North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 244 Tangled Hughes

Arriving at the parking lot, there was no one around. Peter finally couldn't keep the calmness on his face, "Hahahaha", Peter laughed and patted the roof of the car.

Jimmy and the others looked at Peter smiling from ear to ear, and they also laughed. For them, the detectives handling the case, these reckless men in the support force have never been very good at dealing with them. The two sides have completely different rules of conduct. This

It was really satisfying to see them deflated for the first time.

Peter was a little happier. After all, Jimmy was in his own group. Looking at Ruiz, he was really happy. The two of them didn't deal with each other very well, so there weren't many opportunities like this.

It's been a long time since Jimmy shot so comfortably. Not counting gun battles. In such a highly stressful situation, you can't feel much pleasure at all. Shooting at the shooting range without any psychological pressure is definitely a panacea for relaxing your mood.

The reloading techniques and his special abilities that he had practiced hard for a long time were finally displayed in front of others for the first time. So far, the shock effect is good.

After laughing for a while, Peter finally stopped and waved, "Get in the car, we're ready to leave."

Jimmy: "It's rare that I'm so happy today. Let's go have dinner together and then go back."

Peter: "No problem, let's go."

Although Jimmy's demonstration did not last long, it was already close to noon by the time he arrived at Staten Island from Manhattan in the morning. Now that he is returning directly to Manhattan, it must be already afternoon. It is better to go directly to Staten Island for lunch to save worry.

We had a happy lunch. There were not many opportunities for the group to go out to eat together. Jimmy handed over his credit card first. In fact, it didn't cost much, and he could still get a good impression. It was a small-cost, high-yield favor investment.

Peter and the others were happy, but some were not so happy. At noon, while Hughes was enjoying lunch, his phone started to ring. He connected the phone and chatted for a few words before hanging up. Hughes' good mood disappeared instantly.

Jimmy's performance in the morning was a little bit beyond the standard. No one present had a friend, and the news spread within a certain range in an instant.

The person who can make a call to Hughes must not be a small person. Generally speaking, if it is just an ordinary person, the most he can do is make a call to Peter.

Hughes's good mood at noon was gone. He had a hasty lunch and rushed back to Federation Square. After entering the office, Hughes hung his suit on the hanger, took out his cell phone and called Peter: "Peter, where are you?"

?”

Peter answered the phone while driving: "I just came back from Staten Island and have already arrived in Manhattan. What happened?"

Hughes: "Come to my office when you get back." After that, he hung up the phone without even giving Peter a chance to say goodbye.

Peter stuffed the phone back into his pocket and, as he drove, wondered what could have made Hughes so angry.

Soon, Peter and the others returned to the office, everyone else returned to their places, and Peter went directly into Hughes' office.

Hughes stood up and came to Peter from behind the table: "Peter, what did you do this morning?"

Peter was also a little confused by Hughes's move, and said carefully: "Ruiz reported the case to the support team, and they asked Jones and Jimmy to go to the training ground to reenact the scene."

Hughes frowned: "That's all?"

Peter: "They didn't quite believe in Jimmy's marksmanship, so Jimmy practiced his marksmanship for a while at the shooting range. I have to say that the perfect score in the academy's shooting event was really nothing short of amazing."

Hughes clapped his hands: "That's it. I've received several calls since noon asking about Jimmy. No wonder they are so concerned."

Hughes returned to his seat and sat down, tapping the table with his right hand and thinking.

After a while, Hughes asked Peter, "How's Jimmy doing here with you?"

Peter thought for a while: "Very good. Although he is a little reckless, he is very honest and has completed the assigned tasks very well."

Hughes: "What about your evaluation? His judgment of the clues in the case?"

Peter: "Good. It's not like the lack of judgment in the academy's comments. At least it's at an average level. In addition, he seems to have unexpected inspirations sometimes. This time we were able to find Nathan Bird as quickly as possible."

The gunman who was killed was the one who went to the location determined by reconnaissance."

Hughes: "You know, several people want to transfer Jimmy there, what do you think?"

Peter paused and thought: "Jimmy is still very good. Of course I hope he can continue to stay in my team."

Hughes: "Let me think about it again." Hughes waved his hand to Peter and asked Peter to leave so that he could think about it again.

In fact, now Hughes faces the same choice as James did at the time, except that James is the boss of the county police and sticks to his word, while Hughes is just a deputy in the New York office, not even the boss.

Peter turned around and left his office, returned to his own office, unbuttoned his suit and sat down.

It was really fun to watch Jimmy perform in the morning, and it was really fun to watch Ruiz lose his temper, but it felt really uncomfortable to be poached suddenly. Although Jimmy did not meet his own requirements, he had no understanding of the artwork, and he had no relevant case handling experience.

He has a lot of experience, but as the strongest force in the team, this character has become an indispensable and important role in his team after the last two or three weeks of cooperation.

Jones had served in the Navy before, but his military capabilities were still far behind Jimmy's. If Jimmy was transferred, he would suffer heavy losses here.

Peter thought about it for a while and then gave up. He couldn't do much by mobilizing personnel, but it was not suitable for Jimmy to participate in the case for the time being. Let him rest for a while.

Peter looked through the case files from his work and picked the next case.

Because Peter had not assigned the case yet, Jimmy could only continue to look at the case files in boredom. When he thought that he would continue to be a trainee agent for more than 5 months, he felt that his vision was dark. It had been too long and it was really boring.

Reading these case files is so boring that I almost fall asleep.

Now Jimmy hopes that Peter will hand over the case quickly so that he can go out. Even if he is in a daze in the surveillance car, it is better than sitting in the office.

Peter walked out of the office, "Diane, help me get our Snow White file."

Diana turned to look at Peter upstairs: "Are you sure?"

Peter: "Yes, I'm sure."

Diana got up and walked to the filing cabinet on the side and started to get the files, while Peter returned to the office.

Jimmy turned and approached Jones: "Hey, Jones, who is Snow White?"

Jones sighed, "Damn, it's about to start again. Snow White is a codename, a forgery case we have been pursuing before."
