Chapter 832: Clueless and Gravy Biscuits (Happy Holidays to All the Children)
We ate burgers with Coca-Cola, and everyone helped flip through the files. By 10 o'clock in the evening, everyone couldn't bear it anymore.
Jiejie put the pile she had on the bar back and rubbed her sore eyebrows, "Why do I feel like the Sheriff has issued an arrest warrant for everyone here?"
Clay suppressed his laughter and also put the file in his hand back on the bar, "So far, the worst case I have seen was a sexual assault case. The kid who committed the crime was turned over and sat down by a 200-pound female victim and suffered internal injuries. In addition to the fracture, I stayed in the hospital for two months.
I don't think a guy like that would have much animosity toward the assistant DAs prosecuting him. "
Jack expressed his opinion succinctly, "I have the illusion that I am in Florida."
Jubal stood up and motioned for everyone to disperse, "I hope you don't mind too much about the terrible environment of the motel next to us, and go get some rest early.
These case files should be gone. Alice will call the Little Rock office tomorrow morning. They have announced the hotline number on the local news station. Maybe there will be some clues then. "
Early the next morning, everyone got up on time, and the men gathered in the parking lot chatting while waiting for the women who needed to dress up.
Unlike Jack, who only needed a few hours of deep sleep to fully recover, and Clay, who had military experience and could turn a deaf ear to certain discordant noises and still sleep soundly, Aubrey and Jubal's expressions were a little different. .
Several rooms with relatively good locations were given over to the girls by the men in a graceful manner, so the three ladies who walked out of the room were still so radiant.
Every time you go to a place, you have to adapt to the customs of that place. Federal agents wearing suits and ties in southern states are obviously not very popular, so neither the men nor ladies present are wearing formal clothes.
The temperature during the day is still a bit hot. Except for Jubal, who is wearing a thin jacket, everyone else basically wears a T-shirt and jeans. When needed, an extra sweatshirt can cover the gun on the waist.
"As you wish." Alice shook the mobile phone in her left hand at Jubal with a bright smile. Although the flu has been raging recently, her condition is surprisingly good.
The insomnia, anxiety, and various irregularities in the past have magically disappeared. Now if this single mother with excellent complexion appears again in the combat center of the Federal Building in New York, all the otakus will become stupid. of fossils.
"There are clues on the hotline. An anonymous call came in half an hour ago. The woman on the other side of the phone who did not want to be named told the detective on duty that she heard two Latino gang guys bragging about her. They killed the bastard who sent their boss to jail."
"It sounds like it's related to our case. Do you have the location information of the caller?" Jubal's brows relaxed slightly, but he tightened them again after catching a glimpse of Aubrey, who was looking at Alice and was drooling.
"The call came from a restaurant called 'Haer's Hygienic Restaurant.'" After Alice finished speaking, she started to look up the specific address on her phone.
Jack poked Aubrey, who was still in a daze, in a funny way. Although he really didn't mind the appearance of a second office couple in the group, he didn't want the two of them to get too involved before this guy really settled down.
Having an extra couple in the group can indeed help attract some firepower, so that he won't always be taken advantage of by others, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if they broke up? The harmonious atmosphere in the wanted criminal group is quite good at present, and there is no need for extraneous matters.
"It sounds like this restaurant is a good choice for our breakfast today. I hope it's as hygienic as its owner claims, and I hope it's not too far away. I'm already so hungry." Jack threw away the car keys in his hand. , inviting everyone to get on the bus.
"This place is so small, no matter how far it is, it's not far away." Alice raised her phone, raised her thin eyebrows slightly, and inadvertently revealed the unique style of a mature woman, once again making her ready to drive an SUV. Aubrey was dumbfounded.
"20 yuan, how about I drive the car and let you and Alice share a car?" Hannah approached him and whispered in a low voice.
"Huh?" Before Aubrey could react, he met Jubal's rather unkind gaze. It was obvious that he had the same idea as Jack.
Seeing this guy running to another car in despair, Jiejie smiled ambiguously, hugged Alice who was still a little confused and got into the SUV driven by Jack.
A small episode ended here. Just as Alice said, the advantage of a small place is that you can go anywhere with just one step of the accelerator. In less than 20 minutes, two SUVs parked in the parking lot in front of a roadside restaurant. middle.
Like most roadside restaurants, "Hal's Hygienic Restaurant" is located in an L-shaped row house built at a three-way intersection, sharing the same building with the small supermarket next to it.
The iron signboard light box with red background and white letters high on the roof looked old. Although it was old, it was not dilapidated. Jack pushed the door open and walked in. The copper bell hanging on the door made a crisp sound. He was pouring coffee for the guests at the bar. The waitress followed the sound and looked at the group of seven people.
Although the wanted criminal team members were dressed like tourists, such a group of handsome men and beautiful women was still a bit eye-catching. The restaurant's business was quite good, and more than half of the seats were filled with customers having breakfast.
Under the slightly scrutinizing gazes of the surrounding customers, Jack showed eight white teeth, smiled and said hello to the fat waitress.
"Hello, please help us find a quiet place for a chat."
The plump waitress was slightly distracted by someone's business smile. It took her a while to react and quickly pointed to an empty seat in the corner.
"Oh, of course, I just cleaned it there. Just put two tables together."
"OK, thank you, we can do it ourselves." Jack kept smiling and took the menu that the other party handed over subconsciously.
"Dear, can you help introduce your specialties here?"
"Our gravy biscuit here is the best in the whole Forrest. My husband, uh, Hal, made a unique sauce with pepper and Mexican tomatoes." The waitress followed behind everyone and introduced attentively.
Biscuit is a kind of bread that spread throughout the federation from the South of the United States. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, between bread and cake. The method is somewhat similar to British scones.
Because it is not big, you can easily finish one in two or three bites. It is also called quick bread. The way of eating it with pork sausage sauce originated in the South after the War of Independence.
At that time, the southern region of the United States was mainly a plantation economy. This high-salt, high-sugar, high-calorie and economical breakfast was the favorite of plantation workers before starting a hard day's work.
Although now you can eat gravy biscuits of various flavors on tables all over the country, since you are in the southern state, how can you not taste this special food from its birthplace.
"Then give each of us a portion first, oh, and coffee, of course. You can see that everyone is starving, let them order the rest slowly."
The waitress helped everyone put the table together and walked happily to the kitchen behind the bar. Others looked at Jack's performance with amusement, and Jubal shook his head slightly to express his speechlessness.
