North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 228 The inexplicable gun battle

Peter took Jimmy back to Federation Square. There was no danger in the office, so Jimmy let himself go and started fishing. At this time, his task was to read the information. There was no case to intervene in, and it was entirely up to Peter to arrange it.

When it was almost time to get off work, Jimmy's fishing time was over, and Jones and Diana returned from outside.

Jimmy: "Jones, is there any good news?"

Jones showed Jimmy the bag in his hand, which contained four video tapes. "Well, I got a few surveillance videos. I need to process them."

At present, most surveillance equipment on the market still uses VCR tapes to record surveillance videos, which is very different from the computer hard drive storage method used later. Although there are more advanced computer hard drive storage, most surveillance systems

Not updated yet.

The FBI surveillance vehicle uses computer storage, which is very convenient for viewing and editing. This kind of tape recording is very troublesome. It needs to be transcribed to the computer first before quick editing can be done.

Jimmy has absolutely no foundation in videotape processing. This kind of course is a course for intelligence officers during the FBI academy training. Jimmy and other quasi-agents are not involved in this.

Looking at the time, Jimmy found that there was not much time left before getting off work. It was estimated that Jones would have to work overtime again today.

Peter: "Jones, is there any result?" Peter saw Jones and the others coming back and shouted out from the office.

Jones: "I've got the videotape. I'll process it and I may give you the results tomorrow."

Peter: "Well, try to work as little overtime as possible at night, so that you can be energetic enough to investigate the case tomorrow."

Jones: "I understand, don't worry."

Peter returned to the office. Jimmy looked at the situation and there was definitely no chance of getting the results today. He waited until get off work and left the office in a flash.

In Manhattan, there is no need to worry about having no place to kill time at night, but now is the wrong time. Jimmy is not in the mood to play, so he just found a gym to exercise, kill some energy, and go home to have a good sleep. As for practicing gun training, now

I have no conditions left, so I can only practice drawing and reloading the gun while being bored.

When I returned to the office the next day, Jones hadn't come yet. It seemed that he didn't work overtime for a long time yesterday.

It wasn't until after 10 o'clock that Jones entered the office. After Jones came in, he apologized to everyone, "Sorry, I'm late. Let's go to the conference room. It's been sorted out."

Arriving at the conference room, Jones connected to the projector and showed three photos.

Jones: "Yesterday, it was determined that three people had been in contact with the target. This is the information of the three people extracted from the surveillance.

No. 1, Jacob Hodgson, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, a former Marine. After retiring, he found a security job in New York. He had no job information after leaving his job 2 years ago.

After the target entered the hotel, he was the first to enter the hotel. According to the elevator surveillance video, he stayed in the target room for about 20 minutes and then left without taking any luggage or other items with him.

No. 2, Travis Norton, an Israeli who entered the country last year and has no employment record. He stayed in the target room for 12 minutes and left in the elevator without taking any luggage or other items with him.

No. 3, Carlisle Gayle, a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, has no employment record. He was in the target room for about 2 minutes. He brought a bag with him when he came and the bag was still in his hand when he left.

The surveillance outside the hotel can only see them walking left and right, and there is no more surveillance video. I need to call the intersection surveillance again to determine their route. If they leave in a car, there is nothing we can do unless we

It’s impossible to get all the surrounding surveillance cameras.”

Peter: "Tell me what you think."

Diana: "Jones and I had a discussion yesterday when we were investigating the video, and we suggested targeting Jacob Hodgson. There are two reasons. First, he had naval service experience. Nathan Burr, who was killed this time,

De also has military service experience, and he also opened a shooting club, so they are likely to have contact.

Second, there were two suspects involved in Nathan’s murder, and their proficiency in rope climbing and marksmanship required relevant training.”

Peter nodded: "Jones, go to the dispatch center and see if they passed the intersection on foot within the corresponding time range. This can also be considered a clue.

Diane, you and I will go to the scene and visit the surrounding stores to see if it is possible to view their surveillance videos.

Jimmy, you can drive behind us to provide support."

Jimmy shook his head: "I'll go investigate with you and let Diana provide support. It will be easier to handle emergencies."

Peter: "No, it's easier for Diane to communicate with them and follow my arrangements. Let's go."

Well, gender advantage. Although Diana is a black girl, good-looking girls are an advantage. Plus Peter, a white man who is about 40 years old and looks harmless, seems to be very low risk.

Peter drove Jimmy and Diana to set off. This time Jimmy was not the co-pilot. He could only sit in the back seat. Taking advantage of his free time, he rearranged the magazines and bullets on his body to avoid using them.

Something went wrong.

There are many museums near Central Park, as well as many stores and high-end hotels. Peter and his FBI credentials may not necessarily be able to handle these stores. They can only rely on their eloquence to communicate. If it were Jimmy, they would probably go to two.

He was so angry that he was about to pull out his gun.

