North American Gunslinger Detective

Father Rodney and the others are responsible for handling supernatural incidents, so Jimmy doesn't pay much attention to them. He already knew when chatting with Father White and Father Rodney that the area responsible for the Archdiocese of New York is still large, and the corresponding personnel needs are also large. Many, the selection of reserve personnel at the seminary has already begun, and it is estimated that they will be replenished soon.

Father Rodney also made it clear to Jimmy that if they didn't need their help to seal off the scene or assist in dealing with surrounding matters, they would generally not contact Jimmy or the local police. At least so far, these matters have not been resolved. when made public.

That's fine. Jimmy was a little numb after encountering such an invulnerable person twice in a row. When he arrived at the office, Jimmy opened the drawer and took out his spare bullets. There were 6 spare SP12 armor-piercing bullets, but these 6 rounds were of .357 caliber. , not a .44, and he wasn't holding his imitation Colt Python revolver right now.

Putting the bullets in his pocket, he planned to put the Python in the car as a pure backup gun when he returned. He just put the six rounds of armor-piercing bullets in to avoid further trouble.

But in this case, there would be no backup weapons at home. After thinking about it for a while, Jimmy decided to go back to the gun store to purchase two pistols to put at home. Just use Glock, and Nia could use it in case of emergency.

Jimmy took the ring out of his pocket. Jimmy still remembered Father Rodney's expression. Father Rodney's expression was not right when Father White gave him the ring. He waited until he explained the ring to himself in the car. It doesn't look normal at all, so is there anything wrong with this ring?

Father Rodney's expression could mean that this ring was very precious. He was surprised to give it to an outsider like himself, and felt it was a bit of a waste. It could also be thought that he knew there was something wrong with the ring, so he didn't know why Father White gave it to him. There is no way to tell what the specific situation is yet.

The ring is a very simple gold ring with a round ring. It looks a bit old. There is a cross mark on the outer ring of the ring, but there are no other marks. Jimmy has carefully observed it with a careful eye. This ring has no radiance at all, and it is not like other rings. The things are almost the same, and I can’t see any problems at all.

You definitely can't wear this ring now. It's best to ask someone to help you check it out.

After finding a small box from the drawer and putting the ring in it, Jimmy looked up at Mark and Julia who were busy in front of him, and still felt the need to ask about the progress of the investigation.

Jimmy came behind Julia. Mark and Julia had already watched the video again, and now it was time to analyze it in detail. "Julia, have you found any clues that can be investigated?"

Julia did not look back: "There are no clear clues yet. Several victims have extracted the images in the video and submitted them to the technical department. They can repair the images and perform facial recognition."

Jimmy: "See them all?"

Julia: "Yes, the photographer is obviously a veteran. He has organized the recording scene in detail. Everything has no labels or text. It is impossible to tell their location just by looking at these videos."

Jimmy: "Do you have a tattoo?"

Julia: "Nothing was found on the suspect. Two of the women have tattoos. I have extracted screenshots of the video. The suspect is white. Based on the gloss of his skin, it can be basically judged that he is not too old and has no other characteristics."

Jimmy: "Continue the investigation and see if there are any new clues. You and Mark will summarize your findings before leaving get off work every day."

Julia: "Got it."

Julia is still very careful in her work. Obviously she is planning to report to Jimmy after getting the facial recognition results. In other words, it is equivalent to doing a filtering on her side. This is a manifestation of autonomy. If it were replaced by another A person with little experience may have started reporting before getting the image and sending it to the technical department.

The results of the phased investigation are very important. If it is finally determined that facial recognition failed and other clues cannot clearly identify the identity or area of ​​the suspect and the deceased, then the case can be temporarily shelved.

The case was handed over to them, and Jimmy was completely taken advantage of. It was really comfortable to have the two of them around these past few months. Whether he was a policeman or an FBI agent now, he had not had this kind of leisurely time for a long time. Except for the few months when he went to the Public Affairs Office. Although he was free at that time, there was too much information to read, especially all kinds of official clichés. For him, it was better to go out to investigate the case.

