Lambert was also smoking a cigar, but it had been a while since he had obtained the information, so he basically no longer felt the shock. Seeing Hughes consuming brain cells there, he also wanted to laugh a little.
When Hughes first came to see him, the two discussed what they already knew at the time and determined that Jimmy should have another identity, possibly an agent of an agency. But Jimmy, a young man, has never caused any big trouble for them, and he has never done anything to harm them. Judging from his style, it is at least certain that Jimmy is not a foreign spy, because he is too high-profile.
After discussing it, the two decided to let Jimmy go and solve the matter, and then consider how to arrange him. Although many possibilities have been considered, I really didn't expect that Jimmy could cause such a big thing and hide it so well. The disappearance of dozens of people was not connected to him, and there was no evidence at all. and clues.
Now it seems that Jimmy should be from CIA and he must have gone through strict agent training to have such combat effectiveness. It is speculated that it is agent training rather than special forces. The main reason is that Jimmy has no military service experience. It can be seen from his daily behavior that he has no military characteristics at all.
But if he was a CIA agent, why would someone ambush him in New York? Anyway, it's very foggy here.
Lambert: "What do you think? Do you want a showdown? Or are you going to let him go back to work as a civilian?"
Hughes: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Lambert: "Have you ever thought about asking someone to confirm it? You should be able to find someone at DC, right?"
Hughes nodded, took a puff of his cigar and blew out the smoke, then shook his head: "It might be a bit troublesome to directly find someone to investigate."
Lambert: "Can't you find the right person? Do you need my help?"
Hughes: "No. What I'm thinking about is whether to keep him here."
Lambert spread his hands: "It doesn't matter, I don't care if there is one more person, if you don't want it."
The corners of Hughes' lips curled up, "He should have guessed it, right? Our guess about him."
Lambert: "He's not stupid, he must have guessed something, but it's not clear yet what he was thinking. He met me after he came back, and he didn't look very happy."
Hughes was a little surprised: "Huh? Not happy? Aren't everything settled?"
Lambert: "It's different. It looks the same as before, but the smile on his face looks a little fake. This time he went out to cause trouble, and it seemed like something happened or something else made him unhappy."
Hughes thought for a moment and asked, "Lend me your farm."
Lambert: "No problem, I'll tell Jimmy to come over tomorrow."
------------------
Jimmy had no idea that Hughes had come over. He had been following Ray around for the past two days, and at the same time he needed to sort out clues provided by citizens in the office.
Because there is only basic information such as body shape and skin color, most of the information provided by citizens is invalid. Some people even deliberately provided information about enemies, such as blacks or Hispanics, to interfere with the investigation.
A few days have passed since this robbery, and the visit is basically meaningless. Even if most people have seen it, they won't remember it very clearly now, so Lei actually has some plans to give up temporarily and just wait for the follow-up bait money. Clues.
Jimmy is quite interested. He has not participated in bank robberies a few times before. He mainly went to the scene to provide support when the robbery occurred. This is the first time for such an investigation after the robber escaped, so he is sorting out clues in the office. The main force is actually him, not Lei.
A large piece of paper has been pasted on both sides of the whiteboard, and various clues are classified according to skin color characteristics, motorcycle characteristics, etc.
Jimmy stood in front of the whiteboard, looking at these clues and simulating the people and scenes corresponding to these clues in his mind.
Jimmy: "Ray, help me find the surveillance camera outside the bank. I want it from the night three days before the robbery."
Ray looked up at Jimmy: "What did you find?"
Jimmy: "There is an alarm message here. Three days before the robbery, this home was burglarized. His neighbor was a witness. He said the suspect was white, wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. The description of his clothing was the same as ours. The suspect was very similar to the robber. When he opened the window and entered the house, the neighbor shouted loudly, which scared the suspect, and he immediately jumped out and ran away.
The address of the house that was broken into was not far from the bank. It is possible that the bank's surveillance also captured the suspect. "
Lei nodded and called the technical department to find out the video of the corresponding time period from the video. The bank surveillance video has been transcribed to the computer. He only needs to locate and intercept a part of the video and send it over. It is more convenient to play it on the computer. No need I need to move additional equipment to play.
