North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 30 Interview
The next day, Jimmy went back early in the morning. He passed by the supermarket and bought some ginger and green onions. He went home and made himself a ginger soup. After drinking, he wrapped himself in a quilt and continued to sleep.

Today is a rest day. Jimmy woke up and lay down and didn't want to get up. He seems to be in good health. After half a day, there is no sign of fever or cold.

After staying up until the urge to urinate increased, Jimmy hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom to fill in the water and wash up.After I came out, I saw that the ginger and onion I bought were still there, so I made another bowl of ginger soup, and continued to lie on the bed and watch TV after drinking.

The "Didi" phone rang, and Jimmy answered the phone. It was Director James.

"Hi, Director."

"Hi, Jimmy, you did a good job last night. Mr. Anderson has woken up. Come to the police station, and the government has arranged an interview."

"Okay, Chief. Anything else?"

"No more, that's it. Goodbye"

"Goodbye, Chief."

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

Jimmy hasn’t bought a car for several months. It’s not that second-hand cars are so expensive. The main reason is that he now spends more than ten hours a day driving a police car. His own car is not just needed, he just drives to the police station and back home. That's all.There are familiar taxi drivers, just make a phone call, and you can pick yourself up in a few minutes, which is also very convenient.

When he arrived at the police station, Jimmy found a man and a woman chatting with Chief James in the chief's office. There is a large window in the chief's office that can directly see the hall. When Chief James saw Jimmy arriving, he beckoned him in.

"Jimmy, this is Jessica, reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Jessica, that's Jimmy, Jimmy Young, the best young man on our department."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yang. I'm sorry to make you come to the police station during the holiday. Our interview will start now, okay?"

"Jimmy, entertain them well and answer their questions well. Jessica, I still have to leave beforehand, so you can interview here." After the introduction, the director opened the door and walked out.

The photographer next to him instructed Jimmy to sit on the single sofa next to him, adjusted his position and posture, and took a few photos after ten minutes of tossing. When he was satisfied, he took the camera and went out, leaving reporters Jessica and Jimmy behind. Continue the interview.

"Jimmy, please introduce yourself briefly."

"Okay, I was born in Little Rock, went to school, worked after high school, signed up for the police academy 3 years ago, went to the State Police Highway Patrol after graduation, came back to Little Rock this year, joined the Pulaski County Police bureau."

"Tell me what happened last night."

"OK, I was on the night shift last night. I was patrolling the road. I smelled smoke, but I didn't find a fire. Then I followed the wind direction to find the house on fire. I asked my neighbors that there were still people inside, so I rushed in and put the house on fire. Mr. Anderson brought it out. No, it's that simple."

"Oh, we have already learned about this, can you explain in detail the process of saving people?"

"Sorry, some details may be related to the case report, so I can't provide it for the time being. If Director James thinks it can be provided, you can directly check my case report."

"Okay, I will apply to Director James. Then, let's continue. Do you know that you are the first Chinese policeman in Pulaski County?"

"Really? I haven't really paid attention to this. Being a policeman and fighting criminals has always been my goal, so I never paid attention to this kind of news when I joined the police academy and the county police station."

"Yes, not only the County Police Department, but also the Little Rock City Police Department has no Chinese police officers. Do you think this is discrimination? Because most of the police officers are now white."

Jimmy was sweating a little. Before he was reborn, there were racial movements in the United States one after another. This kind of topic is a huge trap, and you must not fall into it.

"I'm honored to be the first Chinese policeman in the county police." Jimmy reached out and took two bottles of water from the chief's desk, handed Jessica a bottle, and then opened his own bottle.This is purely delaying time, so I can organize the language.

"I don't think there is any discrimination against Chinese in the police station because I am the only Chinese policeman. In fact, it is mainly because the number of Chinese in Little Rock is too small.

If you pay attention to the surrounding environment, you will find that it is difficult to see Chinese people nearby.Although I don't have specific figures, I estimate that the number of Chinese residents in Little Rock should not exceed 1500, and there is no gathering area like 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 in front of you when you investigate the population structure. "

Jimmy paused and continued, "I think that as the overall number of Chinese increases, Chinese need to participate in more social roles. There will definitely be more and more Chinese working in the police station like me. Similarly, in In all walks of life, we can also see more Chinese taking up different positions."

Jessica saw that he hadn't entered the pit, so she didn't say anything. She simply asked Jimmy about some interesting things that happened while on duty, and then ended the interview.

In fact, if only one person was rescued at the fire scene, there is no need to dispatch reporters and cameramen to interview. Firefighters do such things every day. The biggest highlight this time is actually Jimmy’s identity as a Chinese.

As I said just now, Jimmy is the only Chinese police officer in the county police department. At the same time, as the capital of Arkansas, Little Rock has no history of Chinese police officers. For this record-setting person, he is the biggest gimmick in 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 rather troublesome social issue in 2000. The overall image of the Chinese is weak, and the crime rate is even lower compared to other races. very conspicuous.

As for the victim of yesterday's fire, Mr. Anderson, who was rescued by Jimmy heroically, he is probably in a state of desperation right now.

Why does Anderson have a headache?Um, because he needs to pay for the expenses of the ambulance and fire engine. Since he was drunk at the time, there was no way to refuse the ambulance and fire engine on the spot. These expenses are enough for him to drink a pot.

In addition, the house has been burned down, and the valuables in the house are probably gone. Unless he has a large deposit or a relatively high credit score and can get a loan from the bank, he is likely to become a new homeless person. Chinese.

The cost of dispatching ambulances and fire trucks in the United States is very high. Many people are unwilling to call an ambulance, and fire trucks are even more expensive. Many fire stations in the United States are privately run, and they are enterprises, not China. public government agencies.
