North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 453 How to find a reason
After Jimmy returned to New York and held a small three-person meeting with Hughes and Mahone, Hughes still didn't make up his mind to let Jimmy go across the state to do business, so he could only be patient for a while.

But Jimmy's aggrieved feeling didn't last long. That night he received a text message from Tom. Jimmy went out from the apartment and walked to Central Park instead of driving.

Jimmy's apartment is on the Upper West Side, not far from Central Park, and walking is no problem.

On a bench in Central Park, Jimmy sat and waited for a few minutes before Tom arrived and sat next to him.

Tom: "Jimmy, have you thought about taking this opportunity to get out of the CIA?"

Jimmy nodded: "I don't have any special feelings for the CIA. You know, I've been in the police station and the FBI all the time." He was looking at the front, but suddenly turned to look at Tom, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you suddenly Say this?"

Tom: "It's nothing, I've already checked almost everything about this time."

Tom looked around, and there were not many people in Central Park at night, at least there were no people around them, and there were no surveillance cameras or the like.

Tom: "Things start with the Stumbling Block Project. The CIA and a national team cooperated to launch the Stumbling Block Project. This is a secret implementation plan. The main content is to use drugs to enhance the physical and mental strength of agents, and at the same time train them in various skills. Arrange to go abroad to enter the sneak state, and when there is a task, it will be enabled to execute the task.

The drug provider of this plan is a pharmaceutical company, which provides drugs in the development stage, which leads to abnormal conditions such as amnesia and insanity among agents, the best of which is Bourne.

Something happened to Bourne, which was cleared by the company. After that, he returned to New York, entered the Anti-Terrorist Bureau and the training center, and exposed the Black Heather plan, which caused an earthquake in the CIA. It was the news some time ago.

When these things happened, Rick, the head of the National Research and Analysis Team, the sponsor of the stumbling block project, arranged the agent removal plan in order to avoid the exposure of their unfinished drug experiments with agents. , You are being targeted by them.

Judging from the clues obtained so far, it should be arranged by them to ambush you twice before.However, it seems that they stopped the operation after that, and there is no sign of continuing. "

Jimmy: "I don't know them. Is it difficult?" If it wasn't difficult, Tom probably would have done it himself. He has worked a lot for his own killing in the past few years.

Tom shook his head: "It's difficult. They don't have a lot of people, but they have a lot of cooperative agencies. I don't know if there are other secret agents planning to do it. It will take a long time to investigate."

Jimmy: "I believe what you are investigating, but something is wrong with the current situation. I was sniped again a few days ago. In the middle of the night, I got a call from the shooter's cell phone. It was from a lobbying company in Washington DC. There are A staff member is missing, there is a worship room in his home, and now DHS and FBI are suspecting that it is related to my previous serial bombings.”

Tom turned to look at Jimmy, "There's another attack? When did it happen?"

Jimmy reported the time, and Tom shook his head: "They hadn't left the command center at that time, and nine out of ten they arranged it, probably to mislead you."

Jimmy: "I understand, let's keep an eye on them, but I can't tell the bureau about this situation, there are too many things here that have nothing to do with us."

Tom: "No way, I guess you can only handle this matter yourself."

Jimmy looked up at the sky. The sky in New York was not as clear as it was in Little Rock, and the moon and stars would have some virtual edges.

Jimmy: "Hey, it's hard to deal with. Unless I abandon my current identity and act on my own, there is no way for me to discuss these things openly with them."

Tom patted Jimmy's thigh, "It's up to you. If you decide to give up revenge, I think I can find someone to talk to over there."

Jimmy shook his head: "It's not in my character to give up revenge, let me think about it."

Tom picked up the briefcase in his hand and put it on his lap, opened it and took out a folder and handed it to Jimmy, "This is some information I found. If you really don't want to give up, take it back and have a look. Remember to destroy it .”

Jimmy: "Okay, I think this may not be done right away, if they don't stop attacking me, then I can take it slowly, if they don't stop, I think even if I go to jail, I will kill them right away. "

Tom shook his head: "I don't think it will be for the time being. They have been arranging all tasks in a command center under the Ministry of Defense before. They have been evacuated from there two days ago."

Jimmy: "Okay, thank you, Tom, for taking so long about my business."

Tom didn't speak, but was in a daze, and Jimmy was also waiting.

