This is an old-looking dagger, the only thing that makes people feel okay is that the blade part still doesn't look rusty, and there are some dull colors on the back of the knife, I don't know if it's blood or rust.

The handle is wooden, blackened, and the gauntlet is C-shaped forward, which looks like it should be made of copper, with some dull yellow, but there are some other dark marks.

Jimmy didn't reach for it directly, but looked at Father Rodney, "What's going on?" Is this a murder weapon? ”

Fr. Rodney: "Don't worry, this used to be a priest's pocket knife, and it's been decades since he died. ”

Jimmy: "This ...... It's a scrap knife, right? I suspect that if I was cut, I could die of tetanus......"

Father Rodney smiled and shook his head, "Since I can give it to you, it's definitely fine." This is indeed an exorcism weapon, but we don't usually need it, so we have kept it in the warehouse and not used it again, and the priest used this dagger to defend himself and kill a lot of possessed demons and resentful spirits. ”

The corners of Jimmy's mouth twitched a little, and he looked at the dagger again, "I'll find someone to fix it, will it affect its efficacy?" At the very least, the handle is about to be replaced, and it looks like it's going to crack. ”

Fr. Rodney: "No, as long as you don't recast the blade, it's fine. It's mainly a matter of time, otherwise I could send it to you later to fix it, it would have taken too much time. ”

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll ask someone to fix it." Thank you, Father Rodney. ”

Jimmy closed the box, took it and left the church.

If you want to recorrect this knife, you must not be able to find someone at random, and it must be more convenient to say that a reliable knife maker is still more convenient in the hotel, after all, there must be many opportunities to use cold weapons in their business, and there must be relevant personnel, and it is impossible to buy a finished product every time.

It happened to be the weekend, and Jimmy called to confirm that Charon was at the hotel, so he drove straight over.

Coming to the door of the hotel, Jimmy got out of the car and walked into the hotel with two boxes, "Charon." ”

Charon nodded slightly: "Mr. Yang, please come with me." ”

Arrange someone to take over the position of the front desk, Charon took Jimmy to the familiar reception room again, Jimmy handed over a small box in his hand, "I gave it to you, I hope you like it." ”

Often troubled Charon, Jimmy always had to be interesting, he had already bought a Dupont lighter before, and he just brought it to him when he came over this time, as for Winston, he really didn't know what to send, so let's do it first.

Charon opened the box with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, I like it very much." How can I help you? ”

Jimmy: "I want to ask, is there a reliable and skilled knife maker in the hotel?" I have a dagger from a few decades ago, and I need to repair it, the craftsmanship must be good, the person must be reliable, and the handle can be changed, but the blade cannot be replaced, and it cannot be recast. ”

Charon: "Can I take a look?" ”

Jimmy nodded, opened the box containing the dagger and handed it to Charon, who wore white gloves when he went to work, just in time to reach out and take the dagger out.

After taking a closer look at the blade and handle of the dagger, Charon nodded: "I think I can find someone to deal with." ”

Jimmy smiled and said, "That's great, thank you, remember to remind the knife maker that the blade must not be cast and redone, just clean and polish it." ”

Charon put the dagger back into the box, took the box and lid it, "Okay, can I ask, after this knife is repaired, do you want to use it or collect it?" ”

Jimmy: "Yes, it will replace the folding knife I'm using now." ”

Jimmy took out the pocket pocket and showed it to Charon, who raised his eyebrows and showed his forehead lines, "Is this the knife you use every day?" I don't think it has a self-defense function. ”

Jimmy: "Usually I use it to cut rope and stuff like that, but I've wanted to change it for a long time, but I haven't had a proper knife. ”

Charon bowed slightly: "Wait for me for a while." After saying that, he walked out, and after a while, he walked in with a box, put it on the table and opened it, and there were several short knives side by side, butterfly knives, switchblades, and straight knives.

