North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 476 Decision
Hunting is nothing special, the time is wrong, and they can only shoot some small animals, which is not exciting.

Jimmy didn't say anything the whole time, but just followed the two old men silently, except that he answered a phone call and walked away for a few minutes.The two old men didn't talk about any special topics. They mainly talked about how Hughes should live his retirement life, so Jimmy never knew what they were thinking.

Jimmy just answered the call from Steven, Steven from the Albuquerque DEA. Although Jimmy has only been away for a few days, he has not left Steven's attention, because the news from Mexico surprised him .

Barrio, the boss of Atez, committed suicide after being raided in his manor, killing more than 20 armed security personnel. At the same time, the son of the mayor of Nuevo Laredo, who was a guest at Barrio, was also shot dead.

This incident caused quite a stir in the underground world. It also caused many gangsters in border cities in Mexico to adjust their security and arrange for their families to leave. Some gangsters who were related to Barrio went directly to their The safe house is commanded by remote control, avoiding the limelight for a while.

It was really scary. According to the latest investigation, it was originally thought that there was at least a special operations team with more than three people, but according to the investigation results of some former police officers, there should be only one person at the scene.

It is not a big problem to attack a few security guards in the front, and many people can do it, but the record of completely annihilating opponents without getting injured in a shootout with more than a dozen security guards in the back and backyard really makes people have to be cautious. The security team formed by the gangsters themselves will definitely not be able to handle it.

Such information was also obtained by the DEA's informants in Mexico and passed on to the DEA at the same time.As the office of the border state, the Albuquerque DEA office naturally got the information immediately. For others, this matter has little to do with them.

But for Steven, he directly connected this massacre battle with Jimmy.The Tim that Jimmy investigated before is the second in command of Artez. He also got a suitcase after Jimmy did business, and made a small credit with Hank.

If Tim and his men can be killed, it is not impossible for Jimmy to raid Mexico to kill the boss of Atez, and this incident proves how strong Jimmy, who came out of the CIA, is.

Steven went out, found a place where no one was around, and called Jimmy. He didn't talk about specific things on the phone, just chatted a few words, and then invited him to come to Albuquerque again when he was free, and then hung up the phone.

Jimmy was actually a little surprised by this phone call, and he was a little confused. He just came back from Albuquerque. Before he came back, he met with Steven and Hank and went to school. Why is he calling again now?But it's okay, anyway, I won't go to Albuquerque for the time being, just keep a favor.

When Jimmy left to call, the two old men also said something, but Jimmy didn't hear it at all.

After walking around for a while, they returned to the farmer's house. Today's harvest was not very good, and they didn't see a single large animal, so they shot a few wild ducks and a few groundhogs passing by, but this didn't affect the harvest. They eat roasted meat because it is prepared early in the morning.

The barbecue is no longer the three of Jimmy and the others, and the hired workers on the farm also participated.Although the farm belongs to Lambert, his family is not here. There are only hired workers on the farm, but judging from their relationship, the old man Lambert doesn't treat the hired workers so harshly. The relationship between them is very good. good.

After eating the barbecue, Jimmy said goodbye and left, but Lambert and Hughes did not leave.

Looking at the Victoria Crown in the distance, Lambert said: "How is it? Has it been decided?"

Hughes: "Not yet, you know, I'm retiring soon."

Lambert: "You've been saying that you're going to retire for two or three years."

Hughes sighed, turned and walked back to the living room, the two sat on the sofa, and Lambert brought two cans of beer from the side.

Lambert: "Have you not decided who will take over?"

Hughes nodded: "That guy has his hands and feet tied up now, he cares too much about that consultant."

Lambert: "Any alternatives?"

Hughes: "There are still alternatives, but...you also know that it is Manhattan. In addition to business ability, the more important thing is to coordinate relationships. Compared with Peter, other people's personalities and relationships are still somewhat different. And Even in terms of performance, with Neil's assistance, Peter and his team's case detection rate has reached over 80%, and the others have been left far behind."

Lambert: "Get it settled early, and then Jimmy's business is someone else's concern."

Hughes shook his head: "Jimmy's matter has nothing to do with other people. If I retire now, others will not be able to suppress him."

Lambert: "Why?"

Hughes: "Jimmy has worked with all these people, and the relationship is very good, and several people have even been rescued by him...including the people in the field office..."

Lambert took a sip of beer and exhaled, "It's really difficult, a clear double-faced person."

Hughes: "Do you believe him?"

Lambert: "At least I have nothing to refute. I have too little contact with him to judge. How about you?"

Hughes shook his head: "For more than two years, except for what happened recently, I have never doubted that he is a good boy."

Lambert: "I think we are thinking too much. He said it will be done. Give him some time."

Hughes: "It's not that we don't know what the CIA group is doing. It may not be so easy for him to leave there. And there is one more thing that worries me. This time he was attacked, it is likely to be done by insiders Yes, that is, he is a bomb, and he does not know when it will be detonated."

Lambert: "Have you found out?"

Hughes: "No, but DHS intervened. The clues they provided were questionable, that is, the attack on Jimmy, their people, or pressure from other departments. This is not necessarily related to DHS, but The level of the person in charge of this matter will definitely not be low.

I don't know what a young man like Jimmy deserves to go to such lengths. Jimmy may be involved in something else, or someone else. "

Lambert: "Then find out. If it really doesn't work, you can only give up. I think this kid is really good. If we can be sure that he will not be involved in other things, it will be better for us to keep it.

