North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 702: Failed to Capture

Jimmy and the others did not wait for the results from the Baltimore office. Instead, they began to inquire around based on the auto repair shop manager's impression of them and the image of the car. This could save a lot of time and wait until they received the Baltimore detective. After receiving the phone call, they started to leave and continued to search along the previous location information of the mobile phone, but this time their target was changed, from a pickup truck to a station wagon.

Tracking the other party based on the residence time of the mobile phone number. The auto repair shop here has shown that it is an effective tracking method. In fact, the other party cannot stay in a certain place without any purpose. Naturally, it is easy to judge that as long as they are in a certain place. If you stay longer, there must be something to do locally.

It's just that the other party's mobile phone number has no record of subsequent calls. The information provided by the NSA does not have this content, so they cannot find the corresponding person based on the phone records. Maybe they have other phone numbers, but each base station There are too many mobile phone information records. To completely distinguish which calls are together and determine the second and third calls on them requires too many resources to intervene in analysis. Such conditions are not currently available.

Soon Jimmy and the others arrived at their second destination, Laurel, a small city. Jimmy and the others came to take a look in front of a motel in the suburbs. In this kind of place, the other party only stayed for two hours, so he must not have slept. One night, they might have met someone here, or someone might have given them something.

Hope's mobile phone has received a road surveillance image of the road the two of them passed after leaving the auto repair shop. The time they provided is relatively accurate, and the investigation is relatively easy. Now he entered the motel with the surveillance image, but there was nothing reward.

This kind of suburban motel is synonymous with low-end. There is no identity verification, no surveillance, and there are very few staff. No one pays attention to what kind of car the person drives.

After leaving Laurel, the phone quickly lost signal. Jimmy and Hope came to the location where the phone number last appeared, which was a suburban woods. It was too difficult to find clues in this environment.

Hope looked around and asked, "Yang, what do we do next?"

Jimmy: "Don't rush to search. Let's search here first. They may have thrown out the broken mobile phone. If you search a few dozen meters nearby, you may find something."

Hope nodded, and the two of them started to search left and right along the edge of the woods. It was not easy to find a damaged mobile phone in this environment. The key was that Jimmy was not sure how the other party had damaged the phone. If it was just broken, It is relatively easy to destroy the screen and body. If it is completely destroyed and thrown out, it will be useless.

But they were lucky. Hope found the upper part of a flip phone. After calling Jimmy over, the two found a cell phone back cover battery nearby again. They continued searching along here and finally found it. For another piece of the phone, it seems that what they meant by destroying the phone was breaking it off and throwing it out of the car. It was not completely destroyed.

Although it is not certain that this phone is what they are looking for, it is also the most likely target.

After putting away the mobile phone accessories, Jimmy and the others went directly to the FBI Baltimore office. The laboratory here can extract the fingerprints on the phone as quickly as possible, much faster than they can return to the Washington DC headquarters.

The damage to the phone was not serious. Because Jimmy and the others had contacted him in advance, a member of the forensic department came to pick up the phone immediately after they arrived. Fingerprint development is very simple, but it takes some time to extract fingerprints and compare them with the fingerprint database. This It's time for Jimmy and Hope to take a break.

Road surveillance has not found the track of the station wagon again, because there is no surveillance footage of the two people, and there is no way to issue a wanted warrant for the local police to track down these people. All they can rely on is the scattered information that Jimmy and the others found. clue.

Finally, technicians from the forensics department successfully extracted several fingerprints from the mobile phone, three of which pointed to the same person, Frank Walsh.

Frank Walsh, a veteran and truck driver, now works for a cold chain transportation company in Baltimore. He has a prison record. Speeding and fleeing from the police are not serious crimes, but he still has relevant information in the fingerprint database. .

That's right. One of the businesses of the Jenkins team in Washington DC is smuggling, and Baltimore is already the closest large port city to Washington DC. From here, a huge amount of goods travel between Baltimore and Washington DC. This cold chain transportation The company is most likely the Baltimore team's surface company.

