North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 642 Trap
As for mercenaries, although Jimmy has never dealt with them, he knows a lot about them. Most of them are war hyenas. It's okay to let them do anything for money. But traveling across the ocean to come to the United States for a companion who may die at any time is still okay. Fighting back against law enforcement officers is a step too far.

The possibility of this is very low. Just notify other people to pay attention. There is no need to do things specifically for them.

But Jimmy was still too optimistic. He had only been back for half a day when Mahone and Neil came to the homicide team's office in the afternoon and said, "Jimmy, something happened."

Jimmy looked at the two of them in confusion: "What's the matter? Sit down and talk."

Mahone looked at Neil, and Neil then said, "Do you remember the middleman? He was found in the temporary residence this morning. If he didn't have a backup escape route, there might be no way to contact him again."

Jimmy: "Morning? What time?"

Neil: "Around 7 o'clock."

Jimmy: "Tell me more about what happened to him."

Neil: "He just came back from outside in the morning and was about to rest. Someone knocked on the door. He found out through the peephole that it was one of the people involved in the last art transaction. He immediately jumped out of the window and ran away. No one behind him caught up with him."

Jimmy: "Did they break down the door and go after him?"

Neil: "He didn't say."

Jimmy frowned and looked at Mahone: "Did you go to the site to check?"

Ma Hong: "Not yet. We came over just now after Neil received the call."

Jimmy: "Let's go and take a look. Mark, you stay in the office."

Mark responded, Jimmy and the others left the office, Neil contacted the intermediary again to confirm his address, and the three drove to Brooklyn.

In a hidden corner, Mahone stopped the car and picked up a person on the side of the road. They continued to drive forward and came to a row house.

Mahone, Neil and the person they picked up got off the car, and Jimmy got off the car behind him. Neil introduced Jimmy: "The broker, you have met him."

Agent: "Falconi."

Jimmy nodded to Falconi: "Is this here?"

Falconi: "Yes, I didn't come back after I left."

Jimmy took a look at the house. There was no one else in the three-story building, but he found a lot of hidden compartments, and some that looked like they should be guns. From his perspective, the room was not cluttered.

Jimmy: "Do you have surveillance here?"

Falconi: "There is only one surveillance camera in the living room, and the viewing angle is the door."

Jimmy: "The door was not damaged. Mahone, will you take care of it?"

Mahone nodded. He pulled out the Glock and said to Falconi: "Falkni, open the door and check. Let's take a look at the surveillance."

Falconi stepped forward and took a look at the keyhole, "It's not bad, they probably didn't come in to chase me."

Ma Hong: "Didn't you say they are chasing you?"

Falconi: "I just wanted to run away..."

Several people were speechless. Falconi was probably frightened on the day of the transaction. He was completely frightened and ran away at the slightest movement.

Ma Hong: "Let's go and check the surveillance first."

Just as they thought, because Falconi saw from the peephole that the person outside was one of the people who had traded art before, he scared himself and ran fast, without considering whether the other party really wanted to The other party didn't even enter the door to trouble him. Naturally, the surveillance in the living room didn't capture anything, but it did capture part of Falconi's heroic appearance while escaping.

Ma Hong: "Are you sure the person coming is one of them?"

Falcone: "I'm sure, I swear it is."

Ma Hong turned his head and glanced at Jimmy, then turned back: "OK, I get it, let's investigate the area first."

Mahone beckoned Jimmy to leave, and Neil stayed in the room with Falcone.

Mahone and Jimmy came to the door: "What do you think?"

Jimmy: "Now it seems that that person may not have come to kill Falconi, but to investigate information. He should have at least been observing Falconi for a while, otherwise he would not have just waited for Falconi to return. I came to the door when I was getting ready to rest.

But if Falconi ran away like this, it would inevitably aggravate the other party's suspicion, and worry that Falconi was working with someone else to mess with them, so their next actions would be impossible to predict.

