Chapter 8: Fox Fake

The owner of the grocery store, a big man with a big waist and a round waist, stood at the door of the store together before Evan entered the store, silently paying attention to the play of the bully youth pestering the pure girl, and only returned to the store when the girl fled.

Evan walked into the storefront, there were a lot of goods in the store, but he didn't look at it, he came directly to the store owner, and greeted him through the counter: "Hey, BOSS!"

The boss glanced at Evan, and said with a smile on his face that didn't want money: "Hey, guys, what do you want to buy?" Whether it's a toilet tong or a tongs to screw the faucet, I have it here. ”

"I'm sorry, boss, my house is fine with both the toilet and the faucet," the owner's enthusiasm cooled suddenly, visible to the naked eye, and Evan changed his words, took out a small dark green head Alexander Hamilton (note: $10 face value) from his trouser leg pocket and placed it on the counter, "However, if you can answer me a few questions, it will be yours." ”

The boss looked at Evan with a strange look, pinched the banknote with his thick fingers, shook it in his ear, and the brand-new banknote made a beautiful sound, and he said, "Good luck today, it seems that God has not forgotten my daily prayers." ”

"You ask, young master, I know everything, I can't say anything. ”

"Good, hmm......"

"Call me Jason, young master. ”

"Okay, Jason. Evan wanted to get it done quickly, but he always felt that Jason's smile made people uncomfortable, so he asked directly: "How much do you know about those two people just now?"

Jason's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he immediately understood the purpose of the rich boy in front of him, and I said that the clothes on his body were so familiar, wasn't it the school uniform of the same school as Audrey.

With a big deal, Jason fulfilled his promise and replied, "They, one named Tom and the other named Jerry, are prodigal bastards on this street, making a living from money and leaves. ”

Evan nodded, similar to his own assumptions, "What about their boss?"

Jason looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know much about that." I'm just an ordinary grocery store owner......"

Evan knew at a glance that Jason was lying, but instead of paying attention, he changed the question, "Tell me about that girl." ”

"What do you want to know? Anyway, you're from a school, why not?"

Evan waved his hand and interrupted, "It's none of your business, Jason, and for Alexander Hamilton's sake, tell me what you know." ”

"Well, today, you are the illegitimate son of God's old man. Jason shrugged, "That girl's name is Audrey, you must already know that." ”

"Her house is nearby, the house at house number 1256. ”

"Audrey is a good girl, not only beautiful, but also very capable, and courageous, and can fight back against bad guys. However, she is a girl after all, and her strength cannot be compared to ......"

"They're immigrants, they're from a country in Europe called the Netherlands, well, about three months ago. Do you know where the Netherlands is?"

"Well, when I didn't ask. Jason held up his hands, a little sad that his question was not answered, "Well, her father seems to be Joseph, Joseph Ruston, if I'm not mistaken." He looked decent, immaculately dressed, as if he was working in a bank, but alas, people were a little careless. I guess he still doesn't know who his daughter has run into. ”

As he spoke, Jason stopped at the end of his words.

"That's all?"

Jason spread his hands and sneered, "You know, their family hasn't been here for long......"

Evan frowned and asked, "There are only two fathers and daughters in her family?"

Jason assured: "That's right, just the father and daughter, not even the maid, Audrey often goes to buy the ingredients herself." Assure God that this is true. ”

Evan's heart swelled when he heard this, Audrey's mother was not there, she immigrated to the United States with her father, why did this happen? In his world, her parents should be divorced, she lived with her mother, and her relationship with her father was not good, because her father supported **. But in this world, she is not with her mother, with her relationship with her mother, it is impossible for her to turn her back on her mother, is it ......

Seeing that Evan was silent for a long time, Jason asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Evan shook his head and took out an Abraham Lincoln ($5 face value) from his pocket and placed it in front of Jason, "Thanks, Jason, you deserve it." ”

With that, Evan turned around and went out. As he was about to leave the store, Jason said to his back, "Hey, young man, if you're bold enough to get a taste of the wine, you can try it at Charlie's Bar." ”

Evan didn't mess up the rhythm at all, raised his free right hand and swayed from side to side without looking back, and said, "Thanks, Jason, but, you know, I'm still a minor, and I can't get into the bar." ”

Walking out of the grocery store, Evan put his schoolbag on his shoulder with his backhand, he scratched his head, and thought, when I meet the underworld, as the governor's son, who should I go to?

At this time, a passer-by passed by, and Evan stopped and asked, "Sir, may I ask, how to get to the police station?"

Twenty minutes later, Evan showed up at the Justice Building and Police Department headquarters in South Sacramento.

In the director's office, Director Clarence Wells cleaned his glasses with a cloth while quietly waiting for the end of work.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door, and before Clarence could speak, Joe, his assistant, opened the door and barged in.

Clarence criticized unhappily: "Joe, please pay attention to etiquette, you are a police officer, you should know the rules and politeness." ”

"Taught, Director Wells. Joe said one thing, but when he actually did it, he said, "There's a case here that needs your opinion." ”

"Say it......" Clarence put on his black-rimmed glasses.

"There was a Sacramento High School student who came to report that he had been harassed by two triads. ”

"Huh?" Clarence squinted at Joe, "Before I get angry, you'd better explain when I need to deal with such a trivial matter?"

Joe said without humility or arrogance: "That student said his name was Evan Warren. ”

"I don't care what his name is," Clarence said, "Well, what did he say his name was?"

"Evan Warren!"

"Which Warren?"

"That Warren you think!"

"Then what are you waiting for, invite him in. Clarence straightened his clothes and admonished, "Joe, be polite!"

"Okay. ”

After a while, Evan swaggered into the director's office with his schoolbag and had a cordial but unknown conversation with the director, Clarence.

Half an hour later, when it was time to get off work, Director Clarence and Evan walked out of the Justice Building, talking and laughing. The Director drove Evan home in his car. On the way, the Ford sedan deliberately stayed at a bar called Charlie for about ten minutes.

Before nightfall, Evan returns to the mansion.

That night, Tom and Jerry were beaten up by their boss for 10 minutes, and after receiving a stern warning and a thousand dollars in cash, they boarded the bus to San Francisco.

The next day, in front of Class 10-A, Evan leaned against the wall with his arms folded.

At 7:30, "Princess" Audrey was late.

"Hey, good morning, gentleman, what are you doing here? Wait, what are you pulling me for?"

"Shut up, princess, you should see a doctor if you are injured. ”

“…… How do you know?"

"Because...... I'm a hero!"
