North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 624 Help
This is a dagger that looks very old. The only thing that feels good is that the blade still looks rust-free. There is some dull color on the back of the knife. I don't know whether it is blood stains or rust.

The handle of the knife is a wooden handle that has turned black. The guard is C-shaped and faces forward. It looks like it should be made of copper. It has some dark yellow color, but there are also some other dark marks.

Jimmy didn't reach for it directly, but looked at Father Rodney: "What's going on? Is this a murder weapon?"

Father Rodney: "Don't worry, this was once a priest's knife. It has been decades since he passed away."

Jimmy: "This... is a completely useless knife, right? I suspect that if it was cut, I might die of tetanus..."

Father Rodney shook his head with a smile: "Since I can give it to you, it must be no problem. This is indeed an exorcism weapon, but we don't usually use it, so it has been kept in the warehouse and has not been used again. The original priest I used this dagger to defend myself and killed many possessed demons and ghosts.”

Jimmy's mouth twitched a little, and he looked at the dagger again, "If I find someone to repair it, will it affect its effectiveness? At the very least, the handle needs to be replaced. It looks like it's going to crack."

Father Rodney: "No, as long as you don't re-cast the blade, there will be no problem. The main thing is time. Otherwise, I can send it to you for repair and then give it to you. That would take too much time."

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll ask someone to find out how to fix it. Thanks, Father Rodney."

Jimmy closed the box and left the church with it.

To refurbish this knife, you definitely can’t just find someone. It’s definitely more convenient to find a reliable knifesmith at the hotel. After all, there must be many opportunities to use cold weapons in their business, and there must be relevant personnel. It’s impossible. I buy the finished product every time.

It happened to be the weekend. Jimmy called to confirm that Charon was at the hotel and drove directly there.

Arriving at the door of the hotel, Jimmy got out of the car with two boxes and walked into the hotel, "Charon."

Charon nodded slightly: "Mr. Yang, please follow me."

After arranging for someone to take over the front desk position, Charon took Jimmy to the familiar reception room again. Jimmy handed over a small box in his hand, "This is for you, I hope you like it."

Jimmy always wanted to trouble Charon. He had already bought a Dupont lighter before, so he just happened to bring it to him when he came over this time. As for Winston, he really didn’t know what to give, so let’s leave it like this for now.

Charon opened the box with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, I like it very much. How can I help you?"

Jimmy: "I would like to ask, is there any reliable knifesmith here in the hotel with better skills? I have a dagger from decades ago that needs to be repaired. The craftsmanship must be good and the person must be reliable. The handle can be replaced. , but the blade cannot be replaced or re-cast."

Charon: "Can I see it?"

Jimmy nodded, opened the box containing the dagger and handed it to Charon. Charon always wore white gloves when working, and he could just reach out and take out the dagger.

After carefully looking at the dagger blade and handle, Charon nodded: "I think I can find someone to handle it."

Jimmy smiled and said: "That's great, thank you. Remember to remind the knifemaker that the blade must not be recast and remade. It only needs to be cleaned and polished."

Charon put the dagger back into the box, took the box and closed it, "Okay, can I ask, after this knife is repaired, do you want to use it or keep it?"

Jimmy: "Use it, it will replace this folding knife I'm using now."

Jimmy took out his pocket knife from his pocket and gave it a look to Charon. Charon raised his eyebrows, his forehead lines showing, "Is this the pocket knife you use every day? I don't think it's for self-defense." Function."

Jimmy: "Usually I mainly use it to cut ropes and the like. In fact, I have wanted to change it for a long time, but I have never had a suitable knife."

Charon leaned forward slightly: "Wait for me for a moment." After saying that, he walked out. After a while, he came in carrying a box, placed it on the table and opened it. There were several short knives and butterfly knives placed side by side inside. There are various types of switchblade knives and fixed knives.

Charon made a gesture of asking for a choice: "Please choose as you like. These are all brand new and unused, and they have all been sharpened and polished. Let them be your portable dagger until the repair of this dagger is completed."

Jimmy looked at Charon in surprise. Charon stretched out his hand again to make a gesture of invitation. Jimmy nodded, looked at the knives in the small box, and took out a mafia side jump knife. The blade popped out with a "click". Jimmy tried his hand, "That's it, thank you, Charon."

