Hatten leaned on the sofa with a wine glass and looked at Jimmy. He took a sip of wine and put the glass down.
Harten: "Jimmy, who is this guy?"
Jimmy: "I'm a very good friend. He helped me a lot in the past. In a sense, he saved my fate. So I'm asking you, please help me."
Harten: "Jimmy, I admire you very much. Whether it's your information in the police station or the last time we worked together on a case, you are a reliable partner.
But this is not the reason why you come to me to do things illegally. I choose to help you instead of leaving directly. It is because I appreciate your attitude of doing things at your own expense for your friends. There are not many people like you anymore.
Now, give me the number and where she was last seen, and then go back and wait for news. "
Jimmy took out the card he had prepared in advance. On it was his phone number and Mary's name, as well as Memphis, Tennessee.
Hatten picked up the card and put it in his briefcase, picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, stood up and left. "This cup is yours."
Jimmy did not get up, but leaned back on the sofa. He had already anticipated Hatten's possible reaction. The best outcome would be like this, and the worst would be that he would never be able to contact Hatten again, or even behind his back. Find your own braids.
Now it seems that his luck has returned, and he is very satisfied with the current results.
Jimmy sat for a while, then walked out of the private room with two wine glasses and returned to the bar.
Jimmy: "Justin, this drink is mine."
Justin: “Would you like another drink?”
Jimmy: "No, I have something else to do, so I'm going back first."
Jimmy took out the money and put it on the bar, turned around and left the bar.
The next day, Jimmy woke up and took a look at the phone. There was no missed call, but there was a text message.
It turned out that Hatten had helped Jimmy find the location last night and sent it via text message.
With the address, Jimmy felt relieved. He quickly got up, packed up, took a few gold coins with him, and drove to the police station.
He went to the police station today to ask for leave. Jimmy planned to go to Memphis himself to see if he could find any clues. If there was an accident or he couldn't find it, he might have to use Justin and the others.
The matter of asking for leave went very poorly. Director James was very passive about Jimmy's sudden attack and wanted to ask for leave immediately. However, in the end, Jimmy was still granted a week's leave. Jimmy's reason was the same as what he and Hatten said. He is a very important friend to him, but there is no need to say that he owes a favor to Director James, because Jimmy already owes James too much.
Jimmy called Jerry when he went out and told him that he would go to Memphis to see if he could find any clues, and then drove directly from the police station.
Jimmy always carries his gun license with him, and Tennessee recognizes Arkansas CCW, so there is no problem with Jimmy carrying his own revolver. It is an excellent choice whether it is for accidents or self-defense.
It's very convenient to get to Memphis from Little Rock. You can drive all the way to Memphis by driving on Highway 40. The distance is about 200 kilometers, so it's not a big problem. Jimmy read the map in advance and waited until he got to Memphis to find the specific address.
For Jimmy, who has been a patrol officer for almost a year, driving on the highway at the speed limit is already a professional skill. He encountered many ASP Highway Patrol police cars along the way, but none of them were stopped. Jimmy is already qualified. An experienced driver.
Memphis is the largest city in Tennessee and the most populous city in Tennessee, with about 680,000 people in 2006. However, it is not the capital of Tennessee. The state capital is Nashville. Memphis has a very good geographical location. It is at the intersection of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. It is an important port city on the Mississippi River and an important transfer station for international freight. The passenger flow of Memphis International Airport is not large, but the cargo flow is very large. The world's second largest cargo airport after Hong Kong.
Jimmy came off Highway 40 at noon, found a roadside restaurant for lunch, took a rest, and then continued on to Oakville, southeast of Memphis.
According to the address given by Harten, Jimmy came to Wendy Street, a small street here, and found the specific house number. However, the police cordoned off the place.
Jimmy parked the car on the side of the road and walked towards the police cordon, where a police officer was guarding the scene.
Jimmy: "Hey, officer, what's going on here?"
Police: "It has nothing to do with you, please stay back."
Jimmy: "I came to see Mary. She lives here. I came from Little Rock. I called her and her phone was turned off."
Jimmy took out his police badge from his pocket, "My name is Jimmy, Jimmy Young. For the sake of being a police officer, just tell me a little bit."
The policeman took the badge, looked at it, and then gave it back to Jimmy.
Police: "A murder occurred here. The Mary you mentioned does live here, but she is not inside. Her mother was shot and killed. Mary and her father Kevin Hogan are not here, and we cannot contact them for the time being." .”
Reading with rice balls
Jimmy: "Oh my gosh, nothing will happen to Mary. I came all the way from Little Rock to see her."
Police: "We are not sure yet, we are also looking for you. What about you? What will you do next?"
Jimmy: "I think it's better to wait for news from you. Can you let me know if there is any news? This is my card. I will be here in Memphis in the next few days."
Jimmy handed his police station's business card to the policeman, who nodded after receiving the card.
Jimmy turned back to his car, left Wendy Street, and found a hotel to stay outside.
In the conversation just now, Jimmy got the names of Mary and her stepfather, Mary Hogan and Kevin Hogan. There is nothing we can do now. A murder has occurred here. Judging from the police presence at the scene, this case must be the focus of the police detectives.
There was no problem with his identity, and he had just come from Little Rock. As long as the police checked his identity, they would know Jimmy's information, and there would be no misunderstanding.
Now the key content has changed. Previously, Jimmy planned to check the scene to see if there were any clues. Now that the police have checked, Jimmy does not need to check. He also knows the police procedures. The scene has been inspected by many police officers. It has been messed up, and even if relevant clues are found, it is impossible to give them to Jimmy.
Jimmy's biggest question now is why someone would capture Mary, a minor.
Usually kidnappings have a clear purpose. In theory, there is no conspiracy behind a young man like Mary, so she is likely to be involved. Mary's mother has been killed, so the biggest suspicion is her stepfather Kevin Hogan.
Jimmy walked out of the hotel to an open space and took out his prepaid mobile phone. This mobile phone has only one use, which is to contact Justin.
It's afternoon now, and Justin should already be preparing for the bar to open in the evening. The phone rang twice and was picked up.
Jimmy: "Justin, I need to investigate someone, Memphis Oakville, do you have a channel over there?"
Justin: "Of course you can, but you need to contact other partners to handle it. I don't have the relevant information here."
Jimmy: "OK, give me your contact information."
Jimmy wrote down the address and phone number given by Justin and returned to the hotel to rest. The address Justin gave was in Memphis, and Jimmy was looking for a hotel in Oakville. Anyway, there was no rush to find Mary. Jimmy drove for most of the night, just to recover, and he would deal with it tomorrow. .
Early the next morning, Jimmy checked out of the room and drove to a bar near Memphis International Airport, which was the contact address that Mia had given Justin.
Why do these people from the dark world like to use bars as their base? Is there any tradition? Jimmy said that he couldn't figure it out at all. Bars are usually open at night, but Jimmy didn't want to do business at night when there were many people. After all, he was not familiar with this place. It would be better during the day, as long as he could find a contact.
Jimmy came to the door of the bar and called the phone number left by Justin.
A woman's voice: "Hello, who are you?"
Jimmy: "Justin from Little Rock introduced me to you. I was at the door of the bar."
"Hold on."
Jimmy waited at the door for nearly 5 minutes before he saw a figure walking towards the door of the bar. The door opened and a woman appeared behind it.
"Please come in."
Jimmy followed him into the bar, and the lady closed the door behind him.
