Chapter 149: Someone Adds to the Fire and Someone Cools Down
At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun reached the house, and Bei Hai woke up in a daze. I raised my hand and looked at my watch, and it was still forty minutes before nine o'clock as agreed with Matt, and then I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth or something.
Yesterday, the three captains on Bei Hai's side didn't discuss too many useful things, and in the end, Diego made a little business and agreed to Bei Hai to rent his network number to Bei Hai from time to time. As for the Hunter, the four captains didn't seem to have discussed anything useful, but Mel was full of enthusiasm and served the ball attentively.
Changing into loose clothes and pants and covering a down jacket, Bei Hai jumped into his pickup truck and drove towards Matt's home.
As soon as he approached the edge of the town along the road, Bei Hai heard a car honking at him behind him, and he looked in the rearview mirror to see that it was Joshua, a member of the Democratic Party. Plum.
Bei Hai didn't recognize it, because Joshua was wearing a gray jacket and a gray baseball cap on his head, and he didn't look like a city candidate at all, plus he was driving an old Chevrolet pickup truck, and the pickup truck also held a family speedboat behind it. Looks more like a fisherman than a politician.
Pulling over to the side of the road, Bei Hai waited for Joshua's car to come over and asked, "Going to sea today?" ”。
"I asked someone to go fishing and relax," Joshua pressed the window of the car and explained to Bei Hai, and then asked, "Where are you going?" ”。
"Go to Matt's to make smoked fish," Bei Hai also said directly.
Joshua nodded invisibly when he heard this: "I heard that you are going to sue the Gloucester Police Department?" ”。
Bei Hai smiled and said, "Your news is quite well-informed." Yes, maybe my lawyer will file a lawsuit in the next few days."
Joshua shook his head: "Today, the written text of the Boston court has been passed to the sheriff's office!" Because of what? ”。
"You want to be a lobbyist?" Seeing Joshua so active, and stopping his car on the road, he was so eager to ask. Bei Hai asked directly.
If Joshua inserts a lever here to calm things down, Bei Hai thinks it's really difficult to do. Because Joshua helped him in Qi Yiming's matter, although it could be regarded as an exchange to support his election, Bei Hai knew that if he did this by himself, it would not be something that could be done with tens of thousands of dollars. The change of direction is equivalent to owing a little favor to others, if Joshua has the intention of interceding, Bei Hai can only seriously consider it. It's such a small town. Joshua knew the sheriff, that's for sure.
Fortunately, Joshua replied, "What am I doing, this sheriff is now appointed by the mayor." What's the matter with me! I'm not trying to make you stop, but there's something I want for you that you can pass on to your lawyer and see if it works! ”。
Depend on! Hearing this, Bei Hai understood. Feelings Joshua is here to fall into the well, and he is very happy!
"Then I want to thank you!" Bei Hai smiled and thanked him.
The smile on Joshua's face also became a little bigger: "For such scum in the police force, it is better to beat it as soon as possible, or it will make a bigger mistake in the future, such as causing another Baltimore!" ”。
Look at what people say, even if they record it with a tape recorder now, they can't point to witnesses, and they fall into the well neatly, and they can speak righteously and solemnly.
"What did you send me to your email address or what did you say?" Bei Hai looked at the watch. I really don't have much time, and I still have to smoke fish with Matt, and I still have a hundred pounds of fish to smoke.
"Let's start with the electronic file. If your lawyer needs it, just ask them to send someone to my office to pick up the papers." If it weren't for the fact that Bei Hai's car was in front of him, and there was such a thing, Joshua would have overtaken him a long time ago.
Joshua also just got the news, and for Joshua, as long as Bei Hai files a lawsuit against the government agency, the change of direction is to support himself. Take a look at the lawyer Bei Hai asked. Joshua could see at a glance that Bei Hai attached great importance to this lawsuit and his desire to win. When Joshua knew that one of them was racist, he was so happy that he almost missed the steering wheel and broke it!
Joshua doesn't care about whether this racial discrimination is chasing the wind or what, as long as it is beneficial to his own competition, he will use it, and even Joshua and Bei Hai don't care whether they win or lose the lawsuit!