I looked up at the news for a while. New York was a city that never lacked all kinds of crimes, but there weren't many that would allow them to intervene, even if it was the pursuit of a murder suspect that was broadcast live on the news.

The NYPD is very wealthy. If there is an important suspect that needs to be hunted down, the police helicopter will take off directly to monitor the suspect from the air to ensure that the suspect will not be lost to the police. This is just because there are many high-rise buildings in the New York City area and the ground traffic is relatively congested. Many times, NYPD people can only follow and run slowly, and it is difficult to arrest them directly.

It is basically impossible for the police to wantonly PIT the suspect's car in the movie. It has to do with police policy. PIT can easily cause death or injury to the suspect and implicate innocent citizens. In principle, the NYPD will not attack the suspect directly.

The chase is being broadcast live on the news right now. The sky TV helicopter and the police helicopter are determining the location of the suspect's vehicle. Several police cars are following with flashing lights and sirens. According to the news, the suspect seems to have fired a gun during the previous robbery. , so the police are now careful not to overtake his position.

This kind of case is boring. It has been made clear that the suspect only needs to be arrested. Even the NYPD detectives do not need to be dispatched. The patrol department can handle it.

After get off work in the evening, Jimmy went to his bar with Mark and Julia to have a drink to relieve the fatigue of the day.

Mark and Julia also worked hard, not physically, but purely mentally. It was a perverted case video. Jimmy only watched a little bit before giving up. Two people were already suffering from this kind of mental pollution. Let him forget it.

Jimmy and Woody chatted for a while and made sure that everything was normal in the bar before returning home. The two of them were single and they would continue drinking when Jimmy returned. Anyway, Woody had been told to arrange for someone to take them back later. , Jimmy is not worried either.

When he got home, Nia put the information on the dining table for the first time and was looking through it. Jimmy walked over and asked: "Why did you come back with the case? Did something big happen?"

Nia turned around and kissed Jimmy, "It's okay. I heard about the supernatural incidents you mentioned and just wanted to know more about them. These are all cases that have not been closed before."

Jimmy: "There's no need to look for it this way. There may not be one or two supernatural cases a year. They are very rare. And those supernatural cases are usually not reported to you. Most of them are handled by specialized agencies."

Nia smiled and shook her head: "I just looked through the records to see if there are any similar plots to those movies. You go and wash up first. I ordered takeout and will deliver it later." Jimmy: "Okay, I'll watch it with you later."

After washing up and returning, Jimmy picked up the case files on the table and looked at them. Nia brought back quite a few cases, more than a dozen of them. They were basically shootings and murders, but they were all independent murders and had no form. Serial murders or cases involving multiple deceased persons.

Jimmy put the files back on the table, "These are normal cases. Judging from the content of the cases, they have nothing to do with supernatural events."

Nia: "Then what kind of case is a supernatural case?"

Jimmy: "Okay, let's clean up. It's time for dinner. I'll tell you about a case that happened in New York later."

Jimmy and Nia are too lazy to cook now. They usually don't cook dinner at home unless they are on weekends or on weekends. They just order takeout or find a restaurant to have dinner outside. It just so happens that their get off work hours are not very stable. Cooking also presents the tragic situation of needing to reheat.

After eating and drinking, Jimmy hugged Nia on the sofa. The movie on the TV was no longer attractive. Nia was listening to a case of murdering a homeless man that Jimmy had handled. It was when Jimmy discovered that the suspect had shot multiple people. A homeless man who was later killed by a ghost in a detention center.

In fact, there was no final result in that case. According to Jimmy's judgment at the time, there should be a person or organization, because the resentful spirit seemed to flee to a specific location after leaving the human body, but he acted quickly at that time, in the alley. Killed the resentful spirit directly.

