nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 58

Marco, who was sitting in the cab, was absent-mindedly holding the newspaper in his hand.

If it wasn't for the fact that the newspaper in his hand was reversed, maybe he could really fool others.

From the corner of his eye, Marco glanced at the woman who had lived in their RV for 2 days in the rearview mirror of the RV from time to time.

That woman's name is Sophie, and Marco is Sophie's secretary for these two days.

Yes, Sophie gave him a job, and Sophie also told him that only big bosses can have the position of secretary.

If this person's ability is not good, he can't be a secretary!
Secretary work is very tiring~
As for his brother?Tao Xi hadn't appeared in the RV since carrying Sophie, who had fallen asleep, to the RV that night and settled him down.

And that Sophie, who was pretty and had a nice voice, never took the initiative to ask where his brother had gone.

It's just that Marco discovered that this woman didn't like watching TV or reading newspapers. Every day, she was in a daze and giggled. There was one time when Marco accompanied her to see her foot injury, Sophie even took the initiative to talk to him. It sounded like his brother Tao How did Sy and Marco grow up!
Of course, Marco can't tell him this kind of problem, this kind of thing is a secret.

Tao Xi had already told him and Hill when they were very young, don't easily tell others their old background, who knows what they will do if they meet their former enemies.

While Marco was still observing the woman, the woman suddenly moved!

"Marco! I'm hungry. I'll go to Nelson for a hot dog!" Sophie walked down the car step by step while holding the small environment of the RV.

When Marco saw Sophie moving, he stood up and said, "Can I help you get it? Nelson has recently researched a jam, which is great. I can get you a copy too."

Sophie Marceau looked at this "little spy" and planned to stare at herself again. Sophie Marceau smiled at Marco quickly: "No, no, I plan to take a stroll by the way."

"Okay, okay, my brother prepared a walking stick for you at the hot dog shop, you can see if it works, and I'll tell him if it doesn't work."

Sophie Marceau heard that Marco mentioned his brother Taoxi.

The corner of Sophie Marceau's mouth turned up uncontrollably, but soon Sophie let out a soft "hum" and walked slowly towards the caravan.

Sophie was scheduled to leave here on Marco's motorcycle the morning she woke up.

At that time, Sophie refused sternly, because Pierce's son was kidnapped and there is still no news. Anyway, Sophie used this reason to reject Tao Xi, who didn't even show his face.

From then on, Marco was like a follower, no matter where she went, Marco followed wherever she went.

Fortunately, Marco is not as talkative as Tao Xi. Sophie can always get all kinds of information about Tao Xi from his mouth, such as orphans, three brothers, night walkers, recent days Just get better and wait.

And Sophie also found out that this person named Tao Xi is not a bad person. Anyone who knows Tao Xi in the community will say that Tao Xi is a good person. The department stores knew him, and everyone spoke ill of him.

The favorite saying of those who seem to be old is: "Tao Xi is a good boy, but his life is not good!"

Sophie wanted to know more about it, but Marco, who was like a follower, stared at him warily every time.

Fortunately, the man named Nelson was a chatterbox, and within a few words, he blushed and explained Tao Xi's previous story clearly.

"Nelson, have some chicken wings and some ketchup."

When Nelson saw Sophie's plain face, his cheeks flushed instantly, because this French woman dared to say anything, and she could tease him so much that she felt ashamed every time.

Although there are many such women in the American-Australian community, there are not many women as beautiful as her who dare to speak like this.

"Okay, I'll do it for you!"

Sophie Marceau was very happy looking down at the brand-new crutch. Although she didn't know why, she was very happy when she learned that this crutch was given to her by Tao Xi.

Sophie smiled and waved the walking stick in her hand and asked curiously, "Hey, Nelson, didn't Tao Xi come today?"

When Nelson heard Sophie take the initiative to talk to him, his hands froze for a moment, but soon Nelson replied while manipulating the hot dog in his hand: "He's gone to the police station."

