North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 438
Jimmy had been observing Bourne. He rummaged through Watson's office, picked up the phone, hung up after a while, and then squatted down to open the safe under the cabinet behind.Jimmy has seen this safe before, and he has been to Watson's office not once or twice, and scanned all the objects in the office without Watson noticing at all.

Bourne took something out of the safe, put it in his backpack, turned and left Watson's office.

"Bang bang" two gunshots, Jimmy turned his attention to the sight, the gunshot just now came from the direction of the command center, Jimmy saw a person rushing towards the glass door, the gunshot just now should have been fired at the glass, looking at the figure Breaking the glass out, Jimmy found out that it was Kerry.

Kerry ran straight to Watson's office, quickly picked up his mobile phone and dialed out, followed by the chaos in the building, with many people running from downstairs to upstairs, and went downstairs directly from the fire stairs before the elevator , Jimmy can't see it any further down.

Although he couldn't see it, Jimmy could guess their response.

The current situation should be that the safe was opened, triggering a certain mechanism, letting Watson know that someone had entered his office, and then arranged for Kerry to check.Kerry found that the office safe was opened and the contents were gone, so he naturally called Watson to inform him, and then began to arrange for everyone to block the building, even blocking the surrounding blocks.

The Anti-Terrorism Agency is nominally part of the DHS Department of Homeland Security. It is not a problem to temporarily block a block. Jimmy is not surprised, but they are obviously going to fail, because Byrne has already run away when Kerry ran to Watson's office , With this time difference, it was enough for him to leave the building and run outside.

Jimmy didn't take the initiative to get up and come out. Now the building is almost empty, only the people in the command center and a few people in some offices are left.If he came forward now, nine times out of ten he would be asked to assist them in handling it.

Obviously, this is an internal matter of the CIA. Jimmy waited in the office for a long time, but he didn't receive a call, and no one came to him. It seems that Watson thinks this is their CIA's business, and there is no need for Jimmy, the FBI, to intervene, so Jimmy I can only watch them busy in the command center with my heart.

The busiest one was obviously Kerry who was the only one standing. Although Jimmy could only guess from his size, Kerry should be the only one with the commanding authority on the scene.

After waiting for a while, before noon, Mahone called first and asked about Jimmy's situation.He didn't go to work normally today, and Ma Hong didn't see anyone until noon, so he had to call to confirm, if there was another attack or something, then this day would not end, and he had to be ruthless.

Fortunately, knowing that Jimmy was arranged by Hughes to deal with some matters, although it is a little disrespectful to bypass Mahone, he can also understand that people like Jimmy definitely occupy a place in Hughes' heart, and they can be accepted by Hughes. He must be the one to arrange tasks like this.

When it was lunch time, Jimmy didn't go downstairs to eat lunch, and waited in the conference room. Except for going to the bathroom, he never left the conference room.

Hughes' call still came, and there was no news from Jimmy for the whole morning. Even the calm Hughes was a little worried about Jimmy's situation. After learning about Watson's side, there was an urgent matter to leave, and Jimmy had been waiting in the conference room. After waiting for a long time, Hughes didn't say anything, and asked Jimmy to wait patiently.

Well, Jimmy was also muttering in his heart. The note Hughes gave was a phone number, which he had already memorized. Now the biggest question is, whose number is it that makes Hughes so nervous? He handles it.

Jimmy believed that Hughes wanted to keep it secret, so he did not investigate with the FBI. Because the Anti-Terrorist Bureau can access the NSA, the National Security Agency, so theoretically speaking, the Anti-Terrorist Bureau is the easiest to investigate the complete The data is out of place.

I don't know what kind of taboo this person has committed against Hughes. Let him be targeted like this. Maybe Hughes will find himself to deal with something later. After all, he is already an old man. It is necessary to arrange action personnel.

After waiting for a while, Jimmy went downstairs to find a roadside food truck to get lunch and came back quickly. He didn't know what was going on with Watson, but Jimmy hadn't heard from them anyway.

Until the evening, Jimmy finally waited for Watson to come back, but it seemed that Watson was in a bad mood. He probably ran away again because he missed it.

Seeing Watson return to the office, Jimmy got up and left the conference room, heading for Watson's office.The office was invaded, and Watson had to be given some time to tidy up. By the time Jimmy came outside Watson's office, Watson was already sitting on a chair.

