North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 588 Abnormal Event Explosion?
Ruiz didn't greet Jimmy and the others directly, but walked into the small room inside with Seventeen, threw Seventeen into it, and then came to Jimmy.

Jimmy poured him a glass of water and asked in a low voice, "How did you bring him here?"

Ruiz also said in a low voice: "You have to put enough pressure on Louis, don't worry, I have a lot of experience in this kind of thing, let's start."

Jimmy nodded, came out of the bar with a glass of water, went to sit in front of Luiz, and Ruiz sat next to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Louis, do you know him?"

Luis: "Agent Ruiz."

Jimmy: "Now that everyone is here, you can tell your deal."

Luis knew he was in trouble when he saw Ruiz bringing Seventeen over just now. They were both present at the scene, and now they have been arrested. And looking at the current situation, Seventeen's side was arrested earlier than him.

I don't know what Seventeen can recruit, or did he say nothing?When the prisoner's dilemma really appeared in front of him, he was really anxious, and now he had to think about his own words.

Luiz was in a daze, and Jimmy and Ruiz were not in a hurry. They drank water slowly with their water glasses, waiting for Luiz's decision.

Luiz finally came to his senses, he looked at Ruiz: "I can't go to jail."

Ruiz raised his eyebrows. His request was a bit more than Ruiz had previously considered. He thought Luis wanted the witness protection plan, "Reason?"

Louis: "What you want to investigate is a shooting case, so I can give you the suspect, with witnesses and evidence."

Luis no longer looked at Jimmy, but at Ruiz. He knew who had the final say. For a gang member like him, Ruiz's position determined that he was more qualified to handle Luis' case than others. .

Ruiz: "I need evidence against Fat John."

Louis took a deep breath, "No, that would kill people."

Ruiz: "I can give you and your family an option, the option to stay away from New York."

Louis stopped talking, his cheeks trembling a little.

Ruiz looked at Jimmy: "Jimmy, you avoid it first."

Jimmy nodded, got up and left the table, and walked to the manager's office inside. Isaac was not there either, and the office was empty.

Jimmy didn't know who Ruiz was referring to as Fat John, but judging by Louis' shock, he was definitely a big fish.

It seems that this opportunity is good. Luis should be a key person, allowing Ruiz to achieve another major achievement before being promoted to supervisor. In other words, David is lucky. Generally, major cases involving gangster families are not short-lived. Time can solve it. He was able to handle a big case when he first took over the anti-mafia team. It is very likely that he will directly wipe out a mafia family. This kind of luck is really against the sky.

But I am very unhappy. I have been following the case for several days and suddenly lost it?
After a while, Jimmy's cell phone rang, and Ruiz told him to go out and sit down at their table, and Luis looked at Jimmy: "Marco is dead, he killed his family. "

Jimmy: "Tell me in detail."

Louis: "Marco cooperated with others in smuggling in private, but they didn't inform us. They had a dispute with another group of people. Someone found Marco's house and went to his house to kidnap him, but he had friends at that time, so he went to All the arresters were killed, because there was no way to transfer the bodies of the three people, they had to set fire to them and burn them directly."

Jimmy: "Smuggle what?"

Louis: "Luxury bags and perfumes that don't take up space are all fakes from Asia."

Jimmy: "Some fake bags and perfumes are definitely not worth their killing, you lied."

Luis: "That's all we know so far. I don't even know that Marco is not dead. I asked someone to search all the places where he might exist until someone told me that Marco had been with the Black Diamond Gang some time ago. They were very close, so I contacted Charles Brooks, the 'wall' of the Black Diamond Gang, for help. He owed me a favor, so he helped me find the residence of Thomas, who was in contact with Marco."

Jimmy: "Is that the warehouse?"

Louis: "Yes, we found Marco and Thomas after we went in, and they admitted to the smuggling."

Jimmy: "Why did you shoot him?"

Louis: "No, it's just that the pistol went off. It was a complete accident that the gun was pointed at them before."

