North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 614 Christmas

Looking at the case materials displayed on the computer, Jimmy couldn't help but grinned a little. This kind of tragedy similar to the extermination of a family was a big deal. Fortunately, it was not in New York, otherwise it would definitely give a group of people a headache if it was reported.

It's just that the impact of exterminating the family is not that big. Looking at the photos in this case, the bodies were dismembered. Two of the people had their heads chopped off, and the other had his right arm chopped off. According to forensic identification, it should have been with an axe. The weapon was made, and the wound was not smooth. In theory, it was not a sharp blade. However, no murder weapon was found at the scene, and it is currently unclear what the murder weapon was.

Because the single-family villa was on the outskirts of the suburbs and was somewhat far away from the surrounding residents, the detectives visited the area and no one noticed any special sounds or whether any strangers came here.

Two of the five deceased lived on the first floor, two lived on the second floor, and one lived on the third floor. They had separate rooms for each other, but they were all in the living room on the first floor when they died.

Based on the positions of several corpses and the furnishings in the living room, the detectives reconstructed their locations. It seemed that they found something while chatting and watching TV in the living room. Two people left the sofa and were killed outside the sofa area. One One person was killed on the single couch and the other two were killed on the couch.

The two people who were dismembered were the two people far away from the sofa and the person on the single sofa. These corpses had cutting wounds, but there were no signs of struggle at the scene, which means that the five people probably did not do anything serious. The counterattack action is obviously different from the reaction of ordinary people.

After checking the floor and door, the forensic department found no abnormalities and no obvious footprints.Apart from the living room, there were no traces of blood or fighting anywhere else in the building. It was basically certain that everyone was killed in the living room.

This case is now in a semi-blocked state. If Jimmy hadn't checked the information, he wouldn't have seen it on the news at all. It can be seen that the field office and the police station must have issued a hush order.

There are too few clues to investigate. It is estimated that it will become an unsolved case in all likelihood, depending on how they deal with it.

Jimmy looked through the records currently registered in the system. He hasn't seen the case report yet. He can only see the information submitted to the system by the forensics department. So unless he contacts the investigators, he probably won't be able to get the details of the case for a while. of.

This is something to be thankful for. At least this big case did not appear in our own jurisdiction. Otherwise, not only would the FBI be in trouble, but the NYPD would also not have an easy time.

Father Rodney was still very capable. He contacted Jimmy after only one day and came to him with a gun on his day off.

At the weekend, Jimmy replaced an 686 with an M1875 and came to the church early in the morning. Father Rodney did not expect Jimmy to come so early, so he took Jimmy out of the church after worshiping. The two drove there Staten Island.

Staten Island is the most low-key area among the five boroughs of New York. It rarely appears in the news, so many people subconsciously ignore this area when they talk about New York.

But there are still some very old churches on this island, such as St. Andrew's Church, St. Paul's Church, St. Jacques Church, etc., but Jimmy only knows this basic information. He has never been to these churches at all. Father Rodney showed the way before arriving outside an old church.

Father Rodney asked Jimmy to park the car, and the two entered the church. An old priest was already waiting for them.

Father Rodney walked up to the old priest and bowed slightly, "Good day, Father White."

Father White smiled and said, "Rodney, is he Jimmy Young?"

Jimmy stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Father White, good day. I am Jimmy Young."

Father White nodded, and Father Rodney said, "Good day, and now take out your gun."

Jimmy reached out and pulled out the M686 from the holster under his arm. Because he came here just for this gun and might want to show it to others, he didn't load it in advance. After taking it out, he opened the magazine and checked it again before handing it to White. Fr.

Father White spread his hands, held the pistol in both hands, turned around and walked to the altar, put the pistol on the altar, made the sign of the cross with his right hand, then stretched out his hands, raised his head slightly, and said as if What are you talking about.

Although Jimmy was not far away from him, it was completely unclear what he was saying, but judging from his movements, it should be some prayers.

