In the afterglow of the setting sun that spills over the bedside.

Dean slowly opened his eyes.

He pushed away the octopus wrapped around his body, stretched his waist, and searched for his clothes among the ground clothes.

"Leave a contact information?"

A hoarse female voice came from the quilt.

The little girl, who didn't look very old, stayed on Dean a little greedily.

Dean glanced at her and smiled softly: "I believe in fate, this is your lost work fee." ”

Leave a stack of banknotes.

He said goodbye to the hotel maid who sent him to the suite early, but gave himself a snack.

Out of the hotel.

Dean drove straight to Chinatown and called the rental agent.

This was something that would have been dealt with yesterday.

As a result, because of the eucalyptus of the cannibal demon, it dragged on to this day.

While tonight's dinner is over, there is still some time.

Dean is ready to do it now.

...

There are a lot of Asian immigrants living here.

In the early years, it was mainly Chinese immigrants from the coast, but as a large number of Chinese moved to areas with better security, this area was gradually occupied by immigrants from some stick countries, Vietnam and other countries.

But in general.

Whether it is food, shops, or supermarkets here, they all have a strong flavor of Chinese architecture.

The house is something Dean has been looking forward to for a long time.

A single-family house on this side of Chinatown, with a small garden, is the food street here, about three kilometers away, and there are several Chinese settlements.

The point is here, it's very close to the precinct.

This is one of the important factors why Dean chose this place.

After today's gathering, the captain of the fourth squadron, Mun, will leave, and the elder Hunter will temporarily take the position of captain, and the two detectives, Dean and Lawrence, will also start to lead the team separately.

In Dean's vision.

He will take the backbone of the current Fourth Squadron and station it on the side of the substation, and leave Lawrence with the newcomers, so that he will not be uncomfortable all of a sudden.

...

The intermediary brother is also Chinese.

This guy is a work-study student.

Normally.

During the period of study, the other party could not engage in real estate agency.

Of course, there are bosses who are willing to take them in, and the salary is given in cash, as long as they are not reported, they are generally fine.

When Dean communicated with him in Chinese, the agent brother was obviously much more enthusiastic, patted his chest and promised that he would let someone from the cleaning company help him completely overhaul and clean the house for free.

Although Dean was not short of this money, he still accepted the kindness of the other party.

...

Sign the contract and pay the money.

Dean put away the keys and called Yin Fu and Munn.

After a brief chat about tonight's situation.

Dean returned to the car, lit a cigarette, and pondered.

Tonight's banquet is a private dinner for Saul Aston, the new powerful man in Los Angeles.

Said before.

Saul Asteron's mother is the daughter of a political party family on Xiaowan Island, Huaguo, and it belongs to the marriage of interests in the early years of Z's rule, which is also a kind of layout.

However, with the strength of China's national strength visible to the naked eye.

The significance of this marriage is becoming less and less.

So Saul Aston, for some reason, directly became a marginal figure in the family, before the fall of the Carmen family, he did not receive much support, and could only use his identity and bloodline to win over the Chinese rich and elite in Los Angeles.

It's not as good as it should be.

Now Saul Aston is on his feet.

But because of what happened before.

As a result, most of the subordinates are Chinese faces.

Old white people like Munn have become rare characters.

This is also the reason why Munn has always recommended Dean and has not refused Yin Fu to join.

Because the three of them, under Saul Asteron, are allies by nature, they can avoid the situation of Munn being alone.

"Saul Aston's mother is a woman cultivated by the Zji family of Little Bend Island, and it is estimated that she has transmitted some Chinese ideas to Saul Aster.

Otherwise, when he is frustrated, Saul Aston may not be patient, while absorbing the Chinese elite, while waiting for the opportunity, until the opportunity arises and seizes it. ”

Analyze the style of doing things from the personality.

Dean spat out a puff of smoke and concluded in his heart that the first thing Saul Aston would do to gain a firm foothold was to use a soft knife to suppress the Chinese community under his command and expand the white community in his hands!

One is for America to be right.

The second is also for balance.

In other words.

Dean, a hybrid with excellent ability, if he takes advantage of the opportunity, will rise to prominence in the police community in Los Angeles in the future.

Don't say anything else.

Become the captain of the 4th squadron for a short time, absolutely no problem!

Dean was a little moved.

Half a thought.

Dean shook his head sensibly.

His age and qualifications are here.

No matter how promoted.

The ceiling is here.

Case.

Then there's no need to show yourself in a sharp way.

Make sure to keep a low profile today.

Dean threw away the cigarette butt and drove to the private club where the banquet was held.

...

