Chapter 14 Life is always so hard

"Great, you also own this restaurant."

Zhang sir naturally will not discourage the other party's enthusiasm.

For criminals to be able to get on the right path, this is also the thing that many law enforcement officers are most proud of.

"Yes, after coming to America, I decided to leave my old life behind, and then I bought this restaurant by chance, but unfortunately, it won't be open for long."

When Ah Jian talked about his life, he couldn't help but have a confident look on his face, but unfortunately this look didn't last long before it turned into a sigh.

"Because of those gangsters?"

Zhang Pin looked at the other party with some surprise.

With Xiao Zhuang's original skills, it would not be too easy to kill those people.

"I also went out into the sun by myself and found out that life is not just about fighting and killing, there are people behind these little gangsters, as long as your store wants to open, this money must be paid."

Ah Jian obviously understood the meaning in Zhang Pin's eyes.

Although he yearns for a bright life, he is not a pedantic person.

As early as the first time the thugs came to the door, he did this.

Unfortunately, he destroyed several of the American gangs with thunderous means.

But the ecological niche is here, and after the previous gangs were destroyed, new gangs soon took over.

Then they continue to come and collect protection money.

Unless Xiaozhuang reveals his identity openly, otherwise, no matter how the gang changes, they will come to collect protection money.

On the contrary, it is Xiao Zhuang himself, because he uses his hands too often, has actually been noticed by some people.

He used to be just a killer and didn't know how to deal with people who collected protection money.

If it weren't for Zhang Pin's appearance today, Xiao Zhuang would have been ready to hack a few gangsters to death on the spot, and then go and kill the bosses of these gangs himself.

"Since the hotel can't be opened, why don't you come and help me do something, and I'll pay you a salary."

Zhang Pin didn't expect that he would meet Xiaozhuang in America so coincidentally.

The two are also acquaintances, and he also recognizes Xiaozhuang's ability.

So after thinking about it, he decided to find himself a helper.

"Sir Zhang, you came to Amerika, are you going to handle any case?"

When Xiaozhuang heard Zhang Pin's invitation, he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Zhang Pin has a basic understanding of Xiao Zhuang, but Xiao Zhuang actually doesn't know Zhang Pin very well.

Obviously, one of the two is a killer and the other is a policeman, but now it depends on what Zhang Pin means, and he has to help do things himself.

Xiao Zhuang didn't know what he could do to help the other party.

"This is my current status, if you help me with this, I can guarantee that no one will dare to come to your restaurant to collect protection money in the future."

Zhang Pin looked around, and when he was sure that there was no third person, he directly took out the identity certificate of the consultant given to him by the Investigation Bureau.

Xiao Zhuang was stunned when he saw what Zhang Pin put out and heard his words again.

"How?"

Zhang Pin didn't give Xiaozhuang much time to think.

In fact, this case does not have a big impact on Xiaozhuang, but now it happens to happen.

And if you don't help each other, Xiaozhuang, who yearns for the sunshine, can't say that he will have to go down the old road again.

It was also he who offered to let the other party do him a favor.

"Thank you, sir."

Xiao Zhuang obviously also knew that since Zhang Pin could have a relationship with the Investigation Bureau, he would definitely not be able to help too much.

But he really didn't know how to deal with some gangsters, and he was reluctant to use this restaurant now.

"Very good, but the title needs to be changed, you can call me boss or boss, my current identity is not a police officer, but an Asian who has just walked the line to America."

When Zhang Pin heard Xiaozhuang's agreement, he was naturally not surprised.

Then he told the other party something.

"By the way, it's imperative that you find me a place to live first."

Zhang Pin wanted to infiltrate the Dominica gang and find out if they had stolen the bronze head, so naturally he couldn't go back to the consulate to live.

Originally, he was going to find a hotel to sleep in without identification, but now that he has met Xiaozhuang, he simply let the other party find a way.

"I've rented an apartment not far away, if you don't mind, go to me."

Xiao Zhuang didn't care much about Zhang Pin's need to arrange his own residence.

