Chapter 152: Things Got Big
(Thank you friend qxy99 for the monthly pass~~)
Reno is a border city between Nevada and California, with a population of more than 100,000, and is known as the divorce capital of the world.
Before the 50s of the last century, divorce was restricted in the United States and was regarded as dishonorable, so Reno seized the opportunity to launch a no-liability divorce, divorce without reason, as long as you live enough for a specified time, pay a certain fee to divorce, this move attracted thousands of Americans to flock here for a smooth divorce, and the people of Reno also made a fortune through the divorce economy.
At its peak, the divorce industry contributed more than half of Nevada's fiscal revenue, but in the 60s, the U.S. states relaxed restrictions on divorce, and Reno's divorce economy declined overnight.
Hence the rise of Las Vegas.
"It's our people ahead, stop and rest for a while!"
Out of California, it was Reno, and Kelly saw three police cars near the roadside gas station and said to Mu Qingcheng.
"Okay!"
Mu Qingcheng slowly leaned over the car, Thompson was detained in the police car behind, and several people got out of the car one after another to breathe.
"Congratulations, Boss...... No, congratulations on our success!" said the long-awaited Benjamin with an exaggerated laugh.
Kelly waved her hand and said: "Don't be too happy too early, this is just the beginning, the Berkeley police will definitely not stop, everyone don't be idle, you, you, drive the car to the gas station to fill up the gas, you bring some food and water over here, you two take Thompson to the convenience!"
Kelly dispatched very neatly, Thompson also looked like he was resigned to his fate, was taken into the toilet to pee, half an hour later, the convoy set off, headed north, entered the Oregon border at noon the next day, and late at night, entered Ioda.
The road went so smoothly that it seemed that the Berkeley police had given up on the chase.
Through the car phone, Sullivan said: "Boss, maybe the Berkeley police didn't take this seriously, we scared ourselves, why don't we rest on the side of the road and leave after dawn." ”
"This ......," Kelly looked at Mu Qingcheng hesitantly.
After all, she and Mu Qingcheng have kung fu, and it doesn't matter if they don't rest for a long time, but the police can't, and all the policemen are overweight, and their physical fitness is actually inferior to normal people, except for a handful of brute strength.
Mu Qingcheng's eyes narrowed.
"What's wrong?" Kelly asked.
"It's okay, rest when you rest. Mu Qingcheng waved his hand.
Kelly always felt that this guy had something to say, but she didn't rush to ask, and gave the order to rest.
The police car stopped on the side of the road, although it was pitch black, but the red and blue lights on the roof flashed and flashed, and they were not afraid of being hit by blindfolded heads, and the police got out of the car one after another to smoke, and returned to the car after a while, it was still quite cold outside.
Kelly then asked, "Do you have an idea?"
Mu Qingcheng nodded: "I was thinking, it would be good to be able to return to New York smoothly, but if there are more twists and turns, will there be better results?"
Kelly said impatiently, "What the hell are you going to say?"
Mu Qingcheng smiled at Johnson in the driver's seat in front of him: "Do you want to be a star?"
"Do you need to ask?" Johnson did not hesitate, but then showed a bitter look: "Look at me like this, I weigh almost 300 pounds, what kind of star can I be? I'm afraid no one will want me to play tricks!"
Mu Qingcheng continued to smile: "It's okay to publish a book, I heard that it makes a lot of money to publish a book in the United States." “
Kelly listened to it and poked it with an elbow: "I understand what you mean, that is, to make things bigger, and make it known to the whole country, so that you will be famous, and naturally there will be booksellers who will come to find books, and the bigger the trouble, the better the sales of books, and it is of course a good thing to make money, so what are you going to do?"
Mu Qingcheng smiled mysteriously: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, I need to adjust it according to the actual situation, but I have a request, everyone must obey my instructions, and when it is necessary to make sacrifices, someone must also make sacrifices, so as to ensure that we can escape back to New York in full view, and at the same time, I also have to make a rule, and the money earned will be divided equally among all the police officers in the police station." “
"No problem!" Johnson whistled happily: "Who would have trouble with money!"
Kelly said, "What if the Berkeley police don't chase after them?"
Mu Qingcheng spread his hands: "Count them unlucky!"
Johnson crossed and prayed, "Oh God, you must not be so cruel, but the Berkeley police will chase you......"
After a long while, Johnson pushed open the door and said, "Boss, I'll go sleep in another car, and by the way, I'll tell them the good news, and I'll come back to drive when it's dawn." “
"So anxious?" Kelly wondered.
Johnson turned his head and said seriously: "Boss, everyone can see that you two are a good match, I don't want to stay as a light bulb, in fact, on the way here, you and Mu Qingcheng should live in one room, but they live in two rooms separately, if you are worried about our jokes, this is completely unnecessary, to be honest, boss, although Mu Qingcheng is Chinese, but the vast majority of Americans are not as good as him, you should have a happy result." “
After saying that, get out of the car and leave.
