North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 281 Something big happened

Jimmy dialed Lambert's number. He must have been waiting for the news, and the call was answered instantly.

Jimmy: "Director Lambert, Ray has been shot and is waiting for an ambulance."

Lambert: "Is it serious? Is it life-threatening?"

Jimmy: "Emergency treatment has been carried out. The ambulance will be here soon. It should be fine."

Lambert: "Tell me about the process. How is the robber doing?"

Jimmy: "The robbers divided two cars. One car was intercepted. Three robbers broke into a house and took two hostages. Ray was shot by the robbers while negotiating with them. Now all the robbers have been arrested.

The dispatch center just reported a car accident. The police are currently processing the scene. I haven't determined the final result yet."

Lambert: "OK, send Lei to the emergency room as soon as possible, and return to Dallas as soon as the case is over."

Jimmy: "Got it. Goodbye."

Jimmy briefly explained the situation to Lambert, and then waited for the police to handle the scene where Ray was lying.

The first ambulance arrived relatively quickly. It even arrived at the scene before the police car. It took over Lei immediately, put him on a stretcher and transferred him to the ambulance for emergency treatment. The ambulance blared its siren all the way to the hospital.

.

The hostage with injured legs was taken away by the second ambulance, and the three bodies were taken away by the ambulance behind.

Jimmy stayed at the scene. As the only FBI agent at the scene, he also had to supervise the police's handling and evidence collection at the scene, including the traces of the robber's shooting and the bullet holes and shell casings left by Jimmy's shooting, which had to be marked and photographed.

, he can’t do these tasks either.

The SWAT team came and left. Except for one captain who came down to communicate with the superintendent for a few words, the others did not get out of the car at all. The SWAT team that came over worked in vain and left empty-handed.

After a while, a black Crown Victoria drove over, and two people with FBI badges got out of the car. They came to Jimmy.

"Special Agent Sam Burton of the Dallas office, you're Jimmy, you did a great job." The person reached out and shook Jimmy's hand.

Jimmy: "Jimmy Young from the Manhattan office, did you follow the car on the other side? How are the robbers over there?"

Sam: "There was an accident. The robbers lost control of their car while escaping. They collided with a large truck on the road and rolled over. Both robbers were caught and have been escorted to the detention center by the police."

Jimmy: "That's good. Agent Lei is fine. The ambulance has taken him away for emergency treatment."

Sam: "Well, I already received the news when I came here. Lambert called me and I will take over the case here. You can go back to the Dallas office first. Lambert is waiting for you."

Jimmy: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll drive Lei's car back. Remember to go to the police station with these policemen. There are three bags in the trunk of the robber's car, which should be the money they robbed."

Sam nodded, Jimmy picked up Ray's holster and handcuffs, walked to the robber's car, picked up Ray's M16 and put them in the trunk of Ray's car, and drove into Ray's car. It was more urgent when parking just now.

, Ray didn't remove the key at all, he just turned off the engine, which was just convenient for Jimmy.

Jimmy drove away from the scene. After driving for a while, he found a gas station nearby, got a map at a convenience store, looked at the route, and drove back to Dallas.

This is Fort Worth, and Ray was driving when he came here. Jimmy actually didn't memorize many of the names of the roads he passed, so it would be better to check it with a map to avoid going the wrong way.

Fort Worth is not far from Dallas, only a few dozen kilometers. More than an hour later, Jimmy drove to the Dallas office, put Ray's car in the parking lot, and carried Ray's equipment bag upstairs.

Don't put your belongings directly in the trunk. If it gets stolen or something goes wrong, you'll be in trouble.

Arriving at Lambert's office, Lambert was already waiting for Jimmy. Jimmy re-explained the situation to Lambert, including that he found that the shooting line was not good, ran to the corner and found that the robber had fired, and that he was hit by a thunderbolt.

The whole process from when the gun fell to the ground to when he killed three people has been processed by Jimmy's acting skills that are comparable to those of a professional actor. From an outsider's point of view, there is absolutely nothing unusual about Jimmy. He is just more courageous and has better marksmanship.

The consciousness is just sharper.

Lambert arranged for Jimmy to write a report. This report would be integrated with Ray's report later and filed as a case report. Jimmy did not refuse. This was as it should be. However, Lambert did not explain the follow-up. After the report was completed, it was

In the afternoon, Jimmy slipped out and had something to eat, then went back to the hotel to continue resting.

