North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 437
Hughes was still a little concerned about Thomas' situation. After waiting for a few days without any news, he investigated Thomas' information from the system, wrote it down, and found someone who had nothing to do with the FBI to investigate what happened to him.

However, the result was very bad. Thomas had disappeared for a few days. His neighbors said that he had not been home for several days. His phone had been turned off, and his family could not be contacted.

When Hughes got the news, he also felt a little unbelievable. The middleman is not a small role. This kind of person must have credibility, status, ability, and be recognized by all parties. Such a person just disappeared?Although many people disappear in the United States every year, it is hard not to think of some bad things when such a person disappears at this time.

Josh, Thomas said that the investigation of Jimmy by the OPR should be related to him. Hughes thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up the simplest official investigation, but asked acquaintances to help investigate.In addition, he also obtained Thomas's mobile phone historical location information from some channels. If there is no accident, he may be able to find some clues.

The ghost Derek has already confessed, and the contact person has also confessed to a person, but unfortunately, with an anonymous mobile phone number, he has no way to contact that person other than paying in cash.

Although there is still no progress, this can't stop Hughes from blaming Thomas' line. You must know that he came to contact him at the time. Although he only gave a name, it must be something he had to do. .

You should know that he contacted Hughes, the assistant detective director of the FBI's Manhattan office, who is in charge of all field agent operations. Although he doesn't look as powerful as those directors of the XX Bureau, he is also the real power director of a powerful unit.

He would rather not say anything, and it is impossible to tell a lie to prevaricate Hughes. Once found out, he may have to bid farewell to his career, and don't want to be a middleman again.

Now it's time to wait for the results of the investigation. Once Thomas' death is confirmed, that Josh will be the next target, and maybe it's time to synchronize the cause and effect with Jimmy.

Hughes found that he was a little too timid in dealing with this matter. He wondered if he was approaching retirement, getting older and soft-hearted.

While at work, Jimmy received a message from Woody, the bartender at the bar near the apartment, inviting him to sit in the bar at night. Jimmy thought about it, and it seemed that nothing happened. Just returned the message to confirm.

Jimmy hasn't been to the bar for a while, mainly because there are too many things to do, and it's more dangerous recently, and he can't touch alcohol if he can't touch it. If anything happens, it's over.

Now that the inner ghost has been caught and the people from Azt have been killed, the danger is temporarily lifted, so there should be no problem.

After get off work, Jimmy drove back to the bar after dinner, and Woody was standing at the bar in his bartender suit wiping glasses.Well, it’s similar to Justin in Little Rock. Every time I see him at the bar, he basically wipes the glasses with a cloth in his hand. It seems that there is a different dimension in the bar, and the glasses are endless.

Jimmy sat in front of the bar and knocked on the bar: "Hey, Woody, give me a drink."

When Woody saw Jimmy coming, he put down the wine glass in his hand, took the shaker from the side and started to work. He has known Jimmy for a long time, and Woody knows Jimmy's taste.After a while, a glass of Black Russia was placed in front of Jimmy.

Woody: "Black Russia, it's an aperitif for you, I added lemon juice."

Jimmy raised his glass to signal, and then took a small sip. After the ice cubes were chilled, the combination of the spicy vodka base wine and a little bit of lemon sour taste was very good. Of course, this was also because Jimmy was used to drinking whiskey before.

Jimmy: "It tastes good. Woody, what's the matter?"

Woody: "Long time no see, how are you doing?"

Jimmy shrugged: "You know my profession, sometimes I don't care about anything when I'm busy."

Woody: "Actually, it's just to say hello to you in advance. I may not be here in a while."

Jimmy stared at Woody with wide eyes: "Why? Do you want to go back to your hometown?"

Woody shook his head: "No, it's just that this place may be closed after a while."

Jimmy looked at Woody, waiting for him to continue, but Woody had already turned to greet the customer next to him.Jimmy picked up the glass and drank the wine. If such an excellent bartender were not here, the place where he drank after get off work would have to be changed.

