Jimmy and Hope's itinerary is more troublesome, they are going to New Mexico, but they are the first girl to be brought by Hammer this time, it is nearly a month ago, Hammer does not remember the location of the delivery, only that it is in a small town north of Albuquerque, but he forgot the name.

The mobile phone number he got from his mobile phone is also a bearer phone, and they will destroy the bearer phone after the transaction is completed, so it is difficult to locate the other party's location now, and he can provide a house that is just a landmark building that the other party offered the transaction at that time, alternating blue and yellow, because this mark is too obvious, so he has an impression.

As for the transportation, it was not arranged by Hammer, but by a person who was killed by Jimmy, who was only known to be a gang member near Boyce, an acquaintance, but he didn't know who it was, and there was no way to find out now.

One of the most difficult conditions and the search plan were arranged to Jimmy's place, but fortunately, although I don't remember where it was, at least there are marked buildings and mobile phone numbers, and there is still hope to find them by cross-checking.

But Jimmy is not completely hopeless, at least he still has someone to turn to on the Albuquerque side, Hank Schrader and Steven Gomez, senior agents in the Albuquerque DEA office, since they are in charge of the anti-drug work there, they are naturally familiar with the surrounding environment.

Jimmy and the others booked their tickets for the next day, and in the evening Jimmy called Hank directly and made an appointment to talk to him tomorrow, and Hope contacted the FBI office in Albuquerque.

They were well prepared, so when they arrived at the Albuquerque airport, they took a taxi to the FBI office, got a car, and drove straight to the DEA office.

In fact, they can also consult people in the FBI office, but this kind of place with only one landmark building is really not known to everyone, and it is really difficult for them to find someone to confirm where this place is when everyone is not familiar with it.

Hank is still very enthusiastic, before in New York, if it wasn't for Jimmy's help, his wife Mary would be in big trouble, and Jimmy just got a call from Gomez and rushed directly to help, which was too embarrassing.

Hank and Gomez went downstairs to wait for them when they got the call, and when Jimmy and their car arrived, they pulled the door open to show Jimmy the way, and went to a café to sit and talk.

Jimmy hadn't been in touch with them for a while, of course he wouldn't directly say the purpose of their coming, and after chatting for a while, Hank got up first, "Jimmy, do you have any cases to investigate when you came over this time?" ”

Jimmy: "Yes, we're here to investigate a kidnapping and human trafficking case, we've caught the kidnappers, but they sold the girl to a New Mexico guy in a small town north of Albuquerque, so I'm here to get some help." ”

Hank: "Oh, where? ”

Jimmy: "I don't remember the name of the town, but I know that the place where they handed over the kidnapped girl was a blue and yellow alternating house, I've been to Albuquerque a few times before, and even if the houses here are painted with blue or yellow whitewash, they are generally monochrome, and I don't think there are too many houses in this alternating color. ”

Hank glanced at Gomez, "Gomi, do you have any impressions?" ”

Gomez thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't have an impression, such an obvious building, in theory, it should be impressive." ”

Jimmy: "That's troublesome, it looks like you'll have to apply for technical support." ”

Hank: "It's okay, we can ask the others, there's always someone who's seen this kind of structure, it's near Albuquerque, after all." ”

Jimmy: "Thank you, it's estimated that it is difficult to locate the mobile phone number nearly a month ago, and the procedures are a bit troublesome. ”

Hank: "Okay, it's rare for you to come over and have lunch together at noon." ”

Jimmy glanced at Hope and nodded to Hank, "No problem, we should have enough time." ”

In fact, Jimmy and Hope contacted Peter after getting the mobile phone number back to the hotel, and Hope told Peter about their investigation during this period of time on the phone, and Peter also cooperated with the order to arrange for the technical department to investigate the buyer's mobile phone number that Jimmy they obtained, but the technical department found that they had no way to locate the mobile phone number after being authorized to check the data from the NSA.

The interval is too long, a lot of data has been lost or not saved at all, the NSA is not strict sorting and preservation of all data, a small place in New Mexico A mobile phone communication record, if it is the most recent fine, it will definitely be gone for a long time.

Peter is not surprised, the case is not so easy, not all the clues of the case can be solved by technical means, Jimmy and they are facing the problem of losing the signal and not being able to locate it accurately.

However, Peter is confident in Jimmy, this kidnapping and trafficking case will take at least a few months of investigation and evidence collection in their original plan to locate the suspect, and now Jimmy and Hope have captured the main suspect and killed the accomplice in just one month, which is enough to shock all the relevant personnel, and it is not a matter of delaying a little time in the search for the trafficked girl.

However, Jimmy's lunch did not go well, Hank and they received a call from the bureau when they first started eating, and there was an urgent task for them to dispatch, so Jimmy and Hope had to go back to the FBI office after lunch to inquire again, but Hank promised to contact his informant to help him think about where this special architectural decoration style was.

Jimmy, the information they need the FBI office to assist in the investigation this time is actually not complicated, as long as the information of the registered former underage sex offender can be given, according to the situation of Mark over there in Washington, DC, the possibility of such people buying the kidnapped girl from Hammer is still very high, this time a combing and on-site investigation of them, at least a considerable number of people can be ruled out.

The information of the kidnapped girl has not been determined for the time being, and Hammer only gave the approximate scope of the kidnapped girl, and the documents on the girl's body have long been destroyed, and they will definitely not leave these obvious evidence.

