Jimmy rested in his hotel room for a while and walked out into Justin's bar, he was in a bad mood since yesterday, and he really needed a couple of drinks to relax himself.

Jimmy: "Hi, Justin."

Justin was sorting out the liquor with his back to the bar when he heard someone tell him to turn his head and see Jimmy in a cowboy hat.

Justin was surprised, "Jimmy, why are you back?" There was a slight pause, "For Director James's sake?"

Jimmy nodded, he wasn't surprised that Justin could guess that in fact, James was shot, if Justin didn't know, then he would be too incompetent as an intelligence agent, especially since his bar was next to the county police headquarters.

Jimmy: "Give me a drink, whatever."

Justin nodded, Jimmy had already drunk the wine here before, and he had left Little Rock for more than half a year, so naturally he didn't have any wine. Justin was busy mixing at the counter before handing Jimmy a glass of olives Martini.

Jimmy took a sip and put the cup on the bar, he took off his hat and handed it to Justin, placed it inside the bar, and suddenly remembered something. "Justin, speaking of which, the beautiful woman in the bar of the Continental Hotel last time was named Adi, and she is also very good at mixing Martini, she learned from you?"

Justin: "Well, you remember. Well, I was in her place a few years ago, you get the idea."

Jimmy nodded, "Do you have any information here?" The gunman's message."

Justin looked to the side and got a little closer, "There's no information on the gunman yet. I also checked with the customer center and found no bounty list against James, which is almost certain that it was not ours."

Jimmy frowned, picked up his cup and took a sip.

Justin: "Since you're in the FBI, you'd better get the FBI of Little Rock involved, their resources are far stronger than your county sheriff."

Jimmy: "Harden is already on the move, and whatever the outcome, I owe him a favor."

Justin nodded, "That's what you're here for, right?" Doesn't it affect you? You're new to the FBI."

Jimmy looked down at his glass, was silent for a moment, and then looked up at Justin, "Erfriend, Noorseene." (Friend's best friend, enemy's worst enemy.) Justin, I can't just leave James' business alone."

Justin had been observing Jimmy for a long time, and of course he knew Jimmy's character, "You drink slowly, I'll please." Then leave Jimmy's place and go to receive the other guests.

One of Jimmy's goals for coming here has not been fulfilled, and it seems that there is a limit to the informant. But it's not in vain, I've learned from Justin before that the Continental Hotel is already the top organization of the underground killer world, if it weren't for the bounty on their side, not their killers, at least some suspicions would have been ruled out.

The scope of the underworld in the United States is too large, no organization can dominate the rivers and lakes, in addition to the Continental Hotel, there must be many other large and small organizations with killers and other people to do things, unless there can be a clear clue, it is difficult to determine which organization is doing it.

After two drinks, Jimmy left the bar and went back to rest, now was not the time to have fun with his sister, he was really not in the mood.

….

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @

Hatten: "Our supervisor, Pete, has just approached me and asked me to cooperate with you in investigating the eucalyptus of James' shot."

Jimmy blinked, Pete, a very familiar name, he thought for a while, for the FBI director, it should be Lambert who could contact someone at this level, but he didn't expect Lambert to just listen to the reason for his leave, not only approved his vacation, but also helped contact the director of Little Rock.

Jimmy: "Whoever connected us, we should have enough people to analyze the previous clues."

Hatten: "Well, no problem, the two monitoring teams have been notified, they will investigate together, we will wait for their news."

Jimmy nodded, "Have you had breakfast?" I brought an extra one."

Hutten and Jimmy went to the pantry together, brewed two cups of coffee, and waited for the results of the monitoring team while eating breakfast.

Harden's phone rang, he glanced at it, and answered, "Is there a result?" "Okay, let's go."

Harden hung up the phone and said to Jimmy, "Let's go, the white van has an approximate range, let's go to the scene and have a look."

Jimmy nodded, and the two of them left the pantry with the half-eaten burgers, "Wait, Hatten, help me apply for a set of body armor, I came in a hurry this time, I didn't bring anything, only a revolver."

Hatten nodded, turned around and walked to the equipment room, a body armor, an A1 and three magazines, which Hatten had applied for for Jimmy.

Jimmy looked at the A1 in his hand, the rifle used to be 6, this is the first time to use the A1 during the sortie, the problem is not big, although it is used less, but it has also played a few times in the shooting range.

Jimmy puts the rifle in the trunk and the body armor directly in the passenger seat for direct use.

Driving with Hutten to the east of Little Rock, near the airport, which was already very remote, Hutten parked the car on the side of the road, and Jimmy stopped and walked over.

Hatten took out the map, "This intersection is the last place where we saw the white van, and there are about 4 blocks between the intersection with the camera behind it, and there may be the location where they parked within this distance, so we can only find it ourselves."

Jimmy looked at the map, this is a small area of mixed industrial and residential areas, and it is not easy to find a van in this kind of place, which should be common in the factory area.

Jimmy and Hatten split their respective directions, drove away from the intersection, and began to check. For safety, Jimmy and Hatten have put on body armor with FBI lettering, and the badge has been hung around their necks.

….

Jimmy's area in charge of the front is a residential area, about two streets, behind is a factory, he drove slowly on the road to move over, as close as possible to the house next to it, the houses here are all one-story houses, of course, not as big as the villa area, most of the family's vehicles are parked directly on the side of the road or in front of the house, a few can see the backyard there is a garage, but the distance problem, Jimmy saw the situation behind the house.

After looking for two streets and finding no van, Jimmy drove to the factory at the end of the road, he got out of the car, walked to the security room at the door, took out his ID and lit up, "FBI agent, can you call your security director?"