After solving this case, Jimmy didn't have a good rest in the morning and worked for a long time. He went to sleep and woke up after 9 o'clock in the evening. Jimmy looked at his mobile phone and saw no one calling. Hey, life is such a failure. It seems that he can

The people who call me are all work-related people, and I have very few non-work-related friends.

Jimmy changed his clothes and went out to find food.

After two boring days, Ray had been transferred from the hospital in Fort Worth back to the hospital in Dallas. He had only been shot twice. For a place in the United States where shootings occur every day, the doctors here are very experienced.

After the injury is treated, he will rest. There is no need to stay in Fort Worth. It will be easier for his family to take care of him when he returns to Dallas.

Jimmy also went to the hospital to see Ray. Ray's injury was not serious, but Ray's car wouldn't be used for a while, and it belongs to Jimmy now. Jimmy took the keys back to the office, drove Ray's car and went shopping.

.

It's not that Jimmy likes shopping, but that he wants to buy a few more clothes. Originally, he didn't bring many clothes with him when traveling. When he knew he would be temporarily seconded to the Dallas office, he already bought a few pieces to change. Now it seems that he probably

I'm going to be in Dallas for a long time, so I just need to buy more. If I do it a few times, I probably won't be able to keep up with the laundry.

Fortunately, nothing special happened until Jimmy returned to the hotel this time, and Ray's car was saved. If there was another problem with Ray's car, the vehicle manager in the Dallas office would go crazy, and Jimmy would definitely be included in the list.

The most disliked person.

While watching TV boredly, Jimmy's phone suddenly rang.

Jimmy: "Hatten, long time no see. How are you doing?"

Harten: "Jimmy, where are you now? At work or at home?"

Jimmy: "Resting in the hotel, what's wrong?"

Harten: "I think I need to tell you something. Something happened to James."

Jimmy: "What's going on? What's wrong with James?"

Harten: "He was shot. He was shot on his way to get off work this evening. But don't worry, he has been rescued now and is in the city hospital."

Jimmy: "I understand. There should be no flights now. I'll go back to Little Rock tomorrow. Thanks, Hatten."

Hatten: "You're welcome. I know you have a good relationship, so I'll let you know."

Jimmy hung up the phone and his face darkened.

James, Jimmy's second nobleman, gave him a new identity, a new career, and even his current life. It can be said that he got it from James. And, although he didn't say it, James is indeed like Jimmy's elder.

, took good care of him.

He was shot on his way to get off work. Although Hatten didn't say it just now, it was definitely not a random shooting caused by a mental illness. If that was the case, Hatten must have said it. You must know that James is the county sheriff. He is not an ordinary policeman.

For senior local officials, the FBI will definitely get involved in their attack cases. Even if the organizer is not the FBI but the local police, the FBI will definitely deploy manpower to monitor the progress.

The responsibilities of the FBI are very complex. Although Hatten is not the supervisor, as a local FBI agent, his ability to obtain information will definitely not be low. It seems that he will have to meet with Hatten tomorrow.

Jimmy looked at the time. It was now around 8 pm. He took a shower early and went to bed early to ensure that he would get up early and be energetic tomorrow. He would take the earliest flight to Little Rock tomorrow. He also had a car parked at the county police station.

Yes, it can be used directly when the time comes, but I don’t know what the condition of the car is. It’s really not possible. It shouldn’t be a problem to go to the police station to borrow a car based on his reputation.

Early the next morning, Jimmy traveled lightly with his documents and revolver and took the earliest flight to Little Rock. Fortunately, there were no problems with the flight. When Jimmy landed, he took a taxi to the county police station.

"Hi, Jimmy." When we arrived at the county police station, there were no changes in the personnel here. They were still very happy for Jimmy's arrival. However, James was shot yesterday, which made everyone feel low.

"Hi, Amy, how's James doing?" Jimmy found Amy and asked her directly because it was faster because Amy was the most well-informed person in the police station.

Amy: "Jimmy, James is fine. He has been released from the ICU and is still in the hospital. Why are you back?"

Jimmy: "I was notified by Agent Hatten of the FBI. Who injured James? Has anyone been caught?"

Amy shook her head: "No, we didn't even find the suspect. James was shot and injured when he was driving home from work. The gunman drove parallel to James, and then shot and wounded James. He didn't stop at all and directly

He drove away. People on the road called the police, and James was finally rescued."

