Charlie saw Uncle Hogan giving him a wink, although he did not know exactly what the situation was, but from his understanding
of his meaning, he knew that the woman who was robbed of the phone must have been a fraud. However, Charlie did not
immediately leave but strutted behind the woman into Uncle Hogan’s roast goose store.
After entering, Charlie deliberately found a corner with his back to the door and sat down, then greeted Uncle Hogan and said,
“Please, I would like to have roast goose rice.”
Hogan originally did not want Charlie to come in now, but he saw that he sat in a relatively hidden position and said “Okay, you
wait a moment, I have to help the girl to call the police.”
Hogan took out his cell phone and entered the three numbers 911, then Hogan looked at the girl and asked, “Girl, are you going
to tell the police by yourself, or should I do it for you?”
The girl looked at Hogan gratefully and said, “Just lend me your phone, I’ll tell the police myself.”
“Okay.” He directly handed her his cell phone and after the other party took it, she dialed the 911 emergency number.
On the phone, the girl told the operator about her phone being robbed, then told the address and when the operator finished
registering she hung up and handed the phone back to Hogan and said “Thank you, sir, I’ve already reported it to the police and
the police will be here in a minute.”
“You’re welcome.” Hogan smiled faintly, put away the phone and said, “Want to eat something? This meal is on me.”
The girl said, “No, no, I just had dinner, Thank you, Sir.”
“You’re welcome.” Hogan nodded and said to the man, “Pour a glass of water for this lady.”
Without saying a word, the man immediately brought over a glass of lemon water and handed it to the girl.
The girl said gratefully, “Sir, Thank you so much.”
Hogan smiled slightly and said, “It doesn’t matter, we should help each other.
Sit by yourself for a while, I’ll go prepare the meal for the guests.”
The girl said, “You go about your business, don’t mind me!”
After less than ten minutes, a police car stopped at the entrance and two police officers stepped out and entered the store,
asking, “Who just called 911?”
The girl hurriedly raised her hand and said, “It’s me.”
One of the police officers looked at the girl and asked, “The main desk told us that your cell phone was robbed, what happened?”
The girl then said, “About 10 minutes ago, I was talking to a friend in front of this restaurant and suddenly a man came and
snatched my phone away.”
The police officer nodded and asked, “Was there only one person who robbed your phone?”
The girl said, “There was only one person who grabbed my phone, but he quickly got into a car and left.”
The police officer asked, “Did you get a good look at the person who grabbed your phone? Probably what race, how tall? Is his
weight on the fat side or thin side?”
The girl thought about it and said, “He was too fast, I did not react at once, so I did not see his face, but it is certain that the man
was Asian, medium height, thin, very quick movements.”
The police said helplessly “Medium height, thin Asian person.
In Chinatown, if there are no detailed physical characteristics, catching him is more than difficult.”
Saying that, the police explained, “In fact, you know, street robbery of cell phones, laptops, and ladies backpacks, on the street,
at least thousands of such things happen every day, the vast majority of people are very difficult to catch.”
Another police officer looked around the store at this time and pointed to one of the surveillance probes facing the door and said,
“Since it happened right in front of the store, this surveillance probe must be able to capture it, right? If we can get the suspect’s
image data, the arrest will be relatively easy.”
