332 Overnight
It's all for the sake of profit, for the benefit of everything.
Who would have thought that the senators would use their power to collude with Mexico's drug lords inside and outside to build a huge network of exclusive traders.
Liviera was right, as long as the wall was built.
Those of them who established the passage were equivalent to controlling several inexhaustible mountains of gold.
Through California, all the way can radiate to the entire West.
The United States is the world's largest consumer of unique goods, with tens of billions of dollars spent annually.
As long as they implement this plan, they can easily harvest a considerable part of the market with this safe and stable channel.
Ethan thought of a key point: "Then how did they evade the Border Patrol?" ”
Livira remembered something, took out her phone to search, her eyes lit up, and she pointed the phone screen at Ethan:
"Do you recognize this person?"
Ethan also took out his mobile phone and flipped out the photo he had just taken, which was the black shirt he took with Senator McLaughlin in the video.
When the two photos are compared, it is obvious that they are the same person.
"This is Vaughn, the leader of the Patriot militia."
Livira remembered something, and quickly picked up the notebook just now, flipped through it quickly, and she tapped her fingers on it heavily:
"You see, this militia has always been receiving funding from senators."
Ethan touched his chin: "Or rather, this militia is actually McLaughlin's private army. ”
"That's right."
Livira nodded, comparing the information she had searched on the Internet with the information in the computer documents: "This militia organization also assists in border patrols. ”
"Those passages are just within the range of the Patriot militia."
"Whew."
After sorting everything out, Ethan let out a breath and leaned back on the couch, thinking it was some perverted stowaway.
I didn't expect that such a big thing was involved behind it.
From Mexican drug lords to senators to militias, form a perfect closed loop.
Booth was supposed to act as an intermediary between McLaughlin and his re-election, which would push the wall forward.
With the joint efforts of several parties, this plan can be easily realized.
This is a behemoth with entangled interests, involving countless powerful people.
Livira placed her phone on the table and poured the tequila bottle into her mouth.
What she discovered tonight had a huge impact on her.
Ethan thought for a moment and took out the disc from his computer.
Along with the rest of the CD, money, and notebook, she put them in the small backpack that Liviera had just given her.
Seeing Ethan packing up, Liviera looked up:
"What are you going to do now?"
"I don't know yet, but I'll find a way to sabotage their plan, and the stowaways who are hunted by the senators also need to be seen by the world."
Ethan tossed his backpack behind him and stood up:
"Now that I've proven that I'm not panicking, and I've let you know the truth of the matter, you don't want to arrest me, do you?"
Liviera shook her head, she hesitated:
"My couch here is empty."
Now that he knew everything he wanted, Ethan was going to contact Letty to see if she could offer a place to stay or find a motel to stay in.
Livira has helped herself a lot, and what follows will be troublesome.
If it is mixed in, it will bring unpredictable damage to her originally peaceful life.
"Forget it, you don't think you've ever seen me, we never knew each other."
Ethan shook his head and continued:
"The next thing to do, if people find out, you will be in big trouble, and there are too many people involved."
Livi stretched her hand and pulled Ethan down:
"Where else can you go now, I'm at least safe here, and no one will suspect that you'll be in the home of a law enforcement officer."
"What these people are going to do, they will kill countless people."
"I admit that I don't have the courage to stand up for justice, but it's okay to keep you overnight, and that's the least I can do."
"Okay, thanks."
Ethan heard her say this, and he didn't insist anymore.
Now the people of Booth should search for themselves all over the city.
No matter how powerful he was, he never guessed that he would be in the home of an immigration agent.
Ethan had already put his things away, and after sitting back on the couch, the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.
After all, they only knew each other for the first day.
Thinking of this, Ethan chuckled and broke the silence.
"What are you laughing at?"
Livira tied her hair up, and the permed long hair formed a fluffy ponytail.
Ethan smiled, "Just thinking, we had a great day today." ”
"Really?"
Liviera rubbed her wrist, a red mark left by the handcuffs: "Why don't I think." ”
With that was done, Liviera's attention returned to what had happened this afternoon.
Ethan quickly diverted the topic: "Can I take a shower?" ”
"If it's not troublesome."
Livira glared at him, "I don't need me to get you the bath towel, I think you already know where it is." ”
"Of course."
Ethan nodded hurriedly and cheekily walked into her bedroom.
I took a clean towel from it and went to the bathroom.
After taking a hard shower to avoid the wound on his shoulder, Ethan saw the soaked clothes that he had thrown to the ground, and slapped his head vigorously.
When I left the motel today, I had already thrown all my belongings into the space.
When he arrived at Liviera's house, he had two pistols, jeans and a T-shirt, his clothes were stained with blood, and his pants were covered with mud.
In desperation, he had to open the bathroom glass door.
Liviera was sitting on the couch watching TV, and now she saw the clip of the senator being shot, and she only felt a pang of relief.
"Liviera, can I trouble you with something?"
"What's wrong?"
"Do you have too many basketball jerseys on you?"
Liviera's height is only a dozen centimeters shorter than herself, and her basketball shirt must be able to wear it herself.
"Wait a minute."
She blushed slightly and walked towards the room.
After a while, she came out with a white No. 8 Lakers jersey and handed it to Ethan: "Try to see if you can wear it." ”
"Thank you."
The jersey that looked loose on her body, Ethan did just fit it.
When they got to the living room, Liviera saw Ethan's shoulder, got up and walked to the bedroom, and after a while, came out with an emergency medical kit.
"I'll help you re-bandage it."
Ethan looked over his shoulder, the bandage on it already stained with blood.
He nodded and sat down, ripping off his jersey.
