North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 325 Roland’s Gift

After the Secret Service arrived, they arranged for the Vice President to leave as soon as possible. The previous agents had already taken the first aid kit from his car and treated him once. Of course, it was only emergency treatment. In fact, the normal time should be when Jimmy arrived.

The agent arranged to take the vice president to the hospital immediately, but there were only two people at the scene, the agent and Jimmy. Jimmy couldn't guarantee whether something would happen to him.

The Secret Service began to investigate the scene and also conducted interviews with Jimmy. It was easier for Jimmy to explain. He had a taxi record, and the car had been driving around Evanston for a long time, and the Vice President was not there when he arrived.

He was in a coma and knew exactly when Jimmy arrived, so he simply asked and ended this part of his story.

As for the other agent, it's not that simple. I don't know if he has reconciled his testimony with the Vice President. Although Jimmy doesn't remember much, this guy should be an agent of the CIA. Their own internal problems have led to the current situation.

If a series of issues are not communicated well and loopholes in the testimony appear, it will be interesting.

Jimmy found Tom who was busy: "Tom, do you still need me here?"

Tom looked at Jimmy: "What's wrong?"

Jimmy: "I mean, you are doing the investigation now. If there is nothing else, can I return to New York first? I don't think I can be of much help now, right?"

Tom frowned and looked at Jimmy, then turned to look at his colleagues who were investigating: "Let's wait a few more days. You can go back to the hotel and wait for notification."

Jimmy nodded: "OK, you have my phone number, call me anytime if you need it."

Vice President Standu was also unlucky. Not long after he took office, he was bombed once in Little Rock. He was kidnapped again and shot when he was about to leave office. As the vice president and heir to a high position, he has rich experience.

.

Jimmy returned to the hotel to rest. It looked like he wouldn't leave Chicago for a while. He just stayed in the hotel. The Secret Service would contact him at any time. The same operation had already happened once in Little Rock.

, that time he was investigated and questioned by people from the Secret Service.

A week later, Jimmy was completely liberated. The Secret Service's final report had not yet been released, but people who had nothing to do with the case could already leave. Jimmy had been making soy sauce, so on the Secret Service's side, Jimmy was only questioned.

After two rounds, he was let go. He couldn't wait to buy a plane ticket and fly back to New York, never to come to Chicago again.

The Vice President returned to DC to recuperate. In addition to leaving an investigation team in Chicago, the Secret Service also returned to its headquarters for internal investigation. Everything is fine.

On his way back, Jimmy bought another phone, sent a message to Tom, and then went home to rest. On Monday, Jimmy returned to the office where he had been away for a long time.

"Hi, Chris, how are you doing?" Jimmy greeted Chris with a smile. This business trip lasted for more than a week, and it seemed that he spent far less time in the office than outside.

Chris was enjoying his first cup of coffee in the morning, and then his good mood was disturbed by Jimmy.

"Hey, you still know that this is your office. Have fun playing outside." Chris said angrily. He put down the coffee cup and looked at Jimmy, "Why do I feel like you are fat?"

Jimmy stood up immediately, buttoned up his suit and turned it around. Fortunately, the suit still fit him, "No, it looks fine."

"Okay, since you don't feel fat yourself, so be it. Work hard when you get back. Here you go." Chris handed over a file.

"About what?" Jimmy asked as he opened the file, glanced at the photo at the front and closed it.

"FxxK, you did it on purpose." Jimmy yelled at Chris, and the unscrupulous old man grinned so loudly.

Generally, the front of the file is a photo of the suspect or the victim, either a life photo or an ID photo. In this file, the photo at the front is a half-rotten corpse. Judging from the photo, the soil on the ground was dug up.

After that, there is a corpse. There is no coffin or other obstruction, and it is rotten and infested with maggots. I won’t describe it in detail, so as not to eat.

The impact of such photos was really strong. Jimmy was completely unprepared to see such photos and almost vomited.

Reopening the file, turning the photos over and placing them on the table, he began to read the on-site investigation report below.

The identity of the deceased is unknown. The body was found in the woods of a park. Due to the abnormality of a pet dog, the dog owner followed the pet dog to the burial ground. Since the smell had begun to emit, the dog owner discovered that there was something abnormal here and called the police to dig it up.

came out.

