Three days later, Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia officially took up their posts. As I introduced before, their job is very simple, that is, looking at the second-hand car garage between midnight and ten o'clock the next morning.
After dinner, Lu Xiaobei slipped on a coat. It was October now, and San Francisco, which has an oceanic climate, would be colder at night. Before, Mr. Wang specially told Lu Xiaobei to wear more clothes when working the night shift.
Otherwise he will freeze to death in the warehouse.
Maybe Wang Tou'er's statement was a bit exaggerated, but Lu Xiaobei still listened, and he didn't forget to tell Yao Xia about wearing an extra piece of clothing.
After dinner, I slept in bed for a while. At about eleven o'clock at night, Lu Xiaobei's door was knocked several times. Lu Xiaobei opened the door. Yao Xia stood outside the door and looked at Lu Xiaobei with a smile.
north.
"Let's go, we should start work." Yao Xia said, shaking the flashlight in his hand.
Lu Xiaobei glanced at the clock on the wall. Unexpectedly, he started sleeping after eating. He slept for more than three hours. It was already half past eleven. Lu Xiaobei rubbed his eyes, got into the bathroom and rinsed them with cold water.
He calmed down and became more awake, then escaped outside and picked up the flashlight and walkie-talkie that he had prepared early on from the desk.
The two people walked out of the maintenance shop together. After exiting the main gate of the maintenance shop, there was a spacious asphalt road. Follow the road all the way north, and after walking about 500 meters, you will reach the second-hand car warehouse.
In the dark night, a large parking garage was getting closer and closer to me. There was a duty room next to the main entrance of the parking garage, with lights on inside.
Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia walked over and saw two young guys inside dozing off.
Lu Xiaobei knew the two of them. Although he couldn't call them by name, he usually saw them in the dormitory building and canteen. He said hello every time they met, and they gradually became familiar with them.
"Okay, you two go back and have a rest quickly. We're here to change shifts." Lu Xiaobei said with a smile.
"Xiaobei and beauty, you are finally here. This is for you." A young hot employee handed Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia each an electric baton and said: "The dots have been reorganized. Press the switch to activate the dots.
If someone is electrocuted and knocked unconscious, use this as self-defense if anything happens."
Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia took the electric batons and smiled. Lu Xiaobei patted the young employee on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I know, you go back quickly."
When the two employees went out, they did not forget to look back and say: "If anything happens, use the intercom to call someone first. Don't rush up without permission."
Lu Xiaobei nodded, and then the two of them left with peace of mind.
Ten hours will be spent in this duty room. Every half hour, I will take a flashlight to inspect the garage. There is no one waiting in the garage, so I can only use the flashlight to illuminate.
Lu Xiaobei was smoking while reading the newspaper on the table in the duty room. He couldn't read English and only read the pictures and news. At that time, Clinton was the president of the United States, and the headlines were always about Clinton. Lu Xiaobei read it.
Seeing Clinton's face one after another made me feel a little tired of aesthetics.
At 0:30, the first inspection of the garage began. Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia had walkie-talkies on the right side of their waists, electric batons on the left, and hand-held electric batons in their hands. They walked to the front of the large garage.
, Lu Xiaobei used the remote control to open the huge electronic door of the garage. It was pitch dark inside, with heavy cars sleeping peacefully inside.
Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia both turned on their flashlights. The light was very strong. The light from the flashlights shone in and could shine from the door to the wall at the other end.
"There are a lot of cars here, at least a hundred or so, which must cost a lot of money," Yao Xia said in amazement.
"Cars may be considered a luxury product in China, but in the United States, cars are just their means of transportation. You can buy a Ford for one thousand dollars. These second-hand cars here are only bought by poor people living in San Francisco."
As Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia talked, they walked inside. They walked to the end, from the gate to the other end. The light of the flashlight swept through every new or old second-hand car.
"It's nothing." Yao Xia said.
As soon as Yao Xia finished speaking, there was a slight movement under the car not far away. Yao Xia suddenly took out his gun and fired three shots into the darkness based on his feeling. He waited for Lu Xiaobei to shine his flashlight.
At that time, in the light, the mouse, which had always been yellow, was beaten into a pulp by three bullets, which was a bit disgusting.
Yao Xia said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I'm too nervous."
Lu Xiaobei smiled and said: "It's not a bad thing to be more vigilant. Let's go." Lu Xiaobei said this, but in his heart he was sighing at Yao Xia's precise shooting skills. In the dark, he could hit just by feeling.
His goal is something that only a top killer can reach out for. Yao Xia is such a top killer!
Life passed neither too fast nor too slowly. Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia gradually got used to this kind of work, with a hint of excitement in their leisure. A month passed unknowingly, and Lu Xiaobei and the employees here
They were all familiar with each other. In this month, he also met the police officer named Zhang once who drove a police car to the repair shop to repair the car. Lu Xiaobei also treated him to a bag of tea he brought from China.