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Dean, Munn, and Yin Fu appeared at the door of the club on time.

This was brought up by Munn.

After arriving.

Dean realized that the reason why the other party was like this was to avoid embarrassment.

I saw the inside of the club.

Groups of Chinese men and women gathered together, talking and laughing, and there were hardly any white guests to be seen except for the waiters.

The three of Dean were greeted by Secretary Qiu, whom they had met before.

But he's busy,

After bringing the people in, they hurried to the door to receive the new guests.

Yin Fu sat on the chair in the corner and raised her chin towards Munn: "Wow, Munn, there are many more Chinese billionaires in Los Angeles than I imagined. ”

"But they're not united."

Munn helped his glasses and popularized science for the two of them:

"Look at those five or six people, they're from Modu.

A few over there are people from Guangdong Province, and those over there are people from southern Fujian...

These are first- or second-generation immigrants.

Huddle according to the region.

Besides.

Within their small group, because they came to the United States at different times, they were divided into small circles that crossed vertically and horizontally, and even because of the different learning of their children, there would be small circles in them.

Not to mention, among these people, there are also different situations such as business, law, medicine, and so on. ”

He winked at Dean: "This is also the main reason why Mr. Saul Aston's family will allow him to win over so many Chinese." ”

A mass of scattered sand, nothing to fear.

Yin Fu is not interested in these things.

She got up and grabbed Dean's arm, and said with a smile: "Dean, leave him alone, let's get to know more people, which will be conducive to our development after retirement in the future." ”

Dean shook his head:

"Yin Fu, it's useless.

The only point of contact between us and their circle is Mr. Saul Aston.

Even if their family members commit a crime in the future, they will first choose to seek help and greetings from 'Secretary Qiu', and then Secretary Qiu will come to us for help.

So if you get up now, all you will gain is hypocrisy. ”

"Dean is right, Yin Fu, most of them are businessmen, and they pay in return, and Secretary Qiu is their mouthpiece, you are just the captain of the anti-black division, for them, there is no use value, they will not care about you."

Munn sneered: "Dean will be more popular, these children of rich families, maybe one day they will commit a crime, Dean has Chinese blood, they will trust him more." ”

Yin Fu: "..."

...

The banquet begins.

The whole process was boring.

It's more like a place for exchange of interests and socializing.

If the conversation is good.

There are many private rooms in the club where you can chat privately.

As a matter of fact.

Saul Aston only showed up for a few minutes, said a few words, and then left the scene.

Dean noted.

With Saul Aston leaving.

That Secretary Qiu led people to disappear into the banquet from time to time.

But when people reappear, most of them have a smile on their faces, as if they have received a satisfactory harvest.

"This group of people is starting to reap."

Munn took a sip of champagne and couldn't contain a smile in his eyes.

Because he's one of them.

Not much.

Meng En was also asked away by Secretary Qiu.

Seeing this, Yin Fu sighed: "Dean, I have been dressed up for a long time for tonight's banquet, but I didn't expect it to be so boring, so I sat stupidly all night, and I didn't dare to leave early." ”

It was with the help of Munn that she later joined the Saul Aston group to gain the support to become the captain.

So she came over today, and it was really fine.

Dean glanced at Yin Fu, who was dressed up, and raised his eyebrows: "It's really boring, but I've been in contact with a very interesting eucalyptus recently, why don't we go to the box and talk about it in detail?" ”

Yin Fu glanced at Dean and wanted to be reserved.

As a result, Secretary Qiu, who had just been left, went and returned, walked up to Dean with a smile on his face: "Inspector Dean, Mr. Saul Aston is invited." ”

Munn says Saul Aston values himself.

Dean thought it was a polite remark from Mun.

Ahh

He looked apologetically at Yin Fu, who was already misty in his eyes, and in the other party's complaining gaze, followed Secretary Qiu into the interior of the club.

Secretary Qiu introduced the club to Dean as he walked:

"This used to be a veterans' club, and then it was acquired by our Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Dean, you are also Chinese, here are all your fellow countrymen, if you are bored in the future, you can come here to gather more, there are many things here that you can't see outside. ”

Dean looked at Secretary Qiu, who was smiling in front of him, and for a while, he couldn't guess the real purpose of the other party's words, so he just nodded politely and pretended to be restrained.

All the way forward.

Dean noticed, the terrain was facing down.

This shows that there may be some secret space under the club.

Besides.

As I walked, I reverberated three times.

This shows that outside of normal boxes and buildings, there are also hidden compartments, secret passages, or places for real fun.

Observation room.

Secretary Qiu led Dean to a white door: "It's here." ”
