North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 321 Was it calculated?

Jimmy didn't wait for the case arranged by Chris, and he didn't go to Chris to remind him. It just happened that something was bothering him now. Forget it, go back and think about it.

Jimmy went to Ruiz again in the afternoon, and came back with the T14 file. It is known that they have two fixed warehouses, but it is not yet confirmed whether they are poisonous or normal goods. Their shipments did not decrease because they swept an empty warehouse last time, and they still maintained normal shipments.

As for the stronghold of T14, this must have been clarified. The other is a residence that is suspected to be Scar, which is in the middle-class gathering area of ​​Baishi Town, Queens District. No specific building was located.

As for the personnel, there are not many senior members in T14, about ten or so. These people are usually scattered everywhere, and only three people follow Scar with their younger brother. The place where they gather still has the characteristics of gangsters, the underground bar.

Speaking of it, gangsters really like to run bars. Some are regular bars, and they open up space in the back, and some are simply underground bars, which are only available to people around them. The customers are basically people on the road or around. people.

Jimmy hung a map on the whiteboard, pinned the locations on it with thumbtacks, and scratched his head looking at the files.

T14 has never been well-known. They really know how to survive for a long time. The more famous gangsters are, the more they will be targeted. Therefore, although their shipments are large, they have always only done transit commissions, not Interfere in the business of other gangs, so no one will come to trouble them, but will try to cover them up for them.If the undercover agent hadn't gotten the news by accident, he would never have thought that such a small gang with only a few dozen people would turn out to be a drug artery entering New York.

Their organization is still very strict. Being able to be such a transit business is still hidden so deeply. There must be strong discipline to prevent these subordinates from leaking in front of others.From the map, their base of activity is in the Bronx, but the two known warehouses are in Brooklyn and the other in Manhattan, and Scar's residence is actually in Queens. This group of people is very thoughtful.

The biggest problem is that they are scattered in various districts. Once there is a problem in one point, other places may disappear quickly after getting the news.Moreover, the warehouse is too far away from their base of activity. If they can't get all the stolen goods, it will be difficult to have direct evidence to arrest them.

After get off work, Jimmy drove home and took out two vacuum-packed steaks from the refrigerator and threw them into the sink to defrost. I don't know if I can go to get off work normally every day.Throwing the vacuum-packed steak into the freezer will lose its taste, but at least it can be sure that it will be eaten as long as it takes some time to thaw.

Taking advantage of the time of thawing, Jimmy opened his safe and looked at a gold coin lying alone inside. Jimmy smacked his mouth. If he was richer, maybe Ruiz's matter would be simple. Let someone else do it. To deal with it is to leave an unsolved case at most, which is nothing more than one more file that no one will read again, so you can save your worry.

If this road doesn't work, we still have to think about the formal way.

The next morning, Jimmy went back to the office, didn't go to his place, but went directly to Ruiz's office and sat down.

When Ruiz arrived, Jimmy dragged Ruiz downstairs again. The two smoked in a remote place. Jimmy asked, "Do you have any gangsters you know? Those who can cooperate with us."

Ruiz shook his head, "Don't think about it, Jimmy, the bottom line is still important, don't cross the line."

Jimmy wanted to say more, but Ruiz waved his hand directly, "Okay, stop talking, Jimmy, you have to remember that you are an FBI agent, not a gangster. We can deal with it within the rules, even fishing law enforcement, but , must not cross that line. Let’s put this matter aside for now, don’t worry, I’ve calmed down.”

Jimmy looked at Ruiz, his face was expressionless, and he didn't look like he had calmed down and put the matter on hold.

Jimmy: "Okay, then let me think about how to operate legally and reasonably."

In fact, the biggest problem is that Jimmy does not belong to the organized crime investigation team now. If he is in the Ruiz team, it will be like the last time in the MS13 stronghold. Although it is tragic, it is completely legal and reasonable. , as long as they do it, the rest is to shake people to sweep the floor.

Unfortunately, the current situation is that this cannot be done, unless Hughes transfers himself back to Ruiz.

"Ruiz, you should ask Hughes first to see if you can let me go back to your group. If so, there is no problem." Jimmy threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on it. Looking at Ruiz, Ruiz nodded. He was only thinking of Jimmy before, and his mind hadn't turned the corner. Now it's time to do something.

Ruiz didn't delay either. He went back to the office to check the schedule and morning tasks, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he came to Hughes' office.

"Hughes, are you busy?" Ruiz knocked on the door and walked into Hughes' office.

Hughes: "Ruiz, what's the matter?"

Ruiz: "I want to apply with you to transfer Jimmy. You know the situation I'm facing here. There are too many gangsters here. It's more convenient to have him here."

Hughes: "Ruiz, I think you should know what happened last time. There are many people who have opinions?"

Ruiz nodded, and Hughes continued: "I can't put him on your side, it's too easy to get out of control, and once an uncontrollable event occurs, it's easy to be used by them."

Ruiz is also not reconciled: "But with him, he can definitely suppress a lot of people, make them sober and quiet."

Hughes shook his head: "I know what you mean, but Jimmy is different from you and me. You should have read his psychological intervention report, right? Many times it is not a question of whether he wants to stop, but whether he will overdo it." The issue of the use of force. I put him in the homicide squad to avoid that, and the homicide squad is probably the one with the fewest cases here, not even the bank robbery squad."

Ruiz: "We can't limit ourselves like this. To deal with the mafia and gangsters, our ordinary detectives simply can't form such a suppressive ability. You know that since the last incident, I have handled many cases with ease. , especially since they knew I was there."

