North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 284 Who is it?

Jimmy rested in the hotel room for a while, then went out and walked into Justin's bar. He had been in a bad mood since yesterday, and he really needed a drink or two to relax himself.

Jimmy: "Hi, Justin."

Justin was arranging the drinks inside with his back to the bar. When he heard someone tell him to turn his head and take a look, he saw Jimmy wearing a cowboy hat.

Justin was quite surprised: "Jimmy, why are you back?" After a slight pause, "For the matter of Director James?"

Jimmy nodded. He wasn't surprised that Justin could guess. In fact, James was shot. If Justin didn't know about it, then he would be too incompetent as an intelligence agent, especially since his bar opened in the county police station. next to the headquarters.

Jimmy: "Give me a drink, anything."

Justin nodded. Jimmy had already run out of wine here before, and after leaving Little Rock for more than half a year, naturally he didn't have any wine left.Justin busily mixed it at the counter, then handed Jimmy an olive martini.

Jimmy took a sip and put the cup on the bar. He took off the hat and handed it to Justin, and put it inside the bar. Suddenly, he remembered something. "Justin, speaking of which, the beauty in the bar at the InterContinental Hotel last time is called Adi, and she is also very good at making martinis. Did she learn from you?"

Justin: "Well, you still remember. Well, I was in her place a few years ago, you see."

Jimmy nodded, "Do you have any information here? Information about the shooter."

Justin looked to the side and moved a little closer: "There is no information on the shooter yet. I also checked with the customer center and found no reward list for James. It is almost certain that our people did not do it."

Jimmy frowned, took another sip from his glass.

Justin: "Since you are in the FBI, it is best to let the Little Rock FBI intervene. Their resources are far stronger than your county police."

Jimmy: "Harden has already started to act. No matter what the result is, I owe him a favor."

Justin nodded, "That's why you came back this time, right? Will it affect you? You just joined the FBI."

Jimmy looked down at the wine glass, was silent for a while, and looked up at Justin: "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy. (A friend's best friend, an enemy's worst enemy.) Justin, I can't just leave James' matter like this Leave it alone."

Justin has observed Jimmy for a long time, of course he knows Jimmy's character, "You drink slowly, please." Then he left Jimmy's place to receive other guests.

One of Jimmy's goals for coming here has not been fulfilled, and it seems that intelligence providers have their limits.But it's not in vain. I learned from Justin before that the InterContinental Hotel is already the top organization in the world of underground assassins. If it wasn't for their rewards and their killers' actions, at least some of the suspicions could be ruled out.

The scope of the underworld in the United States is too large. No organization can dominate the rivers and lakes. Apart from the Intercontinental Hotel, there must be many other large and small organizations that have killers and the like to do things. Unless there are clear clues, it will be difficult. Find out which organization did it.

After two drinks, Jimmy left the bar and went back to rest. Now is not the time to find girls for entertainment, he is really not in the mood.

The next day, before Jimmy had time to leave the hotel, Harden's call came.

Harden: "Jimmy, did you contact someone?"

Jimmy was confused: "What are you talking about? Who did I contact?"

Harden: "Come to the office, as soon as possible."

Jimmy hung up the phone in confusion, dressed and left the hotel, stopped by to buy breakfast, and came to the FBI office.

Harden: "Jimmy, it's really a big mess this time. Have you contacted anyone in the past two days? Ask for support."

Jimmy shook his head: "No, I'm in Little Rock, who else can I find?"

Harden: "Our supervisor Pete just found me and asked me to cooperate with you to investigate the case of James being shot."

Jimmy blinked. Pete, a very familiar name, he thought for a while. For the FBI director, the person who can contact this level should be Lambert. Unexpectedly, Lambert just heard the reason for his leave. I took my own vacation, and also helped to contact the supervisor of Little Rock.

Jimmy: "No matter who contacted, we should have enough people to analyze the previous clues by now."

Harden: "Well, no problem. The two monitoring teams have been notified. They will investigate together. Let's wait for their news."

