Chapter 973 All good things must come to an end

Half a month later, both the door of the wanted criminal team's base dormitory and Jack's Firebird were repaired, and the remaining members of the former 110 Special Investigation Team gathered together again.

A large oven was placed on the lawn in front of the small building, and everyone involved in the case, including Stella and Regan's family from the CSI New York office, were present.

Of course, there were also some people who worked quietly behind the scenes, such as David Rossi, Dana Moage, bald Frank Moses and Jack's two sisters who did not show up.

The big bald dragon was nowhere to be seen. The two ladies couldn't get away from each other in California. Rosie came to New York a few days in advance and sent Jack a modified hidden car with Dana Moger. style police lights of Audi R8.

This 99% new supercar was a reciprocation from the International Department, as a token of gratitude from Jack for giving them an international terrorist.

I heard that this case alarmed both the President and the Secretary of State. Currently, the United States is working hard to win over the post-80s generation from Beibang, and the defecting terrorist has become the best bargaining chip.

The lawsuit against Senator Lavoie is expected to last for a long time, but this is no longer important. If nothing happens, Jack will soon have a senator lover.

Of course, strictly speaking, Senator Zoe Anderson should have a lover who works in the FBI.

There were a lot of guests today, so Jack's food was mainly large and filling. The oven used was a large smoked slow oven common in Texas, which contained whole beef brisket and pork ribs that had been marinated for a day in advance.

The smoky slow-roasting method is very labor-intensive. Jack followed the method of making Peking duck, using fragrant apple wood as fuel, and spraying fruit vinegar and grape juice on the meat from time to time to prevent moisture loss.

After staying in the oven at about 120 degrees for seven or eight hours, when you take it out, the beef brisket will be juicy with just a light press, while the pork ribs are already soft and fall off the bones, and you can easily pull them out with your hands. Ribs fell off.

Americans like all kinds of sauces when eating barbecue, and Jack also prepared some, but his marinating method is quite authentic, and the original flavor alone is enough to satisfy most people's taste buds.

Worried that the guests would be tired of just eating meat, Jack also toasted the bread, shredded the beef brisket directly and mixed it with onions and bell peppers to make hamburgers.

The most popular one is the roujiamo, which is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The Thousand Silk Pancakes originating from Tongguan, Shaanxi Province are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Paired with the juicy minced beef brisket, it is an unexpected surprise.

After sending away most of the guests, the special investigator also got a surprise of his own. Niggly hung up the phone and looked at Reacher and then Jack in surprise.

"My dad just called me, what did you do?"

"If I asked Jack to pay you money directly, you would scoff, but 24/7 medical care at Chicago Family Health Center is another story.

This way you can have some time to yourself and no longer have to spend all your free time taking care of your dad. "

Reacher played with the beer bottle in his hand, as if he was just talking about an inconspicuous thing.

"Rachel said that you would not accept gifts from others easily, but your father cannot spend all that money no matter how he uses it. In the end, it will be left to you in the form of an inheritance."

Jack wiped his hair with a towel, took the beer bottle handed by Nigli and smiled.

Making food is as pleasurable as exercising. The only drawback is that you are easily covered in the smell of oil fumes, so you need to take a shower afterwards, and it is best to light up a cigarette afterward.

"What about me? What does the world's strongest Santa Claus put under my Christmas tree this year?" O'Donnell looked forward to it.

"You don't have a penny." Rachel smiled and clinked the bottle with him.

Jack pulled out an envelope and handed it to him, "At the credit union on the corner of your house, Rachel set up an education fund account for your two children. The money is enough to cover the children's private school expenses and future college expenses. .

It's okay if you and your wife have enough kids to have a basketball team and every kid wants to be a doctor. "

"What happened to Congressman Lavoie has fully demonstrated how dangerous it is to deal with those guys. In the future, you should no longer need to do those blackmailing politicians, just take on the cases you want to take on."

The big guy's words made O'Donnell laugh and shake his head, "I really don't know what to say."

Reacher then looked at Dixon, "Speaking of work, you can resign. Jack's friend has registered a consulting company for you. I don't know the details, but the IRS will have some long-term entrustments to you.

That company is well-funded, and I know you have a lot of ideas that are so smart that you can only work for yourself. After that, you can use your creativity and do what you want. "

Dixon was so surprised that her beautiful eyes widened, "Uh wow." The eldest sister wowed for a long time, but she didn't say a word. It took a long time to hold back a word of thanks.

In the end, everyone looked at the big guy, but after waiting for a long time, O'Donnell couldn't help but asked curiously, "What about you? Big guy, what did you get yourself?"

Reacher frowned and pondered for a while, then hesitantly said, "A new toothbrush? Jack said it was unhygienic that I always put the toothbrush directly in my pocket, so he suggested that I buy one with a protective box."

Several people couldn't help but chuckle, thinking he was joking. It wasn't until they saw the half-smiling expression on Jack's face that Dixon was shocked and said, "God, he is serious."

"I originally planned to sign a share transfer agreement to the big guy and use the annual dividends to supplement his travel funds, but he refused."

Jack put a box of cigars on the table, "Excluding the cost of repairing the door upstairs and my car, I bought an extra box of cigars, and the remaining money was donated to a non-profit organization that provides psychological counseling to veterans. "

While talking, the special investigators present, including the ladies, shared a cigar among their hands.

The ladies just held it in their hands as a souvenir, while the men all lit their cigars. O'Donnell slowly blew out a smoke ring, shook his head and sighed.

"You know, Reacher, when I heard you were wandering around with only what would fit in your pockets, I thought you were crazy, like one of those guys with trauma syndrome.

But now I have to admit that maybe you are the one who lives the most thoroughly among us. "

Lei Che smiled and did not answer, and everyone remained silent. Everyone knew that the official farewell was coming soon.

As if he felt that the atmosphere was suddenly a little weird due to O'Donnell, Dixon rolled his eyes, hugged the big man's arm and smiled sweetly.

"Maybe there are other things you can do, Rachel, come home with me. I really want you to meet my parents."

Under the gazes of everyone, the muscles all over the big man's body tensed up visibly in an instant, and he even stopped breathing.

Seeing that this rough man's face was getting redder and redder, and when he didn't know how to respond, Dixon burst out laughing and hugged his neck, "Damn it, you can't see that this is a joke, why did I do it instead?" There was a sense of guilt.”

"Oh, I thought I didn't know." Reacher suddenly became a little incoherent. It took him a long time to react from the "fright" just now, and hugged Dixon with his backhand.

Jack conjured an envelope and placed it between their lips, which were about to touch each other. "Before you go upstairs and collapse the bed, here is a small gift for Rachel."

Dixon blushed and took the envelope. After Reacher nodded, he opened the envelope and took out a card from inside, wondering, "What is this?"

"The Greyhound Bus Travel Pass is an annual pass worth US$1,980. With this small card, Reacher can ride Greyhound Bus anywhere in the country within a year.

That way I don't have to worry about someone jumping on a freight train and having an accident because the train derails. "Jack explained with a smile.

"Sounds like a freedom worth $1,980." Reacher happily took the small card and stuffed it into his pocket, then stood up from the sofa with Dixon in his arms.

"Perhaps you can consider staying here for dinner. I saw that Jack has prepared a lot of ingredients."

Everyone gave him the middle finger, and Nigli even smiled and said, "I will wait for you for 10 minutes at most. Dixon and I have made an appointment to go to the airport together."

"Ten minutes is really not enough. I'm not O'Donnell." Reacher's last words before going upstairs attracted contempt from O'Donnell with two middle fingers.
