Chapter 1186 Return to Margrave Town (double monthly ticket request)

"Who said, 'Paying a girl is not for sex, but to make her leave afterwards'?" Megan, whose lips were bloodless, held Jack's hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

After all, someone came to the hospital with him. After completing a series of examinations with Megan, he still stayed by the bedside to prevent her from thinking too hard again. As a result, this stay lasted all night.

"Uh, Dashiell Hammett?" Jack almost missed the question.

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

Jack once talked to NYPD Commissioner Frank Regan about a certain quote by Raymond Chandler (Chapter 653), but he preferred Dashiell Hammy to Chandler. It is an unabashed satire on the American social atmosphere at that time.

"That makes no sense at all, doesn't it?" Megan's smile was full of self-deprecation and bitterness, "Men are always the first to leave."

Hiss, Jack doesn't know how to answer this, because it's easy to take over if he doesn't answer 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 obviously 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 the environment in which she grew up. After all, she has been pampered since she was a child, and it is not incomprehensible that she would go to extremes due to sudden drastic changes.

But there were two reasons that really made Jack decide to help her.

First of all, Meghan really listened to the advice and let go of the rather "innocent" Trant Raab, who regarded dating a call girl as a blind date.

The rich farmer burst into tears in the police station at the time, and despite the obstruction of his lawyer, he clearly explained the entire dating process between him and Meghan.

Secondly, it is rare that Meghan never thought of embarrassing the call girl Catherine Vera who caused her mother to be abandoned.

You must know that women are usually led by emotion during the crime process. Basically, once they commit suicide, it is equivalent to pressing the self-destruct button. It is normal for everyone who has offended me to die before I die.

"Major companies in Dallas were hit hard today as their executives fell into embarrassing silence after the discovery of a list."

"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 stated that due to some unexpected reasons, they took several videos and have now submitted them to the chief prosecutor as evidence."

Today's local morning news was particularly lively. The major media outlets, which had been depressed due to the parade shooting incident, became excited again. All major channels invariably reported the 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, so now I hope you promise me one thing. Live well. Your life is still long."

Seeing that he was eager to get away, Megan showed a hint of disappointment on her face, but then she was relieved and waved to Jack with her hand that was not cuffed.

"I'm sorry that I gave you such a bad impression. Eastern Buddhism has a saying about the afterlife. If that is true, I hope we can see each other again in the next life, and I hope the situation will be different then."

Large trucks dragging containers came and roared past. Aubrey, who was driving, subconsciously switched to the slow lane and consciously slowed down.

"Jack, you said before that Margrave Town is just a remote town. The only thing that impressed you was that the peach pie and barbecue in the town were 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 but unfamiliar road in front of him. It was clear that the last time he and Hannah came here, it took 10 minutes to drive. Can't hit an oncoming car.

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

On the side of the road, a brand new Chevrolet police car with the logo of the Margrave Town Police Department was painted. After seeing two Saberbans from the wanted criminal team passing one after another, it followed behind with its police lights flashing.

"Are we in trouble?" Aubrey didn't know why. He thought it was because he was driving too slowly just now and attracted the other party's attention. But the problem was that their Saber had a federal license plate.

Jack had already seen the appearance of the person in the car clearly in the rearview mirror, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "It's just a welcome."

Hearing the siren of the police car behind him, both Saber cars pulled over and parked. Jack was the first to get out of the car, and two people got out of the police car. One was wearing a police uniform, and the other was a slightly thin man with a gap between his eyebrows. A charming little beauty.

"Jack!"

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

"Hannah! You are getting more and more beautiful."

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

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

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

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

"You have become the chief?" Jack was a little surprised. He still remembered the cowardly look of this man at the beginning.

"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."

The local mayor is an elected official, and the police chief is appointed by the mayor, so it doesn't seem strange.

After a simple greeting, Stevenson, the chief, personally drove a police car in front to lead the way and welcomed two Subaru vehicles into the town. The ceremony for Margrave Town to welcome a group of FBIs, of course 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, it looked like it had been renovated and rebuilt on the spot.

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