While Jimmy and Mahone are investigating their trajectory, Felicia has contacted the police. They will go to the car owner's home to investigate and feedback information. All it takes is time.
This is hardened ground, which cannot leave any traces. After walking for a while, they turned back and started searching on the dirt road on the shoulder until they came to the Hudson River.
Only then did Jimmy notice a shadow in his mind's eye. He walked over and found a few pieces of clothing, thrown behind a bush by the river. It looked like they should be the clothes in the suitcase of the car owner, because they were obviously folded. However, it scattered a little when it was thrown out. There were two orange prison uniforms next to it, which were stained with the smell of sewers. It smelled terrible.
Jimmy: "Mahong, there is something here." When Mahone saw these clothes, he called the local police to come over and set up a cordon and not let them get close. There may be their footprints here, and people from the forensics department need to investigate, Jimmy He and Ma Hong carefully retreated.
Jimmy: "It seems they may have left from the river." Mahone: "Not necessarily. There is also a railroad track here. They may also walk forward and backward along the railroad track." Jimmy: "It is possible, but I still think the railway is not It's very possible that there is only one railway track here. It should be specially built by some kind of business. It definitely cannot be a passenger railway. Even if the trains on this railway are still running, there will definitely not be many trains. They are not so lucky to just meet one. It's a moving train." Mahone: "Well, that makes sense. Let's investigate the Hudson River first." Mahone looked at the Hudson River in front of him and felt a headache. He turned around and called Felicia over.
"Felicia, contact the police station and ask them to notify the state police and the county and city police stations around the Hudson River to conduct an investigation around the Hudson River. Call two more K9 teams over, we need their assistance." Jimmy : "Another point is that he may have created suspicion and walked left and right along the river. There is no dock at our current location, and ordinary boats cannot dock here to pick up people. Either they happen to hit the boat, or they Find the location along the river." Mahone nodded: "Jimmy, you go north along the river to find a section first, and we'll look south." Jimmy nodded and looked north along the river bank. He found the car from From the beginning, the mind's eye was activated and it never stopped.
Now when searching along the river bank, it is a little more convenient for the mind to be able to find things hidden behind other objects that cannot be seen with normal sight.
This is not an area covered by normal roads. There are no roads or buildings nearby. It is a complete wasteland. There are some sparse trees and bushes by the river. Within the coverage of the Heart Eye, Jimmy is not worried about someone ambushing him here, but It's just that walking is a bit slow, the environment here is not very good, and cars can't drive in. Jimmy wishes he had a motorcycle, so that he could at least take a short walk in a place like this.
While walking, thinking, and looking around, Jimmy slowly got farther and farther away from Mahone and the others.
Jimmy was used to dealing with things alone. After walking for a long time, all he could think about was tracking down, and he almost forgot that there were two people waiting there.
He took out his mobile phone and took a look. There were only two bars of signal, and the full signal was 4 bars. FK, this is still in New York State. Although the place is a bit remote, it won't be like this.
Regarding the mobile phone signal coverage area in the United States, Jimmy was speechless. It would definitely be no problem in and around the city, but in the wild, there would always be no signal in all kinds of nooks and crannies.
Fortunately, the current location is not too remote, and I can make calls with some signal. Jimmy called Mahone to report his current location. Nothing was found for the time being, and he would continue to investigate further northward.
Ma Hong had no objections. They were also looking south, while waiting for news from the police station and notifying other departments for a joint investigation.
Jimmy continued to chase forward, and after searching for a while, he found a path leading to the river. At the same time, there was a small wooden dock that was obviously privately made by the river.
Jimmy stood at the pier and looked around. There were no boats here. According to the appearance of this small pier, at most there was only a small fishing boat parked here. This kind of environment was very suitable for the suspect to escape, if there was a boat here.
Jimmy did not notify Mahone directly, but chose to search inside along the path, and soon found a cabin.
It was a home-made hunting lodge, obviously made by one or two people alone, and it was very rough.
Jimmy came to the hut and found no one else within sight. He put on disposable gloves and gently opened the door of the hut.
It's strange that even if this kind of hunting cabin doesn't have a lock, it will at least have a simple lock made of wood to prevent animals from breaking into it.
The cabin looked very messy. Jimmy did not enter the cabin. Instead, he looked around and then exited. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Mahone's number.
