195. Offset from the beginning(1/2)
Rachel just said this, and then didn't say it anymore.
after all……
Rachel didn't want to say anything more to that scumbag ex-husband, and, most importantly, Lei was dead.
Yes.
The local police report was a drowning death.
The exact time of death is not clear, but it was because within a month after Lake and Rachel got along, the local police found Lei's body in a pond.
After testing, Lei's body contained excessive alcohol and water in his lungs. He was confirmed to have died of drowning. The police briefly investigated and then announced the closing of the case.
Such a case that can determine the cause of death at a glance is really not worth wasting police force.
In short, Ray is not the point, the point is whether Dominic Toledo is returning to his old business and is doing something sneaky. This is the point.
As he passed by, Rachel looked very bad, and gritted her teeth. Lake had no doubt that if Dominic Toledo said this, Rachel promised to slap him.
About half an hour later.
Lake slowly parked the vehicle across the street with the [Toledo Snacks and Cafe Shop].
Turn off the engine.
get off.
Lake glanced at a brown bridge car parked in front and a red pickup truck, then closed the door and pulled Josie out of the car, and followed Rachel who was already walking in front.
There was already a customer drinking coffee and reading newspapers under the parasol outside the shop.
There was also a man wearing a black T-shirt and short blonde curly hair sitting inside.
"Mia!"
“…Rachel?”
Mia, who was at the counter, heard the sound and looked at the door. When she saw Rachel, her face suddenly showed joy. She knocked on the glass door over there, shouted at a big bald head with her back facing away from her, then walked out of the counter and hugged Rachel at the door.
Brian O'Connor, who was savoring the tuna sandwich that no one could order at the bar, also turned his curious eyes to Rachel who was hugging Mia.
Then.
His eyes turned directly to a tough man with a bald appearance that walked out of the inside.
This is the primary goal of federal undercover Brian O'Connor.
After Dominic came out, he also hugged Rachel.
Rachel looked at Lake who was following him, and then signaled to Rachel.
"Lack."
"Mia."
“Dominic.”
"My boyfriend."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Lake and Mia shook hands, and like everyone else, looked at the layout and decoration of the store and said to Mia: "It's a very unique store, with some Italian style inside."
Mia said thank you.
Lake then shook hands with Dominic.
Hands in contact.
Dominic felt the traces of Lake's palm quietly and then let go.
After a while.
Josie was also introduced to Mia and Dominic.
Mia then took Josie to the drink cabinet over there and asked Josie to choose the drink she liked.
Rachel pointed directly at Dominic and pointed to the lounge inside: "I have something to ask you, come in."
Dominic followed in.
Lake didn't go.
He pulled open a high stool and sat on it.
"So……"
Mia, who was there, took Josie directly into the counter. Josie drank the drink in her hand. Mia asked what Lake was drinking with interest. When she was taking the bourbon, she asked curiously: "Lack, are you also a reporter?"
Lake shook his head: "No."
Mia handed a cup of Bourbon to Lake, looked at Lake who was wearing a suit but was not sweating at all, and thought for a while: "Wall Street?"
Lake laughed and said, "Do I look like I am from Wall Street?"
Mia frowned, thought for a while, her eyes lit up: "Are you from Washington?"
Lake shook his head again, laughed, took out his ID from his arms and handed it to Mia.
Mia receives.
Open.
His mouth opened slightly, then he looked up at Lake: "Domestic Security?"
With a bang.
When Lake was about to nod, the customer next to him who had just said nothing fell down the coffee cup in his hand.
Mia hurriedly returned the ID to Lake, took a towel and handed it to Brian who was getting up there.
After taking it, Brian said sorry, and then wiped the coffee-dipped area with a towel.
Inner house.
After Rachel and Dominic entered, they went straight to the topic: "Are you going back to your old business?"
Dominic was a little confused: "What, how is that possible?"
Rachel had a serious face: "Don't lie to me."
Dominic laughed and said, "I haven't been doing that for many years."
Said.
Dominic looked at Rachel with some curiosity: "Where did you hear it?"
"Luck said, I heard from his colleagues talk about you."
"he?"
Dominic's eyes shone through the glass and glanced at Lake: "What did your boyfriend say?"
Rachel said directly: "Lack is a senior director of the Department of Homeland Security. Do you think, I believe what he said or what you said. You can make me believe you. Now, in front of me, tell me that you have not returned to your old career."
Dominic asked, "Domestic Security Agency, is it true or false?"
etc.
Why is it related to homeland security when I steal a car or something?
There is no reason.
Rachel didn't intend to let Dominic break the topic and said again: "Tell me, you haven't re-entered your old career."
Dominic looked at Rachel: "I don't."
Rachel looked at Dominic expressionlessly, staring deeply at Dominic who was looking at her for a while, and nodded: "You'd better not, because this time, don't expect me to help you."
After saying that.
Rachel turned around and pushed open the door and walked out.
Dominic was brainstorming in his mind why he was targeted by the people from the Homeland Security Bureau.
When Rachel walked out, the guest who had coffee on her body had left.
The big boss of the New York State of the Homeland Security Bureau suddenly entered the market. He needs to report to his superiors quickly.
Brian O'Connor just joined the FBI. Like all FBI agents, if you want to become a formal agent, you must have an undercover operation. This is the iron rule set by the FBI bosses back then.
Moreover, the federal agent who just joined was still very weak in the aura of the agent. It is appropriate to conduct an undercover operation at this time, so this has become a tradition.
The federal agent in charge of Brian O'Connor was Bill Kings, an African-American federal.
After hearing Brian's return, Bill Kings immediately asked Brian to pause first, and then hung up the phone and contacted his superiors to hope to confirm the news.
After all, although Bill Kings' level can lead a federal operation, it is still a bit too low to confirm a senior director of the Department of Homeland Security.
After a while.
Bill Kings' supervisor confirmed that the New York State Homeland Security boss's plane did dock in the hangar at Los Angeles International Airport.
