nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 7

When Tausi saw the man named McCann by Loll leaving the newsstand cursingly, Tausi realized that McCann was the well-known local businessman in Los Angeles County, McCann Reese, who was mentioned on the radio.

It’s just that I don’t know why this McCann Rice still didn’t buy those “lotto tickets”~
"I'll bet you that poor guy who got laid off from the gas station is going home for something that could threaten someone's life by now."

Tao Xi looked back at the pickpocket Nierta who was squatting on the curb and couldn't help but stare at him with a puzzled expression~
"Don't be surprised, I am also a person who owns a car. Anyone who has worked in the [US-Australian community] knows him. He is a well-known corrupt criminal in this community!"

"Other fuelers may embezzle you a penny when you refuel, add up to a lot, and take the money back to improve the lives of your family, but he? Heh, he may embezzle you for a dollar, your car The worse he is, the harder he will cheat you, if some luxury cars pass by, he will not dare to do anything!"

"Not long ago, he was beaten by someone when he was refueling, and he was reported to the gas station supervisor. So now he is here again to apply for a job, but I don't know why he didn't go to jail."

Tao Xi couldn't help being stunned when he heard Nilta's words!
Now that what McCann Reese said on the radio is 30% correct, it means that one of McCann Reese and Nilta lied, but Nilta and him and that McCann Ray How did McCann Reese get those lottery tickets and newspapers in the end?

"Why are you interested in him? Is he also part of our plan?"

"Ah?" Tao Xi shook his head and smiled when he heard Nilta's words and explained: "I just want to come here and copy some job information from the newspaper to see if there is any place where Marco and I can find a job, by the way Buy some more lottery tickets."

When talking about buying lottery tickets, Tao Xi's voice became much softer unconsciously.
When Nilta heard Tao Xi's words, he immediately mocked with disdain: "Don't be joking, Tao Xi, just say something casually, Bolton will definitely be willing to help you get a job outside the prison, not to mention that you are still a criminal now. , even if you win the lottery, the damn US government will deport you to Mexico to mine coal!"

"Winning the lottery and needing a U.S. citizen?"

"Of course, you don't have to pay taxes if you win $5! If you win more than $2000, you need to go to the IRS tax application office to claim the prize!" Nilta explained to Taoxi while reaching out from the pocket of a passing pedestrian. Li skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes. If someone saw this wave of flowing movements, they would definitely applaud him. Reis crouched in a blind corner of the newsstand with a bulging bag in his arms, looking at the surrounding environment with mischievous eyebrows.

Nilta turned Tao Xi's head directly after seeing McCann Reis's eyes: "He is the first step towards crime. If I guessed correctly, he must be waiting for the street lights to turn on. Attack Longer when you wake up!"

"He dares to kill?"

Nilta glanced at McCann Reis not far away and said disdainfully, "Murder? No, no, it's stealing!"

"Oh? Then let's play tricks and eat tricks!"

When Nilta heard Tao Xi say this, he became energetic instantly. He even threw the cigarette in his hand to his feet indifferently and said, "Really! Do you need me to call for someone from the Blood Gang, you know Tausi, they will definitely be in your name"

"No no no, I just want something I want and I can save $40 to buy a lottery ticket."

When Nilta heard Tao Xi's words, he immediately lost interest. Nilta's originally tense body instantly slumped on the ground like a deflated ball.

Seeing this scene, Tao Xi patted Nilta, who was taller than him: "Hey! Can you be a little promising, I'm taking you to the right path, and let you stand upright and live under the sun!"

Nierta didn't respond when she heard Tao Xi's words, but walked around looking at the fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.

While Tao Xi was bored waiting for the action of McCann Reis, who was squatting in the corner of Wal-Mart Plaza, the little old man whom Tao Xi called Grandpa Lun finally dragged his slightly fat body from the news stand Inside stood up.