In addition, although it may be a bit too much to say this, I think there should be a monitoring point prepared by them near Falconi. I just don’t know what type it is. Maybe there is one in a certain house or on the roadside. Unobtrusive video surveillance. "

Ma Hong nodded: "I am thinking the same thing as you. It seems that the people who were not caught last time are not going to give up and want to come back to cause trouble."

Jimmy: "I remember that there were at least two people on the run that time, right? Do you have any new news in the past few days?" Mahone: "No, it seems to have disappeared. In addition, we have not retrieved the lost artwork from each place." The channel got the news that someone was selling it, and the previous estimate that they might make a move may be a bit too optimistic.”

Jimmy: "Maybe it's not that they don't want to sell, but because so many of their people have died, they simply don't have the ability to sell in a short time. From this point of view, there is a slight possibility that they came to Falconi in the hope that he Although it is unlikely that he will act as a middleman again, it is still considered a kind of transaction."

Ma Hong: "Well, I will arrange the follow-up investigation. You can lend me Mark for a few days."

Jimmy: "Okay, he'll come to support you. I'll go back to the office and be on duty. Call me if you need anything."

Ma Hong: "Well, you go back and tell Mark to come to me. I'll walk around first."

Jimmy got into his own car and started to leave, but he drove slowly. He took a look at the houses on the roadside to see if he could find anything.

Jimmy is now the leader of the homicide team. Even if Ruiz requests that the two cases be handled concurrently, Mahone will not directly arrange for Jimmy to do the investigation. Although there is an age gap between the two, there is not much in the level. There is a gap. They are both team leaders, but Jimmy is only one level below him in administrative level, so it is most appropriate to second him Mark to cooperate with the investigation. The key is that Ma Hong has no more people of his own now, and he needs to find more outside. People come to help.

Jones was shot and lying in the hospital. Diana has not returned from vacation. Neil is just an external consultant without law enforcement rights. It makes me cry just talking about it. The only leader of the dignified white-collar team is Ma Hong.

That is to say, Ma Hong has stronger personal abilities than Peter. Even if he is assigned to perform tasks, there will not be too many problems. Otherwise, whether their team can still investigate the case normally is a question mark. Peter's brain is good, but his personal battle Really scumbag.

Jimmy is also very relieved about Mahone. With him around, Mark's safety is at least guaranteed, which is much better than him alone. But once Mark leaves, he returns to his previous state of being alone in a group. The biggest trouble is actually It will be more troublesome if he wants to sneak out to fish. They are not only the homicide team, but also the emergency team.

Over the weekend, Jimmy took Elliot to practice the pistol for a while and then left. Father Rodney and the others had already finished handling the scene and had called Jimmy before. Father White hoped that Jimmy could come over and thank Jimmy for his help on behalf of the church. .

Jimmy didn't really want to go, but it would be too obvious if he refused, and it would be very troublesome to be targeted by this group of people, so he still had to go, but this time he was more prepared. In order to show his friendliness, he I specially brought the cross pendant given by Father Horton and the ascetic ring given by Father White.

The power he saw in Father Rodney before, the power of the Holy Light, was not seen in this cross pendant or ring, so regardless of whether there would be any problems, it was better to wear it.

Father White was still praying in front of the altar as he had done the previous few times Jimmy came over. When Jimmy came over, he took a special look and found that there was no one else in the church. There were still some people busy behind the church, at least for now. , Father White had no intention of giving Jimmy a show of strength.

Jimmy and Father Rodney stood behind Father White and waited for him to finish praying before walking over, "Good day, Father White."

Father White greeted Jimmy with a smile: "Jimmy, thank you. If it weren't for you, Rodney and the others might have suffered greater casualties this time."

Jimmy: "This is what I should do, please don't be so polite. How are Father Bennett and the others?"

Father White: "Bennet has been sent back to his parish to rest. Don't worry, he doesn't have any major problems. It's just that his body has been severely consumed after being possessed, and he may need to rest for a long time."

