Chapter 191 closed case (big chapter)
Yijiabao Confinement Center.
With different price points, the treatment of confinement centers varies greatly.
The most common confinement center may be a larger house, where a pregnant woman lives in each room, and all facilities and furniture are shared.
Women tend to be irritable during pregnancy, and a group of pregnant women are prone to quarrels.
Confinement centers with higher prices are relatively more formal, and may have independent single rooms.
Yijiabao Baby Confinement Center belongs to this kind of independent single-room confinement center.
In an independent single room facing south on the second floor, an Asian couple is packing their things.
"Husband, is it too early for me to move into the confinement center now? There are still 3 months before the child is born, and it will cost a lot of money."
The man said, "Lili, stop worrying about money, we have money now.
What you have to do now is to raise the fetus with peace of mind and give birth to the baby in your stomach. "
Liu Xiaoli stroked her stomach, "I know."
"Is there anything missing here? I'll go buy it."
"There is no shortage, everything is enough."
The man nodded and held his wife's hand, "Lili, I'm leaving first, and I'll come see you tomorrow.
Call me if you need anything. "
The woman was a little bit reluctant, "How are you going to... deal with them?"
"It's still the same sentence, you don't have to worry about anything, you can take care of the baby, and I will take care of the rest." After the man finished speaking, he was about to leave.
The woman is still worried, "Chao, stop calling and asking for money, the risk is too great, the money is enough for us to spend."
"I know, I will take care of things, and when everything is over, I will come to accompany you." The man seemed not to want to say too much to his wife, and turned to leave.
"Ka" The man opened the door and was about to leave, when he saw two black guns pointing at him.
"lapd!"
…
Police Detective Agency.
Robbery and Murder Division, Interrogation Room.
The man was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, and kept looking around, his face full of uneasiness.
"creak"
The door of the interrogation room opened, and a black-haired youth and a black man walked in.
Luke put the information on the table, looked at the man, "What's your name?"
The man glanced at Luke, "Wang Chao."
"Do you know why you were arrested?"
Wang Chao nodded, "I... kidnapped two people."
"who?"
"Mrs. Kenneth, there is a little girl."
"Why kidnap them?"
"She deserved it, she's a liar."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's that Mrs. Kenneth. If it wasn't for her, all of this would not have happened." Wang Chao sighed, lost in memory,
"Originally, my wife and I just wanted to work in the United States for a few years, earn some money and then go home. Later, my wife became pregnant, and our husband and wife paid more attention to pregnancy. We saw the circle of friends posted by Mrs. Kenneth.
Our thinking has changed a bit.
The country is definitely good, and there are many opportunities, but the pressure of competition in the country is relatively high. The two of us need education but no education, skills and skills, so we will just work as coolies when we go back.
As far as I know, the income of working as a coolie here is higher, and the domestic housing prices are too high, so we can’t afford to buy a house when we go back.
One is floating in the city, and the other is floating abroad. They are both floating anyway, so I must choose the one with a higher income.
We have the idea of staying.
Then, we contacted Mrs. Kenneth on WeChat, and she told us that as long as the child is born in the confinement center, the child can obtain legal status here.
As long as the child has a legal identity, our identity will be easy to handle.
At that time, what she said was very good, and my wife and I were moved.
We tried our best to raise money and let my wife go to the confinement center recommended by her.
But many things were different from what I imagined. The confinement center was not as good as imagined.
The living environment, food, service, and medical care are all unsatisfactory.
One night, my wife went to the toilet. There was a puddle of water on the toilet floor, and the floor was very slippery. It was difficult for her to move because of her big belly, so she slipped and fell.
What's even more exasperating is that after my wife's accident, they didn't send her to the hospital immediately, but sent her back to the room to rest...
By the time I rushed over, it was too late, and the child was not kept. "Wang Chao tapped the interrogation chair with his fist, feeling very excited.
"At that time, I had the idea of killing people. My wife and I had not been here for a long time. We borrowed money to go abroad. Most of the money we earned was repaid, and the rest of the money was used to pay for the confinement center. .
But what about them?
This is how I take care of my wife and the child in my womb. Are they human beings who earn such black-hearted money? "
Luke asked, "At that time, which confinement center did you go to?"
"Meicong Confinement Center."
"The confinement center closed down later, does it have anything to do with you?"
"Yes, I reported it.
The confinement center earned black-hearted money. When they didn’t pay the money, they talked about hype, how good the accommodation environment is, one-on-one care, meals for pregnant women, etc.
But after we paid the money, it changed.
But the money has been paid, and they have moved in, so they can only suffer from being dumb.
We don’t even have a legal identity, so how can we fight with others.
After the accident, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I reported the confinement center.
Also save them from cheating more people.
