As for the mercenaries, although Jimmy has not dealt with them, he has understood them, most of them are war hyenas, and it is okay to let them do anything for money, and it is a bit too much to travel across the ocean to come to the United States for the sake of their companions who will die at any time, or to fight back against law enforcement officers.

This is very unlikely, just notify the other people to pay attention, and there is no need to do things specifically for them.

But Jimmy was still too optimistic, he had just come back for half a day, and in the afternoon Mahon and Neil came to the office of the homicide team, "Jimmy, something happened." ”

Jimmy looked at the two of them confusedly: "What's the matter?" Sit down and say. ”

Mahon looked at Neil, who then spoke, "Do you remember the middleman?" He's been touched to his temporary accommodation this morning, and if he hadn't had an alternate escape route, he might not have been able to be reached again. ”

Jimmy: "Morning? When? ”

Neil: "Around 7 o'clock. ”

Jimmy: "Tell me more about what happened to him. ”

Neil: "He had just come back from outside in the morning, ready to rest, there was a knock on the door outside, and he found out from the cat's eye that it was one of the people from the last art deal, and immediately jumped out of the window and ran away, and the people behind him did not catch up with him. ”

Jimmy: "Did they break down the door and chase him?" ”

Neil: "He didn't say that. ”

Jimmy frowned and looked at Ma Hong, "Did you go to the site to check?" ”

Mahon: "Not yet, we came over when Neil got the call just now." ”

Jimmy: "Let's go, let's go check it out." Mark, you stay in the office. ”

Mark responds, Jimmy and they leave the office, Neil contacts the intermediary again to confirm his residence, and the trio drives to Brooklyn.

In a hidden corner, Mahon stopped and picked up a man on the side of the road, and they continued to drive forward to a townhouse.

Mahon, Neil, and the guy who picked him up got out of the car, and Jimmy followed behind, and Neil introduced Jimmy: "The broker, you've met him." ”

Agent: "Falkney." ”

Jimmy nodded to Falkney, "Is this it?" ”

Falkney: "Yes, I didn't come back after I left. ”

Jimmy glanced at the house, there was no one else in the three-story building, but he found a lot of hidden compartments, some that looked like guns, and the room was not messy from his vantage point.

Jimmy: "Do you have surveillance here?" ”

Falcney: "There's only one surveillance in the living room, and the view is the doorway. ”

Jimmy: "The door isn't broken, Mahon, you're going to deal with it?" ”

Ma Hong nodded, he directly pulled out the Glock and said to Falkney: "Falkney, open the door, check, let's take a look at the surveillance." ”

Falkeney stepped forward and glanced at the keyhole, "It's not broken, they probably didn't come in and chase me." ”

Ma Hong: "Didn't you say they were chasing you from behind?" ”

Falkney: "I was just thinking about running away......

Several people were speechless, and Falkeney estimated that he was frightened on the day of the transaction, and completely became a frightened bird, and ran away with a little movement.

Ma Hong: "Let's go and see the monitoring first." ”

As they thought, because Falkeney saw from the cat's eye that the person outside was one of the people who traded art before, he scared himself and ran fast, completely ignoring whether the other party really wanted to trouble him, the other party didn't even enter the door, and the surveillance in the living room naturally didn't capture anything, but it did capture some of Falkney's heroic appearance when he escaped.

Mahong: "You're sure the person who came here is one of them, right?" ”

Falkney: "I'm sure, I swear it is. ”

Mahon turned his head to look at Jimmy, and then turned back: "OK, I see, let's investigate the neighborhood first." ”

Mahon beckoned Jimmy to leave, and Neil stayed in the room with Falkney.

Mahon and Jimmy came to the door: "What do you think?" ”

Jimmy: "Now it seems that the man may not have come to kill Falkney, he should have come to investigate the information, he should have at least observed Falkeney for a while, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the door just when Falkeney came back here to rest."

