Joey Reicher recovered quickly and had been transferred from the ICU to a regular double ward, and the same ward with him was naturally Chris, who was shot in the leg.

However, in Jack's opinion, there is still a gap in the treatment of the two, Dana, who has not been seen for a long time, is feeding Chris fruit at the bedside at this time, compared to Joey, who is alone, looks much more pitiful.

Mr. and Mrs. Hunt did not enter the hospital, and the two old men took the two children of the Heburg family directly to a hotel not far from the hospital to rest, while Charlie followed everyone into the ward.

Dana looked much more confident than before, dressed in a black professional outfit, and Jack keenly observed that she was also wearing a gun.

"Dana is now an analyst at the IRS, and she was the plenipotentiary before Director Ray Kim arrived."

After greeting everyone, Hannah whispered that Jack was in a trance, how long has it been, and the IRS doesn't need to train anyone.

"Joe!" The two Reicher brothers reunited after a long absence, and when they saw their brother wearing an oxygen mask on the hospital bed, Jack Reicher no longer looked like a tough guy, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"Hey, bro." A weakened Joey whispered hello.

"I didn't expect to see you here, I talked to you about Blind Blake, just knowing that you like the blues, maybe you'll go to that town someday."

Jack Reicher crouched down in front of the hospital bed like a big bear, holding Joey's hand tightly.

"You should have asked me for help, have you forgotten your mother's dying instructions, you can't carry everything alone."

A wry smile appeared on Joey's face, "Now I can't do anything while lying here, and the rest is up to you to do it, help me take down the Kleiner family." ”

The two brothers didn't talk much, but after briefly talking about the old for a while, they went straight to the point.

Jack stepped forward to briefly introduce himself, and Joey had been in a coma before, and this was the first official meeting between the two.

"Those two ladies told me all of your purpose when they took care of me."

Joey's gaze swept over Hannah and Zoe behind him.

"I asked them to help connect with my colleague in the Secret Service, Molly Beth Gordon, who was on her way to Atlanta with her materials."

"With all due respect, there was at one point a member of Congress standing behind the Kleiner family, and they infiltrated various law enforcement agencies."

Jack didn't shy away from saying it, after all, Joey's accident must not be so simple, and someone who knew his identity must have reported to Kleiner.

Joey smiled, "I know, but Molly is trustworthy and we have a close relationship."

Is it an office romance again?

Joy, who met his own brother, explained the situation he had investigated, and everyone finally fully understood the details of the Kleiner family.

Joy, the director of the Secret Service's Office of Investigations, was responsible for combating counterfeiting of antiques and knife music, and it took him three years to completely stop counterfeit money in the country through an executive order and a number of related procedures.

He didn't specify, but Jack could guess that it was probably a procedure to control the sale of acid-free paper, from production to full traceability of the sale.

Later, Joey threw himself into the international investigation of counterfeit banknotes.

"Unlike the 100-yuan bills that we rarely see in China, 80% of the knife music in the international market is 100-yuan bills, which are circulated through underground transactions such as D products, weapons, and human trafficking."

"After my research with two economics professors at Columbia University, I found that in the past ten years, nearly 10 billion knife music has flowed out of Venezuela to the world, and even after I blocked the raw material paper, it has not decreased, so I did one thing."

Seeing Joey cough lightly twice, Jack Reicher hurriedly took a cup from the cabinet beside him, dipped it in water with a cotton swab, and helped him moisten his lips.

"I didn't expect to be taken care of by you, brother." Joey smiled wryly and continued.

"I persuaded the Coast Guard to add a sum of money, and they maintained a close patrol along the southeast coast for half a year, and as a result, for nearly half a year, shipments of counterfeit money from Venezuela were almost stopped."

"After that, a group of South American mercenaries began to enter the country frequently, and I followed the clues to the town of Margrave."

Jack nodded frequently when he heard this, this is the smart man's approach to make full use of the resources at hand, if it weren't for the fact that the Kleiner family didn't talk about martial arts in the end and directly flipped the table, it was likely that Joey could overturn the entire chain of interests by himself.

"So, you suspect, the origin of these counterfeit notes is Margrave, Georgia."

Joey nodded, "Yes, and I figured out how they made counterfeit bills." ”

"They collected a large number of small banknotes, bleached the ink on them with a special technique, and then reprinted them into the old version of the 100-dollar banknote before the 90s, so that they didn't have to think about the security strip, and they could just do it old."

"Unfortunately, the truck driver who was willing to be a tainted witness to transport counterfeit money to Florida on their behalf was killed while meeting with me."

"And although I have prevented them from obtaining small bills from the retail industry through some means before, I don't know why, they seem to have found a new channel in the past few months."

Hearing this, Jack invited Paul Hudburg's wife, Charlie, to him, "I think she can explain where these new channels are coming from." ”

After seeing the previous chase and the audit just now, and fully understanding the current situation, Charlie no longer concealed it, and told the story that Paul was coerced and forced to cooperate with the Kleiner family to collect small paper bills through the banking industry.

"When you see a man, in front of you, nailed to the wall and castrated, you can only do what they say, Paul was forced, and Kleiner completely ruined our family."

After Charlie said everything, it was already pear blossoms with rain, and tears rippled.

Now everything is connected in series, especially the two Jacks, who tacitly glance at each other, each with a plan in their hearts.

Only Hannah had some questions, starting by asking, "And what does all this have to do with the murder of my parents and the EPA investigator?" ”

Seeing that Joey, who had been talking for a long time, was about to speak, Jack Reicher said for his brother.

"Sewage, cleaning inks will produce a lot of industrial wastewater."

Jack nodded, "Yes, the Kleiner family started with counterfeit money printing in Texas, and the sewage caused the river near your house to be polluted, and they murdered the investigator and your parents, and relocated the factory to Margrave. “

Hannah gritted her teeth and said nothing, her whole body trembled with anger, and Zoe took her into her arms with pity, whispered a few words of reassurance, and then asked.

"So why is there no sewage pollution here, I checked the map, and there is not even a decent river or lake near here."

"Ranch, they purify the sewage." Rose, who had been listening, suddenly realized.

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a follow-up!
