North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 145 Strange Painting

Jimmy looked at Justin, the handsome middle-aged white guy seemed to have two horns suddenly growing on his head.

Jimmy: "profiteer, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Justin: "You weren't with me at that time, how can I tell you that you can't make an offer over the phone, it hurts my feelings."

Jimmy: "You say it hurts even more. We have such a good relationship. You really hurt my heart."

Justin: "If you are sad, you can go home and recuperate slowly, but you still have to pay what you should pay. One yard is one yard."

Jimmy took a sip of his wine speechlessly, and said in a low voice, "No more, I've used up all of it this time."

Justin was very surprised, Jimmy's gold coins all went out from him, and he knew exactly how much 5 gold coins could do.

Justin: "What? What did you do that required 5 gold coins?" Justin approached Jimmy and asked in a low voice, "How many people were killed? Otherwise, it wouldn't cost so many gold coins."

Jimmy also said in a low voice: "Two, but I used 2 to buy information and 1 to borrow the safe house."

Justin straightened up: "You were slaughtered, I'm sure." Justin shook his head, looked at Jimmy, and suddenly laughed.

Jimmy rolled his eyes, "This is my first time going out to do errands, and I don't know their rules. Justin, please tell me, so that there will be no problems next time."

Justin: "Two dinners, one in the safe house is fine, this one is fine. The two for intelligence, there may be something wrong, if it wasn't that you were slaughtered, then I can only speculate that there may have been a change in the middle, otherwise one One is enough."

Jimmy: "Well, the information is very detailed. They found out about the new situation and asked me to update the information."

Justin: "No problem then, I think I know who the informant she gave you is. You're in luck."

Jimmy: "Can you tell me? The identity of that person."

Justin: "No, this is a secret, and I also knew it by chance."

Jimmy: "Well, you guys have so many secrets. The guests are coming soon, give me another drink."

Jimmy and Justin were having a chat. In fact, there were already sporadic guests coming, but the bartender guided them to the other side of the bar, leaving room for Justin and Jimmy to chat.

Justin turned around and continued working, but he didn't mention the coin again.

Justin has no interest in blackmailing Jimmy, a poor guy.

Jimmy was also depressed. He had just finished a matter, and even though he was bleeding profusely, he was quite happy. After being made a fuss by Justin, he lost any sense of happiness.

The next day, Jimmy went directly to the police station to sell his leave. Now that the matter is settled, it is time to go to work with peace of mind. At the same time, it is almost time for the end-of-semester exam. Jimmy just used this time to review.

Fishing during working hours is really fun. James also thinks that Jimmy’s motivated performance is good. Although it looks like fishing, Jimmy’s business ability is too strong. If something happened again, his heart might not be able to bear it.

A week later, Jimmy received a call from Jerry that Mary had called him, saying that she had returned home safely and wanted Jerry to go find her.

Jerry can't go there by himself, and he can't do it to meet Mary as a tramp, so he can only find a way with Jimmy and send him to Memphis by the way.

Jimmy didn't care. When he was off duty, Jimmy took Jerry to buy clothes, cut his hair short, trimmed his beard, and took a bath in Jimmy's apartment. Jerry looked very normal already. Thin but handsome old man.

The only thing that stands out is the hair. Jerry is not considered old, he is only about 50 years old, but a large part of his hair has already turned white. With the wrinkles on his face, he looks more like 60 years old.

Jimmy drove Jerry back to Oakville, Memphis. Jerry kept talking to Jimmy about Mary's childhood, and kept urging Jimmy to drive faster, leaving Jimmy speechless.

Mary had already been waiting on the side of the road in advance, and when she saw Jimmy's blue Mercury, she also waved her arms excitedly.

Before the car stopped on the side of the road, Jerry pushed open the co-pilot's door and ran towards Mary.Jimmy got out of the car and stood at the front of the car watching their father and daughter embrace each other excitedly.

The scene in front of him made Jimmy very emotional. He can be regarded as repaying Jerry's original favor, although the cost is a bit high.

When the excited relationship between Jerry and Mary calmed down a bit, Jimmy walked over to them and hugged them goodbye. Jerry did not go back with Jimmy. He would live here with Mary and bid farewell to the life of a homeless man.

There is one more thing for Jimmy to come this time. He is going to the warehouse to bring some boxes that can be taken away back to Little Rock. This is his biggest harvest last time, and he can't just leave it in the warehouse to eat ashes.

When Jimmy passed by the hardware store, he bought a hand-held small cutting machine, the kind with its own battery.

Jimmy took out a few briefcases from the warehouse, drove to an outdoor place where no one was around, and cut the briefcase along the side. It was too troublesome to crack the password. For Jimmy, this kind of brute force cracking was more effective.

A few briefcases were opened, and Jimmy was also disappointed. These briefcases were probably prepared by the gang boss for his escape. There were several different passports with his photos in them, and they were packed in different boxes. They were not needed when needed. Tidy up, just take the box and get on the plane and you're done.

Jimmy was of no use to anything other than a little more money.

Jimmy found some dead branches from the side, dug a hole in the ground, dumped all the other things in the box, and set it on fire.As for the body of the cut box, if there are large trash cans passing by later, just disperse them and throw them in. No one will care about damaged boxes without any special marks.

After that, Jimmy made two more trips to Memphis and finally cleaned up the warehouse.Those suitcases were kept, so there was no need to keep the clothes inside. Jimmy packed them and threw them near the homeless camp. They would clean them up for him thoroughly without leaving any traces.

For Jimmy, this period of time should be considered busy, going to work, supporting, studying, and occasionally doing private work, life is very fulfilling. By the time everything is settled, it has been June.

On this day, Jimmy received a letter at the front desk of the police station. Jimmy returned to his station and opened the envelope. Inside were two A4 papers with two paintings on them.

The first painting shows a man holding a gun in his left hand, pointing obliquely upwards, what is in front of him, but nothing else.

The second depicts a man lying with arms outstretched, seemingly floating in mid-air, with two pistols underneath.

Strange painting, if you look at two paintings in a row, the first one is fighting against something, while the second one is death, the painting is drawn with pencil, there is no signature, and there is no other words in the letter.

Jimmy picked up the envelope again. It had no return address on it, but it had a Texas postmark.

In Texas, Jimmy can only think of three people, Thorsten, Jerry Miculek, and Roland. Roland is probably the only one who can mail paintings, but Roland?When he left last time, he had made it clear that he would not let him go back to him, so why would he mail such a letter to himself.

These two pictures must have some special meaning, but Jimmy couldn't see it. Jimmy tried hard to recall the process of meeting Roland at the beginning, because more than half a year had passed, and Jimmy's memory was a bit fuzzy.

Suddenly Jimmy remembered a detail. Roland said that he used to rely on Chambers' paintings to find the door to other worlds. Chambers' ability is similar to the ability to predict, and he can show the picture through painting.But Chambers had already left a few years ago, and he wasn't by Roland's side, so how could there be two more paintings?Could it be that Chambers has returned to Roland's side?
