North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 568 Auction

With a new supervisor in place, the field department has a head.But Jimmy hasn't seen it yet, Mrs. Mason asked Isabel to inform Jimmy.

Although I don't know if Mrs. Mason has communicated with Deputy Director Dave about Jimmy, but now Isabel's words to Jimmy are still a bit of a warning, and go to work honestly.

Jimmy didn't get involved in other things anymore, and now he was completely idle, just like before, and he basically didn't get involved in the affairs of the public affairs office.

The people from Bowery King also provided the video, and they sent it directly to Jimmy's bar and handed it over to Woody, who then passed it on to Jimmy.

It was a little bit too much for them to do things, but it was okay, at least they didn't go directly to his home or the bureau, and Jimmy could accept the bar as a transit point.If it is really delivered home, it will have a different meaning.

I turned on the computer and looked at it. The two U disks collected Jimmy’s previous public battle videos. They were basically Jimmy’s one-to-many battle scenes, including the battle outside the warehouse when he dealt with the bombing case and the fight to save Rui. Here is the surveillance video of the person who killed MS13, as well as his several battle videos on the street.

There are some Jimmys who haven’t seen it himself. The media has broadcast Jimmy’s battle videos several times before, but none of them are as complete as those in these two USB flash drives. Bowery and the others are really strong in intelligence gathering.

In the evening, after Jimmy and Nia came back from having dinner outside, Jimmy went back to the study to check the videos, especially the two street ambush videos.

Nia sent Jimmy black tea, and under Jimmy's influence, Nia also started to make tea at home, but more of them were just appearances.

Nia: "What are you watching? Oh, I saw this video."

Jimmy: "Well, I got some videos from other people, and there are a few others I haven't seen before."

Nia immediately came over and sat directly on Jimmy's lap: "Let me see it too."

Jimmy re-opened the video, not only played it, but also told Nia about the situation at the time, as well as his strategy and ideas to meet the enemy, and whether there is any room for improvement. It took longer to restore and dismantle the battle.

Nia really knows that Jimmy is very strong. At the beginning, she accepted Jimmy because he was far superior to his peers in combat. Looking back on these previous battle videos, it was Jimmy who explained it himself, and she was very interested.

So, the painful and happy night was spent in toil.
-
Finally, Nia waited for her time off and asked Jimmy to go home with her for dinner at night. After a long time of busy work, she could finally have a good rest.

After dinner, the family was sitting in the living room chatting, Jimmy was still thinking about his own affairs, Kevin suddenly asked: "Jimmy, you have been in the logistics department for a long time, is there no news of your transfer? "

Jimmy: "Huh? No news, it's inconvenient to adjust the position recently."

Kevin frowned: "Inconvenient?"

Jimmy nodded: "Hughes, our former field supervisor, was forced to retire, and now a new supervisor has been transferred from Atlanta."

Kevin stood up, "Come on, let's go to the study to talk."

Jimmy also followed Kevin to the study. Jimmy took whiskey and glasses from the shelf to the sofa area. Kevin took out a humidor from the small cabinet next to him and gave Jimmy one. This study is the only one in the house where you can smoke unscrupulously. Where the cigars are placed, there is an independent exhaust system.

Kevin: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Jimmy: "Some things are inconvenient to disclose to the public, as long as you know it. Our people were investigating a murder case involving a relative of a consultant, and then accidentally got some clues. The clues pointed to a big shot, a super big shot. When investigating the big shot , arrested a benefactor who had a close relationship with him, and was pressured directly from the Ministry of Justice by big figures, and the headquarters arranged for Hughes to retire forcibly.

The successor of the field director did not go through the normal appointment process, and someone was directly transferred from Atlanta. At present, there seems to be some matters to be dealt with in the bureau. The original plan was to arrange for me to return to the field. A few days ago, Dave The deputy director personally told me that it was not convenient to transfer at the moment, and asked me to wait. "

Kevin was smoking a cigar, thinking about Jimmy's words. Although he was also a big shot in NYPD, he definitely didn't know anything about the affairs of a federal agency like the FBI. If it wasn't for Jimmy, he wouldn't have asked.

