Chapter 64: The Death of "Jack".
"I was there to track down Jack, how could I be the kind of person who likes to go to Hell's Kitchen!" Monet argued.
Madeleine snorted, "Hmph, who knows if you're going to track down Jack or go to see that kind of play." ”
"Oh, why can't I explain it clearly!" Monet said depressedly.
Seeing Monet's appearance, Madeleine sneered: "Okay, I won't tease you, I believe that the tasteful Mr. Monet will not like to go to a vulgar place like Hell's Kitchen!" ”
Although Monet felt that it was okay to be vulgar occasionally, and the coffee was quite delicious with garlic, he still nodded firmly at the moment and agreed: "Of course, how could someone as elegant as me go to see that kind of thing?" ”
After a few more words, Monet said, "Okay, I have to go home quickly, I think Ruth should be in a hurry to talk to me about finding Jack now, because she has no other friends in New York besides me!" ”
"You have a point, then you better go back quickly, lest Ruth can't find you, I'm sure she's going crazy now!"
Monet's guess proved correct, and as soon as he got home, Nicole said to him, "There's a lady Hockley calling for you, as if she was in a hurry!" ”
So Monet immediately dialed the phone back, only to hear Ruth say to him very anxiously: "Tony, I remember that you have a good relationship with the police department, right, can you ask them to find Jack, I, I really want to see him!" ”
Monet replied with some embarrassment: "I am indeed friends with Sheriff Klein, and I am also an external painter in the police department, but they may not really be able to help in this matter, because this is not a murder or kidnapping, it is not even a disappearance, and we can't even be sure if it is Jack, so there is no reason for the police to send a large number of police forces to find it!" ”
Ruth pleaded, "I know it's hard for you, but I can't find anyone in New York, and I'm sure you'd want to see Jack, right?" ”
Monet said to himself, I really don't want to see Jack, because then the lies I told in front of you before will be exposed, but he can also understand Ruth's feelings, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go to the police station to try, and then send a missing person notice on "Comet"!" ”
"Okay, okay, then please!" Ruth thanked again and again.
But the next development of things was greatly unexpected by Monet, although when he was looking for Sheriff Klein, the other party seemed very embarrassed, and only sent a few police officers who were usually familiar with Monet to help, but in the evening Sheriff Klein personally came to the door and said to him with a serious face: "Tony, we have found the Jack you said - Mr. Dawson!" ”
"Really? That's great, where is he now? Monet asked excitedly.
Unexpectedly, Sheriff Klein replied with an ugly face, "Well, he's in the morgue of our police station right now." ”
"Morgue? You—You mean he's dead? Monet couldn't help but exclaim.
Sheriff Klein nodded and replied, "That's right, someone found his dead body by the river an hour ago, and when we arrived at the scene, we found that he was exactly the same as Mr. Jack Dawson that you provided to us, so come and let you know!" ”
Monet never thought that his second meeting with "Jack" was actually in the morgue, but he still asked cautiously: "Eh, sheriff, are you sure he is Jack Dawson?" ”
Sheriff Klein glared at Monet, then replied angrily, "Didn't you say he was Jack Dawson?" And you also provided the portrait! ”
"Well, I can only say that his appearance, figure, clothes and hairstyle are exactly the same as the Jack Dawson we know, but whether he is Jack Dawson or not, I can't be sure!" Monet replied with some embarrassment.
"The appearance, figure, clothes and hairstyle are exactly the same, can it still not be a person?" Sheriff Klein asked rhetorically.
"It's hard to say. By the way, I thought of someone who would definitely be able to prove that he wasn't Jack! Wait for me, Mr. Sheriff! With that, Monet ran out and called Ruth and asked her to come to the police station.
When she saw "Jack" lying in the morgue, Ruth collapsed at that time, lying on Jack's body in pain, Monet hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Ruth, you calm down first, now we can't be sure that it must be Jack who died!" ”
Ruth pointed to "Jack's" body and asked Monet, "This, who else could this be?" ”
"In case this person just happens to look exactly like Jack......"
Before Monet could finish speaking, Ruth interrupted: "And then happened to have the same hairstyle, wear the same clothes, and come to the Titanic shipwreck memorial site with flowers?" ”
"Well, it's a bit of a coincidence, but it's not impossible, right?" Monet retorted.
"Tony, I feel like you're writing detective novels and can't think with normal thinking, okay, so how do you know for sure he's Jack?" Ruth replied angrily.
Monet glanced left and right, and then whispered in Ruth's ear, and then saw Ruth crying and laughing and asked, "Is this necessary?" ”
"I think there is!" Monet insisted.
"Okay, then you guys get out of here!" Ruth reluctantly agreed.
After being dragged out by Monet, Sheriff Klein asked him, "Tony, who the hell is this Mrs. Hockley?" Why was she able to determine if the deceased was Jack? And why did she kick us all out when she was sure? ”
"She was a lover with Jack when she was on the boat, so I asked her to observe the physical features of this corpse in particular, and if that was all right, then it would be certain that he was Jack!" Monet explained.
"Hey, if she could identify Jack, wouldn't Mr. Hockley ......," Sheriff Klein asked, gossipy.
Monet didn't answer, just nodded, but Sheriff Klein already understood what he meant......
Just when Sheriff Klein wanted to discuss it with Monet in detail, Ruth suddenly ran out of the morgue and shouted at Monet, "Tony, he, he's really not Jack!" ”
Monet casually asked, "Are you sure?" ”
I saw Ruth blushing and replied very embarrassed: "Well, I'm sure, but it's inconvenient to say the reason!" ”
PS: Today I watched a movie "Rat Train" that is claimed to be a domestic "Train to Busan", and I unexpectedly found that it is actually not bad, at least in my opinion, it is worth at least six points!
