Nelson didn't expect Jimmy to disappear unexpectedly after opening his mouth. He stared at Jimmy with wide eyes and said nothing.
Jimmy waited for a while and found that Nelson had no intention of speaking. He didn't wait any longer. He took a step forward and kicked him in the chest. Nelson suddenly fell off the chair and fell directly to the ground. There was an exclamation. "ah"
Jimmy didn't mean to help him. He stood there and looked down at him: "Are you doubting my ability?"
Nelson struggled to sit up and kicked Jimmy again. Jimmy did not kick the sensitive area directly. This was a high-end community and he could not be allowed to scream too loudly as it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Jimmy: "It seems that you are indeed doubting, that's okay. People are always responsible for their own decisions."
Jimmy walked to the window and raised the curtains to look outside. Many lawn lamps on the roadside in the community were on. The brightness outside was okay, but there were no passing cars or people. He turned around and bent down to pull Nelson's arm and asked him to get up and sit on the chair. He felt that he was obviously relieved and his breathing gradually became normal.
Jimmy raised his hand and punched Nelson on the head from the side. Nelson fell down again and was not so relaxed. He just let out a brief "Uh" and there was no sound.
Jimmy stretched out his hand to sniff, and then touched the carotid artery. After making sure that there was no problem, he started to pack. He took a bag from the side and put his mobile phone, wallet, gun, dagger, and binoculars away and hung them on his shoulders. He reached out and pulled He got up and dragged Nelson out of the bedroom and downstairs.
After going downstairs and opening the door, Jimmy looked around first, then took Nelson out and closed the door behind him. After pulling him into his car and putting him in the back seat, Jimmy drove directly out of the community.
Although Jimmy has been away from Little Rock for two or three years, urban development in the United States, except for some big cities, has basically not changed much, so Jimmy is not worried that he will end up in the wrong place.
Driving to the western suburbs, there was a small area of abandoned factories. At least during the year Jimmy patrolled here, no one came here, so Jimmy drove directly into the abandoned factory. In the dilapidated room, Jimmy dragged Nelson Come down and throw it on the ground.
I've just tested it, and my breathing and pulse are normal, so I'm just waiting to wake up.
Soon Nelson woke up, and Jimmy was standing nearby smoking a cigarette and waiting. Nelson shook his head and looked at the environment. Jimmy's car lights were on, so although the brightness was not high, he could still tell what the hell was going on. place.
Seeing Nelson struggling to sit up, Jimmy took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and said, "Now, do you have anything to say?"
Nelson took two deep breaths and said, "I admit defeat. For the sake of our colleagues, let's have a good talk and let me go."
Jimmy: "Then let's see what you can say."
Nelson: "I was asked to investigate a matter related to you."
Jimmy waited for a few seconds, raised his hand and signaled: "Continue."
Nelson: "Someone in DC asked me to investigate your situation, when you joined the county police, and your work during your time as a county police officer. The other thing is the previous things in your file. Check the specific situation."
Jimmy: "You went to see James?"
Nelson nodded: "Yes, the focus of this investigation is the county police, so I asked James, but he didn't say anything. Your file is complete, the police academy has data, but there are no photos of current graduates. You, and the state police also only have files. I asked a few of them, but they didn’t have any Chinese colleagues. These are all abnormal incidents."
Jimmy: "The most important question is, who asked you to come."
Nelson: "Nick Sullivan, a middleman, I owe him some favors, so I had to come from DC."
Jimmy: "Who's that guy behind him?"
Nelson: "Christian Gregg, DHS consultant, former CIA deputy director."
Jimmy: "Why would he come to investigate me?"
Nelson: "I don't know the reason. I just couldn't refuse their request, so I had no choice but to come over."
Jimmy: "I take it you're not from the Bureau. Langley?"
Nelson was silent, and Jimmy continued: "Do you think I can't investigate it? You have read my information."
Nelson nodded: "Of course I'm from the bureau, but I worked in Langley for a while."
