Think about the old guys behind him mentioned on the night before the decisive battle (chapter 179) when old Hunter expressed his support for himself in the hotel when everyone helped Hannah avenge the revenge together.

Jack always felt that there might be more surprises or frightens waiting for him in the future.

Sighing secretly in his heart, he nodded and promised, "I can try to work hard." ”

This was not his deliberate modesty or prevarication, there were only a few people in Jack's pocket now, and he had to make a few phone calls first.

After opening a room for himself next to the old Hunters' room, Jack lay on the couch and called Angela's rich second-generation husband Wesley.

This son, who has a law firm at home, is one of the few "idealistic" people among these friends Jack knows.

Not only does he not intend to inherit his father's law firm, but he has also been committed to providing legal help to the underprivileged and disadvantaged.

Although there are still some idealistic problems, since marrying Sister Angela Lopez, I look at those street DU vendors who deal with my wife every day, and this problem has improved a lot.

But he is still sticking to his career of fighting lawsuits for the poor and disadvantaged, which is quite a bit of a volunteer lawyer.

It's a pity that he is neither blind nor super hearing, and there is no "Hell's Kitchen" in Los Angeles, otherwise Jack would really have to wonder if this guy has anything to do with "Daredevil".

After telling Wesley the ins and outs on the phone, the boy was really interested, and promised to finish the matter at hand today and take the earliest flight to New York tomorrow.

Jack hung up the phone, thought about it, and called Taylor Kelly again.

He was a little entangled in this call, and the live broadcast report of him and Jiejie on a desert island last time also made the beautiful host of Los Angeles Channel 8 famous, and he gained a lot in his career, which is a win-win situation in a sense.

But from a friend's point of view, he owes the other party a favor from a boss, and he has never had a chance to repay it.

Although Taylor Kelly's half-joking hints are fine, Jack can only pretend not to understand the strange relationship between her and Hannah.

Fortunately, this time it was not too troublesome for the other party, Jack just tentatively asked Taylor Kelly if he knew any reporter friends who were more honest and dared to expose some insider stories in New York.

Taylor Kelly is now the new darling of California's media scene, and her live coverage of Trail Blazer Airlines Flight 119 earned her the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in May.

Networking is crucial for a media industry practitioner, so after listening to Jack's ins and outs, Taylor easily found a suitable candidate to recommend to Jack from a large pile of business cards.

Angel Duprey is a photojournalist and investigative journalist who worked for the New York Post for two decades.

"You're not kidding, are you? Is this African-American in his 40s named Angel? Jack asked, skeptically.

Taylor laughed on the phone, "No kidding, his name is really Angel, he is definitely an honest investigative journalist, he was shot three times for reporting on the Hudson River water pollution incident, but he still did not back down after recovering." ”

"Thank you very much, Taylor, and when I get back to Los Angeles, I'll invite you to 'The Little Door' for foie gras." Jack wrote down the contact information of the reporter named Angel and thanked him repeatedly.

"Are you sure?" Taylor's voice was suddenly sticky, with a little clip sound.

"The Little Door" is a French restaurant that, in addition to foie gras, has been voted the number one romantic restaurant in Los Angeles for its unique décor.

"With Hannah." Jack added a sentence of smugness.

"Humph!" Taylor snorted and hung up the phone.

Jack then called Justin and asked her to help him gather some information about Mara Grayson on the Internet.

Then he went back to the next room and gave the three old people a "reassurance", although he didn't have a specific plan, but he already had a little more confidence.

In the evening, he made an appointment with Angel Duprey and told the investigative reporter what happened to Joe Masson, although the true identity of a retired CIA was certainly kept secret.

This black reporter in his 40s is indeed a good person, and he promised to investigate first, reply to the three old people as soon as possible, and was very relieved when he left.

The next morning, as soon as Jack picked up Wesley from the airport, he received a call from Duprey asking them to attend a court session.

Dupree invited Jack to attend a custody lawsuit in Putnam County Family Court today over custody of a man accusing Mara Grayson of illegally stripping his mother of custody.

No one expected the black journalist to be so efficient, but given that all three old men had gone to court against Mara Grayson.

In order to avoid arousing the other party's vigilance, the bald Frank and the old Hunters must not be involved, and Jack takes Wesley to the Putnam County District Court to meet with Dupree.

In New York State alone, there are magistrates' courts that deal with speeding and petty theft, and family courts that deal with the assignment of custody.

Some states or counties have separate juvenile courts, bankruptcy courts, and so on.

There is even a traffic court that pulls out speeding violations separately for trial, etc., Jack often watched videos of an Internet celebrity old judge dealing with some traffic violations at a small broken station in his previous life, which is quite interesting.

These specialized, small courtrooms often have no jury, often no lawyer, and are simple, efficient, and inexpensive, with verdicts all down to the judge's hammer.

Similarly, these small courtrooms can go in at will, as long as it is not related to privacy, and the parties refuse to observe, whether it is a reporter or an ordinary person, they can directly push the door in and find a place to sit down.

Of course, entering the courthouse requires a security check and the presentation of documents.

In order to avoid unwarranted speculation, Jack did not show his FBI ID, but only showed his driver's license, and his Glock pistol was given to Aunt Dee Dee in advance for safekeeping.

Although it is only a court of first instance, it is a simple process, whether it is the atmosphere or order, it is still serious and orderly, and observers are also prohibited from bringing any electronic devices with the function of taking pictures and recordings, including mobile phones.

Entering the courtroom numbered L, Jack immediately recognized Mara Grayson sitting in the dock, after all, the actress who played this role in the original play is quite famous.

She is the only British beauty Pei Chunhua in Hollywood who has an "orthodox" Chinese name and does not have any Chinese mixed race.