Jimmy gave Ray the piece of paper with the clues written on it, and the two gathered in front of the computer and began to review the video. Soon Jimmy's phone rang, and Lambert didn't say anything, just inviting him to his farm tomorrow.
Jimmy had visited Lambert's farm once before, to cooperate with Father Horton in investigating a box that had been dug up, and he stayed there for a few days.
Jimmy didn't think too much, hung up the phone and continued to check the video with Ray, looking for the burglary suspect.
The surveillance cameras outside the bank have obviously not been updated with technological changes. The surveillance cameras used are still ordinary surveillance cameras. At night, it is basically impossible to distinguish the characteristics of passers-by.
Jimmy and the others did find the suspect in the surveillance, but the camera was not clear enough, it was night, and there was insufficient lighting in the surrounding environment. They could only roughly see the figure and clothes, and the facial features were a blur.
However, the clothes are indeed similar to those of a bank robber, and the figure is similar, so he can be classified as a high-priority suspect.
Ray: "Let's investigate first. This kind of burglary is usually committed by locals. I'll contact the police station. Thanks, Jimmy."
Jimmy smiled and patted Lei, "Okay, I have something to do tomorrow, so you have to deal with the investigation first."
Lei nodded, stood up and left.
Jimmy was nearby when he answered the phone just now. Although he didn't know who was on the other end of the phone, Jimmy did make an appointment with the person on the other end of the phone to meet at his farm tomorrow.
Jimmy was only temporarily seconded, not Ray's subordinate, so he definitely had a higher degree of freedom. Besides, Jimmy had given Ray a lot of benefits before. Even if he just went out to play, there would be no problem. It wouldn't take a person a day to investigate the case.
After Ray left, Jimmy continued to check other clues. Investigating eucalyptus was so boring.
There are many farms in Texas, most of which are large in size, and many are large farms of more than 200 hectares. Lambert’s farm looks very big, but it’s actually only mid-range. Unlike many farms, there is a large forest to the east of Lambert’s farm. This also gives his farm an additional place to relax in addition to growing crops. way, hunting.
Jimmy drove to the farm, pushed open the gate on the road leading to the main building, and drove directly to the front of the main building.
Lambert heard the whistle, opened the door and walked out. Here he had changed into a set of casual clothes, wearing wide suspender jeans and a cowboy hat, looking like a real farmer.
Of course, Jimmy is also dressed in a shirt, jeans, and cowboy hat, but it's not overalls, and it doesn't have the taste of Lambert.
Lambert: "Hi, Jimmy, you're here early."
Jimmy closed the car door and raised his hand to say hello: "Good morning, Lambert, why did you call me here suddenly?"
Lambert waved: "Come in."
Entering the living room, Jimmy was shocked: "Hughes, why are you here?"
Hughes and Lambert are dressed differently. With gray hair, khaki tactical shirts and tactical pants, they look more like people in the military: "I'm just here for hunting and leisure. Have you finished processing your eucalyptus?"
Jimmy smiled: "Are you going to transfer me back? I really miss you." Jimmy stepped forward and hugged Hughes, "Well, you look like you came here to hunt."
Lambert clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone is here, we can set off. Jimmy, what do you use?" Lambert opened the door of the cabinet next to him. There were four shotguns side by side inside, and there were more on the knife rack below. Two hunting knives.
Jimmy: "All right, what are we going to fight?"
Lambert: "Turkey and rabbit, here's the Weatherby for you."
Jimmy picked up a Weatherby Pioneer. It looked relatively new, and of course had many traces of use. The .223 Remington bullet was aimed at small animals, and the small caliber was no problem.
Lambert and Hughes both used the same old gun, a Browning barrage shotgun, and the bullets were of course different from Jimmy's, .30-60 bullets.
Strictly speaking, it was somewhat illegal for Jimmy and the others to hunt on the Lambert farm. Lambert himself was fine. Texas hunting regulations stipulate that ranchers do not need a license to hunt on their own farm, but Jimmy and Hughes did not The state Department of Natural Resources obtains hunting licenses. It's just that there's usually no one here. Even if someone comes over and faces two senior FBI executives and a senior FBI agent, they probably won't be asking for trouble.
