North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 126 Reason

James explained to Jimmy the reason why he arranged the baptism. Jimmy was a little confused after receiving so much information.

The nickname "The Butcher" has spread widely, and Jimmy has indeed never received any treatment from a psychiatrist. He has his own scruples in this regard. After all, he has many secrets, not only his current identity, but most importantly, his

The secret of time travel and rebirth.

If a psychiatrist says something that shouldn't be said, things will be in trouble later.

Although Jimmy has a certain degree of confidence in himself and can keep secrets, the psychiatrists in movies and TV series he watched in the past were too powerful. Whether it was observing people's behavior or digging into privacy, Jimmy couldn't control it.

Director James is indeed doing it for Jimmy's own good. In American society, if you are a believer, people will come up with their own reasons to excuse themselves from many things. If you are an atheist, then it will be a little more troublesome.

Jimmy is not white, he is Chinese. If he is a believer, many people will regard him as one of their own. If he claims to be an atheist, he is likely to be considered eccentric and unsociable, and he will be discriminated against or regarded as an enemy.

Jimmy looked at James and asked a question he'd wanted to know the answer to for a long time: "James, why me?"

James was a little surprised. He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky. After a while, James said: "I think this may be God's will."

James: "My father participated in a war in Asia after World War II. In that war, he and many of his comrades were captured. However, it was this capture that allowed him to see a complete

Different world.

After the war, he and other captured soldiers came back, but the damage caused by that war was too heavy, and the whole society was unfair to them. He didn't care about the experience of being captured at all.

People's opinions are that they still can't forget the original experience.

For so many years, I never understood my father until you came last year.

I never thought that I would have a Chinese subordinate. After more than two months of observation, I admit that the experience that my father has always been obsessed with may be true. You are really completely different from what we knew before.

Maybe it's God's arrangement. Tom wants to find a reliable Asian, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. As his friend, my police station happens to have a Chinese auxiliary police officer, and 伱 also happens to be

I did the right thing but the wrong thing.

So I told Tom about you, and you knew about it after that."

Jimmy thought about what happened after he arrived at the police station. The right and wrong things he did before becoming a police officer should have been the arrest in the hospital that he thought was his credit.

Jimmy: "Are you talking about that time when you arrested the prisoners in the hospital? Why did you say it was the right thing or the wrong thing?"

James: "Jimmy, you were not a police officer at that time, but you injured the other person. Do you understand?"

Jimmy was stunned. In his mind, during the training, it was indeed said that the auxiliary police were only responsible for maintaining order, but this kind of criminal appeared in front of him, and then he arrested him, and he actually violated the rules? Even if he was a passerby,

Catching a suspect can be regarded as a heroic act of justice. Why couldn't I take action even though I was an auxiliary police officer at the time?

James: "It seems that you have thought of the key issue. Yes, at that time I just didn't want you to get into trouble. I never thought that you would be able to do so well after becoming a police officer. Your achievements this year have already been

Far beyond everyone’s imagination.”

James: "Jimmy, you are a good boy, and your experience over the past year has proven this. You are upright, kind, smart, brave, but not pedantic, and you have not turned into a bad cop.

The evaluation of you by all of us proves this. I am very glad that I did these things for you in exchange for becoming the most dazzling superstar in the police department now."

James: "You have done a good job, but there will always be some people who will target you for various reasons. Now I am just helping you make up for your final shortcomings. After becoming a believer, to many people, you will no longer be

You are an outsider, but a member of your own family. As for your ethnicity, for some specific political groups, not only will it not be a minus, but it will become your advantage."

Jimmy: "Thank you, James, thank you from the bottom of my heart."

James: "Go to the confessional and complete this link. From now on, just pray once every Sunday and let others know you. It doesn't need to last long, one or two months is enough. If it appears again, shoot and kill

You can also come here directly to confess something about someone."

Jimmy walked into the church and entered the church through the small door that Father Reuter passed through just now. There was a confession room here. Jimmy entered the room on the right, and Father Reuter was already waiting for him on the left.

The confessional is a small wooden house, divided into two small rooms on the left and right, separated by a hollow wooden board in the middle, with the priest and the confessor separated on both sides.

