Chapter 181 Revenge

Chapter 181 Revenge

Compared to the thick stack of printed materials brought by Joey's beautiful female Secret Service administrator Molly Beth Gordon, Reacher and Rosko carried back an entire large wooden box from the barber shop.

After opening the box with the key found in the gun box, everyone, led by Dana and Chris, devoted themselves to sorting out the information.

Why are Dana and Chris the main ones? Because most of them are copies of tax returns from the Kleiner Foundation, detailing almost every transaction.

"The foundation has a large amount of money flowing into Kleiner Industries and other businesses and community groups in the town of Margrave. They actually buy everything around here, including people's hearts, with counterfeit money."

It took less than an hour for Chris to come to a conclusion.

Supervisor Ray King, who arrived in Atlanta this morning, took off his reading glasses and pinched his eyebrows.

“It also means that even if we have enough evidence, this will be a long legal battle and almost no one in this town will be on our side and will instead see us as the culprits in destroying their happy lives. "

Jack said, "As long as Kleiner smuggles the remaining counterfeit money out of the country, then burns down the factory and replaces it with convenient transportation, the same sleepy town can resume its old business."

He had made up his mind early on to flip the table and let the authorities wipe his ass. The FBI's cleanup operation against the ogres in New Mexico opened the door to a new world for him.

Seeing this kid looking at him with stern eyes, Ray Jin certainly knew what he was thinking, "I need a reasonable reason, otherwise I can't endorse your private raid."

Jack snapped his fingers and took the information handed over by Zoe.

"This is an investigative report. Detective Finlay said that he had a friend in the FBI who once advised him not to come to Margrave. This sentence made me have some associations, so I asked Zoe to do it through her relationship. Did some investigation.”

"Not long after Hannah's parents were killed, an Environmental Protection Agency investigator died unexpectedly. An FBI named Pickard was assigned to investigate and the case was hastily closed. The conclusion was that it was manslaughter caused by burglary."

Hannah continued, "According to Joey's investigation, the person who carried out the attack was a well-known local professional killer, nicknamed 'Viking'."

"Coincidentally, we just learned the name of his FBI friend, Pickard, from Detective Finlay. He happened to be in the FBI office in Austin ten years ago, and now he is based in the Atlanta office."

"What's even more coincidental is that his partner was a 'Viking' about the same size as Reacher. Unfortunately, he died of cancer three years ago."

"Is your FBI salary too low? Why do you either work part-time as a professional killer or collude with the counterfeit money group? Why don't you and Jack come to our IRS as investigators?"

Ray King dug in half-jokingly.

Hannah glanced at Jack. She was not short of money, but she joined the FBI mainly to avenge her parents. Now that she has seen revenge, the FBI is no longer so attractive to her.

If Jack is willing, it won't make much difference to her whether to stay in the FBI or go to the IRS. Of course Jack is not willing. Going to the IRS to check taxes will not have as much experience as going to the BAU to solve crimes.

He knocked on the table to signal everyone to listen to the key points.

"This information is enough to give the IRS reason to block the local FBI office, and if it goes through the process of calling FBI support elsewhere, there may not be enough time."

The IRS does not have an independent armed force as boasted on the Internet in its previous life. When investigators go out to conduct tax inspections, it is best to carry a pistol with them. When they need to use force, they basically request the assistance of the FBI. Instead, it is the FBI offices in various states. Each has its own SWAT team.

The real cool thing about the IRS is that it has its own independent tax courts and jails.

As an old fox who has matured in age, Lei Jin certainly knows what this kid is planning. It is nothing more than paving the way for various reasons so that he can lead the group of people in front of him to avenge himself.

He pondered for a moment and raised a small question, "What is your reason for raiding the Kleiner family? I can directly bypass the local FBI office and communicate with their superiors. A SWAT team will arrive in two days at most. Atlanta."

"This evidence is enough to apply for a search warrant to conduct a raid on Kleiner Industries. It is impossible for me to order a detective from the local police department to bring an LAPD officer who is on leave on the grounds that the other party intends to destroy evidence. A person who cannot be exposed The FBI and even a few civilians rushed in and killed them."

Jack was already confident, "Kidnapping, we need to rescue the hostages."

Ray King was stunned, "Who did the Kleiner family kidnap?"

"The wives and daughters of Paul Hebaugh's family. Charlie Hebaugh took his two daughters and hid in his cousin Stevenson's house. In order to force Paul to show up, several South American killers infiltrated Stevenson's house tonight. , kidnapped them in front of Detective Finley."

