North America Gunman Detective

Chapter 1030 - 584: Outbreak of Anomalous Incidents?

Jimmy's question was too specific, and too detailed about the scene. After a moment of silence, Louis said, "William Moore, a black market dealer, middleman."

Jimmy: "Give me his information and address."

Louis: "I don't know. He brought two of his men and they were in the warehouse before we got there. It should be Marco they contacted, maybe to sell some goods."

Jimmy: "How do we find him?"

Louis: "I just know him, never worked together, but I have his phone number, you can find it in my phone."

Jimmy looked towards Ruiz, tilted his head slightly to the side, "Ruiz."

Ruiz and Jimmy got up from the table and walked aside. Jimmy asked in a low voice, "How are you going to handle him?"

Ruiz: "He'll serve as a tainted witness, and we'll apply for witness protection after we initiate action."

Jimmy: "If I arrest him on a murder charge, he'll have to go to jail. Will that affect your plan?"

Ruiz: "He'll find a way to manage."

Jimmy: "What about Seventeen?"

Ruiz: "We'll talk about that later, it's inconvenient here."

Jimmy nodded, "Alright, if you don't have any special plans for Louis, I'll have a chat with him."

Ruiz: "Okay, I'll head back first."

Ruiz went to the small room, brought out Seventeen, and left the bar. Once Jimmy saw them shut the door outside, he unlocked the handcuffs, confirming Seventeen was indeed one of them.

Jimmy approached Louis: "You're clear on the terms you discussed, right?"

Louis dejectedly nodded. He had no way out now.

Jimmy had evidence of him shooting Marco at the warehouse, along with several witnesses. If he insisted on arresting him, they only lacked the handgun he discarded, but with someone identifying him and evidence of him at the scene, combined with his gang member status, it was enough to convince the jury.

The only way to avoid jail was a deal. Since the decision was made, there was no other way.

Jimmy: "Now, I think you should have a way for me to get the closing evidence on the warehouse murder case, right?"

Louis nodded again. Jimmy raised his voice: "Say it out loud."

Louis looked up at Jimmy and loudly said, "Yes, I'll have someone confess."

Jimmy: "Very good, stand up and turn around."

Jimmy unlocked Louis' handcuffs, took his phone from his pocket, and handed it back to him, "You can get back on your own, right?" Googlᴇ search novel✶fire.net

Louis silently walked towards the door, opened it, and left.

Jimmy shook his head. Actually, he didn't have such complete evidence. In truth, when they escaped, Jimmy couldn't catch up because he had to take care of four wounded, and if Louis really wanted to hold out, he could likely have the charges dropped due to insufficient evidence.

Fortunately, Jimmy tricked Louis, and with the help of well-known detective Ruiz, they finally secured Louis without any mishaps.

For Jimmy, his arson murder case was already confirmed to be Marco's doing. Since the culprit was dead, it would be easy to solve the case.

Jimmy gathered the used cups at the bar, then locked up and left. Behind him, Woody and the others would handle it.

Back in the office, Jimmy called the agent at the hospital. The three gunshot victims had finished surgery and were recovering. To give Louis some time, Jimmy decided to wait before taking their statements.

With time now, Jimmy began writing his report, mainly to clarify the deceased's identity and the unexpected discovery that Marco was not among the deceased. This involved the forensic office's report, which couldn't be fabricated.

The data on Marco's aunt, Mrs. Melissa, was already matched during DNA testing. Jimmy merely needed to include it in the report, with a bit of polishing on how he found her.

From discovering Marco was alive, the rest of the report would depend on Louis' side's outcome. If anything went wrong, then apologies to Ruiz, as Jimmy wouldn't rule out some special means to get Louis to confess for closing the case.

As night was approaching home, Jimmy received a call from Dave, asking to accompany him to the Church the next morning.

Jimmy was somewhat surprised, parked his car by the roadside, and thought for a while. It might have to do with something they talked about at a recent lunch with Hughes and Dave, something inconvenient to make public, likely needing his involvement.

Checking the time, Jimmy took a detour to buy two steaks and some vegetables to cook dinner at home, but it seemed destined he wouldn't have a quiet night.

Forensic called urgently, reporting they brought back some evidence from the warehouse. Testing revealed a huge issue. Drug residues were detected on a brand-new sofa, and further inspection found the wooden frame of the sofa was partially hollow. There's nothing inside it currently, but the drug residue indicated it was originally meant to store drugs.

This was a problem. Jimmy heard from Louis that Marco's smuggling was only small luxuries like bags and perfumes, furniture wasn't supposed to be their smuggling item.

If it wasn't them, then the home decoration company was a major suspect. The company's large staff meant that Jimmy alone couldn't possibly do a thorough investigation.
