North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 283 New Clues

Jimmy looked at the route and marked the intersection on the map. At present, the FBI's investigation is more efficient than Kag's. After getting news of the shooter's vehicle, some places on this route also need to be investigated. If Not the gunman himself, at least someone was monitoring and watching James' commute route and commute time nearby.

Jimmy thought for a while, and then called Kagge without bothering the FBI to check the information: "Kagge, first find out when and which road the gunman's car followed James. I'll look for a shop on the street. Is there any monitoring that can be compared. In addition, give me a photo of the car, and a photo of the license plate."

Kag: "Well, I have already found what you said, but I haven't found out where the car disappeared. I will fax it to you later, and you can go to the headquarters to get it."

Jimmy: "I'm at the headquarters, send it over."

Jimmy went out of the lounge and came to wait by the fax machine. After a while, Kag's documents were sent. In addition to the vehicle photos Jimmy wanted, there was also a map, because they were all taken by the traffic cameras at the intersection. , so it is not possible to accurately locate where the middle position is to keep up with James. Kager directly marked a section of the road with a thick line on the map.

Jimmy walked out of the Sheriff's Headquarters with the papers and started driving down the route to find the shooter's car and catch up with James for the first time.

The investigation could not start directly next to the county police headquarters. The gunman followed James, indicating that the intelligence had been obtained before, so it was easier to find the location and time of the gunman's appearance by tracing forward from this location.

According to the map, he came to the road marked by Kag. He parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and walked to observe the storefronts on both sides. The main purpose was to observe whether there was external monitoring. For stores without monitoring, there was no need to ask.

I found a few stores with surveillance cameras, and asked to see the surveillance in the name of FBI investigation. Fortunately, it met Jimmy’s expectations. Jimmy had already found the shooter’s car in the surveillance video at the entrance of a store, but this section of the road was already covered by the shooter. If you keep up, you can't see the time and route gap in the middle, and the next step is to deduce it forward.

After returning to find two streets, Jimmy suddenly found something unusual in a surveillance camera. There was a white van that looked very familiar, as if he had seen this car in the surveillance cameras of several previous companies.

The abnormality was discovered because Jimmy was a little too sensitive to this kind of car. In Manhattan, the surveillance car Jones drove was this white van, and Jimmy stayed in that surveillance car for a long time. Early monitoring Most of the time he was in the car with Jones.

Although there are many such vans in the United States, it happened that this van appeared when James had an accident, and it was still following James' car, which made Jimmy suspicious.

Jimmy took note of the time and called Karg, asking him to check the traffic video during this period to determine whether the route of the white van coincided with James' car.

Kag did not refuse Jimmy's request, and directly interrupted his investigation, and began to go back and look at the traffic videos before and after James' accident.

Jimmy came to the road, took out the cigarette case and lighter, lit a cigarette while watching the traffic on the road while waiting for Karg's investigation.

It’s been a long time since I strolled on the streets of Little Rock. Although there are fewer people and fewer high-rise buildings in Little Rock, the feeling here is much better than that in Manhattan. To put it bluntly, the old white men in the south are better than those in the north. The old sluts are much easier to get along with. Although the crime rate is not low, most of them are small things, unlike New York where there are a lot of big things, and just looking at those records is annoying.

About 10 minutes later, Kag called back.

Kag: "Jimmy, you're right. That car followed James not far from the headquarters, and followed until the gunman's car caught up with James before turning and leaving at an intersection. If it didn't happen to be his Delivery route, then it may be the person who followed James. In addition, the license plate shows that it is from Tennessee, but the system shows that the license plate is fake."

Jimmy: "Very good, investigate the route of this van and send me the photo first, I can't see the license plate on the roadside surveillance. Also, he followed James' position for the first time. I will return now Headquarters."

The times are different. In this era, there is no way to receive pictures with mobile phones. Relatively speaking, it is too difficult to transfer files. Fax machines are undoubtedly the best way to transfer pictures.

Jimmy ran back to his car and drove back to the headquarters. Karg had already faxed it. Jimmy took the documents and went directly to the location where the van followed James for the first time. From there, he began to investigate in the direction of the headquarters.

After searching around, Jimmy had no choice but to give up. The monitoring of the store here is aimed at the interior and the entrance. It is normal that the situation on the street is not captured. Monitoring is very expensive. If it is not necessary, no one is willing to spend extra money Part of the funds is dedicated to placing a camera facing the street.

Jimmy had no choice but to drive to the FBI Little Rock office.

Jimmy found Harden: "Harten, help check a white van. This car had been following James before the accident. He didn't turn and change a route until the gunman's car caught up with James, so it's very suspicious. , and, he used a fake license plate."

Harden took the faxed photo in Jimmy's hand, and took a breath: "This car looks familiar, our surveillance car here is of this style."

Jimmy: "Well, the one in Manhattan is the same, so I found out that he might be following James."

Harteng: "You wait here for a while, I'll go to the vehicle management office, and first check if there is any abnormality in our surveillance vehicle."

Harden ignored Jimmy, took the faxed photos and left. Jimmy was not polite. He found the pantry and poured himself a cup of coffee. He spent the whole afternoon investigating and monitoring on the road, and finally found new clues. Relax a little bit, the investigation is still the specialty of other people, Jimmy can start, and it is not easy to find a new clue.

Harden returned quickly, "Jimmy, this car does not belong to us. I just asked the vehicle management side. All the whereabouts of our monitoring car are recorded. We did not perform monitoring tasks in Little Rock yesterday."

Jimmy: "Which department would it be? This kind of car is not necessarily the FBI as a surveillance vehicle, maybe other federal departments?"

Harden: "There is such a possibility, but there is no way to go to other agencies to investigate directly. We can only follow up and investigate according to the existing clues."

Jimmy: "Can your monitoring team assign people to investigate this? Superintendent Kag of the county police is also investigating the video, or should they be together?"

Harden: "It's best not to. Separate investigations on both sides may reveal other clues. Our people are still very good. I will inform them later and include this car in the investigation list."

Jimmy nodded: "It's getting late, and it's time for you to get off work. Go back first. I'll go to the county police to deal with it, and then I'll find a hotel to rest."

Harden: "Well, you should also rest earlier, maybe you will be too busy later and have no time to rest."

Jimmy nodded, turned and left the office, and drove to the hotel next to the county police headquarters, where Jimmy was familiar and relatively safe.

　There is not much difference between two chapters of 2000 words and one chapter of 4000 words. I just sometimes forget to open a new chapter when I type at night, so I keep writing. I will ask other bigwigs how to update it later.
