Chapter 998 The Jedi and the Scorpion King are dead
In the apartment, Russell walked through the first floor and found that the door to the bankrupt sister's house was open. He was very confused and walked in.
He remembered that when she was watching the show, Caroline once complained about Max, saying that she never closed the door when she was going to shave.
It's not the bedroom door, it's the front door to your home.
As a neighbor and policeman, Russell felt it was necessary to remind Max that in a dangerous area like New York, where people and animals are mixed, the garage door must be closed when cleaning the vehicle, otherwise gangsters will force their way into the vehicle.
There was no one in the room, neither Max nor Caroline was at home. Russell checked the time and saw that it was already eight o'clock in the evening, the time for the two women to go to the restaurant to work the night shift.
"You're not at home, and you don't even close the door. If you don't go bankrupt, who will go bankrupt?"
Russell shook his head speechlessly, took out carrots from the refrigerator, fed his pet Ma Libao, then closed the door and left.
On the second floor, the door of Leon's rented house was not closed either. His telepathy spread and he was immediately speechless.
Max and Caroline were lying side by side in front of the window, the latter holding the check in his hand, and the expressions of shock and satisfaction on their faces were extremely complicated.
Russell sighed, walked to the refrigerator, and took out Leon's favorite drink-milk.
He fell down on the two women who were lying on the ground. He accurately controlled the flow and angle, and poured it all into the four nostrils.
"Cough cough cough——"
"God, I'm going to drown on land!"
The two unlucky guys woke up from their coma. The next second, they told Russell with practical actions why they passed out on the floor.
The two of them stood up and sat on the ground. Caroline held up the check tremblingly. Max looked at it with his mouth wide open. The two looked at each other and knocked it down without saying a word.
Russell: "..."
How many times have these two unlucky guys passed out today?
He took the check from Caroline's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly when he looked at the numbers on it, tore it into pieces, and scattered them on the ground like a goddess scattering flowers.
Otherwise, these two women might starve to death.
With a snap of his fingers, Russell walked out to the third floor. There was a rustling sound behind him, and then, a scream broke through the sky.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of falling to the ground x2!
Russell: "..."
It feels like if we leave things alone, the two unlucky guys will still starve to death.
He shook his head speechlessly, took out two hundred dollars from his pocket, threw it on the ground, and whispered: "Hey, whoever dropped the two hundred dollars, if no one talks, it's mine."
"Mine!" x2
When Russell finished speaking, two figures wrapped around the curse of poverty swooped out and glided to his feet with a strong posture like vicious dogs snatching food. Each of them held a Franklin.
"Officer Russell, why did you tear up that check?"
Max was heartbroken. Although a hundred dollars could not alleviate the grief in her heart, it was enough to save her from the grief and barely give her the motivation to live.
"That's my check, you can tear it up if you want."
Russell curled his lips in disdain and looked down at the lost Caroline: "Max has never seen much of the world since he was a child. It is normal to behave like this. You are the daughter of a billionaire family. Where is your last stubbornness?"
"The last bit of my stubbornness was used up along with the lip gloss."
Caroline got up from the ground and tried to pull Max up, but Max refused, claiming that he had lost hope in life and would not get up even if he died.
Russell took out a green sword and said, "If you get up, this hundred dollars will be yours."
"Then I have no problem."
Max stood up from the ground and made a hundred dollars in an instant. Caroline next to him opened her eyes wide, and then fell to the ground with a plop.
"I won't get up unless someone gives me a hundred dollars."
Russell:(?_?)
He shook his head silently, stepped over the lying corpse of Caroline, and walked towards the third floor.
Russell could finally see that these two people had been tortured by poverty and had no temper. As long as he hooked his fingers, he could gain access to hundreds of thousands of people.
Then use billions to purify people, and then use billions to enter people!
"Wait a minute, Officer Russell, fifty dollars is also negotiable..."
Seeing Russell leaving without looking back, Caroline felt bad: "Max, give me a hundred dollars quickly."
"why?"
"Because I swear, I won't get up if I don't have money."
"Then you'd better lie down!"
After some entanglement, Max threw down a hundred dollars. Caroline kept her promise and stood up immediately after receiving the money.
Bang bang bang!
Russell opened the door, looked at the small cake in front of him, rolled his eyes and said, "I don't eat sweets. Also, if you borrow the bathroom, you don't need to compensate with cake. I'm used to your broken shower that can't be repaired."
"No, Officer Russell, we're not here to borrow the bathroom."
"Is that just borrowing money?"
Russell let the two of them into the house and took out two bottles of soda from the refrigerator and gave them to them: "Let's make an agreement first. If it exceeds two hundred dollars, we won't discuss it."
"No, we are not here to borrow money either."
When it comes to financial issues, Caroline is their diplomat: "Officer Russell, are you familiar with that banker? Can you introduce him to him?"
"You want to borrow money from the bank?"
"To be precise, it's a loan..."
Caroline opened the conversation and talked endlessly about her and Max's small cake business, and in a very short time she outlined a business empire that started from cupcakes, with a vast territory that shocked the past and the present.
Sounds a lot like a chocolate factory!
Russell raised his hand to stop: "It's not that troublesome. How much do you want to borrow?"