"You wait for me, I'll deal with the affairs of the hotel first, and it will be closed for the next few days."

Finally, he hurriedly dealt with the affairs of the hotel.

Ah Jian gathered a few hotel staff, and then took out the turnover of the past few days, and after giving all the money to a few people, he asked them to rest for a while, or go to find other jobs.

"You're kind."

Seeing that Ah Jian gave all the money to the others, Zhang Pin glanced at him.

"It's not easy for everyone, if you can help, you can help."

Ah Kin is obviously not a person who takes money very seriously.

"The apartment I live in is not too high-grade, but there is nothing wrong with safety."

Walking on the road, Xiaozhuang was also worried that Zhang Pin would not be used to living in the apartment he rented.

"It's okay, I can live anywhere."

Zhang Sir doesn't care much about where he lives.

Upon entering the villa, there is a circular old-fashioned staircase.

The two of them went up, walking and walking, and they stood almost at the same time, because a little girl sat on the fence a little above them.

"Hey!"

The little girl took the initiative to say hello to Xiaozhuang.

"Matilda. Are you smoking again? ”

Xiao Zhuang frowned, and then asked the girl a word.

"This is also a resident of the apartment, with an unreliable father."

The next sentence is explained to Zhang Pin.

What he didn't say was that because he opened his own restaurant and saw that the little girl Matilda was often abused by her father, he would occasionally bring some food to the other party.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the two is not bad.

"Is this your friend? It's the first time I've seen you bring a friend back. ”

The little girl Matilda looks quite talkative.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Xiao Zhuang did not answer Matilda's question, but noticed the wound on the other party's forehead.

I accidentally fell."

Matilda was silent for a moment before answering the question.

Xiao Zhuang frowned, he was not stupid, he could naturally see that this position was not a fall at all, but it was very similar to being beaten.

Click-

At that moment, the door of the upper floor was opened, and there was a commotion from inside.

"Why are you doing this!"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"There's been a lot of going on in the past few days, and the people in the Bureau of Investigation don't know what they're looking at all day, so we have to get rid of things as soon as possible.

But now here's the problem, when we gave you the goods a month ago, the purity of these goods was still 100%.

Now, when we are ready to take the goods away, they have turned into a batch of goods with a purity of 90 percent.

During this period, 10 percent of the goods were stolen. ”

A guy in a black leather jacket was reasoning with a stocky bearded man.

"I don't know, it's none of my business, I'm just a client, you give me things, and I'll be responsible for keeping them.

I didn't even touch your chest, not to mention that I didn't even know how to dilute it.

Maybe it's the kid you left here to look after things.

No wonder he was mysterious a few days ago, and then suddenly left quietly. ”

The short and fat bearded man was also aggrieved at this time.

"Hey, listen, I'm trying to help you now, but if you insist on telling the truth, then I'll have to trouble him."

The man in the leather jacket spread his hands out, then pointed to a figure on the edge of the hallway.

The guy had a grease of hair and headphones, and seemed to listen to the song very attentively, deaf to the argument here.

"He's able to sniff out if a person is lying just by his sense of taste, which is a terrifying ability, just like the legendary sixth sense."

"What's more, he's always been very cruel to those who lie, and you don't want to be in this kind of situation yourself."

"Now, have you decided to say something, or are you ready to turn your face with him?"

When the bearded man heard the words of the leather jacket, his face visibly hesitated for a few seconds.

But in the end, he shook his head: "I'm telling the truth, I don't know anything." ”

Seeing this, the leather jacket could only shake his head helplessly, looking at the bearded man's eyes, and couldn't help but bring a little pity.

He walked over to the man who was listening to music with his back to the two, and then cautiously looked at each other.

"Stan, you should have heard it, this guy won't admit to taking our goods."

After hearing the words of the leather jacket, the man named Stan took off his walkman, and then he turned his head, and the fierce eyes immediately made the bearded man sweat.

Then Stan didn't speak, but walked over to the bearded man, and then sniffed next to the other person's body.

Seeing Stan's actions, the bearded man was not only on his back, but his entire body was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat.

