North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 343 A Nostalgic Time
Jimmy can see two of them directly from his current position, but he cannot see the other one because of the distance.But don't worry, because Jimmy and Chris's car is not far from the exit, as long as another station wagon comes, it can be intercepted near the exit.

While smoking his second cigarette, Jimmy spotted a man walking up to the side of one of the station wagons, about to open the door, and he walked straight up to him, "Hey sir, can I spare you a minute?"

The man who was about to enter the cab stopped and looked up at Jimmy, "Me? What's the matter?"

Jimmy took out his ID: "FBI special agent Jimmy, I have a few questions I want to ask, just a minute."

The man closed the car door and walked to the front of the car: "Please speak."

Jimmy: "What's your name?"

Man: "Just call me Mike."

Jimmy: "Where was your car three days ago?"

Mike thought for a while: "Three days ago? I should have been at home. I didn't go out that day. The car was also at home."

Jimmy: "Are you sure?"

Mike: "Yes, I'm pretty sure. I've been at home for two days because of my health. Three days ago, I happened to be home."

Jimmy: "OK, thank you for your cooperation."

Jimmy wrote it down in a notepad and was about to leave.Mike asked, "Any questions?"

Jimmy: "Well, there was a car accident involving the same model car as yours, so look into it. Bye, Mike."

Jimmy has already sent the license plate number back to the bureau before, but there is no feedback when he smoked just now. Now he will probably ask, record it, and then check it after investigating the car information later.

The key is that Jimmy needs to determine the status of the driver through dialogue, whether there is any abnormal reaction, and so on.

Before returning to the waiting position, I suddenly heard Chris shouting: "Jimmy! Found the target! Follow me!"

Jimmy immediately ran back to where they parked, and Chris had already started to chase after him. Good guy, you only have one right hand, and you dare to drive after the car?Don't die?
Jimmy got into the car, started and rushed out. The railing of the exit had been smashed by the first car. Chris followed and rushed out. Jimmy was in the third car. This is no longer the time to communicate with the parking lot security. Alright, that's the only way to go.

There are not many cars on the road. Although it is not commuting time, even during the day, there are many cars on the road.The station wagon in front was already dodging through the traffic, and Chris was obviously driving very badly. Jimmy took advantage of a gap to pass through, and he followed the station wagon at a distance of several car bodies.

After chasing for a while, Jimmy looked in the rearview mirror and saw that Chris was almost out of sight. Taking advantage of the fact that the road was fine, Jimmy directly pressed the emergency dial of the FBI phone, dialed Chris's phone, and turned on the phone. , put the phone on the center console.

Jimmy: "Chris, I'm still following that station wagon, please tell the NYPD immediately, I don't have a radio or lights and sirens on my car, let them stop or get out of my way."

Chris has given up on that side. He controls with one hand, and his left arm can only be placed on the steering wheel to temporarily fix the steering wheel, and he has no way to get in the traffic.After answering Jimmy's call, he immediately used the radio in his car to contact the NYPD dispatch center.

That's the set, Chris has it and Jimmy doesn't, so now it looks like two cars driving recklessly in traffic, a black station wagon in the front and a black crown victoria in the back, it doesn't show at all The car is chasing the car in front.

Jimmy is also getting more and more excited, as if he has returned to the time when he was a patrolman two years ago. At that time, he was also in Crown Victoria. He rode on suburban roads and highways every day, chasing cars every now and then. The good times are always memorable.

Jimmy walked through the traffic, getting smoother and smoother. After all, he hadn't participated in this kind of car chase for more than a year. He was really a little nervous at the beginning, but now after a few minutes of chasing, the feeling returned.

There were already warning lights flashing on the road ahead, and Jimmy didn't intend to stop chasing, and kept biting the station wagon in front of him tightly. In such a traffic environment, the speed of the car was not fast, but because of the cars of ordinary people on the road, Jimmy didn't know what to do at all. A good body position can only follow behind.

The police car was left behind and it looked as if they were chasing Jimmy.At an intersection ahead, a station wagon ran through a red light, followed by Jimmy and the police car. Sirens and lights indicated that other cars at the intersection had slowed down and stopped.Jimmy bit on the back of the station wagon. Seeing that there were not many cars in front of him, he stepped on the accelerator to speed up, and finally came to the right rear of the station wagon.

Turning the steering wheel slightly while speeding up, the left side of the front of the car was directly attached to the position of the right rear wheel of the station wagon. There was no PIT, and the station wagon swayed from side to side, which looked dangerous, but it still managed to maintain the posture of the car and continued to move forward. Driving forward, it was only because of the left and right shaking just now that his speed was further reduced.

