North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 376 New Clue?

Jimmy and Paul returned to the equipment storage. They should have continued according to the plan, but Paul decided to stop training.

Paul: "Forget it, pause, it's completely meaningless to go on like this. Jimmy, tell me the truth, how much is your pistol at 25 meters now?"

Jimmy smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I took the test. The firearms test before graduation from Quanti Academy of Sciences is full marks."

Paul nodded, "It can be seen that you are really accurate, all of us were shot in the head. Damn talent, how did you practice it?"

Jimmy shook his head: "Maybe it's really a talent. I don't usually train for a long time, and I spend most of my time dealing with cases. Before I entered the FBI, I was a county police officer."

Paul looked up in pain and yelled "Ah", then looked at Jimmy and said, "Stop talking, stop talking. This world is too cruel to us ordinary people. I came out of the Marine Corps. You still At such a young age, I really don’t know how far you can reach in the future.”

Jimmy never expected that he would provoke Paul so seriously, "Calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive, put the gun down first."

Paul's team members are already changing their equipment, and Paul is chatting with Jimmy, and the training gun is still in his hand. If this is too exciting, give Jimmy a couple of shots, even though it is a training bullet, it hurts.

Paul put the gun in his hand on the table, and began to take off his body armor and bulletproof helmet. Finally, he was safe, and Jimmy also began to remove the protective gear on his body.

The team did not disband. Paul and Jimmy came to a conference room together. The TV in front was turned on, and the video was displayed and paused. It was the surveillance video of the intersection.

Everyone was seated, and Paul had just started playing the video when Jimmy's phone rang, and after a glance, it was Chuck, "Paul, wait a minute, I'll answer the call."

Jimmy got up and walked out of the conference room while he was connected. It is better not to answer this kind of call in front of them, because he still doesn't know what Chuck will say.

Jimmy: "Chuck, what happened?"

Chuck: "Do you have time? Come to the police station."

Jimmy frowned, as if something was wrong. "I'm not in New York. I'm on a business trip for a few days. What's the matter? Can't I talk on the phone?"

Chuck: "When are you coming back? There are two cases here that may be related to the taxi driver case you're dealing with, but not sure."

Jimmy: "Is there a clear lead to the taxi driver case?"

Chuck: "No, it's just a suspicion. Two homeless men were shot dead in different places, but no one heard the gunshots, and no bullet casings and fingerprints were found."

Jimmy: "I'm in Louisiana now, and I can't go back for the time being. You should investigate first. I'll finish the work here and return as soon as possible. By the way, where is Nia?"

Chuck: "She is following up the kidnapping case with Detective Kimberly Rice. There are not many clues there. Now they are following up the clues provided by the public, hoping to find them as soon as possible."

Jimmy: "I see, I'll be back as soon as possible. Chuck, be careful, if it's the killer who killed the homeless man, something must have happened to him, it's been a while since the last time the taxi driver died gone."

Chuck: "Don't worry about me, come back as soon as possible. If it is determined that the same person did it, the case must be resolved quickly. I suspect that the murderer may have changed his habits and accelerated his killing speed."

Jimmy: "I get it, I'll take care of it. Bye, Chuck."

Chuck: "Goodbye."

Jimmy returned to the conference room with his mobile phone, the video on the TV was still suspended, "Paul, let's get started."

Paul nodded and continued to play the video. This was the first time Jimmy had seen the surveillance video of this battle.This is also a summary meeting. They will review the situation in the video, and at the same time summarize the mistakes and corresponding adjustments in it, so as to avoid the same problem from happening again next time.

This kind of meeting is very boring, especially this time, their biggest mistake is because of the sudden incident. After the first car was hit, the three people in the car were unconscious and temporarily confused because of the airbag, while the second The people in the car got out of the car to fight back, and there was no time to rescue them.

But they were lucky. Because of being attacked suddenly, Jimmy broke out and completely eliminated the several gunmen who appeared on the scene in just one minute, leaving them enough time to rescue their team members. There were no major casualties.

In the video, Jimmy's movements are very clear, from getting out of the car to avoiding counterattacks behind the front tires, then changing positions to kill, and then going behind Paul to kill the rest.Smooth, precise, ruthless shots, without leaving any room, directly killing all gunners, if Jimmy is the enemy, then Paul and the others cannot survive alone, just like today's simulation training.