"Dong dong" Jimmy knocked on the door, Watson looked up and greeted him into the office, "Please come in."

Watson: "Jimmy, are you still there? What's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Director Watson, Director Hughes asked me to come to you, and he said he already told you."

Watson froze for a moment, then nodded in response, Jimmy took the note out of his pocket and put it on Watson's desk.

Jimmy: "Director Watson, Director Hughes wants me to go back with the documents."

Something was obviously wrong with Watson, and he was in a very bad mood, but he took a deep breath, nodded, picked up the landline and called Kerry over.

Watson: "Kerry, look into this number and give him the information."

Kerry nodded, and greeted Jimmy to leave Watson's office and go to the command center.

On the way, Jimmy asked casually, "Kerry, what happened today?"

Kerry shook his head: "I can't say."

The command center is still full of staff. In fact, the anti-terrorist bureau’s command center is open 24 hours a day, and there are always people working in shifts. Therefore, it will not happen that they come to the command center and find that no one can operate the system for investigation.

The mobile phone number was handed over to them, and the corresponding call records and location information were quickly retrieved from the system.Jimmy was a little numb when he saw the location of the phone displayed on the monitor. He thought that the person Hughes was looking for should be in New York, which would be easy to deal with, but the signal showed that he was actually in Albany.

The mobile phone number is an anonymous number, and there is no way to confirm the corresponding identity, but with the call records and address, it can be regarded as achieving the goal. Kerry arranged for someone to save the latest call records for Jimmy on a USB flash drive, and Jimmy took it and thanked him and left. , and also asked Kerry to help him talk to Director Watson individually.

Although it was night, Jimmy didn't continue to wait. He drove directly to Hughes' home and gave Hughes the USB flash drive in the study.

Hughes: "What's going on today? You've been in the Counter Terrorism Bureau all day?"

Jimmy: "I don't know what happened to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau today. When I arrived in the morning, they had already dispatched all of them. Watson had already set off, leaving only Kerry and the people in the command center.

And a very weird thing happened, it seemed that the Anti-Terrorist Bureau was invaded and something should be lost, but no one told me what happened, I waited in the conference room all day, and Watson didn't come back until night. "

Hughes frowned and considered for a while and shook his head, "There was no special terrorist attack today, no bombings, no mass shootings. The Anti-Terrorism Bureau shouldn't have such a reaction."

He picked up the USB flash drive and turned on the computer, "Jimmy, wait for me outside first."

It seems that Hughes wants to keep these call records all to himself. Jimmy shrugged and came to the living room. Hughes' wife poured him a glass of ice water. The two sat on the sofa chatting and watching boring TV series.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Jimmy has come to Hughes' home. He has been in New York for more than two years, and it is the first time he has come to the boss's house, so he has successfully entered his small circle.

After listening to some call records, Hughes came out and beckoned Jimmy to the study.

Hughes unplugged the USB drive from the computer, "Jimmy, now let me tell you something about your being investigated by the OPR, being attacked and the inner ghost."

Jimmy immediately sat up straight. A lot of his brain cells have really died in the recent period. Since he was attacked, it was too much to say that they were headless chickens, but there was indeed very little information at the time, so he could only guess by himself After investigating one possibility, it turned out that there was a wrong direction in the end, and a gang attack was turned into a follow-up to the bombing attack.

Hughes told Jimmy what he knew, including the behind-the-scenes factors mentioned by the intermediary Thomas.

Hughes: "This time DC's OPR team investigated the insider and his contacts, and the initial report given to me was very unreliable. Derek is also an experienced old detective, and only one contact person who knows nothing is It was impossible to bribe him, but he never revealed who the person behind the scenes was, and only confessed to a contact person.

The contact person, Pete Chambers, has been refusing to provide information, only providing an anonymous call, saying that he has no idea who is on the other end of the line, which is completely fooling people.As a middleman, he couldn't possibly do something like this without knowing one side at all, so he must be lying.

The biggest problem lies in DC's OPR, their interrogation is definitely problematic, and the possibility that they also have ghosts is not ruled out, they are already unreliable. "

Jimmy crossed his hands and gradually exerted force on his hands. There are still few sources of information. If they had known about these behind-the-scenes stories, how could they have wasted so many days? Although Hughes added the attributive possible and certain possibility, but for Hughes to say it, it means that he has believed in his own conjecture.

