North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 718 Throwing the gun

Jimmy hung up the phone and did not leave the phone booth. This was a phone booth outside the town, and no one would come. Jimmy just leaned next to the phone and pondered Ruiz's words.

Jimmy actually didn't have much friendship with Seventeen. He had helped investigate some cases at first, but in the end it was Jimmy who sent him and his gang to prison, which made him take the initiative to expose his identity and return to the FBI.

But later he returned to the underground world. Although it was Ruiz and the others who had a new plan, it was undeniable that if Seventeen was unwilling to go back, no one else could force an agent who had been undercover for many years to lose his identity again. His apparent identity continues to be undercover.

Seventeen voluntarily returned to the underground world. This was his choice, but Jimmy didn't like Seventeen's style of doing things at all.

The submarine dock he is now responsible for has been in operation for some time. There must be no shortage of various kinds of smuggled goods, which must contain the drugs that Jimmy hates most. Ruiz and the others did not make any big gains, which means that they The gangs provide a temporary channel, and maybe the final goal they can achieve is good, but from now on, what they do is no different from the gangs.

How many benefits some people have received from this channel has nothing to do with Jimmy. He has never participated or received any benefits. Now if there is a problem, let Jimmy handle it. No matter what, it is not right. The interests of this matter The relevant parties should deal with it first. Even if Jimmy got involved, it was just to save an FBI undercover colleague and had nothing to do with Seventeen.

After staying in the phone booth for a few minutes, Jimmy came out. When Hope saw Jimmy coming out from a distance, he started the car and picked up Jimmy. They returned to the town again and continued to observe potential targets based on the information provided by the police station. .

Hope: "What happened?"

Jimmy: "Well, something went wrong over there in New York. I'm still thinking about whether to go back."

Hope: "Personal matter?"

Jimmy turned to look at Hope, then looked at the house next to him again, "No, it's official business. It just doesn't have much to do with my previous department. Let's continue with our case."

Jimmy has made up his mind. This investigation will be handled by Ruiz and the others for the time being. If Seventeen can't even last the time for this investigation, the most they can do is avenge him in the end. What they will do then is the same as Seventeen no problem.

Ruiz's side is not easy to explain. His relationship with Jimmy is much stronger than that of other people in the bureau. Now he is calling Jimmy in the hope that he can come forward to solve the matter. However, Jimmy is not too worried. Ruiz is not a young man, he can still communicate, and he will not hang up the phone and stop contacting him if he disagrees.

Jimmy and the others visited some ex-convicts, mainly to observe the environment. If they met, they would stop by to visit and chat. They could find any reason, even if it was just to visit the ex-convicts' living conditions, it was reasonable.

It's just that Jimmy and the others basically didn't gain much. They only saw a very few people, and the rest of them were not at home at all. Jimmy also observed their home from his mind's eye vision, and did not find any hidden basement prisons or the like. As for It's normal to find hidden space weapons in the room. There are a lot of guns here in New Mexico. It's normal for these people to have some ghost guns. Jimmy is not here to handle these cases.

Soon they completed the investigation in the town. Jimmy looked at the time and said to Hope: "Let's go back to the hotel and take a rest. Do you remember what we said in the morning? We will follow Kano tonight."

Hope: "No problem, you rest first, I'll go and keep an eye on you near the police station."

Jimmy looked at Hope in surprise: "Are you sure?"

Hope nodded: "I'll be fine."

Jimmy: "OK, I'll find you in three hours."

Hope drove away, and Jimmy did not return to the hotel. Instead, he walked to a mobile phone store not far away. Of course, prepaid mobile phones are sold everywhere, and this was not the first time Jimmy bought it.

Back in the hotel room, Jimmy called Ruiz. His investigation here had reached a critical moment and he couldn't leave for the time being. He was accompanied by a headquarters agent. In this case, he couldn't go back to New York directly to investigate, otherwise You have to choose a good reason with the other person.