Woody is really good. He has been a bartender for many years. He has all kinds of wine at his fingertips, and he can also create some cocktails that suit the atmosphere according to the situation. For example, Jimmy and Nia came here for the first time When drinking, the "true love" that Woody sent over was his own creation. Unfortunately, Jimmy tried to steal it a few times later, but he didn't learn it, because many of the wines Woody put on the bar were not labeled.

After a while, Woody finished his work, poured himself a glass of ice water, and touched Jimmy, "I'm a bit busy today, what did I say?"

Jimmy: "Are you going back to your hometown?"

Woody: "Oh, no, there seems to be something on the boss's side. He plans to close the bar and transfer the liquor license."

Jimmy frowned: "The business of this store is very good, why?"

Woody sighed, "I don't know, it's just that the boss seldom came here a while ago, and he chatted with some of our old employees a few days ago, that's when he knew that this place is about to close."

Jimmy smacked his mouth, "It's a pity, I don't know where to drink after you left. Not everyone can make so many delicious wines. Toast."

Woody also shrugged: "It's okay to close it, just to take a break. I've been busy for so many years, maybe I can go around."

As time went by, more and more guests came to the bar, Jimmy and Woody could only chat occasionally, most of the time he had to entertain customers with other bartenders, Jimmy had two drinks and said goodbye to Woody , left the bar.

Standing at the door of the bar, Jimmy looked at the crowds around him. In the bars on the Upper West Side, there are not so many bad things here, and there are more customers. It's really a good place to open a shop, but it's a pity.

When he got home, Jimmy checked his phone and made sure there was nothing wrong, so he went to wash and prepare to rest, and watched TV on the bed to kill time.

-

The next day at work, Jimmy just got out of the elevator when he saw Hughes sitting on the sofa at the front desk. Seeing Jimmy coming, he reached out and waved, then got up and took Jimmy back into the elevator without saying a word. The two came to the parking lot.

Hughes took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Jimmy, "Jimmy, take this to the Anti-Terrorist Agency. I have already contacted Director Watson, you give it to him, and then bring the information back."

Jimmy nodded. The first thing Hughes said from upstairs to now was to let him go out. It seemed that the matter was not small, and he was very sensitive. He didn't look for him in the office, but stayed at the front desk.

Re-boarding the car, Jimmy drove directly out of the parking lot to the Anti-Terrorist Bureau. This note contained a phone number. It seems that Hughes didn't even need to communicate on the phone in order to keep it secret. He wanted to use Jimmy, who had dealt with the Anti-Terrorist Bureau several times. It is estimated that people will deal with it, which is a big trouble.

Jimmy came to the Anti-Terrorist Bureau. He has been here many times and is familiar with the road. After contacting the front desk and registering, Jimmy went up by himself.In fact, Jimmy needs to register every time he comes here, and he needs to contact the people above to confirm his identity and whether he has an appointment. It's not so easy to go up. Anyway, this is a highly confidential institution.

As soon as Jimmy got out of the elevator, he saw a few people standing at the door of the elevator and was about to rush into the elevator, "Wow! Be careful." Jimmy dodged and hid aside, waiting for the people outside to enter the elevator before he squeezed in from the side. out.It looked like there was an emergency operation, and Jimmy didn't have the heart to scold. He watched the elevator close before he turned and walked towards Watson's office.

Before reaching Watson's office, Watson and Kerry had already come out of the office, wearing windbreakers while walking.

Jimmy greeted quickly: "Hi, Director Watson, Director Hughes asked me to..."

Watson waved his hand: "Stop, we'll talk later! Wait here for me." He walked out without stopping, while Kerry turned and walked towards the command center, completely ignoring Jimmy's intentions.

Jimmy sighed helplessly. When Hughes contacted Watson, he certainly didn't think that Watson's director had something urgent to go out. What should we do now?You can't just ask Kerry to help with the investigation, can you?
Fortunately, Jimmy is already familiar with the environment here. The conference room next to the command center is usually empty, just for taking a rest.

Jimmy sat in a daze in the conference room, not knowing when Director Watson would come back, and judging from the situation just now, their business seemed very important.

You must know that Watson is the director of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau. The people you met in the elevator at the beginning can be said to be working. Shouldn’t he be a supervisor in the command center watching the surveillance and commanding remotely?Why come out in person?

