North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 412 Tracking

Mahone and the others did not go directly along the escape route of the prisoners, but made a half circle from the side, from the normal maintenance passage to the first floor, and went down from the hole here to the underground, where they saw that they had penetrated

of a wall.

This is a red brick wall. The safety of this kind of wall is not very good because the red bricks are very fragile and the adhesive part can be easily pulled out.

The hole in the wall was not big. Jimmy looked around and saw that there were still pipes on the other side of the hole. They were just large pipes. Judging from the current underground temperature, one of them must be a steam pipe for heating, and several others.

The pipes should be sewage pipes and water purification pipes. The sewage pipes that Warden Waren just mentioned were punctured can also be seen. There is a gap in it, which is enough for someone to get in.

Because the sewage pipe is now broken, the smell in this space is very unpleasant. Only those who have escaped from jail can endure this disgusting smell. Ordinary people, let alone getting in, just smell the smell and look at the pipe.

The dirt makes me want to vomit.

Ma Hong picked up some broken bricks and looked at them, "Where did they get the tools? They definitely couldn't have made these broken bricks with their bare hands. They should have used something like a sledgehammer or steel bars to make them into such small pieces."

piece."

Warden Wallen shook his head, "We have checked this morning and found no tools at the scene. They should have gone out with the tools and did not stay."

Ma Hong looked at the waist-height hole in front of him and stood next to it, simulating the action of smashing it with a sledgehammer. The space here was enough to swing a sledgehammer or other heavy objects, but it would definitely take a long time to break through this wall.

, these two people must have been preparing their jailbreak plan for a long time.

There were so many footprints on the ground that it was very messy because so many people came over in the morning. It was impossible to tell which ones belonged to the prisoners and which ones belonged to the police who came in the morning.

Ma Hong also looked at the pipe on the opposite side through the hole, "Where did they exit the pipe? Have you found it?"

Warden Waren: "It has been found. It is more than 100 meters away from the prison wall. The police have gone all out to trace it, and K9 has also been dispatched."

Mahone contacted Hughes and arranged an investigation in the surrounding cities. Now he can only wait here. This is not the time to go out to find someone. If things go the other way, it will waste more time.

Ma Hong immediately became energetic and said, "Bring me the car situation."

Felicia: "We have obtained their current progress. Based on the K9's scent location of the suspect, it is basically determined that the suspect left in a car because they were wearing prison uniforms and the temperature is still very low, so they should have escaped after

No prison uniforms were thrown away, and no trace of their prison uniforms or other items was found near the scene.

Another life, the murderer who escaped from prison really has no scruples.

Mahone: "Felicia, how's it going?"

Ma Hong: "I understand, please take me to the last location tracked by the K9 first."

Warden Warren saw that he had nothing to do at the scene, said hello to Mahone and returned to the prison.

When we arrived at the scene, there was a white circle here, which should have been drawn by the police during the morning investigation. "This should be the last location confirmed by K9."

Mahone: "Continue the investigation."

Various prisons have also severely downsized their prison staff due to financial problems, and the maintenance of equipment is also arranged based on money. For prisoners, if they want to do something, they only need to pay. This has also created a situation where gangs are prevalent in various prisons but no one cares about them.

situation.

Warden Wallen shook his head: "This is their blind spot. If they hadn't come to the intersection, they wouldn't be able to see what's going on here. We've already confirmed that they didn't find anything unusual, and nothing was missing from the convenience store in the gas station.

Things, the two of them were not seen in the surveillance. That’s all I know about the situation. The subsequent follow-up is investigated by the police, and the information has not been synchronized with me.”

This time the matter is a bit big. There are actually not many prison escapes in the United States, but most of them occur in sub-state prisons. Federal-level prisons are relatively safe, and prison escapes are very rare. And large ones

Some jailbreaks are low-security prisons, such as the current medium-security prisons, or other high-security prisons and super prisons. There are many prison guards and the internal management is relatively standardized.

Mahone and Jimmy waited in the parking lot for a while, but couldn't wait any longer and drove directly to the police station to meet Felicia.

Felicia: "It's difficult to determine. You may need to contact the local police station."

