North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 286 Tom?

Jimmy didn't intervene in the inspection of the car. Kag called someone to deal with it, and Jimmy drove to the FBI office.

Jimmy found Harden: "Harten, tell the monitoring team not to look for that car, Superintendent Karg has already found it."

Harden: "Huh? Already found it? Where is it?"

Jimmy sat on a chair and shook his head: "In North Little Rock, an unmonitored roadside rushed into the Arkansas River. No suspects were found in the car. Now the car has been hoisted out and parked at the county police headquarters. Karg will arrange Someone checks."

Harden nodded: "The only clue now is the shooter yesterday."

Jimmy: "How are they now?"

Harteng: "The operation has been completed, and his life is not in danger now. He is staying in the hospital for observation and cannot be taken to the detention center for the time being."

Jimmy: "Isn't it okay to interrogate directly in the hospital?"

Harden was actually not that anxious. After all, to him, this was just a case, and he had no special relationship with James: "It's okay, I'll take someone to the hospital later, you can rest first."

Jimmy nodded, "I'll go back first."

The matter came to an end, the clues were interrupted temporarily, and it was necessary to wait for Harteng's follow-up. Jimmy did not intend to intervene in their actions. After thinking about it, Jimmy decided to go to the hospital.

Still bought a bouquet of lilies, Jimmy came to the hospital, the county policeman at James' gate had changed, and Jimmy had never seen this one before.

"Hi, I'm Jimmy, come and see James." Jimmy greeted the county policeman, who suddenly widened his eyes.Jimmy, Asian, this combination is the most famous iconic tough guy of the county police in recent years. Although he has never met him, he is very familiar with Jimmy's deeds.

"It's nice to meet you, senior. I'm Williams, Williams Cherry, who just joined this year." Williams shook hands with Jimmy, "The sheriff has woken up, and you came just in time."

Williams turned around and knocked on the door, opened the door and said to the inside: "Mrs. Baldwin, Jimmy is here." Then let the door open and let Jimmy go in.

Jimmy: "Mrs. Baldwin, how is James?" He handed the flowers to Mrs. Baldwin.

Mrs. Baldwin took the flowers, smiled and said to Jimmy: "Very good, the doctor said that the recovery is very good, for the elderly."

Jimmy: "That's good." He turned his head and looked at James on the hospital bed. James was already awake, and he was looking at Jimmy and Mrs. Baldwin.

Jimmy came to the hospital bed and reached out to hold James' uninjured left hand, "James, here I come."

James couldn't speak because his face was pierced from right to left, and now it was completely covered, leaving only a little space for his lips. He could eat some liquid food while eating to supplement nutrition. He couldn't speak. He blinked Even in response to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Kag and I are already investigating. Don't worry, we will definitely catch the bastard who shot. The FBI Little Rock office is also helping."

James looked at Jimmy, nodded slightly, and then shook his head slightly, but Jimmy couldn't see what he was trying to express now, and there was nothing he could do about it. Who usually communicates like this.

Jimmy: "You take a good rest, I'll go back first." Jimmy let go of James' left hand, said goodbye to Mrs. Baldwin, and left the ward.It's not that I don't want to talk more, but that Jimmy and Mrs. Baldwin are not familiar with each other, and they don't know what to say. James can't speak at all, and it's too awkward to speak alone.

Jimmy explained a few words to Police Officer Williams at the door, then left the hospital and went back to the hotel. Now Kag is investigating the car, and Harden is investigating the gunman. Jimmy has nothing to do but rest.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Jimmy was just about to go to bed when the phone rang. He glanced at the number, but it was an unfamiliar number again. He connected the phone, and a familiar voice came from inside.

"Jimmy, where are you?"

Jimmy was surprised: "Tom, is that you?"

Tom: "Well, where are you?"

Jimmy: "Little Rock, a hotel not far from the county police headquarters."

Tom: "Remember that lake? Come see me."

