Chapter 455 Christmas and new cases

The Christmas vacation came in a blink of an eye. Because of Emily being targeted, Jack's original vacation travel plan could only be scrapped. Fortunately, he didn't really want to rush to a resort like Hawaii during the regular vacation.

During the May Day and National Day holidays in his previous life, he still remembered the huge crowds of people.

Jack chose to continue making dumplings for everyone this Christmas. After all, as the saying goes, if Christmas dumplings are not dipped in vinegar, Santa Claus will beat the reindeer.

Well, this is just a spoof by netizens in the previous life, but in addition to the traditional roast turkey that doesn’t taste very good no matter how you cook it, a variety of dumplings are indeed appearing more and more on American Christmas On the holiday table.

Jack didn't know whether the Seris people in this world would give each other apples on Christmas Eve, but as long as it was not extreme, diversity was indeed a manifestation of social progress.

In addition to the traditional roast turkey, Jack also made the roasted stuffed capon, pandoro bread and panettone bread that Italians must eat at Christmas, which moved an old Italian man to the point of being moved.

In addition, there are foie gras and steaks from France, large pig trotters and sausages from Germany, beef meatballs from Switzerland, nougat from Spain, and the tree trunk cake with gingerbread men that is essential for Christmas in the United States.

Last year's Christmas was relatively deserted for Jack, and he ended up making dumplings with the old Hunters. In comparison, this year's Christmas was a bit too lively.

Everyone had decided on the location of the Christmas reunion night at his house early. The Wolfe brothers drove their "Mammoth" of the same model and transported the Christmas tree, fake snowmen and various decorations in advance. It took them a whole day. Decorate Jack's house with bright lights.

"I feel it's necessary to buy a bigger house." Jack counted the number of people at the banquet with a headache, and then found that the house, which originally seemed quite big, could not accommodate it.

This Christmas, not only the old LAPD guys like John and Tim will come with their families, but also the members of the BAU team who are also mainly lonely people will also participate, plus the big family of the Wolf brothers, and There was an old Hunter couple with an 80-year-old oil bottle, and the number of people went directly to 30.

Fortunately, there are only three baby babies who can't talk yet, Angela and Wesley's son, the Hotchner family's son, and Braxton and Aaliyah's daughter.

Jack couldn't imagine how lively this big family would be in a year or two, when Tim and Lucy got married and had children, and John brought an old tree to bloom.

"We have a small farm next door for sale, priced at $1.2 million. Maybe you can advance your dividends in the next few years."

Chris still didn't say much, but when he spoke it was very heartbreaking. Jack admitted that his heart was severely moved, but his reason stopped him.

Although he does have a very good relationship with the two brothers now, that's not how favors work. Running a small farm in California, especially near Los Angeles, is basically a game for the rich. He has already lost fifty to sixty thousand dollars a year. It can be said to be well managed.

Jack's current legal income is hundreds of thousands a year. It's not that he can't afford a small farm worth 1.2 million, but he has no time to run it. The cost of hiring workers on Brother Wolfe's farm alone is nearly 200,000 a year. In other aspects, The cost is just a lot more.

Just relying on the output of the small farm, even with the dividends from the trading company, Chris could only maintain a balance of payments on the books, and it was impossible to support a large family.

But the Wolf brothers have plenty of ways to launder gray income. Jack doesn’t have gray income now. He can’t take a road trip when he has no money. Let’s see if he can catch those random horror movies?

It seems that some horror movies are really profitable, especially those that take place in Europe. Jack withdrew his somewhat distant thoughts, but did not reject Chris's proposal. He just said to think about it in case he turned around and really wanted to watch it. You might even make a fortune.

After this particularly lively Christmas, Hotchner's body has basically recovered. Jack got him some deer antlers from Chinatown and taught Mrs. Hotchner, Hallie, how to stew chicken soup with American ginseng for him to drink.

He didn't know the effect, but Harry's complexion was obviously much better.

Like last year, Zoe and Maureen were unable to spend Christmas Eve with Jack, but on Christmas Day, Jack met two beauties who cosplayed as Santa Claus at Zoe's house, and he was confused all day long.

There was another new thing after the year. Jack unexpectedly saw a familiar face from his previous life.

The agent of Red's starlet girlfriend helped her find a bodyguard to take care of her daily travel safety. So at a party, Jack met Liam Neeson, who looked to be in his early 50s.

This made Jack quite nervous for a while, and he began to desperately recall the various "rescues" that this boss had filmed.

Liam Neeson was his favorite action movie actor besides "Gorda Statham" in his previous life. However, after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any movie in which this big shot was someone else's bodyguard.

Since I have watched most of Liam Neeson's famous action movies, Jack, I can't think of a character who looks similar to Red's girlfriend Lila, and I gradually stopped worrying about it. Worry.

After all, there were many things that were more worthy of his worries. As the time came to January, there was still no movement from Emily's old terrorist lover, but everyone in the BAU further increased their alert level at Rossi's request.

Because intelligence came from the CIA, although Ian Doyle also appeared in Europe for a time, he still stayed in Mexico most of the time and was fighting fiercely with several large DU trafficking groups in South America.

According to Rossi's comprehensive intelligence judgment, during this period, Ian Doyle raised at least tens of millions of dollars in funds, some of which were earned by working as mercenaries for DU trafficking groups, and sometimes simply by himself. Ended up selling arms.

Jack once suggested simply taking the initiative to attack, but first of all, Doyle is elusive and elusive. If he misses a hit, it will be enough to alert the enemy. What if he hides secretly again, can Emily hide for the rest of her life?

Think about how many resources were used to dig out this guy and how much price Emily paid.

The second problem lies with the CIA. Nowadays, there are undercurrents among the South American drug trafficking groups, and another large-scale drug war is likely to break out. Both the CIA and DEA departments are paying close attention to every move of these groups.

But they don't want to cause trouble and take the initiative to trigger this war. After all, orderly drug trafficking is a large and stable source of revenue for the CIA.

Some things can only be understood by everyone who understands them. For example, wherever there is oil, mold is likely to breed. On the American continent, as long as you leave the US border, the CIA is found wherever there is drug trafficking.

Overseas drug kingpins are the exclusive domain of the CIA. Without the cooperation of the CIA, it would not be easy for the FBI to do anything in Mexico.

Time is passing by in this slow torment. In recent days, the weather in Los Angeles has also become harsh, and a historic rain, snow and storm disaster is taking place here.

Since January, northern California has been hit by winter storms one after another. In some areas, the amount of rainfall in the past three weeks is even equivalent to the rainfall in a whole year under normal circumstances.

Disasters such as floods, tornadoes, mudslides and landslides occur frequently, causing the already fragile local infrastructure to be overwhelmed, and large-scale power outages often occur.

Ventura County, north of Los Angeles, is quite troubled. It just experienced a large-scale wildfire last year and became the hardest-hit area again this year. Some areas were completely destroyed by mudslides and landslides.

While the public was still paying attention to the president's just-declared state of emergency in California, a new case was put on the desks of the BAU team.

"Just last night, two homes caught fire in Orange County, and both families were killed." Jiejie posted two sets of photos on the screen.

Come and get some monthly votes, I fell out of the monthly vote list, 嘤嘤嘤~~~