The gender of the corpse was determined to be female. There were no items such as clothing or jewelry around. The bones of the corpse were intact and there were no fractures. Due to the high degree of decomposition of the skin and muscles, the cause of death could not be confirmed normally. Forensic examination of the slightly intact internal organs revealed that the results tended to be asphyxiation.

There is visceral congestion, and the method of suffocation cannot be inferred for the time being. Judging from the degree of decomposition of the body and the current temperature, the body has been buried underground for more than a week, and the specific time cannot be determined.

"Why do we give us such a case? This should be something the NYPD should handle. Is there anything special?" Jimmy turned to look at Chris, hoping to give him some tips.

"Well, the NYPD is handling it. I brought the information here for you to take a look at. How about it? Based on the current clues, what do you think the next step should be?" Chris looked at Jimmy with a smile, waiting for the answer.

"Well, in this kind of case, the identity must be determined first, but it has already rotted like this, and the physical features should be gone. The best way is to check the dental records to see if there are any matching features. At the same time, record the DNA. If there is someone

Report a missing person case and conduct a DNA test with their relatives to match them.”

"Anything else?"

"Well, check the surrounding ground on site to see if there are other buried things. Because the body is naked, her clothes and jewelry were either taken away or buried nearby. Also, check if there is any transportation around.

It is a vehicle that can hold a corpse. When passing here, the corpse must have either happened nearby or been transported from outside. No matter what, the environment around the corpse must be carefully investigated."

"OK, the case still belongs to the NYPD, but you can go investigate." With a wave of his hand, Chris arranged Jimmy's task.

Jimmy blinked: "No, why should we intervene in a case that isn't ours? Speaking of which, do we really have no case ourselves?"

Chris nodded: "There are really no cases. The recent cases are handled by the NYPD itself. For this kind of single homicide case to come to our side, it must be very serious, or the victim is a federal employee. The proportion is really high

few."

Jimmy was speechless: "You should take a break if you don't have a case, really." Jimmy put the photo back into the file, put on his clothes and set off for Brooklyn.

This time it was an investigation, not a specific investigation of the case. Chris didn't come out at all, and Jimmy walked around alone, which can be regarded as cultivating his abilities.

Jimmy drove to Prospect Park and found the NYPD cordon in the woods by the lake. There were no police officers at the scene to maintain order, but because a body was found here, it was not an auspicious event, and no one came to watch.

Jimmy put on gloves and walked into the cordon with the file. Even though it was noon, he still felt a little cool here. He first came to the big pit where the corpses were excavated, and then opened his mind and started to observe. Something was wrong. In his mind's eye, something was wrong.

Inside, it seemed that the color dividing line appeared again. Jimmy walked outside and came to the color dividing line. It was invisible under normal vision, but in the mind's eye state, it could be seen that it was all gray, but close to the corpse

The area seems to be deeper, very slightly.

Jimmy began to move along the color dividing line, and finally determined that it was an irregular circle, not an ellipse, just like when he drew a circle casually, some waves appeared on the edge of the circle. Jimmy returned to the road and took the map from the car

When I came out, it was a pity that the scale of the map I brought was wrong. This was a map of New York. If it were a map of Manhattan, it would be easier to mark.

He looked at the scope of the park on the map, the protruding position by the lake, and the small forest area was not large. However, there was no way to make the circular mark he found on this map. The map was too small.

Returning to the location of the corpse, Jimmy continued to use his mind's eye to determine the location. There was no way to mark it on the map, so it was easier to just walk and determine the number of steps. He walked along the approximate diagonal. Here is a diameter of about 40 steps.

Irregular circle. According to the length of Jimmy's steps, the diameter of the circle should be about 30 meters and the radius is about 15 meters. The distance of Jimmy's step is about 70 centimeters.

After determining the length, Jimmy began to look for the center of the circle, and then looked for unusual things nearby. Until he carefully observed a square with a different color on the ground. It was not big. It seemed to be only 20cm long and a palm wide, about

About 10cm...