Jimmy: "You fired more than a dozen shots, how dare you call it a misfire?"

Jimmy heard it outside. Although the sound was a little muffled, his hearing was also a little enhanced, and he still heard the gunshot.

Louis was silent for a while: "He is a traitor."

Fxxk!Glory murder, these gangsters have lost their minds.

Ruiz was watching Jimmy and Luis communicating about these things, and suddenly interjected, "Is that Thomas a member of the Black Diamond Gang?"

Lewis: "Brooks said he was a peripheral member and they didn't know much about it."

Jimmy patted the table: "Bullshit! How can a person who can participate in smuggling be just a peripheral gangster? It seems that you are very dissatisfied with the conditions we gave you, so you have to lie about it."

Louis shook his head, "I'm not lying, all I know is this. Brooks was at the scene at the time, and a lot of things went wrong before they were clearly asked."

Jimmy: "You said you didn't lie. When you went to the warehouse, there were two cars and four people, but when you escaped, seven people came out of the warehouse, and there were two dead people in the warehouse. Who are those people? Follow you Who ran away together?"

Jimmy's question was too clear, and the scene was too detailed. After a moment of silence, Louis said: "William Moore, a black market dealer, a middleman."

Jimmy: "Give me his information and address."

Louis: "I don't know. He brought two men who were already in the warehouse before we arrived. It should be Marco and the others who contacted them. They probably want to sell some goods."

Jimmy: "How to find him?"

Louis: "I just know him and have never worked with him, but I have his mobile phone number, you can find it in my mobile phone."

Jimmy looked at Ruiz and tilted his head to the side, "Ruiz."

Ruiz and Jimmy got up and walked away from the table, and Jimmy asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do with him?"

Ruiz: "He will serve as a tainted witness, and we will apply for witness protection for him after we launch the operation."

Jimmy: "If I arrest him for murder, he will definitely go to jail. Will it affect your plan?"

Ruiz: "He's going to figure it out."

Jimmy: "What about Seventeen?"

Ruiz: "Let's talk about it later, it's not convenient here."

Jimmy nodded, "Alright, if you have no special arrangements for Louis, I'll talk to him."

Ruiz: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

Ruiz went to the small room, took Seventeen out and left the bar. Jimmy saw them go outside and close the door and then uncuffed them. It seemed that Seventeen was indeed his own.

Jimmy came to Lewis: "Are you clear about the terms you negotiated?"

Louis nodded dejectedly, he has no way out now.

Jimmy has the evidence that he shot and killed Marco in the warehouse, and there are several witnesses. If he insists on arresting him, the only thing he lacks is the pistol that he has thrown away. Adding his identity as a gang member is enough for the jury to decide.

The only way to avoid going to jail is to make a deal. Now that the decision has been made, there is no other way.

Jimmy: "Now, I guess you have a way to get me the evidence to close the warehouse murder case?"

Louis nodded again, and Jimmy raised his voice: "Say it out loud."

Louis looked up at Jimmy and said loudly, "Yes, I will make people confess."

Jimmy: "Very good, stand up and turn around."

Jimmy uncuffed Louis, took Louis' phone out of his pocket and returned it to him, "You can go back by yourself, right?"

Louis walked to the door without saying a word, opened it and walked out.

Jimmy shook his head. In fact, he didn't have that complete evidence. In fact, when they escaped, because Jimmy had to take care of four wounded people, they didn't catch up at all. If Louis really wanted to carry on, he would probably be arrested for lack of evidence. Charges dropped.

Fortunately, Jimmy cheated on Luiz, and then got the well-known detective Ruiz, and finally got Luiz out of the way without any accidents.

For Jimmy, his arson murder case has now been determined to be the one killed by Marco. Now that the murderer is dead, it is easy to solve the case.

Jimmy took all the used cups to the bar, then closed the door and left. Woody and the others will deal with it later.

