The old lady looked left and right for a while, looking a little sneaky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info She whispered: "Girl, since you have half Chinese blood in you, then you will definitely be able to understand our difficulties." Could you please help us talk to the officer and ask them to leave the case alone as if it didn't happen? ”

"What did you say?!" Lydia couldn't believe her ears.

"Shhhh Hush! Be quiet! The old lady jumped to her feet in a hurry, "Don't shout! ”

Lydia looked at the old lady in a daze, and then at the family behind her, but they all turned their heads and did not dare to look at her. Finally calming herself down, Lydia asked with a strained face, "Why?" Tell me your reasons. ”

The old lady said with a bitter face: "A girl, such a thing happened, if it spreads, who will dare to ask her in the future?" What's more, our family lives on that restaurant. I heard that the man had a lot of background. If the trouble is too fierce, what can those people do if they come to make trouble every day? ”

Lydia was stunned, she couldn't have imagined that this family would think like this. She turned around and said a few words to Jack. Then he turned back to the old lady and said, "This is Sheriff Jack here." He said that the suspect was just a thug and did not have any great background. ”

"That's not going to work!" The old lady hurriedly said, "We have all bathed the children and washed our clothes!" There is simply no evidence to prosecute him! ”

"So you know that doing so will destroy the evidence?!" Lydia's eyes widened again.

"This ......," the old lady muttered, speechless.

Zongheng had already heard it on the sidelines, and his lungs exploded. He couldn't help but say, "Why did you do this? Aren't you afraid that guy will come to the door again and again when he tastes the sweetness? ”

Don't look at the old lady who is cowardly like a mouse towards Lydia and Jack, but she really doesn't have any psychological pressure when facing the horizontal. Her eyes widened and she said, "Go!" Go! What do children understand?! ”

Zongheng was so angry that his hair stood on end. But he didn't want to talk to the old woman anymore, he walked up to the men in the house, and asked sharply: "My daughter has been harmed, I don't want to take revenge, I don't even show my face, let an old woman rush in front, are you still considered a man?!" ”

The two men, one old and one young, didn't dare to raise their heads, but just hugged the two boys and kept silent. When the two boys saw their fierce looks, they immediately cried in fright.

"Don't be impulsive!" Lydia hurriedly grabbed Zongheng so that he wouldn't lose control of his emotions and hurt someone. She knew the lethality of this boy very well. To this day, she occasionally remembers the horrific appearance of the female killer with a broken leg bone and a torn muscle in the stubble. In case of anger, impulsively hurting people...... Lydia shuddered.

Lydia said to the family, "I know that in your cultural background, it is a great shame for a girl to suffer such a thing. And you also believe that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized. But this is America, and we will never turn a blind eye to criminal behavior. Even in China, once a criminal case like ** is filed, it will never be withdrawn because the victim withdraws the case. I advise you to actively cooperate with the police investigation, otherwise, according to US law, your actions have been suspected of obstructing justice and other crimes, and the police can arrest you at any time. ”

At first, the two men thought that Lydia understood their plight and would speak for them, and a look of hope appeared on their faces. But then, the more they listened, the more frightened they became, and in the end they were even so frightened that their faces were pale, and they almost trembled.

"Oh my God! Why am I so miserable? The granddaughter has been offended so much, and she has to be arrested by the police? Behind Lydia and Zongheng, the old lady suddenly collapsed on the ground and howled.

This family is already eye-catching, and the old woman's howl is even more eye-catching.

The vertical and horizontal clearly saw contempt in the eyes of Jack and other cops. Incidentally, he even felt that he was also despised.

Zongheng clenched his fists tightly, resisting his urge to beat this family, turned around and walked away.

He went to the water dispenser in the hospital lobby and poured himself several glasses of water before extinguishing his burning anger.

It was a long wait before Lydia came over.

"Still angry?" Lydia asked, touching her hair.

Zongheng raised his hand to knock Lydia's hand away, and said, "It's not angry or not angry." It's not worth it! ”

Lydia sighed heavily and said, "In that case, let's go back!" In the evening, Dr. Woolf will come to the house for dinner and bring your examination report with you. It's still early, what would you like to have for lunch? ”

"How about going to a Chinese restaurant in the West End to eat?" Zongheng said.

Hearing such a request, Lydia was stunned. She was silent for a moment, and finally agreed, "Good! ”

Midwood Hospital is located in the heart of the old town, about a dozen minutes' drive from the West End, which has only been developed in recent years.

