Chapter 13 "Borrowing" a car
Josie and Margot spent an afternoon in the new house, but in the end Josie didn't stay there that day.
Although the keys have been obtained and the house is well-equipped, the problem is that the refrigerator is empty, and the nearest restaurant is not a short distance away, so it is really inconvenient if you don’t have a car—even though Josie snatched it I bought a luxury car, but that thing will not be seen for a short time, so it can only be used as a collection or in some special situations.
As for the new car, although Margot has asked someone to handle it, it will not be delivered until tomorrow at the earliest.
So seeing that it was almost time, the two returned to the city. After having dinner together, Margot sent Josie home.
"Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?" Seeing Josie get out of the car, Margot leaned on the steering wheel and asked with a smile.
"Um, ma'am, you understand, I live alone, so the house is a bit messy...Of course, if you don't mind..." Hearing Margot's teasing, Josie couldn't help scratching his head, but he didn't mind talking to this Something happened to the beautiful woman, but the apartment was indeed a bit messy. I had been busy with my livelihood before, and basically didn't clean it up.
As a native of the Xia Kingdom in my previous life, I was really not used to bringing home a woman I had just met in this situation.
"Haha, I'm just kidding you. Go back and have a good rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Seeing the shy and embarrassed look of the boy, Margot laughed happily.
Although we have only known each other for a day, it is obvious that Josie gave her a very good sense, and even gave her a feeling of first love.
It's just that in the previous relationship, Josie's performance was a bit too mature, and the care of various details made Margot feel very comfortable, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
After all, in her opinion, a boy who is only 15 years old has to experience something before he can understand so much about how to behave in the world.
Only now did she see a trace of embarrassment as a teenager in Josie.
"How about the afternoon? In the morning, I still have some things to deal with." Seeing that Margot didn't pay too much attention, Josie was slightly relieved, and then said.
This morning, I robbed the car to take revenge on the thief who stole my car, and then met Margot to look at the house together. It can be said that Josie's original plan was completely disrupted.
Although it is related to his own life, the more important thing is the arms deal with Longma.
It’s just that it’s already late today, and he didn’t have a car, so he can only wait until tomorrow—whether in this era or in the future, stores in the United States generally close early, usually at five or six o’clock, and only a small number of communities may be slightly closed. Later, but basically no more than nine o'clock, and gun shops generally belong to the former.
So it's too late for Josie to buy a gun now.
So he is going to buy a car today, and then buy a gun tomorrow morning—although Margot said that he will get a new car tomorrow, but this does not prevent Josie from getting a few more cars, especially the ones without records Or a "stolen" car for special occasions - such as when you leave the suburbs in the morning and don't have a car.
Anyway, the space of the trading system is large enough—although the system space is not unlimited, the huge space of a thousand cubic kilometers is enough to accommodate an international metropolis.
Besides, the time in the system space is stagnant, and there is no concern about deterioration of the things put in.
In fact, with such a huge space, even if there is no trading partner, Josie can still make a lot of money by smuggling. Anyway, even if the customs strips him, he will not find anything tricky.
It's just that Josie is weak now, and the risk of doing this is too great.
After all, judges need to talk about evidence, but colleagues in this industry don't need it.
As long as they know you and suspect that you have robbed the business, they have enough reasons to do it.
"Okay, then I'll come over at one o'clock in the afternoon." Hearing that Josie said that she had something to deal with, Margot didn't ask too much, but said another time right away.
Josie has no problem with that.
A consensus was reached, and the two formally bid farewell.
Just waiting for Margot's car to disappear from sight, Josie turned around and walked in another direction.
Within ten minutes, Josie came to a parking lot, and then sneaked in without the guard noticing.
The rest is very simple, whichever car you like, just put it in the system warehouse.
Some people may be surprised to see here, what's the use of taking the car away without the key?
But in fact, for cars of this era, as long as you can open the door of the car, you can easily drive this car away without a key at all.
Because the car key in this era is simply to unlock the car door and play a simple anti-theft role.
The start of the car is a one-button start that people in the 21st century are very familiar with.
That's right, it's a one-button start, not a car key start.
The only difference is that the premise of the one-button start of the car in the future is that the starter must have an electronic key with chip identification, but the one-button start of this era does not need it.
In fact, the first generation of cars did not require a "key" to start. Cars before 1927 were started with the same crank as tractors in the 1980s and 1990s.
After the invention of electronic ignition after 1927, there was a one-button start.
The kind of mechanical key start familiar to future generations was invented by Chrysler after 1949.
That's why before, when Josie locked Joe and Mike in the car when he was robbing the car in the old warehouse, he still had to fill a pot of coffee into the gas tank of the old Ford.
And insisting on the keys to the Cadillac V16, just not wanting to damage the windows.
Otherwise, if you are more violent, you can just smash the window and drive away.
It’s just that Josie is not willing to violently destroy this kind of collection-level luxury car with a stock of only more than 4,000 in the world.
But it doesn't matter if it's just a spare car for some temporary situations.
Turn around and find a place where no one is around. Once the window is smashed, it can be opened.
So after entering the parking lot, Josie didn't pick much, just "borrowed" seven or eight black regular-model cars, and then quietly left here, avoiding the guards at the gate of the parking lot.
The whole process went very smoothly, but Josie would not be complacent about it, let alone feel that with the existence of the system warehouse, he could steal things wantonly.
After all, other places are not like places like the parking lot, where there is almost no defense. Even if they are discovered, they will be suspected at most.
