North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 668 Danger Comes
What Jimmy is considering is indeed possible, but the scope is too large. For the group of people in the United States who have experienced the Cold War, it is normal to have some doomsday enthusiasts, and there are various companies that build doomsday shelters. As the project becomes bigger and stronger, there are even specialized companies that customize the survival tools and furniture needed for this kind of shelter. In short, if this is the direction of their investigation, it will be useless no matter how many people there are. Many people will not tell others about themselves at all. There is shelter.

But no matter what, now that they have discovered the first shelter, they will definitely encounter more in the future. It can be used as an alternative direction, but they don't know what Agent Raymond and the others will do.

Jimmy and Mahone waited by the car for more than ten minutes. The three DHS agents finally came back, and the two men didn't follow them. It seemed that they had at least temporarily reached an agreement. I don't know if there would be any follow-up.

Several people said hello, continued to get in the car and started searching, waiting for the support helicopter to notify them of the abnormal location again. Before being notified, they could only drive slowly along the road while paying attention to the surrounding environment.

However, the efforts were in vain. I wonder if the other party was well hidden during the day. Until dark, no armed men matching their descriptions were found in the several targets given by the helicopter. They were basically camps of locals or homeless people.

I have to say that helicopters are really good things. When Jimmy was handling cases in the past, there were very few opportunities to use helicopters. After experiencing it this time, it felt really good. At least the field of view was much faster than their search on the ground. There are more, and the coverage area is much larger. The only trouble is that there are only three helicopters supporting them now, and Jimmy and the others only have one nearby.

Of course they had to take turns to rest at night. Jimmy and Mahone came here temporarily and didn't even bring a change of clothes. They couldn't live in a tent here, so the two of them were arranged to go to a hotel in the city to rest for a night and do shopping at the same time. After collecting personal items, others are still on duty in several shifts. If someone calls the police or other police find clues, they will also need emergency support.

Two of the three helicopters have also gone into rest, and will then take turns to be on duty until the alert state is cancelled.

Jimmy and Mahone booked a hotel room, went out to buy spare clothes, and immediately entered the rest time. Jimmy was in a state of mind for most of the day today. Although he was not tired, he was still mentally stressed. He could rest for a while. It's also a good thing. It will definitely be open all day tomorrow, and he doesn't want to work hard for two days in a row without getting a rest.

The next day, Jimmy and Mahone arrived at the temporary command center, which was already being packed up and ready to go.

Jimmy found Raymond: "Agent Raymond, is this going to be transferred?"

Raymond: "Yes, we got news last night that someone called the police and found people dressed like special forces troops in Syracuse. There are no troops stationed there. We suspect that some of them have broken through our blockade and are near Ontario. Lake.”

Jimmy asked doubtfully: "Where is Syracuse? Sorry, I'm not familiar with other cities in New York State."

Raymond: "Close to Lake Ontario, just to the west of here, but some distance away, they may have obtained transportation. I have contacted the local police and the FBI to support the investigation, hoping that we can intercept them before they reach Lake Ontario. them."

After Raymond finished speaking, he continued to sort out the materials. The agent next to him was packing up the tent, and the tanker truck had also started to warm up and was preparing to leave.

Jimmy and Mahone could only follow, but Jimmy looked at the long convoy of special departments on the road and always felt that their actions were a bit too natural.

The opponent is a mercenary group. No matter what type of mercenary group it is, you can at least be sure that it contains combat personnel, intelligence personnel, and of course reconnaissance personnel.

Now that DHS's actions are so high-profile, their reconnaissance personnel must have gotten the news, or their informants must have gotten the news. If Raymond wants to go to Syracuse to investigate nearby, it is likely that the other party will prepare in advance to bypass Syracuse or directly Escape in another direction.

But Jimmy is not the person in charge this time, and he can't mobilize other people. He can only go along. Whatever the result, he is definitely not the main person responsible, so be it.