Jimmy's story-telling ability is pretty good. In addition, Nia is also a police detective and knows the topography and environment of New York very well, so some details of the case will be asked clearly. In short, under Nia's supplementary questioning, Jimmy actually I found that there were many errors in the details of the case in my memory.

However, the results were good. Jimmy also warned Nia that once she encounters an unusual case or scene situation, she must not force herself to follow and investigate alone. The world is not as safe as she imagined.

Regarding the two invulnerable cult members he encountered these two times, he thought about it and decided to only talk a little bit, without going into details about the situation inside.

When pistols are ineffective, the police also carry rifles and shotguns with them in the car. Jimmy had to use a pistol to verify the effect because the car was far away and he did not have a rifle in his private car. If he had a rifle, , perhaps sufficient muzzle kinetic energy should be able to penetrate their protection.

Speaking of which, Jimmy also discussed with Nia the plan to purchase defense weapons for the home. Nia also carries two guns with her, a Glock 19 as the main gun and a Glock 26 as a backup pistol. It is also strapped to the ankle, which is where most police officers keep their backup pistols.

Nia's pistol configuration pursues uniformity. The Glock 26 also uses 9mm Parabellum bullets, which is the same type as the 19, so she does not need to carry two types of bullets with her, and it is easy to adjust.

This is different from Jimmy. Jimmy has enough trust in his shooting skills. He rarely encounters situations where the bullets are completely used up. Two Glock magazines are enough.

As for the revolver, you don't have to worry about normal situations. If it's not for acting, let yourself act more ordinary. One bullet is enough for one person. The amount of ammunition on his body is enough for one person to raid a drug dealer's den.

After discussing for a long time, they finally chose the Remington M870 for the shotgun, which is durable, safe and reliable, and a Colt AR15 for the long gun. As for the pistol, they both have spare pistols, so there is no need to keep anything else at home for the time being. For pistols, just stock up on some bullets for easy use.

Of course, if you have these, you need a gun rack. This is relatively simple. Just build a steel frame and protective net, add a lock, and it doesn't take up much space in the study.

This apartment is still a bit small, and it is inconvenient to change the structure and position. Jimmy increasingly feels that he wants to build a single-family house, at least with multiple floors and basements. It will be more convenient to store some things. Now this apartment only has one bedroom and a study room. , there are too many residents around, which is somewhat inconvenient.

Early the next morning, Jimmy came to the office. Julia had already put several printed video screenshots on his desk. "Yang, the photos and tattoo photos have been image-restored. You can take a look first." , Sorry, no other available clues were found in the video."

Jimmy nodded: "Thank you, Julia, for your hard work. Mark, did you gain anything there?"

Mark: "What Julia gave you is what we discovered together."

Jimmy picked up the photos and looked through them, and suddenly found a familiar tattoo pattern in the last photo, which was an iris pattern. Jimmy had paid attention to a corpse case before, and some of the corpses had a pattern similar to this. And Jimmy also found a tattoo artist based on the relationship at Charon in the hotel.

Jimmy showed the tattoo pattern to Julia: "Who does this pattern belong to? Find her original video."

Julia took a look, nodded and searched for it on the computer, "I found it, but the woman's appearance in this video is covered. The technical department can't restore the appearance under this mosaic."

Jimmy watched the video on Julia's computer and said, "Give me a copy of this. I have an impression of this tattoo design. I have handled similar cases before. I will find someone to confirm it."

Julia nodded, took out a blank USB flash drive from the drawer, made a copy of the video and gave it to Jimmy.

Jimmy arranged his clothes, checked his gun and bullets, and said, "You continue the investigation, I'll go out for a while." After that, he left the office.

He called Charon first. He had taken Jimmy to the tattoo artist before. It would be too rude to come directly to the tattoo artist now. It was better to contact Charon to make an appointment.

Fortunately, Charon made a phone call, and the tattoo artist agreed that Jimmy would come to visit in the afternoon. She had work to do in the morning, and there were clients, so it was not convenient for the FBI to come. (End of chapter)
