Chapter 249, Rambizai, who loves life
Tomorrow he had to preside over the naturalization ceremony, and it wasn't until he was close to the end of work that Brooklyn remembered to ask Bob to help him look through the list of naturalization personnel and information.
By the time the two of them scrambled to pull out two cardboard boxes from under the Brooklyn table, it was time to leave work.
"I warned you." Seeing Brooklyn looking at him, Bob immediately pulled out his schedule and showed it to Brooklyn.
It clearly shows that from the time he received the information, Bob reminded Brooklyn every other day to have him review it.
Someone from the immigration office even called this Monday to remind me. However, every time Brooklyn spends time reviewing documents in court.
Looking at the brand-new seal tape on it, Bob smiled and gloated.
"I'm sorry, Blue, I had to go with Nelly to visit little Jerry in the hospital." Bob apologized exaggeratedly and walked to the outside with light dance steps, one hand behind his back, the other stretched forward, slightly bent over.
Asked in an aria
"Beautiful lady, would you have the pleasure of visiting poor little Jerry with you?"
"Of course, it's my pleasure. The handsome King Bob crowned him. Nelly cooperatively put her hand on Bob's outstretched hand.
Bob kissed the back of Nelly's hand, and the two shook hands like opera singers and jumped away.
Brooklyn looked at the empty office where the person went to the house, and then at the two neat cardboard boxes on the table to review the materials, and the whole person collapsed on the chair.
He pulled out his phone and called Ray.
"Come up and help me move the materials. I need to go home and watch it...... Yes, you heard it right, I have to read it all tonight, and I need the materials tomorrow morning, I can't move it alone, and I need your help. Ten minutes later, Ray appeared at the door, staring at the two cardboard boxes in front of Brooklyn in a daze.
"Are you sure?" Ray asked, pointing to two cardboard boxes
"Finish it all tonight? Are you sure? Seeing Brooklyn nodding, Ray asked in surprise
"How did I not know you had a hundred eyes?"
"It's not funny at all." Brooklyn limbly hugged the cardboard box and walked out
"Nope! It's not that it's not funny, it's just uninteresting! Brooklyn sat in the passenger seat, and before he got home, he couldn't wait to open the cardboard box and start looking through it.
Time is precious, and it's not right to waste it. At the top of the carton is a document bag containing a list of naturalized persons, one for each person, on which the basic information of the naturalized persons is written.
The federal naturalization ceremony is not only for citizens of other countries to become federal citizens, but also for their own nationals.
At the top of the bag is a table counting the names of all the people who need to be naturalized this time. A total of 123 people.
Underneath the file bag is a thick stack of personal information. Brooklyn took out the first document and flipped through it briefly.
This is a black man named Rambizayin, from a country that Brooklyn has never heard of. At the top is Rambizayin's personal information, followed by family information, family member information, work situation, income situation, company evaluation of him, criminal record, education status, physical health, communication information, email content...... There are a lot of ramblings, and it's almost impossible to count how many leg hairs he has.
Brooklyn flipped through it carefully and confirmed that this was an ordinary ordinary person, born and raised locally, then studied abroad, worked in the Commonwealth, had a stable income, had a regular social circle, liked to go to bars and other nightclubs, and worked diligently.
Mr. Rambizayin, who owns his own property in New York, did not earn much when he first started working, and every year he remitted half of his salary to an overseas account that was eventually confirmed to be owned by his family.
Since then, the amount of money sent to overseas accounts has gradually decreased, and there has been no record of remittance for two years now. Rambizayin's naturalization application states that he has cut ties with his family, and that he feels the poverty and backwardness of his hometown, ignorant and chaotic, barbaric and violent.
He no longer has nostalgia for his hometown, and while living and working in the Federation, he deeply felt the civilization and freedom of the Federation, which he deeply longed for, and after careful consideration, decided to become a naturalized member of the Federation.
"I hope that I can have this privilege to be a citizen of a free and civilized and developed federation. I think I'm ready. We look forward to hearing from you. Brooklyn read the fleshy and explicit application aloud, shuddering and shaking.
