The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.

After spending ten minutes visiting John, Professor Cahill spent three full days examining Jack's academic performance before he boarded the plane back to Washington, DC with satisfaction.

After writing a lot of reports, Jack also boarded a flight back to New York.

After some careful reflection, someone decided to be as peaceful as possible in the new year, mainly not going out unless necessary to avoid committing unnecessary sins.

I vaguely remember that I had planned to travel along the interstate highway by car. Now it seems that I was quite naive at that time.

It's not like I haven't encountered corrupt cops before. I've had two encounters with those from the NYPD alone, but this is the first time I've killed so many of them in one go.

Of course, the main problem must be with this guy John, it must be.

After returning to New York, Jack spent a few days dealing with some trivial matters, such as sending a few "Bossy" novels signed by "Joan Doe" to a girl who was in danger in Hawaii - the autistic sister.

Although Jack said he didn't know any "Joan Doe" when he was chatting with Julie in the jungle, as an FBI agent 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.

This little surprise also brought him some minor trouble that he was not aware of. Although he used his left hand and imitated female handwriting, he was accidentally noticed by Hannah when he was preparing to sign the two novels.

When Hannah first came across the two novels while cleaning Jack's room, the plastic wrap was still intact, but when she saw them on the desk that afternoon, she discovered a brand new signature on the title page.

The 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, quite naturally, Jiejie also knew this little secret. Coincidentally, she also had some "document inspection" skills, so a small "task force" was set up.

The two girls bought all the novels under the name of "Joan Doe" and compared and analyzed them word by word with Jack's only published book, "Jack Reacher".

Different from the "document examination" known to the public, "document examination" is not just about handwriting identification, but also involves related fields of linguistics, philology and psychology.

A person's habitual expressions and the order in which he organizes his language when writing can all be traced.

While the two girls were enthusiastically studying their new little secret without telling anyone, the second mission from the International Department also came to the wanted criminals team.

When Rossi and a middle-aged man with the same meticulously combed hair arrived at the group's office near Long Island, Jack, Aubrey and Clay were tinkering 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 deafening sound of gunfire and engine noises mixed together, making the place as lively as a gang's stronghold.

"This is Jon Michaels, the new head of the International Department."

Rossi gave everyone a wink when introducing him, and both Jubal and Jack noticed that this person didn't look like an easy person to get along with, and he had a sullen face from beginning to end.

But this has little to do with them, as they are all from the same department. Although this person is higher in rank than Jubal, the head of the next department has no control over them.

Compared to before, the chaos in the International Department is far from over. Even some of Rossi's old friends have been involved and are not getting along well with each other.

This made Rossi a little troubled. He originally just wanted to help, but in the end, he ended up finding himself in a difficult position.

However, power struggles are everywhere, and for Rossi, it is just a bit annoying. He can just coax her a few more words like "little pumpkin" or "little cookie".

But for the members of the wanted criminals 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 seek external assistance, and the place was far away. The key was that time was tight.

"Tanzania?" Jack's only impression of this country was that its army was said to be one of the most powerful in Africa. Of course, the reason seemed to be well known.

Jubal was concerned about the case itself. "23 American tourists disappeared, all from a mission in Texas."

When talking about the specific circumstances of this case, Rossi's brows were almost knotted.

"Garcia finally figured out their number. The locals don't seem to be very sensitive to numbers. The specific identities of the missing are still being collected, but at least half of them don't seem to have social media accounts."

Jubal picked up the thin documents on the table and flipped through them. "The last sighting record was that they were volunteering in a small town, and then took a train to the north together.

The conductor said he saw them at 2:30 a.m. local time, uh."

He glanced at the global time zone table displayed on Alice's computer, calculated in his mind for a long time before continuing, "That's about 16 hours ago."

"Has the local police or the military searched the stations where the trains stop?" Aubrey obviously did not have much confidence in his answer to this question.

Rossi gave a ridiculous answer, "That's the problem. It is said that the train did not stop at all. The 23 people just disappeared 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, and the local police were ready to close the case with the reason of "ascension."

Everyone at the scene frowned when they heard this word. Clay even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "Is the 'ascension' you mentioned the same as the ascension I understand? The ascension into heaven?"

"That's what I mean." Rossi smiled bitterly and shrugged.

"Then our task is to conduct an investigation based on the premise that it is not God who appears and takes away His followers. 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 Rossi's answer.

"Both governments have agreed to wait 24 hours from the time your aircraft lands before issuing a media statement to inform the public of the disappearance."

Jack covered his head with his hands, feeling somewhat regretful. Why had he been bewitched by the devil Rossi and seduced into signing the agreement to help the International Department with five cases? He completely forgot that he had enthusiastically followed up on the progress of the transformation of the Bombardier business jet not long ago.
