North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 304 How to arrange?

Jimmy was placed on leave again. Hughes said that if he waited for the notice, it might not be possible in a short while, so after returning home, Jimmy changed his clothes and went out.

However, before he had gone far, he received a call and asked Dr. Mary to report for five days of psychological adjustment.

Jimmy was speechless. The FBI really had sufficient funds. Even though he knew there was nothing wrong with him, he still went to Mary to report it. You must know that Mary's charges are not cheap.

Five days of psychological adjustment plus the weekend equals a little more than a week's leave, which is fine. You don't have to pay for it anyway, and the administrative leave is paid, so you won't suffer any loss.

Jimmy first contacted Dr. Mary to confirm the time, and then went straight to Chinatown. Taking advantage of his Chinese appearance, he asked some old people about it and found an old tea shop.

Although I came here to buy tea for the first time and didn’t understand anything, I could ask the boss about it. Expensive tea is definitely better than cheap tea. I also asked for some brewing tips.

Jimmy had lunch in a tea room, took a short break in the afternoon and went straight to Mary's studio.

Jimmy and Mary sat on the sofa. Jimmy made tea by himself, Lapsang Souchong. The quantity was not large. Jimmy didn't know if Mary liked it, so he just took a small box.

According to the tea shop owner, even though Jimmy was making tea for the first time, he could barely make it in a decent way. Of course, it was impossible to expect it to be any better.

After Jimmy washed the tea, he only made boiling water for a few seconds before pouring it into a fair cup. He poured a cup for Mary, "The taste is okay. It seems that even if you haven't been exposed to it since childhood, you can still quickly accept the skill of making tea."

, much better than the first time I made tea.”

Mary put down the cup and said it was OK. Jimmy also poured himself a cup. He didn't know much about tea, but he could only say that it tasted good and acceptable. This must have nothing to do with his own technique. The tea was inherently good.

Mary looked at Jimmy and said, "What did you do again? Hughes called me and said he was going to arrange for you to undergo psychological adjustment again?"

Jimmy: "You know Ruiz, right? Ruiz and I went on a mission, we just started fighting, nothing happened except that Ruiz was unlucky to get shot."

Mary: "Oh? How many are this time?"

Jimmy: "Not many, maybe 3 or 4. You know, I don't really care about them."

Jimmy actually treats his mind as a plug-in most of the time. During gunfights, his operations are actually more like playing FPS games, CS, and Half-Life. He may have been stressed before, but as he played more times, he became more and more comfortable.

.

Mary: "Well, what do you think?"

Jimmy: "I have no idea. The situation at the scene. If I had kept my hand, you might have received the news today that I had been killed. The life of an agent is full of accidents, and no one can control himself to be so lucky all the time."

Mary: "You haven't passed the novitiate period yet, right?"

Jimmy: "Well, there are still 2 months to go. It's not a big problem. I don't think Hughes will prevent me from becoming a regular employee. It's hard to find a good employee like me."

The two were chatting and drinking tea, and suddenly there was a knock on the door. Jimmy was surprised that someone knocked on the door when the psychiatrist was receiving guests. This was not common. Normally, they would avoid such a thing because it might

It will seriously affect the guest's psychological state.

Mary and Jimmy turned to look over, OK, familiar, Jenna walked in from outside, carrying a few paper bags in her hands, it looked like she was going shopping.

When Jenna saw Jimmy, she put the bag next to Mary's table and said, "Oh, lucky boy, why are you here?"

Jimmy: "Good afternoon, Jenna."

Jenna came to the sofa area and sat down with Mary. Mary took a cup from the side and poured her a cup of tea.

Jenna took a sip and said, "You changed the tea leaves."

Mary: "Jimmy brought it here."

Jenna: "Well, it's not bad. What are you talking about?"

Jimmy: "Just a casual chat. It's a rare day off, so I came here to have tea."

Jenna frowned and looked at Jimmy: "Are you FBI so idle?"

Jimmy shrugged and spread his hands: "I may be special and have more holidays."

Jenna: "Okay, what are you going to do on your vacation?"

Jimmy: "I haven't thought about it yet. The vacation came too suddenly. Maybe I will do some big shopping. What about you?"

