Chapter 60: The Return

Ling Xiao put Gan Jing on the plane, and after some people who were not in a high mood turned around outside twice, they returned to the pharmacy alone.

As soon as he got out of the car, Ling Xiao saw Beckett standing alone at the door of the pharmacy, looking at it with some curiosity. Seeing Ling Xiao appear, Beckett hurriedly greeted him, frowned and asked, "Why is your store closed, Gan Jing, why are you alone." ”

"Gan Jing has returned to China, and he will come back after a month." Ling Xiao opened the pharmacy and said to Beckett: "So during this time, the pharmacy will often be closed, only when I am open, if you have anything, just call me." ”

"Got it!" Beck nodded, followed Ling Xiao into the pharmacy, and sat down directly across the counter.

Ling Xiao first wiped his hands, then walked to the counter, first poured a cup of hot water for Beckett, and then asked casually: "By the way, Beckett, why are you free to come over today, haven't you been busy lately?" ”

Beckett didn't notice that Ling Xiao was intentionally or unintentionally investigating the case, she said indifferently: "The case is over temporarily, and after two days of relaxation, I have to go back to work." ”

For the Los Angeles Police Department and the State Bureau of Investigation in such a short period of time, all the bandits who dared to rob the museum were arrested (one person was not arrested), the media gave high praise, and the museum director also came to thank them in person, which saved them a lot of reputation.

Two of the five gems have been recovered, and the two jewelers have naturally been praised, except for Scott West, who has not found any jewels, and there are constant complaints, but who cares about him, the media in Los Angeles are not very interested in the hapless New York businessman.

The joint investigation team has not been disbanded so far, mainly because there are still three gems that have not been recovered, a murder case has not been solved, not to mention that there is a very likely mastermind behind the scenes who is still hiding in the shadows, these things are all linked.

The only thing that surprised Beckett was that the Natural History Museum in London never showed up, knowing that the lost Derry Gem was one of the treasures over there!

Of course, Beckett didn't mean to tell Ling Xiao about these things when she came over today, she just glanced at Ling Xiao lightly and said, "At a glance, I know that you didn't read the newspaper this morning, and the situation of the case is in the newspaper." ”

"Really?" Ling Xiao frowned slightly, and while picking up the newspaper that was put aside, he explained, "I got up early this morning and sent Gan Jing to the airport, and I haven't had time to read today's newspaper yet." ”

As he spoke, Ling Xiao had already read the contents of the newspaper roughly, and suddenly a startled sound came out of his mouth.

"Hey, didn't the newspaper say that the case has been closed, why do you say it's over temporarily?" Ling Xiao looked at Beckett with some puzzlement.

"Your focus is not quite the same as that of others." Beckett smiled, without much explanation. Scott West certainly knew that the so-called closing of the case was a lie, but the unarrested Philip Johnson subordinates didn't know this, and maybe they could use this to find out something.

"By the way, how about the thing I asked you to check?" Beckett didn't say anything more about the case, and asked about himself instead.

"Wait a minute." Ling Xiao nodded at Beckett, then returned to the second floor by himself, took the information collected by Qin Ming from the safe on the second floor, and handed it to Beckett.

Beckett opened it directly in front of Ling Xiao and looked at it, and after reading it, she was silent for a long time, then she raised her head and looked at Ling Xiao and asked, "Ling, do you say that this person is dead now?" ”

"This?" Ling Xiao glanced at Beckett and said with a deep groan: "If I were to judge, this wolf knife should be alive by now. But it's certain that this person must be hiding in some hard-to-find place in Japan now, and it may be difficult to find him. I know what you're thinking, Catherine, I don't recommend you to go to Japan, it's someone else's territory, and you'll be discovered by someone as soon as you arrive, so the Japanese gangsters won't care about your identity as an American police officer. ”

Ling Xiao is most afraid that Beckett is hot-headed, and she has to go to Japan to find someone, this kind of thing Ling Xiao will not support her, if she is really stupid to this point, Ling Xiao can only be forced to give up on her.

You must know that this is the real world, unlike in the movie, the kind of thing that one person can break into other people's nests and stir up trouble is absolutely impossible to appear in the real world. What's more, the name of this world is called Marvel.

Although the history of Japan is not as old as that of China, the inheritance of ninjas and swordsmen in Japan also has a long history, and no one dares to guarantee that if you really go to Japan, you will not be unlucky to meet those ninjas.

Of course, if Ling Xiao goes alone and is careful, he may be able to achieve his goal, but if he takes a burden like Beckett, not to mention retreating, he is afraid that he himself will have to fold in. This is not Ling Xiao's timidity, for an unknown place that is very likely to be full of traps, unless necessary, with Ling Xiao's cautious and cautious character, he will not go there.

"Am I as stupid as you think?" Beckett said angrily, although there are American troops stationed in places like Japan, but the influence of the United States on that side has been declining year by year over the years, and even if Beckett wants to use some strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve his goal.

"If only you could think like that." Ling Xiao exhaled lightly, and finally let go of his heart, and said: "Actually, if you really want to find out the inside story of this, you don't necessarily have to go to Japan, don't forget, at that time, the wolf knife was a member of the Nissin Society, and at that time, the boss of the Nissin Society was the current Zhixuan, there is no reason why he doesn't know about these things." ”

"Zhixuan, I know, I will find a way to investigate this matter." Beckett squinted his eyes and nodded thoughtfully, this thing is not easy to do, after all, anyway, the Nissin Society is also one of the larger gangs in Los Angeles, and Zhixuan also has the identity of a businessman on the surface as a cover, it is not easy to move him.

But for Beckett, no matter how difficult this matter is, she has to investigate, no matter what, this is the United States, it is much easier to investigate here than to go to Japan, Beckett can rely on more power, and it can even be said that the entire Los Angeles Police Department is her backing.

Suddenly, Beckett raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Ling, you don't want to use my power to help the Chinese gangsters deal with the Nissin Society, right?" ”

Looking at the suspicion on Beckett's face, Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said lightly: "I want to deal with the Nissin, but this Chinese gang has nothing to do with it, you can ask, which Chinese don't want to deal with the Japanese?" ”

Regarding the grievances and entanglements between China and Japan, Beckett also knew a thing or two because of Ling Xiao's relationship, and he could understand his thoughts.

Just when the atmosphere between the two of them cooled down a little, the phone in the pharmacy suddenly rang, Ling Xiao walked over and picked up the phone, and said, "Hey! ”

"It's me!" The voice of James Dean, the stockbroker on the other end of the phone, only to hear him say quickly on the other end of the phone: "You quickly turn on the TV, Tony Stark has returned from Iraq alive." ”

"What?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but stand up in surprise, hurriedly walked to the second floor, turned on the TV, the TV was full of scenes of Tony Stark being helped off the plane at the military airport, it seemed that although he was a little tired and haggard, it was certain that the person was still alive.
