North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 619
Rodney came back from contacting Father Rivera. He exchanged mobile phone numbers with Jimmy and agreed to go to the scene the next day to help take a look. Jimmy got up and left the church, returned to Middletown and found a hotel to check in and rest.

After a night of silence, Jimmy came to the church again the next morning. Father Rodney rested in the church yesterday. As for Father Rivera, he had a place to live here, and he just made an appointment with Jimmy to meet here.

Father Rivera is the only priest in this church. If he leaves for a long time, there will still be problems here. Now that Father Rodney has temporarily replaced him, there will be no big problem. Father Rodney is based in the Archdiocese of New York. This kind of small church handles the consultations of some believers and accepts confessions from some people without any problems at all.

Jimmy drove the spare car, followed by Father Rivera in his pickup truck. The two went directly to the place where the previous case occurred.

Jimmy called Agent Randall of the field office in advance. He will go to the scene again today to conduct an investigation. However, there is no need for his team to come. This is just for reporting.

Agent Randall hung up the phone, and after thinking about it, he decided to ask Agent Carlos Rodriguez to go to the scene to assist Jimmy. After all, Jimmy was from the Manhattan office, and this was their jurisdiction, so he still had to do something.

When Jimmy and Father Rivera arrived at the scene, Agent Rodriguez was already at the scene. He greeted Jimmy and Father Rivera and then opened the door to let them in.

As soon as Father Rivera entered the door, he reached out and took out the Bible he was carrying and put it in his left hand. He opened the Bible in his right hand and put his hand on it.Jimmy saw his movements and understood that Father Rivera felt something here just like he had when he entered this house yesterday.

Jimmy: "Father Rivera, this is the house where five people were murdered in the living room, right here."

Jimmy pointed out the locations of the five dead people to Father Rivera, and whispered about the tragedy of the five people and the reasons for their deaths. Father Rivera nodded and asked Jimmy and Agent Rodriguez to leave the house first, and then he Stand in the living room and start reading a passage from the Bible.

Agent Rodriguez is an ordinary agent. He usually rarely sees this situation, but he was too embarrassed to speak when the priest was reciting scriptures. He just stood next to Jimmy and looked at Father Rivera in the living room. .

Jimmy has been switching back and forth between mind-eye vision and normal vision since Father Rivera started reciting scriptures. He wanted to verify his conjecture. What was going on when he couldn't see anything in mind-eye vision before? This is There is no abnormality or it is because of my own ability shortcomings that I can't see it.

Finally, Father Rivera finished his chanting, made the sign of the cross on his chest, turned around and beckoned them in.

Father Rivera: "Agent Yang, I want to take a look at their room, is that okay?"

Jimmy looked at Agent Rodriguez and he nodded. Jimmy stretched out his hand to guide Father Rivera into the rooms of these people for inspection. Father Rivera was still very professional in front of outsiders and would stay temporarily in each room. In a short while, I walked through the rooms of five people.

He nodded to Jimmy, and the three of them went downstairs and outside the house. Father Rivera walked around the house again, and then nodded to Jimmy to indicate that it was over.

Jimmy thanked Agent Rodriguez, got in the car with the priest and left. When they reached a remote and deserted place, Jimmy got out of the car and waited for the priest to come over.

Jimmy: "Father Rivera, did you find anything?"

Father Rivera shook his head and nodded again, "No unusual circumstances were found in the deaths of those people. Of course, the most important thing is that the interval was too long. Even if there was indeed a problem at the time, it has dissipated now.

But I still want to tell you one thing. That house has become a place of resentful spirits because of the tragic death of five people inside. Fortunately, I came earlier this time, otherwise resentful spirits would be born here sooner or later. "

Jimmy frowned and thought for a while, then asked after a while: "Is it so easy for a resentful spirit to arise? There must be some conditions, right?"