Although the time for the firefight was very short, they discussed a wide range of topics, such as vehicle itinerary, personnel arrangements, what each person should do when an emergency occurs, and so on.

Jimmy didn't participate in the tactical discussion because he was not a member of SOG. He just talked about his handling logic and ideas at the time of the replay of the battle situation in the early stage. This was also Paul's original idea for asking him to come over. Jimmy's Thoughts and snap judgments of the battlefield are a great addition to their discussions.

When it was all over, Jimmy and Paul left for a late lunch.

Jimmy: "Paul, is there anything else planned?"

Paul said while eating: "Well, besides my team, there is another team on duty. We will rotate these two days, so you may need to participate in two more training sessions."

Jimmy: "Can it be arranged as soon as possible, I may need to return to New York."

Paul stopped and put down his fork. "What happened?"

Jimmy nodded: "I was in charge of a serial murder case before, and now there are new clues. Two homeless men were killed, which may be related to the shooter. I want to go back as soon as possible to continue investigating this case. The shooter seems to have changed the murder. The frequency is too high, he is too dangerous."

Paul thought for a while, "You can talk about the training later, and you can go back as soon as possible. The murderer of this serial murder case can't let him go any longer."

Jimmy frowned: "Didn't you already arrange a training plan? Will it not affect it?"

Paul smiled, "No problem, I will handle it. The case is more important, and we can deal with this kind of training later when we find time."

Jimmy: "Thank you."

Jimmy thought about it, apologized to Paul again, and he decided to fly back to New York the next day.In the afternoon, I played an assault game with Paul and the others, which was the complete end of my trip to Louisiana.

The next day, Jimmy woke up and packed his clothes and boxes. Paul also changed into casual clothes and drove Jimmy away.

Jimmy was anxious to come back, on the one hand, because of his own case, on the other hand, he also wanted to meet with Nia to see the situation there.Although it's not kind to intervene in Rice's case, but, knowing a little more can help Nia to end this unlucky case sooner.

It was already afternoon when we returned to New York. Jimmy ate something, went home and rested for the night, and returned to the FBI office early the next morning.

Jimmy was looking up information in the office, and Hughes led a person directly into the office from the outside.

Hughes: "Jimmy, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to go to Louisiana?"

Jimmy stood up: "Well, I have already been there. I just returned yesterday. There is trouble with NYPD. I'm back to deal with the taxi driver's case."

Hughes frowned, "Well, then you can deal with it as soon as possible."

Hughes brought people to Chris's desk, "Clean up the things here, contact Chris to confirm what needs to be packed and sent back, remember to check, don't take any sensitive data out."

The man nodded without speaking.

Hughes turned his head to look at Jimmy who was looking for information, he didn't know what he was thinking, and then left directly.

Jimmy didn't talk to the person who packed up Chris' supplies. Seeing that Hughes personally brought people over, it was obvious that Hughes attached great importance to Chris.Although Chris has been arranged to retire and he has time to clean up by himself later, Hughes still arranges for people and brings them himself. Jimmy knows that this is not something he can intervene.

Because of the interval, Jimmy reviewed the information again, and then got up and left the office to go to the police station.As for someone in the office tidying up things, well, Jimmy believes that Hughes can bring someone over when he is away, he must be very trustworthy and will not touch Jimmy's things.

Chuck is still in the office, but Nia is not. After returning yesterday, Jimmy called Nia. Unfortunately, at that time, she had already left New York with Detective Kimberly Rice and went to New Jersey. She is not at the police station today. Looks like it won't be coming back for a while.

Jimmy: "Chuck, I'm back. How's it going? Any new leads?"

Chuck: "No, it's a little troublesome this time."

Chuck handed the material he was looking at to Jimmy, and while Jimmy was reading it, Chuck said, "Four days ago, a homeless man in Brooklyn was found dead in his tent. His tent was next to a community park, where There is basically no one patrolling at night, so some scattered homeless people occasionally live there temporarily, but the park ranger does not allow them to live permanently. When the ranger went to drive away the homeless, he was found dead in the tent, with his head and Shot in the chest."

Jimmy listened to Chuck while reading the documents, "Is this the case you mentioned without fingerprints and gunshots?"