The Salt Lake City office has begun to contact the local police to obtain information about the recent disappearance, hoping to match the girl's information.

This does not necessarily determine the identity, because the tourists in the tourist destination usually come from all over the world, and even if her family knows that the child is missing, it is likely that they will only report the child to the local police, because they are not sure where the child is missing, and many people do not report their location to their families every day.

In the United States, there are about 80,000 people who report missing people every year and are not found, and these inconclusive disappearances can usually be understood as the final outcome of the missing people will not be very good, but this kind of news usually does not make the news.

Jimmy, they actually have a very bad premonition, selling girls is definitely not a trivial matter, everyone can guess what the buyer can do after receiving the girl, but there is always a certain possibility that an accident or other circumstances have occurred, and the possibility of the girl dying is also very high, especially if it has been a month, for such a long time, the harsh treatment she has endured is unimaginable.

The FBI database still has relatively complete data on this kind of former criminals, and Jimmy and his family visited several registered criminals in Albuquerque in the name of the FBI to confirm their status, at least not found any problems so far.

They don't care if these people really want to change Jimmy, looking at their state when facing the FBI agents and Jimmy's attentive observation of their place of residence, it is basically certain that there is no kidnapping and imprisonment, which is enough, of course Hope is still the main force of the inquiry, Jimmy is too lazy to repeat the same question countless times.

It's just that the environment in Albuquerque is a little bit not good, Jimmy and Hope are just driving by on the street, and they can find a lot of street gangsters and some over-the-top guys, there are too many Hispanics here, and many of them have a bit of a gang background, so that during Jimmy's visit, the other party almost pulled out a gun directly.

Fortunately, the other party was somewhat restrained on the street during the day, otherwise Jimmy would have pulled out his gun.

There are really a lot of addicts, even the street girls on the street seem to be in a very poor mental and physical state, the quality is also outrageously low, the economy is not good and they have to take drugs, and there are many homeless people staying in the corners and alleys.

Eventually, Hank called, and an informant told him that he had seen a similar structure, a house on a Native reservation northeast of Albuquerque, very similar to what Jimmy had described.

This is a bit troublesome, as the name suggests, the Aboriginal reserve is a reserved land for the local Aboriginal people, this kind of place usually has their local land, tribal law, this legal system is set up to maintain order and self-government within the community within the reservation, and usually, the police on the reserve are also locally selected, with a fairly strong independent responsibility and jurisdiction.

Although the FBI is a federal agent, it also needs to be very careful in this kind of reservation, otherwise it may lead to some unpleasant disputes, and even the appearance of complaints against the FBI in the reservation and the state where it is located cannot be ruled out.

Of course, small Aboriginal reservations are not entirely indigenous, they are so small in number that they are often mixed with other people, so they are not xenophobic, but they are sensitive in some ways.

Hank specifically told Jimmy not to move around the reservation at will, and to contact the police station in the past and ask them to help arrange personnel to accompany the operation, some of the customs and habits of the aborigines are different from others, and it is too easy to conflict.

Jimmy: "It's like an Indian reservation, right?" I've learned about this, and there are Indian reservations in New York State. ”

Hank was relieved to ask Jimmy to call them if he had something, maybe just to help the contact person communicate.

Jimmy thanked Hank and Hope returned to the Albuquerque office for help, asking for help from the office to contact the Koran Reservation Police Department in the northeast to coordinate their time.

The Crane Reservation (I edited) is located near Albuquerque, close to the mountains, bordered by the Gobi to the west and the vast desert to the east. The terrain of the region is varied, including rolling hills, canyons, and some difficult cliffs.

There is a clear river on the reserve, with lush vegetation on its banks, for the recreation and fishing of the Aboriginal people, but the river is not large enough to serve as a simple navigation.

Jimmy and the others rushed to the reservation police station at the appointed time, which was not large, consisting of an Aboriginal police chief and 10 Aboriginal police officers. The policeman who received Jimmy was called Kano, and his full name was too long to remember, so the abbreviation of Kano was easier.

At the police station, the three policemen on duty during the day today were all in the police station, Jimmy and they described the house they needed to find, and several people looked at each other and nodded to Jimmy: "Well, we do have one of the buildings you said, but it is our community center, and many people are usually there." ”

Jimmy smiled and said, "That's great, can you show us there?" ”

Kano: "Of course, we can go over now. ”

Kano greeted the other two officers and drove off in a pickup police car, with Jimmy and the others following only a few minutes later at the community center on the reservation.

Kano got out of the car and walked next to Jimmy, pointed to the building in front of them and said, "This is the community center, we usually come here for tribal events, and the house next to it is a library and museum, and there is an art store where visitors can buy our handicrafts." ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, Kano, let's take a look first. ”

Jimmy waved at Hope, and the two of them began to move around the community center to observe. It's not a well-known tourist destination, and there are basically no tourists now, only a few people who seem to be locals nearby, and it seems that they are not working, just boring daze and small talk.

Kano didn't leave, he followed Jimmy, Jimmy looked at it for a while and said, "Kano, how many tourists are here?" ”

Kano: "No, it's only on special days when a lot of tourists come here, and most of the people from the Albuquerque neighborhood and people from other reservations come here for events. ”

Jimmy: "Was there an event like this in the previous month?" ”

Kano: "No, the next tribal event will be about three weeks away. What are you looking for? The people in your office didn't make it clear to us. ”

Jimmy: "Oh? They may have forgotten. A case of human trafficking, I thought maybe I needed your help. (End of chapter)