As soon as he heard the news, Joshua put down his mobile phone and saw Bei Hai's car in front of him not long after. After following for four or five minutes, after thinking about it repeatedly, the plan to add some firewood and light a fire jumped out of Joshua's mind, and then there was a matter of stopping Bei Hai's car.
When I came out early in the morning, I met a fan! Bei Hai looked at Joshua's yacht butt and whispered to himself.
At the fork in the road to Matt's house, Bei Hai and Joshua separated, and before they could take a few steps, Bei Hai heard the phone ring on his body.
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Bei Hai cut it off directly, but this call was not dead at all, and after two or three minutes, it called again, of course, it turned out to be cut off by Bei Hai again.
Matt's home is much smaller than Bei Hai's house, of course, the price of the two houses is not the same, such a two-story small wooden building on the side of the road is a little more than 100,000 US dollars, don't look at the upper and lower floors, a total of four or five rooms, according to the domestic calculation of less than 200 square meters.
There is almost no front yard in such a house, and there is a small lawn at the back of the house, where the smoked fish is made today. Naturally, such a small house does not have a garage, not to mention Matt's family, everyone in this area does not have a garage, and everyone's cars are parked on the side of the road.
Stopping the car, Bei Hai opened the small fence door in front of Matt's house and shouted inside: "Matt! ”。
"Hurry up, the door is unlocked!" Soon the voice of old Matt came from the backyard.
Bei Hai directly pushed open the fence door, then the front door and finally the back door. Pushed open the back door and saw Matt and Qi Yiming busy around a small wooden house, it was a bit inappropriate to say that it was a small house, and it was a bit similar to the two large wardrobes back to back.
"This is the smokehouse?" Bei Hai walked to the side, stretched out his head and began to look at the smoke house in front of him. As soon as he heard the word smokehouse, Bei Hai thought that it was a very big thing, no matter how it was said, it should be like an active hardboard house, even if it was smaller than Qi Yiming's current residence, but it couldn't be so small.
I have to say that Bei Hai was a little disappointed in his heart, because the smoke room in front of him was facing the word room, and he could make use of the word cabinet.
Just as Bei Hai wanted to send a few words of emotion or something, the phone in his pocket rang again, and when he found it, he saw that it was the phone number again.
"Who are you looking for?" After connecting the phone, Bei Hai's tone of voice was a little unkind.
"Hello, are you Hull? Mr. Pei? I'm Mayor Hayden's office, I'm Berman," came a magnetic baritone on the other end of the phone, and I have to say that the voice was nice and gentle.
Does Bei Hai know this Berman? Who is Hayden, this is the current mayor of Gloucester!
However, Bei Hai decided to ignore this, because he has now defected to the Democratic Party, there is no need to be polite to a Republican, not to mention the party's party, even if Bei Hai is a civilian, he has more respect for the mayor, capitalism talks about democracy and equality! Even if you eat the grievances of the public, such as the city, the governor and other public figures will laugh and laugh, as for revenge, you are cool for a while, but your political opponent will immediately use this to make you so happy that you get off your current position.
So the mayor? That's what it is! Even a civilian is not too frightened, let alone a small rich man of the Democratic Party who has taken refuge!
"Hello Mayor Berman, I'm Hull," Bei Hai replied lightly.
"We won't go around in circles any longer, Mr. Pei, can we talk about your case against the Gloucester Police Department?" Berman's side made it clear.
When Berman heard the news from the police station in the morning, he yelled at the sheriff who had a gun drawn. Now is the election period, and the people on the stage naturally think that they are all safe and stable, and the people in the audience, such as Joshua, are of course eager to prove the incompetence of the people on the stage.
As the mayor who is now bent on stability, can Berman not be angry!
Gloucester is a small city, said that the police station even the police with the sergeant is five people, the duty is naturally as long as the police should do what they do, but the small city is really good security, the main workload in a year is equivalent to the domestic police, in charge of the community alley or something. Come to think of it, let alone decades, even if you have been doing it for five or six years, and then a police officer who has undergone rigorous training has become a soft pimp. So there isn't much left of the police officer's su zhì here.
Berman called Bei Hai to ask if it was possible to cool down the matter, although he knew that it was unlikely, but if there was hope, he had to try, and the bureaucrats were always very active when they were involved in their official positions, which was the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