After Tom finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Jimmy was still a little dazed. He answered casually in shock just now, but he hasn't turned his mind yet.Isn't Tom dead?It has been more than a year, why call him now?
Jimmy packed up, filled the holster with bullets, checked the cylinder, and then drove away from the hotel to the lake where he had met Tom earlier.

Here you can drive directly to the lake, turn off the engine, and don't get out of the car. He was observing the surroundings, and a person came out behind a nearby tree.

Jimmy pulled out the revolver and took it in his hand, got out and walked over.

Jimmy: "Tom, it's really you."

Tom: "Calling you here, can't you prove it?"

Jimmy: "Why? You have been suspended animation for more than a year, why did you come out again? Does James know?"

Tom shook his head: "I didn't notify anyone else. I just came back when I learned that James was shot. Is James okay now?"

Jimmy: "He was shot three times and he was rescued. He is still in the hospital and his life is not in danger."

Tom nodded: "Then I'm relieved, don't tell him, at least until the matter is resolved."

Jimmy: "What the hell happened?"

Tom: "Did you get the box?"

Jimmy nodded, Tom: "Did you contact the above number?"

Jimmy: "No, I'm not sure if it's safe. I haven't called the phone number on the card. Also, I haven't installed the battery in the phone in it. I'm worried about being located. I haven't been contacted by anyone from the CIA during this period. Me, I didn't contact anyone from the CIA."

Tom: "Very good, it's a good thing that you're cautious. I left that phone number for you to prove your identity. If something happened to me, it could save your life in special circumstances, but I didn't know it at the time. Someone targeted me, and if you do contact, you will also be implicated."

Jimmy: "Tell me, Tom, I'm still confused."

Tom shook his head again: "You, a policeman, can't intervene in this matter. There are many important people involved. I will take care of it."

Jimmy also shook his head: "I'm no longer in the police station. I went to the FBI Academy earlier this year. Now I'm an agent in the FBI's Manhattan office. I'm only temporarily seconded to Dallas. Believe me, I'm not the same as before."

Tom looked at Jimmy not talking, maybe thinking of something.After thinking for a while, Tom shook his head: "It's not the time yet, you don't know Langley at all, intervening may make them target you."

Jimmy: "I didn't think about it at first, but since you showed up, I suspect that the shooting of James may really have something to do with you."

Tom: "What's suspicious? I don't know the specific situation yet."

Jimmy: "James was shot by a gunman on the road when he was off work, and then sent to the hospital. When I investigated later, I found out that the gunman's target should be James, not random shooting.

When James left the police station, a surveillance van was following him, and the van left after the gunman followed James.

The gunman's car has been found in the Arkansas River. The gunman's behavior is completely different from that of ordinary gangster gunmen. In addition, we tracked down the surveillance van and found a vehicle repair shop in the east of the city. The people inside were killed after the shootout with us. Wounded, now the FBI Little Rock office is interrogating them, hoping to get some clues. "

Tom: "A garage on the east side of town? Is there a middle-aged guy, white, who doesn't like beards?"

Jimmy was surprised: "How do you know, the owner of the repair shop said his name is William, just like you said."

Tom: "Damn it, this is one of the CIA's domestic points of contact, and I've dealt with him quite a bit before.

William used to be an intelligence officer of the CIA. He left the CIA a few years ago, but he did not completely break away from the relationship. He returned to his hometown and opened a repair shop. Usually, we would turn to him when we need to replenish weapons and supplies.

On the surface, William is the owner of the repair shop, but he is actually a contractor. Some things that are inconvenient for us will be handed over to people like him. "

Jimmy: "He has already been shot. A total of 5 people have been arrested and 4 people have been shot. By the way, has he received anti-interrogation training? If the FBI interrogates as an ordinary person, they may not be able to ask anything at all. "

Tom: "Of course there is, so it's not possible, but there is definitely nothing to ask. Since they made a move, there must be something wrong. Why did they focus on James?"

Jimmy: "Murder and silence? Implicit? What the hell did you do? Also, it's been more than a year. If it was really killing and silence, it should have started earlier. Why are you doing it now? Is it because you didn't die that they let you know? Found?"