Father White stretched out his hand and motioned the three of them to sit on a bench on one side and chat. He saw the ascetic ring on Jimmy's right ring finger and asked with a smile: "Do you still like the ring? How do you feel?"

Jimmy smiled and raised his right hand to show it to Father White and Father Rodney, "It feels good, it makes me feel closer to the Lord."

This ring is a little too small to fit on the thumb, index finger and middle finger, and is a bit loose on the little finger. Only the ring finger is the right size. The key is that the ring finger of the left hand is reserved for wearing the wedding ring for a while, so it can only be placed on the right hand. Anyway, it is only for temporary use. He does not plan to wear this ring for a long time yet. The uncertainty is too high.

Father White smiled and nodded: "This ring originally belonged to an ascetic monk in a Roman monastery. He was also one of my guides. He guided me to the Lord's territory and protected the world. I hope you can treat it well and it will He who protects you, keeps your soul from going to hell.”

Jimmy looked at Father White in surprise, then looked down at the ring: "This is too precious, I can't..."

Father White reached out and held Jimmy's right hand, "Keep it, you need this ring more than I do."

Jimmy stretched out his left hand and put it on Father White's hand, "Thank you, I will keep it safe. Father White, I wonder if you have anything to do with me this time?"

Father White patted Jimmy's hand, then withdrew his hand and placed it on the Bible in his left hand: "I came to you this time because this time you are exorcising a powerful evil spirit that can escape in the sun. And possessing Father Bennett is enough to prove its power. In order to ensure that no hidden dangers are left, Father Rodney hopes that our St. Andrew's Church will perform a blessing ceremony for you."

Father White did not wait for Jimmy to refuse and shouted directly: "Get ready for the ceremony."

Sure enough, Father Rodney discovered an abnormality, but he did not ask questions at the exorcism scene. Instead, he asked Jimmy to leave as usual, and waited until he returned to New York to arrange the follow-up.

Now there was trouble. Jimmy saw several people who were originally in the lounge at the back came out after hearing Father White's call, and formed two teams on the left and right in front of the altar, with three priests on each side.

The two priests near the altar also have a purple sash on their black robes. They are obviously different from the others. It is obvious that they are either at different levels or responsible for different business, but judging from their positions, they Obviously stronger than ordinary priests.

In this situation, Jimmy didn't know how he could refuse. This was one of the oldest churches in New York. He couldn't force his way out, could he?
If he really does this, even if he doesn't touch anyone here, he will be in big trouble in the future. You must know that the United States is not an atheist country. In this country's presidential inauguration ceremony, the oath is required to be laid on the Bible.

If he really ran away, it would be enough for him to have trouble caused by people related to the church, not to mention that the church itself is not a soft persimmon.

Not to mention killing people. If he kills people here, he is probably not far from death, unless he finds Roland and takes refuge in the Dark Tower world through the door.

Jimmy looked at Father White: "Is it so necessary? I think everything is fine, there is no problem."

Father White's expression remained unchanged and he was still smiling. As he stood up and walked to the altar, he said to Jimmy: "Everything is to drive away evil and protect the world. Please don't reject the Lord's kindness."

Jimmy had no choice but to stand up and follow Father White towards the altar, while Father Rodney walked in the opposite direction and stood in the aisle behind them.Now Jimmy was completely surrounded. He was surrounded by Father White, with three priests on each side, and Father Rodney behind him. This battle was already overtaking them to expel the BOSS from the Chaos Gate Church's lair.

There were only a few steps to go, but Jimmy walked in great pain and was extremely conflicted. When he came to the altar, Jimmy stood next to Father White. Father White faced the altar head-on and placed the portable Bible in his hand on the altar. , I picked up a thick Bible. It looked like it was old. The cover had an old look and there were signs of wear and tear on it. It should have been used frequently.

Father White turned to face Jimmy and stretched out his hand to indicate the direction of the altar: "Jimmy, please put your weapons on the altar and face the Lord. We don't need to hold these."
