North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 469 Nia's Holiday (May Day plus update)

After getting bored for a while, Jimmy and Nia got up, washed up, put on T-shirts, and went straight out to buy breakfast, coffee, and milk.

Everything was ready, Jimmy left the hotel with Nia, first bought some food in the nearby supermarket and put them in the car, and then started the travel plan.

As a "devout" believer, of course Jimmy first took Nia to see the St. Philippo de Neri Catholic Church, which is full of old ink desert style.

This is a more than 300-year-old church in the old town of Albuquerque. It was built in 1706, but Jimmy's investigation is not ideal, and it is not always accessible here.

They were unlucky, it wasn't open today, they could only look outside, not inside the church.This church is completely different from the churches they saw in New York. There is a dim yellow tone here, but if many people with sentimental feelings will think that this color style should be very popular, Jimmy is obviously not this artistic. people.

However, there was a white statue of the Virgin that made Nia take several photos. The statue of the Virgin stood at a corner, surrounded by a half circle of cacti, which formed a great contrast with the surrounding khaki architectural environment, which still made people's eyes shine.

After leaving the church, Nia still couldn't forget the desert. Jimmy directly canceled several museum trips he had planned, and drove directly out of Albuquerque and entered the desert in the southeast.

From the initial Gobi terrain to the edge of the desert, the vegetation is gradually sparse. Fortunately, Jimmy has just driven in this desert a few days ago. He already knows the terrain here. This time he rented an SUV. It's really hard to walk in a place without roads.

Nia also asked Jimmy to stop the car several times in the desert. The Gobi and desert environments are very desolate, and the desert plants are also very sparse, but they have very tenacious vitality. Even if they look yellow, if you observe carefully, you can still See the tiny green branches and leaves, and these are the targets of Nia's photoshoot.

The other is the cactus, which is different from common office decorations. This kind of cactus growing in the wild is so spectacular. Even if they grow together, they still have different varieties and different shapes.

The cactus stands tall in the desert, with sharp spines standing upright, and it is impossible to reach out and touch it.Some look like giant orbs, others spread out like spiders with many arms, they come in a variety of colors, from green to yellow, these are real photo killers.

Turning around on the low hill next to it, we found a shady place. After cleaning it, Jimmy laid out a ground cloth, took out a picnic basket and beer, and enjoyed the almost endless desert plain in front of us with Nia.

Nia leaned on Jimmy. Ever since they were together with Jimmy, they haven't come out to play very much. Most of the time they are still in the New York City area. There are very few such environments where they can completely relax.

Thinking of the time when I was planning to go to Las Vegas, the plane turned around midway, and the whole vacation was spent under investigation, which was miserable.Nia laughed as she thought about it.

Jimmy: "Honey, what did you think? So happy."

Nia: "Las Vegas, remember?"

Jimmy thought for a while, "Oh! I remembered, that hijacking case. Speaking of which, this should be the first time we went camping, right?"

Nia: "Well, where are you going to camp?"

Jimmy snapped his fingers, "Of course we are ready, we will take a turn in the desert today, then go to the Sandia Mountains next to Albuquerque, walk around and then go to the Canyon Campground, which is the most popular nearby campsite."

Nia turned her head to look at Jimmy, and asked expectantly, "Will there be any danger there? Like a lakeside massacre?"

Jimmy froze for a moment. This chick's brain circuit seems to be somewhat abnormal. You are a policeman, NYPD, and a police detective. How could you believe the fictional plot in this movie?
Jimmy: "Probably not. Sandia Mountains is the favorite camping place of Albuquerque and nearby residents, and it is also a famous scenic spot. If there is such a situation, it will be known all over the country."

Nia leaned against Jimmy's chest in disappointment, "That's a pity, I've actually watched those horror movies all the time, but unfortunately I haven't encountered them once."

Jimmy quickly said: "You better not encounter it, and don't hope to encounter such a thing."

Nia: "What? By the way, is there any case in your file?"

Jimmy was stuck again. He was considering whether to talk about some cases, and some cases where he couldn't even open a case.

Jimmy: "Of course there are. There is always a shortage of lunatics in this country, but they are usually in very remote places."

Nia looked at Jimmy expectantly: "Tell me something, there is no such case in our NYPD case."

Jimmy sighed: "Okay, let me tell you about two cases. The first one happened in Pennsylvania in the 80s. Four students acted illegally in a group summer camp organized by the school. They came to They camped with their own tents by a lake in the forest. At the scene, they could see the two tents they set up and the burnt bonfire in the middle.

That night, a mysterious killer appeared in their campsite and brutally murdered four students.The bodies of the four of them were found in different places in the forest. Some were hacked and bled to death, some were beheaded, and the worst one was dismembered.

Because all four students died and no one else was around, no one knew what the murderer looked like.According to the damage to the body, it is only known that the murderer used a machete, and there were no wounds from other weapons.

After the local police investigated the scene, they found the footprints of the murderer when he left and followed them for a distance. After that, the murderer's footprints and other traces disappeared, so this case has never been resolved.

The second case happened in Big Bend National Park in Texas, you have heard of that place, it is also a famous tourist destination.In a cave there, several skeletons were found, all of which were shot dead, and dozens of bullet holes were found on the cave wall, as if a large-scale gun battle broke out in that cave.

It had been several years since their deaths when the bones were found, and no clues were found at the scene, so it could only be regarded as an unsolved case.The identification of the corpses is also not going smoothly, there is no way to count the number of people who disappeared a few years ago, and it is not even ruled out that they are people who came across the border, so..."

Jimmy shrugged, saying that the two cases are enough to satisfy Nia's curiosity, and some things cannot be said too clearly.Jimmy had met a demon hunter back then, and he had several exorcist weapons obtained by hunting him, some of which were wild killers.If you really check these, you should be able to find a lot of clues, but it is meaningless at all.

