Chapter 20: Chinatown, Uncle Seven
Under the guidance of navigation, Lin Cheng drove nearly two hours through Brooklyn and all the way to the suburb of Long Island City.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, the silver-gray BMW X5 was parked in the parking lot of the North Shore University Hospital in Long Island City, and here, at the agreed meeting place of Aunt Lin, Lin Cheng saw a young man of his own age.
The other party stood at the entrance of the hospital building, wearing a yellow jacket, which contrasted sharply with the black suit on Lin Cheng's body, full of young people's vitality.
Similarly, after seeing Lin Cheng following Aunt Lin, the young man was also very interested in Lin Cheng.
"Aunt Lin, this is-"
"Zhihao, this is Ah Cheng, I'll bring him to see your grandfather."
Seeing Aunt Lin's eyes, Lin Cheng nodded understandingly, and immediately took the initiative to reach out his hand, and the other party also held Lin Cheng's hand with a simple handshake.
"Hello, I'm Lin Cheng."
"Hello, my name is Wu Zhihao, are you Aunt Lin's family?"
"Is this, huh...... Sort of, barely. ”
Hearing the other party's name, Lin Cheng instinctively felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Wu Zhihao didn't make much expression, just smiled and shook hands with Lin Cheng, and his attention was still on Aunt Lin.
"Aunt Lin, my grandfather's re-examination has just ended, and he is still waiting for the doctor to come over in the ward, so follow me to the ward first."
Walking through the main building of the hospital to the inpatient department, and walking directly to the special ward area of the VIP, Lin Cheng realized that today's meeting was not simple.
This is a hospital in the United States, which is a sky-high cost for ordinary families, and this is a university-affiliated hospital, which has very cutting-edge technology in some medical programs, and the price of hospitalization is very amazing.
Today, however, the person we met with was living in a VIP ward in such a hospital...... Could it really be some kind of amazing character?
Look at this corridor, this suite, there are bodyguards on the road, and the little nurse is always with him, Lin Cheng felt the presence of money for the first time, and he even suspected that he had taken the order for a long time, and it may not cost as much as anyone to stay here for one night.
"Capitalism of all evils."
At the end of the corridor, in the largest and most luxurious ward, there was only one old man lying on the hospital bed.
The old man was a little thin, fifty or sixty years old, with a withered face and gray hair, but his eyes were very sharp, wearing a loose hospital gown, and the moment Wu Zhihao walked into the room, he set his eyes on Aunt Lin and Lin Cheng, who were following behind Wu Zhihao.
At the door of the ward, Lin Cheng inadvertently glanced at the name on the door number - Wu Zhiyuan.
At this moment, Lin Cheng finally realized why he felt that Wu Zhihao, a name that was not special, was very familiar.
This old man is obviously the seventh uncle of the Chinatown boss in the Chinatown detective, that Wu Zhihao is his own grandson who was killed, and the seventh uncle gave a bonus bounty, if anyone can find the murderer, he will give him a bonus of five million dollars!
"Lin girl, how come you have time to come to me, an old man?"
The seventh uncle in front of him is not like the time in the movie Detective Chinatown 2, his voice is very stable, and his breath is not chaotic.
But what really made Lin Cheng care was the name of Aunt Lin by Uncle Seven, the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time, and they had an extraordinary relationship, which made Lin Cheng very interested, and even interested in some gossip.
"Brother Qi, how is your health?"
Aunt Lin came to Uncle Seven's bedside and bowed her head gently.
"Seventh brother is old and useless, unlike you, a little girl, alas...... Don't mention it, don't mention it, is there something about coming to me today? ”
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
As she spoke, Aunt Lin briefly described what happened in Chinatown last night.
From Lin Cheng as a detective assistant to investigate Japanese gangsters, to the Japanese frenzied to blow up an apartment building near Chinatown and kill dozens of New York City counterterrorism agents.
What happened last night, even Uncle Seven, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and Wu Zhihao was even more stunned.
After a while, Uncle Seven scolded.
"Those little devils who have been cut by a thousand knives have been making ghosts in our Chinatown back then, and now they are making such a mess, Lin girl, don't worry, since they provoked my Chinatown, then this matter is not over with them."
After a pause, Uncle Seven looked at Wu Zhihao at the door of the ward.
"Zhihao, go call Guofu, mobilize everyone in Chinatown, and find the whereabouts of those little devils."
Behind Aunt Lin, a smile appeared on Lin Cheng's face.
Although the situation was somewhat unexpected, it managed to get the help of Chinatown.
Hearing his grandfather's words, Wu Zhihao nodded, he also hated the Japanese, it was better to say that all Chinese hated the Japanese, and immediately walked out of the ward and called his grandfather's subordinates to inform the news.
At this time, the seventh uncle also set his sights on Lin Cheng.
"Are you Lin Yatou's nephew?"
"I've seen Uncle Seven."
Lin Cheng slowly lowered his head and clasped his hands into fists.
"Yes, although I didn't mention me to you, but you guessed my identity, no wonder you can be a detective."
Hearing Uncle Seven's words, Lin Cheng was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Detective or something, it was just to prevaricate Aunt Lin's casual mention, but I didn't expect even Uncle Seven to give affirmation, if this lets the other party know that he is actually a hidden killer, then it must be a good show to watch.
But speaking of which, since Wu Zhihao is still alive and Uncle Seven is not terminally ill, the story of Detective Chinatown 2 has not yet begun, and maybe he will be able to meet it in the future.
After all, it was a five-million-dollar bounty, and Lin Cheng felt a little hot, and there was a group of interesting detectives there.
Lin Cheng suddenly felt that if he mixed in with that group of detectives, it would be very interesting, the only thing that was a pity was that Wu Zhihao who had just gone out, he was the first guy to be killed by the murderer.
Of course, if Wu Zhihao doesn't die, I'm afraid this story won't begin, then...... Do you want to help him?
The seventh uncle is the speaker of Hongmen and the boss of the Zhigong Court, under his majesty, the entire Chinatown was ordered and began to act, and countless people who pointed to the life of Chinatown began to walk the streets and alleys to exchange information, looking for the whereabouts of Nakajima and others.
Aunt Lin stayed in the ward, while Lin Cheng walked out of the ward door.
In the corridor, there were only two bodyguards guarding the door and Wu Zhihao, Lin Cheng came to Wu Zhihao's side, and the two stood on the edge of the windowsill together, and outside the window was a beautiful forest scene outside the hospital, which was very beautiful.
In the silence, before Lin Cheng could think about what to say, Wu Zhihao had already handed over a pack of cigarettes with a smile.
"Do you smoke?"
"Sorry, I don't smoke, smoking affects my fitness, and besides, this is the hospital."
Lin Cheng frowned and didn't take Wu Zhihao's cigarette.
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Wu Zhihao not only did not get angry, but became happy, with a bright smile on his face.
He opened the window, lit the cigarette in his hand, and slowly exhaled a puff of mist, his expression relaxed.
"Let's be honest, it's not the first time I've seen you fitness guys, they don't like to smoke, it's nothing, but even though this is a hospital, as long as you have money, no one will care what you're doing here, trust me."
"Oh, by the way, you seem to be a detective, you seem to be there when the explosion happened last night?"