It's just that if Falkeney runs away like this, it will inevitably increase the suspicion of the other party, worried that Falkeney is collaborating with someone to get them, so that there is no way to predict their next actions.

Also, although it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that, I think there should be a surveillance point near Falkeny, I just don't know what type, maybe in a house, maybe there is an inconspicuous video surveillance on the side of the road. ”

Ma Hong nodded: "I'm the same as you think, it seems that the people who weren't caught last time don't plan to give up, and want to come back to find trouble." ”

Jimmy: "I think there were at least two people on the run, right?" Do you have any news in the past few days? ”

Ma Hong: "No, it's like it's gone, and we haven't gotten any news from any sources that anyone is selling the missing artworks, so it's probably a bit too optimistic that they might sell them." ”

Jimmy: "Maybe it's not that they don't want to sell, it's because their people have died so much that they can't afford to sell in a short period of time, so it's a little bit more likely that they came to Falkeney in the hope that he would trade as a middleman again, although it's unlikely, but it's kind of a kind." ”

Ma Hong: "Well, I'll arrange the follow-up investigation, and you can lend Mark to me for a few days." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, he's here to support you, I'll be back in the office on duty, call me if you need to." ”

Mahon: "Well, you go back and tell Mark to let him come to me, I'll go around first." ”

Jimmy got into his car and started to leave, but it was slower, and he looked around the house on the side of the road to see if he would get anything out.

Jimmy is now the leader of the homicide team, even if Ruiz asks the two cases to be dealt with together, Mahon will not directly arrange for Jimmy to do the investigation, although there is an age gap between the two, but there is not much difference in level, they are both team leaders, but Jimmy is still one level below his administrative level, so it is most appropriate to secondment Mark to cooperate with the investigation, the key is that Mahon has no own people now, and he also needs to go outside to find someone to help.

Jones was shot and lying in the hospital, Diana has not returned from vacation, Neil is just an external consultant who does not have law enforcement powers, and it is all tears to say, and only Mahon is the leader of the white-collar team.

That is to say, Ma Hong and Peter are more capable personally, even if they are on the task, there will not be much problem, otherwise there will be a question mark over whether their team can investigate the case normally, Peter has a good brain, but his personal combat power is really scum.

Jimmy is also very relieved of Ma Hong, with him, Mark's safety is at least guaranteed, much stronger than him alone, but as soon as Mark leaves, he returns to his previous state of being alone and a group, and the biggest trouble is actually that he wants to sneak out to fish, it is more troublesome, they are not only a homicide team, but also an emergency team.

Over the weekend, Jimmy left with Elliot to practice pistols for a while, and Father Rodney had already taken care of the scene, and had called Jimmy before, and Father White wanted Jimmy to come over and thank Jimmy for his help on behalf of the church.

Jimmy didn't really want to go, but if he refused, it would be too obvious, and it would be troublesome to be targeted by their group, so he still had to go, but this time he was more prepared, and in order to show his friendliness, he specially brought the cross pendant from Father Horton and the ascetic ring from Father White.

The kind of power he had seen in Father Rodney before, the power of the Light, had not been seen in this cross pendant or ring, so it was better to wear it in the past, regardless of whether there would be any problems with it.

Father White was still praying in front of the altar as he had done the previous times when Jimmy had come, and when Jimmy came over, he looked at the church and there was no one else in the church, and some people were busy in the back of the church, at least for now, Father White had no intention of giving Jimmy a dismount.