Charon made a gesture of asking for a choice: "Please choose at will, these are all brand new and unused, and all of them have been sharpened, as your portable knife before this dagger is repaired." ”

Jimmy looked at Charon in surprise, Charon reached out again and made a gesture of please, Jimmy nodded, looked at the knives in the small box, and took out a mafia side jump knife, the blade popped out with a "click", Jimmy tried the feel, "That's it, thank you, Charon." ”

Charon: "You're welcome. He casually closed the box, "Is there anything else I can help you with?" ”

Jimmy: "No, it's not easy to find a reliable knifesmith for this matter. Thank you for the gift, then I'll go back. ”

Charon put the box Jimmy brought with him on the box and sent Jimmy out of the reception room, and after Jimmy left the hotel door, he returned to the reception room and left with the box and box to arrange the follow-up.

Jimmy drove home, and then took out the mafia side jump knife given by Charon, this kind of knife is a tenon button on the handle, which pops out from the side and locks after being pressed, and the blade is a single edge, similar to the shape of a spear stab.

Jimmy got this black horn handle with silver fixed rivets, the blade and the bottom of the handle are bright silver, it looks very conspicuous and beautiful, the handle length is about 15cm, the blade is about 12cm, it doesn't take up space when put away, and it's enough to pop open.

After playing for a while, Jimmy put away the jumping knife and put it on the table, returned to the study and picked up the textbook and began to work hard, the file is over thirty years old, and he still needs to make up the class to get the certificate, it really hurts, that is, he has a good memory now, otherwise it may take a long time to get it done.

Nia worked overtime on weekends, just like Jimmy felt before, the NYPD has been busy for a while, and since the end of the year, various cases have emerged in an endless stream, but they are all routine cases, so they are all handled by themselves, and basically have not been handed over to the FBI.

Because of the consideration of the marriage leave and honeymoon in the future, Nia has been very active at work recently, and she can also directly use the compensatory leave and annual leave to rest for a while later.

Jimmy's side was not so much trouble, he had already told Ruiz in advance, in addition to the prescribed one-week marriage leave, he took an additional three to four weeks of leave, and Ruiz agreed.

For the FBI, the absence of one or two people is not a problem at all, but there is generally no team leader who will take a long leave of absence before, and Ruiz's request to Jimmy is to arrange Mark and Julia before he takes a vacation to ensure that the murder team will not have major problems, which is one of the reasons why Jimmy has been deliberately letting the two of them go to the case.

In the homicide team, Jimmy has enough experience, and now there are subordinates who can arrange for them to do things, he doesn't need to do much, but he is not there for a while, although it may be inconvenient, but he can still handle the case normally, but the support team may have a little problem at that time, Ruiz imagines that it will be troublesome to directly summon to deal with a certain case temporarily, but there are not many such cases, and there should be no problems.

Jimmy is now dealing with these things in advance, and he can completely let go for a while before he gets married.

Only three days later, Charon called Jimmy, the dagger had been repaired, and in view of Jimmy's work, he arranged for the same city courier to deliver Jimmy's dagger to the door, and Jimmy only had to wait in Federation Square.

Jimmy thanked Charon on the phone, and soon received an internal call informing him to pick up a delivery.

Jimmy directly dismantled the courier at the front desk, the wooden box is still the original wooden box, but the dagger inside only looks like the handle has been renewed, the knifesmith Caron helped to find in addition to repairing the dagger, but also equipped Jimmy with a leather knife sleeve, dark brown knife sleeve is a one-sided stitch, and there is an oblique buckle lock at the handle to ensure that the knife can be stable after inserting it and will not accidentally fall out.

Jimmy pulled out the dagger, the dark brown wooden handle was very comfortable to hold, it could be seen that it had been adjusted with care, the blade of the dagger had been polished, very sharp, the original dark blood-stained part of the blade had been cleaned up, most of the entire blade had been polished, it looked very good, the original C-shaped gauntlet had also been polished, and now the brass color was very eye-catching.

If there is any problem with this, it is the belt loop on the knife sleeve he matched, this belt loop needs to wear the belt through, that is, it lacks flexibility, and it would be best if you could get a buckle to clip it on the belt.

But don't be too demanding, use it like this first, and then adjust it when you have the opportunity later, or find a cobbler shop to order another knife cover, as long as he wants to, there is always a way.

Jimmy asked the front desk to drop the box and he returned to the office with the dagger box. It is not clear whether this dagger can be used or not, and it is necessary to show Father Rodney a look, what he needs is a demon exterminating weapon as a melee weapon, if this knife cannot eliminate demons, then there is no point, and it is enough to buy a small folding knife with dozens of knives for daily use.

