North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 68 New Clues
The next day, Jimmy returned to the police station. Although Kag had asked him to fill in the report yesterday, he still felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep well all night.Kag wanted to work steadily until retirement, and if he could do anything less, Jimmy was still young, so he didn't want to just leave the murder case aside.

After receiving the equipment, Jimmy drove the police car directly to the scene of the crime.He parked the police car in front of the house, crossed the blockade and entered the house, putting on his gloves as he walked, this time he reopened his mind and re-checked every corner of the house.

The corpse has been taken away, and other places are the same as yesterday.If no one came into the house last night, theoretically nothing should have been touched.

Jimmy checked every corner, cabinet and box from the kitchen, storage room to the living room under the stairs. According to the images fed back by his mind and eyes, there was no problem, such as kitchen utensils, tools, food, clothes, etc., and then he found an abnormal situation, the living room There seems to be a small space behind the TV cabinet, but it looks like it should be empty, and there should be a mezzanine in the wall behind the TV cabinet in the living room.

Jimmy went to the TV cabinet and observed carefully. There was no trace of movement on the ground. Whether it was left or right or front and back, as long as it moved, there must be traces of dragging and moving, indicating that the entrance of the mezzanine is not here. He looked back , This wall should be the load-bearing wall of the house in theory. Jimmy knocked on it. It should be a brick wall. Behind it is a guest bedroom. I just opened the door yesterday and took a look. Skip it.

I went into the guest bedroom, looked at the corresponding wall, and knocked. The guest bedroom is a wooden wall. It should be a space separated from the brick wall. Then I set up wooden boards and painted it in the same color as the surrounding area to disguise it.Jimmy opened his mind and found a secret door along the space, behind the wardrobe in the guest bedroom.

Jimmy checked the ground under the clothes, and there was no sign of movement. The secret door should not need to be removed from the closet.He opened the closet and shifted the clothes a bit to reveal a movable wooden panel at the back with a shallow handle that could be pulled open.Jimmy turned on the flashlight and probed in to check.

This compartment has a width of 60-70 cm, extends from the ground to the second floor, and has a depth of about 2 meters. The design is very ingenious. It is a solid wall from the living room, and this bedroom is probably rarely used by people, so there are not many people. It can be noticed that there is a considerable space difference between the front and rear walls.

There are traces of things being dragged on the floor of the secret room. It is very new and the area is not large. Judging from the size, it should look like a bucket bag or a long travel bag, because the dust on the ground is inconsistent with other places.There is no storage in other places, and there is dust on the ground. It seems that there are not many opportunities for this space to be used.

Jimmy closed the secret door, put his clothes back on, left the bedroom, and continued to check the upstairs room, but found no other secret door or unusual things, and the strangest thing was that there was no gun cabinet or gun box or shelf in the whole house , Is this an anti-gun faction?This is Arkansas, a conservative southern state.

Jimmy walks out of the house and begins a new round of investigative inquiries of the neighbors.Several households who had already asked yesterday repeated the questions and answers, which were basically the same as what they said yesterday. A neighbor who had not asked yesterday gave Jimmy an unexpected surprise.

"Kag, it's me, Jimmy, there are new clues in yesterday's case. Where are you, let's meet and tell."

Jimmy called Karg and drove to meet him.

Although Kag is a superintendent, he is also on patrol, but he is not the same as Jimmy. He is more Buddhist. When Jimmy found him, he was resting in the field.

This is also the normal state of many police officers. When there is nothing to do, they either drive on the road and patrol boringly, or find a safe place where no one is there to rest and daze, waiting for the notification from the dispatch center.

"Kager, approached someone who seemed to have witnessed the suspect's departure, and he provided a lead. He saw a man on their street yesterday in a blue sedan, model unknown.

Caucasian male, 180-190 cm, athletic build, short hair, green T-shirt, jeans, carrying a black travel bag.

We can check the traffic cameras around and we should be able to find this blue car. "

Kag looked at Jimmy speechlessly. He had sorted out the clues and evidence yesterday, just to put the case aside and wait for others to deal with it.

"Jimmy, you go back to the police station first, I will contact the chief to apply for surveillance video, and you follow up on this case."

Jimmy looked at Karg helplessly. He had made up his mind and was determined not to get into trouble.It's okay, anyway, I want to handle this case myself, and I can take over the whole thing and do it myself, but no one will take the thunder from above, in case it explodes...

Jimmy returned to the police station. The chief had already contacted the dispatch center. The traffic camera video needs to go through a lot of procedures to get it. Now he can only wait.

In the afternoon, Jimmy finally got a few boxes of traffic video tapes, which certainly couldn't be the original video, but the copies of several intersection videos designated by Jimmy.He turned on the video player at the police station and started playing traffic videos before and after the incident.Because there are several intersections around, there are many video tapes and the time is relatively long.

After several hours of repeated playback and comparison, Jimmy's eyes were almost blind.Because it is necessary to pause and rewind at any time during playback, and the size of the current TV is relatively small, in order to see clearly, Jimmy sits directly in front of the TV and pauses at any time.

After repeated comparison and recording, Jimmy found a total of three blue cars that fit the description, all of which had Arkansas license plates. After carefully checking the license plate numbers, he called the dispatch center and asked for the information of these three cars.

The unexpected happened, two cars were normal, while the third had a fake license plate.

Jimmy directly locked his eyes on the car with the fake license plate. Judging by the intersection of the recorded traffic intersection and the direction of the vehicle, the direction should be westward. As for the destination, it is not yet clear. The follow-up video needs to contact the dispatching center again to apply for access.

As for the two normal vehicles, they were directly passed. If the fake license plate is not fixed, then contact them.

Jimmy asked the dispatch center to check the last whereabouts of the car with the fake license plate. It will take time. Today is definitely a dead end. Jimmy has arranged things and then got off work. Although there is no patrol today, he is really tired.

Jimmy came home, ate something casually, washed up and went to bed, and woke up naturally the next day after sleeping, and the alarm hadn't sounded yet.
