Chapter 231 Reinforcements Arrive
The setting sun slowly fell to the other side of the mountain, and the sky suddenly became dark.
Jimmy soothed the horse, which was snorting and paddling its hooves impatiently, and murmured:
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Bourne, and when did Miss Kate disappear?"
"But Rip said he believed in them, so they must be very strong and they will be fine."
As I was thinking this, a breeze blew by, making a rustling sound in the woods.
Jimmy jumped up as if his bottom was on fire, M1917 raised in his hand, staring at the dark woods without blinking.
"Don't shoot, Jimmy, it's me and Kate."
Bourne's familiar voice came from the woods.
"Mr. Bourne!"
Jimmy ran forward excitedly, but was startled by what Bourne and Kate were holding.
"Go help Kate. The two people there are dead. Drag the bodies to the foot of the mountain. The two of us are still alive. Don't move. Let's see what we can find out when we go back."
"Uh, okay."
Jimmy looked at the two bloody but still twisting bodies in Bourne's hands, and thought of the pile of minced meat on the lawn, and couldn't help feeling nauseous again.
Bourne didn't want to pay attention to him anymore as he was thinking about the conversation he had just had with Beth.
After breaking the arms and legs of the two captives and making sure they could not escape, Bourne asked Kate to watch while he climbed to the top of the hill.
Taking advantage of the one-bar signal on his cell phone, Bourne tried to call Beth.
Although it was a bit intermittent, communication was not a problem.
Bourne reported the situation here and found a group of criminals. He captured three people, beat two to death, and found several bodies of the victims.
Fortunately, there were no female victims, which meant that this group of criminals were not the real culprits who kidnapped Monica and the others; unfortunately, a search team at Yellowstone Manor was wiped out, and one person from Bourne's team was also missing.
Beth told Bourne that there were also discoveries at the reservation, and it seemed that traces of many people were found, but the place where the traces disappeared was an Indian forbidden area. Except on the date of sacrifice, no one was allowed to enter, especially the Indians, so the reservation was asking the state for help.
Beth also said that a car had been sent to Bourne's location, and that the state police and the FBI would be there, bringing police dogs and search equipment, and asked them to wait there patiently.
Originally, Bourne thought he would have to wait a long time, but he didn't expect that in less than half an hour, he heard car horns on the road.
There were five cars in total, four were police cars and one was a Ford Explorer.
This patrol vehicle, commonly used by the FBI, is equipped with rear-end reinforcements at the front and rear. It is an invaluable weapon whether it is for highway pursuit or intercepting fugitives. On this deserted mountain highway, this type of vehicle is even more useful.
as predicted.
Nine state troopers got out of four police cars. Bourne recognized the leader, whose name was Pex. His father was an old cowboy from Yellowstone Manor. It was Pex who came to the manor last night and took away Case's brother-in-law Robert.
Two people got out of the Ford Explorer. The leader was a blonde woman wearing a bulletproof vest with the FBI logo printed on it. Behind her was a fat man with disheveled hair, holding a tool box for collecting samples. He must be a forensic doctor.
"Hey, Bourne, I came here right away when I heard about you. How's it going?"
Pex came over first to greet Bourne.
As one of the representatives of Yellowstone Farm in the State Police, he knew some of Bourne's background. He was a top student studying law. His mother was a famous New York lawyer. He himself was also a senior supervisor of the New York FBI. He was related to the owner of Yellowstone Manor and was someone who could only be pleased and not offended.
"Very bad!" Bourne shook his head. "A team of four was dismembered inside!"
"We encountered an ambush when we came here. We killed two suspects and captured three..."
At this point, Bourne was interrupted by the woman from the FBI:
"Wait a minute, sir, you said that five people ambushed the three of you, two men and a girl (she glanced at Kate who was playing with her fingers in the back, she was petite and looked like an underage girl), and you killed two of them and captured three?"
