The NYPD officer shined his flashlight on Jimmy and then moved away, "It's you again, who are you?"
Well, this NYPD officer had checked Jimmy's ID before and made a traffic stop on him on the road.
Jimmy: "FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young was investigating the case. He came here when he heard gunshots." Jimmy showed his ID as usual and asked the patrol officer to check his identity. "The gunshots came from inside. He took the He ran out with a gun and was stopped by me. The gun on the ground was his."
A patrol officer went to the car to double-check Jimmy's identity, while another patrol officer stood in front of Jimmy and looked at him. Although he had put the gun back in the holster, his right hand remained on the handle of the gun and did not let go. Go check the gun and people on the ground.
"No problem. Return the ID to you, Agent Yang." The patrol officer who verified Jimmy's identity returned and handed the ID to Jimmy.
Jimmy: "Thank you. I have to go inside to check. The target he just shot at has not been confirmed. Which of you is with me?"
The patrolman who verified the identity walked into the alley with Jimmy. There was a man lying on the ground, and a stain of blood could be seen where the flashlight was shining. Jimmy put on his gloves and pressed the man's neck on the ground to make sure that his heartbeat had stopped. "He's dead. Let's wait for the forensics department to come over."
Two police officers and Jimmy came to the entrance of the alley. The police took the cordon from the car and began to set up the scene. Another patrol car came over and joined the task of blocking the scene.
After the forensics department and the ambulance were in place, they began to investigate the scene and recover evidence. Their priority was the two bodies on the ground, marking them, taking pictures, and collecting evidence.
Jimmy pointed to a wall and said: "The bullet holes in the wall are from the gun I fired. It was just a warning shot. It was not aimed at the target."
The people from the forensics department took out the warhead fragments from the wall. Jimmy fired too many shots because the evil spirit was caused by smoke. In addition to reducing the speed and power of the warhead a little, it did not completely intercept the warhead and still hit the opposite wall.
The shooting this time is not like in the movie where the warheads stop in the air and scatter on the ground after killing the evil spirits. That is too nonsense. To achieve that effect, the evil spirits must have a relatively dense entity, and they cannot It is a complete entity, so the warhead will shatter.
The people in the forensics department are very familiar with Jimmy. The eucalyptus here always makes them see some blood or frighten them, but generally speaking, they rarely shoot indiscriminately. They were whispering while dismantling the warhead fragments from the wall. Jimmy was not next to them at all, so it was not a big deal to talk behind their backs.
Jimmy and the first responders were collecting the two bodies on the ground to be sent to the forensic department. Under the emergency lighting, Jimmy saw the complete appearance of the gunman. He was white, male, and looked quite young, at least. He is also in his 40s. He wears ordinary clothes and looks completely inconspicuous. No one will notice him when walking in the crowd.
He looks similar to Dave who died before. Now he is waiting for the forensic examination. If he died in the same way as Dave, then Jimmy's previous guess should be correct. There is indeed more than one evil spirit, or there is someone else. He is driving evil spirits, and this gunman is just like Dave, just a moving body.
The reason why we guessed that the evil spirit just now was not Dave's is because this area is where Chuck and the others determined that there were more deaths. It is likely that some of those who died were killed by him. The number of evil spirits is Two already.
These are just speculations, but they also put a lot of pressure on Jimmy. Judging from today's evil spirit, there is not much pressure from the supernatural side. The key is that this thing seems to rely on them to kill people to provide souls, or it may be sacrifices, no matter No matter what, it means someone was killed.
The more evil spirits there are, the more people will die, and although Jimmy is not a bad guy, he is on the side of lawful justice, or lowering the standard a little bit, and it is considered lawful neutral. This kind of sacrificing people The situation is still very unpleasant.
After all the investigations at the scene were completed and the others returned to the bureau, Jimmy drove directly home. He had been busy all night. He was a little sleepy now, so he went back to catch up on his sleep. He would continue the investigation after dawn.
In the morning, Jimmy woke up from hunger. It was strange. Normally, with Jimmy's current physique, skipping one or two meals would be completely fine. But he really woke up from hunger, with some slight stomachache. Feel.
Jimmy washed up, went to the kitchen, started the coffee machine, then made himself some fried eggs and bacon, and some cucumbers and tomatoes. He also put 4 slices of bread in the toaster, sandwiched them together, and quickly went in. abdomen.
After checking that it was still early, Jimmy sat on the sofa drinking coffee and thinking about his situation. He was a little sleepy when he came back in the evening. He didn't summarize it at all. Now that he thought about yesterday's battle, something seemed wrong.
Jimmy picked up the holster and took out both the m686 and 1875. The m686 was sure to be able to cause damage to the evil spirit, because Jimmy was sure that after hitting the white dot, the white dot disappeared, which was also within the scope of his initial judgment. The unusual thing is the Remington 1875 gun. From the mind's eye state, it can be seen that the bullets of this gun cause extra damage when concentrated on the evil spirit, because the evil spirit's smoke body has ripples like water when it is hit by the bullet. appears, m686 does not have this situation.
