North American Gunslinger Detective

What Hughes told Jimmy was very brief, with only results, but based on what Jimmy had heard in the Bureau over the years, Peter and his adviser, Neil Caffery, were not very disciplined.

It's just that Jimmy doesn't care about the details, he only cares about the effect and the cause.

Hughes: "Probably so. When I authorized Peter to monitor Senator Platt, I thought about what would happen if it failed, but I didn't expect them to do it so simply.

Senator Pratt went directly to the Attorney General, and an hour later, the FBI Director called me and settled everything directly without any ability to resist.But fortunately, at least Peter and the others were not disturbed, and they should be able to continue the investigation now. "

Jimmy looked at Hughes' expressionless face, Hughes must be in a bad mood. "Not reconciled, huh? Going to the bar for a drink? I'll call Peter."

Hughes looked at the time, "It's still working time, forget it, we can just have a drink or two at home."

Hughes got up and took out half a bottle of wine from it. It could be seen that he would have a drink when he was free.

Jimmy touched Hughes with a glass of wine, "Mrs. Mason informed me that the terrorist attack case at DHS is almost over. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Hughes took a sip of his wine and put the cup on the tea table: "No need for now, there are too many people involved in this matter, let Peter and the others investigate."

Jimmy was also drinking, "A personal question, what are the people in our office thinking now?"

Hughes snorted, "If you can't count on them, it's the best result if you don't hold back."

Jimmy: "Mrs. Mason said that I might be transferred back to the field soon. Did you arrange this?"

Hughes: "No, it's nothing to do with me. I submitted my retirement application as soon as I got the news and didn't do anything else."

Jimmy: "Where's your successor?"

Hughes sighed, "Let's go with the flow, and, besides, I doubt whether the Manhattan office is capable of resisting the transfer of people from outside."

Jimmy: "That's very strange. Who informed Mrs. Mason that I will return to the field soon? I don't think Mrs. Mason has the authority to decide my position?"

Hughes nodded: "Don't worry about Mrs. Mason, she is very good and will not set up any obstacles for you. Now you go to work normally, don't think too much."

Jimmy also nodded, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and put it on the tea table: "Then I'll go back first, I don't think the bureau will be too stable these days."

Hughes got up and sent Jimmy out, sat on the sofa and stared at the wine glasses on the table in a daze.After a while, Hughes poured himself a full glass and downed it in one gulp.

He picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Do you have time? Meet and chat."

Hughes changed his clothes and walked out. His destination was not far away, so there was no need to drive. Besides, he had had two drinks just now. If he drove, he might be in trouble.

A cigar club near Hughes' home. Hughes is a member here. He just said hello and came to the room inside. Soon someone came in under the leadership of the waiter.

Hughes: "Giovanni, sit down, please. Want one? The club's new batch of Arturo Fuentes."

Giovanni waved his hand: "No, there is another meeting to be held next. What's the matter? Reese."

Hughes: "I'm retired, forced into early retirement."

Giovanni frowned and looked at Hughes: "When did it happen?"

Hughes: "Yesterday. Giovanni, I need your help."

Giovanni nodded: "You say."

Hughes: "I need you to monitor two calls, one from my office and the other from...Terrence Pratt, Senator from Maryland."

Giovanni's face changed drastically, "Are you crazy?"

Hughes looked at Giovanni, smoking a cigar, "Just think I'm crazy, please help me."

Giovanni took a deep breath, "Give me the number."

Hughes took out the note prepared in advance and gave it to Giovanni. He got up and left the room. Hughes continued to sit and smoke a cigar, took a newspaper from the side and read it.

Jimmy drank a glass of wine, but it was not a big problem. He drove back to the FBI office, but instead of going to his own office, he came to Peter.

Jimmy: "Jones, long time no see, are Peter there?"

Black Jones glanced at Jimmy, stood up and hugged him, "Long time no see, Jimmy, what's the matter?"

Jones didn't look happy. No wonder, Hughes was taken home. Their group is the closest to Hughes' office, so of course they all know what's going on now.

Jimmy patted Jones in his arms and let go, "Where are Peter and Calfry?"

Jones: "Peter is resting at home, and Kavri is not here today."

Jimmy: "OK, I see. I'll find him at his house, bye, Jones."

Jones: "Goodbye."

Watching Jimmy get on the elevator, Jones immediately picked up his mobile phone and called Peter: "Peter, Jimmy just came to see you. I said you were at home, and he might go to your place."

Peter: "Well, I'm at home. Don't be nervous, Jimmy is not an outsider. ... Don't worry, I can handle it."

Jones hung up the phone and looked at Diana next to him. The two looked at each other silently, sighed, and continued to investigate clues.

Peter hung up Jones' phone and looked down at his left arm. This time his car was tampered with and then had a car accident at an intersection. Obviously someone wanted to stop him from continuing the investigation, but they still managed to use Neil Caffrey's undercover operation captured the real estate agent, but his only regret was that he did not confess to Senator Pratt who supported him.

Peter ground the coffee and sat on the sofa waiting for Jimmy to arrive. Since Jones said so, he would definitely come, even if he didn't call in advance.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Peter came over and opened the door, "Jimmy, please come in."

Jimmy: "Peter, how's your injury? I've been dealing with a terrorist attack these days and didn't know you were in a car accident."

Jimmy handed Peter a bottle of red wine in his hand, and then sat on the sofa.

Peter took the red wine and put it on the table next to him, "Coffee? I just made it."

Jimmy: "Well, thank you."

When they were both sitting on the sofa, Peter looked at Jimmy: "Jimmy, is it about Hughes?"

Jimmy nodded: "What happened? It was so sudden, I'm completely confused now."

