North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 412 Tracking
Mahon and the others did not go down directly along the prisoner's escape route, but went around half a circle from the side, came to the first floor from the normal maintenance passage, went down to the ground through the hole here, and saw the prisoner pierced by them here. of a wall.

This is a red brick wall, which is not very safe because the red brick is fragile and the glued part can be easily pulled out.

The hole in the wall was not big. Jimmy looked at it with a probe. There were still pipes on the other side of the hole, but they were just large pipes. Judging from the current underground temperature, one of them must be a steam pipe for heating. The pipes should be sewage pipes and clean water pipes.The punctured sewage pipe Warren just mentioned can also be seen. There is a gap in it, which is enough for people to get in.

Because the sewage pipes are broken now, the smell in this space is very unpleasant, that is, people who have escaped from prison can bear this disgusting smell. The dirt is nauseating.

Mahon picked up some broken bricks and looked at them, "Where did they get the tools? These broken pieces can't be made by them with bare hands, it should be a sledgehammer or steel bars to make such a small piece of bricks." piece."

Warren Warren shook his head, "We checked in the morning, and found no tools at the scene. They should have gone out with tools and didn't stay."

Ma Hong looked at the waist-high hole in front of him, and stood by to simulate the action of hitting with a sledgehammer.The space here is enough to swing a sledgehammer or other heavy objects, but it will definitely take a long time to break through this wall. The escape plan of these two people must have been prepared for a long time.

Because too many people came here in the morning, the footprints on the ground were already messy, and it was impossible to tell which ones belonged to the criminals and which ones were the policemen who came in the morning.

Ma Hong also looked at the opposite pipeline through the hole, "Where did they come out of the pipeline, have you found it?"

Warren Prison Warren: "It has been found. It is more than 100 meters away from the prison wall. The police have gone all out to track it down, and K9 has also been dispatched."

Mahone: "Let's go up and see their exit."

Outside the prison, the warden led them to a gas station, where the manhole cover was opened. "They came out from here. K9 lost its scent after chasing it for a while. It was about 200 meters ahead."

Ma Hong first looked at the manhole cover, and then looked around, "Did the people at the gas station find anything?"

Warren Warren shook his head: "This is their blind spot. If they hadn't come to the intersection, they wouldn't be able to see what's going on here. We've confirmed that they didn't find anything unusual, and the convenience store in the gas station didn't lose anything. Things, I didn’t see the two of them in the surveillance. That’s all I know, the follow-up is investigated by the police, and the information has not been synchronized with me.”

Ma Hong: "I understand, take me to the last position tracked by K9 first."

Warren Warden: "It's right on the side of the road ahead, there are no buildings there, and there are wasteland, woods and farmland on both sides of the road."

When I came to the scene, there was a white circle here, which should have been drawn by the police during the investigation in the morning. "This should be the last location confirmed by K9."

Mahon looked around, "Felicia, go to the police station to contact them immediately, confirm the clues they have obtained so far, and investigate the situation of the two prisoners from our system, their relatives, friends, gang members, all Included in the investigation list. I will give you authorization to investigate whether they have received calls or text messages from last night to now, and read their phone records."

Felicia nodded, "I understand."

Mahone: "Also, ask if they found any tools or clothing around here."

Felicia nodded again, several people turned and returned to the prison, Felicia drove to the police station, and Mahone stood in the parking lot, considering the direction of the investigation.

Jimmy looked at Warden Warren: "Director Warren, please prepare a map for us. There must be a map of New York State and a national map. It would be best if there is a nearby map."

Warren Warren nodded and looked at the prison guard who was accompanying them. The prison guard understood, turned and left the parking lot. After a while, he came back with two maps, one of the New York State map, the large one, hanging On the wall, the other is an atlas.

Jimmy took out a map of New York State and unfolded it on the hood. "Where is our location? Exactly."

The prison guard gave Jimmy some pointers, and Jimmy drew a triangle on it with a pen, and began to investigate the surrounding terrain and residential areas.

Warren Warren saw that there was nothing wrong with him at the scene, greeted Mahon and returned to the prison.

