North America Gunman Detective

Chapter 1305 - 710: Betraying Their Own (Part 3)

This was also something Peter had mentioned before, Jimmy emphasized to Peter that they needed someone who could write reports. Peter, of course, understood what Jimmy meant, so all the reports during their investigation were completed by Hope, allowing Jimmy to rest easily.

For Hope, writing reports was also a good way to sort through Jimmy's case processing, as well as some operations that seemed almost miraculous to him. This gave Hope the feeling that he was back at Quantico, especially when he learned that Jimmy could even return to Quantico as an instructor, and that the cases he handled could be included in agent textbooks. This is definitely a genius-level person.

This time, Jimmy's request was quite difficult to handle. After all, convincing Hammer to dig his own pit and to bet that Jimmy and the others could arrange a deal with the Federation prosecutor was something anyone else would absolutely refuse to do. The current charges alone were enough to have him spend the rest of his life in prison.

Fortunately, after a cordial conversation with Jimmy, Hammer finally spoke up. This kidnapping gang of theirs had basically been obliterated by Jimmy this time. In fact, they gathered this time just to end their activities for a while, disperse, and take some rest.

They don't do this year-round. Each operation lasts a few weeks to a month, committing a few crimes to earn money, then laying low for a while until things calmed down before acting again. So every year, Hammer would leave Kalin City a few times, each time very carefully changing to unregistered phones before contacting everyone to ensure his whereabouts remained safe.

This time, his mistake was getting to know a widow with a child. Maybe age got to him, and he actually developed the impulse to be with Emily. This operation was to make money to plan for his future life.

These people don't only conduct this one business. Kidnapping and human trafficking were their collective ventures, but outside of that, others had other businesses, like distributing illegal drugs. In a desolate place like Utah, they've been doing this for years without getting caught.

To make his future life a bit better, Hammer decisively sold out the others, especially the owner of the bar, who was actually a bartender. He's just a small dealer in Boise City, using the geographic advantage of being close to Arizona to collaborate with others in selling illegal drugs.

Hammer certainly wouldn't admit to kidnapping more people, but the clues he confessed were enough for Jimmy and the others to gain some more results.

Jimmy was very dissatisfied with this result, but Hammer stubbornly refused to confess the location where they held the kidnapped girls or provide information on their recent kidnappings, which was very troubling.

Jimmy pondered for a moment and then exchanged ideas with the other two groups of interrogators in Salt Lake City. He directly confronted the bartender in the bar with the clues provided by Hammer.

The evidence provided by their internal personnel was enough to destroy his will to resist. Jimmy and the others finally extracted an address from this man, located in the outskirts of Boise City, in an abandoned factory. There was an underground warehouse there, which they had converted to detain kidnapped individuals. It was quiet enough, and no one would go there—they had used it for a long time.

Indeed, betraying teammates is something they have to do themselves. Didn't they smoothly get the result they wanted? Jimmy and his team immediately set off towards the factory, and finally found the entrance to the underground warehouse in one of the rooms, rescuing the last girl who hadn't been transported out.

The place was a mess, with plenty of bloodstains. It seemed like a lot of very bad things had happened there. Jimmy and his team sent the girl to the hospital for a check-up, leaving the scene for the forensic department to extract relevant information.
