The United States allows land to be operated privately, so the police are not too strange in the face of the seclusion here.

"Yes. In order not to further make the police curious, Liu Zhan simply said yes, because in this way, in the United States, it is tantamount to asserting his territorial sovereignty.

"And what are you doing here, winemaker?"

"yes, that's pretty much it. The officer didn't grasp the irony here.

Liu Zhan continued: "Why did you come here early in the morning?"

The man still had a poker face and said: "I'm looking for the parents of a little girl, and she said her name is Yuan Xiaohua. ”

A terrible fear seized Liu Zhan, and he suddenly felt as cold as a prison." Oh my God, what's wrong?"

"She was detained. ”

"Is she alright?"

"Anyway, there are no injuries, if you want to ask about this. ”

"Thank goodness. I thought you were going to say she had an accident. Liu Zhan's brain began to recover from the shock, "How could she be detained? I thought she was here, asleep in bed!"

"Apparently not. What's your relationship with her?"

"I'm hers... Pal. ”

"Then you need to come to town. "

"How long has she been there?"

"Just one night. We didn't want to detain her for that long, but for a while, she wouldn't tell us where she was. About an hour ago, she had a breakdown. ”

The thought of the poor girl in detention, who had been trying to keep the secret until she broke down, Liu Zhan's heart ached, and she almost burst into tears.

And the policeman said, "I have the address, but it's hard for you to find, and I finally got the way from a bunch of strange guys with guns, in that valley five miles away. "

Liu Zhan nodded: "You're talking about Kerr." ”

"yes, it's that organization, they've got a big fucking sign there, and it says we don't recognize the jurisdiction of the U.S. government, a bunch of scum. ”

"I know them. Liu Zhan said. They are the product of a group of right-wing autonomous groups that once occupied a large farm in the middle of nowhere, where they are now guarded with guns, fantasizing about defending against the Chinese invasion. They are the closest neighbors in this rural area, and it is a coincidence, "Why is Yuan Xiaohua detained? Did she do anything bad?"

"Usually people are detained for doing bad things. The policeman said sarcastically.

"What did she do?"

"She was caught stealing something in the store. ”

Why doesn't she go to a free store in the local area, and she has to do this kind of thing? "What did she steal?"

Speaking of this, the policeman smiled and said, "A large color photo of Leonardo DiCaprio, hehe." ”

Liu Zhan wanted to punch the police in the face, but it wouldn't save Yuan, so he had to thank the police for coming here, and promised that he and Yuan Xiaohua's mother would pick up their daughter from the sheriff's office in the city within an hour.

So the police drove away satisfied.

Liu Zhan went to Yuan Xin's hut, which had doubled in size in the countryside, as a local clinic, Yuan Xin had no medical training, but she learned a lot from her father, who was an internist, and her mother, who was a nurse.

When she was a child, she was already accustomed to all kinds of emergencies in the medical department, and even helped deliver babies. Her room was filled with bandage boxes, and jars and jars of ointments, aspirin, cough pills, and birth control pills.

In such a poor and remote place, it is a very great thing to have a doctor to treat the disease, and thanks to her, Wu Ming feels more comfortable with the water and soil.

After Liu Zhan woke her up and told her the bad news, Yuan Xin suddenly became hysterical, she hated the police almost as much as he did, she was beaten with batons during demonstrations, she was used by undercover police with drugs of very low quality, and once she was rounded up by detectives in the police station. She jumped out of bed all at once, screamed, and started hitting him, and he held her wrist and tried to calm her down.

"We need to get her back!" Yuan Xin shouted.

"Of course. He said, "You get dressed first, okay?"

She stopped struggling: "Okay. ”

When she was wearing jeans, he said, "I remember you told me before that you were molested when you were 10 years old. ”

"Yes, there was a nasty old police officer with a cigarette in his mouth, and he put his dirty hand on my chest, saying that I would grow up to be a great beauty. ”

"If you go there and get angry and put yourself in prison, you won't be able to save Yuan Xiaohua. He noted.

She controlled her emotions and said, "You're right, Liu Zhan. For the sake of Yuan Xiaohua, we must curry favor with those who kill a thousand knives. ”

She combed her hair and looked at herself in a small mirror, "Okay, I'm ready to eat." ”

Liu Zhan has always believed that it is best to dress formally when dealing with the police in the United States.

After getting dressed up, and then, after he and Yuan Xin got into the car and drove onto the county road, Liu Zhan said, "She went out last night, why didn't we notice?"

"I went to tell her goodnight, but Luo Shengyi said she went to the bathroom. ”

Luo Shengyi must have known the situation and helped her cover up."