Look at Ray.
"It's too numb. Do USCIS people have to look at this kind of stuff every day? They are unfortunate. Ray sneered and did not speak.
"I'm willing to bet that USCIS vetting officers see a psychiatrist every week." Brooklyn looked through the application and muttered.
"Wait a minute." Ray stopped the car, pointed to the betting shop outside, and got out of the car to buy Powerball. 1.7 billion has been taken away and caused a lot of turmoil, but Ray still insists on buying Powerball.
Brooklyn sat in the car and continued to read the next one. This is a naturalization application from a country. He thought that Ram Biza Yoon's naturalization application was fleshy enough, but he didn't expect that Mr. Kim Jae-jong's naturalization application was even more fleshy.
Brooklyn only held out halfway through and couldn't stand it. He unconsciously imagined in his mind what Mr. Kim Jae-jong would look like when he wrote this application, and then shook his body, feeling embarrassed for Mr. Kim Jae-jong.
"I love the Commonwealth immensely"
"I love this free and civilized country"
"The air here is full of the sweetness of freedom"
"Every time I step off the plane, I can't help but kiss the land of the Federation"
"I've dreamed countless times in my dreams of the moment of becoming a citizen of the Union"
"When I received the approved letter, I almost fainted with joy"
"The Free Federation~" Gach ~ When Ray came back after buying, he saw Brooklyn in a state like morning sickness, and his face was inexplicable.
Brooklyn handed over Kim Jae-jong's naturalization application.
"Greetings to the Distinguished Vetting Committee, Gentlemen of the Federal Citizenship and Immigration Service Vetting Panel, I am ......"
"Don't read it!" Brooklyn shouted loudly and snatched back the naturalization application, shoving it to the bottom along with Kim Jae-jong's documents.
Ray shrugged, started the car, and said
"What can you make them write?"
Actually, they don't necessarily think that way. For example, the last one was named Rambizayin, whose name means 'a wonderful gift from God', which shows that her parents loved her very much. ”
"But what can we do? Maybe she loves her parents, her hometown, and her country, but the gap between the Union and her country is there, and she has to make a choice. ”
"She wants to join the federation and live a better life, and in the face of the USCIS review, she can only write this. Put yourself in the most humble position. Brooklyn disagreed with Ray's statement, and he shook his head
"What did she join the Commonwealth for? Live a better life? Satisfying material needs? If so, I have nothing to say. But if she's gaining self-esteem and pride as a federal citizen, I think she's going to be disappointed. ”
"Pride and self-esteem are self-earning, not given by a certificate of naturalization."
"She might as well be honest and write, 'I need to be a federal citizen, because federal citizenship makes it easier for me to work, earn a higher salary, and live a better life,' and if it were me, I would write that."
"Instead of trying to gain sympathy by kneeling down and licking the butt of an immigration officer. I can't do it, so I might as well kill me. ”
"And what can a man who doesn't even love the land where she was born and raised what she can expect to bring to the Federation? Bring groveling? Brooklyn tapped through the information and said disdainfully.
"For the sake of money, let's say it's for money, everyone is honest, and no one laughs at it." Ray didn't want to say anything more on the matter, so Brooklyn kept his mouth shut.
He continued to look through the materials and found that they seemed like a lot, but they didn't take too long.
The information has been reviewed by the immigration department, and he can actually ignore it. Brooklyn opened another cardboard box and found that it contained the naturalization certificates of the 123 people, whose names had been written on them, and which had been reviewed by the USCIS and the court.
Brooklyn finds a note left by Nelly at the bottom of the cardboard box.
"It's good practice to get the day's work done," Brooklyn shook her head and smiled. Nelly's note saved Brooklyn from having to review 123 people's naturalization profiles overnight and produce naturalization certificates for those who passed the review the next day.
Suddenly going from being sleepless to being a little bit light, Brooklyn is still a little unaccustomed.
He put back the information on Kim Jae-jong and Ram Biza Yoon, covered the cardboard box, and asked Lei about another matter
"What should I wear tomorrow?" Brooklyn's dressing eye can only be said to be decent, not brilliant, and not embarrassing.
