Chapter 9: A Trip to Los Angeles
Los Angeles, the "City of Angels", a paradise for the rich. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info omit 10,000 words below....
Venice Corniche, Metropolitan Associates, Tam. Hank is a partner at Los Angeles Metropolitan Associates, and is still a bit well-known in Los Angeles. In his early 40s, he is slightly bald, tall, obese, and has a good face.
Hank looked at the family sitting on the black leather sofa in front of him, the Chinese people are hot now, and the performance of the Chinese people in the international arena in recent years is that they are rich... It's so rich!
Hank cheered up and said, "Gentlemen, ladies. It's an honor to serve you. Lawyer Huang has already told me the basic situation. Time is money, I'll get straight to the point, forgive me for being straightforward! $20,000 to get a not-guilty verdict within half a year. For $50,000, I will personally get it in 2 months. For $100,000, we can sue the Los Angeles police and the Barstow police, and incidentally the California Department of Transportation. ”
Hank picked up the coffee on the coffee table and drank it lightly, "I suggest you choose the third option. Because I'm so sure I'll get a portion of that $400,000, you probably don't have to pay a cent! ”
Qin Mu looked at the lawyer in front of him in surprise, and then looked at the expressions of his family, and was really as surprised as himself: "Mr. Hank, you want to sue so many departments?" Can you get your money back from the bank? How can it be? ”
Hank smiled slightly: "Mr. Qin, this is the United States. Anything is possible, but only if you have the money, of course! This case was written 30 years ago, and it has a certain sensation in itself, and it is excellent news, so I can play as big as I want, and if I have the opportunity, I am very willing to sue the President of the United States. Let's pay attention! It can attract the attention of the media, so that we will win half of the lawsuit, you know, the government department is most afraid of making things bigger, because they are not clean under the butt. ”
Hank paused for a moment, and then said: "In addition, I have learned a little bit about this robbery, the bank and the insurance company have a reward, I have to check the specific amount, considering that the inflation amount should not be low." $100,000, provided not guilty. How much money you can get back, of course, depends on a little luck. ”
Qin Mu gritted his teeth fiercely: "Let's choose 100,000." ”
Hank stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation, sir, you are very wise. I'll take care of the rest, sign the contract. You can go back to Barstow, and you will need to stay for a few days. ”
Zhang Hanming put his family in the car and returned to Hank's office. Hank invited Zhang Hanming to another smaller office next door, and the two sat opposite each other.
Hank looked at Zhang Hanming and said with a smile: "Zhang, no matter what I ask you now, you have to be realistic and answer me in great detail." Plus, it's safe here! ”
Zhang Hanming nodded affirmatively.
"How did you find the suspect Crewe vehicle?"
"I found it on a hike."
"Is there a cell phone signal in that place?"
"No signal."
Hank asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure."
"Okay, you were going to call the police at the first time, but unfortunately there was no signal. Am I right? ”
Zhang Hanming looked at Hank, who was smiling and staring at him, and immediately reacted: "You're right. That's what I said at the police station! ”
"Good, you're witty! Why did you choose cremation? ”
Zhang Hanming was stunned: "I think it's more convenient after cremation, I can take it away easily." ”
"No... No... You should admit that you did something wrong and should not break the glass because there are often grizzly bears in the neighborhood and you are worried about the safety of the body, so you choose cremation. When you returned to Barsto, the first thing you did was arrange for Crewe to be buried? ”
"Yes."
"Did you use that bill before the bank?"
"Yes, I plan to buy a permanent cemetery for Crewe in the cemetery, but the cemetery does not accept old banknotes. I rented a small cemetery at my own expense. ”
"Excellent! Did you reach out to Crewe's parents before you went to the bank? Was the contact details found in the car? “
After answering a few questions, Zhang Hanming became familiar with the road, "Yes, the address and phone number found on a photo." But when it was cremated, it burned together. I didn't move the things on Crewe, and they burned together. ”
"What are your plans for contacting Crewe's parents?"
"I'm going to give them half of the money. I take half of the pay. ”
Hank shook his head hurriedly, "No... No... You're planning to return everything to its rightful owner, of course... You won't refuse payment either. Remember! This is important. ”
Zhang Hanming was slightly stunned, and quickly nodded.
Hank continued: "You are very sad to hear the news that Hank's parents are dead, and you went to the bank to change new money to buy a cemetery for Duru, right? ”
"Yes."
Hank said as he took notes, "You're very lucky, the bank that Durroux robbed went bankrupt more than ten years ago, and we have one less bank rival. It's all a bunch of vampires."
Zhang Hanming smiled: "Sir, why are we suing the California Transportation Authority?" ”
Hank smiled happily, showing his yellowed teeth: "Duru was innocent before he was convicted, and even if he was convicted, he was an American citizen." He drove his car down the valley, a stretch of road that I was familiar with, and the guardrails had been installed only a few years earlier. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the traffic management department. I'll help Crewe sue them for free. ”
"What an upright man you are, sir!"
