North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 360 Leisure Time (Happy New Year)
Jimmy finally settled this long-running case. Although it was a closed trial, it was a big hit for the FBI. Jimmy also became famous in the Manhattan office. For this young Chinese kid, many people They are all very friendly, and there are a lot of situations where they meet and say hello. Many times Jimmy can't call each other's name.

In fact, until the end of the case, Jimmy still had some regrets, because the mastermind Noor was not caught, and they still have no way to determine which country or organization planned this terrorist attack, although Abdul is from the base organization, but the identities of others are so complex that there is no way to aggregate them into a related organization.

Gordon's words were also fulfilled. According to the gossip from the DC headquarters, this time there will be a breakthrough in the previous annual unified awards, and an additional award ceremony will be prepared for case investigators in the middle of the year.The news came from Gordon, who secretly called Jimmy to prepare him a little bit.

Soon, Jimmy received a notice from Hughes to go to DC with him, and this is a good thing to come.

At the FBI's Washington headquarters, Jimmy followed Hughes in, wearing a black suit and polished leather shoes.In a small conference room, it has been decorated in advance, FBI badges and American flags have been placed.

Jimmy and Gordon sat in the first row, and next to Jimmy was Hughes who accompanied him, while the person next to Gordon was completely unknown. In fact, Jimmy didn't know anyone in the entire conference room.For some reason, Jimmy always felt that this award ceremony was not very formal. There were only a few people sitting in the audience, and none of Gordon's subordinates were present.

Colleen Lorre, Deputy Director of the FBI Headquarters, took the stage. She took the script and read a passage of awards, mainly for the cracked bomb attack case, and reiterated the FBI's responsibilities. A cameraman next to him was videotaping, and another Ming is taking pictures.

After the awards were read, Gordon stepped onto the stage first and was awarded the FBI Shield of Bravery (The FBI Shield of Bravery). After taking a photo with the deputy director Colleen Lore with the open medal box and the award certificate, Jimmy took the stage , is the same process, show the medals, and take a group photo.

After the very brief ceremony, Jimmy was sent back to New York by Hughes, who remained at headquarters.Confused, Jimmy went to the airport to fly back to New York, and ran to the headquarters with great interest, but it was only a half-day trip. He felt like a puppet being manipulated to complete the award ceremony.

There seems to be some shady activity here, and Gordon didn't give a reminder, and Jimmy was too embarrassed to call to ask, so he had to come back first.

This Shield of Courage must be brought to the office. It will be more face-saving when placed on the table. This is also the first FBI medal that Jimmy has won since he came to the FBI. It feels very good. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can consider getting more several.

Now there are three honors on Jimmy's table, one is the Pulaski County Honorary Sheriff Badge, and the Distinguished Service Medal that he received at the same time, and the second is the Secret Service Commendation Order, which rewards Jimmy when he faces danger. The heroic act of protecting the Vice President, the third is the FBI's brave shield.Once the rows are finished, Jimmy feels that there are fewer of them the more he looks at them. It is better to get more, and then they will not be placed on the table, but directly hung on the wall.

Hughes came back the next day, and Deputy Director Dave had already made preparations. They arranged to send the photo of the award obtained from the headquarters to that TV station, and the complete video obtained from T14 Scar was also synchronized. Provided to the TV station, of course, the part where Jimmy and the others cleaned up the warehouse next door was cut off.

The TV station has already been settled by Dave and the others in advance, leading the topic, the TV station is its strength, the same video has changed from the initial murderer to a heroic FBI agent, a star of tomorrow, a new star of a minority, nothing at all What kind of question is even more topical than before.

Of course, Jimmy himself was kept in the dark about these things, and the bosses only wanted results. As for whether Jimmy would accept it, it was basically out of their consideration.

When Jimmy was squinting on the sofa in the office at noon, the phone rang. When he picked it up, it was Nia. It was so strange. After the case was over, Jimmy rarely had a leisurely time. Jimmy called Nia several times. .

Jimmy: "Hey, Nia, are you on vacation today? Shall I find you?"

Nia didn't seem to expect Jimmy to say hello like this: "You're on the news again. Go and see for yourself." After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone.

Well, I thought she had become more active.Jimmy turned on the TV, changed several channels and didn't say anything about Jimmy.By the way, what Nia said just now is on the news again, it is probably a follow-up to the last video.Jimmy didn't care too much, the case is over, if it doesn't work, just apply for a press conference to explain to the above.

With the TV on, Jimmy didn't feel sleepy any more. He got up and looked through the FBI files. Unfortunately, he didn't see any news about him until he got off work.Today's TV does not have the playback function of the Internet era, which makes Jimmy very sad.

