North American Gunslinger Detective

After Jimmy and Hope revealed their identities, they asked the nurse to confirm whether the girl had any problems and make sure everything was OK before letting them leave. It was better not to keep anyone irrelevant in the subsequent questioning session.

The girl was very cooperative, especially after knowing that it was Hope who discovered that she was kidnapped by the two men and rescued her.

The girl's name is Amy Robinson. She is from Arizona, a border state between California and New Mexico in the southwest of the United States. She is a photography enthusiast. She and her classmate Martin went to the border state of Arizona and Utah together. Traveled to Horseshoe Bend and took photos of the giant rocks there.

It is very normal for American teenagers to travel with classmates and friends. They have also told their families about their destination. For a well-known tourist destination like Horseshoe Bay, it is safer than hiking in the wild. It was much better, so their family members did not stop them or accompany them out.

Everything was normal in the first few days of the trip, but when they were about to return, Amy was kidnapped. After a period of time, she was first locked in a basement and then sent here.

As the FBI agent who rescued Amy, Hope certainly gained Amy's favor, so he was the one to ask about such things. Jimmy listened for a while, then turned and walked out of the ward, calling to the nurse next to him. I came over and asked who the doctors and nurses were who examined Amy, and then confirmed the items and results of their examinations.

Sure enough, there was nothing unexpected. Amy did have abnormal sexual behavior in the recent period, and she also had a lot of bruises and restraint injuries. The better thing is that she was obviously not abused too much, and the time was not too long, so now she Although the condition is not very good, it can be restored with simple adjustments for a period of time.

Jimmy returned to the ward and nodded to Hope. Hope also put away the notepad in his hand, comforted Amy and left the ward with Jimmy.

Taking out the laptop from the distribution car, Hope checked Amy's identity information on the spot in the hospital. After making sure that the information she provided was correct, he checked the time, took out his mobile phone and dialed the family number provided by Amy. The number notified her family, and they could be here at the hospital tomorrow afternoon.

After Amy disappeared, her family was also devastated. They searched for nearly two weeks at the missing location. Finally, they received a call from the FBI and learned that Amy had been rescued and was in Missouri, far away from Arizona. I was also very excited and kept thanking Hope on the phone. Hope hung up the phone and just stared at the computer screen in a daze.

The next day, detectives from the St. Louis office and people from the forensics department were also in place. They took over the cabin and the car where the suspect escaped directly from the police. Then the two detectives came to the hospital and found Hope and Jimmy. .

In their eyes, Hope, a senior agent from headquarters, was of course the leader of this team, so they directly approached Hope to understand the situation, and at the same time used their own computers and fingerprint equipment to collect the fingerprint information of the living suspect. , to determine his identity and other information.

This is not to rob Jimmy and the others of their work, but because Jimmy and the others did not get the suspect's confession to confirm, and they did not bring fingerprint identification equipment. If they wanted to use the police station, it would be too troublesome to take him to the police station, so they called the St. Louis office. Ask them to bring one over.

This kind of vicious case of imprisoning young girls occurred under the St. Louis office. Although the perpetrators were not locals, they still wanted to have a sense of presence. Hope and Jimmy could also understand this situation, so they did not interfere with each other's excessive involvement in the case. Even the matter of contacting the victim Amy's family was left to the St. Louis office.

As a local gangster, it was no problem for them to borrow part of the space from the police station to work. After confirming that the suspect's gunshot wound was OK, they moved him to the detention room inside the police station.

After the identity of the suspect was determined, many things became much simpler. The interrogation lasted only one day and Jimmy and the others obtained the information they needed.

The dead guy was a native of Karin City. He was in a gang like Hammer. Of course he was not a leader, just a low-level gangster. The living guy was more interesting. He was from Utah. , he was the one who drove the girl here this time, and he was also a street gangster in Utah before, taking on tasks and sending people to make money.

The license plate on this car is from Utah, and the license plate matches the vehicle, but the owner is not him, but another local person in Utah. This is one of the directions Jimmy and the others will investigate next.

In order to ensure the safety of long-distance transportation, using fake license plates can easily be detected by state police on the highway, so it is better to use a normal car.

