North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 325 Roland's Gift

After the Secret Service arrived, they immediately arranged for the vice president to leave. The previous agents had already taken a first aid kit from his car and treated him once, of course it was only an emergency treatment.In fact, when Jimmy arrived normally, the agent arranged to take the vice president to the hospital immediately, but there were only the agent and Jimmy at the scene, and Jimmy couldn't guarantee that he would have something wrong.

The Secret Service began to investigate the scene and questioned Jimmy at the same time.It is easier for Jimmy to explain. He has a taxi record, and the car has been driving around in Evanston for a long time. The vice president was not unconscious when he came, and he knew exactly when Jimmy arrived. This ends his content.

As for the other agent, it’s not that simple. I don’t know if he has checked his testimony with the vice president. Although Jimmy doesn’t remember much, this guy should be a CIA agent. Their own internal problems caused the current situation. A series of questions, if the communication is not good and there are testimonial loopholes, it will be interesting.

Jimmy found Tom who was busy: "Tom, do you still need me here?"

Tom looked at Jimmy: "What's wrong?"

Jimmy: "I mean, now that you guys are investigating, if there's nothing else, can I go back to New York first? I don't think I can be of much help right now, can I?"

Tom frowned and looked at Jimmy, then turned to look at the colleagues around him who were investigating: "Wait a few more days, you can go back to the hotel and wait for the notice."

Jimmy nodded: "OK, you have my phone number, call me anytime you need it."

Vice President Stand is also unlucky. Not long after he took office, he was bombed once in Little Rock. He was about to leave office. He was kidnapped and shot again. As the vice president and the heir to the high position, he has rich experience. .

Jimmy returned to the hotel to rest. It seems that he will not leave Chicago for a while. He should stay in the hotel honestly. The Secret Service will contact him at any time. The same operation has already happened once in Little Rock. , That time he was investigated and questioned back and forth by the Secret Service.

A week later, Jimmy was completely liberated. The final report of the Secret Service has not yet been released, but people who have nothing to do with the case can already leave. After two rounds, he was let go. He couldn't wait to buy a plane ticket and fly back to New York, never to come to Chicago again.

The vice president returned to DC to recuperate from his injuries. Except for one investigation team left by the Secret Service in Chicago, the others also returned to the headquarters to accept internal investigations. Everything is fine.

On the way back, Jimmy bought another phone, sent Tom a message and went home to rest. On Monday, Jimmy returned to the office after a long absence.

"Hi, Chris, how are you doing?" Jimmy greeted Chris with a smile. This business trip is more than a week, and it seems that he spends far less time in the office than outside.

Chris is enjoying his first cup of coffee in the morning when Jimmy upsets his mood.

"Yo, you still know this is your office, it's fun to play outside." Chris said angrily, he put down his coffee cup and looked at Jimmy, "Why do I feel like you are getting fat?"

Jimmy stood up immediately, buttoned up his suit and turned around. Fortunately, the suit still fit, "No, it looks fine."

"Okay, since you don't feel fat yourself, so be it. I'll work hard when I get back, here you are." Chris handed over a file.

"About what?" Jimmy asked as he opened the file, glanced at the front photo, and closed it.

"FxxK, you did it on purpose." Jimmy yelled at Chris, and the unscrupulous old man grinned loudly.

Generally, the front of the dossier is a photo of the suspect or the victim, either a life photo or a passport photo, but in this dossier, the front photo is a half-decomposed corpse.From the photos, after digging up the soil on the ground, there is a corpse, without a coffin or other barriers, it has rotted and maggots.I won't describe it in detail, so as not to be unable to eat.

The impact of such photos is really strong. Jimmy saw such photos without any mental preparation, and almost threw up.

Reopening the file, turning the photo over and placing it on the table, he began to read the scene investigation report below.

The identity of the deceased is unknown. The body was found in the woods of a park. Due to an abnormality of a pet dog, the dog owner followed the pet dog to the burial site. Since the smell had already begun to emit, the dog owner discovered that there was an abnormality here, and called the police. Excavation from.

