Jimmy stopped his random thoughts in time. He couldn't dwell on this matter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was going to explode. He forced himself to continue reading the documents. Now he only needed two reports to give an end to the taxi driver who had tortured him for more than a month.
After sorting out the information for a while, Jimmy suddenly thought of something. Dave's apartment was ransacked once. Could it be related to this? He immediately called the forensics department to see what they could find.
The results were very bad. Although many places were collected, the fingerprints belonged to only Dave. The person who was rummaging around in the house might have worn gloves or had his hands covered with glue like Dave, leaving no usable fingerprints at all. fingerprint.
I am very disappointed. There is no surveillance at all in Dave's apartment. The previous surveillance team also followed Jimmy along with Dave. After the arrest, he returned to the station and did not continue to monitor his apartment at the scene. It was all such a coincidence. Just like that, the person who ransacked Dave's room escaped.
Jimmy has a headache now. Even if he is pregnant, he still needs to make a conclusion about Dave's death. Although the old medical examiner said that he needs to find someone for consultation, it is probably too troublesome. The final conclusion may be something like a sudden heart attack. Yes, as long as you can fool him. Jimmy is very familiar with the methods of these people. For those who have no answer, he will definitely choose the most trouble-free conclusion and submit it. No one will have trouble with the forensic doctor.
Get out of your seat, go to the sofa area, boil water to make yourself a cup of tea, take a good rest, and then think about whether there is anything you missed.
While drinking tea and thinking, Jimmy suddenly thought of a possible situation. Did Dave cause the trouble alone? Since it could be a supernatural incident, why is Dave acting so badly? Theoretically, shouldn't he use his evil spirit power to escape directly at the scene where he was caught?
Either the evil spirit's ability cannot be used, or the evil spirit is not controlled by him, but the evil spirit controls him. But if that's the case, it's strange. Why didn't the evil spirit come out before?
Dave has been arrested for a few days, and he was very cooperative during the interrogation yesterday. Judging from the lawyer's condition, the communication between them should be very normal, and there is nothing irritating. The detention center also said that before the lights were turned off, everything was normal and there were no fights or anything like that.
What exactly stimulated the evil spirit to make it run out in the early morning, kill Dave, the host, and then leave the detention center?
Jimmy really couldn't come to a conclusion. These inferences had no possibility on paper, and the more he thought about it in this direction, the more confusing he felt.
Jimmy put down the cup, leaned on the sofa and sighed. He hated this kind of thing that might be abandoned halfway. It was a good thing, it was so good to have it normally, but it caused so many troubles.
No, could there be evil spirits belonging to other people? Jimmy sat up immediately and thought about the person who went to Dave's room. What if that person was the owner of the evil spirit? Dave is just a carrier. He discovers abnormalities in Dave's house and then activates the evil spirit to leave?
Jimmy shuddered, holy shit! It's possible. If that's the case, it would be a big problem. By extension, if he can give the evil spirit to Dave, will there be other people who become the carrier of the evil spirit like Dave? If there is only one evil spirit, how can he give it to others?
At the same time, this can also explain one thing, why Dave kills people, probably to sacrifice his soul to evil spirits.
No, once this idea was generated, it immediately took root in my mind. The more Jimmy thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and it also meant that this matter would become more and more troublesome and possibly more and more dangerous.
Jimmy took out his cell phone and called Nia. Today was not her day off and she should be at the police station.
Jimmy: "Nia, are you at the police station now?"
Nia: "Yes, do you want to come over?"
Jimmy: "No, I'm still in the bureau. There's something I need you and Chuck to help investigate. It's urgent. Check the death lists in the five boroughs of New York these days, as well as the places of death. Exclude car accidents or operations in the hospital. The ones who failed, the old people who died of natural causes. It's best if you can mark them on the map for me, I need them urgently."
Nia heard that Jimmy's mood was a little wrong. She didn't ask any questions, but agreed directly without asking for a reason.
Jimmy's guess just now gave him a very bad premonition. If his guess just now is right, then the person behind it may have multiple evil spirits. If he needs a soul sacrifice, he will naturally have some requirements. According to Jimmy Based on speculation, they would not attack the elderly. The people who died in Dave's hands were all middle-aged people, including those homeless people. If there are multiple evil spirits, it is possible to roughly deduce their movement range through death cases, so that Jimmy can go to the corresponding places and try his luck.
This is what Jimmy asked Nia and the others to help find. First, death cases, and secondly, exclude car accidents and elderly people who died of natural causes. Because car accidents are very uncontrollable, and if people like Dave are allowed to cause car accidents, he will not be able to move freely for a long time. , naturally it is impossible to choose this mode.