Kevin: "Then do you still want to stay in the PR department?"

Jimmy nodded, "If there are no accidents, I will definitely continue. The new supervisor, I think I will have to go through a lot of procedures to go back. She is not Hughes after all. The key is that it is still not sure what the new supervisor is. People, whose people, you can be sure that they are definitely not the people arranged by the upper echelons of our office."

Kevin: "So do you have any ideas? What are you going to do recently?"

Jimmy: "I have some ideas, but they may not be easy to handle. I plan to take advantage of the free time to study. You know, I graduated from a community college before. Need to go one step further.”

Kevin: "Good idea, do you have a goal?"

Jimmy: "Well, I want to see if there are any schools that offer part-time learning and see how."

Kevin thought for a while, "Anything else?"

Jimmy: "One more thing. Hughes reminded me two days ago that if I have the opportunity, I should set up associations or funds to gild myself, saying that it is good for my future. I don't know how to do these things. Maybe Also take some time to see how to create an association or foundation."

Kevin: "No, you are wrong. Hughes does not ask you to build an organization from scratch, but requires you to occupy a position in a reputable association or fund. After you go to management Or when going up, these good reputations are your rising capital."

Jimmy: "It's not easy. No matter which organization is full, it's not easy to get a position that can be taken, right?"

Kevin picked up the glass and took a sip of whiskey, "I'll go check the schedule first."

Kevin walked to the desk, took his bag and took out a small diary from inside and began to flip through it. He walked around the desk while reading it. After a while, he closed the diary and sat back on the sofa , "There will be a club event in a few days. I will inform you after I confirm it. If possible, you can join me."

Jimmy nodded: "A formal event?"

Kevin nodded: "It's time to dress more formally."

Jimmy: "Okay, do you need Nia to participate?"

Kevin shook his head: "No, you can just come with me, and I will introduce a few people to you when the time comes."

Jimmy nodded, picked up his glass and drank, "Thank you, Kevin. Cheers."

The future father-in-law is awesome.This is also the first time to participate in an event with him, to see what the activities between big shots are like.

A peaceful week passed, and Jimmy went to work honestly. Maybe it was dealt with by Peter. OPR has not come to Jimmy for trouble.

The new field supervisor is Amanda Callaway. She is a beautiful blonde. Um, she is an expired beauty. She looks like she is in her 40s. Her blonde hair is scattered around her shoulders. She doesn't look like she has her hair tied up like other female agents. Look capable.

But it should be normal. After all, she doesn't need to go out to work. Like Hughes, she only handles things here in the office, and she doesn't need to be like everyone else.

Her inaugural speech was well done, at least it seemed ambitious to replace Rhys Hughes and run the field team the way she did, but a lot of people didn't seem too interested.

Such a long time is enough for everyone to understand how Hughes was driven away, and a boss was transferred from Atlanta. Obviously, it is unrealistic to convince everyone in a short time.

None of this has anything to do with Jimmy. He didn't go to their office at all this week. Mrs. Mason also arranged two missions to go out to school to do safety promotion. Although she is not tired, it is always good to be able to go out.

In the afternoon, Jimmy left work early, went home to wash and changed into a suit and a tie with blue and purple diagonal stripes, and took care of it carefully. Then he drove to Kevin's house, and when it was almost time, he picked up Kevin and went to participate in the evening activities together. .

Jimmy is the driver today, and the CLS has already been brought back. After a round of 4S store renovations, the whole car looks not too different from the new one, and it is not too much of a loss.

Kevin: "You like Mercedes-Benz cars?"

Jimmy: "No, I don't have any special hobbies. It's just that when I changed the car before, I just bought one when it was on the market. It seems to be okay."

Kevin: "Well, it's fine for daily use, but if you want to change your car, choose an executive model."

Jimmy: "What about the brand?"

Kevin: "It's all right, just go and experience it yourself."

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll choose."

