Chapter 635 Taking pictures(2/2)
Luo Lie was about to make a request to testify in court to Ballmer, but Conley, who was standing aside, protested: "Nuoli, you are a villain who does not talk about morality in the world. You should kill us father and son. As long as you can afford to bear the infamy of An Liangtang, then you should do it. Frown, I am not a man!"
Ballmer hurriedly threw a blame look at Conley.
But it's too late.
Luo Lie turned to Conley and said coldly: "I know, Tom has promised you that no matter what the result is, he will not touch a finger of your father and son."
Conley responded with a sneer: "Tom's words are all right, but it's a pity that he has a scum brother like you."
Luo Lie laughed instead of anger, took two steps forward, walked to Conley, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Luo Lie. You can call me Nuoli. I used to be a brother of Kingsoft Anliangtang. When I first got on the bus, I told your father. I was just sorry, you were sitting in another car and didn't hear my self-introduction. But now you hear it, you should understand that I Nuoli was once a brother of Kingsoft Anliangtang. What does it mean? It was very clear, but it was not now, so Tom's promise to you is not binding on me."
Conley said angrily: "You are despicable and shameless, you are changing your concept."
Luo Lie shrugged and smiled, "Okay, I admit that your scolding makes sense. I can change my mind. I will not kill you or ask you to do anything. Now I only need to notify Stand, Cooper and Eston. What will happen to you, father and son?"
Conley was stunned.
Luo Lie patted Conley on the cheek and said, "They won't leave you any chance, right?"
Conley is as stupid as a wooden chicken.
Luo Lie picked a dead leaf that fell on his shoulder for Conley and said, "So, I advise you to calm down and let your father have a good talk with me. Maybe we can find a way that both parties can accept."
Ballmer said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, right, Nuoli, I believe we can find a solution that is acceptable to both sides."
Luo Lie turned around, pointed to the two big pits behind the hut, and said, "The two pits were dug all night after I took my brothers to dig them. I don't want to waste them. However, who is buried here? The decision is in your hands. Do you understand? Mr. Ballmer."
Ballmer nodded repeatedly and replied, "I understand, Nuoli, as long as I can do it, I will promise you all."
Luo Lie raised the corner of his mouth, smiled and said, "Seeking in court, testifying against Eston, Cooper and Stander."
Ballmer just hesitated and replied, "I promise you, but I hope you can let Conley go."
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I can promise you, but I have another request to provide evidence that the three of them are guilty."
Ballmer was stunned. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Nuoli, it's not that I didn't agree to your request, but that I really can't provide strong evidence."
My father's love of protecting his calf moved Conley. According to the law, under normal circumstances, smuggling two hundred tons of opium will at least be sentenced to permanent imprisonment. Even if the court considers the voluntary confession and accusing other criminals of meritorious acts and reduces the sentence, it will be more than 20 years in prison. Conley couldn't bear to see his father die in prison in old age, so he snatched: "Nori, let my father go and let me testify in court. I can provide evidence of crimes between Cooper Eston and Stander."
Ballmer was anxious and stood in front of Luo Lie, roaring: "You promised me to let Conley go. You can't break your promise, you can't believe his lies easily!" Instead, facing Conley, crying with tears in his eyes: "Conley, it's me who did the wrong thing, and it's me who should be punished. Why do you do this? How can I survive in the world if you do this?"
Conley also shed two lines of tears and said, "Father, you are old and cannot withstand the pain of prison. I can't watch you die in prison and be powerless. But I am still young and I can stand it. Twenty years later, I can still live again."
Luo Lie was also quite moved when he looked at the father and the other two, especially among foreigners, it is rare for father and son to have such deep blood ties. "Okay, okay, you all put away your tears, Mr. Ballmer, Conley, if you can provide strong evidence, then I will make a solemn promise to you both. I guarantee the reputation of all the peaceful and graceful words of the United States of America. No matter who you testify in court, I will not let you go to prison." Luo Lie said, taking out a photo of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the photo. On the back of the photo, there were words of encouragement and signature written by the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the.
Ballmer wiped his tears and said, "Nuoli, it's not that I don't believe in you, but I don't know how you can guarantee Conley's exemption from the sentence."