Jimmy: "That's why he asked you to investigate me, right? We are all colleagues, and you won't be exposed. What a calculation. Man, tell me, what did you find out in your investigation? They will use the results of this investigation do what?"
Nelson: "There is no result. You have no special relationship here, and what they ask is to find the person you care about most, a friend, a colleague, a girlfriend, etc."
Jimmy's brain exploded when he heard this. Isn't it clear what this means? Christian Gregg, Tom once mentioned this person to him, with his current identity, he is suspected to have killed his whole family. Now he comes to investigate Jimmy. It is obvious that he does not intend to let Jimmy go.
Jimmy: "I will investigate. I hope you didn't lie. Now, what should I do with you?"
Nelson: "We are all colleagues. If you let me go, I will not continue the investigation. I will return to DC immediately, or I will leave for a while and no one can find me."
Jimmy didn't speak, just looked at Nelson.
Nelson was also anxious, "Come on, man, I didn't do anything, no news got out, no one knows what I've been investigating these days. Sullivan and Greg don't know anything, I didn't say anything Pass."
Jimmy took Nelson's phone and said, "Their number."
Nielsen directly reported the middleman Sullivan's mobile phone number. Jimmy looked it up in the call records. The last call was five days ago. Considering that Nielsen didn't expect that he would catch him now, he shouldn't delete these two alone. Days of call records.
Jimmy used Nelson's phone to call his own anonymous cell phone, recorded the number, and then looked at Nelson.
After thinking for a while, Jimmy decided to let Nelson go. He was just an investigator and had not done anything harmful. Of course, the investigation is already a very dangerous signal. Jimmy is not such a black-hearted person. Nielsen only did this, there is no need to kill him.
Jimmy: "Roy Nelson, can I trust you?"
Nelson: "Trust me, you already know my identity, my information, and I'm not taking any chances. I know you, Jimmy the Butcher, and trust me, no one wants to be targeted by you."
Jimmy: "You need to disappear for a while, don't contact anyone, and don't show up in any institution, at least two weeks. OK?"
Nelson nodded: "Sure, two weeks. I'll leave Little Rock, right away."
Jimmy nodded, opened the door, took out the bag containing Nelson's equipment, checked it again, took out all the bullets from the pistol, and put the bag on the passenger seat. "Get in the car, I'll take you back."
Nelson's hands were tied behind his back, but Jimmy didn't untie him. He just walked over and pulled him, made him stand up and got into the back seat of the car, and hung up his seat belt to secure him.
Jimmy was not worried that Nelson would do something harmful to him in the back seat. He had his hands behind his back and the seat belt was simply fastened. If he acted abnormally, Jimmy would be able to detect it.
When they arrived at the community where James lived, Jimmy got out of the car, asked Nelson to get out of the car, cut the zip tie and handed the bag to him. "I don't think we all want to see each other again, Nelson, take care."
Nelson nodded and walked toward the house with his bag, and Jimmy watched as he entered the house, drove out of the neighborhood, and parked outside.
About ten minutes later, Nelson left the community in the car he used to track James. Jimmy followed from a distance without turning on the lights. He saw him get on the highway before returning to Little Rock at the next intersection.
Jimmy called James and said, "The danger is over for now, James, have a good dream."
James: "Where are you?"
Jimmy: "Still in town."
James: "Let's meet and chat."
Jimmy: "Then go to the bar, I'll wait for you there."
Jimmy drove to Justin's bar. He processed it quickly today. It's not yet time for the bar to close. Justin's bar opens in the afternoon or evening, usually around 1 a.m., and when there are many people, it will open until 3 a.m. .
Jimmy came to the bar and knocked on the table: "Justin, give me a drink."
When Justin came to him, Jimmy whispered: "Lend me that small room." Justin nodded while pouring the wine, and then continued to entertain others.
After a while, James arrived. Jimmy was really conspicuous sitting at the bar. There were really too few Asians.
