Chapter 162: Kent's Dilemma

(Thank you for the monthly pass of my friend Chau534 and my friend Caramel Mousse, and two monthly passes for my friend Hu Fear Ho and my friend for a moment's style~~)

The Xie family chose to entertain Mu Qingcheng in Luyangchun, an old Shanghainese restaurant located in Chinatown, which retains the original Ming and Qing Dynasty style, and is also the property of Hongmen Zhigongtang.

When Mu Qingcheng and Kelly were led into the box by the waiter, Yang Lao, Xie Jiasan, Li Yong and Zhang Hongjun were already there, and there were eight traditional cold dishes of the Chinese wine banquet on the table, and two bottles of flying spear in the middle, indicating a very formal meaning.

Li Yong strode forward, shook Mu Qingcheng's hand hard, and said with a smile: "Brother, I have been engaged in criminal investigation in China for so many years, and I have never seen this kind of method, it really works!"

Mu Qingcheng smiled slightly: "That is, the American emperor, this is nothing, it's just adapted to local conditions." ”

Yang Lao said with a smile: "It's a good adaptation to local conditions, come, sit casually, it's all your own people." “

It was said that it was casual to sit, but the seats were already lined up.

Probably most people think that the seat facing the door at the formal banquet is the main seat, and the leader or the respected person should be allowed to sit, but it is not right, the main seat facing the door is not determined by the level of the position or the size of the fame, but who is invited to sit and who sits, so the main seat is Xie Changhai.

On the right side of the main seat, there is the first guest of honor, which is also the seat of Yang Lao, and on the left is the second guest of honor.

After the three protagonists are determined, the remaining people start from the second guest of honor and descend in a clockwise direction until the seat that is close to the first guest of honor is called the last seat.

Since Mu Qingcheng, it is Kelly, Li Yong, Zhang Hongjun, Yang Huizhen and Xie Yilin.

Xie Yilin accompanied the last seat.

Yang Huizhen poured wine for everyone, but she couldn't drink it at this time, according to the regulations, you had to serve hot dishes to drink, and after a while, the three hot dishes came up together, Xie Changhai raised his glass and said: "Today's glass of wine, first of all, I want to respect Mu Qingcheng, and at the same time, I also respect you on behalf of Xiaolin, I can't thank you, please!"

"Please!"

Mu Qingcheng didn't refuse, but Xie Changhai claimed that Lin respected himself, and he was always weird in his heart, Xie Lin could speak, think, do housework, and have a considerable force value, except that his form was different from that of humans, he really couldn't see Xie Lin as dead.

After sighing secretly, Mu Qingcheng raised his glass with both hands and drank it all!

Xie Changhai also drank it dry, poured himself a glass, and saluted Yang Lao.

"These days, our family of three is under the care of the Hongmen Zhigong Court in New York, and we only use this wine to express our gratitude!

"Please!"

After drinking the second cup and pouring another cup, Xie Changhai saluted Kelly: "Sheriff Kelly is fair and righteous, and she has worked tirelessly for Xiao Lin, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Kelly smiled in Chinese, which was not too proficient, and drank it with Xie Changhai.

After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the banquet became relaxed, and everyone ate some dishes casually, Mu Qingcheng asked, "Director Xie, are you ready to return to China?"

"Yes!"

Xie Changhai nodded: "Let's find someone to understand, the judicial process in the United States is very cumbersome, from prosecution to conviction, it may take a year or two, we really can't afford to wait, we can't leave the work at hand, Yilin has to take the exam after New Year's Day, so I plan to send Xiao Lin's bones back to China for burial first, and then ...... Come back when the court is in session. “

Yang Huizhen also smiled: "Xiao Mu, I'm really embarrassed, as relatives, we can't stay and persevere, although Yang Lao helps us keep an eye on it, but I always don't want to go, hey, don't say it, when you go to Luzhou in the future, you must call us, come, auntie respects you!"

"Doctor Xie, you are too polite. ”

Mu Qingcheng toasted accordingly.

In fact, when Xie Changhai said that he was going to return to China, he was not very comfortable, but he understood when he thought about it, Xie Lin's life and death were uncertain before, and the Xie family's heart was always hanging, hoping for a miracle.

This also made Mu Qingcheng completely dispel the idea of arranging for Xie Lin to meet the Xie family, after all, although the eldest daughter of the Xie family is dead, the living still have to continue to live, every Qingming season, going to Xie Lin's grave to have a bouquet of flowers is already benevolent and righteous, and there is no need to disturb other people's lives.

......

At the FBI headquarters in New York, Kent finished his morning's work, dizzy and cloudy.

In the past few days, the more the New York police are in the limelight, the more embarrassed the FBI becomes, especially the contradictions between the FBI and the New York police are well known throughout the United States, and he, as the head of the New York FBI, naturally bears leadership responsibility for the FBI's inaction.

