Chapter 29 and the TV series are all lies
Bai Lu didn't really want to see White's father, but everyone came in person, and it was not appropriate not to see him, but he was very curious about what he was going to do when he saw him.
However, the image of Pete Krauss completely subverts Bai Lu's imagination.
White is quite handsome, which can prove that the genes are good, but after the age of fifty Europeans and Americans, just like that, no matter how handsome they are when they are young, they can't escape the fate of playing with water guns when they are old.
Pete Krauss is completely different, a middle-aged handsome uncle, but the smile on his face is as bright as a sunny teenager in his twenties.
"Young people, don't be nervous." Pete Krauss said gently, "I just came to see my son's new friends, and now that I've seen them, it's time for me to go." ”
Bai Lu looked stunned, turned his head to look at White: "What do you mean by your father?" ”
"How do I know?" White innocently spreads his hands. "If I had known what he was thinking, I would have inherited his company by now."
This meeting made Bai Lu inexplicable, but he didn't think much about it, he should film and then film, but he received a call from Qiao Xiaoqiao just after he started work in the afternoon, which probably meant that her classmates were in some trouble, and she had to go back a few days late.
"I need to take a leave of absence." Bai Lu directly found Drummond.
"Of course, you're the boss." Drummond shrugged, he is much better than those "authoritarian" directors in terms of human sophistication, he clearly knows who the boss is, since the boss wants to take a leave of absence, then the whole crew will stop working, as long as the film can be filmed, he doesn't mind how long it will take.
"I'll go with you." Seeing that Bai Lu was leaving, White's kraft candy properties began again.
"Do you know where I'm going, just follow me?"
"I don't know." White shook his head. "But I know there's going to be something interesting going on with you."
What is this thing for fun with?
Bai Lu was speechless, but thinking about it, after all, White was a local native, and it was not a bad thing to have a native to lead the way.
"Oh, to San Diego? It's not far from Los Angeles. White said. We'll be there by helicopter, and we'll be there soon, you wait for me, I'll call a helicopter. ”
You see, this is the daily operation of the rich second generation, Bai Lu feels that he is not very qualified as a rich second generation, and he doesn't even have a private helicopter at home, so why don't you go back and get one?
When Bai Lu was pondering whether to buy a helicopter, the helicopter had already arrived, and the bodyguard captain called several people to follow, Bai Lu refused, and only brought the bodyguard captain and a bodyguard, plus White. After all, the helicopter belongs to someone else, and it is a bit unreasonable not to take him with him.
Originally, Qiao Xiaoqiao just called Bai Lu and didn't let Bai Lu go, but this place is happy every day, right, no one can say what will happen.
San Diego is less than 200 kilometers from Los Angeles and less than two hours by car, and helicopters are even faster, arriving in just over half an hour and landing on the top tarmac of a hotel. White was very thoughtful to prepare the car in advance, a Rolls-Royce Gust.
"Go here." Bai Lu showed Qiao Xiaoqiao's address to the bodyguard who was driving.
"Yes sir." The bodyguard looked at the address and said. "Sir, don't worry, I know it's here, it's a mid-range community, and it's still very safe."
For about fifteen minutes, the car was parked in the parking lot downstairs in the community, which was an apartment building, Bai Lu contacted Qiao Xiaoqiao, and after a while, Qiao Xiaoqiao ran out: "Didn't you say I wouldn't let you come." ”
"It's not far away, I'm coming to see you." Bai Lu grabbed Qiao Xiaoqiao's hand and asked, "What's wrong with your classmate?" ”
"It's been deceived." Joe Xiaojo glanced at White. "Her boyfriend said he wanted to use the money as an investment, took all her money, and the person ran away."
"Can you speak English?" White scratched his face. "I don't understand what you're saying."
"It's fine." Bai Lu told him about it.
"That's it?" White laughed. "It's easy to do."
Bai Lu turned his head to look at him: "Call the police?" ”
"What can the police do." White pouted: "Those cops will only eat doughnuts, they won't handle cases, I need a picture." ”
A minute later, Bai Lu saw Qiao Xiaoqiao's classmate, her name was Li Yufei, she looked so good that she could only count it, her two eyes that were already crying were swollen, and when she saw Bai Lu, she just nodded and said hello.
"Yufei, do you have a picture of your boyfriend?"
"I've given it to the police." Li Yufei sobbed and said. "What do you want his picture for?"
"He said he had a way." Joe pointed at White.
Li Yufei glanced up at White, she would have been without a master for a long time, but if anyone said that there was a way, then she wouldn't mind giving it a try.
took a photo out of the bedroom and gave it to White, Bai Lu also leaned over to take a look, it was a group photo of the two people, the man was a white man, named Howard, about thirty years old, wearing a suit and tie, and a pair of glasses, and a briefcase in one hand, looking like a white-collar Wall Street worker. According to Li Yufei, he is a business manager for a surfboard company.