Jimmy basically didn't have a few opportunities to fight in close combat, most of the time his gun was enough to deal with various situations, and there were so few occasions when the dagger could really be used that ordinary people couldn't use it, and the master basically couldn't see it.

Back in the office, Jimmy put the knife on the table and continued to fish and read the information, calling Father Rodney by the way to make an appointment to meet at a time convenient for him.

The next night, Jimmy hugged Nia on the couch to watch a movie, and the feeling of renting a disc and coming back to watch a movie was actually okay, the only problem was that Jimmy had fewer opportunities to find movies by himself, and basically all the movies here were rented back by Nia.

Nia watches movies very miscellaneously, in addition to action movies, shootout movies, and even occasionally makes some literary films, the kind of movies that completely rely on dialogue to drive the plot, Jimmy wants to fall asleep when he looks at it, but it is impossible to sleep directly on the sofa, so he can only endure watching it with her.

The song and dance film I watched today is such a movie, Jimmy has worked hard to persevere, but after watching it for half an hour, he still wants to sleep a little, he tilts his head against Nia's head, and slowly closes his eyes and gradually empties himself.

"Jimmy, wake up, wake up." Nia shook Jimmy, he opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Nia: "Your phone is ringing. ”

Jimmy reached out and touched it, but the phone was not with him, and he turned his head to look, and at the far end of the coffee table, his phone was vibrating.

Getting up and taking the phone, Jimmy glanced at it and picked it up: "Father Rodney, what's going on?" ”

Rodney: "Sorry, Jimmy, for bothering you so late, we need help. ”

Jimmy: "You say, what do you need?" ”

Rodney: "I need your help finding someone to temporarily close Van Kland Park in the Bronx, where we need to deal with a tricky incident. ”

Jimmy: "Now?" How long is the lockdown? ”

Rodney: "It's not clear yet, there may be other places, and we'll try to deal with it in places with fewer people." ”

Jimmy: "Urgent? I'm going to support you now. ”

Rodney: "Okay, I'll let you know the location later." ”

Rodney: They are in trouble again, before there was no need to block the area to avoid information leakage in the forest, but now in New York City, although it is the Bronx, it may still cause panic among residents.

Jimmy told Nia to help check the NYPD bureau in the Bronx, if the scene needs to be blocked, it will inevitably be handled by the NYPD, and there are few people on the FBI's side who can be adjusted.

Before Jimmy had arrived at Van Kland Park, Father Rodney called again, "No need to lock down Van Kland Park, we have arrived on the outskirts of Yankes and are moving north." ”

Jimmy took a breath: "Beyond New York, I may not be able to find the right person to cordon off the scene, no matter how many things are there, I'll go to you first." ”

It's a bit of a trouble, Dave asked himself to cooperate with the diocese before, and it looks like he will still get into some trouble, but now that he is out of New York City, although it is still under the jurisdiction of the FBI New York branch, it is very troublesome to mobilize local resources.

Jimmy lights and sirens rushed out, the traffic at night was much better than during the day, Jimmy rushed out of the Bronx, and soon came to the city of Yankes, after calling again, Jimmy found Rodney and them on the Hudson River north of Yankes.

Rodney didn't come alone, he hadn't fully recovered from his arm injury before, and now he was just normal under normal circumstances, so he was next to him, and another priest was fighting a ghost thing that looked like a mutation.

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, do you need me to do it?" Do you need me to cordon off my surroundings? ”

Rodney nodded: "There is no need to lock it down, there is no one around here, there shouldn't be any problems." ”

Jimmy reached out and pulled out the dagger on his belt, this was the dagger that Rodney had given, and just took advantage of the moment to ask, "The dagger has been repaired, Father Rodney, help me see if it can be used now?" ”

Rodney stared at the battle ahead, and when he heard Jimmy's words, he turned his head to look, "Later, it's not convenient now." ”

Jimmy looked at the priest in front of him fighting with the monster, he was holding a broad sword in his hand, and there was a small round shield in his left hand to block, the equipment was a little better than the last time Father Rodney and them, and just looking at their current battle, the monster didn't seem to be too threatening.

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, I'm going to help." ”
