North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 60 Failure to poach

Agent Eagle Marshall was not the only one who was curious about Jimmy. Others were also very interested, so everyone gathered at an indoor shooting range not far from the police station.

After discussing with the range administrator, Agent Eagle Marshall prepared some wooden boards and a walkie-talkie. He first simulated shooting, and simulated the scene of shooting from behind the door in the small passage formed by the wooden boards, so as to serve as a ballistic guide to determine the shooting location.

, and then placed the walkie-talkie at different positions on the shooting line to simulate the sound. Jimmy would shoot. The wooden board blocked the line of sight. The walkie-talkie was definitely not visible from the shooting position.

Jimmy didn't care. He had a clear mind. No matter how they adjusted the walkie-talkie, it had no meaning. After Jimmy waited for them to arrange it, he heard the sound and fired directly, hitting the chair where the walkie-talkie was placed.

After three adjustments, Jimmy was able to hit the range of the walkie-talkie's simulated human body every time, thus confirming the feasibility of killing Johnny.

Agent Eagle Marshall gave Jimmy two thumbs up, then asked the administrator to remove the obstacles, followed by a 15-meter chest target shooting. Jimmy directly proved his revolver by hitting the heart with 2 rounds of 12 bullets.

of accuracy.

When it was over, Jimmy was freed and returned to the police station to drive home. As for his gun, it was still an exhibit and was returned to the police evidence room.

Detective Eagle Marshall didn't expect to find a genius like Jimmy in such a small police station. As for shooting, many people can shoot accurately, but those are basically shooting at the shooting range without any interference.

Jimmy, on the other hand, achieved accurate shooting at the scene of gun battles several times, and his judgment of the ballistic trajectory made him seem to be able to directly see the suspect lurking behind the door, and all two shots hit the target.

"Director James, is it possible..."

"NO, it's impossible, no need to say any more."

"I'm not done yet!"

"I know what you want to say. He is my man, a man from our police station. Don't even think about it. There is no hope at all."

Detective Eagle Marshall shook hands with the chief and left the station, his colleagues still hearing him cursing in the parking lot.

"Eager, you want to take him away?"

"Of course, for a good young man, patrolling here all day long would be a waste."

"It's a pity that we don't care. Let's go and close this case."

The two detectives got into the car and left the police station.

…

Jimmy is now on administrative leave again. Starting in January, in less than half a year, he has been on administrative leave for the fourth time.

This time the matter was relatively big, and the administrative leave was probably not going to be short. He had to think about how to kill the time, and then he thought about the Asian carp in the Mississippi River that he had talked about when chatting with Kager.

It was early rather than late, so Jimmy directly picked up the phone and called Kagg, and made an appointment with him to shoot fish during his vacation. As for the weapons, they can be rented directly from the club, and the cost is acceptable. Although Jimmy bought a gun and applied for a patent.

, after buying a car, I am so poor that I can still afford this little money.

It was Kag's business to reserve a small fishing boat with the club. Jimmy only needed to go there alone, and Kag would take care of the rest, so Jimmy didn't prepare anything. He only needed to prepare some food in advance for lunch.

No one here eats the Asian carp in the Mississippi River. On the one hand, they are not in the habit of eating this kind of spiny fish, and on the other hand, there are rumors that have been circulating for a long time, that is, the heavy metals exceed the legal limit.

The specific rumors are as follows. The area around the Mississippi River was a very important production zone in the early industrial era of the United States. At that time, the concept of environmental protection had not yet been formed. A large amount of industrial wastewater was directly discharged into the Mississippi River, causing the river water and riverbank land to be rich in heavy metals such as ammonia, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

It is a level that seriously exceeds the standard.

Because industrial wastewater makes river water rich in oxidation, algae reproduction is very crazy. Some people think of Asian carp. Asian carp eats grass and algae, and can be used to clean up river channels, purify rivers, and solve algae problems.

So in the 1970s, some people introduced various carp from Asia and put them into the river. In the following ten years, the river management effect was very good, and the number of algae and aquatic plants was significantly reduced. However, new problems arose at the same time.

Since Asian carp has no natural predators in American rivers and the food in the water is rich in nutrients, Asian carp are no longer the little guys of 20 to 30 centimeters that people think of, but have grown into river monsters that are tens of centimeters long and weighing dozens of kilograms.

Because the heavy metals in the river water exceed the standard, these fish are also rich in various heavy metals. For safety reasons, no one is willing to eat them.

These are the rumors surrounding the legendary Asian carp.

In fact, the purpose of introducing Asian carp to the United States was to control aquatic plants such as aquatic weeds and algae. In the early days, the effects were tested in the laboratory, and later they were leaked out of the laboratory.

The Mississippi River is rich in aquatic plants and algae, as well as countless snails and small shells. For Asian carp, there is abundant food here, and there are no aquatic predators such as snakehead and mullet, so they naturally grow and reproduce.

Asian carp can reach sexual maturity in 2 years, and their reproductive efficiency is far higher than that of other fish. Their number is increasing, crowding out the living space of other native fish. Coupled with abundant food, Asian carp naturally began to overrun.

The lifespan of carp is as long as 70 years. For the carp that entered the United States in the 1970s, the earliest carp in 2000 had just entered middle age, and they had no idea how many offspring they had reproduced.

These are the things Jimmy learned about the history of Asian carp in advance while he still had time. Because he never retired in his previous life, and since he joined the fire brigade at the age of 18, he has basically never cooked or cooked fish. This time he went to shoot fish.

There will definitely be nothing to eat, so it is very important to prepare lunch in advance.

The day of Kag's rotation arrived. Jimmy drove to the dock agreed in advance. Kag had already arrived in advance and rented a small fishing boat. The reason why they did not use a speedboat was because their goal was to shoot fish, not to play on the river.

Kag took Jimmy to the fishing club. Kag chose a 40-pound compound bow. This compound bow with an eccentric wheel is very powerful. It uses a special fishing arrow with a rope tied behind it. As long as it is shot into the water, it will pull.

It can be recycled as soon as it is online.

Jimmy has never tried it, and Kagg recommended a crossbow, which is also a special type of fishing arrow, the kind with a rope, which is simpler to use than a compound bow.

The two people got on the fishing boat, and Kagg headed directly to a more remote place upstream. Since there are many shipping and pleasure boats in the Mississippi River, for this slightly dangerous activity, it is best to find a place where no one is around.

As for Asian carp, there is no need to worry. After nearly 30 years of reproduction, Asian carp can be found everywhere in the Mississippi River.