"Five hundred dollars!"
"Fifty thousand dollars!"
"..."x3
"Max, five hundred dollars isn't even enough for one month's rent."
"But if we lose money, we won't be able to pay back the $50,000 even if we sell it."
"Isn't this exactly what you want?"
Caroline pulled Max and whispered to her: "If the cake business is successful, we will be rich people and can pay off our debts. If we lose money, we will use you to pay off the debts and make your dreams come true."
"Is it easier for you to borrow money after my dream comes true?" Max rolled his eyes.
"That's right." Caroline nodded seriously.
"You are really a capitalist, but this is a good idea. I like it very much."
Max put on a serious face and said to Russell seriously: "Caroline is right, we are going to borrow fifty thousand US dollars. If we can't repay the debt, you can use me."
I think you want to eat shit!
The two unlucky guys thought their voices were very quiet, but Russell heard everything. He waved his hands to refuse, took out his credit card from his pocket and put it on the coffee table.
"Officer Russell?"
"I don't remember how much credit is left on this card, but there is at least half a million dollars left, so I won't need to borrow the money. I have a request. If it can be met, I have no problem with you maxing it out."
Clang!
Russell seemed to hear the sound of gold coins falling to the ground. He looked around and found none. When he looked up, he saw that the eyes of the two unlucky guys were shining.
"Officer Russell, if you have any requests, just ask us, we are very casual women."
Hot air spurted out from Max's nostrils, and his eyes burned as if he wanted to eat someone.
"I want a marriage certificate!"
"..."x2
Max and Caroline opened their mouths wide. After a moment, Caroline gritted her teeth and held down the credit card on the coffee table: "No problem, I will register the marriage with you tomorrow."
"Caroline, what are you talking about? You still have your own dreams and cannot be bound by marriage. If you do it for me, I'm not afraid!"
Max slapped Caroline away with his paw and grabbed the credit card in his hand: "Officer Russell, without further ado, let's have a trial marriage tonight!"
"No, you misunderstood."
Russell leaned on the sofa and showed a meaningful smile: "What I want is the marriage certificate of the two of you. As long as you become a legal partner, you can use this card to swipe it as you like."
(???)??(??`)
Max silently put the credit card on the coffee table, turned to look at Caroline, who looked at each other affectionately, and ten seconds later the two gave up.
└(￣0 ￣└)(┘￣?￣)┘
It's so hard that I can't stop talking.
"Officer Russell, can't you be more accommodating?"
"Yeah, when I think about getting married to her, I want to die."
"Sorry, no need to discuss."
Russell shook his head and refused, picked up his credit card and waved it in front of the two women.
The bodies of the two unlucky guys swayed, resembling female leopards about to prey. Then their eyes blurred and they saw the credit card disappearing into Russell's palm.
"This opportunity must not be missed and will not come back again. Go back and think about it carefully. When you have figured it out, come to me when you can."
Russell raised his hand to see the guest off, and then added: "Remember to bring your signed marriage certificate when the time comes."
The two women walked back to the first floor in despair. Max pushed them and said expressionlessly: "Did you bring the key?"
"No."
"Then go to the third floor. I just forgot to borrow the bathroom."
"No, Max, at this time, we are already late for work."
"Compared with marriage and dreams, working is nothing."
"Max, have you ever thought about marrying me and then getting the money and then getting a divorce?"
"Don't even think about it!"
…
The next day, Russell drove to the police station, not because of Stanfield's case, but because the chief wanted to see him for two things.
The first thing was that Tony died.
Tony went to the branch to surrender last night and died suddenly in the middle of the night. Preliminary identification revealed that he died of a heart attack.
This kind of talk can be deceived by children. No matter Russell, the director, or even the reporters, they don't believe it.
The director was furious about this, and several police officers guarding the temporary prison were isolated for investigation. The situation was very unclear. There was no mole in the police station, nor the means of assassinating Tony.
Obviously, Tony knew too much, and his sudden surrender frightened his superiors, who sent people to deal with him overnight.
Leon, the unlucky guy, was a blessing in disguise because he knew nothing and no one cared whether he lived or died.
The second thing is good news. The New York Police Department headquarters at 1 Police Plaza held a meeting and decided to award Russell the Combat Cross.
The Combat Cross is the second-highest honor for the New York police. It is awarded to individuals who are resourceful and brave in action, regardless of personal safety, fighting armed criminals, and showing extreme heroism.
The meeting went on for a long time, and someone proposed that Russell be awarded the highest honor, the Medal of Honor, because Russell not only killed fifteen rioters, but also saved the lives of two mounted police officers, as well as the dignity of the New York police.
But in the end, the meeting decided to award the Combat Cross. There was no other way. Russell was too young. If he got the Medal of Honor now, he wouldn't have to give it next time.
"The investiture ceremony will be in three days. Put Sheriff Stan's case aside for now and get ready for the glorious turning point in your life."
The director patted Russell on the shoulder, with envy and blessings in his eyes. Feeling that he had survived to the age of a dog, he whispered: "Secretly telling you, the people above are going to set you up as a benchmark in the police industry, and you will be a star in the future.
.”
“Isn’t the bald brother the benchmark in the police world?”
"No, they committed suicide by jumping off the building!"
