North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 258 Rejection

The topic of buying a house was just killed by Jimmy, and Peter didn't know what to say. Anyway, he would go to the contact person to handle it. The matter came to an end, and the three of them continued to have dinner and chat.

Elizabeth actually brought up a topic that made Jimmy very embarrassed, "Jimmy, since you are not short of money, why don't you change into some clothes that match your status?"

Jimmy was choked up. He faltered twice, and finally said with a wry smile: "Because I don't know what kind of suits to buy. I bought several sets of suits at home now before I started working. I bought several sets at once."

The same clothes are hung in the closet and changed every day.

I used to be a county police officer, and I wore police uniforms more than 80% of the time. I usually wear casual clothes. I really don’t know which brand to buy.”

Jimmy reached for his wallet and took out the only photo from it and handed it to Elizabeth. It was taken by someone else when he was a county police officer. He was 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 her. She said that Jimmy in uniform and Jimmy in suit looked completely different. They looked different before.

More energetic, and of course more aggressive.

At that time, there was no soft body armor to wear inside, which would not make the police uniform look like a fat man. Moreover, there was a bunch of debris hanging on the duty belt, and there was an exposed gun holster on the leg, and he held a revolver in his hand.

With a well-proportioned figure, he looks like a handsome young man who is full of aggression.

There is a reason why this photo has kept Jimmy around for so long. He 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. Peter saw the revolver that Jimmy was playing with in the photo at first sight.

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

"Peter, is this the one you told me about before? Jimmy, can I see it?" Elizabeth suddenly pointed at the gun in the photo and asked Jimmy. Jimmy was stunned for a moment, nodded, took out the revolver from the holster, and removed it.

He picked up the bullet, closed the cylinder, poured it out and handed it to Elizabeth.

"Wow, this is a real murder weapon." Elizabeth turned it over in her hand, and Peter took it over. "You'd better not touch this gun. It's very vicious. Dozens of people have fallen here.

Put the gun down."

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

.”

Elizabeth reached out to take it from Peter's hand and continued to read. Peter could only shake his head helplessly. He was not Jimmy. After joining the FBI for so many years, he didn't fight as many times as Jimmy in a month.

Elizabeth looked at it for a while and then gave it back to Jimmy. Jimmy opened the bullet chamber and checked it, then reloaded the bullet and put it back under his arm.

Peter: "Jimmy, what are you going to do on your 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: "Hmm? Do you have a purchasing plan?"

Jimmy: "Not yet. Elizabeth, you should know a lot about dressing, right? 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. I'm not in a hurry anyway. Just take your time and look for it. There are so many choices here in New York that I don't know what to choose. I don't have high requirements for clothes, so I can always find them."

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Jimmy stood up and left. Peter and Elizabeth sent Jimmy out and watched Jimmy get into a taxi and leave. Peter sighed, and Elizabeth asked, "What's wrong?"

Peter: "This guy is really surprising."

Elizabeth: "Will something happen to him? Your investigation."

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

Peter held Elizabeth's shoulders, turned around, closed the door and returned to the house.

Elizabeth: "Why?"

Peter: "Do you really believe that his company can save hundreds of thousands in savings 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, I can’t say for sure now. Okay, let’s not talk about him anymore.”

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

Jimmy took a taxi and went directly back to the apartment. He had gained something tonight. At least the house purchase plan he had considered before was put on the agenda. He didn't have a few gold coins left, so he might as well use the connections in the game to buy the house.

But it's a bit regretful. Jimmy had considered asking Elizabeth to help suggest what brand of clothes to buy. It seems that she is not willing to get involved in this matter, so just look for it casually. Anyway, mid-range and above will be fine, too high-end. He didn't have the money to buy it either.

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

There is another joke you can tell about sending clothes to the laundry.

In this shitty place like New York, you can’t just buy a washing machine and dryer and use it at home. The New York Times once reported that in Manhattan, symbols that reflect a person’s social status: washing machines and dryers. Interested You can check it out, Manhattan Status Symbols: Washers and Dryers.

Many houses in New York do not have independent additional water connections, unless the apartments are renovated. However, the plumbing facilities in many buildings in New York are too old. Unless the pipe network is significantly renovated, they simply cannot afford to use a washing machine in every apartment. and the additional capacity needed for the dryer.

There are also very annoying regulations. The New York government's process for changing the division of wet and dry areas in apartments is too complicated. There is also the noise problem from washing machines and dryers. What's even more frightening is that some buildings have been designated as historical buildings by the government. If you want to modify it, you need a series of permits, which is a headache just thinking about it.

In order to install a washing machine and dryer in an apartment, you need to deal with some or even most of the above problems. In addition to the trouble, it also costs a lot of money. These reasons are enough for apartment owners to give up directly. Choose a laundromat on the street or use the washing machine shared in the apartment.

Laundries are okay. Many people usually choose to throw dirty shoes and other clothes directly into the washing machines in public laundry rooms, as well as 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 bleaching powder and other disinfectants to clean and disinfect the washing machine before the first two groups of people use it. Otherwise, a laundromat is more reliable.
