North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 271 Blockade of the Villa

Jimmy took off his suit, took a bottle of iced Coke, threw himself on the sofa, picked up the phone and dialed Justin's number. At this time, the bar was just beginning to fill up, so it shouldn't be very busy yet.

But I don't know what's going on with Justin. No one answered Jimmy's call until it automatically hung up. He put the phone on the coffee table, turned on the TV, found a TV series at random, and started to kill time.

About half an hour later, the phone rang. Jimmy looked at the number and saw that it was indeed Justin.

Jimmy answered the phone, "Hi, any news?"

Justin: "Well, it's not good news. The forensics did not identify the substance they were poisoned with. I don't know where the instructions came from. They have sealed off Roman's villa."

Jimmy frowned and asked: "Just a blockade? No further action?"

Justin: "Yes, this is the strangest thing. They are currently just sealing off the scene and preventing people from entering and destroying the scene. The medical examiner has submitted the autopsy report. Now the case has been put on hold and no police detectives have been arranged to follow up.

The police department’s informants no longer have access to the latest information.”

Jimmy: "In other words, there was something unusual about this case, but the police station couldn't find it out, and then someone interfered with them. As a result, they couldn't just close the case with death as a result of suffocation. Instead, they were forced to hang up the case and seal off the scene to prevent others from entering.

Right?"

Justin thought for a moment: "Yes, it can be inferred. Let's end this matter. It should have nothing to do with you. They don't have any clues about his family that point to you. I can be sure of this."

Jimmy: "Okay, if they lift the lockdown, please let me know."

Justin: "It's okay. I'll let you know when the police get the results, and I'll give you this information for free."

Jimmy: "Thanks, please let me know if you have time to come to New York."

Jimmy hung up the phone and was speechless. He had just been to Roman's villa the night before and walked around inside. As a result, the police did not find any information about him. He didn't know what to say. Could it be that the police were

waste?

Jimmy temporarily put aside this troublesome matter and continued to watch TV. After running around all day, he was too lazy to go out and play.

While Jimmy was busy calling Justin, Ruiz also came to Hughes' office.

Ruiz: "Hughes, what's the emergency for me to come back at this time?"

Hughes: "Sit down, how is the case today?"

Ruiz: "Four robbers blew up the entrance to the underground pipe and escaped, but two were captured, one of which was caught by Jimmy. The case is now in the Queens office, and the robbers are also detained there."

Hughes: "How is he? Tell me about the process."

Ruiz: "When we arrived at the scene, the ESU had not yet attacked. About half an hour later, the negotiators returned. It should be at this time that the robbers in the hall left the hall and went to the vault.

After the explosion in the bank, the NYPD people rushed in and found the robbers running away. Jimmy ran out immediately and called the NYPD at the door to guard the entrance to the underground pipe. He was really lucky and found one of the people. Then he started again

I looked around for pipes and successfully caught one."

Hughes: "Did he run out on his own? Do you think... is it really luck?"

Ruiz shook his head: "It would be a lie to say it was all luck, but he could immediately think of arranging people to guard the sewer outside after seeing the blasted entrance. His mind was spinning really fast. I think

This should not be said to be due to experience, but to outstanding judgment. You must know that no one knew the direction of the underground pipe network under the bank at that time, and he did not have enough manpower to leave people to scout at every entrance."

Hughes: "Well, that's what I thought too. I remember it was like this once before. I'll look it up."

Hughes turned around and took down a file from the shelf behind him. Jimmy was the biggest unrest in the office recently, so Hughes put his file directly behind him. In fact, he had already seen it many times.

Hughes found a page and handed it to Ruiz: "Look at this, the case of theft of cultural relics."

Ruiz looked at it for a moment, then went back to look at Jimmy's other information, "Well, just one surveillance time, I determined that there was a major suspicion in that room and it was the suspect's foothold. My judgment was very good."

Ruiz closed the file and gave it to Hughes: "What do you think?"

Hughes: "What case do you think he would be suitable for?"

Ruiz did not answer and fell into deep thought, and Hughes did not interrupt him.

