nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 16

The familiar slogans from Prison No. 86 made Tao Xi, who was straightening his cigarette butts with his head down, feel a little better~
But when Tao Xi was about to take out a can of cigarette butts from his pocket and put them out as usual, a sudden sound from the drain gave Tao Xi a jump.

"Long time no see~"

"Fxxk!!!" Tao Xi was shocked when he heard the voice.

The person sitting at the drain also laughed out loud when he saw Tao Xi's action: "Oh! My God! Look, my little Tao Xi was frightened. This is the one I know who is not afraid of anything. Little Towsie?"

"Uncle Bolton~"

"Haha, it seems that my little Taoxi may have suffered a lot of grievances recently!"

"He even knew that he acted like a baby with his elders like other children!"

The smiling Bolton hid the smile on his face the moment he looked up.

Not far away, a policeman and two prison guards who were staring at him vigilantly couldn't help but shiver when they saw Bolton's expression.

One of the young police officers in the uniform of the Los Angeles Police Department saw this scene, "Oh my God, that guy who did all kinds of bad things outside just laughed!"

A prison guard who seemed to be about his age heard the shout echoing in the sewer and directly shrank his body behind the prison guard next to him and replied in a low voice, "I know! Don't look at me and say it! OK?"

Another prison guard with some gray hair and the obvious "sheriff style" on his epaulettes lowered his head and touched his nose and said in a low voice: "If you don't want to be caught by a group of people in red clothes on the way back to the police station in a few days, A lesson from the gangsters, I advise you to be more respectful."

The young policeman obviously didn't understand, but instead he gave Bolton an unconvinced look.

Bolton lowered his head and rubbed his two big hands indifferently. Bolton, who lowered his head, saw the traces of childishness on Taoxi's face along the drain and couldn't help smiling again and said, "Kushner came here not long ago. I visited the prison, and he told me that you have a new idea?"

Tao Xi heard that Bolton wanted to talk to him about his future plans.

Tao Xi, who was still a little embarrassed at first, straightened his face and nodded seriously, and replied: "Yes, I want to be a night walker!"

"Wow, did you come up with that nickname? Doesn't sound like a great career!"

After Bolton took the cigarette butt that Tao Xi thoughtfully prepared for him and felt all over his body but found no match, Bolton recalled that he had just been released from the small dark room of Prison No. 86 a few days ago. None of the items stored in the storage room were retrieved.

Bolton looked around and waved at the prison guard standing on the edge of the lawn staring at him with disbelief~
When the young policeman saw that the legendary blood boss in Bolton was calling him, he felt a twinge in his heart.

It's like the keyboard man sitting across from the computer is at a loss when he suddenly sees a real person.

Judd Novan looked nervously at his colleagues on the left and right, when he found that the old prison guard turned a blind eye to this scene~
He looked at Bolton again.

The blood gang boss who sat cross-legged on the prison lawn as if on vacation was already a little impatient, and he still had a cigarette dangling from his mouth~
The rookie police officer responsible for transferring prisoners to Prison No. 86 took a deep breath and walked slowly towards Bolton who was sitting in the middle of the lawn.

But Tao Xi, who was standing in the sewer, didn't know that so many things happened in just a short moment, but raised his head seriously and explained the reason to Bolton~
"Hill needs to go to school. I plan to send him to West Lake Harvard Middle School. He is very smart and he needs a good learning environment."

"Marco and I also need a legal labor passport! Uncle Kushner told us that we don't have to be Americans. The current American green card is too expensive!"

"He advised me to spend money to buy a citizenship of a small country that doesn't require a visa, and the E2 passport is the best option."

"As for the night crawler job I told you, my character is very good. No one cares about this job. I just need to go and shoot some crime scenes and hand them over to newspapers or TV stations to get paid."

"The most important thing is that this position is respected by the police~"

Tausi thought of how "Nightcrawler" Malone was disgusted by those policemen that day. To reassure Bolton, Taoxi used the word "respect",

Bolton, who was sitting on the lawn, was leaning on the trunk of a big tree with all its branches cut off, listening happily to Tao Xi's explanation. As for the Nightcrawler?
A professional vocabulary immediately popped up in Bolton's mind!
"Investigative Reporter"

Investigative journalists are just one branch of the journalistic profession, but traditional investigative journalists are different from the investigative journalists Bolton knew.

The "investigative journalists" Bolton knew were called private investigators in their "industry"~
In Bolton's view, this kind of person is a group of moths that live in the families of the rich. Sometimes gangsters use this kind of person to learn about upper-level information or policies in order to reduce risks when they do some secret things. Some troubles will come to gangsters to send some money or buy some news.

"It's a good job, but if you want to really stand in the sun, it's not enough to do this~"

Tao Xi was a little nervous when he heard Uncle Bolton's words, and he was relieved. After all, Bolton is one of the few adults in the world who can give him advice.

But standing opposite Judd Novan, he felt a different aura, although Judd Novan has been forcing himself to apply the routines he learned in the police academy to Bolton, Not only did it not work~
Bolton just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and Judd Novan touched his left hand to the position of the gun!

"I'm warning you! You'd better show some respect in prison, now be obedient, raise your hands up, squat down with your head in your hands!!!"

Judd Novan pointed at Bolton's face with one hand, his left leg was bent, his right leg was stretched straight, and he was constantly moving back. His left hand had already opened the gun holster around his waist~
"Boo shit, did he offend someone in the police station?"

"He actually came to let him be the handover of prisoners in Prison No. 86!"

This move by Judd Novan directly startled the old prison guard Jeffrey. Just as the old prison guard Jeffrey moved quickly towards Bolton, a group of prisoners who were doing morning exercises not far away exploded in an instant. pot~
The young prison guard took a look and hurriedly raised his hand to blow his whistle. If things continued like this, it might turn into a prison riot.

