Chapter 169: He's a Gentleman
The old black barber threw the hot towel into the bamboo basket next to him, "That's because you didn't mess with her, there aren't many pretty girls in town, and little Kleiner is the only one who can't get her hands on her, what do you think is the reason?" ”
"Sounds like Mr. Moseley knows a lot about the Conklin family?" Jack began to talk about it, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Before Morrison's stupid pig became the police chief here, Roseco's adoptive father, Gray Conklin, was the guardian of the place, and when he was there, the Kleiner bunnies only dared to drive at speed."
Mr. Moseley spoke with a look of embarrassment.
"Conklin is a good guy, and I don't understand why a good guy like him would choose to finish himself up in the garage."
Jack remembered in a trance that the death of Roseco's adoptive father was not so simple, and he couldn't remember it specifically, but it must have something to do with the Kleiner Foundation.
The two chatted as they watched through the glass window as Reicher confronted the two young men, and a moment later, Reicher walked back, and the two Kleiner cubs drove away.
"They're threatening you?" Seeing that Raycher's face was not good, Jack asked directly.
"Well, they've found out some of my past in the military." Although Raicher still looked expressionless, the anger ignited in his eyes was palpable.
——
Dividing line -——
"Thank you for your service and see you again, Mr. Moseley." Jack settled the account between the two and walked out of the barbershop side by side with Raiccher.
"So, now you can tell me who you really are, who are you?" Raicher finally asked the question.
"LAPD on leave and a temporary IRS investigator."
Jack did not continue to hide it, directly told his identity, and admitted that he came to help his girlfriend get revenge, and the identity of this IRS investigator was only temporary.
Of course, the Kleiner Foundation's secret crime is making counterfeit money, and he doesn't say a word about what happened in Atlanta, and Joey Reicher is still in a coma, and everything will have to wait until he wakes up and say it out of his mouth, otherwise he will become a wizard of the unknown prophet.
Listening to Jack's account of what happened to Hannah's family more than ten years ago, Reicher was a little shocked, he was able to rely on the congressman for a time, and he was so ruthless, this is not an ordinary criminal syndicate.
"What the hell is this Kleiner family up to?"
Jack shook his head, "I don't know, they covered it up very deeply, and I only found some clues for the time being, and then I met you, I think as a former army policeman who once led the 'Army Military Police Unit 110 Special Investigation Team', there must be something extraordinary." ”
"So, you were next door to the conference room?" Reicher logically deduced the 'cause and effect'.
"Yes, I don't have the awkwardness of Finlay, I need a partner right now, and you happen to be targeted by some people." Jack sent the invitation bluntly.
"Well, in fact, I can get out of here at any time, and you're not the only one in town with a car." A sly smile appeared on Raycher's face that didn't match his honest appearance.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Jack's face, "So, you're not going to have dinner with that beautiful female police officer tonight?" ”
"Why don't I think about it and wait until tomorrow?"
Seeing that Raicher was still a little hesitant, Jack also understood that this kind of thing was bottomless muddy water when he heard it, and not everyone who had nothing to do with it was willing to take the initiative to go, this big guy was willing to think about it, and he was already worthy of the name of the detective in the original play.
But he is not in a hurry, anyway, he has a handful of Wang Fang in his hand, so he doesn't have to worry about this guy running away at all.
"With this phone with my number on it, even if you don't agree, you can leave with me early tomorrow morning, and I'm planning to go to Atlanta tomorrow."
Jack handed him a prepaid phone, which he had bought a dozen on the way here, and it was so useful that it wasn't easy to track.
Saying goodbye to Reicher, Jack went straight back to the hotel, first called Hannah, and learned that the other big man was still unconscious, but the doctor said that he was recovering well, and judging from the brain wave images, it would not take more than 24 hours to wake up.
After confirming that no stranger showed up at the hospital to inquire about the news, Jack was relieved to explain that the Kleiner family had not found their whereabouts, so he gave Hannah a rough account of what had happened to him for more than a day, focusing on Justin's prank.
Hannah, who was on the other side of the phone, was laughed so hard that she made a bunch of promises about various poses before coaxing Jack,
Then the call was handed to the Wolf brothers, and Jack expressed his gratitude to Chris and Braxton, the two brothers were really capable, and it can be said that they desperately saved Joey Reicher for one of his requests.
Eventually, he contacted Justin, who had finally lost his temper, and Jack asked her to help investigate two people, Paul Huburg, of course, and Roseco's adoptive father, Gray Conklin.
After a night of silence, the next morning, Jack unexpectedly received a call from Finlay, his voice trembling slightly.
"There's another murder, it's Director Morrison. With his wife, was that guy with you last night? ”
"Tell me the address, I'll come with him, don't worry about Reicher, I'm sure he has ample alibi."
Jack and Recher's rooms were not adjacent, not even on the same floor, and in order to avoid some embarrassing scenes, he didn't bother to knock on the door, and directly called the mobile phone number given to him yesterday.
"Big Jack, something happened, we'll see you downstairs, take the girl in your arms."
"What's wrong? What girl? Reicher's voice sounded confused, and the sounds around him sounded like he was in a car rather than in a room.
"Huh?" Jack was a little surprised, could he have guessed wrong?
"You didn't go on a date last night?"
Raicher on the other side of the phone was obviously still a little sleepy, "Last night Rose drove me to a bar outside of town, and when we came back, it was raining heavily and the water washed away the road, so."
"So you didn't come back last night? I guess there is only one room in the nearby motel because there are too many people staying in the street, right? ”
Jack let out a wicked sneer.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and suddenly an annoyed female voice came out, "Damn, nothing happened to us, he's a gentleman who slept on the floor all night, and we're on our way back now." ”
Jack almost didn't burst his belly laughing, but he really made him guess eight or nine.
"Okay, no kidding, something really happened, I just got a call from Finlay, and there was another murder, that Morrison chief of the Margrave Town Police Department and his wife were killed last night."