Jimmy felt more and more that the method used by the DHS people was not right. Their encirclement was no problem in dealing with ordinary urban crimes, but this time they were dealing with professional war hyenas. They had a clear division of labor and a clear escape plan. So far, one None of them were caught, and there were very few clues. It was obvious that they had made up their minds not to enter the city, but to escape in the wild, avoiding all places where there might be surveillance.

These people have clear plans and sufficient execution capabilities. In front of such criminals, regular police road blockades and inspections cannot deal with them because there are not enough manpower. They only block roads for people who are used to working in the wild. No impact.

Except for meeting other people in the wild for individual reasons, these people seemed to have disappeared. Raymond redeployed a temporary command center in the suburbs of Syracuse and contacted various police dispatch centers again, but still did not get the latest news.

Jimmy and Mahone were smoking and talking about each other's discoveries and ideas.

Mahone is not an ordinary person. The people in DHS are actually people gathered from various departments when DHS was established. These people are no different from Jimmy and Mahone, and Mahone is obviously one of the agents with a very high level of ability. .

He can also discover the problems that Jimmy can discover. Just like Jimmy, he can't get involved. Now he and Jimmy are like puppets arranged by DHS people to follow the investigation, and they have no ability to act independently.

Jimmy and Mahone were notified that they needed to go out again and began patrolling along the road. This time there were not so many DHS agents assigned to them. There was only one agent as a liaison officer sitting in Mahone's car. Accompany them on patrol.

Because the heavily armed people discovered before were in the suburbs of Syracuse, most of the agents have now been concentrated around several nearby small cities. The encirclement has become larger, and the personnel shortage is severe.

Jimmy and Mahone left the temporary command center and drove out along the path. They kept paying attention to both sides of the road until the gas tank was halfway through. They found a gas station to refuel the car first, and then found an open space on the side of the road. eat lunch.

However, their good mood soon disappeared. A fast car kept swaying on the road and suddenly lost control and crashed in their direction.

The three of them were sitting on the grass by the roadside. They were all shocked when they saw the car rushing towards them. Now they didn't even have time to stand up and run. "Get away", the three of them shouted almost at the same time. He rolled to both sides several times before dodging the oncoming car.The shallow ditch on the roadside did not have much impact on the car at all. It just bounced briefly and rushed towards the nearby woods without slowing down. After hitting a few small trees, it finally stopped.

Jimmy and the others climbed up on the ground, pulled out their pistols and slowly approached the stopped car. Jimmy had determined that the driver was the only one in the car, and he seemed to be unconscious, with his head hanging on the side. There was no danger.

"FBI." Jimmy shouted as he walked over, took a look from the window and put the gun back into the holster. "Get him out. He's unconscious. There's a lot of blood. He should be seriously injured."

The car door was a little deformed, and it couldn't be opened by pulling the door handle. It seemed to be stuck. Jimmy knocked down some of the broken window glass, stretched out his hand and pulled the door hard, and there was a toothache-inducing squeaking sound. The driver's The door was finally opened by him.This is the benefit of having more strength. Fortunately, Mahone and the other agent didn't reach out, so they didn't find Jimmy's strength a bit scary.

"No, he was shot. Look at his abdomen and chest." Jimmy was about to reach out when he suddenly discovered that the blood on the driver's body was not caused by a collision or fracture in the car accident, but from a gunshot wound. He was not very good at this kind of wound. Familiar.

Mahone immediately came to Jimmy's side. Neither of them reached out to pull the driver. Instead, they lowered their heads to check the gunshot wound, and then touched the driver's carotid artery to confirm that he was still alive for the time being. Mahone looked at the DHS agent: " Call for backup and an ambulance, this was from a rifle bullet, not a pistol. Also notify Agent Raymond to trace the source of this vehicle, as this driver may have seen our target."

