North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 693 Closing
  After the lake surface was purified, Jimmy waved to Nia and the others. When he saw them approaching, he began to look for bullet casings on the ground. He used a lot of bullets this time, and the empty bullet casings were poured directly from the magazine and fell on the ground. If there are so many bullet casings on the ground, if you don't pick them up, the people behind you will call the police when they come here. There are dozens of bullet casings in some damn place. Something serious must have happened here.

  The priests also began to pack up their belongings, including recycling or destroying traces from makeshift altars. Supernatural events and church exorcisms are not things that can be made public on a large scale, and today's society will not accept this situation, because it will Shaken to some foundations.

  Nia and the others came over, and Jimmy couldn't help laughing when he saw the binoculars in the hands of Nia and Superintendent Porter. Because it was night, and they didn't know that they would stay behind the whole time, they were not prepared. , this time Superintendent Porter must have thought ahead and brought two binoculars, because Jimmy was very sure that Nia did not bring binoculars when she went out in the morning.

  "How did you do it? Agent Yang!" Superintendent Porter was the first to speak. Although he only saw part of it through the telescope, he was still surprised by Jimmy's rapid shooting and reloading, because he was the only one shooting at the scene. , and the gunshots continued continuously, which was even more extreme than last night.

  Jimmy shrugged: "Just load and shoot. It's not difficult. You just need to practice more."

  Superintendent Porter was speechless. Can a human be trained to do this?
  He really regretted that he would have brought a camera here if he had known about it, because the priest had told him in advance that supernatural events could not be made public, and he also needed to keep it secret, so he never thought about recording it with a camera. He just wanted to As a witness, it will be a good talking point in the future, but now Jimmy's performance makes him feel that even if he is warned or even punished by the leader, he should be photographed. This kind of shooting is far beyond his imagination.

  Nia knew that Jimmy didn't like to be in the limelight, so she interrupted their conversation by speaking quickly: "Has it been dealt with? Is there still any danger?"

  Jimmy: "Don't worry, it has been purified and it is safe here. Just look for an opportunity to clean up the bottom of the lake. The priests will arrange it."

  Nia did not ask any more questions, but stood aside and watched the priests pack up their things. In addition, she looked at a few stones on the ground. Although part of them had been damaged, very smooth patterns and smooth patterns could still be seen on them. Traces of holy oil and holy salt are also not common.

  After returning to the church, Father Rodney and the others also chatted with the church management and explained the follow-up, and then left Newport directly, preparing to return to New York.

  The incident was solved perfectly this time, and Jimmy was relieved of his worries. Nia and the three of them survived the catastrophe. They were exhausted mentally and physically after encountering such a terrible incident, so after Jimmy asked, they chose to return to New York with him. It has been almost a month since he came out, and the investigation of this disappearance case has just ended.

  As for Superintendent Porter, he hasn't been feeling well since his return and seemed a little out of spirits. Jimmy accompanied them to the police station, packed the three students' belongings, and sent them to the NYPD through logistics. Detective Department, and then Nia and the others left. Their case investigation was over.

  Superintendent Porter sent Jimmy and the others away from the police station. When they were at the door, he pulled Jimmy and asked him to give him a hint on how he achieved such a stunt. Jimmy didn't hide anything. He demonstrated how to load a bullet in front of him, but his bullets had been used up, so now he just simulated it with both hands.

  After leaving the police station, Jimmy first found a gun shop to replenish himself with bullets, and then took Nia and the others to the airport, where they bought tickets on the spot to return to New York.

  When Jimmy and Nia returned home, they were summoned by Kevin's call before they had rested. They happened to go to their father-in-law's house for dinner, so they didn't have to choose a restaurant when going out to eat.

  Kevin was really worried to death. Originally, this case was for Nia to gain some performance and increase a lot of capital when she was promoted in the bureau to prevent others from gossiping, which would affect subsequent operations. Now They had just completed the investigation of several cases when they suddenly encountered this weird thing. All three police detectives were unconscious. If Jimmy hadn't arrived in time and arranged for people from the church to help revive them, who would have known what would happen next. What.

