Chapter 91: Misunderstanding
"Tom, are there really mutants in the world?"
"That's what you're talking about when you don't sleep at night and drag me from the bedroom to the study?" Tom seemed unhappy, not knowing if he was unhappy that Liszt had hit him and Diane or if it was because of Liszt's problems that made him unhappy.
"Bella told me that there was a social science subject in school, but it was all about the dangers of mutants, and she didn't like that, so she wanted me to go with her to Nevada, where there was a town where there was said to have giant human-eating insects, and she wanted to study that."
Liszt didn't hide it, there's nothing to hide, no matter how much you publicize the dangers of mutants, you can't make ordinary people have to accept this concept, the president can scold it, and he hasn't broken the law.
Tom was silent for a long time, as if he was pondering whether to tell Liszt the secret.
"It's no secret, mutant-related courses have been held in Atlanta for a long time, but other states have different laws on mutants, maybe the Washington State Assembly passed a proposal from a certain councilor, just like California, and Rona will have to learn this after school."
"That's too bad, can't you just not learn, why isn't there a lesson in the course about the dangers of arms dealers to the country? The Florida News often reports on school shootings, and the Department of Education can't see it?"
Tom shook his head and smiled bitterly, what is there to say about this kind of thing, it is impossible to ban guns in this country: "This kind of thing is not something you should consider, your police officer application has not passed high school graduation and went to the police academy for training, I will help you arrange it." Listen to Liszt, the situation of mutants is the same as that of the Chinese who came to the United States to pan for gold, you only need to think clearly about why the status of Chinese Americans in the United States began to rise, but there are still Asians who are discriminated against. ”
"Well, I guess mutants lack a mutant country to enter the WTO, and there are not enough mutants to sit in the seat of parliamentarian, thank you Tom, I wouldn't have figured it out so quickly without your reminder."
Tom smiled wryly, this bear boy, does he mean that? Well, Liszt's summary does make sense, mutants are at the bottom of society in the United States, and there is no strong country to back, and it is inevitable that they will be excluded from the world of ordinary people as an outlier.
"Aren't you going to sleep now?"
"I wonder if there's no place in the United States that accepts mutants?"
"Maybe yes or maybe not, I don't know, why are you so interested in mutants, you won't tell me you're a mutant, will you?" Tom's tone became serious, which seemed like an important matter.
Liszt shrugged: "I hid it so well and was discovered by you, worthy of the FBI, you see if I am particularly handsome and strong, my superpower can make me the most popular man for women, which makes me very distressed." ”
Tom couldn't help but laugh, how could this stinky boy feel more shameless, but this way is better, shameless people can live more safely.
"If you want to be a policeman and go to another city, you can only be a patrol officer first, and sooner or later you will be discovered by the people of Liuchuan."
"Then you have to let me be this patrolman, you can let people protect me secretly, as long as the people of the Liuchuan Group dare to touch me, you can use this as a breakthrough to completely take the Liuchuan Group away." Liszt was full of nonsense.
"Nonsense, you really think that catching a killer can condemn Shiro Yanagawa to death. As long as he has money and is willing to pay, and some people carry the sin for him, I didn't want to say that, it's too negative. ”
"One thing you don't say, as long as you catch the evidence of Shiro Yanagawa directly committing a crime, it's useless to have money."
"How about that, after a few years in prison, it comes out again, and the rich people in prison are just changing to a smaller closed villa, and there are prison guards with loaded guns and the right to shoot as bodyguards."
"It's not like yours can say it."
"I just don't want you to act impulsively, young people don't know what is good or bad, don't believe in the law too much, you see I'm a federal agent who is full of doubts about the law, but this is my job, as long as it's within the scope of my work, I'll do it, beyond this scope, it's dangerous."
"I know, tomorrow for the Spring Festival, waiting for me to show you a hand."
Liszt smiled and went back to the room, Tom made it very clear, just like he said that Tom was a federal agent, and Tom's position should not say anything against the system, but this does not mean that Tom is not aware of the drawbacks.
This is to warn Liszt that no matter how sympathetic he is to mutants, he must choose to shut up, there are many smart people, and smart people who know how to compromise can live longer.
Liszt was fortunate that Tom must have known something inside, but he would never reveal it to him.
Liszt didn't have the idea of asking for a name for mutants, that would be stupid, he didn't even have a mutant friend right now.
But Bella, Liszt is a little scared, maybe the people of Nightkin probably know more about mutants than Tom.
Bella had used her abilities in New York, and she couldn't save anyone else with a pistol alone.
