North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 294 There is indeed a problem

Jimmy didn't sleep for too long. He woke up before dawn. However, he didn't wake up naturally, but because he suddenly had heart palpitations and was awakened.

Before he reached out to turn on the light, Jimmy reached out to get the revolver from under the pillow, opened his mind and observed the surroundings. He had already observed the structure inside the house when he moved in. His travel bag and tool box were all placed there.

I looked carefully at the bedside and other parts and found nothing wrong.

Jimmy sat up from the bed and looked over the wall at the neighbors on the left and right. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He could see someone lying on the bed, and there was no one else in the house.

I didn't see anyone moving in the corridor outside. It's strange. What's going on with this palpitating feeling?

Jimmy reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. For safety reasons, he first took his clothes and pants and put them on. Then he began to move slowly around the house, checking his things and making sure that the tool box and travel bag were in the same place as they were in the house.

Nothing unusual.

Jimmy stood by the bed and frowned. He glanced at the watch on the bedside. It was only 2 o'clock in the morning. What was going on? This was the first time in a long time that Jimmy woke up with heart palpitations. He had never had this before.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the surrounding rooms and corridors, Jimmy turned around and sat on the bed. His eyes kept wandering left and right, and continued to check the surrounding area. After waiting for a few minutes, he still didn't see anything unusual. Jimmy gave up and withdrew his thoughts. He didn't

If you're ready to sleep naked, just lean against the bed and take a rest.

It was the first time he had palpitations. He was still a little panicked. He had heard of this kind of sixth sense feeling before. Usually something happened and it was closely related to him, such as something was going to happen to him or a relative had something.

What's the matter, but in this world, I no longer have any relatives, so something is going to happen to me?

Jimmy didn't turn off the light, and kept holding the revolver in his right hand. He was thinking about what on earth had to do with him to give him this sixth sense. He couldn't figure it out. He reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, turning it on at night.

The lights look too unusual from the outside.

After leaning against the bed and squinting for a while, Jimmy opened his eyes again. There was something on his mind. He couldn't even squint for a while, and his mind couldn't calm down. Jimmy started his mental eyes again to observe his surroundings. It was still the same. It was more than ten years since he woke up with heart palpitations.

It's been a few minutes and nothing unusual has been found, but this normality makes Jimmy more and more nervous.

His spirit gradually became tense, and Jimmy finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and turned on the light, took out the body armor from his travel bag and put it on, hung the FBI badge around his neck, held the revolver in his right hand, and 6 bullets in his left hand.

Open the door and look outside.

At about 3 o'clock in the morning, there were no street lights except for the motel sign and a light at the door. The weather was not very good today, the clouds were thick, and the moonlight did not illuminate much of the place.

Jimmy tried his best to look outside, but there was nothing unusual. It seemed that he was too nervous. Even if something happened, it probably wasn't here. Nothing happened for nearly an hour, so it should be nothing.

Jimmy returned to the house, closed the door, hung up the safety lock, put on his body armor and lay down directly on the bed, turned off the lights and continued to rest.

At dawn in the morning, the sound of cars on the road woke Jimmy up. He got up and looked at the room. Everything was normal. It seemed that his work at night was in vain. He shook his head, took off his body armor, and went to the bathroom to clean up.

After sorting it out, Jimmy moved everything into the trunk of the Crown Victoria as if moving a house. It was not that he planned to check out, but that he was worried and had to take it with him.

First, he went to a nearby restaurant to buy a burger and a cup of coffee. Jimmy stood by the car and finished eating. Then he went into the restaurant again and packed a lunch. Today’s plan is to check all the remaining crime sites. In order to save worry and avoid

After running back and forth to waste time, Jimmy decided to have a picnic directly by the river at noon.

I drove to the Red River, where the second case occurred. However, a few months later, even the boat was taken away, and there was nothing left here.

Jimmy looked around as usual and could see that there were many people here. There were many traces of bonfires by the river. It seemed that there were many people coming here for camping and leisure this summer, but nothing happened to them.

Looking at the Red River in front of him, Jimmy couldn't help but regret that he hadn't thought about it before coming. It would be great if he brought a fishing rod with him. The environment here is very suitable for fishing to kill time.

Arriving at the location of the third case, the same process was followed, but nothing was found underground. Jimmy stood here and looked around. From the location of the third case, he could see the location of the previous two cases. Jimmy suddenly felt

There seems to be something wrong with this angle.

Taking a branch, Jimmy drew a topographic map and the location of the case on the ground. He always felt very awkward. He seemed to have some ideas but couldn't express them.

Clapping his hands, Jimmy stood up, got back in the car, and drove back to the town police station.

Jimmy: "Chief Inspector, do you have a map of the area here? The scale should be more accurate."

Cha De looked at Jimmy, who was rushing back from his travels. He thought he had gone to the scene to investigate. Even though he was wearing jeans, he could still see the dirt on his pants.

