

"You don't know, the bathroom in the RV smells like hot dogs recently. Nelson taught those people how to make hot dogs recently. He keeps giving us those badly made hot dogs. I'm really fed up!"

Nilta didn't know when he got into the RV and complained with a bad expression on his face: "Marco, there are many RB expatriates near the newsstand in the San Francisco Bay Area. In order to fit in with the tastes of those people, Nelson let me taste his Mustard hot dogs, my ass is burning right now."

The three people in the RV were very tacit at this time, and no one mentioned the things that Jeffrey Kyle just talked about in the car.

In the entire Los Angeles metropolitan area, there are three places that can be called Chinatowns. Among them, the most populous and largest is Jackson Street on Stockton Avenue in San Francisco.

However, because of the distance between Tao Xi and Marco, the Chinatown they often go to is Spring Street on Broadway, which is also known as Chinatown.

Chinatown in Los Angeles has experienced three changes in history, and the history here is the longest.

Marco's familiarity with this place is no less than that of the American-Australian community. When the RV just drove here, a few huge Chinese characters came into view. The Chinese restaurants, Buddhist temples and lion dances that can be seen everywhere reveal various All kinds of Chinese cultural atmosphere.

After years of development, Chinatown is no longer a Chinese residential area in the traditional sense. After decades of development, it has long since become a Chinese commercial district with a very strong commercial atmosphere. Mexicans, whites, and Chinese can be seen everywhere on the streets. It makes the whole Chinatown look very lively.

"The law and order here is really good!" Nilta said, looking at the environment here with envy.

In the United States, if you want to know whether the neighborhood you are in is prosperous, everyone knows to see if there are many traffic lights on this street. This is a little trick that every real estate agent will tell you. The more traffic lights, it means your The higher the price.

"That's for sure. I remember when I first came here, people here were still protesting against the government to strengthen the traffic lights around here." Tao Xi said with a look of reminiscence.

"Wow, it seems that you often come here too."

Marco agreed with indifference: "Yes, the Chinese here like to save money."

A [Chengdu Cuisine] located at the corner of Chinatown appeared in Tao Xi's vision. As soon as Marko parked the car, Tao Xi got out of the car and walked in with a happy face.

"Hey! Master Li, I want a sweet Kung Pao Chicken." Tao Xi yelled towards the door of the restaurant before he walked in.

A middle-aged uncle with a chef's hat on his head was surprised and teased Tao Xi when he saw Tao Xi get off from a caravan: "Look, our little Tao Xi came here in a caravan." Yes, I told old Gnar a long time ago that you will definitely be successful when you grow up."

When Marco walked in, he also shouted to Master Li: "As usual, I want to eat tea eggs, which taste great."

Without waiting for the waiter to hand over the menu, Master Li skillfully picked up the spatula and began to operate. The TV in the restaurant was still playing the flip of "Long Beach Explosion".

But neither Taoxi nor Marco spoke, only Nierta looked around curiously.

After a while, three servings of Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl were served, but the rice, vegetables and drinks were served separately.

"Come on, come and have a taste. I have recently improved my food. Recently, there are more Mexicans on the street. I want to see if you can give me some advice."
