Chapter 139 San Francisco-Chinatown

Since it was Luo Su's first time to come to the San Francisco Police Department, after Kanalis got off the truck, he also got out of Mobley's pickup truck, and followed Kanalis into the San Francisco Police Station. .

"Hey, Canalis, why are you back?"

At the entrance of the San Francisco Police Station, before Kanalis could approach, a female police officer came over and said to Kanalis with a smile.

‘Really from the San Francisco Police Department? ’

Seeing this, Luo Su, who was following Kanalis, also wondered whether he had been too paranoid before. From the current situation, it seems that Canalis was really from the San Francisco Police Department.

But since Luo Su had already arrived in San Francisco from Los Angeles, he certainly couldn't give up his investigation just because of this incident. Even though he was here, Luo Su certainly couldn't make the trip in vain.

"Who is this?" Luo Su, who followed Canalis, came to the two of them and looked at the policewoman in San Francisco and asked.

"Jenny, my former partner in San Francisco." Canalis grabbed the policewoman named Jenny with her hand and introduced to Luo Su.

When Kanalis was talking, Luo Su also focused on the other policeman's uniform. It's the same as what Canalis said, but the word 'Jenny' is written on it.

"Jenny, nice to meet you. You guys talk first, and I'll see for myself."

As Luo Su said this, he was about to walk to other parts of the police station, preparing to investigate on the spot himself.

But just as Luo Su was walking forward, Jenny called out to him, "Hey, sir, you can't go in."

"Huh? Can't you go in?"

After confirming with the other party again, Luo Sucai nodded slightly and said: "I understand, let's talk first. I also have some things to do in San Francisco. Call me when your things are settled."

After finishing speaking, Luo Su didn't pause at all, turned around and walked towards the outside of the San Francisco Police Station.

When Luo Su gradually left, the policewoman named Jenny looked at the strange man's back and frowned: "Why did you let him in?"

There seemed to be some nervousness in the words of policewoman Jenny. If Luo Su saw something today, their mission would be over.

Fortunately, Luo Su was not too determined to enter the San Francisco Police Department. In this way, Canalis' identity could be maintained for a while.

"Let's go, the boss wants to talk to you."

After the false alarm, Jenny still took Canalis and walked into the interior of San Francisco, leaving only some confused police officers at the gate of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"What did those people do just now?"

"I don't know. He's wearing our police uniform, so he must have just arrived. I think the deputy chief has seen one of them this morning, so he's not an outsider anyway."

Outside the Los Angeles Police Department, Luo Su, who had already dismissed his suspicions, turned back to look at Canalis and others who were gradually disappearing at the police station door, and suddenly felt that he still needed to investigate Canalis. .

Thinking of this, Luo Su didn't hesitate at all. After returning to Mobley's pickup truck, he started the car and headed towards the neighborhood he was familiar with.

The goal of Luo Su's trip was Chinatown in San Francisco.

San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the western United States and is comparable to New York's Chinatown.

The intersection of Duban Street and California Street is the center of Chinatown. It includes Bush Street, Powell Street, Broadway Street, and Kearny Street, which is a very large area.

There are approximately 100,000 Chinese living here. Everything written and heard here is in Chinese, and everything seen here is very traditional Chinese. It feels like a small Chinese country.

When Luo Su returned to Chinatown, opened the car door and walked out, all he saw were familiar things.

"Huh, it's still the same as before."

After complaining again, Luo Su raised his legs and walked to a nearby Cantonese tea restaurant. If nothing else, his cousin Luo Hongwen's family is the owner of this tea restaurant.

"Welcome, what do you want to eat?"

Perhaps because he was far away from the hotel, Luo Su didn't see too many people when he walked into the tea restaurant. A waitress in the lobby also had time to welcome him as a guest.

"A plate of dumplings."

In the memory of Luo Su's body, his cousin's dumplings should be the most delicious and the most famous dish on this street.

"A dumpling!" After receiving Luo Su's order, the waitress shouted in the direction of the kitchen. This energetic performance really surprised Luo Su.