But 1875, like m686, shoots one white spot, which is wrong. Since it is more powerful and causes greater damage, it should be more efficient in theory, but the actual effect is the same as m686?
Roland and his gunslingers' guns shouldn't only have this ability. Jimmy is self-aware. His own m686 may have killed too many people and has some extra capabilities, but it is incomparable to the gunslinger's guns. This But Roland and the rest of the gunslingers have been fighting against demons and evil spirits. How many bullets do they need to carry with them if they can only do so little damage?
Jimmy had seen Roland's holster, and the holster on his belt only carried 30 bullets at most. According to Jimmy, it would take 24 bullets to kill an evil spirit. Roland and the others would definitely not be able to sustain such consumption.
It seems that his method of use is wrong. The gunslinger's gun must have a special way of using it, so that it can exert higher lethality in the hands of the gunslinger. Jimmy thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to try using his mind's eye skill to see if he could increase the power of this gun. Roland said that Jimmy's mind's eye is their Shining ability. Since it is something in the same system, It should be universal, but I still don’t know how to do it yet.
Jimmy got up and changed his clothes, still carrying an extra 1875 with him as yesterday, just in case another evil spirit appeared.
Back at the FBI office, Jimmy went directly to Hughes, "Hughes, I want to trouble you. We sent two corpses early this morning. I hope they give them priority. It's urgent."
Hughes frowned: "What did you do again?"
Jimmy: "I found some clues yesterday and almost caught another serial killer tonight. Unfortunately, he died too."
Hughes stared at Jimmy with wide eyes: "Did you kill him?"
Jimmy quickly waved his hand: "No, he died on his own, so I wanted the medical examiner to deal with him first to determine the cause of death."
Hughes returned to his seat and took the phone on the table. He looked at Jimmy: "Go ahead, I'll make a call now. I'll come back immediately after the investigation is complete. I need an explanation from you."
Jimmy nodded, "I'm sure I'll come back later."
Jimmy has been coming to the medical examiner's office for two consecutive days, and he is still here waiting for their autopsy, but this time it is obviously faster.
It was the old forensic doctor from yesterday when he saw Jimmy: "How did you find this man? He is in the same condition as yesterday's corpse. There are internal injuries but no external injuries. The cause of death is the same as suffocation."
Jimmy: "Have you asked anyone else about the reason for this?"
The old forensic doctor shook his head: "No, this is very rare. Several people I contacted have never seen it."
Jimmy: "Then I understand. I still have something to do and need to go back as soon as possible. Please provide the autopsy report as soon as possible."
After Jimmy finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly his arm was pulled by the old forensic doctor, "You haven't said how you found him yet."
Jimmy looked at the old forensic doctor and shook his head: "This case is very complicated. I can't reveal the relevant clues for the time being. I'm going back to the bureau to deal with this now. I will tell you if there is a chance later."
The old forensic doctor let go of his hand, and then waved his hand at Jimmy, telling him to get out of here.
Jimmy has returned to the bureau, and there are still many uncertainties, such as who their evil spirits come from, how they contact them, how the people behind them control the evil spirits, etc., but there is no way, Hughes has already spoken, Jimmy will always have to Communicate with him about some of the current situation.
Lambert in Dallas knows about supernatural events, and the old man Hughes must also know about it. Moreover, he is from New York, and his position is more important than that in Dallas. In theory, just in theory, his level is higher than Lambert. Even higher. There are definitely more messy things here in New York than there are in Dallas.
Jimmy returned to his office, sorted out all the information, and came to Hughes' office with a thick pile of information.
Hughes: "These are the materials for this eucalyptus?"
Jimmy: "Yes, the cause of this case is the four cases of taxi drivers being killed that were submitted by the NYPD." Jimmy found the first four cases and gave them to Hughes.
Jimmy: "These four car accidents have similar characteristics. The gunman used a silencer in the last three car accidents and applied glue on his hands. There was no fingerprints or other information left on the car. I later found some connections. , got a clue from a homeless man, the gunman is white, 170-175cm tall, wearing a hat and glasses." Then he took out a copy of the surveillance video.
Jimmy: "Because he was involved in the bailiff's mission, Eucalyptus was delayed for a while. During this period, Nick obtained a surveillance video through his relationship and found Dave's record from it." Jimmy took out the surveillance camera The image of Dave in it is still very unclear. He handed it to Hughes, who looked at it and nodded.
Jimmy: "I searched for the place where he disappeared from the surveillance for a long time. Finally, with the help of Lu Yinzi, I got his location from an informant. I just haven't determined the specific room yet, so I arranged a surveillance team. Go and monitor, I applied for this with you in the first place." Hughes continued to nod.
Jimmy: "Then the surveillance team found a person who matched the characteristics, which was Dave. We followed Dave around 11 o'clock in the evening and found that he had killed a homeless man in Queens. We arrested him after that. Because I was the one who caught him. It was current, so under the advice of his lawyer, he confessed to the fact that he had killed the homeless man. This is the record of his two interrogations."
