North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 376 New clues?

Jimmy and Paul returned to the equipment storage. They were supposed to continue training as planned, but Paul decided to stop training.

Paul: "Forget it, let's pause. It makes no sense to continue like this. Jimmy, tell me the truth, what is the ring of your current 25-meter pistol?"

Jimmy smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I took a test. I got perfect marks on the firearms test before graduation from Quantico Academy."

Paul nodded, "I can see that you are really accurate. We were all shot in the head. Damn talent, how did you develop it?"

Jimmy shook his head: "Maybe it's just talent. I don't train for a long time. Most of the time I'm still handling cases. Before I joined the FBI, I was a county police officer."

Paul looked up to the sky in pain and shouted "Ah", then looked at Jimmy and said: "Stop talking, stop talking. This world is too cruel to us ordinary people, and I came out of the Marine Corps. You still

At such a young age, I really don’t know how far you can reach in the future.”

Jimmy had no idea that he had irritated Paul so seriously, "Calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive, put the gun down first."

Paul's team members were already changing their equipment, and Paul was chatting with Jimmy, still holding the training gun in his hand. If this was too exciting, give Jimmy a few hits, even though it was a training bullet, it would still be very painful.

Paul put the gun in his hand on the table and began to take off his body armor and bulletproof helmet. Finally, it was safe, and Jimmy also began to take off his protective gear.

The man nodded and said nothing.

Jimmy continued: "Judging from the case, the only possible connection between these two cases and the taxi driver case is the pistol with a silencer. As for the lack of fingerprints, disposable gloves can solve the problem, so if we want to combine the cases,

The conditions are not enough.”

The team did not disband. Paul and Jimmy came to a conference room together. The TV in front was turned on, and the video was displayed and paused. It was the surveillance video of the intersection.

Jimmy opened the file at the back and continued reading. There were also a bunch of photos of the scene, which made it easy to form a schematic diagram of the scene in his mind and save him from having to go to the morgue to see the corpse.

Jimmy: "I understand, I will go back as soon as possible. Chuck, be careful. If it was the killer who killed the homeless man, then something must have happened to him. It has been a while since the last time the taxi driver died.

Already."

Paul thought for a while, "We can talk about the training later. You can go back as soon as possible. The murderer of this kind of serial murder cannot be allowed to get away with it any longer."

Chuck was still in the office, but Nia was not. After returning yesterday, Jimmy called Nia. Unfortunately, by that time she had left New York with Agent Kimberly Rice and went to New Jersey. She is not at the police station today either.

It looks like I won't be back for a while.

Jimmy is so familiar, because he was a homeless man in the beginning. Later, when he went to work in a hotel, he also lived in a tent for a long time in the early stage. Looking at the traces of homeless people living in tents, there is probably no one in the NYPD.

He has such rich experience.

Jimmy: "It's hard to tell from the photos whether they moved before they died or whether they noticed anyone coming. The quilt in these two photos looks like it was pulled up by someone, not that they pulled it open after they got up.

Therefore, the gunman may have quietly approached their tent and opened the tent door without making a sound.

Jimmy returned to the conference room with his cell phone. The video on the TV was still paused, "Paul, let's start."

Jimmy: "I'm in Louisiana now and can't go back for the time being. You guys can investigate first. I'll finish the work here and return as soon as possible. By the way, where is Nia?"

Hughes: "Jimmy, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going to Louisiana?"

Jimmy thought about it, apologized to Paul again, and decided to fly back to New York the next day. In the afternoon, he played a raid game with Paul and the others, which was the end of his Louisiana trip.

Jimmy frowned: "Didn't you already arrange a training plan? Wouldn't it affect it?"

Jimmy suddenly discovered a problem: "Chuck, what kind of tents do the two homeless people have?"

Jimmy listened to Chuck while reading the information, "Is this the case you mentioned with no fingerprints and no gunshots?"

Jimmy: "Chuck, I'm back. How's it going? Any new clues?"

Chuck: "Do you have time? Come to the police station."

Jimmy: "What about the second one?"

Chuck: "Yes, because it is not a homeless gathering place over there, so the nearest homeless tent is dozens of meters away. If someone fired a gun from this distance, the gunfire should be heard, but no,

Nothing was heard.

Jimmy: "I understand, I'll take care of it. Goodbye, Chuck."