Luo Shengyi is the daughter of the local Lao Luo, twelve years old this year, and is Yuan Xiaohua's best friend. ”

"I went back again, but the candles were out, and the whole shack was dark, and I didn't want to wake them up. I never dreamed of it..."

"Who would have thought that? The child stayed in her house every night, and who would have thought she would run out. "

They drove around town, and the sheriff's office was next to the courthouse.

They walked into a dimly lit hall with yellowed newspaper clippings of old murders, and behind a window there was a reception with a walkie-talkie and a doorbell.

A police officer in a khaki shirt and a green tie said, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Xin said: "My name is Yuan Xin, and my daughter is here. ”

Officer Ray-Ban stared at them intently, and Liu Zhan knew he was watching them, wondering what kind of parents they were.

He said, "Please wait. And then it was gone.

Liu Zhan lowered his voice and said to Yuan Xin: "I think we should pretend to be citizens with a good attitude and abide by the law, and we are at a loss for what our children have done wrong, and we only have deep respect for law enforcement officers. ”

Before the Omega archives were unearthed, Liu Zhan didn't want to be exposed to the eyes of the bigwigs and politicians of the United States with Donglong's people so quickly.

"Got it. Yuan Xin said stiffly.

A door opened, and the officers let them in.

"Mr. and Mrs. Yuan. He said. Liu Zhan did not correct him.

"Please follow me. He led them into a conference room with a gray carpet and featureless modern furnishings.

One day, she would be as strong and sexy as her mother, but now she was only thirteen years old, just a skinny weird child, but at this moment, her face was full of displeasure, her eyes were teary, but she didn't seem to be hurt.

Yuan Xin hugged her quietly, and so did Liu Zhan.

Yuan Xin said, "Child, did you spend last night in prison?"

Yuan Xiaohua shook her head and said, "In someone else's house." She said.

The officer explained: "California has strict rules and regulations that juvenile offenders can't be kept with adult offenders, so we found some people in the city who were willing to take in juvenile offenders overnight. Yuan Xiaohua stayed at Miss Lina's house last night, Miss Lina is a local teacher who happens to be the sister of the county sheriff. "

Liu Zhan asked Yuan Xiaohua, "Is it okay there?" The child nodded silently.

Liu Zhan's nervous mood relaxed a little, you must know that in the United States, what kind of perversion will appear, and some children may encounter more terrible things.

The officer said, "Mr. and Mrs. Yuan, please be seated. I am a probation officer, and dealing with juvenile delinquents is one of my responsibilities. They sat down.

Yuan Xiaohua was accused of stealing a large celebrity color photo worth 9.99 meters from a music store. ”

Yuan Xin turned to her daughter and said, "I really don't understand." She said, "Why would you go and steal a broken movie star poster?"

Yuan Xiaohua suddenly became energetic, she shouted: "I just want it, okay? I just want it!" As she spoke, she cried.

Liu Zhan said to the officer, "We want to bring our daughter home as soon as possible, what do we need to do?"

"Mr. Yuan, I have to tell you that Yuan Xiaohua did this kind of thing, and the heaviest punishment may be to stay in prison until she is twenty-one years old. "

"Oh my God!" Liu Zhan exclaimed.

"But, I don't want the first offense to be punished so severely, you tell me, has the child ever been in trouble before?"

"Never. ”

"Are you surprised that she would do such a thing?"

"It was unexpected. ”

"We're all stupefied." Yuan Xin said.

The police began to investigate their family life and try to find out if Yuan Xiaohua was being adequately cared for.

Liu Zhan answered most of the questions, giving the impression that they were nothing more than honest farm workers, and he said nothing about their lives and beliefs.

When the police officer asked him where Yuan Xiaohua went to school, Liu Zhan explained that a school had been opened in the village.

The police officers seemed pleased with the answers, and Yuan Xiaohua had to sign a guarantee to appear in court at 10 a.m. one day in four weeks. The police demanded that one of the parents must sign, and Yuan Xin complied, and they did not need to pay bail, leaving the sheriff's office in less than an hour.

When he got outside, Liu Zhan said: "Yuan Xiaohua, it's not that after you say this, you are not a good boy, you have done something stupid, but your mother will still love you as before, you just remember this, we will talk about the details when we go home." ”

They drove back to the village.

Until then, this secluded village had never been brought to the attention of the police, there were no thefts here, because they didn't recognize private property, and sometimes they would fight, but it was all handled internally, and there were no fatalities here, because they didn't have a phone to call the police, they didn't break any laws, but now, the place is on the map.
