Chapter 219, Charity Dinner in a Three-Story House
That night, the ABC continued to follow up on Robert Bales. They showed Robert Bales being taken into the escort car and followed it all the way, eventually stopping outside the Metropolitan Correctional Center and pulling out the camera to watch the escort car drive into the prison and the gate closed.
Immediately, the host of ABC began to introduce the situation of the Metropolitan Prison and announced that ABC's new prison-themed documentary will be launched in the evening.
The host vowed that the documentary would show viewers the most realistic prison. This kind of documentary may be very marketable on the other side of the ocean, but in fact, there are not many people in the federation who watch it.
At least four out of 10 people in the federal crime rate have been in prison. What is it like in prison, just ask the people around you, why bother to watch a broken documentary?
After promoting the prison documentary, the host changed his tune and began to introduce Cedric.
Brooklyn switched to the channel out of boredom. It seems that it has been discussed with ABC, and it is also introducing Sedrake.
The introduction with AB should be more 'in-depth'. ABC's presentation was based on the news they had purchased from the jurors, and the analysis and reporting of the trial scene was restored, and the 'news' mass murder weapon was directly activated, and Cedric came to report in all directions.
They started as a child for Cedric, introduced Cedric to the military, worked as a truck driver after retiring from the army, and accidentally formed a veterans' club with several comrades.
The club started out as a veterans' bar, and at the time there was a regular, veterans' group in New York with ties to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
But the regular veterans' group was exposed to a corruption scandal, and the veterans withdrew from the association. The Veteran's Bar gradually became a meeting place for veterans and grew.
It eventually replaced the regular group as the New York City Veterans Club and was recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The moderator said
"There is information that the New York City Veterans Club, led by Cedric, has a bad relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs. This has resulted in New York City Veterans Clubs often being ignored by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Funding and appropriations for activities are only at minimum standards. ā
"This gradually caused discontent among the rest of the veterans' club."
"This dissatisfaction finally erupted in this incident."
"According to insiders, the veterans' club is secretly preparing to replace the head of the club. They were unhappy with Cedric's performance at the Robert Bales trial. Continuing to break the news, Cedric was only a truck driver before, and later ran a bar, and it was after seeing many club members get caught in lawsuits and spend a lot of money that they failed to win the lawsuit, so he moved his mind to become a lawyer.
According to people familiar with the matter, Cedric's thinking at the time was: why should this money be given to someone else instead of me? With this in mind, Cedric had his subordinates bribe the Bar Association, successfully obtained a lawyer's license, and started his career as a lawyer. ā
"According to a person familiar with the matter with the initials JKLL, Cedric has made at least millions of dollars in his role as a lawyer, all of which are held in an overseas account."
Another person with the surname TK told reporters that Cedric had an anonymously purchased cruise ship docked in New York Harbor, and the person with the surname TK also applied for a green card for Cedric on the other side of the ocean in June last year......
"The other side of the ocean does not support dual citizenship at all." Brooklyn sat on the couch, listening to the news with relish, and spat on Ray.
Lei replied with a sneer.
"What's the point of this fake news?"
"So what to see? I don't want to watch a bunch of naked men and women playing savages on an island. Brooklyn Road.
He was talking about a desert island survival show produced by Flix, in which 20 men and women were asked to survive on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean without any tools.
Ray has been following the show lately, and he's so addicted that he even bet $5,000 on one of the contestants.
Brooklyn was unfazed by this. Ray seems to be very keen to make money lately, buying all kinds of gambling every day, in addition to the ultimate winner of Desert Island Survival, there are also Voice winners, welfare lotteries, baseball games, football games, basketball games, Powerball.
Among them, Powerball is Ray's most enthusiastic project. Since the middle of the year, the Powerball Grand Prize has not been claimed, and the prize pool has now accumulated to $1.5 billion.
This is more than a huge amount of money that has caused countless people to be jealous, but anyone who has some spare money will try their luck. Ray is one of those who try their luck.