Soon, Felicia's call came to Mahone's mobile phone. He picked up the call and turned on the playback directly.

This is almost like finding a needle in a haystack. In the final analysis, it is still a lack of monitoring. In addition, it happened in the early morning, and there were no witnesses at all. Jimmy also felt a little headache listening to their conversation. Fortunately, there is a boss now, so he won’t be there for the time being.

You need to find a clue and run around like before.

The police officer handed over an A4 piece of paper with vehicle information and owner information. Ma Hong continued to ask: "Has this car been subsequently found in other surveillance cameras?"

Warden Warren: "It's just on the roadside in front. There are no buildings there. There are wasteland woods and farmland on both sides of the road."

Mahone immediately called Jimmy and Felicia to set off and headed to the location of the car. When they arrived at the scene, the place had been blocked by the police. The owner of the car was still wearing his underwear, but all other clothes had been taken away, and the owner was also killed.

There were obvious crush injuries on the neck, which may have been caused by someone strangling the neck and blocking the blood flow, causing death.

Mahone didn't open the ball this time, so Jimmy couldn't hear what Hughes said, but according to Hughes' style, Mahone should have full authority to handle it.

Because there are a lot of forests nearby, and the suspects have now left here in a car, it is really not easy to determine their location.

Jimmy: "Mahon, the terrain here is very problematic."

"Agent Mahone, the dispatch center determined that a car was missing. It was a private car returning from New York's JFK Airport last night. According to the plan, it should have arrived home at 2 or 3 o'clock. His family found out that he had not returned in the morning, and

Unable to contact us, we called the police at noon. After we found out the car, we compared it with the system records and confirmed that it was this car."

Jimmy picked up the map, pointed to the location near the prison and said: "Mahong, I think we need to expand the scope of the investigation. If they escaped at night, whether they hijacked a certain car or were taken away by good Samaritans,

Let's go, the driving speed will definitely not be slow, it has been more than half a day, they have probably left the nearby area."

The internal management of federal prisons relatively strictly abides by the regulations of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. There are corresponding channels for internal management of prisoners and handling of complaints, which is relatively clean. There are not so many state and sub-state prisons.

It's a big deal. To say it's a shady thing is an understatement.

Ma Hong: "Well, I'll wait for your news." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Jimmy looked at Warden Warren: "Warden Warren, please prepare a map for us. It needs to have a map of New York State and a national map. It would be best if there is a nearby map."

The police department is now investigating the vehicles that appeared on this road last night, hoping to determine which vehicle they left in, but there is no result yet."

Mahone: "Also, ask them if they found any tools or clothes around here."

Mahone was looking at the open space next to him in a daze, but after being reminded by Jimmy, he turned to look at him, then took out his cell phone and called Felicia and explained Jimmy's plan.

Ma Hong: "Then do it, get their contact information as soon as possible and start investigating. In addition, notify the police station, issue a regional bulletin, and notify us immediately if there are relevant clues."

Felicia nodded again, and several people turned around and returned to the prison. Felicia drove to the police station, while Mahone stood in the parking lot, considering the direction of the investigation.

Jimmy: "By the way, I forgot to tell Felicia just now. The fastest way to identify the car is to ask her to notify the police station and directly investigate the owner's information. Contact her by phone. If she cannot be contacted, immediately find the missing owner.

Due to their location, the possibility of them being kidnapped or killed by the two suspects is very high."

Mahone: "Let's go up and see their exit."

Mahone also came over to look at the map. The prison is located northwest of Newburgh, and Newburgh is on the edge of the Hudson River. If you want to escape from the prison, there are many routes. You can go east to the Hudson River, and north

You may escape to Canada, you can go south into the forest, you can go west to other urban areas, or you can go all the way to Lake Ontario. In a place like this, it is really difficult to judge the direction in which the suspect is escaping.

Outside the prison, the warden took them to a gas station, where the manhole cover was opened. "That's where they came out. The K9 lost its scent after chasing for a while, and it was about 200 meters ahead."

Mahone hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and dialed Hughes' number again, "Hughes, I need to notify the state police and surrounding police stations to coordinate the investigation, and at the same time conduct personnel inspections at train stations, bus stations, and airports in surrounding cities.