Prison guards in several guard towers around Prison 86 also got the signal and looked towards the courtyard.

Judd Novan saw that some of the prisoners not far away had rushed towards him. He didn't know that all of this was because of the man in front of him!

The flustered Judd Novan drew his gun while backing up: "I warn you, if you continue to indulge your accomplices" Judd Novan hadn't finished speaking yet, and he felt a huge wave behind him. The strength kicked at the popliteal of his leg,

As a diamond-shaped depression in the knee area, it is very fragile~
Judd Novan knelt down directly on the ground, and before he could react, the old prison guard Jeffrey took the pistol from Judd Nofan's hand with one hand.

"fxxk!"

"Jeffrey! What are you doing!"

The old prison guard Jeffrey ignored the idiot lying on the ground, but turned to the group of prisoners not far from Bolton and ejected the bullets from his pistol: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Guys, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm not retired and neither is Bolton! Trust me and trust him!"

Bolton ignored the old prison guard Jeffrey, but lowered his head and smiled at the concerned Tao Xi.

"Bolton! Come on, he's just a rookie who just joined the team for less than a full moon~" The old prison guard Jeffrey explained to Bolton with a bitter face.

Bolton didn't answer the old prison guard Jeffrey. Instead, he stood up and walked towards Judd Novan. Judd Novan, who had just stood up, knew he was scared~
All kinds of rumors about Prison No. 86 that he heard in the police academy emerged again!

【Prison No. 86 is the most police-free prison in California】

[California's felony gathering place, as early as ten years ago, people died there every day]

[If the prison guards there are not gang members, it is difficult for them to live long]

Bolton looked at the trembling little policeman in front of him and dismissed it disdainfully, took out a lighter from Judd Novan's pocket, lit the cigarette butt in his mouth, and said to himself: " You're lucky and hopefully you learn that lesson today."

Bolton blew a puff of smoke on Judd Novan's face, and then helped Judd Novan tidy up his wrinkled police uniform, put the lighter in Judd Novan's trouser pocket, and turned around Walk towards the drain again~
When passing the old prison guard Jeffrey, Bolton said lightly: "Today, the prison should have sent a few Mexicans captured from Koreatown, and put them in my cell."

The old prison guard Jeffrey nodded and left towards the "release area" of the prison with his arms around the newcomer who had already been frightened.

The morning exercise is over, and the prisoners in the prison are free, but there are many prisoners lined up in a long queue ten meters away from Bolton in an orderly manner~
Bolton, who was sitting on the lawn, didn't plan to explain something to Tao Xi, but Tao Xi from the sewer didn't intend to ask either.

There was a long scar on Bolton's side face, and Bolton, who rubbed the scar on his face, thought for a long time before he said: "Tausi, since you have decided, go ahead and Kushner will give you Introducing a few of our old friends will probably help you a lot!"

Tao Xi nodded obediently, and after smoking the butt of the cigarette, Bolton nodded to the person who led the head not far away and left.

After leaving Bolton, the lawn became lively in an instant~
The prisoners who had already formed a long line scrambled under the command of the person at the head of the line and stretched their left hands down to talk to the drain~
Tao Xi, who has obtained the future career path development plan, is also happy and happy in the sewer!

Because Tao Xi had a premonition that his business today was particularly good, and he also got several purchase orders outside the prison.

[The Sun's latest photo album of beach beauties]

[A letter from Los Angeles County]

As long as it is not prison control supplies, Tao Xi has accepted all these orders, but when the crowd slowly dispersed, a cowardly voice suddenly came over~
"Hello, is your name Tao Xi?"

Tao Xi was obviously taken aback when he heard this voice with a stick in a net pocket, because Tao Xi was not very familiar with this voice, but he couldn't remember when he heard it~
"me."

"Don't be nervous, do you need to buy cigarettes or do you need me to help you buy them? But first let me say that illegal things and controlled knives are not allowed."

Tao Xi frowned and looked towards the drain after saying this.

When Tao Xi saw half of this man's face protruding in the sewer, Tao Xi still didn't recognize him, but simply felt that his voice was very familiar, because it is very rare to hear a pure Los Angeles accent in prison No. 86 ~
It just so happens that the person above sticking his head out is that, and he is also a white man!
The white man on the drain saw Tao Xi's expression through one eye and suddenly realized: "I'm the one you gave me a free cigarette butt last time!"

"Oh! Yes! Come to think of it, sir, are you going to settle the bill for me this time?"

The person above the drain immediately got excited when he heard Tao Xi's words: "Yes, Yes, Yes, I hope you can bring a message to my parents. I am a WJLA-TV affiliated to the ABC Reporter for the local news channel, my name is Gerry Lively."

"What do you say you are?"

When Gerry Lively saw Tao Xi standing in the sewer, his voice involuntarily became louder, and Gerry Lively couldn't help but twitched in his heart!
Gerry Lively raised his head and glanced at the black man who was staring at the drain. The man with his hands on his chest glared at him. Although he didn't say anything, Gerry Lively was still a little scared, because these few days God, if it weren't for the kindness of the little boy standing in the sewer to him, maybe he would have picked up the soap more than once.

Gerry Lively's desire for freedom still made him have the courage to say it again: "I used to be a reporter, and my name is Gerry Lively."

Tao Xi couldn't help laughing when he heard this person's introduction.

Because he was worried that if he didn't know who to sell the things he photographed, Prison No. 86, a melting pot of social dregs, would be delivered to his door!

"How did you get in?"

"I, I, I." Gerry Lively stuttered again at the crucial point~