Although Ruiz was a little surprised, he didn't say anything else. He would arrange for others to investigate. If Jimmy needed to intervene later, he hoped that he could come back to help them.

Of course, Jimmy did not refuse. Of course, Ruiz's request was not for Jimmy to save Seventeen, but to avenge Seventeen. For the Manhattan Office, when they really want to take action, Jimmy must be their most reliable companion.

This matter was out of Jimmy's business for the time being. He put his cell phone on the bedside and lay down to rest. He only had more than two hours, so he was still quite nervous. There was no doubt that he would be the main force following him at night, and Hope would be the most popular by then. Just rested in the car.

It was quite normal for Kano to go to work during the day, but he stayed at the police station in the afternoon and did not come out until Jimmy arrived. Hope did not notice that he had left the house. He only went to the police car once in the afternoon, so Hope could be sure that he Always at the police station.

Seeing Kano's state this morning, they assessed that Kano had gone somewhere to stay for a while, rather than smoking the leaves himself. Then seeing Kano's state at work during the day, they were more certain that Kano was not smoking. Ye Zi, otherwise he would not have been able to maintain his mental state for such a long time, and he would be dead now.

So Kano must have gone somewhere yesterday. The tobacco was mixed with leaves. The smell was obviously a gang stronghold.

As a local snake, Kano must know a lot more things and know many more people than Jimmy and the others. If Jimmy and the others can rely on some ex-criminals to deduce the possibility of the suspect, Kano will only guess faster. At least there was a scope. He must have gone to find the corresponding person last night.

Jimmy and the others watched the police station from a distance, waiting until Kano left the police station and followed him.

Facts have proved that Jimmy's judgment was correct. It was not until nearly ten o'clock in the evening, when it was dark outside, that the car lights came on in front of Kano's house. Jimmy followed behind with the lights turned off, heading towards the outskirts of the reservation.

The town still seemed very quiet at night, but the further outside, Jimmy found that it became more and more lively, and colorful lights of various colors began to appear frequently, indicating that every building was in business.

In these places, Jimmy basically didn't see residential houses. Most of them were square meters, and only a few were two-story buildings. After bypassing some houses in front, Kano stopped outside a bar, got out of the car and looked around. I straightened my clothes, looked around, and walked to the bar.

Jimmy and the others also came over and parked the car outside the bar. Jimmy just sat in the driver's seat and stared at Kano who entered. Fortunately, there were not many people here. Although they could only see various outlines, it was still enough to make Jimmy He stared at Kano from the door.

Jimmy: "Hope, are you interested in going in and taking a look?"

Hope looked at Jimmy: "Okay, let's go together?" Jimmy: "No, you are just going to drink. You don't need to get close to Kano. Go in and have a drink to relax, and don't disturb them."

Hope at least looks white, and is not much different from the people around her. Jimmy, a Chinese, is too conspicuous no matter where he appears.

Hope took off his tie, then messed up his hair a little, and unbuttoned his cuffs to make himself look more relaxed. Then he nodded to Jimmy and got out of the car and walked to the bar.

This is a good move. Hope must have a lot of experience. This lazy state is more relaxed and less aggressive than that of a formal agent. He looks like a middle-aged man who is out to relax, not someone who is ready to cause trouble. .

Although Jimmy goes in and out of bars more often, he definitely won't make these preparations in advance, and the effect is relatively poor. However, his Chinese appearance is not that aggressive, so most people won't care too much. , but this is a reserve, so it’s understandable that the surrounding white people come here to play. If a Chinese suddenly appears, it’s really a giant panda appearing in the crowd.

After Hope entered the bar, he was still under Jimmy's observation range. He made the same choice as Jimmy. He came to the bar. Judging from the size of the cup, he should have ordered a glass of cold beer. However, Kano, who had entered the bar before, was not at the bar, but At a table in the corner.

If it weren't for the relatively small number of people inside, Jimmy might have lost track of him very quickly. When he turned around to talk to Hope just now, Kano had moved his position.

