Jimmy quickly rushed to Summerfield and found Darth Morrow. Morrow let Jimmy enter his home and pointed him to a truck on the side of the street through the window.
"That's the truck parked on the side of the road. I didn't see anyone passing by. Maybe I didn't notice it because someone happened to be there."
"OK, let me go take a look."
Jimmy turned out and walked towards the van.
This is a medium-sized box truck, more commonly seen in movies, the size of a roadside food truck. There was no one in the cab. Jimmy looked outside the carriage and saw that not much dust had fallen. Jimmy walked to the back of the truck and knocked on the carriage. The dull sound was at least much duller than the echo of knocking on an empty container.
Jimmy visited several nearby families to find out if anyone knew about the car. Unfortunately, no one knew when the car was parked here, who the driver was, and no one installed a camera here. . Based on what these people said, it can be inferred that the truck was parked here about three nights ago, and it did not disturb anyone else. No one found it strange on the day it was parked here, but no one came to drive it away after three days. , which aroused everyone's vigilance.
Jimmy returned to the police car and used the radio to contact the dispatch center to check the license plate number. After checking, the dispatch center found that the license plate was fake.
This is embarrassing. There is a truck with fake license plates and no one. In this situation, even if the vehicle is impounded, I don’t know who to notify.
Jimmy thought for a while, then got out of the car and walked directly to Frank Moses' house. Maybe Frank would know something. After all, according to his guess, if anyone else here would know about the situation of this truck, only Frank as an agent would be the one. Most promising.
Jimmy was unlucky. He knocked on the door several times but got no response. It seemed like no one was home.
Jimmy contacted Superintendent Karger directly by phone, and Karger asked him to contact the parking lot and leave a seizure order at the scene.
Jimmy did as he was told and posted the seizure form on the wooden fence on the side of the road, marking the contact information and reason for the seizure. If anyone saw it, they could contact him and go through the formalities, but there was little hope. He used a fake number plate. When you pick up the car, you will also be accused of forging the number plate, having the car impounded, fined, and detained...
After contacting the parking lot to arrange for someone to come and drive the truck away, Jimmy returned to Morrow, informed him of the results, and then left.
In the afternoon, Jimmy received news from the parking lot. Inside the truck was a pile of packaging boxes and wooden shelves used to reinforce the goods. There was no cargo inside, and no relevant vehicle or cargo certificates were found in the cab. This is a black car.
Jimmy has a guess that it may be related to Frank, and the goods inside should have been moved.
If you can't find the owner, forget it and just treat it as a black truck. Anyway, if no one picks it up at a certain time, these illegal vehicles will be disposed of uniformly.
In the evening, Jimmy came to Summerfield again. There was still no one at Frank's house. He left his business card under the door and left.
Regardless of whether the truck belonged to Frank or not, it was necessary to contact him to confirm. I guessed that he was an agent. If there was a truck full of equipment, it would be a big deal if something happened. In the past, Jimmy would have stayed as far away as possible. Now that Jimmy had a golden finger, he suddenly felt that his peaceful life was too boring.
Once people suddenly gain some abilities, or suddenly become a nouveau riche, they will always do some weird things, such as the mutants in comics. There are many cases where people suddenly gain some abilities, and then tragedy occurs.
Jimmy's current mentality is somewhat the same as those people. He was originally just an ordinary policeman. After gaining new abilities, he has a somewhat violent mentality. Fortunately, he has no impulse to commit crimes, but now he has no passion for handling ordinary incidents. , follow the procedure step by step.
However, Jimmy is relatively lucky. The crime rate in Arkansas is very low compared to the national data in the United States. Of course, this is mainly because Arkansas is relatively poor and has a relatively small population. According to 2019 data, the state has a population of 3 million, with an average of 21.8 people. /km², 2003 data, population 2.7 million.
Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas and the capital of Pulaski County, had a population of 160,000 people in 2019. Including North Little Rock and the surrounding 6-county metropolitan area, there were a total of 740,000 people.
Let’s make a comparison. Asia's largest residential area, Beijing's Tiantongyuan community, has 645 residential buildings, a permanent population of 700,000, and covers an area of approximately 8 square kilometers.
The large area and sparse population have created the residential characteristics of Arkansas, which are completely dispersed. Except for the slightly higher population density in the middle of the metropolitan area, the surrounding villages and towns are mostly a few hundred people in size. There are various farms and mountains and forests. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as sparsely populated and sparsely populated.
In such an environment, the probability of vicious crimes is naturally much lower than in areas with large populations and developed economies. For the police, the cases they handle are naturally dominated by various violations and high-risk scenes. Not common.
The life of a county police officer is boring. Jimmy has already considered whether it is time to go on vacation in the surrounding area. There is Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs City not far from Little Rock. It should be regarded as one of the smallest national parks. The main activity is Soak in hot springs and enjoy the mountains and forests.
Jimmy was alone and had nothing to do anyway, so he could just go as he pleased. When it was his day off, he would just drive over.
Hot Springs is only about an hour's drive from Little Rock. To the southwest of Little Rock, Hot Springs National Park is just north of Hot Springs. There is no so-called entrance and exit. The area is small, 22 square kilometers, and there are dozens of natural hot springs. However, the natural hot springs have already built hot spring hotels, so don’t even think about finding a hot spring and jumping in for a bath.
Hot Springs belongs to Hot Spring County, but the capital of Hot Spring County is not in Hot Spring, but in Malvern (also called Malvern) east of Hot Springs.
Hot spring hotels are very expensive. For a poor person like Jimmy, staying in a hot spring hotel on weekends is completely unacceptable. He actually came here to hike and climb mountains. The Hot Springs National Park has a history of more than 100 years, and the corresponding roads and public facilities are very complete. The hiking routes are also mature and the scenery is good.
There are not many tourists on weekends, or in other words, the huge crowds like China are rare in the world. Jimmy found a public parking lot, parked his car, and then got a free map at the visitor center. Following the receptionist's instructions, he filled the water bottle he brought with him with drinkable spring water, and then walked along the route marked on the map with his backpack on his back. The route went uphill.
