North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 818 Coordinates
In the morning, Jimmy looked at the computer screen with a smile. Little Liam had fallen asleep when he talked to Nia on the phone last night. He was still very unhappy when he woke up in the morning, so he called Nia again. The little guy happened to be awake, so he watched the video on the computer. Although Liam couldn't speak, he felt very happy just watching.

The little guy now can only wave his hands and feet, make some noises, and occasionally laugh, which can cause Nia and Jimmy to cheer. However, he obviously cannot understand why his father's face is displayed on the laptop monitor, and he is still reaching out to grab the screen.

Jimmy was pointing at the screen and making faces when his cell phone rang.

The smile on his face disappeared immediately. This call came at a really bad time. However, after taking a look at the number, Jimmy picked up the phone. "Agent Yang, something seems wrong. I thought maybe you would be interested."

Jimmy: "Wait a minute. Nia, I have a case to handle, so I'm going to hang up now. You can talk now."

The monitoring team member said, "I just received two pieces of information. Gus left home, but he did not go to the restaurant. He went south. And half an hour ago, Jesse did not drive his own car. Instead, he got into the car of old man Mike and left, also heading south of the city. Our people have followed them, and now they have left Albuquerque."

Jimmy: "Do you know their destination? Where is the team now?"

"They have reached the small town of Sandos and are still heading south. We suspect they may continue to head south."

Jimmy: "I'll leave right away and report my location at any time."

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy immediately changed his clothes, packed his equipment and left. Albuquerque is not too far from the US-Mexico border. If Gus and his team continued driving south, they would easily reach the border. For drug dealers, it is too easy to travel back and forth between the US-Mexico border.

The US-Mexico border does not conduct strict inspections on people traveling from the United States to Mexico. The focus of inspection is on people traveling from Mexico to the United States, so it is easy to get on the scene as long as you have a passport. For drug dealers, there are many ways to return to the United States from Mexico. It is very easy to forge identities, sneak through tunnels, or even walk directly across the river. All they have to do is avoid the border patrol.

Gus had just been provoked last night, and he was leaving Albuquerque today. No matter how you looked at it, it was not good news. Jimmy had originally intended to provoke him into exposing his drug manufacturing or trafficking routes, but running away directly would be too hurtful. If he didn't come back, all Jimmy's hard work during this period would be in vain.

If it was just him, it would be fine, but now there is also the security director Mike and a drug maker Jesse Pinkman. It seems like they are going to Mexico to open a second laboratory in order to maintain their drug-making capabilities.

Jimmy drove the DEA car south at an accelerated speed. Fortunately, it was still early and there were not many cars on the road, which at least did not affect his actions too much.

The phone rang again, and the head of the surveillance team informed Jimmy that their people were attacked by an oncoming car. After they stopped the car to avoid it, they lost track of Gus.

Jimmy looked at his position and found that he was not far from where they were attacked, so he decided to go over and take a look.

Because the monitoring team needs to use monitoring equipment and stay in the car for a long time, they usually use a truck with a larger compartment. When Jimmy arrived, the truck had already stopped on the side of the road. There were several bullet holes on the side of the car, and the driver's window glass was also cracked. "How are you? Are you injured?"

The three members of the monitoring team shook their heads and said, "We have checked. We were not shot. We just bumped into the carriage and fell. We lost our target. The other party should be arranged by them to intercept us."

Jimmy: "Have you confirmed the identity of the other party? What's the license plate number?"

"Fake license plate, checked."

Gus had not been away for long. Jimmy thought about it and asked them to go back for the time being while he drove on to chase him.

The desert highway is relatively easy to follow, but although there are not many cars on the road, it is still difficult to confirm the location of Gus and the others, after all, they have been running for a while in advance.

On this fairly straight road, Jimmy simply stepped on the accelerator and drove at full speed, overtaking one truck and car after another, all the way to El Paso.

Gus and his friends obviously didn't expect to meet someone like Jimmy. Just before they were about to arrive in El Paso, Jimmy had already come up behind them. However, Jimmy didn't recognize their convoy from behind. He kept speeding up to overtake the car behind them, only to find that the driver was Old Mike and Jesse was sitting in the passenger seat.

This kind of car speeding on the road is still very conspicuous. Old Mike turned his head to look when Jimmy passed by. He didn't care at first, but he found that the car slowed down, quickly paralleled, and then continued to follow him.

Mike rolled his eyes. He had already seen Jimmy. The Asian man in a suit was now the focus of their attention. Although he didn't see his face, it was easy to guess who he was. He picked up the phone and called Gus. He said Jimmy was following them. Gus only thought for a moment and asked Mike and the others to slow down, turn into the wilderness next to them, and soon stopped in a deserted place.

Jimmy followed and stopped the car, then just got out and walked over, Gus and the others had already gotten out, Mike and Jesse were standing behind Gus waiting for Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Hello again, Mr. Flynn."

Gus smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. Yang. What can I do for you?"

Jimmy: "It's just a small matter. Someone shot at our people. I'm tracking down the whereabouts of the enemy."

Gus: "Oh? Who dares to openly attack an FBI agent? This is a very serious crime."

Jimmy: "Yes, it's very serious, so I have to find them. Mr. Flynn, have you seen the black SUV?"

Gus: "No, if I find such a criminal, I will report it to you."

Jimmy: "That's great. You really deserve to be an important funder of the DEA. But where are you going?"

Gus: "Oh, we're just going to Mexico. I need to discuss business cooperation with our supplier."

Jimmy: “What type of collaboration?”

Gus still had a smile on his face. "It's just some business matters. It's not convenient to disclose."

Jimmy: "Really? You seem very confident. I hope you can make more money this time. Oh, I don't know how long you will stay in Mexico. If you come back, I hope you can come to the DEA office. I have something to discuss with you."

