Chapter 76
Pedro turned around with a smile and said, "Officer, the lubricating oil leaked, normally it can be repaired in an hour or two.
But the restaurant business is very good today, so I can only trouble you to wait another half an hour."
"Thank you," Li Changheng promised with a smile, "From now on, as long as I am on patrol, I will sit with you for half an hour at noon or around six in the afternoon."
Speaking of this, seeing Pedro frowning, Li Changheng quickly realized that he didn't like the police coming over during the peak meal time.
Quickly changed the way, "Forget it, if you need it, call the town police station, and I will rush over to help you once."
"thanks, thanks".
Pedro happily nodded to Li Changheng, walked to the garage next to the restaurant, took out a bunch of repair tools, and began to repair the fault that Li Changheng and himself just made.
Ten minutes later, a black and white town police car and an all-white state police car came to the restaurant one after the other.
When Will got out of the car, he saw Pedro in a repair suit, in front of Li Changheng's police car, tightening the bolts with a wrench.
Will winked at Li Changheng, pulled him aside and reprimanded him, while Captain Arthur asked Pedro with a smile if he needed help.
Li Changheng looked at the back of the state policeman, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and did not interrupt Will who was scolding and yelling.
He whispered to himself, "Did the state police come over last night?"
Will looked at Captain Arthur's back, nodded while continuing to curse.
Then I heard Li Changheng ask in a low voice, "That is to say, although our plan was successful, things are out of our control?"
Will nodded again, when Li Changheng still wanted to ask, he looked at the state police a few meters away, and nuzzled at Will, "Shall we go on patrol?"
Will turned his head to look at the restaurant owner who was repairing the car, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with Pedro?"
"I told him that you would deduct seven days of my salary, as long as you deduct less, he would not dare to talk nonsense."
Will nodded with a grin, but didn't intend to do what Li Changheng said.
As long as they are such sitters, as long as they don't take off their American police uniforms, it is impossible for ordinary people to offend them.
And even if Captain Arthur knew that Li Changheng had lied, so what.
He had already been vaccinated before, saying that it is normal for Li Changheng to be lazy when doing patrol work with six people alone?
Taking Li Changheng back to the police car, he smiled and asked Pedro how long it would take to fix it.
The middle-aged Pedro is still smart. He didn't go to see Captain Arthur like a fool, but muttered with a dissatisfied expression, "At most half an hour."
Then he complained and pointed at the customers in his store, "Sheriff, can't you take this police officer back first, and pick up the car when you patrol in the afternoon?
I don’t know how much money I’ve lost because of your delay.”
"Shut up, Pedro."
Will immediately said with a stern face, "You bastard only bullies, bullies the rookie who just joined the job.
If there is a problem because the patrol is not timely, are you responsible? "
After finishing speaking, Will looked at his watch, "If you can't fix it in half an hour, I promise to start tomorrow, during the peak dining hours at noon and evening.
There must be two police cars parked at your place."
"I,,", Pedro didn't dare to test anymore.
Moreover, it was exactly what he wanted to send off the three policemen around him earlier, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body, and he could return to the store to help earlier.
Twenty minutes later, three police cars drove straight to the small town police station.
Separated from Captain Arthur, Will took Li Changheng back to the office, and just sat down when Li Changheng asked, "Is Ryan dead?"
Will nodded with a frown and sighed, "Not only did Ryan die, but two of the five students died, one was injured, and two fled into the mountains.
According to the injured and arrested reader, Lane was murdered by a leader named Harbaugh and an accomplice named Larson."
Li Changheng quickly asked, "What about Harbo?"
"Dead too," Will said helplessly, "I read the confession, Ryan planned to surrender at first, but Harbaugh and Larson, who was also shot dead last night, covered Ryan's mouth and nose together , smothered him.
Harbaugh then told the other readers that as long as the warehouse and Lane's body were burned, the police would have no evidence to charge them."
Li Changheng frowned, suffocation means no wounds, and it is really difficult to determine whether Ryan was suffocated to death by inhaling thick smoke, or was suffocated to death.
But the injured reader must have lied, maybe the five of them did it together to suffocate Ryan.
Saying this now is just putting all the blame on the two dead people.
But in this matter, until definite evidence is found, there is really no way to prosecute him with homicide.
Then I heard Will continue, "After the No. 9 warehouse was ignited, the commander in charge of this mission rushed to put out the fire to protect the evidence.
Before Harbo and the others could shout for surrender, soldiers rushed in, and a fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides.
There were soldiers in front and fire in the back. Harbaugh, who walked in the front and planned to negotiate, was able to fight back after being shot several times.
In addition, the fire in the warehouse became larger, forcing the people in Cleveland to retreat to a safe place.
This gave four uninjured students a chance, and in the end one died, one was injured, and the two fled into the mountains.
As for Harbaugh, that guy bled to death last night before he even made it to the hospital."
After Li Changheng listened, his expression was serious, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
Once Ryan and Harbaugh died, many things could not be restored.
One was injured, two escaped, and the Gray Gang behind them, after knowing what happened before, shouldn't pay attention to Will.
After all, the town police were not involved in this matter from the beginning to the end. Instead, they were listed as suspects by the people in Cleveland from the very beginning, and they were not informed of this matter until the morning after the shootout ended.
Fortunately, both Will and Li Changheng didn't expect the state police to come so soon, and they didn't make any preparations, maybe they would show their feet.
Since Will is fine, he, Li Changheng, will not be in trouble either.
Even, there is no need to reveal the secret information, it was leaked out under the guise of Gore.
"You didn't expose Goyle, did you?"
"Am I that stupid?"
Will rolled his eyes at Li Changheng, "Last night, the battle was so intense that two people died in New York, and three people in Cleveland died, 1 was seriously injured and 4 were slightly injured.
In addition to the burning of the secret factory, the state police are almost crazy now.
I heard that Harbaugh's identity has been identified and all the leaders of his gang have been blacklisted. There will definitely be a large-scale search in Cleveland tonight.
I don't want to be noticed by both the Grays and the State Troopers because of Goyle.
And," speaking of this, Will chuckled, "the farm burned four warehouses and the owner's villa overnight, and several others were damaged to varying degrees.
It means that the value dropped by 40% immediately, and with the secret factory and so many casualties, the number of people who would buy it dropped by 80%.
I'll just have to wait and see, and if there are idiots out there looking for a bargain, that's even better.
Just wait and see, Henry, whoever buys the farm first will have to sell it to the townspeople at a lower price."
