North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 333 Extra of the scrapped manuscript - the ending of the red flame battlefield in another time and space

Attention! Book friends who have not read the previous revised version should not subscribe to this chapter!

Preliminary summary: In the plot of Red Flame Battlefield, during the shootout in the underground kitchen of the hotel where the Vice President was kidnapped, because Victoria was shot, Jimmy was worried that she would be caught and might endanger his own safety, so he shot and killed Victoria in the melee.

While Jimmy was waiting for the result of the Secret Service's pursuit in the hotel, he heard a call from CIA agent William Cooper and followed him to the abandoned power plant. Jimmy approached Frank and the others from behind the factory. Since Victoria was missing, they killed the people brought by Alexander.

There was a time lag, causing the machine gunner in the car to shoot and kill Sarah.

When Frank and the others gathered around Sarah, Jimmy secretly attacked and killed three old men from the shadows. At the same time, William Cooper dodged and he shot and killed the Vice President, and then Jimmy shot and killed William Cooper.

——

Things were just as Jimmy thought. The scene was too chaotic. After initially sorting out the scene, Jimmy, as the only living person at the scene, was taken directly back to the Chicago office by the Secret Service, where he took off his weapons and was temporarily detained pending review.

At the same time, people from the Secret Service also notified the FBI headquarters and Manhattan office, and Hughes rushed directly to the Chicago office that afternoon.

This time the matter was too big, and the news had been temporarily blocked. Jimmy had already made a record, but he still could not leave. After Hughes arrived, accompanied by Secret Service agents, he communicated with Jimmy. Jimmy repeated

After reviewing the contents of his own transcript, Hughes left the detention room.

Jimmy didn't have anything to worry about. He had gone through the whole process in his mind many times. His biggest problems were two. One was that he failed to notify the Secret Service in time, and the other was that he killed the last three people, resulting in no confession.

, there is no way to connect the several parties present.

Frank and Marvin, former CIA agents, Ivan, former KGB, current Maozi embassy official, Cynthia and William Cooper, current CIA director and senior agent, Alexander Dunning, arms dealer, war broker, and a woman

Sarah, operator at the Retirement Administration.

I guess the people in the Secret Service are scolding me now. How can they have anything to do with the Vice President? Moreover, how these people have such confusing identities is a problem. The biggest trouble is actually Ivan, as an embassy official and diplomat.

, was involved in the case of kidnapping and assassinating the Vice President. No matter how you deal with it, it is impossible to solve it perfectly. It is not even ruled out that the embassy thinks that they deliberately framed it, thus causing diplomatic disputes.

The matter was not over yet. Soon Jimmy was arranged to take a special car to the airport. He arrived in DC via a special plane and was placed under house arrest in a safe house of the Secret Service. There were no channels for communication with the outside world, such as telephone calls.

No need to think about it, Jimmy could only watch TV and kill time on the sports equipment in the safe house. Hughes knew that Jimmy was about to be placed under house arrest, but he couldn't say anything. He just told Jimmy to pay attention to safety and returned.

to New York.

The President authorized the establishment of a special investigative committee to investigate the assassination of the Vice President. The chairman of the committee is a Supreme Court justice. The main members are senators from both parties in Congress, representatives from the House of Representatives, the Director of the FBI, the Director of the National Security Agency, and the Secret Service.

Bureau Chief. The target of the investigation is Jimmy and various personnel present at the scene.

The questioning of Jimmy basically takes place every few days. Each time, Jimmy is escorted by the Secret Service to a different location. The location where he is protected is kept confidential to prevent other problems.

The investigation of the case is not just for Jimmy, but other people at the scene are also under investigation. Through the identity background investigation of several people and the fire case that occurred at the Langley headquarters a few days ago, the battle between the FBI and them around the Dunning Villa has been re-opened.

After sorting out the complete process, the clues finally fell on Dunning and Vice President Stanton.