The gender of the corpse was determined to be female, and there were no clothes or jewelry around. The bones of the corpse were intact and there were no fractures. Due to the high degree of decay of the skin and muscles, the cause of death could not be confirmed normally. There is visceral congestion, and the method of suffocation cannot be deduced for the time being.Judging by the degree of decay of the corpse and the current temperature, the corpse has been buried underground for more than a week, and the exact time cannot be determined.

"Why do we have such a case? This should be something that NYPD should handle. Is there anything special?" Jimmy turned to look at Chris, hoping to give some hints.

"Well, the NYPD dealt with it. I specially brought the information for you to look at. How about it, based on the current clues, what do you think should be the next step?" Chris looked at Jimmy with a smile on his face, waiting for an answer.

"Um, this kind of case must first determine the identity, but it has rotted so much that the physical characteristics should be gone. The best way is to check the dentist's records to see if there are any matching characteristics. At the same time, record the DNA. If someone Report missing cases and do a DNA test match with their next of kin."

"Anymore?"

"Well, check the surrounding ground to see if there are other buried things. Because the body is naked, her clothes and jewelry are either taken away or buried around. Also, check if there is any transportation around A type of vehicle that can hold a dead body, passing here, the dead body must either have an accident nearby, or be transported from outside, no matter what, the environment around the dead body must be carefully investigated.”

"OK, the case is still with NYPD, but you can investigate it." With a wave of his hand, Chris arranged Jimmy's task.

Jimmy blinked: "No, why should we intervene if it's not our case? Speaking of which, do we really have no case?"

Chris nodded: "There are really no cases. The most recent cases are handled by NYPD itself. If this kind of single homicide is going to our side, it must be very serious, or the victim is a federal employee. The ratio is really high. few."

Jimmy was speechless: "If you don't have a case, take a break, really." Jimmy put the photo back in the file, put on his clothes and set off for Brooklyn.

This time it was an investigation, not a specific investigation of this case. Chris never came out, and Jimmy walked alone, which could be regarded as cultivating his ability.

Jimmy drove to Prospect Park and found the NYPD cordon in the woods by the lake.There were no police officers at the scene to maintain order, but because the body was found here, it was not auspicious, and no one came to watch.

Jimmy put on his gloves and walked into the cordon with the file. Although it was noon, he still felt that it was a bit shady here. He first came to the big pit where the corpses were excavated, and then opened his mind and began to observe.Something was wrong. In his mind's eyes, there seemed to be a color dividing line again.Jimmy walked outside and came to the position of the color dividing line, which cannot be seen with normal vision, but with the state of mind, it can be seen that it is all gray, but the place near the corpse seems to be darker, very slightly.

Jimmy began to move along the color dividing line, and finally determined that it was an irregular circle, not an ellipse, just like when he drew a circle randomly, some waves appeared on the edge of the circle.Jimmy returned to the road and took the map out of the car. Unfortunately, the scale of the map was wrong. This is a map of New York. If it was a map of Manhattan, it would be easier to mark.

He pointed to the area of ​​the park on the map, the protruding location by the lake, the area of ​​the grove is not large, but there is no way to make the circular mark he found on this map, the map is too small.

Back to the location of the corpse, Jimmy continued to use his mind to determine the location. There is no way to mark it on the map. Let’s make it simple. Just walk to determine the number of steps, and walk along the approximate diagonal. Here is a diameter of about 40 steps. Irregular circle, according to the length of Jimmy's steps, the diameter of the circle should be about 30 meters, the radius is about 15 meters, and the distance of Jimmy's step is about 70 centimeters.

After determining the length, Jimmy began to look for the center of the circle, and then looked for unusual things around here.Until he observed with his mind a square with a different color on the ground, it was not big, it seemed to be only 20cm in length and a slap in width, about 10cm. .

Jimmy didn't start digging directly. He lost his mind and began to observe the surrounding situation. It was about 5 meters from here to the pit of the corpse. It was impossible for the NYPD to miss this place during the investigation, but they only observed the ground and did not Go digging. Now it seems that this ground is no different from other places. If I dig it directly, will I have any trouble?
Jimmy came to the color dividing line observed by his mind, first found a few wooden sticks and stuck them on the ground, marked the range, and then left the cordon.

