Chapter Eighty-Six: John Hurts
Liszt had been secretly following Huang Chamberlain to make sure that he had arrived safely at the hotel where he was staying, and that there was no tail behind him, so he found an unmonitored hiding place on the street corner, took off his mask, changed his clothes and left.
Seriously, after taking off the mask, with gray and black clothes, he would be completely invisible if he didn't show his teeth.
It seems that this racial talent cannot be lost in the future, it is too convenient to hide his whereabouts at night.
Liszt walked in the middle of nowhere, avoiding the lights as much as possible, and after walking a few streets, changing three skins and three sets of clothes, he finally arrived at Tom's house, and he returned to his original appearance.
The next day, Liszt received a call from Chamberlain that he had bought a ticket to Los Angeles and would help testify if someone contacted him.
Fortunately, he applied for a visa to Los Angeles in China, and at that time he was talking about going to Hollywood to be an actor, and he finally passed it because of his singer experience.
It's just that instead of going to Los Angeles, I came to San Francisco, and now I'm being commissioned to return to my original destination, Los Angeles, to find a suitable actor.
Fortunately, it's all on the West Coast, and it doesn't leave California, so I didn't run into trouble...... There was also trouble, and his pig-headed face did not go down much after a night of recuperation.
If he didn't want to get away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible to avoid the limelight and earn a commission by the way, why would he wait for the injury to recover before flying to Los Angeles.
There shouldn't be any big problem on Huang Chamberlain's side, he was beaten by several gangsters in San Francisco, or Asians beat Asians, and the victim has no intention of calling the police or prosecuting, so naturally there is no idle DT to help a non-American citizen at the risk of offending the gangster.
Liszt is more concerned that Tom seems to be a little wrong, it stands to reason that there is an accident in the Japanese bar, so many people's bodies should have been found, not to mention anything else, the two security guards at the door, although he was killed and dragged to the next room, but it is a bit abnormal to say that no one found out and no one called the police all night.
It's almost nine o'clock, Tom is still sleeping, and he doesn't mean to get up to work, it stands to reason that their Asian crime team should be very busy during this time, otherwise they won't always work overtime, and they still work late at night in the United States, except for the entertainment venue staff are these special practitioners (police, agents, criminals).
Criminals are criminals, making money and spending, and the police, who are like Tom, are working overtime, regardless of the nature of the work, which is called overtime, and there is overtime pay.
Liszt had already returned last night, and Tom had not yet returned, and it was not until three or four o'clock in the morning that Liszt heard the sound of Tom opening the door when he returned.
Liszt, who knows Tom's character, doesn't think that Tom is going out for fun this night, he is not that kind of person.
It was almost noon, and Diane was busy preparing lunch, although her cooking skills were not as good as someone's, but did she really want Liszt to take over the kitchen of this house completely?
No, Diane won't agree, the kitchen is her territory, and no matter whether the food she cooks is good or not, Tom and Rhona can only accept it, and there is no doubt that they will not refute it.
And don't want Liszt to cook, because it is very unpleasant to do that, although Tom said that he had adopted Liszt, but Liszt's age at that time was already a very embarrassing thing, and they had been separated for two years, so although it didn't sound good, in fact, Liszt was a guest in this house and was an outsider.
At least emotionally.
So Liszt is going to leave this house after all, whether he returns to Fox or stays in San Francisco or goes somewhere else, he will not continue to be here, so the problem arises.
If she is lazy during this time, then after Liszt goes out to live, will her cooking skills still be accepted by the stomach of the father and daughter who have inherited their racial talent?
"Diane, what's wrong with Tom, is he on vacation today?" Liszt played with Rhona for a while, then went to the kitchen while Rhona was playing with Barbie, took an apple and took a bite, and then asked nonchalantly.
"How is it possible, you just had a vacation last time, you forgot, just two days ago, the apples were washed and eaten again, and Rona loved cleaner than you." Diane saw that Liszt just casually wiped the apple and put the apple in his mouth, and gave someone a blaming look.
"Then how can Tom still ...... I mean, he's a workaholic. Liszt didn't mind Diane's blame at all, because he knew it was done without malice, out of concern.
Diane stopped chopping vegetables: "I don't know, he came back late last night, and it's weird, I asked him what happened and he didn't say, he called him up in the morning and said he was going to rest for two days but not a vacation." ”
Liszt thought it was strange that the FBI had no work to do?
"What do you think happened, Diane?"
"I don't know, but I'm worried that it could be another situation like a temporary suspension from the Home Office investigation." Diane said this with both worry and indifference, a sign that she was familiar with the situation but would still be worried.
