North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 154 The Victim Who Disappeared
A group of people were a little dazed, they entered the forest from the side of the house, followed K9 around inside, did not find the victim, and left the forest from behind the house instead.

The K9 police officer took K9 to re-identify the blood, and then entered the forest again. Half an hour later, they came out of the forest again, and they still came to the back of the house. If K9 did not make a mistake, it is likely that the injured person was Back here, but the victim was not found at the scene.

The police began to search around here, but there were no special traces.Except for the tire marks of a pickup truck at the door, no other tire marks were found here, which means that the victim should not have left by car.

Jimmy followed suit. He had already scanned the house with his mind and found no one lurking nearby, nor did he find any hidden spaces like the basement, so how did this injured person leave?
The police contacted the dispatch center to check whether the surrounding hospitals had admitted patients with stab wounds. After waiting for a long time, the dispatch center replied that none of the registered clinics or hospitals had received stab wound patients.

After more than 2 hours of investigation, it can only be recorded as an unsolved case. Except for the police officers of the North District Bureau who also need to visit neighbors who are far away to investigate, other police officers have returned to their respective locations one after another, and Jimmy has also returned to the police. headquarters.

Today's disappearance case is a bit weird. They went around the forest and returned to the house to rule out that there was a problem with K9. Then the victim must have taken such a route, but he disappeared. If he was killed, then the body Where did it go?If he hadn't been killed, and the surrounding hospitals and clinics didn't accept such patients, it's impossible not to deal with the stab wounds.

After Jimmy returned to the police station, he kept thinking about this case, and drew the surrounding route map and the route they were looking for in the woods on the paper. Although the route in memory may not be very clear, it can still be seen. After they entered the woods, they circled an irregular semicircle, and the key turning point was the location where the dagger was found on the tree.

K9 turned around when he found the dagger, left the straight line when he entered the forest, and started to turn around. Could something affect K9's judgment?
Jimmy was overthinking it. This was the first time he had really come into contact with this kind of weird case. It used to be a normal law and order case, which could be solved by mediating with the neighbors or shooting.

There is only one case similar to this, which is the disappearance case in the beach. At that time, Karg asked him to give up the case and did not continue to pursue it. At that time, he also walked into the forest alone, and then disappeared.

Really can't figure it out, Jimmy can only call Karg again and ask if this situation has been found outside the beach before.

Although Kag has become a pure day-to-day person, he has been in the police station for more than 20 years after all, and it is definitely better to ask him directly if he doesn't know the question than to think about it here.

Kag recalled that there was no such weird case. Generally, if the victim was not found, it was usually transferred by means of transportation, but Jimmy and the others did not find traces caused by vehicles other than pickup trucks at the scene.

Jimmy had no choice but to put the case on hold. Now the case is pending with the North District Bureau. He is only supporting him. The follow-up questions basically have nothing to do with him and will not affect his assessment at all.

After waiting for a while, Jimmy clocked out of get off work, changed his clothes and drove his car away from the police station.I made an appointment with Jon to go to his wolf house restaurant before, but I haven't been there for a long time, so we can get together.

When Jimmy came to the wolf house, he found two acquaintances who should not have appeared. Jerry brought Mary to Little Rock, but instead of looking for Jimmy directly, they contacted Jon and made an appointment with him. After the location, Jon will contact Jimmy and give him a surprise.

A group of people who hadn’t seen each other for a long time spent the dinner time happily, celebrating Jerry’s new life. Due to inheriting Kevin’s inheritance, Mary is now a little girl who is already considered a small asset. Although Jerry is still bankrupt Records, but if you live with Mary, there is no problem at all, and you can be regarded as a new life.

Jerry now looks more energetic than the old homeless man, and his thin face has begun to show signs of fat. Looking at the smile on Jerry's face, he must be very happy living with his daughter now.

Jimmy was also very happy to see Jerry, but Jerry didn't tell Jon what happened before, so everyone else thought it was a celebration of Jerry's rebirth, rather than Jerry making a special trip to thank Jimmy.

At the end of dinner, Jimmy's phone rang just in time. He glanced at it and saw that it was Chief James calling him.

Jimmy said goodbye to the others and walked out of the restaurant to answer James' call.

James: "Jimmy, are you free now?"

Jimmy: "Free, what's up, James?"

James: "Then you come to my house, now."

Jimmy: "Okay, James, I'm going right away."

Jimmy has never been to James' home. Although he knows the address, but because he has nothing to do, he basically meets every day at the police station, and there is nothing that needs to be discussed at James' home.

This time it was a bit unusual. Jimmy drove to James' house while thinking about what was going on.

James' home is in a community by the Arkansas River, which is a high-end community. When Jimmy was considering buying a house, he never considered it at all, because it was a bit outrageously expensive. Buying a house is also a long way off.

He showed the community security with the county police badge, and Jimmy entered the community smoothly. This high-end community is still very safe, and the security force is relatively strong. They usually check unfamiliar vehicles.

Jimmy parked the car on the side of the road, walked to James's house and knocked on the door. An old white woman opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Jimmy: "Good evening, are you Mrs. Baldwin? I'm County Sheriff Jimmy Young. I'm looking for Chief James Baldwin."

Mrs. Baldwin: "Oh, I know you, come in, James is waiting for you."

Jimmy followed Mrs. Baldwin in and came to James' study.

Mrs. Baldwin: "Jimmy is here, let's talk." Then she left the study.

James put down the newspaper in his hand, took off his glasses, and said to Jimmy, "Jimmy, sit down." James got up, took out a black hard briefcase from the cabinet under the bookshelf next to him, turned around and put it on the table.

James: "Jimmy, here is a briefcase that Tom designated for you. His estate lawyer sent it over this afternoon."