Jimmy: "We haven't found the suspect. At least the intersection surveillance should be able to find the gunman's car, right? No results?"

Amy: "Kager is investigating this now, and there is no result yet. You can ask Kager."

Jimmy: "Where is Kage? Forget it, I'll call him directly. I'm leaving first. Do you have my car keys? Give them to me. I need them today."

Amy: "Of course, your car is not being used by anyone else and is still in the parking lot." Amy opened the drawer and took out Jimmy's car keys and threw them to him.

Jimmy: "I'm leaving first."

Jimmy turned and left Amy's office, calling Karg and walking to the parking lot.

Jimmy: "Kager, how's the investigation going on James' case?"

Kag: "You also know? I don't know who talks so much. Don't worry, you can stay in New York peacefully, I will take care of it."

Jimmy: "I've come to Little Rock, Karg, tell me the progress, or I can go find you and investigate together?"

Kag was speechless: "Why did you arrive so quickly? Well, you don't have to come over. I'm here at the dispatch center and have already found the road surveillance at that time, but the license plate of the car is fake. The only clue currently is the surveillance

The driver's appearance in the photo above, a man wearing sunglasses, is a bit blurry. I'm checking traffic videos at other intersections to see where he went on the route behind him."

Jimmy: "Well, check as soon as possible. Send a photo of the other driver to the headquarters. I'm at the headquarters. I'll get the photo first."

Kag: "Okay, I'll fax it back later."

Jimmy hung up the phone and returned to headquarters, waiting for Kag's fax.

After getting the fax, Jimmy left the headquarters directly and drove to the FBI Little Rock office. At the FBI office, Jimmy's movement was more convenient. He entered the building with his ID and went directly to Harten.

Hatten knew that Jimmy would definitely look for him when he came to Little Rock today, so he did not go out to do anything, but waited for Jimmy in the office.

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

Hatten: "Not yet, we have arranged for people to investigate. Have you been to the hospital?"

Jimmy shook his head: "Not yet. I want to understand the situation first before going there. It may take a long time to go to the hospital."

Hatten: "You should go to the hospital to see James first. Don't worry about the investigation. I have arranged for the surveillance team to help check the video and track the car."

Jimmy gave Hatten the photo faxed by Kager: "This is the photo that Superintendent Kager got from the surveillance camera. You should have it too. Can you check it based on this photo?"

Haten glanced at it and handed it to Jimmy: "We got it too, but this person obviously knows our method. This pair of glasses covers most of his face. With this image alone, there is no way to do computer matching.

.Jimmy, you have also received training from the academy, so you should know these basics."

Hatten could tell that Jimmy was a little confused. Whether it was because he came to Little Rock early in the morning or because of his abnormal judgment, it was absolutely abnormal. Jimmy he had interacted with before did not behave like this.

It seems that James's status in Jimmy's heart is definitely very high. It is not a general relationship between a boss and a subordinate, but even more than a relationship between friends and friends. If you want to describe it, it may be close to or even reach the level of family.

Jimmy put away the photo and said, "Hatten, if you have any clues, please call me and I'll go to the hospital first."

Harten: "Well, go ahead. By the way, have you looked in the mirror? Go to the bathroom."

Hatten pointed to the road next to him, which led to the bathroom. Jimmy squinted his eyes, nodded, and walked to the bathroom. Hatten discovered something, but did not say it directly. Jimmy probably knew it, and his expression now should

Not very good.

When he came to the bathroom, Jimmy looked at himself in the mirror. Although he guessed that his face looked bad, he really didn't realize that his expression could be so gloomy.

Jimmy's body is not that of a handsome guy. He just keeps working out and has a good figure. His face is also angular. He has not gained weight. His hair has also grown a little longer than its original size. He looks energetic and quite aggressive.

But now, Jimmy's eyes were half-closed, the corners of his mouth were drooping, and there was no other expression on his face, but his muscles looked very tense. Just one glance made him feel that this man was in an extremely bad mood and he wanted to stay away from him.

He had never noticed it before, maybe it was already like this when he was at the police station, but no one from Amy or the others reminded him of it. It was only now that he noticed it after Hatten reminded him. If he goes to see James with this expression

, that would be terrible. This is not the expression on someone’s face when visiting a patient.

Jimmy adjusted his expression in the mirror to make himself look normal, then handled some personal matters and left the FBI building.