This kind of meeting is very boring, especially this time. Their biggest mistake was that the incident was unexpected. After the first car was hit, the three people in the car were unconscious and briefly confused due to the airbag, and the second

The people in the car got out of the car and fought back, so they didn't have time to rescue them.

Hughes frowned, "Well, then you should deal with it as soon as possible."

Jimmy nodded: "I was in charge of a serial murder case before, and now there are new clues. Two homeless people were killed, which may be related to the gunman. I want to go back as soon as possible to continue investigating the case. The gunman seems to have changed the killing

The frequency is too high, he is too dangerous."

Chuck's mind was not on the case at all. He found that the young man in front of him seemed a bit mysterious. If he didn't have experience and could tell just by looking at the photos, he would definitely not believe it. As for who Jimmy said he hadn't yet

A homeless friend, nonsense, even if you have a homeless friend, you can't live in a homeless tent, who cares about this kind of thing.

It was already afternoon when he returned to New York. Jimmy had a quick bite and went home to rest for the night. Early the next morning, he returned to the FBI office.

Hughes led people to Chris's desk, "Pack up the things here, contact Chris to confirm what needs to be packed and sent back, remember to check, don't take any sensitive data out."

Jimmy stood up: "Well, I've already been there. I just returned yesterday. There's trouble with the NYPD. I'm back to handle the taxi driver's case."

Jimmy: "Can you arrange it as soon as possible? I may need to return to New York."

Jimmy: "Thank you."

Chuck: "The second incident was two days ago, but this time it was not in Brooklyn, but in Queens. It was still a homeless man who was setting up a tent alone in a small alley. He was discovered by the janitor, and the situation was the same."

Paul nodded and continued to play the video. This was the first time Jimmy had seen the surveillance video of this battle. This was also a summary meeting. They would review the situation in the video and summarize the mistakes and corresponding adjustments.

Summarize and avoid the same problem next time.

Jimmy: "Chuck, what happened?"

Jimmy's movements in the video are very clear. He got out of the car and hid behind the front tire of the car to avoid retaliation, then changed positions to kill, and then went behind Paul to kill the remaining people. It was smooth, precise, and ruthless. He left no room for anything and killed him instantly.

All gunmen, if Jimmy is the enemy, then Paul and the others will not survive, just like today's simulation training.

Jimmy: "The bullet didn't make a hole in the outside of the tent, did it?"

Jimmy got up and walked out of the conference room while answering the call. It was better not to answer this kind of call in front of them. They didn't know what Chuck would say.

Chuck looked at Jimmy with a puzzled face: "How do you know so well?"

Jimmy was checking information in the office, and Hughes led a man directly into the office from outside.

Jimmy frowned, as if he was in trouble. "I'm not in New York. I'm on a business trip for a few days. What's going on? Can't we talk on the phone?"

Because there had been a gap of some time, Jimmy reviewed the information again, then got up and left the office, heading to the police station. As for someone in the office organizing things, well, Jimmy believed that Hughes could bring someone over while he was away, so it must be

He is very trustworthy and will not touch Jimmy's things.

People from the forensics department have inspected the homeless man's tent and its contents. There are indeed some fingerprints on it. In addition to the homeless man's own, there are many other fingerprints, but those fingerprints were all printed before. From their evaluation

It seems that there are no other latest fingerprints."

Jimmy was anxious to come back. On the one hand, it was about his own case. On the other hand, he also wanted to meet Nia and see what was going on there. Although it was unkind to interfere in Les's case, hey, if you know more about it, you can

Please help me a little and let Nia end this unfortunate case as soon as possible.

That’s not right, homeless people are very alert. If someone approaches their tent, they will definitely wake up as long as there is a loud noise. If these homeless people didn’t have this alert character, they would have been swallowed up long ago.”

Jimmy did not participate in the tactical discussion because he was not a member of SOG. He only talked about his processing logic and thoughts during the early review of the battle situation. This was also Paul's original idea of ​​asking him to come over. Jimmy's

Thoughts and split-second judgment on the battlefield are a great addition to their discussions.

Jimmy: "Paul, do you have any other plans later?"

Chuck was stunned for a moment and thought about it: "The one in Brooklyn is an ordinary camping tent, but it is very worn out and has a lot of patchwork on it. The tent in Queens was probably set up manually by homeless people, using iron rods and

A frame made of wood, covered with plastic sheets and rags.”

