Chapter 1309 The Truth Is in the Hands of a Few
"I've heard people say that this small shop has a long history since it was founded in 1958.
It has gone through many major revolutions in history.
After the black civil rights leader Dr. King En was assassinated, riots broke out in many big cities in the United States, and Washington was naturally one of the cities that rioted.
At that time, there was a curfew in the DC area, but Ben's Hot Dog still got a license to stay open during the night of the curfew.
At that time, whether it was the JC firefighters who maintained the system or the pro-democracy activists who participated in the street riots, they would come here to eat after a busy day. Only in this restaurant can everyone peacefully coexist for a short time.
However, when they are full and strong, they will continue to fight on the streets outside.
It is precisely because of this legendary history that this restaurant has an absolute special status in the American catering industry, and now it has become one of the important landmarks in Washington DC.
There is a legend on Capitol Hill that if there is an issue that cannot be reached, then come here for a meal, no matter what the problem is, it can be resolved. Doesn’t it sound amazing? "
After Cary finished speaking, Yang Cheng smiled, "It's a bit of a myth. Putting aside these external factors, the taste is just the same. If you come here with full expectations, you will be easily disappointed and even feel ordinary, but if you are tired from work If you accidentally enter this store, surprises are waiting for you."
"That's right, I think so too, but everyone says yes, if I say no, I will appear to be a maverick and be considered out of group, so as time goes by, I can't hear a word about this company. Bad word about the store."
Yang Cheng shrugged slightly, "The truth is always in the hands of a few."
They clapped their hands, the evaluation was average, and the food on the tray was finished. Before leaving, Yang Cheng ordered a bodyguard to stay and pack a few portions to take away. When she came out, she had to let Zhao Anqi also taste the food in Washington feature.
Outside the store, Cary suddenly mentioned the purpose of Yang Cheng's trip, "About Collins~"
He made a long sound, whetted Yang Cheng's appetite, and then said, "I can definitely say that he is hopeless."
Yang Cheng nodded, "I know, there is almost no possibility of overturning the case after entering f~b~i, and I don't care whether he lives or dies."
Seeing passers-by approaching, Kari shut up temporarily, and after the person passed by, he exhaled and said, "I talked to him a few times alone, as you said, there should be a big secret in his mind, and more than that. One, but he showed no fear, even dismissive of my methods."
Yang Cheng understood that what Kari said was the use of torture.
"Such a tough mouth?" He didn't believe it.
Cary shook his head, "No, before the case was settled, he was still a member of parliament, and he used extreme measures against them privately. Once discovered, I'm afraid I will not end well."
After a pause, "Of course, I have a lot of methods that won't cause obvious harm, but there are too many people, and it is impossible for me to hide from everyone in the bureau and use secret criminal law against him.
Therefore, after he survived a few relatively mild punishments, he became unscrupulous.
Even a few times, he even brazenly asked me to let him go, and he would repay me. "
He sneered and said, "This idiot, who thinks he's in trouble, still has the mood to bargain, let him go? Unless the earth is destroyed."
Yang Cheng listened quietly, her face was neither sad nor happy, she looked very calm, and said with a faint smile, "He is provoking you."
Cary sighed, "Yes, I only figured it out later, then the purpose of his behavior is to cover up the big secret."
"Well~ people have a strong purpose, he can't ask for death for no reason, you guessed it right,
But what is that secret? "
Yang Cheng's eyes could not help but drift to the street when he came, and the Fairfax Hotel was also in the same direction.
Kari scratched his hair, and straightened out the scratched hairstyle a little bit, "The reason why Collins was arrested this time was driven by sec behind the scenes."
Yang Cheng learned the news from his father, and when Cary mentioned it again, he pretended to hear it for the first time, slightly surprised, "sec?"
"Yes, sec, they found out that Collins exchanged inside information with listed companies for profit."
"Is it a company under the Zhao family?"
Cary hesitated, "The Zhao family is just one of them, and it also involves an energy company in Newfoundland."
Yang Cheng was surprised again, this time it wasn't an act, and there was no similar news from Dad, "An energy company in Newfoundland?"
Cary thought that Yang Cheng didn't know about Newfoundland, so he specially explained, "Yes, Newfoundland in Canada is the famous fishing ground."
Yang Cheng pressed his hand, "I know where it is, I mean how could Collins deal with a company in Newfoundland?"
Kari spread his hands, "I don't know either. The sec is responsible for the specific content of the interrogation. In fact, after we bring the person back, more than half of the task is completed."
Yang Cheng frowned, "Do you know the name?"
Cary thought for a long time, "It seems to be called Novotel, sorry, I don't remember clearly, but it should be a company mainly engaged in offshore crude oil exploration and production, oh yes, it has a deep relationship with Canada's Husky Energy cooperate."