Back in the office, Jimmy called the detectives at the hospital. The three patients with gunshot wounds had completed their operations and were recuperating in the hospital. In order to give Louis some time, Jimmy decided to wait until he took notes for them.

Taking advantage of the time now, Jimmy began to write his own report, mainly to clarify the first part of the identification of the deceased and the accidental discovery that Marco was not among the three deceased. Here is the report of the forensic office. The method is fake.

The information of Marco's aunt, Mrs. Melissa, had already been checked during the DNA test. Jimmy just took it and put it in the report. The only thing that needed to be polished was how to find her.

After discovering that Marco is still alive, the subsequent report needs to wait for the results of Luiz's handling. If there is an accident, he can only be sorry for Ruiz. In order to close the case, Jimmy does not rule out using some special methods to make Luis plead guilty.

When he was about to get home in the evening, Jimmy received a call from Dave to accompany him to church the next morning.

Jimmy was still a little surprised. He parked the car on the side of the road and thought about it. Maybe what he said when he had lunch with Hughes and Dave a few days ago had an effect. Some things that are inconvenient to disclose must be involved.

Looking at the time, Jimmy took a detour to buy two steaks and some vegetables to take home for dinner, but he was destined to die tonight.

The forensics department called urgently. They took some evidence from the warehouse and tested it, only to find a big problem.Drug residues were detected on a brand new sofa. After inspection, it was found that part of the wooden frame of the sofa was hollow. There is currently nothing inside, but the drug residues indicate that drugs should have been stored here.

Now there was trouble. Jimmy heard Luis say that Marco and the others were smuggling only small items such as luxury bags and perfume, and furniture should not be smuggled by them.

If it wasn't for them, then the home improvement company would be a big suspect. There are a lot of people in this company. If you want to investigate thoroughly, you can't handle it by yourself.

Looking at the time, Jimmy called Peter directly. Although he was an agent, he had authority. This time he had to come forward to mobilize people. These people may have to deal with this drug smuggling case for quite a while.

After receiving Jimmy's call, Peter looked at Elizabeth with a helpless expression. He was about to be transferred to Washington DC in less than two weeks, and he was planning his life with Elizabeth at home after going to Washington DC. It's a big case, the key is that this case can't be solved in a short time just by looking at the content of the current investigation.

After thinking for a while, Peter called John Thompson, the Special Agent in Charge (SAC), to confirm that he was at home. He immediately changed his clothes and went out, leaving Elizabeth to continue planning for the future.

Because Peter's time in the Manhattan office is limited, it is better to arrange someone from above to handle this kind of possible long-term case, or directly let the successor to intervene in advance.

Peter knew that Ruiz would take over the position of supervisor, but after all, it has not been announced yet, and it is not appropriate for him to go directly to Ruiz, so it is most appropriate to find his immediate boss John Thompson first.

Thompson agreed with Peter's opinion after listening to Peter's report, let Ruiz come over and intervene in advance after work.

This case is a bit troublesome. If it is just a drug case, many FBI drug-related teams can handle it, but this time it involves imported furniture hiding drugs. If necessary, you need to contact the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP, 2003 Affiliated to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security DPS) to assist in processing.

It involves multi-departmental collaboration, it is best to stabilize personnel, otherwise there will be problems communicating with each other.

After Jimmy threw out his troubles, he had a good night's sleep, but it's a pity that others didn't sleep well.

A new way of transporting drugs has emerged. For drug lords, it is a route to pick up money. Before being discovered by the FBI, it is not known how long they have been carrying out this kind of transport. Now they have to catch another one based on the import and export information. For all drug dealers online, the workload will be so heavy that people doubt their lives.
-
In the morning, Jimmy opened the safe and took out a second 1875 to replace his own Colt Python. Throw the .44 Magnum in your pocket.Jimmy thought about it, put on the cross necklace that had been stored in the safe for a while, and then went out to drive to meet Dave.

This cross was given by Father Horton in Dallas. Jimmy had been wearing it for a while, but he still felt uncomfortable after a long time, so he kept it in a safe.

