Chapter Twenty-Six: A Strange Setting

"Yay!" There was a burst of cheers in the restaurant, and all the guests rushed to Edward, excitedly thanking him, and some even grabbed Edward's hand and desperately said words of thanks. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Thank you!"

"Thank you so much!"

"You're so powerful, you're not even afraid of those two robbers!"

"Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know how much I would have lost!"

The restaurant owner is the person who is most grateful to Edward among this group, because Edward subdued the two gangsters, which invisibly reduced his losses a lot, and he can also hype up the restaurant after this incident to increase the restaurant's popularity.

Edward was completely stunned by the enthusiasm of the people, and said kind words mechanically, he lived in the Celestial Empire, where he had seen such scenes.

Claire on the side couldn't walk to him because of the crowd, so she could only hold Angela and look at Edward who was surrounded by the crowd from afar, with a look of adoration, the more she got along with Edward, the more Claire could feel his excellence! And little Angela seemed to know that Edward couldn't care about her now, and lay quietly in Claire's arms.

"You don't have to thank me, I just don't like people pointing a gun at my daughter!" Edward's modesty, on the contrary, made the people he rescued more enthusiastic, and he always praised his bravery and his modesty.

Edward managed to get out of the crowd and get to Claire, only to hear Claire's teasing.

"How does it feel to be a hero!"

Edward was stunned for a moment, turned around, saw the undiminished enthusiasm of the people, and subconsciously said, "It's not bad!" ”

The feeling of being embraced by everyone made Edward a little fluttery, but soon Edward's face changed as two policemen burst into the restaurant with guns in their hands.

"The gangsters inside listen..." Soon the two police officers couldn't go on, because everyone was staring at them like fools, and the two masked robbers passed out, and the situation was under control, and they were notified to arrive, less than 5 minutes before and after.

"Ugh! What happened! A black police officer looked at the restaurant owner in astonishment, "Who subdued the gangsters!" ”

The restaurant owner happily pointed at Edward and said, "It was this young man who subdued the gangster!" "The boss didn't see Edward's dark face at all!

After a police officer took out the handcuffs and handcuffed the two gangsters, he confiscated two pistols that looked like scrap metal, came to Edward, and asked happily.

"Good boy, you can subdue two gun-wielding gangsters with your bare hands!"

"You're polite, it's not that I'm good, it's that those two people are too inferior!"

The enthusiastic police officer slowly realized that Edward was wrong, ordinary people did righteous and courageous things, and the police should not be nervous when asked, but now Edward's whole body is stiff, and cold sweat begins to break out on his forehead, which makes the police officer vigilant, and slowly touches his hand to the gun on his waist!

"Hello, I'm a police officer from the 36th Precinct in New York, please take out your ID card or driver's license, and I'm going to report the matter here to the main station for the record!"

"No need!" Edward said weakly: "I still have something to do, so let's go first!" ”

Edward felt that facing the police was more tiring than facing two gangsters, and he didn't dare to look at the police officer because he didn't have an ID card.

"That's not good, there is such a big thing, shooting and robbing, I want to record a confession for you for the record!" The officer had opened the holster at his waist, ready to use his weapon to subdue Edward at any time.

Claire pulled Edward's hand, but found that his palms were now sweaty, and he was very nervous, so she quickly hugged Angela and said to the officer: "Officer, our child was scared by the scene just now, we are going to take the child to the hospital!" ”

The police officer looked at little Angela, but found that Angela was very calm, not crying at all, not the slightest frightening, and Angela looked 100% white, while Claire was a mixed-race black man, and she didn't look like Angela's mother.

"Is this your daughter?" The officer wondered.

"No!" Claire shook her head and said, "This is my boyfriend's child, not my daughter!" Claire also understands that the color of her skin alone cannot be explained, and she can only make up a decent lie.

"The child's mother is gone!"

"Oh!" The officer sighed and said, "This little pitiful! He looked at little Angela with pity, it was a human tragedy for a child to lose his mother at such a young age.

Claire saw the officer's sympathy, and secretly applauded in her heart, and was about to make further efforts when another white police officer came to Edward's side after collecting the robbers!

"Please cooperate and take out your ID card!" Edward's refusal to show out his ID card made both officers suspicious.

Edward wiped the sweat from his forehead, prayed in his heart that Little Skye's hacking skills could pass the test, and said, "I lost my ID card, and I haven't reissued it yet!" ”

"A driver's license is fine!" A U.S. driver's license is the same as an ID card.

"I never learned to drive!" Edward said.

"You can't drive?!" The officer was surprised: "What a rarity! ”

Americans generally learn to drive at the age of 16, and few people don't have a driver's license like Edward! The officers increasingly felt that Edward had a problem.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a driver's license, you report your ID number, and I will report it to the main station for verification!" The officer retreated.

"68・・・・・" After Edward reported the ID number that Skye gave him, he looked at the two police officers nervously, and after the black police officer heard the number of Edward's newspaper, he took out the walkie-talkie and called the main station to check Edward's identity.

Five minutes later, the black police officer came back with a heavy face, looked at Edward and said, "Mr. Edward, I deeply regret what happened to you!" ”

"Huh!" Edward said inexplicably: "What to say! ”

"You are so strong that you are able to take care of your daughter on your own after losing your parents and wife in a traffic accident two months ago! Your daughter is so happy to have you as a father! The black police officer glanced at Claire meaningfully, and then said to Edward: "What I admire even more is that you can get a girlfriend so quickly after your genitals were injured due to an accident!" It's really admirable! ”

Claire blushed when she heard the officer's words, and Edward on the side froze.

"What!" Edward was stunned.

"I've just checked your profile and I'm sorry what happened to you! I have helped you report the loss of your ID card, and after three days, you can go to the 36th precinct to get a new ID card directly with this document! The black police officer handed a note to Edward in the hair, and then beckoned his colleagues to press the robbers to leave the restaurant, as for the confession, there were so many witnesses in the restaurant, it was not a problem at all.

"Bastard Skye, what the hell you're setting for me!" Edward thought hatefully.
