North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 294 There is indeed a problem

Jimmy didn't sleep for too long, he woke up before dawn, but he didn't wake up naturally, but suddenly felt palpitations and was awakened.

Before reaching out to turn on the light, Jimmy reached out to get the revolver from under the pillow, and opened his mind to observe the surroundings. He had already observed the structure inside the house when he moved in. His travel bag and toolbox were placed in the The bedside and other parts were carefully inspected, and nothing wrong was found.

Jimmy sat up from the bed and looked over the wall to the neighbors on the left and right. There seemed to be nothing unusual. Someone was lying on the bed, and there was no one else in the room.

I didn't see anyone moving in the corridor outside. It's strange. What's the matter with this palpitation?

Jimmy reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. To be on the safe side, he took his clothes and pants and put them on, and then began to move slowly around the room, checking his things, making sure that toolboxes and travel bags were placed inside the house, and that there were also Nothing out of the ordinary.

Jimmy stood by the bed, frowning, and glanced at the watch on the bed. It's only 2 o'clock in the morning. What's going on?It was the first time in a long time that Jimmy woke up to palpitations, never before.

It was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the surrounding rooms and corridors. Jimmy turned and sat on the bed, his eyes were wandering left and right, and he continued to check the surrounding area. After waiting for a few minutes, he still didn’t see any abnormalities. Ready to sleep naked, just lean against the head of the bed and take a rest.

The first time he had heart palpitations, he was still a little flustered. He had heard of this kind of sixth sense feeling before. Usually, something happened and it was closely related to him, such as what happened to him or his relatives. What's the matter, but in this world, I don't have any relatives, so something will happen to me?

Jimmy didn't turn off the light, and kept holding the revolver in his right hand. He wondered what had to do with him to give him this sixth sense. He really couldn't figure it out. The lights, too, look too unusual from the outside.

Leaning against the head of the bed and squinting for a while, Jimmy opened his eyes again. He had something on his mind, and he couldn't even squint for a while, and his mind couldn't calm down.Jimmy activated his mind to observe the surroundings again, and it was still the same. It has been more than ten minutes since he woke up from the palpitations just now, and he has not found anything abnormal, but this normality makes Jimmy more and more nervous.

His spirit gradually became tense, and Jimmy couldn't bear it anymore. He got up and turned on the light, took out the body armor from the travel bag and put it on, hung the FBI badge around his neck, held the revolver in his right hand, and 6 rounds of bullets in his left hand. Open the door and look out.

At around 3:[-] in the morning, there were no street lights except for the signboard of the motel and a light at the door. The weather was not very good today, the clouds were relatively thick, and the moonlight did not illuminate much.

Jimmy tried his best to look outside, but there was nothing abnormal. It seemed that he was too nervous. Even if something happened, it should not be here. Nothing happened for nearly an hour, so it should be nothing.

Jimmy retreated to the house, closed the door, put on the safety lock, put on the body armor and lay down directly on the bed, turned off the lights and continued to rest.

At dawn in the morning, the sound of cars on the road woke Jimmy up. He got up and looked at the room. Everything was normal. It seemed that he had been busy at night. Shaking his head, he took off his body armor and went to the bathroom to clean up.

After tidying up, Jimmy moved all his things into the trunk of Crown Victoria just like moving a house. He didn't plan to check out, but he was worried and had to take it with him.

First, I went to the nearby restaurant to buy a hamburger and a cup of coffee. Jimmy finished eating by the side of the car, and then went into the restaurant again to pack a lunch. Today’s plan is to check all the remaining crime scenes. Running back and forth wasting time, Jimmy decided to have a picnic by the river at noon.

Driving to the Red River, this is where the second case occurred, but it has been a few months, even the boat has been pulled away, and there is nothing here.

Jimmy looked around as usual, and he could tell that there were a lot of people here, and there were many traces of bonfires by the river. It seemed that there were a lot of people camping here this summer, but none of them had any accidents.

Looking at the Red River in front of him, Jimmy couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He didn't think about it before coming here. It would be great if he came here with a fishing rod. The environment here is very suitable for fishing to kill time.

When we came to the location of the third case, we did the same thing, but still didn't find anything underground. Jimmy stood here and looked around.From the position of the third case, the positions of the previous two cases can be seen, and Jimmy suddenly felt that this angle seemed a bit problematic.

Taking a branch, Jimmy drew a topographical map and the location of the case on the ground. He always felt awkward. He seemed to have some idea but couldn't put it into words.

Clapping his hands, Jimmy stood up, got back in the car, and drove back to the town police station.

Jimmy: "Sheriff Chad, do you have a map of the neighborhood here? The scale should be more accurate."