The photo of Frank Walsh was sent back to the Washington DC headquarters. Bob, who was arrested, has confirmed that Frank is one of the two people who met him.

Peter held a remote meeting with detectives from the Baltimore office. Based on the existing evidence, the cold chain logistics company cannot be investigated and raided, but Frank Walsh can be arrested. The witnesses and physical evidence are all available. Now, it is not difficult to apply for an arrest warrant.

Jimmy and the others were unable to command the Baltimore office, but Peter could contact them to provide support. Soon two support teams were formed. They would go to Frank's address and the cold chain logistics company respectively to prevent anyone from being exposed due to the actions on one side. The target escapes.

The team Jimmy and the others were following were in charge of the logistics company, which was also where he was most likely to appear. After all, it was daytime, and even if they were disguising their identities, they still had to go to work during the day.

The security situation here in Baltimore is very bad. When Jimmy and the others drove to the company with local Baltimore detectives, they discovered at least two cases involving shootings. They heard gunshots and the sound of police sirens. This was so exciting. Well, if they weren't busy right now, Jimmy would have to go and watch the battle.

There were not many people working in the logistics company. Several agents left one person guarding the door of the company, and the rest rushed in directly. The agents wearing FBI windbreakers and body armor identified themselves, showed their arrest warrants, and went directly to the company. They blocked the entrance and exit, and then were led by security to find their duty manager, but Frank was not found in the company.

Frank is a truck driver and does not work in an office. They generally do not stay in the company except to pick up transportation tasks or come back to handle document business.

According to the information in their company's management system, Frank should have gone to the warehouse near the Baltimore port to pick up the goods, where their company has a large cold storage.

Jimmy also asked them to retrieve additional information. Frank had just returned to work from vacation. He had taken a week off before, which coincided with the time in Washington DC.

After receiving the news, the agents gathered up their team and prepared to head to the Baltimore port. This company could not be moved for the time being, even though they already knew that this company was a cover for the smuggling business. However, there was already such speculation, and it is estimated that the Baltimore office The detectives will not let this company go, and will definitely arrange personnel to investigate here.

Baltimore Port is one of the most important ports on the east coast of the United States. Its annual throughput is basically among the top ten major ports in the United States. The main import and export goods are various minerals and raw materials, as well as food, machinery, chemicals and other goods. Under this scale of transportation, it is not difficult to hide smuggled goods, especially in ports where bulk cargo occupies a relatively large area.

Jimmy's target is in the northeast of Baltimore, a large modern building complex. This is a warehouse area. Many companies rent their warehouses here. The warehouse is adjacent to the highway. There is a large parking lot in front. Currently, there are only a few trucks. and cold chain transport trucks are parked here, and more trucks are stopping in the warehouse area to load and unload goods. The FBI conducted a public arrest this time, so they did not conduct a raid. After showing their ID and arrest warrant to the security guard outside according to normal procedures, they entered the warehouse area, but the area was very large, and they still needed to find Frank.

Jimmy stayed at the end. He came to the security guard and asked to see the vehicle entry and exit records. This is a warehouse, not a public parking lot. Registration and filing are required for entry and exit here.

Jimmy looked at several cars that had entered and exited in the past half hour and determined that there were no license plates registered by Frank. Then he left the security room and checked inside with other agents.

There were still a lot of staff in the warehouse area. As the detectives searched inside, they stopped passers-by to compare Frank's photos and asked, "Where is Frank Walsh?"

This warehouse does not belong to a company. Although the agents already know which warehouse number belongs to that company, no one knows whether Frank will be in other locations, so they do not advance very fast. After all, they have to deal with these people. All inspected.

"Stop, Frank!" "I found him."

A detective in the distance ran and shouted, pressing the intercom at the same time to notify others. Jimmy and several detectives checking in the warehouse area also rushed over after receiving the news.

