North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 800 Trouble comes from the mouth
After hearing what Kag said, Jimmy suddenly understood. It seemed that after he killed the monster, the souls absorbed by it returned to Kag. In other words, the last floating silk threads should be the souls absorbed by it. In addition to those that were completely absorbed by the monster, there were some that were not completely absorbed due to time or other reasons, and returned to their respective owners along with the death of the monster.

Jimmy: “Are you sure?”

Kag nodded: "Yeah, I can feel it."

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll go find James now."

Even though it was already night, Kag still didn't let Jimmy go alone. Although the anesthesia injected in the community hospital was not much, it would still have some impact on Jimmy, and he was worried.

When they arrived at the hospital, they heard James sobbing before they entered the ward. Jimmy looked through the window on the door and saw that Mary had woken up.

James had obviously just cried, and was now holding Mary's hand and talking softly, but perhaps he had not recovered yet, and his voice was still a little tearful.

Jimmy glanced at Kag. He had recovered in the afternoon, but Mary obviously took much longer. Maybe it was because Kag was closer to the monster, or maybe it was because Kag had just been sucked in, so it was easier for him to return to him. In any case, since Mary was awake, there should be no problem.

Jimmy knocked on the door, pushed it open and entered the ward, smiling and congratulating Mary on regaining consciousness. James could rest assured. James looked at the several band-aids on Jimmy's exposed skin, stood up in surprise and said, "What happened? Jimmy."

Jimmy shrugged, "Nothing, just a minor injury."

James looked at Kag, who nodded slightly and then shook his head, indicating that it was not appropriate now. James stopped asking questions, but just reached out and gently hugged Jimmy, patted his back, whispered "thank you", and let go of Jimmy.

Jimmy's injuries are most likely related to Mary's recovery. Kag's shaking head probably means that this matter cannot be said in front of Mary. Since this is a supernatural event, Jimmy confirmed Mary's itinerary with him in the morning. It should have taken her a whole day to search for and kill the monster, which left these scars. What a good boy.

James turned his head and looked at Mary: "Mary, you have a good rest, I have to go back and clean up."

Mary smiled and nodded, and James took Jimmy and Kag out of the ward. There was no conversation along the way, and the three of them returned to James' home smoothly.

James only had the chance to ask what happened today after he returned home. Jimmy only gave a brief explanation and did not go into detail, especially about the situation in which he killed the big black snake in the woods. However, he did remind Kag that when he returned to the police station, he should check the previous cases related to the beach. Those people might have been harmed by this guy.

Kag nodded, but was obviously too lazy to look at the cases. These cases had already been sealed, and there was no point in looking them up now. Besides, the murderer had not been caught and there was no evidence. Even if he looked them up, they would still have to remain sealed.

Kag suddenly remembered the young man who was in a coma today. He looked at Jimmy and said, "The young man who was in a coma today should have no problem with this monster. When you were in surgery, I received a call from the hospital. A blood test found that he had a large dose of methamphetamine in his body. Obviously, he had taken drugs before he fell into a coma."

Jimmy was speechless. He had actually thought about this matter when he and Kag returned to the tree near the camp. The unconscious person must have been caused by a monster. However, he had forgotten about it after killing the monster and going to the hospital for treatment. Now Kag mentioned that the other party was not attacked by a monster, but committed suicide by taking drugs. It was too much of a coincidence.

Jimmy: “Did he survive?”

Kag nodded. "He's been rescued, but he's a little confused. We'll have to wait to find out what happened. I'll ask Noah to follow up."

James: "Jimmy, do you want to stay here for a few days before going back?" He pointed at Jimmy's wounds. Everything was normal when he came out of New York. If he returned to New York with wounds all over his body, it would probably scare Nia and the others.

Jimmy sighed. If it was just a scratch, it would be fine and heal quickly. However, it would take a while for the puncture holes to heal. "It will take a few days. I don't want Nia to see this."

