The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 181
Compared with the thick stack of typed materials brought by Joy's beautiful female Secret Service administrator, Molly Beth Gordon, Reacher and Rothko brought back a whole large wooden box from the barber shop.

After opening the box with the key found in the gun box, everyone, mainly Dana and Chris, devoted themselves to sorting out these materials.

Why Dana and Chris are the main ones, because most of them are copies of Kleiner Foundation's tax declaration materials, detailing almost every transaction.

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

In less than an hour, Chris came to a conclusion.

Director Ray King, who rushed to Atlanta this morning, took off his reading glasses and squeezed the space between his brows.

"It also means that even if we have enough evidence, it will be a long-drawn-out lawsuit, and almost no one in this town will take our side, and will instead see us as the culprit in destroying their happy life. "

Jack interjected, "And as long as Kleiner smuggles the remaining counterfeit banknotes out of the country, and then burns down the factory building, and replaces it with convenient transportation, the same desolate town can resume its old business."

The idea he made up early in the morning was to just flip the table and let the officials wipe his ass. The FBI's clean-up operation against the ogre in New Mexico opened the door to a new world for him.

Seeing this kid staring at him, Ray King certainly knew what he was thinking, "I need a reasonable reason, otherwise I can't endorse your raid in private."

Jack snapped his fingers and took a document from Zooey.

"This is an investigative report. Inspector Finlay said that he had a friend from the FBI who once advised him not to come to Margrave. I had some associations with this sentence, so I asked Zoe to do it through her relationship." did some research."

"Not long after Hannah's parents died, an investigator from the Environmental Protection Agency died accidentally. An FBI named Picard was assigned to investigate and then closed the case hastily. The conclusion was that manslaughter was caused by burglary."

Hannah continued, "According to Joey's investigation, it was a well-known local professional killer nicknamed 'Viking'."

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

"Coincidentally, his partner was a 'Viking' who was about the same size as Reacher, but unfortunately died of cancer three years ago."

"Is the income of your FBI too low? Why are you either working as a part-time professional killer or colluding with a counterfeit banknote group? How about you and Jack come to our IRS as an investigator."

Ray King dug the corner 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 saw the revenge, the FBI was not so attractive to her.

If Jack is willing, it doesn’t make much difference for her to stay in the FBI or go to the IRS. Of course Jack doesn’t want to. Going to the IRS to check taxes doesn’t have as much experience in solving crimes as going to the BAU.

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

"This information is enough to allow the IRS to block the local FBI office, and if the process calls for FBI support elsewhere, there may not be enough time."

The IRS does not have an independent armed force as it was boasted on the Internet in the previous life. When investigators go out to check taxes, it is best to carry a pistol with them. When they need to use force, they basically ask the FBI for assistance. Each has its own SWAT team.

Where the IRS really shines is in having its own separate tax court and prison.

As an old and mature fox, Ray King certainly knew what this kid was planning. It was nothing more than laying down various reasons for him to take the group of people in front of him to avenge his personal revenge.

He pondered for a moment and asked a little question, "What is your reason for raiding the Kleiner family? I can completely bypass the FBI's local office and communicate with their upper echelons. A SWAT team will arrive within two days at most." Atlanta."

"These evidences are enough to apply for a search warrant to conduct a raid on Kleiner Industries. It is impossible for me to order a police detective from the local police station to take a LAPD on vacation and an undisclosed The FBI with the same identity, and even a few civilians rushed in and killed them."

Jack had already made up his mind, "Kidnapping, we need to rescue the hostages."

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

"Wife and daughter of Paul Heborg's family, Charlie Heborg took two daughters and hid in his cousin Stevenson's house. In order to force Paul to show up, several South American killers sneaked into Stevenson's house tonight , kidnapped them in front of Detective Finlay."

"In order to rescue the hostages, Detective Finlay led the elite police officers from the local police station and a few good citizens who passed by, and followed the murderer to the factory of Kleiner Industries, only to find a large amount of counterfeit banknotes and the money used to make counterfeit banknotes. A complete set of materials and equipment."

After Jack finished speaking, he thought about it again, and found that he was quite talented in 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 innocently, "Do you know the old couple next door who took their granddaughter out for a trip?"

Everyone around shook their heads, and the thin-skinned people like Dana raised their heads to appreciate the beautiful scenery on the ceiling so as not to laugh.

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

"If you can guarantee that the main criminal will not go to court, I can turn a blind eye to all of this. Because of the traitor issue, the FBI will also expect to close the case quickly. As for the Secret Service"

Everyone had smiles on their faces that everyone knew.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ray King got up and left the room, and went to the next door to be with an old couple who was unknown to everyone and took their granddaughters out for a trip. Jack began to assign tasks to everyone.

"As long as there are no accidents on Finlay's side, we will act tonight. In order to avoid the other party's detection, we need to sneak in in batches before dark."

"Everyone is divided into three groups. One group ambushes near Stevenson's house, the other group monitors the movement of the factory set up by the Kleiner family in the ranch, and the last group is responsible for protecting the safety of the Heborg family. After everything is over , we need them to be there.”

Speaking of which, Jack paused, and looked at the other Jack Reacher, "Is there a way to find out Paul Heborg? We need him to provide the layout of the factory. We may not have time to press for this information."

Lei Che glanced at the time, nodded confidently, "I will bring him before dark, hunting fugitives is my strong point."

At this time, Jack's cell phone rang suddenly. When he opened it, it was a message from Justin. Jack asked her to investigate two things before. information.

Paul hid very well, didn't use a credit card, didn't drive by himself, and Justin couldn't help it for a while, so he sent some of his background information for reference.

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

Everyone cast suspicious eyes, so rash?
"Paul is not a bad person. In his logic, he just goes out to hide from the limelight and won't be too far away from his family. Once Kleiner threatens him with his family, he must be able to show up in time."

As he drew a circle on the map with his finger, "Atlanta is a big city, he would be very uncomfortable, and feel that Kleiner's eyeliner is everywhere; Athens County, where the University of Georgia is located, anyone would think of going there first find him."

"Do you still remember that he wanted to listen to "Rocky Raccoon" sung by his mother when he was a child in prison? He habitually found a comfort zone for himself. According to the information, he likes to play golf. Had great memories there.”

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

Braxton, who had been silent all this time, questioned a little unconvinced, "But even if you know he's hiding in Augusta, how do you know where he's hiding?"

Lei Che showed a mysterious smile, "He dare not use credit cards, dare not reveal his identity information, so he can only live in cheap motels that charge by the hour, and just look around the long-distance bus platform."

Everyone was silent for a while, Jack coughed lightly, hoping that the protagonist's aura would play a role, and then he looked at Roseko.

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

Rothko's breath suddenly became short of breath, "At that time, the coroner said that it was possible that he accidentally fell before hanging himself, because the wound was not fatal. Have you found any evidence of his murder?"

After discovering that her adoptive father was investigating Kleiner Industries during his lifetime, Rothko 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, and the diamond-shaped impact marks can be clearly seen on it."

Rose Ke suddenly stood up, "It's Tiller's dead fat pig, his cane is inlaid with a diamond-shaped artificial moissanite, he has long been in collusion with the Kleiner family, he is the one who killed Gray , and then disguised it as a suicide."

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

"My suggestion is that you and Reacher go to find Paul. On the way back, you can pass by the house of the respected mayor and police chief. After all, the bodies of those who colluded with the Kleiner family appeared when they made counterfeit banknotes." In your factory, it’s also reasonable, right?”

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