Chapter 459: Donations and hand-me-downs(1/2)
Kai came out of the interrogation room yawning and turned to call Chap to come out and have breakfast together.
As a result, he bumped into someone just as he turned around.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Kai quickly grabbed the person he knocked down.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kai apologized while helping the man to his feet.
It wasn't until this moment that Kai saw clearly who he had knocked down. It was a black girl. This girl was very pretty... For Easterners, using this word to describe a black person is already the limit. Generally speaking, this
Black girls are beautiful.
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't see the road clearly." The girl was also very polite.
Kai waved his hands and didn't take this matter to heart. He just treated it as a small incident. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the work badge on the girl's chest.
"Wait a minute!" Kai stopped the girl who was about to leave.
When Kai stopped her, the girl's body visibly trembled, like a naughty student caught by the teacher.
"Iris! Why are you here?" Fortunately, Chap came out of the interrogation room at this time and happened to see the black girl.
"You know him?" Kai asked.
"Yes. She is the daughter of Sheriff Joe West of the Southern District Major Crime Unit. She is now... Wait a minute, Iris, how did you get in? Oh, damn, you won't sneak in for another interview.
Right?" Chap thought of Iris's criminal record and immediately shouted.
"Uncle Chap... don't say that. The public has the right to know. I'm just reporting the facts." Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Iris immediately defended his behavior confidently.
Kai also knew now that this girl was a reporter.
"Iris? Why are you here! I'm looking for you!" But at this moment, Chloe ran over with a box in her arms. Looking at the sweat on her nose, she looked very anxious. "Phew!
Give!"
Iris took the box with a confused look.
"What's this?"
Chloe wiped her sweat and said with a bright face: "Donation! This is our donation to Barry."
Ares fell silent when he heard this.
Kai was confused, what happened?
He looked at Chap.
Chap explained to Kai in a low voice.
It turns out that this girl named Iris has a brother, who is not technically a brother. In short, there is a white boy named Barry who was killed by Iris's father, the South District Major Crime Detective, more than ten years ago.
She was adopted by Sheriff Joe from the team. So Barry and Iris grew up together, and there was no problem in calling him her younger brother.
Some time ago, the boy named Barry was struck by lightning...
Now he is lying in the hospital in a vegetative state.
Kai blinked and suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
Lightning……
A must-have for time travel!
Is this child destined to be the Chosen One?
Of course, all of the above are just nonsense. Even if Kai never ran away again, he would not joke with others about this. In short, because Barry became a vegetative state, he could only lie on the hospital bed. Although he also has medical insurance, it is similar to that in China.
Medical insurance in the United States does not reimburse all medical expenses. And medical expenses in the United States are really expensive!
Joe is a veteran police chief with a high crime detection rate and a hatred of evil. Many police officers in the Los Angeles Police Department know him and have a high prestige. Now that something has happened, many police stations have begun to make spontaneous donations.
No, Chloe also initiated a donation to the West District Police Station.
"Except for being a bit arrogant, that kid has no other problems. He is a good kid, and he is also a forensic examiner at the Southern District Police Department. He has very good abilities... What a pity." Chap said as he took out his wallet.
, withdrew several hundred dollars and stuffed them into the donation box.
Iris wanted to refuse...but their family really needed money. Although Barry's medical expenses are currently covered by medical insurance and life insurance, no one can tell when Barry will wake up. So Iris did not refuse everyone.
kindness.
Americans are very good at this, but they are not pretentious.
Chloe was very happy to see Iris receiving the donation. Then she saw Kai.
"Boss! You can't just watch!"
Westerners are very enthusiastic about charity, but they don’t like moral kidnapping as much as in China. After all, whether to donate or not is a personal behavior, and it should be done according to one’s ability. However, after Chloe and Kai got along, they considered themselves to be their bosses who understood them.
.
If nothing else, at least Chloe could tell from Kai's low-key but extremely expensive clothes that Kai was not short of money. Besides, Kai didn't look like a stingy person.
Sure enough, when he heard what Chloe said, Kai didn't think much about it. He didn't feel like he was being morally kidnapped. After all, others didn't say that he should donate more if he had money, which was just a thought.
Kai doesn't have the habit of carrying cash. In fact, Americans don't have the habit of carrying cash either. Not many people like Chap carry hundreds of dollars in their wallets. Most Americans are used to using credit cards. But Kai doesn't.
Too accustomed to credit cards, he is more accustomed to Micro and Alipay. But there is no such payment terminal in the United States.
Although there is no payment terminal, Kai has other options.
Checkbook.
Kai took out a check book from his pocket, swiped a number, and was about to throw it into the donation box.
In his previous life, Kai had almost never been exposed to checks... Anyway, in Kai's opinion, checks are very high-end things and are only used by high-end business people. They were all shown like this on TV. This made Kai always think it was cool to do so.
So whether it's a pretense or a deliberate act, Kai pays by check most of the time, and many places in the United States also accept this payment method, and you can write a check for just a few dollars.
Chloe was curious about how much Kai would donate, so she grabbed the check midway.
This is a very rude behavior. After all, it is more or less a personal wish. For Chloe to snatch it away like this seems to be an invasion of personal privacy. If Kai were a pure-blooded American, he might be angry, but Kai has always been Chinese at heart.
People, they are more accepting of this kind of thing. Chinese people are not as rigid in looking at things as Americans, and Chinese people prefer to look at motives.
For example, many celebrities donate money. Many people don't really care how much the celebrity donates. But depending on his motivation, if the celebrity's donation is for the title of a picture, then it's over, and all kinds of boycotts will come. This kind of thing is sometimes quite annoying.
.After all, when celebrities engage in charity, how many of them really don’t do anything?
That's a long way to go, but Kai could tell that Chloe didn't have any ill intentions and was just out of curiosity.
"Wow! Ten thousand dollars!"
Kai directly signed the check for ten thousand dollars. This is a large amount of money no matter where it is placed. At least the police department cannot donate more than this amount.
"Is it too much?" Kai saw Chloe's expression and thought he had donated too much.
Iris quickly waved his hand: "You don't need so much."
Iris doesn't know Kai's situation. If you look at the income of a normal police officer, Kai has donated a lot. Based on Kai's position and police rank, his annual income is about $84,000.
The maximum amount will not exceed 100,000 US dollars. This donation of 10,000 US dollars is definitely a huge amount of money.
But Chloe was very open-minded. She didn't care about Iris's refusal at all and directly stuffed the check into the donation box.
"Don't worry about him, he is a rich man."
After saying that, he ignored Ares and said to Kai: "Here comes Joe. Among the people we arrested, two of them are related to a shooting case in the South District. Joe plans to add the case to the case."
Kai nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Just leave it to Dan. I just want to sleep now." He nodded to Iris and took Chap out. We can't ask until we reach a deal with those guys, so we might as well take advantage of it.
Take a good rest during this time.
…
Iris looked at Kai leaving, still a little overwhelmed. After all, he had given too much.
When Chloe saw Iris like this, she smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't feel embarrassed, I can tell you with certainty that our leader is very rich!" After speaking, Chloe secretly looked around and whispered: "I'm telling you, our leader is very rich."
Long's relationship is very...you know."
With a reporter's sensitivity to news, Iris immediately grasped the key points.
"Is he the mysterious man who was rumored to be having an affair with Charlize Theron?" Iris also remembered where she had seen Kai. A lot of people were paying attention to the scandal of Charlize Theron in the past two days.