Jimmy watched the two of them pick and choose which store to enter in the car. They were walking beside them, and Jimmy followed them in the car at a distance.

Because it would affect traffic, Jimmy had to pull over and give up the lane on the edge of the road. Even so, he still provoked a row of cars behind him to honk their horns. Fortunately, Jimmy was now thick-skinned. As long as no one was angry,

Lu just got out of the car and asked for trouble, and Jimmy didn't care.

After going to several stores in a row, I finally found a store where I could watch the surveillance. Why would Jimmy know? Because Peter and Diane had been in for 10 minutes and hadn't come out.

Jimmy has been keeping an eye on this jewelry store. It is still open normally and there is nothing abnormal about the flow of people in and out. It should be safe for Peter and two to go in. If there is an accident, these customers will not be abnormal at all.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, Peter and the others came out and went directly to the car. Jimmy got out of the car and Peter drove the car and continued to set off.

Jimmy: "Peter, is there any result?"

Diana: "Nothing was found. None of the three people passed by this store. Let's go to the other side and have a look."

Jimmy: "Understood. Is there any result from Jones' side?"

Diana: "I haven't received the call yet, please wait."

Peter drove to the other side of the hotel and repeated the previous operation, going to each store and asking if he could check the surveillance.

As soon as they entered the second house, Peter and the others came out and quickly came to the car. Jimmy got out of the car and gave up the driver's seat.

Peter got in the car and drove up the driveway and left, "Jones found it, go back to the station first."

conference room.

Jones: "I have found two people. The first is No. 1. You can see him walking from the hotel to the intersection and taking a taxi. I contacted the taxi company, confirmed the name of the taxi driver, and made an appointment with him.

Meet us downstairs, waiting for his call.

Then there is No. 3. He is riding a motorcycle and is wearing a helmet, but based on his clothes, we can probably confirm it is him. We need to adjust the license plate query information to confirm."

Peter nodded: "Thank you, Jones, you and Jimmy go to meet the taxi driver. Diane, you check the information about that motorcycle."

Jones and Jimmy left the conference room together and went directly downstairs, waiting for the taxi driver's call in the lobby. The appointment time had almost arrived.

Later, a taxi stopped next to the door. The driver got out of the car and went directly into the federal building. It seemed that the driver had no shady history. If he were a shady taxi driver, he would probably not come to this building.

Jones and Jimmy watched the man take out his phone, and then Jones' cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and signaled, and the driver came over.

Jones: "Hi, FBI Agent Jones."

Driver: "Good afternoon, what do you want from me?"

Jones took out a screenshot of the video and said, "Look at this guy. He took your taxi over there in Central Park two days ago."

The driver looked at the photo and thought for a while: "I probably have an impression, what's wrong?"

Jones: "I want to know where he got off."

Driver: "Well, I remember this guy. It was a big deal. The last location where he got off the bus was at a riverside warehouse in the Bronx."

Jones: "Wait a minute."

Jones directly found a map at the front desk, asked the driver to point to the location, then thanked the driver and let the driver leave.

Jones and Jimmy returned to the office and began to investigate the warehouse area the driver mentioned.

"Peter!" Jones shouted directly without getting up. Peter came out of the office, went downstairs and came to Jones' side.

Jones: "The location the driver mentioned has been determined. This is an old warehouse area, next to the Brown River in the Bronx. It's a bit far."

Peter: "You and Jimmy go to the scene to investigate, now."

Jones nodded: "Okay, we'll leave right away."

Jimmy got up and followed Jones downstairs, who drove to the Bronx.

The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs in New York. It's not that close to the northeast of Manhattan. If Jimmy and the others set out now, it would probably be almost dark when they get there. The main reason is that the traffic is really indescribable.

This is the first time Jimmy has left the vicinity of Manhattan in New York. Before that, he had only been to Little Russia in Brooklyn.

After leaving uptown Manhattan, I suddenly felt like I had entered another city. The environment suddenly changed drastically. There were more wealthy people in the uptown area, but here in the Bronx, it looked much worse.

On the way, Jones also gave Jimmy some popular science. The Bronx is relatively less safe. There are many gangs here, big and small. Jones couldn't tell how many there are. Moreover, many small gangs die out very quickly.

Over time, other gangs or new gangs will take over their positions.

It was almost dark and Jones finally arrived at the location. This was an old warehouse area. The tall warehouses were scattered in an orderly manner. The walls looked old and there were a lot of graffiti on them.

The taxi driver also parked outside the warehouse area, so he was not sure where the people getting off the car were going. Jones parked the car far away and walked over with Jimmy.

Both Jones and Jimmy were wearing black suits, one was black and the other was Chinese. They were not very recognizable at night, especially since there were no street lights in this warehouse area, which was relatively more conducive to their reconnaissance.

Jones and Jimmy adjusted their mobile phones to vibrate mode, and then separated to check the environment around the warehouse. Compared to Jones, Jimmy was very relaxed. Once his eyes were opened, the night did not bring him any obstacles. As long as he could observe the inside of the warehouse,

place, you can determine whether someone is inside.