Jimmy: "Ma Hong, the terrain here is very problematic."

Mahon also came over to look at the map. The prison is located in the northwest of Newburgh, and Newburgh is on the edge of the Hudson River. If you want to escape from the prison, there are many routes. You can go east to the Hudson River and go north. It is possible to escape to Canada, enter the forest to the south, run to other urban areas to the west, or directly reach Lake Ontario all the way. It is really difficult to judge the direction of the suspect's escape in this kind of place.

Because there are quite a lot of forests nearby, and now that the suspects have left here by car, it is really not easy to determine their location.

Ma Hong: "I'll look at the clues from the police station before considering where to go."

The biggest problem now is the direction in which the suspects fled. New York State and Canada border. Once it is determined that the direction of their escape is in the direction of Canada, they must be considered and notified.

Soon, Felicia's call came to Mahone's mobile phone, he picked it up, and directly turned on the loudspeaker.

Mahone: "Felicia, what's going on?"

Felicia: "We have obtained their current progress. According to the K9's location of the suspect's smell, it is basically confirmed that the suspect left by car, because they were wearing prison uniforms, and the temperature is still very low, so they should have escaped. No prison uniforms were thrown away, and no traces of their prison uniforms or anything else were found near the scene.

Now the police station is investigating the vehicles that appeared on this road last night, hoping to determine which vehicle they left in, but there is no result yet. "

Ma Hong: "What about their family?"

Felicia: "Unfortunately, neither of them is married, and there are no registered immediate family members in the system. But Rob Reilly has an uncle who currently lives in the Bronx, New York. investigation."

Mahone: "The other Cameron Brown is a gang member, look into his gang."

Felicia: "It's hard to be sure, you may need to contact the local police station."

Ma Hong: "Then do it, get their contact information as soon as possible and start an investigation. In addition, notify the police station, issue a global report, and notify us immediately if there are relevant clues."

Felicia: "Understood."

Mahon hung up the phone, thought for a while, and called Hughes, "Hughes, I need to notify the state police and the surrounding police stations to coordinate the investigation, and at the same time conduct personnel inspections on the railway stations, bus stations, and airports in the surrounding cities. Check."

This time, Mahone didn't open the speaker, so Jimmy couldn't hear what Hughes said, but according to Hughes' style, Mahone should have full authority to handle it.

Ma Hong: "I'm not familiar with this place. It's best to contact you. In addition, you may need to send some people from the field office. If we find out where they escaped, it will not be easy for the three of us to track them down."

Ma Hong: "Well, then I'll wait for your news." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Jimmy picked up the map, pointed to the location near the prison and said, "Ma Hong, I think we need to expand the scope of the investigation. If they escaped at night, whether they hijacked a car or they were taken by kind people Let's go, the speed of driving will definitely not be slow, it has been more than half a day, and they may have left the nearby area."

Mahon nodded: "I understand. Waiting for the news from Felicia, the local police are also investigating the vehicle information. The most important thing now is to confirm the direction."

This kind of troublesome thing is really painful. The biggest trouble of the jailbreak incident is this. Without any clues, it is difficult for anyone to do it.

Jimmy: "By the way, I forgot to tell Felicia just now that there is a quickest way to confirm the car. Ask her to notify the police station, directly investigate the owner's information, contact by phone, and if she can't be contacted, immediately find the missing owner. location, there is a high possibility that they were hijacked or killed by the two suspects."

Mahone was staring at the open space next to him in a daze, but after being reminded by Jimmy, he turned his head and glanced at him, then took out his mobile phone and called Felicia, explaining Jimmy's plan.

It has been almost a day, and if we wait any longer, we may have to continue to expand the scope of the search.Mahone's phone rang, it should be Hughes, Mahone hung up the phone after saying a few words to him, "All the surrounding cities have received the news, and now the news and broadcasts have sent out the news of the prisoner's escape, as long as there is an abnormality, You should get the message."

