Chapter Thirty

Tao Xi woke up from a long sleep and saw the hot dog placed next to his pillow as soon as he opened his eyes.

As for Marco, who had gone crazy a long time ago, Tao Xi did not wrong him when he came back this time, and gave Marco 400 US dollars in pocket money with a wave of his hand.

Do whatever you want!

Now in the United States in the 1980s, 400 U.S. dollars was really not a small amount of money. If placed in an ordinary family, it would be enough for their family to live frugally for a month.

Tao Xi, who had just returned to the sewers for the second day, was not in a hurry to go out and do anything. He first finished eating the hot dog that Marco brought him, and then Tao Xi took out from under the pillow the one that made him his first pot of gold.

The radio~

In order to receive news from the radio in time, Tao Xi kept the radio switch on and kept it on standby so that he could get more news.

Before Tao Xi took a few bites of the hot dog, the radio beside him rang loudly.

Hearing the sound of the radio, Tao Xi, who was still a little sleepy, immediately became energetic. Even his favorite meat burger, Tao Xi, didn't pay attention and just put the meat burger aside and hugged him tightly.

Listen to the radio and plan to listen to what will be played on the radio this time~

[Hello, everyone in the audience in front of the radio~]

[Thank you very much for listening to Fox Geo Discovery Channel’s National Treasures column at this time. I am your host Patrick]

[This time our theme is about local treasure map stories in Los Angeles]

Tao Xi had never heard of such nonsense TV programs as "National Treasures" on the radio, but everyone knew that these words "National Treasures" meant money~

Although he already had an employment contract with the old West family, because he was a gangster in the sewers, he did not go to the appointment on time to sign the contract~

This is the disadvantage of not having an ID card, but Tao Xi has no choice. Before the contract is signed, the other party cannot give him a salary on time. Although he has a wanted reward from the FBI and a thank you fee from the old West family, etc., these

All in all, the total is $50,000.

But as far as Tao Xi knows, $50,000 may not be enough for two people’s legal status~

Tao Xi shook his head helplessly and continued to listen to the sound on the radio!

[National treasures have become a hot topic among people around the world since the 1970s. For example, the recently released movie Pirates of the Caribbean. This series of movies is based on the clues of treasures. Today we are fortunate to have our channel’s

The producer behind it, Jerry Bruckheimer, comes to tell us about the national treasures discovered right around us]

The frowning Tao Xi had no memory at all when he heard the name Jerry Bruckheimer. However, as the sound on the radio progressed, Jerry Bruckheimer was not only on stage alone this time, but this time he seemed to be bringing someone with him.

Many Hollywood screenwriters appeared on stage~

When Jerry Bruckheimer kept introducing people's names on the radio, Tao Xi was so bored that he almost fell asleep~

[Thank you. I was lucky enough to have so many colleagues who could help me with an autobiographical film I just shot not long ago. Although John Hughes was not present due to health reasons, I am still very grateful to him. When I debuted

The first campus youth film was shot with the help of him and Don Simpson. I am very grateful for this. Without their help, I might not be where I am today!]

"John Hughes!!!"

"fxxk! It can't be the John Hughes I know!" Tao Xi was holding his radio as if he was crazy and kept muttering about Jerry Bruckheimer on the radio.

It seems that he is much older and has been unable to get to the point. Instead, he keeps thanking those who have helped him in the past.

[Oh! Yes, yes, today our theme is [National Treasure]. Actually speaking of this topic, when I was supervising the production of Pirates of the Caribbean, I talked to my old friends many times about the stories of many people who became rich overnight. Among them, I was most impressed.

The ones who are interested are a white couple who immigrated from Portugal.]

[At that time, I remember it was not long after the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympics, and that couple was an entourage of a certain Portuguese national long-distance running team.]

[Because the success of the Los Angeles Olympics made them take a fancy to the beautiful scenery of Los Angeles, they decided to purchase property in Los Angeles County and immigrate.]

[This kind of thing is actually very common in the United States, but what really surprised me was that the couple seemed to have God blessing them. Under the house they bought randomly in Los Angeles County, there was a box worth of $600,000.

Famous paintings!!!]

[John Singer Sargent, as a modern American Impressionist painter, never married. I believe many people know how much his paintings are worth. 】

[It was under this house that the couple found a red box.]

[Inside the red box, apart from a portrait that was not well preserved, there is also a makeup box! 】

[You must know that the couple only spent 30,000 US dollars to buy this house. Although this amount of money was a huge expense in that era, the couple received a reward of 600,000 US dollars for 30,000 US dollars.

.]

[I remember the address is in the wealthy area of ​​Los Angeles County, Brentwood, hahahaha. If there is a chance, we can go there together and see if there is another chance.]

Tao Xi basically didn't listen to the rest of the radio content. He picked up the cold hot dog and ate it absentmindedly~

The Brentwood community was called a wealthy area by John Hughes' old friends on the radio. Taosi disagreed. He knew the Brentwood community~

There are just more classical buildings and exquisite museums from the 1950s. As for the wealthy area? Tao Xi didn't see it.

Except for some descendants of down-and-out British and Italian aristocrats, Taosi really didn't feel that it was a place where even thieves would not want to go.

Tao Xi, who kept muttering about the geographical location, seemed to have lost his soul and lay on the wooden board in the sewer, lost in thought.

Jeffrey's life has not been as smooth sailing as he imagined since he left Los Angeles Prison No. 86. He was first promoted from the prison as warden third-level superintendent to the director of the Los Angeles branch. However, there were endless struggles and conflicts.

The civil unrest led to Jeffrey being transferred to the Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Murder Division at lightning speed~

On the surface, it seems that he has much greater authority, after all, he has been transferred from the branch to the main bureau, but only Jeffrey himself knows it in his heart!

