North American Gunslinger Detective

Hope went out to make a phone call, and Jimmy continued to comfort the girl, finally getting her to calm down, and believing that Jimmy was here to protect her and rescue her, he relaxed a little and said his name.

Jimmy comforted the girl patiently and waited for the people from the forensics department to go find the scumbag Mark and ask for the key. If they couldn't find it, they would consider violent demolition.

Soon, an forensics agent returned, still holding his box, "Agent Yang, I need to take some photos of her, as well as photos of the scene, can I have them?"

Jimmy stretched out his hand and waved to him, comforted the girl softly, and then stood up. Seeing the girl sticking to the corner again, Jimmy quickly said: "I'm right here, don't be afraid, we are just taking a few photos. Let's get started."

The crime scene must be photographed as evidence, of course Jimmy knew this, but after actually seeing the situation here at the beginning, although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the situation at the scene.

The girl was curled up in the corner, with her bed underneath her and a toilet next to her. There was a small table or small chair in the corner with some sundries placed on it. This was a prison, a real prison.

Only when he saw this unfolding in front of his eyes did he ignore the professional ethics of protecting the scene and came to the girl's side to comfort her and let her calm down.

Soon, another forensics officer came down, followed by Agent Hope, "The call has been made, they will be back soon."

Jimmy: "Hope, go up and watch Mark. Don't let him get away."

Hope was startled and immediately ran out. There were only two of them agents here. Coming to the basement would mean leaving Mark alone in the car. If he really ran away, he would be guilty of a big sin.

Hope came outside and saw through the car window that Mark's upper body was lying on the middle armrest of the front seat. He immediately pulled out his gun and ran towards the car while shouting: "Don't move, I will shoot, Mark, stop." .”

Mark was almost able to climb into the driver's seat, but just as he was about to succeed, he was interrupted by Hope. Instead of waiting for Hope, he climbed into the driver's seat faster.

"Bang bang" Hope didn't wait any longer. The FBI's car had been specially treated, and the switch for the back door was not inside the door, so Mark had to climb to the front, open the driver's door and run away.

With the sound of Hope's gunshot, Mark finally stopped. He raised his hands to signal. Hope pointed the gun at him, opened the car door and let him get out, lie on the ground, and then stepped forward to check again. His handcuffs were moved from his front to his back.

When he was arrested before, the handcuffs were handcuffed behind his back, but when he put them in the car, Hope adjusted them so that they were handcuffed in front. This is also normal practice. After all, it is easy for the suspect to have his hands handcuffed behind his back while riding in the car. Accidental injuries such as sprains. But Hope made a big mistake up front. There was no guard at all. The suspect easily escaped with his hands in front of him and even drove away the police car. This has happened before.

After confirming safety again, Hope put the seat belt on Mark and stood outside the car looking at him, saying that he could not be left alone anymore.

If Jimmy hadn't reminded him, something would have definitely happened to Hope this time. Not to mention the credit for handling the case, this mistake might have affected his next promotion or something. Once someone used it as an excuse at a critical moment, it would really be unbearable. Walked away.

Hope turned her head and glanced at Mark's house. Jimmy should still be comforting the girl down there, right?

Jimmy is also a senior agent, or a senior agent in the branch. As a senior agent in the headquarters, he usually doesn't feel much. Is it really so obvious when handling a case like this? Have you stayed at the headquarters for too long?

Jimmy can take care of others and handle cases while also taking care of the suspects that Hope is guarding. But Hope just made a phone call and forgot part of his task, which almost caused a disaster.

Hope was thinking wildly while staring at Mark in the car. He had no idea that Jimmy simply observed Mark moving in his mind's eye vision and then let Hope get in.

That is to say, at the beginning, Mark had to look around to see if anyone was watching him, so he gave Hope a chance to run out of the basement. If he had been more decisive and found that no one was around, he would immediately crawl to the front and open the door to run. He was at least out of the car when Hope came out.