Jimmy: "Mahon, I found a small dock and a hunting cabin here. The things in the hunting cabin are very messy and may have been turned over." Mahone: "Don't destroy the scene, wait for us to come." Jimmy: " Okay, I walked along the river. If you came by the road, I'm not sure about the route." Mahone: "How far is it?" Jimmy: "3-4 kilometers." Mahone: "OK." Jimmy reported the location, directly closed the door of the hunting cabin, and then began to search for footprints around it. He had a hunch that the things that had been disturbed here must not have been done by the person who built the cabin. Although his cabin was very rough, since it was hunting Cabin, as a hunter or casual hunter, organizing your own hunting cabin is a must.
Jimmy used to be in Arkansas, and there were hunting cabins like this there. At least the ones Jimmy saw were very neat, with food, seasonings, and wood all sorted and placed in their respective locations.
The two people who escaped had eaten dinner at night. Although the dinner in the prison was not very good, it at least meant that they were not hungry when they left the prison. In other words, they had enough physical strength to escape here. Just now Because they just took a brief look and did not discover the food reserves in the hunting lodge in detail, which means that there is probably food here that was eaten or taken away by them.
Then their escape route might be the small dock just now, or the woods here. Jimmy searched in the woods for a while and heard the sound of the engine, followed by the car's horn. He turned and returned to the cabin. Mahone and the others had already gotten out of the car, except for Mahone and Felicia's two cars. , followed by two police cars and Jimmy's matching car.
Three city police officers got out of two police cars. They should be the police officers guarding the abandoned car just now.
A policeman also got out of Jimmy's car. Jimmy had forgotten to tell Mahone about his car, but Mahone had not forgotten it.
Jimmy: "Ma Hong, I didn't move inside the hut, I just opened the door. Now we need to conduct a round of investigation inside." Ma Hong nodded, and the police behind him also followed over, and according to Ma Hong's request, the surrounding area was closed. cordon.
Jimmy and Mahone walked into the hut. This hut was not big. Not too many people could come in. There were no shotguns and bullets here. They were not sure whether they had been taken away or whether the hunters had not stored them here. There was really no way to do it directly. Judgment, because hunters have their own habits. Some people like to put their weapons in the hunting cabin and prepare them when they get here. Some people just use the hunting cabin as a temporary residence and just a place to rest.
There are wood reserves here, and there is a stove made of iron frames and iron sheets in the middle of the wooden house. Judging from the ashes inside, this stove has not been used for a long time.
There was some hay on a wooden bed, a very dirty sheet, a few clothes, and a pillow made of wood with some cloth wrapped on it.
No quilt was found in the hut, which is a bit strange. No matter what season, as long as you rest here, you theoretically need a quilt.
Judging from what has been discovered so far, this place does not look like a hunting cabin, but more like a temporary cabin for vacation, because there is no hunting knife or other things found here, and there is no ax found here, nor are there any that are found in ordinary hunting cabins. Various animal skins or bone trophies.
They searched around and found no food reserves or compressed biscuits, nor any spice boxes.
Jimmy: "There is no lighter here, and no one is lighting a fire. If it is really the two of them who search and take it away, it is unlikely. It is winter now. Even if they consider that someone is chasing them, there is firewood here. Let's light it." It is also necessary for them to recover." Mahone: "Maybe it is really to avoid being discovered that there are people here? This possibility cannot be ruled out." Jimmy: "Then we still need to confirm whether they are really here. ." Ma Hong: "Let someone check the fingerprints later. If their fingerprints are found, then start investigating nearby." The two left the wooden house and asked the police to call the police forensics personnel. For fingerprint identification, Professionals are more reliable. The key is that although the equipment in their car can be collected, it still needs to be sent back for processing, which is more troublesome.
The FBI has a very high priority in investigating those who escaped from prison. The police department did not waste any time and arranged a large number of people to come to support them. Even Jimmy and the others were shocked when they saw the forensic officers, and they all brought portable detectors. The collected fingerprint data can be directly scanned and analyzed to match the system fingerprint data.
Soon, they detected the fingerprints of three people in the cabin, one of whom was Rob Reilly, one of the fugitives.
Finally, we have a definite clue. The fugitive Reilly did pass by here and searched the hut, but it is not clear what he took away.
The other two people did not have records in the fingerprint system. This does not mean that there is something wrong with them, but that the two people have no criminal records recorded in the Eucalyptus.
There are many cases like this. Not everyone in the United States has a criminal record, or not everyone who commits a crime will be caught, so the fingerprint database of criminals is naturally not included.
Mahone's brows were still frowning. Now he only confirmed one fugitive. Where is the other Cameron Brown?
