Chapter 181 Revenge
Compared to the thick stack of printed materials brought by Joey’s beautiful female Secret Service administrator Molly Beth Gordon, Reacher and Roscoe left the barber shop A whole large wooden box was brought back.
After opening the box with the key found in the gun box, everyone, led by Dana and Chris, got involved in sorting out the information.
Why Dana and Chris are the main ones? Because most of them are copies of the Kleiner Foundation's tax return materials, detailing almost every transaction.
"The Foundation has a large amount of money flowing into Kleiner Industries and other businesses and community groups in the town of Margrave. They actually buy everything around here, including people's hearts, with counterfeit money."< br>
It took less than an hour for Chris to come to a conclusion.
Supervisor Ray King, who arrived in Atlanta this morning, took off his reading glasses and pinched his eyebrows.
“This also means that even if we have enough evidence, this will be a protracted legal battle, and almost no one in this town will be on our side, but will see us as destroying them The culprit of a happy life."
Jack said, "Kleiner only needs to smuggle the remaining counterfeit money out of the country, and then burn down the factory and replace it with a similarly lifeless small town with convenient transportation. The town can go back to its old business."
His early decision was to just flip the table and let the authorities wipe the mess. The FBI's cleanup operation against the ogres in New Mexico was what he wanted. Opened the door to a new world.
Seeing this kid looking at him with stern eyes, Ray Jin certainly knew what he was thinking, "I need a reasonable reason, otherwise I can't endorse your private raid."
Jack hit. Snapped his fingers and took a piece of information handed over by Zoe.
“This is an investigation report. Detective Finley said that he had a friend from the FBI who once advised him not to come to Margrave. This sentence made me have some associations, so I asked for help. Yi did some research through her connections. "
"Not long after Hannah's parents were killed, an Environmental Protection Agency investigator died unexpectedly, and an FBI agent named Pickard was assigned to investigate. After the incident, the case was hastily closed, and it was concluded that it was manslaughter caused by burglary. "
Hannah continued, "According to Joey's investigation, the killer was a well-known local professional killer, nicknamed 'Viking'. People'."
"Coincidentally, we just learned the name of his FBI friend, Pickard, from Detective Finlay. He happened to be in the FBI office in Austin ten years ago, and now he is based in the Atlanta office."
"What's even more coincidental is that his partner was a 'Viking' about the same size as Reacher. Unfortunately, he died of cancer three years ago."
"Your FBI salary is too low. Are you working part-time as a professional killer or colluding with the counterfeit money group? Why don't you and Jack join us as investigators for the IRS?"
Lei Jin poached the corner half-jokingly.
Hannah glanced at Jack. She was not short of money, but she joined the FBI mainly to avenge her parents. Now that she has seen revenge, the FBI is no longer so attractive to her. .
If Jack is willing, it won't make much difference to her whether to stay in the FBI or go to the IRS. Of course Jack is not willing. Going to the IRS to check taxes will not have as much experience as going to the BAU to solve crimes.
He knocked on the table to signal everyone to listen to the key points.
“This information is enough for the IRS to block the local FBI office, and if it goes through the process to call FBI support elsewhere, there may not be enough time.”
The IRS did not have a previous network. Why do they boast about having an independent armed force? When investigators go out for tax inspections, it is best to carry a pistol with them. When they need to use force, they basically ask for the assistance of the FBI. On the contrary, the FBI offices in each state basically have their own SWAT teams. .
The really cool thing about the IRS is that it has its own independent tax courts and prisons.
As an old fox who has matured in age, Lei Jin certainly knows what this kid is planning. It is nothing more than paving the way for various reasons so that he can lead the group of people in front of him to avenge himself.
He thought for a moment and raised a small question, "What is your reason for raiding the Kleiner family? I can completely bypass the local FBI office and communicate with their superiors. It will take two days at most. A SWAT team will arrive in Atlanta."
"This evidence is enough to apply for a search warrant to conduct a raid on Kleiner Industries. I cannot order a local police officer on the grounds that the other party intends to destroy evidence. The police detectives from the bureau, along with an LAPD on leave, an FBI whose identity cannot be revealed, and even a few civilians rushed in to kill them. "
Jack was already confident, "Kidnapping, we need to rescue the hostages. "
Lei Jin was stunned, "Who did the Kleiner family kidnap?"
"The wives and daughters of Paul Hebaugh's family. Charlie Hebaugh took his two daughters and hid in his cousin Stevenson's house. In order to force Paul to show up, several South American killers infiltrated Stevenson's house tonight. , kidnapped them in front of Detective Finlay. "
"In order to rescue the hostages, Detective Finlay followed the murderer with elite police officers from the local police station and several good citizens passing by. Kleiner Industrial's factory just happened to find a large amount of counterfeit banknotes and a complete set of materials and equipment used to make counterfeit banknotes."
