North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 618 Closing
The ghost-like smoke dispersed, and Jimmy looked left and right again, then put away the revolver and walked towards Father Rodney.

After the middle-aged man fell to the ground and transformed, Father Rodney had already let go. He had been punched by the middle-aged man before, and now his arm was deformed. It looked like it was at least a fracture, not even a crushing one. There was a possibility of fracture. Another priest also held the dagger in his backhand and walked towards Father Rodney: "Rodney, how are you?"

Rodney said painfully: "My arm is broken, and there should be no other problems. Rivera, go see Cooper, he has withdrawn from the fight before."

Father Rivera knelt down and looked at Rodney's arm, nodded and got up and walked towards the location of the priest Jimmy had seen before. He should be Cooper.

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, what happened?"

Rodney did not answer Jimmy's question, but asked: "Jimmy, why are you here?"

Jimmy: "I was not far nearby when I called before, so I came here. You haven't told me what on earth you are doing?"

Rodney: "Well, it's not easy for you to find him. Thank you for coming, otherwise the three of us would be in trouble this time. No one expected that he would become so powerful in just a few days. "

Jimmy: "Who the hell is this guy?"

Rodney: "This man's name is Oliver Torres, a native of New Haven, Connecticut. He is a cultist. He performed a human sacrifice in New Haven and was discovered by locals. The church arranged for someone to go there after confirming that it was a sacrifice. Investigation, he killed one of our deacons and then fled Connecticut to New York State.

Our people have been tracking his whereabouts, but when there were few people, we couldn't capture him and instead lost manpower, so the three of us were here to intercept him.

Did you find out that your bullets can't penetrate his body? At the beginning, only his right fist was special, and we once tried pistol bullets that couldn't hurt him at all. Only a blessed blade can cut through his body. The skin, just a few days after not seeing him, has already strengthened his hands. Although I don't know what happened, it is very likely that he got something again. "

Jimmy turned his head and glanced at Torres lying on the ground. He was now very thin: "What he looks like now is what he looked like in the beginning?"

Rodney groaned in pain and held his right arm with his left hand. He couldn't hold on anymore and lay directly on the ground: "No, in fact, he is thinner now than before. He was so strong before, so he must have been possessed." Caused by the body. Please help me see how Rivera and Cooper are doing? Also, we need a doctor."

Jimmy looked at the scene: "What should we do here?"

Rodney: "We'll take care of it, don't worry."

Jimmy: "No, I mean the bullets on his body were all fired from my gun, and they will be investigated."

Rodney turned to look at Jimmy in surprise: "What? Your bullets are all in? What's going on?"

Jimmy was speechless: "Didn't you pay attention just now? When he gave up on you and came to me, I fired two rounds of bullets from the front and wounded him."

Rodney: "That's not right. I saw your first two shots. He was not injured at all."

Jimmy: "Well, I just changed my gun."

At this time Father Rivera came over and shouted from a distance: "Rodney, we need to go, are you okay?"

Rivera's words interrupted Jimmy's answer, and Rodney did not continue to ask, but said: "Jimmy, help me up. Rivera, how is Cooper?"

Father Rivera: "He is in very bad condition. His left leg is broken and he was punched in the chest. He may have fractures and needs to go to the hospital urgently for examination."

Father Rivera came over and replaced Jimmy in supporting Rodney: "How are you? I'll take you out first, and then we'll make a stretcher to take Cooper out."

Rodney: "I'm okay, I have no problem walking, let's go. Jimmy, let's go together, there's someone here who will take care of it."

Jimmy followed them, but he took out his mobile phone to check the GPS coordinates of this place and recorded it. If Rodney and the others couldn't clean it up, he would have to think of a way. A dead man was found with more than a dozen of his own ejaculate. Send a warhead, this will kill him. Let’s not talk about the various procedures that need to be followed. I don’t know how long it will take just to investigate.

I don’t know how this group of people from the church usually deal with it. If it’s just an ordinary resentful spirit, it won’t leave any evidence. For someone possessed like this, it’s okay if they use cold weapons. For someone like me, it’s okay to use a gun. , leaving too many traces.

Arriving next to Father Cooper in front, Father Rivera asked Jimmy to wait here while he went to the car to look for any materials to make a stretcher.

It was not difficult to find thick branches in the woods, but cloth for the stretcher was troublesome. Fortunately, they had enough clothes.

They took off their coats and put them on branches to hold them up. Then they twisted their pants to make a rope to secure the clothes and branches. They managed to make a temporary stretcher and took Father Cooper out of the woods and put him on the pickup truck.

Father Rivera drove the two of them back, and Jimmy drove behind them. Sure enough, the destination was the church where Jimmy had found Father Rodney's cell phone location.

Father Rivera should have called an ambulance when he returned. When they returned to the church, there was already an ambulance parked at the door.

Jimmy cooperated with the two emergency doctors in the ambulance to transfer Father Rodney and Father Cooper to the ambulance. Father Rivera opened the church door and asked Jimmy to wait for them, and then followed the ambulance to the hospital. .

Sitting in the lounge, Jimmy took out a box of bullets to replenish the spare bullet slots in the revolver and armpit holster, and just sat there waiting for them to return. An hour later, Father Rivera returned to the church alone.

Jimmy stood up: "Father Rivera."

Rivera: "Jimmy, Rodney told me, thank you."

Jimmy: "You're welcome. How are Rodney and the others?"

Rivera: "It's not a big problem, don't worry."

Jimmy: "I want to ask, what are you going to do with that man's body?"

Rivera shook his head: "I understand what you are worried about. Don't worry, we will deal with it."

Jimmy: "Aren't you going to call the police?"

Rivera shook his head and did not talk about the topic again: "Please rest here for a while. I'll change my clothes."