As for surgical deaths, this is more difficult to control. These people are all in the operating room, and death cases are actually very rare.
Now it’s up to Nia and the others. Some data from the FBI are lagging behind. If Jimmy wants to find out the latest news, he must go to the NYPD. Their data is the latest. I hope there will be good news. .
Nia didn't call until after get off work. Jimmy couldn't wait and drove directly to the police detective station.
The people in the detective bureau are already familiar with Jimmy when they see him. He has been really diligent when he comes here recently. He can go in directly without anyone showing him the way.
Jimmy glanced at Chuck's office. There were only Chuck and Nia in there. The others were probably out to do business.
Chuck saw Jimmy coming in, frowned and asked, "Jimmy, what are you looking for?"
Jimmy was going to go next to Nia. Hearing Chuck's words, he stopped directly at his place, "It's not convenient to tell you. Anyway, please help me find it. I'm really anxious."
In the past, supernatural beings had to avoid certain people. Although the police were not considered ordinary people, even so, not everyone had the authority to know about it.
When he was in Little Rock, James knew that only Cager and Jimmy had participated in Father Royant's exorcism ceremony, which meant that supernatural things had nothing to do with ordinary people.
Chuck looked at Jimmy's expression. He probably understood to some extent. After all, he had been a policeman for decades. He did not ask any more questions, but continued to look up information on the computer. At the same time, he marked an area map and marked it on the paper next to him. on record.
Jimmy came to Nia's side. Like Chuck, she was checking information and marking records.
Jimmy: "Nia, how's it going? How long will it take?"
Nia looked up at Jimmy: "It's probably about another hour. Go and see for yourself over Chuck."
Chuck: "About the same time, please stay aside and don't disturb us."
Jimmy shrugged, turned around and walked out of their office to the adjacent lounge, where there was free coffee to drink.
After a long time, Jimmy fell asleep directly on the table. Nia came over and woke him up, "Jimmy, the data you want has been sorted out."
Jimmy rubbed his face with his hands, then got up and went back to the office with Nia. It was already after get off work time, and no one else came back. It was still only Chuck and Nia.
Jimmy held five maps, the five boroughs of New York, listed separately. Looking at the points marked on them, it seemed that there had been a lot of deaths in New York these days. The smallest number is in Staten Island, followed by Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.
Jimmy took a pencil and connected some dots on the map, but he couldn't form a specific figure because he didn't know how many deaths they had done, so there were too many dots on it, unless first Set the graph and then find each point, otherwise there is no way to find the graph on so many points.
Looking at the map, Jimmy drew a few areas. These are the ones with more deaths. Take some time to go around.
Jimmy put the map away and said to Nia: "Nia, I'm sorry..."
Nia shook her head, "I understand, you go and investigate your case first, I'm going back today."
Jimmy hugged Nia and said goodbye, then said goodbye to Chuck and left the detective station.
Chuck watched Jimmy leave and turned to ask Nia: "Do you know what he is responsible for?"
Nia shook her head: "He has never told me about his eucalyptus, except for the few we know."
Chuck turned to look at the door again, waited for a while and said, "Okay, let's get off work. By the way, don't disturb him these days."
Nia: "Why? What do you know?"
Chuck: "I'm not sure yet, but I have some guesses. I'll tell you when I confirm it later. Let's go."
Jimmy drove to Brooklyn first, which was the closest place to him. Since he was going to walk around the streets at night, Jimmy first found a parking lot, then had dinner nearby, then returned to the car and adjusted his backrest to rest.
After 12 o'clock, Jimmy started the car and began to drive slowly along the street. He is currently driving around neighborhoods with more deaths, and has no specific target, so he drives slowly. There are still some pedestrians on the road, and they all walk very fast. Brooklyn is not very safe in the early morning, so stay outside as little as possible and go back early to be safe.
The NYPD has a relatively large number of police patrol cars. Jimmy has seen several of them on the road. This is good. Having them on patrol can deter some people from seeking death.
Maybe Jimmy transferred too many times, but he was stopped three times by the NYPD in just over an hour. Fortunately, his ID was still valid, and they let him go after verification. Maybe they informed each other, but they didn't stop Jimmy again after encountering several patrol cars.
This kind of waiting behavior was so boring. Jimmy waited until 2:30 in the morning. The car was almost out of gas, but he still didn't find anything abnormal, and he didn't even hear the sound of gunshots. After filling up the car at a gas station, Jimmy parked the car on the side of the road, stepped out of the car, stretched his legs and arms, looked around, and after making sure it was safe, Jimmy took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette.
