Nelson didn't expect Jimmy to disappear by accident when he opened his mouth, and he stared at Jimmy with wide eyes and didn't say a word.

Jimmy waited for a while, and found that Nelson had no intention of speaking at all, and did not wait any longer, took a step forward, raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, Nelson fell from the chair with a slam, and fell directly to the ground, letting out an exclamation. "Ahh

Jimmy didn't mean to help him, but stood there and looked down at him, "Are you doubting my abilities?" ”

Nelson struggled to sit up, and then took Jimmy's kick, Jimmy didn't directly kick the sensitive position, this is a high-end community, can't let him scream too loudly, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Jimmy: "Looks like you're really suspicious, that's okay. People are always responsible for their own decisions. ”

Jimmy walked to the window and reached out to lift the curtains to look outside, many lawn lights on the side of the road in the community were on, and the brightness outside was okay, but there were really no cars and people passing by. He turned around and bent over to take Nelson's arm and let him get up and sit in his chair, feeling visibly relieved and breathing slowly normal.

Jimmy raised his hand and punched Nelson on the head from the side, and Nelson, who fell again, was not so easy, just a brief "eh" sound, and there was no sound.

Jimmy reached out and sniffed, touched the carotid artery again, and made sure that it was okay before starting to clean up, took a bag from the side, put away his mobile phone wallet, gun, dagger, and binoculars and hung them on his shoulder, reached out and pulled Nelson up, and dragged Nelson out of the bedroom and downstairs.

Going downstairs and opening the door, Jimmy looked left and right, then took Nelson out and closed the door casually. Pulling him into his car and putting him in the back seat, Jimmy drove straight out of the community.

Although Jimmy of Little Rock has been away for two or three years, the urban development of the United States, except for some big cities, basically does not change much, so Jimmy is not worried that he will go to the wrong place.

Driving to the western suburbs, there is a small area of abandoned factories here, at least in the year that Jimmy has been patrolling here, there are no people here, so Jimmy drives directly into the abandoned factory, and in the dilapidated room, Jimmy drags Nelson down and throws it on the ground.

I've been measured just now, and my breathing and pulse are normal, so I'm waiting to wake up.

Soon Nelson woke up, Jimmy was standing next to him smoking a cigarette and waiting, Nelson shook his head to look at the environment, Jimmy's headlights were on, so although the brightness was not high, he could see what the hell this was.

Watching Nelson struggle to sit up, Jimmy took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, "Now, do you have anything to say?" ”

Nelson took two deep breaths, "I throw in the towel. For the sake of colleagues, let's have a good talk and let me go. ”

Jimmy: "Then it's up to you to say something." ”

Nelson: "I've been asked to investigate something that has to do with you. ”

Jimmy waited for a few seconds and raised his hand to gesture, "Go on." ”

Nelson: "Someone over there in DC asked me to look into your situation, when you joined the county sheriff, and how you worked during your time as a county sheriff. The other thing is the previous thing in your file, check the specific situation. ”

Jimmy: "You went to James?" ”

Nelson nodded: "Yes, the focus of this investigation is on the county police, so I looked for James, but he didn't say anything." Your file is complete, the police academy has data, but there is no you in the photo of the current graduates, and the state police only have files, I asked a few people, and they have no Chinese colleagues. These are all anomalous events. ”

Jimmy: "The most important question, who asked you to come." ”

Nelson: "Nick Sullivan, a middleman, I owe him some favors, and I have to come from DC. ”

Jimmy: "Who's behind him?" ”

Nelson: "Christian Greg, DHS consultant, former deputy commissioner of the CIA. ”

Jimmy: "Why did he come to investigate me?" ”

Nelson: "I don't know why, I just can't refuse their request, so I have to come here." ”

Jimmy: "I guess you're not in the bureau, right? Langley? ”

Nelson was silent, and Jimmy continued, "Do you think I can't investigate? You've seen my profile. ”