James: "Then stay at home. I'll give you the key. Just treat this place as your own home. I have to go back to the hospital to accompany Mary later."

Jimmy shook his head: "Let's stay in a hotel. It's more convenient there."

James: "There's no need to stay in a hotel when you get here. It's settled. You know where the guest rooms are."

James insisted, Jimmy declined, and after a tug of war, Kager ended the topic with one sentence, "Jimmy is still a young man, he has his own night life."

Although Jimmy wanted to explain, explaining would only make things worse, so he could only accept it.

James has been in the hospital for the past two days. Now that Mary is awake, he is naturally in the mood to take care of himself. After Jimmy and Kag left, James took a shower first, and then went back to the hospital with Mary's change of clothes.

Jimmy returned to the hotel, stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, took off his clothes, and carefully examined the wounds on his body. There were not many big wounds, but many small ones. When he came out of the woods, his white shirt was already stained with blood. Looking at the rows of gauze on his body, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This time it was really thrilling. If he hadn't seen the core in advance and all subsequent attacks were mainly aimed at the core position, the monster might not have been killed until all his bullets were used up.

Of course, his own life safety should still be guaranteed. At least if he really wants to escape, it will definitely be much easier than killing the opponent. The monster obviously does not have many means of physical attack. If it only relies on physical attacks such as biting and entanglement, Jimmy's flexible movement can definitely dodge it. If he brings it to the outside world, it will probably scare a lot of people.

It would take some time for these wounds on the body to heal. Jimmy didn't dare let the wounds get wet, so as to prevent the wounds that had already been disinfected and stopped from bleeding from getting infected again. So he could only simply wipe the other places without wounds with a wet towel and finish it with a simple cleanup.

I lay in bed, checked the time, called Nia and chatted with her for a few minutes, and listened to little Liam's humming and ahing sounds, before I fell asleep smoothly.

Taking advantage of the time now, Jimmy walked around Little Rock, visited the place where he used to live, chatted with his friends in the police station, went to Justin's bar to have a soda, and his life was still bearable. Of course, the most important thing was to go to James's house for a family dinner. Mary wanted to thank Jimmy in person. It was only after she came back that she learned from James what had happened.

The supernatural events were not widely known, James knew about it because he was the chief of police at the time and there were some things he had to know. Jimmy and Kag had even participated in the church's exorcism ceremony under his instructions, so he was not surprised that Jimmy killed the monster and saved Mary and others.

Mary is completely different. She is just an ordinary housewife and has never experienced such a strange thing in all these years. James mentioned that her abnormal behavior and coma in the past few days really scared her, so when she learned what Jimmy had done, she must be very grateful to Jimmy.

Of course, the dinner was a great success for both the host and the guests, but James had originally planned to invite Father Royte and Kag, but one of them declined while the other had to be on duty, so only Jimmy attended.

But Kag didn't mean to miss it. It was mainly because of what Jimmy did that made him and Noah very busy. The guy who was high was unlucky. Although he was given first aid at the time, he was unconscious due to an overdose of drugs. A bag filled with a mixture of blue and translucent white powder was found on him, and the doctor in the hospital was almost infected. When collecting his belongings, some of the powder in the bag spilled out, but fortunately he dodged quickly and didn't inhale it.

After testing the ingredients, the doctors were also shocked. The color of the powdered methamphetamine was different from what they were familiar with, and its purity was also very high. However, it was also the first time they had seen methamphetamine of this color, so they reported it directly to the police.

Noah learned about the situation and informed Kag, but since it was a new thing they had never seen before, the two were too lazy to deal with it and simply contacted the DEA and waited for them to come and deal with it.

After all, the county police are not numerous. There is no benefit in doing such a trivial matter, but it is not good to ignore it either. So the best way is to pass it on and not get involved in the follow-up.

Someone from the DEA came and took over the small bag of powder, and led by Kag and Noah, they went to the hospital to take away the idiot who had taken too much drugs. Kag and his team spent a busy day working and writing reports before they finally got this mess done.

