North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 279 Post-processing
Jimmy followed Ray's car back to the FBI Dallas office. He went to the vehicle management department first, returned the car, and said that he was shot. He didn't get the next one directly, because there are not many spare cars here. , if there is no spare time, you can use it directly for Jimmy.

Jimmy came upstairs, met Ray, and went directly to Lambert's office on the top floor.

Jimmy: "Director Lambert."

Lambert: "Sit down, tell me, what's going on?"

Jimmy repeated the statement again, and Lei also said beside him that the suspect had been declared dead, and the gun used by the suspect had been sent for testing. When they came back, the bullet test had confirmed that the suspect had shot Road car facts.

Lambert: "Thanks, Ray, let me have a private chat with Jimmy."

Ray nodded, got up and left Lambert's office.

Lambert: "Jimmy, you did a good job. This kind of mental illness that shoots casually is the biggest threat to social security."

Jimmy: "Thank you."

Lambert: "I've read your report. It's a good job, and there's basically nothing wrong with the direction of the investigation. But this kind of case will have no results for a while, so let's temporarily seal it up. You go back first, and there are new arrangements." You will be notified."

Jimmy: "Thank you, Director Lambert, then I'll go back first. Goodbye."

Lambert: "Goodbye."

Jimmy got up and left Lambert's office and went downstairs to the hotel.

After Jimmy left, Lambert called Hughes.

Lambert: "Hughes, Jimmy has completed the investigation and returned, and there is nothing wrong with the report."

Hughes: "So fast? It's only been 4 days."

Lambert: "Well, I was also very surprised. It seems that he drove directly to the scene non-stop. He has a really good attitude and is a good guy. In addition, he came back to report today, but he changed two cars a day today. .”

Hughes was speechless for a few seconds, waiting for Lambert to continue.

Lambert heard that Hughes didn't speak, so he could only continue: "He was scratched on the side because of the Texas Highway Patrol chasing the car on the return trip. After changing the car in the afternoon, he was randomly shot while driving on the road. , oh, he shot the shooter after calling the police, no injuries."

Hughes: "It is conceivable that if a gunman injures him, I will have to investigate who the gunman is."

Lambert: "Well, after reading the file, I have nothing to say. Let him rest for two days and see if there are any other cases that can be given to him."

Hughes: "Huh? Why are you keeping him? Hasn't it already been evaluated? Let him come back."

Lambert: "No hurry, no hurry, just treat him as a business trip, and I'll stay for a few more days to see."

Hughes suddenly felt that his initial plan seemed to be a bit off track, "Okay, let me release the person as soon as possible, there are many cases here."

Lambert: "I understand, Hughes, don't worry so much. You should think about what to do after retirement. There are so many things to do, it's impossible to finish them."

After hanging up the phone, Lambert laughed. It's an interesting little guy. It's a pity to put it back.

Jimmy left the office, because the car was gone, and the new one was not assigned, so he could only walk back to the hotel to rest. Today is not suitable for going out, and after finally taking a rest, he was shot when he went out. This is really unlucky.

Just entering the room, Jimmy's phone rang, and Torsten called.

Torsten: "Jimmy, are you back in New York?"

Jimmy: "Not yet, temporarily seconded to the FBI Dallas office, and will be in Dallas for a while."

Torsten: "That's great, are you interested in helping me?"

Jimmy: "Is there a case? Well, I don't have any objections, but now I am seconded to Dallas, and I have to listen to Lambert's supervisor."

Torsten: "No problem, I'll find someone to take care of it."

Jimmy: "Okay, you figure it out."

Torsten: "OK, that's it, I'll deal with it."

Jimmy hung up the phone and was also thinking about what case Torsten was looking for him. Of course, he must do something, nothing more than discovering the lair of drug dealers or discovering transportation routes. There must be a big action, but the DEA also It's not that no one, why let yourself intervene, this is a cross-federal department.Did you let yourself take the blame?

Jimmy thought about this possibility. It seems that taking the blame is not a big deal. Anyway, he is affiliated to the New York office, not Texas. Now it is considered a secondment. That's it.

