Chicago.

Federal Social Security Agency, Chicago Branch.

"Good morning, Tom. ”

"Good morning, Abby. Oh, by the way, here's a letter to the bureau that I think will be of great interest to you. ”

"What letter?"

"Remember yesterday when you and Agent Sellinger went to visit that lady named Gingi Gallagher?"

"Of course. ”

In the office, a middle-aged woman, as soon as she walked in, saw a colleague hand her a letter, untied the scarf around her neck, and chatted casually, but soon her attention was attracted to it.

"This Gingi Gallagher, according to the records, is 93 years old and still receiving social security, which is very abnormal. ”

Saying this, Abby shrugged her shoulders, and her colleague smiled in agreement.

Longevity has always been linked to living standards, medical conditions, etc., but Jinji Gallagher lives in a slum like Chicago's South Side, and the 93-year-old is too glaring in the table.

Abby continued: "I suspected that someone was making a false payment to her social security, so I went for a visit.

The first time I went, Ginger Gallagher was not there, and her nephew's family lived in the property in her name, and I made an appointment to visit again a few days ago with Agent Sellinger.

This time, Gingi Gallagher was there, but she had Alzheimer's disease, and my inquiry could not be continued.

Although there are all kinds of group photos in the room, I always feel that there is a problem, but because there is no evidence, I have to give up, but after half a year, I will go back again. ”

"No need, Abby. ”

Colleague Tom smiled: "Your guess is right, look at the contents of the envelope, this Gallagher must have offended someone, and it must be someone very familiar." ”

"Hah!got you!"

Abby opened the envelope and exclaimed in surprise: "I knew I wouldn't guess wrong, they really had a problem, they dared to take federal social security funds for more than ten years, and deliberately deceived federal staff, this time, I want to see what this arrogant Frank Gallagher has to say!"

A few days ago, when they visited Gallagher's house, Frank teased them in various ways, but Abby was deeply impressed, and now found out that Frank had committed a federal felony, and Abby was overjoyed.

Moreover, as a social security worker, she found out this kind of fraudulent federal social security in the thick form with her excellent eyesight, which is also a great achievement.

"Perhaps, that's more than that. ”

My colleague Tom reminded: "After reading the letter, I checked this Frank Gallagher and found that he was an unemployed drunkard, and the death of Gingy Gallagher must be investigated." ”

"You mean ......"

Abby's expression became serious.

Fraudulent receipt of federal social security benefits and deliberately defrauding federal workers are both felonies, but they are very different from premeditated murder.

"Not bad. ”

Tom nodded, "This Frank has no source of livelihood, he's an alcoholic, and he's a homeless man if he doesn't have a house and social security payments from Gingy Gallagher."

Killing people for money is too much of a chance for him to be an alcoholic, so if you go again, be sure to go with Agent Salinger and tell him all these speculations to be safe. ”

"Well, you're right. ”

Abby was startled, put down her bag and sat down, operated on the computer for a while, and found the news that the local TV station interviewed the nursing home a few days ago, and saw the face of the old lady inside, and couldn't help sneering: "Sure enough, I was looking for someone to pretend!"

"David Sellinger. ”

"Hello, David, I'm Abby. ”

"Hi Abby, what's the matter?"

"That's right, the ...... we visited a few days ago"

After Abby personally confirmed that the contents of the envelope were true, she immediately called the federal agent David Sellinger and told her all about it.

"I know, I'll contact the Southern District Police and check it out immediately. ”

David Sellinger was shaken by the spirits.

This kind of potential murder is the one that is easy to achieve, but it must be notified to the local police first.

Don't look at the FBI, it is very high, but it is not subordinate to the local police, and the FBI has no jurisdiction over this kind of local and cross-state cases.

Of course, because David provided it to the local police, he also had a share of credit for solving the case when the time came.

Southern District Police Station.

Smack!

"Guys, there's a case. ”

The sheriff clapped his hands, drew the attention of all the officers, explained the matter, and then assigned the task: "Martin, Tony, you are in charge of this case, now go and arrest Frank Gallagher and bring him back to the police station." ”

"Yes, Sheriff. ”

"Yes, Sheriff......"

A young police officer looked hesitant.

The sheriff turned a blind eye and reminded: "This case is under the attention of federal agents, and the felonies of Frank Gallagher fraudulently receiving social security and deliberately defrauding federal workers have been investigated, so what you have to do is to find out the relationship between Frank Gallagher and Gingy Gallagher's death, and don't embarrass us police, understand?"

"Yes, Sheriff!×2!"

A police car pulls out of the Southern District Police Station.

"Tony, be happy. ”

"Martin, you know ......"

"I know, I know. ”

Martin, a black police officer, said as he drove, "I'm not surprised that Frank Gallagher, this old bastard, is well-known in our precinct, and that he did anything that he did."

I also know that you like his eldest daughter, Fiona, are you afraid that she will be sad, or are you afraid that she will be hostile to you because you arrested her father?"

"It's all there. ”

Tony smiled wryly.

He is still a beast man, and he really doesn't have much ability to resist the beautiful, virtuous and housekeeper, but the bohemian Fiona, who has been his goddess for so many years, and he doesn't care about Frank's life or death at all, just worried about the goddess Fiona.

Martin shook his head and said, "You are wrong, this matter is a blessing or a curse for you and the children of the Gallagher family, we are all familiar with the Gallagher family."

Frank sat firmly in prison, emotionally, except for the fourth Debbie, the other children of the Gallagher family actually didn't care. They were just worried that the house would be taken away.

Fiona may be worried that the younger siblings she raised will be taken away by child protection agencies because they have no guardians, but in this way, she has also let go of the burden she has carried over the years and can enjoy life to the fullest.

And the other children who were taken away may have a different future, like now, with a pair of rotten parents like Frank and Monica, dragged by a pair of rotten parents, at a young age, all of them are veterans of stealing and abduction, if it weren't for your face, you would have been arrested close to the juvenile detention center, such a growth environment, when you grow up, 99% of them are the same as Frank, rotten to death in the slums of the South District.

It's not as good as it is now, everyone is scattered, each does not drag down, and the lucky and smart ones, such as Lipp Gallagher, as long as they do not die, have a good chance of getting rid of the southern side completely. ”

"You're right. ”

Tony was impressed, but still a little sullen.

Because once Fiona is not dragged down by these younger siblings, the chances of getting together with him are only smaller.

"Huh. ”

Martin glanced at Tony, no longer persuaded him, but smiled and said to himself, "Actually, I'm more interested in who did such a good deed......"