In the evening, after work, Kag asked Jimmy to go out for a drink, and they ended up choosing Justin's bar. Well, this bar was not far from the police station, and they were used to drinking here. Besides, Justin's management of the bar was very good, and there weren't so many bad things here.

Sitting at the bar, Jimmy chatted with Kager about what had happened in the years since he left, and congratulated Kager's son Nick on having successfully passed his rookie trainee period and now being a veteran policeman.

There weren't many people here today, so Justin came over to chat, and then the topic turned to the person he had just handed over to the DEA.

Kag is an old policeman, but his main job in the past was patrolling and handling daily police incidents. Now he spends most of his time in the office. This is the first time he has come into contact with such a high-purity product. "Can you believe it? The purity of the product is over 90%, and it seems that there are a lot of other proportions mixed in. That guy was lucky that he didn't die from the drug."

Jimmy sighed and shook his head. "It's not surprising that these idiots died from taking drugs, but have you investigated the rest of the group? Do they have..."

Kager: "All the information on that registration has been given to the DEA. They are investigating it themselves. It has nothing to do with me. Are you interested?"

Jimmy: "No, this is your business here, it has nothing to do with us in New York."

Justin suddenly said, "It's not that it doesn't matter. I heard that this blue stuff is all over the country. There must be some in New York too."

Jimmy looked at Justin. He wouldn't interrupt for no reason. "Why? Any inside information?"

Justin: "Someone from the city police department mentioned something when they were drinking here a few days ago. Your acquaintance, Jones on 14th Street, was killed because of this."

Kag looked at Justin in surprise: "Hey, man, you are well-informed. I just found out about it two days ago."

Jimmy blinked. "Acquaintance? Why don't I have any impression of him?"

Kag: "Not really an acquaintance, I think you've dealt with me before. Do you remember when you lost your gun?"

Jimmy tried hard to recall and then he remembered this old event from a few years ago. Two guns were stolen from the apartment where he lived at that time. He did go to find a gangster and thought that it was their people who robbed Jimmy's house. Later, the matter was resolved smoothly. It has been a few years, who would remember it?

Justin is familiar with the underworld, so it is understandable that he remembered the little things about Jimmy. After all, it is more or less related to Jimmy. Why does Kag remember it so clearly?

Jimmy looked at Kag in confusion, and Kag shrugged, "Because of your incident, they were tormented for a long time. Although they were not seriously injured, they were harassed for a long time. I remember it was normal."

Jimmy: "Okay, Justin, you said he died because of these blue things? What's going on?"

Justin: "They are fighting for territory. 14th Street is now owned by a group of Mexicans. They sell a lot of goods. Even the street thugs have them now."

Jimmy blinked, nodded to Justin, and continued chatting with Kag. After finishing his drink and leaving, Jimmy returned to the bar alone. Justin opened the door of the small room and let Jimmy in.

Jimmy looked at Justin and asked, "Why do you suddenly care about this?"

Justin shrugged. "Someone has offered a high reward to find the source and channel of this batch of blue methamphetamine, but it has been posted for a while and there has been no information. When I heard you talking about it just now, I remembered that are you interested in making some extra money?"

Jimmy frowned and stared at Justin and said, "What I hate most is these drug dealers. What do you want to say?"

Justin actually regretted what he said. He noticed Jimmy's expression changed as soon as he finished speaking. Before he could explain, he heard Jimmy's words and waved his hand quickly, "Calm down, I just said there is such a reward. You know, I just make some agency fees and I won't get involved in these things."

He hadn't had any contact with Jimmy for a while, and he had actually forgotten that Jimmy had always dealt with drug dealers directly by taking drastic measures. He spoke too quickly and ran into a hard nail.

Jimmy just looked at Justin without saying anything. After more than ten seconds, Justin finally couldn't resist his slightly fierce look and said, "Okay, I can tell you everything I know."
