Chapter 389 Two weddings and a new case (come and vote)

In the following weeks, Jack attended two weddings one after another, one for John and Grace, and one for Braxton and Aaliyah.

The latter scene was purely a blooper because Aaliyah was unexpectedly pregnant.

Chris, the uncle-to-be, was even more nervous than Braxton, the father-to-be. The latter just wanted to wait until Aaliyah gave birth before holding the wedding. The next second, his own brother put a gun to his head.

For this reason, Jack was specially asked by the brothers to fly to Wyoming and pick up two old Indians from the Wind River Valley, Aaliyah's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen.

Aaliyah's body gradually returned to health after meeting Jack and under his care. I don't know if it was because of her previous physical deficit. Her early pregnancy reaction was particularly severe, and she would vomit frequently.

Although Jack made a special trip after learning the news and not only performed a therapy session but also prepared a diet list suitable for pregnant women, Braxton was like a frightened bird and did not dare to leave Aaliyah for even half a step. .

As a last resort, a certain person had to make a trip to pick up the two old people. He then helped prepare the wedding banquet non-stop. He also served as the wedding chef and the best man of the bride. He was so busy that he almost doubted his life.

In fact, he was busy secondly, mainly because there were too many girls around him, and the issue of female companions for the wedding had troubled him for a long time.

Fortunately, the two weddings almost happened one after another. After he expressed his apology tactfully many times, Hannah and Jiejie finally decided to let him go and took turns being female companions, which resolved the crisis.

However, when he thinks about the wedding of Zoe and Maureen in August, Jack is really worried. He is really afraid that there will be a scene when the time comes. In ancient times, five horses divided the body, but now four women divide Jack.

The reason for Hotchner's previous over-sensitivity was also found to be the sequelae of his wife Hallie's previous postpartum depression.

Although the couple cooperated very well with Maureen's psychological treatment, the objective conditions that could not be changed for the time being made their relationship deteriorate again.

Even though Rosie and Jack had tried their best to share a lot of work with Hotchner before and avoid making him work overtime frequently, as long as there were new cases or serial killers in prisons in other states offered to participate in psychological research projects, then Traveling is unavoidable.

This caused Hallie, who often had to take care of her baby alone at home, to be on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

But unexpectedly, this seemingly unsolvable household chore was solved by a wedding. Hallie, who was invited to the farm with Hotchner to attend the wedding, unexpectedly became the parenting consultant for the expectant mother Aaliyah.

It seems that the environment around the farm is particularly suitable for little despicable people. Harley, who has attended a large gathering before, really likes to visit the farm of Brother Wolfe's family.

The Wolfe family, which had no parenting experience at all, especially welcomed Harley's arrival. Finally one day, Hotchner simply sold the property in Virginia with the help of Rosie and moved to a new home not far from the San Fernando Valley. Purchased a set in a middle-class community.

It only takes less than half an hour to drive from this community to the farm.

The Wolf brothers also specially prepared a room for Hallie in their large villa. Whenever Hotchner went on a business trip, Hallie would take the children there to stay for a few days.

The conflict between the couple was eliminated, and Hotchner's poker face was about to become a part of everyone's memories.

Having just finished two weddings, Jack finally had time to cash in on the "Irish coffee" Rosie promised to Garcia.

Of course, considering the tastes of Europeans and Americans, he did not really use Moutai as the base liquor and mix it with a cup of Maotai-flavored milk coffee, and he heard that it was "illegal" to do so.

Jack also made a milk tea flavor, heating cold-brewed black tea and low-alcohol semi-sweet rice wine one by one. During this period, he added plums, yellow rock sugar, and cinnamon sticks. When the rock sugar melted and stopped, he sprinkled in a small spoonful of dried osmanthus and placed it. Serve warm.

He had tasted it before and it tasted good. Of course, for him, it would be even better if he removed the black tea and added some shredded ginger, paired with two pairs of hairy crabs and a bowl of vinegar.

Satisfied, Garcia entered the elevator holding the big glass jug. The scent of osmanthus still filled the air. Rossi walked out of another elevator holding a large stack of copy paper, nostrils twitching.

"Do we have a new case?" Hotchner just walked out of his office, met Rossi, and asked casually.

"Not sure yet, it was sent from the local office in Denver." Rosie said and placed the large pile of copy paper on Jack's desk, took a sip of the black tea with spices that Jack was going to keep for himself. .

"A female drink with a very peculiar taste." He raised his eyebrows and continued.

"These items came from an abandoned warehouse. One detective found them very suspicious and hoped I could confirm them."

Hotchner asked confused, "Is that agent your friend?"

Rosie shrugged, with a proud look on his face, "No, it's just that she knows me, you know."

"Oh, book fans." Hotchner flattered him knowingly, "You must have a lot of fans, right?"

"Absolutely beyond your imagination." Rossi accepted it unceremoniously.

While the two were chatting, Jack had already taken out a few pages from Rosie's hand, and the contents above made him whistle involuntarily.

"The FBI still cares about this?"

The few pages of copy paper he got contained only a few simple sketches, which showed the graceful figure of a woman and a rather imaginative rope binding method.

As their former neighbors, this erotic art originating from an eastern island country was naturally extremely familiar to them.

"We don't care about this, but we take care of this."

Rosie said as he handed over several other pieces of paper. Jack quickly flipped through the contents, and his expression gradually became serious.

There were long descriptions of torture, as well as more cruel sketches, which reminded him of the pervert in Montana.

He once thought that the Francis Goering who played with the Pear of Pain (Chapter 250) he met in Montana was perverted enough, but this one seemed to be even worse.

Rhett poked his head out from behind him at some point, nodded seriously and analyzed, "The content is described in the future tense, which seems closer to fantasy."

Rossi nodded equally, "But the agent doesn't think it's that simple."

"So there is more information?" Hotchner understood.

"Yes, there are still several boxes at her place. I want to drive over and have a look. Then I will make a judgment. If it is confirmed that there are victims, I will call you."

Hotchner agreed, but the next sentence made Rossi look bitter, "Take Rhett with you, he is proficient in data analysis."

"Road trip? That's great. I just bought the electronic reading version of "Foundation Trilogy"." Rhett was so excited that he almost stuck out his tongue and turned around to get his business bag.

"Cough!" Seeing Rosie's pleading look, Jack could only cough. His mind was racing and he thought of a reason in an instant.

"Why don't you let me go with them? That way I don't have to borrow a car and can just drive my newly bought F150. I've been too busy recently and don't have time to drive it. I just want to let the new car run in."