Just after taking two puffs, "bang bang bang", several consecutive gunshots alerted Jimmy. It was relatively quiet at night, and the gunfire was not too high, so the distance was not too far, but there should be a house blocking it.
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, pulled out his Glock and ran toward the sound of gunfire. Just as Jimmy was about to reach the alley, a man ran out of the alley. Jimmy did not rush directly to the intersection of the alley, but leaned against the corner. Shouting: "FBI, put down your guns."
The people inside were running towards the entrance of the alley. Suddenly they heard Jimmy yelling "FBI" and were instinctively frightened. He stumbled and fell to the ground sideways.
Jimmy noticed that he had fallen, and immediately exposed a little of his body from the entrance of the alley, pointed his gun at him, "FBI, put down the gun, don't get up."
"Put your hands on the ground, put the gun away, and I'll shoot."
"Put the gun down."
The fallen man was about to get up when he looked up and saw the pistol pointed at him. After struggling for a long time, he finally gave up amidst Jimmy's increasingly louder shouts. He threw the pistol aside, raised his hands, and then unfolded Lay flat on the ground.
Jimmy just came out of the corner at this time, aiming his gun at him and preparing to move over. Just after taking two steps, the person on the ground suddenly shouted, "Ah~~~", and he changed his hands from flat to holding his head. The whole person was twisting on the ground, and then suddenly there was no sound at all, and then the movement stopped.
Jimmy's eyes hadn't stopped since just now. When the man was twisting, he had stopped moving forward. He kept staring. When the man on the ground stopped moving, some smoke came out from him, and soon it was Gathered together.
The gathering smoke quickly formed a humanoid shape, but because it was smoke, it looked very erratic. If his mind hadn't been able to accurately describe its shape, Jimmy wouldn't have even thought it was humanoid, because the position of his legs was actually the same as The upper body width is about the same.
Jimmy immediately took back the Glock and put on two revolvers, an M686 in his right hand and a Remington 1875 in his left hand. After the smoke gathered, white spots appeared on the humanoid smoke, but there were a lot of white spots. At a glance, there were at least a dozen Twenty.
After the smoke formed into a human shape, it did not come towards Jimmy. Instead, it stayed in the air for a while, drifted towards the building next to it, and its body gradually turned sideways.
Jimmy didn't wait any longer. The m686 fired at the white spots on its body. All six bullets were fired out in just over one second, and all of them hit. The human-shaped smoke did not float very fast. To Jimmy, this kind of target was not much different from the fixed target at the shooting range.
After Jimmy fired a round of shots, the white dot he had just hit disappeared from the human-shaped smoke, which also angered it. It turned around and floated towards Jimmy, and its speed also increased slightly.
Jimmy switched the Remington 1875 to his right hand and fired again at the smoke. This was the first time he used the gun given by Roland to shoot at the evil spirit, and the effect was surprising.
When Jimmy fired with his m686 just now, he only hit the white spot and did not cause additional damage. The 1875 is very different. Every time it hits the smoke, it can stir up spray like a bullet entering water.
This effect really made Jimmy very excited. Obviously this gun was much better than his own. As a gunslinger's gun, it naturally had an effect similar to destroying demons, which improved Jimmy's winning rate again.
After firing 6 rounds of bullets, the human-shaped smoke suddenly expanded and expanded, followed by rapid contraction. Jimmy took advantage of the time for it to change and quickly reloaded 1875. He didn't use this gun much, and the wheel speed was not used to it. So the speed of reloading was a little slower, but it was done after the smoke gathered.
The smoke gathered into a twisted ball. In Jimmy's eyes, there were several white dots gathered together in the middle of the ball. Jimmy did not wait for it to finish its transformation. It would be too cheating if it caused something big again. Jimmy fired at the white dot in the middle of the ball. After firing six bullets, he changed the bullet again. After another round, all the white dots in the middle of the smoke disappeared.
The human-shaped smoke finally seemed to have lost its support. After swaying left and right a few times, like the smoke rings that Jimmy exhaled when smoking, it slowly floated up and dispersed in the air until it completely disappeared from Jimmy's mind.
Jimmy looked around and saw that he had fired a lot of shots just now, and there were a pile of bullet casings on the ground. He took out his mobile phone and called the person on duty at the bureau, and arranged for people from the forensics department and an ambulance to come over. Then he put away the bullet casings on the ground. The person next to him probably called the police, because Jimmy could already hear the sirens in his ears.
The NYPD patrol officers arrived quickly. Jimmy raised his hands and shouted to the patrol officers who got out of the car: "FBI, don't shoot."
