North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 623 Training
The hostage-taking case has been successfully solved. Jimmy's target, Ethan, fell to the ground. Jimmy went up and checked the carotid artery to make sure it was not beating. Then he stood up and put the Glock back into its holster. "Hey, brothers, it's over here. I'm going back."

After greeting the ESU team, Jimmy left the kitchen. Superintendent Sullivan had entered the restaurant. Jimmy walked in front of him and said, "Superintendent Sullivan, the suspect was shot dead by the ESU."

Sullivan nodded: "Well, sorry, it was a direct order from above, so..."

Jimmy frowned. He originally thought it was Sullivan outside who gave the kill order after the gunshot. "Why? I'm still trying to persuade him..."

Sullivan shrugged, "I'm going to go in and take a look."

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

It seems that the NYPD has been a little angry recently. Since last winter, New York has been in trouble, with various terrorist attack-level cases emerging one after another. This hostage-taking case has also touched the nerves of some people. Otherwise, according to the Under normal procedures, they would have to confront the suspect Ethan for at least several hours.

Jimmy only knows about many cases, and most of them will not be passed to the FBI. They will be digested internally by the NYPD. Therefore, once the number of malignant cases increases, the NYPD will be under the greatest pressure, followed by the New York City Government.

There must be problems with the handling of this case. Let’s see what the NYPD will say later in the case press conference. In theory, if Ethan shot first and a hostage was already shot, they would directly arrange an ESU assault. It's all said and done.

Jimmy took off his body armor and drove back to Federal Plaza. He first came to Ruiz's office to describe the situation at the case scene, and then returned to his own office.

Ruiz said nothing, but judging from his expression, he should be satisfied.Jimmy's only question now is how did Ruiz know that Ethan had kidnapped the hostages?
He has thought about many clues, and the most reliable possibility he can currently deduce is that Ethan once called Seventeen to ask for help after kidnapping the hostages. This can explain why Ruiz received the news so quickly and wanted to The reason why he gave up his dispatch was because Seventeen was very close to Ruiz, and they only needed a phone call or a meeting to arrange follow-up arrangements.

But no matter how many twists and turns there are, now that Ethan is dead, everything is over. However, there must be other problems that need to be solved on Seventeen's side. I just don't know how many times Ruiz will need to wipe his butt for him later. .

There are still no clues about the bombing. While Jimmy was dealing with the hostage-taking case, Mark and Julia were checking the surveillance video transcribed by the technical department on the computer.

Jimmy: "Did you find any problems?"

Julia: "Not at all, but it's the first time I know there are so many homeless people in Times Square..."

Jimmy: "This is normal. There are at least [-] homeless people in New York City. They must be in places with a large flow of people to get more money and supplies, but basically they will not be in the era. If you stay in a place like the Plaza, you will leave soon.”

Julia: "Well, the main reason is that I have never paid attention to these before. How do you know?"

Jimmy: "Because there have been cases of homeless people being frequently killed before, I learned a little more about it. In fact, the main gathering place for homeless people is the subway. If I don't have to, I basically won't go to the subway station. It's too chaotic there. Yes. You too, you must pay attention to safety if you go to a place where homeless people gather, especially you, Julia."

Julia shrugged and spread her hands: "I usually don't go to the subway station."

Jimmy: "OK, let's get to work. Mark, are there any suspects?"

Mark: "There is no way to be sure. Most of the known bombing suspects are still in prison. They can basically rule out the suspects. Most of the remaining people are members of the American Demolition Personnel Association. I called them and asked them to help check. Members in New York haven’t given me data yet.”

Jimmy: "Got it, go ahead."

This explosion is actually very strange, because the power of the explosion is so small that it does not even damage the sewers. To put it bluntly, a super-large firecracker may cause more damage than this bomb.

The two possibilities Jimmy told Ruiz before actually didn't believe it himself. They were more like a prank, or a toy made by a novice based on some information. He didn't even think that the explosion would hurt anyone. .