Tom: "I think it's almost time for me to retire."

Jimmy: "Are you going back to Kentucky?"

Tom: "No, I'll probably go to Florida to retire, see."

Jimmy: "Why don't you go to Little Rock first? James misses you a lot."

Tom: "Let's talk. I'll go back first."

Tom picked up his briefcase and stood up. After taking two steps, he stopped. Jimmy looked at him and asked, "Anything else?"

Tom turned back to the bench and sat down. He looked at Jimmy: "I told you before that your mother is Veronica Durand, do you remember? Are you interested in learning about her family? Is it?"

Jimmy nodded, "Of course, I have inherited this identity, so I can understand them and avoid accidents later."

Tom nodded and relayed to Jimmy what his teacher Mrs. Waltz had said. "There is no evidence but only speculation. I think maybe I should tell you that Veronica's death may not be the death of illness we thought. Considering the death of her father's family, this possibility is very high."

Jimmy is a little confused, why is there a conspiracy theory, and what the hell is this broken identity?The front was passively entered and cleared, and now there is another person who is staring at their family and hunting them down?

Jimmy: "How did Jimmy die before that? Could it be that Greg you said did it?"

Tom shook his head: "I'm not sure now, because when I perform tasks, I'm alone, and I just know the result. In short, I've already said what I know, and the rest is up to you. "

Jimmy nodded. "Thanks, Tom. Without you, I might never know these things again."

Tom sighed: "Okay, that's all, I'm going back. You don't need to contact me recently, I will walk around, and I will notify you when I make a decision."

Jimmy: "Okay, have a good trip."

-

Jimmy went back to look at the information, and put it aside for now. Tom investigated in great detail. These contents are very troublesome for Jimmy now. The main reason is that there is no way to make them public, and there is no way to turn the direction of Mahone's investigation.

During working hours, Jimmy came to the office early, and today he wanted to find time to chat with Hughes and Mahone. Now their goal was wrong, but Jimmy didn't plan to say it, it would have too much impact, and he didn't know what would happen later.

He wanted them to agree to go to New Mexico to investigate Scott, who was behind the attack in the first place.

But Jimmy hadn't had time to tell Hughes and Mahone that two DHS agents had come to Mahone.

DHS agents proposed to return to Washington DC after describing the progress of the current investigation. The current clues are not enough to support the investigation of Noor, the mastermind of the bombing. At the same time, the investigation of the missing lobby company employees has also come to a standstill. They continue here It doesn't make sense either.

Mahone also felt quite surprised, he asked the agents to wait, and then went to Hughes.After thinking about it, Hughes agreed. After the DHS agents left, Hughes called Jimmy and the others for a meeting.

Hughes: "The attack has been going on for a long time from the beginning to now. We can't spend all our time on this case indefinitely. Now the information given by DHS confirms that the subsequent attack was carried out by Noor Mohammad. , then it won’t be resolved for a while, so I think we’d better put it aside for a while and deal with normal cases first.”

Mahon nodded. This case made him very tired. There was no direct evidence for this series of assaults. They all relied on a little piece of clues for investigation, and even many clues were obtained by Hughes through personal relationships. Whether it is true or not needs to be checked, and the mental pressure is very high when dealing with clues.

Jimmy: "Hughes, I want to go to New Mexico."

Both Hughes and Mahone looked at Jimmy, Jimmy: "Scott's family in Albany said he was in Los Angeles, but the phone location showed him in Albuquerque, plus Aztec on the border, I suspect this Scott is That white glove of the MP, the mastermind of the first two attacks."

Hughes looked at Ma Hong: "Ma Hong, what do you think?"

Mahon: "There is not enough reason."

Hughes: "Jimmy, do you have to go?"

Jimmy nodded, Hughes thought for a while, "You need a reason."

Jimmy: "There was one person who was not caught in the last Sisley Prison escape, Cameron Brown. There has been no news since he escaped."

Hughes nodded, "I just need a reason, you can figure it out yourself."

Jimmy looked at Mahone, and Mahone nodded: "There is no need to worry in the bureau, but the reason needs to be able to withstand scrutiny. You will not forget about the OPR, right?"

Jimmy: "I understand, then I'll deal with it."

The three of them were talking in Hughes' office, and they didn't pay much attention to anything, there were no outsiders.

Jimmy left Hughes' office and began to think about how to arrange it.

