"Nelson Chow isn't like the kind of person who needs help." Danny complained, "Is it possible that he worked with you?" ”

"I'm sure I'll be impressed if that's the case." Nicholas Zheng sat down at his desk and looked very enthusiastic about opening the computer to look up the file.

"Sorry, we don't have such a person as Nelson Chow here, it's C-h-i-u, right?"

Neither of the detectives who came to the door expected any useful information from him, and they trusted their own eyes more in this case.

Jack winked at Danny, took two steps back without a trace, and looked around in the aisle.

Danny received the hint and began to ramble, seemingly inadvertently, "So do you have any connection with those street gangsters here?" ”

Nicholas Cheng didn't seem to understand his hints, or maybe they didn't do it on purpose, "We're funding a midnight basketball program to get those teenagers back on track. ”

"What about the name Mintae? Do you have any impressions? Danny continued.

"Sounds like a Korean girl's name, I'll look it up." Nicholas Zheng narrowed his eyes, still looking like a good old man with a smile.

"It's dedicated to providing free medical care to patients who can't afford it."

Jack walked up to the front desk, a Chinese woman in her early 40s, and the reason why he could see it at a glance was because the other party's dress reminded him of the eighties and nineties of the last century.

"Why?" Danny, who was following behind, said and secretly spread his hands to Jack, signaling that he was not going to stop him forcibly.

On the wall of the waiting room are posters that seem to be legal science, but are actually soft advertisements for immigration agents, and there are various advertising pamphlets on a table against the wall at the door.

"Hello." Jack showed his trademark smile at the front desk, but he didn't expect to suffer a tragic Waterloo this time, and the other party immediately panicked, and let out a panicked scream, but he couldn't understand what she was shouting.

While the conversation between the two continued, Jack had quietly disappeared into the hallway, appeared at the staircase on the other side, and entered a room at the end of the hallway.

"I don't know."

When Jack walked into the waiting room before, he didn't attract anyone's attention, but caused a lot of commotion because of the slightly overreacted reaction of the front desk and Nicholas Zheng at this time.

Jack felt a deep sense of frustration rise in his heart, and at this time, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Nicholas Zheng, who had always been smiling and calm, burst in with a little panic that could not be concealed.

"I'm sorry, you can't get in here, at least not yet!"

"Do you know what her last name is?"

It looked like the waiting room of a gynecology clinic, filled with Asian women, many with big bellies, and only a few men, who looked like they were supposed to be accompanying family members.

Some pregnant women subconsciously protected their bellies and got up and hid in the corner.

"Well, don't get excited, I just wanted to ask if there's a pregnant woman named Mintai here." Jack changed three or four dialects in a row, but the other party was so frightened that he stood up and stepped back again and again, waving his hands in panic, looking completely unable to communicate.

"I just want to visit, what's the problem?" Jack feigned puzzlement.

Nicholas Zheng squeezed out a smile on his face, lowered his voice and tried to explain, "Many of the patients here are illegal immigrants, and you will scare them like this." ”

"Please, please get out of here, please, please, please get out of here."

"Okay, okay, don't be nervous, relax, I'll just take a look." Jack turned, slowed slightly, and passed the table against the wall, quietly picking up an advertisement and stuffing it into his pocket.

——

"What is this? So not only can you speak Chinese, but you can even understand these weird square characters? ”

Walking out of the Mott Street Charity Association, I saw Jack looking through the advertising leaflet in his hand, and Danny looked at Jack's eyes with a little bit of worship this time, quite a bit of a scumbag looking up to the top of the school.

"Yes, it's not just the square words, I can read the Cyrillic alphabet and Latin." Jack is not shy about it, anyway, there are demonic geniuses such as Spencer Reid, Christian Wolfe, and Justin in front of this world, and there is no need to hide it all the time.

"OK, what's that saying?" Danny mentally crossed the last item on his brother's comparison list with Jack, and it seemed that Harvard's law diploma didn't seem to be a big deal.

"It's an ad for an adoption agency that says if you're a single pregnant woman with an unplanned pregnancy, or if you're married and can't afford childcare or even an abortion, you can send your child to an adoption agency and get some. Belch. Subsidy. ”

Jack translated word by word, although it was traditional Chinese characters and it was machine-translated Chinese, it could not be difficult for him.

"Subsidies? Is it the meaning of money? Danny frowned again.

"The meaning is similar, although it goes around in a circle, and it is still translated into Chinese by Google, but the meaning is very different." Jack nodded.

Danny helped himself rub his knotted eyebrows, sighed, "So, we're still missing the last piece of the puzzle now, according to yesterday's plan, we should go to that Yijun Liu to ask about the situation, the restaurant where she works during the day seems to be on Mot Street." ”

"Why don't we have a working meal?" It was already noon, and Jack smelled the fragrant food wafting through the streets, patted his hungry stomach, and looked at the neon signs.

——

Jack's simple working meal is four dishes and one soup, boiled fish, rock sugar elbow, kale heart, sizzling beef tenderloin and spinach in soup, Danny awkwardly pinched the chopsticks and almost buried his head in the rice bowl.

"Let's have some food together." Jack glanced at the girl who had been standing there timidly since they were called into the box, wearing a restaurant cheongsam-style uniform.

"No, the boss will lose his temper." Yijun Liu shook his head desperately.

Jack sighed, took out his FBI ID and showed it in front of her, and said in Chinese, "It's okay, from identity to work and even a new residence, I will help you get it, but you can't talk to anyone, just treat it as your informant fee."

There is only one chance, as long as you cooperate obediently, you don't have to go out to stand on the street at night in the future, and you can live in this country as a normal person with peace of mind, understand? ”

Seeing that she was speechless for a long time with her mouth open and shocked, Jack pushed a bowl of rice in front of her and knocked on the table again, "Let's sit down and eat first." ”

"What's wrong with her?" Seeing that the girl had been shedding tears since she sat down to eat, Danny looked puzzled and asked with some hindsight.

Jack shrugged, and didn't know how to explain it, helping people is a technical job, and it mainly depends on whether the person being helped is worth helping, and this girl knows that she sheds tears, and seems to understand what he means.

The girl named Yijun Liu finished the bowl of rice with trembling hands, got up from her seat, and knelt down to kowtow to Jack with a puff, but was quickly held up by the latter.

"Okay, in your traditional culture, you only kneel to the prince of heaven and earth, if you say hello to me, live your own life in the future, don't let my expectations be disappointed."

"Thank you, sir." Yijun Liu cried silently, she didn't understand why the person in front of her obviously had a foreign face, but the way he spoke and did things was like the teacher in the rural elementary school when she was the first.

"Okay, sit down and talk, I'll ask you and tell us everything you know." Jack switched back to English that Danny could understand.

"Actually, I've known Mintae Kim for two years, she is from the countryside of Jeonju, South Korea, she looks better than me, and she is very popular with those guests, but more than half a year ago, she accidentally got pregnant and lost a income, and her life became very difficult.

I also wanted to help her, but we were all uninsured people, and they said it would cost at least $2,500 to go to the hospital to have an abortion, and we didn't dare to borrow money from the people like Nelson Chow, and we saw the end of the women who owed them money. ”

Yijun Liu whispered while wiping her tears, but the tears were more and more, "But after they found out that Mintae was pregnant, they took the initiative to find her, and also provided a clinic that said to be free for pregnant women." ”
