Chapter 454: Slums


"Quite a poignant love story."

At some point, they came to Spike and the organizers.Amanda sighed with emotion as she listened to the organizer's description of what happened to Daniel Robithai before his death, and then immediately asked Spike on the side."

What do you see?"

She didn't ask Spike to come over so that he could see his work at the exhibition."

Beautiful paintings, sad people."

His eyes fell on the portrait of Daniel Robithai's last lover before his death, and Spike replied in a tone of distraction.Immediately afterward, he turned his head to look at Amanda Road on the side."

Where are we going next?"

…… Bang – Washington, favelas.As soon as he got out of the car, Spike felt the probing gaze coming from all directions."

BSI case!"

Pulling out her ID and pistol, Amanda warns the black people in the slums.Faced with the threat of a pistol in Amanda's hand, the blacks in the slums turned their eyes back."

Whew~" Feeling the malice cast around her gradually dissipate, Amanda breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face eased a little.Washington, as the political center of the United States.The most famous thing is not the performance of politicians, but the poor law and order environment.For a long time, Washington was called the world's most dangerous capital, and the crime rate in the borough far exceeded that of any other city in the United States.The most critical reason for all this is naturally the gathering of black people.For historical reasons, by the seventies and eighties of the last century, the black population in Washington, D.C. once exceeded 70 percent.It is precisely because there are so many blacks that the law and order situation in Washington has always been unmanageable.It may be education, it may be the economy, it may be the living environment, which leads to the fact that the crime rate of black people in the United States is relatively high.Affected by the high crime rate, many people who come to the United States for tourism, the tour guide will repeatedly remind him that he must not go to the black area in Washington, and at the same time, if he is not forced to go out at night, if he really can't go out, then he must put 20 dollars in his wallet, so that if he encounters a black person who asks you, give him the 20 dollars, because he has a high probability of robbery, and if he doesn't give him money, people will break you with a gun.Although, with the influence of economic factors, some blacks slowly migrated out of Washington, and the proportion was reduced to 50%, which made a significant change in law and order in Washington.However, throughout Washington, there are still quite a few slums where blacks gather.Right now, the area Amanda and others are visiting is a corner of Washington's ghetto.The reason why they rushed here was naturally to investigate the frequent killings in Washington during this time.According to the local police department in Washington, the next victim of a candy murder was a black woman living in a slum.Following the address provided by the police station, Amanda and the others arrived at the house where the victim lived.Dilapidated buildings, poor sound insulation, fit the definition of a slum dwelling perfectly.Bang bang - because the elevator failed, the three had to go up the stairs to the fifth floor.Standing in front of 502, Amanda exchanged glances with the two behind her, and then reached out and knocked on the heavy door."

Hey, who?!"

The knock on the door brought to an abrupt end the quarrel and commotion in the house.It was a few seconds before an alert voice came from inside the house."

We're agents from BSI.""......" heard Amanda's answer from the door, and the voice in the house was silent for a moment before replying: "Regarding Natalie's death, I have already made it clear to those guys at the police station, and I don't care about my affairs at all, what else do you have to ask!"

”It can be seen that the man in the house is very resistant to the investigation and is unwilling to open the door at all."

Please cooperate with our investigation, sir."

Looking at the door that had always been closed in front of her, Amanda raised her hand and knocked heavily on the door again, and then warned in too loud a voice."

If you don't open the door again, we're going to have to take tough measures."

Click.Apparently, Amanda's threat played a role.As her words fell, the closed door opened, and a black man with a decadent expression appeared in front of everyone."

Alright, I've opened the door."

Raise your hand and make a cooperative gesture towards Amanda and the others at the door.He didn't want to be shot dead by these BSI agents because of this kind of thing.Looking at the black man who appeared at the door, Angela beside Spike couldn't help frowning, she smelled a familiar smell from the house, and couldn't help frowning, "You're smoking a big ......

Hemp......?

”"This kind of thing should not be your business."

In the United States, smoking large ......

Hemp is not something unacceptable, in fact, many Americans have more or less experience of smoking, so in the face of Angela's questioning, the black man in the room did not have any worry on his face."

It's not our business."

Shaking his head, he didn't dwell too much on the issue of the man's smoking.This is a slum, and if you really want to track it down, more than eighty percent, if not more people here, have similar experiences.Amanda: They didn't come here to change the law and order in the slums.Stepping past the man, Spike enters the house.What you can see is a mess in the house, with clothes and junk food piled up everywhere, and you can even see a half-smoked ...... on the table Hemp.Looking around, not finding many useful clues, Spike begins to wander around the house on his own."

How long have you been with Natalie?"

Glancing at Spike as he wandered around the room, Amanda turned her attention back to the black man in front of her and asked."

It was a while, until she got nervous.""

Nervous?""

That's right, it was an accident that I was with Natalie, I had no money at that time, and Natalie was willing to let me stay, so we were together, at first she was a little strange, but acceptable, but in the following days she became more and more nervous, I suspect that she was because she had taken too much and had a brain problem.""

In that case, then why are you still with her.""

I don't have any money, and when I leave here, I have to sleep in the park, not to mention that although Natalie has a personality problem, at least she can provide me with food, shelter, and even solve my daily physiological needs."
