North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 80

Jimmy is very bored on the return trip, but someone is very concerned about this car.

The State Police Criminal Investigation Division (Criminal Investigation Division) has 6 divisions under its jurisdiction, of which Division A is located in Little Rock.

Detective Rob Hodge of Division A took over the last homicide case. For the case of murdering a woman with a pistol with a silencer, the Criminal Investigation Department still attaches great importance to it, because such cases represent professional killers. Or career criminals with military experience.

When they got the information last time, they investigated the surveillance in Perry County, but they didn’t find the blue car, so the case was temporarily shelved. This time, the same blue car appeared again in Pulaski County, so it is basically possible. It was determined that the car did not leave Pulaski County, but was lurking in some unmonitored places.

In fact, strictly speaking, since the car did not leave Pulaski County, he could return the case directly to the county police department, but he really couldn't afford to lose that person.

After the dispatch center reported the situation to the criminal investigation department, Rob Hodge directly contacted the intelligence center of the criminal investigation department to retrieve the camera footage around the area Jimmy reported, and he wanted to investigate it himself.

After the video investigation, Rob Hodge drew the driving route of the blue car, and finally identified three areas. The first is the area where the car disappeared, which is where they last appeared. They may still be in this area, and there are also Probably ran off through the road without cameras.

The second area is Carmack, where they stayed for a long time.This might be one of their strongholds.

The third area is near Pinnacle Mountain State Park. The range of the first camera they appeared this time was on Highway 300, so their activity trajectory may be in the northwest corner of Pulaski County and the border of Perry County.

Rob Hodge contacted Carmack's town police department and asked them to help collect information on whether there is any local surveillance that can capture the blue car. This is the most suspicious place. For such killers, if they are deliberately staying away from their lair If they stay in a certain place, then nine out of ten there is the other party's stronghold or respondent in that place, and there is also a possibility that they are on a mission in the local area, so the people in the town police station can also find out early whether there is a case in the local area.

Real police detectives are not the kind of people in movies and TV shows who are looking for clues outside, they are more in the office to collect and screen the information submitted by the police or other departments, analyze and organize, sort out clues, and some on-site investigations , unless necessary, or contact the local patrol to investigate.

It can be said that in the processing time of a case, at least 70% of the time, the police detectives do not leave the gate of the police station.This is completely different from what we see in film and television dramas.Of course, that kind of stalking and the like don't count.

In novels, police detectives are more inclined to the model of film and television dramas, which is to find clues, set out to search, stalk, track, arrest and so on.A statement in advance to avoid misunderstanding.

After Rob Hodge arranged the investigation, he continued to deal with other cases. Every detective is a valuable resource. It is impossible to have only one case in hand. It is impossible to say that there is a pile of cases, but as long as he is willing to work overtime, he can work 24 hours a day. Live in the police station, the case is endless.

Jimmy didn't know that his notification had caused so many things. The unlucky Carmack police were ordered to investigate the video and interview. Originally, as the town police, their workload was smaller than that of Jimmy and the county police. After all, only It's such a big place, and there's not much going on at ordinary times, it's better to be in a daze than to go out and visit.

Jimmy continues his boring patrol life. He has already given Kag the information that Colin's men went to the garden center to collect money. Jimmy has some doubts about his ability to judge the case. After all, he is inexperienced and prone to things he didn't consider , Now summarize the content to Kag, and feel more relaxed.

It’s not easy for Kag now. Not only does he have to go to work, but he also has to go to a drug rehabilitation center to see his son once every two days. Every time Jimmy sees Kag, he feels even more haggard. It is estimated that if it takes longer, he will be able to lose weight successfully. up.

In the office of the police station, there is a whiteboard with some photos and some block diagrams on it. It is the information collected by Jimmy and Kag. The frog on the top is still empty. There are no photos yet, and there is a hierarchy below. It is also empty, in fact, it is the location of Tim and Thomas, but there is no photo now, and the name is also marked with T.

There are more on the next level. Apart from Colin's original subordinates, there are also a few street characters who look like street gangsters. The wider the collection area, the more ugly Kag's face becomes.

Obviously, the new big frog is more ambitious than the original nuts. It has just taken power for more than 3 months. According to the information from the latest bottom-level informants, their sales scope is much larger than before.

If the range of a single person expands while the number of people remains unchanged, at least it can be inferred that the sphere of influence of the entire group has expanded even more.

If the number of people increases and the scope is larger, then it is very likely that the frog will surpass the level of the head of the original nut-like area and enter the ranks of the criminal family.

Now it is no longer within the scope of Pulaski County. According to the information provided by the informant, there are related sales news in several surrounding counties.

Jimmy didn't care, he didn't take credit for solving the case, he just wanted to kill the drug dealers from the bottom of his heart, so he has been very active in obtaining information.

Kager used his more than 20 years of experience and contacts to fill in the information of this new group by collecting information obtained from different channels.When seeing such a large scope involved, Kag also had a headache. He asked Jimmy to go out to patrol, and walked to the sheriff's office by himself.

Jimmy went out on patrol, and Kag took Chief James to the whiteboard and introduced the relevant information of the team to the chief.After the chief asked some details, he directly decided to submit it to the DEA for handling. This case is a bit big, and the police department can’t handle it. The slippery hand means that people like the chief should not come to him for troublesome things. If you are so old, do it again. Will be retiring soon in a few years.

Jimmy was notified and returned to the police station. The DEA agents had already packed up the materials they had prepared in the office.

An agent walked up to Jimmy, "Are you Assistant Sheriff Jimmy Young?"

Jimmy: "Yes."

Torsten Markus: "DEA Agent, Torsten Markus. Are all the files here?"

Jimmy: "Yes, all the information has been gathered to Superintendent Kager, and there is no other new situation at present."

Thorsten Markus: "OK, we will have a team stationed in Little Rock in the near future, and there may be other issues that need your help."

Jimmy: "No problem, it's the duty."