Ma Hong has rich experience. The wounds caused by rifles are completely different from those caused by pistols. The kinetic energy and destructiveness are different. The location of the gunshot wound does not seem to affect the heart. At least from the beating of the carotid artery, it can be determined that the person is at least He's alive, but I don't know how long he can live. The amount of bleeding is a bit heavy.

The DHS agent took one look at the driver and immediately walked to the car and picked up the intercom to call the temporary command center. Jimmy and the others also left the driver who had the accident and came to the road to start checking left and right.

Jimmy: "Mahon, you guys wait here, I'll check in the direction he came from."

Ma Hong shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous to be alone. I'll go there with you."

The two people spoke to the DHS agent, left Mahone's car, and transferred Mahone's equipment bag to Jimmy's car. The two drove Jimmy's car along the road where the car came from and started searching back.

They continued to trace the position of the car they saw when they discovered the problem just now, but they were driving in the wrong direction along the roadside, with the help of police lights and sirens. The cars on the road did not have any objections to their wrong driving and extremely slow speed. Slow down and pass them.

After searching for more than a kilometer, they finally found traces of a car accident. A car hit a crash bucket on the roadside, and the water in the bucket spilled all over the ground. Judging from the water marks, there should be no car accident here. It happened for too long. According to the fact that they didn't see any other cars involved in the accident while searching, the previous driver should have had a problem here.

Jimmy and the others checked the scene and used the car radio to notify the follow-up personnel. They continued to search forward and finally found a simple camping spot in front of them. The camping spot was next to the woods not far from the roadside, with a layer of ground on the ground. The cloth still had some food on it, but no one.

They also found traces of ruts next to the camping site. They searched along the traces and finally found blood stains that extended all the way into the woods.

Jimmy and Mahone drew their guns and stared at the woods. They found nothing unusual for the time being. They returned to the car and notified the people behind them to come over for emergency support and surrounded the woods. Jimmy and Mahone followed the blood trails and began to enter the woods to check.

Finally they found the starting point. There was a puddle of poop on the ground. It seemed that the driver was squatting here. Then due to some accident, he was discovered by some people and shot twice. The other party did not kill them all and let him escape from here. , got in the car and rushed to the city to seek help.

But now the scene has been destroyed by the driver. They can't judge the trajectory of the bullet now, but it must be in this forest, otherwise the trees will block the bullet. This forest is not big. Jimmy and Mahone stood up and looked around. I looked around and found nothing.

Soon, the supporting agents arrived. Jimmy and Mahone stated their judgments. The agents began to search around the puddle of poop, and finally found two shell casings, 5.56x45 NATO standard rifle ammunition. .

Target confirmation. In the current environment, the discovery of this kind of rifle bullet clearly indicates that their target is here. Based on the fact that the driver ran so far alive after being shot, the gunman must not be too far away from here.

The agents immediately called for helicopter support and began searching for targets within a three-kilometer radius around the woods.

Jimmy and Mahone were relieved. This time it was really luck. If they hadn't discovered that the driver was shot with a rifle bullet, they wouldn't have pursued him here. There were too many coincidences in the clues.

The two helicopters quickly arrived over the woods and began to search both sides. Although it was daytime and the infrared monitoring capabilities were somewhat weakened, they still found several targets in the wild. The agents spread out to check one by one, and finally found a pair of targets. The old couple received information that they had seen several people wearing camouflage uniforms nearby. They seemed to be out hunting, and they were all armed.

Following this clue, some of the agents abandoned their vehicles and began searching on foot in the wild in the direction led by the old couple. At the same time, another wave of people intercepted along the road and separated multiple lines of defense to avoid missing out.

Agent Raymond also began to adjust the temporary command center, preparing to move to the next location at the appropriate time so that they can provide nearby support. Everything is moving in the direction of success.

However, things were not that simple. In a direction they did not expect, five members of an interception team were attacked. Due to their position, one of them was shot from the side of the torso and died on the spot. This was the first time since DHS began searching. A dead agent.