"Huh... Who's to say it's not? Sheet... The burial of Duru and the contact with his parents were very right, and these two points can prove to the judge that you are an upright, kind, and not greedy person. Judges and juries will love you. Of course... I reckon the LAPD will settle out of court with us, after all, Duru didn't hurt anyone. The 30-year-old robbery media will also be very fond of it. I immediately contacted my friends in the media and asked them to report for a few days, and then we went to the Los Angeles police to talk to them. You find a place to stay in Los Angeles first, and remember not to run around, not to cause trouble. ”
Zhang Hanming found a hotel near the law firm to stay, and except for going out to eat, he stayed honestly in a simple and tidy room.
The nightlife of Los Angeles, like its population, is as diverse as its population, with a variety of styles from all over the world! Extravagant celebrity bars, filthy speakeasies, there's so much variety that you might need to spend years exploring. But for the time being, it's none of Zhang Hanming's business!
At night, Zhang Hanming was half lying on the bed, and suddenly thought of something, got out of bed and stood up. Looking at the other side of the bed, my mind moved! As expected, his mana is useless when he leaves Barstow, is it only useful in his own territory? But although he can't hide and hide, it has no effect on Zhang Hanming's ghost, looking down from the window of the room, there is a middle-aged standing on the side of the road, guarding the road. Zhang Hanming was in a bad mood, so he didn't pay much attention.
For the next 3 days, Zhang Hanming stayed in the hotel honestly, cooperating with Hank's work, and the media also got Hank's revelations, and the major media also reported the robbery 30 years ago to a greater or lesser extent.
Although the police have not yet said what charges Zhang Hanming will be charged, Hank's preconceived revelations to reporters hinted that he is suspected of bank robbery and hiding dirty.
After the media reported on the media, the people of Los Angeles, who claimed to be free, stopped doing it! Los Angeles TV also did a special street interview.
"Hi... Hello. I'm a reporter for Los Angeles TV, do you know about the recent Dulu bank robbery? ”
The young white guy posed for the camera and replied, "The one from 30 years ago?" ”
"Yes. Do you think that Chinese man is guilty? ”
"I think that Chinese guy is so stupid! More than 400,000 are gone! Well... Are you kidding me? 30 years ago when he was 1 year old? All right... Even if he's 2 years old. Are the police all fools? A case that can't be solved in 30 years, and they still get such good benefits? I...."
"Yes, thank you sir."
"Hi... I'm not done yet! ”
As soon as the picture turned, this time it was a middle-aged uncle who answered, with a straight suit: "After the young man found the body of the robber, he tried to contact his family, and I think his approach is very reasonable." The robber was hateful, but his parents were innocent. A little news that there have been no children for 30 years, is it born? Is it death? A pair of poor old men! ”
"Dirty? Isn't it premeditated to hide dirt? ”
Three days later, Hank informed Zhang Hanming that everything was done. The police and prosecutors decided not to prosecute Zhang Hanming and reached an out-of-court settlement, and after Hank's efforts, he got $70,000 on the grounds that Zhang Hanming was rewarded for helping solve the case!
A good $400,000 has become minus $30,000! Zhang Hanming left Los Angeles in a rage. Whoever you change, no one is angry! After a busy night, I didn't catch anything, and I took 30,000 yuan!
Back at Barstow at noon, the family told Zhang Hanming the good news that the newly bought house was sold. Swap back to $650,000, almost three times the price!
"Originally, I didn't plan to sell it, so I wondered how those foreigners were willing to pay such a high price. Later, I found out that they had taken a fancy to our land temple, and I guess the two small things I brought from Huaxia were antiques. However, they promised me that there would be no changes to the Land Temple. Later, Lawyer Huang helped us get more than 200,000 yuan, so I sold them! Son... This should be a blessing for Seon to lose his horse, right? ”
Zhang Hanming was shocked, gave his mother a few perfunctory words, and went back to the room. Walk into the room and immediately summon your own two artifacts.,It's okay.。。。 The crutches and wooden signs appeared in an instant, and Zhang Hanming was relieved! After the disaster, I slept beautifully.
At dinner in the evening, his family told him the good news that Gao Bo's shop had been turned down. Now the store is Zhang Hanming's, and Gao Bo has already handed over to Zhang Hanming's mother this afternoon!
After dinner, Zhang Hanming lay quietly on the bed, after having the magical land ability, how did Zhang Hanming feel that he was still very aggrieved, a good 400,000 fly, fortunately the family has some savings, if you can't hire a good lawyer, you will have to go to prison. What went wrong? Zhang Hanming feels that there is nothing wrong with him!
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Hanming felt that he was unlucky, and he just happened to run into a robber! Is it the wrong route? What route are you going to take? Do you want to make a lot of money? Or be an American-style superhero! Superman? Batman? Don't tease.... His own abilities are also useful to Barsto!
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Hanming still couldn't make up his mind, and finally decided to make money first! It's inconvenient to have nothing without money! How are you going to make money? Think about your strengths first. I have no advantage except for the ability of the land! Can you see ghosts, help them fulfill their wishes, and get paid? Forget it, I just came back from Los Angeles! Can you teleport incognito and rob a bank in Barstow? Well... It's not impossible, the key is that the money grabbed is not easy to spend! Let's not think about it for now. Barstow is too small, and his abilities are not very useful!
Zhang Hanming thought about it and suddenly turned over and got up from the bed: "Why did they buy the Land Temple?" ”
Zhang Hanming decided to check it out.
