North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 217 The hand is too fast

Taryn Van Decent, a tall brown-haired beauty, was the gallery buyer contacted by Peter. She came to the FBI office to meet with Peter and the others to discuss how to lure Gerald out.

After looking at several of Peter's team members, Talin shook his head. These people didn't look like rich people.

In the end, I could only choose Jimmy. He has a tender face and is of Chinese descent. Just think of him as a wealthy kid who just came to the United States. It makes sense to buy oil paintings. It is not a shame to improve your taste.

However, the biggest problem is that Jimmy has never pretended to be rich. He wears a cheap suit. Although he is not too shabby among FBI agents, as a rich man, he is completely unqualified.

Peter took Jimmy to the FBI's evidence warehouse, where there were various items seized by the FBI. Here he received a piece of green water ghost. Then, if Jimmy wanted to find a way to get a set of higher-end clothes, he also needed to go to a hair salon to get them done.

Try to style it and try to save his usually unkempt hair.

You can find accessories at the evidence warehouse, but you can't find clothes. Fortunately, this is New York, and you can get a lot of things if you have connections. Finally, I got a suit that fits me from a clothing rental company.

The usual business of this kind of rental company is actually to rent dresses for lesser-known starlets or actors to participate in important events. After all, not every starlet or actor has enough funds to buy luxury goods and big-name clothing.

Especially when they are definitely not willing to wear the same clothes all the time when attending important events.

After the trouble, Jimmy looked brand new. At least from the appearance point of view, Jimmy was no longer so shabby. With his strong body and young face, it was no problem at all to say that he was a rich second generation.

Early the next morning, Peter took them to the Lambert Gallery. FBI intelligence agents installed several cameras and bugs in the gallery. Of course, this was done with the gallery's permission.

Peter, Jones, and Diana were preparing equipment such as monitors in a room in the gallery, and they were also waiting here. Once Jimmy confirmed that the painting was real, they would rush over to arrest him.

Jimmy followed Talin into the gallery. The box Jimmy was carrying was the $100,000 in cash prepared by the FBI. It was not a brand new banknote, but something taken from the evidence room. After they sorted it out, they neatly stacked it in the box.

inside.

US$100,000 is actually a lot. For many people, it is their entire income for two years, and the temptation is very strong.

Of course, for Jimmy, he would not do anything just for this box of money. The income he gets from his company is hundreds of thousands a year. If he is lucky in the future, the police light series will be sold all over the country.

If it is spread out, Jimmy's income will be even greater.

Everything was ready, Jimmy was waiting in the warehouse behind the gallery, and Taryn returned to the gallery, waiting for Gerald's arrival.

Gerald brought Joshua over, with Gerald in front and Joshua behind with a black bag. Tarin welcomed them to the warehouse behind the gallery to meet Jimmy.

Tallinn: "What I said on the phone is that this is Mr. Yang Liansheng. He has just arrived in New York from his home country."

Jimmy: "Call me George."

Gerald looked at Jimmy and nodded, and Joshua put the bag on the table in the warehouse.

Jimmy took a pair of gloves from the side and put them on, opened the bag, and took out the picture frame inside, which was 30X20cm in size. The picture inside was actually not that big.

Jimmy: "Looks a lot smaller than I thought."

Gerald: "Have you seen the Mona Lisa? It's super small. Can I see the money?"

Jimmy nodded to Tarin, who opened the box on the table. This was the money Jimmy had brought.

Gerald didn't get started, he just took a look and saw that most of them were in small amounts of 20 US dollars, and the amounts were pretty much the same.

Talin reached out and took the oil painting: "I need to identify it. Please turn off the light."

Gerald turned his head and glanced at the door at the back, walked over to close it, and found that someone outside the gallery had been looking at the gallery door.

He moved a little slower, closed the door and turned to look at Jimmy and Tarin, "Can we hurry up?"

Tallin picked up a fluorescent light and shined it on the painting: "Cadmium green and lime blue can be seen under the fluorescent light, which proves that the painting was colored before 1960..."

Before Tarin could finish speaking, Gerald pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Jimmy. Joshua, who was traveling with him, also pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Tarin.

Gerrard: "Can anyone explain to me why there are so many suspicious people outside?"

Peter, who was monitoring the situation in the next room, began to become nervous when he saw the unexpected situation here.

Jones: "Do we need to act now?"

Peter: "Don't move yet, we can't take this risk."

Gerald was still asking Jimmy and the others, "Who are the people outside?"

Jimmy looked at Gerald: "I just came to the United States. I just want to buy a painting. How do I know what's going on outside?"

Gerald moved the pistol and pointed it at Talin, "Say."

Taryn hid behind Jimmy, shouting "I don't know"

Gerald moved to the side and stood with Joshua, "Something is wrong, time is running out, let's go, this money will be my compensation."

Gerald picked up Jimmy's box, while Joshua picked up the painting. Before putting it in the bag, he turned and ran towards the back exit.

When Jimmy saw Joshua turn around, he pulled out the revolver from his armpit and emptied 6 bullets directly at Joshua and Gerrard. "What I hate most is people pointing a gun at my head. F**K!"

Jimmy muttered something under his breath, then shouted, "Don't move, FBI."

Well, actually it was just a show and a process. For Jimmy, now that the bomb nest has been emptied, the two of them will definitely not be able to survive. Jimmy is too familiar with the power of .357 Magnum, even though they are both shot

on the back, but each person received one hair on the left chest.

When Jimmy fired, Peter and the others had already come out of the room, but they were still a step slower. By the time they arrived, Jimmy had already changed bullets and walked to the two of them, kicking away the two pistols on the ground.

The painting in Joshua's hand fell to the ground. Fortunately, it had the frame, so it might be a little damaged, but this was an accident. I hope they don't care about it for the sake of recovering the oil painting.

This was what Peter and the others saw when they came over. Jimmy held a gun in his right hand and picked up the oil painting from the ground with his left hand. Two people were lying on the ground, and blood was already flowing on the ground.

Peter: "ShXt! Jones, call an ambulance!" Peter stared at Jimmy with wide eyes, "I need an explanation."

Jimmy put the revolver back into the holster under his arm and put the painting on the table: "Sorry, reflex, my hand was too fast and I didn't react."

One more update to solve this case, you can’t say I am out of context anymore.