Chad looked at Jimmy who came back in a hurry, and it seemed that he went to the scene to investigate. Even though he was wearing jeans, he could still see the dirt on his pants.

Chad nodded, and took out a map of the town from the side cabinet. Jimmy took the map to the empty table in the lobby, took out three bullets from his pocket and placed them at the scene of the crime. From this accurate map, it can be seen that The relationship between these three points comes out. Except for the second one on the river bank, the other two locations seem to be about the same distance from the river. Because the Red River has a corner here, I haven’t found it before. At the corner of the De River, he stretched out his hand and gestured. The distance between the two places and the corner of the river was basically the same.

According to this distance, Jimmy also gestured towards the woods on the right, and took another bullet and placed it in a position in the woods.

Jimmy yelled, "Sheriff Chad, please come here."

Chad came out of the office and walked over to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Look at this location. Did the person who disappeared in the fourth forest disappear here?"

Chad took a look and shook his head: "Aikins, the missing person is from our town, and his name is Akins. I didn't mark the location of his wooden house before. This one needs to go to the scene to see it, but it is true In this wood."

Jimmy nodded, he put away the bullets on the map, "Let's go to this place to confirm in the afternoon." Chad nodded and returned to his office.

Jimmy went out to take out the camping lunch from the car, finished eating in the police station, and sat down on the chair.There were only three people in the police station, Chad was in charge of the police station, and the other two took turns to patrol, so Jimmy didn't see other police officers these two days.

While squinting, one came in from the outside, "Who are you?"

Jimmy opened his eyes and sat up straight, "FBI Agent Jimmy Yang, you must be Nora."

The policewoman Nora nodded, and turned around to go to Chad's office. Jimmy was awakened, and he didn't continue to squint. He got up and went to the next bathroom to deal with private matters, washed his face, and came out to find Chad and Nora standing together. It's next to his desk.

Jimmy: "Sheriff Chad, what's the matter?"

Chad: "This is Nora. Let's go investigate the cabin in the woods this afternoon. How are you preparing?"

Jimmy: "You can go anytime."

Chad: "Then let's go now."

The three of them went out and drove three cars to the woods along the dirt road north of the town.The range of this woods is not too big. Stopped the car on the side, checked the direction, and the three of them went directly into the woods. After walking more than ten meters, they saw a place where wood was being collected. A clearing has been cut out, and a frame has been erected on a big tree. Here is the tree house that the missing Akins is building.

Jimmy walked around the tree house and began to observe the surrounding environment with his mind. Because the exact location of Akins' disappearance was unclear, Jimmy needed to explore a relatively large area. After an hour, Jimmy finally left the woods , but he didn't find anything unusual.

Jimmy got out of the woods and compared the distances around him. He took out the map from the car and remarked the location of the tree house on it. It was about the same distance from the Red River as the other two cases, but because it was done by hand There are many errors in the distance of gestures.

Looking at the map, Jimmy scratched his head a little, thought for a while, and called Agent Lei.

Ray: "Jimmy, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Ray, I want to ask, can you apply for an aerial photo?"

Lei was silent, what's going on?What case is Jimmy working on that calls for aerial photos?
Ray: "Why?"

Jimmy: "I'm dealing with several related disappearance cases, but there is no complete map of the terrain here. I need to take pictures from the air to determine the terrain here."

Lei: "I'll call you later." After speaking, Lei hung up the phone, and immediately called Supervisor Lambert.

The two chatted for a few words, but Lambert didn't refuse, and arranged directly.

Ray called Jimmy again, "Lambert agreed, please report the coordinates."

Jimmy: "Great, thanks, Ray. By the way, how long does it take to take the aerial photos?"

Lei: "If it's urgent, take a few hours."

Jimmy: "OK, I'm in Tata Town on the state border. Please take the photos and send them to the Tata Town Police Station."

Ray: "I see."

Jimmy called Chad and they returned to the police station together. The on-site investigation actually yielded nothing. Jimmy had already checked all the woods with his heart. If there was anything special, he would definitely find it. However, neither Chad nor Jimmy Find.

Jimmy is now waiting for the aerial photos to confirm his judgment. This is probably not an ordinary disappearance case, but a supernatural case.

In the evening, there was still no contact, and Jimmy didn't bother to wait any longer, and went straight out of the police station to the restaurant for dinner.Towards the end, a police motorcycle came to Tata Town with its lights and siren on. Jimmy glanced through the window and didn't care. Soon his phone rang.

Jimmy returned to the police station. It turned out that the police motorcycle just now was here to send photos. The aerial photos had been developed and packed in a cylinder. After Jimmy signed for the receipt, the policeman on the motorcycle turned around and returned.

Jimmy returned to his desk, opened the cylinder, and took out a dozen photos from it. According to the coordinates reported by Jimmy, he took a circle around his coordinates for hundreds of meters.