Jenna: "We don't have as much free time as you, of course we have to work."

Jimmy: "Well, it seems I'm the only one with nothing to do, so I can only go shopping. You guys chat, Mary, I'll go back first."

After Jimmy finished speaking, he stood up, straightened his clothes, picked up his cowboy hat from the side and prepared to leave. Mary and Jenna also stood up to see him off.

The reason why Jimmy left directly was because he discovered something special just now. There was a ring on Mary's hand. Jimmy had noticed it when the two were chatting before, but he didn't take it seriously. Wait until Jenna came over and sat on Mary's hand.

When he was standing by, he realized something was wrong. Jenna also had a ring on her hand. Their two rings were of the same style. This was too obvious. Well, it was better to leave as soon as possible instead of being a light bulb.

In fact, when I attended the dinner between the two of them before, I felt that something was not quite right, but it was not particularly obvious at that time, but today's scene is basically certain.

The agent was very helpful and quickly provided several properties, as well as another two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment that was very worth buying. For some reasons, this apartment was about to be repossessed by the bank and had not yet entered into the process.

Jimmy is very interested. This is a condo apartment in the Upper West Side. It is owned and only one block away from Central Park. The location is very good. Although the price is more expensive, it is not a big problem.

The two made an appointment to take a look. This apartment building was from the 1980s. It did not look that glamorous from the outside, but for an area like the Upper West Side, it was pretty good. At least there were no steel fire escapes outside the building, which was safer.

Much higher.

In front of the door is the living room, with an open kitchen on the right, and a passage leading to two rooms on the left. There is a bathroom with a shower room on the left side of the passage, and next to it is a very narrow space. The upper and lower parts can just fit a washing machine and dryer.

Dryer, yes, Jimmy paid special attention to this. This apartment has been renovated, and clothes can be washed and dried in the room without having to go to the public laundry room, which is very attractive to Jimmy.

The right side is the side bedroom. At the end of the passage is the door of the master bedroom. There is a bathroom with a bathtub in the master bedroom. There is also a dressing room next to it. The master bedroom also has a cabinet against the wall. The middle is empty, which should be the location of the TV.

, the living room and the master bedroom and the second bedroom all have large windows with good lighting.

After looking at the apartment, Jimmy learned about the local taxes and property fees here. The surrounding supporting facilities were also good. Of course, the most important point is that there is a third-party parking lot not far from the apartment building, which is very close and convenient.

In the end, Jimmy decided to take over the apartment and let the agent communicate. Purchasing the apartment could not be completed in a day or two because Jimmy needed a loan, so the overall process was longer and could be delayed for more than a month.

The intermediary is cooperating with the FBI, so many things can be simplified, and they are experienced. Jimmy found a transfer lawyer, and the lawyer and the intermediary cooperated to promote it.

With the help of an agent, Jimmy finally bought this apartment for 1.1 million, which was much cheaper than other apartments in the same location. He was also lucky, as the previous owner was in urgent need of funds.

He does not have so much cash to pay now and needs to go through the loan process. Fortunately, for customers like Jimmy, the qualifications are definitely no problem, but it will take a long time to go through the bank review process and loan issuance.

These matters were handed over to lawyers and agents. Jimmy only signed for confirmation at critical times. After a few days of busy work, Jimmy's vacation was over.

Returning to the office after a long absence, Jimmy tragically discovered that he still had to continue to be in a daze in the tea room. From now on, he might as well call himself "the man who lives in the tea room".

Fortunately, Hughes didn't let Jimmy wait too long and still arranged for Ruiz. The gang problem is a long-standing problem in New York, and Jimmy can be regarded as a professional counterpart. However, Ruiz is still resting now, and Jimmy is just assigning

Find the location and continue to look at the information.

There are too many FBI files and they are too complicated. Now that Jimmy has settled down in New York, he calms down and carefully records the contents of these files.

Time came to December, and Jimmy's internship period was finally coming to an end. As the "best newcomer" in the bureau, Jimmy was completely played to death by Hughes and others during this period.

