Jack struggled to remember the movies Uncle Cage had made, uh, it was so much, there were so many good movies, and even with Brigitte Fonda, he still couldn't remember which movie it was.

Brigitte Fonda's surprise to him was the heroine image in "Dragon's Kiss", although she played a stumbling girl, she was really beautiful.

"This is Charlie in the newspaper, a Queens patrolman, he is a rare good man, the most upright and kind cop I have ever met, and now, he is in a quagmire and needs someone to help him."

Duprey didn't notice Jack's surprised expression, and pointed to Uncle Cage, who looked panicked and hugged Brigitte Fonda, obviously caught off guard when he was photographed.

"I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, he has a habit of buying lottery tickets, and a month ago, he won the lottery with a prize of $4 million."

"Why? Good people are rewarded, don't they? Jack didn't touch the barley tea, which was too palatable for him, and asked for a bottle of mineral water to rinse the sweet and greasy taste from his mouth.

4 million US dollars, not too much, but not too little, for an ordinary person, it is enough to change the fate of an ordinary person, and it is enough to cross some classes, but it is not to the extent of asking for human life.

According to some boring statistics, about 7 out of 10 lottery jackpot winners in this country will go bankrupt within 7 years, while in Europe, the figure is about 5 out of 10.

But $4 million, which can't be compared with those hundreds of millions or tens of millions of huge prizes, and only a month has passed, what can happen, fraud?

Duprey glanced at the slightly noisy environment in the restaurant, and seemed to feel that the atmosphere here was not suitable for storytelling, so he took the initiative to settle the bill, and then drove in front to lead the way, saying that he wanted to find a quieter place.

After passing through the New York Museum of Science, the Queens Museum of Art, and the Botanical Garden, the two finally arrived at Flushing City Park.

It was early afternoon, the sun was shining, and sitting on a bench in the park against the lawn, Duprey told Jack a somewhat absurd story.

It all started before Charlie found out he had won the jackpot, a month ago, he did the same job as Jack did when he was in LAPD, patrolling several neighborhoods in a police car every day.

According to Duprey, it's just a few blocks around this park, which is where he also grew up.

But unlike Jack, this is a relatively safe neighborhood in Queens, and Charlie, except for occasionally catching thieves, spends most of his time adjusting the conflicts of residents and helping to find puppies and kittens.

Both the elderly and children in the neighborhood love this warm and kind little policeman, who is ordinary, married to a Latino wife, and lives an ordinary life.

If nothing else, maybe one day they will save enough money and have a baby.

As the story begins, it is not surprising that Charlie usually has the habit of buying lottery tickets, and almost every week he will buy a two-dollar lotto.

On this day, as usual, after a day of patrol, after buying a lottery ticket as usual, he was so hungry that he walked into a coffee shop with his black partner that they had never been to before.

After two cups of coffee and a nice snack, Charlie went to check out, only to find that he didn't have enough change in his pocket to tip.

So after a good-natured joke, Charlie seriously agreed with the unmasked hostess to tip the ticket he had just bought.

He promised that after the TV station announced the results of the lottery that night, as long as the lottery ticket was won, no matter how much, he would share it equally with Yi Fang, and if he didn't win, he would also come back to make up the tip.

"Well, it's the coffee shop around the corner." Duprey turned halfway around and pointed to the coffee shop across the street from the park.

"Coffee shop in Yvonne?" Jack also turned around and pronounced the name of the shop.

"That's right, but it had a terrible name, it was called a lunch coffee shop, and the owner was a nasty Mexican bald." Duprey waved his hand with a slight disgust.

"Where did I go, oh yes, guess what, that night, Charlie won the jackpot of $64 million with his number, and although a total of 16 people bought that number, they also got an average of $4 million each."

Jack had guessed what he was going to tell next, but it was still hard to believe.

"What you're trying to tell me is that Charlie gave half of his $4 million prize money to the hostess?"

"Yes." Duprey's eyes widened, and he still looked excited.

"Can't imagine, huh? He kept his promise and eventually convinced his wife to split the prize money equally with the waitress he didn't know, who bought the coffee shop and changed it to her own name. ”

"Well, it's hard to imagine."

Although that Yvon has the face of Brigitte Fonda, Jack is self-substitution, whether it is his previous life or the boy who struggled near the slum when he just crossed over, I am afraid that he can't do it to this extent.

The story is unreal, like a fictional urban fairy tale.

"I don't believe it, Charlie must have known that Yvonne's hostess for a long time, didn't the newspaper say that they had an affair a long time ago? There are also reporters who took photos of them leaving the 'Plaza Hotel' together.

Uh, it's this New York Post, you can't be the one who took it, right? ”

Jack pulled out a newspaper and smiled and waved at Duprey, a photojournalist and investigative reporter for the New York Post.

"Oh shit, that's what my bastard colleagues who like to chase gossip news do, and I only cover serious news." Dupri waved his hand in disgust, as if he was going to get rid of something.

"Again, Charlie is the kindest and most upright person I have ever met, and he and Ifonsu did not know each other before the lottery incident, as the neighbors in the neighborhood can testify."

Duprey put his right hand on his chest and said as if he had taken an oath.

"Charlie is also a volunteer coach of my son's baseball team, and he spends most of his spare time with those kids, and the people on the street where he lives know who he is."

"Okay, so what do you need me to do?" Jack shrugged, "The FBI can't handle divorce cases either." ”

Newspapers and magazines have mostly focused on the divorce case between Charlie and his wife, who filed for divorce after Charlie was caught having an affair with Yvonne and demanded to recover the $2 million she had previously given to Yvonne.

Today's public opinion seems to be one-sided, which is very unfavorable to Charlie and the waitress Yvonne.

"We have a little deal, I have been thinking about whether I can help poor Charlie, but I have never thought of a particularly good way, and the task you have assigned to me will make me even more immediate.

So I'm thinking, why don't we swap assignments, I'll check that damn judge, and you, think of a way to come out on my behalf, after all, there are not many good people in this world. ”

Dupri clasped his hands together and made a look of please, but a sly smile flashed in his eyes.