"In order to rescue the hostages, Detective Finlay led the elite police officers of the local police station and several good citizens who were passing by, and followed the murderer to the factory of Kleiner Industries. As a result, he happened to find a large amount of counterfeit banknotes and the equipment used to make counterfeit banknotes. Full range of materials and equipment.”

After Jack finished speaking, he thought about it again and found that he had a talent for writing scripts.

Ray King almost lost his temper, "So, who are the mother and daughter who live in the next room and are protected by the old police detectives?"

Jack looked around with an innocent face, "Do you know the old couple next door who are traveling with their granddaughter?"

Everyone around shook their heads, and the thin-skinned people like Dana raised their heads to admire the beautiful scenery on the ceiling to avoid laughing.

Ray King rolled his eyes for a long time, and finally resisted the urge to curse.

"If you can guarantee that no principal culprit will come to court, I can turn a blind eye to all this. Because of the traitor issue, the FBI will also expect to close the case quickly. As for the Secret Service."

Everyone had a smile that everyone understood.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ray King got up and left the room, and went next door to keep company with an unknown old couple who were traveling with their granddaughters. Jack began to assign tasks to everyone.

"As long as there are no accidents on Fenley's side, we will take action tonight. In order to avoid being noticed by the other party, we need to sneak in in batches before dark."

"Everyone is divided into three groups. One group is ambushing near Stevenson's house, the other group is monitoring the movements of the factory set up by the Kleiner family on the ranch, and the last group is responsible for protecting the safety of the Heborg family. After everything is over , we need them on the scene.”

At this point Jack paused and looked at the other Jack Reacher, "Is there any way to find Paul Heborg? We need him to provide the internal layout of the factory. We may not have time to force out this information."

Reacher looked at the time and nodded confidently, "I will bring him before dark. Chasing fugitives is my strength."

At this time, Jack's cell phone suddenly rang. When he opened it, it was a message from Justin. Jack had asked her to investigate two things before, one was the whereabouts of Paul Heborg, and the other was related to the death of Roscoe's adoptive father Gray. information.

Paul hid well, did not use credit cards, and did not drive by himself. Justin had no choice but to send some of his background information for reference.

Reacher just casually flipped through the information, checked the electronic map on his mobile phone, and said confidently, "He is hiding in Augusta."

Everyone cast doubtful glances. Is this so rash?

"Paul is not a bad person. In his logic, he just goes out to hide in the limelight and will not be too far away from his family. Once Kleiner threatens him with his family, he must be able to ensure that he appears in time."

As he spoke, he drew a circle on the map with his finger, "Atlanta is a big city, and he will be very uncomfortable, feeling that Kleiner's spies are everywhere; Athens County, where the University of Georgia is located, is the first place anyone would think of going. Find him."

"Remember when he was in prison and wanted to listen to "Rocky Coon" that his mother sang when she was a child? He habitually finds a comfort zone for himself. According to the information, he likes to play golf and has played competitions at Augusta National. Great memories were made there.”

It's a ridiculous reasoning, but it seems to make some sense.

Braxton, who had remained silent, questioned unconvincedly, "But even if you know that he is hiding in Augusta, how do you know where he is hiding?"

Reacher showed a mysterious smile, "He doesn't dare to use a credit card or reveal his identity. He can only stay in cheap motels that charge by the hour and look for them around long-distance bus stops."

Everyone was silent for a moment. Jack coughed lightly, hoping that this protagonist's aura would work, and then he looked at Roscoe.

"One more thing, Justin hacked into the coroner's office database and helped find the autopsy photos of your adoptive father Gray. Do you remember that he had a wound on his head?"

Rosko's breathing suddenly became rapid, "The coroner said that he might have accidentally fallen before hanging himself, because the wound was not fatal. Did you find any evidence that he was murdered?"

Ever since she discovered that her adoptive father was investigating Kleiner Industries before his death, Roscoe began to suspect that the cause of his adoptive father's death was not suicide.

Jack showed her an enlarged photo of the wound, "This is Justin's enlarged image. You can clearly see the diamond-shaped impact marks on it."

Rosko stood up suddenly, "It's that fat pig from Tiller. His cane is inlaid with a diamond-shaped artificial moissanite. He has long been in collusion with the Kleiner family. It was he who killed Gray." , and then disguised it as suicide."

Seeing that the girl was getting excited again, Lei Che quickly hugged her into his arms.

"My suggestion is that you and Rachel go to find Paul together. On the way back, you can pass by the house of the respected mayor and police chief. After all, the bodies of people who colluded with the Kleiner family appeared when they were making counterfeit banknotes. It’s very reasonable in the factory, right?”

After giving the advice, Jack nodded to Braxton, who pulled out a P14 with an Osprey silencer from his waist and handed it to Reacher.