Luo Lie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You father and son ate two hundred tons of opium in one breath. Such crimes are sentenced to life imprisonment in any court. Even if you have meritorious service, it will not be less than twenty years. Therefore, after the trial, you can only smuggle in another country in anonymous name."
Ballmer shook his head and said, "Since the punishment cannot be exempted, how can we leave safely after we testify in court?"
Luo Lie smiled faintly and said, "One of you can go back and prepare. After appearing in court to testify, I will hijack the judge in court and send you safely away from Jinshan."
Ballmer and his son were stunned.
Conley asked in confusion: "Nuoli, hijacking the judge in court is the most serious crime, and he will definitely be sentenced to hang!"
Luo Lie smiled indifferently and said, "Of course I know."
Conley said suspiciously: "You know? You know you still do this?"
Luo Lie put away his smile and asked seriously: "Why, don't you believe it?"
Conley said: "It's not that I don't believe it, but I don't want to understand what you are doing?"
Luo Lie showed a meaningful smile, shook his head, and said, "Conley, you should tell me what kind of evidence you can come up with."
Conley took off his leather shoes, broke open his heel, took out a mini camera, and said, "I like reading novels like spy agents. I often imagine myself as the master of the book. I am more interested in the spy tools described in the book. This mini camera is one of the ones I collected. Coinciding with Kingsoft, Eston and Stand last time I met with Cooper, and Eston and Stander, I took it all over Cooper’s Officer Club and secretly took pictures of the scenes of me meeting with the three of them. What's more coincidental is that I used to use the potion for rinsing the photos, so the film can only be left in the camera."
Luo Lie took the miniature camera in surprise and held it in his hand. He only dared to look at it, but did not dare to play with it. "I hope those photos can be taken clearly and completely."
Conley said easily: "If the full score is 100, I will score 99 points on my secret photography skills, and the deduction is just because my camera is not the most advanced."
Luo Lie carefully returned the micro camera to Conley and said, "Conley, what equipment is needed to rinse the film into a photo?"
Conley shook his head and said, "I know what you want to do, but Nuel, I have to pour cold water on you. Here, there is no clear photo. We need to go into the city and find a photo studio. Of course, this has to be based on your belief in me."
Luo Lie said: "Of course I believe you. Tom said that filial piety is the first priority. He saw from your filial piety that you are not a bad person. Today I got the same verification. Conley, I am worried that Kingsoft is no longer safe now. I am afraid that the streets and alleys are full of police. If we rashly enter the city, we will be afraid that you will harm you."
Conley said: "You are willing to be sentenced to hang in order to rescue Tom, to clear An Liangtang's charges, and to make promises to us father and son. With this, I Conley admire you and are willing to take risks with you."
Luo Lie pursed his lips, nodded heavily, and then said to Old Ballmer: "Now you can go back to New York to prepare. The court will be held in five days. Conley will testify in court. After the trial is over, I will arrange for someone to send him to Miami. After you are ready, go to Miami to meet Conley, and I will arrange for you to leave the United States of America."
It was almost noon, in the thatched cottage, everyone ate something briefly, and Luo Lie arranged for two brothers to see Ballmer away.
"Let's go, Conley, we don't have to venture into Kingsoft. We walk north from here and get to Sacramento City in almost the same distance." Luo Lie said, shrugging his shoulders easily and joked: "Although Sacramento is not big, I think that as the capital of California, you should be able to find an ideal photo studio there!"
Conley smiled and said, "Of course, when the governor is participating in the election, he needs to take a photo with the required clarity."
I added fuel twice on the road, and had dinner in the motel. At nearly nine o'clock in the evening, Luo Lie drove into the downtown area of Sacramento.
This is also the first time Luo Lie has come to this city.
If you are not familiar with the place, you can only bump around like a fly.
Fortunately, Sacramento City is not big, with a total population of less than 200,000 and only one city center. Therefore, Luo Lie and Conley found a photo studio relatively easily.
However, the photo studio has already turned off the lights.
No one would take photos at night, so Luo Lie concluded that even if he went to find a second photo studio, he would not be able to escape the result of turning off the lights. So Luo Lie stopped the car, jumped out of the car and came to the door of the photo studio, raised his fist, and smashed the store door heavily.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
After three loud noises, someone's questioning came from inside: "It's too late. If you take a photo, wait tomorrow!"