Cha nodded and took out a town map from the cabinet next to him. Jimmy took the map to the empty table in the hall, took out three bullets from his pocket and placed them at the crime scene. It can be seen from this accurate map that

The relationship between these three points is revealed. Except for the second one on the river bank, the other two locations seem to be about the same distance from the river. Because the Red River has a corner here, it has not been discovered before. Now it matches the Lei on the map.

He reached out and gestured at the corner of the De River. The distance between the two locations and the corner of the river was basically the same.

According to this distance, Jimmy also gestured towards the woods on the right, took another bullet and placed it at a location in the woods.

Jimmy shouted: "Chief Inspector, please come."

Chad came out of the office and walked next to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Look at this location. Did the person who disappeared in the woods in the fourth case disappear here?"

Cha De looked at it and shook his head: "Akins, the missing person is from our town, his name is Akins. I didn't mark the location of his cabin before. I need to go to the scene to see this, but it is true

In this woods."

Jimmy nodded, he put away the bullets on the map, "Let's go to this place in the afternoon to confirm." Chad nodded and returned to his office.

Jimmy went out and took out the lunch he had prepared for camping from the car. After eating it in the police station, he sat on the chair and squinted. There were only three people in the police station, and Zha was in charge of the police station. The other two took turns to go out on patrol, so Jimmy and the two

I haven't seen any other police officers all day.

While he was squinting, someone came in from outside, "Who are you?"

Jimmy opened his eyes and sat upright, "FBI agent Jimmy Young, you must be Nora."

Policewoman Nora nodded and turned around to go to Chad's office. Jimmy was woken up and stopped squinting. He got up and went to the nearby bathroom to handle some personal matters and wash his face. When he came out, he found that Chad and Nora were already standing there.

Next to his desk.

Jimmy: "Chief Inspector, what's going on?"

Chad: "This is Nora. Let's go investigate the wooden house in the woods together in the afternoon. How are you preparing?"

Jimmy: "Ready to go."

Chad: "Then let's go now."

The three of them went out and drove three cars along the dirt road to the north of the town to the woods. The woods were not too large. They stopped the car on the edge and checked the direction. The three of them entered the woods directly.

After walking for more than ten meters, I saw a place where wood was being collected. A clearing had been cut here, and a frame had been erected on a big tree. This was the tree house that the missing Aikins was building.

Jimmy walked around the treehouse and began to observe the surrounding environment with his inner eye. Because the specific location of Akins' disappearance was unclear, the area that Jimmy needed to explore was relatively large. After an hour, Jimmy finally left the woods.

, however he did not find anything unusual.

Jimmy came out of the woods and compared the distances around him. He took out the map from the car and remarked the location of the tree house on it. It was about the same distance from Red River as the other two cases, but because he used his hand

There is a lot of error in the distance of the gesture.

Looking at the map, Jimmy scratched his head a little. After thinking about it, he called Agent Lei.

Ray: "Jimmy, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Ray, I want to ask, can you apply for aerial photos?"

Ray was silent. What is going on? What case is Jimmy dealing with that requires the use of aerial photos?

Ray: "Why?"

Jimmy: "I am dealing with several related disappearance cases, but there is no complete map of the terrain here. I need to take photos from the air to determine the terrain here."

Lei: "I'll call you later." After saying that, Lei hung up the phone and immediately dialed Supervisor Lambert's number.

The two chatted for a while, but Lambert didn't refuse and made arrangements directly.

Ray dialed Jimmy's number again, "Lambert agrees, please give me the coordinates."

Jimmy: "Great, thank you, Ray. By the way, how long does it take to take aerial photos?"

Lei: "If it's urgent, just a few hours."

Jimmy: "OK, I'm in Tata Town on the state line. I'll take the trouble and have them send it to the Tata Town police station."

Ray: "I know."

Jimmy called Cha De and they returned to the police station together. In fact, there was nothing gained from the on-site investigation. Jimmy had carefully checked the entire forest. If there was anything special, he would definitely find it. However, neither Cha De nor Jimmy found anything.

Discover.

Jimmy is now waiting for aerial photos to confirm his judgment. This is probably not an ordinary disappearance case, but a supernatural case.

By the evening, there was still no contact, and Jimmy was too lazy to wait any longer. He went directly out of the police station and went to the restaurant to finish his meal. At the end of the day, a police motorcycle came to Tata Town with its lights and sirens on. Jimmy was across the street.

He glanced at the window without paying attention, and soon his phone rang.

When Jimmy returned to the police station, it turned out that the police motorcycle just came to deliver photos. The aerial photos had been developed and packed in a cylinder. After Jimmy signed for them, the policeman on the motorcycle turned around and returned.

Jimmy returned to his desk, opened the cylinder, took out a dozen photos from it, and based on the coordinates Jimmy reported, he took a circle of several hundred meters around his coordinates.

