North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 244 Tangled Hughes

When he came to the parking lot, there was no one around, Peter finally couldn't maintain his calm face, "Hahahaha", Peter laughed and patted the roof of the car.

Jimmy and the others looked at Peter's grin from ear to ear, and they also laughed. For the detectives like them, these reckless people in the support force have never dealt with them very much, and the two sides have completely different rules of conduct. It was a joy to see them deflated for the first time.

Peter was a little happier. After all, Jimmy was in his own group. Seeing Ruiz's appearance was really refreshing. The two of them didn't deal with each other very much, and there were not many opportunities like this.

It has been a long time since Jimmy has shot so comfortably. Shooting is not counted. In that kind of high-stress situation, he can't feel much joy at all. But shooting in the shooting range without any psychological pressure is definitely a panacea for relaxing. He has worked hard for a long time to change bombs and his special ability, and finally showed a part of it in front of others for the first time. So far, the deterrent effect is good.

After laughing for a while, Peter finally stopped. He waved his hand, "Get in the car, we are going to leave."

Jimmy: "It's rare to be so happy today, let's go have dinner together, and then go back."

Peter: "No problem, let's go."

Although Jimmy’s demo didn’t take long, it’s almost noon since he arrived in Staten Island from Manhattan in the morning, and now he’s returning directly to Manhattan, it must be already afternoon, so he can settle his lunch directly on Staten Island without worry.

I had a happy lunch. There were not many opportunities for people in the group to go out to eat together. Jimmy handed over his credit card first. In fact, it didn't cost much, and he could get a good impression. It was a small-cost, high-yield human investment.

Peter and the others are happy, but some people are not so happy.At noon, when Hughes was enjoying his lunch, his phone started to ring. After answering the phone and chatting for a few words, he hung up. Hughes' good mood disappeared instantly.

Jimmy's performance in the morning was a little bit beyond the standard, and everyone present didn't have any friends, and the news spread within a certain range in an instant.

The person who can make a call to Hughes must not be a small person. Generally, if it is just an ordinary person, he will call Peter at most.

Hughes was in a good mood at noon. After a hasty lunch, he rushed back to Federation Square and entered the office. Hughes hung his suit on the hanger, took out his mobile phone and called Peter: "Peter, where are you?" ?”

Peter answered the phone while driving: "I just came back from Staten Island and I've arrived in Manhattan. What happened?"

Hughes: "Come to my office when you get back." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone directly, without even giving Peter a chance to say goodbye.

Peter stuffed his phone back into his pocket and wondered what it was that made Hughes so angry as he drove.

Soon, Peter and the others returned to the office, the others returned to their respective positions, and Peter went directly into Hughes' office.

Hughes stood up and came to Peter from behind the table: "Peter, what did you do this morning?"

Peter was also a little confused by Hughes, and said carefully: "Ruiz reported the case to the support force, and they asked Jones and Jimmy to go to the training ground to recreate the scene."

Hughes frowned: "Only these?"

Peter: "They didn't really trust Jimmy's marksmanship, so Jimmy practiced his marksmanship on the shooting range for a while. I have to say that the perfect score for the academy shooting project is really not at all watery, which is very good."

Hughes clapped his hands: "That's it. I have answered several calls since noon to ask about Jimmy. No wonder they are so caring."

Hughes returned to his seat and sat down, tapping the table with his right hand and thinking.

After a while, Hughes asked Peter, "How is Jimmy with you?"

Peter thought for a while: "Very good, although a little reckless, but very honest, and completed the assigned tasks very well."

Hughes: "What about your evaluation? His judgment on the clues of the case?"

Peter: "Good, it doesn't look like the lack of judgment in the college reviews, at least it's at an average level. In addition, he seems to have very unexpected inspirations sometimes. This time we can find Nathan Bird as quickly as possible. The gunman who was killed in the case was the location he went to investigate and determine."

Hughes: "You know, several people want to transfer Jimmy, what do you think?"

Peter paused for a moment and thought about it: "Jimmy is still very good, I certainly hope he can stay in my team."

Hughes: "Let me think about it again." Hughes waved to Peter and told Peter to leave, so he could think about it again.

In fact, now Hughes is facing the same choice as James back then, except that James is the boss of the county police, the kind who promises everything, while Hughes is just a deputy in the New York office, not even the boss.

Peter turned and left his office, went back to his own office, unbuttoned his suit and sat down.

It was really cool to watch Jimmy perform in the morning, and it was really cool to see Ruiz deflated, but it was really uncomfortable to be poached suddenly.Although Jimmy does not meet his requirements, he has no understanding of artworks, and has no experience in handling cases, but as the strongest force in the team, this role has become indispensable in his team after two or three weeks of cooperation. important role.

Jones had served in the navy before, but his force was far behind Jimmy's. If Jimmy was transferred, he would suffer a heavy loss here.

Peter thought about it for a while, and then gave up. There was not much he could do in terms of personnel transfer, but it was not suitable for Jimmy to participate in the case for the time being, so let him rest for a while.

Peter flipped through the case files at his job to pick his next case.

Because Peter has not yet assigned a case, Jimmy can only continue to read the case files boringly. When he thinks that he will continue to work as a trainee detective for more than 5 months, he feels that his eyes are dark, it has been too long, and it is too boring. Looking at these case files is so boring that I want to fall asleep.

Now Jimmy hoped that Peter would send the case quickly so that he could go out, even if he was in a daze in the monitoring car, it would be better than sitting in the office.

Peter walked out of the office, "Diane, help me get our Snow White file."

Diana turned to look at Peter upstairs: "Are you sure?"

Peter: "Yes, I'm sure."

Diana got up and went to the filing cabinet to the side and started to get the files, while Peter returned to the office.

Jimmy turned to Jones: "Hey Jones, who is Snow White?"

Jones sighed. "Damn it, it's starting again. Snow White is a code name, a forgery we've been chasing before."
