Harden leaned back on the couch with his wine glass and looked at Jimmy. He took a sip of his wine and put his glass down.

Hatten: "Jimmy, who is this man?" ”

Jimmy: "My very good friend, he used to help me a lot, in a sense, he saved my life. So I beg you, please help me. ”

Hatten: "Jimmy, I admire you, whether it's your information at the police station or the last time we worked together on a case, you are a reliable partner.

But this is not the reason why you can come to me to do things in violation of the law, I chose to help you instead of leaving directly, because I appreciate your attitude that you can pay the price for your friends to do things, there are not many people like you anymore.

Now, give me the number, and where she was last seen, and go back and wait for news. ”

Jimmy pulls out a card he had prepared ahead of time, with his phone number and Mary's name, as well as Tennessee Memphis.

Hatten picked up the card and put it in his briefcase, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine inside, and got up to leave. "This cup is yours."

Jimmy didn't get up, but leaned back on the couch, he had already expected Hatten's possible reaction, the best outcome was now, the worst was that he would never be able to contact Harden again, and even he would find his pigtails behind his back.

Now it seems that his luck has returned, and he is very satisfied with the current result.

Jimmy sat for a moment, walked out of the private room with two wine glasses, and returned to the bar.

Jimmy: "Justin, this cup is mine." ”

Justin: "Would you like another drink?" ”

Jimmy: "No, I have something to do, I'll go back first." ”

Jimmy took money and put it at the bar, turned and left the bar.

The next day, Jimmy woke up and picked up the phone to take a look, and there was no missed call, but a text message.

It turned out that Hatten had already helped Jimmy find his location last night and sent it via text message.

With the address, Jimmy was relieved, he quickly got up, packed up, took a few gold coins with him, and drove to the police station.

Jimmy was going to the police station today to ask for leave, and Jimmy planned to go to Memphis himself to see if he could find any clues, and if something happened or he couldn't find it, he might have to use Justin and them at that time.

The matter of asking for leave was very unsmooth, and Director James was very passive about Jimmy's sudden attack to ask for leave immediately, but in the end he still gave Jimmy a week's leave, Jimmy's reason is the same as what he said to Hatten, this is his very important friend, but there is no need to say anything on Director James's side to owe a favor or anything, because Jimmy owes James too much.

Jimmy went out and called Jerry, told him he was going to Memphis to see if he could find some clues, and drove straight from the police station.

Jimmy's gun license has always been carried with him, and Tennessee is acknowledging the Arkansas CCW, so Jimmy carries his own revolver with a gun, there is no problem, whether it is an accident or self-defense, it is an excellent choice.

It's very convenient to get from Little Rock to Memphis, drive to Highway 40, you can go all the way to Memphis, the distance is about 200 kilometers or more, it's not a big problem, Jimmy looked at the map in advance, and waited until he got to Memphis to find the location of the specific address.

For Jimmy, who has been a patrol officer for almost a year, driving with the speed limit stuck on the highway is already a professional skill, and he has met many police cars of the ASP high-speed patrol team along the way, but they have not been stopped, and Jimmy is already a qualified old driver.

Memphis is the largest city in Tennessee and the most populous city in Tennessee, with about 680,000 people in 2006, but it is not the state capital of Tennessee, which is in Nashville. The geographical location of Memphis is very good, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi intersection, is an important port city on the Mississippi River, but also an important transit point for international freight, Memphis International Airport passenger flow is not large, but the cargo flow is huge, second only to Hong Kong The world's second largest cargo airport.

Jimmy got off Highway 40 at noon, found a restaurant on the side of the road for lunch, rested for a while, and then continued on to Oakville, southeast of Memphis.

According to the address given by Hatten, Jimmy went to Wendy Street, a small street here, and found the specific house number, but it was already cordoned off by the police.

Jimmy pulled over to the side of the road and walked to the cordon, where a police officer was on the scene.

Jimmy: "Hey, officer, what's going on here?" ”

Policeman: "It's none of your business, please stand back." ”

Jimmy: "I came to find Mary, she lives here, I'm from Little Rock, I called her, her phone was off. ”

Jimmy took out his badge from his pocket, "My name is Jimmy, Jimmy Young, for the sake of the police, just tell me a little bit." ”

The policeman took the badge and looked at it, then gave it back to Jimmy.

Police: "There's a homicide here, you said Mary does live here, but she's not in it, her mother was shot, Mary and her father, Kevin Hogan, aren't there, and we can't contact them at the moment." ”

Onigiri reads a book

Jimmy: "Oh my God, Mary can't be in trouble." I made a special trip from Little Rock to meet her. ”

Policeman: "It's not certain yet, we're looking for it." What about you? What's next? ”

Jimmy: "I guess I'd wait a minute, can you let me know if there's any news?" Here's my card, I'll be here in Memphis for the next few days. ”

Jimmy handed his police card to the police, who nodded his head.

Jimmy turned back to his car and left Wendy Street to find a hotel outside.

In the conversation just now, Jimmy got the names of Mary and his stepfather, Mary Hogan and Kevin Hogan. There is no way to deal with it now, there is a homicide here, and according to the situation of the police staying behind at the scene, this case must now be the focus of the police detectives.

There is no problem with his identity, and he has just come from Little Rock, as long as the police check his identity, he can know Jimmy's information, and there will be no misunderstanding.

Now the key content has changed, before Jimmy was going to check the scene to see if there were any clues, now that the police have checked, Jimmy has no need to check, he also knows the process of the police, the scene has been checked by many police, it must have been messed up, even if the relevant clues are found, it is impossible to give Jimmy.

Jimmy's biggest question now is why someone would take Mary, a minor.

Usually the kidnapping has a clear purpose, and for a young man like Mary, there must certainly be no conspiracy behind it, so she is likely to be implicated. Mary's mother has been killed, so the biggest suspicion is her stepfather, Kevin Hogan.

Jimmy walks out of the hotel to an open space and pulls out his prepaid phone, which has only one use, which is to contact Justin.

It's afternoon, and Justin should already be preparing for the bar to open in the evening. The phone rang twice and was picked up.

Jimmy: "Justin, I need to investigate someone, Oakville, Memphis, do you have a channel over there?" ”

Justin: "Of course, but you need to contact other partners to deal with it, I don't have relevant information here." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, give me some contact information." ”

Jimmy writes down the address and phone number given by Justin and returns to the hotel to rest. The address given by Justin is in Memphis, and Jimmy is looking for a hotel here in Oakville, anyway, there is no hurry to find Mary This night, Jimmy drove for most of the day, just recovered, and will deal with it tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Jimmy left his room and drove to a bar near Memphis International Airport, where Mia was the address Justin had given.

Why do these people in the dark world like to use bars as strongholds, and is there any tradition? Jimmy said that he couldn't figure it out at all, bars were usually open at night, but Jimmy didn't want to come at night when there were a lot of people, he wasn't familiar with it after all, and it was better during the day, as long as he could find a contact.

Jimmy arrives at the door of the bar and calls Justin Liu's phone.

A lady's voice: "Hello, who are you?" ”

Jimmy: "Little Rock Justin introduced me to you, and I'm at the bar door. ”

"Wait a minute."

Jimmy waited at the door for nearly 5 minutes before he saw a figure walk towards the bar. Opening the door, a lady appears behind the door.

"Please come in."

Jimmy followed into the bar, and the lady closed the door in the back.
