Reborn American Giants

Leaving the hospital, telling De Verti to take good care of her injuries, and asking Scabbers' wife Filaco to take good care of her, Victor hurried back to Fandino.

Civil war, economic collapse, public security chaos and other reasons have not affected the joy of the people in the slums for the arrival of Christmas. They bought enough meat and fruits from the market, and the women at home took out their clay pots.

After washing it, prepare it on the festival day. Cut the meat into small pieces, then add some vegetables, spices and seasonings, simmer over low heat for half a day, and a pot of pottery stew that is enough for the whole family will be freshly baked for the whole family.

We will sit around the dining table and enjoy the festive food and happiness.

Moreover, the lives of the people in the slums are much better now. Fandino Construction Company won the construction contract for 40% of the public housing in San Salvador. Bento followed Victor's instructions and began further expansion. Fandino Construction Company

Many people around the Dino slum have chosen to join construction companies. Although the construction work at the construction site is very hard, the salary is only about 7-10 US dollars a day, which is not as good as working for a gang.

But this is a long-term job, and it is not like working for a gang. Although the money is more, you need to put your head up and fight with your life. Therefore, many people who originally joined gangs just to make a living have chosen to join.

Fandino Construction Company.

The Fandino Construction Company managed by Bento has expanded rapidly and has now become a large construction company with nearly 4,000 employees and more than 500 construction vehicles of various types. In addition to the last phase of resettlement housing, commercial street construction and

He put all the finishing work of the hospital into the construction of public housing in various neighborhoods in the city. Even so, Bento often applied to Victor for additional manpower.

Back at the small building, Victor was about to get out of the car. Banban, who had been guarding the door for a long time, quickly came over. He opened the car door and whispered in Victor's ear, "Sir, that Director Bender's secretary, Stian."

The police officer contacted me and said there was something important that he needed to tell you in person."

Victor pondered for a moment, then he patted Atuo, who was sitting in the front driver's seat, on the shoulder and said, "Follow the address Banban said."

Banban grabbed the back of the driver's seat, leaned up, and told Atuo the address, then turned around and sat down, looking at Victor with his eyes closed, wondering what he was thinking.

The vehicle quickly arrived at Stian's single apartment building near the police headquarters on Hayden Street. When Stian heard a knock on the door and opened the door, Victor found that the once high-spirited chief secretary's eyes were swollen and his face was unshaven.

Looking haggard, he saw Victor and his group standing outside the door, and stepped aside in panic. Victor waved to Ato, asking them to wait outside the door, and then stepped into the room.

The room is very small. There is a single bed placed against the wall on the left. The quilt is wrapped in a ball and thrown on the bed. Next to it is a wardrobe. The curtains are tightly closed. There is only one bedside lamp turned on in the room, which causes light.

It was very dark, and a strange smell similar to that of dried salted fish eagerly stimulated Victor's sense of smell, causing him to reach out and cover his nose.

Standing in front of the sofa, Victor didn't dare to sit down at all. There was a pile of messy dirty clothes on it, a sock on the armrest of the sofa, several empty wine bottles and several white plastic bottles on the low table.

The bagged leftover soup dripping with soup should be the source of that strange smell.

After closing the door, Christian stood uneasily behind Victor. He secretly stretched out his feet to push a pair of shoes on the floor to the foot of the bed. Noticing Victor's gaze, he hurried forward and returned the sofa to the sofa.

After collecting the clothes and garbage on the table, he said hurriedly: "Congressman Jose, I'm so sorry. I just told Mr. Banban the news. I didn't expect you to come so soon... I'm really sorry."

"Okay," Victor stopped Steve, who was holding a pile of dirty clothes and didn't know where to put them. "Stop being busy. I heard Banban tell me that you said you had something very important to tell me.

What exactly happened?"

Steve turned around, piled all the dirty clothes in his arms on the bed, and then put the quilt over it to cover it, as if these "dirty things" no longer existed, he turned around,

He bent slightly to face Victor, rubbing his hands nervously, and his brown pupils shone with anticipation and panic.

"Uh... Congressman Jose, as you know, Chief Bande suddenly "committed suicide" and was also suspected of corruption and bribery. As his secretary, I was also called to the ground by the prosecutors of the District Attorney's Office.

The prosecutor's office conducted an investigation..."