Tom: "Let's not talk about it today. I'm going to investigate and I'll contact you." After Tom finished speaking, he turned around and walked behind the tree, then he rolled out a motorcycle, started it and left.

Jimmy watched Tom leave. He didn't leave in a hurry, but sat on a chair by the lake. The affairs of the past few days still need to be sorted out.

The appearance of Tom caused a huge deviation in Jimmy's original thinking. He thought it was just James' enemy who found someone to take revenge. After all, James has also been a policeman for many years, and now he is a sheriff. So Jimmy's goal has always been the shooter, and after finding the shooter, he can track down the man behind the scenes and solve the problem once and for all.

Now that Tom appeared, a person who had been dead for more than a year suddenly appeared, and he was still a person in a special institution. There were too many variables.The person who monitored James turned out to be the former CIA, so James was probably implicated in something terrible by Tom, which led to someone wanting to kill everyone and kill everyone associated with Tom.

William's former CIA intelligence officer should be the key, but Harden has made it clear that Jimmy will not be involved, and William was also laid down by Jimmy directly. How can he be trusted and let him spit out the truth?
Really, Tom dug a hole for himself again, if he didn't know, it's fine, if he knew, he couldn't think of a way to mess with William again, his heart was itchy.

By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to ask, those signed names on my file, these things that may be useful in the future, I will have a good chat with Tom later.

Looking around, there were no ghosts. Jimmy got up and drove away from the lake, returned to the hotel, and continued to rest.

Waking up in the morning, Jimmy suddenly felt in a daze as if he had a dream, but when he thought of Tom, he immediately picked up his phone and looked at it. The phone call in the early morning did exist in the call log. Jimmy saved the number, then got up and took a shower.

After going out for breakfast, Jimmy came to the county police headquarters. Karg's inspection of the car should have ended, after all, it has been almost a day.Jimmy found Kager in the office. Because of James' case, Kager didn't go to the divisional patrol today, but stayed directly at the headquarters.

Jimmy: "Kag, have you completed yesterday's inspection?"

Karg looked up at Jimmy, "There is no clue. The car has been soaked in the river for a day, and there are no fingerprints or anything on it. There are no personal items in the car, and it is very clean."

Jimmy frowned, if there were no clues here, it would be too troublesome to rely entirely on the people from the maintenance shop. "Is there no clue at all?"

Karg: "Well, I asked someone to ask. After soaking in the Arkansas River for a day, especially with the door still open, even if there are a few bits and pieces in the car, they will be taken away by the river. There is no way to find them below. , I can only give up."

Kag pushed what he was dealing with and stood up, "Is there any news from the FBI?"

Jimmy nodded: "Yesterday we raided a repair shop. The car that monitored James has been repainted, but a few people were arrested. The FBI is interrogating. I can't get involved in this, so I can only wait for their news. currently there is not."

Karg turned to look at Jimmy, "Who's in charge? I'll contact the police station?"

Jimmy: "Detective Harden is responsible, but I don't think it's useless for you to use the name of the police department. I'm still an FBI agent, and I'm also excluded. After all, I'm not from the Little Rock office."

Kag sighed: "Of course it is impossible for other people to intervene in this kind of big case. In fact, after thinking about it, I know that the credit is second. If they need help from other offices to handle a case, it may be embarrassing. No way, I can only wait. Now I don’t even know the height of the shooter, and there is only a video screenshot covered by big sunglasses. How careful are these people. Hey.”

Jimmy: "Well, if you don't have any clues here, I'll check with the FBI first. If there's any news, I'll sync up with you. I'll go first."

After Jimmy finished speaking, he turned around and left the office, drove to the FBI, back and forth, Jimmy has been running back and forth between the headquarters and the FBI office for the past few days, but the harvest is pitiful. Waiting for news from Harden, now, maybe there is a chance to get some information.

While driving, Jimmy remembered the conversation he had with Justin yesterday. It seems that Justin also has some inside information, but maybe even if he asks now, there will be no results.
