465 Nia's Holiday
Jimmy and Nia got tired for a while, then got up, washed up and changed into T-shirts, and went straight out to buy breakfast, coffee, and milk.
When everything was ready, Jimmy left the hotel with Nia, bought some food at the supermarket next door, put it in the car, and then started planning a trip.
As a "devout" believer, Jimmy of course first took Nia to see the Catholic Church of San Filippo de Neri, which is rich in the style of the old Mo desert.
It's a more than 300-year-old church in Old Albuquerque, built in 1706, but Jimmy's investigation is less than ideal and it's not always accessible.
They weren't very lucky, it wasn't open today, they could only look outside, they couldn't go inside the church. The church was completely different from the ones they had seen in New York, with a dim yellow hue here, but if a lot of people in the mood thought it should be popular, Jimmy was clearly not that kind of artistic person.
However, there is a white statue of the Virgin that has been photographed several times, and the statue of the Virgin stands in a corner of the wall, surrounded by a half-circle of cacti, which is a great contrast to the surrounding earthy yellow architectural environment, which is still eye-catching.
Leaving the church, Nia was still obsessed with the desert, and Jimmy simply canceled several of his planned visits to the museums and drove out of Albuquerque and into the desert to the southeast.
From the very beginning of the Gobi terrain to the edge of the desert, the vegetation is gradually thinning, fortunately Jimmy just drove in this desert a few days ago, he already knows the terrain here, this time he rented an SUV, otherwise this kind of road is really difficult to walk.
Nia also intermittently parked Jimmy's car several times in the desert, the Gobi and desert environment are very desolate, and the desert plants are also very sparse, but they have a very tenacious vitality, even if they look yellow, if you look closely, you can still see small green branches and leaves, and these are the goals of Niya's photo.
The other is the cactus, which is different from the common office ornaments, this kind of cactus grown in the wild is too spectacular, even if it grows together, there are still different varieties and different shapes.
The cactus stands tall in the desert, with spikes erect on it, and there is no way to reach out and touch it. Some resemble giant spheres, some spread many arms like spiders, they come in a variety of colors, some green and some yellow, these are real photo killers.
After taking a turn around the low hill next to him and finding a shady spot, Jimmy cleaned up and spread the floor cloth, took out a picnic basket and beer, and admired the almost endless desert plain in front of him with Nia.
Nia relies on Jimmy, and since they have been with Jimmy, they haven't actually been out much, and most of the time they are still in New York City, and there are very few places like this that can be completely relaxed.
I remembered that I was going to Las Vegas, but the plane turned around halfway, and it turned out that a vacation was completely spent under investigation, which was miserable. Nia laughed as she thought about it.
Jimmy: "Honey, what do you think of?" So happy. ”
Niah: "Las Vegas, remember?" ”
Jimmy thought for a moment, "Oh! I remembered that the hijacking. Speaking of which, this must be our first time out camping, right? ”
Niya: "Well, where are you going to camp?" ”
Jimmy snapped his fingers, "Of course we're ready, we're going for a walk in the desert today, then we're going to Sandia Mountain next to Albuquerque, and we're going to the Canyon Campground, which is the most popular campground in the neighborhood." ”
Nia turned to look at Jimmy and asked expectantly, "Is there any danger there?" Like what lakeside murderer or something? ”
Jimmy's "eh" paused, this chick's brain circuit seems to be somewhat abnormal, you are a police officer, nypd, and a police detective, how can you believe in this kind of fictional plot in a movie?
Jimmy: "Probably not, Sandia Hills is a favorite campground for Albuquerque and nearby residents, and it's also a famous scenic spot, and if that were the case, it's been known throughout the country for a long time." ”
Nia leaned against Jimmy's chest in disappointment, "That's a shame, I've actually watched those horror movies all the time, but unfortunately I haven't encountered them once." ”
Jimmy hurriedly said, "You'd better not touch it, and don't want to run into it." ”
Niah: "What? By the way, do you have a eucalyptus on this in your stalls? ”
Jimmy was stuck again, thinking about whether to name some eucalyptus, and some cases where he couldn't even stand up.