"They asked me a lot of questions, some of which I knew, and I answered them honestly," Stian raised his head carefully and looked at Victor's face, fearing that the man standing in front of him would think he was a

The "traitor", who was not reliable at all, hurriedly explained: "Of course, it's all about the director...about Bender's money-taking matters, other things that I "don't know", of course I don't

Said."

Victor smiled and nodded, "As a police officer, you should have cooperated with the prosecutors of the District Attorney's Office in their investigations and brought corrupt elements like Bender to justice."

"Of course, of course..." Stian said in a panic: "Of course I will tell the investigators everything I know about Bender's crimes. However, just after I have told everything I know,

The prosecutor who came to question me, I thought the matter was over, but another woman opened the door and came in. She introduced herself that her name was Calandra Conejeros, a prosecutor from the San Salvador District Prosecutor's Office.

official……"

Victor's interest arose when he heard about this strong-willed Calandra prosecutor whom he had met once before. He braced himself and waited for what Christian would say next.

"She asked me about Director Bender's daily life, including who he had met recently and small things like work arrangements. I don't know what she wanted to do by asking these unimportant things, but I still

I told her honestly until..."

The pupils of Steve's eyes began to dilate. He was panting, as if he was exhausted, and the wounds around his waist seemed to have been exposed for a long time. His face was ashen, and he murmured: "Until she asked me, and also

Let me carefully recall the days before the 27th

Here, did Director Band have any abnormal words and deeds? I know, I just know... They are doubting the cause of Director Band's death. They suspect that Director Band did not commit suicide... I don't know if this information is there

Yes, so I informed Mr. Banban and asked him to tell you..."

After saying that, Stian came back to his senses and looked at Victor with hope... After Bender's death, because he was a corrupt element to be arrested by the District Attorney's Office after confirming the evidence, as the director's secretary, Stian's life

It was very uncomfortable. After he came out of the District Prosecutor's Office and returned to the police station, he was told that he didn't have to go to work for a while. He should rest at home for a few days and not run around. Then the District Prosecutor's Office would come again if necessary.

Went to talk to him.

Fuck, this is treating him as a suspect. First, he is suspended. What will happen next? Will it be like Bender next, with a team of commandos ambushing outside his door, ready at any time?

Rush in and arrest him?

This is just like a prisoner preparing to be executed on the execution ground. When is the most frightening moment? It is not when the bullet is coming. The most frightening moment is when the gun is pressed against the back, but the executioner behind him does not know what to shoot...

…

So now, Stian can only hug Victor's thigh tightly. Director Bender is dead, and Stian has no effect on Victor. Therefore, Stian can only hope that he will not be regarded as a

A "dead child" was given up.

Victor raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the girl named Calandra had not given up as they agreed, and was still conducting investigations in private. However, her efforts were destined to be in vain. Victor believed that she would not be able to gain anything at all.

valuable information.

Victor looked at Steve, who looked at him with eyes full of anxiety and expectation, and spoke in a soothing and firm tone: "Stian, you are too anxious. You have nothing to be afraid of, and no one can prove it.

You are just Bender's secretary, aren't you? You have not participated in his illegal and criminal activities. You must remember that I stand with you, and you still have me as your friend, don't you?"

Stian held Victor's hand tightly, like a crutch held tightly in the hand of a disabled person. His expression was excited, his whole body was trembling and he sobbed: "Mr. Victor..." and then he was speechless.

"Okay, okay," Victor used his other hand to gently pat Christian's shrugging shoulders twice, watching the once young and promising police officer shed tears without any gesture in front of him.

Even more gentle: "You should have a good rest at home these days.

, just treat it as a holiday. You were too busy when you were working as a secretary and didn’t have time to go home. Your family members are in good health now. Don’t give up. I will say hello to my friends in the police station. When you come back,

There will be more important jobs waiting for you."

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Victor...I swear, I will serve you wholeheartedly from now on, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what..."

"Of course, haha..."

Victor's laughter echoed in the room, as if there was a kind of magic that dispelled the panic and fear in Steen's heart. Putting his right hand on Steen's shoulder, Victor whispered: "Director Bender has a copy of what I need.

The file, Stian, I think you can use it to repay our friendship."

"Don't worry, Mr. Victor, no matter where it is, I will definitely get him to you."