He contacted the dead gangster on the phone after arriving in Karin City. Because he didn't know the specific place of detention, he had to ask the other party to bring him here, so they came to the cabin together, locked the girl in the cabin and left. , water and food have been put here in advance, so there won’t be any problems for the time being.

Some cash was found on this guy. It was similar to the cash in the backpack that Jimmy and the others found before. It was all rolled up and tied up. It was basically certain that they took the money inside, so that meant that there were preparations in that bag. The food and water were for the imprisoned girl, and the money inside was for the driver who sent people here.

Now around the cabin, the key to not all the clues is the man riding a motorcycle delivering food and water. Whether that man is the gangster who died, there is no way to confirm this now, he does not have any transportation in his name. , and his family has notified and verified their information, confirming that they do not have a motorcycle at home. Although Jimmy and the others seriously suspected that it was him, they had no direct evidence, so they had no choice but to leave it alone.

The family members of the kidnapped Amy also arrived. They met Amy at the hospital and did not leave directly to return home because Amy was the victim of the kidnapping case and was very important for the subsequent investigation and evidence. They only Can temporarily live in Karin City, waiting for the FBI's investigation.

When Amy was kidnapped, she did not recognize her kidnapper. She was so nervous at the time that she did not remember the appearance of those people at all, but she remembered that her mouth and nose were covered, and she fell into coma soon after. Because a long time has passed, we can only infer that it was an intoxicating drug like ether.

Judging from the Horseshoe Bay where she was kidnapped and the car, she should have been kidnapped by people from Utah. She went directly to Utah from near the border of Arizona and Utah, and then was taken over by people from Utah. , was imprisoned for a period of time and then sent to Missouri, but why he had to travel in such a large circle cannot be inferred.

Judging from the fact that Hammer appeared in Utah before, and then his mobile phone number disappeared and never appeared again, this case has a lot to do with Hammer.

Jimmy and Hope discussed it and communicated with the detectives from the St. Louis office about the situation they had sorted out so far. After leaving the situation here, the two returned to St. Louis in advance and flew to Salt Lake City, Utah to continue their investigation. Hammer's investigation, and the search for the gang and the car.

Of course, the FBI's Salt Lake City, Utah office had received Hope's request for assistance in advance, so there would definitely be no problem with borrowing the vehicle, but the investigation into the case of imprisoning the girl would have to wait until they came over.

In fact, Jimmy and the others have now determined two locations, one is the location where Hammer disappeared, and the other is the home address of the owner of the car. It is okay for them to investigate on their own, but there is no other way. They still have to work with the local snakes to get them. The relevant clues are synchronized, and this case will be revealed in parts again.

Salt Lake City is the state capital of Utah. In fact, the security here has never been very good, and there is also a very troublesome organization in Utah, the Mormon Church. The full name of Mormonism is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The history of this church is not long. It started in the early 18th century. Later, during its westward migration, the headquarters and many believers were brought to the Great Salt Lake area of ​​Utah. The headquarters is now in Salt Lake City. The most famous one of Mormonism is polygamy. In fact, only a small number of Mormons practice it, and it was abolished at the beginning of the 20th century. However, there are still some believers who insist on this rule, and the age of their wives does not matter. Not big, some are at girl level.

The most famous Mormon polygamist is Warren Jeffs, who married a total of 87 wives and had 250 children during his tenure as cult leader.

As for the case of imprisoned girls that Jimmy and the others want to investigate, it is really not a particularly rare case in Utah. The Salt Lake City office previously found several such cases every year, but did not investigate it on a large scale because in the eyes of some church members , this is in line with their teachings, the only problem is that it is not in line with the law.

The clues that Jimmy and the others brought over are not particularly clear now, because the suspect caught in Missouri only provided the contact information of an intermediary, and the phone has been turned off, so theoretically it should have been destroyed.

However, given that the headquarters attaches great importance to this human trafficking network that exists across multiple states, the Salt Lake City office still provides necessary help. There is a surveillance team on standby in Salt Lake City to provide them with surveillance and investigation support, but they only need to provide a complete location. and personnel information before action will be taken.

The Salt Lake City office is much better than the St. Louis office in this regard, at least their attitude is better.

