The Third Winter Soldier

Chapter 10 Bounty Questions

Although the FBI set up a round-up circle in advance, it ended in failure to arrest.

Edgar*Rommos and the two police officers standing at the entrance of the Caesars Hotel nodded, and then he lowered his head and lowered his body to pass through the cordon around the entrance of the Caesars Hotel. Fat boss, go straight to the second floor.

On the second floor, Lilith was standing by the window with her arms folded, watching the police officers looking for traces at the scene impatiently. Their slow movements were simply unbearable for her. She let out a long breath and turned her head. Looking at the mess caused by the shooting below, and the busy FBI and police officers who came and went, I couldn't help but think of the rude man whose belt was cut off by her and escaped. I thought that this man really had to ask God Bless him, if she meets this guy again, it won't be so easy for him to escape, she must beat him up.

"Hello, Lilith." Edgar stepped into the room and said to her with a smile.

"Oh, it's Mr. Detective." Lilith looked at him with a dull expression, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and asked, "Are you here to give me money?"

Edgar choked when he heard the words, this woman... Did she get into Qian's eyes?He hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I just came up to take a look. If you need any help, you can tell me!"

"Help?" Lilith said with a slight mocking tone: "If you can make these people move faster, then you will really help me."

"Uh..." Edgar looked at the direction Lilith's eyes were pointing at, and explained, "This is a necessary procedure, please understand."

"Oh, of course I understand, otherwise would I stay here foolishly?" Lilith snorted softly, turned her head to look out the window again, and ignored Edgar.

Edgar carefully walked around the things on the ground, walked up to her and said, "I have something to ask you!"

Lilith ignored him, didn't even bother to turn her head, and just looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Lilith, Miss Lilith." Edgar thought for a moment, and said, "The question I want to ask...is very relevant to whether you can get the bounty, don't you want to hear it?"

Lilith turned her head suddenly, stared at him, and said, "Okay, then you can ask?"

Edgar pondered for a moment, then asked: "That... I just want to make sure, before you, I mean when I came here to visit you, you said you just... uh, you just looked at him like... So you called and reported it, right?"

Lilith looked at Edgar expressionlessly, for a long time, and said, "Yes, that's right, that's what I said, what? Do you have any questions, Mr. Detective?"

"Uh, yes, there is a point where you're actually not sure that's the suspect, right?" Edgar stared at Lilith, "Are you really not sure?"

"You might as well just say, what you want to make sure is whether I know that man, or more specifically, you want to ask me if that man and I are accomplices, don't you?" Lilith looked at him mockingly, "You see , you adjusted the matter to the rhythm of our initial conversation, or you have always suspected that I knew that person, or he was his accomplice, right?"

"I didn't mean that, you, don't get excited..." Edgar was silent for a while in the face of Lilith's aggressive questioning, "Well, I am indeed... a little skeptical, after all, you know the two There are quite a few rooms upstairs, isn’t it? Why would a suspect enter your room? Normal people would think so, wouldn’t they?”

"No!" Lilith interrupted him, "I don't care what you think, the person who was invaded into the room and was almost strangled to death was me, not you, I think even if you don't sympathize with my experience, you can't Such wild guesses without evidence, Mr. Detective, don’t you think you are very unprofessional? Besides…” Lilith paused, looked at Edgar with a half-smile, and asked: “You mentioned the bounty just now Well, then, may I ask, now can you confirm that the information I provided is valid?"

Edgar thought for a while and said, "The one who escaped is indeed the suspect we want to arrest, so what you provided us is valid information."

"Very good!" Lilith asked again, "Then, do you have a rule that whistleblowers who are almost strangled to death by suspects cannot receive rewards?"

Edgar was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "No, I will arrange as soon as possible to pay you the reward."

"When can it be?" Lilith asked.