The ambulance arrived soon, and the supporting agent's car also followed. Jimmy was finally able to hand the girl over to the emergency doctor. After instructing them to do a full-body examination and key organ examination on the girl after arriving at the hospital, Jimmy After leaving Mark's house, he stood on the roadside, lit a cigarette, and just stared at Hope's Sababan.

Hope came to Jimmy's side and first confessed the situation where Mark almost escaped just now. He thanked Jimmy for the reminder. Jimmy just nodded and said nothing.

After finishing the cigarette, Jimmy threw the cigarette butt directly to the ground, stretched out his foot and stamped it out, "Let's go, inform the others, let them investigate here, let's go back to the office first."

Hope nodded and drove away. Jimmy sat in the passenger seat in a daze. After a few streets away, Jimmy suddenly spoke: "Find a quiet place."

Hope glanced in the rearview mirror, "Where's the request?"

Jimmy: "Quiet, somewhere with fewer people."

Hope turned on the turn signal and turned directly at the intersection. Soon they came to a cemetery area, "This is it. It's very quiet here. Few people usually come here."

Jimmy nodded, opened the door and got out of the car. He looked around and saw that it was indeed quiet here. Except for three people standing in front of a tomb in the distance, he saw no one else.

Hope also got out of the car, "I need to go to the bathroom, it may take five minutes, please wait for me."

Jimmy: "Yeah, go ahead."

Hope nodded and left without looking at Mark sitting behind the car.

Jimmy watched Hope leave, took out his gloves from his pocket, opened the back door of the car and looked at Mark: "I'm in a very bad mood now, very unhappy. I hope you can cooperate."

Before Mark could speak, Jimmy slowly put on the disposable gloves. After making sure they were put on, he quickly stretched out his left hand to cover Mark's mouth and nose, and made a fist with his right hand and hit him in the stomach. Mark wanted to bend over but Jimmy directly pressed him down. On the back of the chair, I could only curl up my legs and struggle hard. Jimmy covered his mouth with his left hand and let go of his nose, which allowed Mark to "whimper" a few times, but he did not let go of control: "Give you a chance, who was the person who wanted to give you a girl before? Think clearly about what you want. Just nod your head when you answer.”

Mark curled up his legs and swayed from side to side. Jimmy slapped his legs with his right hand, slapped the curled legs away, and then hit him on the stomach again, "Tell me, where did the girl come from?"
-

A few minutes later, Hope saw Jimmy standing in front of the car smoking from a distance, and then walked back.

Jimmy threw half of the cigarette butt to the ground and stepped on it, "Let's go back."

Hope didn't say anything, opened the door and got in the car, started the car and started to leave the cemetery. Looking at Mark behind him from the rearview mirror, he seems to be in a bad mood, but there are no obvious injuries, which is good, because Mark ran away and there was a little dispute when he was arrested, and he used his hands. This is relatively easy. The explanation is that I don't know if there will be any evidence for him to file a counter-complaint.

Jimmy didn't care what Hope thought. He already got what he wanted and also made some threats. Mark's cousin killed two FBI agents near his house. They happened to be investigating the case of imprisoning the girl. Mark is absolutely incapable of getting away with it, and with the girl found in his basement today, if he doesn't want anything to happen to him in prison, there are some things he shouldn't do.

Jimmy's strikes were measured and did not leave any obvious trauma on Mark. His hits on the stomach and legs basically caused a lot of pain and did not cause additional damage. A doctor's examination would basically find nothing.

It didn’t take long to return to the FBI headquarters. Mark didn’t speak at all during the journey. Jimmy would turn his head and glance from time to time to prevent Mark from doing the bad thing of secretly unlocking the handcuffs again, but he didn’t do anything until they reached the office parking lot. Any action may seem like giving up completely.

Peter took a few people to take over Mark and took him to the interrogation room, while he took Jimmy and Hope to his office, "Jimmy, good job."

Jimmy: "I just had better luck. Peter, is the arrest warrant okay? Maybe you can change the reason for the application now."

Peter shook his head: "Don't worry, I will take care of it. How did you find out that there was something wrong with him?"