Three weeks later, the FBI finally completed the preliminary case investigation and review and submitted it to the Presidential Committee. After receiving the investigation report, the Presidential Committee opened four rounds of closed hearings, with various departments providing material testimony and the origin of the case.

The entire process from beginning to end was sorted out, and finally, more than two months after the case occurred, the Presidential Commission submitted an investigation report on the kidnapping and murder of Vice President Stanton to the president.

The main line of the case has been investigated very clearly. Cooper's last phone call provided by Jimmy notified Cynthia of the location and brought the girl. They investigated the phone records of Cooper and Cynthia and contacted Alexander Dunning from Cynthia.

Through the investigation of current CIA director Cynthia and senior agent William Cooper, Guatemala files were discovered in their offices, records of Sarah's previous interrogations at the CIA were also discovered, and the death of Joe Mathewson at Dunning Villa was re-examined.

Based on the identities of Frank and Marvin who died at the scene, the initial cause, course, and final result of the incident were finally determined.

When Alexander Dunning and Vice President Stanton were preparing for the election, due to an investigation by a New York Times reporter, they had come into contact with Alexander Dunning. They needed to clear their dark history and avoid being discovered, so they contacted CIA director Cynthia.

Cynthia arranged for the CIA's independent assassination team to assassinate people related to the Guatemala case in the United States. Frank and others eventually traced the case back to Dunning and Stanton.

Due to a mistake, the CIA caught Sarah, and Frank kidnapped the Vice President and asked to negotiate with them. In the end, the negotiation failed and they had an internal conflict. In the end, the people on the scene were killed by Frank and the others, and finally by Jimmy who followed William Cooper to the scene.

kill.

Several other actions involved in the overall case are documented, including Sarah calling the police and being kidnapped by Frank, Gabriel Singer being shot and killed at the airport when they found him, the Langley Building fire, and William Cooper being shot in the headquarters office.

During the shooting at Alexander Dunning's villa, William Cooper arranged for people to go to the house to investigate whether Frank had threatened his family.

In addition, the woman who was shot dead in the hotel kitchen was confirmed to be Victoria, a former MI6 agent. According to the information provided by MI6, Victoria had retired long ago. She had interacted with Frank, Ivan and others as colleagues during the Cold War. It is speculated that Frank requested her to

Private identity to help formulate a plan to kidnap the Vice President.

Ivan, who was shot dead at the scene, was communicated by the CIA and the Russian Federal Security Service, and it was concluded that Frank requested assistance and that Ivan participated in Frank's plan in a private capacity and had nothing to do with the Security Service.

In the entire investigation process of the case, current FBI special agent Jimmy Young was not involved. The only intersection was the killing of three people at the end.

Jimmy's recent whereabouts have been confirmed by the work records of the Dallas office, Director Lambert, Secret Service John Butler, and the Manhattan office in New York. During the entire process of the case, Jimmy was in New York, Dallas, Washington DC, and New York.

, several cities in Chicago, and several key nodes in the case occurred in Kansas, Virginia, Maryland, and Illinois respectively. He was not involved in the case at the time, and there was basically no overlap in the schedule.

Jimmy's reason for following Cooper to the power plant after hearing Cooper's phone call is also valid. The cases that Jimmy has handled for more than half a year, provided by the Manhattan office, Dallas office, and Little Rock office, all show that Jimmy has strong case-handling abilities and is very familiar with clues.

Judgment can be very accurate, especially the case provided by the Little Rock office about the shooting of County Sheriff James. Jimmy provided important clues based on the surveillance video in a short period of time and successfully found the gunman in the hospital. Although the gunman committed suicide, he did not

Jimmy's investigative and judgment skills cannot be denied.

Regarding the investigation that Jimmy killed three people with only 6 bullets, the FBI provided two pieces of evidence. One was Jimmy's outstanding marks in firearms shooting when he graduated from the FBI Academy, and the other was Jimmy's demonstration at the support force training base.

