Chapter Twenty-Six: Silence
"Monteke, a border town in San Antonio, cracked a drug-product transportation case, and it is reported that the scene of the case seized more than half a ton of drug-product is conservatively estimated to be more than half a ton, which is the largest drug== product transportation case cracked in San Antonio this year. In this case, nearly 100 police and bandits fought fiercely, with four local black gangs killed, six Mexican drug dealers killed, and one police officer killed and one seriously injured. β
"I'm so sorry that I haven't seen the report from the ground, but I have to say, looking at the numbers alone, let me pay tribute to the police officers who are fighting in the small towns around the border, and also to the FBI who work for us every day."
On the TV screen, the scene in the AMC news live broadcast room turned into a live report inserted into the screen, and a short-haired woman in a red professional uniform stood in the screen with a microphone in her hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, during the joint operation between the FBI and the Montek police, a garbage recycling truck full of garbage was seized, and the cans, beverage bottles, and waste cartons in the vehicle were all filled with drugs. Since the case had just ended, forensic officers had not yet had time to identify the drugs, but experienced FBI told us that the drugs were likely to be more than 80% pure. β
"The garbage truck behind me and the garbage dump that was just unloaded next to it are poison trucks, and they use people's aversion to garbage to hide themselves......"
At this moment, a police car slowly drove back from a distance, and when the man in the police car wearing a suit and licking his stomach got out of the car and picked up a black woman from the back seat of the car, the reporter quickly rushed over: "SIR, I heard that someone in the police was injured, is it the injured person in your arms?" The reporter didn't have time to see what the person who was picked up looked like, she just heard from the FBI at the scene that a police officer was injured, and the result was ......
"Get out!"
Drake yelled at the reporter with a black face, and the reporter was suddenly stunned by the angry Drake......
In the picture, Derek holds Christina's body and hands it into the hands of a Chinese police officer, and says in a deep voice: "The rules of the Montek Police Station are that no matter whose partner leaves us, her partner will personally send her back, so that her soul will be at ease on the way to heaven." β
The Chinese police officer took the body like a fool, standing motionless and looking at Drake.
"Go ahead, let her go home in peace."
At the urging of Derek several times over the weekend, he walked to the police car that was not driving out, and as was customary, put Christina in the passenger seat, at that time, Heisenberg and Joey got into the back seat of the car: "Zhou, let's go back with her." β
At this point, the AMC news live room appeared on the screen again, and the host said very seriously: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you are busy turning the table, or want to say something to the Montek police, please listen to my explanation." The woman who died was the only female patrol officer in Montek, she had a father who was serving a prison sentence and was not yet halfway through her sentence, and a child with autism, and the departure of this policewoman was tantamount to the destruction of a family, which is why the Montek police station would say such things to reporters. β
"If you really want to have such a police officer around you who can work hard for social security, please respect him, instead of choosing whether his behavior will be forgiven."
"Next, please see, the reporter's interview with the FBI agent......"
In a house in the black quarter, Drake was sitting on the couch, next to Christina's mother, who had moved from a sitting position to leaning forward after seeing the news.
The old lady's eyes were already piercing the screen, and the impact was so strong that she forgot how to grieve.
"De, Director, Director Derick......" The old lady changed her title several times in a row.
"You can call it anything." Drake said.
Sitting on the other side of the couch on the weekend, he didn't know what to say, and he was most afraid of this situation in his life, it was a scene that made your brain tingle and felt that it was not right no matter how you did it.
"Sue me this is not true, sue me that Chinese young man......" The old lady just remembered that there was a Chinese sitting in her room: "It's you, you sue me Christina was sent to the hospital by you, sue me for a miracle, sue me for the first half of the news, and now Kerry is lying on a high-risk hospital bed waiting for a second miracle to come...... Say! β
The old lady didn't dare to hope that her daughter had turned the corner, and she was even willing to accept that the daughter who came back every day to talk back to her was lying in the high-risk ward, at least, she was still alive.
βIβMοΌSORRYγβ
Weekend bowed his head, he had spent the whole night with Derick in the bureau yesterday, and the two of them were in a daze in the director's office, neither of them knew how to explain to Christina's mother, and in the end, they chose to come during the day instead of knocking on the door in the middle of the night. They are afraid that the old lady will not be able to accept it, this family already has autism, if it ...... Neither he nor Drake dared to think about it, but at the same time he was sure that the other had thought of it.
"She can't die in vain."
When the old lady faced the weekend's apology, she suddenly said this, and the whole person slowly got up under the gaze of Derick and the weekend, and walked towards the door.
