North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 258 Rejection
The topic of buying a house was killed by Jimmy, and Peter didn't know what to say. Anyway, he would go to the contact person to deal with it. The matter came to an end, and the three continued to eat dinner and chat.

Elizabeth brought up an embarrassing topic for Jimmy, "Jimmy, since you are not short of money, why don't you change into some clothes that match your status?"

Jimmy was choked, he hesitated twice, and finally said with a wry smile: "Because I don't know what kind of suits to buy. The few suits at home are bought before I started working, and I bought several sets at a time. The same clothes are hung in the closet and changed every day.

I used to be a county policeman, and I wore police uniforms more than 80% of the time, usually in casual clothes. I really didn't know what brand to buy. "

Jimmy reached for his wallet, took out the only photo in it, and handed it to Elizabeth. It was taken by someone else when he was a county sheriff, leaning on the police car and playing with the revolver.

"Wow, Peter, look, how handsome Jimmy used to be." Elizabeth looked at the photo, and then handed it to Peter next to him. One thing to say, Jimmy in uniform and Jimmy in suit look completely different styles. More spiritual, of course, more aggressive.

At that time, there was no soft body armor worn inside, which would not make the police uniform look like a fat man, and there were a lot of odds and ends hanging on the duty belt, and there were exposed gun holsters on the legs. With a well-proportioned figure, no matter how you look at it, he is a handsome guy with full of aggression.

There is a reason why this photo can keep Jimmy for so long. It looks really handsome.

"Jimmy, is the gun in your hand the one you are using now?" Peter looked at the photo, maybe it was a professional issue, and Peter saw the revolver that Jimmy was playing with in the photo at first glance.

"Well, this gun has been with me for more than two years, I'm more nostalgic." Jimmy nodded.

"Peter, is this the one you told me about earlier? Jimmy, can I have a look?" Elizabeth suddenly pointed to the gun in the photo and asked Jimmy. Unloaded the bullet, closed the cylinder and poured it out to Elizabeth.

"Wow, this is a real murder weapon." Elizabeth flipped it in her hand, and Peter took it over, "You better not touch this gun, it is very fierce, dozens of people have already fallen here Put the gun down."

Peter glanced at it, and then handed it to Jimmy. Jimmy raised his chin and motioned to Elizabeth, "It's okay, Peter, don't be superstitious. It's just a weapon. Let Elizabeth take a good look at it. There are not many opportunities to see this kind of gun. .”

Elizabeth reached out to take it from Peter's hand, and continued to look at it. Peter could only shake his head helplessly. He is not Jimmy. He has been in the FBI for so many years, and he has not fought as many times as Jimmy in a month.

Elizabeth flipped through it for a while, then gave it back to Jimmy. Jimmy opened the cylinder and checked it, then reloaded the bullet and put it back under his arm.

Peter: "Jimmy, what are you going to do on vacation these days?"

Jimmy: "I haven't thought about it yet, but since I have time, I plan to go shopping and do some shopping."

Elizabeth: "Huh? Is there a purchase plan?"

Jimmy: "Not yet. Elizabeth, you should know more about dressing and matching? Do you have any recommendations?"

Elizabeth: "Ah, I don't know much about this, so I can't help you. Sorry."

Jimmy: "Ah, it's okay. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Let's look slowly. There are too many choices here in New York, so I don't know what to choose. I don't have high requirements for clothes, and I can always find them."

The three chatted for a while, and Jimmy got up to leave. Peter and Elizabeth sent Jimmy out. Watching Jimmy leave in a taxi, Peter sighed, and Elizabeth asked, "What's wrong?"

Peter: "This kid is really surprising."

Elizabeth: "Then will something happen to him? Your investigation."

Peter: "At first I thought there would be no problem, but now, I'm not sure."

Peter hugged Elizabeth's shoulders, turned and closed the door and went back to the house.

Elizabeth: "Why?"

Peter: "Do you really believe that his company can save hundreds of thousands of deposits in one or two years without knowing how to spend it? I even suspect that OPR's investigation of him is related to his company. What will happen to this matter, now I can't say for sure. Well, let's not talk about him. "

Peter sat on the sofa and turned on the TV while Elizabeth cleared the table.

Jimmy took a taxi and went straight back to the apartment. Tonight was considered fruitful. At least the plan to buy a house that he had considered before was put on the agenda. He didn't have a few gold coins left, so let's use the connections in the bureau to settle the house.

But it’s a pity, Jimmy had thought about asking Elizabeth for advice on what brand of clothes to buy. It seems that she doesn’t want to get involved in this matter, so let’s just look for it. Anyway, mid-range and above are fine, too high-end. He didn't have the money to buy it either.

After a night of rest, the next morning Jimmy wore yesterday's set of jeans, packed a few suits and sent them to the laundry, and then prepared to go shopping.

There is another joke to tell about sending clothes to the laundromat.

In this broken place in New York, washing machines and dryers are not something you can buy and use at home. The New York Times once reported that in Manhattan, the symbols of a person's social status: washing machines and dryers.If you are interested, you can take a look at Manhattan Status Symbols: Washers and Dryers.
There are many houses in New York that do not have independent additional water outlets. Unless the apartments are remodeled, the plumbing facilities in many buildings in New York are too old. Unless the pipe network is remodeled, it is impossible to afford washing machines in every apartment. and the extra capacity needed for the dryer.

There are also very annoying regulations. The New York government's process of changing the dry and wet areas in the apartment is too complicated. There are also noise problems from washing machines and dryers. What's more frightening is that some buildings have been recognized as historical buildings by the government. A series of permits are required to remodel, which is a headache to think about.

In order to put a washer and dryer in the apartment, some or even most of the above problems need to be dealt with. In addition to the trouble, it is also a huge expense. These reasons are enough for apartment owners to give up directly, thus Choose a laundromat on the street or directly use the public washing machine in the apartment.

Laundries are okay. Many people usually choose to throw dirty shoes and other clothes into the washing machines in public laundry rooms. There are also all kinds of clothes that are easy to fade and stain. In short, unless it is the regular disinfection day of the apartment , They use bleach and other disinfectants to clean and disinfect the washing machine and then use it for the first two batches of people, otherwise, the laundry is more reliable.