Seeing the bearded man's reaction, in fact, he didn't need to ask, and he didn't need to use any olfactory superpowers, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this guy had a weak heart.

So Stan, who was already fierce-eyed, suddenly touched his waist with his palm.

Bang Bang –

Bang Bang –

At this time, Xiao Zhuang and Zhang Pin walked to this floor of the corridor one after the other.

It's also a coincidence that the room where Xiaozhuang lives happens to be on the same floor as the room where the bearded man is.

Seeing an outsider appear, Stan's originally fierce eyes suddenly converged.

"You said you didn't steal it, then of course you didn't steal it, everyone is a friend, of course I will believe you."

Stan suddenly lifted his palm, and then hugged the bearded man.

"Hello, my name is Stan Fei, since I am a friend, then please do me a favor, find out the guy who stole my goods, and then call me, remember, it must be before twelve o'clock tomorrow noon."

As he spoke, Stan helped the bearded man sort out his clothes again, and then passed by Zhang Pin and the others and walked down the stairs.

"Whew-"

After Stan and the man in the wallet left, the bearded man couldn't help but take a few steps back and breathe with his back against the wall.

"When I first came, I was a little uncomfortable, but later I found out that even the painkillers prescribed by licensed doctors were addictive, and I slowly got used to it."

While walking, Xiao Zhuang also explained to Zhang Pin.

He remembered that Sir Zhang had always been a disdain for drug gambling, so he was actually a little worried that the other party would not be used to the situation here.

"Don't worry, I've always respected the fate of others, and I won't do anything to change my life."

Zhang Pin is very open to this, this is America, not Hong Kong Island.

Even if it is Hong Kong Island, he just tries his best to protect ordinary people, like some self-depraved guys, he will not meddle in his affairs.

"Hey, Ken, can I ask you a question?"

Just as the two were about to enter the room, Matilda, who was sitting on the fence, called out to Xiao Zhuang.

"Say it."

Xiao Zhuang is very patient with the little girl.

"Do you say, life is always so hard, or is it just because I'm a kid."

Matilda asked the question as she stroked her injured forehead and looked at her father, who was sweating profusely against the wall.

Hearing her words, Xiao Zhuang was silent for a while.

"Always."

Zhang Sir bluntly broke the little girl's fantasy.

"You'd better hand over your stuff early, or run away with your family, I don't think that guy is a good guy."

However, he was really pitiful to see Matilda so precocious, so the last sentence was to the bearded man.

"You don't have to worry about my family's affairs!"

However, Zhang Sir's kindness is obviously in the wrong place.

Hearing his words, the bearded man not only did not have any gratitude, but replied to him coldly.

In this regard, Sir Zhang naturally did not continue to persuade.

Some people want to find death on their own, but they can't pull it back.

"You mean, you want to investigate a case of stealing the bronze head of the Zodiac?"

The two entered the room, and Zhang Pin probably told Xiaozhuang about his case.

As a result, who knows, after listening to his story, Xiao Zhuang's face became strange.

"Look at you like this, do you know any clues?"

Zhang Pin is also a human spirit, so he naturally guessed the reason for Xiao Zhuang's expression at once.

"Well, it's a coincidence, I'll take you to see a friend."

Xiao Zhuang is also very calm, although one of the two is a policeman, and the other is a killer, but now they meet in a foreign country, because of a trivial matter, they have become close friends.

Because of this, when he heard Zhang Pin's words, Xiao Zhuang didn't say a word, and took him out.

After the two got into the car, they quickly arrived at a very remote community.

Knock Knock Knock –

The two went around to the back of an alley, and Xiao Zhuang walked to a small room with a pink light and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A vigilant voice soon came from inside.

"Dr. Howard, it's me."

Xiao Zhuang also followed the whisper, and when he heard his voice, there was a sound of opening the door immediately.

Zhang Pin didn't expect that this was a private clinic.

What Zhang Pin didn't expect was that there was still a patient lying in the clinic at this time.

"Is this your brother?"

Looking at the face on the hospital bed that was similar to Xiao Zhuang, Zhang Pin was a little speechless for a while.