This was Jimmy's first attack, and it ended in failure, so he could only continue to follow behind, looking for an opportunity.This is an urban road, and it is not spacious. Apart from the sidewalks, there are residential apartment buildings on both sides of the road. If there is a serious mistake in this kind of place, causing the station wagon to crash into the residential building, it will not be a good thing for Jimmy. The attack just now was actually reckless. .

But Jimmy can't help it. Although he is not familiar with the roads, the roads in the urban area are like this. It is obviously too much to think about finding a suitable wide place to start, and it is basically impossible.

I continued to chase two intersections. At the intersection in front of me, the station wagon suddenly turned on the right turn signal. This driving habit is quite good. Jimmy came to the spirit, no matter whether he was making fake moves or not, he had to be prepared. If he really turns right, then when he turns right and slows down, it is the best time.

Jimmy accelerated directly, and the car in front slowed down and turned. Jimmy directly hit the right rear door of the car and rushed towards the reverse lane. The driver who followed him was probably unprepared for an unexpected situation. In order to maintain stability, he stepped on the brakes and He swung the steering wheel and tried to correct the direction of the car, but unfortunately, he still collided with the car on the driveway.

After the successful PIT, Jimmy slowed down and turned right. After stabilizing the car, he immediately turned around, and then he was unlucky. The NYPD police car behind him directly gave him a PIT, and hit the left rear side. Jimmy's car was close to turning around on the spot. , turning 180 degrees.

"Shua, Shua, Shua", several police cars stopped around Jimmy's car, and several NYPD got out of the car and pointed their guns at Jimmy, "Driver, raise your hands, let me see your hands!"

"Fxxk! I'm an FBI agent!" Jimmy was pointed at by several pistols, and he didn't dare to move. He could only shout helplessly and furiously that he was an FBI agent. The baton was broken.

"I'm an FBI agent, don't get excited, I have my ID." Jimmy yelled.Finally, the NYPD reacted and instructed Jimmy to come out with his ID, "I want to get my ID, don't shoot. FXXK, look at the station wagon just now, is the driver still there!!!"

Jimmy reached into his suit with his right hand and took out the ID, and handed it to the NYPD who smashed his car window. The police officer looked at the ID, then at Jimmy, "Get out of the car."

Jimmy got out of the car with his hands raised, "I have a weapon on me, don't touch my gun."

"Turn around, put your hands on the roof of the car. Wait." The NYPD officer took Jimmy's ID, took two steps away, pressed the intercom, and began to contact the dispatch center.

"Who can help me see if the driver of that car is still there!" Jimmy stood obediently beside the car, with his hands on the roof, and he couldn't turn his head, so he could only shout to the NYPD people to check. .

"There is no driver in the car, so it should have run into a residential area. Some colleagues have already chased him."

Jimmy's head was buzzing, what the fuck.

"Checked, Agent Jimmy, sorry. Duty."

Jimmy turned around and took back the documents, "Surround the surroundings immediately, contact the dispatch center and your police officers, and determine the whereabouts of the driver in that car. He is suspected of a murder case."

The NYPD police officers surrounding Jimmy were also very embarrassed. They immediately dispersed and chased after the driver according to the location reported by the police intercom.

Jimmy doesn't know where to go to chase people now, so he can only follow the NYPD people in the alleys.Fortunately, the FBI's mobile phone is more shockproof and drop-proof. Jimmy can still call Chris to report the current situation.

Chris was also speechless. He had already notified the NYPD dispatch center that an agent was chasing a suspect, but Jimmy was still caught as a suspect.

Only when Chris notified the dispatch center, the NYPD officers could confirm Jimmy's identity so quickly. Otherwise, it would take at least several minutes to contact the FBI's Manhattan office.

While Jimmy and the others were chasing down the driver, NYPD contacted a tow truck to tow Jimmy's car and the station wagon to resume traffic, and Chris arrived at the scene ten minutes later.

Jimmy and the others are still investigating the whereabouts of the driver in the block. It is certain that he should be hiding in these residential buildings, but the embarrassing thing is that Jimmy did not see the driver, and the police chasing the driver also It can only be determined that it is a white man with short curly hair, because they can only see the back, so they have no way to determine the driver's appearance.

We can only wait for Chris to arrive before starting to check the residential buildings.And it must be Chris in the lead, otherwise there is no way to distinguish who is the driver just now.

Fortunately, with the assistance of several police officers from NYPD, under the leadership of Chris, the driver was finally caught.It's just that it took a long time, about an hour, and finally, with the gesture of a resident's eyes, he was arrested from his home.Fortunately, there were so many people, the driver gave up armed resistance after weighing, and finally put down his pistol and raised his hand to surrender.