On the southwest side, I seem to know someone. The most southern states to choose from are Little Rock and Dallas. I have never been to New Mexico.

Jimmy regretted it. He should have told Tom earlier that he was in charge of that part of the business before, so he would be more or less familiar with him.

Jimmy calculated the resources in his hands, but he really couldn't figure out who should come forward.Jimmy thought about it, and gritted his teeth. Forget it, send Tom a message first, and wait for his reply. If it doesn't work, ask Winston for help. He must have some obvious resources that can be used.

After figuring out the plan, Jimmy sent a text message to Tom's cell phone, and then threw the bearer cell phone into the drawer and waited.

The case was temporarily suspended, and Mahone and the others had been busy for a long time. Jimmy thought about it and invited everyone to sit and have a drink at the bar.Of course Mahone and Felicia had nothing to say, Jimmy went out to find other people, and then called Woody and asked him to reserve a table.

Yes, the bar has already been taken down. When Jimmy was shot and stayed in the hotel, the negotiations on the transfer of the bar had been completed. Witnessed by the lawyer, Jimmy signed the transfer agreement with the original owner and successfully took over the bar.

The biggest contributor to this negotiation is Diego Isaac, the bar manager candidate recommended by Justin. Jimmy only participated in the final signing. He basically communicated in the early stage. Of course, Woody also contributed a lot. The ghost is hated by everyone. Yes, of course, if you help yourself, then you are a hero.

After get off work, several people drove out of the office, went to the restaurant next to Jimmy's apartment for dinner, and then came to the bar.

Woody: "Boss, good evening."

Jimmy waved his hand: "I invite my colleagues to have a drink or two, you can prepare it."

When Isaac heard that Jimmy had arrived, he also came out to toast everyone, left his business card and returned it.

Jimmy picked up the wine glass: "Thank you for your hard work in investigating my case during this time, and I would like to offer a toast to everyone."

Not many people came today. Hughes, Ruiz, Peter, Mahone, and Felicia, except for Peter, have recently delayed a lot of normal work because of Jimmy, and they are worried. Now the case Paused, a drink or two is just enough to relax.

Peter: "Jimmy, does this bar belong to you?"

Jimmy smiled and nodded: "It's right next to my apartment, and I usually come here a lot. This time, the former boss just left New York, so I just took it. It's not much money, and it won't lose money. Woody is very Great bartender, you can have a drink or two when you have nothing to do."

Everyone also had a strange smile on their faces. Everyone here knows that Jimmy is a rich man among detectives, with an annual income of 80 yuan. A normal junior detective only earns tens of thousands of yuan a year, and even a senior detective only earns 10,000+ a year. .

Of course, everyone here does not belong to the category of ordinary detectives. Although there are not as many as Jimmy, they are not poor people.

But Jimmy's behavior of buying the bar directly because of the frequent visits is really unbearable, damn rich.

After having a drink, Jimmy greeted Woody to bring over another drink, and several of them chatted separately.Jimmy sat next to Hughes, "Hughes, it may take a long time to go out this time, OPR..."

Hughes: "You can control the degree yourself, don't go too far. In addition, I remind you that the reason must be able to withstand scrutiny."

Jimmy: "Well, I'm trying to figure out a way. I'm just worried about whether it will affect people in our office."

Hughes: "Don't worry, don't think so much, I haven't retired yet."

Hughes picked up the glass and touched Jimmy, and then greeted everyone: "I won't stay here, don't drink too much."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Hughes left.Well, the boss was really uncomfortable when he was around, and the rest were senior agents and supervisory agents, and they were all acquaintances, so there was no pressure.

-

Several people went back after drinking. When Jimmy got home, he contacted Thorsten in DEA's Dallas office. He had provided information on Azt's second-in-command, Tim Spark, but Jimmy didn't have time to go there. .

This time it is mainly because Azt may be involved, so make an appointment, and then we will meet and have a good chat.

When Torsten received the call, he also agreed casually, and just give him a call in advance when he goes.

After 12 o'clock in the evening, Tom finally called back, and Jimmy briefly explained the situation, and Tom left a mobile phone number and name for him, and he can contact Jimmy directly when he arrives.

Sure enough, it was the supervisor who was in charge of the southwest business back then, and he really had a lot of resources in his hands.But the only bad thing is that this person can't give him a reason to go to the southwest.