Rivera: "Well, there are usually many conditions. The obsession of the deceased is itself a spiritual place, there are special items as inducements, etc. But I didn't find any special items just now. I looked around the house. , and no evidence of the ghost land was found. I can only judge that the center of the resentful ghost land is in the living room. There is a possibility that there was some special item in the living room when they died, but it was taken away later."

Jimmy: "So, there's nothing wrong with that house now, right?"

Rivera: "Yes, there is no problem anymore, or there is no problem for the time being. If it will happen again in the future, we can come back and see if it will happen again in the future."

Jimmy: "Okay, thank you, Father Rivera. I won't go back to the church with you. Please say hello to Father Rodney for me."

Rivera smiled and said: "Thank you for coming to support us this time, thank you. Goodbye."

Jimmy: "Goodbye."

Father Rivera drove away in his pickup truck. Jimmy stood on the side of the road and thought about it before driving to the field office.

Now that they know they may have taken something from the crime scene, they must confirm it with Agent Randall and check the evidence. If they don't have it here, then the murderer took it. This can also avoid the FBI's discovery. There's a big problem at the warehouse.

This time Jimmy did not go directly to the office. Instead, he called Randall's phone number downstairs in the office and asked him to go downstairs to meet him.

Randall went downstairs and saw Jimmy. Jimmy handed over the coffee he bought, and the two just stood on the roadside and chatted.

Randall was very surprised why Jimmy was so concerned about this case. Jimmy also briefly explained his reasons. The most important thing was that he was completely unable to construct what happened at the crime scene. This was the same for Agent Randall. doubts.

There were no clues left by the murderer at the scene, and it was impossible to determine whether it was a murderer based on the judgment at the scene. The death positions of the deceased were also inferred that they died suddenly and had no time to resist or escape. Such a situation is really rare.

Randall: "So what do you want to know?"

Jimmy: "I want to take a look at the evidence you retrieved from the scene. The murderer always had some purpose for killing five people so brutally. Maybe the things left at the scene can give us some inspiration for finding clues. "

Randall: "The evidences are all in the warehouse now, and there are a lot of them." Jimmy: "Just take a look and satisfy your curiosity."

Randall nodded: "Okay, I'll take you to the warehouse this afternoon. Come on, let's have dinner together at noon."

After a brief lunch, in the afternoon Randall took Jimmy to dig out some evidence from the evidence room in the field office, and then took him to the evidence warehouse to check other evidence that may not be of much relevance.

After Jimmy carefully examined the evidence, he found nothing unusual, which means it was definitely taken away by the murderer.

Inferring from this point, Jimmy had a guess that the five people got something special for some unknown reason. When they were chatting in the living room to check this special item, the murderer appeared and he killed five people. Left with the special items they got.

This case seems to have been closed, and it is certain that there was indeed a supernatural incident. In addition, the mutated Torres I saw yesterday is very likely to be a possessed person with special abilities who committed this horrific case. .

Jimmy and Agent Randall returned to his office. It was a rare visit. Randall couldn't just let Jimmy leave. Chatting in the office, going out to smoke a cigar or something, was much better than letting Jimmy go back to New York directly. .

Jimmy could have gone back yesterday, but he came again today, and also found a priest to bless the house where the crime occurred. This is very interesting. Not only is this matter interesting, but this person is also interesting.

The two FBI agents must have been chatting about some case or something during working hours. Since they were not familiar with each other, they definitely had nothing to talk about in their daily lives.

At this point, Jimmy was not afraid at all. While chatting, he asked if there were any other special cases nearby. Agent Randall was not very clear about it, because they actively discovered very few murder cases, and most of them were Other departments need to be notified.

Randall also thought he understood what Jimmy meant. As an ideal young man, he had no passion for handling ordinary cases and hoped to find some interesting cases to deal with. This was normal.

After chatting for a long time, Jimmy stood up and said goodbye. This time he was really going to drive back to New York.

On the way back to New York, Jimmy had been thinking about what Bishop Anderson and Father Rodney of the Archdiocese of New York had said about the increasing number of supernatural incidents in recent years. Now there seemed to be more supernatural cases around him.

