Chapter 44 Conveying "Last Words"

At 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Wilshire Precinct, Jack, who was eating a hamburger while walking, found John, who was handing over banker Caleb Yost to the county police.

"I asked Hannah to go back and rest first. We just got off the phone with the hospital. The deputy sheriff named Graham is out of danger. Let's go visit him."

John's expression was a little strange, and after hesitating for a while he said: "I just asked, Graham has no wife and has always been single, so he asked me to convey the words to Beth before."

Europe and America. The guy's name is troublesome. There are all kinds of abbreviations and nicknames, and it is necessary to distinguish whether to call him by his first name or his surname based on the degree of intimacy. Jack sighed, grabbed a county police officer who came to escort the prisoner, and asked.

"I would like to ask if you, Vice Captain Graham, have any friends or colleagues named Elizabeth or Isabella."

"My name is Elizabeth. What can I do for you?" A person not far away was about 40 years old. A 20-year-old white policewoman walked over.

John looked surprised: "Do you know Graham?"

The policewoman nodded: "Yes, we have worked together for the past five years."

Jack After finishing the burger in his hand, he took a step forward and asked, "Has he ever called you Beth?"

The policewoman looked a little strange and did not answer directly: "Why are you asking this?"

John scratched his head and explained: "That's right, we are the two LAPD who found Graham at the scene of the accident."

"He grabbed my hand before getting into the ambulance and asked me to tell him something."

"What words?" Elizabeth looked around, her eyes were a little moist, and gradually became dull. Hong seemed a little at a loss and seemed to want to explain something: "I heard before that he might not survive, so..."

John waved his hand quickly: "No, my colleague just contacted the hospital. He is out of danger, he was before."

He hesitated, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Jack felt that he had rolled his eyes too much today, so he simply took over the conversation: "He said please tell Beth that he loves you."

Elizabeth seemed a little unbelievable. , covering his mouth with both hands, there was obviously joy in the corners of his eyes, but his voice was choked: "You lied."

"No!" John quickly testified for Jack: "He thought he was going to die at the time. This is His last words."

"So, is it you? Are you dating?" Jack, the melon-eater, asked hurriedly. This was probably the only time he got a kiss from the little loli. , the only little episode that could put him in a good mood, he had to gossip about it to the end.

Elizabeth burst into tears and nodded repeatedly: "He is my friend, a very good kind. There was a time when I thought he would date me, and I also hoped that he would ask, but he never did."

Da la la la, the case is solved, John and Jack high-five in celebration.

"I think he must have regretted it very much at that time. Now we plan to go to the central hospital to visit him. Will you come with us?"

John extended the invitation, and Elizabeth wiped the stain with her fingers. He stopped crying and nodded excitedly. "I'll drive." Jack was so excited that he crumpled up the hamburger wrapper in his hand, threw it back, and just threw it into the trash can in the corner.

"It's such a wonderful ending like a fairy tale." After listening to Jack's story about eating melon, Hannah blushed and kissed him on the sofa.

"Oh, right." Jack seemed to suddenly remember something and added: "John and his Dr. Grace seem to have the possibility of further development. I just saw them looking at each other affectionately in the hospital. The look is really giving me goosebumps.”

“What about us? Valentine’s Day will be in two months, but I will already be in Quantico. How about we advance the time? "

Hannah hugged Jack's neck, and her hot breath seemed to raise the surrounding temperature several degrees.

Jack lowered his head and planted a strawberry on her white and sexy collarbone. He was about to explore downwards, but she pushed him away with a coquettish smile.

"We agreed to wait until I come back from Quantico before taking any further steps. Are you going to break the agreement?"

Jack let out a frustrated growl and slapped the girl's buttocks as a way of teasing him. punishment.

He hates promises, whether it's with Hannah or Zoe, it's so annoying.

In the following days, good things happened one after another. First, the two time travel books gave Jack a series of entry-level life skills such as farming, carpentry, machining, photography, etc. , some skills actually resulted in fusion, and subdivided into some derivative skills.

For example, farming and gardening he originally owned were merged into planting, and the newly acquired EOD merged with the original chemistry and craftsmanship to derive blasting and bomb disposal skills.

The skill tree that was suddenly enriched was really dazzling. Jack was pleasantly surprised and deeply felt the lack of gold coins in the system. The 5 gold coins he had received as a regular reward, plus the 3 he had saved recently, totaled only 8, which was still not enough. Improve a master level skill.

He is still hesitating whether to upgrade his rifle shooting skills to proficient level first, or to upgrade his pistol shooting skills to master level after saving 10, and then have the magical skill of being invincible within ten steps.

Both skills have their own advantages. Considering that he will be in the LAPD for a long time in the future, and there will be many big scenes that require the use of rifles, Jack hesitated again and decided to save 10 system gold coins. , should also be retained and act according to circumstances.

In addition, he has also acquired some skills in other ways in the past few months, such as lock picking from Angela, and entry-level Spanish acquired through self-study in language books and conversation practice with colleagues. English and French.

However, time is limited after all, and these skill levels are only at the entry level. Jack has no intention of wasting system gold coins on these skills. Under normal circumstances, entry level is enough to cope with most situations.

With continuous learning and exercise, the basic attributes are still improving, and these skills will be gradually upgraded during use.

The next good thing is that Jack finally has his own house in this world. After a series of complicated procedures, the white two-story building at 7765 Genesee Street finally transferred to him. under the name.

The price he paid for this was a monthly loan bill of nearly 3,000 U.S. dollars, which needed to be repaid for 20 years. Although he thought that he did not want to be like the old Americans who received a pile of bills at the end of the month, he unknowingly , someone has gradually become the shape of this world.

Just like the Seris people who entered the 21st century in their previous life, they borrowed a loan from the bank that required a lifetime of hard work to repay to buy a house of their own.

After putting Daniel Lawson and his son on the plane to Salt Lake City, Jack spent three days of spare time to roughly clean up the inside and outside of the house, and moved his belongings in one weekend Go in.