This time the matter is a bit big. There are actually not many prison escapes in the United States, but most of them occur in prisons below the state level. Relatively speaking, the security level of federal prisons is still guaranteed, and there are very few prison escapes.And most of the jailbreaks are of low security level, like this medium security level prison, or other high security level and super prisons, there are a lot of prison guards, and the internal management is relatively standardized.

The internal management of federal prisons is relatively strict in compliance with the regulations of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. There are corresponding channels for the management of prisoners and the handling of complaints, which is relatively clean.There are not so many things in state and sub-state prisons. It is light to say that there are many shady scenes.

Due to financial problems, various prisons have severely downsized prison guards, and the maintenance of equipment is also based on financial arrangements.For prisoners, if they want to do something, they just need to pay for it. This has also created a situation where gangsters are prevalent in various prisons but no one cares about them.

Mahone and Jimmy waited in the parking lot for a while, and couldn't wait any longer, so they drove directly to the police station to meet Felicia.

The progress of the dispatch center is not fast, because the car owners need to be contacted for confirmation. Many cars are not driven by the car owners, and they need to be confirmed again, so that it is almost time to get off work, and it has not yet been counted which cars have not been contacted.

"Detective Mahone, the dispatch center confirmed that a car was missing. It was a private car that returned from New York's Kennedy Airport last night. According to the plan, it should have arrived home at 2:3 or [-]:[-]. The family found that he hadn't returned in the morning, and We couldn’t get in touch, so we called the police at noon, after we found out the car and compared it with the system records, we were sure it was this car.”

Ma Hong immediately regained his energy, "Bring me the condition of the car."

The police officer handed over a piece of A4 paper with vehicle information and owner information on it.Ma Hong continued to ask: "Has this car been found in other surveillance cameras?"

Police officer: "Not yet, and we need to continue the investigation, because this place is relatively remote, we still call the surveillance video from a very far intersection on this road."

Mahon: "Continue to investigate."

Mahone looked at the document in hand, walked to the fax machine, and sent the document back to the Manhattan office.Then he called Hughes, and from his side notified other departments to investigate the car to see if it was in their jurisdiction.

This kind of thing is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. In the final analysis, there is still a lack of monitoring, and what happened in the early morning, there are no witnesses at all.Listening to their conversation, Jimmy also felt a bit of a headache. Fortunately, now that there is a boss, he doesn't need to find a clue and run around like before.

Mahon contacted Hughes to arrange a survey of the surrounding cities, and now he can only wait here. This is not the time to go out to find someone. If the opposite happens, the delay will be even more.

At night, there was still no news, so the three of them could only find a nearby hotel to stay.

Early the next morning, before going to the police station, Mahone was notified by the police that the missing car had been found not far from the Hudson River.

Bad, this location, if they do cross the Hudson River or go straight to the boat, it will be even harder to find.

Mahon immediately called Jimmy and Felicia to set off and head to the car.When we arrived at the scene, the place was blocked by the police. The owner of the car was still on his body except his underwear. All other clothes had been taken away, and the owner of the car was also killed. There were obvious crush injuries on his neck. This should be blocked by someone choking his neck Blood caused death.

Another life, the escaped murderer really has no scruples.

Mahon asked the people from the police station to take fingerprints as soon as possible, and he put on his gloves and began to check the car.Nothing was found inside the car, but a hammer and a saw blade were found in the trunk. The saw blade had been worn out, and the teeth in the middle had been ground and polished. The width has been reduced a lot, from the normal front to back. It has become a shape with wide ends and a depression in the middle.

This saw blade should be the tool they used to open the sewage pipe, and this hammer may be the hammer used to smash the wall.In addition, according to the car owner's family, the car owner should have a suitcase, but the suitcase was not found in the car now, and it should have been taken away by the two jailbreakers.

This is troublesome, Mahon asked Felicia to contact the police station, and needed to confirm with his family what was in his luggage, whether there were weapons, and so on.

Mahone led Jimmy along the car toward the Hudson River, observing as he walked slowly, trying to find traces on the ground.Their first choice of direction should be the Hudson River, otherwise they would not drive here.
