Chapter 293 You Have to Give Money to Drink Coffee

Chapter 293 You Have to Give Money to Drink Coffee
The next morning, several people met again in Chen Jianqiu's room.

"Try it on, sample clothes, I don't know if they fit." Hanif took some clothes and threw them on Chen Jianqiu's bed.

He went to several stores and finally found the finished clothes at Mrs. Lisa Clothing Store.

Blazer, vest, bow tie, white shirt, bowler hat,

Everyone changed in turn.

Except for Sean, everyone else looks very heroic and very handsome.

But when the skin was on Sean's body, it looked a little weird.

"Am I too thin?" the black man asked uneasily, fiddling with the collar and hem of his clothes.

"Temperament problem." Hanif adjusted his bow tie.

"Um, Xiao En, otherwise you should not go." Chen Jianqiu looked Xiao En up and down, always feeling indescribable.

"It's okay." Xiao En simply took off the clothes, and he looked at Chen Jianqiu, "Then what am I doing during the day?"

"Follow me." Chen Jianqiu said.

Others who were still arranging their clothes looked at Chen Jianqiu with puzzled expressions.

"Aren't you going?" Wyatt asked.

"It's too conspicuous for people with yellow skin to appear in Pinkerton Detective Agency." Chen Jianqiu shook his head.

"Didn't you say that your senior brother is inside now?" Hanif suddenly remembered the information Chen Jianqiu had told them during breakfast.

"The people in Pinkerton will never trust us Chinese. At most, they will treat us as a peripheral thug. They will probably not let them participate in investigating such things." Chen Jianqiu said,

"Moreover, Li Shiri is the only Chinese in Pinkerton, San Francisco. Pretending to be him is not the right choice."

He walked up to Wyatt, took out three Pinkerton medals from his pocket, and stuffed them into Wyatt's hand.

"While stepping on the field, help me find the information about Li Shiri, then write it down, and tell me." Chen Jianqiu said in Wyatt's ear.

When he came last time, he felt that his senior brother was weird, combined with the information he got from meeting Huang Qingyun this time.

Chen Jianqiu has a conjecture that needs to be confirmed.

The three of Wyatt led the way.

Seeing the backs of the three leaving, Xiao En looked at Chen Jianqiu: "Boss, what are we going to do then?"

"Go and meet my senior brother."

Chen Jianqiu took out a wallet from his pocket, and Xiao En saw that he "borrowed" it from that Pinkerton detective last night.

Chen Jianqiu handed the wallet to Xiao En: "Find a suitable opportunity to return the things to others. If there is a loan, it is not difficult to borrow again."

He whispered a few words in the black man's ear, and Sean understood it, and set off first.

And Chen Jianqiu also walked out of the room and left the hotel.

……

Li Shiri was on his way to the office of the Pinkerton Detective Agency at this time.

Since joining Pinkerton, he has walked this road from Chinatown to work every day,
He provided the person in charge of Pinkerton with information about his junior brother Chen Changluo, and said that this person was a traitor on the other side of the ocean, and was most likely the initiator of the pier fire.

Detective Pinkerton's head in San Francisco was initially very interested in this information, but as time went on, the line of investigation progressed slowly.

Li Shiri didn't find anything, and there were a few more Chinese workers' lives in his hands.

Over time, the person in charge gradually lost his patience and ignored the yellow-skinned Chinese.

If it wasn't for the fact that this person was very skilled, he would have kicked this person out of the detective agency long ago.

Therefore, he has been thinking about making some big news, so that he can raise his head in the detective agency.

"Li Shiri!"

Just as he was thinking wildly with his head down, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

Li Shiri raised his head.

His heart tightened suddenly.

The "junior brother" he was thinking about day and night - Chen Jianqiu, was standing at a street corner not far away, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother, are you safe?" Chen Jianqiu waved at him.

Li Shiri looked around.

This is not Chinatown, there are many pedestrians coming and going on the road, if you do something here, I am afraid it is not suitable.