  Jimmy called Kevin to explain the situation on the night he arrived in Newport, but in any case, talking on the phone was not as good as talking in person, so after learning the time of their return, he did not call Jimmy and Kevin at all. During Nia's rest time, call her over first to understand the situation.

  Kevin also knew about supernatural cases, but he had never experienced them. In fact, most people had never encountered them. As the top leader of the police station, he had the right to know.

  In the situation Nia encountered this time, if he had rushed to Newport City after learning about the situation, he would most likely have been blinded when he arrived. He could only leave it to the hospital and doctors to handle it, because he would not be able to deal with it immediately. Just think of the supernatural aspect.

  Jimmy had really handled this kind of case. When Superintendent Porter asked them to go to Ghost Lake to investigate and then became comatose, and the doctor could not find any problems after examination, he immediately thought of supernatural cases. Therefore, he contacted people from familiar churches to come and help, which was quicker than most people.

  Kevin is still very concerned about this supernatural event. Nia is still very excited when talking about it. This is the first time she has seen people in the church perform exorcisms with her own eyes, and she has performed exorcisms many times. This experience was the first she had ever done in New York. It was an experience that was completely unavailable in the city. The only regret was that she was a hundred meters away the whole time, so she could only barely see a little bit, and there was no way to observe it up close.

  Jimmy also explained some of the conditions at the scene to Kevin, including the legend of Ghost Lake itself.

  After all, Jimmy stayed with Father Rodney for a long time, and he also took the opportunity to communicate with the priests about the legend of Ghost Lake. According to Father Rodney's speculation, this so-called legend of Ghost Lake was not the result of this exorcism. The key point of the demon is that theoretically three young people cannot become such powerful ghosts. There should be other factors in the lake that affect them and turn them into resentful spirits.

  In fact, in the end, the priests carried out a large-scale purification of the lake water to target this unknown and invisible influencing factor. After all, the lake water is not other observable resentful spirits, and there are not many direct methods of elimination available.

  Their losses were also very serious this time. Let’s not talk about anything else. That piece of rag was not simple. There are definitely not many ancient relics passed down. One piece was lost in a large-scale purification. Although Father Antonio did not say it, it should still be It's very distressing, otherwise they would have used this trick directly.

  One thing to say is that the church people are still very responsible. They did not give up cleaning up Ghost Lake because of the high cost, which is very popular. Even if they have their own purposes, the results are good.

  After hearing everything, Kevin thought for a moment and asked, "So, Jimmy, you can see ghosts and hurt them?"

  Jimmy nodded, "It's no problem to see them, and the injuries are real, but the efficiency is not as good as that of the church people. I can't destroy them directly, I can only weaken them by shooting until the ghosts disappear."    Kevin : "Do you need to shoot a lot? How long does it take to kill a ghost?"

  Jimmy: "Not necessarily. We eliminated the last ghosts that emerged from the ghost lake. I fired at least dozens of shots, but in the end it was Father Rodney and them who had the final say."

  Kevin took a deep breath and said, "In other words, even someone like you who can detect ghosts still cannot handle supernatural events on his own. So if it were ordinary police officers or your FBI agents, it is basically certain that they would not be able to solve such supernatural events." Matters must be handled by the church, right?"

  Jimmy nodded: "For ordinary people, it is best to stay away from this kind of thing, restrain your curiosity, and never get involved. Once an accident occurs, their ending will not be good.

  In fact, I have encountered this kind of thing before. In Dallas, Texas, there was a ghost that existed a hundred years ago in a river. It happened to be a well-known camping spot nearby. There were several disappearance cases. Only after the FBI got involved did they find out the reason for their disappearance. Of course, the church later showed up to solve the incident.