The last time we were engaged in boxing, Watson was still in the command center. They had already applied for foreign aid and lost a few agents. Is this serious enough?But at that time Watson didn't do it himself, it was completely controlled by remote control.

This time it turned out to be more serious than the last time the top secret agent defected. I really can't imagine what happened.

Jimmy has been thinking about it, and suddenly remembered something, Jason Bourne, met him in Paris before, but that was two years ago, right?I still have a little impression of the movie, but I really can't remember the time. Could it be that he appeared?

Try to recall, it seems that there is indeed a scene where Jason Bourne appears in New York, but I really can't remember the plot.If Bourne really arrived in New York, then their nervousness seemed to explain it clearly.

Jimmy got up and stood at the door of the meeting room, looking towards the command center. Noah's deputy, Kerry, was in the command center. The soundproofing of that room was good, and he couldn't hear what was said inside, let alone Jimmy was a little far away from there. Yes, and because of the angle, Jimmy could only see part of the people in the command center, not even the monitors on the wall.

Jimmy took a few steps back, and continued to look at the command center with his mind eye. He had already determined which figure was Kerry, and it was a pastime to observe and guess what they were doing with his mind eye. It was more interesting than staring at the ceiling in a daze.

While observing, Jimmy wondered about Bourne, whether it would be of any benefit to him if he intervened.

I already knew from Tom that Bourne is Jimmy's senior. Jimmy's biggest problem lies in the secret files of the CIA. If Bourne really shows up in New York, will they investigate the original agent information and use the agent Against agents?

If an agent is to be arranged to assassinate Bourne, in addition to the existing agents of the Anti-Terrorist Bureau, it is very likely that he, an agent lurking in the country, will be activated.

It's just that the CIA's cell phone is still in the state of disassembling the battery, lying in his safe, eating ashes, they must not be able to contact him.I was worried that they would not be able to contact them to investigate their own information. It is very likely that they could find out from the information that he used to be a policeman and later entered the FBI. According to the cross-comparison of the information, his identity can be easily determined, and then contacted to forcibly activate it.

Of course, this kind of possibility can only be said to exist, and it does not necessarily happen. Moreover, if they want to find themselves in such a situation, the data they need to investigate will definitely not be small. There is no need to enable it.

Tom has disappeared for a long time, has never appeared, and has no contact. If he didn't know his hidden ability, Jimmy was really worried that he would have died.Jimmy is really convinced of Tom's make-up skills. Every time he sees him in New York, he always looks different, and they are all very similar. If you don't observe carefully, you can't find any abnormalities.

Now that Jimmy is facing the possibility of being exposed, and Tom can't be found, he really has a guilty conscience.Jimmy is really not too worried about what tasks he will do after being activated, but his FBI identity on the surface is his real identity now. According to the CIA's pissing nature, it is likely to be a murder mission again, so I am not interested. ah.

You can't say you want to quit the CIA after being activated, what if they arrange an assassination team to kill you?Killing too much by myself, it would be too miserable to arrange a nationwide arrest for a murderer or something. For the CIA, you must not bet on their lower limit, because they really have no lower limit.

After waiting for a while, Jimmy suddenly found a person appeared in the range of his mind. He was not walking normally, but rather sneaky and looked in all directions.

There was something wrong with this person. Judging from his position, he should have come from the fire exit next to him, and he was obviously not familiar with this place, as if he had been looking for something.

The target of Jimmy's attention was changed from Kerry in the command center to this person. He quietly turned around, because Watson took too many people away when he went out just now. Now this floor except the command center, other offices There are basically not many people here.

When this person appeared on the side of the command center, Jimmy smiled, it really was you.

Bourne approached the command center from the side, then stuck a stick in the doorknob, then walked away and circled into Director Watson's office.

Jimmy observed his actions the whole time, but after thinking a lot about it just now, Jimmy decided not to participate in this matter. No matter what Bourne does now, it has nothing to do with him. He is just a melon-eating crowd waiting for others in the conference room.

Jimmy changed his position and came to the middle of the conference room, where he couldn't even see the outside of the command center. When they came to investigate later, he could say nothing, because he couldn't see it here.
