Chapter 796 Gabriel’s Coach
Gabriel on the other side of the phone fell silent for a moment, and Jack took the opportunity to approach him, "I feel like people of our age rarely quote the words of ancient Roman philosophers.
I did it because of my writing needs. How did you know about Marcus Aurelius? Have you read "Meditations"? "
"I have a good coach." Gabriel's voice was bitter, "We have nothing to say."
"Wait a minute, Gabriel, please leave your contact information anonymously." Feeling that his attitude had softened a lot, Jack made a request.
"I know any updates on the investigation can be sent to you and you can see what the toll is going to be on those people."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, so long that everyone who was listening thought he was about to hang up, and then Gabriel's voice came again, "Okay, but don't expect to convince me to surrender in this way.
Do you know the website ‘Sudoku Storm’? There is a message board on it, you can leave a message there if you need to contact me. "
"Okay, then I will leave a message using the pseudonym John Wigger, and then you can still call me on this number."
The phone was hung up before Jack finished speaking. Hannah shook her head at him, "The triangulated cell phone signal is in the city center. Although the phone number was found, it was obviously an anonymous cell phone. It has been turned off now, Alice. The purchase record of this mobile phone is being traced.”
"If you find it, send it to me. I'll follow up on the follow-up investigation. Maybe I'll find something unexpected." Clay seemed to want to treat a dead horse as a live doctor. Tomorrow night, he would be driven back to New York by Jubal.
"I'll go with you and bring some fresh ingredients to Jack." Hannah was very motivated.
"Well done, Jack. It only took a few words to gain a certain amount of his trust. Now we should figure out how to set a trap for him to fall into his own trap."
Jubal gave a thumbs up, and he could naturally guess why Jack asked Gabriel to leave his contact information.
Jack showed a slightly conceited smile, but compared to the aunt who could get a man to spend 180,000 for her in just three words, his level of deception was obviously not that good.
"It's too early to do this now. We don't know much about Gabriel. Apart from being lonely and self-disciplined, we don't even know that he also likes Sudoku. Rhett may have a common language with him."
After Jack finished complaining, he picked up Gabriel's information on the table and flipped through it again. His mother died young and his father was a long-distance truck driver who later became an alcoholic who drank all day long. Why would a child who grew up in such a family become a What about being a police officer?
"Jiejie, call Gabriel's ex-girlfriend Alisa Pena again. Gabriel said he has a good coach and ask her if she knows anything." Jack ordered.
"OK."
——
In the evening, Jack set up the grill as usual, and large pieces of steak were sizzling in the pan, along with skewers of chicken wings and lamb cubes that Hannah and Clay had just bought from the city center.
"Gabriel's alcoholic father bought the anonymous mobile phones. He bought four of them in total, but he was indifferent to everything we said. He didn't even care that his son killed someone."
Hannah's parents died young, but in her childhood memories, the word "parents" has become a symbol of love. Later, she was also well protected in the Anderson family, so it is difficult to imagine how those irresponsible parents could treat My own children are so indifferent.
"He did not deny that he bought four anonymous mobile phones for Gabriel. I also found two bottles of high-end vodka in his refrigerator. He called them gifts before his son left. I think they were to help buy mobile phones. "
Clay also felt the same. Although his relationship with his father was not very good, it was difficult to understand this pair of father and son with completely different personalities and the relationship between them that had almost no affection at all.
At this time, Jack poured a little white wine into the pot. The aroma of wine and meat overflowed for a while, and Aubrey's Adam's apple, who was waiting aside, visibly rolled up and down.
"We have not found any alcoholic beverages in Gabriel's house before. He and his father are simply two completely different worlds."
Jubal sighed, "I know Gabriel may be an extreme case, but even my two daughters who live with their mother can occasionally see some similarities in their behavior with mine. ”
Jiejie walked to Jack holding a dinner plate, "Maybe he learned something from other people. When you were visiting an alcoholic father, I contacted Alisa Pena and got a message from her. Name, Ray Higgins, a long-retired police sergeant.”
As she spoke, she ignored Aubrey's pitiful look and took out the first piece of steak that Jack had fried from the pan, "Sorry Aubrey, we have to rush to Worcester later."
"Actually, my skill at frying steak is pretty good. You can try it later." Clay smiled and patted Aubrey on the shoulder to comfort him.
Jack finally gave this guy a few skewers, and then he and Jie Jie had dinner in advance, and the two got in the car and rushed to Worcester.
Jiejie flipped through her phone for a while, with a smile on her face, "Alice sent the information about Ray Higgins. She still remembers that the Newark Police Department was investigating Gabriel's statement that the police did not commit suicide during the raid. Did all the witnesses commit perjury when reporting their identities?
In fact, he did have supporters at the time. Sheriff Ray Higgins sent a letter of support to the Newark Police Department afterwards, trying to vouch for Gabriel's character. "So, this retired sheriff is indeed very likely to be the good coach that Gabriel mentioned? Do you think he is hiding in his good coach's home?" Jack said as he turned the steering wheel and turned into a forest path. Jiejie frowned and looked through the information on her phone. After a long time, she shook her head hesitantly, "It seems unlikely. Sheriff Higgins has been retired for more than ten years. From the communication records, he has not had much contact with Gabriel in recent years. And since we have already called him in advance, even if Gabriel was hiding in his house before, he should have run away now, right?" Jack slowed down the car and stuck his head out of the window to observe the road conditions. It should have rained a little in the forest last night. The ruts on the path were very obvious, and it was obvious that only one car had entered and exited. "Then don't wear a bulletproof vest, let's look more friendly. "However, Jack was still cautious. He stopped the car and checked his gun without showing any expression.
