Chapter 38 We accidentally killed an athlete
The little old man Lyndon Schneider and Big Hen Dix are both wanted criminals now, so it is naturally impossible for Josie to bring them to his home.
That was irresponsible to Margot and irresponsible to himself.
So the place he took the two of them was the small apartment that his parents used to have.
Although he had long thought of selling it, he never sold it.
Bringing the two of them here, even if the two of them are caught in the future and confess themselves, he still has enough reasons to shirk.
For example, Lyndon Schneider only has friendship with his father, knows his father's residence, and has the key there, so the place he went to has nothing to do with him, Josh Kahn.
As long as Josie bites to death, even if the two want to bite him, the police and the court will have absolutely no way to convict him.
What's more, as long as the two have a little brains, the possibility of biting Josie is very low.
Don’t look at them stealing a huge amount of jewelry, but judging from the contents of the morning newspaper, during the entire theft process, there were no other casualties except for a security guard who was injured.
As long as they didn't kill anyone, even if the two were arrested, according to the laws of this period, it wasn't a felony.
Especially both of them are white.
At most, it is a sentence of several years in prison.
If they have a good relationship with Josie, maybe they can get Josie to help them out earlier.
And what's the point of climbing and biting?
When they arrived at the place, Josie went up to talk to the building management, pretending to inquire about the sale of the apartment. Linden Schneider took the opportunity to avoid the sight of the building management, entered the apartment building and went upstairs first.
Then Josie went upstairs and opened the door, letting them in.
Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone during the whole process.
"I asked the building management. The police just searched this place this morning. You are safe here in a short time." After closing the door, Josie said to the two.
"Thank you very much, child!" Linden Schneider saluted Josie in a staid manner again.
"Don't rush to thank, let's talk about it, what is the situation with you, according to the newspaper, there should be more than two of you, the gunshots heard in the lakeside area before, should also be yours? And you The relationship with my father." Josie asked with a wave of his hand.
Lyndon Schneider and Dix looked at each other, and without much hesitation, they told the whole story.
It turned out that this theft case was really related to the barrister Amory, as Josie suspected before, and he was also one of the masterminds.
Of course, Lyndon Schneider in front of him is also a mastermind.
All of this had to start when Lyndon Schneider was just released from prison a month ago.
That's right, this criminal expert wanted by the police has just been released from prison.
And the first thing he did after he was released from prison was to come to Chicago and find a local underground broker named Coby, saying that he had a big business and needed some manpower and a buyer.
This business is to steal the safe of the jewelry store of the Lebile family.
Because Lyndon Schneider has always been known for his high IQ and high reputation on the road, the broker named Kobe received Lyndon Schneider very warmly and introduced him to one of his big clients.
And this big client is Emory Lawyer.
Attorney Emory not only expressed that he could provide financial support for Lyndon Schneider's actions, but also expressed his willingness to purchase the jewelry afterwards at a price higher than the black market price.
Because of the guarantee of the broker Coby, and because Emory is indeed a famous figure in Chicago, Lyndon Schneider was tempted by the high-priced acquisition conditions proposed by the other party and agreed.
Then quickly recruited manpower and launched operations.
The people recruited were Dix and his other three companions, Louis, Goss, and Cody.
The entire theft process went very smoothly at first.
But after the theft was completed, something unexpected happened.
While leaving, a security guard happened to appear on their way to retreat.
Although Dix successfully knocked out the security guard, unfortunately, the security guard's gun fell to the ground and went off.
In order to avoid being caught together, they had to disperse their actions.
Goss took Louis home and found a black doctor.
Linden Schneider, Dix, and Cody are on the other side, going to Emory to pay for the goods and deliver the goods... That's why Emery panicked after John Lebile left last night Leave quietly.
is for receiving goods.
What Linden and the others didn't expect was that Amory didn't want to pay at all, but planned to cheat from the very beginning.
Because Emory's financial situation has been very bad in the past few years, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy. It is impossible to spend money to buy these jewels.
So I plan to take these jewels and flee south to Mexico.
And he had an accomplice, a thug named Bob Blano.
It's just that they picked the wrong opponent.
Lyndon Schneider is a non-violent criminal who feeds on his brains.
Dix and Cody are not.
As a result, Emory failed to succeed in the black and white, and his most trusted thug, Bob Brando, became Dix's ghost.
But when Dix and Cody were about to kill Emory, they were stopped by Lyndon Schneider.
Because their current situation is very bad, they have lost buyers, cannot get money, and have nowhere to run, and such a large amount of jewelry is not so easy to sell.
So Lyndon Schneider came up with the idea to ask Emory to contact the insurance company.
As long as the price is not high, generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, the insurance company will actually be willing to buy back these gems privately to make up for the losses it compensated to the Lebile family.
Amory agreed, and disposed of the corpse of his accomplice.
It was supposed to be this matter, and it just passed away.
But what I didn't expect was that since Linden Schneider was released from prison, the police have actually been paying attention to him, a well-known criminal expert.
Coupled with the pressure from the Lebile family and the city hall,
So even if there is no direct evidence to prove that this theft was done by Lyndon Schneider.
But the police still directly issued a wanted warrant, targeting Lyndon Schneider.
Then they were embarrassed. Not long after they left Emory's villa, they were spotted by the police.
During this process, their companion, Cody, was also desperate to lure the police away, allowing Lyndon Schneider and Dix to escape, and ran into Josie who was about to detour home.
In the process of telling the story, Linden Schneider also reiterated that he has a very good relationship with Josie's father.
He even helped Josie's family to come to the United States.
Regarding this point, Josie was noncommittal, and there was no way to confirm it anyway.
But since the other party can tell a thing or two about his father, and can directly give a lot of diamonds, it shows that there is indeed friendship.
Then it’s not a bad idea to help a little bit if you have the ability.
Moreover, there is indeed a lot of room for manipulation in this matter.
"If you believe me, you might as well turn yourself in now." After pondering for a while, Josie said to Lyndon Schneider.
"Why?" Lyndon Schneider was very strange.
"Because according to what you said, Emory played an important part in this matter. In this case, it is better for you to unify your voice and push all the responsibilities on his head, and I know Mr. John Lebile, If he knew that it was his legal adviser who was behind the scenes, I believe he would not be stingy to help you and crucify Amory, the insider, then you will be just accomplices, and there is still In the case of surrender, as long as I hire a better lawyer for you, the sentence will not last for a few years, and then I will take care of it and come out on parole for medical treatment or something, and you may not even have to sit in jail... Isn’t this better than the current Desperation? " Josie said, "Anyway, during this process, you didn't cause too serious injuries except that you were on defense and killed one of Emery's thugs."
Hearing what Josie said, Lyndon Schneider was silent.
Yes, Josie's proposal is actually very pertinent.
It's just that he couldn't help tightening the gemstone backpack in his hand, still feeling a little bit reluctant.
"Sir, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Naturally, we didn't cause too many serious casualties in this case, but I don't want to hide from you. Just half a month ago, our brothers accidentally killed a tennis player, and also There are several other cases in the body, and I am afraid that this cannot be easily resolved by surrendering yourself as you said." Just when Lyndon Schneider was heartbroken, Dix on the side spoke.
Hearing his words, Josie choked on himself and coughed loudly.
