Chapter 11 The stupid honesty of asking for a treat
In the Chinese restaurant, Silly Honest and Weekend sat together, there were four dishes in front of them, these four dishes cost as much as 100 US dollars in LA's Chinatown, if you count the 5%-20% tip, it is likely to be mentioned, but Silly Honest today reluctantly pulled the weekend to this Chinese restaurant, and the weekend can be seen Silly Honest's distressed look, after people sat at the table and asked for a bottle of beer, except for pouring wine into their mouths, they basically didn't move a few chopsticks.
"Honest brother, are you going to give yourself a full meal?"
The weekend is very tiring today, from getting up in the morning to eating early to being pulled by Adam to the scene of the crime, and then following Adam downstairs at the Cecil Hotel to find the suspect who may be hiding among the long-term guests of the hotel, until now, his tired fart is cold. What I didn't expect was that I finally called it a day, and drove back to Chinatown and was pulled here by the stupid honest waiting on the side of the road, he will always remember what the stupid honest said when he got into the car: "Officer Zhou, I have never sat in such a luxurious car in my life, you are a capable person, a great ability." ”
This sentence and the honest sincerity made him unable to get off the stage on the weekend, and he pinched his heart there, he could see that this man used his shoulders to provoke the hard work of a family, and at the same time, he could also see that the stupid and honest must have something to ask for his humility.
"I'm not hungry, Officer Zhou, you eat yours, I want to talk to you."
Silly looked at the dishes on the table with a look that made people not know what to say, but after just one glance, he immediately closed his gaze and raised his head to look at the weekend.
"Officer Zhou, my nephew also came out a few days ago, and spent 200,000 yuan to find an intermediary in China, and the situation in their family is slightly better than ours, but if you take out 200,000 yuan, you have to press the house and land with the bank. To be honest, my nephew is more honest than me, let alone going abroad, I haven't been out of the village a few times, and the farthest place is to go to the temple fair in the county seat, and he didn't know that he had to wear kitchen shoes when he came to work in the back kitchen of a restaurant. ”
Listening to the stupid honest words on the weekend, he already knew what the stupid honest was about to say......
"This kid is too honest, people are lazy and slippery in the back kitchen to earn $2,500, this kid is as stupid and honest as a cow, I can smoke sweat every day, but just like that, I only get $1,800 in a fellow restaurant."
"Okay, we've admitted all of this, who made us incompetent? Who doesn't know that the daughter-in-law, parents, and children at home are all around to be comfortable, we are not cheap and not at home, we really can't make money, even if we go to the construction site to work hard, we can earn up to 6,000 yuan a month, and we have to worry about accidents at any time, but here, I can earn 4,000 US dollars a month by setting up a breakfast stall, and I can save a full 3,000 US dollars a month. ”
After a little movement over the weekend, he could understand the hard work of being stupid and honest, and he also knew that the country of rice was neither heaven nor hell, but when such a living example was placed in front of him, it was inevitable to be touched.
"Oh, I'm talking a little too much, or my nephew. This kid doesn't know what evil he has fallen into.,Regardless of whether it's good or bad, it's mixed with a guy with yellow hair.,I know that this kid's background is definitely not clean.,I didn't persuade him a few times.,No,It's still an accident.。 ”
"Caught?" Asked over the weekend.
But isn't it, if the stupid and honest nephew is not arrested, why would he treat him to dinner so extravagantly?
This is only 4,000 yuan a month, even counting rent, water, electricity, food, drink, and Lazar, and can save 3,000 US dollars for the people who call the family. The gown on his body has only been changed once since he first came to LA a few days over the weekend, and he is still wearing this outfit.
"Officer Zhou, in fact, I'm not a thing, when I saw you, I wanted to ask you about it, but I didn't dare, everyone who came to the United States knows that there is such a Chinatown in Los Angeles, but foreign people are thin, and the most ruthless of our Chinese in this pit is not foreigners, but the Chinese themselves. I'm not saying you're bad, or you're ......" When he spoke, he didn't dare to look into the eyes of the weekend, lowered his head and kept blaming himself, and finally didn't even know what to say.
"So I'm looking for an opportunity to get to you every day, but it's really hard to do you a favor."
Hearing this, the weekend felt almost over, and interrupted: "Say it, but don't expect me as a little cop to help much, if I really break the law, there is nothing I can do." ”
"Don't worry, he won't." Silly and honestly said with certainty: "Officer Zhou, I also went to the lawyer yesterday to inquire, but when the lawyer heard that it was a black worker, not only did the price double but he didn't give any protection, he couldn't even be released on bail, I listened to a bunch of nonsense and put a lot of money into it." How can we have money, even if the lawyer promises to get people out, I'm afraid this side will not be able to pay the lawyer's fees. ”
"Didn't you go to the police station where he was arrested?" I asked curiously over the weekend.
"Go, but I don't understand, how can this kid ......" stupidly and honestly stretched out his hand and opened his five fingers vigorously, gritted his teeth and kept panting with his nose, I am afraid this is the most honest man can express his anger at this time.
Weekend seemed to understand, he couldn't imagine how Silly Honest endured in such a lonely environment, after all, he had been here for a full eleven years without incident, maybe the desire to change his family environment had always supported him, perhaps, this was a path he had to stick to. This road was chosen by myself, and I chose to go abroad in an ignorant way, and after piecing together a lot of foreign debts, I can't go back without mixing everything and looking around, right?
It's just that his nephew may not be able to endure the environment that he can honestly endure, young people love to be lively, and if there is an attractive and amiable friend in an environment like Los Angeles, it is difficult to separate these two people.
"What happened? How many days have you been captured? ”
"I took the bus to the 77th block police station, but when I got to the door, I couldn't even go in, if it wasn't for the police to find a Chinese policeman like you, he told me that kid helped people transport benzene-propyl-amine, I might stand at the door of the police station for a day and squat for a day and couldn't figure out what's going on?"
On the weekend, he was not curious that he couldn't speak English after coming to the United States for eleven years, and he admired that such a black worker had the ability to run to the police station for his nephew!
In his stupid and honest thinking, I am afraid that when he sees the police, he will face the tension of having no identity, but even so he still went, and was forced to go.
At the end of the week, I felt that this matter seemed to be a bit big, benzene-propyl-amine is the main synthetic material of ice-chlorphetamine, and it is absolutely illegal to sell and transport this thing without permission, and it is impossible to hand over people to the immigration bureau for deportation in this case.
"Let me tell you briefly, he's transporting the main material for the drug."
Silly and honestly, he piled down on the chair: "It's over, it's over, this is a death sentence...... his eyes are very empty.
"Brother honest, don't be afraid, the laws here in the United States are different from those in China, and the sentencing standards are not the same. Well, I'll go to the 77th block tomorrow and ask you, let's eat first. ”
"Officer Zhou, you eat, you eat, don't let my bad thing make you lose your appetite." After speaking, he sat there in a daze, and occasionally muttered: "It's only been a few days, why do you want to abuse yourself......"
On the weekend, the two of them sat facing each other, and they were left in a daze.
