Chapter 313: Invitation and sniping! Ask for a monthly pass) 5300 words for a monthly pass
The relationship between the FBI and Kay was okay, so the FBI's visit was really just to go through the process. They didn't believe that the Chicago massacre was related to Kay. So after chatting for a few words, they left.
But just as Kai sent a few agents out, a Porsche 911 parked in front of the police station.
Several agents looked at the Porsche in surprise. This kind of sports car is rarely seen in rural America. Compared with such low-chassis cars, the average American still prefers muscle cars with high horsepower. Especially pickup trucks.
It has a large space and enough horsepower, so it can not only be used at home, but can also be used as a truck.
Before several agents had finished being surprised, a fashionably dressed woman walked out of the Porsche. The woman had blond hair, i sunglasses, a light yellow women's suit and a one-step skirt. He was wearing a fur and carrying a
The leather gloves look like a rich man at first glance.
Generally speaking, this kind of dress is a bit old-fashioned in the eyes of Americans who like to be casual, but this woman's aura can perfectly support her clothes, making her look not tacky at all, but a bit...
A domineering nobility.
The woman took off her sunglasses and glanced at the several agents. Then she walked up to Kai as if no one else was around and stretched out her hand.
“Beth Dutton!”
Looking at the woman who didn't take off her gloves, Kai frowned. This woman was so rude.
So Kai ignored her outstretched hand and said directly: "Ms. Dutton, is there anything I can do for you? If you want to call the police, I can arrange for someone to give you a statement."
Several FBI agents looked at each other, and they all felt that Kai was really too tough. You know, when dealing with rich people, whether it is the FBI or other departments, you need to be careful and careful. There is no way, in the money society. Even the government,
You also need to give in before money.
There is no way, in this magical country, suing the government is what many people like to do. Especially those lawyers. The two things lawyers love most are money. Lawyer fees in the United States are very expensive. Therefore, those lawyers like it very much.
When they cause trouble, the bigger the matter, the higher the legal fees they get. The second is reputation. Many lawyers like to litigate cases for vulnerable groups, even for free.
There are many examples of this. For example, some cases were brought against large companies. I forgot which state it was in. A large chemical group in the United States polluted the environment locally and was sued by local residents. At that time, a group of lawyers jumped out and wanted to help.
The poor residents filed a lawsuit.
Do you really think those lawyers are really here to deliver justice?
Although there is no denying that there are indeed such people, there are very few of them. Regardless of what those lawyers say is free, in fact, what they really want is fame!
Do you know why those who study law like to intern in those big law firms? Because those firms are famous! For the lawyer profession, fame and income have always been directly proportional. If you are famous, you can develop more
Good connections, and connections are also very important in the legal world.
There are nine federal justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. These nine justices are the interpreters and defenders of the U.S. Constitution. They have great power. The key is that these nine justices are lifelong. Once they take office, they will die or resign.
, no one can remove them.
This position is awesome, right?
But such a position actually has a legacy. If you look at the resumes of all federal justices, you will find that their mentors were once justices.
This shows how important connections are in the legal profession.
So in many cases, lawyers value reputation more than money.
And for the sake of fame, those lawyers dare not sue the FBI, even the President of the United States.
If the FBI provokes a rich man, if there is no real evidence, just wait for the defendant to be disgraced!
For example, the famous Simpson's wife-killing case was regarded as solid evidence no matter which country it was in, but when it got into the hands of those big lawyers, they directly acquitted it... It's conceivable that
You know how awesome those lawyers are.
Lawyers are awesome, and rich people who can hire awesome lawyers are naturally even better.
I'm going too far. All in all, Kai was too tough when it came to dealing with such an obviously rich man. The few FBI agents he dealt with were a little worried about him.
But no one expected that the woman looked at Kai playfully, then smiled, took off her gloves, and stretched out her hand again.