Add to that professional reasons – whether it's a judge or a lawyer, it's often a piece of clothing that can be used to the end of the day.
Judges wear legal robes most of the time, and the rest of the time only need a proper suit, and lawyers need two or three suits.
"How do I know?" Ray spread his hands and showed off his driving skills to Brooklyn. Brooklyn was a little tangled.
At this moment, he was a little envious of Winston. At least Mr. Governor doesn't have such troubles, and Patty will be thoughtfully prepared for what kind of occasion to wear every day.
And he could only discuss this with Ray, and he got a 'how do I know' answer.
"You can ask Prosecutor Anne about it." Ray came out again. Brooklyn unconsciously remembered meeting at the mall before Christmas.
"Forget it," Brooklyn finally shook his head in refusal, as if to explain to Ray and as if to convince himself
"I'm not familiar with her, and Bob and Nelly should have the right advice." Ray squinted at Brooklyn and his gaze became strange.
Back home, Brooklyn was preparing dinner, and Ray was hiding in the corner and secretly calling David.
"David, what did Blu's last girlfriend do to him? How do I feel about the way he looks right now when he's not interested in women. "Through a search warrant in Brooklyn, David found a large number of Governor Thomas Dewey Highway studies at the lawyer's home.
The lawyer studied the highways near New York City almost section by section, collecting information on road conditions along the way, statistics on past accident-prone areas, vehicle density, and more.
They also found a map of the area where the Angus couple had an accident that was circled. Although no similar evidence such as 'plans' and 'account books' was directly found, this map alone is enough to move the District Prosecutor's Office to prosecute lawyers.
David was busy interrogating the lawyer with Anne when he received a call from Ray, and as soon as he got through, he heard Ray crackle and ask a lot of questions.
David reacted for a long time and asked suspiciously
"Why do you say that?"
"He wants to ask Anne, it's the female prosecutor, Anne Aldington knows?" Ray glanced in the direction of the kitchen, covered his mouth and whispered
"Ever since the last time he bought a Christmas tree at the mall, he wanted to ask Anne out. But he didn't dare. ”
"He's going to be a guest on A's TV show tomorrow, and he was just struggling with what to wear on the road, so I asked him to ask Anne, and he immediately stopped worrying." David subconsciously glanced back in the direction of the interrogation room, and happened to collide with Anne Aldington, he quickly withdrew his gaze as if he was empty.
"The prosecutor you mentioned Anne is with me, and we're preparing to prosecute a lawyer." David took two steps into the distance like a thief and said in a low voice.
Lei immediately refreshed
"When? Are you going to file a complaint in state court or federal court? ”
"I don't know. That's the job of a prosecutor. David had some bad premonitions, and he asked
"What are you going to do?"
"Blue has the power to choose the indictment. I'm going to talk to Bob tomorrow and tell him to keep an eye out for Prosecutor Anne's indictment and bring it to Blue. David opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He felt that Ray seemed to have undergone some kind of change, from being trustworthy and taciturn at the beginning, becoming more and more unreliable and gossipy.
David didn't think it was a good sign. But think about the fact that when Ray first came back, he was just illuminated by a flash of light, and he almost pulled out his gun and killed someone.
Look at it now, gossip is a little bit of gossip, and if it's unreliable, it's a little unreliable, at least it's not so unstable.
This is the price necessary to cure PTSD. David comforted himself in this way.
"Don't trouble Blue." David admonished. Frederick Samr, the new head of the New York City Child Advocacy Group, came to him and wanted to meet with him.
David still remembers Ben and Wood's deaths, and David knows better than Brooklyn what child advocacy organizations have done.
First Serra, then Kevin Binns, and now Frederick, David has no doubt that this seemingly polite Frederick is the same as the first two.
Therefore, David didn't even see Frederick, just asked the team to bring him a cup of NYPD coffee, and left the person to dry until more than an hour later, when Pol came over to inform Frederick.
"I'm sorry, David is busy with eucalyptus, time is tight, he may not have time to see you. Why don't you come back tomorrow? ”