Hughes has thought a lot about it. Jimmy is a good prospect. Whether it is the evaluation of the FBI Academy or what Jimmy has done in the past month or so, although he is a trainee agent and only does some basic work, each case has more

They have contributed to some extent, even a great contribution.

There is no boss who doesn’t like such an agent. More importantly, he has strong fighting ability. For a violent department like the FBI, this advantage can even cover up other shortcomings to a certain extent. He is not good at handling cases, even as a deputy.

Many people grabbed it.

Ruiz looked up at Hughes: "If I say, he is actually more suitable for the NYPD detective bureau, murder, hijacking, robbery and other types of cases, his marksmanship is very good, for these cases to be handled on the spot,

His abilities are absolutely top-notch.”

Hughes looked at Ruiz and said nothing. Ruiz also knew that he was talking nonsense. He continued: "Here, it seems that he can participate in all kinds of cases because we always face various dangers, such as me.

In the case of gangs here, violence may break out at any time in the face of these gangsters."

Hughes nodded. Ruiz didn't seem to want to let Jimmy go either. This group of people were like this. Of course they didn't want to let Jimmy go if they were useful.

Hughes: "Well, I know what you mean, let's do this for now."

Ruiz nodded, stood up and was about to leave. When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and asked, "Hughes, how is the OPR investigation going?"

Hughes: "There is no problem. The source of funds is normal and has been checked. But now they still have different opinions. You know, Jimmy has killed too many people. Now OPR is considering whether to let psychological experts intervene to judge him.

Is it appropriate to remain in the elite group?"

Ruiz frowned: "They want him to go to the support team?"

Hughes nodded and said no more. Ruiz turned around and left Hughes' office, going downstairs to go home.

Jimmy was completely unaware of the conversation between Hughes and the others. He always thought that OPR was investigating him because of the murder. In fact, it was because his case attracted OPR's attention in the first place. However, killing is not unacceptable. The FBI has freedom when handling cases.

The degree is very high, and it is very normal for them to kill suspects in order to protect themselves or their colleagues when danger arises.

However, when investigating Jimmy's file, OPR unexpectedly discovered that Jimmy's account had an unusually large amount of funds. For a trainee agent, he was an orphan and had no relatives, but his account had hundreds of thousands of dollars. Putting these few words together,

It was already very suspicious, but he had just come to work for the FBI. They couldn't help but think wrongly. There must be something wrong with these funds.

OPR used this as a reason to persuade Hughes to suspend Jimmy on leave under the pretext of Jimmy's murder incident to facilitate their further investigation. Of course, in order to make the whole process look okay, they still suspended Ruiz and Peter's group.

Inquired.

Through organizational relationships, OPR successfully found Jimmy's company and patents. Although the company is now controlled by a company registered in the Cayman Islands, this is also a normal situation. Too many companies in the United States use this scheme to avoid taxes and

Operating funds.

The most important thing is that they found the time when Jimmy applied for a patent in the early days and the time when the Pulaski County Police Department invited bids to replace new police lights. Although they did not investigate how many companies Jimmy's company authorized to produce this kind of police lights, they did not find out.

His company is not a listed company and does not need to disclose this information, but based on the information obtained so far, the funds in Jimmy's account are completely legal income.

However, for the OPR, the high-profile investigative detectives, the final result was not good, and their report was not good-looking. That's why Hughes said just now. They also have all of Jimmy's files, and some people have made judgments about Jimmy, thinking that he

More suitable for other positions, not the elite group.

Jimmy rested for the night and received a call from Ruiz early the next morning. Hughes asked him to inform Jimmy that the OPR investigation was not over yet and that Jimmy should continue on vacation.

Jimmy was completely confused. It was just a trainee detective's investigation that lasted for nearly a week and it wasn't over yet? What big thing happened?

Jimmy has to meet with the agent today. Relying on the relationship with the bureau, the agent is also very considerate and found several good houses according to Jimmy's budget. After Jimmy has seen the photos and information, they will check with Jimmy.