However, Jimmy thought too much. Torsten then contacted his boss to communicate with Lambert. He was rejected directly, and the reason was very bad, because Jimmy had just killed a gunman and was now in the stage of being forced to wait. Investigation, the investigation time is undecided, Jimmy has no time to participate in the business of other departments.

Good guy, Torsten was dumbfounded when he got the news. He has only been in Dallas for a few days?Why did it come out like this again?After thinking for a while, Torsten directly picked up the phone and called a friend in the Dallas Police Department to ask what was going on.

After hearing what happened from a friend in the police station, Torsten was numb. From the first 911 call to the police when they came to the shooter’s house, it took only 4 minutes. Jimmy was shot first, and then Stopped the car and called the police, then entered the room and killed the gunman, and when the patrol arrived at the scene, he didn't even hear the gunshot.

I don’t know what to say. FBI agents have the right to fight back when they are shot. The gunman who randomly shoots passers-by also poses a serious social threat. As a federal law enforcement officer, he is also obliged to deal with such cases as soon as possible. , Then Jimmy was forced to leave by the FBI Dallas office, which interfered with his plans by the way.

The chance of finding strong foreign aid is gone, and Thorsten can only contact his colleagues in the support team to make arrangements. I really can’t blame Jimmy for this matter. I didn’t say it in advance. It can be said that the time was missed.

Jimmy didn't even have a car, and he didn't have a familiar place to take a taxi in Dallas, so he could only stay in the hotel room in a daze.

Just when he was bored, New York's cell phone rang suddenly, and Jimmy was a little surprised to see the call.

Jimmy: "Hi, Dr. Mary, long time no see."

Mary: "Hi Jimmy, are you busy?"

Jimmy: "No, I'm taking a break. What's wrong?"

Mary: "Are you free tomorrow? Jenna and I have a squash date."

Jimmy was speechless, why didn't he ask himself out when he was in New York before: "Well, I really hope to participate, but... I am in Dallas, Texas. I have recently been seconded to the office here, and I can't return to New York for the time being."

Mary shouted in surprise: "What? Why were you seconded to Texas? You are only a trainee agent, which obviously does not comply with the rules."

Jimmy: "I don't know. I'm on vacation. I came to Texas to meet two friends. Then I was arranged to be seconded to the Dallas office. It should be Hughes. What arrangements do they have? You know, I'm just a trainee agent , I don’t know what’s going on here.”

Mary was silent for a while, and Jimmy could still hear her breathing, so she didn't interrupt her thoughts.

Mary: "I think I understand something, and I can probably look it up. Then you can work hard in Dallas. It's only on secondment. You will always come back to New York."

Jimmy: "Well, it doesn't matter where you work, but it's completely unfamiliar here, and sometimes it's really boring."

Mary: "Well, that's it, have fun, cowboy. See you later."

Jimmy: "Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy began to think about Mary's words. She seemed to understand something?Is it the reason why I was seconded?Well, it’s not convenient for me to investigate. Mary has a lot of acquaintances in the Manhattan office. If she can figure out the reason, she can get it as soon as possible. I believe Mary will not hide it, she should.

Jimmy put his mobile phone on the coffee table, raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already 6 o'clock, and the people in the office should have left work at this time. No wonder Mary would call at this time.

No, there is an hour's time difference between Texas and New York. It's already 7 o'clock in New York. It's so late. What day is it today?Oh, Friday.Well, it seems that Mary should stay with Jenna, and then remember to play squash, and it seems that some are tired after returning to New York.

Jimmy thought for a while, then called Detective Lei again: "Lei, do me a favor, contact the Dallas Police Department to see how today's case is going? Has the family of the deceased been contacted? Is there any conclusion?"

Lei: "Well, do you have any misunderstanding about the efficiency of the police handling cases? Since the suspect is dead, the case must not be dealt with so urgently. It is estimated that it will be early if a conclusion can be drawn tomorrow."

Jimmy: "Isn't it? I can leave the police station. They must have reached a preliminary conclusion."

