North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 334 Clues
When it was time to get off work, Jimmy packed up and was ready to go home. There was no news from Chuck, which was normal. It was impossible to get more news in half a day, and it must be still in the investigation stage.

Jimmy drove past Chinatown, and this time he came here specially to refresh his tea.Speaking of it, I didn’t feel much when I drank it before, but when I invited Ruiz to drink tea, I suddenly felt that I seemed to be doing a little badly. I always have to drink something good when I invite someone to drink tea, and I can’t afford it.

It’s still that tea shop. Jimmy is actually quite lazy. Basically, as long as there is no problem with the shop he is familiar with before, or there is nothing there, he will usually go directly to the familiar shop, and lazily look for colleagues to experience a new feeling.

It was recommended by the shop owner. The Lapsang Souchong that I gave to Mary before was a bit more expensive, more than one hundred yuan and one tael. It is not a daily ration, but it is enough to entertain other people.This time I don't need to buy a tea set. The one I bought before can last for a while, and I will change it later.In addition, I bought some Longjing tea that can be brewed in a glass, and I usually drink it by myself.

I have already spent money on tea, so naturally I need some after-sales service from the boss. Jimmy is learning how to make black tea from the boss, and the boss is also generous. Tea, starting from the second brew, when a Chinese girl walked in from the outside.

"Uncle De, how are you doing now?" The girl didn't care about the guests when she entered the door, and yelled at the boss directly.

The boss called "Uncle De" frowned and looked at her: "Didn't you see any guests? Go out."

Jimmy also turned his head and looked over, um, she looks very good Chinese girl, with straight black long hair, oval face, big eyes, but not too tall, only about 160cm, with a thin body.

"Tch, I'll show you the results of the plastic surgery, but you're still not happy. Just leave." The girl said, turned and left with a shake of her head.

Well, I thought she was a gentle girl when she stood silently, but she turned out to have a hot temper.

Uncle De said sorry, and continued to teach Jimmy to clean the tea set.While learning, Jimmy thought that there seemed to be something just now, and he forgot after turning his mind.

"Uncle De, who was that just now?" Jimmy picked up the cup of the third shot. The owner of the store, Uncle De, taught the complete process, and naturally he wanted to let Jimmy experience the taste of each brew.And because Uncle De's ancestral home is in the north, there is no problem with Mandarin at all, and their communication has always been in Mandarin.

"Hey, my brother's daughter, I don't know what to think, but she just likes those great stars, and she insists on plastic surgery to look like them. Why doesn't a good girl go to school? Thinking about these messes all day long." Uncle De sighed, the older generation couldn’t understand the children nowadays, Jimmy looked young, but he was polite, and he didn’t seem to have the habit of those people on the street, that’s why he was so patient Teach him, otherwise he is just an ordinary customer, who would bother teaching him.

"Plastic surgery? I really didn't see it. It seems that she has a good foundation." Jimmy also shook his head. Those movie stars in his previous life watched a lot, and he also saw this kind of melon-seeded face a lot, and it was not particularly amazing. place.

Plastic surgery, change, Diego is a plastic surgeon, no, there are loopholes in the previous speculation.

Jimmy suddenly remembered what the thought was that passed by just now, that is, the reason why Diego was killed may not be drug trafficking or entertaining other people in his studio to take drugs, but his craftsmanship, could it be one of his customers Come and kill him after plastic surgery?

The plastic surgery failed, ruined the client's appearance, and found a killer to kill him for revenge?Or if the plastic surgery is successful, in order not to let people find out what he looked like before the plastic surgery, kill him to silence him?It's all possible.

Jimmy drank the fifth brew of tea calmly. At this time, it was very, very weak, and the color of the tea was only slightly light yellow. Uncle De said: "See, Lapsang Souchong is brewed normally, and the five teas are brewed normally. The brewing is almost over, and the aftertaste will be much weaker, so if you entertain guests, it is best to clean the teapot and tea set after the fourth brew is poured, and start again, so as not to give a bad impression to the guests."

Jimmy nodded: "Thank you, Uncle De, I see. I have something to do at night, so I won't bother you. Goodbye."