Luo Lie lied and replied: "No, boss, you misunderstood. I picked up a leather bag at the door of your store. I want to ask, did you lose it?"
The person inside sneered and replied: "Sorry, I don't have any leather bags, leave here quickly, otherwise I will call the police!"
Luo Lie smiled helplessly, raised his feet, and kicked the store door open with a 'bang'. At the same time, he took out a gun from his arms, rushed into the store, and forced the owner's head with the gun: "Sorry, we don't plan to grab money, we just want to borrow your equipment to wash a roll of photos."
Conley followed in and closed the store door, raised the mini camera in his hand and asked, "Where is your darkroom?"
The shop owner pointed nervously upstairs.
Luo Lie made a gesture to stop Conley and said, "You look at him below, I'll go up and take a look first." After that, he took out another gun from his arms and threw it to Conley.
There was indeed only one dark room for washing photos upstairs, and there was no one else. After Luo Lie confirmed his safety, he turned back downstairs and exchanged with Conley.
After Conley went upstairs, Luo Lie took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and placed them in front of the owner, saying, "We are not bad guys. We are just anxious to wash out the photos. The money is just for the compensation for using your equipment and the compensation for kicking your store door. But you have to make sure that if my kick just now attracted the police, you have to give me a strong explanation, okay?"
The shop owner glanced at the stack of banknotes. Although they were all denominations of one dollar, the total number was more than ten. More than ten dollars was equivalent to his income in a week. How could there be no reason to not agree?
However, luckily, Luo Lie's kick did not attract the police, and the three of them in the store spent more than an hour of the river crab.
Conley finally returned to the downstairs with the photos. As soon as he showed up, he shouted excitedly: "Nuoli, you must praise me. These photos are simply perfect!"
Although the photos were fixed, they were still a little wet. Luo Lie placed these photos on the desktop and admired them one by one. It is true that although these photos were all secretly taken, they were perfect in terms of angle and clarity. Especially the group photos of Conley, Cooper, Eston and Stander clearly presented everyone's expressions.
"Conley, I don't understand. You said, how did you take these photos? From the shooting perspective, the camera should not be in your hands. Will anyone help you take these photos?" Luo Lie raised his own question while slamming the photos with his hands, hoping to make them dry faster.
Conley smiled and said, "This is the charm of science and technology. Noli, my spy camera has automatic shooting function. Here is it." Conley took the camera and demonstrated to Luo Lie: "There is a knob here. If you tighten it, it can take five photos in a row. I said, this is not the most advanced spy camera. The most advanced can automatically take ten photos in a row."
Luo Lie has not learned the principles of mechanical, and after all, he still hasn't figured out how Conley said that automatic photography is implemented. However, reality is already in front of him. Whether it is understandable or not, the evidence of crimes of Cooper, Eston and Stander is already in his hands, so the principle of automatic photography is no longer important.
Luo Lie collected the photos, stuffed the stack of banknotes into the owner's hand, then took Kang Li out of the photo studio door, got into the car, and left.
"Nuoli, are you really going to hijack the judge?" The car was driving in the night, and Conley couldn't help asking, "Don't get me wrong, Nuoli, I don't doubt you, I just don't want to lose your friend."
On the way to Sacramento City, Conley talked a lot with Luo Lie. From the initial passive trust, to the subsequent active trust, and finally being moved by Luo Lie's determination, Conley already regarded Luo Lie as a good friend with similar intentions. Conversely, Luo Lie also had a good impression of Conley. After all, in this cruel world where the strong prey on the weak, there are few people who can have such filial piety as Conley. As the communication deepened, Luo Lie discovered that although Conley was not very capable in fist and foot and had superficial skills in guns, he was good at observing and meticulous, but he was also a rare talent, and naturally felt a sense of mutual appreciation in his heart.
Luo Lie replied seriously: "Apart from this, I can't think of any other way to save Brother Bin and whether he would break his promise. Conley, I'm sorry, the reason why I used this method to deal with you father and son is a helpless move. I hope you can forgive me."
