Chapter 1046 Going to Africa?
After spending ten minutes visiting John, Professor Cahill spent another three days inspecting Jack's academic performance before he sat on the plane back to Washington, D.C. with satisfaction.
After writing a lot of reports, Jack also embarked on a flight back to New York.
After some careful reflection, someone decided to try to be as peaceful as possible in the new year, mainly not to go out unless necessary, so as not to increase the number of sins.
I still vaguely remember the plan I made to travel along the interstate highway. Now it seems that I was quite naive at that time.
It's not like I haven't encountered a gangster police officer before. He was from the NYPD and has fought against them twice, but this is the first time he has killed so many in one go.
Of course, the main problem must still be with John, it must be.
Back in New York, Jack spent a few days dealing with trivial matters, such as sending several copies of "Joan Doe" to the autistic sister of a girl who was in danger in Hawaii. "The autographed "Ba Zongwen" novel.
Although Jack said he didn't know "Joan Doe" when chatting with Julie in the jungle, as an FBI and detective novel writer, it seems impossible to get these things. It's quite difficult.
This is also the little surprise that Jack promised to Julie.
And this little surprise also brought him a little trouble that he didn't know about. Although he used his left hand and deliberately imitated female handwriting, Hannah accidentally noticed it when he was preparing to sign the two novels.
The first time Hannah opened the two novels when she was cleaning Jack's room, the plastic wrappers had not been opened, but when she saw it on the desk that afternoon, she found a brand new one on the title page. 's signature.
The little sweet girl was very sure that Jack neither went out nor had visitors that day, so she only needed simple reasoning to come to a seemingly incredible conclusion.
Then it was very logical that Jiejie also knew this little secret. She happened to be proficient in some "literary inspection" skills, so a small "task force" was established.
The two girls bought all the novels under the name of "Joan Doe" and compared them word for word with the only book Jack has published so far, "Jack Reacher".
Different from the "document inspection" that is commonly known by the public, "document inspection" is not only about identifying handwriting, but also involves related fields of linguistics, philology and psychology.
A person’s idioms when writing and the order in which he organizes language are all traceable.
While the two girls were happily studying their newly discovered little secret without telling everyone, the second mission from the International Department also approached everyone from the wanted criminal group.
When Rosie arrived at the team's office near Long Island with a middle-aged man whose hair was as meticulously combed as his, Jack, Aubrey and Clay were playing with the new car in the garage. The Audi R8 I got.
Jubal and Alice were practicing shooting in the small shooting range next to the garage. The "bang bang" sound of gunfire and the sound of the engine were mixed together and deafening, making the place lively like a stronghold of a bad gang.
"This is Jon Michaels, the new director of the International Department."
Rosie glanced at everyone when introducing her, and both Jubal and Jack also noticed that this person looked He doesn't seem like a relatable character, he keeps a straight face from beginning to end.
But this has little to do with them. We are all in different departments. Although this person is higher than Jubal in terms of level, the director of the next department cannot control them.
Compared to before, the chaos in the International Department is far from subdued. Even several of Rossi's old friends are involved in it, and they are a little uncomfortable with each other. This made Rossi a little troubled. Originally he was just helping out, but in the end, helping him made him feel a little different inside and out.
However, fighting for power and profit happens everywhere, and for Rosie, it is just a little annoying. It is nothing more than a few words like "little pumpkin" and "little biscuit".
But for everyone in the wanted criminal group, the case sent by the International Department this time is a bit troublesome. Of course, if it is not troublesome, there is no need to find foreign aid, and the place is still far away. The key is that time is still tight.
"Tanzania?" Jack's only impression of this country is that its army is said to be relatively capable in Africa. Of course, the reason seems to be well known.
Jubal is focused on the case itself, "23 American tourists disappeared, all from a missionary church in Texas."
When talking about the specific circumstances of this case, Rossi frowned It's almost a knot.
"Garcia finally figured out their number. The locals seem to be very insensitive to numbers. The specific identities of the missing people are still being collected, but at least half of them don't seem to have social accounts. "
Jubal picked up the few documents on the table and flipped through them. "The last witness record was that they were volunteers in a small town and then got on the train to the north together. .
The train conductor said he saw them at 2:30 a.m. local time, uh.”
He glanced at the global time zone table displayed on Alice’s computer and silently said in his heart. After calculating for a while, he continued, "That was almost 16 hours ago."
"Have the local police or the military searched the stations where the train stopped?" Aubrey was obviously concerned about his The question doesn't come with much confidence.
Rossi gave a ridiculous answer, "Here's the problem. It is said that the train did not stop at all, and 23 people just disappeared into thin air on the moving train.
Train All the staff on the bus claimed that there were no cars stopped along the way, and there was no special movement. Then the local police were ready to use the reason of "ascension" to close the case. "
This word was heard by everyone at the scene. Everyone frowned, and Clay even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "Is the 'ascension' you mean the ascension that I understand? The one that goes to heaven?"
"That's what it means. "Rosie smiled bitterly and shrugged.
“Then our task is to investigate on the premise that God did not appear and take away His believers, so how much time do we have before the Vatican intervenes?”
Jack made a joke, but the smile quickly froze on his face because of Rosie's answer.
"Both governments have agreed to issue a media statement to inform the public of the disappearance after 24 hours, and this time will be calculated from the time your plane lands."
Jack covered his head and felt a little bit. I regret that I was so obsessed with being tempted by Rossi, the devil, to sign an agreement to help the International Department with five cases. I completely forgot that not long ago, I had followed up the renovation progress of the Bombardier business jet with great interest.
