North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 179 Prison Riot

After the matter was settled, Jimmy and Paul had a day's rest. They returned to the hotel, changed out of their police uniforms, put on civilian clothes and went out separately.

Jimmy’s goal is the Walk of Fame. Frankly speaking, for someone like Jimmy, it’s his first time coming to Los Angeles and being in Hollywood. If he doesn’t go and see the iconic Walk of Fame, he would really feel sorry for himself.

, Jimmy regretted it.

In Jimmy's impression, Hollywood and the Avenue of Stars were the names that he heard from Cocoon in his previous life. He always thought that this place was very prosperous and beautiful. But when he actually arrived at the Avenue of Stars, all he saw were rows of rows of inlays on the ground.

There are quite a few tourists visiting the stars and low-rise houses around it, but most of them are photo enthusiasts, and Jimmy came empty-handed.

Because Arkansas CCW is not recognized in California, and as an Arkansas police officer, he has no law enforcement rights in California, so when Jimmy changed clothes and went out, the gun was also left in the hotel.

Jimmy just went out with his mobile phone and wallet, bought ice cream from a roadside cold drink shop and ate it while shopping around the roadside. Apart from some souvenir shops that you can check out, there wasn't much else to see.

It's just that Jimmy couldn't stand it when he saw a strange door. The Chinese Theater is the place where premieres of various new movies are often held. Well, this thing is called the Chinese Theater. I don't know who is stupid.

Given the name, the two lions represent China? The two abstract dragon heads on the pillars, there is nothing to say, the designer should just take them to the shooting range and shoot them for 5 minutes.

Jimmy has no interest in going to Hollywood Studios. He has not been in this world for a long time. He has not had the experience of being brainwashed by Hollywood movies for 20 or 30 years in his previous life. What does he think of the characters in Hollywood Studios now?

I have no special hobbies.

Jimmy walked around in a circle. He was so bored that his balls ached. Besides, the security here in Hollywood was really problematic. Although there was no case in front of him, the sound of police sirens that he heard next to his ears did not stop for long, and there was even a moment.

I have the illusion that police cars are honking all the time here, and I don’t know how many cases they can handle and how many people they can arrest in a day.

Jimmy got on the tour bus and walked aimlessly towards the next stop. He didn't even notice where the next stop was. When he got off the bus, he realized that he had arrived at the legendary Beverly Hills.

Well, it’s a great place. Just looking at the people drinking coffee in the coffee shop and the passers-by on the roadside, this is indeed a place for rich people. You can distinguish tourists from locals just by looking at their clothes. Jimmy is dressed cheaply.

Casual clothes here are of the shabby kind.

Jimmy bought a cup of coffee at a street coffee shop and took it for a walk on the road. He noticed that there were many beautiful women and the store clerks in the shops next to him were of a higher quality than the girls he usually saw.

So a Chinese street kid who was not sleazy but was carefree was born. Jimmy also had enough leisure. He wandered for two streets while looking at beautiful women, and then found a steak restaurant to eat. The taste was good, but the price was more painful.

, but Jimmy is now considered relatively wealthy, and the price of a one-Michelin-starred restaurant is still acceptable.

In the afternoon, Jimmy continued to walk around and took a look at the residential area of ​​Beverly Hills. Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far and walking was not practical. Jimmy just looked at it from a distance and then found a designated taxi spot on the roadside to wait for the taxi.

Returning to the hotel to rest, Jimmy had to do some errands, so Jimmy was very honest. Not to mention going out for fun, he didn't even touch a beer.

Early the next morning, Jimmy and Paul arrived at the West Hollywood Police Station. Superintendent Robert arranged for a police officer, Matthew, to take them to the Los Angeles County Prison for personnel handover.

The Los Angeles County Prison is one of the largest prisons in the United States. Overcrowding is not enough to describe the situation here. After private prisons began to develop, a large number of misdemeanor criminals were transferred to private prisons. The vast majority of those serving their sentences in county prisons

Some of them are criminals with relatively long sentences, and others, like Dick Diaz, are prisoners who need to be held temporarily without trial.

Jimmy and Paul arrived outside the prison gate. LAPD officer Matthew checked the information with the prison guard inside, and the prison guard opened the door and let them in.

The exterior of the Los Angeles County Prison has a rather peculiar shape. The passage between the gate and the main body of the prison is a passage blocked by a double-layer barbed wire. The width between the double-layered barbed wire should be 4-5 meters, and a steel pipe guardrail is used to separate it.

There are two prisoner activity areas on both sides of the passage.

Now it was time to relax. Jimmy and the others were walking in the passage. The prisoners on both sides were watching them from behind the barbed wire. Of course, their mouths were definitely dirty.