Since Ruiz returned to the office after recuperation, Jimmy has not handled any gang cases. He is like a puppet on strings, being instructed by Hughes to run back and forth between various departments, cooperating with the publicity department as a young student to visit the FBI base and

office, and arranged for some lucky people to participate in simulation training, cooperate with the federal marshals in security tasks, and protect people. They were transferred to the NYPD to work as liaison officers for a period of time, and even went to the FBI evidence warehouse to work as a warehouse manager for a few days, and were interviewed every day.

For massive evidence and goods, register items, arrange evidence transportation...

In the past two months, Jimmy has been like a panacea. He will be arranged to go wherever there is a free time. Of course, this has also resulted in Jimmy not gaining anything at all during this period. Apart from going to the shooting range to practice shooting, he does not even have the opportunity to shoot a gun at other times.

without.

Roland actually has a lot of troubles. Ever since Jimmy called Jimmy once when he was dealing with the ghost in the river in Dallas, he has never been able to contact him again. The phone has always been unreachable.

Jimmy even contacted Thorsten to help him visit Roland's cabin. Roland still hadn't come back. A thick layer of dust had fallen on the corridor outside the cabin. If someone lived there, it would have been cleaned up quickly.

The Continental Hotel finally contacted Jimmy. As a registered service provider, they hoped that he could provide some people's information. However, because Jimmy did not have system permissions yet, they could only refuse. Justin also contacted him once, but there was no contact for a long time.

, just make a phone call and chat, there is no additional side job to do.

The relationship between Mary and Jenna is indeed what Jimmy guessed. Well, it's a personal choice. Although the two beauties are a waste of resources, Jimmy doesn't care much.

Fortunately, there is some good news. With the efforts of the agent and lawyer, Jimmy got the apartment and has moved in. He also contacted Amy in Little Rock to help find a shipping company to ship his Mercury Tracker.

New York.

Although Jimmy is not short of money now, he still doesn't want to throw away his first car, which is considered nostalgic. This blue Mercury still plays its role. When Jimmy does not have a car, it is his perfect substitute.

tool.

The lawyer in Little Rock also helped find a part-time lawyer in New York to help Jimmy handle the tax and financial affairs in New York, because the laws of each state are different. Since you are settling in New York, you must have a local lawyer.

Lawyers assisted in the matter, and the Little Rock side only dealt with the company he left behind.

Jimmy finally received a call from Hughes and returned to his Manhattan office. He went directly to Hughes's office.

Hughes: "Jimmy, you go outside and wait a moment, there's still one person who hasn't arrived yet."

After a while, a middle-aged and elderly detective with gray hair walked into Hughes' office.

Hughes came to the office door and asked Jimmy to come in, "Jimmy, this is Special Agent Chris Walker. You can follow him."

Jimmy stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chris Walker: "Nice to meet you, Jimmy Young. I just finished my internship."

Chris: "Chris Walker."

Hughes: "Okay, you can go out."

Chris took Jimmy out of Hughes' office and went to another office.

Chris: "Jimmy, you can find a seat wherever you want, there are only two of us in this office."

Jimmy: "Okay, let's take the nearest table. Chris, what case are we responsible for?"

Chris: "Homicide Division, the cases we have here are mainly cases transferred from surrounding police stations. You need to settle down first and look at the information. There are no cases that need to be handled at the moment."

After Chris finished speaking, he sat down behind his desk and started to turn on the computer and look at it.

With a confused look on his face, Jimmy left the office to find Jones, where he kept all the things he had left in the office.

Is Hughes about to retire? Is his brain no longer functioning well?

Previously, you had arranged to work with Peter on white-collar crime cases, then with Ruiz on organized crime cases, then wander around in various departments, and wait until the internship was over to join the homicide unit?

Isn't this too childish? If you knew you were coming to the homicide unit, shouldn't you have made arrangements in advance to come in and get familiar with it?

Jimmy carried a cardboard box back to the office, placed his things on the table, and put the files in the drawer below.

Here are the certificates of commendation he received from the USSS, the badge of the Pulaski County Honorary Constable, photos of himself when he was a county police officer, etc., all of which have been framed and can be placed directly on the table.

Jimmy looked at the table, turned on the computer, and said to Chris: "Chris, one more thing, I don't have a system account yet."

Chris: "It will be assigned. You can check your mailbox later. By the way, take a look at this case first."

Chris took a folder from his desk and gave it to Jimmy.
