Under the spotlight, Sam, who has many years of experience in begging and performing in extras, was not at all frightened, and even showed off his acting skills.
"A bottle of red wine that is very precious to me was stolen by a damn thief! I called the police, but after waiting for three days there was no news." Old Sam held Grace's hand with grief and anger on his face: "So
I no longer plan to rely on them, and I am ready to spend all my savings to recover my things!"
"So that's it, then please come with me, Sam." Grace looked serious and immediately took old Sam to the newspaper building.
Others downstairs stared at their figures until they got on the elevator, and then there was a bang, and the originally quiet hall immediately became noisy.
"Do you think this can be true?"
"It doesn't look fake."
"But he's dressed like this... do you think he can afford so much money?"
"Also, what kind of red wine is worthy of a reward of one million!"
In the midst of the discussion, some outsiders left whispering to each other, while the newspaper employees, except those who had to go out, all ran back, wanting to get the details as soon as possible.
About half an hour later.
After paying the fee of three thousand dollars, old Sam came out of the newspaper office in grief. This time he was not acting, he was really heartbroken.
That's three thousand yuan, enough for him to live comfortably for two months.
It just slipped into the newspaper's pocket.
Just thinking about it makes my body hurt.
At this moment, the entire Los Angeles Times became lively with his sky-high reward.
At this time, reporters had a wide network of contacts and had acquaintances or informants in almost all walks of life. After learning about Old Sam’s reward, they had no intention of doing news. They all put down what they were doing and contacted
An acquaintance, looking for the thief who Chu Heng had sent to Hong Kong Island a long time ago and arranged for people to monitor him.
As a result, it didn't take long for the news of a million-dollar reward to spread throughout Los Angeles, and many gang members appeared near Old Sam's house to investigate and find suspicious persons.
At the same time, Jason was also harassed when he took on Old Sam's case. Many well-informed Citi police contacted him through various methods, trying to obtain the details of the case.
"No problem, man, I can give you a copy of the record, but I think this matter is a bit unreliable. Old Sam has always been a poor man, and there is no way he can give you a million... Okay, okay
Well, since you want to try it, it’s up to you.”
In the police station, Detective Jason hung up the phone with a headache. This was already the eighth call he had received that day. In addition, there were several people who came directly to his door.
Some of these people gave up after learning about Old Sam's situation, while others were dazzled by the one million and still insisted on giving it a try.
"Damn it, old Sam must be crazy. There is a reward of one million! Just for a bottle of wine?"
Jason stood up cursing, and first asked one of his men to make more copies of the case records to prepare, and then said to others: "Let's go! Guys, we have to check all the places in the area today, and we must seize them.
That abominable thief! This is our own territory and we cannot let others get it."
One of the men was stunned: "Boss, didn't you say the reward was fake?"
"That's just a lie to other people." Jason smiled slightly, with a wise face: "Old Sam is not a fool. He should know how much trouble his bounty will cause. If he really can't get it by then, those guys will
It can tear his asshole apart! So, I think this should be true."
Upon hearing this, several subordinates felt that it made sense, and their eyes immediately became hot. They screamed and ran out of the police station with Jason, preparing to launch a carpet-like search of all places in the area.
Not long after, the news spread in the police station. In an instant, everyone in the police station took action, including the chief who rarely left the office during working hours.
Their eyes were green like hungry wolves, and they rushed out of the police station excitedly. Police cars scattered like arrows to various parts of the area. For a time, the suburban area where old Sam's home was located changed.
It was a mess, and gang members and police could be seen everywhere. They inquired from house to house, looking for clues everywhere.
in this way.
The night passed quickly.
They did not find the thief or the red wine, but they caught many other criminals, making the security environment in this suburb reach its peak since the founding of Citigroup.
Not to mention petty theft, even passing dogs now dare not urinate anywhere.
From a side perspective, Chu Heng can be considered as having contributed to Citi’s public security.
Of course, this is not the end yet. The chaos last night was just the appetizer, and the bigger chaos is to come.
When the rising twilight shined on every corner of Los Angeles, copies of the Los Angeles Times, which published the news about Old Sam's reward, were delivered to thousands of homes by newsboys.
"A million-dollar reward?"
In an apartment, a white man stared at the contents of the reward and his breathing gradually became rapid. He was an ordinary white-collar worker who worked hard every month. After deducting taxes, he could get almost a thousand yuan.
He had to save one million for a hundred years without eating or drinking!
So, if he could get this reward, what kind of class would he be in?
"It won't hurt to give it a try. What if I'm lucky enough to find you?" The man thought for a while, immediately put down the newspaper, picked up the phone in the room to call friends, then asked for leave from his work unit, and brought
Load up and go meet your friends.
This scene is being staged in many places, with everyone hoping to try their luck.
And it's not just Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times is a large newspaper that is sold in many surrounding cities and states. People from many other places who have nothing to do on weekdays or are tempted by the sky-high rewards have also left for Los Angeles. There are even gangs coming from across the region.
The whole of Los Angeles became chaotic because of the craze caused by this reward order.
At the same time, black people living in Los Angeles who looked very similar to the one described in the reward also suffered bad luck.
As long as you go out, you will be arrested. If you are lucky, you will be questioned and let go if there is no problem.
If you are unlucky and meet someone with a bad temper, you will have to get beaten.
One of the most unlucky ones, Little Lao Hei, walked more than 200 meters from his home to the supermarket. He was caught eight times and beaten six times. When he finally got home, he could not even recognize his mother, who was most familiar to him.
Out.
And Old Sam and the people who had met the little old black guy who had followed him in the bar also became busy from this day on. People often brought the person found from everywhere with the one described in the reward.
People who look like black people go to them to confirm.
Most people were brought there in groups of one or two, while the gangs and Citi Police were led there in groups.
Dark guys were strung together with ropes or handcuffs, waiting in line for confirmation. The scene made people feel like they were back in the days of farmers.