Jimmy took the tea, turned around and left the tea shop, went to the public parking lot and drove back home.

It's already night now, and Chuck and the others are not bad at solving the case so well. Let's go to the police station to find him tomorrow.Now there are three directions, drug trafficking, plastic surgery failure, plastic surgery success, it depends on which of the three directions is the most likely.

Jimmy, who had new clues, was also refreshed, and went straight to the police station early the next morning. Chuck was still at the police station and did not go out to find clues. Good news, Jimmy told his guess, Chuck that Bian also asked someone to bring the list of evidence, and Jimmy and Chuck checked it. There is no case file of Diego here.

Chuck frowned. He must have been to his studio during the investigation before. If he didn't get it back, it is still a question of whether he can find it in the past.

Chuck put the evidence list back on the table, picked up the clothes and took Jimmy to Diego's studio.Fortunately, the studio has been closed since Diego's death, and nothing has been touched inside.Speaking of it, it has been 2 weeks, and Diego's family is still immersed in grief, and they are not in a hurry to clean up Diego's things.

Chuck and Jimmy entered the studio and did not look for it by themselves, but were waiting for someone. The front desk had already contacted in advance, and she would come over to help get the materials later.

Jimmy also took a look. There was no surveillance in the studio and the corridors outside. It seemed that if there was information, it would be a hassle to find someone.

In other words, Diego's vision is really good. The girl at the front desk is very beautiful. She looks about 30 years old, Hispanic, with wheat-colored skin, and long dark hair with slightly curly ends.

Opening the file cabinet in Diego's office, the case file was taken out, "It's strange, there is a file missing." The girl rummaged through the office while talking to herself.

Chuck: "What's going on? When is the file missing?"

Sister: "There should be 3 case folders here, but now there are only 2, and the latest one that is currently in use is gone. It should have been recorded in the middle of last year."

Chuck and Jimmy looked at each other, it seems that the problem lies here, "You look again, and besides, do you still have the appointment information here?"

Girl: "Yes." She took out a register from the filing cabinet, handed it to Chuck, and continued to search for the latest case file.

In the end, they still couldn't find the case folder. There was nothing they could do. It seemed that the cases in the case folder should be what Chuck and the others were looking for, but fortunately, the information in the register was still there.

Jimmy returned to Federation Square, and Chuck returned to the police station with the register. They had a lot of people there, so they could find out all the registration information and compare it with the system to determine the corresponding personnel.Jimmy will not participate in this troublesome matter. He found out the key information of this case, and there is no need to handle everything by himself.

The long week is coming to an end, Jimmy packs up his things and prepares to go home. It's time to relax on the weekend. It's been a long time since he went out for a walk to relax. After having his own apartment, Jimmy spends significantly more time at home than before.

When I was in Little Rock, it was normal for me to go out after get off work. Even if I had nothing to do, it was good to kill time. After coming to New York, it seemed that Jimmy was not so careful when he was born again. He goes out frequently, and after buying his own house, he tends to be more of an otaku.

After going home for a simple dinner, Jimmy changed his clothes and went out.There is a speakeasy bar not far from his home. I have been there once before, and it feels good. Except for the different decoration and structural environment, it unexpectedly reminds Jimmy of Justin's Camlet bar and the speakeasy bar of the Continental Hotel.

The difference is that their two bars have live singers, but this one only plays music, maybe the time is wrong, Jimmy didn't see the resident singers, but there is indeed a small stage.

In a dim environment, there is a row of special chandeliers above the bar, which only illuminate a part of the bar, and the lights on the surrounding walls are also very dark. People can see the aisles and tables and chairs clearly, so they don't have to worry too much about bumping into them.

Most of the people who came here were two or more people, and they sat directly at the table area next to them. There were not many people at the bar. Jimmy sat in front of the bar and ordered a special honey ginger cocktail that was limited to that day. Slowly consume leisure time.

Not long after, the bar was almost full. There are still a lot of people coming to the bar in New York to have a drink or chat at night. Although there are a lot of people, there is no particularly noisy situation. Jimmy is still very satisfied. This place can become The future stronghold has a good environment, and the key is not far from his apartment.

