Naturally, Sir Zhang will not dampen the other party's enthusiasm.
For criminals to be able to take the right path is what many law enforcement officers are most proud of.
"Yes, after I came to America, I decided to abandon my previous life. Later, by chance, I bought this restaurant. Unfortunately, it didn't last long."
When Ah Jian talked about his life, he couldn't help but have a look of confidence on his face. Unfortunately, this look didn't last long and turned into a sigh.
"Because of those gang members just now?"
Zhang Pin looked at the other party in surprise.
With Xiaozhuang's original skills, it would not be easy to kill those people.
"It was only when I walked out into the sunshine that I discovered that life is not just about fighting and killing. There are people behind these gangsters. As long as your shop wants to continue to open, you must pay this money."
Ah Jian obviously understood the meaning in Zhang Pin's eyes.
Although he yearns for a bright life, he is not a pedantic person.
He had already done this when the gangster first came to the door.
It's a pity that although he destroyed several American gangsters with thunderous means.
But the ecological niche is here. After the previous gangs were destroyed, new gangs quickly took their place.
Then they continue to come to collect protection money.
Unless Xiaozhuang exposes his identity openly, no matter how the gang changes, they will still come to collect protection fees.
On the contrary, Xiaozhuang himself had actually been noticed by some people because he moved his hands too frequently.
He used to be just a killer and didn't know how to deal with people who collected protection money.
If Zhang Pin hadn't appeared today, Xiaozhuang would have been ready to kill a few gangsters on the spot, and then kill the gang bosses himself.
"Since the restaurant can't open anymore, why don't you come and do something for me, and I'll pay you."
Zhang Pin never thought that he would meet Xiaozhuang in America by such a coincidence.
The two of them were already acquaintances, and he recognized Xiaozhuang's abilities.
So after thinking about it, he decided to find a helper for himself.
"Sir Zhang, are you coming to America to handle a case?"
Xiaozhuang was a little embarrassed when he heard Zhang Pin's invitation.
Zhang Pin has a basic understanding of Xiaozhuang, but Xiaozhuang actually doesn't know Zhang Pin very well.
Obviously one of them is a killer and the other is a policeman, but now, depending on Zhang Pin's intentions, he still wants to help himself.
Xiaozhuang didn't know what he could do to help the other party.
"This is my current identity. If you help me handle this matter, I can guarantee that no one will dare to come to your restaurant to collect protection money again."
Zhang Pin looked around, and when he was sure that there was no third person, he took out the consultant's identity certificate given to him by the Investigation Bureau.
Xiaozhuang was stunned when he saw what Zhang Pin laid out and heard his words.
"How about it?"
Zhang Pin didn't give Xiaozhuang much time to think.
In fact, whether or not Xiaozhuang is involved in this case has little impact, but it just happened to happen now.
And if he doesn't help the other party, Xiaozhuang, who yearns for the sunshine wholeheartedly, may have to follow the same old path again.
It was also he who asked the other party to help him.
"Thank you, Sir Zhang."
Xiaozhuang obviously also knew that since Zhang Pin had connections with the Investigation Bureau, he would definitely not be able to help him much.
But he really doesn't know how to deal with some gangsters, and he can't bear to part with this restaurant.
"Very good, but I need to change my title. You can call me boss or boss. My current identity is not a policeman, but an Asian who just came to America via wire."
Zhang Pin was naturally not surprised when he heard that Xiaozhuang agreed.
Then he told the other party some things.
"By the way, the first priority is that you need to find a place for me to live."
Zhang Pin wanted to infiltrate the Dominican gang and find out whether they had stolen the copper heads, so naturally he could not go back to the consulate.
Originally, he was going to just find a hotel to sleep in that didn't require identification, but now that he met Xiaozhuang, he might as well let him figure it out.
"I rent an apartment not far away. If you don't mind, come to my place."
Xiaozhuang didn't pay much attention to Zhang Pin's arrangement of his own accommodation.
"Wait for me a moment. I'll take care of the hotel's affairs first and close the business for the next few days."
Finally, he hurriedly took care of the hotel affairs.
