Chapter 32: Epilogue
"Earlier today, the FBI engaged in a fierce shootout with a gunman in front of a store located east of the city of Seattle. The FBI suffered heavy casualties due to the heavy body armor worn by the rioters, with two federal agents killed and three others seriously injured. It is noteworthy that a heroic federal agent drove into the rioters at a critical moment ......"
"SWAT's slow response, coupled with the lack of firepower from the firearms carried by the FBI, was the most direct cause of this tragedy, but I still noticed a heroic federal agent who stepped up in a critical moment......"
"It is alleged that it was not a federal agent who drove towards the suspect at that time, but a criminal police officer from RB - Hayashi Xiuyi Police Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, who was also involved in the investigation of the Green River killer case and played a decisive role in it, and the Seattle City Council announced that it would award Hayashi Xiuyi Police Department the title of Honorary Citizen......"
Lin Xiuyi, who was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital, did not expect that his heroic actions would win him a huge reputation. Lin Xiuyi's training in the United States still has about three months to go, and if nothing else, he has to stay in the hospital for these three months. But Lin Xiuyi didn't feel lonely at all. Since he was admitted to the hospital, he has been visited by a steady stream of people, in addition to Kenji Kanno, his liaison officer in the United States, as well as politicians and ordinary civic groups, but most often by colleagues from the Seattle bureau.
Luckily, because the FBI Seattle Branch solved the Green River Killer case, the $2 million reward would go to the federal agents involved in solving the case. The group led by Lin Xiuyi naturally became the lucky ones of this prize. He received $600,000, Sean took $400,000, and the rest of his colleagues involved in the case split the remaining $1 million. Although $600,000 is not a small amount of money, it is enough to buy a house in a remote area of Tokyo. At least after returning to RB, Lin Xiuyi didn't have to worry about money for a long time.
During the days of recuperation, Melanie and her daughter Natalie also came to visit Lin Xiuyi under the leadership of Sean, and their mother and daughter finally got back together after experiencing this series of unfortunate events, and the dead Mary left a child and became a new member of their family, because Mary's child was also a girl, so in honor of her mother, Melanie and Natalie gave her the same name as her mother.
"Thank you, Lin, thank you for everything you've done for me!" Melanie leaned over and kissed Lin Xiuyi on the forehead, and then Natalie, who met for the first time, also kissed her in the same position.
Can you tell me what happened at the beginning? By the way, what's going on between you and Mary? Lin Xiuyi curiously asked Natalie, who they met for the first time, about Mary.
"My mom and I had a big fight, and it didn't take long for me to meet Mary after I left home. She just needed someone to take care of her children, and I needed a place to live, so we lived together. Mary is a good person, she is very good to me, she works in a fast food restaurant during the day, and she has to work late, but there are too many things that children need, and the price is expensive, and we gradually can't make ends meet......"
"One day when we came back from the city, the car broke down on the road, and we couldn't afford to pay for the taxi, so we had to take a ride back, but who would have thought that we would meet the Green River killer......
"When Mary and I found out that something was wrong, it was too late, and Mary desperately stopped the guy and told me to leave with his child. But then, I was kidnapped by Lynn Spencer......"
Natalie recounted her experience in fits and starts, and when he met Lynn Spencer, he was immediately placed under house arrest. However, what kind of injury did Natalie suffer during that time, Lin Xiuyi did not ask.
Accompanied by Melanie's family and Sean, Lin Xiuyi spent a warm afternoon. Everyone agreed to meet together at Melanie's house on Thanksgiving, and Sean and Lin Xiuyi both promised to visit at that time. Sean is divorced, and he also said that he would wait until Thanksgiving to bring his daughter over and introduce her to Lin Xiuyi.
After seeing off Melanie's family, Sean talked to Lin Xiuyi about Lynn Spencer's case in the hospital room.
"Lin, do you remember when I told you about a madman who randomly killed people on Highway 90 with a gun ten years ago?" Sean asked Lin Xiuyi in a low voice.
"Remember, what, could it be that the murderer is this Lynn Spencer?" Lin Xiuyi asked in surprise.
"It's not entirely certain yet, but we've found a sniper rifle in this bastard's house, and after a ballistic comparison, it's confirmed that it's the one used by the Highway 90 killer ten years ago!"
"This world is really small, is it ten years ago, is it the time when Lynn Spencer was kicked back to China for a rape case in South Korea......" Lin Xiuyi lay on the bed and recalled the information in his mind, he really didn't expect this guy to be a Highway 90 killer.
"Lin, I spoke to the NCC, and it is said that Lynn Spencer was stabbed there with a sharp object by the victim in the last rape case...... I guess that's why this guy is so honest after returning to China......" Sean smiled evilly at Lin Xiuyi, Lin Xiuyi understood that the wicked finally had evil retribution. However, after this guy returned to China, he used the skills he got from the army to those perverts and ** on Route 90. I guess it's to vent my dissatisfaction.
……
After Lin Xiuyi stayed in the hospital for a month, he temporarily returned home because he was recovering well. At Melanie's invitation, Lin Xiuyi quit his apartment in Seattle and lived in Melanie's home for two months as a tenant. And spent Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas here, and fully experienced the life of Americans. Under the careful care of Melanie's family, Lin Xiuyi gradually recovered.
As his body gets better day by day, the day when Lin Xiuyi returns to China is approaching day by day. Speaking of which, this trip to the United States has really gained a lot. He cracked two big cases, got to know the Shaun and Melanie families, and was rewarded with a $600,000 bonus. In order to thank Melanie's family for taking care of them in the past two months, Lin Xiuyi left a sum of money for Little Mary, about 80,000 US dollars. In addition, he crashed the rented GTR and had to pay more than $10,000 to the rental car company.
On the day Lin Xiuyi left Seattle, many people came to see him off. On behalf of the Seattle Bureau, Director Musk gave Lin Xiuyi a custom-made Rolex gold watch. On the back of the case is engraved a line of small letters, which is given to Seattle's best federal agent, Lin Xiuyi.