Jimmy: "It's just a guess. As I said before, Agent Baker and the others had an incident near Mark's home. The murderer was Mark's cousin. He has a strong suspicion. It would be much easier to arrest and retry it than for us to investigate. , but the procedures are not easy to handle.”

Peter sighed, "How's that girl?"

Jimmy: "It's not clear yet. A detective accompanied her to the hospital. Let's wait for news. But it looks very bad. The girl must have been imprisoned for a long time and was abused."

Peter: "What do you think? Follow-up investigation."

Jimmy: "Keep investigating, maybe we will gain a lot this time."

Peter nodded: "Do you want to participate in the interrogation?"

Jimmy: "No, you can try it."

Peter nodded, "Then you can go back and have a rest first. I'll have someone notify you if there's any news."

Jimmy left Peter's office, and Peter began to ask Hope what happened in this investigation. Hope was with Jimmy basically the whole time. He didn't know how Jimmy judged the need to arrest Mark directly. Jimmy only arrived at the scene. In the car, he directly asked Hope to arrest Mark without conducting an on-site investigation, which was completely consistent with the reason Jimmy just mentioned.

Peter understood the entire investigation, including how Hope finally left the car to go to the bathroom and left Jimmy and Mark together for a few minutes. He arranged for Hope to find someone to go with him for interrogation. Peter sat back behind his desk and found Mark again. I looked at the information.

This is a person who has been in prison, and he went to prison for sexual behavior. In prison, this kind of person is the bottom class. Even if there are gang members looking after him, he is still a class despised by other prisoners. This means Since he has accepted the darkest side of prison, this has the basis for intimidation. It seems that Jimmy did it very covertly. When they took over Mark, Mark did not resist or shout complaints. This also means that Now that Jimmy has obtained some information, what does he want to do?

Peter is no longer the field agent who investigated white-collar cases. He has more things to consider, including Jimmy's future arrangements.

The reason why he deliberately asked Jimmy if he wanted to participate in the interrogation was because of many reasons. This case needed to allow the agents here at the headquarters to share a portion of the credit. Jimmy had already completed the preliminary investigation and arrests, so the interrogation would involve others. After a while, they will all be assigned to the investigation team. If there are other investigation and arrest tasks later, they can also participate in field tasks.

But now that Jimmy has obtained the information in advance, does it mean that Jimmy hopes to handle the follow-up by himself?

If this case of imprisoning a girl was an independent case, the follow-up would be to contact the girl's family and interrogate Mark, then close the case and submit it to the federal prosecutor. However, this time it is not an independent case, but a case of transporting a kidnapped and imprisoned girl. In other words, they should have a gang. The girls they imprisoned may not have been kidnapped by themselves, but exchanged with each other. Then the subsequent investigation may involve multiple states and regions. This is A major related case.

If you leave it to Jimmy to handle it, how will you arrange it here?

These are things that Peter needs to worry about. He can't just return Jimmy to Manhattan. The biggest credit for this case is that Jimmy handled it, and it can only belong to Jimmy. If others want to pick peaches, they can only pick some scraps from the side. Jimmy Definitely not going back to Manhattan.

In the evening, Peter brought half a dozen beers to the hotel where Jimmy was staying, knocked on the door and entered the room. He raised the beer in his hand and said to Jimmy: "I brought a beer, let's drink some together."

Jimmy smiled and took it, and the two of them sat on the sofa and each opened a can: "Peter, how was your interrogation?"

Peter: "The results are already available. The girl's examination has also been completed and her identity has been confirmed. We have notified her parents and they will come tomorrow."

Jimmy: "How's she doing?"

Peter: "There are many bruises on her body, and there are signs of rape. Her mental state is very poor. She has been missing for a year. According to the inquiry of the psychological expert, she has been transferred before, and this is already the third time she has been there. A place.”

Jimmy: "Damn Mark."

Peter: "Jimmy, are you interested in continuing the investigation? Maybe this will be a long-term task, and this investigation may last for several months."

Jimmy: "Is that okay? I'm from the Manhattan office after all."

Peter: "As long as you want." (End of chapter)