From the appearance point of view, this waitress is still very slender. With such a figure, and being able to shout with such a voice, it can only be said that her body is actually pretty good.

"By the way, do you know Luo Hongwen?"

Since ten years have passed, Luo Su is not sure whether this is still Luo's tea restaurant. After all, the sign outside only reads "Traditional Cantonese Tea Restaurant" in large characters, without the owner's surname.

"Are you looking for Brother Hong Wen? Brother Hong Wen is in the kitchen. If you are in a hurry, I will call him now." The waitress seemed a little strange that Luo Su knew Luo Hongwen. After all, he had never seen Luo Su before.

The waitress feels that her memory is very good. As long as a customer comes once, she can accurately recognize the customer's name. The waitress had no memory of the person in front of her. Most likely, he had never been to a tea restaurant.

"No, let him be busy first, I can wait."

Now that Canalis is still in San Francisco, Luo Su really doesn't need to be in a hurry. It's okay to talk about things after eating the dumplings.

Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Su also sat on the chair on the left hand side of the entrance to the tea restaurant, and asked the waitress: "Is this the chef Luo Hongwen now?"

In Luo Su's memory, Luo Hongwen didn't seem to have the ability to do the tea restaurant business except for fighting. At that time, Luo Hongwen was someone who could turn fried dough sticks into fried dough cakes.

"Yes, Brother Hong Wen has been doing this for five years. Now, our tea restaurant has the best business on this street. This is all thanks to Brother Hong Wen's cooking skills." Speaking of Luo Hongwen, the waitress's face was full of smiles. He seemed to be very satisfied with Na Luo Hongwen.

Seeing this, Russell took a look at the other person's appearance, and after confirming that he had not seen him before, he continued to ask: "What is your relationship with Luo Hongwen?"

"I'm his wife." After saying this, the waitress's smile became even brighter.

It seems I've come to the wrong place.

Seeing the other person's smile, Luo Su suddenly felt that he was in the wrong place. Judging from the information Luo Su just received, his cousin Luo Hongwen should have quit the Hong Gang and be concentrating on taking care of the tea restaurant.

If his arrival disrupted his cousin's life, Luo Su still felt that it was inappropriate.

So after the other party finished speaking, Luo Su also gave up the idea of ​​asking Luo Hongwen to contact the Hong Gang to find out Canalise's identity.

After having this idea, Luo Su also immediately stood up and said to Luo Hongwen's wife: "It turns out to be my sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law? Who are you?" Luo Hongwan's wife heard this and immediately looked at Luo Su again.

Judging from the appearance, the man in front of me should be of mixed race, and his face has a more European appearance. If the bridge of his nose and hair color were different, Luo Hongwen's wife might not be able to recognize his mixed-race identity.

"I am Luo Su, Luo Hongwen's cousin. It has been ten years since I left here." Luo Su stood up and looked down at Luo Hongwen's wife, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, and said.

"It is you!"

Luo Hongwen's wife seemed to have heard about Luo Su's situation from Luo Hongwen, so just after Luo Su introduced himself, the other party immediately reacted.

"I'm going to call Brother Hong Wen right now, you wait." Luo Hongwen's wife said with a smile, and trotted directly to the kitchen.

When Luo Su saw this, he also smiled knowingly. It is considered very good for my cousin Luo Hongwen to marry such a wife.

With Luo Hongwen's ruthless attitude back then, Luo Su thought that he would continue to hang out in the Hong Gang until he became the ultimate thug.

But who would have thought that Luo Hongwen, who was in charge of gangs at that time, would actually open a tea restaurant in the back and start his own life of a wife and children.

"Luo Su!"

Just when Luo Su was thinking about how Luo Hongwen could change, his cousin Luo Hongwen had also walked out of the kitchen. He was seen walking towards Luo Su, taking off the chef's hat on his head, revealing his head with a dangerous hairline.

"You are still willing to come back. It has been ten years since you left for Los Angeles. I thought you would never come back." Luo Hongwen walked up to Luo Su, hugged Luo Su directly, and hammered him twice. Go down Luosu's back.

