North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 72 Clues Interrupted

The next day, Jimmy received a call from Dolci.

"Hey, Jimmy, the information you asked me to check has been checked. There are no records of these two people in the detention center or the police system. It seems that they have not reported the crime here in Little Rock."

"Thank you, Dorchi. I'll think of something else. Goodbye."

Jimmy was disappointed. If there was no record in Little Rock, he could only go to the police station in Lin County, but he had no acquaintances.

Jimmy returned to the police station and found Chief James. He had no choice but to contact other police stations and had no choice but to contact him.

"Director, I may need to trouble you about something. I am looking for two people who have been missing for two months. I would like to contact the nearby police station to see if there is any report information about them."

Jimmy put the copy of the photo on the director's desk, and Director James picked it up and took a look.

"What do they have to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter, I just need to check their missing information for personal reasons and whether there are records in the surrounding counties."

"You'd better send the fax yourself and mark it clearly."

"Okay, Director."

Jimmy was dismayed. If the chief had come forward to contact him, other police stations would have given him some respect and had to investigate quickly. There was no chance now.

Jimmy went to Amy and got the fax numbers of several surrounding county police stations. He put his business card on the photo copy and wrote that he was looking for the two people. They had been missing for more than two months. Please contact any police colleagues who have information.

Himself, and then sent it according to the fax number of each police station.

If you send a fax directly, there is basically very little chance of being seen and replied to immediately. Jimmy has no choice. The simplest method was rejected, so he can only use this stupid method and hope for other police stations.

For the sake of being a fellow police officer, people can check the information for themselves.

All that's left is to wait. Jimmy can only go out to patrol. Since Kag is on leave, they have to share a wider range. Fortunately, as long as they are lazy and wait for the dispatch center, it is basically very easy.

Kagg already knows what Jimmy is doing here. After all, he has been in the police department for more than 20 years. This kind of county police department is very stable. It is not a sudden accident. Few people will change jobs back and forth. The source is,

Amy, the chief steward of the police station.

Kag did not contact Jimmy to ask him to stop. He knew that Jimmy would definitely continue to investigate. The most important thing now was to recover as soon as possible and return to the police station to investigate the guy who seduced Nick. The middle-aged honest man was also very angry.

, especially when it comes to family members.

Kag also made a few phone calls. He has been in the police station for so long and has a lot of informants. He can't do anything big, but it's okay to help get some information. As long as he can find that guy, he can at most provide some favors to those informants.

people.

Jimmy suddenly received a call from the chief while on patrol.

"Hey, Jimmy, go to Pinnacle Mountain State Park. There was a house fire there. After the fire was out, a body was found. The Park Police asked us to help."

"Okay, Director."

Jimmy turned on the police lights and drove directly to Pinnacle Mountain State Park. This is the northwest corner of Little Rock, outside the limits of Little Rock, and belongs to Pulaski County. However, because the state park has its own park police system, the county police usually do not go there.

side.

There are two main types of police that are most common in state parks. One is the U.S. National Park Police, which is affiliated with the U.S. National Park Service and is a subordinate of the internal government. It mainly manages national parks, historical sites, etc., and is nominally responsible for managing national parks.

(National Park), but in fact, some state parks also have park police, but more often they are seen as park rangers (Rangers), and some are also called rangers. Pat, whom Jimmy contacted earlier,

Brett is the Park Ranger.

The second type of police is the hunting police. If there are many kinds of wild animals in the park woodland, or there are rare species, there will usually be hunting police patrolling, guarding, and training and guiding the hunters to prevent them from accidentally injuring precious animals, etc.

For arresting crimes such as poaching, it is basically not easy for tourists to see this kind of police.

Jimmy came to the state park and drove to a burned-out house under the guidance of the guard.

"I'm Assistant County Sheriff Jimmy Young, who's in charge here?"

"It's me, McKenzie Remy, member of the Park Management Committee." A middle-aged white man came over and shook Jimmy's hand.

"Hello, Mr. Remy, please tell me the case."

"You come with me. This is the duty room of our ranger. The person in charge here is named Pat Bright."

"Wait, you mean Pat Bright? White, old, with thin hair?"

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Well, we have a mutual friend. You continue."

McKenzie Remy continued: "This morning, the patrol guard discovered the fire here and notified the fire brigade to put out the fire. We called Pat's phone, but no one answered.

After the fire was extinguished, we found a burnt body in the tool shed nearby. He was wearing ranger clothes. This could be seen from the belt and badge. We confirmed that he was ranger Pa

Brett. But the cause of his death was not the fire, but a gunshot wound to the head."

Mackenzie Remy took Jimmy to a yellow body bag and unzipped it at the head.

A charred head was displayed in front of Jimmy. Jimmy glanced at the bullet hole in the head and motioned for McKenzie to zip up the zipper.

"Inform the coroner to come and wait for his autopsy report. Do you have surveillance here that I can look at? Anywhere around, no matter what direction. The scene has been messed up by the firefighters and your people, and there is nothing you can do about the footprints.

collection."

"There is a problem with the traffic camera and it has not been repaired. Currently there are only infrared cameras in the forest area, but they are far away from here. They are used to monitor fire prevention and photograph wild animals. These videos should be of little use."

"Let's take a look at the period from last night to this morning before the fire was discovered."

Mackenzie Remy took Jimmy to the management committee's office building, where the surveillance videos will eventually be recovered.

There were only two cameras around the fire duty room. After speeding up the playback, no one was found passing through this area. Jimmy asked McKinsey to go ahead and played the two videos again. This time, the fast-forward speed was slowed down.

I found that there were not many wild animals in the forest. Maybe it was because it was too close to Little Rock and there were no dangerous animals nearby.

After playing it repeatedly twice, Jimmy finally gave up. The videos captured by these cameras were not particularly clear. Not to mention that no one was captured. Even if they were captured, it would be difficult to obtain a clear image record.