Jimmy did not start digging directly. He canceled his mind and began to observe the surrounding situation. The distance from here to the pit of the body was about 5 meters. It was impossible for the NYPD to miss this place during the investigation. However, they only observed the ground and did not

Go dig. Now it seems that this ground is no different from other places. If you start digging directly, will there be any trouble?

Jimmy came to the color dividing line observed by his heart's eye, first found a few wooden sticks and stuck them in the ground, marked the range, and then left the cordon.

The corpses have been here for several days. No matter what happens, nothing will happen in one day. Mark them first and come back tomorrow to see if there are any changes.

Jimmy took off his gloves and was about to leave when the phone rang.

Jimmy: "Who are you?"

A man's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Are you Jimmy? Jimmy Young?"

Jimmy: "Yes, who are you?"

The man said: "Roland asked me to send you a box. Where are you?"

Jimmy was silent for two seconds: "Which Roland are you talking about?"

The man said: "Dark Tower."

Jimmy: "I'm by the lake in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Come find me."

The person on the other end did not continue talking and hung up the phone directly. Jimmy was originally planning to leave, but now he should wait here.

Roland arranged to send a box. It was strange. Roland had sent two paintings to him by express delivery, and now he sent another box, but he himself disappeared for several months. What happened?

After waiting for more than half an hour, a black man carrying a box came to Jimmy's side. There were too few Asian men by the lake, and he was the only one at the moment.

Jimmy raised his hand and said hello: "I'm Jimmy Young. Did Roland tell me something?"

The black man said, "There is only this box. He said he was very tired and wanted to go home and rest. This is a parting gift for you." Then he handed the box to Jimmy.

Jimmy took the suitcase. It was not heavy. It looked like a big suitcase, but it actually only weighed a few kilograms. "Thank you. By the way, what's your relationship with Roland?"

The black man shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary person. I'm going back. Goodbye."

The black man turned and left, and Jimmy watched his back until he disappeared around the corner.

Jimmy trusted Roland very much. Since he sent it, it must be something important. Without opening the box outside, he drove directly back home. Although it was still a working day, it was okay to skip work occasionally.

Jimmy carefully checked around the box. There was nothing special, so he opened it. There were two revolvers facing each other inside, which were similar to Roland's guns. In the middle of the two guns, there was a crystal ball. They both

It was fixed to the bottom of the box with a belt. There was a piece of paper pressed under the handle of the gun. Jimmy took it out first and looked at it.

"Jimmy, I have returned to my hometown. I am old and don't want to leave here anymore. These are the two guns I found from the previous battlefield. They should be enough for you to use. I hope you can treat them well. I didn't expect

A way to enhance your physical fitness, so I found Black Rainbow, hoping it can be of some help to you. Roland Deshan"

Roland said before that he is not from this world. It seems that no matter who he is, he hopes that he can return to his roots when he gets old. What about you? Where are your roots?

Jimmy looked at the note left by Roland and felt inexplicably sad. He came to this world more than 3 years ago. Although he seemed to have integrated into the world, he was still somewhat uncomfortable. In fact, he had always drifted in this world.

, although I have experienced a lot, I have not rooted down my roots at all, and I don’t know where I can go when I get old.

Jimmy folded the note and put it aside. He took out a revolver and took a look. The bullet chamber was empty. He looked at the barrel. The rifling was clearly visible inside. It didn't look like there were many signs of wear, but judging from the appearance of the gun,

Judging from the above, the traces of use on it are very clear. It seems that this gun is the same as Roland's gun, and it is also made of sacred objects.

It just so happens that with them, Jimmy has the ability to fight against supernatural events such as ghosts. The premise is that this gun is really the same as the one used by Roland. It seems that Roland is still somewhat concerned about letting himself inherit the name of gunslinger.

I have some expectations, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked for two guns.

As for this crystal ball, Jimmy took it in his hand and looked over it. It seemed to be nothing special. It was similar to the crystal balls commonly seen in stores. The only abnormality was that the black material was flowing inside. It looked very mysterious, or weird.

.

Jimmy put away the gun and crystal ball, then took out the padding from under the box, took it to the safe, and placed and fixed the gun and crystal ball. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, this was Roland's gift.

Jimmy still needs to go back and buy a vernier caliper to measure the inner diameter of the revolver's magazine and barrel to determine what bullet to use.