"You, are you short of money?" Edgar finally couldn't help asking, this sentence has been hovering in his heart for a long time, from the first time he heard Lilith mentioning the bounty, until now he finally asked After finishing his mouth, he looked at Lilith, hoping to get an answer from her, because this woman was really the first time he met, she had such an urgent desire for money, such a straightforward person, this straightforwardness and urgency made him He was a little overwhelmed.

"Yes, if you can use your professional skills to observe me, you can find that I am very short of money, can't you?" Lily was not ashamed at all because of lack of money, on the contrary she said confidently: "I never get The money that belongs to me, although I am really short of money, now that you have confirmed it, then I have to ask you, when will I get the money! Can it be tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Edgar looked at her with some embarrassment, "There are some procedures to go, so it won't be that fast, it may take a week or more, because our report will eventually be submitted to Washington, DC, so... "

"I should be leaving Las Vegas the day after tomorrow, so I hope to get the money tomorrow." Lilith said in a non-negotiable tone.

"Miss Lilith, I'm just a detective. I don't think I can help you if you want to get the money tomorrow." Edgar shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Lilith's face darkened slightly, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Oh, is that so? That is to say, the money matter is just for nothing?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Edgar looked at her with some headaches, organizing his words in his mind, thinking about how to explain the complexity of their internal processes to her. "My... mean... is... uh..."

Just when Edgar's eyes wandered, Lilith suddenly laughed and said to him: "I really don't understand how a person like you who is not very smart and not very good at talking would think of being an FBI agent." ?Okay, I know what you mean, in this case, how will the bounty be given to me? Can you tell me?"

When Edgar heard Lilith's words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed slightly, and he quickly replied. "Oh, there are two ways, one is that you collect it yourself, and the other is that we give it to you through the bank. Actually, you don't have to worry, even if you leave Las Vegas, the money will still be given to you of."

"Really?" Lilith smiled slightly, "Okay, let's do it this way!"

"What do you mean?" Edgar asked suspiciously, "What method do you choose? Get it yourself or..."

"Of course you have to collect the money yourself, tell me your phone number!" Lilith reached out to him, "I'll call you."

Edgar reached out and fumbled in the inner pocket of his suit, but he didn't find his business card, but only his ID. He smiled at her shyly, fumbled again, and confirmed Indeed, there was no business card, so I had to dig out the outer pockets of my suit.

Lilith watched him search all his pockets, but couldn't find a business card, so she couldn't help but chuckled, "Are you sure you brought a business card?"

Edgar raised his eyes and thought about it, and finally said with a dejected voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring my business card."

"Okay, that doesn't matter, just tell me your number." Lilith bypassed a forensic police officer who was taking pictures on the ground, took out an old-fashioned straight phone with buttons from the closet, walked back and handed it Give it to him and say, "Put your number in!"

Edgar took the phone in some surprise, entered his number and pressed the dial button. Soon, both he and Lilith heard pleasant music playing from the phone in his pocket.He handed her the phone and said, "I think, after you get the bounty, maybe you can change the phone."

Lilith held the phone tightly in the palm of her hand, and said lightly, "Why do I need to change my phone? Can changing my phone make me rich?"

"Uh... I'm just suggesting." Edgar smiled awkwardly, "Okay, now we have exchanged phone numbers, and if the bounty is approved, I will call you."

"Okay, thank you!" Lilith nodded, looking unwilling to say more, leaning against the wall by the window, "Do you have any questions, Mr. Detective?"

Edgar looked at Lilith and sighed inwardly, "Well, my name is Edgar*Rommos."

Lilith looked at him indifferently, smiled without saying a word.For the sake of the young detective's good looks, she didn't want to hit him. Maybe he wouldn't be very happy if he knew she didn't care what his name was?Well, Lilith shrugged, because of the bounty, she should shut up!

The author has something to say: Hangzhou is too hot these days, and I just want to sleep and sleep every day, and my head is a mess. How are you doing, my friends?

Well, I'm going to work a little harder today.hehe
