Jimmy replayed the process of him entering the factory in his mind over and over, not missing out on any detail, starting from his entry to the factory, hearing a sound, entering the building, discovering the suspect, firing his gun, Sam coming in and firing, heading off to the side to flank the suspect, and firing his gun. He endlessly replayed the whole process in his mind until he finally figured out under what circumstances that mysterious feeling was triggered.

The first time it happened was when he was hiding with his back to the suspect, and his eyes caught sight of the suspect's gun. He fired and then ducked for cover again. It was only when he had this premonition that he was able to quickly spot the tiny target of the gun barrel and then shoot.

The second occurrence was right before he killed the suspect when he had switched to a revolver and had already learned the suspect's approximate location. His mind was highly focused, and he closed his eyes, envisioning the scene's perspective structure in his mind.

The first time must have been something akin to a Sixth Sense; many people have had such experiences—a sudden jolt followed by swiftly avoiding danger. He didn't want to dwell on that because it didn't seem to have any reference value.

The important thing was the feeling that came to him the second time. It involved focusing his mind on building a spatial construct, followed by a perception of depth which helped pinpoint the location and outline of the suspect behind an object. Then there was the act of aiming the gun—without using his eyes for assistance but completely relying on the mental spatial construct to direct his arm to the suspect's location before firing the fatal shot.

Now there were two uncertain conditions, one, whether he needed to keep his eyes closed, and two, whether he had to use a revolver.

Because the first time he dodged the suspect's attack, his eyes were open, and he was using a 92F pistol, there was no basis for comparison. Further experimentation was needed.

This ability could definitely be called a divine police skill. When confronting suspects, the police are generally in a passive position, with the suspects potentially hiding anywhere, while the police could easily be within the suspects' shooting range. If a policeman is searching for a suspect in a room, it's also easy to get ambushed. Having the ability to directly locate the suspect's position would allow them to take the initiative.

Then there was the accuracy, the six rounds from the revolver mostly hit the head and neck, even though they had to go through wooden boxes, which was impressively precise.

As Jimmy pondered this ability, he suddenly realized that it seemed like the sort of Golden Finger found in novels. He had thought that his reincarnation was just to re-experience life. He hadn't noticed anything unusual for months, but now it seemed that his life had been too comfortable during the past few months. It wasn't until he faced the extreme pressure of a gunfight that his spiritual power highly concentrated and triggered the Heart Eye Golden Finger. He had come back with a bonus life, but it was unclear whether the bonus was his own or if the original owner of the body had it.

The uncertainty made his own adaptation to revolvers the most suspicious aspect. In his previous life, he wasn't into guns—the most he had played with were water guns, if you could count fire hoses as water guns.

The newly discovered Heart Eye Ability might be related to the soul, but his aptitude for revolvers was clearly a physical issue, so it couldn't have been something he brought from his past life. He had no recollection of the original owner's experiences and did not inherit their memories, so there was a possibility that the original owner had some inherent firearm ability.

With the boost from the Golden Finger, Jimmy suddenly felt a little inflated. His initial plan to live a simple life as a policeman now seemed like he could achieve much more than his initial plans.

Besides, if Frank Moses turned out to be the kind of man he suspected, there would definitely be trouble eventually, and he would have enough skill to protect himself or even take further action to solve problems.

Jimmy's administrative leave lasted only two days before it ended, with Chief James calling him to the station.

At the station, Jimmy met the Ministry of Internal Affairs colleague he had seen last time. The colleague who had been very stern during their last meeting appeared much more amiable today.

"Jimmy, the investigation has come to a temporary halt, and there are preliminary results regarding your shooting of the suspect."

After a joint investigation by the police department, Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Prosecutor's Office of Plaskey County, with the arrest record provided by Sam, the Chief of Police of Adi Town, it was confirmed that Sam had already engaged in a shootout with the suspect before you entered the factory."

Given that you were facing a highly dangerous armed criminal and responded with equal force, your actions in firing the gun were legal, and the killing of the suspect was lawful. You also handed over your weapon voluntarily after the shooting and awaited police processing, which is in line with police procedures.

Based on the above conclusions, I'm formally notifying you that your administrative leave is over, and you can come back to work tomorrow. Now, sign this report."

After finishing up, the Ministry of Internal Affairs colleague handed the investigative report to Jimmy to sign. Once Jimmy signed, the colleague left as the report needed to be submitted to the Prosecutor's Office for archiving.

The investigation into the shooting case would not be concluded so quickly; the Prosecutor's Office would continue to examine the case further. Nevertheless, considering the practical situation of the county police—short-staffed and severely affected by extended administrative leaves—once there were preliminary investigative opinions, an officer could be reinstated to resume duty.

After leaving the Chief's office, Jimmy headed straight to the evidence room where his revolver was still sealed. Retrieving his revolver, bullets, and speedloader, Jimmy was quite happy as he donned the shoulder holster in the break room before heading home directly.

Jimmy bought some groceries on the way home to cook for himself as a celebration of ending his leave. Constant fast food, hamburgers, and pizzas had become tiresome.

In a few months, Jimmy's weight had increased from 60-something kilograms during his vagrant days to over 80 kilograms, making him appear sturdy but not yet overweight. However, he needed to be careful since as a Patrol Officer, he spent most of his time driving and often eating high-fat, high-sugar fast food, starting to show signs of weight gain like other police officers.

Taking advantage of the little rest time left, Jimmy went to the shooting range to confirm whether his 'Golden Finger' was as he suspected.

First was his 'Heart Eye'; with his eyes closed, he could locate targets and the surrounding environment, including distance, any barriers, and their spatial positions, as if he had conducted an ultrasonic scan, precisely pinpointing content beyond his line of sight within a range of about ten meters. The only disappointment was that the images formed in this 'Heart Eye' state were all in shades of black and gray, lacking the colorfulness of direct vision.

Jimmy tested shooting while using his 'Heart Eye' ability, and the result was excellent, all six shots hit.

Next, he practiced reloading the revolver quickly. With the 'Golden Finger', Jimmy paid particular attention to his movements. He was adept at unloading and loading the revolver. If he used a speedloader, he could fire a round in 3 seconds, completing two rounds of 12 shots within 8 seconds while aiming at the target. If it was just emptying the speedloader, then he could do it in less than 2 seconds. Such speed was beyond the reach of a beginner.

So far, it seemed he possessed two abilities: one was the 'Heart Eye' brought by his soul, equivalent to an X-ray vision that analyzed spatial localization of targets; and the other was the muscle memory of handling a revolver that his body brought, enabling him to reload and shoot quickly with a high accuracy rate.