"Yes!" Bourne answered expressionlessly. He knew what the woman really wanted to ask.
He was very calm, but Jimmy beside him couldn't help but yelled:
"Who are you suspecting? I'm telling you, the situation is more dangerous than you think. Those monsters were hiding in the woods, and they were all killed and captured by Mr. Bourne alone!"
"Haha!" the woman sneered.
"Madam" Bourne didn't want to waste time. There was no news from the Indians yet. If they could find clues first, Monica's chances of survival would be greater. He knew how much Keith loved his wife. In order to marry Monica, who was of Indian descent, he did not hesitate to leave the Dutton family and move to the reservation.
Although there is no such term as "live-in son-in-law" in the United States, there are many people who do this.
But that was because the woman's family had great power and influence, and the man did this in order to further develop. For example, Mr. Terminator in the previous life became governor with the power of the Kennedy family.
Cases like Case, where the youngest son of a farmer thousands of kilometers away goes to live with his wife in the reservation, are extremely rare!
"Jane Banner, you can call me Agent Banner." The woman said seriously.
Walking in front of the car, Bourne was able to see the FBI agent's appearance clearly under the help of the car lights: delicate facial features, blond hair, and a good figure that could not be hidden even by the loose uniform.
"Hello, Agent Banner, you can call me Mr. Bourne, or--."
Bourne stretched out his voice and held his ID in front of the woman: "Supervisor."
Jane widened her lake green eyes and looked at the document in disbelief. It clearly stated:
"Bern Lee, Level 3 Supervisor of the FBI New York Branch."
"Sorry, sir," Jane said hesitantly. She didn't expect that her first kick would hit a wall.
Bourne waved his hand and said to Pex:
"Sheriff, please drive the police car with the searchlight to the entrance of the valley. The crime scene is in the center of the valley."
He glanced at everyone present and said solemnly: "Be prepared, the scene is very tragic."
A moment later, except for Bourne and Kate, everyone ran back to the roadside at the entrance of the valley and started vomiting violently, including Jimmy, who had vomited twice.
It was the female FBI agent named Jane who recovered first. Her face turned pale and her lips trembled a little, but she still came to Bourne and said:
"Captain Bourne, what should we do next?"
Bourne gave her a strange look. Jane, of course, understood what he meant and explained, "I'm sorry, everyone in the bureau has rushed to the reservation, where they say dozens of bodies were found, both human and livestock.
I just joined the company this year. The bureau just couldn't spare any people, so they sent me here. I'm not very familiar with these procedures yet.
But don't worry, I will follow your arrangements!"
Bourne asked, "How's your shooting?"
Jane: "My shooting level was A+ in the assessment."
"What about physical fitness?"
"1.5 kilometers in 12 minutes and 20 seconds."
Bourne nodded and said, "This group of people are carrying out the massacre here, which means their lair is not far from here, it should be in this area. I plan to take people up the mountain to take a look, maybe we can find some clues."
He looked at Pex who was still wiping the dirt from the corner of his mouth and ordered, "Sheriff, please bring the police dog down from the car. It's dark now, and the police dog will be more useful."
"Okay, Mr. Bourne, you need a few officers to follow you. Should I call for backup from the state?"
"No, Chief Pecks, it's very dangerous to go up the mountain at night. You and the other officers stay here and work with the medical examiner to sort out the scene. I and my men will go up, as will Detective Jane."
Seeing that Pex wanted to say something else, Bourne interrupted him and said, "Let's go now without further delay."
He pointed at the three prisoners who were tied up tightly on the ground and said, "Don't move these three people. Don't take off the sacks on their heads. Arrange two people to watch them. If they move unusually, kill them on the spot."
As he spoke, he took the chain for the police dog from the police officer, handed it to Kate, and turned to Jane and said, "Are there night vision goggles in the car? Take two pairs. Also take some strong flashlights and incendiary sticks. Put on your bulletproof vests, and we'll set off when you're ready."
