Yan Tao had nothing to say this time.

Fu Min looked at him with a smile and said: "Taozi, there is no need to ask for instructions from China on this matter, we can't shirk this kind of honor, this is to win glory for the country, how about it, get ready!" ”

At this time, Jones suddenly remembered something, quickly took out the phone, said a few words, and then ran to the door to open the door.

Two staff members were already standing at the door, carrying several sets of clothes.

Jones looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening dress that Mrs. Leon has prepared for you, you can try it on, if nothing else, it should fit, although it is not custom-made, we all buy it according to your body size." ”

Yan Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Miss Jones, that one is grateful...... But I'm really not used to wearing tuxedos or anything, can I wear my own clothes? ”

Jones smiled: "Officer Yan, you are really joking, it is your freedom to wear clothes, you can wear whatever you want."

"But I'm sure you're not going to go into the party in shorts, right?"

Jones's words made everyone laugh.

Jones looked at everyone and said, "Madame Leon is mainly thinking that the ladies may not prepare dresses this time, so I want to express my heart."

"The United States is an open country, not as old-fashioned as Europe, ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to wear whatever you want to do.

"And this is a private party, and Madame Leon will not invite too many friends to it, considering your feelings. The gentleman who was invited may have a personal entourage in addition to the governor and the police chief, and the lady did not want to snub her distinguished guests by inviting too many people.

"Of course. In view of the fact that Mr. Governor is going to confer the title of honorary citizen on Officer Yan and his wife, there may be friends from the media present. But rest assured, apart from the Governor and his wife and Miss Martha, I am the only one who is present, and the police chief does not know, because he does not have my other identity. ”

This time, a lesson was learned, the woman did not rush up to look at the evening dress, but sent it to everyone by Fu Min one by one according to the name above, the fabric of the evening dress is basically glitter satin, according to the age and personality. There is also a slight difference in style.

Fu Min is a black evening dress, Tao Jing is slightly golden, Qiu Ya is sapphire blue, Xun Xinyu is white, and Yun Yang is lilac, this lilac hue is very similar to a kind of wild flower called forget-me-not, which looks noble and atmospheric, without losing the vitality of youth.

The clerks were very attentive and matched each evening dress with corresponding gloves and shawls.

Yan Tao's dress was not the tuxedo he had originally imagined. Instead, it was a crisp dark suit with a white shirt and tie.

Of course, people will not believe that this was personally selected by the governor's wife, although the American is known for the clear distinction between public and private, but as the governor's wife. There must be many people who are willing to help, how can they do everything themselves.

The group flew directly to Phoenix in a special large helicopter.

At Fu Min's request, they went to the Huaxia Consulate first. They got the dresses that the consulate had prepared for them.

Coincidentally, except for the slight difference in style. The fabrics and colors are hardly different from the gifts given to everyone by Madame Leon.

After consultation with the staff of the consulate, in order to show respect for Madame León. Everyone still wore the evening dress she sent, but since it was a party, there must be a changing room, and everyone could change it halfway, which could also give people a refreshing feeling.

Yan Tao didn't change into a suit, still wearing his jacket.

The atmosphere of the party was harmonious and warm, and according to the prior agreement, a simple but solemn ceremony was held before the start of the party, and Mr. and Mrs. Yan Tao were awarded the title of honorary citizens by Mr. and Mrs. Leon, the governor of Arizona.

Then, he made an impromptu speech in which he praised Mr. Yan Tao, a police officer from Huaxia, for his outstanding contribution to the investigation of the murder of Congressman James.

Sure enough, as expected, many people came from various media, and unexpectedly, our Xinhua News Agency also sent someone over and made a simple interview with Yan Tao alone.

After the party, Leon sent everyone to a nearby hotel, stayed for one night, and the next morning, sent them back to the town by helicopter.

Jones and Martha accompanied everyone back to the town, and Martha got along very well with this group of beautiful Oriental girls, and admired the legendary police officer very much, and volunteered to be everyone's tour guide.