"Bang bang" Before Jimmy and the others reached their position, gunshots rang out, and news soon came from the intercom, "Ah~ I was shot, and the suspect fled to the north."

Jimmy and the others chased after him. One agent was leaning against the wall of the warehouse, holding a gun in his right hand and aiming forward, while his left hand was covering his abdomen. There was already a lot of blood on his hands. It seemed that the shot was quite serious.

One agent was left to take care of the shot agent and notify the ambulance to come, while the others continued to chase north.

Gunshots rang out in the warehouse area, and naturally other people were also shocked. Regardless of whether it happened around them or not, these staff members had all run away or hid in the corner. Jimmy and the others did not see the figure of Frank Walsh either. , and now we are chasing him based on what the detective said just now. No one knows whether he is hidden in the nearby warehouse.

"Raise your hands, let me see your hands!"

Jimmy was chasing forward when he suddenly noticed a man in the nearby warehouse pointing a gun upward. He turned sideways at the open door to check on the chasing agents outside. He immediately raised his Glock and pointed it at the warehouse, turned around and ran over.

The people inside saw Jimmy running over with a gun raised, and he was a little confused. How could he be seen behind the wall?

"Bang bang" gunfire sounded, and the people in the warehouse fired two shots at Jimmy and immediately ran into the warehouse. The movement on Jimmy's side also alerted the detectives who were chasing Frank. They followed Jimmy to the warehouse. The door, but I didn't chase him in like Jimmy.

Of course Jimmy can chase. He can clearly see that the person who shot inside has left the door and is running inside. There is no danger in chasing. Soon they are divided into three parts. The person at the front runs away, and Jimmy chases behind. , the other agents caught up at the end, but at a much slower pace.

The door on the other side of the warehouse in front was opened. There were two people outside to meet the people in front of Jimmy. However, they were blocked by the goods and he couldn't see their appearance. As soon as Jimmy rushed to the corner, he fired a shot at the door. It aimed at the waist, and of course it hit successfully. However, the man in front did not fall down immediately after being shot. Instead, he threw himself towards the side of the back door. The person who responded to him also fired at Jimmy's position after the gunshot. Jimmy could only dodge the gun, and then fire back.

A dozen rounds of Glock bullets were enough for Jimmy to squander, and no one else showed up. He just raised his gun and fired a few shots at the door. The two responders at the door were shot and fell to the side. At this moment, the three of them were really brothers and sisters. .

"Put down the guns and raise your hands."

The detectives behind him rushed over immediately after hearing the gunshots. Before Jimmy had time to reload a few bullets on the three people, the detectives behind him had already started shouting to the people at the door.

"Bang bang" gunfire sounded again. The three people outside the door struggled to get up and fired a few shots at random into the warehouse. They did not aim at anyone at all. They just let the agents hide behind the goods, and the three of them Already turned around and started running away.

There was really nothing else to do now. Jimmy rushed to the door at a speed much faster than the others. When he rushed out, he emptied the magazine directly at the position of the three people, fired a few shots, and knocked down the three people. The spare magazine was immediately replaced.

The detectives behind saw Jimmy rushing out and followed him. What they saw were the three people who had fallen into a ball, and Jimmy who was changing the magazine.

The agents rushed forward and tackled the three men, followed by one agent shouting: "Not Frank."

FXXK, wrong person.

Jimmy cursed in annoyance, leaving two people to watch, while the others continued to chase through the warehouse in the same direction.

This time they made a big mistake. This warehouse was obviously a smuggling or gangster warehouse. They heard gunshots and saw the FBI chasing someone. When they drew their guns and were on guard, Jimmy mistook him for Frank. This caused a short-lived incident. However, this wrong target directly caused Jimmy and the others to lose their main target. When they chased to the outside of the warehouse area, they could no longer find any trace of Frank.