With Hope observing inside, Jimmy could relax a little. He looked at the house next to him. There were some people sitting around a few tables. This was the small casino. Of course, this small one was aimed at the large casinos in big cities. The casinos on the edge of this reservation are basically small casinos, and not many of them have real casino licenses. They are just small strongholds controlled by gangs, similar to the underground casinos in the city.

Jimmy can't see it any further away, but it doesn't matter, you can take a look when you pass by later.

Soon, Hope left the bar and came out and returned to the car. "Kano was drinking with others inside. Although he couldn't hear everything, it probably had nothing to do with us. It seemed like he was with friends."

Jimmy: "Who is he?"

Hope: "Ordinary people, they didn't look like gang members, but I saw a revolver on one of them's waist, completely exposed. From that point of view, they were probably from the neighborhood. A rancher or a cowboy or something.”

Jimmy: "Then don't pay attention, let's leave it like that."

Jimmy started the car and was about to return. Hope suddenly said: "Wait a minute, there is a piece of news that has not been confirmed yet. Just now the bartender said to another person that there are new people coming to a nearby place recently. If you want to relax, you can go Look. I didn’t ask in detail, but I suspect they were talking about women.”

Jimmy stopped and thought for a moment, "Did you hear the location?"

Hope: "No, but since the bartender said so, it should be around here."

Jimmy: "Nearly a month, that should be enough."

Hope: "Well, so I suspect that might be the case over there."

Jimmy: "But we don't have any clues to determine her identity."

Hope couldn't help it. The two sat in the car, and the news made them a little depressed.

After a while, Jimmy started the car again and left, "No way, we can do as much as we can. I think we need to investigate this place carefully in the past two days. Your appearance makes it easier to hide in the crowd, so you should do the investigation. .”

Hope: "Yeah, but not this car."

Jimmy: "When we go back to Albuquerque tomorrow, I think Hank and the others should have a camouflage car that they can use, or they can just get a second-hand car to make do with it."

The next investigation was focused on Hope. More than half of the people on the reservation were white and Hispanic. As long as Hope paid attention, it was easy for people to ignore him.

In the end, it was not Hank who lent them the car, but Steven Gomez, because Hank's private car was a little more expensive and looked out of place on the reservation, while Steven's car was a A pickup truck, which is a very common vehicle in New Mexico, so Hope still chose this one, but in the past few days, he has needed the car that was provided in the beginning to go around.

Hope's investigation was still very effective. In just two days, he found out two places next to the bar that offered sex trade, and the place where the bartender mentioned that there were new people happened to be one of them, but he was not lucky. Great. I spent some money but only saw a young woman of different ages. And according to some of Hope's descriptions, this woman must be a professional with very good skills. Hope's money was well spent. The only problem is that she is not considered a beauty, and it can only be said that she does not fit in with Hope's aesthetics.

Next is the action of the two people. Hope plays a middle-aged man who is bored playing nearby. He has not repaired his beard for a few days. Coupled with the deliberate imitation, he now looks like the people nearby. The image of the girl was very close, and he wandered around the area many times, while Jimmy watched from a distance in the car, watching how the girls here left. If someone came to pick them up, Jimmy could follow them.

All the plans went perfectly, but there was still a problem with Hope. He took a day off to recuperate and came to the den again and hired a technician. However, when he took off his clothes, the gun placed on the bedside The woman saw him, and at the end of the day, when he was changing clothes, the woman took advantage of him not paying attention and picked up the Glock on the bedside.

"Put down the gun." Of course Hope couldn't be completely defenseless, but this had never happened before. Now that he made a mistake, he could only reach out to comfort him.

"Let me go, please, I need this." The woman begged Hope, pointed the gun at him, reached for the door handle, opened the door, and left directly.

"Fxxk!" Hope's place of activity was in a nearby motel, and Jimmy was not far away. He immediately called Jimmy, said while getting dressed, and then rushed out.

　My K, I didn’t set the timer.