After laying out the photos on the table, combine them according to the terrain, cut off some excess parts, and piece together a complete map.

Jimmy looked at the photos. He took photos of the small lake in the north of the town, the Red River, and the woods on both sides. He compared this terrain with the map he found. The map he found was not accurate and still had deviations.

Jimmy asked Officer Nora to borrow some red thread. This kind of red thread is used when measuring ballistics. The police station has a lot of it. He fixed the photo on the table with thumbtacks, marked the place where the crime occurred, and then wrapped the red thread around it. Jimmy held it

The ruler measured the distance between the crime scene and the Red River, and finally determined that except for the case on the river bank, the other three cases were basically at the same distance from the Red River, and based on the time, the fourth case, Akins

The missing location is the farthest, but the distance difference is not big.

In addition, I don’t know if it’s a problem with the aerial photos. Jimmy found that the plants near the Red River are a little greener than those far away. You can’t tell if you just look at the river. If compared with other areas in the north of Tata Town far away from the Red River,

, it looks very abnormal here.

Following the color difference of the green plants in the photo, Jimmy drew a new picture. Although it was not a circle, it could still be seen as a roughly regular fan shape, and the center of the circle was the corner of Red River.

Jimmy put the pen on the photo, sat in the chair and began to sigh.

Damn it, this case is over. This aerial photo has completely verified Jimmy’s idea. These cases are almost supernatural cases. Judging from the scope that has been drawn now, there is definitely something special about the corner of Red River.

Troublesome stuff.

It would be better if there were aerial photos taken a few months ago for comparison, but unfortunately, there is no such condition.

Jimmy looked at the police station and found that he hadn't gone back yet, probably because Jimmy was still there. Jimmy picked up the phone and dialed Agent Lei again.

Ray: "Jimmy, have you received the photo?"

Jimmy: "Yeah, I got it. Thanks, Ray."

Lei: "That's good. Is there anything else?"

Jimmy: "I have one more small request. Can you check for me if there are any previous satellite photos here in Tata Town?"

Ray: “Aren’t aerial photos enough?”

Jimmy: "I just wanted to make a comparison. There must have been no aerial photos before. For comparison, satellite photos should be easier."

Lei: "I'll check it out, but I don't have much hope. It's too remote over there."

Jimmy: "Thanks, Ray."

Ray was also unlucky. He was recovering at home and still couldn't escape being tortured by Jimmy. He sighed and asked his family to bring the laptop. He had enough permissions to check some information. Jimmy was not an agent from the Dallas office and did not have an account to use.

.

Jimmy tidied up, said hello to Sheriff Chad, left the police station and returned to the motel.

After packing up his equipment, Jimmy sat on the bed and leaned against the bedside to think about it. Finally he decided to call Roland. Fortunately, he exchanged phone numbers when he went to see Roland last time, otherwise he would have to drive again.

.

Roland: "This is Idris."

Jimmy: "Roland, I'm Jimmy."

Roland: "Jimmy, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Well, I need your help. I'm near the border of Texas and Oklahoma. There are several missing cases here, but according to the existing clues, there should be a supernatural case happening here."

Roland: "Devil?"

Jimmy: "It's not clear yet. We can only determine the center point of the supernatural event."

Roland: "Jimmy, you can't rely on others for help with everything. Try to handle it yourself. Remember what we said? Your Shining should be able to do it."

Jimmy was speechless. He couldn't handle this kind of case independently for the first time.

Jimmy: "But I still don't know what's going on here."

Roland: "If there is any danger, call for official support. The FBI has its own team dedicated to handling such incidents."

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll try it first. Goodbye, Roland."

Roland: "Goodbye."

Roland hung up the phone and looked at the abandoned house in front of him. He hadn't been here for a long time. The last time he came to this world from the Dark Tower world was with Jack Chambers.

Putting away the phone, Roland arranged his windbreaker and gun holster, and walked into the house that had been abandoned for many years.

Jimmy hung up the phone and took out a map from his briefcase. Although he found that the map given by the Sheriff was not accurate, Jimmy still drew a circle on it to find the abnormal range found in the photo. Looking at the map carefully, Jimmy still found that the map was not accurate.

Decided to go to the corner of Red River during the day tomorrow to have a look.

After locking the door, Jimmy went to take a shower, lay in bed early, and watched TV while waiting for sleep.

In the middle of the night, Jimmy was woken up again. He still had the same feeling of heart palpitations. This time Jimmy had experience. He picked up the revolver from under the pillow and used his inner eye to explore the surrounding environment. Still nothing was found. The room next to him and the corridor in front were still quiet.

Nothing unusual.

Jimmy stood up and sat up, recalled his position, and then looked to the north. During the day, it was basically confirmed that a supernatural case occurred here, so the current heart palpitations can be explained. The thing causing the heart palpitations should be in the Red River to the north.

There at the corner.