There are a total of 7 large warehouses here, all of which are several meters high and 20 to 30 meters wide. The walls are also heavy masonry structures. Jimmy was faster and finally found a warehouse at the edge of the river.

human form.

Jimmy started to observe from the back of the warehouse. There were 5 people near the inside of the warehouse. Jimmy started to look forward along the corner of the warehouse. There were 2 people guarding the door in front of the warehouse. 2 people could also be seen in other places. If not because

If there is a blind spot in the distance, there will be a total of these 9 people in the warehouse.

Jimmy tiptoed back to the back of the warehouse, called Jones, and then hung up. This was the agreed signal, and the two of them returned to the entrance of the warehouse area to gather.

When Jimmy was about to return, there was a sudden sound of metal falling on the front of the warehouse. Then Jimmy could see people in the warehouse starting to stand up, and someone opened the warehouse door and walked out.

"Who's there? Come out!" "Go and have a look."

The movement just now was caused by Jones. Although he didn't have Jimmy's cheating skills, he had been a senior agent for several years and was already familiar with reconnaissance, so his progress was not slow and he happened to arrive in front of the warehouse.

.

When he turned around, he didn't pay attention and knocked over something like a piece of iron sheet, which made a loud noise. Seeing the people in the warehouse coming out to look for him with pistols, he had no choice but to take the lead.

"FBI! Drop your weapons."

The name of the FBI did not scare the two men. While Jones was still hiding behind the barrier, the two men's pistols went off and they fired in the direction of Jones's voice.

Jones was directly suppressed and could not come out. He pulled out his pistol but was unable to fight back at all. When one of them stopped shooting and changed ammunition, Jones reached out and fired two shots in their direction before retreating behind the obstacle.

The sound of gunshots alerted the people inside the warehouse. In Jimmy's sight, several people all ran towards the front door of the warehouse with guns in hand.

It was impossible for Jimmy to give up on Jones directly. He was alone in the direction of the main entrance and was surrounded by these people. He would definitely not end well. At this time, he could only save people.

He moved from the back of the warehouse to the side. Several human figures were very clear in his field of vision, but now that he had no direct field of vision, Jimmy could only continue to move forward to near the front door of the warehouse.

"FBI, put down your weapons, you are surrounded."

Jimmy shouted from behind everyone, and they turned around and fired at the corner where Jimmy was. Fortunately, the old warehouses here had solid walls instead of partition walls. Jimmy was still safe behind the corner for the time being.

The sound of "click, click, click" continued. These people were all veterans. They did not fire at the same time, but when someone was suppressing someone, someone paused the shooting. From time to time, the sound of "changing the magazine" was heard, and the others would

Then their shooting continued to suppress Jimmy's corner, and Jones was also suppressed painfully on the other side.

Because they didn't know exactly how many people there were on Jimmy and Jones, the gangsters did not rush directly to the corner where Jimmy was. Instead, they suppressed and retreated, and slowly walked towards the corner on the other side of the warehouse.

Jimmy couldn't wait any longer. When they all evacuated the main entrance, Jimmy would have no shooting angle at all.

Taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's shots, Jimmy reached out from the corner and fired. He had only two chances to pull back. But he was lucky. Although he was not aiming directly, he hit one of the people, but it didn't seem to be a fatal injury.

The person who was hit was holding his waist with one hand, holding a gun in the other hand and still shooting at Jimmy's corner while retreating.

Jimmy yelled, "Shoot."

Fortunately, Jones had been a soldier before. Jimmy's shot just now made the pressure on Jones' side slightly lessened. Upon hearing Jimmy's voice, Jones directly raised his pistol and pointed it at the crowd and emptied the magazine without looking at the results at all.

Go back behind the obstacle to change the magazine.

While Jones was shooting, Jimmy also showed a little angle from the corner and shot out all the remaining 4 bullets. Then he returned to the corner to collect the revolver and replaced it with a Glock.

The long-planned 4 shots paid off. Two people had fallen to the ground and were twisting. It looked like they had been shot. None of the gunmen were wearing body armor. For .357 Magnum, there was no bulletproof

Clothing means there is no protection and can penetrate them directly.

Two people put away their guns and bent down to drag the people on the ground. Jimmy did not waste the opportunity. He tilted his upper body out of the corner and emptied the magazine. This time, there was not much gain. Except for the two people who bent down and were named by Jimmy, the others had already

Hiding behind the corner.

At this point, the first phase of the battle ended. The gunmen fell 5 people, 1 was knocked down by Jones, 4 were knocked down by Jimmy, and 4 people came to the corner on the other side of the warehouse, but the 5 people who fell were not the same.

Not all of them were killed, and they still had the ability to fight back, so Jimmy and Jones still didn't come out from behind the bunker.