Nelson nodded, "Of course I'm in the bureau, but I've been in Langley for a while. ”

Jimmy: "That's why he's looking for you to investigate me, right, we're all colleagues, and you're not going to be exposed." Good calculation. Man, tell me, what did you investigate? What would they do with this kind of findings? ”

Nelson: "Nothing came of it, you don't have any special relationships here, and what they're asking for is to find the people you care about the most, friends, colleagues, girlfriends, whatever. ”

Jimmy's brain exploded when he heard this, isn't it clear what that means? Christian Greg, Tom once mentioned this person to him, his current identity is suspected of being killed by him, and now he comes to investigate Jimmy, the meaning is obvious, he does not intend to let Jimmy go.

Jimmy: "I'll look into it, I hope you're not lying." Now, what am I going to do with you? ”

Nelson: "We're all colleagues, let me go, I'm not going to investigate any further." I'll be back in DC right away, or I'll be away for a while, and no one will be able to find me. ”

Jimmy didn't speak, just looked at Nelson.

Nelson was also anxious, "Come on, man, I didn't do anything, nothing got out, no one knows what I've investigated these days." Sullivan and Greg didn't know anything, I didn't say anything. ”

Jimmy took Nelson's phone, "Their number." ”

Nelson directly reported the mobile phone number of the middleman Sullivan, Jimmy looked it up in the call logs, and the last call was five days ago, considering that Nelson would not have thought that he would catch him now, he should not delete the call records of the past two days alone.

Jimmy used Nelson's phone to make a call to his anonymous phone, wrote down the number, and then looked at Nelson.

After thinking about it for a while, Jimmy decided to let Nelson go, who was just an investigator and didn't do anything harmful. Of course, the investigation is already a very dangerous signal, Jimmy is not such a black-hearted person, Nelson just did this step, there is no need to kill him.

Jimmy: "Roy Nelson, can I trust you?" ”

Nelson: "Trust me, you already know who I am, my message, and I'm not going to risk it." 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, don't show up in any agency, at least two weeks. OK？ ”

Nelson nodded, "No problem, two weeks." I'll leave Little Rock, right away. ”

Jimmy nodded, pulled out the bag containing Nelson's gear, rechecked it, took out all the pistol bullets, and placed the bag in the passenger seat. "Get in the car, I'll take you back."

Nelson had his hands tied behind his back, and Jimmy didn't untie him, just walked over and pulled him up, got him up in the back seat of the car, and hung up his seat belt to secure it.

Jimmy wasn't worried about what Nelson would do in the back seat, and with his hands behind his back, the seat belt was simply fastened, and if he behaved unusually, Jimmy would be able to spot it.

Arriving at James' neighborhood, Jimmy gets out of the car, tells Nelson to get out of the car, cuts the tie and hands him the bag. "I don't think we want to see each other again, Nelson, take care."

Nelson nodded and walked towards the house with his bag, and Jimmy watched him enter the house and drive out of the neighborhood and park outside.

Ten minutes or so, Nelson left the neighborhood in the same car he was tracking James, Jimmy didn't have a headlight, followed far behind, and saw him get on the highway before returning to Little Rock at the next intersection.

Jimmy called James, "The danger is out for now, James, have a good dream." ”

James: "Where are you?" ”

Jimmy: "Still in town. ”

James: "Let's meet." ”

Jimmy: "Let's go to the bar, I'll be waiting for you over there." ”

Jimmy drove to Justin's bar, and it was handled relatively quickly today, and it was not yet time for the bar to close, Justin's bar was open in the afternoon or evening, usually until about 1 a.m., and until 3 a.m. when it was crowded.

Jimmy came to the bar and knocked on the countertop, "Justin, give me a drink." ”

When Justin came up to him, Jimmy whispered, "Lend me that little room." Justin nodded as he poured his drink, and then continued to entertain the others.

After a while, James arrived, and Jimmy was really conspicuous sitting at the bar, and there were really too few Asians.