Jimmy took out the interrogation record that he was going to ask Dave to sign and showed it to Hughes, "Then the very strange death happened the day before yesterday. According to the forensic autopsy, there was no abnormality on the surface of Dave's body, no bruises or beatings. There were traces, but his internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, and the prisoner next to him was frightened to death in the middle of the night. He died of complete fright, so I speculated that there should be some abnormal conditions here, and it was probably a supernatural event. "
Hughes: "Wait, how do you know it's a supernatural incident?"
Jimmy: "The elimination method and personal experience. When I was seconded to Dallas, I investigated several disappearances at the same place. That time it was because of a ghost in the river that caused several people to disappear. Later, Father Horton The resentful spirit was eliminated with the help of Director Lambert, who also invited Father Holden.
As for the death of Dave, it was the first time that forensic doctors discovered this situation. Coupled with the horrified expression and death of the prisoner next door, and the fact that no one was found in the surveillance, I speculated that it might be another supernatural incident. If it is man-made, in theory, other people in the detention center will not feel it at all. The surveillance may be manipulative, but you can't bribe all the prison guards and prisoners, right? From this perspective, the possibility of supernatural events is higher. "
Hughes thought for a while, nodded, and acknowledged Jimmy's statement, "Continue."
Jimmy: "Excluding other circumstances, if it is a supernatural incident, I have reorganized Dave's motives for killing taxi drivers and homeless people. I extremely suspect that Dave may have killed people to sacrifice his soul to evil spirits in order to achieve the goal. The purpose is to enhance the strength of the evil spirit. But one thing that cannot be explained is why the evil spirit suddenly killed his host and left at night. Dave had just participated in the interrogation before, and everything was normal.
So here, I suspect that Dave may not be the real host of the evil spirit. The reason is that after Dave was captured, someone went to his apartment and rummaged through the apartment, possibly looking for something. This also proves that Dave is not a person, but a member of a team.
Based on this judgment, the person behind it may not just be Dave, but an evil spirit host, so I contacted Chuck from the NYPD and asked him to help investigate the death records in New York in recent days. This is what Chuck compiled. The locations of death records in the five boroughs. "Jimmy took out the five maps that Chuck and Nia helped organize and gave them to Hughes.
Hughes looked at the marked spots on it, "Are you hoping to find other people like Dave through this record?"
Jimmy: "Yes, from the results inferred from the existing conditions, this is the most likely result. There are relatively few death records here in Manhattan, so I went to Brooklyn first and drove around in this circle for a night. I heard gunshots here early this morning, and when I arrived, the gunman was about to run away, and I arrested him, but the evil spirit in him also came out and killed him."
Hughes: "The evil spirit came out? Did you see it?"
Jimmy nodded: "Yes, Father Holden performed an exorcism and blessing ceremony for me, and I always carry the cross that the priest gave me, so I can still be considered a bit of a superpower. I can deal with some very low-level people." The spirit body causes damage."
Jimmy pulled out his cross necklace and showed it to Hughes. This was the reason he had chosen long ago to cover up his mind-eye ability, and what he said was not a lie, whether it was Father Horton's exorcism, Or his cross is verifiable, no one can say anything. Even if Father Horton talks more, Jimmy can give Jimmy a final blow to the ghost in the river, and maybe he can get some more points.

Hughes: "Go on."
Jimmy: "I did the math afterwards, and I fired a total of 24 shots at the evil spirit. In the end, the evil spirit dissipated and disappeared. Because this was the first time I faced the evil spirit alone, it is not yet clear whether I killed it. By the way, Hughes, I can't write a report on this shootout early this morning. All the bullets I shot landed on the wall. Now I still have a headache to explain why I fired so many shots."
Hughes looked at the materials Jimmy put on the table, and he didn't expect that this serial killer could lead to so many things.
Hughes: "You go to the conference room first."
Jimmy nodded and left. Hughes had something to confirm, but it was unclear whether he wanted to ask Lambert to confirm Jimmy's words or the medical examiner to confirm the autopsy report, but no matter what, Jimmy could guarantee that what he said was correct. .
Ten minutes later, Hughes called Jimmy to the office, "Take these materials back and kill the serial killer as soon as possible. As for the supernatural incident, I have contacted people from the Archdiocese of New York to handle it, so you don't have to worry about it." .”
Jimmy's eyes widened, "Do they know how to find these evil spirits?"
Hughes: "Don't worry, they are professionals in this area, we just need to be responsible for the normal tasks."
Jimmy: "By the way, Director Lambert once said that our headquarters has a team dedicated to dealing with supernatural eucalyptus. Can I know their situation?"
Hughes: "Don't pry, and don't think about switching jobs. Just deal with it honestly. Go ahead."
Jimmy: "Okay."
Jimmy rearranged the information on Hughes' desk and moved it back to his office, but the map made by Chuck and Nia was left behind by Hughes.
