Chapter 173 Reasoning Session

Rachel picked up the small key and looked at it carefully, "When your adoptive father passed away, did he have any filing cabinets or locked boxes at home?"

Ross Kemian Lu thought, "No, I sorted out all his belongings and found nothing unusual."

"Then is there any other place where he can put some important things?" Finlay asked.

"Gray is either staying at the police station or in this house. No, I have never mentioned my adoptive father's suicide to you. How did you know about it? Are you investigating me?" Roscoe With suspicion in his eyes, he looked at Jack.

"Eh?" Question marks also popped up on Jack's head. He had indeed asked Justin to help look up information about his adoptive father Gray, but Justin hadn't provided it to him yet. Where did the impression of committing suicide come from?

"The barber named Mr. Mosley, I remember the barber shop you introduced us to." He patted his forehead.

"At that time, Reacher was provoked by Kleiner. I chatted with Mr. Mosley. He said that your adoptive father, Gray Conklin, was a good man. He was surprised that your adoptive father would commit suicide."

Jack also felt that there was no need to hide it, "I learned from him that Gray was the former chief of the Margrave Police Department, so I paid attention to it and was asking my friends to help re-investigate the cause of his death."

Rosko narrowed her eyes dangerously, "You mean, you suspect that the cause of my adoptive father's death was not suicide?"

"What do you think? You are the person closest to him."

Jack threw the question back, "As Reacher said, if this key is indeed the most important thing to him, a suicide Why did the author give this box to you a year before his death? In my opinion, this is more like a preventive measure."

"He meant that he might be because of My God, he did this to protect me. He loves me very much and sends me a bouquet of my favorite daisies every year on my birthday.”

Rosko inserted her fingers into her hair and showed her face. The color of pain.

Hearing Jack mention the black barber, Reacher looked thoughtful and seemed to have caught some inspiration in his mind.

"Rosko, those photos that were displayed in the room were of you and Gray, right?"

Rosko didn't speak, but just nodded his lowered head.

"You did say before that your adoptive father would go to Mosley's barber shop once a week before he was alive, but in the photo, he had almost no hair on his head."

Rosko raised her head and looked at him blankly, with self-blame, anger and sadness intertwined with various complex emotions. At this time, she had lost the ability to think normally.

"Gray may have hidden things that need to be opened with this key, and Mosley must also know something." Reacher affirmed.

"It's not urgent. Our barber is still safe and sound so far, which means he has not been exposed. We are definitely being targeted now. Before we get rid of the possible tail, if we come to look for him without permission, we will only bring trouble." He brings danger."

Jack waved his hand to show that he was not in a hurry, and his reasoning was not over yet.

"Rosko, please keep this key first, we need to wait for the right time."

Jack turned to remind Reacher, "Speaking of little Kleiner's provocation. , do you still remember the scene? "

Reacher nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Jack looked at Finlay again, "Do you remember what Reacher said when you and he discussed the crime scene?"

Finlay nodded doubtfully, not knowing what he wanted to express, "He Said that there were at least three people at the scene, a calm gunman, a madman who insulted the corpse, and a somewhat empathetic person. "You mean little Kleiner and his crazy cousin Dawson?" Reacher's eyes lit up. .

Jack asked Rosko again, "Little Kleiner is your suitor, right? Do you know his shooting skills?"

Rosko roughly I understand, "He has good marksmanship and once showed off to me his past hunting experiences in Africa."

Jack clapped his hands and pointed in the direction of the front door, "So, is there a possibility that we already know the person who attacked the deceased and Reacher's brother under the overpass, the person who caused the murder at Director Morrison's house, and even this morning The people who broke into this place are..."

"These sons of bitches, these hybrid beasts, I'm going to kill them." Rosko got up angrily and was about to rush out.

Jack, who was well prepared, left his seat almost at the same time and stopped in front of her at a faster speed than her. Roscoe tried hard to push Jack away, but he held his shoulders and spun around inexplicably. After walking for a circle and a half, he fell dizzy into the arms of Rachel who followed him.

“Watch your girl.” Jack returned to his seat and slapped the table aggressively.

"Now that I have finished my reasoning, you can each tell your own thoughts. There is no need for Rosko. You have expressed it very clearly just now."

"I don't have any ideas. I just want to find all the people who hurt my brother and kill them all." Reacher replied expressionlessly while holding Rosko tightly, who was still struggling.

"I am a policeman. Although this town does not welcome me, I must fulfill my duties. It is my duty to deal with crime." Although Finlay's words were a bit arrogant, the meaning was also expressed. Very clear.

"Well, I have a plan" Jack said, hesitated for a moment, and decided to change the word.

“.I have an idea, you can always help to add it.”

“First we need to confirm whether the mastermind behind all this is the Kleiner family, although it does not necessarily have to be Obtain evidence that can bring them to court, but for now, everything is just my and Reacher's reasoning. Although Joey is awake, he does not trust my friend and refuses to reveal more except his name and identity. details.”

"So, we need to rush to Atlanta as soon as possible to let the Reacher brothers meet, safely, without taking the tail."

Finlay objected, "But it's difficult to do, Mrs. Margrave When we are young, our every move will be watched by interested people. Maybe someone will follow us as soon as we leave here."

Jack pointed at him and agreed, "So, it is better to let the other party be exposed. Make it more obvious and give them a reason to stop us."

"Paul Heborg is missing, but his wife and daughter are still there. Sorry, Rosko, I eavesdropped on you before. Conversation with Stevenson. "

Seeing Jack apologizing to himself, Rosko, who was still in Reacher's arms, quickly waved her hands to show that she didn't care about such a trivial matter.

"If we take Paul's wife and daughter away at the same time and protect them, how do you think they will react?"

Rosko looked hesitant, "I have a good relationship with Charlie, I should be able to convince her. Come with us, but isn’t it too dangerous? Are you using her and the two children as bait?”

Ask for a monthly pass!

In addition, I would like to offer a new book "Tokyo: Beginning with Miko Big Sister" that will be released tomorrow. Friends who like light novels can give it a try. It is much faster than me.