Soon, Father White made the sign of the cross to end his prayer, took back Jimmy's gun from the altar with both hands again, turned around and came to Rodney and Jimmy, "Okay, you can take it back."

Jimmy reached out to retrieve the gun in confusion, holding it in his hand and looking at Father White: "That's it?"

Father White nodded, "Yes, you can rest assured that this gun is not contaminated with anything unclean."

Jimmy bowed his thanks and put the revolver back in the holster under his arm.

Rodney: "Okay, Jimmy, go back to the car and wait for me."

Jimmy nodded, said goodbye to the two of them, turned and left the church.

Rodney watched Jimmy exit the door and turned to Father White, "Father White, did you find anything?"

White nodded and shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with him. If he is really possessed in this church, he will definitely react. I think his ability should be a gift from God."

Rodney finally had a smile on his face: "Well, I was a little suspicious before, and I wasn't sure. He could detect the ghosts in the apartment in the Bronx just by observing with his eyes. This ability is really amazing." Rare."

White: "You said he had an exorcism a few years ago?"

Rodney: "Yes, Father Horton from the Dallas church. I have checked with him on the phone. In fact, there is something even stranger. Father Horton told me that he was exorcising evil spirits in the river. , Jimmy used a gun to kill the evil spirit at the end, using a revolver. Judging from the time, it should be this one.

Father Horton was very sure that the exorcism he performed on Jimmy was successful. Since there was nothing wrong with him, his ability might really have been given by God. Unfortunately, we found out too late. He is already in his 30s. "

White: "That gun is not simple. There are residual traces of special power on it, but it is definitely not the power of the devil. If he really used this gun, it would have been possible to kill the evil spirit."

Rodney: "As long as he is not possessed, it will be troublesome if we cooperate with them and find that there is a problem on their side. In fact, if more and more supernatural incidents were not happening now, we wouldn't have We will face a shortage of manpower. Alas."

White: "Don't worry too much. We have started a new round of screening at seminaries in various places. We should welcome new companions in the near future."

Rodney nodded: "I hope it will be as soon as possible. In the past two years alone, we have lost several companions. Then I will go back first. Goodbye, Father White."

White nodded and said goodbye: "Goodbye, Rodney." Jimmy was standing next to the car smoking a cigarette. When he saw Rodney coming out, he walked to the side and put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can. "Father Rodney, are you done talking?"

Rodney: "Well, let's go back."

In silence all the way, Jimmy took Rodney back to the church and drove back to the apartment.

Father White's actions just now seemed like he was performing a prayer and an exorcism ritual on the gun. Since they all said it was okay, then this gun was Jimmy's gift to his future father-in-law. While there are still a few days left, Jimmy plans to make a frame with his own hands and put the gun in it, which will also be convenient for Kevin to collect.

It is not difficult to make a frame. It is a wooden frame with a wooden board on the back, a layer of glass on the front, and three small brackets to support the M686. Small holes for six Magnum bullets are cut out in the board under the frame to hold the bullets.

After the production was completed, Jimmy put the gun and bullets in, placed it on the desk, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.

He used the raw wood color for this frame directly and did not paint it. Because he didn't know Kevin's preference, it was better to leave it to him to paint it himself.

Christmas is finally coming. Jimmy and Nia changed their clothes and each came to Nia's house with a bag. Nia should have given her mother cosmetics, but Jimmy was not familiar with the brand.

In fact, Jimmy has no idea about cosmetics at all. Even the cosmetics used by Nia only know the brand but not the model series. His perfume is all chosen by Nia.

As soon as Nia entered the door, she happily shouted: "Mom, happy holidays." She hugged her mother happily, and then handed the gift up. Jimmy shrugged, walked directly to the sofa, and handed the gift to Kevin. "Kevin, happy holidays."

Kevin: "Thank you, what is this?" As he said this, he took the bag and reached out and took out the wooden frame.

Kevin raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Why would you give me a gun?"

Jimmy smiled and said: "This is my first revolver. I give it to you as a souvenir."

Kevin nodded: "The first gun is very memorable."