The average altitude of Utah is more than two thousand meters. This is not a big problem for Jimmy and Hope, who came from the eastern United States. The main reason is that the two have relatively good physical fitness, especially Jimmy. He is now half a super human. According to him This high altitude has basically no impact on your physical fitness.

They had printed out many photos of Hammer, Jimmy, and put them in the car. They also gave them to the detectives in the Salt Lake City office, hoping that they would pay attention to this person.

The next step is to go to the scene to investigate. The first is the location of the owner of the car. The location of the car owner is also in Boyce City, which is the city where Hammer's mobile phone signal was lost, but the location is different.

Jimmy and Hope came to Boyce City and drove directly to the car owner's home. After confirming the surrounding environment, they decided to take action and contacted two local police officers to go to the car owner's home to ask about his car. It was said that the car was involved in a car accident out of town, but the driver escaped. They came to check some situations at the request of the out-of-town police.

The police officers came out of the house after a while, and they came to Jimmy's car: "Two detectives, he said that his car was stolen, and he had reported it stolen a week ago. I just told him The police station checked and found that what he said was correct, there was indeed an alarm record of the vehicle being stolen."

Jimmy shook hands with the other party and thanked him, and then he and Hope stared at the car owner's home from afar with binoculars.

Soon, a young man came out of the car owner's house. He looked around at the door, then pushed a motorcycle out of the garage and left.

It is still a very effective way to alert the snake. Jimmy smiled and started the car and followed him. Of course, the distance was still a bit far away and he was not very close. Jimmy was very experienced in tracking vehicles.

Soon, the other party parked the car in front of a bar. Because it was daytime and the bar was not open yet, there was no one at the door yet.

Jimmy and the others followed them. After parking the car, they looked at the door of the bar. Hope also picked up the camera, and soon three people came out. One of them looked very familiar to Jimmy and the others, "It's Hammer, come in."

After Jimmy finished speaking, he opened the car door directly, and Hope also put down the camera and got out of the passenger car.

Jimmy walked over and shouted, "FBI, Alan Hammer, stop."

Jimmy's words directly shocked the three people. They turned their heads and saw the two detectives in suits walking over. They immediately turned around and ran back to the bar. Jimmy and the others also rushed over, chasing and shouting, and rushed into the bar.

"Bang bang bang" gunshots rang out when Jimmy rushed in, but Jimmy saw their actions in advance, so when he pushed the door in, he bent down and threw himself on the ground to avoid the first round of shooting. Then he pulled out his Glock and fired on the spot. After the magazine was empty, Hope rushed over from behind, just a few seconds behind him.

The person who shot just now was not Hammer, but someone with him. It turned out that there were three other people in the bar, one was inside the bar, one was outside the bar, and the other was next to the pool table. Hammer and the others re-entered. He shouted to them in the bar, and everyone drew their guns and aimed at the door of the bar. However, they still failed to withstand Jimmy's impact. All of them were shot and fell down.

Jimmy: "Hope, check these people." He stood up, changed the magazine, and rushed directly towards the back door of the bar. He could see the back door and the passage in advance. Jimmy ran no faster than Hammer and others who were familiar with the bar environment. Slowly, he finally caught up with Hammer as he rushed out of the back door.

"Hammer, stop!"

The answer was still bullets, but Hammer turned around and fired while running, so there was no accuracy at all. Jimmy dodged to the side, aimed at Hammer's legs and fired several shots, finally disabling his ability to move. , while the other young man ran away without any resistance at all.

Jimmy's target was not him, so he didn't shoot from behind. He carefully approached Hammer and shouted while approaching Hammer. After kicking away the pistol that fell on the ground, he successfully handcuffed Hammer.

Back in the bar, all four people here have been disarmed by Hope. They are more unfortunate. Jimmy was too fast when he fired just now, so his aim was not too accurate. Two people were shot in the torso, and it was With multiple guns, the situation is more dangerous.

Hope watched Jimmy dragging Hammer in and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his cell phone and immediately called the Salt Lake City FBI office to inform them of his findings. Then he called the police and summoned the police and ambulance to cordon off the scene. and taking people to the hospital. (End of chapter)