To this day, I still feel that I did the right thing. "
Luke said, "There is nothing wrong with you reporting the confinement center, but why did you kidnap Mrs. Kenneth and that little girl?"
Wang Chao showed a complicated expression, "A few months ago, my wife became pregnant again.
At first she didn’t dare to tell me, I thought something was wrong with her in those days, so she only spoke out when I questioned her.
After hearing the news, I was also in a mixed mood. I was happy. Who is not happy to be a father?
But... I am also afraid, afraid that something like the last time will happen.
My wife wanted to abort the child, but I did not agree, because she had already had a miscarriage once, and if she had another miscarriage, one was worried about her body, and the other was that she would not be able to conceive again in the future.
I want to keep the child, this is my child, if I can't even protect her, am I still a man?
Later, I stopped letting my wife work and raised my baby at home. I worked hard to make money.
But the wife's belly is getting bigger day by day, and a new problem arises, where will the child be born?
At first, my wife wanted to go back to China to have a baby. I thought about it, but I didn't agree.
It’s good to go back to China for a student, the medical conditions are good, and there is no need to worry about it, but... I feel a little bit uncomfortable.
I can't save face.
My wife and I have been here for a few years, but we haven’t accomplished anything, and we haven’t earned any money. Now that we have a baby, we’ve returned home.
Relatives and friends have to laugh to death, and there will definitely be all sorts of ugly things by then.
Originally when my wife and I chose to go abroad, many people made irresponsible remarks. I really don’t want to see their faces again.
nausea.
Why do people have to compare themselves? Is it not good to live your own life? "Wang Chao's face was full of helplessness, and he laughed at himself,
"It is said that they compare, so I am not.
I discussed it with my wife, and decided to produce here and fight again.
Even if you return to your country, you will return home with a green card, and you don’t want to be looked down upon.
We began to investigate the matter of giving birth in the United States again, and found that the best way to obtain legal status for children is to rely on confinement centers.
Very helpless, but there is no way.
Both of us have no identity and can’t do many things, so we can only choose this path.
Later, we wanted to find a better confinement center to avoid the same situation as last time.
As a result, we saw Mrs. Kenneth again. She changed her WeChat ID and sent the same content.
At first glance, I was very angry.
Afterwards, thinking of my wife's miscarriage, I gritted my teeth with hatred.
Seeing that she lied again, even the content of the post on Moments has not changed, it is still the same set of rhetoric for advertising the confinement center, I really can't control it anymore.
This kind of person... is really shameless.
Looking at the pictures she sent, the superior life, the gorgeous clothes, the spacious villa, and look at my wife...
It can’t be like this, it’s wrong, God doesn’t care, I care.
So, I inquired about her, trying to grab a sum of money from her family, which she owed us. "
Luke asked, "How did you find Mrs. Kenneth's address?"
"I looked at her circle of friends and knew that she cooperated with a confinement center called Modern Mom, so I found that confinement center and got her address from the confinement center."
"Which person in the confinement center told you?"
"It's the fat lady at the front desk, she told me."
Luke secretly thought, people, as expected, they only talk about what is good for them, and few people who do business are honest.
"How did the fat lady at the front desk tell you?"
Wang Chao thought for a while, "At the beginning, I said that my relatives wanted to find a confinement center, and we started chatting.
I was indeed inquiring about the confinement center at that time, and wanted to know more about the situation. She saw that my question was quite serious, so she didn't think too much about it.
Later, I inadvertently asked Mrs. Kenneth where she lived, and the fat lady said that community.
Later I asked in detail, and the fat lady realized that she was unwilling to say more.
I went to the community she mentioned to watch, and I saw Mrs. Kenneth.
She lived in a high-end neighborhood, a mansion, and had a mixed-race daughter. I felt that the world was too unfair.
The house she lives in may have the money that was defrauded of me back then.
I became even more angry in my heart, and wanted to get back the money she owed me and do justice for the heavens. "
Luke pressed, "So you plan to kidnap her and her daughter?"
"I didn't intend to kidnap at first, but just wanted to grab a sum of money, which can not only avenge Mrs. Kenneth, but also make up enough money to live in the confinement center.
That night, I thought I was alone, but my wife was worried.
She was wearing a baggy dress, ready to go with me.
If it is in China, I will definitely not agree, but here is the United States, it is easy to buy a gun, and the deterrent effect of a pregnant woman with a gun is stronger than a strong man.
So, we went together that night.
I remember that smelly woman was taking a shower, and when she came out of the bathroom, we directly controlled her with a gun.
That stinky woman still wears lace pajamas when she is old. It is much more expensive than my wife's clothes. To be honest, it looks pretty good.
We controlled Mrs. Kenneth and the little girl, and then pressed them about the whereabouts of their valuables.
As a result, the woman actually said that she was just a nanny, and I was stunned.
