Apology

It was getting dark, the street lights were on, and the black Chevrolet Saabban started to drive slowly towards the hospital. It was just after work, so the road was a little congested.

Ben and Dana each had a burger and talked as they ate. Lewis had already led the team and visited the place where Wang Hai had been active in the past few months.

Unfortunately, the results are not ideal. Wang Hai lost money and had no job, so he could only stray on the street. Although Flushing is prosperous and is the second economic zone in NY, who cares about the whereabouts of the homeless? Even if Lewis finds other homeless people, there is nothing to gain.

Ben did not give up. He ordered Lewis to lead the team to visit those restaurants. All the places where Wang Hai had been, Lewis had to go and take a look. There might be some gains.

In the car, Dana after eating Hamburg, holding Ice Cola in one hand, fiddling with her mobile phone in one hand, and said, "Rebecca has received news that the doctor has just left the intensive care unit. The situation of the Chinese-American may not be very good. It hurts his right frontal lobe and could become a vegetative. "

"I want background information!" Ben asked.

"It's all here, I want to hear from you!" Dana said, "First of all, this Chinese guy is unlucky. His name is Vinson Schneider. He followed his mother's name and died from a car accident with his father ..."

Vinson Schneider, male, under 16 years old, a high school student at Flushing Middle School. Like other Chinese, he is very gifted in learning. His homework is basically excellent. Because of this, he is in ten He was admitted to high school when he was five years old.

Also like other Chinese, Vinson is timid and intimidating. He is the bullying target of campus bullies. Not long after entering school, he was spotted by the baseball team's Bote Igo and ordered to pay a certain amount every week. Protection costs.

Perhaps because of his father's premature death, Vinson Schneider was unusually insecure and had a weak temper. He was once reluctant to speak, but fortunately, there was a young man who helped him through that time. Joseph Stigler, a child of a black engineer.

"Vinson follows his mother's last name Schneider," Dana Alison said. "The Schnett family is not very large. In addition to Vinson's mother Carrie Schnett, there is also Crewe Schneider. , Vincent's uncle, Carrie's brother, and George Schnett, the brother of Schnett's siblings, Vinson's grandfather, a retired police officer! "

Ben Tonks drove while listening to Dana's background information.

After graduating from high school, Carrie Schnett met Vinson's father, a chef in a Chinese restaurant. Conquered by his cooking skills, the two soon got together and had children.

Unfortunately, not long after the child was born, the chef was involved in a car accident. Carrie took the heavy responsibility of raising the child alone. While working, she also went to college. Now she is a hotel manager with an annual salary of about $ 100,000.

With the help of his sister, Crewe Schnett became a second-hand car dealer. In addition to selling used cars, he also has his own repair shop. He has a good life. He is currently divorced and has two daughters. go to school.

Old Schnett is a police officer in a small town in New York State. He has just retired not long ago and lives alone in the town without much connection with the children of Flushing.

"That said, is there a problem with the Schnett family?" Ben Tonks asked.

"No problem, Rebecca has identified everyone, including the chef." Dana Allison said, "This is indeed a very unexpected accident!"

Dana followed Ben Tonks for a short time, knowing that Ben had a very delicate mind and a suspicious personality, so she was not surprised in the face of Ben's inquiry.

As an FBI, everything must be taken into account that Vinson is a victim, but he appeared at the wrong time, so there was reason to suspect that even though Vinson was only a child.

The investigation is always correct. Although the results are consistent with expectations, and although there are some suspects of wasting resources, some possibilities are ruled out. Even if these are the smallest and almost impossible, they can give them peace of mind.

The Schnett family is no problem, and the Stigler family is also no problem. This is a typical black family of the elite class, raising three children, and Luther is the youngest.

Perhaps because of Vinson's influence, Luther's grades are also very good. Before he was sixteen, he was admitted to Flushing Middle School with Vinson, so he was subject to bullying on campus as Vinson.

The FBI made a very detailed investigation of the situation. Today all day, the activities of Vinson and Luther were clearly marked, and even what they said on the street restored the general content.

"Interesting, do you even know M-13 for these two unlucky ones?" Ben-chan laughed.

"The development momentum of M-13 is very strong. Last year, Flushing entered New York as a breakthrough. In just 11 months, the site expanded wildly and there were many conflicts with the New York gang. Flushing had three more shootings and all were shot by Police suspect that there is no evidence, "Dana Alison said." This makes it more famous in Flushing! "

Ben Tonks frowned, but ended up saying nothing.