Check."

Mahone: "What about their families?"

Police officer: "Not yet. We still need to continue the investigation. Because this place is relatively remote, we still call the surveillance video from an intersection far away from this road."

Damn it, if they really crossed the Hudson River or took a boat directly to this location, it would be even harder to find it.

Felicia nodded, "I understand."

Ma Hong nodded: "I understand, waiting for news from Felicia, the local police are also investigating the vehicle information. The most important thing now is to confirm the direction."

Mahone: "The other Cameron Brown is a gang member. Investigate the people in his gang."

Mahone looked around and said, "Felicia, go to the police station immediately and contact them to confirm the clues they have obtained so far. In addition, investigate the situation of the two prisoners, their relatives, friends, gang members, etc. from our system.

Put them on the investigation list. I will give you authorization later to investigate whether they have received calls or text messages from last night to now, and read their phone records."

Felicia: "Understood."

Early the next morning, before going to the police station, Mahone received a notice from the police that the missing car had been found, not far from the Hudson River.

Mahone looked at the information at hand, walked to the fax machine, and sent the information back to the Manhattan office. Then he called Hughes, who notified other departments to investigate the car and determine whether it was there.

in their jurisdiction.

This kind of troublesome thing is really painful. The biggest trouble with the jailbreak incident is this. Without any clues, it will be difficult for anyone to solve it.

The biggest problem now is the direction in which the suspects escaped. New York State borders Canada. Once it is determined that the direction in which they escaped is in the direction of Canada, we must consider notifying them.

The prison guard gave Jimmy some directions, and Jimmy drew a triangle on it with a pen and began to investigate the surrounding terrain and residential areas.

It has been almost a day, and if he waits any longer, he may have to expand the scope of the search. Mahone's phone rang, it should be Hughes. Mahone said a few words to him and then hung up, "All the surrounding cities have received the news. Now

The news and radio have already sent out information about the prisoner's escape, and as long as there is something unusual, you should be able to receive the news."

Ma Hong looked at the manhole cover first, and then looked around, "Did the people at the gas station find anything?"

At night, there was still no news, so the three of them had to find a hotel nearby to stay.

Ma Hong: "We will look at the clues from the police station later and then consider the direction of pursuit."

Jimmy took out a map of New York State and unfolded it on the hood, "Where is our position? Exactly."

The progress at the dispatch center is not fast, because the car owners need to be contacted to confirm. Many cars are not driven by the car owners, and they need to be confirmed again. As a result, it is almost time to get off work, and there is no statistics on which cars have not been contacted.

Felicia: "Unfortunately, neither of them is married, and there are no registered direct relatives in the system. But Rob Reilly has an uncle who currently lives in the Bronx, New York. I have applied for his

investigation."

Warden Warren nodded and looked at the prison guard accompanying them. The prison guard understood, turned and left the parking lot. After a while, he came back with two maps, a map of New York State, a large one, hanging

On the wall, another copy is an atlas.

Ma Hong: "I'm not familiar with this place. It's best to contact you over there. In addition, we may need to send some more people from the field office. If we find out the direction of their escape, it won't be easy to trace them with just the three of us."

Mahone asked people from the police station to collect fingerprints as soon as possible. He put on gloves and started to check the car. Nothing was found in the car, but a hammer and a saw blade were found in the trunk. The saw blade had been worn and the middle part was

The teeth have been ground flat and then serrated, and the width has been reduced a lot, from the normal width of the front and back to a shape that is wide at both ends and concave in the middle.

This saw blade may be the tool they used to open the sewage pipe, and this hammer may be the hammer used to smash the wall. In addition, according to the car owner’s family, the car owner should have brought a suitcase. There is no suitcase found in the car, so it must have been jailbroken.

The two took it away.

Now there was trouble. Mahone asked Felicia to contact the police station to confirm with his family what was in his luggage, whether there were weapons, etc.

Mahone took Jimmy and walked along the car towards the Hudson River. They walked slowly and observed, trying to find traces on the ground. Their first choice of direction should be the Hudson River, otherwise they would not drive here.