It turns out that the mansion and car she posted on Moments are not hers at all, she is just working as a nanny.
I was dumbfounded.
No money was found at home.
I decided to take the risk and kidnap them, and let the little girl's parents take money to ransom them.
I knew it wasn't right, but it got to the point where I didn't have a choice.
You all know what happened next. "
Luke made a stroke on the notebook and asked, "What are you going to do with Madame Venice and that little girl?"
"Want to hear the truth?"
Luke nodded.
Wang Chao smiled, his eyes were a little empty, "I don't know, and I haven't thought about it. But I know that no matter what, I can't let my wife participate.
She's a pregnant woman, and it's not good for her to know too much.
I am going to face it alone. "
Luke probed, "Will you kill them?"
"I probably wouldn't kill that little girl, she has never seen my face, and she was blindfolded on the way.
I may not be able to do it.
But Mrs. Kenneth... she will pay the price, she deserves it. "
Wang Chao did not conceal the facts of the case, and the confession was smooth, because there were witnesses, and he could not deny it even if he wanted to.
The case was solved, and Luke's mood was not relaxed, but rather heavy.
Wang Chao and his wife are not bad in nature, they just want to pursue a better life, but it is a pity that good fortune tricks others, and they are step by step on the road of no return.
The reason is that Luke feels that they are not living calmly enough. It is illegal to work illegally. He has to worry about the immigration bureau and government departments all day long. He probably doesn’t even dare to speak loudly. It's easy to get into trouble.
Luke didn't want to condemn the couple either, it was more of a kind of helplessness.
As a human being in the second life, he knows that life is not easy, and not everyone has the courage to live another life.
If you go to the street for an interview, the topic is "Will you come back in the next life?"
Luke believes that many people will choose not to come.
Before, Luke couldn't figure out why good people didn't live long enough to harm others for thousands of years, and felt that the world was unfair.
From another perspective, if you were in hell, it would be a kind of happiness to leave first.
Of course, people should not be too negative, since they have come to this world, they should live well.
Luke didn't feel sad for too long, and he didn't have the qualifications to complain.
With the Detective System, he is destined to be cheating in his life.
…
The case was solved.
Everyone is going to the bar to have a small gathering at night.
Xiao Hei and Luke drive a car, they have a ride together, and chat with each other.
Xiao Hei was driving, and generally asked, "Will David come tonight?"
Luke shook his head, "I asked, he has a mission tonight, so he can't come."
Xiao Hei shrugged, "It's a pity, I still want to talk to him about this case."
"What are you talking about? It's not like he hasn't handled a case before."
"Of course we are talking about rescuing the hostages. We have successfully rescued two hostages." Xiao Heibi pointed out two fingers,
"Man, this is a big deal and I'm so proud of both of us."
Luke laughed. Although Xiao Hei was suspected of boasting, he not only successfully rescued the hostages this time, but there were no casualties. The case was indeed handled beautifully.
Xiao Hei blinked his eyes wide, "Luke, do you think we will have rewards this time?"
Luke looked down at the phone before asking, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
"Promoted! I've been a detective for a long time, and you're the deputy now. I can't be Detective Marcus. I have to follow in your footsteps."
Deputy Luke and Inspector Marcus, it’s only fitting to say that. "
"You're right, I also think you're about to get promoted?" Luke said perfunctorily, bowed his head and typed on his mobile phone.
"Really?" Xiao Hei looked expectant.
Luke didn't answer, but sent a message on his cell phone.
Xiao Hei frowned, "Dude, I'm talking to you, why are you so absent-minded."
Luke put down the phone, "I'm chatting with Daisy, ask her what time she gets off work tonight."
Xiao Hei pouted, "What relationship do you two belong to now?"
"Boyfriend and boyfriend."
Xiao Hei shook his head, "I don't think so."
"Why not?"
"Remember when I was with Julian? She used to call me in the evenings, asking me what time I was coming home, if I wanted to have dinner, stuff like that.
But we drank together, even if it was late, I didn't see Daisy calling you. "
"We don't live together."
"That's not a reason not to call."
Luke shrugged, "Maybe...she's too busy."
"Dude, you're a smart guy, you shouldn't make such a **** excuse."
"I'm not looking for excuses, we are quite compatible in some aspects, such as helping each other in life.
In bed, she also enjoyed being with me. "
Xiao Hei smiled, "I can understand that your relationship should be between a couple and a friend with benefits.
One step forward is a couple, one step back is a friend with benefits. In fact, I quite like your relationship.
Usually everyone is busy with their own work, there is enough space, and they will not overly interfere with their lives. It is good to make an appointment when you have time. "
Luke shook his head, "You seem to understand what you said, so what's going on with you and Julian?"
