North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 595
Jimmy got on the Saber class, adjusted the frequency of the car radio, notified the NYPD dispatch center, and then turned on the police lights and sirens and ran towards the place where the suspect vehicle last appeared.

Originally, this kind of investigation should first meet with the parents of the missing children to understand the possibility of potential suspects and the reasons for the kidnapping. However, because the car was discovered by the police before, although it is missing now, the approximate scope has been determined, and it must be It is more urgent to go to the scene to investigate.

However, this information also has photos, so if nothing else happens, the child can be identified.

Not long after he started driving, Jimmy's phone rang. He glanced at it and picked it up, "Kevin, what's wrong?"

Kevin: "There is an opportunity, see if you can participate. The son of the mayor's advisor Alex Green has been kidnapped. Please pay attention to it. If you have any clues, go and take it down."

Jimmy: "I've been assigned to follow up on this case."

Kevin paused: "What? Aren't you from the homicide team?"

Jimmy: "I'm also part of the support team. The supervisor personally arranged it. There's nothing we can do about it. I just came out of the station and am rushing to the place where the suspect car last appeared."

Kevin: "Do you have any clues? If you are not sure, come here first and I will take you to see Mr. Green."

Jimmy glanced at the car radio, but there was no news yet, "I understand, I'll pick you up at the police station now."

If the FBI can get the information, it must have been informed by relevant people. Otherwise, the investigation of this kind of case must be handled by the NYPD first. For the FBI to get involved, at least they have to wait until they have a preliminary conclusion.

It seems that Kevin got the news a little late. I don't know if there was a delay in some link, but he did notify Jimmy much later than Ruiz and the others.

But maybe Kevin didn't think about asking Jimmy to come over to help at first?

No matter what, since Kevin has spoken, let's go, anyway, this case must be solved no matter what.

Picking up Kevin at the police station, Jimmy drove to the Upper East Side and met Alex Green in a flat apartment. He was sitting on the sofa holding his crying wife.

Kevin and Green must have known each other. After the two shook hands and greeted each other, Green immediately asked Kevin about the current investigation status.

Kevin: "Don't worry, Alex. This is FBI senior agent Jimmy Young. I specifically asked him to come here to help with the investigation of clues. This is Mr. Alex Green, the mayor's advisor."

Jimmy: "Mr. Green, I don't want to say any polite words. Do you have any judgment on the kidnappers? Have you had any disputes with anyone, or have you received any extortion calls?"

Alex: "Not yet. I have no idea right now who would kidnap my son."

Jimmy: "Remember carefully, did you receive any special emails, text messages, phone calls, etc. at home or in the office?"

Alex shook his head: "No."

Jimmy: "Do you think you should communicate with others? Maybe there is something you have overlooked?"

Alex thought for a moment: "I'll make a few calls to the office, please wait a moment."

Alex walked to the next room. When Jimmy saw him taking out his mobile phone, flipping through it and dialing, he stopped looking at it.

After making a few calls, Alex left the room and shook his head as he walked over, "Neither the office nor the city government received any blackmail letters or phone calls."

Jimmy glanced at Kevin and said, "It's hard to judge then. I think we'd better investigate the suspect vehicle first."

Kevin nodded, "OK, go ahead. Someone has been arranged to check the surveillance video at the dispatch center. Police detectives will come here to investigate later."

Jimmy took out his business card and handed it to Alex: "Mr. Green, if you think of anyone or something that may be related, please notify me in time. Also, can you give me the latest photo of Elliott?"

Alex nodded, took a photo frame from the side, took out the photo inside and handed it to Jimmy, "This is a photo taken this summer, it should be the most recent."

Jimmy put away the photo: "Okay, bye, Mr. Green."

Jimmy got up and left the apartment, continuing to follow up on the clues about the car. Previously, the patrol had lost the track of the vehicle in Harlem. The current main area of ​​investigation is Harlem and parts of the Bronx near Manhattan.

In fact, the main force in pursuing clues is the NYPD. Cases involving high-level government officials are naturally their highest priority. Many patrol officers have been arranged to investigate nearby. As for the kidnapping scene near the school, it is also handled by the NYPD. Detectives led the inspection.

Jimmy turned off the lights and sirens and slowly walked around Harlem twice. In addition to observing the cars on the road normally, he also carefully observed the buildings next to him to ensure that he would not miss it.

