Alchemy Greater China

[076] Situations emerge one after another

After listening to Long Hao, he asked, "You guys already knew about Hong Zaimo being imprisoned?"

Gao Tianyang replied: "Yes, I sent you a secret telegram five days ago, but I didn't know that you came to San Francisco suddenly, young master!"

Long Hao nodded. He didn't know that the SS had established an intelligence base in San Francisco, so he didn't inform this side of the secret departure from Portland by cruise ship.As soon as he got off the boat, he ran back and forth between the South Port and the North Port, but he didn't see the code left by Gao Tianyang in downtown San Francisco, so he missed both.

Long Hao smashed his fist: "Fortunately, there is still time, Tianyang, have you found out where Uncle Hong is confined?"

With accurate information, rescuing Hong Zaimo would become very simple.

Gao Tianyang grinned and said, "I checked it out earlier, if I want to save it, I can rescue it anytime!"

After all, San Francisco is currently the largest city on the west coast of the United States. Although the buildings are not high and there are no iconic buildings that can be displayed, people still live a fulfilling life. The gradually prosperous shipping, and the distinctive immigrants from various countries, in Under the aftermath of the gold rush, basking in the sunshine from the eastern Pacific Ocean, it is injecting thriving vitality into this ancient city.

De Jong Wade is a Brazilian immigrant, but he speaks English as well as Portuguese, so he got a job as a material reporter at the "San Jose Mercury News", copying paper and pen, carrying a camera every day, in San Francisco Running around in the streets and alleys, collecting news materials for the pens sitting in the office.

Wade is a young man with great ambitions and hard work. He runs from house to house during the day, and spends time practicing writing press releases at night. He dreams that one day he will be able to sit in a spacious and bright office and read in front of a typewriter that smells like ink. Work comfortably.

But this dream seems to be getting farther and farther away from him recently, and even Wade began to worry about whether he would lose his job as a material reporter for the "San Jose Mercury News"!

The reason is very simple. The "Hunter Case" that started in April, its beginning, and the various news events that followed have formed a storm that has swept across the entire American continent.

All well-known newspapers have sent reporters to Anchorage, and key figures such as Burley, Hunter, Harrison, and Schmidt have lived up to expectations. The explosive day that made readers shout for quick updates, everyone in those newspapers looked at the monthly report with soaring performance, and they couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear.

If all newspapers in the United States do not publish news linked to keywords such as Alaska, Schmidt, gold mines, and statehood for a day, no one will buy it. The San Jose Mercury is no exception. Although it is a well-known media in California, if it is No loyal reader will pay for your paper if you don't keep up with the news craze.

Therefore, the San Jose Mercury increased the number of reporters going to Portland, Anchorage, and Washington. In order to balance the budget, material reporters like Wade who specialize in walking the streets of San Francisco naturally took a temporary vacation.

Holidays can pay half of the salary. The manager of the Courier newspaper is indeed the most loyal believer of capital, and has brought the theory of exploitation to the extreme.

Wade sat up from the bed and stretched his waist. At this time, the sunlight had penetrated through the attic window. Wade glanced at the well-placed camera next to the pillow, and sighed in his heart: If it was normal, I’m afraid Already ran two blocks...

Do you want to say that Wade hates the instigator of all this, Chief Burleigh?Not necessarily, he is also very concerned about what happened on that cold land in the far north. What he hates is his own newspaper. Why didn’t he send me to Anchorage to collect first-hand material after working so hard? Woolen cloth?Do those fat white men have the courage to cross the Denali Mountains?Was he deliberately ignored just because he was Brazilian?

Thinking of this, Wade found a piece of yesterday's "San Jose Courier-Journal", which stated that the Alaska statehood proposal had been discussed in Congress, and it was estimated that there would be a result in mid-July. , and also organized a team composed of personnel from various companies with contracting rights, ready to return to Alaska by boat. At the end of July at the earliest, we will see if there are mines in Alaska!

In this team, there are professionals dispatched by the Morgan Consortium and the Carnegie Steel Company!

Wade estimated that by the end of August, this unprecedented news tornado should die down...

Wade was thinking wildly, when suddenly there was a rustle outside the window, the sharp whistle, the chaotic horseshoes, and the panicked cries of the crowd, seemed to bring the street back to the cowboy era more than 40 years ago.

