North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 297 Investigate Jimmy?

Jimmy and the others parked the police car and moved the box to the evidence room of the police station for temporary storage. It would not be possible to rely on a few police officers to identify this kind of thing. They would need to contact a museum or school laboratory to handle it.

Several people were a little frightened and did not go home to eat. Instead, they went to the restaurant together. In order to express his apology, Jimmy took the initiative to pay the bill. The three police officers were frightened because Jimmy fired the gun inexplicably.

After returning to the police station in the afternoon, the satellite photos that Lei arranged to send also arrived. They were sent by the motorcycle police. I don’t know how many favors Lei had to do to get someone to send them over urgently. He made two trips in two days. Is this the police?

courier.

The matter of the boxes was temporarily left to Chad and the others. Jimmy laid out the satellite photos on the table. There were only photos from January and July. The photos in January were of little reference value because of the color difference in winter photos of local plants and buildings.

It's so serious, you can see it in the photos from July.

It can be seen from the satellite photos that the color of the woods is inconsistent with other parts. Jimmy carefully distinguished the color of the woods. It seems that only about the northern half of the woods are slightly darker. Because of the scale of the satellite photos, it is not visible in this satellite photo.

There is no clear color dividing line, and there is no way to draw an outline to confirm where the center of the circle is.

Comparing yesterday's aerial photos, the color of the woods is consistent, and the color change has expanded to a position further south. So can we think that this color change was completed in a short few months?

According to Jimmy's inference from yesterday's aerial photos, the central area of ​​the supernatural outbreak should be at the corner of Red River. The source of the strange thread discovered now is an underground iron box in the forest. Is there any connection between the two places?

The fog today floated from the Red River. Judging from the direction of the fog, the target of the fog should be the box they opened. Maybe the supernatural phenomena in the Red River are related to the box in the woods?

Jimmy sat down, leaned back on the chair and began to think about the fog he encountered at noon. He was now sure that his attack was indeed effective, but it was not particularly obvious. The white spots seen by the mind's eye should be the supernatural weakness.

After he hit the white spot, the fog did partially dissipate.

But it seems that the mist doesn't have very powerful means, and it doesn't move very fast. If this is a supernatural event, I should be able to handle it easily.

In fact, there is also a possibility that the target of the fog is the box, and it was not originally intended to deal with Jimmy. What if it is suppressed by the sun during the day? Looking at it this way, it seems that it can only be dealt with during the day.

Look at the time, it's no longer time to go to Red River to investigate. When you get there, it will be evening soon, so you can only go tomorrow. But you can't waste this time. You have to prepare for everything in advance.

It's called being prepared, right?

He found Cha De: "Cha De, can you help me find a set of diving equipment?"

Zha had a question mark on his face: "What do you need diving equipment for?"

Jimmy: "I want to go to Red River tomorrow."

Chad looked at Jimmy and blinked, then thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Jimmy: "Thank you. You continue to investigate the box. I'll go back first."

Cha De looked at Jimmy leaving the office and was really confused. Since Jimmy came here, except for a few on-site investigations, the rest of his actions have no correlation at all. Moreover, there was an inexplicable shooting today.

The behavior is really weird.

Speaking of Jimmy's shooting, I'm still a little scared now. This was the first time he saw someone using a revolver to fire at the rate of a semi-automatic pistol. Although Jimmy had his back to them at the time, he couldn't see Jimmy loading.

The speed, but just from the sound interval of each round of gunshots, they knew that Jimmy's reloading speed was definitely beyond their imagination.

Such an FBI agent is not easy to mess with. He can hide as far away as possible. He thought about it, picked up the phone and called the FBI Dallas office again.

Jimmy returned to the hotel and lay down to rest early. He had already suffered from heart palpitations twice. He did not wait for the normal bedtime, but fell asleep early to avoid being woken up again and unable to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Jimmy was woken up again, but he looked at the time and saw that it was just after 12 o'clock. No, why was it two hours earlier?

Jimmy turned on the light and sat up, still observing the surroundings carefully, then changed his clothes and went out.

Jimmy drove to the north of the town, but before he drove very far, he was shocked. When passing by the police station, he suddenly found threads in the air.

Jimmy turned around and entered the parking lot in front of the police station. The lights were on inside the police station, and it seemed that people were on duty at night. Jimmy came to the door of the police station and knocked on the door. Officer Hayden came from the right side of the hall.

He walked over, holding the handle of the gun in his right hand, and shining a flashlight in his left hand.

Hayden: "Agent Jimmy, it's you."

Hayden turned off the flashlight and opened the door to let Jimmy in. "What's the matter?"

Jimmy: "It's nothing, I just couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come to the police station to get some information and take it back."

Hayden: "Well, your information is all on the table, no one has touched it."

Jimmy: "Thank you." He walked to the table and started to pack up the photos and case files. Of course, his eyes were not idle. The threads scattered in the police station were indeed denser. Judging from the density, the center should be the evidence room on the second floor.

.

It's strange. The thread in the box had clearly disappeared during the day, so why did it appear again?

Jimmy packed up the information, said hello to Hayden, left the police station, got in the car, and drove towards the dirt road north of the town.

This kind of silk thread should not be dangerous. Nothing happened to the two campers before. Moreover, judging from the satellite photos, the abnormal situation has been going on for a while. If something happened, it would not be better than this night.

Jimmy's target is the fog, and the source of the fog is the Red River. If the fog's target is the box, and it's night, the fog should be out.

Jimmy had just left the town and hadn't driven very far when he suddenly stopped the car. The fog was floating in front of him, but he was no longer heading towards the town. Now the fog was only a few meters away from Jimmy. Even so close, both parties were still in peace.

