Chapter 72 A small gathering
“Let’s go to my house and get some delicious food. Let’s sit down and go over the case again. Maybe we can get something unexpected.”
Jack greeted John He took Jialis with him, drove Angela, went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of ingredients, and then returned to his house.
This white two-story building now has a brand new look. John basically helped with the kitchen before the vacation. During the next two weeks of vacation, Jack not only made a large bathtub in the bathroom on the first floor, but also cleaned it. Most of the old furniture was removed and the walls were repainted and repainted.
The whole house looks unchanged from the outside, but the inside has been completely renewed. Except for some missing electrical appliances, it is already very close to what Jack's dream home looks like.
As soon as Jack got home, he went into the kitchen to work and let them visit at will.
"What's wrong? Your expression is a little strange?"
Jack was busy in the kitchen and saw John who walked in with a strange expression on his face. He asked, hesitating to speak.
“You did this all by yourself?”
John’s index finger pointed upward and drew a circle, referring to the entire house.
"Yeah, I've basically been busy with this during the two-week holiday. I also re-adjusted the wiring arrangement in the next few rooms. Although there is no problem after trying it, I still need your help to check it."
Jack After tasting the taste, I added some water to the borscht and turned it to low heat. After this time, the entry-level life skills obtained from "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents" have basically been upgraded to proficiency.
But his little savings were basically used up. If it hadn't been for a bonus issued after the terrorist attack, he would have almost no money to pay the bills at the end of the month.
"If my original partner had half the work efficiency, maybe I would have made a fortune long ago."
What kind of capitalist speech was this? Jack could guess what John was really thinking.
"You also want to renovate your house, right? No problem, I can come and help as long as I have time."
I have the impression that this man has been tinkering with his house for more than a year, and something happened in the middle It has caused countless minor troubles such as circuit fires and shelves collapsing. It’s quite funny now that I think about it.
John looked grateful, rubbed his hands and came to the chopping board, picked up a tomato and asked: "What do you need me to do?"
"Just slice it, and this."
Jack was not polite and handed him a few cucumbers. There were a lot of people today and they were all very hungry. Although John was not a good cook, he was still a middle-aged uncle with rich life experience. He helped him. The level of playing skills has always been good.
Put a whole chicken wrapped in foil into the oven under the stove, set the time, and Jack will drain the oil from the fried peanuts and sprinkle with some sea salt while they are still hot.
Soon, a plate of peanuts, a plate of cucumbers, a bowl of tomatoes mixed with sugar were served on the table, as well as some cold dishes such as ready-to-eat sausages bought from the supermarket.
“There are still 40 minutes for the main meal. Let’s eat whatever you want first.” Jack was hesitating whether to open a bottle of Erguotou. He had been in a tight situation recently and really forgot to prepare some red wine for the house. This was the only thing he had on hand. Son, but thinking about having to talk about things later, it was a bit inappropriate to be drunk.
At this time the doorbell rang, and Wesley, who was called by Angela, appeared at the door carrying a bottle of dry red wine from Harlan Winery.
Angela took the initiative to open the door to greet her, and the two kissed me for a while before walking into the living room.
Unlike Westerners who are used to separating the living room and dining room, Jack took up part of the original dining room due to the renovation of the kitchen. He simply integrated the living room and dining room into one, and put a large square eight immortals table in the middle. , so big that it can even seat three people on one side.
Although this is a bit weird compared to the long dining table commonly used by Europeans and Americans, who would let this be his own home.
Everyone sat down one after another and followed Jack to eat a lot. John and Angela were already very proficient in using chopsticks. He only prepared Western tableware for Wesley and Dr. Jialisi.
Tim and Lucy were not here today. John saw that there was no hot pot on the table, and he was secretly relieved. The spicy meal in the past few weeks had tormented him terribly.
Jack looked at his expression and laughed secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that a Sichuan hot pot meal would be so effective and successfully sent two middle-aged people with "hemorrhoids" to the hospital. However, he still provided it very conscientiously. After-sales service.
Taking the opportunity of giving two bottles of Seris’ specialty Mayinglong ointment, I tried the master-level healing technique on the two of them, and then I was pleasantly surprised to find that the healing technique that was originally only effective immediately can actually take effect continuously. .
Originally, the proficient-level healing technique can be called a magical skill, but it is actually a bit inconvenient to use. For example, when rescuing the county police officer who lost his left foot, Jack actually put more energy into it in order not to get in trouble. Power is spent on controlling the range within which the healing spell takes effect.
Otherwise, if you use all your strength, the wound on the broken leg will be sealed instantly, and it will probably be worshiped as a miracle by John on the side.
In addition to the original instantaneous healing effect, the current healing technique can also take effect in a continuous manner, similar to a skill in the game that continuously restores blood to teammates. This can't help but make Jack think about it.
If he casts a healing spell on himself in advance in the hail of bullets in the future, will he have a chance to recover even if he is shot in the head? But he doesn't know if he will still be the same person after he grows his brain again.
Of course this is just his random imagination. With his current attribute increase rate, it is estimated that in a few years his mental strength and physical strength will exceed 30, unless he is directly hit by a powerful weapon.
Otherwise, even in a battlefield filled with bullets, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that you can completely avoid bullets, but it will definitely be okay to turn an instant kill into a serious injury, and a serious injury to a minor injury.
Due to the rush of time, today’s dinner is relatively simple. Not counting the few cold dishes that were put on the table at the beginning, a whole roast chicken made of Luo Dao Red Chicken, a portion of borscht, Served with the dumplings Jack had stored in the freezer for Christmas, it would be enough to fill the stomachs of five people.
There were no particularly devout Catholics present. Everyone was used to chatting while eating. The topic mainly revolved around today’s case. Wesley has become his own person since experiencing the terrorist attack and has learned how to When to shut up.
Jialisi can be considered one of our own, not to mention that she also treated the drug dealer who was almost killed today, so everyone did not deliberately avoid it in private.
"Angela, what do you think about Bruno?"
Jack started the topic first. This case is not big or complicated, but this is his first time. After officially participating in officially solving a case, if it is eventually handed over, it will be a bit difficult to calm down, so the degree of concern is no less than Angela.
