Chapter 937 Atlantic City

Niggly drove Jack and Reacher to Franz's house again. In addition to visiting, he also suggested that their mother and son temporarily leave New York, a place of right and wrong.

Franz’s wife Angela agreed, but not until two days later, because Franz’s body has been handed over to the coroner’s office by CSI and will be returned soon, and the funeral will be Held in two days.

Farewell to the poor mother and son, the three drove directly out of New York and onto the New Jersey Expressway.

“Are you sure you don’t need us to follow you?” Hannah asked on the phone.

"Protect Angela and her child. If everything goes well, we'll be back tomorrow." Jack glanced at the rearview mirror and confirmed that a black SUV had followed their car before hanging up the phone.

In addition to fishing out the guy they were following, they also planned to go to Atlantic City, where Sanchez and Orozco's offices were.

When he was on the phone, Reacher was also on the phone, but the response to him was still an official reply and a voicemail message.

"The people in Dixon's office still refuse to disclose her whereabouts?" Nigli's expression was a little strange.

“At least we know she should be fine, but doing some undercover work, and if she is on vacation, she should report her whereabouts to her agency.

O'Donnell must have noticed something unusual. Although he didn't reply, he made a slight change to his voice message. I left a message asking him to wait for us in Atlantic City. "

After finishing speaking, Reacher saw Nigli's gossipy face and couldn't help but glared, "Do you have anything to say? "

"Please, we all know that you and Dixon were very close, have you slept with each other? "Although Nigli is a woman, she speaks without any scruples.

"Of course not. Lei Che's eyes flickered, "That's inappropriate." "

"Not appropriate? Isn't it suitable for Roscoe? "Idle time is idle, and Jack also joined in the gossip.

"Who is Rosko?" Nigli glanced at Jack in the back seat and asked with interest.

"A police officer in Margrave Town is now the mayor." Jack smiled evilly.

"That's different, Jack." Reacher paused, not knowing whether he was emphasizing to Jack or himself, and repeated, "That's different."
< br>The originally dull atmosphere in the car suddenly became cheerful. Instead of all three people being depressed, it would be better to build the happiness of two people on the pain of one person.

Nigley asked relentlessly, "We have been together for more than three years, but nothing happened between you and Dixon. How long have you stayed in Margrave Town? A month?" ”

"Less than a week." Jack continued to backstab, "That girl still misses him, and he is still single."

Of course, what he said is purely free-spirited testimony, and Roscoe is still single now. Maybe it was because of the busy work of the mayor, but it didn't stop him from using this matter to tease Reacher at this time.

"I said it was different." Reacher was almost annoyed to death by these two guys, "We were soldiers at that time, and it was inappropriate behavior to do that."

" Is there any problem? You two have the same rank, you are both a major." Nigli couldn't help laughing. Although she and Reacher were both teachers and friends in private, after all, they were in the military and had a strict superior-subordinate relationship.

“I was responsible for leading the team at the time, and it was very inappropriate and unethical to do that.”

This sentence caused the two gossips to fall into silence. After a long silence, Nigli shook his head and sighed, "This is really a Reacher-style answer, old-fashioned and honest, but also awe-inspiring."

While eating melon happily, someone who inexplicably felt that he had been hit by an arrow shrank his neck and looked out the window, forcibly changing the subject. "Nigley, after passing Staten Island, be sure not to miss the on-ramp. Next, you have to get on the Garden State Expressway. You can drive slower and don't let our tail get lost."



Nigley didn't notice anything strange, "Can you tell me about your experience in Margrave?"

Reacher glanced meaningfully at Jack, who was silent in the back seat, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. To give an arc, "This story may be a bit long, so let's start with a certain scammer who is a soft-boiled person"

Jack "."

Atlantic City is the second largest casino city in the United States, once second only to Las Vegas in size. If you drive smoothly from New York, it only takes less than 2 Hours later, although today is not a weekend, there are still many buses on the road.

Many buses have the logos of various casinos printed on them. These are free shuttle buses that are responsible for transporting tourists from New York to Atlantic City.

In good years, each visitor can get free chips ranging from 10 to 20 US dollars after getting off the bus, as well as coupons for delicious buffets.

But these are all stories of the past. In the past few years, due to the poor economy and the rise of many gambling industries in Pennsylvania and other places, this city famous for its casinos and beauty pageants has become increasingly depressed, and was even on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although the economy has recovered in recent years, it still has not been able to regain its former glory. After all, this is just a small town with a population of less than 60,000 people. The livelihood of everyone in the city is maintained by those large and small In a casino, everyone is prosperous and everyone loses.

When the three of them arrived in Atlantic City, the lights were already on, and the neon lights of various casinos illuminated the small city extremely brilliantly.

They are not interested in gambling, but the hotel and casino here are integrated, so if you want to spend the night here, you can only find one along the boardwalk.

Many seaside cities in the United States have boardwalks, but Atlantic City’s boardwalk is probably the most famous, with a width of more than 18 meters and a length of nearly 10 kilometers.

On one side of the boardwalk are scenic beaches and the magnificent Atlantic Ocean in the distance, while on the other side are large and small casinos and various luxury stores and restaurants.

Beach beaches, palm trees, huge Ferris wheels, long boardwalks, and brightly lit casinos all together form such a lavish city.

"This should be it." Nigli stood under a colorful neon sign, looking at the huge letters named "Neptune" on it and shrugged.

"Are we staying here tonight?" Lei Che couldn't help but frowned again.

"Does an overly comfortable bed give you nightmares? I almost forgot, you still owe me a door lock." Jack teased.

"You obviously broke it yourself." Reacher retorted dissatisfied.

"That's because you're worried that something will happen to you." The two bickered as they followed Nigli through two rows of fancy slot machines.

In the middle of the casino is a huge circular bar, surrounded by a circle of wine tables, and around the wine tables are gambling tables. This arrangement is very convenient for tourists to order a cocktail when they are tired. Take a break and then keep fighting.

Nigley's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings and landed on a gambling table with the most people around. He turned back and smiled at Rachel.

"Madam, you already have a 10 and an 8, do you want to continue flipping cards?" The croupier sitting at the bank is an aunt wearing a green casino vest. At this time, her face is similar to the vest she is wearing. a color.

"Of course, and I'm going to double my bet." The gambler sitting opposite the dealer is a voluptuous white woman with long brown hair, simply tied into a single ponytail.

Although she could not clearly see her appearance with her back to Jack and the three of them at the moment, just looking at her back can make people imagine.