From Little Rock to Dallas, and then to New York, Jimmy only encountered him once or twice in the past three or four years. In the past few days, he has encountered him three times, and one of them was so scary that he almost overturned.

Before Thomas died, no bullets could penetrate him. It was like wearing a bulletproof vest. This was because he used the 1875 given by Roland. The first two bullets shot with Glock didn't even break the skin. If he was really in peacetime, If you meet such a person, he will probably overturn even if he is calculating mentally or not.

Going to help Father Rodney this time gave Jimmy a sudden sense of crisis. If this kind of possessed person comes back twice, he may not be able to handle it. His own ability is not enough to deal with this situation.

After calling Mark to make sure there was nothing wrong in the office, Jimmy went directly back to the apartment, took out the video of Roland's training from the safe and watched it again.

This battle still made Jimmy discover a big problem. If he holds the gun with one hand, it is no problem to load bullets manually, but a revolver cannot handle a bulletproof guy like Torres. He holds the gun with both hands. If so, he can't reload quickly, which is a big hidden danger.

In his memory, Roland once demonstrated to him the quick reloading of a gun held with both hands, and also warned him not to use a quick loader, but to use a half-moon clip. Now when he encountered this kind of thing, he understood, The advice Roland gave is truly based on experience.

Looking at Roland's smooth reloading and reloading operations in the video, except for the action of throwing the half-moon clip of bullets into the air to reload the magazine, which was a bit too difficult, he seemed to be able to do the rest.

The belt Roland prepared was specially made, with separate spare bullet slots, and several loaded card magazines stuck on the belt. Roland could smoothly change the bullets from the belt to the magazine. If Jimmy had With this ability, yesterday there would be no need to put away the left revolver and reload it.

Jimmy watched the video carefully and listed the things he needed to purchase. Then he put the video back in the safe. He would need to prepare carefully and practice more later.

Speaking of which, Roland looked very handsome in his leather jacket, but unfortunately Jimmy didn't seem to be suitable for that kind of look.

The next day, Jimmy returned to the office and reviewed the clues Mark and Julia had investigated, allowing them to continue working on the murder.

There are too few clues, and Jimmy estimates that the result of this case is likely to be sealed. However, this does not prevent Mark and Julia from using this case to increase their ability and experience in investigating clues. This is a good case.

Of course, Jimmy also told Mark and the others about this outcome, and they didn't have any objections. After all, Jimmy was taking good care of them by letting them handle it themselves.

Mark and Julia have no doubts about Jimmy's ability to handle cases, especially Mark. When it comes to his missing gun, Jimmy's handling speed is magical.

In the morning, he went out to investigate clues and made a mistake. He was attacked by someone. Around noon, Jimmy discovered that he was missing. He quickly found his whereabouts and found out that he had lost his gun. In the evening, he caught the suspect and recovered his gun. This kind of If it were anyone else's speed, it would definitely be useless.

Now that Jimmy has arranged it, it must be very necessary for them to handle this case that may need to be sealed to gain experience. All they have to do is handle it according to Jimmy's arrangement. They don't need to think too much, such as solving the case. rates and the like.

Jimmy took advantage of the time and went to the technical department. Roland's video tape was still not clear enough. He asked someone for consultation. After transcribing it to the computer, the picture could be enhanced. However, if the bureau's equipment was used, it might need to be reported. As well as keeping files, I had to give up this lazy plan in the end.

But it’s not impossible. The technical staff still recommended that Jimmy find some professionals to handle it. Although New York is not Hollywood, there are many special effects and video studios to choose from. Jimmy’s request is easily fulfilled by them, but it requires Spend some money and get a confidentiality agreement to ensure they don't leak the footage Jimmy provided.

With the video enhancement plan in place, Jimmy was not particularly anxious. While taking advantage of the break, he found a gun store to purchase some monthly clips. He returned to the office and took out the spare bullets to load them. In this way, he secretly practiced quick reloading with one hand. .