Jimmy: "Of course there is, there is always no shortage of madmen in this country, but they are usually very remote places. ”
Nia looked at Jimmy expectantly, "Anyway, we don't have this kind of eucalyptus in our NYPD pieces. ”
Jimmy sighed: "Okay, let's tell you about two eucalyptus, the first one is the eucalyptus that happened in Pennsylvania in the 80s of the last century, four students acted illegally in the group summer camp organized by the school, they came to a lake in the forest and camped with their own tents, and the two tents they set up and the campfire that had been burned in the middle could be seen on the spot.
That night, a mysterious murderer appeared at their campsite and brutally murdered four students. The bodies of the four of them were found in different parts of the forest, some were cut and bled to death, some were beheaded, and the worst of them was dismembered.
Because all four students are dead and there is no one else around, no one knows what the killer looked like. Based on the injuries to the body, it is only known that the killer used a machete, and there are no injuries from other weapons.
After investigating the scene, the local police found the footprints of the murderer when he left, followed him for a distance, and then the murderer's footprints and other traces disappeared, so this eucalyptus has been fruitless all along.
The second eucalyptus is in Big Bend National Park, Texas, and you've heard of that place, which is also a very famous tourist destination. In a cave there, several skeletons were found, all of them shot, and dozens of bullet holes were found in the walls of the cave, as if a massive shootout had erupted in the cave.
When the bones were found, it was several years after their deaths, and no clues were found at the scene, so they could only be hung as hanging eucalyptus. The identification of the bodies is also not going well, and the number of people who disappeared a few years ago cannot be counted at all, and it is not even ruled out that they are people who came across the border, so ......"
Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and said that the two eucalyptus would satisfy Nia's curiosity, and that some things could not be said too clearly. Jimmy had met a witcher who had several exorcism weapons in his possession, some of which were murderers in the wild. If you really check these, you should be able to find a lot of clues, but they are meaningless at all.
In fact, there are not many casualties due to the anomaly Jimmy encountered in the wild, such as the ghost in the river in Tata Town, Texas, and the ghost seen in the forest when tracking down the escaped prisoner in New York State.
If these two situations are encountered by Nia, there is a chance that they will be tragic, so it is better for them to be city police officers and not to come out casually to check the eucalyptus.
Jimmy added: "Most of the murderers in the movies you watch are described as hideous-looking and insane, but in fact, they are almost all artistic processing, in fact, there are many murderers who don't have so many reasons, or even just impulse killings, and the number of serial killers is not that much. It's just that if you really make a movie according to the actual situation, no one will watch it, it's not exciting enough, it's not scary enough. ”
Nia: "No way, New York is not more than other places, basically you don't have access to this kind of eucalyptus information, and I usually watch so many stories in movies, so I can only guess like this." ”
Jimmy: "Don't underestimate these people, most of the hanging eucalyptus is made by them, especially the eucalyptus that is improvised to kill, so I must be very careful when I'm in the wild." ”
Niah: "Have you ever camped in the wild?" ”
Jimmy shook his head: "It's not camping, it's chasing the suspect in the dark in the wild." Don't think about it so much, you guys are NYPD, you don't have a chance to deal with this kind of eucalyptus, it's better to leave it to us FBI. ”
Jimmy suddenly reacted: "No, let's come out to play, why are we talking about the eucalyptus of work?" Change the subject, change the subject. Speaking of which, how is my future father-in-law now? Are you still against me? ”
Nia patted Jimmy, "I've been getting better lately, at least I haven't been talking to as often as I used to." ”
Jimmy: "Speaking of which, last time you said that someone in your family was in the K-Party?" ”
Nia: "My grandfather, don't worry, they're not so radical now. Why don't you wait until you get back to New York and meet with them? ”
Jimmy: "Well, aren't you worried we're going to fight?" ”
Niah: "No, that's all, I'll arrange it." ”
Jimmy shrugged indifferently, he had already arched the cabbage, then the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and the old man would still point a gun at himself in the future? "Of course, I don't have a problem, but it will take a while, and my mission here is not over yet."