Lei: "Okay, okay, I'll go and ask for you, but don't get your hopes up."

Jimmy: "Thank you, let's have a drink together when we're free."

After finishing today's case, Jimmy thought about it for a while. Since the shooting happened today, it is likely to be the same as Manhattan. Kill the boring night time.

In the early morning, Jimmy's phone rang suddenly, and he picked up the phone from the bedside table in a daze: "No matter who you are, you better be busy!"

"Jimmy, this is Lambert."

Jimmy woke up instantly, "Ah, Director Lambert, I'm sorry, I didn't notice it was you just now, what's the matter?"

"Get up quickly, Ray will pick you up at the hotel, he'll be right there, and you guys set off together."

After Lambert finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Whoever was beaten up by Jimmy like that would probably not be in a good mood.

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy was completely awake, "Hi, sorry, it's an urgent case, I need to leave immediately."

"Fuck you, asshole!"

Jimmy jumped off the bed directly, ran barefoot to the bathroom to wash and clean up briefly, and came out to get dressed. As for the other one, well, although it's not very good to say so, Jimmy can't pay attention anymore.

While waiting for her to get dressed, Jimmy's phone rang again, "Hi, Ray, wait a minute, I'll be right down."

Jimmy dressed neatly, took his ID and gun holster, and left the room with the girl who hadn't tidied up her clothes, and went downstairs, "Please arrange for someone to clean room 306, thank you." Jimmy took a banknote and handed it to The waiter in the lobby made some arrangements, and then walked out of the lobby. Ray was already waiting at the door in his Crown Victoria car.

Jimmy: "Wait for me." He turned around and hugged the girl, kissed her on the cheek, "Sorry, goodbye." Then he got into Lei's car, and Lei started the car and drove away.

Lei: "It seems to be a good thing to bother you."

Jimmy looked at him angrily: "What's the matter, so anxious? What time is it? Oh, I have a watch." Jimmy raised his left hand and looked at his watch. It was only 7:10 in the morning.

Jimmy: "So early, what case?"

Ray: "The cash van robbery, the money delivery van from Dallas to Arlington and then to Fort Worth was hijacked, and now the Texas Highway Patrol is chasing the suspect's car, currently on the 820 highway."

Jimmy: "Did they get it?"

Lei: "Well, the police in Arlington have sealed off the scene of the armored van, and now we are going to join the Texas Highway Patrol to intercept the suspect."

Jimmy: "No, why call me? Where are your people?"

Lei: "Don't ask me, Lambert notified me, as for who else notified, I don't know, just go to the scene and have a look."

Lei’s public vehicle is equipped with a siren and a single-barrel police light, which are of course old-fashioned. Jimmy’s new-style police lights have not yet been widely used. The cycle of updating equipment in public units is very long, and it is not so easy to completely replace them.

With the lights on and the siren sounding, Ray chased from Dallas to Fort Worth at a speeding speed all the way.Fortunately, there is a radio station in this kind of car with police lights and siren. Although they don't make a sound, they can still get the location notified by the dispatch center from inside.

Dallas is only a few tens of kilometers away from Fort Worth. According to Lei's current speed, it is estimated that he will arrive in more than half an hour. After Arlington, Lei starts to adjust the route according to the position notified by the dispatch center, and head south along the 820 highway. chase after.

Jimmy looked at the vehicles on the road. Fortunately, there were not many vehicles on the road in the morning. Congestion will not delay Lei's speed.

Jimmy asked, "Ray, do you have a spare gun in the car? I only brought a revolver to Dallas this time. Do you have extra body armor?"

Lei: "There is one M16 in the trunk, only one, and only one body armor."

Jimmy: "I'm not good at rifles, it will depend on the situation. Fuck, it's really a wrong decision to come to Dallas this time, I didn't bring anything."

Let me explain here. Jimmy used to have a public FBI car with matching equipment and body armor in the trunk, so it is no problem for him to go to Big Bend National Park alone to handle the case. The protection is there. Now, Jimmy has There are no more cars.