Ajian summoned several hotel staff, and then took out the turnover of the past few days. After giving all the money to a few people, he asked them to rest temporarily or find other jobs.
"You are very kind."
Seeing Ajian give all the money to others, Zhang Pin gave him a high look.
"It's not easy for everyone. If you can help, please help."
Ah Jian is obviously not a person who values money very seriously.
"The apartment I live in is not of a high quality, but there are still no problems with safety."
While walking on the road, Xiaozhuang was worried that Zhang Pin wouldn't be able to live in the apartment he rented.
"It doesn't matter, I can live anywhere."
Sir Zhang doesn't care much about where he lives.
After entering the villa, there is an old-fashioned circular staircase.
The two of them walked all the way up, and they stood on the same spot almost at the same time, because just above them, sitting on the fence, was a little girl.
"Hey!"
The little girl took the initiative to say hello to Xiaozhuang.
"Matilda. Are you smoking again?"
Xiaozhuang frowned and then asked the girl something.
"This is also a resident of the apartment who has an unreliable father."
The next sentence is explained to Zhang Pin.
What he didn't say was that because he owned a restaurant, he saw that the little girl Matilda was often abused by her father, so he would occasionally bring her some food.
That's why the relationship between the two is pretty good.
"Is this your friend? This is the first time I've seen you bring a friend back."
The little girl Matilda seems quite talkative.
"What's wrong with your face?"
Xiaozhuang did not answer Matilda's question, but instead noticed the wound on her forehead.
"I accidentally fell it."
Matilda was silent for a moment before answering the question.
Xiaozhuang frowned. He was not stupid. He could naturally see that this position was not caused by a fall at all, but rather looked like being beaten.
Click——
At this moment, the door to the room above was opened, and bursts of noise could be heard from inside.
"Why are you doing this!"
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
"A lot of things have happened in the past few days, and the people in the investigation bureau don't know what they are investigating all day long, so we have to get rid of things as soon as possible.
But now the problem comes. When we gave you the goods a month ago, the purity of these goods was still 100%.
Now when we were preparing to take the goods away, they turned into a batch of goods with a purity of 90%.
During this period, 10 percent of the goods were stolen."
A guy in a black leather jacket was reasoning with a short, fat bearded man.
"I don't know. It's none of my business. I'm just a client. If you give me the things, I'll take care of them.
During this period, I didn't even touch your box, let alone I don't know how to dilute this kind of stuff.
Maybe it was the kid you left here to look after things.
No wonder he was mysterious and mysterious the past few days, and then suddenly left quietly."
The short, fat bearded man also looked aggrieved at this time.
"Hey, listen, I'm trying to help you now, but if you insist on refusing to tell the truth, then I have no choice but to trouble him."
The man in the leather jacket spread his hands and pointed at the back of a figure on the edge of the corridor.
The guy had a slicked-back hair and wore headphones. He seemed very immersed in listening to the music and turned a deaf ear to the quarrel here.
"He can smell out whether a person is lying just by relying on his sense of taste. This is a terrifying ability, just like the legendary sixth sense."
"What's more important is that he has always been very cruel to those who lie. You don't want to encounter this kind of thing yourself."
"Now, do you decide to say something, or are you ready to fall out with him?"
When the bearded man heard Leather Jacket's words, he hesitated for a few seconds.
But in the end he shook his head: "What I told is the truth, I don't know anything."
Seeing this, Leather Jacket could only helplessly shake his head, looking at the bearded man with a bit of pity in his eyes.
He walked towards the man who was listening to music with his back turned, and then cautiously approached the man.
"Stan, you should have heard that this guy refuses to admit that he took our goods."
After hearing Leather Jacket's words, the man named Stan took off his Walkman. Then he turned his head and gave a fierce look that immediately made the bearded man sweat.
Then Stan did not speak, but walked up to the bearded man, then leaned against his body and sniffed continuously.
Seeing Stan's actions, cold sweat broke out not only on the bearded man's back, but also on his entire body.