Gus: “About what?”

Jimmy: "Just a quick chat, for example, the workers in the laundry factory and the chicken farm, it seems that you pay great attention to the workers' experience. You send the workers' clothes to be washed every day, and you still have to work overtime at night to process the batter and seasoning for the fried chicken shop. It seems that the workers are treated very well."

Gus's smile froze, and he waited for a few seconds before saying, "Only by treating employees well can they feel more at home, and everyone will be more efficient at work. This is my experience over the years."

Jimmy: "A sense of belonging, indeed. They should be grateful to you. But I have a question. We observed two people lying on the ground in your chicken farm before. Others carried them into a truck and took them away. Who are they? Where are they?"

Gus's smile disappeared. The location of the chicken farm was carefully selected by him, and the only earth slope in the distance was still under their control. How did the FBI know about it?
Gus: "I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm usually in the restaurant and I don't know. I think maybe I need to ask other people when I come back."

Jimmy looked at Gus and smiled slightly, "Really? Then why did my people see you standing not far in front of them, and why were there gunshots at the scene?"

Gus: "Am I going to be arrested?"

Jimmy: "No, we're just chatting. We are the FBI and DEA. We value evidence. Free judgment is not our way."

Gus: "In that case, I will leave now. We have some business matters to deal with as soon as possible. Goodbye, Agent Yang."

Jimmy: "Good luck on your journey, bye, Mr. Flynn."

Just as Gus turned around, Jimmy spoke again, "Oh, one last thing. The Salamanca family is not capable of doing certain things, and it is not so easy for Bolsa to be shot dead by the Mexican police. I think we will have to talk about these topics later."

Jimmy paused as he watched Gus, then continued walking towards his car, with Mike and Jesse following suit as they got into their cars and started to drive away.

Jimmy turned his head to look behind him. A white car was parked far behind them, at least a few hundred meters away. The other car did not get closer while Jimmy was talking to Gus. Jimmy got in the car and turned around in the wilderness, but that car also turned around and headed towards the highway, and followed Gus' car south.

It seems that this car belongs to Gus's bodyguards. He didn't notice them at all when he passed by the white car before. He just passed by it after making sure that the people inside were not his target. As a drug lord, Gus would never put himself in danger. Then the people who attacked the monitoring team before should be one of Gus's bodyguards. It's just that after they shot at the monitoring team, they could not stay with Gus to avoid implicating him, so they should have gone straight back to Albuquerque.

Jimmy had chased after them because he was worried that Gus and the others would escape, but when he caught up with Gus, he discovered that neither of their two cars were the ones the surveillance team had recorded attacking them in. He had no way of taking them back directly and could only let them go.

There is no evidence to incriminate Gus now, and the people who attacked the surveillance team cannot be found at all. Walter, the witness, is the biggest card in Jimmy's hand. His communication with Gus was basically in the laboratory of the laundry factory, and as for other places, they just met and chatted at most. He has no way to identify the chicken farm or other crime scenes. If he is released directly and Gus's laundry factory is raided, he can indeed be arrested temporarily, but the reason is not enough to convict him directly. Once an accident occurs during the trial, he will not be able to be caught in the short term.

Jimmy certainly didn't want to catch someone and then not be able to convict him. Besides, they had enough money to pay bail, and it would be difficult to ask them to stay in jail for a while and then collect evidence.

Back in Albuquerque, Jimmy stayed near Walter's car wash. When Walter appeared again, Jimmy went over to let him get in the car. "You said Jesse Pinkman was your best partner, right?"

Walter nodded, and Jimmy continued, "He went to Mexico today with Gus and Mike. I'm just telling you the news. Be careful. I think you're likely to be replaced."

Walter said in surprise: "No wonder Jesse didn't show up today." Then he fell silent.

Jimmy: "Okay, get ready, I think we might have to act soon. That's all I have to say, get out of the car."

Jimmy waited for Walter to get out of the car and drove away.

From what Walter White said to him before, it can be basically judged that he has a good relationship with Jesse. So the current situation is interesting. Gus is obviously very interested in Jesse, and from the fact that he can go to Mexico with Gus, it can be seen that Walter's presence is no longer necessary.

If Gus and his crew did not escape this time, then when they come back, Walter's mission would be almost over. In other words, it is very likely that something very embarrassing will happen by then, and maybe Walter will disappear from the face of the earth.

After Jimmy left Walter, he immediately rushed to Hank's house. Gus's relationship with the Salamanca family killers was not close, and there was no direct evidence at present, so it would be better for the DEA and himself to investigate and arrest Gus and arrest him on charges of manufacturing and trafficking methamphetamine.

To capture Gus, they need to plan the arrest time in a unified manner. There are many people and locations. The DEA has abundant human resources and can even let the police get involved. As for the FBI Albuquerque office, forget it. They didn't contribute in the whole process and there is no need to give them any credit.

Prepare these things in advance, and then just wait for the opportunity.

After waiting for two days without any news from Gus, Jimmy really suspected that he might have escaped. Mike and Jesse, who were traveling with him, also did not show up. Things became very tricky. Jimmy was very annoyed. If he didn't get any more news, he would have to take action. If those people in the laundry and the chicken farm also disappeared, he would have nothing to gain.

Jimmy investigated around and returned to the hotel in frustration, but received a letter at the hotel front desk. There was no name on the letter, only a GPS coordinate and Eladio's name.

Back in the room, Jimmy checked the coordinates directly. They were in Mexico, not far from the border. However, the map only marked the coordinates and there was no satellite image. He was not sure what was here. He only knew that the location was in the wilderness, not a city.

Maybe it was the location where Eladio was hiding. Jimmy was still confused. Who gave him the coordinates?