"Oh my God, he must have been in a dangerous situation last night." Liszt muttered.
"I'm worried about this, his job is too dangerous, I want him to change jobs, but he just doesn't want to." Diane was visibly angry when she said this, and it seemed that the two had had an unpleasant quarrel over the matter.
Liszt can't comment on this, although the name of the federal police is loud, the power is very great, and they can control the sky and the air, as long as it is in the United States, they can manage it, but that refers to the entire FBI.
As for Tom, he is just an old agent from the San Francisco branch.
The salary level in the United States is medium, enough to support a family, and there is nothing unsatisfying if it is an ordinary job, but when all this needs to be exchanged for life, it is not a good choice for ordinary federal agents or their families.
They don't know what Tom has been through, everything is just speculation, but Diane has been in such a situation before, so she is worried.
Whether it's Diane or Liszt, when they think about the Home Office investigation, they only think that Tom shot again last night, and someone was injured or killed, and they don't think about who Tom took money or something, which is their trust in Tom's personality and his work ethic.
"Don't guess Liszt, lunch is almost ready, you go and help me get Tom up, he will tell us if he wants, so promise me not to mention this later, okay?"
Liszt naturally nodded in agreement, no matter who he wanted, the involvement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not good news for front-line operatives, and he would probably stay away from most of the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when he became a police officer in the future.
"God, John is hurt?" At the dinner table, although there was some speculation, Diane still screamed when she heard that it was her husband's good partner and good friend John who was injured.
Rona had finished eating, and was taken by Liszt to play in the back room, and the children were tired after eating, so don't think they would take a nap, even though they were always not tired of playing.
In the dining room, Dale's exclamation caught the attention of little Rona, and Liszt rubbed her little head: "It's okay, mom is practicing children's drama with dad." ”
"Powerpuff Girls are out!"
Little Rhona's eyes flashed brightly, and Liszt looked at the excited Rhona and unconsciously began to make up for Diane, Tom and Rhona's family of three dressed up in pink, green, and blue to maintain world peace.
The picture is too beautiful to imagine, but Rhona's eyes make Liszt unable to say "not this", so he can only pray silently for Tom and Diane in his heart, and at the same time make up his mind that he can't stay in this house tonight or even tomorrow, well... A school visit and a job search might be a good excuse.
Seeing that Rhona's attention was on the Barbie doll on the ground again, Liszt breathed a sigh of relief and eavesdropped on the conversation between Tom and his wife.
"Gunshot wound, need to recuperate, let's go to the hospital together in the afternoon to see him, buy something over, you know I'm not good at these."
Tom didn't elaborate on the details of John's injury, not even last night's action, only about John's injury and hospitalization, and Diane didn't ask.
Curiosity is naturally curious, this is human nature, and she is naturally interested in her husband's work, but she is also aware of the peculiarities of her husband's work, so she can not talk about work at home.
The same rule was made in John's house, and the two great men had no objection to this.
In the afternoon, Tom and Diane drove to the hospital, and Liszt was left to see Lorna, which Liszt wanted to object, but unfortunately although he was an adult, it didn't seem to have much influence on the way he got along with Tom, he was still the obedient one.
It was not clear what happened to Tom and John's meeting, but he did not expect John to be injured, and he did not have any information about the FBI's operation last night, which was very detrimental to his activities in San Francisco.
But buttoning with a monitor on a suit no longer worked, not the last one was discovered, but Liszt's reluctance to take the risk.
Tom is the FBI, and listening and monitoring is one of their housekeeping skills, and once they may be careless and didn't find anyone who can do anything on their clothes, but you can't think that everything is based on the carelessness of the "opponent", right?
It is better to stand up and "blow yourself up" as soon as possible.
At a bar on the Yanagawa Group's turf, Tom was late, and he was visiting John in the San Francisco hospital ward with Diane, but his boss called him on the phone.
He didn't expect that when they were fighting the rangers last night, a massacre was being staged in the territory of the Yanagawa Group.
"What's going on now?" Tom finds the person in charge of the site.
"There were eleven dead in all, nine in the basement, two in this room at the door, all of them died under cold weapons, and interestingly, some of the dead still had guns in their hands. Smoke tests also showed that the deceased had fired a gun before his death, and the surrounding bullet holes and the bullet casings that fell to the ground basically matched the guns that appeared at the scene. ”
"Wait, are you sure you're not mistaken? You have to know what your words just now, a man with a knife killed eleven strong gang members armed with pistols and submachine guns, what is that?"