Husky? There is no second energy company named Husky in Canada, and it should be the one controlled by Li Chaoren.
md, there won't be the participation of the Li family here, right? Yang Cheng's whim almost scared herself.
As for whether the Zhao family and the Li family knew each other, he had no doubts, but did the two have in-depth cooperation? He's never been mentioned.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Seeing the working hours, Yang Cheng couldn't force him to stay, and said solemnly to Cary, "Remember the promise I made to you last time, not for me, but for yourself, and continue to find a way to get out of Collins. Secrets in the stomach."
Cary gritted his teeth, "Understood, I will try my best!"
Watching his back running away, Yang Cheng exhaled, got in the car and went back to the hotel.
Before entering the house, he took the hot dog set packaged by the bodyguard, swiped his card and walked in.
It's almost 8 o'clock, and I don't know if Zhao Anqi has any plans for today, so she hesitated for a moment, opened the lunch box and put it on the dining table, opened the door and entered the bedroom, feeling tired, and dragged Zhao Anqi down from the bedroom.
Wearing silk pajamas, sitting lazily at the dining table, while enjoying the breakfast bought by his lover, he asked, "Is the meeting a success?"
When she was taking a walk last night, she already guessed who Yang Cheng was going to see, and now she deliberately asked, mostly as a joke.
Yang Cheng was not embarrassed either, swallowed the French fries that Zhao Anqi fed, nodded and said, "It's okay, I have some bad news for you, Collins' case will basically be over."
Zhao Anqi frowned slightly, "What did Cary say?"
Yang Cheng pursed her lips and nodded vigorously, "Kari is more cautious, he will not jump to judgment."
Zhao Anqi lost her appetite in an instant, put down the half-eaten hot dog, wiped the sauce on her hands with a napkin, and said while holding her chin, "f~b~i has no right to judge, this case will eventually be handed over to the prosecutor Office, I'm sure Jesse wouldn't joke about his future."
Yang Cheng was a little thirsty, picked up the Coke cup that Zhao Anqi drank a few sips, and drank it naturally with the same straw, "Jessie? I don't understand, at least from the performance of last night, she is not worth it. Big bet."
Glancing at Yang Cheng resentfully, "Can I not bet on her? I want to ask you for help, but you are too cold-hearted, you won't help me?"
"Ahem~" He almost became the first person in history to choke to death on Coke.
He laughed and said, "Don't say that, if it's your own business, I'm willing to define it, and I have to do it for you, but what qualifications do I have to participate in your family's business?"
This answer is not bad, it can be scored 80 points, Zhao Anqi burst out laughing, "Okay, spare your life."
"By the way, did Cary say anything else?"
Yang Cheng was startled, "For example?"
"I mean did Collins talk nonsense?"
Yang Cheng snorted, "Probably not, if there is, Kali will notify me as soon as possible."
Zhao Anqi didn't say anything, and continued to pick up the hot dog and eat it, "If it really doesn't work..."
An inexplicable sentence drew Yang Cheng's heart, "It's not possible, we haven't reached that point yet, unless Collins endangers your family's core interests, otherwise, if you fail, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Zhao Anqi smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm just saying it casually, I'm not so impulsive yet."
Yang Cheng expressed doubts about this, but didn't bother to argue.
"Is there any plan for today? If not, go back to New York?"
Zhao Anqi glanced coquettishly, "Going back in such a hurry?"
Yang Cheng touched her nose, "Not really, the main reason is that Washington is too depressing and not suitable for me."
"Cut, it's all an excuse." She complained like a little girl, and then said, "Although I don't have a specific plan, why don't you stay one more day? Come back tomorrow?"
Everyone said so, if Yang Cheng insisted on going back today, it would be too much, "Okay, where should we go for a walk? We can't stay in the hotel, right? The weather is very good today."
"Well, how about going to Baltimore?" Zhao Anqi rolled her eyes and stretched her neck playfully.
Yang Cheng was puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Baltimore?"
Baltimore is the largest city in Maryland and one of the most legendary cities in the United States. It is less than 60 kilometers away from the capital [0000ks] Washington DC.
The key question is what is there to see in Baltimore? Go to see the black bang fire? Or to deliver the head to the robber? Or go to Baltimore, which is comparable to New York's Hell's Kitchen, to experience the customs and customs of the worst law and order area in the United States?
Baltimore, a place where DìDū gave up, Yang Cheng really couldn't imagine, what is the connection between the little princess of the Zhao family and Baltimore, why would she go there on a whim?
But apparently, Yang Cheng's understanding of Zhao Anqi was far from deep enough, and she showed that mysterious smile again and said, "You'll know when you go~"
mmp, why do these words sound so familiar?
