Chapter 294: Li Shiri's Bottom Line
Half an hour after Wyatt and the three left, Lee appeared at the door of the archives.
Afraid that others would notice him, he lowered his head and followed a staff member carrying a bag into the door.
Lee walked in as he walked in, glancing around, keeping an eye out for other Pinkerton detectives in the archives.
Then, his gaze met the patrol captain who was walking out with the people.
At this time, the captain was thinking back to Wyatt's arrogant appearance just now, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
He happened to see the oncoming Lee Shiri, and at the same time saw the Pinkerton badge on his chest at a glance.
"Trash!" He spat at the Chinese opposite.
Li Shiri tilted his head slightly, dodging the "biochemical attack" of the patrol captain, his face was gloomy, and his hands were clenched into fists.
But he still didn't have the courage to swing his fist at the patrol captain, so he just buried his head deep again and hurriedly passed by the captain's side.
The captain was disappointed, very unhappy, and was ready to step forward to block Li Shiri's way.
But the younger brother on the side reminded him that he had to go back quickly and report the results of the information to the director.
So, he finally chose to say a cruel word: "You guys fucking wait for me, we'll see!" ”
Although Li Shiri was very angry with the patrol captain, he had no intention of thinking about this problem.
Instead, he walked straight inside the glass door.
After Li Shiri showed his ID to the blonde young man who received him, he asked eagerly, "Did my colleague come to read the information just now?" ”
The young man looked at the name on his certificate, and then at Li Shiri, with a somewhat strange expression: "Well, yes, sir." ”
"Whose information are they accessing?"
"Well, they ......" The young man returned Li Shiri's certificate to him, and stopped talking.
"Please tell me." Lee quietly handed the blonde young man fifty cents and whispered.
"They're looking at your stuff."
Li Shiri's face was like ashes.
It seems that the people at the Pinkerton Detective Agency are suspicious of themselves, and if they find out that the identification they provided is fake, they will definitely be sent back to China.
On the other side of the ocean, there are many people who want his life.
Li turned his head and left on the 10th.
He decided to take another gamble to see if his junior brother could change his life and make the person in charge of Pinkerton turn a blind eye to his deception.
Ten minutes later, he was back at the door of the Pinkerton Detective Agency's San Francisco office.
Pinkerton's office in San Francisco, on Jackson Street, was first headed by the big Lynch, who died in the valley of New Mexico.
He rented a storefront room on the street, where he usually only had one or two liaisons.
At that time, there was no one here, and there were many doors.
In the aftermath of the Docksman's Union fire, Pinkerton realized that he was lacking in the West Coast town.
William Pinkerton, the second son of the agency's founder, Alan Pinkerton, moved here, and at the same time established the Western General Command here.
Lynch Jr. in the original "Three Heroes of the West" disappeared, and even his body has not been found; Dolby is inexplicably killed by a gang of bandits, leaving only the oldest and most experienced Heilman.
What's even more intolerable is that some time ago in San Francisco, they were also planted.
Alan Pinkerton couldn't bear this tone, and he decided to investigate the truth.
He sent a large number of employees over.
So now it's back alive.
Li Shiri put his hands in his pockets and walked into the door of the office.
There were a lot of agents coming and going in the corridor, but few of them were waiting to see Li Shiri.
If when he was on patrol he was constantly blinded because of his skin color, then in the Pinkerton Detective Agency, he was always looked at through his nostrils, not only because of his skin color.
In the eyes of those Pinkerton detectives who are above the head, he is of little use except to be able to fight.
Li Shiri lowered his head and walked into his team's lounge.
To his surprise, his captain and his teammates on the same team were there.
And his teammates are all looking at him with a strange gaze.
Li Shiri didn't have the time to pay attention to the eyes of these people, but walked straight to his captain:
"Captain, I want to see Mr. Pinkerton, I have an urgent matter with him!"
The captain leaned his ass against the table, as if he hadn't heard Li Shiri's words.
He clasped his hands in front of his chest, lit a cigarette for himself, and glanced at Li Shiri: "Why did you go back early last night?" ”
Li Shiri was stunned: "I'm not feeling well, didn't I report to you in advance?" ”
"Where did you go this morning?" The captain took a puff of his cigarette and tilted his head to look at Li Shiri.
Li Shiri felt that something was wrong.
The captain's tone now seemed to be interrogating a prisoner.
He thought for a moment and decided to answer truthfully: "I went to have a coffee with my junior brother, yes, you heard it right, it's my junior brother, the arson case at the dock, he has a major suspicion." ”
"That's what I'm going to report to Mr. Pinkerton." He added.
The captain snorted, not seeming to be interested in the matter: "Robert's wallet is lost. ”
Li Shiri was struck by lightning, he glanced at the other team members in the room, and took a deep breath: "You won't suspect that I stole it, right?" ”
"We didn't say that." Robert, the owner of the wallet, shrugged, "But we agree that you're the most suspicious." ”
The others present did not speak, but judging by their expressions, Robert's words represented their point of view.
"If you don't mind, can you let us do a search?" The captain said.
Li Shiri finally couldn't help it, his face was gloomy, and his voice was cold: "I gave you my life, and you actually suspect me of doing such a thing?!" ”
The team members looked left and right, and a few people stepped forward, ready to get started.
"Who dare?" Li Shiri finally hardened, and roared angrily, and his momentum was amazing.
The few people who were just about to approach were stopped by his momentum and stopped moving.
They have seen this person's skills, and if they rush forward, they are afraid that they will not end up with any good, and if they are unlucky, they are afraid that they will break their arms and legs.
The captain pulled out the gun from his waist.
And those team members, who also followed their captain, drew their guns one after another.
For a time, more than a dozen gun barrels were aimed at Li Shiri.
"How can I be humiliated by a body search? How can you smear my innocence?! In the face of these dozen or so gun barrels, Li Shiri's voice was like a bell, his words were sonorous and powerful, and his voice echoed in the room.
"Me! Self! Oneself! Come! ”
He began to dig into the pockets of his clothes, turning the contents out, one by one, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the room.
Change, papers, keys, cakes that I didn't finish in the morning......
However, when his hand touched the last thing in his pocket, his fingers felt like they had been electrocuted.
This thing, as if it wasn't his.
The captain saw that Li Shiri's expression was different, and moved the muzzle: "Take it out!" ”
Li Shiri stood awkwardly in place, hesitating.
"Hurry up! Take it out, I won't repeat it a second time! The captain gave a warning, and the thumb reset the hammer of the revolver.
Li Shiri had to take the thing out of his pocket.
Everyone's eyes fell on the table along with that thing.
The last thing Lee took out on the 10th was Robert's lost wallet.
"I'll just fucking say it......" Robert sprang out of his mouth as he stepped forward and grabbed Lee by the collar.
And Li Shiri, who was lost and depressed, didn't even dodge.
"Let go of him." Or the captain is more reasonable and let Robert go.
He turned to Li Shiri: "Everyone has stolen goods, what else do you have to say?" ”
Li Shiri was silent and did not answer.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hand you over to those stupid cops in San Francisco." The captain hooked his finger at the Chinese in front of him, "Pinkerton can't afford to lose this person." ”
"You put him in a confinement cell." He instructed the two team members around him, "Lock it up for a few days first, and then hand it over to the judge, or we will deal with it internally, and I will discuss it with the chief." ”
Two members of the team held a gun to Li Shiri and escorted him into a confinement room.
One more, two more later
