North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 747 The restless person

Now that everything is clear, and the people who come here are also people they know, then the arrangements for Mark and Julia will be much better, and there should be no issues like being targeted after changing the team leader.

It's been a few days since he got the news, and Jimmy is also planning to live his life in the future. Based on his experience in the past few years, the support team will call at most two or three times a year. The warning light on the homicide team will basically not light up, so if he is in the office It must be quite boring to stay there.

What can you do when you are bored? Of course, I need to make up for my shortcomings first, especially my academic qualifications. Thanks to Kevin's help, I can get a master's degree in one step through sponsorship and the bureau's policies. Basically, it is enough for my career. If you have enough time, you will naturally need to catch up on the courses.

In the past, due to the long business trip case processing time, he obviously could not catch up with the semester exam. For his special profession, many things can be easily explained. Now that he has time, he can study for make-up exams and so on. If he can do it in advance It will be better if you complete the credits.

The second one is my and Nia's plan to create a human being. Of course, to realize this plan, we need to work hard, and correspondingly, we also need to do a lot of exercise. We just happened to take advantage of this time to do some training.

Finally, just for future consideration, he plans to get involved in the troubles at Quantico Academy. It would also be a good thing to train more students. Just like this time they went to the Salt Lake City office, it would be more convenient to have someone know him than to follow the process. Even if these people are all newcomers and trainee agents, as the number increases, naturally many things will become easier to talk about.

In addition to these personal matters, his poor godson Elliot has not received training for several months. He has to make up for it when he has time. After all, he is his godson and not a stranger. Jimmy has promised to practice shooting with him on weekends for a long time.

Maybe you can take advantage of this free time to walk around. Anyway, Ruiz relayed what some people said. They need to calm down by themselves. Maybe just traveling around in the name of going out is more in line with their requirements, but it just doesn’t work. He knew whether his thoughts would make Ruiz so angry that no one wanted his subordinates to be so free and loose.

But the plan is just a plan, and we have to wait and see whether it can be realized. At least in the early stage, to show off, I still have to stay in the office for a while.

Lambert is the agent in charge and the head of the branch office, and Dave is the head of the New York office, one level higher than Lambert. As mentioned before, the New York office is the only three with high allocations. department.

Now Nia also knows that Jimmy is bored, so it would be good to take a walk outside during this period. Although Jimmy seems normal after get off work, having nothing to do is quite worrying. After all, there are too many people in the United States who are not working. An example of becoming waste.

Jimmy shook hands with Ray and left the office, walking back to his separate office.

The guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, and Jimmy was relieved. With Ruiz taking care of him, and Mark and Julia, two people who were already completely familiar with the homicide team and New York, to help, if Ray still couldn't stand, it would be because Jimmy didn't give him face. The problem is not a problem, but a problem of his ability. It makes little sense for Director Lambert to train such a person.

Fortunately, Kevin was familiar with the dirty thoughts of these upper-class people, and after talking to Jimmy once, he calmed Nia down. It only took a year or two, and it would be over soon.

Of course Jimmy wanted to introduce them, and Ray got to know them for a while, and then the four of them sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. Jimmy stood up and said: "Okay, Ray, I'll leave these two to you, everything goes well. "

Jimmy sat on the chair, turned on the computer, looked at the new messages on it, checked the email, and after making sure that nothing happened, he simply took tea leaves from the bookshelf and went to the sofa to make tea and rest.

Jimmy chatted with Ray for a while before going to see Lambert to make sure everything was normal on his side before he was ready to leave. Of course, he also needed to tell Nia in advance.

Nia also knew about Jimmy's miserable experience, but she didn't know the twists and turns here, and Jimmy didn't want to make it too clear. After all, it was a bit embarrassing, so she could only ask Kevin about it.

