Chapter 1186 Return to Margrave Town (Double Monthly Ticket Request)

"Who said, 'Paying a prostitute isn't for sex, it's to make her leave afterwards'?" Megan, with pale lips, tightly grasped Jack's hand and asked in a trembling voice.

Someone finally came to the hospital with Megan, and after accompanying her through a series of examinations, he stayed by her bedside to prevent her from becoming depressed again. As a result, he stayed by her side all night.

"Uh, Dashiell Hammett?" The question almost stifled Jack.

Dashiell Hammett is a famous American hard-boiled detective novelist who is as famous as Raymond Chandler. The Maltese Falcon, Bloody Harvest and The Thin Man are his three most famous detective novels.

Jack once talked with NYPD Chief Frank Reagan about a famous quote by Raymond Chandler (Chapter 653), but compared to Chandler, he preferred Dashiell Hammett's blunt and sharp satire on the social atmosphere in the United States at that time.

"That doesn't make any sense, does it?" Megan's smile was full of self-mockery and bitterness. "Men are always the first to leave."

Hiss, Jack didn't know how to respond to this, because it would be easy to take the blame if he didn't respond well.

Although he did sympathize with the girl's experience, it was undeniable that a considerable part of it was Megan's own responsibility. There were so many ways to take revenge, but she chose the one that was most harmful to others and herself.

Of course, this is also related to her growing environment. After all, she has been spoiled since childhood, so it is understandable that she would go to extremes when faced with sudden changes.

But there were two reasons why Jack decided to help her.

First of all, Meghan really listened to the advice and let go of Trent Raab, who was quite "innocent" and treated a date with a call girl as a blind date.

The wealthy farmer was in tears in the police station at the time. Despite his lawyer's objections, he explained the entire process of his date with Megan in detail.

Secondly, it is rare that Megan never thought of making things difficult for Catherine Vera, the call girl who caused her mother to be abandoned.

You have to know that women are usually dominated by emotions during the crime process. Basically, once they start killing, it is equivalent to pressing the self-destruct button. Then it is normal that everyone who has offended me must die before I die.

"Major companies in Dallas were hit hard today because of a list that has caused their top executives to fall into an awkward silence."

"A call girl suspected of murdering her client has been identified as the daughter of Andrew Kane, who has been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice."

"The FBI said that due to some unexpected reasons, they took several videos and have now submitted them to the Chief Attorney as evidence."

Today's local morning news is particularly lively. The major media outlets, which had just been in a slump due to the shooting at the parade, are excited again, and all major channels have reported on this explosive news that happened last night.

Jack turned off the TV and turned to look at Megan on the hospital bed. "I have done everything I promised you. Now I hope you can promise me one thing. Live well. You still have a long life ahead of you."

Seeing that he was eager to get away, Megan showed a hint of disappointment on her face, but then she felt relieved and waved at Jack with her free hand.

"I'm sorry to have left such a bad impression on you. Eastern Buddhism believes in the afterlife. If that's true, I hope we can meet again in the next life. I also hope that the situation will be different then."

Large trucks towing shipping containers came towards them and whizzed past. Aubrey, who was driving, subconsciously switched to the slow lane and consciously slowed down.

"Jack, you said before that Margrave is just a remote town. The only thing you remember is that the peach pie and barbecue in the town are pretty good."

"Don't ask me, I really haven't been here for a long time." Jack was also a little confused looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar road in front of him. The last time he and Hannah came here, they drove for 10 minutes without encountering an oncoming car.

Although he knew that Roscoe had done a good job in the local area, judging from the traffic volume on the road in front of him, his previous estimate might have been a bit conservative.

A brand new Chevrolet police car with the logo of the Maggrave Town Police Department on the side of the road followed with its police lights flashing after seeing two Suburbans from the wanted criminal team passing by one after the other.

"Are we in trouble?" Aubrey was confused and thought that it was because he was driving too slowly that he attracted the other party's attention. But the problem was that their Saab class had a federal license plate.

Jack had seen the appearance of the people in the car through the rearview mirror, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard it, "Just a welcome."

Hearing the sirens of the police car behind, the two Subaru cars pulled over. Jack was the first to get out, and two people got out of the police car, one wearing a police uniform and the other a thin and pretty girl with a heroic look.

"Jack!"

"Rosko, long time no see." He bent down and hugged the petite female police officer, uh, now she should be the female mayor.

"Hannah! You're getting more and more beautiful."

"Rosko, you too." The two girls who hadn't seen each other for several years kissed each other on the cheek when they met.

"Agent Tawole, long time no see." Stevenson, wearing a brand new uniform, was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He held Jack's hand tightly with tears in his eyes.

He was the only ordinary police officer who survived the incident in the Margrave Police Station, except for Roscoe and Finlay, the two main characters who were deeply involved.

In the original drama, he and his pregnant wife died at the hands of the perverted little Kleiner, but in this world, his fate was completely changed by Jack.

"You have become the director?" Jack was a little surprised. He still remembered how timid he looked at first.

"Hehe." Stevenson scratched his head embarrassedly, "Roscoe became the mayor, Finlay returned to Boston, and I am the only old man left in the bureau who is familiar with the situation."

It doesn't seem surprising that the local mayor is an elected official and the police chief is appointed by the mayor.

After a brief greeting, Chief Stevenson personally drove a police car in front to lead the way and welcomed the two Suburbans into the town. The ceremony in which the town of Maggrave welcomed the FBI, mainly Jack, was quite grand.

The three cars stopped in front of the fast food restaurant where Jack had eaten peach pie. Just like the town today, except for the name, the place has been renovated and rebuilt on the spot.

Not only did the store look much more grand, but the parking lot was more than doubled in size. A large group of people Jack knew and didn't know were waiting at the door with smiles on their faces. There were also streamers and balloons decorated around the store, making it look like a festival.