He must buy every issue, pray earnestly before every draw, hold the number bill, stare at the TV, breathe gradually as the numbers are announced, and then turn into an 'oops' sigh.
Brooklyn was a little worried that he would become addicted to gambling if he continued like this.
"That's better than listening to this man tell a mythical story. At least that's true. Ray defended his favorite show.
"Real?" Brooklyn glanced at Ray
"You can sign up to see what it means to be real." Ray pursed his lips and did not continue to refute.
He also knows that a show production is a show production and is not the same as reality.
"Old Olaf and Sara are going to get married." Ray changed the subject. Seeing Brooklyn's confused face, he explained further
"It's the truck driver who killed Negan." Brooklyn suddenly realized.
"You're going to a wedding?" He was a little strange, when did Ray hook up with Olaf Sr.?
Thinking of Ray's help to Olaf Sr., Olaf Sr.'s wedding invitation seemed to be a matter of course.
"An invitation from Ms. Sarah." Ray explained.
"When?" Brooklyn nodded in understanding, and asked as she continued to listen.
At this time, the scene of the Cedric family interviewing the camera has already begun. They were not interviewed, but were resistant, impatient, and a little frightened.
This was described by the presenter as 'not daring to face the guilt of the public'. ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ The next day, Saturday, is a rare leisure time.
Brooklyn invites David to his home for a get-together. In addition to David, there was also Mr. Governor Winston who came uninvited.
Mr. Governor was very unaware of the guests, and when he knocked on the door, David and Ray were learning how to make hot pot with Brooklyn.
When the door opened, he naturally gave Brooklyn a hug, then walked around him and greeted David and Ray one by one.
Since Mr. Governor revealed to Brooklyn that he was going to do something to his ex-wife, he seems to have completely forgotten that his semi-coercive partnership with Brooklyn has become more and more unscrupulous.
Some time ago, I called in the middle of the night to complain, dumped my son in Brooklyn, and today I went directly to the house and became an uninvited guest.
Brooklyn has a certain amount of wariness about this unqualified politician, but not highly. He tried to analyze Mr. Governor and determined that he was a political amateur.
Some of his tactics seem to be masterful, but they are too decent compared to the real politicians who have been in the mix for a long time.
Brooklyn decided that Mr. Governor was a guy who was "very bad and will continue to get bad, but not bad enough."
Such people may be deeply flawed, but Brooklyn sees them as good partners because they have not completely dehumanized them.
They are trying to control power, not become puppets of power. will not become bottomless for the sake of power, and can do anything.
Winston was like the fourth brother who grew up with three brothers, and when Brooklyn was closed, he had already slipped into the kitchen without any sense of disobedience, and was rolling up his sleeves to wash his hands, ready to make hot pot with David and Ray.
Brooklyn glanced at the coat he had dropped on the couch, then at the clothes inside Mr. Governor, and finally at the time, to make sure that he had not been on a whim, but had been planning for a long time.
Mr. Governor's coat was very formal, the same he wore when he attended events, as well as shoes, scarves and hats, which were just right with the coat.
But his inner outfit is not so good. A brown plaid woolen vest, a plain white shirt, and dark brown dark pants make him look a little nondescript.
Mr. Governor had complained that his outfit was prepared by Ms. Patti inside and out. In terms of Ms. Patti's aesthetic with a coat, it is obvious that she can't match such a nondescript dress inside.
"Where's Taylor?" Brooklyn quietly walked into the kitchen, stacked the sliced sauerkraut on top, motioned for Ray to bring it to the table, and asked.
"She's got something to do." Mr. Governor helped bring the salad and said casually
"What about Jerry, is he okay?"
"It's good." While talking, the hot pot was served, and everyone was already sitting around the table. David and Ray had a hot pot on Thanksgiving, and they were making dipping sauces on their plates, while Winston was talking to Brooklyn and learning from them, pouring a little vinegar, a little soy sauce, and some sesame oil, chili oil, monosodium glutamate, and salt...... David, whatever they put in them, he followed them, his movements were skillful, his posture was chic, and he looked very skilled.