Jimmy thought for a while, left the office again, and came to the laboratory to consult with the inspector responsible for his explosion case, mainly to inspect the controller.

Inspector: "Because it has been blown up, there is no way to restore this control panel for the time being. However, based on the existing content, it can be basically determined that this thing must be privately made. It seems that the technique is not very good. On this board There are actually extra solder joints, and it can be seen from the baseline that it is not working at all.”

Jimmy: "I had an idea before. This bomb was made by a novice and the explosion was also a prank. Do you think it is possible?"

Detector: "I can only say that this bomb does look quite unprofessional at the moment. As for whether it is a prank, I can't tell."

Jimmy nodded: "Thank you, I'll check again when I go back."

Jimmy has been partially verified. At least the inspectors have determined that there are some unprofessional aspects here, so it should be no problem for him to be a novice. Now he just has to think about where he got the ammonium nitrate explosive.

After a period of time, Jimmy not only went to work, but also completed all the admission procedures. In addition to self-study, he also participated in school courses on weekends to ensure that he could keep up with the progress. After all, he had not read a book in the past few years.

There has been no progress in the bombing case, so it was sealed. The subsequent murder cases basically have Mark and Julia cooperating in the investigation. Jimmy is more responsible for task arrangement and communication, relatively speaking, he needs to come forward. There is not much content directly investigated.

This is also the result of Jimmy's delegation of authority. Because of his delegation of authority, it only took a short time for Mark and Julia to begin accepting the FBI's case handling process and accumulate their own experience. This was of great benefit to them both. In a way, it is difficult for new detectives to have this opportunity to lead the investigation of the case.

The communication between Kevin and Alex was also smooth, and Elliot's firearms education also began, except that Jimmy did not take him to a public shooting range. Instead, Alex arranged for him to stay at a small estate in Orange County.

It was the property of Alex's family, a small manor owned by his relatives. Alex borrowed it specially for Elliot, and built a small weapons arsenal and a small 10-50 meter shooting range in it. It won't affect anyone else.

The so-called small weapons arsenal is actually mainly a batch of children's rifles and pistols using .22lr bullets that Alex prepared for Elliot. In addition to standard small-caliber shotguns, there is also a mini Springfield.These guns are basically toys to Jimmy, but for children, these small firearms specially designed for children's enlightenment are basically enough to meet their needs. Standard rifles and pistols have too much recoil for children, and The weapon is also not sized for a child to hold.

Elliot didn't know much about guns, and Jimmy didn't explain much to him. He just explained the structure, disassembly, assembly, and cleaning of rifles and pistols. Of course, he also let Elliot shoot a few bullets at the end. Practice your hands and this training is over.

Jimmy has prepared some tutorials in advance. He is proficient in using pistols and M4 and M16 rifles, but he is not good at shotguns, so he must learn in advance. As for disassembling, assembling and cleaning guns, it is very simple, as long as he is familiar with it. That's enough for Elliot.
.
The kinetic energy and recoil of the 22 bullet are very small, so even if Elliot uses it, there will be no problem. As for the rules for safe use of firearms, he was taught them little by little later, and he was also asked not to use these things outside the farm.

Elliot was obviously very happy when he was with Jimmy. During the first practice, Alex was still with him. Later, he just let the people at the farm watch and he didn't even come.

Let Elliot practice disassembly and assembly of the pistol, and Jimmy came to practice revolver rotation. This time he brought a two-month clip with him, and took advantage of this time to jam the .44 Magnum bullet in the monthly clip. On, practice using the moon clip to change ammunition.

Because Jimmy didn't use a belt like Roland's, the bullets were not placed on the belt, but held in his hands. He had practiced many times before, and now he could change bullets very smoothly, but he still couldn't do it as smoothly as Roland. Actions.

He was already looking for the kind of belt Roland used. He just asked several gun stores but they didn't have the same kind of belt. If he couldn't find it again, he was going to go to the leather goods store where he had custom-made gun holsters to order one.