Although Luo Hongwen has changed his career, from a professional thug to a chef, his figure has not changed to a big head, thick neck, or beer belly. Instead, he has the same appearance as when he was in the Hong Gang. With Miba's figure and tendons all over his body, he is not a character to be trifled with at first glance.

"Don't tell me, if I don't have something to do, I really don't have time to go back to San Francisco." Luo Su didn't lie. If Canalis hadn't been on this trip, Luo Su might still be in Los Angeles thinking about how to deal with Long Beach. Instead, Mayor Brian traveled to San Francisco to investigate the new members of his special operations team.

"Tell me, what are you doing here this time? What are you doing in Los Angeles?"

The two of them had no contact in the Year of the Tiger, so Luo Hongwen was very enthusiastic. He greeted Luo Su and sat down.

But at this time, Luo Su glanced inside the tea restaurant. Although there were not many people there, there were still customers. If Luo Hongwen, the chef, left, the restaurant would definitely not be able to continue to open.

So when Luo Hongwen just sat down, Luo Su said: "Why don't you go and be busy first? You can talk after you are done."

"I'm not the only one in the kitchen. After all the big things are done, there are only a few small things left. Your sister-in-law is there to take care of them. It's okay." Luo Hongwen waved his hand, indicating that Luo Su didn't need to worry about this.

Since Luo Hongwen said so himself, Luo Su also sat down and began to answer the question Luo Hongwen just asked, "I am now a police officer in Los Angeles. I came back this time because of the police station."

"You became a police officer?" Compared to Luo Su's reaction when he discovered Luo Hongwen's experience in abandoning his gang and opening a tea restaurant, Luo Hongwen seemed more surprised that Luo Su actually became a police officer.

In Luo Hongwen's memory, Luo Su's father was the backbone of the Hong Gang. Even if Luo Su's father is dead, the change in the opponent's professional camp must have been too great.

"Yes, in Long Beach, Los Angeles." Luo Su said and took out a police badge from his jacket pocket.

It really is?

Only after seeing Luo Su's police badge did Luo Hongwen believe what he just said. This cousin had really become a police officer. As for why Luo Hongwen didn't doubt the authenticity of the police badge in Luo Su's hand, it was because it was completely unnecessary. Luo Su wouldn't get a fake police badge just to deceive himself, would he?

"I didn't expect that after ten years of not seeing each other, you actually became a police officer." Although he already believed Luo Su's identity, it was still beyond Luo Hongwen's expectations, so when talking about this, Luo Hongwen was still a little unbelievable.

"You too, why did you start your own tea restaurant?"

When Luo Su came here just now, he thought he could only find the contact information of the other party. After all, before this, Luo Hongwen didn't like doing this tea restaurant business at all.

"No, after getting married, you will always need money, and you are in Hong Bang."

Luo Hongwen didn't finish his words, but Luo Su could also hear the meaning of the other person's words. When the other party was in Nahong Gang, although he was prosperous, he could not make much money. As a younger brother, no matter how good he is in fighting, he can only make a living. In the end, the big bosses of the gang will take the big profits.

Under such circumstances, for the sake of his wife, Luo Hongwen returned to this tea restaurant and took over the family's business.

"By the way, what are you going to do with me?"

Luo Su had not returned to San Francisco for ten years. Luo Hongwen did not think that the other party was just here to chat with him. Luo Su must have some other purpose for coming here this time.

Now that Luo Hongwen has said this, Luo Su naturally said to him directly: "Before I came, I planned to let you inquire about something in the Hong Gang, but now that you are no longer in the Hong Gang, I will go there myself. Look for it."

Although Luo Hongwen may not be able to bring him some information here, Luo Hongwen is not the only acquaintance of Luo Su in the Nahong Gang. It's just that other people don't have such a relationship with Luo Su, so it would be a little embarrassing to find them.

Especially since Luo Su's father has been gone for a long time, and he basically has no friendship with the Hong Gang. The most Luo Su can do is use his father's reputation back then. As for the rest, Luo Su can only make plans at that time. .
