North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 227 Reverse Tracking

The information Diana obtained from the NYPD was meaningless. The dead gunman was not a gang member. The information showed that he had served in the National Guard. After retiring, he worked as a security guard for a period of time. He has been unemployed since then. There are no clues to connect it.

.

Now the NYPD has dispatched people to investigate the shooter's family and residence. I hope there will be other results. Diana can only wait for news from the NYPD.

From the shooter's side, it seems that it will be difficult to find clues in the short term. Now they can only wait for Jones, but until after get off work, there is no news from Jones.

Peter was getting ready to get off work, and Jimmy decided to take a ride.

Jimmy: "Peter, can you take me with you? I don't want to walk back."

Peter nodded and the two of them went downstairs together. Jimmy got into Peter's car and said to Peter: "Peter, this case may be a little dangerous. Should we ask Ruiz and the others to bring someone over?"

Peter shook his head: "No need, our target is those works of art, let them handle the investigation of the killer and Nathan Bird, there is no need for us to participate in that part."

Jimmy: "What happened today makes me a little worried about security issues. The underground agent was shot dead just for trying to leak information. The suspect this time was too brutal."

Peter: "Are you scared?"

Jimmy: "I'm afraid? I'm not afraid. On the contrary, I'm looking forward to meeting them. What I'm worried about is you. If such a hidden enemy really wants to launch a secret attack, no one can escape."

Peter: "What we do is what they are targeting. Just get used to it."

Jimmy: "Then don't forget your body armor. It's not easy to get it in the trunk."

Peter: "Don't worry. We've arrived."

Jimmy got out of the car and went back to the apartment, and Peter also drove back home.

After parking the car, Peter came to the door, thought for a while, then returned to the back of the car, opened the trunk, took a body armor and took it back to the house.

Elizabeth: "Peter? Why are you holding a body armor?"

Peter kissed Elizabeth on the cheek, and then said: "Just keep one at home for later use, don't worry."

Elizabeth didn't say anything. She would not interfere in Peter's work. The couple had been married for many years and had always been in love with each other. She would not point fingers at Peter's work, so Peter brought a bulletproof vest just to ask.

Elizabeth: "How's that new guy of yours?"

Peter: "You mean Jimmy? He's okay, but he just arrived at the FBI and hasn't fully adapted yet."

Elizabeth: "Well, if you have time, you can ask him to come to our home as a guest. Last time I was a guest at his place, we reciprocated with courtesy, so we should also invite him to our home."

Peter: "Well, there have been a lot of cases recently. I'll remember it when I have a little more time later."

Peter took off his equipment and came to sit with Elizabeth on the sofa, watching TV and chatting.

Jimmy ordered pizza delivery and did not go out. The gunman today made Jimmy a little worried. Did anyone else see them when they were communicating with the underground agent? If the mastermind behind the scenes also knew about Jimmy and Peter, then it is very likely

There will be other dangers, such as stalking and shooting.

Try not to go out if you can. Although Jimmy is not afraid of being followed, he should not cause trouble if he can. Peter did not even arrange for psychological intervention when he killed the gunman today. It is estimated that Peter was also very frightened. Maybe it was

Forget it, if you cause trouble again and let him think about it again, you will be looking for trouble for yourself.

Early the next morning, Jimmy woke up and found a text message on his phone. Jones did not go home to rest yesterday and worked overtime to complete the road surveillance, informing them to come to the station for discussion in the morning.

When Jimmy arrived at the Federal Plaza office, Jones was already in the conference room, but he was still sleeping on a folding bed, wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

Jimmy didn't wake Jones up before the others arrived. It was obvious that he worked late yesterday.

Peter and the others also arrived. Jimmy went to the conference room to wake up Jones first. Jimmy packed up the folding bed, while Jones went to the bathroom to wash his face and wake up. Then he returned to the conference room and started playing the road surveillance video.

Jones: "I started checking from the Williamsburg Bridge yesterday. This car first appeared in the surveillance video yesterday morning next to Central Park. There was no record before. Then the day before yesterday, the path that this car passed the day before yesterday was compared.

Many, from Brooklyn to Queens to the Upper East Side, and finally to Manhattan, disappearing near Central Park.

Judging from the surveillance records of the past two days, he should have lived near Central Park for one night, but there is no way to confirm it at the moment."

Peter: "Diane, has the NYPD reported back the information about yesterday's shooter?"

Diana: "Not yet, I will contact you later to confirm."

Peter: "Jones, go back and rest in the morning. In the afternoon you and Diana will go to Central Park to investigate and see where the car was parked the night before."

Jones: "No need to rest, it's okay, I can leave right away."

Peter: "No, this time is different from before. You must have a good rest and pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times during the investigation. You can go later, but you must have a good rest. Go back, Diana will find you in the afternoon. Diane."

Diana: "No problem."

Peter: "OK, Jimmy, you come with me to the Metropolitan Museum. The meeting is over."

Jimmy returned to his seat, picked up his suit and went out with Peter, "Peter, why do you still need to go to the museum?"

Peter: "I made an appointment with Dr. Chas last night to help look at those two sketches to determine the era and style."

Jimmy: "Um, is this necessary? Can you identify it just by sketching it without the actual object?"

Peter: "Of course, Dr. Chas studies cultural relics from the Middle East and Africa. If he can determine the location of these cultural relics, we can also clarify the origin of Nathan Bird's batch of cultural relics, which will facilitate subsequent tracing."

Peter drove Jimmy to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This time Jimmy was even worse. Peter took Jimmy into the museum office area. Jimmy didn't even see Dr. Chas. He could only sit in the rest area and drink coffee, because Dr. Chas was there.

Only Peter can enter the laboratory alone.

Ten minutes later, Peter came out and took Jimmy away, "It's basically confirmed that the small goat-headed statue is in the style of the Hittite dynasty of Iraq, Arabian Peninsula, about 1800 years ago.

According to the current information, if it appeared at Nathan Byrd's house three years ago, it seems that someone discovered new historical relics and excavated cultural relics in Iraq, and the protection of traditional cultural relics there has never been very good."

Jimmy: "What's next?"

Peter: "I will contact several major museums and ask them to notify us if anyone sells artifacts from the Arabian Peninsula. The next step is to wait for the results of Jones."
