North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 39 Cases
The hiking route of Hot Springs National Park is marked on the map. In fact, it only takes 2-3 hours. Take a look at the scenery along the way and kill time.

Jimmy looked at both sides as he walked, and he came here to relax. There were basically no hikers on the road today, and it was very clean.

In the past few months, Jimmy has actually been in a relatively busy state. First he worked in the restaurant, and then he drove to patrol and handle cases every day. After the days off, he basically had no free time.Coming out to relax this time can be regarded as rewarding myself for working hard for several months, and I finally settled down stably.

In early spring, there is already some greenery outside. Because of the hot springs in the hot spring park, the temperature and humidity are suitable, and there are basically green leaves all year round, so you don’t only have bare trunks and branches when you come to visit.

Jimmy made a mistake. He didn't bring a camera. These scenery can only be seen, not preserved. He used to take pictures with smartphones, but the mobile phone he uses now has no functions.

One advantage of hiking is that when you see a place you like, you can turn around and look closer at any time. Jimmy saw a piece of flowers and went directly down the road to the side of the flowers, sitting on the ground, just resting next to the flowers and drinking some water.

Suddenly there was a siren sound from the side of the road. Jimmy is very familiar with the sound of the siren now. Is this a police car on the way?

This is within the scope of Hot Spring County and has nothing to do with Pulaski County. Jimmy's police card cannot be used here, and he is too lazy to participate, so he still rests where he is.

Jimmy rested for a while and set off again.After walking for nearly an hour, I saw a police car in front. The police badge on the door belonged to the Hot Spring County Police Department, but the strange thing was that there was no one around. Jimmy looked to both sides, but he didn't find where the police were.

Putting aside his curiosity, Jimmy moved on, and then he was in tragedy.

The sky is unpredictable. The originally clear sky began to float over large swaths of dark clouds. It was originally only a breeze, but now the wind is also increasing.Jimmy looked around a lot, and then looked at the map. The service point marked on it was still a few kilometers away from him.

Looking at the weather, it is estimated that it will rain soon, and he must find a place to shelter from the rain quickly. When he went out, he didn't prepare an umbrella and raincoat in his backpack.

Jimmy looked around as he ran forward, but he couldn't find a suitable place. No, he had to go back. The police car should give him a ride back to Hot Springs.

Jimmy returned quickly, and by the time he got to the police car, the raindrops had already fallen.He shouted "Is anyone there?" beside the police car, but unfortunately there was no response.

Jimmy could only put his backpack on his head and waited beside the police car. It would definitely not work to open the police car and sit in it. Theft of police equipment is a felony.

No, the rain was a bit heavy. Jimmy looked at the sky, and there should be no thunder. He got off the road and went to the next tree to hide from the rain. Although it was not safe, it could at least make him feel better.

After waiting for a long time, the rain is finally about to stop. Now it’s only drizzle, but Jimmy’s body is already soaked. The tree can only block part of the rain, and there is still quite a lot of rain on his body and head. The backpack has no effect at all. Yes, it can be basically judged from the dripping state that the inside should be soaked in water.

The wet clothes and pants made Jimmy very uncomfortable. Let alone hiking, Jimmy just wanted to get back to his car, turn on the air conditioner and take off his clothes.

At this moment, Jimmy saw a policeman coming down the hill, wearing a police uniform and a police raincoat.Jimmy hurried back on the road and yelled at the police.

"Hey, officer, can you help me go down the mountain? I'm all wet and I need to go down the mountain and change my clothes."

"Sorry, there is a case that is being dealt with, and I won't go down the mountain for the time being." The policeman opened the trunk and took out a bag from it. Jimmy also took a look, and there was something wrong. He also had this bag in the police car, and it contained blood collection. Test tubes and fingerprint developing reagents, used to collect evidence.

"Okay, then I'll go down by myself." Jimmy shrugged and turned to leave, then he asked one more question. "There's a murder here?"

"How do you know? Who are you? Stand still. Put your hands up."

"Calm down, calm down. I'm a cop too, Pulaski County Police. I'm here today for a hike."

The police came over and handcuffed Jimmy's hands behind his back. Jimmy didn't resist, but he didn't stop talking.

"I have a certificate in my trouser pocket, you can take it out to see. I just asked when I saw the bag, I have nothing to do with your case."

"Don't move." The police did not directly take Jimmy's ID, but first searched him for a round. There was a revolver in the armpit holster and two quick loaders hanging on the belt. The police took it out and put it in the The top of the police car before taking the wallet out of Jimmy's pants pocket, which did indeed contain a driver's license and a police ID.

The officer returned to the police car, picked up the radio and called dispatch.

"Call dispatch, check ID, Jimmy Young, Pulaski County Sheriff's Department, number XXX."

"There is no problem with identity verification." Feedback from the dispatch center.

The policeman got out of the police car, came over and uncuffed Jimmy. "Sorry bro, you know, that's the way it goes."

"It's okay, I understand. What happened on the mountain?" After the handcuffs were released, Jimmy put his gun and loader away from the roof of the car, and took back his wallet and documents.

"A murder in which a middle-aged man and a young man were found dead in the forest."

"OK, don't bother you, I'll go down the mountain first, or I'll catch a cold in a while. Goodbye."

Jimmy waved goodbye to the police, and started running towards the hot spring city. Exercise more, and the body is hot, which is better than walking in wet clothes like this, at least not so prone to hypothermia.

Jimmy quickly ran back to the parking lot, got into his car, and took out everything in his backpack, which was already wet, including his own lunch inside.There was no change of clothes in the car, so I could only turn on the car air conditioner and fight hard in underwear.

Jimmy didn't have a change of clothes. Today's hiking can only end here. He drove back home, took a hot bath, then went to the nearby supermarket to buy green onions and ginger, and continued to make ginger soup when he came back.

I don't have a cold yet, and there is no need to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for the time being. I drink a bowl of warm ginger soup first, and then lie on the bed and go to sleep.

The quality of this body is not bad, and it has not been sick for several months.Not sure if it was the ginger soup that helped, no sign of a cold at all, no headache, no stuffy or runny nose, no sneezing, perfect.

Jimmy woke up from hunger. When he was buying onion and ginger, he only thought about ginger soup. He didn’t buy any ingredients for lunch, so he had to go to the supermarket again, bought a la carte and pasta, and made lunch when he came back. Not very good, finally filled the stomach.
