Jimmy returned to the police station and immediately called the dispatch center to inquire about the progress. Then he hung up the phone in disappointment. They did not work overtime at night and could only continue to wait during the day.
Because he was still in charge of the case, Jimmy stopped patrolling for the past two days, and his police car was also driven away. While the dispatch center's investigation was still pending, Jimmy went to the lounge to rest for a while, and then was called up by Director James.
"Jimmy, the response to the new police lights has been good in all aspects. You need to contact the production as soon as possible. I have already informed the county government committee. The council members will hold a hearing on this purchase case next month."
"Thank you, Chief. This is really good news. Are all police cars in our department updated?" Jimmy was happy. This was the first order to improve his life, and then his smile disappeared. "But, Director, Kag just handed over a murder case to me, and I don't have time to go find the factory now."
Director James was also a little speechless. He couldn't just say to throw the case away and deal with the procurement first.
"You deal with the case first. The hearing is still close to a month away, so you should be able to make it in time." After saying that, the director returned to the office and left Jimmy aside.
Jimmy was helpless. He really wanted to leave the case here and start business first, but he was already halfway through the investigation. He was just waiting for the dispatch center to give him a route to continue the investigation. He put it on hold at this time, and he didn't know what would happen next. It can be done when the time comes.
The dispatch center was also very effective this time, and it only took more than two hours to provide the results.
The last place where the blue car was recorded was on the route to Pinnacle Mountain State Park. Since there were no cameras, there was no way to monitor it. And based on the time of the cameras at each intersection, the car should not have stopped to rest on the road. .
Jimmy scratched his head a little. He didn't expect that the traffic camera coverage was insufficient. If he wanted to continue to pursue it, he would need to go to the local area to inquire in person. If the suspect vehicle continued on Highway 300 and left Pulaski County, other police departments would need to be contacted to obtain information. This kind of cross-regional coordination requires the director to personally take action, or directly submit it to the state police.
Jimmy was a newcomer and was completely unfamiliar with people from other police stations, but he had just defied the chief once. It would be troublesome to go to him now. If he got angry and messed up the police lights, it would be too bad.
After thinking about it, Jimmy thought of a person, and he took out his cell phone and found Frank Moses' number.
"Hi, Moses, it's me, Sheriff Jimmy."
"Hey Jimmy, what's up?"
"Well, I remember that you have a friend who is a park ranger at Pinnacle Mountain, right? He was also here at the last barbecue."
"Yes, Pat Bright, what's wrong with him? What's the matter?"
"That's right, I'm investigating a case here, and a suspect's car should have gone to Pinnacle Mountain. I want to ask him for help."
"OK, please write down the phone number."
Jimmy got Pat Bright's phone and called him directly. Because it was a landline, he might be patrolling the park right now, but no one answered.
Jimmy waited another half hour, dialed again, and this time someone answered.
"Hi, this is the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department. Is this Mr. Pat Bright?"
"Yes, what's the matter? Officer."
"Hi Brett, I'm Jimmy, we met at Frank Moses' party a while ago."
"Oh, I remember you, young Asian, Jimmy."
"It's me. I got your phone number from Moses. I need your help with something."
"you say."
"A murder occurred here the day before yesterday. The suspect took a blue car with a fake license plate and went in the direction of Diecui Mountain. I would like to ask if you noticed this car? Do you have surveillance over there that can help with the investigation? For a moment?”
"There is no impression of the blue car. If it is monitored, it is not working properly now. The probe at the intersection is just like that."
"Well, thanks for your help, bye."
"goodbye."
Jimmy was rejected and had no choice but to knock on the door of the director's office.
"Chief James, there are new clues in the murder case, but we can no longer continue."
"Tell me more about it."
"Okay, yesterday I went back to the murder scene. Because a few neighbors didn't ask about it the day before yesterday, I went to make up for it today, and then a neighbor gave me a new clue. When he went out, he found a white male. A blue car got on at the intersection.
The dispatch center provided the video tape and yesterday found three cars that met the requirements. Two cars had real license plates and one had a fake license plate. I set my target on the car with the fake license plate.
The dispatch center gave the latest investigation results today. The last monitored location of the car was near Diecui Mountain. I contacted a friend and asked about it. There was no local camera record. The next location with a camera on Highway 300 was already out of bounds. , we do not have follow-up investigation authority. "
"Do you have any idea?"
"I'd like to ask the chief to contact the Perry County Sheriff's Department and see if they can provide directions to the sedan."
"Even if we discover the route, we have no way to follow up. If all the clues in this case are currently focused on this car, then what we should do is submit it to the state police for processing. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I'm going to sort out the materials and wait for the state police to receive them."
Jimmy left the director's office and returned to his seat to start sorting out materials, including the case report he wrote, the video tape sent by the dispatch center, the records corresponding to the subsequent intersections of the vehicle, etc.
After Jimmy sorted it out, he filled out an evidence handover form, asked the director to sign it, and waited for the state police to arrive and take out the evidence found at the scene from the evidence room.
Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas and also the capital of Pulaski County. The state police arrived at the police station quickly. Jimmy cooperated and handed over all the information. This case had nothing to do with him.
Jimmy is actually a little disappointed. This is the biggest case he has received since he was a police officer, and he has been tracking the suspect from the beginning to the present. Unfortunately, due to the problem of county boundaries, his efforts were all in vain.
Jimmy was in a daze at the police station, lost, and then his phone rang.
"Hi, this is Excellence Lighting Company, from Nebraska. Is this Mr. Yang from Atlas?"
"Yes, what can I do?"
"We found out that one of your company's patents has just been approved, and we would like to make an appointment with you for an in-person discussion."
"OK, next Tuesday afternoon, in Little Rock."
"Okay, our representatives will be there on time."