At the entrance of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Jimmy stood at the door ahead of time and waited for Dave. There were still many tourists, and Jimmy was completely inconspicuous standing nearby.

Dave also came to the door on time, beckoned to Jimmy and led him into the cathedral, but instead of taking the same route as the tourists, he bypassed them and walked to the back area, which was not open to the public.

Dave greeted a man in a black bishop's attire and a cross necklace: "Bishop Anderson."

Bishop Anderson greeted Dave and Jimmy with a smile, and then led them to a lounge.

After taking his seat, Bishop Anderson said, "Thank you, please, Dave."

Dave: "You're welcome, Bishop Anderson, why are you bringing us here this time?"

Bishop Anderson: "Since entering the 21st century, the number of abnormal events that have occurred in our diocese every year has been increasing, and in the past few years, we have lost several priests in the exorcism battle, especially in the recent period, New York State Several evil spirit incidents occurred one after another, and one of our priests was also called by the Lord to return to heaven safely."

Dave asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"

Bishop Anderson: "A week ago, near Rochester."

Dave: "Can I ask why?"

Bishop Anderson: "We have received news that several abnormal incidents occurred in a row near Rochester. Some congregants reported that there was a demon that swallowed souls there. Father Rossi rushed to investigate, but after he arrived, he only met with We lost track after making contact twice, and his body was found three days ago.

We have arranged for two other priests to investigate this matter, but there is no result yet.

In fact, not only our diocese, but also other dioceses have reported that the activities of evil spirits have become more and more frequent in recent years, and the pressure in various places is also increasing. If the situation continues to worsen, it is very likely that we will not be able to expel these evil spirits in time , Let them appear in the public eye, that is a catastrophe. "

Dave: "OK, so what can I do for the bishop?"

Bishop Anderson: "You know, although we have a large number of congregants, we can't get information in time, so I hope you can help pay attention to abnormal situations, especially those special alarm messages. The activities of evil spirits are very real for ordinary people. It's too dangerous, and many people may have various accidents without any resistance at all."

Dave glanced at Jimmy, then turned to look at Bishop Anderson: "Bishop Anderson, do you have any statistics for last year and this year?"

Bishop Anderson: "I understand what you mean. In fact, the number of evil spirit incidents this year is almost double that of last year, but I can't tell you the exact number."

The church will not notify the FBI when dealing with these incidents, so as an ordinary person, it is actually difficult for Dave to know the specific data.

Dave: "I understand. What do you mean is that if we find an abnormal event that is difficult to explain, we will contact you to deal with it?"

Bishop Anderson: "Yes, I know that your agents are very brave, but in some cases, they are completely helpless in the face of demons. In this case, you can't solve the problem."

Dave nodded: "Detective Jimmy Yang is the head of our homicide team. If there are any unusual homicides, he will contact you."

Bishop Anderson: "Nice to meet you, Agent Yang."

Jimmy leaned forward slightly: "It's an honor to meet you, His Excellency Bishop Anderson. Who should I contact later?"

Bishop Anderson: "Father Rodney will contact you later."

Jimmy: "Okay, it would be an honor to serve the church."

Bishop Anderson: "Dave, if possible, I would like you to contact your headquarters to investigate the abnormal situation in other areas."

Dave: "I will, if there is no problem, we will go back first."

Dave and Jimmy got up and said goodbye to Bishop Anderson. Jimmy took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Bishop Anderson, and then they left the church.

They came to the parking lot without saying a word, stood next to Dave's car, Dave looked at Jimmy: "About this matter, you are in charge of contacting the parish. You said that you can see some abnormalities, so it's okay Time to look around."

Jimmy: "Dave, I don't get it, why are we taking on this hassle?"

Dave sighed, "As Bishop Anderson said just now, these abnormal cases have been increasing in recent years. The headquarters also has statistics, and Hughes should have told you before that we have a special task force at the headquarters. , is specifically responsible for handling such abnormal cases, right?"

