Chapter 33 Excuses
Only this time, with the previous two interruptions, he couldn't sleep well anyway, and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

Awakened by the sound of knocking on the car window at six o'clock in the morning, Chi Heng opened his eyes and found that it was Black Sheriff Badman.

"Oh, my little friend, I still wonder where you went last night, so you slept here."

Chi Heng rolled down the car window, and Badman handed him a cup of hot coffee: "Choose to run away after only drinking a little wine, this is not the courage of a man, let's not be an example."

Chi Heng took the coffee with a wry smile, next time he won't foolishly follow them to drink.

"Did anything happen to you last night?"

Badman leaned against the car, sipping his coffee while asking Chi Heng.

"what's up?"

Chi Heng didn't understand.

"Last night... Well, at four o'clock in the morning this morning, Thompson called the police and found three unlucky guys outside his shop, two of them were alcoholics and almost went into shock, and the other was Martinez's son, He was found unconscious under the corner of the wall with a strong impact injury to the head."

Badman said: "Martinez is a very strong person, but he is also very capable. He is the mayor of our town. He will not let it go. He must find the murderer who hurt his son."

Badman was talking casually, while Chi Heng was quite speechless. He never thought that the high school bully was actually the mayor's son. Could it be that the mayor's son became a thief?It seems that it is not for money, but for the pursuit of excitement, and the crime is carried out to the end!
From this point of view, he must not be exposed, otherwise he will definitely be targeted, an obvious thing.

"Sheriff, I don't know," Chi Heng shook his head, "I was resting here last night."

Badman nodded slightly: "Although Martinez is very capable and a good mayor, his son is a school bastard. This time his son was injured. This is God's punishment."

Even the sheriff, do you know that high school bully is bullying on campus?Or is it that many adults know about it, but no one cares?

Chi Heng was quite speechless. If he were the parent, he would have to break this kid's leg.

"Sheriff, I didn't rest well last night. I want to go back and rest today."

"and many more."

Badman stopped Chi Heng, "Justo, you haven't told me what you plan to do in the future?"

"?"

Seeing Chi Heng looking at him puzzled, Badman said: "Your uncle may have left you a little inheritance, but it should not be much. If you choose to live here, you must find a job."

Chi Heng now understood that Sergeant Badman wanted to help introduce the job to him because of the old uncle's face.

Sure enough, Sergeant Badman continued: "There are currently only three people in the police station. I can propose to add another auxiliary person at the next city meeting. Don't worry, it's not the police, but the logistics personnel. I think you can do this job." Work."

Chi Heng was very touched. Although the discrimination against black people in the United States is quite serious, to be honest, white people not only discriminate against black people, but also discriminate against other races. Discrimination, but in fact, black people seem to be synonymous with bad people.

But at least the few blacks that Chi Heng has come into contact with are quite good people, especially Sergeant Badman. He has a certain understanding that the middle-class blacks who have no worries about food and clothing are more friendly than the middle-class whites too much.The reason why black people have become synonymous with "evil" is because some forces intentionally do it. This is not a matter of racial discrimination, but a more acute and deeper reason.

Having said that, if Chi Heng hadn't discovered the "Gate of Moros" and the "Absolute Boundary" opposite, he might have agreed to it. However, after he discovered the "Absolute Boundary", he would definitely not agree to such a waste of time. .

So Chi Heng thanked and said: "Sorry, Chief, I am not qualified for this job, actually... I am writing a best-selling book about mistakes and betrayals in human history..."

He eloquently spit out a long section of professional terminology, which confused the black sheriff.

This is the line that Chi Heng had prepared long ago, just to prevent this from happening.

What does it look like to be alone without a job and living alone in a haunted area far from town?Just like the old uncle back then, he can only become a freak in the eyes of the residents here.

It doesn't matter to be a freak, and Chi Heng doesn't care much about other people's perceptions, but once he gets this impression, he will definitely be considered a bully by some people and cause trouble. This is Chi Heng's important experience of living in the United States for seven years.

So to minimize this cognition, you need an excuse that can silence other people's mouths and doubts... A best-selling historical author, this excuse is quite good.The author originally had some quirks, such as the horror novel author Stephen King. As a best-selling author of horror novels, he has many quirks that ordinary people cannot understand. good talk.

"alright, I got it."

The black sheriff interrupted Chi Heng's eloquence, "Now I know why you inherited your uncle's old house and chose to live there, yes, Lake Shea is indeed a good place, very suitable for your work But remember, don't swim in the lake."

This is the second person warning him like this, oh, no, plus the old uncle's notes, it is the third person.

After bidding farewell to the black sheriff, Chi Heng drove away and went to a fast food restaurant to buy a breakfast. Perhaps because of the carnival last night, the clerks were all working with dark circles under their eyes.

Immediately, when the gate of the supermarket opened, he went in to buy thin nylon drawstrings. This kind of thin drawstrings are very versatile and are sold in American supermarkets, but his purchases were too much, and he almost exhausted the supermarket's inventory. Evacuate.

The white aunt at the cashier already knew Chi Heng, looked down at the many thin drawstring packing boxes on the side, and asked, "Why do you buy so many?"

"Some use."

Chi Heng really felt that it would be troublesome to buy too much. A roll of thin nylon drawstring is 1000 yards long, about 914 meters. He bought a whole 20 rolls and emptied the supermarket's inventory. Normal people really don't buy so many thin drawstrings. of.

Anyway, Chi Heng wants to buy it, and the cashier aunt has absolutely no intention of stopping it, but Chi Heng feels that in the future, the manufacturer will order it, so go to the capital to get it by yourself.

"New day, new month."

On the way back, Chi Heng was still in a happy mood, "By the way, there seems to be a deserted amusement park over there."

On the right side of the road, a deserted Ferris wheel can be seen in the forest from a distance, and I don't know how long it has been deserted.

Chi Heng didn't care, and continued to drive forward, and quickly drove down the small road on the left. After a while, it became a familiar bad road, bumped and bumped, and drove back to the old house next to Lake Shea and stopped.
