The next day, Jimmy went back early in the morning, passed by the supermarket and bought some ginger and green onions, went home and boiled himself a ginger soup, drank it and wrapped himself in the quilt and continued to sleep.

Today is a rest day, Jimmy woke up and didn't want to get up, he seems to be in good health at the moment, and there is no sign of fever and cold after half a day.

After staying up until the urge to urinate increased, Jimmy quickly got up and went to the bathroom to put water and wash. After coming out, I looked at the ginger and shallots I bought, so I made ginger soup for another night, and continued to lie in bed and watch TV after drinking.

The phone rang for "Didi", and Jimmy picked up the phone, it was Director James.

"Hi, Director."

"Hi, Jimmy, did well last night, Mr. Anderson has woken up. You come to the police station, and the government has arranged an interview. ”

"Okay, Director. Is there anything else? ”

"No, that's all. Goodbye"

"Goodbye, Director."

The only day off was gone, so Jimmy got up and tidied up, changed into decent clothes, and took a taxi to the police station.

Jimmy hasn't bought a car for a few months, not to say how expensive used cars are, but mainly because he now spends more than ten hours a day driving a police car, and his own car is not just needed, just driving to the police station and going home. It is also very convenient to have a familiar taxi driver who can pick you up in a few minutes with just a phone call.

When he arrived at the police station, Jimmy found a man and a woman chatting with Director James in the director's office, which had a large window that could directly see the hall, and Director James saw that Jimmy had arrived, so he beckoned him in.

"Jimmy, this is Jessica, a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Jessica, he's Jimmy, Jimmy Young, the best young man in our police department."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yang. I'm sorry to have you coming to the police station on your day off, but our interview starts now, okay? ”

"Jimmy, treat them well and answer their questions well. Jessica, I've got some of my departures beforehand, so you're going to be here for an interview. After the director finished the introduction, he pushed the door and walked out.

The photographer next to him instructed Jimmy to sit on the single sofa next to him, adjust his position and posture, toss for more than ten minutes, took a few photos, and went out with the camera when he was satisfied, leaving reporters Jessica and Jimmy to continue the interview.

"Jimmy, tell us a little about yourself."

"Okay, I was born in Little Rock, went to school, worked part-time after graduating from high school, enrolled in the police academy 3 years ago, went to the State Police Highway Patrol after graduation, returned to Little Rock this year and joined the Pulaski County Police Department."

"Tell me about last night."

"OK, last night I was on the night shift, patrolling the highway, I smelled smoke, but I didn't find any fire. Then I followed the wind to the house that was on fire, and when I found out to my neighbors that there was anyone inside, I rushed in and brought Mr. Anderson out. No, it's as simple as that. ”

"Oh, we've learned about that, can you elaborate on your process of saving people?"

"I'm sorry, some of the details may be related to the case report, so I can't provide it for the time being, if Director James thinks he can provide it, you can check my case report directly."

"Okay, I'll apply to Director James. So, let's go on, do you know that you are the first Chinese police officer in Pulaski County? ”

"Really? I really haven't paid attention to this, and it has always been my goal to be a police officer to fight criminals, so I have never paid attention to this kind of news in the process of attending the police academy and joining the county police department. ”

"Yes, not only the county police department, but also the Xiaoshi City Police Department does not have Chinese police. Do you think this is discrimination? Because now the police are overwhelmingly white. ”

Jimmy was sweating a little, and before he was reborn, there were race movements on the American side, and this kind of topic was a huge trap that must not be fallen into.

"I am honored to be the first Chinese police officer in the county police." Jimmy reached for two bottles of water from the director's desk, handed one to Jessica, and opened his own. It's just a matter of stalling for time and organizing the language.

"I don't think that just because I'm a Chinese police officer doesn't mean that there is any discrimination against Chinese people at the police station, in fact, it's mainly because there are so few Chinese here in Little Rock.

If you pay attention to your surroundings, you will find that it is very difficult to see Chinese people in your neighborhood. Although I don't have a specific number, I estimate that there should be no more than 1,500 Chinese residents in Little Rock, and there is no such gathering area as San Francisco's Chinatown in the city.

Many Chinese are students, doctors, teachers, IT and legal workers, so it is always difficult to see Chinese people in front of them when surveying the demographic structure on a daily basis. ”

Jimmy paused and continued, "I think that as the overall number of Chinese people increases, Chinese people need to participate in more social roles, and there will definitely be more and more Chinese people working in police stations like me in the future." Similarly, in all walks of life, we can also see more Chinese people holding different positions. ”

Jessica didn't say anything when he saw that he didn't get into the pit, and simply asked Jimmy a few interesting things that happened while on duty, and ended the interview.

In fact, if you just save a person at the fire scene, there is no need to send reporters and cameramen to interview, firefighters do this kind of thing every day, and the biggest highlight this time is actually Jimmy's Chinese identity.

As mentioned earlier, Jimmy is the only Chinese-American police officer in the county police department, and Little Rock, as the capital of Arkansas, currently has no history of Chinese-American police officers, and for this record-setter, he is the biggest gimmick of the incident.

As long as the reporters are willing, they can also shoot at other institutions or departments at any time, the racial issue was already a relatively troublesome social problem in 2000, the overall image of the Chinese is weak, and the crime rate is even lower and more conspicuous compared with other races.

As for Mr. Anderson, the victim of yesterday's fire, whom Jimmy heroically rescued, he is now presumably in a state of distress.

Why does Anderson have a headache? Well, because he had to settle the expenses for the ambulance and fire truck, and because he was in a drunken state at the time, there was no way to refuse the ambulance and fire truck on the spot, and these expenses were enough for him to drink a pot.

In addition, the house has been burned down, and the valuable things in the house are estimated to have disappeared, unless he has a large amount of savings or has a relatively high credit rating, and can take out a loan from the bank, it is estimated that he is likely to become a new homeless man.

The cost of emergency vehicles and fire trucks in the United States is very high, many people are reluctant to call ambulances, and fire trucks are even more expensive.