Charon: "You're welcome." He closed the box and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Jimmy: "No, it's not easy to find a reliable knifemaker for this matter. Thank you for the gift, then I will go back."

Charon put the box that Jimmy brought over on the box and sent Jimmy out of the reception room. After Jimmy left the hotel door, he returned to the reception room and took the box and the box away to arrange the follow-up processing.

Jimmy drove home and took out the Mafia side jump knife given by Charon. This kind of knife has a latch button on the handle. When pressed, it pops out from the side and then locks. The blade is single-edged, similar to the shape of a gun.

The one Jimmy got is a black horn handle with silver fixing rivets. The blade and the bottom of the handle are both bright silver. It looks very conspicuous and beautiful. The length of the handle is about 15cm, and the blade is about 12cm. It doesn't take up much space when it is put away, and it can be opened easily. Enough to use.

After playing with it for a while, Jimmy put away the jump knife and put it on the table. He returned to the study, picked up the textbooks, and started studying. The file showed that he was already over [-] years old, and he still needed to make up classes to get a certificate. It was really a pain in the ass, that is, he My memory is very good now, otherwise I wouldn't know how long it would take to finish it.

Nia works overtime on weekends, which is similar to what Jimmy felt before. The NYPD has been busy for a while. Since the end of the year, various cases have emerged one after another, but they are all routine cases, so they handle them themselves and basically do not transfer them to the FBI.

Considering that she will take wedding leave and honeymoon in the future, Nia has been very active in going to work recently. She can also use her paid leave and annual leave to rest for a while in the future.

Jimmy didn't have that much trouble. He had told Ruiz in advance that in addition to the one-week wedding leave, he would take an additional three to four weeks of leave, and Ruiz agreed.

For the FBI, the absence of one or two people is not a problem at all, but in the past, people like team leaders usually did not take long leave. Ruiz's request to Jimmy was to get Mark and Julia together before he took leave. The two people made arrangements to ensure that there would be no big problems in the homicide department. This was one of the reasons why Jimmy had deliberately let them handle the case.

In the homicide team, Jimmy has enough experience, and now he has subordinates who can arrange things for them. He doesn't have to do much himself, but he is just absent for a period of time. Although it may be inconvenient, he can still handle the case normally, that is, when the support team arrives There might be a problem. Ruiz thought that it would be troublesome to call him directly to handle a certain case temporarily, but there are not many such cases, so there should be no problem.Jimmy is dealing with these things in advance now, so that he can let go completely for a while before getting married.

Only three days later, Charon called Jimmy. The dagger had been repaired. In view of Jimmy's work, he arranged for a local courier to deliver Jimmy's dagger to his door. Jimmy only had to wait at Federal Plaza.

Jimmy thanked Charon on the phone, and soon received an intercom call informing him to pick up a courier.

Jimmy opened the express delivery directly at the front desk. The wooden box was still the original wooden box, but the dagger inside only looked brand new as far as the handle was concerned. In addition to repairing the dagger, the knifemaker Charon helped find also gave Jimmy an extra leather knife. The dark brown knife sheath is stitched on one side, and there is an oblique lock on the handle to ensure that the knife is stable and will not accidentally fall out after being inserted.

Jimmy pulled out the dagger. The dark brown wooden handle was very comfortable to hold. It could be seen that it had been carefully adjusted. The blade of the dagger was ground and very sharp. The original dark blood-stained part of the blade had been cleaned away, and the entire blade was large. Parts have been brightly polished and look great. The original C-shaped handguard has also been polished, and now the brass color is very eye-catching.

If there is any problem with this, it is the belt loop on the knife holster he provided. This kind of belt loop needs to pass the belt through, which means it lacks flexibility. It would be best if you can get a buckle to snap on the belt. .

However, he can't be too demanding. He can use it like this for now, and then adjust it when he has the opportunity later, or go to a cobbler's shop to order another knife sheath. As long as he wants to, there is always a way.

Jimmy asked the front desk to throw away the express box, and he returned to the office with the dagger box.It’s unclear whether this dagger can still be used. Father Rodney needs to take a look at it. What he needs is a demon-killing weapon as a close-quarters weapon. If this knife can’t ward off demons, it’s meaningless. Daily Even buying a pocket knife worth dozens of dollars is enough.

