North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 145 Strange Painting

Jimmy looked at Justin. This handsome middle-aged white guy seemed to have two horns suddenly growing on his head.

Jimmy: "Profiteer, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Justin: "You weren't here with me at that time. How could I tell you that I couldn't quote you over the phone? That would hurt my feelings."

Jimmy: "Now you say it hurts my feelings even more. We have such a good relationship, you hurt my heart so much."

Justin: "If you are sad, you can go home and recuperate slowly, but you still have to pay the money you have to pay. One code equals one code."

Jimmy took a sip of wine speechlessly and whispered: "No more, I used it all this time."

Justin was surprised. Jimmy's gold coins all came from his side. He knew exactly how much 5 gold coins could do.

Justin: "What? What did you do that required 5 gold coins?" Justin approached Jimmy and asked in a low voice: "How many people were killed? Otherwise, you wouldn't have used so many gold coins."

Jimmy also whispered: "Two, but I used two to buy information and one to borrow the safe house."

Justin straightened up: "You were ripped off, I'm sure of it." Justin shook his head, looked at Jimmy, and suddenly laughed.

Jimmy rolled his eyes and said, "This is my first time going out to do errands, and I don't know their rules. Justin, tell me, so as not to cause problems next time."

Justin: "Two dinners, one from the safe house is fine, this one is fine. There may be something wrong with the two intelligence pieces. If you weren't ripped off, then I can only speculate that there may have been something unexpected in the middle, otherwise...

Enough."

Jimmy: "Well, the information was very detailed. They later discovered new situations and asked me to update the information."

Justin: "That's no problem, I think I know who the informant she provided you is. You're really lucky."

Jimmy: "Can you tell me? The identity of that person."

Justin: "No, this is a secret. I also found out by chance."

Jimmy: "Well, you have so many secrets. The guests will be here soon. Give me another drink."

Jimmy and Justin were chatting. In fact, there were already sporadic guests, but the bartender guided them to the other side of the bar, leaving space for Justin and Jimmy to chat.

Justin turned around and continued working. As for the coin, he didn't mention it again.

Justin has no interest in blackmailing Jimmy, a poor guy.

Jimmy was also depressed. He had just finished something, and even though he was bleeding heavily, it was quite a happy thing. But when Justin made such a fuss, he no longer felt happy at all.

The next day, Jimmy went directly to the police station to cancel his leave. Now that the matter was settled, it was time to go to work peacefully. At the same time, it was almost time for the final exam, and Jimmy just used this time to review.

Fishing during work hours is really fun. James also feels good about Jimmy's progressive performance. Although it seems that he is fishing, Jimmy's business ability is too strong. If he can't let him go, he might as well not let him go.

If something happens again, his heart may not be able to bear it.

A week later, Jimmy received a call from Jerry. Mary had called him and told him that she had returned home safely and hoped that Jerry could find her.

Jerry couldn't go there on his own, and he couldn't see Mary as a homeless man. He had to find a way to find Jimmy and send him to Memphis.

Jimmy didn't care. When he was off duty, Jimmy took Jerry to buy clothes, cut his hair short, trimmed his beard, and took a shower in Jimmy's apartment. Jerry looked very normal.

A thin but handsome man.

The only dazzling thing is his hair. Jerry is not that old, only about 50 years old, but his hair has turned quite a bit gray. Combined with the wrinkles on his face, he looks more like 60 years old.

Jimmy drove Jerry back to Memphis Oakville. Jerry kept talking to Jimmy about Mary's childhood and urged Jimmy to drive faster, leaving Jimmy speechless.

Mary was already waiting by the roadside in advance, and when she saw Jimmy's blue Mercury, she waved her arms excitedly.

Before the car stopped on the roadside, Jerry opened the passenger door and ran towards Mary. Jimmy got out of the car and stood at the front of the car watching the father and daughter hugging each other excitedly.

The scene in front of him made Jimmy very emotional. He was able to repay Jerry's original favor, although the cost was a bit higher.

When the excitement between Jerry and Mary calmed down a bit, Jimmy walked over to them and hugged them goodbye. Jerry did not go back with Jimmy. He would live here with Mary and bid farewell to the life of a homeless man.

Jimmy has one more thing to do this time. He has to go to the warehouse and take some boxes back to Little Rock. This was his biggest gain last time. He can't keep them in the warehouse to gather dust.

When Jimmy passed by the hardware store, he bought a small hand-held cutting machine with its own battery.

Jimmy took out a few briefcases from the warehouse, drove to a deserted place outdoors, and cut the briefcases directly along the edges. It was too troublesome to crack the password. For Jimmy, this brute force cracking was more effective.

Several briefcases were opened, and Jimmy was also disappointed. These briefcases were probably prepared by the gang boss for his escape. There were several different passports with his photos in them, which were packed in different boxes. They were not needed when needed.

After sorting it out, just take the box and get on the plane.

Apart from a little more money, nothing else was of any use to Jimmy.

Jimmy found some dead branches from the side, dug a hole in the ground, poured all the other things in the box into it, and burned it. As for the body of the box that had been cut open, if there was a large trash can later, he would just

Just scatter them and throw them in. No one will care about damaged boxes without any special markings.

After that, Jimmy made two more trips to Memphis and finally cleaned up the warehouse. He kept those suitcases, but there was no need to keep the clothes inside. Jimmy packed them up and threw them near the homeless camp. They would help him clean them thoroughly.

Clean, leaving absolutely no traces.

For Jimmy, this period of time should be considered busy. He goes to work, provides support, studies, and occasionally does private work. His life is very fulfilling. By the time everything is settled, it will be June.

On this day, Jimmy received a letter at the front desk of the police station. Jimmy returned to his work station and opened the envelope. Inside were two pieces of A4 paper with two paintings on them.

The first painting shows a man holding a gun in his left hand, pointing upwards diagonally. There is something in front of him, but there is no other content.

The second painting shows a man lying with his arms outstretched, seemingly floating in the air, with two pistols underneath.

It's a strange painting. If you look at two paintings in a row, the first one is about fighting against something, while the second one is about death. The painting is drawn with pencil, there is no signature, and there is no other text in the letter.

Jimmy picked up the envelope again. There was no return address on it, but there was a postmark from Texas.

In Texas, Jimmy can only think of three people, Thorsten, Jerry Mikulek, and Roland. The only one who can mail paintings is probably Roland, but Roland? When he left last time, he made it clear that he would not let them.

I went back to find him, how could he mail such a letter to me.

These two pictures must have some special meaning, but Jimmy couldn't tell. Jimmy tried hard to recall the process of meeting Roland for the first time, because more than half a year had passed and Jimmy's memory was a bit blurry.

Suddenly Jimmy remembered a detail. Roland said that he used to rely on Chambers's paintings to find doors to other worlds. Chambers' ability is similar to precognition, and he can show pictures through paintings. But Chambers

Si had left many years ago and was no longer with Roland, so why did two paintings appear again? Could it be that Chambers has returned to Roland?
