North American Gunslinger Detective

Jimmy and Hope's schedule is more troublesome. They are going to New Mexico, but they are the first girl that Hammer has taken this time. It was nearly a month ago, and Hammer doesn't remember where he sent them. , he only knew it was a small town north of Albuquerque, but he forgot the name.

The mobile phone number obtained from his mobile phone is also a bearer phone number, and they will destroy the bearer phone number after the transaction is completed, so it is difficult to locate the other party's location now. What he can provide is just a landmark building that the other party provided for the transaction at the time. Blue A house with alternating colors of yellow and yellow. Because the mark was so obvious, he had an impression.

As for the transportation, it was not arranged by Hammer, but by a person who was beaten to death by Jimmy. He only knew that he was a gang member and acquaintance near Boyce, but he didn't know who it was, and there was nothing he could do about it now. find out.

The most difficult condition and the missing person plan were all assigned to Jimmy, but luckily, although I couldn't remember where it was, at least there was a landmark building and a mobile phone number, and there was still hope of finding it through cross comparison.

But Jimmy is not completely hopeless. At least he still has people to turn to in Albuquerque. Hank Schrader and Steven Gomez, senior agents of the DEA office in Albuquerque, since they are responsible for that He was doing anti-drug work nearby, so he was naturally very familiar with the surrounding environment.

Jimmy and the others booked flights for the next day. In the evening, Jimmy called Hank directly and made an appointment to talk to him tomorrow. Hope contacted the FBI office in Albuquerque.

They were well prepared, so after arriving at Albuquerque Airport, they took a taxi directly to the FBI office, got a car and drove directly to the DEA office.

In fact, they can also consult people at the FBI office, but not everyone knows about this place with only one landmark building. When everyone is not familiar with it, it is really difficult for them to find someone to confirm where this place is. .

Hank was still very enthusiastic. In New York, if Jimmy hadn't helped, his wife Mary would have been in big trouble. And Jimmy just received a call from Gomez and came directly to help. It was really embarrassing.

When Hank and Gomez received their call, they went downstairs and waited for them below. When Jimmy and the others drove up, they opened the car door and showed Jimmy the way to a coffee shop to sit and chat.

Jimmy had not been in contact with them for a while, and of course he would not directly tell them the purpose of coming here. After chatting for a while, Hank started first, "Jimmy, do you have any cases to investigate when you come here this time?"

Jimmy: "Yes, we came here this time to investigate a case of kidnapping and human trafficking. We have already caught the kidnappers, but they sold the girl to a person in New Mexico. The place where they handed over the girl was in Alber." A small town north of Keji, so I came to you hoping to get some help."

Hank: "Oh, where?"

Jimmy: "I don't remember the name of the town. I only know that the place where they handed over the kidnapped girl was a house with alternating blue and yellow colors. I have been to Albuquerque several times before, and even if the houses here are blue or yellow The exterior walls are usually painted in a single color, and I don’t think there are too many houses with this alternating color.”

Hank glanced at Gomez and said, "Goumi, do you have any impression?"

Gomez thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'm not impressed. In theory, seeing such an obvious building should be impressive."

Jimmy: "That's troublesome. It seems that the only option is to apply for technical support."

Hank: "It doesn't matter. We can ask other people. There is always someone who has seen this kind of building. After all, it is near Albuquerque."

Jimmy: "Thank you then. It's probably difficult to apply for a mobile phone number location nearly a month ago, and the procedure is a bit cumbersome."

Hank: "OK, it's rare for you to come over. Let's have lunch together."

Jimmy glanced at Hope and nodded to Hank, "No problem, we should have enough time."

In fact, Jimmy and Hope contacted Peter after getting their cell phone numbers and returning to the hotel. Hope even told Peter about their investigation during this period on the phone. Peter also cooperated very well and arranged for the technical department to investigate Jimmy. They obtained an order to investigate the buyer's mobile phone number, but after the technical department obtained authorization to query the data from the NSA, they found that they were temporarily unable to locate the mobile phone number.

The interval is too long, and a lot of data has been lost or not saved at all. The NSA does not strictly organize and save all data. A mobile phone communication record in a small place in New Mexico. If it is the most recent, it will be fine. It will definitely take a long time. No more.

Peter was not surprised. Handling cases is not that easy. Not all clues in the case can be solved using technical means. What Jimmy and the others faced this time was the problem of losing the signal and being unable to accurately locate it.

However, Peter has confidence in Jimmy. In their original plan, this case of kidnapping and trafficking of girls would require at least several months of investigation and evidence collection before they could locate the suspect. Now, Jimmy and Hope only spent a month. The main suspect was arrested and the accomplices were killed. This speed was enough to shock all relevant personnel. It was not a problem to waste a little time in searching for the trafficked girl.

However, Jimmy's lunch did not go well. Hank and the others received a call from the Bureau just as they started eating. There was an urgent mission that required them to dispatch. Jimmy and Hope had no choice but to have lunch by themselves and then return to the FBI office. I asked about it, but before leaving, Hank promised to contact his informant to help him think about where this special architectural decoration style could be found.

The information that Jimmy and the others need from the FBI office to assist in their investigation this time is actually not complicated. They only need to provide information about registered former minor sex offenders. According to Mark's situation in Washington, DC, such people come from Hammer. The possibility of buying a kidnapped girl is still very high. This time, a combing and on-site investigation of them can at least eliminate the suspicion of a considerable number of people.

They haven't determined the information about the kidnapped girl yet. Hammer and the others have only given the general scope of the kidnapped girl. The girl's documents and other documents have been destroyed long ago. They will definitely not leave any obvious evidence.