Besides, the photos taken secretly by Radal have not been brought back, and he always has a thorn in his heart!

"MD, why am I so unlucky!"

Kent picked up his cigarette and lit it, but the phone on the table rang.

As soon as I looked at the number, there was an irritation, it was the office phone of FBI Director Christopher, so I hurriedly picked it up.

"Hello, Lord Christopher, I'm Kent!"

On the phone, Christopher's voice without human feelings came: "The New York police are so beautiful, I almost forgot about the existence of the FBI in New York, someone suggested to me that the FBI office in New York be abolished, I want to ask your opinion!"

Suddenly, Kent was like falling into an ice kiln, and his whole body was cold!

Obviously, Christopher can say this kind of thing, he is already very dissatisfied, if the arrest of Gonzalez failed, and he can still be pushed by the plot, then how can Thompson's case be explained?

Such cases have always been presided over by the FBI, but this time, the FBI did not receive the slightest news in advance, and was taken over by the New York police.

Of course, it is impossible for the FBI to evacuate New York, most of it is to take itself down!

Unlike Huaxia, if a person is incompetent in an important position in Huaxia, he will usually be adjusted to the People's Congress, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Party History Office or the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and other Qingshui Yamen for retirement, things will not be done absolutely, leaving you a glimmer of life, but the United States is very cruel, if you want to masquerade to the end, the position and treatment will be cancelled, and there will even be political enemies who fall into the ground!

"Listen to me, Lord Christopher!" said Kent.

Christopher interrupted, "Mr. Kent, I don't need an explanation, I need a solution, do you understand?"

The phone hung up heavily, and Kent collapsed in his seat as if he had lost his soul, and it took a long time before he picked up a cigarette and lit it.

"What should I do? Can I get it back?"

Kent was confused, watching the smoke gradually drift away, for him, being fired is not the most fatal, the key is to lose his job at the FBI, Radal will have no scruples, take out the photo to blackmail himself, this is obviously a bottomless pit.

But if you don't give it, you may force Radal to break the net and publish the photos, causing his wife to file for divorce, according to the American divorce law, most of his property will be divided and become nothing, which is the most fatal problem.

After a few quick puffs, Kent extinguished the cigarette butt and walked out of the office, he felt that he had to go out for a walk, and sitting in the office would not solve the problem.

In the back alley of Wall Street, Kent found a secluded café, ordered a light meal, and ate tastelessly while thinking, when a voice rang in his ears.

"Oh, it's Mr. Kent, hello. ”

Kent looked up and saw that it was Eswal, the executive president of the Mexican Association.

Leaders of community organizations such as Eswal and Yang Lao have always been the focus of the FBI's surveillance, and even if they have not dealt with them, Kent recognizes them at a glance.

"Esvar?"

Kent's eyes narrowed.

"You recognize me, can I sit down?"

Eswal didn't wait for Kent's permission, pulled out a chair and sat opposite, and beckoned to the waiter: "Last simple meal like this gentleman." ”

"Okay, please wait!"

Eswal then looked back and smiled, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Kent smiled coldly: "Esvar, don't play tricks with me, you just came at me, say, what's the matter with me?"

"Haha~~"

was said to be unaware, Eswal was not embarrassed, but laughed: "It's pleasant to talk to frank people, then I'll be blunt, I heard it...... You're not having a good time?"

Kent's heart pounded, and with these words alone, he could tell that Eswar must have come prepared, and his heart couldn't help but be full of vigilance.

After all, a big guy like Eswal found himself for no reason, and it was impossible for him to send warmth, but he was more likely to fall into the ground.

But on the surface, Kent said quietly: "Who did you listen to?"

Eswal smiled but didn't answer, because the waiter brought a light meal.

"Sir, you use it slowly!"

After the waiter retreated, Eswal took a few bites before saying, "The fact is obvious, the New York police have been in the limelight during this time, and Director Christopher must be very dissatisfied, oh, by the way, it seems that Christopher just called you before you came down?"

"Are you spying on me? Do you know what the consequences of spying on the FBI will be?"

Kent was furious!

Think about it, it has always been the FBI spying on others, but now it is being spied on by a community, this is an eighty-year-old woman who has collapsed into a child!

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, how dare I listen to you?" Esvar quickly explained.

Kent's eyes flashed with suspicion, and when he calmed down, he also thought that Eswal was not so bold as to do so, and after thinking about it, he quickly guessed the reason.

It is likely that a few Mexican chicks from the data center leaked the identity of the caller to Eswal, and with Eswal's shrewdness, it is impossible not to guess Christopher's intentions.

'MD, it's all damn anti-racism laws!'

U.S. law requires both private and government companies to hire a certain ethnic group, even the FBI, and have to hire some blacks and Mexicans.

Esvar spread his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that you understand, so let's say, maybe you will be dismissed soon, but as your friend, I am happy to share your worries, and only I can solve your troubles." ”