Speaking from experience, Kevin's own car is a Cadillac. Although Jimmy has never ridden it before, he knows the brand, maybe it is because of his identity.

I am just an FBI agent, and it seems that it is not time to change to an executive model, but Kevin has already spoken, so I will change, anyway, it is not bad for this money.

Kevin: "Tonight's event is a small charity auction. One of the organizers of the event is the Mercy Police Care Fund, which is a local foundation in New York. It mainly helps police officers who are in difficulty and families of injured police officers provide money and supplies. and moral support to ease the difficulties they face.

This foundation is organized by members of the two clubs. Although it is not sponsored by the New York City Police Association, it has also received their support. Therefore, many people from the city government and the police department will participate today. At the same time, they will also invite Some celebrities come over. "

Jimmy: "Okay, do I need to participate in the auction?"

Kevin: "No, this kind of auction has relatively fixed participants. My participation is just to endorse their activities, and they just need me to participate in taking a photo or something.

Later, I will introduce a few people to you, one of whom is a board member of the New York University Alliance, let’s get to know each other first, and then we will consider what to do later. "

Jimmy: "Is it about the training I told you the other day?"

Kevin: "Well, but it's not clear yet, let's get in touch first."

Jimmy: "Thank you."

Arriving at the destination, an art gallery in Chelsea was temporarily withdrawn from its exhibits and set up as the venue for this charity auction.

At the entrance of the gallery, a red carpet does not extend too long, and some banners and display panels are placed on the left and right sides, with the logo and slogan of the Charity and Police Care Fund printed on them, and of course other organizers of the auction are also displayed.

Jimmy walked into the entrance with Kevin, and entered the gallery after the staff checked the invitation. Jimmy also took an event brochure, which contained the introduction of the auction organizer and information about some auction items.

But there is no time to check it now. Jimmy and Kevin entered the exhibition area and saw that there were already many people here.

The venue is mainly divided into three areas: the exhibition area, the auction area and the event area. The exhibition area is at the entrance and has a relatively large area. The auction items for this event have been displayed around, including paintings and some things that look old. Each lot has a detailed description, but the starting price is not marked.

Inside the exhibition area is the auction area, where you can see neatly arranged chairs and podiums, but no one is currently sitting.

Next to the auction area is the event area. Although the specific content cannot be seen, Jimmy can see that there are already many people inside, some standing and some sitting, looking at the way they hold cups in their hands, that area should be for social activities An area for guests to rest and provide social activities.

Kevin looked at the people around him, and pulled Jimmy back: "Jimmy, you can take a look here first, it's still early."

Jimmy: "Okay, how about you?"

Kevin: "I'll go inside and say hello to some people, and I'll call you when they arrive."

Jimmy: "Okay."

Kevin walked to the activity area inside, while Jimmy began to observe the auction items here.It can be seen that the auction items here are not particularly expensive things. A few oil paintings and sketches, it can be seen that they should be works of well-known painters, but Jimmy's appreciation of paintings is not very good, so he can't tell what is good .

One of them, "Landscape of Liberty", is not bad. It is quite large in size, and it should look good if it is hung in the living room.The colors are very rich, there are large green grasslands and trees, and there is a high mountain in the distance, and the white snow on the top of the mountain also draws a sense of layering. At least Jimmy looks very good.He doesn't like figure painting, but he is interested in this kind of landscape painting.

Continue to read, and soon a hunting knife caught Jimmy's attention. It was handcrafted by MS-level masters of the ABS Knifesmiths Association. The blade has Damascus diagonal stripes. Copper guard, crocodile leather scabbard, the whole knife looks very good.

It's a pity that Kevin said that he would not be allowed to participate in the auction today. Let's see the auction price of this knife later. If there is a chance, I will also find a MS knifesmith to make one.

Looking at the auction items one by one, there are not many that can catch the eye. The only thing that makes him interested in participating in the auction is a gemstone necklace. The pendant made of ruby, emerald and black gemstones looks very good. I wonder if Nia is interested.

Jimmy took out his phone and took a picture, and he will ask her later.