Jimmy nodded, "Have you had breakfast? I brought an extra."

Harden and Jimmy came to the tea room together, made two cups of coffee, and waited for the results from the monitoring team while having breakfast.

Harden's phone rang. He took a look and connected, "Is there any result?" "OK, let's go right away."

Harden hung up the phone and said to Jimmy: "Let's go, the white van has an approximate range, let's go to the scene to have a look."

Jimmy nodded, and the two of them left the tea room with a half-eaten burger, "Wait a minute, Harden, help me apply for a body armor. I came in a hurry this time, so I brought nothing but a revolver." pistol."

Harden nodded, turned and walked to the equipment room, a body armor, an M4A1 and three magazines, which Harden applied for for Jimmy.

Jimmy looked at the M4A1 in his hand. He used to use the M16 for rifles. This was the first time he used the M4A1 when he was dispatched. It was not a big problem. Although he didn't use it much, he had played with it a few times in the shooting range.

Jimmy put the rifle in the trunk, and put the body armor directly in the co-pilot's seat, so that it can be used directly in a while.

I drove with Harteng to the east of Little Rock, near the airport. The place is already very remote. Harden parked the car on the side of the road, and Jimmy also stopped and walked over.

Harteng took out a map, "This intersection is the last place where the white van was seen, and there are about 4 blocks between the intersection with the camera behind it, within this distance may be where they parked, we can only I went to find it myself."

Jimmy looked at the map. This is a small industrial area mixed with residential areas. It is not easy to find a van in this kind of place. This kind of van should be common in the factory area.

Jimmy and Harden divided their respective directions, drove away from the intersection, and began to check.For safety, Jimmy and Harden have put on body armor with the words FBI, and the badge has been hung around their necks.

The area Jimmy is in charge of is a residential area in front of it, about two streets away, and a factory area in the back. He drives slowly on the side of the road and moves as close as possible to the houses next to him. The houses here are all one-story houses, and of course they are not like villas. It's very big there, most of the family's vehicles are parked directly on the side of the road or in front of the house, and a few can see the garage in the backyard, but the distance is a problem, Jimmy can see the situation behind the house.

After searching for two streets, he didn't find a van. Jimmy drove to the factory at the end of the road. He got out of the car, went to the security room at the door, took out his ID and flashed it, "FBI agent, can you call your security guard?" Supervisor?"

A security guard stared blankly at Jimmy wearing FBI body armor, nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and was about to make a call, but he put it down again, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After a while, a man in a suit came to the gate. He reached out to shake Jimmy's hand, "I'm Donna, the security director here. What's the matter?"

Jimmy: "FBI Agent Jimmy, I'm chasing a car in question, can I see the surveillance video at the gate of your factory?"

Donald: "Just to see?"

Jimmy: "Well, a white van, the evening before yesterday."

Downer: "OK, come in, the monitoring center is over there."

Jimmy checked the monitor smoothly, and he found a white van passing by the factory gate, but the monitoring angle here is wrong, and the license plate is not clear.Jimmy asked for a copy, but was directly rejected. Fortunately, as long as there is a vehicle passing by, video recording is not necessary, so Jimmy didn't force it.

Continuing along the road, there is no surveillance road ahead. Jimmy really hates this era. If 20 years later, cameras are everywhere, and almost every car has a driving recorder, it will be so troublesome.

The phone rang, and Jimmy answered, "Jimmy, come to me, there is a suspicious car here."

Jimmy speeded up and drove towards Harden. When he arrived at the scene, he found a van parked on the side of the road. Although the size and style were the same, the color of the van was not white, but a black background, with the company logo sprayed on it.

Harden: "Come closer and smell it."

Jimmy got closer and smelled it, and there was a clear smell of spray paint. It didn't look like it had been sprayed for a long time. Looking inside the car with his eyes, it was also empty.Harden led Jimmy forward for a while, gesturing to an auto repair shop on the side of the road.

They were still some distance away from the repair shop, and the two came to the side of the road to avoid possible sight from the repair shop.