Jimmy and Chris thanked the NYPD police officers for their cooperation, and took the driver back to the FBI office in Chris's car. Because of the urgent interrogation, they were not sent directly to the detention center.

Chris found someone to accompany him into the interrogation. Jimmy had his own mission. He received a car from the administrative department and took a forensics team to the police parking lot. The investigation of the station wagon was led by Jimmy. The two of them separated and acted on their own.

When Jimmy came to the police parking lot, he first went to find his own car. There was a full set of equipment in the trunk of his own car. He had already reminded NYPD when he towed the car. They kept it very well. Accompanied to the parking lot to look at Jimmy's car, the service attitude is really good.Of course, it was mainly to avoid Jimmy complaining about them, and being pointed at by a group of policemen is not a fond memory.

Jimmy transferred all the equipment to the new vehicle, and then went to the location of the station wagon. Two members of the forensic department began to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the station wagon and extract evidence.

The whole car was taken from multiple angles, especially the front bumper. When Jimmy was at the PIT, the station wagon did not hit other cars or obstacles with the front of the car. This is the most important reason why Jimmy and the others are looking for this car.

The second is the things in the car, including the items in the car, the fingerprints on the steering wheel and other parts, whether there is blood in the car, etc., because the case may be serious, so this time no steps are saved, and all evidence needs to be identified. reserve.

Jimmy stood on the sidelines in a daze. There is a professional team for on-site surveys, so he will not join in the fun, so as not to cause problems.

"Jimmy, come and see."

Jimmy came to the side of the station wagon and looked at the position pointed by the forensics officer. FK, Jimmy was not calm when he saw the round pipe. No one is afraid of ordinary pipes, but if the pipe is connected to a wire, the professional will tremble.

Jimmy: "Is that what I thought it was?"

The forensic officer nodded: "Very likely, I think we need the bomb disposal team to deal with it."

Jimmy: "Call them, now, right now. Let's get out of here first."

The forensic officer nodded, and the two of them took their toolboxes and followed Jimmy to the side of Jimmy's car, about 20 meters away from the station wagon.

Jimmy looked at the station wagon and had a toothache. Today’s incident was too embarrassing. First, he was pointed at by the police, and now he found that the car he was chasing had a bomb strapped to it. If it really exploded when Jimmy was chasing the car , he is dead.

Jimmy picked up his mobile phone and called Chris: "Chris, there are some suspicious pipes tied to the bottom of the station wagon, which are suspected to be bombs. Now I have contacted the bomb disposal team to come to support. Ask clearly during your interrogation. What the hell is going on here? Who the hell puts a bomb on his car?"

Chris is also confused, put a bomb on his car?Is this person courting death?Still driving in the city to escape?If one is not careful, there will be no bones left.

Chris hung up the phone and returned to the interrogation room again. The suspect driver did not answer any questions, and did not even ask to call a lawyer.Now he is still in the period when he has just been arrested, and when the will to resist is strongest, Chris also knows that he needs to grind slowly, so he didn't use any means before, just routine inquiries.

Chris originally planned to follow the normal interrogation procedures, but now, it seems that no other means will work. If the on-site bomb disposal team confirms that the bottom of the car is indeed a bomb, this is not a murder case that can be solved, but a direct investigation. Rise to the category of terrorist attacks.

Chris continued to ask, but of course there was no answer. He beckoned the recorder to go out with him, and the suspect driver was handcuffed on the table and left in the interrogation room.

Jimmy and the others waited for half an hour. The FBI bomb disposal team arrived. A bomb disposal officer quickly dressed, wearing a thick explosion-proof suit and helmet, and walked towards the station wagon.

He squatted on the ground and looked at the pipes under the car, then went straight to the bottom of the car, turned around and lay down on the ground, and began to check the pipes.

Jimmy came to the bomb disposal team's car and listened to their communication about the style and disposal plan of the bomb. Obviously Jimmy and the others were frightened, but the bomb was actually a semi-finished product.

After the bomb disposal team removed the bomb and put it into a special explosion-proof barrel, the bomb disposal personnel took off their explosion-proof suits and explained the situation to Jimmy and the others.

It was a false alarm. The bomb under the car was actually just a bomb detonator, which contained explosives, but its power was not great, and at most it would destroy the car.However, the bottom of the car has been remodeled, and there is a pipe connected to the rear seat. If a large bomb is stored in the rear seat and trunk, this semi-finished product can also be used as a detonator. From the structural point of view, it seems that there is still There is a space for storing signal control devices, such as fixing a telephone or wireless equipment.