James walked up to Jimmy: "Jimmy."
Jimmy turned around and greeted with a smile: "James, long time no see. Justin, here's a glass of whiskey." Justin poured James a glass of wine, and Jimmy shook his head, "Let's go inside and chat." After that, he walked to the small room next to him.
It's been a while since I chatted in this small room, and the sound insulation is really great.
Jimmy: "James, when did you find out you were being followed?"
James: "Two days ago, two waves of FBI people came to me in a week. I had to be careful. Then I found that opposite to where I live, the FBI who came to investigate for the first time moved in. I have lived here for so many years. , there will definitely be an impression when a stranger appears in the community.”
Jimmy frowned: "Two waves? Who?"
James: "The first wave was a young man, about 40 years old. I didn't say anything and just sent him back. Later he appeared opposite us. The second wave was your boss Reese Hughes. You're doing background checks. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. You've been promoted. You've been promoted to senior agent in two years."
Jimmy smiled: "Old man Hughes, he came to you to investigate for this." After laughing twice, Jimmy took a sip of wine: "You can rest assured for now, the first wave of people have been scared away by me, short It shouldn’t come back in time, but I’m not sure if I’ll investigate again later.”
James: "Tell me why they came to investigate you."
Jimmy: "The sequelae of the identity given by Tom. You know, I am now the FBI and CIA, and there is something wrong with the identity of the CIA. A family enemy seems to have discovered something. There should be revenge, and I will continue. Investigate it. I’ll take care of it, don’t worry.”
James: "You are really unlucky. Where is Tom? Didn't he handle it?"
Jimmy shook his head: "I haven't contacted him for a while. Wait a minute, I'll try sending him a message."
James mentioned Tom, so Jimmy took out his anonymous mobile phone and sent a message to Tom, asking for a quick reply. He really needed to be contacted for this matter.
The previous information about Greg was given by Tom. He must have some additional information about Greg. This time, Tom will be needed to assist in the investigation.
After sending the message, Jimmy put away his phone: "Don't worry about me, let's talk about you. How is your retirement life?"
The corners of James' mouth drooped, and the scars left after being shot were still obvious on his face. "Nothing has changed. It's just that I don't have to go to work anymore and will spend more time at home."
Jimmy: "Didn't you say you were going to travel before?"
James: "Not now, but I will definitely go, probably in the winter. Mary wants to go to Europe. We may go to England or France."
Jimmy: "Just be safe. I didn't have much luck last time I went to France."
Jimmy chatted with James for a while, and then he realized that James' son's family was not in China, but in Europe. No wonder they chose to travel to Europe.
Jimmy has not seen James' son in the two years he has been working here. The main reason is that although he has a close relationship with James, he has basically no contact with his family, except for meeting James' wife Mary a few times.
Until James left, Jimmy didn't receive any news from Tom. It seemed that his plan to contact Tom as soon as possible was not going to work, and now he could only investigate on his own.
There were not many people in the bar. Jimmy said hello to Justin and was too lazy to go out to find a hotel. He rested directly in the lounge behind the bar.
When Jimmy woke up, he went out and drove back to Dallas. He is not a free agent yet, Little Rock is not too far from Dallas, and the time given by Ray is enough. If he wants to go to Washington, DC, it is simply impossible with such a small amount of time.
Jimmy ate something on the way and finally returned to Dallas in the afternoon. He called Ray and Jimmy went straight back to the hotel to rest.
It had only been one day, and Ray hadn't pried open the woman's mouth yet. There were still no clues about Jeff's whereabouts. The surveillance team staying near Jeff's house had been monitoring it for a day, and Jeff had not appeared at all.
This is not good news for Jimmy. The case cannot be completed and he can't even ask Lambert for a leave of absence.
Hughes should have returned to New York. The time James said that Hughes was looking for him should have been when he left Dallas. Obviously, Hughes still wanted to confirm what Jimmy said at the farm.
