North America Gunman Detective

Chapter 1300 - 709: The Boise Massacre

Jimmy and Hope, after confirming their identities, asked the nurse to check if the girl had any more issues. Only after confirming everything was okay, did they allow her to leave. Those unrelated to the upcoming interrogation should not stay.

The girl was quite cooperative, especially after learning that it was Hope who discovered she was kidnapped by two people and rescued her.

The girl's name was Amy Robinson, from Arizona, a border state in the southwestern United States, between California and New Mexico. She was a photography enthusiast and traveled to Horseshoe Bay near the Arizona-Utah border with her classmate Martin to shoot pictures of the giant rocks there.

For American teenagers, traveling with classmates or friends is very normal. They informed their families about their destination. In terms of safety, a well-known tourist spot like Horseshoe Bay is much better than wild hiking tours, so their family didn't stop them or accompany them.

Everything was normal for the first few days of the trip, but just when they were about to head back, Amy was kidnapped. Initially, she was locked in a basement, then later brought here.

As an FBI agent responsible for rescuing Amy, Hope naturally gained her favor. Thus, he conducted the questioning while Jimmy listened for a while before leaving the ward, calling over a nearby nurse to inquire who the examination doctors and nurses were, and confirmed the examination items and results.

As expected, there were no surprises; Amy had indeed been subjected to abnormal activities recently, with several abrasions and restraint marks on her body. Fortunately, she wasn't greatly abused, and the duration was short. So, her current state, though poor, would recover with simple care over time.

Jimmy returned to the ward and nodded to Hope, who put away his notebook, reassured Amy, and then left the ward with Jimmy.

From the car, Hope took out his laptop to check Amy's identity information on the spot in the hospital. After confirming the accuracy of the information she provided, he checked the time, took out his phone, and dialed the family number Amy provided to inform them that they could arrive at the hospital by tomorrow afternoon.

Amy's family was devastated after her disappearance, searching at the location for nearly two weeks. They finally received a call from the FBI, learning Amy was rescued and was far away in Missouri from Arizona. They were so excited that they repeatedly thanked Hope on the phone. Hope ended the call and sat staring at the computer screen in a daze.

The next day, agents from the Saint Louis office and the forensic department arrived. They took over the cabin and the suspect's escape vehicle directly from the police, then two agents went to the hospital to find Hope and Jimmy.

In their eyes, Hope, being a senior agent from headquarters, was naturally the leader of the group, so they directly approached Hope for an understanding of the situation, using their computers and fingerprint devices to collect live suspect fingerprint information to confirm his identity and other details.

This wasn't about taking credit from Jimmy; rather, since Jimmy and his team couldn't get a confession or fingerprint confirmation from the suspect and didn't bring fingerprint recognition devices, it was too troublesome to go to the police station, so they asked the Saint Louis office to bring one over.

Though the crime wasn't committed by a local, the Saint Louis office, within whose jurisdiction the girl's brutal detention case took place, needed to assert presence. Hope and Jimmy understood this situation, so they didn't interfere much with the other party's involvement, even entrusted the victim Amy's family liaison to the Saint Louis office.

As local experts, borrowing some office space from the police was no problem. After confirming the suspect's gunshot wound was okay, they transferred the person to the detention room inside the police station.

Once the suspect's identity was confirmed, things became much simpler. The interrogation lasted just one day to obtain the intelligence Jimmy and his team needed.

The deceased guy was a local from Kalin City, mixed in some gang like Hammer, neither a leader but just a low-level thug. The alive person was more interesting; he was from Utah, drove the girl here this time. Previously, he was also a street thug in Utah, shipping people for money.

The car had a Utah license plate, which matched the vehicle, but the owner wasn't him, rather someone else local to Utah, thus becoming one of the investigation directions for Jimmy and his team.

To ensure the safety of long-distance transport, using fake license plates could easily attract state police attention on highways, so a regular vehicle was still better.

The deceased thug contacted him upon arrival in Kalin City, as he wasn't aware of the detention location and needed the other party to lead him over, thus they came to the cabin together. After locking the girl in, they left, having prepared water and food in advance, temporarily causing no issues.

A cash amount similar to what Jimmy's team found in the backpack earlier was retrieved from the guy, suggesting that the food and water in the bag were prepared for the detained girl, while the money was for the driver bringing the person over.