Then it was so hot with chili oil that his whole face turned red. David and Ray couldn't help but laugh and didn't speak.
The three of them had a good get-together, and suddenly outsiders broke in, and they couldn't figure out what Winston was doing. Brooklyn was not so polite, and laughed out loud without any image.
Winston glared at him, took the glass of water that Ray handed him, and drank most of the glass of water.
"You can reconcoct it once." David said kindly. Winston glanced at the Brooklyn trio's plates, stubbornly not choosing to reconfigure.
"I can." He twisted his neck and rolled up the shredded sauerkraut with a fork, carefully dipped it in a little water, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
It can be seen that Winston is well educated, at least table manners, and even in this kind of private dinner, his demeanor is still very elegant, which is very different from the Brooklyn trio's eating.
After a few adjustments, Winston managed to learn how much to dip in. At the table, Brooklyn didn't ask him what he was coming for, but introduced the food in the hot pot.
Copper pot hot pot is required charcoal fire, this is a way to eat from the north of the other side of the ocean, put the dish in advance, pour the broth, charcoal burn red, stacked in the copper plate, the hot pot sits on the copper plate, and heats while eating.
The ingredients of the hot pot are stacked from meat to vegetables, from the bottom up, and you can add more after eating the bottom of the pot. After eating sauerkraut, Brooklyn introduced how to make sauerkraut.
When it comes to vermicelli, Brooklyn introduces the flavor of wide noodles and round noodles. After eating chicken, Brooklyn introduced n ways to make chicken.
When it comes to pork ribs, Brooklyn introduces the pros and cons of stewed ribs and grilled ribs. After eating a meal for more than three hours, the four of them were full of wine and food, and then they got up to clean up.
Winston didn't have any shelves, so he went to the kitchen with him to serve the dishes, and even took the initiative to wipe the table.
After David finished washing the dishes and said goodbye, Ray offered to go out with David with a smile, and Winston sat on the couch chatting with Brooklyn.
It wasn't until David and Ray left, and only Brooklyn and Winston were left in the room, that Mr. Governor stopped chatting.
Brooklyn waited patiently for the other to speak first. Mr. Governor reached into his pocket, pulled out a cell phone and handed it to Brooklyn.
"The photo is in the phone, only this one, there is no backup." Mr. Governor slipped his phone into Brooklyn's hand with a blank face, as if he had just been acquainted with enthusiasm.
At least in terms of proficiency in the skill of changing faces, Winston is qualified. Brooklyn complained secretly, took the phone and turned it on.
There was nothing in the phone, no software installed, no network, except for the basic operating system, just a photo, lying alone in the storage space.
Brooklyn put his phone on the couch and looked up at Winston. It's not what they say.
In the middle of the night, Winston promised to let Brooklyn take care of Jerry, and he was free to deal with Ms. Patty, and when the matter was over, he would hand over the photos to Brooklyn.
In fact, they didn't quite agree that night. Because Winston first asked for help from Brooklyn.
But Brooklyn didn't say yes. He instead asked for Jerry to be stuffed into the e. yć Brooklyn determines that there is an unknown threat that could threaten Jerry's safety.
"Let Jerry stay at your house." Winston spoke of conditions with a blank face, like an emotionless negotiating machine.
"He's been living in the car, and he's going to freeze to death if he goes on like this." Brooklyn didn't answer, but asked
"How's that going with Ms. Patty?" Winston's expressionless face immediately shattered, and he glared at Brooklyn angrily and said angrily
"Very good, thank you for your concern, I just brought a charity gala to you."
"I hope God the old man still has eyes, and don't let that crazy woman know that I didn't go to the party." Winston was all muttering, and he was a little daughter-in-law who was angry.
Unaffected by his performance, Brooklyn continued to ask
"What else is there to do other than let Jerry in?"