James walked up to Jimmy: "Jimmy." ”

Jimmy turned his head and smiled and greeted, "James, long time no see." Justin, have a whiskey. Justin poured James a glass of wine, and Jimmy shook his head, "Let's go inside and talk." With that, he walked to the small room next to him.

It's been a long time since I've chatted in this small room, and the soundproofing is really great.

Jimmy: "James, when did you find out you're being followed?" ”

James: "Two days ago, two successive waves of FBI people came to me in a week, and I had to be careful, and then I found out that across the street from my house, the FBI who came to investigate for the first time had moved in. I've lived here for so many years, and I definitely have an impression of strangers in the community. ”

Jimmy frowned: "There are two waves? Who? ”

James: "The first wave was a young man, around 40, and I didn't say anything, I just let him go back, and then he showed up to us. The second time is your boss, Reece Hughes, who is here to do a background check. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, you have been promoted, and you will be promoted to senior agent in two years. ”

Jimmy smiled: "Hughes, this old man, actually came to you to investigate for this." After laughing twice, Jimmy took a sip of wine: "You can rest assured for the time being, the first wave of people has been scared away by me, and they shouldn't come back in a short time, but I'm not sure if they will come back to investigate later." ”

James: "Tell me why they're investigating you." ”

Jimmy: "The aftermath of Tom's identity. You know, I'm the FBI and the CIA now, and there's something wrong with the CIA's identity, and there's a family enemy who seems to have discovered something, and there should be revenge, and I'm going to continue to investigate. I'll take care of it, don't worry. ”

James: "You're really unlucky. What about Tom? Didn't he deal with it? ”

Jimmy shook his head, "I haven't been able to contact him in a while. Wait a minute, I'll send him a message and try it. ”

James mentioned Tom, and Jimmy took out his anonymous phone and sent a message to Tom, replying quickly, this time the matter really needs to contact him.

Greg's information was given by Tom before, and he must have some additional information about Greg in his hand, and Tom is needed to assist in this investigation.

After sending the message, Jimmy put away his phone: "Don't worry about me, let's talk about you." What about retirement? ”

The corners of James's mouth drooped, and the scars on his face after being shot before were still obvious, "It's not much changed, it's just that you don't have to go to work anymore, and you will spend more time at home." ”

Jimmy: "Didn't you say you were going on a trip?" ”

James: "Not right now, but definitely going for sure, it should be in the winter." Mary wants to go around Europe, we might go to England or France. ”

Jimmy: "Just be safe, I wasn't very lucky last time I went to France. ”

Jimmy chatted with James for a while, and that's when he learned that James's son's family was not in China, but in Europe, and it was no wonder that they would choose to travel to Europe.

Jimmy hasn't seen James' son for two years while working here, mainly because although he has a close relationship with James, he has little contact with his family, except for meeting James's wife Mary a few times.

Jimmy didn't hear from Tom until James left, and it seems that his plan to contact Tom as soon as possible has failed, and now he has to investigate on his own.

There weren't many people in the bar anymore, so Jimmy said hello to Justin and didn't bother to go out to find a hotel, and went straight to the lounge at the back of the bar to rest.

When Jimmy woke up, he drove back to Dallas. Now he is not a free body, Little Rock is not too far from Dallas, and Ray has given enough time to go to Washington, DC, it is impossible to rely on this kind of time.

Jimmy had a bite to eat on the way, and finally returned to Dallas in the afternoon, called Ray, and Jimmy went straight back to the hotel to rest.

It's just a day, Ray hasn't pried the woman's mouth open, Jeff's whereabouts still don't have any clues, the surveillance team left near Jeff's house has been monitoring for a day, and Jeff hasn't appeared at all.

This is not good news for Jimmy, the case is not finished, and he can't even mention the reason for asking Lambert for leave.

Hughes should have returned to New York, and the time James said that Hughes was looking for him should have been when he left Dallas, and it was obvious that what Jimmy said on the farm would have liked to be confirmed by Hughes himself.