After traveling around Harlem, he went directly to the Bronx, which was where they focused their control, but no clues were found yet.

A notification from the dispatch center came over the radio. Someone called the police that a car was burning in a residential area. According to the description of the caller, the model matched their suspect car, but there was no license plate.

When Jimmy turned the car around and rushed over, the nearby fire truck was already in place and put out the flames, which were now steaming.

There was no way to investigate this. After the car was burned, all fingerprints and other traces on it would be burned. Let the police on scene arrange to investigate the surrounding surveillance and personnel interviews. Jimmy began to scan the surrounding houses.

Things were a bit troublesome. The worst-case scenario was that this car was the one used by the suspects when they escaped. They abandoned the car and then poured gasoline on it and burned it. The method of handling the car was a bit too professional. They directly cleaned up the traces and followed up. It will be difficult to trace.

There are two possibilities now. One is that they are hiding nearby, abandoning the car as a clear signal to attract the target of police investigation, and using the dark inertia under the light to hide. As long as the police leave here, they will be safe.

The second is that they prepare a backup vehicle here. After destroying the vehicle, they immediately get in and leave. Then there is no way to continue tracking. They can only try to obtain possible eyewitness information from the people around them, and then try to continue the investigation. Go down.

In fact, Jimmy's judgment may be true. Alex quickly received a call. The police had monitored his home phone and mobile phone. The kidnappers simply said that Elliot was in their possession. , and asked Elliot to say something to express that he was still safe, and then hung up the phone.

The call was very short. The call ended before the results of the police surveillance and reverse investigation were obtained. The key is that the kidnapper also used a special tool to change his voice, making it difficult for Alex to judge whether the kidnapper was the kidnapper through his voice. People you know.

Kevin had already left Alex's home. He notified Jimmy of the current situation by phone, and Jimmy could only wait for the result.

Soon, the kidnapper contacted him for the second time. He changed his mobile phone and informed Alex to prepare 200 million in cash and asked for old 20 and 50 bills. He would contact him again at the transaction location six hours later.

It was still a short contact. The phone location function of the police was slightly inferior, incomparable with agencies such as the NSA and CIA. This time, the location was still not successful.

Alex Green belongs to an old wealthy family, and their preparation of ransom has nothing to do with Jimmy, so he can only hang out outside during this period.

"Squeak!" Jimmy stepped on the brakes urgently. He was also startled. A man suddenly appeared in front of his car just now. He was about to hit it. He stepped on the brakes urgently and rushed forward. , was held by the seat belt to prevent himself from hitting the steering wheel.

When he looked at the road ahead again, he found that there was nothing in front of the car. Instead, the cars behind him also braked suddenly.

Fortunately, the traffic is not particularly busy now, the speed of the vehicles is not very fast, and the sudden braking did not cause a rear-end collision with the car behind.Jimmy parked the car on the side of the road, turned on the hidden police lights without turning on the siren, and directed the cars behind him to move forward. When the cars following him saw the police lights flashing, Jimmy, wearing a suit and sunglasses, directed the traffic and stopped cursing and pressing the button. Horns were honked, cars moved forward one after another, and traffic resumed.

He was very sure that someone appeared in front of his car just now. He disappeared in just a moment of sudden braking. No one or anything was scattered on the road, and the people around him showed no tendency to watch. , obviously something was wrong with what just appeared.

While directing traffic, Jimmy opened his eyes to observe, including the road and nearby buildings. However, he did not find anything particularly abnormal. Could it be that he was dazzled?
Jimmy thought for a while and called Nia directly, "Nia, help me find someone to investigate whether there have been any vicious cases on Wharton Street before, such as murders."

Nia: "What's wrong? What are you investigating?"

Jimmy: "Just checking in. Wharton Street, the Bronx."

Nia: "Okay, I'll call and ask."

Nia didn't ask for the reason. She also knew that Jimmy couldn't check this kind of information for no reason. There must be something wrong.As for why Jimmy didn't investigate on his own, he probably wasn't in the office.

Jimmy just stood on the side of the road, smoking and waiting. He turned off the hidden police lights of the car so that he could not use them for the time being.

Nia's call came ten minutes later, and Jimmy picked it up immediately, "Is there any result?"