Jimmy and Father Rodney stood behind Father White and waited for him to finish his prayer before walking over, "Good day, Father White." ”

Father White greeted Jimmy with a smile: "Jimmy, thank you, if it weren't for you, Rodney and they might have suffered more casualties this time." ”

Jimmy: "This is what I should do, please don't be so polite." Father Bennett: How are they? ”

Father Wright: "Bennett has been sent back to his parish to rest, rest assured, he has no big problems, but his body has been possessed and has caused serious depletion, and he may need to recuperate for a long time." ”

Father White stretched out his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit on the bench to the side, and when he saw the ascetic ring on Jimmy's right ring finger, he smiled and asked, "Do you still like the ring?" How does it feel? ”

Jimmy smiled and raised his right hand to show it to Father White and Father Rodney, "It feels good and makes me feel closer to the Lord." ”

This ring is a little smaller, the thumb, index finger and middle finger can't be worn, the little finger is a little loose, only the ring finger is a little the right size, the key is that the left ring finger should be kept for a while to wear the wedding ring, so it can only be put on the right hand, anyway, it is only for a temporary use, he does not plan to wear this ring for a long time for the time being, the uncertainty is too high.

Father White smiled and nodded: "This ring originally belonged to an ascetic of the Roman monastery, and he was also one of my guides, guiding me to the Lord's land, protecting the world, hoping that you would treat it well, it will protect you, and bless your soul from hell." ”

Jimmy looked at Father White in surprise and looked down at the ring again: "It's too precious for me to ......"

Father White reached out and pressed Jimmy's right hand, "Keep it, you need this ring more than I do." ”

Jimmy put his left hand on Father White's hand, "Thank you, I'll take care of it." Father White, don't you know what you're doing to come to me this time? ”

Father White patted Jimmy's hand, then withdrew his hand and put it on the Bible in his left hand: "I came to you this time because this time you have expelled a powerful evil spirit, which can escape in the daylight and possess Father Bennett, which is enough to prove its strength, in order to ensure that there are no hidden dangers, Father Rodney wants to have our St. Andrew's Church perform a blessing ceremony for you." ”

Father White didn't wait for Jimmy to refuse, and shouted directly, "Prepare for the ceremony." ”

Sure enough, Father Rodney noticed the anomaly, but instead of asking questions at the exorcism site, he let Jimmy go as usual, and waited until he returned to New York to arrange a follow-up.

Now that was in trouble, Jimmy saw that several people who had been in the lounge at the back heard Father White shouting and came out of it, and lined up in two groups on the left and right in front of the altar, three priests on each side.

The two priests near the altar also had a purple ribbon on their black priests' robes, which were obviously different from the others, obviously they were either of different ranks, or they were in charge of different businesses, but from the perspective of their positions, they were obviously stronger than ordinary priests.

In this situation, Jimmy didn't know how to refuse, this is one of the oldest churches in New York, he can't force it out, right?

If he really does this, even if he doesn't touch any of the people here, it will be a big trouble in the future, you must know that the United States is not an atheist country, and the presidential inauguration ceremony of this country has to be sworn by hand on the Bible.

If he really ran away, it would be enough for him to have people related to the church come to find trouble, not to mention that the church itself is not a soft persimmon.

Not to mention killing people, if he kills people here, it is estimated that he himself will not be far from death, unless he finds Roland and enters the dark tower world through the door to take refuge.

Jimmy looked at Father White, "Is that necessary?" I felt that everything was ok and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

Father White's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, and he said to Jimmy as he got up and walked to the altar: "Everything is to dispel evil and protect the world, please do not refuse the good will of the Lord." ”

Jimmy had no choice but to get up and follow Father White to the altar, while Father Rodney followed them in the opposite direction, standing on the aisle behind them. Now Jimmy is completely surrounded, with Father White by his side, three priests on the left and right, and Father Rodney behind him, this battle has already surpassed the boss who went to expel the lair of the Chaos Gate Church.

Only a few steps, but Jimmy walked very painfully, his heart was very entangled, came to the altar, Jimmy stood next to Father White, Father White faced the altar, put the Bible in his hand on the altar, picked up a heavy Bible, it looked a few years old, the cover has an old appearance, and there are signs of wear on it, it should be used often.

Father White turned to face Jimmy and stretched out his hand to indicate the direction of the altar: "Jimmy, please put your weapon on the altar and face the Lord, we don't need to hold these." ”