In terms of planning and architectural style, there is not much difference between the old and new towns. But as soon as the car entered the West End, graffiti appeared on the walls of the street from time to time, and the streets were littered with abusive and abusive young African-American and Latino youths, as well as police cars that drove from time to time, all showed the unrest of the area.

Lydia was unfamiliar with the area, so she called Jack and found the most famous Chinese restaurant in the area.

The restaurant is small in front of the "Peace Hotel", but the décor is very distinctive. In the most conspicuous position of the door, there is a glass standing cabinet, and in the cabinet is a long knife stuck in the stone. Illuminated by the light inside the cabinet, the long knife and its stone base shine brightly and artistically.

As soon as Zongheng saw this knife, his eyes shrank. He was a connoisseur of knives, and it was immediately clear that the knife had been pierced into a stone in an instant. This kind of stone is hard, and it is necessary to pierce the long knife without hurting the blade or splitting the stone, and it is necessary to make the person with the knife have a very strong foundation.

Asking himself, it wasn't difficult for him to do this at his peak physically. But now that his body has become a twelve-year-old, his original strength is not one in ten, and it is really more difficult to insert the knife into the stone so perfectly and fittingly.

It was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl who greeted her, and when she saw the two of them entering the door, she immediately greeted her.

"Welcome to Peace Hotel. Are you two? The waitress asked Lydia in English.

Lydia replied in Mandarin, "Yes." The two of us. ”

"It turns out that you also speak Chinese. Come in! I'll give you a seat. The waitress immediately laughed and changed to Chinese. It's just that her tone of voice in Chinese is very different from Lydia's, giving people the feeling of holding her throat to speak.

Following behind the maid, Zongheng whispered to Lydia, "Why does she speak Chinese differently than yours?" It feels a little strange. ”

Lydia said: "She is talking about Wanwan dialect, and she should not be an immigrant from the mainland. ”

Zongheng does not know much about contemporary history, nor does he understand the difference between "Wanwan" and the mainland. He just let out an "oh" and nodded his head as if he didn't understand, and then he got over the topic.

The two of them simply ordered a few dishes, and when they were drinking tea and waiting for the dishes to be served, they heard a discussion about the family in the hospital at the table next door.

"Have you heard about the old Zhao family?"

"Why haven't you heard of it? The Chinese circle in Midwood is so big, who doesn't know? ”

"If you want me to say, the surname Zhao is a wonderful family! The turtle grandson took a knife and made a family of seven to death. The two small ones don't count, the two big ones are just two castrations! Not a man! I heard that after the incident, they still thought about turning big things into small things and small things into nothing, and confused this matter. If it weren't for the fact that the little girl was too badly injured and the bleeding was difficult to stop, I'm afraid no one would know about it. ”

Hearing this, Zongheng and Lydia glanced at each other. Both of them knew that the conversation at the next table was indeed the family of the little girl who had been assaulted in the hospital.

"You're naïve! As far as the Chinese in our district are concerned, they can do business peacefully, and no one has ever come to the door to disturb them, only our boss Zhang. Why? It relies on the prestige that was played at the beginning. Those Latinos are better, and they are engaged in drugs, which has little to do with our Chinese business circles, and there is no conflict with each other. The most annoying thing is those, stupid, stupid and lazy, and they bully the soft and are afraid of the hard. In the face of these guys, whoever submits softly is stupid! You wait and see, the old Zhao family has a hard time when you turn around. When those saw that he was a bully, they didn't skin him and tear him apart, and I wrote the word upside down! ”

"You're teasing me, aren't you? The king character is written upside down, or a to! The other said very unhappily.

"Hey! Who made you struggle with this? I mean, if we Chinese don't learn from Boss Zhang, but learn from the old Zhao family, we will be bullied to death in this place in the West District! ”

Hearing this, Zongheng turned around and asked, "Two old men, what you just said was the robbery and rape that happened in the early hours of this morning?" ”

At the next table are two men who are about to enter old age, they are dressed in white chef clothes, there is only a plate of fried peanuts on the table, but there are still two glasses of wine, at first glance, you can tell that they are two good drinkers who like to drink a few glasses between work.

Seeing Zongheng ask about the conversation just now, the two looked at each other, and only then did one of them say, "This little friend, whose child are you?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”

This kind of conversation routine is all too familiar. In the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, when people were suddenly asked by others while chatting in private, they had to ask about the origin before deciding how to answer. Zongheng knew that if he couldn't answer to the satisfaction of the two men, they would never tell him half the truth.