Peter had already thought about it in advance. Jimmy was not an outsider, and he had worked with him for a few months. Peter knew his character and ability clearly: "We made a mistake. Hughes was forced to retire."

Jimmy: "I just met with Hughes, and he just said something about a senator."

Peter: "Well, this is a very troublesome case. Neil Caffery, his father's partner, Ellen, entered the Marshals' Witness Protection Program, and this was the last family member before Neil. She left a copy after she died. The video was sent to Neil, telling about the events between Neil's father and the gang. Neil's father was involved in a black police murder case.

Ellen left a piece of information, and she put the information she collected back then in a box, waiting for Neil to find this information and return his father's innocence.

We followed that box until we found out that Neil's biological father, Sam, was alive and hiding his identity.According to his account, the black policeman was someone else.

The gang family Flynn and the others reappeared. We found out that the gun that killed Ellen belonged to Flynn, and then arrested Flynn. The transshipment order came from Terrence Pratt, U.S. Senator from Maryland.

After investigating Senator Pratt’s information, he found that before he became a senator, he served as the police chief of the Washington DC Police Department. He was in the same police station as Neil’s father. After that, he speculated that the black police colluded with the gangsters. Probably he did.This is how Hughes agreed to monitor Senator Platt later.

We confirmed through surveillance that Senator Platt was related to a real estate developer. After the real estate developer was arrested, he did not confess to Senator Platt. Just after we arrested, Hughes was forced to retire .That's all there is to it. "

Peter took a sip of coffee and watched Jimmy thinking about it. He said a lot, and it took a little time to sort out the relationship here.

Jimmy replayed what Peter described several times in his mind, and took a sip of coffee unconsciously. The bitter taste of the unsweetened coffee hit his nerves before he could react.

Jimmy put down his coffee cup and looked at Peter: "So, this incident was completely caused by other cases?"

Peter nodded: "None of us expected such a thing to happen. Senator Platt is undoubtedly one of the black policemen back then, and his current public corruption must be true, but we have no evidence. The only The evidence that can confirm that he is a black policeman is in the box left by Ellen, and now Neil and the others are investigating where the box is."

Jimmy: "So, how far have you investigated now?"

Peter: "We found the key Ellen left behind, but we never knew where her box was."

Jimmy: "I see. Is there anything I can do?"

Peter shook his head: "Don't come in for now, you are still in the public affairs office, not a field agent, please don't overstep your authority, someone is watching us now."

Jimmy nodded, "Okay, I will return to the field office as soon as possible. Remember to remind me if you have any clues."

Peter: "I will, Hughes can't just leave it alone, we will catch him."

Jimmy raised his coffee cup: "For Hughes."

Peter: "For Hughes."

-

Peter is credible, and there is no problem with the case process he said just now, so now it is a federal senator who got rid of the field director of the FBI office. This is no longer a normal position adjustment, it is completely a personal grievance.

Jimmy returned to the office. After closing the door, he turned on the computer directly to search for the public information of Senator Terrence Pratt. Peter and the others continued their investigation. He was just familiarizing himself with the information. His eyes were darkened.

Looking at the time, Jimmy thought for a while, closed the blinds, and called Deputy Director Dave, "Deputy Director Dave, this is Jimmy Yang."

Dave: "Is it about Hughes?"

Jimmy: "Yes, do you have time tonight?"

Dave: "I understand what you want to say, don't get involved in this matter, it's very troublesome."

Jimmy: "But..."

Dave: "No but, Jimmy, this is too much trouble for you to be a part of right now."

Jimmy was silent for a few seconds: "Okay, I understand. So, can I go back to the field office?"

Dave: "A new field supervisor will be transferred soon. Not yet, wait for me to inform you."

After waiting for a few seconds, Dave continued: "I understand your feelings for Hughes, but now this is not Hughes' own business, do you understand? This is the business of the Manhattan office and all of us. "

Jimmy: "Thanks, Dave. I'll be waiting for your call."

Dave: "Remember, don't do it privately." After speaking, Dave hung up the phone.

-

What Dave said is very clear. This time, the face of the Manhattan office was beaten and swollen. The Attorney General directly contacted the director of the FBI headquarters to order Hughes to retire. He did not communicate with the people here in the Manhattan office. The solution is to press and rub all the faces in the office on the ground, and there is a pile of shit on the ground.

The tone of Dave's speech just now is different from before. Dave is still very satisfied with the boy Jimmy. The fact that he can call for Hughes so quickly shows that they are right. Jimmy is still very concerned about his own people. .

But he didn't dare to let Jimmy move around. According to his character and ability, if he really let go, things would be troublesome.After all, they are federal senators. There are a total of 100 people in the United States. There are only two federal senators in each state. They are not small people. Even if such a person is threatened by someone, it may cause a high-level earthquake.

Now, although Jimmy was placed in the Public Affairs Office after they discussed and compromised, they did not give up on him. Instead, according to normal policy adjustments, Jimmy could not stay in the Public Affairs Office all the time, and he always had to return to the Field Office.

It's just not now, this time Hughes was forced to retire, and even his position was forcibly taken away by his superiors. There is already a new candidate for the field supervisor, arranged by the headquarters, and transferred from the Atlanta field supervisor to Amanda in the New York office Callaway, because of the handover problem, has not come to work in Manhattan yet, and it is estimated that he will be here in a few days.

Dave is clear about this matter, and they have no way to refuse. At this time point, if Jimmy wants to be transferred from the public affairs office to the field, he must wait for Amanda Callaway to be in place before communicating and confirming, otherwise it will trigger a new incident. The problem even directly led to a superficial conflict between the Manhattan office and the DC headquarters. (end of this chapter)
