American Entertainment 1982

Investigator Butch Younger of the Pinkerton Office licked his dry lips while flipping through a stack of Lotus employee information that his colleagues had given him.

If the detective industry also has the special title of white shoes, which represents the elite, then there are probably only two firms in the entire United States that are eligible to receive it.

One of them is the Pinkerton firm, founded in 1850, known as the "American Private Investigation Bureau".

Thanks to the fact that Pinkerton has always stood firmly on the side of the government and capitalists since the day it was established, and their business has been booming for more than 100 years.

The most important job is to help the government destroy all kinds of rallies and demonstrations that people try to criticize the government. For example, in the Black Panther Party incident, the assassination of the American West Absenteeism Federation, the Colorado Labor War, the Blair Mountain Labor Uprising and many other strikes or demonstrations, accept Hired by the government or capitalists, they serve as labor spies who break into the trade unions, provoke internal strife in the trade unions, disrupt various strikes initiated by workers, and even act as saboteurs, thugs, and assassins at critical moments.

From 1865 to 1931, the Pinkerton firm even had a private police force in Pennsylvania, responsible for helping the major coal mining companies in Pennsylvania to suppress or kill any workers who dared to feel dissatisfied.

"I really envy my colleagues from a hundred years ago. Even the judges have to flatter them. Whoever they say is a criminal is obediently hanged by the court." Butch said boringly while looking at the information: "Rookie, you chose the wrong job. Today's Pinkerton is no longer as beautiful as it was a hundred years ago. Now we can't even call ourselves detectives, but call ourselves investigators."

"I think this guy is most likely willing to cooperate with us." Butch roughly flipped through it, then picked out a document and read it for two minutes, then threw it in front of his rookie companion.

"Bobby Black?" The companion picked up the document and looked it over, his face full of bewilderment.

This information shows that this guy is of half Vietnamese descent. He graduated from Northeastern University in Massachusetts with a degree in electrical engineering. After graduation, he joined Lotus and worked in the company. He was only responsible for some simple tasks. Distinguishing features of self-focus.

"I don't quite understand. What made you think he would be willing to help us, Mr. Young?" Butch's companion, a rookie who had just obtained a PI (Private Investigator) license, asked curiously.

Although Pinkerton has an office in Boston, Butch Younger is a person specially summoned by Delia Kate from the Pinkerton headquarters in Michigan. After learning that Butch is coming, the local office is the first It's time to send him, the best newcomer in the office, to help Butch as an assistant, hoping that he can learn a few tricks from this golden detective.

If you only look at the image of this old guy, you will never think that this guy's hourly salary is as high as 200 yuan an hour, which is the same as the hourly salary of those well-known lawyers, while other investigators in Pinkerton's Boston office are only paid 50 yuan an hour piece.

"This little Vietnamese bastard, whose address is written in the Vietnamese community, look at the half-yellow and half-black mixed-race appearance in his photo, you know that her mother must have given him the name Blake, and he must have A black soldier whose whereabouts are unknown is his father, maybe because of his ugly appearance, her mother was able to get a visa to live in the United States at the mercy of the American embassy when he was ten years old." Butch ordered a Cigarette, continued:

"He went to Northeastern University, but he didn't get a full scholarship, which means that her mother's small business in the United States should be good. I don't believe that she can turn herself, a Vietnamese refugee, into a private university for her son in eight years. The middle class in the United States, either participate in smuggling, or provide help to stowaways. As long as you investigate carefully, you will be able to find clues. Once you find it, it will be much easier. Tell this idiot, or we will give the information to the FBI and your mother Send it to prison, or you are now on the side of justice and help us get rid of your boss."

The rookie froze for a moment, then asked, "Is this how you work?"

"This is the working method that Pinkerton has always insisted on since its establishment 143 years ago, to ensure that the target object has the right to choose independently." Butch said indifferently: "You have to pinch those people's eggs before they are willing to sink." I will listen to your request."

The rookie shrugged. "Okay, what do we do to pinch this Bobby Black? Find an Asian face to infiltrate the Vietnamese community?"

