Chapter 33 Happy Gathering
Maureen’s eyes became a little blurred, she pursed her red lips and gave a wet kiss: “No wonder Zoe is so crazy about you that she almost breaks the promise she made to her family. You are just like that "Helen of Troy."
Jack couldn't laugh or cry, wondering what all this was, but he had a doubt in his mind. Zoe's accidental death in the original plot was really just because the actor quit and the screenwriter wrote it randomly. An accident? Or it may be reinterpreted by this world, and there are other reasons.
I secretly reminded myself that I should pay more attention to the situation in the police station during this period. In addition to preventing Zoe's accident, I also wanted to prevent unnecessary complications.
The next day, Jack and Hannah made an appointment for everyone to have dinner together. They had agreed to treat John and Lucy, who were still rookies, to a big meal. By the way, they also called Tim and Angela.
The case of serial murderer Angus Lucius was handled in a low-key manner, and a hush order was issued within the police department. At the same time, the Los Angeles City Hall was worried about causing public panic and reached a deal with several mainstream media, and all relevant reports were suppressed. Down.
Because the case was solved too quickly and there were not many people with knowledge of the case, even if it was posted online, just a few words would not make any waves.
The only regret is that this time the District Attorney's Office was under scrutiny from above and worked too quickly. The shooters, Tim and Jack, only received three days of administrative leave.
Jack spent a lot of money this time. He did not let Hannah spend any money. The ingredients alone cost him nearly 400 dollars. He went to Huashang Supermarket to purchase some good quality ingredients, in addition to the rock sugar elbows that everyone strongly requested. , and also made a bunch of hard dishes such as squirrel fish and salt-baked chicken.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, everyone arrived, and Jack finally finished working in the kitchen. He turned on the system with satisfaction. As expected, a notification appeared on it: Congratulations to the host for improving his cooking skills (skilled) to cooking skills (proficient) through his own learning. ).
Now he finally has a second proficiency-level skill besides pistol shooting. Although cooking is not directly helpful to his police career, it is really nice to be able to sit down and enjoy delicious food with his friends after finishing a case. It is the best way to relieve your mood and get rid of negative emotions.
Today Tim brought a bottle of his favorite Gordon's gin for everyone to taste. Gin, also known as gin, is one of the favorite hard liquors in the United States.
Everyone chatted while eating, and the topic turned around several times, and finally returned to the serial murder case.
Hannah curled her lips: "Do you know what happened after you guys left last night?"
"The two detectives from the crime team actually found Zoe and complained about us, saying We should have informed the suspects before entering their home to search.”
Angela looked sarcastic: "Superintendent Anderson doesn't know how to coax a baby, and this case has not been officially transferred to the Crime Squad. They have no reason to complain to us. Only losers will complain when they don't get the credit."
Hannah nodded: "Zoe invited them out of the office directly, and said that if they had taken the report from Kara's family seriously, the two girls would not have suffered so much torture."
"The bald detective named Motta's face was so angry that he was deformed."
"So, is this the end of the matter?" Jack meant something, he said it to Tim, yesterday During the pursuit, both of their law enforcement recorders fell off for some reason. Only the two of them know what happened in the end.
"Since the higher-ups have spoken, of course it ends like this. The murderer is dead anyway, no one will care about the details, right?"
Tim looked calm.
"Doctor Jialisi said that the girl named Emma will need at least 3 months to fully recover. It would be too easy for him to let the beast die like this."
Hannah Her expression was still a little aggrieved, and this case touched a hidden pain in her heart.
Jack smiled, clinked glasses with Tim, and drank the rest of the wine: "Okay Hannah, we are just police, not God, we did what we could, say something Have fun, it's gossip time."
John smiled mysteriously and started to reveal: "When I was in Superintendent Gray's office, someone happened to come in and said that he was considering applying for the superintendent's degree." Angela, who was overjoyed, froze when she heard this. It took a long time to swallow the food in her mouth with difficulty, and she looked at Tim in disbelief. He was the only one who met the qualifications among the people present.
"No way, bastard Tim, you were still laughing at us when Bishop and I were competing for the position of police detective."
She imitated Tim's usual frowning expression. He looked like: "I don't understand why you two are so cruel and want to leave the patrol team. Being a patrol officer is the fun."
After saying that, he slapped Tim on the shoulder, "Huh? You have to give up now Are you having fun?”
Tim’s face didn’t even turn red: “I just don’t want to wait until you officially become a police detective and be bossed around by you every day. I entered the police force two years earlier than you. Police Station.”
Angela still pointed her finger at him angrily, and said in a fierce tone: "You'd better pray that you can pass the police superintendent exam in one go, otherwise when I become a police detective first, I will arrest you as soon as there is a case."< br>
Tim launched a counterattack: "Angela, why don't you first tell me what happened between you and that rich young man lawyer?"
Everyone looked at this carefree man in unison. The girls, including Lucy, who was addicted to the food because she tasted Jack's cooking for the first time, all raised their heads and cast bright eyes.
Jack found that Angela turned red in a rare way and stuttered when speaking.
“We only dated a few times, can’t I have a private life?”
Lucy's eyes widened with a look of disbelief: "You are the lawyer who helped him get his suitcase back from the thief, and in turn wanted to complain about your violent law enforcement?"
Jack raised the question He testified with his hand: "I was at the scene that time, and the two of them had a very heated argument. Angela even threatened to slap the guy in the face."
"Wow!" the crowd said one after another. The expression of watching a good show.
“Wesley later apologized to me. At that time, one of my four brothers was getting married. If I couldn’t find a chaperone to accompany me to the wedding right away, my mother would spend the whole night trying to match me up with him. Best man."
"So?" everyone said in unison.
"The best man smells like cat litter, and I don't think he keeps cats at all."
Angela said with a sweet smile: "Besides, Wesley is indeed very handsome. When he apologized, He's also very gentlemanly."
Hannah suddenly showed a look of bewilderment, slapped her forehead, and her voice rose 8 degrees with excitement.
“So today you suddenly asked me what Jack and I should pay attention to when we are in the same house.”
“Oh my God, you have already started to plan to live together, and you actually plan to hide it from me. Aren’t we best friends anymore? ”
