North American Gunslinger Detective

The details of the case must not be told to Kano on the street. They can only go back to the police station together.

The two police officers have not left yet. This is a reservation. Although the security is not very good, at least there is not as dense a mess as in the city. Therefore, they do not need to patrol outside all the time. At most, they can be arranged in Just stay in the main channel for a while.

In fact, for reservations, the police stations here already have a relatively large ratio of residents to police officers. Many reservations only have single-digit police officers.

Facing these police officers, Jimmy didn't hide much. He briefly talked about the previously investigated cases, focusing on the fact that the traffickers came here to hand over the kidnapped girls to the buyers, just because they did not have any characteristics or personal information about the girls. , so they can only say that the information they currently have is that the other party handed over near a house with alternating blue and yellow colors.

For the aborigines, a missing girl out of town is not their concern. What they are actually concerned about is whether Jimmy and the others have evidence that she was handed over outside the house in their community center. After all, it allows the FBI to span more than half of the United States. If you chase him, there should be nothing wrong in theory.

However, it is still very troublesome for them to be recognized as the handover point. After all, human trafficking is different from other crimes. Normally, this kind of buyer will definitely be an unsafe factor for them, and it is far more serious than ordinary criminals. , because their security force here is relatively seriously insufficient, and people disappear every year in the reservation, including many underage girls.

If the buyer is really from his own reservation, then he must control the matter on his own side, and the FBI has chased him here. They should have a lot of clues in their hands. Maybe their own people can find the person first.

Kano looked at Jimmy with a serious expression and asked: "Agent Yang, I need more detailed information, such as who you suspect?"

Jimmy: "Before we came here, we were investigating people in Albuquerque who had sex crime records. They tend to have a higher probability of being suspected, but I don't think you have registered such people here, right?"

Kano nodded. The reservation had its own laws. To a large extent, it had little interaction with the state police, other county police, and city police. The information was not completely synchronized.

Jimmy: "I hope we put aside all suspicions for the time being. Now we need to think carefully about whether anyone came here some time ago. You just said that you have not held activities here in recent times. There should not be many outsiders."

Kano shook his head: "There are many non-aboriginal residents here. If they have friends or others coming over, we don't all know about them."

Jimmy: "Please help and ask other people. We must catch such criminals as soon as possible and rescue the poor girl."

Kano glanced at the two policemen next to him. The three nodded to each other. Kano looked at Jimmy: "I will contact the others and I will try my best."

Jimmy and Hope waited at the police station for a while and got the news from Cano. They could go back to Albuquerque first and come back tomorrow. The news hadn't been put together yet, but Jimmy didn't want to go back. When he passed by just now, he They found a hotel. Although it didn't look like much, it was close after all. If they got the news in advance, it wouldn't be impossible to set off overnight.

In fact, he is also worried about one thing. Although these police officers can be trusted in principle, they will definitely leak it when they inquire about the information. If the other party is here, or someone with connections is here, they will probably notify the other party in advance to run away and get closer. Maybe it can be intercepted.

Jimmy called Hope out to discuss it. Of course Hope had no objection. These days, he was accustomed to obeying Jimmy's arrangements, and the two settled in the small town.

Jimmy thought about the situation here. He went downstairs to get a map from his boss. On the way, he bought a cup of local tea at the boss's suggestion. The taste could only be described in words. Jimmy, who was used to drinking black tea, could only hold back and praise the boss. The craftsmanship is good.

While drinking tea, Jimmy chatted a lot with the boss about the history of the reservation and the local situation. Perhaps it was because the faces of the Chinese people were quite similar to the local aborigines. The boss did not refuse Jimmy’s request to chat, but instead talked a lot. The so-called tribal secrets are just of little interest to Jimmy.

He discovered something wrong with the boss's words. The residents of the reservation did not stay in centralized accommodation. There were quite a few people living alone or in small tribes outside the town. However, everyone usually came to the town to purchase and participate. activities, so strictly speaking, there is something wrong with Jimmy and his team's previous thoughts, that is, the buyer probably does not live here, but is scattered outside. Kano and his team are less likely to get useful information through investigation and inquiry here.

Sure enough, this kind of unexpected news was more interesting. Jimmy looked at the time, took two cans of beer from the side, clinked glasses with the boss and chatted for a while. By the way, he asked where he could go if he wanted to have fun at night.

Of course, Jimmy paid the bill and the boss was not polite. After taking a sip of beer, he started talking. There are several places to play on the edge of the reservation. There are bars and of course casinos. For a single man like Jimmy, if he wants to relax There is still a lot to play at once.

The laws here on the reservation are different from other places. Federal and state laws can be implemented here, but their autonomy is much greater than other cities and counties in the state, so there are aboveboard casinos on the reservation. Such entertainment venues are not uncommon. Many states that do not allow open casinos also have casinos in reservations, and people around are welcome to come and play.

Casinos are not prohibited in New Mexico, but open casinos are basically in border cities and reservations, and there are relatively few in major cities. Therefore, the entertainment venues recommended by the hotel owner to Jimmy and Hope, two men who came alone, were naturally in reservations. A casino on the edge of the land.

Jimmy determined the location of the casino, drank the beer with the boss and went back to the room. He called Hope to come over, and then used his memory to draw several places to visit that the boss had just recommended on a piece of paper.

Jimmy: "There may be something missing in the direction we considered before. There are several casinos here, and their locations are not together. Where there are casinos, of course there is alcohol and sex. Do you think it is possible that the buyer is here?"

Hope nodded: "Of course, just being able to open a casino here, the people and forces involved..."