"No." Butch looked at the rookie and pointed to himself: "I will go by myself, I will rent a room in that community, from now on, I am a Vietnam veteran who is looking for his lover or children who may be alive, this The identity of the veteran looking for relatives can make the Vietnamese guys there agree with me, and then collect information about Bobby’s mother from them, and finally visit her at home, as long as she makes a wrong sentence, it is enough to send myself in.”

"But... are you sure you can deal with the Vietnamese?" The companion looked at Butch and asked worriedly.

This guy is full of racism. If he goes to the Vietnamese community, he might be easily beaten to death by the Vietnamese that day.

"Of course, I participated in the Vietnam War in 1965. I am a genuine veteran of the Vietnam War. I know how to deal with Vietnamese women, but I don't want to look for relatives. If I want to look for them, at least a dozen Vietnamese women have given birth to me, but who His mother is willing to have a bunch of illegitimate illegitimate children to share his poor wealth?" Butch stubbed out his cigarette butt, and grinned cruelly at the rookie:

"What happened in Vietnam ended in Vietnam. We helped Vietnam increase the birth rate. Not only did they not appreciate us, but these damn Vietnamese women came to the United States with their children. They didn't love their motherland at all, and they didn't love their motherland. To get punished, we did the right thing, which was to pry open Bobby Black's mouth, as long as the first guy's mouth was pried open, we'll pry open as many mouths as there are."

...

"Our investigator obtained Jim Manz's itinerary, which showed that Jim Manz had flown to California to attend a certain software exhibition and stayed for two days." Delia sat at the coffee in the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco. In the hall, he handed a document in his hand to Tommy Hawke: "Normal business practices."

Tommy Hawke handed the information to Susan Curtis next to him: "Susan, give the photo of this guy to the senior girls of the entertainment company to see if there is any news about this guy looking for sex, if not, Just pick a few girls who like to perjure and have a strong mouth to pour dirty water on him, in short, I hope the court sees the information that Actor helps prostitutes rehabilitate and reintegrate into society, while the president of Lotus company tramples on women's dignity."

"Okay." Susan accepted the documents and agreed, then smiled at Delia, got up and left.

Delia looked at Susan's leaving figure and said, "Of your four companions, only she and the one named Jason fully believe in you, and the other two have been shaken."

"I know, don't worry, they won't waver now." Tommy picked up his coffee and took a sip: "Is there any other news from Lotus?"

"Soft Arts gave testimony against Lotus. After all, Lotus robbed them of their business back then. Of course they don't want to waste the opportunity to make things worse at this time. Moreover, Mitch Kapoor accidentally, in front of me, Saying that he once exchanged computer technology with his friend who was a development engineer in Soft Arts, in my eyes, this sentence is equivalent to Mitch Kapoor exploring the commercial secrets of Soft Arts. If they want to refute, they need to prove the workload It will be amazing." Delia said calmly while observing Tommy.

Noticing Delia's gaze, Tommy responded with a smile: "How are Mitch Kapoor and Jonathan doing?"

"Maybe it's not very good, after all, whoever it is, wakes up every morning, there are a dozen cheap prostitutes holding signs outside the house, go to the company, there are more than a dozen cheap prostitutes holding signs outside the company, feeling They are not very good. The two nerds are scolded all day long for taking jobs with prostitutes. The investigator said that these two guys have already started contacting the psychologist and plan to have psychological counseling twice a week. The investigator will find a way to get them and the psychologist. The doctor's dialogue." Delia thought for a while, and said to Tommy:

"Speaking of which, the two founders of Lotus are far inferior in psychological quality to the professional manager Jim Manzi."

Tommy nodded in satisfaction: "Go ahead and increase the intensity until what they need is no longer a psychiatrist, but a psychiatrist to convince them that they are stealing the jobs of prostitutes and doing the wrong thing."

"Back to the question you briefly skipped just now, Mr. Tommy Hawk." Delia stared into Tommy's eyes: "I don't know what method you used, but you told me with certainty in your tone that your heart was shaken. My companion, now firm again, makes me feel that I was not very friendly when I first met you."

