Chapter 171 Angry Rosko
Fifteen minutes later, four people and two cars arrived at a two-story building at the foot of a hill. This place is indeed remote enough, and there is not even a decent cement road or asphalt road. No, a dirt road strewn with pebbles is the only way leading here.
After parking the car, Rosko led everyone around the flower bed and set foot on the path leading to the main entrance, talking as he walked.
"I'm going to get something to eat. Although I don't feel like I have much appetite, you two should be hungry."
Of course she wasn't referring to Finlay, who had 'seen the world' , but Reacher and Jack, the two of them behaved at the murder scene just like they were visiting someone else's house normally.
Jack suddenly stopped, nodded and said, "Rosko, I think your home is not too remote, at least not 'quiet' enough."
The other three were shocked when they heard this and looked at Facing the house facing everyone, the wooden door there was ajar, and there were signs of violent prying on the door lock. However, the distance was relatively far. Except for Jack, who sensed Superman, no one noticed this abnormality for a while.
Jack squatted down and pulled out a Glock from his calf holster and threw it to Reacher. He caught it and took out the FK7.5 himself. Roscoe and Finlay He also subconsciously took out his own gun.
While taking out the gun, Roscoe turned to look at Finley, and seeing that he was not surprised at all that Jack was carrying a gun, she remained silent and followed him into the house.
“Nobody!”
"Safe!"
A few people entered the small building and searched. There was no one in the house, and there was no sign of being disturbed. Well, except for the underwear closet in Rosko's bedroom, several pieces of underwear were messily dropped. fell to the ground.
"Are you a simple nymphomaniac, or do you have a crazy admirer, Roscoe?" Finlay breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the gun back into the holster.
"I don't know, how could anyone dare to follow me in this town?" Rosko's face was gloomy and scary.
"No, they are the same people as the Morrison family." Reacher's eyes turned to the carpet at the door, which had obvious mud marks.
Jack nodded, "They stepped directly over the flower bed and brought in the soil, but the footprints are the same as those of the Morrison family. There are no lines. They are the same rubber shoe covers. I bet if you do micro-mark identification, they can be found inside." Found the Morrisons' blood."
"They are planning to kill me too?" Rosko turned to look at Jack.
"I am more inclined to think that some of them plan to come to you to 'relax' afterward. Judging from the footprints, only one person entered the bedroom at the end, while the others stayed in the living room. Of course, they will kill you afterwards. The possibility is not small.”
Jack held his chin and analyzed carefully, all he needed to do was hold a pipe in his mouth to COS Sherlock Holmes.
Rosko looked disgusted by the plot he had deduced, and turned around to close the door, but the three letters carved on the back of the door were revealed - 'SEEYOUSOON'
"It seems they are planning to come back."
As she spoke, she paced back and forth in the living room irritably. Reacher stood aside and tried to comfort her, "I know you are scared."
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
“Afraid?”
The pretty female police officer walked up to him, raised her head and looked at him, slurping like an irritated kitten at a big golden retriever that was two or three times her size. tooth.
"Look at how I look scared. I am angry. Look at my eyes. Is there any fear in them? You are such a domineering big man."
"Both the FBI and CIA have recruited me. , my IQ score is 99%, and my psychological evaluation is only 80%. Do you know why? This is the reason!"
"They broke into my room and did some dirty things, thinking that this would make me happy. Am I afraid? This is my home, which I built with my own money! In this small town built by my family, they think I dare not touch them?" Lei Che stood motionless. A little surprised by the fire-breathing look of Pepper, Finlay's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that this little policewoman under him, who was usually silent, had such a hot temper.
"Look at it, if it weren't for you, a guy who appeared out of nowhere and took my position, I should be the only police detective in this town!"
Rosko's not-so-full chest rose and fell violently due to emotion, and no one in the room dared to speak for a moment.
Bang, Jack, who had opened the refrigerator in search of ingredients at some point, closed the refrigerator door, breaking the seemingly frozen atmosphere in the room.
"Rosko, are you trying to lose weight? Why is there not even a box of bacon in the refrigerator?"
Seeing three people looking at him at the same time, this guy was holding a box of eggs in his hand, facing Lu was surprised, "Didn't you just say that you should go into the house and get some food? I just ate a sandwich in the morning and I was starving to death."
——
Dividing Line -——
"You mean, Morrison is complicit in the people who control Paul Heborg?"
Half an hour later, four people were standing in the backyard of Rosko's house. Sitting around a small table in the courtyard, Finlay's eyes widened again.
"Otherwise, is this a huge coincidence? The situation at the death scene of Director Morrison and his wife is consistent with what Paul Heborg described to us in prison. He said that if he messed with Trouble, the person who controls him will torture him in this way."
Retcher's analysis is reasonable.
"Then why were you two unwilling to tell me anything before? Are you willing to tell me now?" Finlay's heart was a little hurt.
Jack smiled, "Because you are still alive now."
Finlay: "."
Reacher continued, "I guess the purpose of the person behind the scenes is to let Morrison framed me for the murder, but because Roscoe had the coach tape, I was acquitted, so they thought Morrison screwed up."
< br>"Although you acted like you wanted to force me to help you solve the case, you also forcibly sent me to prison, so I trusted Rosko before, but I didn't trust you."
"And you're hiding something. A black policeman with a 20-year pension suddenly left Boston to work in a southern town that is full of racial discrimination? It's very suspicious."
Finlay was silent for a long time and smiled bitterly, "When Sharon was sick, I was taking care of her while still busy at work. I promised her that she would get better, but in the end she still couldn't hold on. I'll do it. It's not for any other reason, it's just to punish myself."
Everyone was silent, and it took a long time for Reacher to speak, "I'm sorry, I thought"
Finley waved his hand and forgave him. , "At least now we know who we can trust, which is a good thing."
Before he finished speaking, his cell phone rang, then Roscoe's, and then Jack's. .
Jack raised a finger, signaling for everyone to answer the phone first.
The three of them were on the phone for a short period of time and quickly hung up.
"Mayor Tiller just appointed himself as the acting chief of the police department."
"Tiller urgently convened the town council, an hour later, at the church." Roscoe and Finlay received the message The content of the call is the same.
The call Jack received was from Hannah, informing him that someone was awake.