Bella would call him specifically because of this, and probably for this reason, it is really cruel and nonsense to let a suspected mutant learn that mutants harm such a "social science".
Bella must have been angry and scared at the time, right?
The Spring Festival is a festival for the Chinese, no matter where in the world, as long as you remember that your body flows with the blood of the Han family, you will not forget this grandest festival, which is engraved in your bones.
Chinese New Year's Eve is also indispensable, after lunch Tom and John, two old men at home, sit under the balcony umbrella, comfortable lounge chairs are not strong sunlight, if it is now on the beach by the sea, it is even more wonderful.
Liszt also wanted to be lazy, but Diane caught him as a strong man, and in the afternoon he had to make dumplings and prepare hot pot seasonings, Diane couldn't be busy alone, although Jenny was also a housewife, but let her cook Chinese food, just distinguishing the cooking method of Chinese food was enough for her to have a big head.
So Jenny became the king of the children in the house, playing in the living room with two little children, and then when Liszt tossed the dough like a showman, one big, two small and three heads would burrow into the kitchen and stare at the strange.
The dough in Liszt's hand became a magic trick in their eyes, and Diane's concocted filling made their saliva unconsciously drool.
Chinese cuisine, this is the greatest invention of the Chinese for thousands of years, this is Liszt's consciousness as a foodie of the Great Celestial Empire.
"Tom, listen to me, don't be in San Francisco during this time, you should take Diane and Rhona on a tour." John drank his drink, and he wanted to go on such a day without a cold wind.
"What are you worried about, John? I'm sure I hit the guy in the face, he's not going to survive. Tom was angry at John's self-scaring behavior, no matter how divine that Rogge was rumored, as long as he was human, a bullet would kill him.
"I don't know, I always feel wrong, maybe you killed him by what you said, but what if he didn't die, that guy is like a ghost, you don't know when or where he will appear, you know we didn't find his body." The more John spoke, the more agitated he became, and he even yelled at the end, and then turned his head in a panic, as if to see if his gaffe had frightened the women and children in the room.
Tom didn't mean to laugh at John, he knew that this was not something that could be summed up by a coward, and he actually had doubts in his heart, but he didn't have any fear of Rogge, Rogge's identity as an agent and killer didn't scare him at all, and he was the one with a gun in the United States.
"Don't be like thatJohn, you're just a little nervous, you're scared by the name of the CIA, and you don't forget that we're the FBI, and this is San Francisco."
"You're right, this is San Francisco, I'm too sensitive, but I still want you to be cautious."
John's suggestion was useless, Tom did not mean to avoid the limelight at all, in his opinion, Roger did not have the ability to continue to do evil even if he did not die, so Tom did not plan to travel with Diane at all, after Chinese New Year's Eve, as soon as the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs ended, Tom quickly returned to his previous job, as for Roger, because he could not find the corpse, he could not become one of his "military merit medals".
But an unexpected event forced Tom to leave San Francisco.
"What happened to Tom and why did he suddenly pack his bags?" Diane was very unaccustomed to her husband suddenly returning home during work hours, and when she saw Tom packing his belongings, her face turned even more frightened, and she thought that her husband had committed something serious.
Tom comforted Diane while quickly packing his luggage: "Don't worry Diane, I'm not trying to escape, I'm not chasing me, I'm not being framed, I just have an urgent mission to go to Los Angeles." ”
"What mission is so urgent, you are a federal agent in San Francisco, why did you go to Los Angeles?" Diane does not give up, and her husband's career is always worrying.
"Hey, Diane you know I can't say it, anyway trust me, okay, I love you guys." As she spoke, Tom kissed Diane anxiously on the forehead.
It can be seen that Tom's usual reputation is not bad, at least after he said this, Diane calmed down, and he would definitely be worried, but as a wife, he had no other choice but to support.
"Don't worry about Diane, I'll go with Tom this time, I'll take care of him." Liszt listened to their conversation in the room, and Liszt, who didn't know what was going on, decided to follow Tom to Los Angeles.
Of course, the reason is not to take care of Tom, the nature of Tom's work is destined to make his business trip not ordinary, and Liszt even speculated that Tom's trip to Los Angeles must have something to do with the gangsters, because Tom does this job.
"You can't go, I don't need you to take care of it, our actions have to be kept secret."
"I don't want to be involved in your actions, but I'm still going to Los Angeles, I'm going to see if my money has been spent, you can't control it, I'm 18 years old, I can go to any city in the United States."
"How can your money be spent by others, LOOK, you are still young, don't spend your money on chasing stars, Bella's child is good, don't let people down."
