"Mr. Kahn, are you okay?" Seeing Josie's sudden violent cough, Lindenschneider and Dix asked with concern.
After all, Josie has almost become their only hope now.
"Ahem, it's okay, I just choked on my saliva." He waved his hand to indicate that he was okay, and then Josie turned his attention to Dix and looked up and down.
It turns out he is a good brother.
Forgive him for not recognizing it before.
There was no way, the place where he hid that night was dozens of meters away from several people, and it was early in the morning, and the street lights in this era were extremely dim, so it was impossible for Qiao Xi to see the faces of several people and not recognize them.
It's normal to come out.
"Sir, is my situation putting you in trouble? It doesn't matter. I can leave now. Mr. Lyndon Schneider has nothing to do with my previous case. Let him surrender!" Dix saw Josie staring at him.
Seeing it for myself, I couldn't help but stand up and said.
"That's not necessary." Qiao Xi said thoughtfully, "If you have other cases, it will be a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem. It's really not possible. I'll help you get a boat. You can go to Canada to hide for a while.
, let’s talk about it after the storm has passed.”
If it were before, Josie would have been too lazy to care about this big man named Dix. Even if Linden Schneider hadn't known his father, he wouldn't have bothered to care about him. What's more, the man had pointed a gun at him.
But the fact that the other party was a good brother who helped him take the blame slightly moved Josie's favor, and his words of defense of Lyndon Schneider just now surprised Josie even more.
Because according to what Lyndon Schneider just said, although he and Dix's group were accomplices in this case, they actually knew each other for less than a week.
It was just a simple employment relationship - according to their agreement, the jewelry worth hundreds of dollars belonged entirely to Lyndon Schneider, and Dix and the others only received a fixed fee of US$20,000 per person.
However, for the fixed fee of 20,000 yuan, not only did Dix and others not covet the jewelry at all, but they also worked hard to protect Lyndon Schneider, who was just a little old man.
Still defending Lyndon Schneider even now.
This was simply beyond Josie's imagination.
Damn it, all the gangsters in this era are so loyal?
Isn't it the correct operation of this kind of gangster to kill the burdensome old man Linden and run away with the jewelry?
"Would this be too much trouble?" Dix was also surprised when he heard Josie's words.
"Normally, it would be more troublesome, but in this case, you are not the focus. The focus is on Mr. Schneider and the jewelry on his body. As long as he surrenders, there will be no pressure from the Lebil family and the insurance company. The police will
I wish I could close the case immediately. When the martial law in the city is lifted, this matter will be simple, so before that, you still have to hide for a while." Qiao Xi explained.
"If that's the case, then I can't thank you enough for Mr. Kahn." After hearing Josie's words, Dix, who had been nervous all day and night, finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa.
He just sat down, then covered his waist and kept breathing in the cold air.
"Are you injured?" Upon seeing this, Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows, and then saw that the other party had lifted up his coat, and the waist of the shirt underneath had already been soaked in a large area of red.
"It's okay, I was just scratched by the bullet and it was bandaged before." Dix shook his head and said.
Qiao Xi didn't believe a word of what he said.
How could it be possible for a scratch to ooze so much blood? And it hurt so much that I broke out in a cold sweat?
"Your injury can't be delayed any longer. If the bleeding stops, there will be big problems." Qiao Xi looked at the other party's wound and said, "But you are lucky."
Then Josie walked into the bedroom, and soon came out with a medicine box... Of course, only Josie knew that he actually took out the medicine box from the system space.
As a time traveler, cherishing your life is a basic operation.
Especially in this era of chaos and chaos, who knows what we might encounter?
Even in the relatively stable United States, it's never a bad thing to be more prepared.
Especially if you have your own system space, you don't have to worry about too much stuff or expiration.
Opening the medicine box, there were some simple utensils and gauze inside. In addition, there were some drugs, including morphine and sulfa.
No penicillin.
Although Alexander Fleming had invented penicillin in 1928, it was not taken seriously at all from the beginning.
It was already 1940 when the pathological effects of penicillin were truly confirmed.
It was only last year, in 1942, that it was actually included in the planned production by American pharmaceutical companies.
Even now, penicillin is still in the clinical stage.
When penicillin became available on the market, it was directly classified as a controlled substance by the federal government.
Therefore, the only better antibacterial drugs available in the world today are sulfonamides.
The three grown men in the room were not professional doctors, so they treated Dix's wound in a simple and crude way. They asked him to bite the rag, sprinkled him with sulfonamide powder, and injected him with 5 ml of morphine for relief.
Apply gauze.
There is no doubt that morphine is highly addictive, but the dosage is important.
According to later research, a dosage of less than five milligrams is relatively safe.
The reason why a large number of soldiers became addicted during World War I and World War II was mainly due to the fact that in order to save their lives, they basically injected dozens of milligrams in a whole tube.
"This is the only way we can handle it for the time being. Just stay here and rest for now. I'll try to see if I can find a doctor later. Mr. Schneider, please come with me to see Mr. Lebil." A little help.
After Dix treated the wound, Josie said.
He has done everything he can, and the rest depends on Dix's own fate.
"Thank you, sir!" Dix thanked him very seriously.
"Haha, thank yourself!" Josie smiled slightly, but it made Dix confused.
Without any explanation, Josie took Schneider and left.
But before leaving, Josie made a phone call to confirm John Schneider's location.
After all, this is not an ordinary theft case. It involves Emery, a well-known top barrister in Chicago. At the same time, the other party is also a partner of the Lebil family for decades, so it is necessary to ventilate Mr. Lebil in advance.
.
Especially if you want Lyndon Schneider to reduce his penalty, the attitude of Lebil, the victim, is very important.
At this time, John Lebil is still busy because of the theft last night.
Although the direct losses caused by the theft of jewelry will be borne by the insurance announcement, those gems are also a very important part of the supply reserve of Lebil's jewelry group. It is not easy to replenish it, especially during a war like this.
.
So when he heard the secretary report that he had an appointment with Josie, he didn't really want to meet him.
However, thinking about the limelight that Josie had in the spotlight last night and what I read in the newspaper this morning, I understand that Josie has been hailed as an anti-French XX hero, and the general trend has basically been achieved.
So after thinking about it for a while, I agreed to Qiao Xi’s appointment.
But he didn't expect that Josie would bring him such a huge surprise.
