The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

"Nelson Zhou doesn't look like the kind of person who needs help." Danny complained, "Is it possible that he has worked here before?"

"If that's the case, I will definitely have an impression." Nicholas Zheng said as he sat down at his desk, opened the computer and looked up the files with a very enthusiastic look.

"Sorry, we don't have Nelson Zhou here, it's C-h-i-u, right?"

The two police detectives who came to the door didn't expect to get any useful information from him. At this time, they believed more in their own eyes.

Jack winked at Danny, took two steps back without leaving a trace, stood in the aisle and looked around.

Danny received the hint and began to ramble seemingly casually, "So is there any connection between you here and those street gangsters?"

Nicholas Zheng didn’t seem to understand his hint. Of course, he might not have done so on purpose. “We are funding a midnight basketball project with the purpose of guiding those teenagers back to the right path.”

"What about the name Mintai? Do you have any impression?" Danny continued to ask.

"It sounds like a Korean girl's name. Let me check." Nicholas Zheng narrowed his eyes, still looking like a good old man with a smile.

"Do you know her last name?"

"have no idea."

While the conversation between the two continued, Jack quietly disappeared into the corridor, appeared at the stairs on the other side, and entered a room at the end of the corridor.

It looked like the waiting room of a gynecology clinic. It was filled with Asian women who came for treatment, many with big bellies. There were only a few men who looked like they were accompanying family members.

The walls of the waiting room are pasted with various posters that look like legal information but are actually soft advertisements for immigration agencies. There are also various advertising pamphlets on a table against the wall at the door.

Jack walked up to the front desk. She was a Chinese woman in her early 40s. The reason why he could recognize her at a glance was because her dress reminded him of the 1980s and 1990s of the last century.

"Hello." Jack showed his signature smile to the front desk, but he didn't expect that this time he was met with misfortune. The other party immediately panicked and screamed in panic, but he couldn't understand what she was shouting. What.

"Uh, don't get excited. I just want to find out if a pregnant woman named Mintai has been treated here." Jack changed three or four dialects in a row, but the other party was so frightened that he stood up and backed away, waving his hands in panic. , looking completely unable to communicate.

Damn, this is a ghost. A deep sense of frustration arose in Jack's heart. At this time, hurried footsteps also sounded in the corridor. Nicholas Zheng, who had always smiled and looked calm before, was slightly panicked. , rushed in headfirst.

"Sorry, you can't come in here, at least not now!"

"Why?" Danny, who was following behind, said, secretly spreading his hands to Jack, indicating that he couldn't stop him by force.

"This place is designed to provide free medical care to patients who cannot afford medical care."

When Jack walked into the waiting room before, he didn't attract anyone's attention. Instead, he caused quite a commotion because of the slightly overreaction of the receptionist and Nicholas Zheng.

Some pregnant women subconsciously protected their bellies, got up and hid in corners.

"I just want to visit, what's the problem?" Jack pretended to be confused.

Nicholas Zheng forced a smile on his face, lowered his voice and tried to explain, "Many patients here are illegal immigrants. You will scare them."

"Please, please get out of here, please, please, please get out of here."

"Okay, okay, don't be nervous, relax, I'm just taking a look." Jack turned around, slowed down slightly, and when passing the table against the wall, he calmly took out an advertisement and stuffed it in own pocket.

——

"What is this? So you can not only speak Chinese, but you can even understand these weird square characters?"

When Danny walked out of the Bejie Charity Club, he saw Jack flipping through the advertising flyer in his hand. Danny looked at Jack with a bit of admiration in his eyes this time, a bit like a scumbag looking up to a top student.

"Yes, not only these square characters, I can also understand Cyrillic letters and Latin." Jack did not shy away from it. Anyway, there are evil geniuses like Spencer Reid, Christian Wolfe, and Justin in this world. With Zhuyu in front of me, there is no need to hide it all the time.

"OK, what does it say?" Danny mentally crossed off the last item on the comparison list with Jack for his brother. It seemed that a law degree from Harvard University was nothing special.

"This is an advertisement for an adoption agency. It says that if you are a single pregnant woman with an unexpected pregnancy, or you are married but cannot afford childcare, or even an abortion, you can send your child to an adoption agency and get some... uh .Subsidy.”

Jack translated it word for word. Although it was in traditional Chinese and it was machine-translated Chinese, it was not a problem for him.

"Subsidy? Does it mean money?" Danny frowned again.

"It's almost the same meaning. Although it's a roundabout way of saying it, it's still translated into Chinese by Google, but the meaning is pretty much the same." Jack nodded.

Danny helped himself to rub the knotted eyebrows, and sighed, "So, we are still missing the last piece of the puzzle. According to yesterday's plan, we should go to Yijun Liu to ask about the situation. She works during the day It seems that the restaurant is also on Wu Street."

"How about we have a simple work meal?" It was already noon. Jack smelled the fragrant food all over the street, patted his hungry belly, and looked at the restaurants with neon signs.

——

Jack's simple working meal consisted of four dishes and one soup, boiled fish, rock sugar elbow, kale heart, sizzling beef fillet and a portion of spinach in soup. Danny held his chopsticks awkwardly and almost buried his head in it. In the rice bowl.

"You should have some too." Jack glanced at the girl who had been standing there timidly after they called her into the box, wearing a restaurant cheongsam-style uniform.

"No, the boss will lose his temper." Yijun Liu shook his head desperately.

Jack sighed, took out his FBI ID and showed it in front of her, and said in Chinese, "It's okay, I will help you with everything from your identity to your job and even your new residence, but you can't talk to anyone, just treat it as It's your informant fee.

You only have one chance. As long as you cooperate, you no longer have to go out and stand on the street at night. You can live in this country as a normal person with peace of mind. Do you understand? "

Seeing her mouth open in shock and speechless for a long time, Jack pushed a bowl of rice in front of her and knocked on the table, "Sit down and eat first."

"What's wrong with her?" Seeing that the girl had been crying since she sat down to eat, Danny looked confused and asked rather belatedly.

Jack shrugged and didn't know how to explain it. Helping people is a technical job, and the main thing is to see whether the person being helped is worth helping. This girl knew how to shed tears, so she seemed to understand what he meant.

The girl named Yijun Liu finished the rice in the bowl in three mouthfuls with trembling hands, stood up from her seat, knelt down with a thud and was about to kowtow to Jack, but the latter quickly held her in his arms.

"Okay, in your traditional culture, you only kneel to the Lord of Heaven and Earth, your master, and your master. If you say hello to me, live your life well in the future, and don't let my expectations be disappointed."

"Sir, thank you." Yijun Liu choked with tears. She didn't understand why the man in front of her had a foreign face, but the way he spoke and acted was just like the teacher in her rural primary school. If she had...

"Okay, sit down and talk. I'll ask you questions and tell us everything you know." Jack switched back to English that Danny could understand.

"Actually, Mintae Kim and I have known each other for two years. She comes from the countryside in Jeonju, South Korea. She is better-looking than me and is very popular with the customers. But more than half a year ago, she accidentally got pregnant and lost an income. After that, life became very difficult for her.

I also want to help her, but we are both undocumented and uninsured. Going to the hospital for an abortion was said to cost at least US$2,500. We have no means and dare not borrow money from people like Nelson Zhou. We have seen money owed to them. The fate of those women. "

Yijun Liu narrated in a low voice while wiping her tears, but the tears became more and more, "But after they found out that Mintai was pregnant, they took the initiative to find her, and also provided a clinic that was said to provide free physical examinations for pregnant women. .”