Hughes: "There are two more things. First, Thomas, the middleman who contacted me, disappeared. I found someone to investigate, but I haven't found any clues yet. I suspect that something has happened. His family has called the police, but the police investigation found nothing. result.

Second, the person who contacted Thomas to find me was Josh, who is said to be from Councilor Blair, but my people did not find this person, but got a mobile phone number from a private channel, asking you to go to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau to investigate of this. "

Jimmy: "I don't know much about politicians, who is this MP for Blair?"

Hughes shook his head: "Senator Blair is a senior senator, this incident should have nothing to do with him, you don't have to think about him.

The key is to find that Josh. Thomas must have been confused by him this time. When he contacted me to deal with the corpse, Josh arranged for someone to initiate an OPR investigation against you. The subsequent attacks should also be related to him. , but no clues have yet been found to link them. "

Jimmy nodded, "I see."

Hughes: "OK, that's about it. Before Josh is found, the attack case can only be suspended for a while. Don't spend too much time on it, and deal with other cases."

Jimmy: "Hughes, can I have a copy of the recording?"

Hughes: "I have already arranged for someone to investigate his identity, so there is no need for you to intervene."

Jimmy: "I won't do anything, Hughes, believe me, if I'm going to investigate, I will definitely tell you in advance."

Hughes thought for a while, copied the recording to the computer, and returned the USB drive to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Anything else?"

Hughes shook his head, Jimmy: "Then I'll go back first, good night, Hughes."

-

Jimmy drove away from Hughes' house. This time, things were a bit troublesome. He still needs to think about it carefully and smooth out the twists and turns inside. There are too many things happening these days, and he needs to sort it out before he can understand the time here. How are the lines arranged.

And Ruiz, as Hughes said just now, during this time Ruiz has been dealing with the inner ghost. It can be said that besides Hughes, Ruiz has been involved the most.

Seeing that it wasn't too late, Jimmy called Ruiz while driving and asked him out for a drink.

Jimmy has never done this kind of impromptu phone call to have a drink. Fortunately, Ruiz doesn't seem to be at home, and the background sound can be heard on the phone, which is still a bit noisy. It shouldn't be a problem to turn around big.Ruiz didn't refuse either, but Jimmy had to wait a little longer.

Jimmy parked his car in the parking lot and walked to the bar. There were still a lot of people in the bar, and the seats in front of Jimmy's favorite bar were actually full.

Jimmy stood at the corner of the bar and knocked on the bar: "Woody, give me a drink."

Holding the wine glass, Jimmy came to a small round table near the corner and waited for Ruiz here.After more than half an hour, Ruiz finally came over. Jimmy raised his hand to say hello, making sure that he was waiting here when he saw him, and Ruiz also came over with a glass of wine.

Ruiz: "You really know how to find time, boy, tell me, what can I do?"

Jimmy looked around, moved his chair and sat next to Ruiz: "I went to Hughes' house tonight, and he told me about the insider and my being investigated by OPR, you should know all of this, right? "

Ruiz nodded. He is not a talkative person. Although these matters are related to Jimmy, Hughes obviously didn't want Jimmy to deal with them before, so he has always kept the secret and never told Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Is there anything I need to know?"

Ruiz was drinking and thinking about what to say, because he didn't participate in the conversation between Jimmy and Hughes, so he didn't know how much Jimmy knew, "What do you want to know?"

Jimmy: "Who is in charge of OPR's investigation of me?"

Ruiz shook his head: "It is currently certain that Derek of the OPR initiated an investigation against you after being notified by the intermediary, but he did not do it himself, but after communicating with Agent Fuller, let Fuller directed the investigation into you."

Jimmy: "Is Fuller a suspect?"

Ruiz: "No, judging from the results of the investigation, Fuller is not suspected. I suspect that he will investigate you just to get more cases. It doesn't even rule out that he knows that Derek is going to investigate. You took the initiative to ask for the case from Derek."

Jimmy's eyes widened: "I have nothing against Fuller, right? Why target me?"

Ruiz shrugged: "They are OPR. If you want to get promoted and raise your salary, you are destined to start with the inside. I think you are just unlucky. It just happened that he is relatively free now, and Hughes applied for a promotion for you. It needs an internal investigation, anyway, it’s a case, and it’s a credit if it’s done, and it won’t affect him if there is no evidence, why not do it?”