"what?"

"Police station?"

"Did something happen?"

Sophie Marceau was inexplicably flustered with a faint smile on her face, and she even threw the walking stick in her hand to the ground.

After that rainy night, Sophie Marceau had long forgotten her original intention of sending Tao Xi to the Los Angeles Police Station.

Even the grievances that Pierce and his son have suffered have been forgotten. In fact, sometimes it is very simple to make a woman feel good about you after being moved.

If Adams was here, maybe he would feel that Tao Xi is a man with his own "magnetism". If a woman really tries to get to know Tao Xi slowly, she will definitely be attracted by Tao Xi's unique past and ruffian personality. Attracted!

It's a pity that Sophie Marceau met Tao Xi who was very in control of herself.

"Nothing happened, I'm going to find your bag for you, check if you lost anything in your bag!"

Sophie Marceau happily turned her head to look at the familiar voice behind her, but there was a scene where Sophie couldn't laugh. Pierce's big fat son and Pierce walked towards Sophie with happy faces past.

"Miss Sophie, thank you, really thank you, my son is back, I knew it would be useful to find you."

"But don't wrong Mr. Tao Xi. According to Superintendent Jeffrey's investigation, Mr. Tao Xi has nothing to do with this matter."

"I was also sponsored by Mr. Tausi, he gave me $3 in compensation, I really appreciate you."

Sophie Marceau looked embarrassed and prepared to help Pierce up, but Pierce's enthusiasm made it difficult for Sophie to resist for a while, and Tao Xi also stood 2 meters away from her and did not pass.

In fact, the fact that Sophie Marceau was Pierce and his son on the first day she woke up in the RV must have nothing to do with him.

When Marco was chatting with a restaurant owner who lived in Chinatown, Sophie overheard a sentence~
"Tao Xi hasn't been in contact with those people whose backgrounds are unclear?"

"Master Li, how could it be possible not to keep in touch? Tao Xi is the godson of the Blood Gang! No matter how much Uncle Bolton protects Tao Xi, those people will always do things for Tao Xi according to their own understanding."

Sophie, who returned to the RV that night, was crazily aware of the existence of [Blood Gang].

As for the godson?

Sophie has seen the classic Hollywood movie [The Godfather]. Sophie is not a fool. Sophie guessed what happened that night.

Seeing that Sophie finally looked at him, Tao Xi quickly pulled Superintendent Geoffrey Kyle, who was followed by several policemen, to Sophie Marceau and introduced: "Well, this is "

"Hello, Dear Ms. Sophie Marceau, I am Jeffrey Kyle, Chief of the Robbery-Murder Division of the Los Angeles Police Department. It is a pleasure to meet you in the beautiful city of Los Angeles."

"Me too, just." Sophie Marceau pointed to Tao Xi suspiciously and then pointed to him and asked cautiously.

Jeffrey Kyle just smiled slightly when he saw this scene: "Oh! This Mr. Taoxi is your informant. If it weren't for this Mr. Taoxi, we might not have caught the police that night so quickly. Don’t worry about the bastards who robbed your money, we’ve already caught those bastards, I’m here hoping to ask you to go to the police station with us to make a record and claim your personal finances.”

Sophie Marceau just wanted to raise her head and say something to Tao Xi, but found that Tao Xi had disappeared without knowing when!

"Miss Sophie, please come with us."

Sophie Marceau looked at the two policewomen supporting her on the left and right, and Marco, who was standing beside her wearing a brand-new women's attire, couldn't help it immediately: "Tausi! Just avoid me! Sooner or later I can find you!"

It was already twelve o'clock at night when Sophie Marceau finished taking notes.

When Sophie Marceau breathed a sigh of relief and just wanted to get up, she went to the American-Australian community to settle accounts with Tao Xi. Andre Zuraski had already taken his assistant director and stood at the gate of the police station waiting for her. up.

"Sophie, I've been really busy the past few days. If it wasn't for the notification from the police station, I really wouldn't know that such a big thing happened to you."