The target paper at that time had been carefully collected by the range administrator, and the team members who were watching at the time provided testimonies, confirming Jimmy's shooting skills. Things that had only been circulated in a small area in the past finally fell into the files.

After the hundreds of pages of the report were submitted to the president, the Presidential Commission provided a disguised and adjusted report for publication in the media, while the Presidential Commission's real investigation report and various evidence were sealed for 50 years in accordance with confidentiality requirements.

Only then can it be made public.

Jimmy was fine for the time being. The Secret Service returned Jimmy's phone, gun, and badge, and the Secret Service arranged a special plane to send him back to New York, back to his long-lost home.

After three months of house arrest, Jimmy finally landed safely. Because he destroyed the anonymous phone he used to communicate in advance and hid it, there are no records related to the people at the scene from the public information. In cooperation with Jimmy in recent years,

With a long history of killing various criminals, the FBI finally concluded that Jimmy could not be sure of safety because he was the only one at the scene, and it would take too much time to wait for Secret Service support, which would easily allow the kidnappers to escape, so they could only choose to kill three suspects to ensure

While ensuring safety, all persons involved will not be released.

Various kill records and several psychological analysis reports in the file provide a basis for judging Jimmy's excessive behavior. This is something Jimmy did not expect. Of course, it may also be that the FBI did not want to embarrass its own people at all. In this case

The biggest suspect is the CIA. As two major agencies that have never dealt with it, at a time like this, they must conduct a high-profile investigation, but the final conclusion is very favorable to Jimmy.

——

After Jimmy returned to the apartment, he looked at his little home and couldn't help but sigh. This time it was too risky.

The FBI investigation team had previously conducted a routine search of Jimmy's apartment, and Jimmy's safe had been opened by them. Fortunately, after Jimmy moved, there was no contraband in the safe. Although there was a Continental Hotel gold coin, it was not found in the safe.

It wasn't something related to the Vice President's case, so they didn't directly take it away and seal it.

Jimmy replaced a battery on his mobile phone. Since the Secret Service took away the phone, the battery has not been replaced and it has been turned off a long time ago. He took out the spare battery and replaced it. Unfortunately, there is no text message reminder for missed calls after turning on the phone. Jimmy

I don’t know who has contacted me in the past few months but has not been contacted.

I called Chris. After all, I had to go back to work after all. I had to tell him in advance that he would have to rest at home for a day or two before returning to the office.

After being under house arrest for so long, even though Jimmy came back, he didn't want to go out. He spent two days cleaning the room thoroughly, and Jimmy returned to the office.

"Jimmy, it seems that you have been doing well during this period. You have gained weight." Chris joked as soon as he saw Jimmy. He could only exercise in his room every day and did not go out. Three meals a day were delivered to him at regular intervals.

, it would be weird if he wasn’t fat.

Jimmy also responded with a smile: "Having someone take care of you every day is like entering a nursing home." He came to his seat and saw that the table was spotless. It looked like Chris had helped clean it.

Looking at the files on the table, which were from before he left, Jimmy picked up the missing case and asked: "How is this missing case going? It's been three months, and I still don't know the result."

Chris: "I didn't find it. The NYPD has sealed it. Give it back to me. I forgot to take it away."

Jimmy: "Okay, what should we do now? After being idle for so long, it's time to get active."

Chris: "Okay, don't worry, follow me to see Hughes later."

Jimmy nodded and went to Hughes' office with Chris.

Hughes briefly greeted Jimmy and asked him to wait outside for the time being. A few minutes later, Jimmy returned to Hughes' office and found out about his arrangement. Due to the sensitivity of the previous case, Jimmy needed to leave the investigation for the time being.

team, first transferred to the evidence room to work, waiting for the OPR evaluation before deciding whether to return to the homicide team.

It's OPR again. Although the case has come to an end for the time being, Jimmy is still an unstable factor for OPR in the Manhattan office. Jimmy has been investigated before, but those were all based on Jimmy's assets and suspected excessive force.