In principle, as the FBI, he is obliged to eliminate gangs, but he has his own rules in the bureau, and he ca n't mess around, and there are many crime cases and insufficient staffing.

Gangs have been a common occurrence in the United States, and even if they are attentive, they are powerless.

The black Saabban stopped walking on the street for more than half an hour, and then stopped at the entrance of Flushing Hospital. The two got off and went directly to the hospital's accommodation building.

...

Mr. Stigler arrived at the hospital a little later than Carrie Schnett, and when he entered Luther's room, his wife was already in the ward.

The two NYPDs are taking notes for Luther, and Mr. Stigler doesn't know what happened. With his knowledge of the young children, he doesn't think Luther has done anything dangerous.

On the phone, he didn't know what happened. He just heard the phone from the hospital and knew that his son was injured.

After understanding the whole thing, Mr. Stigler's vest was sweating cold, a bullet that went out of the fire. This was indeed an accident, but it almost killed the lives of two children.

Fortunately, Luther was not a big deal. He just hurt his arm and scratched his skin. Otherwise, he might not calmly chat with New York police officers.

The NYPD was sent away, and Mr. Stigler entered the ward.

"I'm fine, how is Vinson?" Luther was frightened, his face was a little stiff, looked at his mother blankly, and asked.

"Rest assured, I just went to see Carrie," Mrs. Stigler said. "The operation was very successful. The bullets have been taken out. As long as it is safe to spend these two nights, it will be fine!"

"Thank goodness!" Mr. Stigler exhaled softly.

The Stigler family and the Schnett family have a good relationship. Carrie is a kind and self-improving woman. She has no prejudice against black families. In addition, the two are neighbors. They are separated by a fence and usually help each other. He often comes to parties to party. He doesn't want anything for Vinson. Carrie is unfortunate enough.

"I want to see him!" Luther said on the bed.

"Still waiting," Mrs. Stigler comforted. "Vinson has just finished the operation. He needs a quiet environment to cultivate. Will you go better when you get better?"

Luther opened his mouth, but finally obediently, nodded obediently.

Mrs. Stigler smiled and kissed Luther, bowed his quilt, and pulled her husband out of the ward.

"The medical expenses were just mentioned by the two police officers just now. It was all an accident, and there will be related agencies to help us pay for it." Mrs. Stigler said softly.

"Do you know which agency?" Mr. Stigler asked.

"I don't know," Mrs. Stigler shook her head. "The two police officers asked me to keep it secret. Even the cost was secretly reimbursed, and no list was left. Jeff, this is not easy!"

"I know, I know!" Jeff Stigler sat on the bench. "I searched the Internet and there were no relevant news reports, not even local Flushing news."

"What does it mean?" Mrs. Stigler was a little startled.

"Don't worry, dear!" Jeff held his wife back. "As long as Luther is okay! We don't need to get into trouble, do we?"

"While saying so, but ..." Mrs. Stigler whispered in pain, "I lied to Luther just now. Vinson's condition is very bad. He may never wake up again, and he will Vegetative! "

"How can this be?" Jeff was startled.

"How terrible it was that the bullet entered Vincent's head!" Mrs. Stigler pinched Jeff's arm. "He and Luther are walking side by side. If the two change positions, they are now seriously ill. Luther was in the ward, and the moment I thought of this scene, I was terrified. It was terrible! "

"Well, everything is over, at least Luther is not in danger." Jeff sighed softly. "Poor Carrie, she has always been proud of Vinson ... shall we see her later, shall we?"

Mrs. Stigler nodded, and at this moment Ben and Dana came to the two of them.

"Mr. Stigler and Mrs. Stigler?" He asked, smiling.

Jeff and his wife stood up, and he nodded slightly, "Jeff Stigler, I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"

Ben pulled out his credentials, "FBI!"

Jeff and his wife looked at each other, "It's the child's business, is it the FBI?"

Ben nodded, "I'm sorry for such an accident. We were tracking a fugitive more than two hours ago, but unfortunately it was a bit late for the killer to fire this shot!"

Jeff showed anger on his face. He wanted to say something, but couldn't open his mouth. He was panicked. Mrs. Stigler said angrily, "The object of your apology is not us, but pity. Carrie ...
