North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 696

  It was quite late when Jimmy left the gentleman's club, but he still didn't want to go home, so he went to the bar to relax.

  Nia likes to watch horror movies when she comes back these days. Jimmy doesn't like those crude movies at all, but he can't force her to watch them.

  Dr. Mary's previous advice was not to let her see it again, but Jimmy didn't want to go too far. At least he should adjust it gradually and slowly. Forcibly preventing her from seeing it might trigger a rebellious psychology, so he edited the outrageous things in advance. The video tapes were put aside, and he had fast-forwarded through the remaining ones, at least he could still watch them.

  It was easier to sit in his own bar and drink. He just happened to think about what Ruiz said just now. In fact, if you think about it, it is normal for there to be moles in the bureau. The underworld has always corroded law enforcement agencies. .

  The NYPD police stations in New York are dotted with the backends of various gangs. The income of police officers is not high. It can even be said that in the most well-known cities in the United States, the income of the NYPD is on the low side. Many police officers who seem to have a high income can only earn it by working a lot of overtime if they have no extra income. It can be said that they make money with their lives. It is also an open secret that they can get some money from certain channels to improve their lives.

  As for the organization that gangs hate the most and have the most helplessness about, the FBI has been cracking down on gangs for decades. It has been focusing on big gangs since the Hoover era, but the social class in the United States has always belonged to gangs. It is impossible to stop a hotbed, so the FBI did not go too far.

  It is impossible for the gang to deal with the FBI. The only way is to hide or arrange for the mole. As for the level of the mole who takes the money, this cannot be determined. It is not that it has never happened from top to bottom. A one-pot situation.

  Ruiz himself was in charge of this business before, and even took down several big families with heavy hands. In this way, many people were inevitably missed. The Mafia family, especially many vicious organizations, still exist, because There is really no evidence to catch them all, and the gangsters are very smart.

  Now that someone from a certain gang can be called a backstage person, his level will definitely not be low. We will see if Ruiz can resist it. If Jimmy really pursues it, it will probably cause a series of problems. , especially when the other party may be meeting certain people.

  Time passed little by little, and Nia probably watched too many low-quality movies, so she started asking Jimmy to accompany her to the cinema to watch movies. And it wasn't horror movies or war movies, most of them were dramas or romance movies. The plot of this movie makes Jimmy depressed. The plot of this movie is too straightforward. Except for those movie critics who dig deep into the meaning of the plot and give high scores, the number of viewers in the cinema is very small.

  Jimmy is also helpless. He has talked to Nia many times. Nia only seems to be slightly better. In fact, she still has not given up investigating supernatural cases. However, she does not have certain characteristics like Jimmy. She occasionally goes Looking at the scene, she found nothing. Even though she found many possible clues, she still found nothing.

  Jimmy even met with Father Rodney, hoping that when they handle the case again, he would take Jimmy and Nia together so that Nia could experience how dangerous evil spirits or demons are. However, Father Rodney was simply impossible. Promise Jimmy, it doesn't matter if it's just Jimmy. Nia is an ordinary person. She is still Jimmy's wife. She must protect Nia's safety before their child is born no matter what.

  Now Jimmy has really experienced the tangled feeling of Hank from the New Mexico DEA. Hank's wife also has psychological problems. Hank has not solved them for many years and has always been on guard. Although Nia and Hank's wife Mary is different, but this abnormal mental state has also made Jimmy feel a little exhausted.

  Jimmy once again sought the assistance of Dr. Mary. After many conversations with Jimmy, Nia realized her problem and went to Mary's studio without hesitation. After several conversations, she was somewhat better.

  In addition, Dr. Mary also got some scrap information from Nia. These scraps and the identities of Nia and Jimmy were used as proof, which still shocked Dr. Mary. At the same time, she also got a clearer understanding of Nia’s situation. In fact, There is a lack of sense of security, especially as a police officer, who is used to facing various emergencies with force, and suddenly encounters such a completely unmanageable thing, the sense of gap is too big.

  Faced with this situation, Dr. Mary actually had no good solution, because this matter was actually beyond the scope of her experience. She could only try to make Nia relax and prescribe some antidepressants for her.

  Jimmy has made up his mind. Even if it is a little bit dangerous, when he encounters this kind of supernatural case next time, he will let Nia participate in it, even if it is just a bystander, and adding more stimulation may make her feel better. However, some protective equipment must be prepared for her in advance. Nia can carry all the things the church has given her.

  Life is not always smooth sailing. When Jimmy was worried about Nia, various things were still moving forward according to the established order. Soon a task fell on Jimmy's head, and it was someone else's trouble. Turned from a long distance.

  At DC headquarters, Peter saw Jimmy walking in with a box, stood up and hugged him, "Jimmy, welcome to DC."

  Jimmy pushed the suitcase next to Peter's office and placed it, "What's going on? Why did you call me to DC? Ruiz didn't even explain clearly."

  Peter: "Well, he doesn't know. We haven't synchronized the case with him. You sit down first and I'll gather some people."

  After he finished speaking, he came to the door and asked the people outside to pour Jimmy a cup of coffee, and then left.

  Soon Jimmy came to the conference room next to him. Peter was in front of the conference table and turned on the monitor. Photos of a middle-aged man and a young man appeared on it, with their names below, "These are two agents from the Washington DC office." , Alex Baker, senior agent, and Benjamin Walker, intelligence agent, computer expert, who has just been transferred to field duty.

  They disappeared while investigating a previous case. The DC office has arranged for other agents to investigate the case and location they were investigating before their disappearance, but there are no clues. The last location where their cell phones were found is in southern DC. Our people are investigating Several bullet casings and some blood stains were later found there, and it has now been determined that one of the blood stains was Benjamin's. "

  Peter again showed the location where the blood was found, along with photos of the surrounding environment, and the location of the bullet casings.