Harden: "I went around here, and the most suspicious thing is this repair shop. The van just now is probably the one we are looking for."

Jimmy: "Did you check that license plate?"

Harteng: "I checked. The license plate is under the name of a moving company, which is consistent with the sprayed logo on the car. But this is the only thing we found, and we cannot rule out the suspicion directly."

Jimmy looked at the surrounding environment: "You wait for me here, and I will go over there to scout."

Harden held Jimmy back: "Are you sure? It's too dangerous. I'll call the monitoring team over to set up a monitoring point first."

Jimmy: "Don't worry, it's fine."

Jimmy approached the repair shop from the side. Fortunately, except for the open space at the front, there is a closed wall behind the repair shop. Jimmy should not be found when he approaches.

Relying on his mind's observation, Jimmy moved half a circle around the repair shop, except for the front door.

Now the maintenance factory is basically in a state of shutdown, only five people are in the office area, there is no one in the maintenance area, one person is near the gate, and the other 4 are in the office inside. It seems that everything is normal, and Jimmy did not find the wall. Looks like any surveillance probe.

Turning around and looking around, his current location is safe. Early in the morning, there were no people outside, mainly because it was too remote here. Jimmy began to carefully observe the specific situation in the maintenance shop. There was a small basement in the office, and some It's not uncommon for things like boxes to be stored in basements, which are common in the US, especially in Cold War buildings.

No other abnormalities were found, so Jimmy returned to the side of Harden from the original road, "No abnormalities were found, I think it would be better to go directly to them to inquire."

Harteng nodded. Since no abnormalities were found, don't worry, just confirm the ownership of this van. Their purpose is to find the person in the van.

Harden and Jimmy walked over from the front. Jimmy kept observing the reactions of the people inside. Harden walked in front, went directly to the gate, and said to the person next to the door: "FBI Special Agent Harden, Where's your boss?"

"FBI? Wait a minute, I'll go in and look for him." The person at the door turned and entered the office, closing the door behind him.

Harden couldn't see what was going on inside, but Jimmy could. He watched the person walk in, came to a person and said a few words, followed by several people inside and got up, and two of them ran to the innermost The room where Jimmy had scouted happened to be the basement entrance, and the speaker took the pistol from his armpit and followed the man outside.

Jimmy pulled out the revolver directly, held it behind his right hand, and reminded Harden, "Be careful."

But the person inside paused as he approached the door. The person put the pistol behind him, opened the door and came out.A middle-aged white man with no beard, about 40 years old, wearing overalls and some stains on the pants.

"Hi, I'm William, the boss here." William greeted Harden in front of him. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Harden: "FBI Special Agent Harden, I'm chasing a van. I noticed one parked on the side of the road in front of you. Is that yours?"

William walked to the door and looked outside, then turned to Harden: "Well, the customer sent to spray their company's logo, what's the problem?"

Harden: "When was it delivered?"

William: "Sorry, I need to keep our client confidential, we are only responsible for repainting. If you have no other questions, please get back."

After William finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Jimmy said suddenly: "I think you want us to come here with a search warrant, right, William."

William stopped and turned to look at Jimmy. "What do you mean?"

Jimmy had found his gun, in the back pocket, but that pocket was too big for a pistol to be conspicuous.

Jimmy: "Since we've come, we have enough evidence. Asking now is to give you a chance. If you come here with a search warrant, those of you who don't want people to see you, don't want to keep anything."

Jimmy is just cheating. According to the clues they have found so far, let alone a search warrant, there is not even enough reason to go back and bring in rescuers to monitor. It is best to cheat out some information now. If you leave now, you will come back next time It's troublesome.

Another problem is that the people in the room moved too abnormally just now. Until now, the other three people are still staying in the innermost room. They took something out from the basement. It was wrapped in a cylindrical shape. It can be deduced that it should be a weapon bag.

If they really had a problem, after Harden and Jimmy left, they must have scattered, and the next time they came, they might only see a shell.