"Uh... this is more complicated. In fact, the two of us are more suitable, but I don't want to get married." Speaking of this, Xiao Hei seems to have remembered something interesting,
"One night, the two of us did it together on the windowsill." Seeing Luke glance at him, Xiao Hei nodded affirmatively, and said with a smile,
"Yeah, exactly what you think.
Then, we accidentally fell off the ledge.
I even bought Karma. At that time, we were only wearing our tops and just rolled on the lawn like that.
There happened to be a car passing by, and an aunt sitting in the passenger cab was stunned.
LOL... what a crazy night. "
Luke looked at Xiao Hei, "Poor guy, have you noticed that you often mention Julian recently, and you can't help laughing every time."
"Yeah?"
"Yes.
"Uh...that means I'm completely let go.
"Are you sure you're not missing her?"
Xiao Hei showed a lonely look, "I...I have to let go, it's good for her and good for me."
The car fell silent, and neither of them spoke.
Suddenly, Xiao Hei stepped on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road.
Luke fell forward, dissatisfied, "Are you stimulated? And said that he didn't miss Julian."
"No, I didn't stop because of Julian." Xiao Hei pointed to the right front of the car.
Luke looked up, and not far away was a black woman dragging a large trolley case, followed by a teenage boy.
Laura and Jaden.
Why are they here?
Xiao Hei got out of the car and waved, "Laura, Jaden, why are you here? Why are you still dragging your luggage?"
Luke also got out of the car and nodded.
Jaden said, "Marcus, I was trying to contact you...please help."
Marcus asked concerned, "What's the matter, buddy?"
Jaden didn't speak, but glanced at Laura next to him.
"Laura, what's wrong?"
Laura pursed her lips and sighed, "We owed the rent and were kicked out by the landlord."
"Arrears of rent?" Xiao Hei was a little surprised, "Why are you in arrears of rent? Didn't the police department refund you part of the money? It should be enough to live for a long time."
Laura said helplessly, "I... I was cheated, and I lost all my money."
"What? You have been deceived? Who have you been deceived?" Xiao Hei's face was full of doubts.
Laura seemed a little embarrassed, "A friend, a beast that I regard as a friend, when we first met, he was very kind to me and cared about me.
He knew that Jaden's father was dead, and he always comforted me and encouraged me to come out.
also said that he also grew up in a single-parent family, so he can understand and sympathize with the difficulty of a single mother.
So, he is willing to help me and bring me to invest together. "
When Laura said this, she hesitated to speak.
Xiao Hei asked, "How did he trick you into investing?"
"He said that there is a profitable project, which is in the cusp of investment, and the return on investment is extremely high, and he wants to invite me to invest together.
I was a little worried at first, but he was very enthusiastic. I thought he was not a bad person, so I tried to invest a thousand dollars.
Later, as he said, I really made money, and I will be able to make a profit soon after investing, and I can directly use the software to withdraw cash.
Later, I increased my investment, and in the end, I lost all of it.
I just realized that I was cheated. "
Xiao Hei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
A woman, a black woman...
Why…
After a long time, Luke asked, "Where are you going?"
Laura pointed to the rescue center on the right, "We originally planned to go to the rescue station, but it was already full, so we had no choice but to leave."
Xiao Hei looked at Laura, then at Jaden, "Come with me."
A group of people entered the rescue station again. There were many people lying in the hall, including homeless men, homeless women, and some with children like Laura.
Even in a prosperous city, there are people at the bottom who have difficulties in life.
Xiao Hei walked to the front desk of the service station. There was a glass window, and a middle-aged Latina woman was sitting inside.
"Hey, I'm Detective Marcus. I found a mother and child who need help on the side of the road. Can you let them live in?"
The Latina elder sister looked at Laura and Jaden, and said helplessly, "Sorry, there are only 90 beds in the rescue station, and they are already full."
Xiao Hei said, "It's so late, and it's really difficult for single mothers with a child. Can you help me find a bed?"
The Latina lady sighed, "Detective Marcus, I can understand your feelings, but look at those people in the hall, they are all waiting in line for a bed.
It is indeed full, and there is nothing I can do about it.
You should go to other rescue stations to see. "
Xiao Hei glanced at the crowd in the hall, and had no choice but to take Laura and Jaden away.
"You guys wait here."
After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he and Luke walked aside to communicate.
Luke asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Take them to other relief stations. If I don't care, they will definitely sleep on the street." After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he shrugged, "Sorry, you can only take a taxi to the bar."
"Good luck." Luke said hello to Jaden's mother and son before leaving.
Xiao Hei patted Jaden on the shoulder and comforted him, "Comeon, I'll take you to other rescue stations, and find a place to live first.
As for the defrauded money, I will ask the Economic Crime Division tomorrow to see if I can get the money back. "
