Chapter 641 The last piece of the puzzle
“Nelson Zhou doesn’t look like the kind of person who needs help.” Danny complained, “Is it possible that he has worked here before?”
< br>"If that's the case, I will definitely have an impression." Nicholas Zheng said and 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. This kind of Sometimes they believe 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 started to ramble seemingly casually, "So, do you have any connection with those street gangsters here?"
Nicholas Zheng didn't seem to understand. His hint, of course, may be intentional, "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?"
"No."
While the conversation between the two continued, Jack quietly disappeared into the aisle and appeared in He walked up the stairs on the other side and entered a room at the end of the corridor.
This looks like the waiting room of a gynecological clinic. It is full of Asian women who come for treatment. Many of them have big bellies. There are only a few men who look like they are accompanying family members. .
The walls of the waiting room are pasted with various posters that look like legal knowledge 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 it would be a disaster. The other party immediately panicked and screamed in panic, but he didn't listen at all. I don't know what she shouted.
"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 succession, but the other party was frightened and stood up. He stepped back, waving his hands in panic, as if he was completely unable to communicate.
What the hell is this? 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 looked calm and smiling before, brought With a little concealed panic, he rushed in.
"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 dedicated to providing free medical treatment to patients who cannot afford medical expenses.”
When Jack walked into the waiting room before, he didn’t attract anyone’s attention. The receptionist and Nicholas Zheng's slightly excessive reaction at this time caused quite a commotion.
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, don't be nervous, relax, I'm just taking a look." Jack turned around and slowed down slightly as he passed the table against the wall. He calmly took out an advertisement and stuffed it into his 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 Spencer Reid and Christian Wolff in this world. , Justin and other evil geniuses are in front of them, so there is no need for me to hide them 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 Harvard law degree 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 cannot afford an abortion, you can put your child up for adoption. Institution, get some, uh, subsidies. "
Jack translated 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 means almost the same thing. Although it’s a roundabout way, it’s still translated into Chinese by Google, but the meaning is pretty much the same.” Jack nodded.
Danny rubbed his eyebrows that were about to become knotted and sighed, "So, we are still missing the last piece of the puzzle. According to yesterday's plan, we should go find that Yijun Liu Wen Asked about the situation, she was drinking during work during the day It seems that the building is also on the street."
"How about we have a simple work meal?" It was already noon. Jack smelled the delicious food on the street and patted his hungry belly. , looking 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 tenderloin and a portion of spinach in soup. Danny held his chopsticks awkwardly and almost buried his head in it. In the rice bowl.
"You can 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 go with her. Anyone who talks too much will be treated as your informant fee.
You only have one chance. As long as you cooperate, you won’t have to go out on the street at night anymore and you can feel at ease as a normal person in this country. Live on, understand? ”
Seeing that she was speechless for a long time with her mouth open in shock, Jack pushed a bowl of rice in front of her and knocked on the table, "Let's 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 puzzled and asked rather belatedly.
Jack shrugged, not knowing how to explain it. Helping people is a technical job, and it mainly depends on whether the person being helped is worth helping. This girl knows how to shed tears, and she seems to understand what he means. .
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 was supported by the latter with quick eyes and hands.
“Okay, in your traditional culture, you only kneel to the heaven and earth, the king, the master, and the 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, I have known Mintae Kim for two years. She comes from the countryside of Jeonju, South Korea. She is prettier than me and is very popular with the customers. But more than half a year ago, she accidentally got pregnant. , after losing one income, her life became very difficult.
I also wanted to help her, but we are both undocumented and uninsured. They said it would cost at least 2,500 US dollars to go to the hospital for an abortion. We have no connections and we don’t dare to borrow money from people like Nelson Zhou. We have seen the fate of the women who owe them money.”
Yijun Liu whispered while wiping her tears. But the more she rubbed, the more she applied. "But after they found out that Mintai was pregnant, they took the initiative to find her, and even provided a clinic that was said to provide free physical examinations for pregnant women."