Jimmy nodded: "I heard from him that there was a supernatural incident that was passed on to us before."

Dave: "That team recently changed, and we lost two special agents."

Jimmy: "How could this be? I haven't heard anything about it."

Dave: "Two people died when they were dealing with an incident in Georgia, and the team was only six people."

Jimmy: "What case?"

Dave: "Evil spirits can form illusions and affect people around them. Before our people passed by, a local town policeman and four residents had hallucinations under its influence and killed each other. If it wasn't for the local The priest of the church reported the anomaly, and it is not known how many people will be affected."

Jimmy: "Did the two who died attack each other?"

Dave: "Well, at least that's what the report said, they suddenly attacked each other after entering an abandoned house, if the others weren't a step behind, our losses would have been very serious that time.

It is said that the headquarters has not encountered cases like this a few times, and there have been a lot of abnormal incidents recently. Unfortunately, you can only find them and not eliminate these evil spirits like other people. Otherwise, you can consider joining the headquarters Special task force. "

Jimmy was a little speechless. Dave and Hughes obviously had different styles. Hughes had made it clear to Jimmy before, don't inquire about these people, and don't even think about joining them. When it comes to Dave, he regrets that Jimmy can't join in.

Jimmy: "Okay, but this kind of thing is hard to find. I usually have to deal with cases, so I can't go around and find this abnormal situation."

Dave: "It's okay, just pay more attention to the abnormal cases on the NYPD side, and I will also communicate with them. If they can't handle the cases, they will be transferred."

Dave took out the car keys from his pocket, "Okay, let's go back."

Jimmy nodded and walked to his car.On the way back to the office, Jimmy thought about this matter. In fact, according to what Roland said before, the supernatural events that they usually need to deal with are very few, and what Bishop Anderson said has only started to occur frequently in recent years.

Anderson's words made Jimmy very concerned. He was talking about entering the 21st century, and Jimmy came to this world in 1999, which happened to be in sync with the growth of their so-called abnormal events.

Could it be because of my own arrival that caused the problems here?
When Jimmy returned to the office, he was not in the mood to write a report, so he just sat on the sofa and made tea while thinking.

Jimmy comprehensively reviewed the things he has encountered in these years. There are not many supernatural events, about four or five times. It seems that there are not many, but he does not go to many places, mainly in some big cities and suburbs. The cases handled were only one case in Dallas, and a phalanx was wiped out by Kevin's friend.

These are difficult to define as whether the number of supernatural cases has increased significantly, but it does make Jimmy think about it. Roland returned to the Dark Tower world two or three years ago. Could it be related to Roland?

Roland has always been actively looking for these abnormal things to deal with before. Could it be that because of Roland's departure, the cases he handled were not dealt with, so other people felt that there were more and more supernatural events?
Thinking about it, it seems possible.

This is just a possibility. If we can get the data of abnormal cases across the country, we may be able to analyze whether it has anything to do with Roland's departure.

Another point is that you can analyze whether it is related to your arrival in this world.

Jimmy came to this world in September 99. If it really has something to do with Jimmy, it may be because there is a problem somewhere in this world. Jimmy's soul is transmitted to this world, and then the problematic place gradually loses control, leading to all kinds of problems. There are more and more supernatural events.

It's like a circle of protective clothing around the earth, with a small hole on it. When Jimmy passed it, the small hole expanded, and the back gradually became a big hole out of control, and cracks appeared in other places due to other unknown reasons.

Jimmy's brain hole is getting bigger and bigger. This kind of personal analysis has no boundaries at all. Considering all aspects of the people Jimmy knows, he always feels that the two possibilities he thought before are relatively large.

Jimmy thought of the man, Jack Chambers. The last time he saw Roland, he was the one who informed him that Roland had chosen to return to his hometown to retire and would not return to the earth. If he could go and confirm with Roland, he might be able to confirm these supernatural phenomena. Is the incident related to me?
