Chapter 1046 Going to Africa?
After spending ten minutes visiting John, Professor Cahill spent three days investigating Jack's academic performance, and then he was satisfied and boarded the plane back to Washington, DC.
After writing a lot of reports, Jack also boarded the flight back to New York.
After a careful reflection, someone decided to be as quiet as possible in the new year, mainly not to go out unless necessary, so as not to increase the killing.
I vaguely remember that I had made a plan to travel along the interstate highway. Now it seems that I was quite naive at that time.
It's not that I haven't encountered black police before. I have fought with those from the NYPD twice, but it's really the first time to kill so many in one go.
Of course, the main problem must be with John, that's for sure.
After returning to New York, Jack spent a few days dealing with some trivial matters, such as sending a few "domineering" novels signed by "Joan Doe" to a girl who was in danger in Hawaii - a sister with autism.
Although Jack said he didn't know "Joan Doe" when he was chatting with Julie in the jungle, as an FBI and detective novelist, it didn't seem difficult for him to get these things.
This was also the little surprise that Jack promised to give Julie.
And this little surprise also brought him a little trouble that he didn't know about. Although he used his left hand and imitated the female handwriting, he was accidentally noticed by Hannah when he was preparing to sign the two novels.
When Hannah first found the two novels when she was cleaning the room for Jack, the plastic film had not been opened, but when she saw it on the desk that afternoon, she found a brand new signature on the title page.
The little sweet girl was very sure that Jack had neither gone out nor had any visitors that day, so she only needed simple reasoning to come to a seemingly incredible conclusion.
Then, very naturally, Jiejie also knew this little secret, and she happened to have some "document inspection" skills, so a small "special task force" was established.
The two girls bought all the novels under the name of "Joan Doe" and compared them word by word with Jack's only published book "Jack the Reacher".
Unlike the "document examination" known to the public, "document examination" is not only about identifying handwriting, but also involves related fields of linguistics, philology and psychology.
There are traces of a person's habitual expressions and the order of organizing language when writing.
Just as the two girls were studying their newly discovered little secrets with great interest without telling anyone, the second task from the International Department also came to the wanted criminal team.
When Rossi and a middle-aged man with his hair combed as meticulously as his came to the team's office near Long Island, Jack, Aubrey and Clay were fiddling with the newly acquired Audi R8 in the garage.
Jubal and Alice were practicing shooting in the small shooting range next to the garage. The "bang bang" sound of gunfire and engine noise mixed together and was deafening, making the place lively like the base of a bad gang.
"This is Jon Michaels, the new director of the International Department."
Rosie winked at everyone when introducing him, and both Jubal and Jack noticed that this person didn't look like a very easy-to-get-along character, and he had a sullen face from beginning to end.
But this didn't matter to them much, because they were all from different departments. Although this person was higher than Jubal in terms of rank, the director of the next department couldn't control them.
Compared to before, the chaos in the International Department was far from being calmed down. Even some of Rossi's old friends were involved in it, and they didn't get along well with each other.
This made Rossi a little annoyed. Originally, he just wanted to help, but in the end, he was a bit of a nobody.
But power struggles are everywhere, and for Rossi, it was just a little annoying, nothing more than a few more words of coaxing like "little pumpkin" and "little cookie".
But for everyone in the wanted criminal team, the case sent by the International Department this time was a bit troublesome. Of course, if it wasn't troublesome, there was no need to find external help, and the place was far away, and the key was that time was tight.
"Tanzania?" Jack's only impression of this country is that it is said that the country's army is relatively capable in Africa, of course, the reason seems to be well known.
Jubal is concerned about the case itself, "23 American tourists are missing, all from a mission in Texas."
Speaking of the specific circumstances of this case, Rossi's brows are almost knotted.
"Garcia finally figured out their number. The locals seem to be very insensitive to numbers. The specific identities of the missing are still being collected, but at least half of them don't seem to have social accounts."
Jubal picked up the thin documents on the table and flipped through them. "The last eyewitness record is that they were volunteers in a small town and then took a train to the north together.
The conductor said he saw them at 2:30 in the morning local time, uh."
He glanced at the global time zone table displayed by Alice on the computer, and calculated in his mind for a long time before continuing, "That is about 16 hours ago."
"Have the local police or the military searched the stations where the train stopped?" Aubrey obviously didn't have much confidence in his question.
Rossi gave a ridiculous answer, "Here's the problem. It is said that the train did not stop at all, and 23 people just disappeared into thin air on the moving train.
All the staff on the train claimed that the train had not stopped along the way and there was no special movement. Then the local police were ready to close the case on the grounds of "ascension". "
This word made everyone at the scene frown. Clay even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "Is the 'ascension' you are talking about the ascension that I understand? The one that goes to heaven?"
"That's what I mean." Rossi smiled wryly and shrugged.
"Then our task is to investigate on the premise that God did not appear and take away His believers, so how much time do we have before the Vatican intervenes?"
Jack made a joke, but the smile quickly froze on his face because of Rosie's answer.
"Both governments have agreed to wait 24 hours before issuing a media statement to inform the public of the disappearance, and this time will be calculated from the time your plane lands."
Jack covered his head and regretted a little. Why had he been so obsessed with being tempted by the devil Rossi to sign an agreement to help the International Department with five cases? He completely forgot that not long ago, he had followed up on the modification of the Bombardier business jet with great interest. schedule.
