America: John Wick 1924

Chapter 18 The Human Body, Isn't it amazing?
Her bangs were carefully trimmed, and the hair at the back of her head—barely long enough to reach her shoulders—was tied into a neat, small short ponytail, making her look exceptionally clever and dashing.

When she shakes her head, the single tuft of hair on the top of her head and the short ponytail at the back of her head sway and swing, making her particularly eye-catching.

Whether she had a professional hairdresser curl her hair or it was just her natural hair, the curl at the ends was just right, not messy at all, and looked very beautiful.

Red is a rather rare hair color.

The so-called "red hair" commonly seen in the world is actually flaxen, ginger yellow, or reddish brown.

In contrast, the policewoman in front of me had wine-red hair that shone brightly under the electric light.

Such hair color is truly rare.

I only caught a fleeting glimpse of it from the train carriage and didn't have time to look at it closely.

Upon closer inspection, Li Yu was astonished to find that the other person's appearance was exceptionally striking.

Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, her features were delicate, and her emerald green eyes were reminiscent of the finest jade. Her face was a bit round, a textbook example of a baby face.

Since she is qualified to serve as a police officer, she is undoubtedly an adult.

From her appearance, she looks no different from a 15 or 6-year-old high school student.

It's worth mentioning that she not only has a baby-like appearance, but also a baby-like height.

To put it bluntly, her appearance is completely unrelated to the image of a "heroic policewoman".

根据李昱的目测，她的身高在1米5以上，1米6不满，大致在1米55左右徘徊。

By the average height of Europeans and Americans, this height is indeed too petite, and even by the standards of Japanese people, it is rather short.

However... one part of her body is at a level far above average.

Simply put, like Jane, she also achieved great things from small beginnings.

Li Yu had no idea about Jane's exact size, because she always wore loose-fitting nun's clothes, giving her a "vague" appearance.

On the other hand, Una's well-fitting police uniform and tightly cinched belt greatly accentuated her presence.

Logically speaking, someone with such a petite figure and thin arms and legs shouldn't have such a body shape.

Li Yu never expected that he would encounter two extraordinary women who defied all common sense within just a few days—Jane was the first, and Una was the second.

The human body is amazing, right?
Overall, there was nothing wrong with the police uniform she was wearing; it matched her height, shoulder width, and arm length perfectly.

However, only that part of the fabric was stretched taut due to its extraordinary development.

Strangely, despite her impressive figure, which seems disproportionate to her size, she doesn't appear awkward at all; instead, she looks perfectly harmonious with just the right proportions.

Li Yu kept thinking:
First of all, Li Yu does not consider himself a fan of anime/manga.

Even though he had no connection with anime and manga, he had heard of the renowned name of "Himura Dairy," and was very familiar with their immortal masterpiece, "Tawawa on Monday," which he had critically studied.

The female characters in Kiseki Himura's works all have ridiculously large figures, but they don't make people feel awkward or disgusted.

Needless to say, Azur Lane, as a mobile game, has an incredibly strong backing.

Una's emotionless voice pulled Li Yu back to reality.

"Let's get started without delay."

As she spoke, she opened the thick book in front of her and unscrewed the fountain pen.

"Next, I'm going to ask you some questions. Just answer what I ask, and be sure to use appropriate honorifics when you reply."

"Your Excellency, esteemed police officer?"

"It seems you have a natural sense of humor, but I don't appreciate that trait. Just call me 'Officer Campbell.'" Una cleared her throat, assumed a proper writing posture, and then posed her first question:
"What's your name?"

"Li Yu".

"How old?"

"20 is old."

"from where?"

"Raoping, Chaozhou, China"

Li Yu's ancestral home is Chaozhou, but he was born and raised in Guangzhou.

In contrast, the "original owner" was a very "orthodox" Cantonese person who could only speak Cantonese and did not understand Mandarin at all—in China at that time, Mandarin had not yet been widely promoted—and he learned English diligently after he smuggled himself to the United States.

Li Yu, however, was different.

Although he was born and raised in Guangzhou, his parents were both from Chaoshan in eastern Guangdong, so he grew up in a trilingual environment of Mandarin, Cantonese and Chaoshan dialect.

When attending classes at school, communicate with teachers and classmates in Mandarin.

Once home, he would communicate with his parents in Cantonese and Teochew, depending on his mood.

Furthermore, Chaoshan dialect and Minnan dialect share the same origin, and many words are pronounced the same.

Anyone who can speak Chaoshan dialect can definitely understand Minnan dialect—although there may still be some differences, it will not affect communication—this is certain, there will be no exceptions.

In other words, Li Yu also understands Hokkien and can even speak classic Hokkien phrases such as "super white", "sailinmu", and "ganlinniang".

In this era, overseas Chinese basically fell into three categories: Cantonese, Teochew, and Fujianese.

In other words, Li Yu, who is fluent in four and a half languages—Mandarin, Cantonese, Teochew, English, and half of Hokkien—is simply the "chosen one" of this era! No matter which Chinatown he goes to, he will not encounter any language barriers!

Next, Una asked many more questions.

These questions are not very interesting; they are all about probing Li Yu's background.

Why did you come to San Francisco? Do you have a stable place to live? Do you have a job? ...and so on, the list goes on.

It is worth mentioning that Una's attitude was very calm, neither arrogant nor conceited. She did not treat Li Yu differently because he was Chinese; she simply enforced the law impartially.

In the United States of this era, encountering corrupt cops is commonplace, and police officers like Una who act according to the law are extremely rare.

Since the other party treated him with courtesy, Li Yu was happy to reciprocate with equal respect.

Therefore, he did his best to cooperate with her, not to cause her any trouble, and to answer all her questions, while vaguely addressing things he couldn't explain in detail.

Overall, the interrogation went relatively smoothly, with only one shortcoming: Una's accent was so heavy that it significantly affected the interrogation process.

In his previous life, Li Yu watched more than three thousand movies. Through this exposure, he developed a keen ear and was able to distinguish English with various accents.

He can recognize highly distinctive accents such as Russian, London, and Southern American accents instantly.

Therefore, as soon as Una opened her mouth, he immediately felt the strong and unique Scottish atmosphere.