Wade turned over and sat up, went to the window to look out, and saw a group of police officers in bright uniforms, riding horses and carrying guns, galloping into the nearby Chinatown.

Are you going to attack the Chinese?Has the anti-Chinese wave spread to the point where even the ancient Chinatown is about to be submerged?Wade didn't care to put on his clothes, took his camera, and ran downstairs.

Keen Brazilians feel that this is a big news, and this is their chance to end their 'holiday'!

Stevenson rode on horseback and rushed to the front, looking at the Chinese fleeing in front of him, the turbidity in his heart seemed to be swept away at once: "The police are handling the case, except for the Hong family, avoid me! Otherwise, I will not be held responsible for accidental injury!"

The two shots of "papa" added another scoop of hot oil to the already chaotic Chinatown.

The police on the horse team quickly found the Hong Mansion and blocked the gate. Stevenson was careful enough, and with a wave of his hand, he asked four colleagues to outflank the rear to prevent the important target of this trip from escaping!

The foreign police surrounded Hong's residence, and the Chinese in Chinatown all knew the news. Regardless of whether they liked it or not, they all put down their work and came up to watch.

The roads in Chinatown were already narrow, but now, the people of the Hong Mansion just wanted to escape, and there was no room to escape.

After the arrangement was complete, Stevenson supported the pistol at his waist, jumped off the horse with a little vigor, and greeted his colleagues: "Leave some people to guard the gate, and the rest follow me in!"

Most of these colleagues are police officers who have signed the confession. They and Stevenson are already grasshoppers on the same rope.

Therefore, the police were very agile and worked together.

The people in Hong's residence retreated into the courtyard. Stevenson ordered people to open the gate and was about to step in when a flash of light lit up next to him, almost blinding his eyes.

"fuck, who?"

"I'm Wade, a reporter from the San Jose Mercury News. May I ask if the Hong family has committed some serious crimes by mobilizing people from the police station to break into the Hong family's compound?" ask questions.

Newspaper reporter?

Stevenson loosened his hand on his waist, stuffed the half-drawn pistol back, thought for a while and said, "You want to know? Then you follow, but don't hinder us from handling the case!"

To be honest, during this trip, Stevenson only wanted to arrest Hong Jae-kun who lied to him and go back to collect charges, so that his loss was justified.

To the Hong family who wiped out everything in one go?I really don't have that luxury.

A reporter followed and let the citizens know what happened, which is much more effective than my explanation afterwards!Not to mention, Stevenson is not the second-generation official who blindly thinks about it, and he still has some thoughts in his stomach.

Wade was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed in with his big camera in his arms, thinking happily: If I go out now, won't the editor-in-chief look at me with admiration?

In addition, Wade felt that his decision to rent a house next to Chinatown was really wise!

Hong Tianzhu was ill and was about to die, so the eldest son Hong Zaigan was in charge of the Hong residence. When he saw Stevenson walking in aggressively, he had no choice but to put on a smile to welcome this 'evil guest'.

Stevenson didn't look at Hong Zaikun, but asked, "Where's Hong Zaikun? I'm here to arrest him, so don't stop your Hong family's knowledgeable people!"

Hong Zaigan was surprised and astonished: "My second brother did not know what crime he committed, but he came to the humble house in such a posture as Sergeant Stevenson!"

Stevenson didn't want to talk about Hong Zaigan at first, because in the crowd behind Hong Zaikun, Hong Zaikun was there, and he just had to catch him.

However, Stevenson glanced and saw the reporter Wade following closely behind, coughed, and said in a cold voice: "This is a serious crime. Hong Zaikun allowed his son and his men to occupy the fishing grounds of the Spanish merchants. When we went to find out the situation, his son was insane and shot at us. We were caught off guard and drew our guns to fight back. In the end, although we won, 24 policemen have already died!"

As soon as these words came out, Hong Zaigan felt dizzy for a while, and Hong Zaikun collapsed on the ground like mud, shouting: "You wronged me, you charged me a thousand dollars, you, you are spitting blood!"

24 policemen died!The murderer turned out to be a member of the Hong family in Chinatown!

This is shocking news!Wade could only feel his hands trembling, he quickly raised the camera, clicked, and took a picture of the despondent beings of the Hong family.

Tomorrow's headlines must be mine!Wade's breathing became audible.