Jimmy understands what Hope means. Anyone who can open a casino will have great influence in the local area. Although this is a small reservation, given the laws and aboriginal advantages here, it is still very troublesome for Jimmy and the others to do it directly. , and another point is that what they want to investigate are the kidnapped girls and buyers. The gangs here are not their targets, and it is impossible to investigate all the gangs.

After chatting briefly for a while, Jimmy asked Hope if he was interested in going to the casino. Hope shook his head. Their identity was not a problem when going to the casino. After all, it was considered a legitimate reason, but it was best to leave it until other clues were cleared. , otherwise the report will be difficult to process.

The efficiency of Kano's operation far exceeded Jimmy's expectations. They contacted other people to confirm the news that day and spent the night looking for several gang leaders to communicate about the matter. However, the results they got were not good. These people may need to talk to them. The people at the police station made good contacts, but they didn't need to report everything in detail, so they worked all night and didn't get any specific clues.

This kind of contact was definitely impossible to make by phone, so Kano and the others were very busy running around for several hours at night. When Jimmy and the others came to the police station early the next morning, Kano was not even there. Someone else beat him. The call came, but Jimmy was in a bad state when he saw Kano coming over, and he seemed to have no energy at all.

Jimmy: "Hey Cano, what's going on? You look tired."

Cano: "Nothing. Why did you come so early?" Jimmy: "Oh, we didn't go back to Albuquerque. There is a hotel in the town, so it's more convenient here."

Kano: "OK, I thought you would go home and rest, so I came a little late. Wait a minute, I have something to do."

Jimmy smiled and nodded, sitting next to Hope. The two of them were sitting in the waiting area next to the gate, so it wasn't too much trouble.

Jimmy watched Kano leave, stared at Kano and said softly to Hope: "Did you smell it? The smell of tobacco mixed with leaves."

Hope's eyes were looking around at everything in the police station, and he also said in a very soft voice: "I smell it, it's not strong, and he didn't have it on him yesterday. The police uniform is still the same, and he hasn't changed it. I saw his sleeves That light stain on it.”

Jimmy: "Well, he either smoked the leaves himself or spent a lot of time at some mixing venue."

Hope: "No such thing was found yesterday. It can basically be ruled out that he smoked so many cigarettes and leaves."

Jimmy: "Keep an eye on him, maybe we will get something unexpected."

Hope nodded slightly. After a while, Kano called Jimmy and the others to the conference room and talked about some of the news they had obtained by contacting other people yesterday. However, it was basically considered that there was nothing gained because the town was not Isolated from the rest of the world, although outsiders don’t travel here very often, there are still many people driving by. In this case, other people will not remember the people and cars passing by a month ago.

There isn't much they can do now. Jimmy and Hope discussed it and decided to start investigating people with criminal records recorded here at the police station, because Kano can basically confirm the alternating blue and yellow colors around them. They only have one house here, at least these people have never heard of it elsewhere.

It was impossible for Kano to accompany Jimmy and the others all the time. The police station compiled some information and gave it to Hope to check. After excerpting some of it, the two of them needed to investigate on their own.

Jimmy and Hope left the police station and walked along the town looking for targets. Just then Jimmy's phone rang. He glanced at it and picked it up, "What's the matter? Ruiz."

Ruiz: "Where are you now?"

Jimmy: "What happened near Albuquerque, New Mexico?"

Ruiz: "Get a phone and call this number."

Ruiz reported a mobile phone number, and Jimmy glanced at Hope, "I understand, I will contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy said to Hope: "Turn around, I remember we passed a phone booth just now."

Hope glanced at Jimmy and didn't stop the car: "I remember there was one in front of him too."

Soon they left the town and parked in front of a public phone booth in the suburbs to put Jimmy down. Hope drove forward and turned back when he reached the front. Jimmy had already entered the phone booth.

I put in a coin and dialed the number Ruiz reported, and the person on the other end soon picked up: "Something happened over there at Seventeen. We made an appointment to meet today, but he broke the appointment. I went to his place and took a look, and he was not at home. , the phone is also turned off."

Jimmy: "What happened?"

Ruiz: "He said someone introduced a big client to him. He went to see him last night. We made an appointment to meet today to talk, but he didn't show up. I suspect something might have happened to him."

Jimmy: "Big client? Or a middleman?"

Ruiz: "It's not clear yet, I just left his residence."

Jimmy glanced outside the phone booth. Hope was still thirty or forty meters away from his position. He definitely couldn't hear his voice: "It will take more time for me to go back now. You can investigate first. I and the headquarters When people are together, you need a reasonable reason to leave directly and you need to think about it.”

Ruiz: "Okay, then wait for my call and I will first investigate the information he provided to me before."

Jimmy: "That's it. I'll leave you a number on my phone when I'm ready."

Ruiz and his team's previous fishing plan seemed to be running smoothly. The business at Seventeen should be okay, and they had gained the trust of some people. However, the bait used for fishing was obviously a bit fragrant, and a big fish swallowed the bait. The hook fell out, and Ruiz and the others were in a bit of trouble this time.

Seventeen is a serious FBI undercover agent and a friend of Ruiz. His disappearance is not just the disappearance of an undercover agent, but also a precursor to the failure of the scheme set up by Ruiz and the others. .

Ruiz was able to call Jimmy directly, probably because he hoped to use his ability to investigate the whereabouts of Seventeen and the people behind the scenes. It was not that there was no one else in the Manhattan office who could investigate, but because Jimmy had already Knowing about the submarine dock, Jimmy visited the underground dock that was about to be completed when the previous plan started. Now, Jimmy is the most suitable person to investigate the matter of Seventeen. (End of chapter)