After a while, three more girls came in. They took a look at the situation and went straight to the seat next to Jimmy. Unfortunately, there were only two seats left, and there could only be one person standing between the two with their arms on the bar. Leaning against the bar, the three of them chatted in low voices.

Jimmy was a little amused watching them. When he came, he saw that there were security guards at the door. They kept statistics on how many vacancies there were in the bar. Normally, they wouldn’t let more people in. It’s too much to stand without a seat. It affects the mood of the guests. It is better to wait outside than to come in without a place, and I don't know how they got in.

After taking a sip of wine, he suddenly noticed that the unlucky girl standing in the middle seemed familiar, and tentatively called out: "Nia? Nia Miller?"

Nia turned her head to look at Jimmy. She frowned and looked at Jimmy. She didn't expect to meet someone she knew when she went out to play with her friends.

"Hi, Agent Jimmy." Nia changed her frown into a smile and greeted Jimmy.

Jimmy raised his glass and touched the glass lightly with her: "Is it really you, your friend?"

Nia nodded: "My old classmate." The girls next to Nia also glanced at Jimmy, and then the three of them touched their heads together and whispered something, and laughed softly together, looking very happy.

It's normal for the police to come to the bar after get off work. Since Nia came with friends, Jimmy didn't bother them. He reached out and touched the ancient horse racing game board next to him, watching the spinning horses gradually stop.Someone next to him left, and a round table was vacated. Nia and the others also moved and sat down.

Jimmy ordered another glass of penicillin, um, speaking of giving such a name to the concocted cocktail, I don’t know whether to say that the bartenders are uncreative or too creative. The slightly sweet and spicy whiskey base wine is concocted, which is the same as Jimmy usually drinks The whiskey tastes completely different.

After a while, at the invitation of Nia and the others, Jimmy also moved over. Two of Nia's old classmates, both models, came to New York Fashion Week. It seems that the quality of girls in Nia's school is very high.

Jimmy chatted with them for a while, then took his leave and left the bar. Unfortunately, he came and went alone.

On Monday, after Jimmy went to work, he received a call from Chuck and came to the police station. Chuck took Jimmy to the conference room, where Nia was already operating the projector.

Nia: "We have checked the reservation information of more than 100 customers in the past six months through the reservation information of Diego's studio, and we have confirmed the information of most of them. At the same time, there are a few people who have not found any information in the system. The phone number left is also an anonymous phone number.

This is the monitoring we got from the monitoring at the entrance of the building corresponding to the scheduled time. Since the previous monitoring video has been destroyed, only the video of the last month is available. "

Jimmy nodded, and Nia continued to play the surveillance. Several people who used anonymous phones and whose real identities were not found according to the reserved information searched the surveillance video for the entry and exit videos before and after the corresponding time point.

Due to the large number of people entering and leaving the building, they were not sure who went to Diego's studio. After watching the two surveillance videos, Jimmy waved his hand and told Nia to pause the video.

Jimmy looked at Chuck: "Chuck, it's meaningless to check the monitoring like this. Diego is a plastic surgeon, that is, he did the surgery on his side. When he leaves, he is usually wrapped in bandages, and he can't see them at all. As for their appearance when they came, there is no reference."

Chuck nodded: "One more thing, I am worried that if this person is Diego who was shot and killed after plastic surgery, it means that he has recovered. Including the recovery period, it may take more than a month. The surveillance video we have now It's absolutely impossible to get a picture of him."

Jimmy: "That's right, so I have an idea. Let's directly check the surveillance video after Diego's death. The gunman must have come to get the file as soon as possible. In theory, just watch the surveillance video a few days after Diego's death, and then put it inside. It took two weeks from Diego's death to when we got the file. This time span is too large. Let's identify the people who appeared in the video in stages. I think this may require building security personnel Discriminate the other people in the video with the staff, and temporarily exclude those who work in the building, and give priority to investigating people they don’t know.”

Chuck nodded and looked at Nia, "Nia, go and contact the property management personnel of the building and ask them to come to the police station to assist in the investigation."

Niya nodded, tidied up the files on the table, and left the meeting room.