Nia nodded: "I'll communicate with them in advance, don't worry." ”
-----------------
Leaving the desert behind, Jimmy drove to Sandia Mountain, where the newly purchased camping gear in the trunk finally came to use.
Sandia Hill is indeed the most popular hiking and camping spot in the neighborhood, and Jimmy and his family arrived late, and several tents have already been set up.
Looking at the environment, Jimmy and the others chose to start setting up a tent on the very edge, Jimmy chose not an automatic tent, he needed to wear his own poles, drive piles and nails, pull ropes, and have a tent's outboard.
Because both of them did it for the first time, they hurriedly made a lot of jokes, and even when they took it for the first time, they did everything backwards and turns of the inner tent, which was also a rare moment of relaxation.
After a long day of work, Jimmy finally finished the tent, and Jimmy opened the moisture-proof mat and sleeping bag into the tent first, and then took out the stove and fuel, and boiled himself a pot of water to use first.
In fact, Jimmy is not familiar with camping, so he prepares it directly according to the wild life, and ordinary people camping is so troublesome, most of them are semi-finished products or even cooked food, which are all out to rest and play on the weekend, and to make so much trouble is to find trouble for yourself.
But he wasn't going to cook dinner entirely at the camp, as he bought bread and bacon, two packaged vegetable salads, and the only things he had to do were steak and sausage, and of course, the coffee he had to make.
While Jimmy was working on the stove, it was getting darker and the temperature was starting to drop, Nia put on a Jimmy coat and worked with Jimmy to burn the stove and make dinner, and not far away in another tent, they did the same, except that the people there directly cleared the floor and lit a small bonfire.
The campsite is on the edge of a small stream, and the park management has specially cleared this part of the trees for safety and vacated a place for camping, so that accidents can also be avoided, so it is OK to build a fire directly, but Jimmy didn't know it at all, and when he went to buy equipment, he listened to them introduce the things they needed for camping, so he bought a whole set.
Cooking dinner in the field for the first time, Jimmy and Nia work together, sitting on the stove and complaining about the terrible grilled steak while enjoying the peace of the night in the mountains.
There was nothing to say all night, of course, there were some inexplicable movements in the two nearby tents, but fortunately, except for their two tents, the others were far away and should not be affected.
The next day, Jimmy and the others got up, packed their tents and supplies, loaded them into the car, and then took the cable car to the top of Sandia Mountain. This is a famous cable car, the longest single funicular in the world, with a total length of almost 7 km.
The cable car offers a great view of most of the Sandia Mountains, ascending steep slopes and overlooking beautiful valleys, lush trees and lush vegetation on the way.
This is followed by canyons and cliffs, where rocks cascade on top of each other to create a spectacular geological landscape.
Further up the city is a panoramic view of Albuquerque's downtown and suburbs, with buildings, streets, and rivers forming the cityscape.
At the top of the mountain, you can see most of the Panorama of the Sandia Mountains, as well as the desert and plains in the distance, and you can see beyond.
The cable car ride is definitely one of the things you have to do in Sandia Mountain, and it's also one of the things Jimmy has to do in your plan, otherwise it will be in vain.
Of course, Nia is also very happy, although the landscape on the mountain has not been seen many before, but it cannot be denied that even if the landscape is seen, the people around you are different, and the feelings are different.
After playing for a while, they took the cable car back to the foot of the mountain, drove back to Albuquerque, Nia played happily for two days, and it was time to return to New York, returned to the hotel to take a shower, Jimmy sent Nia to the airport, after the two kissed, Nia smiled and walked into the waiting hall.
Jimmy also turned around and left the airport and headed back to Albuquerque, where the time to leave was up.
