North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 665 Hearing (Supplement)
Jimmy and Father Rodney chatted in the lounge for a long time. In addition to the topic of children that made Jimmy very unhappy, he also unexpectedly got some information about recent supernatural events provided by Father Rodney.

Previously, they came to a conclusion based on the information provided by various places. There are more and more supernatural incidents, and the frequency is becoming more and more frequent. Now they can confirm the authenticity of this conclusion, because the place with the most supernatural incidents currently is near New York. This area is followed by Maine, a remote state in the northeastern United States.

There are relatively few desolate places near New York because of its dense population. If there is any problem, most people will call the police or report it to the church, so there are more information and intelligence. This is understandable. Maybe other remote places have fewer people, so even if there is a supernatural incident, No one else knows yet.

Based only on the current known situation, it can be basically judged that the frequency of supernatural events in the northeastern United States and within the jurisdiction of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York has increased by at least 2000% compared to before 300, and the intensity of supernatural events is also far higher than before, driving The Demon Priest's losses also increased a lot.

Because Father Rodney is also responsible for the arrangements for exorcist priests, he stays in New York most of the time and does not go out. Unless something big happens, he is relatively free, but exorcist priests in other places are... It's quite miserable. You have to go out to work after a period of rest. Once someone has an accident, there will be a period of employment vacuum.

Exorcist priests are different from ordinary priests in the church. Exorcist priests have received professional training in seminaries, and they also need to have certain abilities. Therefore, there are not many in number. There are so many in many cities. Neither the church nor the priest necessarily has a certified exorcist priest.

Of course, in addition to Catholicism, Protestant churches and other churches also have corresponding exorcists to deal with some matters, but for Father Rodney, those exorcists and supernatural events have nothing to do with them, and they don't care at all.

Finally, Father Rodney also made a request to Jimmy. If there are some things that they cannot arrange later, Jimmy may need to deal with it. After all, Jimmy is a person who can get along with the possessed Father Bennett. Coupled with the dagger and ring given to Jimmy before, he can handle some things that are not too difficult to handle independently.

Jimmy did not refuse. Most of his several ability improvements were related to the supernatural cases he handled. Although it was mainly due to the strengthening of Black Rainbow, it was undeniable that his abilities were only in those tense environments. There will be a big improvement.

Judging from his analysis, it seems that Black Caihong has been transforming him. However, only when there is high pressure from the outside can Black Caihong improve the slow transformation of the thin water to a level sufficient to ensure his safety, just like himself. He adapts to the same kind of plug-in, he gets stronger when he is strong, and in the cases he handles every day and in his daily life, no one puts enough pressure on him, so Black Rainbow will not have any reaction.

The most obvious transformation was in St. Andrew's Church. The ceremony performed by Father White, Father Rodney and six others around him allowed Black Rainbow to take the initiative to transform his body. The original sense of oppression from the Holy Light's ability outside directly Disappeared, allowing him to accept the energy of the Holy Light and then dissipate it, without staying in the body or affecting himself. From this point of view, the energy level of the Black Rainbow is definitely higher than that of the Holy Light.

If there really is a suitable case for him to handle, maybe his abilities can continue to improve?No one can say for sure, and the high-pressure situations he currently needs are really rare, and even if he wanted to find them, it would be difficult to find them.

After chatting with Father Rodney, Jimmy went out to practice shooting with his would-be godson Elliot.Yes, Elliot's father Alex Green has already discussed this issue with Kevin, but Jimmy has been on honeymoon before, so he can only say hello to Kevin first, because Alex Kes also knew that Jimmy was an orphan. For his family, Kevin's status must be relatively high and more suitable.

This was what Kevin asked Nia to relay to Jimmy. Nia also laughed at Jimmy several times because before the wedding, when Jimmy chose Elliot to be the flower girl, he also asked Alex to pay him more. Yes, we have become a family now, and we won’t even have to pay for it in the future.