Jimmy looked at the fog and couldn't help being stunned.

No, it’s not that the mist has stopped moving forward, but that it has reached the limit of distance. It seems that the ability of the “thing” in Red River is not unlimited. The box is what it wants, but because the distance is too far, it exceeds the limit of its ability.

As a result, the fog can only reach here.

Jimmy turned the front of the car and rushed directly to the farmland on the side of the road. Not long after driving sideways, the position of the fog changed. Jimmy's expression changed. He circled half a circle around the fog. Before Jimmy had time to turn the edge of the fog,

After all the areas were determined, the fog suddenly recovered rapidly to the north, and the fog quickly disappeared out of Jimmy's field of vision.

Jimmy waited there for a long time, and the fog never appeared again. It was a new phenomenon. He was lucky today. Fortunately, he came out to see it. He turned the car back to the road and drove back to the hotel.

Early the next morning, after the sun came up, Jimmy left the hotel, had breakfast, and went to the police station to see how the diving equipment he had found was ready.

However, the investigation came very late today. Jimmy waited at the police station for more than two hours and arrived at the police station after 10 o'clock. Moreover, he did not come alone.

Jimmy stood up: "Director Lambert, why are you here?"

Yes, the person who followed Chad into the police station was Lambert, the head of the FBI's Dallas office, and there was another agent beside him, Special Agent Sam Burton, who had previously handled the armored truck robbery.

Lambert: "Well, let me take a look at the progress of your case. How is it? Is there a conclusion?"

Jimmy: "There are some ideas, but there is no final conclusion yet."

Lambert: "It's okay. I've found some clues. Please tell me."

Jimmy fell silent. Strictly speaking, this case meant that he had never thought about how to write a report. Since he became aware of the supernatural events, Jimmy no longer cared about the case itself. All his attention was on the supernatural events.

All the content he investigates is based on supernatural events, including aerial photos and satellite photos.

Lambert: "Why do you need diving equipment?"

Jimmy: "I want to look in the Red River to see if there are any clues."

Lambert: "So you suspect that they fell into the water and drowned, and their bodies were not found, so they disappeared, right?"

Jimmy shook his head. He looked at the people next to him, and finally decided to explain the current progress to Lambert, but definitely not to everyone in public.

Jimmy looked at Chad: "Chief Chad, is there a quiet room here?"

Cha De looked at Lambert, turned to Jimmy and nodded, "Second floor."

Jimmy: "Director Lambert, let's go over and talk, just us."

Cha De led them to an office on the second floor. It was an empty office. The room next to it was the evidence room. There was no one else here.

Lambert watched as Chad closed the door. The footsteps outside gradually faded away. There should be no one else around.

Jimmy looked around to make sure there was no one. He asked Lambert: "Director Lambert, this case is very troublesome. I don't think I can write a complete case report. According to my current investigation results,

These disappearances should not be caused by humans."

Lambert: "You said it was not done by humans, right? What's the reason?"

Jimmy: "Before I joined the FBI, I participated in a church exorcism ceremony." After Jimmy said this, Lambert's eyes suddenly narrowed. Jimmy had been looking at Lambert. This expression, Lambert knew

Something.

Jimmy: "I can see some special things, inhuman things. After I came to Tata Town, I haven't had a good sleep for the past three or four days. I am awakened by a feeling of heart palpitations every night. Tata Town

There is something strange north of Tower Town."

Jimmy took out the photo from his briefcase, "This is the aerial photo I applied for two days ago. Look here, at the border I drew, the plants on the north side of Tata Town have obvious color differences. Even the same plants, along this line

The colors are different on the north and south sides of the line, and I found the center of their circles, here, at a corner of the Red River."

Then he took out the satellite photo sent yesterday: "This is a satellite photo from July this year. Although it is not very obvious, looking at this forest, which is the forest where the fourth disappearance case occurred, there are obvious differences in the color of the forest."

Jimmy pointed out to Lambert the reconnaissance of the photos he had taken in the past two days. Lambert said nothing, lowering his head to look at the photos with Jimmy.

Lambert: "Anything else?"

Jimmy: "I dug out a box in this forest yesterday. There was a skull and some other things in it. I'm waiting for the Sheriff to do an appraisal because the box is quite old and has nothing to do with our disappearance case.

It had nothing to do with it, so I didn’t take over.”

Lambert: "Well, I probably understand. So, can you explain why you suddenly shot into the air yesterday?"

Seeing that Jimmy didn't speak, Lambert continued: "I came here today not because of the case, but because of you. What happened to make you shoot like crazy?"

Jimmy: "I see things they don't see."

Lambert looked at Jimmy, put his arm around Jimmy's shoulders, and put his head close to Jimmy's ear, "Are you sure you saw something they couldn't see? Are you not in good spirits and need to go to the hospital?"

Jimmy shook his head slightly: "I'm normal, I'm very sure, sir."

Lambert let go of Jimmy: "OK, I get it."

Lambert took out the phone, found a number and dialed, "Father Holden, this is Lambert."

"Yes, I may need to trouble you to bring someone to Tata Town, the Tata Town next to the state border."

"Of course, it would be best if we could arrive as soon as possible. Thank you very much."

Lambert hung up the phone and said to Jimmy: "I believe in you, and I hope you won't let me down. Let's go and wait for someone to come over."

Jimmy tidied up the photos on the table, put them in his briefcase, and went downstairs with Lambert. Downstairs, Agent Sam Burton was sitting in the seat before Jimmy with his eyes closed.

It's not a good thing to pull here. It's quite tiring to get up early and have to be a driver.

Sam saw Lambert and the others coming down and stood up. Lambert waved his hand, and they sat in the waiting area of ​​the hall, waiting for Father Horton's arrival.