Rivera and Jimmy were not familiar with each other at all, and they had nothing to say. Jimmy could only wait until evening, before Father Rodney asked Rivera to drive him back.Rodney came to the lounge with Rivera, and he said to Rivera: "Thanks, Rivera, I'll talk to Jimmy first."

Rivera: "Well, I'll arrange for someone to deliver the food."

Rodney nodded and Rivera turned and left the lounge.

Rodney's right upper arm was fractured. The entire right arm is now fixed in a plaster, and the arm is hung around his neck in a sling. It looks quite serious.He smiled and said to Jimmy: "Are you anxious?"

Jimmy also smiled and said: "It's okay, how is your arm?"

Rodney glanced at his right arm: "It's broken. It may take about two months to recover. There will be trouble later."

Jimmy: "Okay, where's the other guy? That Cooper."

Rodney: "He was lucky. His left leg was fractured and three ribs were broken. Fortunately, his internal organs were not injured, and the recovery time will be longer than mine."

Jimmy: "I haven't finished what I said before. Are the other two priests from New York?"

Rodney: "No, Rivera is the priest of the church here, and Cooper is from Albany. He was the one who tracked Torres before."

Jimmy: "You said before that you lost a lot of manpower. What happened?"

Rodney sighed: "The New Haven, Connecticut, side lost a deacon, and later on, another priest was injured when tracking him down, and then we took over."

Jimmy: "Why didn't you call the police? He is a high-risk murderer, and we just let him run here from New Haven and we don't know anything."

Rodney: "No, the risk for ordinary people to encounter him is too high. If the police call the police, the impact may be greater. If the police pursue him everywhere, it may further anger him and cause indiscriminate injuries. No one can control it. .”

When Jimmy listened to Rodney's reasons, he always felt that there was a big problem with his statement: "How serious is this situation?"

Rodney shook his head: "No, this is the most difficult incident we have encountered recently. In fact, most people who are possessed by evil spirits will have mental problems. They usually wander around in their own territory. Few people travel from state to state like Torres.

I suspect that this Torres is special. I need to go to his hometown to investigate what possessed him to have such a great ability to change. This kind of thing needs to be reported and filed. If other people encounter such a thing, they can also be prepared.

This incident is very troublesome. I have never heard of rapid growth in strength in a short period of time. According to the report of the priest who has fought with him before, theoretically two people are enough to contain him or even win him. But this time The three of us besieged him, but he injured one person at the beginning. "

Jimmy: "How often can he be unable to fire a pistol?"

Rodney: "Not much. In some previous incidents, the best they could do was ignore the pain. The bullets could still injure their bodies. There were very few cases where firearms were completely ineffective. By the way, how did you injure them later? His? I took a look when we were leaving, and there seemed to be a lot of bullet holes in his torso, but none of them were punctured."

Jimmy took out a .44 Magnum bullet, "At first I used a 9mm Parabellum bullet, but later I switched to this Magnum bullet, which has a larger caliber, more gunpowder, and less damage." Bigger. But it’s not as lethal as your dagger. Father Rivera just stabbed him with the sword and he died.”

Jimmy didn't show him his gun. In Jimmy's mind, 1875 really didn't seem to have any special abilities, but it also clearly had demon-breaking properties, which had been reflected in several previous cases. If Rodney was They know it, but they still can't predict what will happen. Now everything is pushed to the Magnum bullet with an extended cartridge, which should be able to get through it.

Jimmy: "By the way, you have used pistols before, but you haven't tried using a rifle, right? If there was a rifle, maybe he would have been killed long ago."

Rodney: "No, in this case, we rely more on cold weapons, which have long been proven to be the most effective weapon to eliminate demons. It's just something unexpected this time. His fists can completely resist our daggers. It seems that I need to communicate with others about improving the weapon's capabilities after I return."

Jimmy: "Only the fists can resist, right? What about other parts of the body?"

Rodney: "Although the other parts are also very strong, they can still cut him. This time it was a complete accident and caught us off guard."

Jimmy: "Do you think... why is he so strong? Also, why did his hands start to strengthen?"

Rodney: "I don't know that either, but there's no need to know now."

Jimmy: "Okay, last question, what to do with his body?"

Rodney: "The church will arrange for people to handle it. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this issue."

Jimmy: "OK, when are you going back to New York?"

Rodney: "We still need to wait a few days. We need to deal with the follow-up here. We also need to investigate his previous whereabouts to see if there is anything missing."

Jimmy nodded, thought for a while and then said it: "Actually, I called you today because I hope you can arrange for someone to help investigate a case. A murder occurred in Sullivan County next door. Five people were in a single house. They were killed, and two of them were beheaded. The key is that based on our reconstruction of the scene, we found that the five deceased people died at basically the same time, which ordinary people cannot do."

Rodney: "You suspect there may be something supernatural going on?"

Jimmy nodded: "From my personal experience in handling cases, theoretically it is impossible for one person to kill five people in such a short time, and two of them were beheaded. The key is that the person sitting on the sofa has no Time escape, this is outrageous, our judgment of the time they were killed was basically based on the positional relationship of the five people at the same time."

Rodney: "If you really think there's something wrong here, I could ask Rivera if he has time to come over with you and check it out."

Jimmy: "Um, is he... okay?"

Rodney: "Of course, if it weren't for some special reasons, he wouldn't be able to stay in such a small church. At least he is a high-ranking person in the parish."

Jimmy nodded: "Then you can help me ask. If it is determined that there is something abnormal in that case, I will also need to hand over the case with the detective handling the case. Not everyone can handle this kind of case involving supernatural events. Some things still need to be kept secret.”

Rodney: "Well, if we determine there's a problem we'll take over."