Although Kai has received more than thirty years of socialist education, he has also received more than twenty years of knightly education. Some things have inevitably affected him. For example, the virtues of knighthood. For women who are not enemies, Kai will subconsciously maintain his grace.
.Although this woman was very rude before, but now others have changed, he will be a bit stingy if he continues to act like this. Not only is this not allowed by knightly virtues, but even with Kai's traditional education, he cannot tolerate being stingy with a woman.
.
After shaking hands, Kai asked again: "Okay, ma'am. I think when you come here, you don't just want to see me and shake my hand, right?"
Hearing her last name, Kai could guess that it must be related to his previous report to the Dutton family.
But Kai doesn’t think it’s necessary for the Dutton family to find him.
"My father has always taught us that the Dutton family never owes anyone a favor."
Kai shook his head and did some research on the Dutton family. Generally speaking, this family is not very evil. Although it is inevitable that they will do some dirty things secretly, this family has always led Minnesota's agriculture and animal husbandry.
The association has made a lot of contributions to the agriculture and animal husbandry industry in Minnesota and has fought for the interests of many farmers. Many farmers are still very grateful to this family. Otherwise, this family would not have been able to control the association for decades.
So although Kai has a general impression of this family, he doesn't have any bad feelings.
"No need, we are just exchanging, my goal has been achieved. So there is no favor, I found your father, and I didn't want to get anything from him." This was Kai's true thoughts, the reason why he went to find Da
For the Don family, this is all for quick results. His purpose is to get rid of suspicion and then fight back against the bastard Okaro.
Judging from the current situation, his goal has been exceeded. Okaro will have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Unexpectedly, this woman's eyes brightened even more after hearing Kai's answer. As the most aggressive person of the Dutton family, Beth Dutton harbored a deep suspicion towards anyone who rashly approached her family.
Be vigilant. The real world is very cruel. Even the Dutton family must be vigilant at all times to prevent being divided by the wolves around them.
For now, there are three forces peeking at the Dutton family's land. One is the state government. The Dutton family owns so much land that it has affected the development of some cities, which has caused a headache for the state government. From the above
Since taking office as governor, the state government has been working to divide the Dutton family's land.
Even during the term of the previous governor, the Dutton family was sued. A town wanted to develop, but the surrounding land was all owned by the Dutton family, so the town sued the Dutton family and wanted the Dutton family to transfer a piece of land.
4,700 acres of land.
Of course, this kind of nonsensical prosecution will have no effect. It is private land, and private property is sacred and inviolable. As long as the Dutton family can afford to pay the property tax, no one has the right to touch their land. Not even the U.S. government.
Although the current governor has received campaign funds from the Dutton family, he is also actively promoting the division of the Dutton family's land.
To be honest, this force is the most moderate. Even if they sue, they have no intention of taking their land for free. They are willing to pay and pay according to the market price. Even if it is slightly more, it is no problem and we can negotiate.
The government is even willing to give some concessions.
But the problem is that old Dutton is too stubborn. Maybe the older generation has this kind of virtue, like the old mule Earl. He is stubborn to death. Before old Dutton's father died, the only thing he told old Dutton was,
They must keep their family's land and not allow anyone to take away any of it.
Old Dutton has been adhering to this view for so many years. He can only buy land. As for selling land? Impossible!
After that, a real estate developer was eyeing the Dutton family. The land owned by the Dutton family was basically pasture farms, and there was no commercial development at all. This made many real estate developers drool when they saw so much high-quality land, so many real estate developers have always wanted to deal with it.
The Dutton family.
Finally, there is Chief Thomas. Needless to say more about this.
Therefore, in order to protect the family, Beth has always played the role of a fighting dog, and will bite any miscreants she sees.
She was also wary of Kai. He knew too much. If he wanted something from the Dutton family, it would be difficult to just let him go. That's why she made such a high-profile and rude appearance today. At first, she just wanted to
I want to give Kai a chance.
Unexpectedly, Kai was even more straightforward, and no one else wanted to ask the Dutton family for anything.