He changed his mind, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards Chen Jianqiu with a smile on his face:
"Junior brother, why didn't you say goodbye last time, I still want to have a good chat with you."

Chen Jianqiu also had a smile on his lips: "It's too late to talk now, let's find a cafe."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward along the street.

Li Shiri followed behind.

He kept observing the surrounding environment and Chen Jianqiu who was leading the way.

But along the way, it seems that there are always bad opportunities.

They soon came to a cafe.

Chen Jianqiu turned in.

"Two cups of original coffee, without sugar, thank you." Without consulting Li Shiri, he found a seat next to the ear of the glass window and said to the waiter at the bar.

The waiter began to grind the coffee beans, and Li Shiri sat down opposite Chen Jianqiu.

However, before he could speak, Chen Jianqiu spoke first.

"Brother, I heard that you joined the Pinkerton Detective Agency?" He asked casually.

Li Shiri was taken aback.

Chen Jianqiu pointed to the badge on his chest: "Brother, don't be surprised, I know them very well."

Li Shiri was even more sure that his junior had an inseparable relationship with the previous arson case at the pier.

But he still didn't show his face: "Have you dealt with them?"

Chen Jianqiu nodded: "It's not just that we have dealt with each other before, but we have a lifelong friendship."

Li Shiri's mind was running fast, thinking about what Chen Jianqiu said.

"They never trusted us, they just used us as a tool, a tool at the bottom." Chen Jianqiu said, "Just like you are now."

Li Shiri's face finally became gloomy: "Junior brother, why did you come here today to tell me these things?"

"Brother, do you think you can kill me now?" Chen Jianqiu said suddenly, looking at the person in front of him playfully.

Li Shiri's veins swelled, his murderous aura surged, and he stared at Chen Jianqiu coldly.

Chen Changluo, you finally don't want to pretend anymore.

Looking at Li Shiri's expression, Chen Jianqiu knew his first guess, and it was right.

This brother really wanted to kill himself.

"However, I want to remind you that I am a legal citizen now. Before you think about killing me, don't you think about yourself first?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at the bustling street outside the window, and the banter on his face was more serious. aggregated.

"You don't really think that the people in Pinkerton trust you, do you? They have sent someone to investigate your legal status. If I read correctly, they should be in the archives now."

"I don't need you to care about me." Li Shiri's voice was low, but his eyes showed some hesitation.

Chen Jianqiu's second guess is that Li Shiri has no legal status. After the implementation of the law, Pinkerton not only cannot hire him, but also has the obligation to transfer him to the Immigration Bureau.

The waiter brought the coffee and put it on the table.

Li Shiri had been staring at Chen Jianqiu all the time. He was always looking for an opportunity to strangle the junior brother in front of him by the throat, making him unable to breathe.

However, Chen Jianqiu kept drinking his coffee, looking out of the window calmly.

The crowd on the street and Chen Jianqiu's mysterious sitting posture did not give him this chance back.

"Brother, if you really want to kill me, I'll give you another chance." Chen Jianqiu finished his coffee and stood up.

"Tonight, San Francisco Archives, I'll wait for you."

Immediately, under Li Shiri's gaze, Chen Jianqiu put on his coat and hat, turned and left the cafe.

Li Shiri got up to catch up, but was stopped by the waiter behind him.

"Sir, you haven't paid for your coffee yet!"

"He pulled me in!" Li Shiri pointed at the direction where Chen Jianqiu left, and shouted angrily at the waiter.

"What coffee do you drink if you don't have money? Poor! If you don't pay, I'll call the police!" The waiter met his eyes without showing any weakness, "You guys should be arrested!"

Li Shiri stared at the waiter, panting heavily.

He could easily kill this foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes on the spot.

However, he didn't have the guts.

He didn't even have the guts to escape orders in a foreigner's cafe.

Li Shiri took out the money, handed it to the waiter, and then hurried out the door.

Then, he bumped into a full arms with a black man.

 I drove home today for the Chinese New Year. I just got home, so the update is relatively late, and the second update will be later.