Jimmy and the others came to the edge of the forest and started looking for prey. However, they were not very lucky and could not find suitable prey for more than half an hour. Jimmy was the first of the three to open the door. He found a prairie dog in the farmland, asked Lambert if he could shoot it, took aim and shot, and killed it with one shot.
Jimmy smiled and said: "It's finally opened. This is my first time hunting groundhogs. It's quite fun."
Lambert: "It's not a good time right now. If we wait a little longer, we can hunt wild boars and white-tailed deer."
Jimmy: "I think it's pretty good. Hunting is relaxing. It doesn't matter what you hunt."
Lambert: "Hughes?"
Hughes nodded to Lambert and turned to look at Jimmy: "Jimmy, you have done a lot during this time."
Jimmy knew there was trouble when he saw Hughes when he came to the farm. Sure enough, as soon as he fired a shot, Hughes started, and these two old men didn't let anyone feel happy for a while.
The smile on Jimmy's face faded and he said calmly: "Fortunately, the matter has been dealt with. It's almost over."
Hughes: "Anyone else missed?"
Jimmy nodded: "I already have a clue, but the person is not here."
Hughes: "So, tell me, what is your identity? Who do you work for?"
Jimmy was silent for a while, then hung the shotgun on his shoulder, took out the cigarette case and lighter from his pocket, and each of them lit one.
Jimmy: "There are some things I can't say."
Hughes: "Then say what you can."
Jimmy: "I can guarantee that I am not an enemy. Now, I am just an FBI agent."
Hughes looked at Jimmy. All three of them were smoking, and the smoke was filling his eyes. Lambert looked at the conversation and said, "Jimmy, we need an answer. Do you know what impact dozens of people missing in just a few days can have? Who helped you deal with it?"
Jimmy nodded: "I know, but I can guarantee that they have no evidence. I can't give you an answer. I can only say that I have been serving the federation."
Hughes: "Where did you practice your marksmanship?"
Jimmy: "Can't say."
Hughes: "What's your real name?"
Jimmy: "Jimmy Young, former county police officer from Little Rock, Arkansas. These are all true."
Hughes: "You lied. What about the county police? There is a record in the file that you participated in the police academy training after successfully applying for the state police job and obtained the police law enforcement qualification certificate. But they don't remember you at all. It's just that there is a record in the file." It’s just your information.”
Jimmy shook his head: "These are my information, real information."
Hughes: "Why does no one remember you from the previous records, including the school? There are very few Chinese Americans in Little Rock, and they don't remember any Chinese classmates at all."
Jimmy was speechless. The information was all created. He was identified first, and then Tom was responsible for supplementing the information in various places. Of course, no person like him actually existed.
Hughes: "Who gave you the information? CIA? Was it their arrangement for you to join the FBI?"
Jimmy continued to shake his head: "I can't say. Joining the FBI is my own choice and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Hughes: "What's your mission? Say something, Jimmy!"
Jimmy sighed: "There is no mission, I am clean."
Lambert grabbed Hughes, and it can't be said that Jimmy's pile of things made Hughes a little impatient. "Jimmy, say something. You're not asked to say anything specific, but we need to identify you."
Jimmy thought for a while and decided to say something. If he didn't reveal anything at all, his FBI career would probably be cut off. "I received training from some people in the country, but at the end of the training, I did not arrange field missions. I just arranged Dormant in the country.
I became a county police officer just to make a living. It was my own decision to switch to the FBI later. This is my hobby and choice and has nothing to do with anyone else.
I haven't done anything harmful to the game, and I haven't performed any tasks.
Trust me, I'm not lying. Now, I'm a senior FBI agent. "
Lambert looked at Hughes: "Hughes."
Hughes: "Well, cia, it must be them. Jimmy, is there anything else you want to say?"
Jimmy looked around at Lambert and Hughes. This meeting was probably the crossroads that would determine his future path, "Hughes, please believe that I am a qualified FBI agent and I will not be your problem.
I have my own life now, and I'm happy with it and don't want to change it. I am already dealing with some things, and I believe I will be able to get rid of the current troubles soon. Trust me, I can handle it. "
Hughes nodded and looked at Lambert: "I don't want to not fire a single shot today. Let's go and continue hunting."
(I have some extra work these days, so I can basically guarantee one chapter a day. The one I owe will be finished when I take a break.)