A security guard looked at Jimmy in FBI body armor for a moment, nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and was about to shout, he put it down again, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After a while, a man in a suit came to the gate, and he reached out to shake Jimmy's hand, "I'm Donner, the head of security here, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "FBI agent Jimmy, I'm tracking a faulty car, can you take a look at the surveillance at the gate of your factory?"

Downer: "Just looking?"

Jimmy: "Well, a white van, the night before yesterday."

Donner: "Okay, come in, the monitoring center is over there in the office."

Jimmy successfully checked the surveillance, and sure enough, he found a white van passing by the factory gate, but the monitoring angle here is a problem, and the license plate is not clear. Jimmy asked for a copy, but was rejected outright, and also

Well, as long as you make sure that there is a car passing by, the video is not necessary, and Jimmy does not force it.

Continuing along the road, there is no monitoring in front of him, Jimmy really hates this era, if 20 years later, there are cameras all over the ground, and there is basically a dashcam on every car, how can there be such trouble.

The phone rang, and Jimmy picked it up, "Jimmy, come to me, there's a suspicious car here."

Jimmy sped up to Hatten's side, and when he arrived at the scene, he found a van parked on the side of the road, although the size and style were the same, but the color of the carriage was not white, but a black background, and the company logo was sprayed on it.

Hatten: "Come closer, smell it."

Jimmy sniffed closely, the obvious smell of spray paint, this is not like the spray paint for a long time, and the inside of the car is also empty. Hatten walked forward with Jimmy for a while, gesturing to a roadside garage.

They were still some distance from the repair shop, and the two of them came to the side of the road, avoiding the possible sight of the repair shop.

Hatten: "I've taken a turn here, and the most suspicious thing is this repair shop, and the van we just now is probably the one we're looking for."

Jimmy: "Did you check that license plate?"

Hatten: "I checked, the license plate is hanging under the name of a moving company, and it is the same as the sprayed logo on the car, but this is the only discovery we have found, and we can't directly rule out suspicion."

Jimmy looked around, "You wait for me here, I'll scout over there."

Harden grabbed Jimmy, "Are you sure? It's too dangerous, so I'll call the surveillance team to come over and set up a monitoring point first."

Jimmy: "Don't worry, it's okay."

….

Jimmy approached the repair shop from the side, but fortunately, except for the open space in front of it, there was a closed fence behind the repair shop, and Jimmy should not be spotted when he approached it.

Relying on his mind's eye, Jimmy moved around the workshop for most of his life, except for the front door.

Now the repair shop is basically suspended, there are only five people in the office area, no one in the maintenance area, one person is near the gate, the other four are in the office inside, everything seems to be fine, and Jimmy does not notice any surveillance probes on the side of the fence.

Turning around and looking around, his current location is safe, early in the morning, there is no one outside nearby, the main thing is that it is too remote, Jimmy began to carefully observe the specific situation in the repair shop, there is a small basement in the office, and there are some boxes and other things stored in the basement, which is also normal, in the United States, basements are common, especially in Cold War buildings.

No other anomalies were found, and Jimmy returned to Hatten the way he came, "I didn't find anything unusual, I thought it would be better to go and ask them directly."

Hatten nodded, since no abnormality was found, then it would be easy to worry, just directly determine the ownership of this van, their purpose is to find the people in the van.

Hatten and Jimmy walked over from the front, Jimmy's eyes had been observing the reaction of the people inside, Harden walked in front, came directly to the gate, and said to the person by the door, "FBI Special Agent Hatten, where is your boss?"

「fbi？ Wait a minute, I'll go in and find him." The man at the door turned to enter the office and closed the door with his hand.

Hatten couldn't see what was going on inside, but Jimmy could, he watched the man walk in, came to a man and said a few words, followed by several people inside got up, 2 of them ran to the innermost room, where Jimmy had scouted, it happened to be the entrance to the basement, and the person who spoke took a pistol from under his arm and followed the man outside.

Jimmy pulled out the revolver directly, held it behind him with his right hand, and also reminded Harden, "Be careful."

However, the man inside paused when he was about to reach the door, and the man put the pistol behind him, and then opened the door and came out. A middle-aged white man, beardless and looking to be about 40 years old, was wearing bib pants with some smudges on them.

"Hey, I'm William, the boss here." William greeted Harten in front of him. "How can I help you?"

Hatten: "

FBI Special Agent Harden, I'm tracking down a van and I noticed one parked on the side of the road in front of you, is that your car?"

William walked to the door and looked out, then turned to Hatten, "Well, the customer sent their company logo to spray, is there any problem?"

Hatten: "When did it arrive?"

William: "I'm sorry, I need to keep it confidential for our clients, we're just responsible for repainting. If you don't have any other questions, please go back."

William turned to leave when Jimmy suddenly spoke, "I think you want us to come over with a search warrant, right, William."

William stopped and turned to look at Jimmy. "What do you mean?"

Jimmy had already spotted his gun, in the pocket behind his buttocks, except that the pocket was larger and the pistol was inconspicuous.

Jimmy: "Since we're already here, there's enough evidence, and now I'm here to give you a chance, and if you come with a search warrant, you don't want people to see it, don't want to save anything."

Jimmy just cheated, according to the clues they have found so far, not to mention the search warrant, it is not enough to even go back and bring the rescuers to monitor it, it is best to deceive some information now, if you leave now, it will be troublesome to come back next time.

In addition, there is another problem, the movement of the people in the room just now is too abnormal, until now, the other 3 people are still staying in the innermost room, they took something out of the basement, wrapped in a cylinder, according to their nervous appearance just now, it can be inferred that it should be a weapon bag.

If they really have a problem, by the time Harden and Jimmy leave, they'll be scattered, and the next time they come there will probably be only an empty shell.