The corpse here has been here for several days, no matter what, there should not be any moths in one day, mark it first, and come back tomorrow to see if there is any change.

Jimmy took off his gloves and was about to leave when the phone rang.

Jimmy: "Who are you?"

A man's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Are you Jimmy? Jimmy Young?"

Jimmy: "Yes, who are you?"

The man said, "Roland asked me to send you a box, where are you?"

Jimmy was silent for two seconds: "Which Roland are you talking about?"

The man said, "The Dark Tower."

Jimmy: "I'm by the lake in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, come and find me."

The person on the other side didn't continue talking, and hung up the phone directly. Jimmy was planning to leave, so let's wait here for a while.

Roland arranged to deliver the box, which was very strange. Before, Roland sent himself two paintings by courier, and now he sent another box, but he himself disappeared for a few months. What happened?
After waiting for more than half an hour, a black man came to Jimmy carrying a box. There was no way, there were too few Asian men by the lake, and he was the only one at present.

Jimmy raised his hand to say hello: "I'm Jimmy Yang. Did Roland tell me anything?"

The black man said, "Only this box. He said he was tired and going home to rest. This is a parting gift for you." Then he handed the box to Jimmy.

Jimmy took the suitcase. It wasn't heavy. It looked like a big suitcase, but it actually only weighed a few kilograms. "Thank you, by the way, what is your relationship with Roland?"

The black man shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary person, I'm going back, goodbye."

The black man turned away, and Jimmy watched his back until he disappeared around the corner.

Jimmy trusts Roland very much, since he sent it, it must be something important.Instead of opening the box outside, he drove back home directly in the car. Although it was still a working day, it was okay to skip work occasionally.

Jimmy carefully checked the surroundings of the box. There was nothing special, and then he opened it. There were two revolvers facing each other inside, similar to Roland's gun. In the middle of the two guns, there was a crystal ball. They both Attaches to the bottom of the case with straps.There was a piece of paper under the handle of the gun, and Jimmy pulled it out first to look at it.

"Jimmy, I have returned to my old home, I am old and don't want to leave here anymore. These are the two guns I found from the previous battlefield, which should be enough for you to use, I hope you can treat them well. I didn't expect A way to enhance your physical fitness, so I found Black Rainbow, hoping to help you. Roland Deshan”

Roland said before that he is not from this world. It seems that no matter who he is, he hopes to return to his roots when he gets old.What about yourself?Where are your roots?

Looking at the note left by Roland, Jimmy was inexplicably sad. He came to this world more than 3 years ago. Although he seems to have integrated into the world, he still feels a little uncomfortable. In fact, he has been drifting in this world all this time. , Although I have experienced a lot, I haven't taken root at all, and I don't know where I can go when I get old.

Jimmy folded the note and put it aside, took out a revolver, took a look, the cylinder was empty, and took a look at the barrel, the rifling inside was clearly visible, and it didn't look like there were many signs of wear and tear, but from the appearance of the gun Looking at it, the traces of use on it are very clear. It seems that this gun is the same as Roland's gun, and it is also made of holy objects.

Coincidentally, with them, Jimmy also has the ability to fight against supernatural events such as wraiths, provided that the gun is really the same as that used by Roland.It seems that Roland still has some expectations for him to inherit the title of Gunslinger, otherwise he wouldn't be sent two guns.

As for the crystal ball, Jimmy looked at it over and over in his hand. It seemed that there was nothing special about it. It was similar to the crystal balls commonly seen in stores. The only abnormal thing was that the black substance was flowing inside, which looked very mysterious, or weird. .

Jimmy put away the gun and crystal ball, then took out the padding under the box, took them to the safe, and put the gun and crystal ball in place.Whether it is useful or not, this is Roland's gift.Jimmy still needs to go back and buy a vernier caliper to measure the inner diameter of the magazine of the revolver and the barrel, so as to determine what bullet is used.
