Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!-Chapter 494 - 276: Locking Down the Culprit_3

Ultimately, it was Edna, the female clerk, who made a discovery through the resumes stored by the employment agencies that Green had gathered: "Hey, guys, look at the photos on these resumes. They look so much like the victim sketches that Brian drew!"

These individuals had all registered their personal information with these agencies, leaving behind resumes and photographs. Among them were native residents and illegal immigrant workers.

She placed three photographs on the conference table.

Everyone took a look, and indeed it was true.

The people in the photos appeared to be in their thirties or forties, two women and one man.

These resumes had been considerately labeled with their sources by Green.

Looking at the labels, it turned out that all three individuals had submitted their resumes to the same agency.

Clerk Edna was very happy, "Does this mean that this agency is highly suspect?"

Green and old Hardenn shook their heads at the same time.

Old Hardenn explained to the young clerk with a policing background:

"Agencies are just a channel for people to find work. They often leave their resumes with all the agencies, so there’s a high degree of overlap.

This group spends most of their time at labor markets, especially the undocumented workers. Many experienced bosses will drive directly there to find cheap labor without caring about the workers’ status.

The workers prefer this too because it saves them the agency fees, though there is the risk of being cheated by the employers."

Green nodded:

"Some employers are very bad, hiring undocumented workers without work permits, then reporting them to Immigration afterwards.

That way, they avoid paying wages and, since they don’t run a formal business, they don’t face fines for employing undocumented workers. To avoid retaliation, they specifically choose Chinese undocumented workers who are less likely to cause trouble.

For this very reason, many Chinese undocumented workers would rather be exploited by agencies than fall into these traps.

After all, they risk their lives coming here and would rather suffer some losses than be sent back."

Brian looked at Green in surprise, "How do you know all this?"

Green chuckled, "I heard it from a Chinese person who was registering at the community office while I was applying for documents today. He had been through this himself. Still, I do admire these people. In my opinion, they’re generally very smart, do well for themselves, are hard-working, and value education. If we Black people could learn from them, our social status would surely improve a lot."

Old Hardenn nearby heard this and smiled disdainfully.

Much better?

Green was still too young.

The downfall of the Black Panther Party in Orlan spoke volumes.

And there were certain specific policies...

Green looked at old Hardenn in confusion, "Buddy, what’s wrong, did I say something incorrect?"

Old Hardenn sighed, "Have you noticed that many people in our Black community grow up with just their mothers, without a complete family?"

Green was unconvinced, "That’s why I think we need to change our mentality. Plus, we are very united. Many brothers I know receive care from their father’s side of the family, or their father is around, just not living together."

Seeing this, old Hardenn lost interest in continuing the conversation, "Let’s get back to searching for photos."

...

Brian also stopped snacking.

Actually, he understood what old Hardenn meant.

An authoritative institution had investigated and found that over seventy percent of Black people in the United States were ’fatherless’, growing up in single-parent homes.

They believed this was a major reason for the high crime rates among the Black community.

This situation, in addition to being related to the living habits inherited from African Blacks, was also connected to various single-parent benefits vigorously promoted by the Federation afterwards: unemployed single mothers could enjoy different social benefits and receive subsidies.

In summary: It’s hard to raise a child with a father, but without one, as long as you don’t worry about the child’s future, you can raise a bunch of them.

It led to the situation where, for the sake of these benefits, many Black families, even if they got along, would face financial pressures and, to evade checks, the father would simply leave, only occasionally returning.

Others weren’t fools; seeing this, they followed suit.

It didn’t take long.

In just over twenty years, these people had ruined themselves, also losing the healthy pattern of a complete family, unable to accumulate collective wealth generation by generation to improve their clan’s status.

But these were individual choices.

Brian felt no sympathy.

...

After reviewing by several people,

they found the remaining victims’ information from the resumes provided by all the agencies.

This matched Brian’s deductions.

These victims were all from the same group.

After investigating the agencies, they discovered something even more astonishing.

Based on the information of the current homeowners where these victims were found, Brian and his team realized that the person had once worked at one of the agencies.

And this agency had also served these victims...

TThere was no need for further investigation on the case.

Brian said to Green, "Contact Ivan and the others, tell them to bring in the current homeowner. Oh, and old Hardenn, prepare some props. If they don’t cooperate, teach them to be honest!"

"No problem!"

Both got busy.

"What about me?"

The female clerk felt it was somewhat redundant for her to stay overtime.

Brian shrugged, "Order us some late-night snacks, I’m buying."

...

At a little past nine in the evening,

a middle-aged man with a kind-looking face was forcibly brought to the office building by Ivan and his team.

Seeing his pitiful and confused expression,

Brian clenched his fists.

He was extremely curious about why the man would kill a group of worthless people from the lower class!