Hughes turned to look at Jimmy who was checking information, didn't know what he was thinking, and then left directly.

Chuck: "No, it's a little troublesome this time."

Jimmy: "Judging from these traces, the gunman did indeed search something in their tent. As for whether he took anything, there is no way to tell. There are all kinds of things in the homeless man's tent, and anything is possible. It's just that.

Why did he kill the homeless man to search for his things? Does the murderer have any special hobbies? Or did the two homeless men pick up his things?"

Jimmy didn't talk to the people who packed up Chris' supplies. Seeing that Hughes brought people here in person, it was obvious that Hughes valued Chris very much. Although Chris had been arranged to retire and could take care of it himself when he had time, but Hughes

Still, he arranged for someone and brought it in person. Jimmy knew that this was not something he could interfere with.

Paul smiled and said, "No problem, I will handle it. The case is more important. We can find time to deal with this kind of training later."

Jimmy put the information on Chuck's desk, took out a few photos, placed them on the whiteboard next to them, and used magnets to attract them. "Looking at these positions, it's obvious that they didn't reach out and pull them apart by themselves."

Chuck: "Goodbye."

Jimmy: "Are there any clear clues pointing to the taxi driver case?"

Jimmy was speechless for a moment, as if he accidentally said too much, "Who doesn't have a homeless friend? Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the gunman first. Based on the current photo, it is speculated that when the gunman approached them, he should have pulled the zipper of a tent.

The sound alarmed them, but it was only for a short time, so they showed no obvious signs of movement. The gunman obviously searched for something in the tent, and he pulled back their quilts."

Although the exchange of fire was short, they discussed a wide range of topics, including vehicle itineraries, personnel arrangements, what everyone should do when an emergency occurs, etc.

The next day, Jimmy woke up and packed his clothes and boxes. Paul also changed into casual clothes and drove Jimmy away.

When it was all over, Jimmy left with Paul to have a late lunch.

Paul said while eating: "Well, in addition to my team, there is another team on duty here. We will rotate these two days, so you may need to participate in two more training sessions."

But they were lucky. Because they were suddenly attacked, Jimmy exploded and completely eliminated several gunmen who appeared on the scene in just one minute, leaving them enough time to rescue their team members.

There were no major casualties.

Everyone sat down, and just as Paul started playing the video, Jimmy's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was Chuck, "Paul, wait a moment, I'll answer the phone."

Chuck handed the information he was reading to Jimmy. While Jimmy was reading, Chuck said: "Four days ago, a homeless man in Brooklyn was found dead in a tent. His tent was next to the community park, where

There are basically no patrols at night, so some scattered homeless people occasionally live there temporarily, but the park ranger does not allow them to stay there permanently. When the ranger went to drive away the homeless man, he was found dead in the tent with his head and

Shot in the chest."

Chuck: "She is following the kidnapping case with Agent Kimberly Rice. There are not many clues there. Now they are following up on the clues provided by the public, hoping to find them as soon as possible."

Paul stopped and put down his fork. "What happened?"

Chuck: "When will you come back? There are two cases here, which may be related to the taxi driver case you handled over there, but I'm not sure."

Chuck: "No, it's just a suspicion. Two homeless men were shot in different places. However, after investigating the people around them, no one heard the gunshots. At the same time, no bullet casings or fingerprints were found."

Chuck: "No, when we investigated the scene, we determined that the gunman opened the tent and shot the people inside."

Chuck also looked at Jimmy. He had seen the scene before, but neither he nor the forensic investigators found anything unusual about the quilt being lifted. They were not familiar with the life of homeless people. How did this young Jimmy

Do you know this? Life experience? Impossible. How could such a young FBI agent have been a homeless person? The FBI's political reviewers are not blind.

Chuck: "Don't worry about me. Come back as soon as possible. If it is confirmed that the same person did it, the case must be solved quickly. I suspect the murderer may have changed his habits and he has accelerated the killing speed."

Chuck nodded: "If we can't combine the cases, let's investigate them separately. I'm going to check the evidence they recovered later. Do you want to go and see it together?"

Jimmy shook his head: "No, since the relationship may not be significant, I won't interfere in your case."

Chuck: "Okay, I'll check again and let you know if there are any other clues."

Jimmy nodded: "Then I'll go back first. I'll be on a business trip for a few days and there are still a lot of things to deal with."
