Chapter 832: Clueless and Gravy Biscuits (Happy Holidays to All the Kids)

Eating hamburgers and drinking cola, everyone helped to look through the files. By 10 o'clock in the evening, no one could bear it any longer.

Jiejie put the stack of files in her hand back on the bar, rubbing her sore eyebrows, "Why do I feel that the sheriff has issued arrest warrants for everyone here?"

Clay suppressed his laughter and put the files in his hand back on the bar, "So far, the worst case I have seen is a sexual assault case. The perpetrator was turned over by the 200-pound female victim and suffered internal injuries and fractures. He was in the hospital for two months.

I don't think such a guy would have too much hostility towards the assistant prosecutors who prosecuted him."

Jack expressed his opinion concisely, "I have the illusion of being in Florida."

Jubal stood up and signaled everyone to disperse, "I hope everyone doesn't mind the bad environment of the motel next door. Go to bed early.

These files should be hopeless. Alice will call the Little Rock office early tomorrow morning. They have announced a hotline on the local news station. Maybe there will be some clues by then."

The next morning, everyone got up on time. The men gathered in the parking lot to chat while waiting for the ladies who needed to dress up.

Unlike Jack, who only needs a few hours of deep sleep to fully recover, and Clay, who has military experience and can turn a deaf ear to some discordant noises and still sleep well, Aubrey and Jubal looked a little worse.

The relatively good rooms were given to the girls by the men in a very gracious manner, so the three ladies who walked out of the room were still so radiant.

Every time you go to a place, you have to adapt to the customs of that place. Federal agents in suits and leather shoes in southern states are obviously not very popular, so neither the men nor the ladies present wore formal clothes.

The daytime temperature is still a bit hot now. Except for Jubal who wore a thin jacket, everyone else basically wore a combination of T-shirts and jeans. When needed, they could put on an extra sweatshirt to cover the pistol on their waists.

"As you wish." Alice shook the mobile phone in her left hand at Jubal, smiling brightly. Although the flu has been raging recently, her condition is surprisingly good.

The insomnia, anxiety and various disorders that she had experienced before all disappeared magically. If this single mother with a very good complexion appeared in the operations center of the New York Federal Building again, those otakus would probably become stupid fossils.

"There is a clue on the hotline. An anonymous call came in half an hour ago. The lady on the other end of the phone who did not want to reveal her name told the agent on duty that she heard two Latino gangsters bragging to her that they killed the bastard who sent their boss to prison."

"It sounds like it is related to our case. Do you have the caller's location information?" Jubal's brows relaxed slightly, but tightened again after glancing at Aubrey who was drooling at Alice.

"The call came from a restaurant called 'Har's Hygienic Restaurant'." Alice said and started to look up the specific address on her phone.

Jack poked Aubrey, who was still in a daze, with a smile. Although he really didn't mind the second office couple in the group, he didn't want the two to get involved too much before this guy really settled down.

Having another couple in the group can indeed help attract some firepower, so that he won't always be eaten by others, but if they break up, wouldn't it be embarrassing? At present, the harmonious atmosphere in the wanted criminal group is quite good, and there is no need to make trouble.

"It sounds like this restaurant is quite suitable for our breakfast today. I hope it is as hygienic as its owner claims, and I hope it's not too far away. I'm so hungry." Jack tossed the car keys in his hand and invited everyone to get in the car.

"This place is so small, it can't be far away." Alice raised her mobile phone, her thin eyebrows slightly raised, and the unique charm of a mature woman inadvertently revealed, once again made Aubrey, who was about to drive an SUV, stunned.

"20 bucks, I'll drive, you and Alice can share a car, how about that?" Hannah approached him and whispered.

"Ah?" Aubrey hadn't reacted yet, and he met Jubal's rather unfriendly eyes, obviously he had the same idea as Jack.

Watching this guy run to another car in dejection, Jiejie smiled ambiguously, hugged Alice who was still a little confused, and got into the SUV driven by Jack.

A small episode ended here. Just as Alice said, the advantage of a small place is that it only takes one step to get anywhere. In less than 20 minutes, the two SUVs stopped in the parking lot in front of a roadside restaurant.

Like most roadside restaurants, "Hal's Hygienic Restaurant" is located in an L-shaped row house built at a three-way intersection, sharing a building with a small supermarket next to it.

The iron signboard with red background and white characters on the roof looked old. Although it was old, it was not broken. Jack pushed the door open and entered. The copper bell hanging on the door made a crisp sound. The waitress who was pouring coffee for the guests at the bar looked at the seven people.

Although the members of the wanted criminal team were dressed like tourists, such a group of handsome men and beautiful women was still eye-catching. The restaurant was doing quite well, and more than half of the seats were filled with customers who were having breakfast.

Under the scrutinizing eyes of the surrounding customers, Jack showed his eight white teeth and smiled and greeted the fat waitress.

"Hello, please help us find a quiet place for a chat."

The plump waitress was slightly distracted by someone's business smile. It took her a while to react and quickly pointed to an empty seat in the corner.

"Oh, of course, I just cleaned it there. Just put two tables together."

"OK, thank you, we can do it ourselves." Jack kept smiling and took the menu that the other party handed over subconsciously.

"Dear, can you help introduce your specialties?"

"Our gravy biscuit here is the best in the whole Forrest. My husband, uh, Hal, made a unique sauce with pepper and Mexican tomatoes." The waitress followed behind everyone and introduced attentively.

Biscuit is a kind of bread that spread from the southern United States to the entire federation. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, between bread and cake. The method is somewhat similar to British scones.

Because it is small, you can easily finish one in two or three bites. It is also called quick bread. The way of eating it with pork sausage sauce originated in the South after the War of Independence.

At that time, the southern United States was mainly a plantation economy. This high-salt, high-sugar, high-calorie and economical breakfast was the favorite of plantation workers before starting a hard day's work.

Although you can eat gravy biscuits of various flavors on tables all over the country now, since you are in the South, how can you not taste this special food from its birthplace.

"Then give each of us a portion first, oh, and coffee, of course. You can see that everyone is hungry, let them order the rest slowly."

The waitress helped everyone put the table together and walked happily to the kitchen behind the bar. Others looked at Jack's performance with amusement, and Jubal shook his head slightly to express his speechlessness.