Where did he go? Jimmy: "They seemed to have escaped separately and not together." Mahone nodded. This Rayleigh walked north. If he kept searching along the Hudson River, there was still a certain possibility of finding him. This is The direction is relatively clear, but where did the other person go?
Jimmy: "Mahon, I think we still need to investigate separately now. What is the name of the owner of the hijacked car? Felicia." Felicia: "Aaron Burns, male, 38 years old, two The owner of a second-hand car shop." Jimmy: "Okay, Aaron Burns. When he was found, he had no clothes on him. He should have been taken away by two people. At the same time, we did not find a wallet or mobile phone in the car. , keys and other items, it can be inferred that they were taken away by two people. I think there are two aspects that should be investigated now. The first is Rob Reilly who has determined this direction now, and starts investigating from this cabin. The second is Ya Len Burns, his ID and bank card are likely to be used by them, and they cannot rule out the possibility that they threatened Burns to obtain the bank card password." Mahone nodded, he had thought about this before,
"I have asked people to monitor Aaron's ID and bank card information. There is no news yet. Let's look for traces of Rob Reilly nearby. I hope the two did not run away separately." Jimmy shrugged and immediately Hong thought really fast. It should be the Manhattan office that Ma Hong contacted when he went north alone to look for clues. It was indeed very experienced.
Jimmy: "Is the K9 team here?" Mahone: "No, it's already on the way. There were eucalyptus and they were busy before." Jimmy and the others started to search around separately. At the same time, they also asked the police to continue investigating the Hudson River and found a small Small boats such as fishing boats, try to check and confirm. They also saw the small dock that Jimmy reported. This kind of dock must be a small boat, definitely not a large yacht or the like.
Jimmy is still searching north along the Hudson River. It has been almost 3 hours since they found the missing car. There is no train passing by the train track next to it. It seems that Jimmy's previous judgment was correct. This track has either been Abandoned, or it is a dedicated track with very few flights.
After going deep into the forest, the scene in front of you is very monotonous. The ground is covered with a thick layer of decayed leaves. In this environment, it is impossible to judge whether someone is passing by, because the forest is not small, and the field of view is blocked by various trees. Blocked by grass, it is difficult to find traces of the ground.
Jimmy observes the surroundings with his inner eye. In addition to looking for people, he also observes whether there are any animals. Safety comes first.
Soon, a shadow appeared in Jimmy's mind that confused him. How could there be someone lying on the ground in such woods?
Jimmy turned and walked towards the shadow he saw, and soon came to this area. It was indeed a person, but he had obviously been dead for a while.
Jimmy took a closer look and saw that this was a hunter. He still had his shotgun beside him and the gun belt was still hanging on his shoulder. There was already a corpse smell here, although it didn't look like there was much decay. But it is winter now and the temperature is too low. It is possible that he died for a few days.
Jimmy is not a professional in judging the time of death of a corpse. He only has some knowledge during the academy training. These are the specialties of forensic medicine. Jimmy and other detectives only need to be able to make a rough judgment.
Jimmy took out his mobile phone. The signal in the forest was very poor, and now it directly showed that there was no signal. Jimmy took note of the environment here, then left the forest toward the Hudson River, and then dialed Mahone's phone.
Jimmy: "Ma Hong, something unusual happened here. I found the body of an adult male. He should have gone into the forest to hunt. The shotgun was still with him. He should have been dead for a few days." Ma Hong was speechless. Don’t you know what our current mission is?
Ma Hong: "I understand. I'll notify the police to investigate later. Since he has been dead for a few days, it has nothing to do with our current mission. We will continue to track down the fugitive and leave it to the local police." This was completely unexpected. , but if you don’t report the discovery of the body, it would be a serious dereliction of duty, and Jimmy suspects that this person should be the owner of the hunting lodge just discovered, but since he has been dead for a few days, he must have nothing to do with the two fugitives.
Jimmy: "But Mahone, this person may be the owner of the cabin. If it is really him, then he must have driven a car or other means of transportation when he came to the cabin. Was it possible that the fugitives drove him away? Or did he come in a small boat? Yes, the fugitive drove his boat into the Hudson River?" Mahone paused.
"We'll be here right away. You wait nearby." Jimmy reported his location and stood by the river waiting for them to come. If they were directly in the forest, there would be no signal over there, and even the riverside would only have one or two signals. , this place is really unfriendly to them, the nearest signal tower is definitely quite a distance away.