This was completely unexpected by Kelly, for a while, she was at a loss with a red face, and only after a while did she look up at Mu Qingcheng, and when she saw this guy looking at herself with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he suddenly became angry and said: "Are you very proud, then if I like you, will you like me?"
As soon as these words came out, Kelly regretted it, and then snorted coldly: "Mu Qingcheng, don't feel too good about yourself, for American women, being in bed is nothing at all, not to mention that we haven't done anything, I like men with chest hair, I won't think about you until you grow chest hair, go over there, now I'm going to sleep!"
Kelly's strength was very strong, pushed Mu Qingcheng to the door, and then fell down without seeing it, pillowed his head on his lap, closed his eyes tightly, and didn't move!
Mu Qingcheng lowered his head and looked at Kelly, and suddenly he found that he was a little self-deceiving, Kelly obviously revealed his true feelings, in fact, Kelly has a very heavy weight in his heart, and he is affected by the Heavenly Demon Strategy, and he doesn't care too much about the rules of secular etiquette, what I like is mine.
But the reality is, how do you get Karina and Kelly to coexist peacefully, and even Helen?
He believed that as long as he revealed a little bit of this meaning to Karina, Karina would immediately turn her face, after all, American women are very independent, and it is almost impossible to share their husbands with others, let alone Karina, who was born in Puritan.
Alas!
The road is long, I will go up and down and seek!
Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but put his hand on Kelly's face and plucked it gently.
Kelly suddenly shook slightly, and her heart pounded.
'Do you really want to grab a boyfriend with Karina?'
Thinking of Karina, Kelly panicked in her heart, her enthusiasm faded like a tide, and after sighing secretly, her mood gradually calmed down.
......
Early the next morning, the first day after Christmas, the policemen's eyes were a little strange, and Kelly immediately said with a straight face: "How did everyone discuss Mu Qingcheng's suggestion yesterday?"
Sullivan smiled and said, "Boss, no problem, we are willing to follow Mu Qingcheng's instructions!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Kelly waved her hand.
The cops didn't dare to say more, so they got into their cars one after another, and the convoy continued to move forward, along the highway of the western United States towards Wyoming, but not so much, everyone was nervous and excited.
Kingston has just come to the office, and this Christmas is a pity for him, because Kelly didn't spend the holiday at home under the pretext of handling the case, and because of her relationship with Mu Qingcheng, Kelly is obviously estranged from herself, but the most important thing at the moment is to elect a U.S. Senate for the New York State Assembly next year.
Kingston and the current mayor of New York, Blasio, belong to the same Democratic camp, and if he runs for mayor of New York, he must first defeat de Blasio in the party election.
Kingston and Blasio are both very strong, and if the two fight to the death, it is easy for the Republican Party to take advantage of it, and Blasio has already been in office for one term, and he has an advantage over the Republican Party in re-election.
As a result, many veterans in the Democratic Party, such as Hillary Clinton and Clinton, persuaded them to dispel Kingston's desire to run for mayor of New York, and de Blasio also made a compromise with Kingston, promising that if he ran for mayor of New York, he would fully support Kingston's candidacy for the US Senate in the New York State Assembly.
Unlike the House of Representatives, whose term of office is only two years and represents the interests of the electorate, the US Senator serves a six-year term and represents the interests of the state, can effectively constrain the White House, has a lot of power, and almost every person who is brought out is a well-known figure, and each state, no matter how big or small, only has two.
Next year will be a round of election for a Senate seat in New York State, and if elected, the benefits will be no worse than being mayoral, and after much deliberation, Kingston readily agreed, and after Blasio's successful re-election last month, he began to prepare for the Senate race.
"Jingle bell!"
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.
Unlike private households, where corded telephones have been virtually eliminated, corded telephones are still widely used in administrative agencies because they use fiber optic point-to-point communication and are far more secure than cell phones.
Kingston picked up the phone.
"Hey, who's that?"
"Your Excellency Kingston, I'm New York City Police Commissioner O'Neal, and I have something to tell you, just now the San Francisco Police Department called me, and your daughter Kelly led someone to break into Berkeley City on Christmas Eve and arrested Thompson, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and a researcher at the National Laboratory, on charges of planning and participating in a systematic disappearance of women in New York twelve years ago......"
Kingston's face grew darker and darker, and he listened silently.
"Now the San Francisco Police Department has negotiated with me, although the New York Police and the San Francisco Police are not necessarily connected, but we both belong to the American police system, and Kelly is your daughter, frankly, I am very embarrassed, so I will communicate with you first and try to come up with a proper solution. “
Kingston took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for telling me, I don't know at all, so does the city police department know about this?"
"I don't know!"
"Okay, I'll find out about the situation first, and I'll call you later, goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Kingston's anger erupted and he slammed his fist on the table!
