After being busy for a while, Li Du found himself facing a kidnapping case.
Of course, this was a non-mainstream kidnapping case.
After messing around at the police station until midnight, he took Brother Wolf and the others to a hotel.
Brother Wolf asked, "What's going on? I'll go and find out where Big Fox is being held. "
Li Du said helplessly, "This guy has committed a sin, what sin did he commit? He's always hanging out with women, and now he's met with a man-eating flower. He's unlucky this time, isn't he? D * mn, we're just as unlucky! "
They took a shower and were about to sleep when there was a knock on the door. Sophie asked, "Who is it?"
"I'm Sergeant Wrigley, we just met," said a gentle voice from outside.
Sergeant Wrigley, the leader of the Riverdale police force. Li Du had met him before, but they did not know each other's situation at that time, so they just greeted each other.
Li Du did not understand why he was there, so he opened the door and invited him in.
Sergeant Wrigley was a middle-aged white man in his forties. He was a civilian police officer who had grown up in the town. His grandfather was the town's sheriff, and his father was the town's sheriff. He was still the town's sheriff, which was considered a hereditary position.
When they met, Sergeant Wrigley was all smiles. "I had to deal with some matters at the police station, so I did not have a chance to talk to you, Mr. Li. Hello, Mr. Li, thank you for coming tonight. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire."
Li Du said, "Of course, although I'm Chinese."
Sergeant Wrigley must have known about what had happened to his men. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "China and the United States are old friends, and so are we. It's a blessing to have the help of an old friend. However, my men did not give you enough help, which made me feel very guilty. I'm here to apologize. "
Seeing that he was so humble, Li Du laughed and said, "My lawyers are very efficient."
That was the only explanation. These traditional white policemen were very arrogant and would not come to apologize for no reason. Li Du thought for a while and realized that it must have been the lawyers.
It was well known that the American police were not willing to deal with lawyers. Lawyers were the most difficult to deal with. Once they set their eyes on the police, they might not be able to convict them, but they could make them beg for death.
His words were a little out of place, but they hit the nail on the head.
Hearing this, the smile on Sergeant Wrigley's face froze. He then laughed bitterly and said, "Ha, Mr. Li is a smart man. I shouldn't have said so many stupid things just now."
Li Du said, "I don't know if the sheriff understands what happened before. If you understood everything, you would know that it's useless for you to come here now. I will definitely sue your men."
He wondered why the small-town police were so afraid of lawyers. It was midnight now, and the court was definitely not working. The lawyer could only use his identity to contact the police. The police should not be so afraid.
Sheriff Wrigley said, "Things started from a misunderstanding. There's always a way to reconcile, right?"
Li Du thought about it. Smith and the other man did not hurt him much, and they did not help the black youths to bully him. It could only be said that they discriminated against him and insulted him.
He had already taken away their guns, let the young men go, and accidentally set the police station on fire. This was enough for him to vent his anger.
So he softened his tone and said, "Indeed, I am willing to forgive your people, but on one condition."
Sheriff Wrigley's face lit up. "What condition?"
Li Du took out his phone and showed him a photo. He said, "I have a friend who went missing here. His name is Hans Fox. This is his photo. You should remember him, right?"
Riverdale was not big, and Sheriff Wrigley had seen Hans Fox before. He did not need to look at the photo to know who it was from the name.
So he said, "Hans Fox? I know him. We arrested him before for harassing women. But it was not a serious crime. We locked him up for two days before letting him out. He is not in our hands. "
"I want you to bring him to me," Li Du said.
Sheriff Wrigley laughed bitterly and said, "That will be difficult. As far as I know, after he left the police station, he went to harass a woman and was caught by her family."
"In other words, they carried out a lynching?" Li Du's eyes sharpened.
Sheriff Wrigley waved his hand and said, "At most, they would imprison him. They would never torture him. I know Old Brian."
Li Du said, "Isn't imprisonment a lynching?"
Sheriff Wrigley said helplessly, "In Riverdale, buddy, the law is not that useful. I dare say that if you used your private lawyer and the four big law firms to deal with them, they would not be afraid at all."
Li Du suddenly understood. No wonder Wrigley was afraid. Neuberg must have used his connections to contact the four big law firms and sent a lawyer's letter to the town's police station overnight.
Sheriff Wrigley said, "The police force in Riverdale is not strong enough, so the people also have armed forces, which is the National Guard. Old Brian is the captain of the National Guard, so this matter is not easy to deal with."
Li Du said, "Let me ask you, can you bring my friend out?"
Sheriff Wrigley gritted his teeth and said, "Give me some time, I will try tomorrow."
After sending Wrigley away, Li Du roughly understood what was going on.
He secretly blamed Hans for causing trouble. He was unhappy, but he would not stand by and do nothing. After all, Hans was his brother.
He slept all the way until dawn. When he got up early in the morning and went out, an antique and original western town appeared in front of him.
Riverdale was quite lively in the morning. Businesses opened their doors and restaurants were open for business, giving off a strong aroma of food.
The paperboy rode a bicycle to deliver newspapers, some people walked their dogs, and some ran. This was a paradise in Arizona. It was not as hot as it was outside, so even though it was summer, everyone was still full of energy.
Li Du and Sophie strolled out of the door. A big dog ran over, and a girl shouted from behind, "Little Hans, slow down, don't scare people."
Seeing the black Castro and hearing its name, Li Du was pleasantly surprised. He was too lucky to run into a blonde shepherdess the moment he stepped out of the door.
Sure enough, the girl who ran over was the blonde ponytail that Hans was infatuated with. However, their meeting was not a coincidence. The girl ran straight to him and asked, panting, "Are you Tu-Li?"
Li Du did not mind her slip of the tongue and said, "Yes, it's me. How do you know who I am?"
The blonde ponytail smiled brightly and said, "Big Hans told me. Last night, he heard that a Chinese had brought a German to town, so he asked me to look for you this morning. You are brothers, right? But why are you Chinese and he is American? This is really strange. "
Li Du was confused. Was the girl teasing him? That was a strange question, wasn't it?