Jimmy doesn't have any special feelings. Regarding the relationship between godson and godfather in the United States, in his opinion, it is more like his former child recognizing his godfather.

In his previous life, there was a saying in his hometown that if a child's life was not good and he encountered some unclean things when he was a child, having a godfather with many children and grandchildren would be able to ward off bad luck. Moreover, godfathers are not chosen randomly, there are special People in certain professions will choose several specific zodiac signs and birth dates to let their families choose a suitable person to be their child's godfather. I won't mention whether these things are useful. At least they have some psychological effects and can make the family feel at ease.

Although Elliot's current situation is different from what Jimmy said in his previous life, he is somewhat unlucky. Having a godfather who has killed countless people can be regarded as a good luck boost.

Jimmy agreed, but he hasn't talked to Alex yet, so Elliot doesn't know their arrangement yet, but he is very happy just practicing shooting with Jimmy.

Jimmy looked at Elliot's pistol and couldn't help but think of the .22lr bullet that Agent Rice had just been shot with. This small-caliber pistol is really suitable for women and children to use as a defensive gun. It's moderate in size and has little recoil. Although the stability is not very good, it is enough for use. The only problem is that the power is too small. If it is not a face-shaking output and the shooting is in a non-lethal position, the stopping power is a bit poor.

While watching Elliot shoot, Jimmy's phone rang. He glanced at it and asked Elliot to continue practicing. He walked to the side and picked it up, "Ruiz, what's wrong?"

Ruiz: "Jimmy, there's a meeting on Monday morning that I need you to attend."

Jimmy: "Monday morning, got it."

Ruiz: "OK, get ready, it's about you."

Ruiz just informed him and made sure Jimmy heard clearly before hanging up the phone. This also reminded Jimmy that this meeting would not be easy.

Jimmy put away the phone and looked at Elliot who was shooting from a distance.

On Monday, Jimmy came into Ruiz's office and said, "What's going on?"

Ruiz: "Regarding this kidnapping case, let's go, the others should be arriving soon."

In a large conference room, Dave and David Martin, the director of OPR, were already sitting on the side of the table. A clerk some distance away from them had turned on the recorder and laid out pen and paper. It looked very formal.

Ruiz sat next to Dave, and Jimmy sat across from them. Dave nodded to David Martin, "Martin, let's start."

Martin nodded and looked at Jimmy: "This meeting is the second internal hearing on the kidnapping case of Julia Lee of the Manhattan Office Homicide Squad. Participating in the meeting is Manhattan Office Director Dave Hudson, OPR Supervisor David Martin, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Kirk Ruiz and the subject, Jimmy Young. Jimmy, we have spoken with Agent Rice once about the several violations that occurred during the handling of this kidnapping case. I’ll check with you further.”

Jimmy nodded, and Martin continued: "During the investigation of Julia's whereabouts, you entered the residence of Michael G. Williams without a search warrant. What do you have to say about this situation? What?"

Jimmy: "Sorry, I think I filed this part in the report, Agent Rice and I were knocking on the front door of his residence, and the other agent went to the back door to prevent him from escaping, and after Michael left through the back door We discovered the agent at the time and shot the agent before we broke into his residence. The situation was very urgent and we had to do this in order to protect the agent's safety.

The other party was indeed engaged in a gunfight with our detectives, and after I entered the door, I fired two shots, but neither of them hit the suspect. It only hit the corner of the wall. After that, he put down the gun and surrendered. The suspect was not injured. "

Martin: "OK, we'll check with Agent Rice again."

In this way, most of Jimmy's actions during the investigation were asked. Of course, Jimmy did not hide much and answered Martin's questions truthfully. However, he was fooled by him in the violent torture of Flytrap.

Jimmy was still a little nervous at first, but when he heard Martin asking for details of the case in a standard questioning manner, he knew he was fine.