Click.
She opened the door under the watchful eyes of the two people in the room, and the old lady chose to ignore it when several police cars and a dozen policemen appeared in front of her at the door.
Walking out, she walked around the yard to the door of her neighbor's house and slammed the door hard......
When, when, when.
"Come out!"
Next.
When, when, when.
"Come out!"
The old lady's screams were a little dazed, and every black family came out of the room with a state of confusion.
When Weekend and Derick walked out after them, they saw that they were helpless, and Weekend rushed over to apologize to the neighbor: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive her......"
Heisenberg reacted at this time, and immediately followed and picked up the old lady.
There are more and more people watching the excitement on the streets, black people like to get together, the old lady is making a fuss, everyone in the block who has nothing to do has come over, even the people who are wiping the car have begun to look this way, for a while, at least 20 people have gathered on the street, and the number is still increasing.
"Let go of me, I have something to say!"
The old lady struggled in Heisenberg's arms.
"Put her down and let her speak."
Drake knows the pain of losing a loved one, and when he loses Charlie and has nowhere to vent, he has insomnia all night long, and he doesn't even dare to close his eyes. He didn't want Christina's mother to be like this, he wanted to help the woman who was in sympathy with the disease to vent, didn't he just want to talk? The entire Montec police station is almost here, and I'm afraid that the scene will be chaotic?
As Heisenberg slowly lowered her, the people on the street began to gather more and more.
Seeing more and more people, the old lady slowly tidied up the pajamas on her body, she always likes to wear such loose clothes at home to cover her fat body.
"My daughter is dead." The old lady said the first words, and her voice was soft.
"I don't know under what circumstances she died, and I don't want to know. The only thing I know is that she didn't deserve to die. β
The old lady raised her voice a little and continued: "You are all my neighbors, you all know Christina, you all smile and say hello every morning when she goes to work, you will secretly say bad things about other people when she comes home from work, whose music is disturbing, whose dog is pooping on your lawn, which bastard has stayed in your door for too long and you suspect him of being a thief. Is that right? Most of the people here knocked on my door and said some. β
"Now you sue me, will this Christina, who once helped you turn off the neighbor's stereo and drive away the thugs at the door, will you be truly grateful?"
"I swear, even if she's dead, you're just a little confused and think that this old guy is standing at his doorstep and can't stand the stimulation and is going crazy!"
"Why is this happening? Why did the security of Montek be exchanged for human lives??!! β
The old lady looked at every black man with hateful eyes!
"Who can tell me the answer!"
All the black people present looked up at the old lady, and over the weekend they found that there was no expression on their faces, and there was not even any change, which was completely different from the guys in the American drama who were indignant when they saw the speech. At this time, they are numb, and the numbness is chilling.
"Can anyone sue me, if you parents keep an eye on your own children and don't let them show up with Evan Busdale, will there be thefts in the black neighborhood with Evan alone?"
"Who can sue me that if the children on the street are not influenced by you adults and think that black people are inherently unpromising and discriminated against, will they show up in school to fight for their future?"
"Who can sue me, if you yourself work in peace and security, and don't live by cheating government relief money and insurance, why do these white people call this a slum !!?"
The old lady was disappointed: "You don't! β
"You will vent the slightest grievance at work with a kind of racial disagreement, and you will go to Evan's casino to play two games every day with the words 'If you are given a chance, you will definitely become the next Oba Horse'."
"It's not that whites have given up on blacks, from the Civil War to today, the status of blacks in this country has never declined, but has improved step by step."
"You're ruining yourselves, sociologists are studying why blacks are poor, humanists are thinking about why there must be gangs where there are blacks, do you use these topics to study?"
"It's all----it's because !! lazy"
"Growing a big plant - hemp energy can bring more income than going to Walmart for a day; Going to the street to grab a wallet is always more majestic than going to work in a restaurant; Selling poison to others -- and calling them damn poison -- worms will make you feel noble......"
"Then don't complain about anyone discriminating against you!"
"Why did Christina die?"
"Even if she doesn't die, there will be another black person to die, not every black person wants the black district to become like this, there will always be a black person who stands up and does his best, even if he dies, he will change this qiΔ, but what about you! What you have done, you will destroy him completely, because all of you are reaching out and grabbing his feet and dragging him into hell!! β
"You should be the ones who should die!"
"It's you moths!"
The old lady sat on the ground and sobbed in front of all the onlookers: "Why don't you all die!" β
Silent.