He is taking someone else's cake in the branch. After all, being the leader and working under someone else are two different things~

Thinking of this, Jeffrey couldn't help but sigh heavily. Just when Jeffrey was preparing to deal with the security work related to the Los Angeles Olympics today, a beautiful-looking female police officer walked in~

"Chief Jeffrey, this is a private detective introduced by the New York Police Department's Major Crime Investigation Division. He wants to get some information from you. I made an appointment for you yesterday."

Jeffrey couldn't help curling his lips after hearing the female secretary's words, but he still nodded helplessly.

Jeffrey understands the ways of the world, and there are some things that he can't stand, but he can't help it. He has been in this situation for a long time, and he can't avoid the favor.

"Hello, Superintendent Jeffrey, I am Little Dalton, the chairman of Little Dalton Public Relations Company in New York. I am here to check the information of a person with you."

Jeffrey listened to this man chattering there all the time, but Jeffrey never raised his head from the beginning to the end.

Little Dalton opposite was not anxious when he saw Jeffrey's attitude. He didn't come to Los Angeles empty-handed this time. He used his previous relationship with his parents to bring him to the place he was about to meet this time.

All the people have been secretly snooping around~

Including the Director of the Robbery-Murder Division of the Los Angeles Police Department!

"Superintendent Jeffrey, I know that you are very unhappy about your previous experience."

"But in the United States, there is no way to avoid this kind of thing. You have to know that the cases you investigated at the beginning were drug-related cases. If ordinary people know that there are people in the police station who have connections with both inside and outside, they will definitely be the first to investigate these people.

background, but you cut right across the board.”

"Actually, my personality is very similar to yours. The New York Police Department also knows that you rise and fall secretly. The NYPD needs people like you..."

Jeffrey heard the fly-like detective's chirping voice in front of his ears and immediately interrupted his next question angrily: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. If you don't want me to investigate the cause of your death tomorrow,

~”

Little Dalton didn't take Jeffrey's threat seriously at all. After all, there were not many good police officers like Jeffrey in Los Angeles.

"This person! I want to know where this person is!"

Just when Jeffrey was about to call someone from the household registration department to come in and accompany the investigation, Jeffrey suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the photo that little Dalton put on his table!

After seeing Tao Xi's photo, Jeffrey raised his head and took a closer look at little Dalton~

The face of little Dalton across from him still retained the pride that used to belong to the New York Police Department. When Jeffrey saw the smile on his face, a trace of memories flashed through his mind, but soon Jeffrey thought of prison.

Bolton in ~

"You...are looking for him? What are you doing?"

When little Dalton saw the expression on Jeffrey's face, he quickly realized something, but little Dalton was not in a hurry. He just adjusted his facial expression and whispered to Jeffrey: "I

I owe him my life, I don’t like owing favors, I want to pay him back!”

This is how the chat between Jeffrey and little Dalton began~

A few days later, the New York Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department quickly obtained a flight ticket and a certificate of nationality for a business trip from Rwanda to Los Angeles~

Taosi and Marco became Rwandan citizens in this way, and they also own a bungalow in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.

The reason why Little Dalton helped Taosi and Marco choose Rwanda was not a blind decision, but because Rwanda was full of wars before 1973. However, after the establishment of Rwanda, the United States directly set Rwanda as his exemption.

The country has signed a 90-year visa, and as a citizen of Rwanda, you only need to pay 50 US dollars to complete your request to continue to stay in the United States~

With this household registration certificate and the guarantee from Dalton Jr., a former New York Police Department officer, there will definitely be no problems!

If someone is willing to go to Rwanda to investigate, Rwanda did not even have a household registration system before 1973. If he can find out something, then there is something really wrong~

When everything was done, little Dalton not only hugged Jeffrey, but also said to Jeffrey: "Actually, you are really a good policeman, but good policemen have no future in Los Angeles."

After saying this, little Dalton turned around and walked away without looking at Jeffrey who looked complicated~

Standing at the door of the Los Angeles General Administration, Jeffrey actually didn't care about Dalton's words but recalled Tao Xi's sexy moves in San Francisco with emotion on his face~

How could Jeffrey, as the Los Angeles branch chief at the time, not know about things in San Francisco?

They are all managed by the Los Angeles State Government, and every promotion and demotion has become a good story within the entire Los Angeles Police Department~

Chief Lewis, who was just waiting to retire, not only became a rising political star in San Francisco overnight to protect the country, but also directly participated in the election of the next mayor of San Francisco. And he had just become the sub-chief from Los Angeles Prison No. 86.

The old guy was forced to be transferred to the Los Angeles Bureau and became a director because of purges among his subordinates?

Who doesn't call him a dim-witted old guy behind his back now~

At this time, Tao Xi was walking alone on the main road of the Brentwood Community Market. The hot dog stalls, silk scarves, groceries, and countless second-hand items on the roadside looked like a flea market in later generations.

But Tao Xi tilted his head and couldn't see any signs of a wealthy area from here.

That is to say, from the surrounding buildings, you can see that some ancient buildings with historical reference value are densely scattered on both sides of the flea market. The Rocky Mountains in the distance make the environment here look extremely beautiful.

Tao Xi did not look at the things sold by the vendors in the market. Instead, he stared at the notes he made in his hand and the newspaper he just bought from the newsstand. He kept looking around at the house numbers on every building in the Brentwood community~

As Tousi moved deeper and deeper into the Brentwood community, he also strayed further and further away from the Brentwood community.

When the flea market disappeared around Tao Xi, Tao Xi felt a little guilty: "Is there something wrong with this radio? It shouldn't be? The sales information in the newspaper also said that there is a house for sale at this address? 1799

Where is the number? Why is there no such house number?"

Tao Xi muttered, getting further and further away from the Brentwood community~