After finishing speaking, Jack thought about it again and found that he had a talent for writing scripts. .
Ray King almost lost his joy, "So, who are the mother and daughter who live in the next room and are protected by the old police detectives?" Jack looked around with an innocent face, " Do you know the old couple next door who are traveling with their granddaughter? ”
Everyone around shook their heads, and the thin-skinned people like Dana raised their heads to admire the beautiful scenery on the ceiling to avoid laughing.
Lei Jin rolled his eyes for a long time, and finally restrained the urge to curse.
"If you can guarantee that no principal culprit will come to court, I can turn a blind eye to all this. Because of the traitor problem, the FBI will also expect to close the case quickly. As for the Secret Service"
Everyone's face is exposed A smile that everyone understands.
In order to avoid suspicion, Ray King got up and left the room, and went next door to keep company with an unknown old couple who were traveling with their granddaughters. Jack began to assign tasks to everyone.
"As long as there are no accidents on Finley's side, we will take action tonight. In order to avoid the other party's detection, we need to sneak in in batches before dark."
"Everyone is divided into three groups, and one group ambush in Steve Near Vincent's house, another group monitors the movement of the factory set up by the Kleiner family on the ranch, and the last group is responsible for protecting the safety of the Heborg family. When everything is over, we need them to be at the scene."
< br>At this point, Jack paused and looked at the other Jack Reacher, "Is there any way to find Paul Heborg? We need him to provide the internal layout of the factory. We may not have time to force out this information."
Rachel glanced at the time and nodded confidently, "I will bring him before dark. Chasing fugitives is my strength."
At this time, Jack's cell phone suddenly rang. She got up and opened it to see a message from Justin. Jack had previously asked her to investigate two things, one was the whereabouts of Paul Heborg, and the other was information related to the death of Roscoe's adoptive father Gray.
Paul hid well, did not use a credit card, and did not drive by himself. Justin had no choice but to send some of his background information for reference.
Rachel just flipped through the information, checked the electronic map on his mobile phone, and said confidently, "He is hiding in Augusta."
Everyone was Casting a suspicious look, is it so rash?
“Paul is not a bad person. In his logic, he just goes out to hide in the limelight and will not be too far away from his family. Once Kleiner threatens him with his family, he must be able to ensure that he appears in time. "
As he spoke, he drew a circle on the map with his finger, "Atlanta is a big city, he will be very uncomfortable, and feel that Kleiner's spies are everywhere; Athens County, where the University of Georgia is located, anyone They will be the first to go there to find him.”
"Remember when he was in prison and wanted to listen to "Rocky Coon" that his mother sang when she was a child? He habitually finds a comfort zone for himself. According to the information, he likes to play golf and has played competitions at Augusta National. I had great memories there.”
It’s a ridiculous reasoning, but it seems to make some sense.
Braxton, who had remained silent, questioned unconvincedly, "But even if you know that he is hiding in Augusta, how do you know where he is hiding?"
Lei Che showed a mysterious smile, "He didn't dare to use a credit card or reveal his identity information. He could only stay in cheap motels that charge by the hour and look for them around long-distance bus stops."
Everyone was silent for a moment. Jack coughed lightly, hoping that this protagonist's aura would work, and then he looked at Roscoe.
"One more thing, Justin hacked into the coroner's office database and helped find the autopsy photos of your adoptive father Gray. Do you still remember that he had a wound on his head?"
Rosko's Breathing He suddenly became anxious, "At that time, the coroner said that he might have accidentally fallen before hanging, because the wound was not fatal. Have you found evidence that he was murdered?"
Since he found out that his adoptive father was investigating before he was alive, Kleiner Industries, Roscoe began to suspect that the cause of his adoptive father's death was not suicide.
Jack showed her an enlarged photo of the wound, "This is Justin's enlarged image, and the diamond-shaped impact marks can be clearly seen on it."
Ro Scoo suddenly stood up, "It's Tiller's fat pig. His cane is inlaid with a diamond-shaped artificial moissanite. He has long been in collusion with the Kleiner family. It was he who killed Gray. Then it was disguised as suicide.”
Seeing that the girl was getting excited again, Lei Che quickly hugged her into his arms.
“My suggestion is that you and Rachel go to find Paul together. On the way back, you can pass by the house of the respected mayor and police chief. After all, people who collude with the Kleiner family, It’s reasonable for the corpse to appear in the factory where they make counterfeit banknotes, right?”
After giving the suggestion, Jack nodded at Braxton, who pulled out an Osprey silencer from his waist. The P14 was handed to Reacher.