There is a row of independent spare bullet slots on Roland's belt, and there are also holsters on the left and right sides that can store the bullets that have been loaded with monthly clips. When using it, Roland directly picks up a circle of bullets and reloads them in the air, so he can use both his left and right hands. Fire and reload the revolver at the same time.

Jimmy could only hold the gun with one hand and reload with the other hand. This would give him a large shooting gap, and he would not be able to maintain very intensive fire suppression like Roland.

Before he had no conditions to complete the same action, Jimmy now practiced more manually throwing the bullet clip upwards and trying the same volley to load it into the magazine. However, the success rate was very low. Most of the time, the bullets were directly knocked away, and the bullets were not fired. I know how long it took Roland to practice before he could pocket the bullet into the magazine so smoothly.

Jimmy's practice movements looked weird, and Elliot stopped what he was doing and asked, "Mr. Yang, what are you doing?"

Jimmy: "Oh, this is just for me to play. Don't watch my movements, it will affect your practice."

Elliot: "What's the use?"

Jimmy: "This is the reloading action used with the revolver. I figured it out myself, but I haven't finished it yet. Okay, assemble the gun and I'll teach you the shooting action."

Jimmy put away the revolver and bullets, came to Elliott's side, and taught him how to hold the pistol with both hands, how to aim, how to open the safety and shoot.The main reason for teaching so late is to stimulate his interest in the early stage. If you teach too much at one time, he will forget it and may have trouble remembering it. Therefore, you only teach a part of each training to ensure that he can remember it.

After Elliot finished shooting, he wanted to rest and recover from the soreness of his arm muscles. "Mr. Yang, can you show me how you shoot?"

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Okay, I'll prepare."

Elliot stood behind Jimmy with his earphones on. Jimmy took out the Glock, first pulled out the magazine, removed a few bullets and then loaded the magazine. It was just a demonstration that it was not necessary to shoot a full magazine, only a few rounds. Just bullets.

Jimmy shot with one hand and hit 6 out of 6. He smashed the red heart in the middle of the 10-meter target paper prepared for Elliot.

Jimmy nodded, opened the magazine, reloaded the removed bullet, pulled the slide to load a bullet, and then retracted the holster.Jimmy had a habit of leaving a bullet in the chamber so he could pull out the pistol and shoot immediately.

He took out the revolver and took out six individual bullets from his pocket with his left hand. He turned to look at Elliot, "I'll show you something fun."

Jimmy's action of throwing six bullets one by one into the magazine after shooting one round is really full of beauty. Most people can't do this kind of action. People who have worked with Jimmy before and have seen Jimmy use this trick can only express envy of him. Hand speed.

After two consecutive empty rounds, Jimmy cleaned the cartridge case, put the revolver aside to cool down, and took off his earphones. "Okay, that's it for today's training. It's almost time for us to go back to New York."

Elliot was still open-mouthed at this time, "Cool! How did you do that?"

Jimmy: "Don't think about it, this is not what you should learn now. OK, come and clean up."

The two of them packed up the guns and bullets at the shooting range. They also picked up the bullet casings on the ground and put them in buckets specially designed to store bullet casings. These must be recycled. After all, this is a farm site. If they are pressed into the ground, they will be recycled in the future. Cleaning up is troublesome.

After Jimmy returned to New York to take Elliot back to his home, he received another call from Father Rodney, just in time to see him before going home.

Father Rodney returned to New York after being injured last time, but he was not in the church. Instead, he went home to recuperate. He did not return to the church until he was almost recovered and began a normal life.

When Jimmy came to the church, the sling that Father Rodney had hung on his neck had been removed, and now there was a bandage on his arm, which was not obvious under the cover of the priest's robe.

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, how are you recovering?"

Father Rodney: "Fortunately, he may be fully recovered in a few days. Jimmy, I have asked you what you told me last time, and Bishop Anderson agreed."

Jimmy laughed in surprise: "Really? Thank you so much."

Father Rodney stood up and took out a wooden box from the cabinet next to him. Jimmy reached out to take it and opened it. Inside was an old-looking dagger, which was left in the box without a scabbard.