Look at the people at the scene, Dave, one of Jimmy’s supporters. In this case, he provided Jimmy with a Coast Guard contact so that he could intercept the cargo ship in time and avoid losing Julia after being transported. Terrible consequences. From this point of view, Dave played a great role in this case.

Not to mention Ruiz, from the beginning when Jimmy was just suspicious, he activated the command center to cooperate with Jimmy's investigation, and later mobilized Jimmy's contacts to apply for a search warrant that was not strictly enough to approve. Strictly speaking, this was a bit Violations.

The only person at the scene who basically had nothing to do with Jimmy was OPR supervisor David Martin. This case was not even arranged for the people below, but the supervisor directly came forward. It was obviously to control variables and avoid surprises, so Jimmy must be fine. , now it’s more of a routine.

Jimmy also thought about something when answering the question. Ruiz must not have received the list of participants when he called him to remind him over the weekend. If he had known it at the time, he would not have been so worried.

In fact, it was pretty much what Jimmy thought. The only problem was that Jimmy killed the four people on the cargo ship and the three people in the SPA club.

The main reason was that he was so clean and efficient in his work. All four people on the cargo ship had their heads shot, and they used the 1875 revolver. The powerful kinetic energy brought by the .44 Magnum bullet made them die very quickly, and the scene was also very... It's ugly and there is a suspicion of excessive use of force.

It was also too much in the SPA club. He fired with a Glock first, then changed it to a revolver before the Glock ran out of bullets. Two bodyguards were killed by headshots. The mastermind of Colchicum was shot twice in the right shoulder and head. , directly disfigured.

The 1875 revolver was used in both kills, which makes people wonder if Jimmy has any special hobby and likes such bloody scenes.

Regarding this point, Jimmy once again reiterated his reason for using .44 Magnum as a backup gun. Because there have been many emergency shootouts before, what he needs is a revolver that can be used immediately in emergencies and has a low failure rate. As a backup gun, in order to deal with special situations, high-power bullets are needed to break through body armor or other obstacles to complete the kill, so I chose the .44 Magnum bullet.

The imitation Colt Python .357 revolver he used before, but because the bullets are not universal, he needs to carry different ammunition, which affects his on-the-spot use, so now he has unified his two backup guns.

He also showed it on site, and the two revolvers had been registered with the bureau, and they were reasonable and legal carryable backup guns.

More than an hour later, the inquiry process was completed, and Jimmy could finally relax. Martin also asked Jimmy to inform Mark and Julia that they would also need to participate in internal inquiries later, but Martin would not handle those inquiries. .

Jimmy stood at the door and sent a few people off. When Dave passed by him, he reached out and patted his shoulder, "Good job." Then he left.

Even if the action of saving one's own people crosses the line in some parts, the problem is not big. The reason why the internal hearing is held in such a hurry this time is to stop other people's mouths. If the Manhattan supervisor and the OPR supervisor personally presided over If someone comes to provoke him after the hearing, he won't be facing Jimmy.

I have to say that these old foxes are really good at their work. All their actions are within the prescribed range. Using this time difference, outsiders have no chance to find fault.

After the others left, Jimmy made an appointment with Ruiz for lunch and then returned to his office.He also needs to convey Martin's request to Mark and Julia just now, and by the way, tell them what they need to pay attention to in this kind of inquiry, so as to avoid problems when they answer the question.

As the leader of the team, Jimmy has done his best. Now it depends on whether there will be any accidents when the two of them deal with it. I hope everything goes well.

When having lunch with Ruiz at noon, Jimmy also complained about Ruiz. He didn't explain such a big thing clearly during the weekend, which made him think how much trouble it would be.

Ruiz didn't hide anything. He really didn't know anything. OPR David Martin called him directly and didn't make it clear that the kidnapping case hadn't been officially closed yet and the hearing was about to begin. Who would hear it? This news makes my heart beat. It's good to be able to tell Jimmy to be careful.

After lunch, as soon as Jimmy returned to the office, he received a call from Mahone. Someone from DHS was in trouble.