Jimmy: "Well, a few days ago, I asked Father White of St. Andrew's Church in Staten Island to perform a blessing ceremony for him."

Kevin reached out and turned on the switch on the back panel, took off the front cover and took the revolver in his hand to look at it. Nia came over and sat next to Jimmy, "Dad, do you like it? Jimmy said this was a killing gun. !”

Kevin glanced at Nia, then turned to look at Jimmy: "How many?"

Jimmy shrugged, "A few dozen, I haven't counted them. But don't worry, there will definitely be no problem."

Kevin opened the magazine and checked it, then closed the magazine and pointed the gun at the TV in front of him a few times. Then he put it away and put it back in the frame. "I like it very much, thank you, Jimmy."

Jimmy: "As long as you like it."

Jimmy will basically never use this gun again. If he wants to use it as a collectible, he still has to go through the procedures to transfer the gun to Kevin's name. These can be done later, so don't worry.

The four of them sat around the dining table. Because of Jimmy, Kevin and the others, they prayed before the meal for the first time. Nia looked at Jimmy holding back a smile, and Jimmy could only roll his eyes while Kevin and the others were not paying attention.

The dinner on Christmas Eve was sumptuous, even to the point of extravagance. The roast turkey looked good, but the taste was a bit hard to describe.Jimmy cut a piece and put it on the plate. Sure enough, the roasted turkey was still too big. The skin and the inside were quite tasty, but the middle was completely dry and tasted like wood-fired chicken. I don't know if it was a problem with the craftsmanship or if it was just the way this dish was. .

Jimmy just ate a piece of roasted turkey before giving up and focusing on another main course, roasted lamb chops.

After dinner, the family sat together and chatted, and Jimmy learned that Kevin had arranged an important private party tonight for this dinner.

For those in politics, festivals and the like are not that important. Instead, they are more inclined to hold various events and parties at such times, and put themselves more in the spotlight to increase their exposure.

After checking the time, Jimmy and Nia got up and left.After returning to the apartment, Nia went to the bedroom to pack her suitcases. The two of them were going to travel early tomorrow morning. They originally planned to go out as a family, but Kevin had other arrangements, so only the two of them could go out.

Now Jimmy is no longer alone. On Christmas and New Year's Day, the three of them can take turns on duty. They no longer need to work alone for several days as before, which was too tiring.

Taking advantage of this vacation, Jimmy and Nia got on the plane to Miami early in the morning. As soon as they got off the plane, they felt the warm and humid climate and vibrant atmosphere of Miami.The sea breeze brought the breath of the sea, and Jimmy felt that his whole body was much more transparent. He was used to the unpleasant smell in New York, but it was much better here.

Jimmy and Nia arrived at the reserved hotel. After checking in, Nia went directly to the hotel's swimming pool area to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and the coolness of the swimming pool. As for Jimmy, he forgot about it and still needed to go through the car rental procedures and so on.

At dusk, Jimmy and Nia left the hotel and walked along the beach, admiring the sea at dusk. New York is also on the seaside, but the gap between New York's beaches and Miami's is still very big.

Walking barefoot on the white beach, bathing in the waves and sea breeze, it was rare for the two of them to travel together, so they were naturally in a good mood. As they walked, they talked about bits and pieces of the past and future plans.

By bringing his fiancée to Miami, Jimmy naturally gave up a lot of fun and could only pretend he didn't see the sexy beauties around him.

The next day, Jimmy and Nia put on beach clothes and went to the beach to relax. The sun, sand and waves made people extremely comfortable. Jimmy took off his clothes and jumped directly into the sea, while Nia chose to rent a parasol on the beach to rest. .

Jimmy came out of the sea and came to Nia's side. The two of them applied sunscreen to each other and just stayed and watched the scenery leisurely.

After leaving the beach, the two of them wandered around downtown Miami and bought some souvenirs to take back. They also visited the Florida Museum of Art and the Coral Castle. However, neither of them were art lovers. In fact, the two of them were more interested in Let's have fun together without any goals.