Newsstand sales was a lucrative business in the 70s and 80s in the United States. If your newsstand can sell some snacks or own a Coca-Cola vending machine, you may earn more~
But Loll's newsstand is obviously not like this, so it is not very realistic for him to be open 24 hours a day.

When the heavy rolling shutter protective door was closed, Long Er staggered towards the parking lot of Wal-Mart shopping plaza and drove away his car~
After seeing the familiar yellow car driving away, McCann Reese acted~
"Oh, it looks like he is a novice, let's go." Nilta drove away the mosquitoes with his hands impatiently, and took Tao Xi behind him to leave here. Tao Xi also knew that they would continue to stay. It's not the right place, and all they need to do now is wait for a stick in the back of the head of McCann Reese in the way he must go.

McCann Reis moved very slowly. When Nilta had finished smoking all the packs of cigarettes he had taken from other people's pockets, a man who wrapped himself tightly appeared in the place where Tao Xi and the others were waiting. At the entrance of this alley~
Because of the remoteness of this alley, there are no street lights. When Tao Xi wanted to confirm whether the figure walking in was McCann Reiss, Nilta picked up the baseball bat in his hand with experience and pointed at it. McCann Reese goes.

Just as Taoxi was about to reach out to stop him, Nierta said, "Hey, boy, put down the bag in your hand, I might not send you to the police station!"

Before Nilta finished speaking, the guilty black figure directly threw the bag in his hand towards Nilta and ran out of the alley~
"Pick it up, I'll chase it!" Nierta also moved quickly, but Tao Xi didn't say anything, but went to the bag very obediently and picked it up.

The bag looks very delicate~
But Tao Xi, who has long been familiar with the darkness, did not go under the street lamp to see what was in the bag, but opened his eyes and searched in the pocket seriously, except for some fragments of dollar bills. In addition, Tao Xi quickly touched the "Lotto lottery ticket" he was thinking of!
"1 sheets"

"2 sheets"

"3 sheets"

"."

"Oh, my God, these damn rich people really dare to say anything in front of the media, and what they say is no different from that group of **** bastards, there is truth and falsehood!"

Tao Xi seemed to have opened a door to a new world and kept babbling about something, but the heavy panting still revealed Tao Xi's uneasy heart, because there were really 6 "Lotto tickets"!
After returning, Nilta dragged McCann Reis, who had been motionless on the ground for a long time.

Tao Xi was not surprised to see the man on the ground who didn't know if it was McCann Reis, but said to Nilta: "Let's go, I think it might be better if we tied him in Longer's newsstand .”

Nierta just panted heavily and didn't say much, but followed Tao Xi's ass.

After finishing the work last night, Tao Xi didn't feel any discomfort.

And he was bewitched again by Nilta when he was leaving~
Nilta said Tausi was born to be a bad guy!
It's just that Tao Xi didn't pay attention to him, but tied the Mr. McCann Reis, who claimed to be a good man in the future tape recorder, to the street lamp at the entrance of the messy newsstand that he had already destroyed with his pliers~
After saying goodbye to Nilta yesterday.

Tao Xi fought back his drowsiness and returned to his residence.

After returning to the residence, Tao Xi waited expectantly for the sound of the radio~
When Tao Xi found that no matter how he operated the radio, the radio that was making sound yesterday no longer sounded at all~
Tao Xi didn't care about the drowsiness that kept sweeping over him. After Tao Xi silently said: "To be a man, you must know how to be content." After that, Tao Xi first hid the radio under the cabinet where he put his money in the first place~
Within a few minutes, Tao Xi fell asleep soundly.

Although Tao Xi woke up, he didn't see Marko and Hill back, but he believed that Mr. Williams would take good care of those two silly boys.

As for the six lottery tickets, Tao Xi did not rush to scratch them off.

“Good food is never too late”

If Tao Xi didn't even have this bit of patience, he felt that he must have died in the sewer long ago.