Jimmy rarely has the opportunity to fight with others in close combat. Most of the time, his gun is enough to deal with various situations. There are too few occasions when the dagger can be really used. Most people cannot use it, and experts basically cannot see it.

Back in the office, Jimmy put the knife on the table and continued to read information. At the same time, he called Father Rodney and made an appointment to meet at a time that was convenient for him.

The next night, Jimmy hugged Nia and watched a movie on the sofa. It felt okay to rent a disc and watch the movie. The only problem was that Jimmy had less opportunities to find movies by himself. Basically all the movies here were Niya. Ya went to rent it back.

Nia watches a lot of movies. In addition to action movies, gunfight movies, and even occasionally some literary movies, the kind of movies that rely entirely on dialogue to drive the plot. Jimmy wants to fall asleep while watching it, but it is impossible to just watch it on the sofa. I had to go to bed, so I could only bear to watch it with her.

The musical movie I watched today was such a movie. Jimmy had tried very hard to persevere, but he still felt a little sleepy after watching it for half an hour. He tilted his head and leaned it against Nia's head. Slowly close your eyes and gradually let yourself go.

"Jimmy, wake up, wake up." Nia shook Jimmy, and he opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nia: "Your phone is ringing."

Jimmy reached out and touched it. His phone was not beside him. He turned around and saw that his phone was vibrating at the far end of the coffee table.

Standing up and taking the phone, Jimmy glanced at it and picked it up: "Father Rodney, what happened?"

Rodney: "Sorry to bother you so late, Jimmy, we need help."

Jimmy: "Tell me, what do you need?"

Rodney: "I need your help to find someone to temporarily seal off Van Coran Park in the Bronx where we need to deal with a difficult incident."

Jimmy: "Now? How long will the lockdown be?"

Rodney: "It's not clear yet. There may be other places. We'll try to deal with it in a place with fewer people."

Jimmy: "Is it an emergency? I'm leaving now to support you."

Rodney: "OK, I'll let you know the specific location later."

Rodney and the others are in trouble again. In the past, when doing business in the forest, there was no need to block off the area to avoid information leakage. But now they are in New York City. Even though it is the Bronx, it may still cause panic among residents.

Jimmy told Nia and asked Nia to help check the NYPD branch in the Bronx. If the scene needs to be sealed off, it will inevitably be handled by the NYPD. There are not many people in the FBI who can be transferred.

Before Jimmy arrived at Van Kelan Park, Father Rodney called again, "There is no need to block Van Kelan Park. We have arrived at the outskirts of Yonkers City and are currently moving north."

Jimmy took a breath: "If we go beyond New York, I may not be able to find the right people to seal the scene. No matter how many there are, I'll go find you first."

It's a bit troublesome. Dave asked himself to cooperate with the diocese before, but it seems that it will still cause him some trouble. Now he has left New York City. Although he is still under the jurisdiction of the FBI New York Division, he wants to mobilize the local area. Resources are very troublesome.

Jimmy turned on his police lights and siren and rushed out. The traffic at night was much better than during the day. Jimmy rushed out of the Bronx and soon arrived in Yonkers. After calling again, Jimmy was found by the Hudson River in the north of Yonkers. Rodney and the others.

Rodney didn't come here alone. He had not fully recovered from his previous arm injury, and now it was just normal on a daily basis, so he was holding the battle next to him while another priest was fighting a ghost that looked like it had mutated.

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, do you need me to take action? Do you still need me to seal off the surrounding area?"

Rodney nodded: "There is no need to blockade. There is no one around here, so there should be no problem."

Jimmy reached out and pulled out the dagger from his belt. This was the dagger given by Rodney. He took this opportunity to ask, "The dagger has been repaired. Father Rodney, can you help me see if it can be used now?"

Rodney stared at the battle ahead. Hearing Jimmy's words, he turned his head and glanced, "We'll talk about it later, it's not convenient now."

Jimmy looked at the priest fighting with the monster in front of him. He was holding a broad sword in his hand and a small buckler in his left hand. The equipment was better than that of Father Rodney and the others last time. And just looking at their current fight, The monsters don't seem to be much of a threat.

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, I'm going to help."