The bomb disposal personnel drew a simple diagram for Jimmy, indicating the structure of the bomb and the content of subsequent modifications. Strictly speaking, this car is a shell of a bomb. You only need to put the bomb body in and install the trigger to make a car. super bomb.

Jimmy listened carefully to the bomb disposal personnel's explanation, and he needed to go back and relay to Chris. Although the bomb disposal team would issue a report later, time was running out.

The bomb has been dismantled, and the colleagues in the forensic department can continue. Jimmy took the sketch of the bomb disposal team, thanked them, and sent them away from the police parking lot.

Waiting for the forensics department to finish processing the station wagon, Jimmy also returned to the office, found Chris, and handed him the sketch.

Jimmy: "The bomb disposal team has confirmed that this is the detonation device of a giant bomb. This picture is a rough design. What we caught this time is definitely a big fish. Did he confess?"

Chris: "That guy is a diehard. He hasn't said a word until now. His fingerprints were not found in the criminal database. I just took the photo to check the photo database, hoping to find his identity."

Jimmy came outside the interrogation room and looked in through the one-way glass. The suspect was a white man with stubble on his face. According to the condition of the stubble, he should have not shaved for two or three days. He had a big beard and short brown curly hair. Such features are indeed not obvious.

"Have you tried contacting ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)?" Jimmy turned to Chris.

Chris: "You mean, he might be an immigrant?"

Jimmy nodded: "Well, to be able to do such a terrorist attack, I always feel that it may have something to do with South America or the Middle East. Think about it, it's just these two directions that have such a big hatred with us."

Chris: "Okay, I'll go to Hughes, we can't contact ICE directly, DHS still wants him to come forward."

Jimmy: "So what are we doing now? Just wait?"

Chris: "There is no way, there is no authorization, and many methods cannot be used. If he really refuses to speak, he will still have to be transferred to the detention center."

Jimmy: "Then how can we use the means? Who will authorize it? Directly to DHS?"

Chris: "Well, the problem is very serious this time. Although the big bomb has not been found, the detonator has been found. I think this case must be raised, at least a joint case is required. It depends on Hughes' decision. To be honest, I haven’t encountered such a big case in more than 30 years, and I don’t know how to deal with it.”

Jimmy nodded. He really doesn't have much experience in bomb attacks, but the sky is falling and there is a taller one, and the newly established DHS happens to be that taller.

Chris dealt with the contact matter, and Jimmy returned to his place and began to write the report.This time I was reimbursed for an assigned car, and I still need to write an accident statement to the administrative department to replace an assigned car. This is really unlucky. How many times has this been changed?
When I was a county policeman, I didn’t do that frequently. Since I came to the FBI, I had a record of changing two cars in one day in Dallas. It wasn’t long before I became a full-time member. The car was allocated and reimbursed. Should I just apply for an additional anti-collision car? Rod car forget it?

Forget it, it's only been a few months since I became a regular, so it's a bit too much to specialize now.However, a car radio is still necessary. It is a bit troublesome to talk on the phone all the time today. The key point is that I still have no way to contact NYPD, so misunderstandings arise.

Whispering and writing a report, Jimmy rushed directly to the administrative department to apply for a car modification, but was rejected.It’s better to drive an ordinary car honestly. Customized accessories are not something that can be done by yourself. Talk to Chris later and ask him to help you apply. Anyway, it seems that Chris is also easy to talk to, probably over there. The face is also a little bigger.

There is one thing to say, today's car chase gave Jimmy a lot of fun. If it hadn't been overturned by NYPD in the end, this time it would definitely be a perfect PIT. It would definitely be no problem to turn around at the intersection and arrest the driver.Since he joined the FBI, he has rarely had the opportunity to have such a good time, because usually no matter whether it is a search or arrest, it is basically based on intelligence first and direct search and arrest.

The last time I supported Ryan and the others in the field office, I still flew directly to the target location by helicopter, and did not participate in the ground car chase at all, which is a pity.This time, Jimmy felt like he was back to two years ago. He was driving unscrupulously on the road with police lights and sirens on, and the suspect would turn over and arrest the suspect without stopping. It was much more enjoyable than him watching the NYPD's fuel consumption.

Chris's side is also going well. He contacted the DC headquarters before, but the joint investigation was not initiated due to lack of clues. Now a bomb detonating device was found in the suspect's car. This is no longer a trivial matter without clues, but has risen to The major event of the terrorist attack, but the headquarters has not planned to notify the DHS directly for the time being. Instead, a team of investigators was transferred from the headquarters to cooperate with the Manhattan office. They took it.