  The local police never thought that there would be supernatural events there, and basically none of the missing people were found. In the end, they found many skeletons at the bottom of the river, and the missing people were all dead. "

  Kevin: "What about New York?"

  Jimmy: "New York is different. There are not many supernatural incidents here, and there are not many vicious incidents. At least I haven't encountered them a few times in the past few years. This is the territory of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, and the church will handle these things."

  Kevin: "So, what did you encounter?"

  Jimmy: "The most recent one is a building in the Bronx. There was a mass murder there, and then the resentful spirits stayed. Later, the church found out about it. They conducted a large-scale purification ceremony there, which was quite sensational at the time. .”

  Kevin nodded: "I've heard about this. Many people say that the church did this specifically to expand their influence. Are they really exorcising demons?"

  Jimmy: "Yes, if they hadn't done it at that time, it would have taken at most a few years for the resentful spirit to take shape. At that time, the time was just right, and the resentful spirit energy had just begun to appear, and it had not yet affected the people in that building. resident."

  Kevin's mind turned quickly, and he accurately extracted the most important point of Jimmy's words: "In other words, there is a certain probability that ghosts will appear in places where major cases have occurred?"

  Jimmy looked at Kevin in surprise and shook his head: "Not necessarily, the chance of this kind of thing happening is very low. If ghosts would appear just because of dead people, the East River and the Hudson River would have been in chaos by now. Around New York There are all kinds of things at the bottom of the river, and we usually don't find such anomalies.

  If there are any possible clues about this kind of supernatural incident, it is best to leave it to the church and let them handle it. You can go to Father Rodney or even go to Staten Island to find Father White. Ordinary priests cannot solve this kind of problem. You can only go to the church's professional exorcist priest. "

  Kevin nodded and looked at Nia: "Nia, you heard me. If something like this happens, you must go to the church and find Father Rodney as soon as possible when you can't contact Jimmy."

  Jimmy: "Also, if you suspect that you have encountered this kind of situation, you must go to a church, especially an old church. Even if ordinary priests can't solve it, at least there is enough holy light energy in the church to temporarily protect you."

  Kevin also nodded. Although their family is not a believer, they will not refuse the church's help in the face of the facts. What's more, Jimmy has a good relationship with the church. As a family member, those acquaintances in the church should also help them. .

  Jimmy asked Nia to return the ascetic ring to him. If there was a chance later, he would also need to ask Father Rodney and the others to help purify the ring and even charge it. He did not plan to wear this ring himself. , it still has to be handed over to Nia, but it must be someone who can protect Nia, even if it is just a simple protection. Just like this time, Nia woke up earlier than the other two detectives, which shows that the ring is still useful. .

  Kevin looked at Jimmy's movements and nodded slightly. The ring looked a bit old at first glance, and the cross on it also showed its identity. For Jimmy to care so much, it shows the value of the ring itself. Maybe it really is. A life-saving thing. Wearing such a ring on Nia's hand can also show how much Jimmy cares about Nia.

  After talking about the matter, Kevin and the others came out of the study and had dinner together as a family. Jimmy and Nia then went home to rest. Nia had been on a business trip for almost a month, and she had a holiday to take a good rest when she came back. , but Jimmy was not so lucky and had to go to work the next day.

  Mark and Julia were speechless when they saw Jimmy coming to the office. After all, they were not familiar with things in the past, but Jimmy spent too much time on vacation and outing this year. They both spent a lot of time on their own. There is very little time to handle the cases in the group, and even vacation time.

  But the two of them didn't complain. Apart from anything else, the bad things they encountered, if it were the boss, they might have died. Mark was shot, and Julia was kidnapped. These are definitely fatal, Jimmy Every time, he showed up immediately, rescued them, and withstood a lot of pressure for them, so that they could continue to stay in the FBI.

  However, Jimmy is indeed not very involved in the detection of homicide cases now. Most of them are left to Mark and Julia to handle on their own. The detection rate of their team has also dropped a lot, and the results of their team are becoming more and more consistent with other teams.