Nia: "Well, there were several shootings on Wharton Street, and there were also some home invasions and murders. There were a lot of them. Do you want to go to the police station first and take a look?"

Jimmy: "No, not so much, just tell me about the case in building No. 76."

Nia: "Wait a minute, I'll let them take a look."

Jimmy looked up at the apartment building in front of him. He could tell that it was quite old. From the fire escape outside the window, it could be seen that this building was at least several decades old.

When Jimmy observed with his inner eye before, the color of this building was similar to the surroundings, but the color in some places was darker. This was also the biggest suspicion in the neighborhood.

Nia: "I checked. There have been no murders in this building in recent years. The most recent murder was in the 80s. The most serious case was a family murder in the 70s. A family of seven were murdered in three apartments. Murder was committed, on the same night, and the murderer was never caught.”

Jimmy: "Give me the room number of the apartment where the murder occurred."

Nia: "304, 306, 307 are two adjacent apartments and an apartment opposite. They are a family. After their two children got married, they bought the adjacent apartment room."

Jimmy: "Okay, I understand, you have a good rest."

Nia: "Be careful."

Jimmy: "Don't worry, it's fine."

Jimmy hung up the phone and looked at the building. He couldn't see the house number from the outside, but the place with a different color was indeed on the third floor.Jimmy checked his gun and walked into the apartment building.

There is no news about the kidnapping case yet, so it would be a good idea to take advantage of this period to check out the strange situation that almost caused him to get into a car accident just now.

When he arrived on the third floor, Jimmy discovered something he had not seen outside before. There were some very thin shadow lines connecting several rooms, just like a three-dimensional spider web, but the lines were very thin. And there doesn't seem to be anything unusual.

Someone just happened to come out of the house next door and walked across these lines without incident while walking in the corridor, as if they didn't exist at all.

Jimmy stretched out his hand and showed his ID: "Hey, buddy, excuse me, FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young has a few questions."

The man carrying the garbage bag out was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he dropped the garbage bag to the ground.

Seeing that his reaction was not right, Jimmy put his right hand on the holster of his belt, "Relax, don't be nervous, I just want to ask a few questions."

The man said slowly: "What?"

Jimmy: "What's your name?"

Man: "David Hart."

Jimmy: "How long have you lived here? Do you know about a murder that happened in this building before?"

David: "A few months, sorry, I just rented here and don't know anything."

Jimmy nodded: "Thank you for bothering you."

David picked up the garbage bag and walked towards the stairs. After descending a few stairs, he quickly ran down. Jimmy observed his actions in his mind and could tell that something must be wrong with him. He just didn't know what it was, but it didn't matter. Yes, I didn’t come here for him.

After observing several rooms connected by shadows, switching between the mental eye and the normal perspective, Jimmy did not find anything unexpected inside, such as ghosts wandering around inside. There was no one in the room. Looking at the furniture inside, it should be Inhabited.

Jimmy thought for a while and decided to submit this as his first cooperation case with the church. As for the things agreed between Bishop Anderson and Dave, he couldn't do nothing or submit nothing. That would be too unfair. Give them face.

After going downstairs and returning to the car, Jimmy drove directly back to Manhattan. In the car, he called Father Rodney to meet him. When Jimmy arrived at the church, Father Rodney was already waiting for Jimmy at the door.

Father Rodney: "Agent Young, what did you find?"

Jimmy: "Father, something special happened to me just now, something very special."

Father Rodney reached out to stop Jimmy, took him into the church to the altar in front, prayed in front of the holy water basin, then filled a small cup of water with the cup next to him, dipped his hand in it and sprinkled it on Jimmy. After putting the cup back on the altar, he took Jimmy to the side and sat down.

Father Rodney: "Okay, you just had a little bit of something not very clean on your body."

Jimmy looked at the priest in surprise: "I didn't feel anything. What is it?"

Father Rodney: "I'm not sure, it's just a little uncomfortable, not serious. Tell me, what did you encounter before?"

Jimmy: "OK, I was investigating a kidnapping case today. In the Bronx, while looking for clues on the road, a man suddenly appeared in front of my car. After I braked hard, I found that there was nothing in front of the car.

I felt something was wrong about this matter, so I asked someone to investigate. There was a murder case in a building next to the incident. I entered the building and found something was wrong there, so I quit and contacted you. "