The Salt Lake City office has begun contacting the local police to obtain the missing information recently reported, hoping to match the girl's information.

This does not necessarily confirm the identity, because tourists in tourist destinations usually come from all directions. Even if her family knows that the child is missing, they may just call the local police because they are not sure where the child is missing. Many people do not know when traveling. Report your location to your family every day.

There are more than 8 people reported missing in the United States every year but not found. These missing cases with no results can usually be understood to mean that the missing persons will not have a good ending, but this kind of news usually does not make the news. Jimmy and the others actually have a very bad premonition. Selling girls is definitely not a trivial matter. You can guess what the buyer will do after receiving the girl, but there is always a certain possibility that an accident or other Given the situation, it is very likely that the girl is dead, especially since it has been a month. It is unimaginable to think of the harsh treatment she has endured for such a long time.

The FBI database has relatively complete data on ex-criminals. Jimmy and the others visited several registered criminals in Albuquerque in the name of the FBI to confirm their status. At least so far, no problems have been found.

They don't care whether these people really want to convert Jimmy. Judging from their state when facing the FBI agents and Jimmy's observation of their residence with his mind's eye vision, they can basically confirm that no kidnapping and imprisonment have been discovered. This is enough. Of course, Hope was still the main force in questioning, and Jimmy was too lazy to repeat the same questions countless times.

It's just that the environment here in Albuquerque is a bit not good. Jimmy and Hope just drove by on the street and could find a lot of street gangsters and some overly high-spirited guys. There are too many Hispanics here, and there are a lot of them. He has some kind of gang background, so much so that during Jimmy's visit, the other party almost pulled out a gun.

Fortunately, the other party showed some restraint on the street during the day, otherwise Jimmy would have drawn his gun.

There are really a lot of drug addicts. Even the women standing on the street seem to be in very poor mental and physical condition. The quality is also appallingly low. The economy is not good and they still take drugs. There are so many homeless people hanging out in the alleys on the street corners. Also a lot.

Finally, Hank called. An informant told him that he had seen similar buildings. There was a house on an Aboriginal reservation northeast of Albuquerque that was very similar to what Jimmy and the others described.

This is a bit troublesome. Aboriginal reservations, as the name suggests, are private lands designated for local Aboriginal people. Such places usually have their local land and tribal laws. This legal system is to maintain order within the reservation and autonomy within the community. And established, and usually, the police in the reservation are also selected locally and have fairly strong independent responsibilities and jurisdiction.

Although the FBI is a federal agent, it needs to be very careful on reservations like this, otherwise it may cause some unpleasant disputes, and it is not even ruled out that the reservation and the state where it is located may complain to the FBI.

Of course, small Aboriginal reservations are not exclusively aboriginal. Their numbers are too small and they usually live mixed with other people, so they are not exclusive, but they are more sensitive in some aspects.

Hank specifically told Jimmy not to move around the reservation at will, and to contact the police station before going there and ask their local police station to help arrange personnel to accompany the operation. Some of the customs and habits of the aboriginal people are different from others, and conflicts are too easy to occur. .

Jimmy: "Similar to an Indian reservation, right? I've learned about this. There are Indian reservations in New York State as well."

Hank felt relieved and asked Jimmy to call them if anything happened, maybe just to help communicate with the contact person.

Jimmy thanked Hank and returned to the Albuquerque office with Hope for help. He asked the office to help contact the Kolan Reservation Police Department in the northeast to coordinate their time there.

The Klan Reservation (which I made up) is located near Albuquerque, close to the mountains, bounded by Gobi terrain to the west and the vast desert to the east. The area's varied topography includes rolling hills, canyons and some inaccessible cliffs.

There is a clear river in the reservation, with lush vegetation beside the river bank, which is used by Aboriginal residents for recreation and fishing. However, the water volume of the river is not large and cannot bear simple shipping functions.

Jimmy and the others rushed to the reservation police station at the appointed time. The police station was not large and consisted of an Aboriginal sergeant and 10 Aboriginal police officers. The policeman who received Jimmy and the others was called Kano. The full name was too long and difficult to remember, but the abbreviation of Kano was easier.

They introduced each other at the police station. The three police officers on duty during the day were all in the police station. Jimmy and the others described the house they needed to find. Several people looked at each other and nodded to Jimmy: "Well, the building you mentioned We do have one here, but it is our community center and a lot of people usually go there."

Jimmy smiled and said: "That would be great, can you take us there to have a look?"

Kano: "Of course, we can go there now."

Cano greeted the other two police officers, drove a police pickup truck and set off. Jimmy and the others followed, and only a few minutes later they arrived at the community center of the reservation.

Kano got out of the car and came next to Jimmy and the others. He pointed to the building in front and said, "This is the community center. We usually come here when we hold tribal activities. The house next to it is a library and museum, and there is an art shop inside. , where tourists can buy our handmade products.”

Jimmy: "Thanks, Kano, let's take a look first."

Jimmy waved to Hope, and the two began to move around the community center to observe. This is not a well-known tourist destination, and there are almost no tourists at present. There are only a few people who appear to be locals nearby, and it seems that they are not working, but are completely bored and chatting.

Kano did not leave, he followed Jimmy. Jimmy looked at it for a while and said, "Kano, how many tourists are there here?"

Cano: "No, there are only a few tourists here on special days, and most of them are people from near Albuquerque and other reservations who come here to participate in activities."

Jimmy: "Were there any such activities in the previous month?"

Kano: "No, the next tribal event will be in about three weeks. What are you looking for? The people in your office didn't make it clear to us."

Jimmy: "Oh? They may have forgotten. It's a human trafficking case. I think maybe I need your help." (End of Chapter)