, now it is to evaluate Jimmy's involvement in major cases and whether he will be unable to perform his duties as an agent due to the case. To put it bluntly, it is to determine whether Jimmy should still remain in the detective team.

Jimmy nodded to express understanding and respect Hughes' arrangement. Chris stayed to continue talking with Hughes, while Jimmy went out to the evidence warehouse.

This is not the first time I have been here. Jimmy had already stayed here for a few days during his internship, but his mood now is different from that time.

The work here in the evidence room is relatively boring, including various numbering and storage of evidence, as well as temporary call inquiries, extraction of evidence, and transportation work when necessary. In short, the stable, boring, and repetitive work begins.

After returning from get off work, Jimmy passed by Chinatown and bought a bearer phone. He did not call directly, but sent a message to Tom's phone. It had been too long since he had not contacted him. I wonder if Tom still kept this number.

A few days later, Tom contacted Jimmy on another phone and sat on a bench in Central Park. The two chatted for a while while eating lunch. Tom already knew in advance that Jimmy had killed Frank and the others.

Although what Jimmy did was unreasonable, Tom didn't say anything. I don't know if it was Jimmy's misunderstanding, but Tom seemed to be in a very bad mood.

After a brief exchange of words, Tom left again. Every time I saw Tom, there were some changes. When it came to makeup skills, Tom was really strong. Except for young people who couldn't disguise themselves, middle-aged and old people of all styles could do it.

Very similar. If Jimmy hadn't been very familiar with him, it would have been difficult to recognize him at first glance.

When Jimmy returned home, he recalled Tom's slightly cold conversation just now and felt a little regretful. He was still impulsive at the time. For the so-called own safety, did he go too far to directly attack Frank and the others? After all, even Tom was only judging at the time.

The possibility of them being in danger is not certain. In any case, Frank is an acquaintance of Tom. Tom has helped him minimize the risk, but he did not consider his thoughts and made the wrong choice.

After pouring a glass of wine, he raised it to the window and whispered "I'm sorry". Jimmy drank it all in one gulp and sat on the sofa alone, drinking until he completely collapsed.

The next day, Jimmy woke up on the ground. Fortunately, it was already spring. If it were winter, lying on the carpet like this all night, there would probably be no one there. Feeling a little confused, he took off his clothes and took a shower, so he felt a little more awake.

After a while, Jimmy looked at the time and quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the evidence warehouse.

The supervisor also knew why Jimmy was assigned here. Looking at Jimmy's appearance, it was obvious that he had drunk too much. As for why he drank too much, everyone knew very well. A young man with unlimited future was suddenly involved in such a situation.

In the case, he was assigned to work as a warehouse manager in the evidence warehouse. No one else would be in a better mood.

The supervisor looked at Jimmy registering the evidence classification on the computer, and he didn't seem to be energetic, so he asked: "Jimmy, do you want to take a break and go for a walk?"

Jimmy stopped. He was too emotionally depressed yesterday, and he actually didn't have much energy now. After thinking about it, he turned to his supervisor and said, "Supervisor, let me take a few more days off."

The supervisor nodded, "Go ahead, go out for a walk, relax and come back."

Jimmy packed up, signed a leave form, and left the evidence warehouse. Instead of going home, he went directly to the airport and flew back to Little Rock.

——

Jimmy stayed at a hotel, went downstairs to have dinner, bought a bottle of wine, and took a taxi to James' home.

"Ding dong" Jimmy stood at the door of James' house and pressed the doorbell. Mrs. Baldwin came to open the door.

"Jimmy! Long time no see, why are you back?" Mrs. Baldwin looked surprised. She hugged Jimmy and let him enter the room.

"Mrs. Baldwin, are you okay? Is James here?" Jimmy gave the wine to Mrs. Baldwin.

"He's in the study." Mrs. Baldwin did not show Jimmy the way, but directly pointed to the location of the study.

