Chapter 928 Goodbye Reacher
Murfreesboro, Arkansas, a small town less than an hour away from Hot Springs, has the most desirable place for those who dream of getting rich every day, Crater of Diamonds State Park.
Jack and his friends passed by here just a few months ago, turned a corner and ran to the next door Jesseville County to dig up a pile of natural crystals, but he did not expect to return here so quickly.
Looking at the big guy who was beating people in the distance, he shook his head speechlessly and chose to continue to sit back and watch.
I saw Jack Reacher striding towards a Buick car, wrapping his coat tightly with his right fist and swinging it hard, easily breaking the car window glass, and by the way, he beat Lao Mo who was still cursing in the car. Caught off guard.
Before Lao Mo could react, his head was held down by a big hand and hit hard on the steering wheel. Then his right hand holding the gun was pulled out of the car window by Reacher, and he put it on the reflector and forced it away.
The crisp fracture was accompanied by Lao Mo's scream. The pistol was already in Reacher's hand. He put the gun on the roof of the car, opened the door and punched it several times, and finally clamped the door with the car door. The guy's calf was kicked forward.
A large piece of the Buick door was deflated, and Lao Mo suffered a shattered calf fracture. He fainted from the pain without saying a word. When Lei Che looked up, he saw a pair of handcuffs appearing in front of him, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Jack held the handcuffs with his left hand and handed them to Rachel. With his right hand, he opened the back door of the Buick, took out the frightened and crying little boy, and handed it to the boy's mother who rushed over in panic.
“It’s okay, baby.”
The woman with bruises on her face took over the little boy, who was no more than five or six years old, and cried, "Dear, it's okay, mom is here."
"What happened? Family kidnapping or Carjacking?" Jack raised his eyebrows at Rachel.
"Carjacking." Reacher put handcuffs on Lao Mo, who had fallen into a deep coma, removed the magazine from the pistol on the roof of the car and threw it into the car. Then he pointed at the ATM behind him and spoke succinctly, " She was withdrawing money in front of me, and this scum kidnapped her child."
Jack looked at the wad of cash he had just taken out in the woman's hand and couldn't help but sigh, "You know how to repair in a small place like this. How much does a car window glass and door sheet metal cost?”
Leicher couldn’t help but hesitate. The woman had just taken out a pile of cash, but it was all in denominations of 20 yuan, which was the most by visual inspection. $500.
"It costs at least 200 dollars to replace the window glass alone, 150 dollars to apply the film, and the door sheet metal is even more expensive."
Jack's words made Rachel's confident smile completely freeze on his face, and he was stunned. The guy watched as he pulled out a checkbook.
"Sorry madam, because my companion's impulsiveness caused your loss, I don't know whether the insurance company will refuse compensation. If the money is not enough, please contact me."
Jack wrote He handed a check for $500 along with his business card to the mother who was still in a daze. She patted Rachel on the shoulder and planned to leave with him.
“Wait a minute, are you the FBI?” The woman hugged her son at a loss and looked at the unconscious robber Lao Mo who was lying on the ground.
"Perhaps, but this is not a federal case and does not fall within our jurisdiction. You can also report my name to the police. There should be someone in the Forrest District Court who remembers this name."
Jack After saying that, he waved his hands and didn't want the handcuffs.
"How did you find me?" Reacher withdrew $60 from the ATM machine, and then took Jack into a second-hand clothing store across the street.
"I'm the FBI. Isn't it normal to find out your whereabouts?" Jack looked matter-of-factly and watched Reacher buy a second-hand jacket. His original one was already stained with that old ink. The nosebleeds were gone, so I found a fast food restaurant and sat down to explain my purpose.
"Do you still remember the name Calvin Franz?"
Reacher paused slightly while chewing the sandwich, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he said deeply asked, "What happened to him?"
"He disappeared after leaving home about 10 days ago, and his body was found three days ago by several hikers in the Catskill Mountains, according to CSI According to the report issued by the crime laboratory, they suspected that Franz had been tortured before his death.
The head of the laboratory found some connections and found out that he had worked in the 110 Special Investigation Team led by you. , and then I contacted my brother Joey, and he said that the last time you contacted him, the phone area code was in Arkansas."
As he spoke, Jack took out an anonymous mobile phone and threw it to him, "Please. From now on, I’ll turn on the phone at least once a week. I’ll leave you a message if I have something to do. Do you know how many people I spent searching for the on-board surveillance video of Greyhound buses?”
Reacher pulled a napkin casually, asked the waitress to borrow a pen, and wrote a series of numbers on it.
"This is my pension account. Next time I have an emergency, I will put 1 dollar and 10 cents into it. I can't guarantee that this phone will follow me for a long time."
Jack Po Wei Wuyu put away the tissue, looked at the time and urged, "Please eat quickly, the plane won't wait for us too long."
Lei Che couldn't help being startled when he heard this, "You FBI can still let the flight Stop and wait for someone?"
An FBI couldn't help but smile a little proudly, "Of course the one who can wait for someone is a private business jet."
——
An hour later, Reacher stretched out his long legs in the Gulfstream business jet extremely comfortably, "I haven't seen you for more than two years. It seems that your career in the FBI is quite successful."
Jack picked out a bottle of whiskey that was still half full from the wine cabinet and poured him some. Judging from the age, it should be Rosie’s collection.
“The plane is a business jet borrowed from the BAU team. They happened to be working on a case in New York recently, but I now have my own team and will soon have my own business jet.”
This is not a show off, because Reacher doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. This guy lives as he pleases and is not bound by anything. Jack is just showing in disguise that he can help as a friend, which is still a big help.
"I want to understand the case first." Reacher's expression became a little gloomy.
"It's all in the file bag you have. I know your style, but I still have to ask, are you going to investigate this case yourself?" Jack asked, playing with the wine glass.
Retcher flipped through the information in the file bag and replied seemingly unanswered, "When the 110 Special Investigation Team was established, I was personally responsible for recruiting Franz. There is a motto in our team. "Don't mess with the special investigators."
"OK." Jack shrugged and took out a small box from his pocket and opened it. Inside were two fixed blocks soaked in saline that looked like dentures.
He inserted the fixing block into his mouth, blocking the back molars one on the left and the other on the right. His cheek was immediately stretched open, forming a square chin, and then he attached it to himself under Reacher's surprised gaze. Fake beard.
