Chapter 83 Representation
Be a layman, greedy for money and lustful.
Chen Linzhi was busy in Bentonville Town, and was busy using his erudition to hire someone to imitate it, and made a special trip to the port city to send the small clothes by air, stimulating Dempsey, an old pervert, to win orders for himself.
Several girls who came from the strip club after work were able to do it one by one, and Chen Linzhi was on fire when he watched from the sidelines.
Dempsey's face was even more happy, and he vaguely heard that these clothes could also be sold in Walmart supermarkets, and readily agreed to the request for help, undoubtedly quite satisfied with this little surprise.
-------------------------------------
San Francisco, West Coast.
Superintendent Steiner hit a wall today, as her boss didn't want to get into trouble for no other reason and was ready to put down an old World War II case that prevented her from initiating further investigation.
On the other side, Zhao Bailu unexpectedly received a phone call, an old man named Bradley Pine found her, told her that she had learned the news of the ring from the Smithsonian Institution, and asked what happened back then, claiming that she was a distant relative with the missing person who went to China to hunt for treasures during World War II.
Zhao Bailu did not hide it, and briefly mentioned some of the known information on the phone, and the other party was emotional, and proposed to take the first flight from Philadelphia to San Francisco tomorrow, hoping to meet and talk to her.
......
The next afternoon.
Zhao Bailu did meet Mr. Bradley Pine, who was in his seventies and seemed to be in good health, accompanied by Yin Yu.
If you want to ask why Yin Yu is here, it is indeed Guan Gong Qianli to send his sister-in-law, and there is absolutely no such thing.
He and Zhao Bailu have only met a few times, this morning this girl went upstairs to the Fire Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Hall to knock on the door to contact Chen Linzhi, Yin Yu just didn't go home last night, and stayed at Song Yuewen's house, so he met by chance.
Upstairs in Yin's house, there was a lot of movement all day and night, so he was often too lazy to go back to live.
After learning about Zhao Bailu's intentions, he was worried that it would be dangerous to meet a liar, so Yin Yu volunteered to go to the appointment together, as if Zhao Bailu was treated as a younger brother and sister, Chen Linzhi was not at home, of course he was willing to help.
The meeting place was about to be in a café next to the police station, and the old man named Bradley Pine was eating dessert at the moment, and his tone was melancholy:
"You're much younger than I thought.
I thought I would never know the whereabouts of Fred Mellone, who was a very brave fighter pilot, optimistic and cheerful, and loved by the girls.
The war had taken its toll on him, and one day after Fred's divorce he sent me a letter saying that he was going to China to buy a batch of art and come back to run his own small private museum.
This did not surprise me, but unfortunately I have not heard of his whereabouts for more than 40 years since he left, and I thought that Fred died of war or disease, but I did not expect this to be the result. ”
Zhao Bailu once inquired about the origin of the ring for Chen Linzhi, and a professor at the Smithsonian Institution helped find clues, and in the course of the investigation, he met Mr. Bradley Pine.
That's why Bradley Pine got the news and came to San Francisco in person.
Zhao Bailu took a sip of iced coffee, and when she saw that Mr. Pyne was so depressed, she opened her mouth to comfort her:
"Please don't be too sad, we don't know much about the specific process for the time being, the current clues are just speculation, about the cause of Fred Merlon's death, you have to ask the person concerned to find out.
The ring has now been taken by Superintendent Stana of the 8th Precinct and is temporarily kept as evidence, you should go to the police station to inquire about the investigation. ”
"Actually, I already asked, I know a senator in California, and after I finished talking with you last night, I asked him to help inquire about the progress of the case, and the reply to me was that the prosecution period had long passed.
And the felon, named Wang, quibbled that Fred Mellon was killed in an accident in an argument with the crew that year, and that he had nothing to do with him, but that he just happened to be on the ship. ”
Mr. Bradley Pine, with gray hair, took off his hat and pinched his eyebrows, coughed a few times, and continued:
"It's hard to ask what the truth is, but after so many years of Fred's death, and I'm already a handful of old age, knowing that he died at sea has finally solved the doubts I had been in for many years. I have come to see you today for another thing, and I want to bring home his only relic that bears the glory of a family for more than two hundred years, and is older than the history of the United States. ”
Yin Zhen's elbow turned inward, and it was the first time they met for the first time, how could there be excess sympathy to flood.
After listening quietly for a long time, he didn't speak until he heard this, and Yin Yu told him: "The ring has been owned by my friend, and if you want to take it back, you should always ask him what he means, if it weren't for my friend, this would be a headless case, and you should express it a little bit anyway." ”
Zhao Bailu was suddenly embarrassed.
But she wouldn't take Chen Linzhi's things to be a good person, and sent them out for no reason, and then explained: "This is a case that was not filed back then, not to mention that according to you, the truth is not clear, and the effective prosecution period has indeed passed." In addition, the ship that happened on the way back to the United States was probably on the high seas, and it was not under the jurisdiction of American law, and even Superintendent Steiner of the 8th Precinct said that he would return the ring to my friend after the investigation, so ......"
Mr. Pyne's face was abrupt, beckoning the assistant to take the checkbook, and said, "This is a reasonable request, as long as I can get back the relics of the Merlong family, I am willing to pay a certain amount of payment." ”
By Bradley Pine's age, many things have already been seen, and compared to past memories, money is not worth mentioning, and it is enough to see from the way he dresses that he should have some strength.
At the coffee table, Mr. Pine wrote down a check, hesitated for a moment, and finally set the price at $100,000.
He pushed the check in front of Zhao Bailu and Yin Yu, adding:
"The material of the ring is average, and although it has a long history, it only means to me, and it is difficult to sell it at this price even if it is put up at auction.
Give me the ring, and the money will go to your friend, and thank you for letting me know Fred's whereabouts. ”
Zhao Bailu didn't touch the check, because she hadn't asked Chen Linzhi what she thought.
But Yin Zhen, who was first stimulated by this string of dazzling numbers, picked up the check and read it, to avoid getting the pen and ink that had not yet dried, and said decisively: "I thank you for my friend, my brother is open-minded, anyway, I can't find the slightest fault." My friend is a good person and has a good reward, I believe that I will never let go of the opportunity of adult beauty, I will put the check away for him first, and call and ask later, it should be no problem. ”
is reluctant to spend money to buy a big brother, communication is very troublesome, and Chen Linzhi knows nothing about the two of them.
Far away in the town of Bentonville.
Chen Linzhi called Miss Anastasia's house last night and asked her to meet her at a restaurant next to Walmart's headquarters at noon today.