The days are ordinary with a hint of crisis. They have lived too many such comfortable days, which makes Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia a little unbelievable. In the dead of night, Yao Xia always feels that there is a pair or even several pairs of eyes staring at them in the darkness.
Looking at herself, these eyes might jump out and kill her at any time, just as easy as when she kills others. But what reassures her is that Lu Xiaobei will be with her at night, and her cousin will be with her during the day.
I sleep in my villa, and there are employees in the courtyard, so it's very safe.
At around ten o'clock that morning, Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia came back from the night shift. An ambulance roared past them. The ambulance was heading in the direction of the maintenance shop. Lu Xiaobei had an ominous premonition.
, he and Yao Xia ran back quickly.
In the maintenance shop, many employees were watching the ambulance outside, and many of them were holding tools such as iron wrenches and hammers used to repair cars.
There were pools of blood on the ground. Several Caucasian doctors in white coats were carrying stretchers to transport people to ambulances. Some employees were also helping. One ambulance was not enough, and soon several more almost arrived.
The car and a police car also came.
Officer Zhang got out of the police car and glanced at Lu Xiaobei. His face was full of seriousness and he said nothing. He walked directly to the repair shop owner and his cousin, and the two started talking. They talked in English.
, spoke very quickly, and Lu Xiaobei did not understand.
Yao Xia translated on the side: "Officer Zhang is asking what happened here. My cousin said that more than 30 black people came just now, holding a machete in their hands to smash several cars and some vehicles that were being repaired in the repair shop.
The equipment for car maintenance was smashed. Seeing that these people were all wearing miners' clothes, my cousin speculated that it might have been done by members of a mining team in the nearby mountains.
Officer Zhang asked if he had ever had trouble with these black people before. His uncle replied that the pioneers of this generation were all composed of black people. The black people had their own alliance and they often bullied the Chinese. Earlier, the Chinese here
They will be beaten to death by black people. The reason why they came to the repair shop to cause trouble this time is because their employees had a quarrel with them a few days ago, and they came to take revenge!"
As soon as Yao Xia finished translating, Lu Xiaobei saw Wang Tou'er angrily walking out of the crowd with his head wrapped in gauze and holding a long iron wrench.
"Prince Wang, why are you going!" Lu Xiaobei shouted.
Head Wang saw Lu Xiaobei, walked over and said, "Go and settle the score with those gangsters!"
Yao Xia looked at Wang Tou'er's difficulty and asked, "What happened to your head?"
"Fuck, Huang Lei and six or seven of his brothers were knocked unconscious by those hammers. Aren't they all in the ambulance now?" Mr. Wang said angrily.
"Why did those black people come to make trouble?" Lu Xiaobei asked.
"Two months ago, in September, it was the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. A mooncake eating competition was organized in the Chinatown neighborhood of San Francisco. Then for some reason, a group of Koreans came and started yelling at us Chinese.
, saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a Korean festival, we Chinese people became angry at that time. This Korean stickman dared to cause trouble in our Chinatown, and the Chinese in Chinatown beat him away with sticks.
The Koreans were not convinced, but they were small in number and could not defeat us. Later, the Koreans used their beauty to seduce the president of the local Negro League in San Francisco, spread rumors about us in front of the black people, and sow discord between us. In this way, the black people began to fight with us everywhere.
The Chinese are against each other. Last month, a group of black people stormed Tang Renjia and smashed up several time-honored shops. The local police organized them to continue the riot in the city center, and then the group went to the suburbs to cause trouble.
In the first few days, a few of our employees went to a nearby mountain for a picnic and met a group of black people from the mountaineering team. The black people said that they paved the mountain road, otherwise the Chinese would walk, and we people would not be freeloaders, so we would fight against them.
Come on, they started fighting without saying a few words. At that time, our maintenance shop and the mountaineering team had buried their hatred, and today they came to take revenge.
Okay, I won’t tell you anymore, I have to get revenge on those people, and they shouldn’t have gone far yet!” After saying that, Mr. Wang waved his hand, and a dozen car mechanics were holding wrenches and hammers.
They all ran out behind him.
Police Officer Zhang who was explaining the situation and asked about the situation had noticed Wang Tou'er and the others' actions early on. Wang Tou'er and the others ran out of the room and chased after him in his car. While chasing him back, he shouted in Chinese through the loudspeaker in the car.
: "If you behave impulsively, the government will properly resolve everything. Please trust the U.S. government!"
Tou'er Wang and the others were so angry that they could not listen to what Officer Zhang said. Officer Zhang stepped on the accelerator and the police car rushed out. In front of Tou'er Wang and the dozen or so repairmen, a lion swung its tail and blocked the way.