After getting up early in the morning, Tao Xi first took his cigarette butts to the trading entrance of Prison No. 86 again. When the familiar slogan sounded, Tao Xi was still proficient in arranging the relatively long cigarette butts neatly one by one, So that the other end of the drain can better pick the goods~
"Damn it, Bolton was locked in the small black room, and that kid didn't come either!"

"Are you here? Taxi! Taxi!"

Tao Xi couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the discussion on the other side of the drain and the "Taxi" accent with a Latin American accent: "Hey! Hey! Hey! You damn nigger, didn't your parents teach Don't you speak ill of others behind their backs!"

"You're here! I thought you didn't come today! Give me 10 cigarette butts!" A big hand with a tattoo grabbed a handful of coins and poked it down~
Tao Xi held the very smooth wooden stick in his hand and stretched it out. After receiving the ten cents, Tao Xi also sent up the cigarette butt in his hand: "Uncle Bolton is locked in the small black room again Yet?"

"Yeah, those Mexicans who just came in from the outside were a little disobedient, and the boss just taught them a lesson."

After Tao Xi heard this sentence, he nodded in agreement.

When the butts in his bottle are getting less and less, the last guest from Prison 86 also completes the deal with Tao Xi~
"bell bell"

The assembly bell of the prison rang again, but Tao Xi did not leave in a hurry. Tao Xi counted the money in his hand while listening to the voice of the prisoners in the prison overhead~
When Tao Xi counted to "60" cents, the smile on Tao Xi's face increased.

Tao Xi, who got up and was about to leave, suddenly gurgled in his stomach. Only then did Tao Xi realize that he hadn't eaten anything all day and night except for a hamburger for his birthday that night.

"Oh, damn long body, I really can't figure out why people eat! Is it to make them excrete after eating?" Tao Xi complained in a low voice, and then walked towards the direction he came from.

With a 60-cent coin in his pocket, Tao Xi walked towards the sewers that the American-Australian community must pass through with a satisfied face.

When Tao Xi passed by [Mei'ao Paper] and saw [Mei'ao Paper] staff on the street, they didn't know when the black plastic drainage pipe was artificially thrown off from the top again~
Tao Xi didn't curse anymore, and Tao Xi, with his hands on his hips, nodded in satisfaction after looking at the pool of dirty water in front of him~
The water pipe extending from the ground to the sewer is still emitting sewage from time to time~
Tao Xi, who repeated his old tricks, took the trouble to hold piles of rubbish again and dumped them inward.

And Tao Xi, who is practice makes perfect, will throw the pile of rubbish in his arms towards the sewer outlet~
"17 time!"

"18 time!"

"19 time!"

"20 time!"

When a pool full of sewage was covered with a layer of garbage again, Tao Xi proudly pointed to the sewage outlet of the sewage pipe and said, "You damn capitalists will be taught a lesson by you, Mr. Tao Xi, sooner or later!"

Wal-Mart Plaza is very lively today, with police patrolling constantly everywhere.

When a policeman with a walkie-talkie passed by Tao Xi speaking very professional police terminology, Tao Xi's state did not look like an illegal sewer resident without household registration at all.

Tao Xi, who thought he knew the police very well, instead walked to places where there were many police officers.

Whenever a policeman scans him with scrutiny~
Tausi would imitate Hill and show a very shy smile.

Soon, the place where Tao Xi and Nilta committed the crime last night appeared in his field of vision~
But Tao Xi did not go up to inquire about the news immediately, but stood on tiptoe at the edge of a crowd and looked at the group of people who were interviewing Longer.

The interviews of that group of people are not the same as the reporters in Tao Xi’s impression. The reporter’s interview scene in Tao Xi’s impression should be that there is a news car with an antenna parked not far away~
A beautiful host with blond hair is holding a microphone and wearing a knee-length skirt, exuding a seductive youthful atmosphere, doing her work.

The surrounding cameras and video cameras are constantly blooming with various flashlights~
But the two people standing in front of old man Longer looked very wretched~