Arriving in front of the main prison building, a prison guard said: "Welcome to the Los Angeles County Prison. Please hand over your duty belt, communication equipment and spare weapons. The equipment will be kept properly in the locker and will be returned to you when you go out."

you."

Jimmy and Paul began to take off their duty belts, as did LAPD officer Matthew. This was not discriminating against them, it was just a rule. Within the prison, except for prison guards, other personnel were unarmed.

"Follow me." The prison guard put the equipment of the three people in different baskets, stacked them together and sent them to the storage room next to the door, and then led them into the prison building.

Jimmy and Paul were taken to an interrogation room. Dick Dias was already inside. He sat across from a table with handcuffs on his hands. The handcuffs were connected to a buckle on the table. A prison guard

The superintendent stood beside him.

The LAPD officer picked up the document, signed it, and handed it to the prison superintendent. The prison police superintendent took the document and left the interrogation room to go through the formalities, while Jimmy and the others continued to wait here.

After waiting for a few minutes, the prison superintendent came over with the prisoner transfer documents and asked Jimmy and Paul to sign. At this moment, the public address system was turned on and two short alarms sounded.

Jimmy: "Superintendent, with this prompting sound, something must have happened."

The prison superintendent raised his head and glanced at the loudspeaker in the corner, and said to them: "Two alarm calls means there is a prisoner riot. Maybe they are just fighting. You guys wait here for a while, I will go out and take a look."

Jimmy: "OK."

LAPD Officer Matthew: “Do you need help?”

Prison Superintendent: "NO, I'll go out and take a look first."

The superintendent left the interrogation room. Jimmy and Paul looked at each other, feeling a little helpless and could only wait here.

Before 5 minutes had passed, the alarm began to sound continuously. Jimmy was not familiar with the alarm prompt, but Paul was a county bailiff, and he had received training on prison-related knowledge, because the county correctional center also followed

According to the prison rules, they occasionally need to go there to provide support.

Paul: "Jimmy, something happened. It should be that the prisoner broke through the cell area. If the alarm prompt here is the same as ours over there."

Jimmy directly said to LAPD officer Matthew: "Matthew, are you familiar with this place? Find someone to check what's going on. We have no law enforcement authority and no weapons."

Matthew: "I haven't been here either. I'll go out and have a look."

Matthew opened the door, stretched his head and looked outside on both sides, and then walked out. Jimmy and Paul could not move. This was the Los Angeles County Jail. They came across the state and had no ability to enforce the law.

2 minutes later, LAPD Matthew returned.

Matthew: "Jimmy, Paul, we have to evacuate. The cell in Area B was breached. A prison guard was arrested. They got the key to the cell."

Jimmy: "Are we here yet?"

Matthew: "Not yet. The prison guard's key in Area B can only open the inner door and cannot reach us yet. The prison guards are now controlling the situation, but the danger is still there."

Jimmy: "No, we haven't finished the process yet. If we start now, how will we deal with it later? If the process is not correct, there may be problems with Dick Diaz's trial."

Matthew: "I didn't see the prison guard and superintendent just now, and I don't know where he is now. I can't continue now."

Jimmy shook his head: "Since there is no danger of being breached here for the time being, it's best to wait for a while. Can you communicate with the prison again and see if you can let us get the equipment back first?"

Seeing that Jimmy did not agree to evacuate, Matthew could only nod his head and said, "I'll communicate with them again."

Matthew left the interrogation room. Jimmy asked Paul to look at Dick Dias. He came to the door of the interrogation room and went out to look at both ends of the corridor. No one had passed through here because he didn't know the structure of the prison. Jimmy couldn't do anything about it now.

Confirm retreat.

The range of observation of the mind's eye is limited. They walked from the door of the building to here, and the distance they passed was quite far. Now they cannot observe the situation at the door of the building.

Because the situation was unclear, Jimmy kept his mind open and observed the surrounding passages. Not long after, a man ran over from the passage on one side. Jimmy was tense all over. If he was a prisoner, he had to protect himself.

Fortunately, the prison police superintendent from before appeared. He ran to the interrogation room and shouted directly to Jimmy: "The handover is suspended. You two follow me first, and we leave the building."

Dick Dias was still handcuffed and locked on the table. There was no problem for the time being. Jimmy picked up the handover slip on the table and followed Paul and the prison guard superintendent out of the interrogation room, heading back to the building along the way they came.

door.

At the door locker, the superintendent placed the basket containing their equipment on the table, and Jimmy and Paul began to arm themselves.

While putting on the equipment, Jimmy asked the superintendent: "Where is Matthew from the LAPD? He just left the interrogation room to find you."

Prison guard superintendent: "I didn't see it. I want to go in and take a look. Don't leave yet. Guard at the door. The prison door cannot be opened now."

Jimmy nodded. He had a weapon and there should be no danger guarding the gate.