"But Superintendent Geoffrey Kyle is really good. Not only did he help me unseal the crew, he also helped us arrange a few permanent policemen near the crew."

"I believe those dregs of society will definitely not come again in the future!"

Just when Andre Zuraski wanted to hug Sophie Marceau as usual, Sophie Marceau avoided it with an unnatural expression: "Director Andre, I sprained my foot, I don't need you to help me, I'll go by myself."

Pierce just stared at him, pretending not to see this scene.

When he saw that Sophie Marceau wanted to get into her own nanny car with his help, Pierce went up to help with great insight.

Andre Zuraski took a blank look and walked towards Pierce's nanny car as if he was okay.

Jeffrey Kyle, who was sitting in the car, glanced at Tao Xi, who was depressed in the co-pilot, and said calmly: "If you want, maybe you can be a father on your birthday."

"You fart!"

After Jeffrey Kyle saw the nanny car leaving, he took the initiative to roll down the car glass and handed Taoxi a cigarette.

Just when Tao Xi was about to refuse, Jeffrey Kyle said with a smile: "Take one, maybe you will feel better if you do this. If you are under a lot of pressure, you may wish to chat with me, maybe I can I have a lot of advice for you."

Tao Xi took a puff of cigarette and coughed violently for a while, Jeffrey Kyle saw Tao Xi's eyes fixed on the rearview mirror of the car, just laughed "hehehe" and did not speak again.

When the cigarettes in both men's hands were exhausted, Jeffrey took the initiative to speak.

"It's hard to believe how many things are hidden in your heart. That Granger was almost killed by you."

"I met Uncle Bolton, and Uncle Bolton said I was doing the right thing, everyone should have something to do."

Jeffrey Kyle laughed out loud when he heard Tao Xi's words: "Heh, he's already failed enough, and he still teaches you these principles of life? It's not bad that he taught you boxing!"

"Give me another cigarette!" Tao Xi took the initiative to ask Jeffrey Kyle for a cigarette this time. After lighting the cigarette, Tao Xi took a deep breath, but this time Tao Xi didn't cough anymore .

"I granted Emilio Adams' request."

Jeffrey Kyle nodded approvingly when he heard Tao Xi's words and replied: "Well, the Adams family is very powerful, and it will be helpful to you after getting to know him, but the asking price of 170 million US dollars is too small."

Tao Xi didn't think too much when he heard Jeffrey Kyle's words, but he got out of the car and stamped out the cigarette he had just finished smoking before saying: "I don't want anything that isn't mine, I don't want it. Just take my share!"

"Women too?"

"Would you rather watch a 19-year-old girl be taken away by an old man my age?"

When Tao Xi heard Jeffrey Kyle's words, his footsteps froze for a moment, but soon Tao Xi left without saying a word.

Jeffrey Kyle looked at Taoxi tonight through the rearview mirror, which was far less chic than before. Jeffrey Kyle smiled at himself in the rearview mirror, shook his head and drove away.

Marco watched Tao Xi come back from the police station for almost seven hours, but Tao Xi suffered from insomnia for the first time.

This is the first time in the years that Marco has known Tao Xi!

Marco looked at Tao Xi who was tossing and turning on the RV bed and couldn't fall asleep, and Marco couldn't help complaining: "Tao Xi, what happened to you? I found out that you have been like this since that woman came!"

Tao Xi sat up suddenly.

"What are you doing!"

"Go to the sewer to sleep!" Tao Xi replied dissatisfiedly, and Marco walked towards the sewer with the radio on the table.

Marco looked at Tao Xi's leaving back and muttered dissatisfiedly, lay down on the bed and fell asleep with a "huhu".

After a while, Marco fell asleep.

But Tao Xi, who returned to the sewer, could not sleep for life and death. Tao Xi looked down at the radio in his arms and complained angrily: "How do you think I can earn 57 francs quickly?"