Jimmy told the story of the first few times he killed prisoners and asked the Lord for forgiveness. In order to have another reason to come here in the future, he should wait until later to talk about the subsequent killing records. It would be too scary to tell them all at once.

After Father Reuter replied to Jimmy that the Lord will forgive you, he handed over a small badge through the small hole in the middle of the confessional, and then left the confessional.

Jimmy took the badge and walked out of the church, while James was still standing outside.

James: "Did you get it?"

Jimmy: "Well, he gave me this."

Jimmy showed James the badge. It had a copper base with a cross in the middle. It was bare and unadorned. James took a look at it and said, "This is the monk's badge. Keep it well. It will be useful." (There is no such thing in reality.

(Purely a fabrication of identity for convenience)

After saying that, James turned and walked to his car. Jimmy put the badge away, walked to his car, and drove back to the apartment.

Jimmy finally solved a mystery that had troubled him for a long time, but he had no idea that James was so special to him because someone in his family participated in the war, which changed his impression of the Chinese.

Although they are two worlds, this world still exists. Obviously the history is still similar. Although James did not say it, the Olympic Games may also exist.

This also clarifies the reason why Tom said Jimmy should thank James. There is indeed no special conspiracy here. It is just a coincidence that he encountered James's little compassion. Multiple factors influenced Jimmy to reach this point.

.

Jimmy turned on his computer and started searching for information about Catholicism on the Internet. The most important thing was to get familiar with the Bible and the church. Although this time it was a simplified version of Holy Baptism, it was also Holy Baptism. From then on, he was a nominal Catholic believer.

If you don’t know any knowledge about the church or the content of the Bible, then you will probably be deprived of your name.

After searching for some content, Jimmy decided to go out and go to the bookstore to buy a Bible and read it slowly at home. The main reason is that there are too many things related to religion. If you just read the information online, you will most likely jump into the trap.

, it’s better to read a book.

When Jimmy arrived at the bookstore, his eyes were opened. This bookstore is not very big, and the bookshelves inside are full of books of various colors arranged in an orderly manner.

Although he had not been to a bookstore a few times in his previous life, he probably knew that the books sold in the bookstore were of all kinds. However, the bookstore he came to only had a variety of Bibles and religious books (covered by the Christian Life label).

This category) accounts for nearly half of the shelves.

Jimmy had a headache just looking at these various versions of the Bible. Finally, he could only buy an English version of the Catholic Bible and a palm-sized portable version on the recommendation of the store clerk.

Jimmy now has an additional task in his life. He needs to become familiar with the contents of the Bible as soon as possible. He does not need to memorize it, but at least he must know what is in it.

After a peaceful period of time, the police station provided Jimmy with a right that Jimmy did not want. His police car and vehicle equipment could be driven home after get off work. The reason was that it was convenient for Jimmy to support others in emergencies. It is not necessary to return to the police station and start again.

Jimmy really hopes to have enough personal time after get off work, but now it suddenly breaks down. He wears a police uniform and drives a police car when commuting to and from work, carrying all the equipment with him. The only advantage may be a salary increase, because Jimmy's support is almost around the clock. Salaries increased significantly.

Jimmy only has a parking space, and his Mercury Tracker is still parked there. What will he do with his car when the police car comes? Jimmy went directly to Amy and asked the police station to reimburse the cost of renting another parking space, and then did nothing.

It was unexpectedly thrown out.

Jimmy gritted his teeth and parked his car in the parking lot of the police station. He would use the police car as a private car from now on, which would save gas money.

When he got off work, Jimmy drove the police car directly back to the apartment and talked with the parking attendant before changing the license plate registration.

Wearing a police uniform, he entered the apartment and caused a bit of a commotion. In this kind of apartment building, people inside actually do all sorts of things. A policeman lives next to it. It’s okay if he didn’t notice it before. He just came back in a police uniform and still

With a full set of equipment and two guns, Jimmy could already guess that some residents might consider changing places in the near future.

