Chapter 251: FBI Invitation

Having successfully saved another piece of scum, the Tinkerer’s heart had no ripples. Anyway, the harm this guy does in the future will all be to the great Americans, what does it have to do with him?

It’s impossible to expect that everyone who comes to him is a poor good person. And he just happens to be able to play a black-market doctor who doesn't seek return and is willing to provide free clinics for the poor.

In fact, truly good people will not covet this kind of free resource. They also know how to effectively use the resources at hand to avoid falling into a situation where they must rely on others for alms; they can't make a big fortune, but they won't starve to death either.

According to the Tinkerer’s business experience over the past half year, those who come to him are either bad or stupid. Think about how the saying "pitiful people must have hateful aspects" came about.

Drinking until liver cancer, smoking until lung cancer, chewing betel nut until oral cancer, promiscuity leading to AIDS—are these things that good people would do? These people might be considered vulnerable, but they are not necessarily good people.

Otherwise, they are parents who would rather spend money to buy drugs and then hold their sick children to beg for free medical care; or poor people who think their condition is not that serious and have to drag it until they are terminally ill before begging the doctor for a miraculous cure.

If one had to choose whether to save or not based on whether people are good or bad, then the Tinkerer would have no chance to exercise his medical skills and increase clinical experience.

He remembers very clearly that his original intention was not to do good deeds, but just to find some free white mice. Compared with those scientists who conduct illegal human experiments, at least he takes saving people as a secondary goal, not for experiments or killing.

Leaving Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Tinkerer intended to find a dark alley without surveillance to use his super speed to go home.

In the United States these days, although it is not like later when there are surveillance cameras in every street and alley monitoring every move of the common people.

But Cedars-Sinai, as a top medical center, still pays great attention to the safety of the surrounding area. So there are quite a few places with surveillance cameras, and there are almost no omissions.

He either has to walk further or walk into the only fire escape alley near the medical center between two apartment buildings.

Although his abilities have been leaked to almost everyone in front of certain people, they have not yet been made public. So in daily life, he uses them when he can, and doesn't expose them when he can. This is the general principle.

It’s just that this fire escape alley, which no one usually uses, had a car waiting in it today. And the Tinkerer also noticed that there were three people sitting in the car.

Seeing something and walking back, such a performance is too conspicuous. In order not to show his abnormal behavior, the Tinkerer decided to pass through this fire escape alley and then go to other locations without surveillance and human traces to use his super speed to leave.

No matter what, walking on the streets of Los Angeles wearing this Tinkerer skin feels a bit strange.

It’s just that halfway through the walk, the Tinkerer felt a trace of something wrong. The three people in the car seemed a bit excited. Should he turn back? Or... watch the fun?

When he passed that car, it was too late to run. The three people in the car got out at the same time, surrounding the Tinkerer’s path from front and back.

Running for real would be a bit of a guilty conscience. It’s better to see what the other party wants to do. The Tinkerer thought to himself.

The person opposite was not a riddle-maker; the one in the lead directly took out his ID and said: "FBI, I am Senior Special Agent James, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation."

Although the tone was quite soft, besides that FBI agent, the other two already had guns in their hands, just not pointing at anyone.

The Tinkerer, carrying a handbag, asked: "Do you have a warrant?"

When leaving the medical center, in order to destroy the evidence, the baseball bat had already been pressed into an aluminum cake and thrown into the handbag. It seems he was still moving too fast. What a pity.

Agent James smiled and said: "I don't have a warrant, which is why I said let you cooperate with the investigation."

"What if I don't cooperate?" The Tinkerer asked.

"There is always a way to make you agree, isn't there."

People who hold public power like this want to find trouble for him, and they can always find a way. Unless he has a big lawyer as a backer, he can retort until the other party can't speak.

This is not useful just because the Tinkerer himself read a few law books and memorized the statutes. The most important thing is that lawyer’s license.

Without that thing, even if he can demand self-defense in court to protect himself, he still has to cooperate with the police or FBI and other law enforcement units to go through the process. If he doesn't cooperate, then the criminal fact is established, and in serious cases, he will be emptied of his magazine on the spot.

Even if the self-defense is successful in the end and he is judged not guilty. But wanting to complain about the police or other law enforcement units, he still needs lawyer qualifications as a backer for these people to really be afraid.

Otherwise, the complaints of ordinary people, no matter how correct the cited laws are, how sufficient the complaint content is, and how complete the evidence is, the matter will still be shelved.

So it’s really not that after memorizing law books, one thinks they have a golden bell and iron cloth shirt. That lawyer qualification license is the capital to deter law enforcement units.

The Tinkerer, who had no license to protect himself, could only ask helplessly: "Then can I know what it is for?"

'Was the surgery just now reported by someone?' The Tinkerer thought so.

But Cedars-Sinai Medical Center couldn't do this kind of thing. Because if they reported his mistake, they would also have joint liability for lending the operating room. This is no different from smashing their own signboard.

Fortunately, Agent James answered quickly, saying: "It is to ask you to cooperate with the investigation regarding the criminal group leader, Andrew Saxon."

The Tinkerer realized in an instant that the other party came for the remaining "medical fee" of one million dollars.

Because to convict Andrew Saxon, the Tinkerer couldn't provide any testimony of the other party’s crimes; catching him is useless.

So, they can only find someone to get him out. Or hand over the illegal income, admit to practicing medicine illegally, and follow the rules to solve this matter?

While evaluating the consequences of several approaches in his heart, the Tinkerer sighed and asked: "I see, I shouldn't need to be handcuffed, right?"

If he wants to live in human society, it is inevitable to follow the rules. Actually, running for real is not impossible, at most just don't use this "Tinkerer" vest anymore.

But the problem is that the identity of "Tinkerer" and "Henry Brown" is not cut off well, and many people know the relationship between these two identities.

Although he is wearing a different face, black and white hair, and obvious scars. However, if someone with a heart really wants to pursue it, they can still find it on "Henry Brown."

This reminded him again of the warning Old Tom gave when he was handling documents in Alaska. If you want to do something bad, don't do it under the name of "Henry Brown." If you mess up this name, it will be very troublesome later.

Sure enough, people teach people, and things teach people once. This lesson in front of him is really impressive.

Agent James didn't take out handcuffs, just opened the back door of the car and made a "please" gesture. At the same time, he said: "This is not a place to talk; let’s find another suitable location."

Speaking of which, this kind of thing is not the first time for him; the American FBI likes to do this? They move to use the name of assisting in the investigation to take people away? If they don't follow, they use various verbal threats?

He should go check if this kind of practice is legal and compliant, or if it is just used to scare some people with ghosts in their hearts. Should he just go hard against them? Is this the correct action option?