So after hanging out for a while, when Jimmy proposed to go to Dallas to meet with Director Lambert, Ruiz happily agreed, not counting a vacation, and sent Jimmy away directly in the name of a business trip. Obviously, he also They underestimated how much the idle and bored Jimmy could torment them. That is to say, Dave's level was too high. If he were any lower level, he probably wouldn't be able to escape being harassed by Jimmy.

Soon, Agent Ray Hope arrived at the Manhattan office. Jimmy met him at the elevator and took him through the process first. After meeting with the administrative department and Ruiz, he took him directly to the homicide office. "Mark, Julia, this is Agent Ray Hope, formerly of the Dallas office, who will be taking my place. Ray, Mark Anderson, Julia Lee."

Jimmy finally started his 9-to-5 working life, without working overtime at all, and basically having complete freedom except being in the office building.

But for people like Jimmy, who can really refuse a visit happily, so if you can hide, you can hide, if you can't hide, you can only endure it, not to mention those in the public affairs office and the administrative department, even Ruiz They were all harassed by him.

Unlike other people's offices, Jimmy's office has a wooden door with no windows. There is a sign "Emergency Support" on the wall next to it, with Jimmy Young's name on the bottom. This is an exclusive room. office.

Jimmy walked in with his suitcase in hand, "Director Lambert, long time no see."

At the reception banquet in the evening, Jimmy specially invited Ruiz. Although Ray was from outside, Director Lambert always had to give him face. Since he called Jimmy specially, Jimmy also had to give him enough face. Although Ray couldn't be introduced to Dave, Ruiz was still necessary.

Jimmy smiled and knocked on half of the door. "Dong dong." Director Lambert looked up and said, "Oh, Jimmy boy. Come in."

It was okay at the beginning, but after more than half a month, he was so idle that he wandered around. People he knew before but didn't have much contact with became the targets of his harassment. Soon everyone knew that there was an idle person in the bureau who was so idle that it hurt. Guy.

Jimmy kissed Nia goodbye early in the morning, packed his suitcase and went out, and soon arrived in Dallas.

The office space is not small. After all, it used to be a small warehouse, with an area of ​​20 square meters. Although there are no windows around it, the central air-conditioning outlet and ventilation are still no problem. It is a little depressing, but it is concealed enough.

Tim Dunn is also an old acquaintance of Jimmy, and he also knows some inside information, so since Jimmy has agreed to this unreasonable office request, he might as well go a little further, except for a desk, office chair and a In addition to the bookshelf, there are two small single sofas and a coffee table, just enough for Jimmy to put his own tea set. Except that it is not as big as the previous homicide department office, there is basically no difference.

Director Lambert has changed his office after being promoted. It is of course larger than the original office and the environment is better. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the furnishings of his office have basically not changed. It seems that things from the previous office have been moved. Come over.

Lambert also stood up from his seat and came to the reception area. Jimmy put the suitcase aside and handed over a box of cigars that he had taken out in advance. "It is a local product in Havana. It is said to come from a special small workshop. You can try it." Try it."

Lambert didn't refuse. He took the box and opened it. He smoked a cigar from inside. He opened the sealed tube and put the cigar under his nose and smelled it. "It smells good. Where did you get it?" I took a cigar cutter and cut off the head and tail, and started tasting.

Jimmy smiled and said: "You know, smuggling is rampant over there in New York, and there will always be some good stuff." This box of cigars actually belongs to Kevin. Jimmy got it from his study, but it's just Kevin's. The origin is not too serious. This thing is a consumable item. It is not a big deal if a good thing is intercepted by the person who handles it.

Lambert took two sips and nodded, "It's really good. Why don't you have one?"

Jimmy shook his head: "I won't smoke this anymore. I don't understand." He took out his cigarette case and lighter, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Lambert: "What's the matter with coming here this time? Looking at you carrying a suitcase, are you going on a business trip somewhere?"

Jimmy: "Oh, it's not a business trip. I just came to see you and see other friends by the way. I have been busy before."

Lambert: "Well, since I'm here, let's stay here for two days to have fun. How is Ray doing in New York?"