In fact, there are not many cases of abnormalities that Jimmy encountered in the wild that caused casualties. The ghost in the river in Tata Town, Texas is one of them. Spirit is also one.

If Niya encounters these two situations, it will be tragic in all likelihood, so it is better for them to be city police not to come out to investigate cases casually.

Jimmy added: "Most of the murderers in the movies you watch are described as hideous and mentally disturbed. In fact, they are almost artistic processing. In fact, there are many murders without so many reasons, or even just impulsive killings. , The number of serial murder cases is not that many. It’s just that if the movie is really made according to the actual situation of the case, no one will watch it, it’s not exciting enough, and it’s not scary enough.”

Nia: "No way, New York is no better than other places, and basically has no access to information about such cases. I usually watch so many stories in movies, so I can only guess like this."

Jimmy: "Don't underestimate these people. Most of the unsolved cases are caused by them, especially the cases of impromptu homicide, so I will definitely pay special attention to them in the wild."

Nia: "Have you been camping in the wild?"

Jimmy shook his head: "It's not camping, but chasing suspects in a dark environment in the wild. Don't think too much, you are NYPD, there is no chance to handle this kind of case, just leave it to our FBI."

Jimmy suddenly reacted: "No, why are we discussing work cases when we come out to play? Change the subject, change the subject. Speaking of which, how is my future father-in-law doing now? Is he still opposing me?"

Nia patted Jimmy: "It's much better recently, at least I don't talk to me as often as before."

Jimmy: "Speaking of which, last time you said, did someone in your family join the K-Klan?"

Nia: "My grandpa, don't worry, they are not so extreme now. Why don't you meet them when you go back to New York?"

Jimmy: "Um, aren't you worried that we're going to fight?"

Nia: "No, that's it, I'll arrange it."

Jimmy shrugged indifferently, he had already arched the cabbage, so the dead pig would not be afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Would the father-in-law still point a gun at himself in the future? "Of course, I have no objection, but I still need to wait for a while. My mission here is not over yet."

Nia nodded: "I will communicate with them in advance, don't worry."

-

Leaving the desert, Jimmy drove to the Sandia Mountains, and the newly purchased camping equipment in the trunk finally came into use.

Sandia Mountain is indeed the most popular hiking and camping place nearby. Jimmy and the others came late, and several tents have already been set up.

Looking at the environment, Jimmy and the others chose to start setting up a tent at the very edge. Jimmy chose not to use an automatic tent. He needed to wear poles, nails and pull ropes, and the outer tent of the tent.

Because it was the first time for both of them to do it, they made a lot of jokes in a hurry, and even did the thing of turning the inner tent upside down when they set up for the first time, which was a rare and relaxing moment.

After working for a long time, the tent was finally finished. Jimmy opened the moisture-proof pad and sleeping bag into the tent first, then took out the stove and fuel, and first boiled a pot of water for himself.

In fact, because Jimmy is not familiar with camping, he prepared it directly according to the wild life, but ordinary people camping is not so troublesome, most of them are semi-finished products or even cooked food, and they come out to rest and play on weekends. The trouble is for yourself look for a job.

But he is not going to cook dinner at the camp. Before he came, he bought bread and bacon, as well as two packaged vegetable salads. The only thing that needs to be actually done is steak and sausage, and of course the necessary coffee.

While Jimmy was working on the stove, it was getting dark and the temperature was starting to drop. Nia wore a jacket of Jimmy and cooked the stove and dinner with Jimmy, and they did the same at another tent not far away. It's just that the people over there just cleaned up the ground and lit a small bonfire.

The campsite is right next to a small stream. The park management cleared up the trees in this part for safety and made a place for the campsite. This can also avoid accidents, so it is OK to build a fire directly, but Jimmy I didn't know it at all. When I went to buy equipment, I heard them introduce the things needed for camping, so I bought a whole set.

Cooking dinner in the wild for the first time, Jimmy and Nia did it together, sitting by the stove while complaining about the terrible roast steak, while enjoying the tranquility of the mountains at night.

There was nothing to say all night. Of course, there were some inexplicable movements in the two nearby tents. Fortunately, except for the two tents, the others were far away and should not be affected.

The next day, Jimmy and the others got up and packed the tent and supplies into the car, and then took the cable car to the top of Sandia Mountain.This is a famous cable car, the longest single cable car in the world, with a total length of nearly 7 kilometers.

On the cable car, you can see most of the beautiful scenery of the Sandia Mountains, climbing up the steep hillside, overlooking the beautiful valley, lush trees and lush vegetation on the way.

After that, there are canyons and cliffs, and the rocks are layered on top of each other, forming a very spectacular geological landscape.

Further up, you can overlook the panoramic view of downtown and suburbs of Albuquerque, the cityscape formed by buildings, streets and rivers.

When you come to the top of the mountain, in addition to seeing most of the panorama of the Sandia Mountains, you can also see the desert and plains in the distance, and you can look farther.

Taking a cable car tour is definitely a must-do when you come to Sandia Mountain, and it is also a must-do in Jimmy's plan, otherwise it will be in vain.

Of course, Nia is also very happy. Although I have not seen many landscapes on the mountain before, it cannot be denied that even if I have seen the landscapes, the people around me are different, and the feelings are also different.

After playing for a while, they took the cable car back to the foot of the mountain and drove back to Albuquerque. Nia played happily for two days, and it was time to return to New York. She went back to the hotel and took a shower. Jimmy sent Nia off Arriving at the airport, after the two kissed, Nia walked into the waiting hall with a smile.

Jimmy also turned and left the airport, back to Albuquerque, it was time to leave.