Although it is not very good to say so, the people who can come out of the CIA agent training camp are definitely better than the people we recruited and sent to Quantico for training. Moreover, I now understand why his record is so good. It is impossible to compare with such an elite agent. "

Hughes nodded: "When he was a county policeman, he killed dozens of people. If it wasn't for the support of someone behind him, he should have been kicked out of the police force. I think the person behind him should be someone from the CIA. And it's high grade."

Lambert: "By the way, have you ever thought about talking to his former boss? The sheriff of the county police."

Hughes thought for a while, then nodded, "Let me think about it. This kid stays with you first? Or let him take a vacation for a while?"

Lambert: "Take a vacation? Is it necessary?"

Hughes: "I think his current state may not be suitable for continuing to investigate the case. He just killed dozens of people a few days ago, and we can't let others know, even psychological intervention."

Lambert: "Well, if it's someone else, maybe it's almost time for a mental breakdown at this time, maybe it will become a murderer."

Hughes nodded: "He is different. I have had several psychologists evaluate him before. He has a psychological quality far beyond his peers. Now it looks more like the training that made him a man of steel. Soldiers, such people generally do not have psychological problems, once they do, the ending may be a great tragedy."

Lambert: "And maybe a threat to us too."

Hughes: "And we can't just look at the threat. With him, our detection rate and other people's chances of being injured have dropped a lot, and we can save other people at critical moments. Sometimes watching him perform missions, I really feel that he One person can be the top of an SRT team."

Lambert: "I have thought about the advantages and disadvantages, and you can decide for yourself."

Hughes nodded: "That's it, I think it's better to let him take a long vacation first."

Lambert: "No problem."

-

Jimmy returned to the hotel, took a shower first, and then leaned on the bed to think about what happened today.

He hadn't planned to have a showdown so early. Before Lambert told him that Hughes had come to him, and it was Hughes who arranged for Lambert to let Jimmy come over. At that time, he knew that Hughes must have started to doubt and wanted to I left Manhattan temporarily so that he could investigate.

Now that Hughes has come to Dallas again, it is obvious that his investigation has yielded results. Although he does not know how much he has investigated, he must have determined his second identity, at least a scope has been defined.

Jimmy has reached an agreement with Caitlin to re-enter hibernation, but this still does not get rid of this identity.

Whether Caitlin can keep his promise is something Jimmy is not sure about now. He can only be sure that Caitlin was frightened by his fighting ability, including leaving New York without warning before and making a special trip to Houston to give him the investigation results. Prove it, because an average agent is not worth a supervisor.

Moreover, there was always a fire in his heart.Rick of the National Analysis Team in Washington DC was about to clear himself out of nowhere. Although he stopped his actions later, he arranged the previous two assassinations. If this person is not eliminated, it will always is a great evil.

But Rick is in Washington DC. Whether he is in Dallas or back to Manhattan, he is far away from Washington DC and beyond his reach.Moreover, about Rick, he only has a little information from Tom and Caitlin, and more investigations are needed, which will consume a lot of time.

Jimmy himself has not received CIA agent training, and his intelligence investigation capabilities are actually seriously insufficient, because he mainly relied on the FBI database and the support of "friends" before, and there are not many opportunities to investigate by himself.

Other than Tom, he has no other way to learn how to investigate someone like Rick, especially without using special channels to prevent detection.Rick is not an ordinary businessman or a gangster, he is a member of a federal agency. If Jimmy goes through the investigation of the FBI or other databases, it is easy to leave traces and be found and located, thus exposing himself.

Now Rick has given up the action, but if Jimmy is exposed because of the investigation of Rick, he will easily be suspected by him. According to the assessment of the armed forces sent to attack Jimmy before, the next time it may be at least doubled.

Jimmy still has a lot to do to be able to think clearly.

The next day, Jimmy returned to the FBI Dallas office, and Ray's investigation continued.

Jimmy: "Ray, did you find the thief?"

Lei: "No, I have sent screenshots of the video to the police station. I hope they can help investigate. If this person is really a local, the police station may gain something."

Jimmy nodded: "OK, let's continue the investigation."

Jimmy and Lei continued to sort out the various information reported. In addition, other cases in Lei's hands were also advancing at the same time.As I said before, the rate of solving bank robbery cases is only a little over half. Relatively speaking, if they really can't find them in a short period of time, they are acceptable.

Jimmy didn't get involved in Lei's other cases, he was only on secondment. There was no need to go through all the cases, just focus on what he had in hand and deal with it first, or wait for Lei to hand over the materials on his own initiative.

In the afternoon, a message came from the police station.

Ray: "Jimmy, we have a clue, let's go."

Jimmy picked up his suit and went downstairs with Lei. Lei said as he walked, "Someone knows a person who looks very similar to the video. We need to confirm it now."

Jimmy: "Who?"

Ray: "A street gangster with no official job."

Ray was driving in front, and Jimmy was driving in the back. The two drove straight to the northern suburbs of Dallas. Not all the suburbs are residential areas for middle-class people, but there are still quite a few poor people living outside the suburbs. This time they are looking for people That's the kind of person.

Lei drove to the police station, and a police officer got into Lei's car and took them to the scene.

When they arrived at the target location, all three of Ray and Jimmy got out of the car. The police pointed to a house on the opposite side that looked like it hadn't been repaired for a long time, "Your target lives here."

The three came to the door, and Jimmy had already seen two people inside. The police knocked on the door at the front, "Dallas police, Jeff, open the door."

"He's not at home." A female voice came from the house, and Jimmy saw two people inside were separating, one slowly walked towards the door, and the other ran to the bedroom and hid in the closet.
