EP1414. Emergencies
After receiving the call, Shi Xiaolei immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the police station as quickly as possible.
After going to the front desk and asking how to get there, Shi Xiaolei arrived at the floor where his destination was located and met Skye and others who had already arrived first.
"Chappell." Seeing Skye crying in Claire's arms, crying quite sadly, Shi Xiaolei had no choice but to turn his attention to the black boy beside him: "What is the situation?"
"Boss." He nodded to Shi Xiaolei, and Chappell also had a bit of sadness on his face.
After stubbing out the half-smoked cigarette butt in his hand, Chappell came to Shi Xiaolei in a few steps and began to tell: "I'm not 100% sure, but this is probably what happened..."
The business in the store is getting better and better, and I have more money on hand.
Having tasted the sweetness, Chappell and others wanted to move up a level. In addition, more and more strangers came from the afterlife, and the original two stores were almost unable to accommodate them, so after
After an internal meeting, Chappell and others decided to find a suitable store and open a new store.
The first store is in Chinatown at the southern end of Manhattan Island, and the second store is in Flushing on the west side. Wanting to spread the locations of the three stores more evenly, Chappell and others aimed at the north side of Manhattan Island.
and the east side, decided to give priority to selecting a store in these two areas to open the second branch.
To the north is Harlem, one of the famous black neighborhoods.
Although Chappell and others want to open a fast food restaurant, the consumption level is not high and the price is more suitable for black people living in Harlem. However, from the perspective of eating habits, the Chinese fast food operated in the store is
But it is not easily accepted by the local black people.
In comparison, Hell's Kitchen on the east side of Manhattan Island has slightly better investment prospects.
It’s not that the consumption level here is higher, or that the public security is better than that in Harlem. I think this place is more suitable because the Chinese Consulate General in New York is here and there are many Chinese restaurants here.
It is second only to Chinatown and has already formed a cluster effect. If you open a store here, you can enjoy the additional customers brought by the cluster effect, and it will be easier to operate.
"While we have free time today, we divided into several groups and planned to scan all of Hell's Kitchen to see where there are suitable stores." He lit a cigarette again and Chappell shook his head with a painful look on his face:
"It's all my fault. I knew how messy this place was, so why didn't I stop it~! If I had insisted on opposing it, I wouldn't have come here to look for a show, and they wouldn't have encountered a gunfight..."
As he spoke, Chappell squatted down with his head in his hands.
His voice was full of annoyance and his mood was filled with excitement. It could be seen that this guy really blamed himself and felt that he was mostly responsible for today's accident.
And after hearing this, Shi Xiaolei already roughly knew what was going on.
"Alas..." I didn't know what to say, so I could only bend down and pat Chappell's back gently.

At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps in the corridor.
Hearing the panic in the footsteps, Shi Xiaolei looked up and met Mr. Hyde's gaze.
"Locke, uh, where is Daisy? Have you seen her? Where is she?" After receiving Lisa's call, Mr. Hyde rushed over immediately. Because he couldn't get through Skye's cell phone along the way.
He has now fallen into a state of confusion and is about to transform.
"Doctor Zabo, calm down. Skye is fine." Sensing how excited Mr. Hyde was and fearing that he would break out and hurt someone in the police station, Shi Xiaolei quickly grabbed his arm and rushed to the door next to him.
Li Nuzui said: "She is in the house, Claire and the others are here. Don't worry, Skye is fine, not hurt at all."
Without bothering to respond to Shi Xiaolei, Mr. Hyde immediately turned around, opened the door, and rushed into the room.
He came and went in a hurry, and disappeared after just one encounter. Not only did Shi Xiaolei find Mr. Hyde's move quick, but the two police officers who had been chasing him from the door of the police station also had the same idea.
"Hey, you can't..."
Seeing that the two police officers had drawn out their batons and wanted to chase them into the house angrily. Shi Xiaolei quickly opened his arms and stopped them both: "Both of you, please don't get excited. He was just too anxious. I'll do it for you."
He apologized, he was really sorry..."
Anyone else would have been scolded by the police officers.
Thanks to Shi Xiaolei.
"Uh, Mr. Locke?"
"It's me, I'm sorry. The one who broke in just now was my companion. He was just too worried." He let go of his arms and looked at the two police officers in front of him. Shi Xiaolei quickly recalled the memory in his mind: "Give me a
How's your face? Officer Flere, and Officer Bob."
Since getting acquainted with George Stacey, Shi Xiaolei has donated money and materials to the police station more than once.
Over time, he had gotten to know many police officers in the station, and conversely, those whose names he had not remembered also remembered his name and appearance.
The face they had saved in the past came in handy now. Seeing clearly that it was Shi Xiaolei, the two police officers simply changed their attitude: "Okay, since you opened your mouth, let's just keep it a secret.
Mr. Locke, please be sure to keep an eye on your friend. If he goes on the rampage like before... with so many people watching, we will be really embarrassed."
"No problem, I will definitely be optimistic about him." Knowing that the other party was responsible, Shi Xiaolei nodded quickly.
"Okay, then get busy, we have to go back and stand guard."
"Wait a minute." A thought flashed through his mind, and Shi Xiaolei stopped him again: "What, you two, can you help me?"
"You said, as long as I can do it." The police officer named Fleur responded simply.
"Nothing else." As he spoke, Shi Xiaolei raised his finger and pointed to the room next to him: "Can you help me find out the news about this scandal? Er, please don't get me wrong, I don't want to rush you.
.I also know that you must be investigating urgently. What I mean is...can you tell me the information you have collected first? It doesn’t matter if you have more or less, just say as much as you can, okay?”
"Well..."
The two police officers looked at each other and quickly agreed.
"Wait a moment, I'll go take a look." Officer Flere smiled at Shi Xiaolei and turned around and walked in the other direction.
The police officer named Bob also followed the atmosphere and gave Shi Xiaolei a hint: "Or, you can also call our director directly. If there is any information, he will definitely know."
"Uh, thank you, I'll contact George right now."