"Lawyer Keith, can we talk about business? I don't think there is any problem with meeting for the first time. Of course I am very excited." Tommy said with a blank face: "Let's continue talking about work, shall we?"

"No." Delia took out her handbag, took out a check from it, and pushed it in front of Tommy: "The investigators' fees need to be paid normally, but my commission can be returned to you. Of course, the judgment belongs to me." .”

Tommy showed a harmless and surprised expression: "What are you talking about? Lawyer Keith? You deserve it. I'm not stingy. Whether it's the case or the money, you deserve it."

"You are a man of means, Tommy. I am a little worried about your means of controlling your companions. The only thing I can guess is that they have all taken your money, which means that taking your money requires a lot of money." The price is very high, and obviously, the way I cooperated at the beginning was a bit sloppy, because I despised you at the time, and chose to want everything from legal precedent and money. When we first met, I regarded you as a college student, but now, I treat you Be a mature man of the same age as me." Delia said to Tommy with a smile on her face:

"I hope it's not too late for my discovery."

Tommy still looked at Delia with a puzzled face, trying to convince the other party that he was a simple college student, but Delia shook her head slightly: "Stop pretending, Tommy, lawyers need to be proficient in psychology. I'm determined to notice you, no matter how superb your acting skills are, you can't hide it from me."

"Huh~" Tommy sighed, looked down at the check, and pushed it to Delia again: "Since when did you notice it?"

Delia took out the cigarette and put it in her mouth skillfully: "After I thoroughly understood the information of Actor Company and discovered your methods from beginning to end, and then I exchanged information with Sophia on a daily basis, the other party's reaction was also a bit strange, so, and As I guessed, replace me, destroy me, and find another class of lawyers who don't charge money?"

"I'm sorry, it's too late, Lawyer Case." Seeing the other party's appearance, Tommy simply put away his expression, and looked at Delia calmly: "I did change your mind, you didn't do it Not good enough, but I need another class of free lawyers to do another thing for me."

Delia laughed: "It's really hard to imagine. You are just a college student. If I want to avoid being replaced by you and ensure that I participate in this trial case throughout, do I need to pay to help you work?"

"Ms. Keith, I really like your vigorous and decisive work attitude. Of course, I also hope that you will accompany me to stand in court to complete all this, but I have already promised the other party, and a man must keep his word." Tommy took out The lighter, with the flame on, handed it over to help Delia light the cigarette in her mouth and said:

"Or, if you insist on staying and participating in it, then you need to be sold by me once, and you can continue to keep that check as income from selling yourself."

After a few seconds of silence, Delia said, "You want to sell me to Stanford Law School and serve as a guest lecturer at the Law School. How many classes will you teach each semester?"

"Did you turn your head so fast when you weren't arrogant?" Tommy lowered his head depressedly, picked up the coffee and stirred it: "Can you get back to the way you look in your office, just slightly raised your pointed chin , looking at me?"

Delia raised her chin slightly, raised her left leg, smiled at Tommy and said, "Is that so?"

Tommy smiled and nodded: "That's right, Stanford University will be happy to serve as a visiting professor at Stanford Law School under your name, and then you can continue to serve as the lead lawyer in this case, and those lawyers from Stanford will not complain , everyone is happy."

"So I can still accept this check, after all, it is now my selling money? And you helped Stanford University find an unpaid visiting professor of law... Shit... What I just said is also in your calculations Now." Just as the smile appeared on Delia's face, her pupils shrank slightly and she stared at Tommy Hawke:

"You know that I'm not an idiot. Sooner or later, I will discover your abilities and methods, and then I will talk about it with you openly, so you have been waiting for me for a long time, and I am willing to be sold by you."

Tommy rolled his eyes pretending to be puzzled, and stretched out his hand to Delia: "The money belongs to you, but the people belong to me. So, are you happy with the cooperation?"

Delia looked at Tommy, suddenly laughed, and held Tommy's hand together: "Of course."

"Welcome to Stanford." Tommy squeezed Delia's palm slightly, then let go, and said with open arms, "We are a family now."