Mr. and Mrs. Leon were also very open-minded and supportive of their daughter's idea, but they asked Miss Jones to take care of Martha, so that Jones became everyone's free tour guide.

In the living room on the first floor of the hotel, Jones looked at Yan Tao and Xun Xinyu with some embarrassment and said, "Maybe Mr. Governor has forgotten my other identity, in fact, it is not suitable for me to be with everyone all the time......"

Yan Tao shook his head with a smile and said, "Miss Jones, you think too much, just as Miss Xun will not do anything harmful to your country when she comes to your country this time, although your identity is special, we will not think that you are spying on us because of this."

"No matter what your status is, we can be friends, and if you don't do anything harmful to our national interests, we also welcome you to Spring City as a guest."

Jones thanked him, then smiled and said, "Officer Yan, can you tell us what you want from our police now?" It can't just get a confirmation from the state police department, right? ”

Yan Tao shook his head and said, "Thank you, Miss Jones, but not for the time being, we Huaxia people pay attention to courtesy before soldiers, we still have to give them a chance, if they can take the initiative to cooperate, we will save a lot of trouble, and at the same time, it will be much more beneficial to their mother and daughter in sentencing."

"The highest level of law is not punishment, but education and reform, which is our consistent purpose."

Jones sighed: "Officer Yan, you make me sincerely admire, not only because of your wisdom and experience, but also because of your love, you are really a lovely police officer. God will bless you as a couple with peace and happiness throughout your life. ”

Yan Tao took Qiu Ya aside and took out a copy of the letter of commitment and confirmation issued by the Arizona State Police Department and handed it to her. Then after a few simple explanations, Qiu Ya was ready to leave.

Jones looked at Qiu Ya. Turning his head and asking Yan Tao, "Is Mrs. Lin going out to find Jessea?" Our police station car is just outside, if it's convenient, I'll go with her, right? ”

Yan Tao smiled: "If there is Miss Jones to accompany you, it will be more persuasive, then thank you." ”

Less than ten minutes after the two went out, Qiu Ya called Yan Tao: "Officer Yan, my mother-in-law is willing to cooperate with us to return the stolen money."

"She wants to talk to you in person, though, and I want you to give him a chance. Officer Jones went to pick you up. ”

Obviously, this call was made in front of Guan Sumei, and even the title was very official.

Yan Tao smiled: "Okay, Qiu Ya, I'll go over right away." ”

Putting down the phone, he gestured to everyone in victory.

Several ladies cheered, and even Martha happily hugged everyone.

When Yan Tao came to the door, Jones's car happened to drive in front of the door, a beautiful drift. Directly turned his head and stopped.

Jones winked at him, "Officer Yan, please get in the car, Jones is willing to serve you." ”

Yan Tao smiled and opened the right door. I got into the car, nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Jones." ”

Jones was caught off guard and kissed him on the left side of his face, and the extremely elastic touch and wetness still remained in Yan Tao's impression. The car had already scurried out like an arrow from a string.

Yan Tao shook his head helplessly, this black woman is simply a crazy person when driving. and the gentle expression in the living room.

With an exaggerated sound of brakes, the car stopped steadily in front of Guan Sumei's house. Jones turned around and smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth: "Officer Yan, please get out of the car." ”

Yan Tao rang the doorbell, and it was Lin Haimei who came to open the door, and her mother Guan Suzhen and sister-in-law Qiu Ya stood behind her and greeted each other at the door.

After a cursory look, this living room was very large, almost the same size as the hotel Yan Tao and the others rented.

Yan Tao nodded to Guan Sumei and smiled slightly: "Ms. Jessia, this should be the second time we have met, right?" Remember that time on the plane, you punched our colleague in the mouth? ”

Guan Sumei's face turned red, and she sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Officer Yan, my temper is rather short-tempered, and I ask for your understanding and your colleagues." ”

Yan Tao shook his head: "I'm just joking, it's been so long, who will really care, it was just a misunderstanding at the time."

"However, Ms. Jesia, it is true that you have a hot temper, if not, where would there be these thirty years of grievances and grievances, separated by flesh and blood?"