It's not that Jimmy doesn't know that there are violations nearby, but there are too many such things in the United States, and he can't handle them. It's time for him to go home after get off work, so how can he be in the mood to take care of it?

Now it's a problem. If he wears a police uniform on his way to and from get off work and happens to encounter a violation of the regulations, he will be disgraced on both sides if he doesn't care.

Jimmy wants to change places more and more. When he has enough funds, he will buy a house as soon as possible.

At 10:30 in the evening, Jimmy's phone rang. He had returned from driving a police car on his first day and was about to work overtime.

The dispatch center directly dialed Jimmy's mobile phone. A random shooting occurred in the South District of Little Rock. The LRPD Southern District police officers are currently blocking the 3-kilometer neighborhood around the incident. LRPD requests police officers from nearby Southern District to go to the scene for support. By the way,

The apartment Jimmy is renting is located in the south of the city, and the county police headquarters is in the middle of the city.

Jimmy really doesn't like this kind of case, because the county police and LRPD use the same dispatch center, so the number of cross-department support is really high. If it is a designated location support, it is simpler, most of them need to be moved.

A small part of the force is used as backup support. If no accident occurs, it is equivalent to driving over and taking a rest.

Today's random shootings on the streets basically involve searching for suspects in an area, which is time-consuming and prone to accidents.

Now that the dispatch center had notified him, Jimmy had no choice but to change from his home clothes into a police uniform, took his equipment to the parking lot, and drove to the South District.

There are a lot of random shootings on the streets of the United States. Some are people who are drunk or taking drugs, some are showing off their guns and then go off, some are retaliating against society, and some are just really bad-minded and just looking for excitement.

Usually the cases reported by the public have serious consequences such as the death or disability of the victim, but in fact, more random shooting cases are just the suspects driving on the road and shooting at random people on the roadside, and then running away, and the victims also

They were all ordinary gunshot wounds, not life-threatening. Even in many shooting cases, there were no victims. They were just frightened. Because the criminals were not good at shooting, they hit the ground or the wall, so they only called the police but did not spread the word widely.

.

The case in the Southern District this time was this kind of random shooting case on the street. According to the description of the caller, it was definitely a black or gray Ford Mustang muscle car. Because of the lack of light, it was impossible to determine the color of the car, but the model could be determined.

This was also the only clue. There were no victims this time. The co-pilot of the Mustang shot at the interface. No one was injured and they were all shot away.

LRPD police officers have started to block the streets 3 kilometers outside, hoping to find the car in the blockade area. However, due to the insufficient number of traffic cameras in the suburbs of the Southern District, the vehicle cannot be confirmed in large areas in the middle.

direction of travel.

Jimmy drove the police car into the blockade area and started searching in circles along the neighborhood road. After searching for several blocks, the target Ford Mustang was not found. Jimmy contacted the dispatch center through the radio and asked to continue to expand the area to investigate the traffic surveillance. From the caller's notification to the police

The police began to cordon off the area. If we drove faster, we could indeed escape. 3 kilometers is not a particularly far distance.

Other police cars also searched the area. Only Jimmy's search took more than 20 minutes. Other police officers who arrived earlier had searched the neighborhoods within 3 kilometers several times, but nothing was found.

In the end, LRPD had no choice but to give up and all officers returned to their positions to continue on duty.

This is really helpless. Road traffic monitoring has been around for many years, but the United States has never covered every intersection. Some reasons are cost issues, but the biggest problem is the so-called political correctness. In order to protect the so-called privacy

, every time there is an application for installation, there will always be various people who block it for various reasons.

The problem with the development of technology is that there are not enough private cameras and mobile phone cameras. Cases like this that happen on the highway are fleeting. In many cases, even if there are witnesses, the characteristics of the criminals may not be clearly described. Random shooting cases are difficult to

A considerable part of the failure is due to these reasons.

Jimmy also stopped searching and drove the police car back to the apartment. Jimmy was still observing other cars on the way. If he could find the target, it would be an unexpected gain. Although Jimmy had no law enforcement power, it would be good to solve the case and catch the suspect.

However, Jimmy's luck is no longer as good as before. There was no black or gray Mustang all the way home.