But this made Beth full of interest in Kai. The current situation of the Dutton family is not good, it can even be said to be very bad. In their generation, the Dutton family has a total of four children. The eldest son is the most concerned about the ranch and is a good person.
He is kind and enthusiastic, and many people like him. He also likes the job of cowboy. Except that his ability is not outstanding, he is definitely the best successor. Although the successor that Old Dutton is most looking forward to is his younger son, if the younger son really
If you are unwilling to inherit the family business, it is not unacceptable to let your eldest son inherit it.
After all, the elder Dutton has a second son and a daughter. Although the second son of the Dutton family has a relatively weak personality, he is a good expert in law. He cannot inherit the family business, but he has no problem helping the family as a legal advisor. As for the daughter,
That is to say, Beth is the person with the strongest ability and personality in the family. If possible, she is actually the best choice for heir. Old Dutton has no intention of favoring sons over daughters. Unfortunately, there is one fatal thing about her, that is
She hates ranch life and is even afraid of horses. She has no interest in the Dutton family's land at all, and she has her own career.
But she is a person who puts her family first. Although she doesn't like the Dutton family's career, she is willing to do anything to protect her family.
Originally, the elder Dutton thought that even if his younger son rebelled, with the remaining three children, the Dutton family would not be in decline.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened and his eldest son died!
The issue of the heir has not yet been resolved, and old Dutton himself has problems. He has intestinal cancer, and it is in the late stage... Suddenly, the entire Dutton family is in turmoil.
So the Dutton family must win over some people to support them.
The blow to the Dutton family by Okaro's betrayal was not as light as it seemed. In their own territory, their own direct descendants betrayed them. How embarrassing it was. More importantly, their enemies discovered their family.
of fragility.
So Beth wants Kay to replace Okaro as the Sheriff of Windham City.
…
Kay was not interested in this woman's proposal. He knew why Okaro betrayed the Dutton family. Kay had no desire for power, but he never thought about being a puppet. What would happen to the Dutton family in the future, Kay didn't care.
But this woman is very awkward. The more you reject her, the more she appreciates you.
Fortunately, the others were from a big family, so there was no reason to go out of their way to please Kai. Although she wanted Kai to join their family, she also knew that some things should not be too direct, so she invited Kai to go to the Darlington Hospital in Wyndham City when he had time.
First, Dutton wanted to thank him in person. Secondly, Dutton wanted to talk to Kai about the donation.
Kai didn't mind thanking him in person, but he couldn't refuse the donation.
Beth told Kay that Dutton's donation was divided into two parts. The first was a direct donation to the Jiade Town Police Department. This part was not much, only six million US dollars, which was the same price as the 227 kilograms of laundry. This time Kay
The tip-off allowed Old Dutton to not only eliminate a second-rate kid, but also severely hit his opponent. Six million is not expensive. Their family is rich, and the land alone is worth more than 14 billion U.S. dollars, not to mention other industries.
Although six million is a lot, it is not something that Kai can't refuse. What really makes Kai can't refuse is the second part. When the Cerberus broke out, didn't the farms around Garter Town suffer heavy losses? Old Dutton was willing to pay for those farms.
provide help.
Free!
Running a farm in the United States is not just about cultivating land and raising animals. They have a set of scientific management methods that keep pace with the times and are often updated. But this all costs money, such as new agricultural machinery, which can be quickly and efficiently
Accurate disaster prevention, various international market information, etc. Ordinary small farms simply cannot afford it.
But Old Dutton is willing to provide the best help to these farms, and it is free of charge. He can even provide livestock without interest and buy them back. In short, there are many discounts.
These things don't cost the Dutton family a few bucks, and they can even make some money. But they are also great news for the farmers around Jiade Town.
How could Kai refuse?
So we could only arrange a time to visit, but just when the two stood up and shook hands to say goodbye, Kai suddenly felt a heart palpitation for no reason! It seemed like something bad had happened.