After speaking, she glanced back at Lin Haimei, and it was obvious that this poor girl had just cried, and her eyes were still red.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Jones at the door smiled and said, "Officer Yan, you talk, I'll wait in the car." ”

Yan Tao looked at Guan Sumei and said, "If Ms. Jessea doesn't mind, please come in and sit with Officer Jones, we don't have anything to talk about openly." ”

Jessea nodded and said, "In that case, let's ask Officer Jones to come in and sit together." ”

Several people sat on the sofa, and Yan Tao asked, "Ms. Jesseya, do you have anything to say when you came to me?" ”

Jessea was silent for a while, looked up at her daughter who was crying lovingly, sighed and said, "Officer Yan, please tell me, we will cooperate with the mainland police to return all the money, does that person have a chance to live?" ”

Yan Tao shook his head and said, "I don't want to lie to you, Jessia, I don't count on this matter, and it will be up to the court to decide in the end." ”

After speaking, he also glanced at Lin Haimei, whose tears had been flowing silently down his cheeks, exhaled softly, and then said: "However, I will try my best to fight for you as a police officer, especially Haimei's attitude, I will truthfully write it into my closing report."

"At the same time, the family members actively cooperate with the return of stolen goods, which is also a discretionary mitigating circumstance, according to the trend of trial practice in our country in recent years, the death penalty is prudently used for crimes in the economic field, especially those that can be returned in full, I think, Lin Ziheng is very likely to save his life."

Guan Sumei stretched out her hand and pulled her daughter to her side, gently wiped away her tears, sighed and said: "I don't want my daughter to lose her father because of me, even if he is locked up in prison, the child will always have a sustenance, the most sorry person in my life is Haimei, I shouldn't bring her into this world for myself and let her suffer with me......"

As she spoke, her eyes moistened.

Jones looked at Yan Tao, who nodded.

Jones said solemnly: "I understand your mood at the moment, Jessea, now that the situation is here, you have actually lost the initiative, our American police will fully cooperate with Officer Yan, and all the stolen money will be returned, and your people, we will also transfer them to the Huaxia police through diplomatic channels."

"The reason why Officer Yan can sit here and talk to you calmly is because he considers that they are both descendants of Huaxia, after all, they have the same roots and origins, and he wants to give you one last chance, I hope you can seize it."

Yan Tao nodded and said: "Officer Jones is telling the truth, but regarding the future of your mother and daughter, I have consulted senior lawyers who handle similar cases in China, and they believe that if you can take the initiative to cooperate with the police to return the stolen money and take the initiative to surrender, Haimei is very likely to be exempted from punishment."

"Ms. Jesia's personal freedom should also be guaranteed, but the mainland judicial department is likely to impose a penalty of deporting you and not being able to set foot in mainland Chinese territory for a few years."

Guan Sumei and Lin Haimei's eyes lit up at the same time, and they asked in unison, "Is this true?" ”

Yan Tao nodded.

Jones smiled slightly: "Judging from past cases, if Officer Yan Tao tries his best, he should be able to achieve the most optimistic result." ”

Qiu Ya also sat down next to Guan Sumei gently, grabbed one of her arms, and said, "Mom, I believe in Officer Yan, he is a police officer who is extremely serious about handling cases, and at the same time, he also has a compassionate heart.

"For fear of making you angry, I didn't mention to you my other mother-in-law, oh no, it's the case of my aunt Guan Suzhen, who is now on bail pending trial with the help of Officer Yan, and the lawyer said that the next step, after the trial, should be able to give a suspended sentence, that is, to get personal freedom.

"I know some things about Officer Yan, as long as it is a suspect who sincerely repents, he will try his best to help them get a chance to get a lighter punishment.

"I told you that Lin Haipeng once did something sorry for him, but he didn't hold a grudge because of it, but helped us without reservation."

Jesseya patted Qiu Ya's hand lightly and said, "Child, you are a sensible woman, Haipeng is not worthy of you, I know him, Sister Suzhen spoiled him." (To be continued......)