"Wait for my good news." White confidently put the photo in his pocket and said to Bai Lu. "Let's go, let's go find someone."
Seeing that the bodyguard was about to follow, Bai Lu let the bodyguard stay in the apartment and only brought the bodyguard captain.
"How are you going to find it?" Bai Lu was very curious, although the population is not large, but looking for a person is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, and this has been missing for almost two days, so people may have run away long ago.
"Of course, I found an acquaintance first." White analyzed with a serious face. "Your girlfriend's friend is so stupid that even if it's a dollar, he has to leave a transfer record, so that the police will quickly accept it, cash transactions? There is only a voucher for withdrawing money, and there is no voucher for transferring, which is equivalent to throwing money into the Pacific Ocean. ”
"The good news is that we have a photo, we have his work address, so then just ask his colleague to know how he is doing, according to my analysis, it is very likely that he lost money because of gambling, and this is very close to Las Vegas."
"Do you still have what it takes?" Bai Lu didn't believe it very much.
"Of course." White lifted his chin proudly. "I've watched a lot of TV series."
Bai Lu: "......"
TV series are TV series, Bai Lu can only choose to believe him.
Soon, the three of them came to the office building where Howard worked, White motioned to Bai Lu to wait for him, and he walked in alone, and in less than five minutes, he came out again.
"That's it." White looked as deep as a detective on TV: "Sure enough, like I guess...... The reasoning is the same, this bastard named Howard has become addicted to gambling, and he has been expelled half a month ago, so now, there is only one possibility. ”
After waiting for a long time, no one answered, Walter looked at Bai Lu depressedly: "Why don't you ask me what is possible?" ”
"If I don't ask, you won't say it?"
"Well, that's boring." White muttered and said. "That is, he must have gone to Las Vegas...... Don't doubt me, these gamblers all have one thing in common, that is, they will try their best to turn the tables when they lose, so he can only go to Las Vegas. ”
"Let's go to Las Vegas?" Bai Lu asked.
"Don't be that troublesome." White waved his hand. "I'm very money-conscious...... Oh, I don't have any money, but it doesn't cost much. ”
Then, White asked the bodyguard captain to drive around the street in a car, and also picked a low-grade neighborhood to go around, turned around for almost half an hour, suddenly called to stop, and then got out of the car and walked to a young white man dressed in hip-hop and wearing a gold necklace around his neck, White went over to say a few words to the man, took out the money and gave him some money, sat back in the car, and snapped his fingers: "Let's wait for the news." ”
"That's all you can?" Bai Lu was rather speechless. "Give photos and money to the street thugs and ask them to help you find someone? Aren't you afraid that he will take your money and play with you and disappear? ”
"Sometimes street gangsters are better informed than the police." White said with an expression of I'm from the past. "And I only gave him half of the money, and when I found someone, I gave him the other half, and he said that his cousin works in a Las Vegas casino, and he can get news before dark."
"I'm a woman." Bai Lu said suddenly.
"What?" White was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the crotch of Bai Lu's pants. "Haha, what are you kidding?"
"You don't believe me?"
"Of course I don't believe it, haha, I'm not stupid......"
Halfway through, White couldn't go on, seemed to realize something, and turned his head out the window in thought.
"I'm sure he'll play by the rules!" White began to comfort himself.
"You're not going to make a phone call and ask?" Bai Lu reminded him.
White suddenly looked resentful: "I only left my own number, and I didn't ask for his ......"
Bai Lusheng made him laugh: "I learned it from the TV series again?" ”
"Yes......" White rubbed his face, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "But I believe that he will not be untrustworthy, if he dares to lie to me, I will ......"
"What about you?" Bai Lu asked with a smile. "Do you know what his name is? Where do you live? ”
“…… I don't know, but I choose to believe it, let's wait. ”
Three hours later, the sun turned orange and red, dyeing the sea and sky beautifully, but White's mood was not very beautiful, he raised his head and looked at Bai Lu with some grievances: "Am I deceived?" ”
Bai Lu couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Judging from the current situation, yes." ”
"Why? Why is that? White put his hands over his head and buried his face in his knees. How can I trust a gangster? ”
"How much did you give him?"
“…… A thousand pieces. ”
"A thousand isn't a lot for you, is it?" Bai Lu patted White on the shoulder. "Just spend money to buy a lesson, don't learn to solve cases from TV dramas in the future."
"I'm stupid, really." White collapsed. "It's all a lie in the TV series!"
