North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 216 Goodbye John
Jones took the equipment and went out to follow Gary, Peter and Diana returned to their respective positions to deal with things, Jimmy sat in his position and waited for John Butler.John had called Jimmy in the morning, and he arrived at Federation Square around 10 o'clock.

Fortunately, as a member of the Secret Service, John has no problem going upstairs, and there is no need for Jimmy to go down to pick him up.

When John entered the office, he saw Jimmy at the front, "Hi, Jimmy."

Jimmy looked up and saw John. He was not wearing a uniform today, but a suit, holding a silver-white box in his hand.

Jimmy stood up and shook hands with John: "Hi, John, long time no see. Let's go to the conference room to chat."

John followed Jimmy upstairs and into the conference room.

Jimmy took a bottle of mineral water from the tea room and gave it to John, "John, what are you looking for me this time? Your Secret Service is very busy."

John: "Well, there is indeed something, but for you, it's a good thing."

John put the box on the table, opened it, took out a framed picture, and handed it to Jimmy.

John: "Thank you for your help in the last mission. Sorry, I should have invited you to Washington DC to collect it, but for some reason, this reward came a bit late."

Jimmy took a look at the award certificate above, and only wrote to Jimmy Young, thank you for your outstanding contributions to the US Secret Service.Signed below is Secret Service Director Brian Stafford.

Jimmy: "Thank you, please come over here."

Jimmy put the certificate of commendation on the conference table and said to John: "I think you came here on a special trip, you should not just send a certificate of commendation, John."

John: "Well, it's mainly because there are some things that are inconvenient to say on the phone. You didn't tell anyone about the accident that happened to the Vice President in Little Rock last time, did you?"

Jimmy thought for a while: "There should be none, except James, you know, I can't hide such a big thing from the director."

John: "There is no problem with James. If you haven't said anything to other people, don't say it in the future. There is a confidentiality agreement here, and you need to sign it."

Jimmy signed a non-disclosure agreement, John took the agreement back, put it in the box, and then closed the box and put it next to the chair.

Jimmy: "It seems serious from what you said? It's been almost a year now, can you tell me about the specific situation? That was the first time I encountered a bombing case."

John: "Well, since you are already in the FBI, you can say it. You should have learned the content related to the identification of the explosion scene in the FBI academy, right? The attack on the vice president was very weird. Their deployment in the front, and The final ambush was good, but the two bombs were seriously out of balance. At that distance, our people were not seriously injured, and the two bombs were only so powerful, and we already noticed something was wrong at that time."

Jimmy: "Well, I didn't feel it at the time, but after learning about the explosion, I don't believe that the people around, especially their targets, would be intact after two explosions at a distance of 20 meters."

John: "We also started the investigation based on this suspicious point. The investigation on the scene and related investigations in Little Rock ended very early, and then we conducted some verifications on the intelligence system, and then the tragedy in September occurred.

The cross-investigation of the September tragedy by multiple agencies found some problems. Multiple clues have a little connection with several other bombings, such as the bombing of the World Trade Center in 9 and 93, the hijacking in 96, and the attack on the vice president last year. case. "

Jimmy: "So many? Are they all made by people from the Middle East?"

John: "According to the clues, yes. But we traced it according to the clues, and then found that there seems to be something wrong with our intelligence system. It is almost done now, so your reward has also been postponed for half a year. Issued to."

Jimmy: "Oh, it seems that there is a lot of complexity behind this case, but thank you for telling me this."

John: "If you hadn't killed the suspect at that time, I don't know how serious the consequences would be. In fact, it was still very thrilling at that time. Well, my mission is completed, and I need to return to DC as soon as possible, that's all."

Jimmy and John stand up, shake hands, and walk John into the elevator.

When Jimmy returned, Peter and Diana were already in the conference room, and Peter was holding Jimmy's award certificate in his hand.

Peter: "The Secret Service is gone?"

Jimmy: "Well, he gave me this, and signed a non-disclosure agreement by the way."

Peter: "Well, it seems to be a very important matter. Well, you have also seen the person you are waiting for. Contact Jones quickly and monitor with him."

Jimmy: "yes, sir" Jimmy took the photo frame of the award certificate, put it on his desk, and went out.

Jimmy didn't have a car yet, so he took a taxi to Jones' location, and then got into the monitoring car.

Jimmy: "Jones, how are you?"

Jones: "The target has been set. Gerard Dorsett, now it's time to follow him, he just entered the front gallery."

Jimmy: "OK." Jimmy also picked up the earphones and started staring at the monitor monitor.

The next day, the case analysis meeting.

Peter: "Jones, let's talk about the progress."

Jones: "Gerald Dorsett, a French-American, is a loan shark, and he uses company funds to make loans, and if you don't pay back on time, he will burn your office down.

Gary met with Gerald yesterday. He was in the securities company the rest of the time and did not meet anyone else.It is speculated that Gary owed money to Gerald and then used this painting to pay off the debt.

The man Gerald Dorsett brought, Joshua, a veteran, fits Juliana's description, and it should be the painting he stole, and was discovered later because Juliana came back early, with bruises on his face The marks should be from Juliana.

Gerald has been shuttling through various high-end galleries yesterday, and I chatted with one of the galleries. Gerald hopes to sell them a painting, which happens to be Huistenburg's, but he didn't say the name of the painting. "

Peter: "Have you found Gerald's stronghold? Have you found any traces of the painting?"

Jones: "No."

Peter: "It seems that he still needs to take out the painting by himself. OK, let's do this for today. Let's think about how to lure him out."

Peter turned back to his office with his phone in hand.

In terms of connections, Peter is really good. In just a short while, Peter found someone who was willing to help. She was a procurement staff of a certain gallery and had access to Gerald Dorsett.

Under Peter's arrangement, they finally got in touch with Gerald, and asked Gerald to bring the painting to the gallery on the grounds that a rich man was willing to buy it.