Chuck: "Yes, because there is no place where homeless people gather, the nearest homeless tent is also tens of meters away. If someone shoots at this distance, you should be able to hear the gunshots, but no, heard nothing.

The people in the forensics department have checked the tent of the homeless man and the contents inside. There are indeed some fingerprints on it. Apart from the homeless man's own, there are many other fingerprints, but those fingerprints were printed before. From their evaluation Judging by, and not up to date with other fingerprints. "

Jimmy: "What about the second one?"

Chuck: "The second incident was two days ago, but this time it was not in Brooklyn, but in Queens. It was still a homeless man who pitched a tent alone in an alley, and was found by the cleaners, and the situation was the same."

Jimmy opened the file at the back and continued to look. There are also a bunch of photos of the scene, which can easily form a schematic diagram of the scene in his mind, and save him going to the morgue to look at the corpse.

Jimmy suddenly found a little problem: "Chuck, what kind of tent are the two homeless people?"

Chuck was taken aback, and he thought about it: "The ones in Brooklyn are ordinary camping tents, but they are very dilapidated and have a lot of stitches on them. The tents in Queens should be put up manually by homeless people, using iron rods and A frame of wood, covered with plastic sheeting and rags."

Jimmy: "The bullet didn't make a hole outside the tent, did it?"

Chuck: "No, when we investigated the scene, we determined that the shooter opened the tent and shot the people inside."

Jimmy: "From the photos, it is impossible to tell whether they moved before they died, or whether they saw anyone coming. The quilts in these two photos look like they were pulled up by someone, not by themselves after they got up. So the gunman may have approached their tent quietly and opened the tent's curtain without making a sound.

That's not right, homeless people are very alert, if someone approaches their tent, they will definitely wake up if there is any movement.If these tramps hadn't had this alert character, they would have been swallowed up long ago. "

Chuck looked at Jimmy suspiciously: "How do you know so well?"

Jimmy was at a loss for words, as if he accidentally said too much, "Who doesn't have a homeless friend? Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the shooter first. According to the current situation of the photo, after the shooter approached them, it should be similar to pulling the zipper of the tent. The sound of the gunman alarmed them, but it was short, so they had no obvious signs of movement, and the gunman was obviously still searching for something in the tent, and he pulled their quilt away."

Jimmy put the information on Chuck's desk, took out a few photos, put them on the whiteboard next to him, and stuck them with magnets. "Looking at these positions, it's obvious that they didn't reach out and pull them away."

Jimmy is too familiar, because he was a homeless person at the beginning, and when he went to work in a restaurant, he also lived in a tent for a long time in the early stage. In terms of the life traces of the homeless person in the tent alone, there is probably no one in NYPD He has such a wealth of experience.

Jimmy: "Judging from these traces, the shooter did indeed search for something in their tent. As for whether they took anything, there is no way to judge. There are all kinds of things in the homeless tent, and anything is possible. It's just that Why would you kill a homeless man to search for things? Does the murderer have any special hobbies? Or did these two homeless men pick up his things?"

Chuck was still looking at Jimmy. He had seen the scene before, but neither he nor the forensic personnel found anything unusual about the quilt being lifted. They were not familiar with the life of the homeless.How did Jimmy, a young man, know this?life experience?Impossible, how could such a young FBI agent have been a homeless man? The FBI's political investigators are not blind either.

Chuck's mind was completely lost on the case. He found that the young man in front of him seemed a little mysterious. If he didn't have experience, he could tell it just by looking at the photos. He definitely wouldn't believe it.As for Jimmy who doesn't have a homeless friend, nonsense, even if there is a homeless friend, it is impossible to live in a homeless tent, who cares about such things.

Jimmy continued: "From the point of view of the case, the only possible connection between these two cases and the taxi driver case is the pistol with a silencer. As for the lack of fingerprints, disposable gloves can be solved, so if they want to join the case, The conditions are not enough."

Chuck nodded: "If you can't join the case, let's investigate separately. I'm going to check the evidence they recovered later. Do you want to go and see it together?"

Jimmy shook his head: "No, since the relationship may not be big, I will not intervene in your case."

Chuck: "Okay, I'll check again and let you know if I have any other clues."

Jimmy nodded: "Then I'll go back first. I'm going on a business trip for a few days, and I still have a lot of things to deal with."