After get off work, Jimmy didn't go home, but drove directly to the police station, "Hi, Chuck, how are you doing? Nia, are you free tonight?"

Chuck was just about to reply, come on, this guy didn't come looking for him at all.

Nia looked up at Jimmy, then looked down at the file: "Work overtime."

Jimmy smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you."

Chuck stretched out his hand and pulled Jimmy back who was lying on Nia's table, "It seems that you are very free, just right, help me look at this."

Jimmy looked at Chuck angrily, this old guy is really hateful. "What's up?"

"The taxi driver's death case is the third one recently. If you can't find any clues, I will definitely find it for you." Chuck took a file and gave it to Jimmy.

Jimmy took the file and said to Chuck fiercely: "I shouldn't have come. Hey."

The taxi was parked in a small alley, and the driver was shot and killed from behind, lying on the steering wheel when he died.

Jimmy looked at the scene investigation report, but there was no clear clue. Judging from the trajectory, it should be the person sitting on the right back who shot the driver in the head.The fingerprints on the car have no reference meaning at all, because the fingerprints are intertwined, it is too complicated, many fingerprints are interlaced, and there is no way to identify them.

No bullet casings were found in the compartment, nor were there any items left in the back row.The driver's wallet was taken out, but the wallet was not taken away, the money was not taken away, and the change was still there.

Weird case, it doesn't look like a robbery, and it doesn't look like a random crime.

Jimmy: "Chuck, what about the other two cases?"

Chuck clicked on the pile of files on the table, and Jimmy picked them up to look at them. They were basically the same. Not all the money from the driver was taken away, and the change was still there.It's just that the locations are different. The first one was in Harlem, Manhattan, the second one was in the Bronx, and the third one was in Queens.

Jimmy: "Aren't there any witnesses? Did anyone around hear the gunfire?"

Chuck shook his head: "No, this is the troublesome thing, and the police are still investigating near the third case."

Jimmy: "What about the background checks for the three drivers? None of them are written here."

Chuck: "It's not finished yet. The basic information is there, but the social relationship has not been fully confirmed."

Jimmy: "It doesn't look like a random crime, the murderer should be looking for someone."

Chuck: "Well, we thought of it, so we are investigating the social relationship now. If there is a connection between them, we can also determine who the murderer's target is as soon as possible."

Jimmy: "Okay, I don't think too much for the time being, you keep busy. Give Nia a break first? I just finished a case, so it's rare to take a break."

Chuck angrily withdrew the file from Jimmy, "Ask her yourself."

Jimmy leaned on the baffle of Nia's desk again, "Nia, I ordered Chinese food in China Town, let's go there together."

Nia looked up at Jimmy with a headache, and pressed her right hand to her forehead. Jimmy continued to nag: "Chuck agreed, let's go."

"Okay." Nia stood up, tidied up the things on the table, then turned and walked to the dressing room.

"Yeah!" Jimmy got up and stood next to Chuck: "Thank you, Chuck. By the way, I'll give you a suggestion, first investigate the gang that took the taxi share, they may have some other clues, the dead person may related to them."

Most of the better Chinese restaurants in Chinatown serve locals, and they are basically time-honored brands.There are only some well-known stores where other people come more. Of course, the taste has basically been improved.

Jimmy did not have any special requirements. When eating with Nia, it was naturally based on her taste, so there was no particularly spicy boiled meat or the like.After being free recently, she has been in contact with Nia more times. From the current point of view, it seems that Nia does not reject Jimmy, but the relationship is still a little bit far from sex.

Jimmy: "Nia, what happened to the news you called this afternoon? I have something to do today, so I haven't checked it all the time."

Nia: "Oh, it's amazing, the rising star, the Bravery Shield Medal, the new FBI agent, etc."

Jimmy was at a loss, "I just got the medal yesterday, the reward for this bomb case. What's going on with the others?"

Nia: "You really don't know? The full version of the last video has been released. I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting. The host said that you are the star of the new generation of FBI agents."

Jimmy thought for a while, and probably understood: "I see, it seems that they didn't plan to launch a press conference, and directly used the video or photos of the awarding ceremony together with the previous video for publicity. By the way, I showed my face Is it?"

Nia: "Of course, otherwise how would I know that you did it!"

Jimmy: "Ah, it's really nothing. It was an emergency, but fortunately they didn't come out together, so it's not a big problem. It's just that a few people were knocked down. None of them died."

Nia: "What about the other video? The news this time did not refute the second video."