Jimmy smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have made arrangements and will definitely give him the greatest support. There are people above who support him, and the people below are also very capable. He will definitely be fine."

Lambert nodded: "Well, I am definitely relieved about your arrangement. It would be a good thing to let him change places. What about you? Do you want to come to Dallas?"

Jimmy smiled bitterly: "I can't help it. It's not easy to leave New York."

Lambert laughed loudly: "Of course, if I were in Dave's position, I wouldn't let you go. But don't worry, you are still young, and time is on your side. Just wait patiently and I will have you." s position."

Jimmy: "Thank you."

After chatting for a while, Jimmy put out the cigarette butt and said to Lambert: "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I also need to see Father Horton. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Lambert: "Father Horton, then you don't want to go to church. He had something happen to him some time ago and is now in the hospital."

Jimmy looked at Lambert in surprise: "What happened?"

Lambert: "I don't know. I only found out about it when I went to church last weekend. I went to the hospital to see him, but he didn't explain what it was."

Jimmy: "Then I'll go to the hospital to see him. Please give me the hospital address."

Lambert gave Jimmy the name and location of the hospital, exchanged a few words with Jimmy, and then got up and left. Lambert was also very considerate and called someone to temporarily arrange a car for Jimmy. This was really interesting. .

Father Holden was the priest who performed the exorcism ceremony on Jimmy. It was also from that time that Jimmy began to undergo some changes, and he was not as violent as before. Jimmy once suspected that the exorcism ceremony seemed to be some of the things contained in his body. The dirt that prompted his violence was cleaned up, but there was no evidence.

After driving to the hospital, Jimmy asked the ward number at the nurse's desk, knocked on the door with the flowers he bought temporarily, opened the door and entered the ward.

Father Holden was lying on the bed, and half of the bed had been raised. Holden leaned over and turned his head to see Jimmy coming in, with a surprised expression on his face, "Oh, Jimmy, why are you here?"

Jimmy: "I came to Dallas on a business trip. I heard you were in the hospital and I came to see you. How about it? Is the injury serious? Was it a car accident?"

Holden's left leg was hung up with a plaster on it, and his left arm was the same, but flat on his chest. He looked down at his leg and whispered: "I made a mistake and was hit by a big tree. , but luckily, at least he’s not dead.”

Jimmy put the flowers on the bedside cabinet, "How come it hit his arms and legs at the same time? Did it hit him sideways?"

Horton: "No, just the legs, the arms are another matter. How did you come to Dallas?"

Jimmy: "I came to see Lambert. I didn't know you were injured until I was in his office just now. To be honest, are you in trouble?"

Holden nodded: "Well, this was an injury sustained during an exorcism operation a few days ago. Fortunately, he was expelled in the end, otherwise I wouldn't have survived."

Jimmy frowned: "Is it so serious? Can you tell me?"

Holden looked at Jimmy: "You can't handle this kind of thing. I've contacted people in the suburbs of Houston and they will arrange personnel to come and handle it."

Jimmy sat directly on the hospital bed, "I have nothing to do. Tell me, let me gain some experience. By the way, I am also a non-staff exorcist certified by the Archdiocese of New York..."

Holden's eyes widened. He had done the exorcism ritual for Jimmy before. He was obviously just an ordinary person who could see some supernatural events due to fate. How could he become an exorcist?

Jimmy saw Holden's disbelief. He stood up, pulled over his suitcase, took out the exorcism badge given by Father White and handed it to Holden.

He took it with his good right hand and observed it before confirming that it was genuine. When he returned it to Jimmy, he said with emotion: "I really didn't expect you to get this. Well, since you want to hear it, then Let me tell you. There was a place near Dallas where a legend of a suspected vampire once circulated..."

North of Dallas, Texas, there is a small town surrounded by woods, "Shadowtown" (not a real location). There is a legend that has been circulating for decades about a mysterious creature that has the ability to suck the blood of living things. and soul abilities, which residents call the "Texas Dusk Beast."
