North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 262 It’s always good to be well prepared

Although there were relatively few taxis, Jimmy finally arrived and got in the car to return to his apartment in Manhattan. It was already past 2 o'clock in the morning. Although it was very late, Jimmy still called Justin. As for Justin's bar,

It's not time to close the shop yet.

Jimmy: "Are you familiar with that person? Is he reliable? Is there a safe line?"

Justin was shocked when he heard that Jimmy didn't even mention his and Roman's names, "You go to the hotel tomorrow afternoon, the line there is safe." After that, he hung up the phone.

Jimmy put a smile on his face. Justin was still very vigilant. This was a good thing. If he had said it directly on the phone, it would have been a trap. To be honest, since training at the FBI academy, he really didn't care about the phone.

There is no hope of confidentiality anymore. The FBI has too many ways to obtain call information. The only question is whether it has the authority to call other systems.

Since Justin said there is a secure line at the hotel, it should be credible. Satellite phones are relatively safer, and if the landline phone is a private network, the security is also guaranteed.

Jimmy took a shower, but when he lay in bed, he still couldn't forget the smoke in the basement of Villa Roman. Because of the smoke-shaped demon he saw during the exorcism in Little Rock, the more Jimmy thought about it, the more frightened he became.

The reason why he had to contact Justin quickly was because he was unsure. If this matter really needed to be intervened, he would definitely bring in some foreign aid. Not to mention bringing Father Reuter over, he would at least contact Father Reuter to introduce him.

Cooperate with reliable people, otherwise we will never get involved.

Jimmy kept thinking about the "thing" below because of the abnormality he found when he touched the wall. From the wall behind the safe downwards, it was unusually cold. The wall that was only more than one meter apart was completely normal.

The temperature was not normal at all, unless there was a strip-shaped freezer that connected up and down behind the wall, but he did not find it within the scope of his mental observation.

Now suppose that the "thing" in the basement goes up this cold passage, then as an abnormal devil, he should be able to directly make the necklace in the safe disappear, which can explain the absence of any drag marks on the velvet mat, but this still

A question needs to be explained, why only the necklace disappeared and nothing else was lost?

If the loss of the necklace has nothing to do with the "things" below, then what we have to do tomorrow is to "borrow" some equipment and reagents from Jones, and then check the safe and all aspects of the room to see if anything is found.

If there are really clues and you can avoid touching the "things" below, that would be the best. It is always safer to track people.

His mind kept spinning, and Jimmy didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he realized that it was already 11 o'clock at noon.

Good guy, this time he slept for too long. He rarely slept for such a long time. Sleeping for a long time is actually not good. Jimmy now feels that although he is awake, he still has no energy and his whole body is somewhat weak.

He felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking about his experience yesterday, it seemed that playing squash for more than an hour was a bit too much for his body.

Mary and Jenna took turns playing, and everyone had plenty of time to rest, while Jimmy basically didn't rest for long. Although Jimmy also exercised regularly, he was obviously still not used to such long-term strenuous exercise.

Enduring the discomfort, Jimmy went to the bathroom again, turned on the faucet and took a hot bath, which made himself more comfortable.

Jimmy changed into a suit and called Jones. Fortunately, although he was no longer in Peter's team, Jones was still willing to help. Jimmy was going to the bureau in the afternoon, and there was Jones' own backup tool in the surveillance car.

The box contains fingerprint display agent and luminol solution (the function is to develop blood traces and turn off the surrounding light source to create a dim environment. Under such ambient light, blood traces will show blue fluorescence.).

Not only was Jones willing to provide some reagents, he was even willing to lend him the tool box, but Jimmy refused. Borrowing some reagents was a trivial matter, but going out with the FBI's box was too obvious a target.

Jimmy found two small bottles with lids, took out a briefcase and put them away, but he still lacked some tools. When he went out to eat later, he would find a store to buy them, such as small brushes, tape, small spray bottles, cotton swabs, etc.

, although small, they are all usable tools.

In fact, it would be most convenient to use Jones' toolbox. It has everything in it. Jimmy also used the tools and reagents in this toolbox when he was studying. Unfortunately, he is still a trainee agent and does not have the conditions to apply for equipment.

.

Jimmy packed his things, went out to eat first, and then called to make an appointment to rent a car. Because he had to go to several places today, it would be more convenient to drive. As for renting a car in New York, this is too easy. Jimmy called to make an appointment and came to sign for it.

After signing the contract, you get the key and just drive up and drive away.

Jimmy went to the Continental Hotel first. Fortunately, after showing the silver coat of arms card, Jimmy asked to use the confidential phone to answer a call. He got permission. After contacting Justin with his spare mobile phone, Justin called the hotel phone.

Justin: "Jimmy, what happened?"

Jimmy: "Are you familiar with Roman? Is he reliable?"

Justin: "We have interacted with each other before, but our friendship is not deep."

Jimmy: "The case of the lost necklace is very difficult. It was either an internal theft or an experienced expert. In short, it will be difficult and troublesome."

Justin: "Any conclusions?"

Jimmy: "What I just said is the preliminary conclusion. I plan to bring equipment today to check if there are any other clues. If there are not any other clues, we will have to retreat. This case cannot be handled."

Justin: "I understand. You should deal with it first. If anything happens, contact me."

Jimmy: "Well, and what does this guy do?"

Justin: "A small arms dealer. The main market is in Central and South America. He is not very powerful. He has provided weapons to my clients before. If he can handle it, he will do it. If he can't handle it, he will give up. Everything depends on your opinion."

Jimmy: "I understand. Let's do this for now. Then be careful when contacting you on the phone and don't say anything sensitive."

Jimmy hung up the phone and left the Continental Hotel. Jimmy went to Federal Plaza first. Jones was still very reliable and filled two bottles with reagents for Jimmy without asking him what they were used for.

After preparing the most important reagents, Jimmy drove out of Manhattan to Long Island. When passing through Queens, he bought some tools for his own use in the supermarket here. Fortunately, although they were not professional, they could be used.
