At this moment, Desmond Evans added, “You should still be at the police station now, right?”
“Yes.” Jack Li laughed at himself, “After such a big incident, I’m afraid I’ll have to live in the policestation for the next few days.”
Desmond Evans smiled faintly and said: “It seems I guessed right, I’m downstairs now, if it’s convenientfor you, I’ll come up now.”
Jack Li was surprised.
He wanted to ask something, but held back and busily said, “I’ll have someone pick you up!”
“Okay.”
Soon, Desmond Evans, who was wearing a duck-tongue cap and a black mask on his face.
Led by a police officer, came up.
He carried two kraft paper shopping bags and came directly to Jack Li’s office.
As soon as Jack Li saw him, he was surprised and asked, “Desmond Evans, why did you come to NewYork? Didn’t we hear that you went to China some time ago?”
“Yes.” Desmond Evans nodded and laughed bitterly, “I went to China.
But I ran into a lot of dust, so I came back in disgrace.”
Jack Li asked curiously, “What happened? There are still people who can make you meet a wall?”
“Don’t mention it.” Desmond Evans said helplessly: “This matter… is really a child without a mother, it’sa long story.”
After that, he put two kraft paper bags on the table, and asked, “You are now considered off duty, right?I brought some food from Chinatown and a bottle of your favorite Xifeng wine.
If you can drink, let’s have a few drinks.”
Jack Li laughed and said, “I’m already off duty.
I don’t dare to go home because I’m afraid that the goon media team will bombard me.”
Saying that, he hurriedly took out the bottle of Xifeng wine from the bag, exclaiming, “Holy sh*t, thiswine must have been stored for decades, right?”
Desmond Evans nodded: “It’s said to be from the early days of the founding of the country.”
Jack Li sighed: “If my old man were still alive, he would be overjoyed to see this wine!”novelbin
Jack Li’s ancestors were from the northwest and during the Republic of China, he was already a veryfamous and wealthy businessman in the northwest, and later, when World War II started, the family fledto the United States from the country.
After many hardships, they put down roots in the United States.
And Jack Li and Desmond Evans are of similar age, both in their fifties, they are also born and raised inthe United States.
Although not grown up in the Northwest, but because of the influence of their fathers, many habits areconsistent with the Northwest people.
Jack Li’s grandfather and father, all love Xifeng wine, so his generation is also the same.
Desmond Evans at this time from the kraft paper bag, took out some packaged cold dishes, there arepork head and other marinated items, also some crisp cold vegetables, peanuts, and other things.
He opened the things one by one and set them up while sighing: “Oh, that particularly good Cantonesestyle roast goose in Chinatown is not open today.
Otherwise, I would have bought an extra roast goose to eat.”
Jack Li said, “What’s so good about that stuff, it’s sweet and cloying, might as well just bake it and eatit.”
Desmond Evans laughed: “That Cantonese style, roast on the blast furnace and then slice into meat foryou to eat like rolled cake, does it not become a normal roast duck?”
Saying that Desmond Evans handed him a pair of chopsticks, and Jack Li found two disposable watercups.
Two glasses of wine were poured.
Jack Li picked up the cups and said impatiently, “Come on, let’s go for one!”
Desmond Evans nodded, and the two paper cups symbolically clinked.
Then each took a sip.
Then, Desmond Evans put down his cup and asked: “You and I have been brothers for many years.
Is there anything that I need to help you with at the moment? Although the Evans family’s focus hasshifted to the West Coast in the past few years, New York is after all our old base, there are still a lot ofpeople here, I should be able to help you a bit”
Jack Li smiled and spoke: “Thank you for your kind words, but I feel that the matter at hand, not a lot ofpeople can solve, the clues all of a sudden are broken too completely.
As if a knife in the void directly cut them off.
It looks like there is a very large and professional team behind the scenes.
If I can not find the breakthrough point of this team, then the case may never be solved.”
Desmond Evans nodded and sighed, “I really didn’t expect that someone could kidnap the Joulesfamily in New York and still leave.
You, a top notch Chinese detective, at a loss, could it be that some big shot came to New York?”
