Chapter 39 John Lebile's Surprise
"Mr. Kahn, are you okay?" Seeing Josie's sudden violent cough, Linden Schneider and Dix asked with concern.
After all, Josie is almost becoming their only hope now.
"Ahem, it's okay, I just choked on my saliva." After waving her hands to indicate that she was okay, Josie then turned her attention to Dix and looked him up and down.
It turned out to be a good guy.
Forgive him for not recognizing it before.
There was no way, the place where he was hiding that night was dozens of meters away from the people, and it was early in the morning, and the street lights in this era were extremely dim, so it was impossible for Josie to see the faces of the people. It's normal to come out.
"Sir, is my situation embarrassing you? It's okay. I can leave now. Mr. Lyndon Schneider has nothing to do with my previous case. Let him turn himself in!" Dix saw Josie staring at Seeing it for myself, I couldn't help but stood up and said.
"That's not necessary." Josie said thoughtfully, "If you have other cases on your body, it's indeed a little troublesome, but it's not a big problem. If it's really not possible, I'll help you get a boat, and you can go to Canada to hide first." , wait until the limelight passes."
If it was before, Josie wouldn't bother to care about this big man named Dix, even if Linden Schneider didn't know his father, he wouldn't bother to care about him, let alone the other party once pointed a gun at himself.
But the fact that the other party is a good guy who helped him take the blame, moved back a little bit of Josie's favor, and what he said just now to defend Lyndon Schneider surprised Josie even more.
Because according to what Lyndon Schneider said just now, although he and Dix's group are accomplices in this case, they have actually known each other for less than a week.
It was just a pure employment relationship—according to their agreement, the jewelry worth several hundred belonged entirely to Lyndon Schneider, and Dix and the others only charged a fixed fee of 20,000 U.S. dollars per person.
However, with the fixed fee of 20,000 yuan, not only did Dix and the others not have the slightest covetousness for those jewels, but they also desperately protected Linden Schneider, who was just a little old man.
Still defending Lyndon Schneider even now.
This was simply beyond Josie's imagination.
What the **** are the gangsters of this era so loyal?
Isn't it the correct operation for this kind of gangster to kill the little old man Linden and run away with jewelry?
"Will this be too troublesome?" Dix was also surprised to hear Josie's words.
"Normally speaking, it would be more troublesome, but in this case, you are not the focus. The focus is on Mr. Schneider and his jewelry. As long as he surrenders himself, there will be no pressure from the Lebiler family and the insurance company. I hope that the case will be closed immediately, when the martial law in the city is lifted, this matter will be simple, so before that, you still have to hide for a while." Josie explained.
"If that's the case, then I would be very grateful to Mr. Kahn." Hearing Josie's words, Dix, who had been tense all day and night, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back on the sofa again.
Just sat down, and then covered his waist, breathing in and out.
"Are you injured?" Josie frowned upon seeing this, and then saw that the other party had lifted his coat, and the waist of the shirt underneath had already been soaked in red.
"It's okay, it's just scratched by a bullet, and it's been bandaged before." Dix shook his head and said.
Josie didn't believe a word of what he said.
How could it be that the scratches ooze so much blood? And it hurts so much that people are sweating?
"Your injury can't be delayed any longer. If it doesn't stop bleeding, there will be big problems." Josie looked at the other's wound and said, "But your luck is good."
Immediately, Josie walked into the bedroom, and came out with a medicine box after a while...Of course, only Josie knew that he actually took the medicine box out of the system space.
As a traveler, pity is a basic operation.
Even in the relatively stable United States, it is not a bad thing to be more prepared.
Especially if you have system space, you are not afraid of too many things or expiration.
Open the medicine box, there are some simple utensils and gauze, in addition, there are some drugs, including morphine and sulfa.
No penicillin.
Although Alexander Fleming had invented penicillin in 1928, it was not taken seriously at first.
It was already 1940 when the pathological effect of penicillin was really confirmed.
And it was only last year, that is, in 1942, that it was actually included in the planned production by American pharmaceutical companies.
Even until now, penicillin is actually still in the clinical stage.
When penicillin was available on the market, it was also directly included in the federal government's control of drugs.
So the only good antibacterial drug available in the world is sulfonamide.
The three big men in the room are not professional doctors, so the way to treat Dix's wounds is also very simple and rude, let him bite the rag, sprinkle sulfa powder on him, and inject him with 5 mg of morphine to relieve the wound. Put gauze on.
There is no doubt that morphine is very addictive, but the dosage is very important.
According to later studies, less than 5 mg is a relatively safe dosage.
The reason why a large number of soldiers in World War I and World War II became addicted was mainly due to the injection of dozens of milligrams in order to save their lives.
"This is the only way to deal with it for the time being. You can stay here and rest for the time being. I will try to find a doctor later. Mr. Schneider, please come with me to see Mr. Leibiler." After Dix treated the wound, Josie said.
He's done what he can, and the rest is up to Dix himself.
"Thank you, sir!" Dix thanked very seriously.
"Hehe, thank you!" Josie smiled slightly, but Dix was confused.
Josie didn't explain, and left with Schneider.
But before leaving, Josie made a phone call to confirm the location of John Lebile.
After all, it is not an ordinary theft case. It involves Emory, a well-known top barrister in Chicago, and the other party is also a partner of the Leibil family for decades, so it is necessary to inform Mr. Leibil in advance. .
Especially if you want Linden Schneider to reduce the penalty, the attitude of Lebile, the subject, is very important.
At this time, John Lebile is still busy because of the theft last night.
Although the direct loss caused by the theft of jewelry will be borne by the insurance publicity, those gems are also a very important part of the supply reserves of the jewelry group under Lebile. It is not easy to replenish, especially during the current war. .
So when the secretary reported that Josie made an appointment, he didn't really want to see him.
But thinking about Josie's limelight last night and the newspaper content I read this morning, I understand that Josie has been declared an anti-French XX hero, and the general situation has basically come to fruition.
So after a little consideration, he agreed to Josie's appointment.
It's just that he didn't expect that Josie would bring him such a huge surprise.