The selected housing information was not prepared by them in advance, but obtained through connections, so the specific content was not clear, and it was impossible to go through the house purchase payment process until it was confirmed.

It was also the first time for Jimmy to buy a house. He was completely following the arrangements of the agent. Apart from confirming the house and waiting for an on-site inspection later, he had no idea what else to do. This is probably what puppets mean.

After dealing with these personal matters, Jimmy suddenly became free. He was supposed to be able to go back to work after a week's leave, but now he was notified that the leave was extended. The purchase and upgrade plan was temporarily shelved because of buying a house. Although the abnormality at Roman Villa was not dealt with,

The scene has been cordoned off by the police, and he has no way to continue the investigation. The supernatural knowledge he got from Evan is currently useless, not to mention that he himself doesn't know whether his gun can be used.

Speaking of which, do you want to go find Roland? Roland is a real expert on the supernatural side that Jimmy knows. Maybe he can answer Jimmy's doubts and ask him how Roland killed the demon with a gun.

Jimmy doesn't have Roland's phone number. Although he has been there a few times, he actually doesn't know Roland very well at all. Until now, apart from chatting in person, he doesn't even have any contact information. This is why he had to contact Father Reuter if he wanted to learn about supernatural knowledge.

Because New York is in the northeast of the United States and Texas is in the southwest, the distance is too far, so I didn’t even think about looking for Roland at that time.

Now that he is under investigation, he should have enough time to go there. Anyway, Ruiz did not say how long he needs to take leave.

As soon as he left, Jimmy simply went home, packed a bag, put on casual clothes, left home, took a taxi and went straight to John F. Kennedy Airport.

For Jimmy's impromptu trip, there is no need to buy tickets in advance. As an FBI agent, he carries a gun with him, so he must go to the service desk to register. Then he can just buy the latest flight without having to choose.

As mentioned before, FBI agents carry weapons whether they are on official business or traveling on vacation. TSA also hopes that they will carry guns on airplanes or other means of transportation to avoid being unable to stop crimes because they do not have guns when an accident occurs.

It is also limited to federal agents. For local police, they must report and wait for approval based on whether it is official business.

Arriving at the airport, Jimmy successfully checked in and waited for the flight in an hour and a half. There was no way, the last few flights were full. Nearly a year has passed and everyone's fear of flying has disappeared, and the flight appeared

It is normal to be full. Occasionally, there will be flights where multiple people occupy the same seat. At that time, the flight will be adjusted or upgraded.

Jimmy didn't want to feel aggrieved anymore. He bought first class and the crowded experience of economy class. He really didn't want to experience it again.

Jimmy did not go directly to the terminal, but left the airport again and smoked outside to kill time. Before finishing a cigarette, something seemed to have happened inside the airport. Jimmy turned around and looked over. Many people were running. It must be...

Something happened.

Jimmy was not in a hurry to go in. There were airport police and security guards, and they would handle it if there was any trouble. The matter was too big and it wouldn't be too late to go in then. Jimmy's flight still had to wait for a long time anyway, so he just wanted to watch a movie.

Ten minutes later, looking from the outside, order should have been restored inside. The crowd that had just dispersed began to walk inside. Jimmy threw away the second cigarette butt, turned around and entered the airport to take a flight to Dallas.

After sleeping one night in Dallas, Jimmy rented a car and drove to Roland's home.

Jimmy was lucky today. Roland seemed to be at home. Before he reached the cabin, he saw that his door was open. Jimmy stopped the car and Roland had already walked out of the cabin.

Roland: "Jimmy, what are you doing here?"

Jimmy: "Hi, Roland, long time no see." Jimmy came to the house with a bag. He handed the bag to Roland, "I have gone to work in New York. I haven't seen you in a long time. I came here to see you."

Inside the bag was a bottle of Hennessy XO Cognac. Although he didn’t know if Roland would like it, Jimmy didn’t know what to bring to the door, so he could only follow the crowd. He only remembered the wine when he was in the hotel last night.

When I rented a car in the morning, I bought a bottle at a nearby winery.