Jimmy didn't know what to say. Could it be that he was killing people like hemp? "That was a special situation. My colleague was shot by them in the room. I could only save people, so I acted harder. Don't worry, I haven't always been like this."

Nia shook her head, "I don't think you are cruel, but I think it's amazing. I've asked many colleagues, and most of them don't know how to handle it. They still want to ask you for advice."

Jimmy nodded: "This is nothing special. In an emergency, people will break through the limit, and it's normal to do something that can't be done normally."

Nia: "So you want to chat with them? Have a little fan meeting?"

Jimmy: "Huh? I still have fans?"

Nia: "Of course, you don't think that everyone can't see how difficult the situation in the video is? What's more, he's a rising star!"

Jimmy: "What about you? Do you think I should go?"

Nia nodded: "Of course, but it's better to wait until you are free."

Jimmy: "OK, you can set a time. By the way, have you finished your police detective exam?"

Nia: "Well, the exam is over, and the police uniform will be changed soon."

Jimmy: "That's time to celebrate. Go for a drink?"

Nia gave Jimmy a white look. Although the reason was very casual, it was barely acceptable.

The bar Jimmy chose was the one next to his apartment. When he first met Nia at the bar, he was also in this bar.Speaking of which, this is the second time to drink with Nia. The first time was when Nia came to the bar with friends during New York Fashion Week.

Jimmy still held back and didn't check her information while handling the case.But it doesn't matter. Jimmy is not Peter's kind of person. He is narrow-minded. After meeting Elizabeth, he directly used the FBI database to query her information. When he first found out about her, he was shocked. He didn't expect Peter, a straight steel man who looks so upright. There are times like this.

Most of the time, everyone's aesthetics are very consistent. Young girls with tall blond hair and beautiful looks are always everyone's favorite, just like the standard Hollywood has always chosen for American sweethearts.

When drinking, there is no need to talk about those jobs and other messy things. Jimmy and Nia talked about some hobbies and interests, plus occasional dirty jokes, which made her laugh out loud. It's different.

Of course, this is the result of Jimmy deliberately leading the topic. Nia is different from the girls he usually hooks up with in bars. This is the first time he has actively chased someone, so he didn't make too many gestures to hint or anything. It's all done at the normal pace of chasing girls.

Under the active cooperation of Jimmy and the stimulation of alcohol, the two finally gradually approached from a slight estrangement, and the seats were adjusted from right angles to sitting side by side until the two kissed together. It didn't matter who took the initiative. The current result It is already a great progress.

Nia was obviously intolerant to alcohol. She didn't drink much, her face was flushed, and her eyes were slightly blurred, but she still looked sober. She leaned on Jimmy's shoulder, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, the waiter suddenly brought up a glass of cocktail, "Hey, Jimmy, Woody invites you, the name of this glass is 'True love'." The waiter put down the cocktail, said to Jimmy with a smile, and left after speaking .

Jimmy looked at Woody, the bartender at the bar. He raised his glass to signal Woody, and Woody also picked up a glass of water to respond.Jimmy took a sip. The combination of lemon and honey was slightly sour and slightly sweet, paired with the spicy alcohol and some flavors he didn't know. The combination was really good, and he wanted to drink it all up.

"Woodie's special, it tastes great, Nia, do you want to try it?" Jimmy handed the wine glass to Nia, who also took a shallow sip, closed her eyes and nodded.

It seemed that Nia had drunk too much, Jimmy looked at the time, "Nia?"

"Ok?"

"Do you want to continue?"

Nia shook her head, still looking sober, but it was about time to leave the bar.Jimmy and Nia drank the wine Woody gave, and then Jimmy got up and left with Nia in his arms.

The bar is next to Jimmy's apartment. After they left the bar, Jimmy hugged Nia and asked, "Do you want to go up for a cup of coffee?"

Nia looked up and kissed Jimmy, "I need to go back, otherwise the family will go crazy."

Jimmy nodded, and hailed a taxi to take Nia back. Although it was not midnight, but after all, it was safer to take her back after drinking.

Bypassing Central Park from the Upper West Side and coming to the Upper East Side, Jimmy was a little numb. It seemed a mistake for him not to investigate Nia in advance. How could ordinary police officers live in the Upper East Side?I can't even afford houses here.

"Please wait a moment." Jimmy explained to the driver, and then got out of the car with Nia. Nia looked at Jimmy, reached out to hug him and kissed him, then turned and entered the apartment building with a smile.

Jimmy watched Nia enter the apartment, then got into a taxi, and returned to his apartment.