Without any time to think, Kai threw Beth to the ground.
Snapped!
There was a soft sound, and a small hole suddenly broke in the window of Kai's office. A bullet shot through the window and through the door of his office!
"ah!!!"
A scream sounded from outside the door, it was a police officer from the police station!
This time the whole police station was in chaos, it was a shooting!
Soon Sage and Portman were rushing outside Kay's office.
"Head!! Are you okay?!" Saji shouted, planning to kick in the door and go in.
But Kai stopped him immediately.
"Don't come in, it's a sniper rifle! There is a sniper aiming at my office!"
Based on Kai's experience, it is not difficult to tell what happened to the bullet just now. There was a bullet but there was no sound of gunfire, and the angle of the bullet was very large, so it must have been fired from a very far away place. The police station was temporarily converted into a lumberyard.
, there are no buildings around at all, and Kai’s window faces the mountain behind!
"There are snipers hiding in the back hill! Don't come in!"
As soon as Portman heard this, he immediately turned around to find his sniper rifle, not to fight back, but to find the enemy's shooting position first.
As soon as the others heard this, they immediately got up and ran out of the police station. This was not because they were unloyal, but on the contrary, it was the most correct approach. The enemy was obviously targeting the police station, and it was also a sniper rifle. They were just policemen, not
Rambo, if you let them fight with a sniper rifle without knowing the situation clearly, that's just seeking death.
This is what Kai has taught them. When dealing with some tough bandits, they still focus on protecting themselves.
At the same time, Kai is also actively trying to save himself.
"Saji! Find me a gas mask!"
"Understood!" Years of cooperation have given them an incomparable understanding. As soon as Kai spoke, Saji understood what Kai planned to do.
Soon Saji brought two smoke bombs and two gas masks. Saji carefully leaned against the door and opened the office door.
Snapped!
A bullet hit Saji's hand!
The enemy has been staring at this place! Kai had been lying on the ground before, blocked by windows and desks, causing the opponent to temporarily lose sight, but the man still did not relax at all.
Saji shook his hand, and the bullet just now almost hit him. But Saji had another way, he got a football from the desk nearby.
Then he threw the football in.
Sure enough, there was a gunshot and a bullet hit the football.
Also taking this opportunity, Saji threw in the gas mask and smoke bomb.
Kai got in front of the gas guard, and when he looked back, Beth was already frightened. Kai patted her cheek: "Don't worry, it'll be okay, I'm here!"
After a few moments, Beth came back to her senses. Although she often fought with others and had a strong personality, she had never experienced this. She could only look at Kai stupidly.
Kai didn't have time to comfort her. He pressed the gas mask on her face. Then he said: "After a while, I will pull out the smoke bomb. When I say run, you run out immediately! Remember, you must bend your body.
, don’t stand up, as soon as you go out, run to the side! Then hide in the corner! Did you hear me?”
Kai said loudly. Seeing that she was starting to be a little confused, he immediately gave her a mouthful.
"Do you understand?!!"
This time he was completely awakened, and he nodded immediately.
"Okay, wait for my password!"
While Kai put on a gas mask, he put his hand on Beth's waist. This was not to take advantage of her, but to help her escape faster when the time came.
"Get ready!" Kayla pulled off the smoke bomb. The smoke spread instantly.
Beth was so nervous that she almost rushed out without waiting for Kai's command, but luckily Kai held her down.
When the room was filled with smoke, Kai silently counted to seven and spoke immediately.
"Run!" Kai whipped Beth up and let her run ahead, while he blocked her behind.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of three consecutive bullets breaking through the window came, and the three bullets were all pointed at the door. Although the sniper lost his vision, he also knew that if they wanted to escape, they must pass through the door. His prediction was correct.
, the only thing I could have miscalculated is the timing.
All three bullets missed, and Kai was fast enough to dodge the bullets. But there was nothing we could do about it. No matter how good the snipers outside were, they couldn't figure out why Kai ran away, right?