Seeing the bearded man's reaction, there was no need to ask questions or use any super powers of smell. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this guy had a guilty conscience.
Then Stan, who had a fierce look in his eyes, suddenly touched his waist with his palms.
snap——
snap——
At this time, Xiaozhuang and Zhang Pin walked to the corridor on this floor one after the other.
It was a coincidence that the room Xiaozhuang lived in happened to be on the same floor as the room where the bearded man was.
Seeing the appearance of an outsider, Stan's originally fierce eyes suddenly dimmed.
"If you say you didn't steal it, then of course you didn't steal it. We are all friends, so of course I will believe you."
Stan suddenly raised his palm and hugged the bearded man.
"Hello, my name is Stan Fei. Since we are friends, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Find the guy who stole my goods, and then call me and tell me. Remember, it must be at 12 noon tomorrow.
Before."
As Stan spoke, he helped the bearded man tidy up his clothes, then passed Zhang Pin and others and walked down the stairs.
"Huhuhu——"
After Stan and the wallet man left, the bearded man couldn't help but take a few steps back, leaned his back against the wall and breathed.
"I was a little uncomfortable when I first came here, but later I discovered that even the painkillers prescribed by certified doctors are addictive, so I gradually got used to it."
While walking, Xiaozhuang also explained something to Zhang Pin.
He remembered that Sir Zhang had always been sworn in against drug gambling, so he was actually a little worried that the other party would not understand the situation here.
"Don't worry, I have always respected the fate of others and will not do anything to change my destiny."
Zhang Pin is very open-minded about this. This is America, not Hong Kong Island.
Even on Hong Kong Island, he only tried his best to protect ordinary people. Like some self-degenerate guys, he would not meddle in other people's business.
"Hey Jian, can I ask you a question?"
Just as the two were about to enter the room, Matilda, who was sitting on the fence, called to Xiaozhuang.
"Say it."
Xiaozhuang is very patient with the little girl.
"Do you think life is always so hard, or is it just because I am a child?"
Matilda stroked her injured forehead, glanced at her father who was leaning against the wall and was sweating profusely, lowered her head and asked this question.
After hearing her words, Xiaozhuang was silent for a while.
"It's always like this."
Sir Zhang bluntly broke the little girl's fantasy.
"You'd better hand over your things as soon as possible, or run away with your family. I don't think that guy is a good person."
But when he saw Matilda being so precocious, he felt really pitiful, so the last words he said were to the bearded man.
"You don't have to worry about my family's affairs!"
However, Sir Zhang’s kindness was obviously put to the wrong place.
After hearing his words, the bearded man not only showed no gratitude, but actually responded to him coldly.
Naturally, Sir Zhang did not continue to persuade me.
Some people want to seek death themselves, but they cannot be brought back.
"You mean, you want to investigate a case of stealing the twelve zodiac bronze heads?"
The two of them entered the room, and Zhang Pin probably told Xiaozhuang about his case.
Who knows, after listening to his story, Xiaozhuang's expression turned strange.
"Looking at you like this, do you know any clues?"
Zhang Pin is also a human spirit, so naturally he immediately guessed the reason for Xiaozhuang's expression.
"Well, it's a coincidence. I'll take you to see a friend."
Xiaozhuang is also very calm. Although one of them is a policeman and the other used to be a killer, they met in a foreign country and became close friends because of a small incident.
Because of this, when Xiaozhuang heard Zhang Pin's words, he took him out without saying a word.
After the two got in the car, they quickly arrived at a very remote community after twists and turns.
Dong dong dong——
The two of them went around to the back of an alley. Xiaozhuang walked to a small room with pink lights and knocked on the door.
"who?"
A warning voice soon came from inside.
"Dr. Howard, it's me."
Xiaozhuang also followed in a low voice, and upon hearing his voice, there were sounds of opening the door immediately.
Zhang Pin didn't expect that this was actually a private clinic.
What Zhang Pin didn't expect was that there was a patient lying in the clinic at this time.
"Is this your brother?"
Looking at the face similar to Xiaozhuang's on the hospital bed, Zhang Pin was speechless for a moment.