  Peter: "The case they were investigating before they disappeared was a human trafficking case. A victim escaped on the way the trafficker transferred her and reported the matter to the police in DC. Since it involves multiple states, the case is now being handled by the DC office. "

  Peter took several printed files from the table and distributed them to the agents sitting there. Of course, Jimmy also got one.

  The file is not complicated. A 16-year-old girl was kidnapped from Arizona and then trafficked to a small town in Ohio. Because she had been kept in the basement, she did not know the specific location, but she had seen it. An expired newspaper was used to fill the box as a buffer, so I probably knew it was somewhere in Ohio.

  It is almost entirely conceivable what kind of persecution the girl would suffer in this environment. A few months later she was transferred again and was taken over by another person and became someone else's slave. After being moved three times, she was transferred again. This time she managed to escape on the road and entered a nearby gas station. With the help of her boss, she called the police and was saved.

  There are several photos in the file. The girl above does not look like she is 16 years old at all. She has dirty blond hair, a thin face, and an abnormally white skin. She does not look like a healthy teenager at all.

  In addition to the normal photos, there are several photos of scars on her body. Many of them have healed, but there are also a few that look very new. They should have been injured not long ago. It is conceivable that they were caused when she was transferred.

  In fact, if you think about it, it is almost understandable. For nearly a year of kidnapping, imprisonment, and abuse, let alone a little girl, even an adult would not be able to bear it.

  Jimmy stared at the file and couldn't help but gnash his teeth. This kind of human trafficking case has never been eliminated in the United States. Some people are rescued every year, but more often the bodies are found but the culprit cannot be found...

  In New York, Jimmy has basically never encountered such cases. Most of them are women controlled by gangs and engaged in some pornographic industries. Of course, they are also miserable, but at least they are better than girls who are kidnapped and imprisoned.

  They can go out and meet people. Even if their freedom is restricted and they have to sell their bodies, at least they have some dignity in living, and they also have a certain right of freedom of choice. For these girls who are kidnapped and trafficked by human traffickers, they can only choose to die. Except for this, other freedoms have been completely lost.

  Just looking at the files, Jimmy already frowned a little. This kind of case was indeed tragic, but it was very difficult to catch the traffickers and the people who dealt with them based on the clues dictated by these girls.

  However, this human trafficking case did not continue to be investigated, because the investigation of the case did not last long before the missing agent case appeared. Now their manpower has been fully involved in the missing agent case, but the effect is not good. Now they can There are not many definite clues.

  The movement in the DC office alerted the headquarters. As for a major event like the disappearance of an FBI agent, it happened under the nose of the headquarters. It was impossible for them not to do something, so Peter was assigned to intervene in the investigation.

  Peter was also transferred from New York. Although the people under his command have been working together for a while, he really doesn't like the abilities of these people. You must know that Peter's previous crime detection rate was more than [-]%, while normal detectives The crime detection rate of police officers is only a little over half, so when he receives such an urgent task, the first thing he thinks of is Jimmy, who once had a crime detection rate that exceeded him, and Jimmy is very suitable for this kind of case. The case he was previously responsible for was homicide. He is professional in investigating clues and finding people.

  Peter contacted the Manhattan office in the name of an agent from the headquarters. Because the case involved could not be made public for the time being, he could only wait for Jimmy to come over and talk to him in detail.

  Peter's relationship in the Manhattan office was not interrupted just because he was transferred to the headquarters. It was a normal exchange of personnel for this kind of temporary secondment to cooperate with the case investigation, but this time it was more urgent, so there was no obstruction from the Manhattan side, Jimmy. Naturally, he came over as soon as he received the assignment.

  Seeing that everyone had read the information, Peter continued to display the investigation results of the DC office on the computer, including investigation and personnel records around the place where the blood stains were found, recent surveillance videos, etc. These are all routine investigations, and the DC office naturally It is also very comprehensive.

  All the clues were told to the agents present. Peter arranged for a few people to interact with the agents in the DC office. Then he took Jimmy back to the office, "Jimmy, I'm going to have to work hard for you this time."

  Jimmy: "It's nothing, it's my job. What does the headquarters say about this case? What guidance does it have from above?"

  Peter: "Find them at all costs. The people and organizations related to their disappearance must be captured."

  Jimmy: "What if they have an accident?"

  Peter did not continue, but took out a business card from the drawer, "This is the room reserved for you, reserved in my name. You go and rest first. When you arrive at my house in the evening, Elizabeth has already prepared dinner. "

  Jimmy took the hotel's business card and nodded. He understood that there were some things that he couldn't say, so he had to do them.

  Jimmy dragged his suitcase to the hotel and checked in. After cleaning, he began to check his equipment, the main magazine and the spare magazine, and the spare bullets in the revolver to make sure everything was OK. Then he got up and went back to the headquarters with Peter. Went to his house.

  Elizabeth was still very happy about Jimmy's arrival. Peter must have told her in advance, so the dinner was also rich.

  After dinner, Elizabeth tidied up the room, and Jimmy and Peter went to the small yard behind and sat under the light drinking beer and chatting.

  The time Peter came to Washington DC was not just a waste of time. Naturally, he also made connections here. This case seemed very difficult. It seemed that he took the case as a scapegoat, but it was actually an opportunity.

  In the nearly one year here, Peter has basically not been responsible for any big cases. At this level, if you want to rise again, you can't rely on seniority. You must have cases that you can handle to get enough credit.

  Peter is still young. He is in his forties and is really a backbone in the FBI system. He has not yet waited for retirement. He only works on some small cases or routine cases every time, which does not reflect his ability at all. Naturally, he is appreciated. There is no chance for people to let him take over.