After flattening the photos on the table, they were combined according to the terrain, and some redundant parts were cut off to form a complete map.

Jimmy looked at the photo. The small lake in the north of the town, the Red River, and the woods on both sides were all photographed. The terrain was compared with the map obtained. The map obtained was not accurate and there were still deviations.

Jimmy asked Officer Nora to borrow some red wires. This kind of red wire is used when measuring ballistics. The police station has a lot.Fix the photo on the table with a thumbtack, put the location of the crime on it, and then wrap the red thread. Jimmy took a ruler to measure the distance from the crime location to the Red River, and finally determined that except for the case on the river bank, the other The locations of the three cases were about the same distance from the Red River, and according to the time, the location of Akins' disappearance in the fourth case was the farthest, but the distance gap was not that great.

In addition, I don’t know if it’s a problem with the aerial photos. Jimmy found that the color of the plants near the Red River is a little greener than that in the distance. You can’t see it just by looking at the river. If you compare it with other areas far away from the Red River in the north of Tata Town , which looks unusual here.

Following the color difference of the green plants in the photo, Jimmy redraws a picture. Although it is not a circle, it can still be seen as a roughly regular sector, and the center of the circle is the corner of the Red River.

Jimmy put his pen on the picture, sat down in his chair and began to sigh.

It's over, this case is over. The aerial photos this time fully verified Jimmy's idea. These cases are probably supernatural cases. Judging from the scope that has been drawn so far, there is definitely something special about the corner of the Red River. troublesome stuff.

It would be even better if there are aerial photos taken a few months ago for comparison, but unfortunately, there is no such condition.

Jimmy took a look at the police station, and Chad didn't go back, probably because Jimmy was still there. Jimmy picked up the phone and called Detective Lei again.

Ray: "Jimmy, did you get the photo?"

Jimmy: "Yes, I got it, thank you, Ray."

Lei: "Just receive it, is there anything else?"

Jimmy: "One more small request, can you check for me, are there any previous satellite photos of Tata Town?"

Lei: "Aren't aerial photos enough?"

Jimmy: "I just want to make a comparison. There must be no aerial photos before. For comparison, satellite photos should be easier."

Lei: "I'll check it out, but I don't have much hope, it's too remote over there."

Jimmy: "Thanks, Ray."

Ray is also unlucky. He can’t escape being tortured by Jimmy while recovering at home. He sighed and asked his family to bring the laptop. His authority is enough to check some information. Jimmy is not an agent in the Dallas office, and he has no account to use .

Jimmy tidied up, greeted Sheriff Chad, left the police station and returned to the motel.

Packing up his equipment, Jimmy sat on the bed, leaned against the head of the bed and began to ponder, and finally decided to call Roland. Fortunately, he exchanged numbers when he went to find Roland last time, otherwise he would have to drive again. .

Roland: "This is Idris."

Jimmy: "Roland, this is Jimmy."

Roland: "Jimmy, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Well, I need your help. I'm near the border of Texas and Oklahoma. There are several cases of disappearance here, but according to the existing clues, there should be a supernatural case here."

Roland: "A demon?"

Jimmy: "It's not clear, I can only judge the center of the supernatural event."

Roland: "Jimmy, you can't rely on other people's help for everything, try to handle it yourself, remember what we said? Your Shining should be able to do it."

Jimmy was speechless, he couldn't handle this kind of case independently for the first time.

Jimmy: "But I don't know exactly what's going on here."

Roland: "If there is danger, call for official support. Your FBI has its own team to deal with such incidents."

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll try first. Goodbye, Roland."

Roland: "Goodbye."

Roland hung up the phone and looked at the abandoned house in front of him. It had been a long time since he had been here. The last time he came to this world with Jack Chambers from the Dark Tower world.

Putting away the phone, Roland tidied up his windbreaker and holster, and walked into the house that had been abandoned for many years.

Jimmy hung up the phone and took out the map from his briefcase. Although the map given by the sheriff was found to be inaccurate, Jimmy still drew a circle on the abnormal area found in the photo. Looking at the map carefully, Jimmy still Decided to take a look at the corner of Red River tomorrow during the day.

After locking the door, Jimmy went to take a shower, lay in bed early, and waited for sleep while watching TV.

In the middle of the night, Jimmy was awakened again, still feeling the palpitations. This time, Jimmy had experience. He picked up the revolver from under the pillow and used his mind to check the surrounding environment, but nothing was found. The next room and the front corridor were still very quiet. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Jimmy got up and sat up, remembering his position, then looked north.During the day, it was basically confirmed that a supernatural case happened here, so the palpitations can be explained. The thing that caused the palpitations should be at the corner of the Red River in the north.