Hughes nodded, "Of course I know, but if something like this happens again, it will be easy to be targeted. What if, I mean, what if Jimmy is directly transferred? Even further, he is directly transferred Fired? Or sued for abuse of force?
Do you think I don't know which group is the most suitable for Jimmy?I have to protect him, this is a good seedling, I can't let him be crushed before he grows up. "

Ruiz gritted his teeth and sighed: "Damn OPR, they must be playing tricks."

Hughes immediately interrupted Ruiz: "Don't guess casually, they also conduct investigations according to the norms. I will find a way to let Jimmy get in touch with as many other aspects as possible, hoping to learn more about different types of cases and people Let him mature as soon as possible. Hey, he's still too young."

Ruiz nodded, said goodbye to Hughes, and left his office.In the end, I still failed to achieve my goal, but I understood why Jimmy was moved back and forth, which can be regarded as some gains, but these contents must not be shared with Jimmy.Ruiz returned to the office while thinking about his own affairs. It seems that T14 still has to deal with it by himself.

Jimmy returned to his seat, and Chris handed him a case, "Jimmy, the case you want is here. This is a case that NYPD is handling, and you can participate in it."

Jimmy had a question mark on his face: "What's the situation? Why are you working with NYPD on a case?"

Chris: "There are no serial murders here recently. If you don't want to cooperate with them, why don't you go to other groups to learn?"

Jimmy looks at Chris, he seems to have a smile on his face, what does that look mean?There is a conspiracy?Or do you simply want to spend some time elsewhere?
Jimmy: "Let me look at the case first."

In the Chelsea district of Midtown Manhattan, which is Hell’s Kitchen, a single mother named Heather lives alone with her 7-year-old daughter. She works in a domestic company.One day a week ago, after leaving home to send her daughter to school in the morning, she did not pick her up in the afternoon. After the teacher at her daughter's school could not contact her, she immediately called the police, hoping that the police could go to Heather's home to check the situation.

However, when the patrol arrived at Heather's semi-basement apartment, there was no one in her home.After knocking on the door and no one answered, the patrolman reported the situation, and finally chose to kick open the door and enter the house for inspection. However, the situation at home showed that Heather had not returned home.

So far, the case of Heather's disappearance has been officially filed. The police investigated Heather's family situation. Unfortunately, she has no registered relatives, only a 7-year-old daughter, and the daughter's father is unknown.According to Heather's information, the police arrived at the housekeeping company to investigate whether Heather was at work that day and whether she had arranged other work.

After sending her daughter to school in the morning, Heather arrived at the housekeeping company. She had a driver's license and drove a small van in the company. She took two colleagues to the client's house to clean up. Because there was a party the night before, the cleaners needed were more many.

After the cleaning was complete, Heather drove back to the office, then left and never returned.

The NYPD called road cameras next to the housekeeping company, but couldn't find where she disappeared. NYPD has conducted several inspections on relevant road sections, but nothing special has been found. Heather seemed to disappear suddenly and never appeared again.

Jimmy looked up at Chris: "This is an ordinary disappearance case, why is it in our homicide squad?"

Chris: "We don't have a case here now, you can go to the scene of this case to investigate, just as an exercise. See if you can find any clues."

Jimmy looked down at the file and felt a bit of a toothache. I don't know why, but I always feel that Chris is a bit abnormal. Even if we don't have a murder case, we can find a similar case. This kind of disappearance case has been investigated by NYPD several times. Case, where to find clues.

Putting the case on the table, Jimmy also gave up. He didn't quite believe that he could find clues that other police officers failed to find from the scene that had been swept several times.Anyway, Chris didn't stipulate that this case must be carried out, so let's look at other things first.

"Dingling" Chris's phone rang. After he answered the phone, he called Jimmy and came to Hughes' office together.

Hughes looked at them and asked Chris, "Chris, are there any urgent cases being dealt with recently?"

Chris shook his head: "There is no urgent case, do you have any case here to deal with?"

Hughes: "Well, the DC headquarters received an application for assistance from the Secret Service. The vice president will hold a banquet in Chicago these days. Someone is trying to plan an attack on the vice president. They have contacted the Chicago office. If your side If the case is not urgent, Jimmy, would you be interested in working with the Secret Service again?"

Jimmy blinked, did he show his feet somewhere?Or did the FBI's DC headquarters receive any news?Why is it me?
Jimmy asked: "Didn't they already contact the Chicago office? Why do you need our support?"

Hughes shook his head: "I won it for you. It's good for you to get in touch with other businesses. How about it? Do you want to go there?"

Jimmy immediately stood at attention: "I obey the leader's arrangement."

Hughes: "Well, you go back and pack up, report to the Chicago office tomorrow, and work with them to cooperate with the Secret Service."

Jimmy: "Okay, is there any other arrangements?"

Hughes: "No, go ahead. Chris, you wait."

Jimmy turned and left Hughes' office. Hughes waved. He and Chris came to the window and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Jimmy?"

Chris: "What? You don't want him to change departments again, do you?"

Hughes: "I know you don't have a case now. It's no problem for such a person to hang out for a few days, but it's definitely not good for a long time. It's easy to give up people."

Chris: "You are really caring, you are so optimistic about him?"

Hughes: "Yeah, don't you find that he looks like a person?"

Chris: "You mean Peter?"

Hughes nodded: "Well, except that he is more violent than Peter. Just like Peter back then, he is young and passionate, principled and flexible at the same time, can get along with anyone, and has outstanding ability to handle cases. If I hadn't insisted, Lambert of Dallas I don't even want to give it back to me, that bastard, he discovered his characteristics in just one month."

Chris: "But he can't go to a high position. Hughes, don't you think you are thinking too early?"

Hughes: "Who can say in the future? At that time, it will not be something we have to worry about."