Jimmy came to the study door and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Jimmy opened the door and walked in. Jimmy had not seen James since the last time he was in the hospital. He now looked thinner than before, and there was a scar on his face.

Jimmy: "Good evening, James."

James looked at Jimmy in surprise: "Jimmy, are you okay?" As he said this, he stood up and came to Jimmy.

Jimmy nodded, "The investigation is over, I'm going out to relax."

James reached out and patted Jimmy's arm: "It's okay, it's really scary."

James pulled Jimmy and sat on two single sofas facing each other in the corner. "Is this investigation over? Will there be any follow-up?"

Jimmy shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's coming to an end. It shouldn't be that simple. After all, Stanton died at the scene, and the impact was too bad."

James: "Don't think so much. Things that have nothing to do with you are things that people in the White House should consider."

James got up and went to the bookshelf, brought two glasses and wine: "To celebrate your successful passing, let's have a drink."

Jimmy looked at James' happy smile and felt at ease. In the past few years since he came to this world, the one who has taken the most care of him is the fifty-year-old old man in front of him. He takes care of him quietly and arranges many things for himself.

, but I never thought about what I could give him in return.

After a drink, Jimmy asked, "How are you doing?"

James waved his hand: "It's healed. Except for the scars, I didn't expect that I would be stable for a lifetime, and then I would be shot by someone when I was old."

Jimmy and James were drinking and chatting. Unknowingly, Jimmy drank too much again.

——

Jimmy opened his eyes and looked around. This was an ordinary room, not the hotel he had booked. The curtains on the window were down. It was already very bright outside. It looked like he had overslept again. He observed with his inner eye.

After looking around, he determined his location, the guest room on the second floor of James' house.

Standing up and picking up the clothes on the chair next to him, Jimmy dressed and walked out of the bedroom.

"Good morning, Mrs. Baldwin." Jimmy went downstairs and greeted Mrs. Baldwin in the living room. "Sorry, it's rare to talk to James, so I'm sorry to bother you."

"Oh, Jimmy, don't be so polite, just treat this as your home. Are you feeling better? Do you want a cup of coffee?" Mrs. Baldwin stood up and asked Jimmy while walking towards the kitchen.

"Oh, thank you. Where's James?" Jimmy didn't refuse and followed Mrs. Baldwin to the kitchen. He couldn't let her carry it to the living room for him.

"He has gone to work. It's okay. Just take a good rest." Mrs. Baldwin poured a cup of coffee from the coffee pot to Jimmy. Judging by the temperature, it should have been freshly brewed.

"It tastes good, thank you." Jimmy took a sip of the coffee, and then returned to the living room and sat on the sofa with Mrs. Baldwin.

"Child, has something happened?" Mrs. Baldwin asked with a smile.

Jimmy looked at Mrs. Baldwin in confusion, and she pointed to her eyes: "Last night, you cried."

"Oh, sorry, wait a minute." Jimmy stood up and went to the bathroom. He had already seen the structure here in advance and would not open the wrong door.

Looking at the mirror, Jimmy found that there were obvious water marks from the corners of his eyes to his temples. He didn't wash up when he first got up, so he didn't notice this. He quickly dealt with personal matters, washed his face, and then left the bathroom and returned to the living room.

"It's nothing, maybe it's a dream." Jimmy replied casually, drank coffee, said goodbye to Mrs. Baldwin and left.

——

The original setting outline was that after the plot of the Red Flame Battlefield ended, Jimmy was under house arrest for three months because of the investigation. Because of killing Frank and the others, Tom was very disappointed with Jimmy. Jimmy was also tainted by regret and further darkened. After that, Jimmy would

After leaving New York, something happened, and I received a black rainbow, one of the thirteen rainbows in the Dark Tower, sent by Roland.

I won’t spoil the follow-up plot. Although the outline has changed a lot, I may still use some parts later.
