North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 154 The Disappearing Victim

A group of people looked a little confused. They entered the forest from the side of the house. They followed the K9 around inside, but did not find the victim. Instead, they left the forest from behind the house.

The K9 police officer pulled the K9 to identify the blood again, and then entered the forest again. Half an hour later, they came out of the forest again and still came to the back of the house. If the K9 had not made a mistake, then it is very likely that the injured person was indeed

We came back here, but no victim was found at the scene.

The police officers began to search around here, but there were no special marks. Except for the tire marks of a pickup truck at the door, no other tire marks were found. In other words, the victim probably did not leave in a car.

Jimmy followed suit. He had scanned the house with his mind and found no one lurking nearby. There was no hidden space such as the basement. So how did the injured man leave?

The police officer contacted the dispatch center to check whether the surrounding hospitals had admitted any patients with stab wounds. After waiting for a long time, the dispatch center responded that none of the registered clinics and hospitals had received stab wounds.

After more than 2 hours of investigation, it could only be recorded as an unsolved case. Except for the police from the North Division who also needed to visit the neighbors far away to investigate, the other police officers returned to their respective positions one after another, and Jimmy also returned to the police.

Headquarters.

Today's disappearance case is a bit weird. They walked around in the forest and returned to the house. If there was a problem with the K9, then the victim must have taken this route, but he disappeared. If he was killed, then the body

Where did he go? If he was not killed, and the surrounding hospitals and clinics did not accept such patients, it would be impossible not to treat the stab wound.

After Jimmy returned to the police station, he kept thinking about the case and drew the surrounding route map on paper as well as the route they were looking for in the woods. Although the route in his memory may not be very clear, it can still be seen.

After they entered the woods, they circled an irregular semicircle, and the key turning point was the location where the dagger was found on the tree.

K9 started to turn after finding the dagger, leaving the straight line when entering the forest and starting to make a turn. Could there be something that affected K9's judgment?

Jimmy was thinking big. This was the first time he had really come into contact with such a strange case. In the past, they were all normal security cases, cases that could be solved by mediating with the neighbors or shooting.

There was only one similar case to this one, which was the disappearance case in the beach. At that time, Kag asked him to give up the case and did not continue to pursue it. At that time, he also walked into the forest alone and later disappeared.

Really unable to figure it out, Jimmy could only call Karg again and ask if this situation had been seen outside the beach before.

Although Kag has now become a pure life person, living one day at a time, he has been in the police station for more than 20 years after all. It is definitely better to ask him questions directly than to think blindly here.

Kag recalled that there was no such weird case. Generally, if the victim was not found, the victim would usually be moved by means of transportation, but Jimmy and the others did not find any traces of transportation other than pickup trucks at the scene.

Jimmy could only put the case on hold. The case was now pending at the Northern District Bureau. He was only providing support. The follow-up questions basically had nothing to do with him and would not affect his assessment at all.

After waiting for a while, Jimmy clocked out of get off work, changed his clothes and drove his car out of the police station. He had made an appointment with Jon to go to his Wolf House restaurant. He hadn't been there for a long time and wanted to get together.

When Jimmy came to the Wolf House, he found two acquaintances who shouldn't be there. Jerry and Mary also came to Little Rock. However, instead of looking for Jimmy directly, they contacted Jon and made a reservation with him.

After the location, Jon will contact Jimmy and give him a surprise.

A group of people who hadn't seen each other for a long time spent the dinner time happily, celebrating Jerry's new life. Due to inheriting Kevin's inheritance, Mary is now a little girl with a small amount of assets. Although Jerry is still worried about bankruptcy

Record, but if you live with Mary, it won't be a problem at all, and you can be considered to have gained a new life.

Jerry now looks much more energetic than the homeless man before, and his formerly thin face has begun to show signs of gaining weight. Looking at the smile on Jerry's face, he must be very happy living with his daughter now.

Jimmy and the others were also very happy to see Jerry, but Jerry didn't tell Jon and the others what happened before, so the others regarded it as a celebration of Jerry's new life, rather than a special trip by Jerry to thank Jimmy.

At the end of the dinner, Jimmy's phone happened to ring. He took a look and saw that it was Director James calling him.

Jimmy said goodbye to the others and walked out of the restaurant to answer James' call.

James: "Jimmy, are you free now?"

Jimmy: "What's up, James?"

James: "Then you come to my house, now."

Jimmy: "Okay, James, I'll leave right away."

Jimmy has never been to James's home. Although he knows the address, because he usually has nothing to do, he basically meets him at the police station every day, and there is nothing that requires him to go to James' home to talk about it.

This time it was a little unusual. Jimmy drove to James' home while thinking about what was going on.

James's home is in a community by the Arkansas River. This is a high-end community. When Jimmy was thinking about buying a house before, he never considered it because it was a bit ridiculously expensive. Even if he had a part-time side job, he would still be away from here.

Buying a house is also a big step away.

After showing the community security guard his county police badge, Jimmy entered the community smoothly. This kind of high-end community is still very safe, and the security force is relatively strong. They usually check unfamiliar vehicles.

Jimmy parked the car on the side of the road and walked to James' door and knocked on the door. An old white woman opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Jimmy: "Good evening, you are Mrs. Baldwin. I am County Sheriff Jimmy Young, here to see Chief James Baldwin."

Mrs. Baldwin: "Oh, I know you, come in, James is waiting for you."

Jimmy followed Mrs. Baldwin in and came to James' study.

Mrs. Baldwin: "James, Jimmy is here, let's talk." Then she left the study.

James put down the newspaper in his hand, took off his glasses, and said to Jimmy: "Jimmy, sit down." James stood up, took out a black hard briefcase from the cabinet under the bookshelf next to him, turned around and put it on the table.

James: "Jimmy, here is a briefcase that Tom designated for you. His estate lawyer sent it over this afternoon."
