North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 580 Closing
When Jimmy heard Hughes say that Peter would be transferred to Washington DC, he understood that the Manhattan office still suffered a lot this time.

Peter was the most promising candidate for the field supervisor. He was only in his 40s, still very young and capable. Especially in recent years, the detection rate of Peter’s team can reach more than 80%, which is a terrifying statistic of 87%. Others People have no advantage over him.

Moreover, Peter's circle of friends is very wide, and the interpersonal relationship in New York is far better than others. Once such a field supervisor takes over, he can control the position stably for a long time.

Now, although Peter was not expelled from the FBI because of the murder, he had to leave the Manhattan office to go to the Washington DC headquarters. The Manhattan office still lost the successors prepared in advance, which completely disrupted their plans.

You must know that Hughes retired once in the early days, and was later rehired. He retired again this time, and he will not have a third chance to serve as a supervisor.

The FBI is not a private company. There are a lot of capable people here, and there are too many people waiting in line to be promoted. Before, because Hughes was wronged, it is reasonable to rehire once. Now he is officially retired from the headquarters and rehired. One time would be too much of a face, your Manhattan office is empty, right?

Now that the successor who was originally planned to be trained has been eliminated, it is not easy to find another one from the echelon. If you choose an unsuitable one, you will not be able to replace it for a long time. You can't replace three or five field supervisors a year, right? , Let alone the complaints from the headquarters, the management of the Manhattan office is absolutely ashamed.

Jimmy: "How long?"

Hughes: "Not very long, maybe a few weeks."

Jimmy: "If Peter goes to DC, is there a replacement?"

Hughes looked at Jimmy. He also noticed the way Jimmy stopped to think just now. From the conversation, it can be heard that Jimmy realized many things.The person who took over was talking about the person in charge of Peter's team, and he was also talking about the candidate for the field supervisor.

After thinking for a while, Hughes did not answer Jimmy's question, but changed the subject, "Are you ready to go back to the field?"

Jimmy nodded: "Be ready at any time. I just hosted a press conference today. Although it was pretty good, this kind of task is really not what I am good at."

Hughes: "Well, in a few days, I will communicate with others."

Jimmy narrowed his eyes slightly and returned to normal: "Are you sure?"

Hughes nodded, "Let's arrange it like this for now, there are many things that need to be dealt with."

After talking for a while, Jimmy's beer was finished, he got up to leave, and Hughes sent him to the door, "Get ready, goodbye, Jimmy."

Jimmy shook hands with Hughes, turned and left his house, got into the car and went straight back to the apartment.

There was plenty of time to think when we got home, first with Peter's team, who was now a Supervision Detective, and one level up was the Assistant Detective Superintendent, which was Hughes' previous position.

This time he was transferred to DC, it is estimated that Hughes and the others will not completely abandon him, let him act as the supervisor for a period of time, and he will be officially promoted when he arrives in DC.

There is no second supervisory agent on the white-collar team, but from the perspective of echelon construction, it should be Jones. He has been in the team for several years, and he has already been a senior agent, and his promotion is normal now.

Forget about Diana, she and Jimmy were detectives at the same time, but they came to the white-collar team half a year earlier than Jimmy.Diana was normally recruited to attend the FBI's Quanti Academy of Sciences, so she reported for duty in January.Jimmy was one of the special recruits after 911/6. It was June when he came to Manhattan to report after the training.

Jimmy has done so many things, and he has only been a senior detective for two years. Diana has absolutely no chance of being promoted to a supervisory detective.

It is not very likely that a team leader will be transferred from another team to take over Peter's position.

In fact, the cases of Peter and the others are rather special. Most of them are art-related and white-collar crimes. First of all, they must have enough artistic accomplishment. After discovering the case, they can judge the value of the artwork and whether there are potential suspects in related industries.

Secondly, quite a few of these cases require sufficient interpersonal relationships, otherwise the communication of various art museums and museums can drive people crazy.

Finally, compared to cases in other groups, there are basically no high-risk crimes in the white-collar group. Compared with people in the homicide group who are already familiar with various crimes, they may be acclimated.

As for the field supervisor, this is really difficult to guess. Who knows how many options Hughes has in his hands. Apart from the people Jimmy is familiar with, there are many teams, not to mention several other field offices. Over there There are also many supervisory agents who can be promoted.

Now I still need to consider my return to the field position. I was in the homicide unit before, and now Ma Hong and David are doing very well. It would be good to go back by myself, at least everything is familiar.

If it wasn't the homicide team, it would most likely be the white-collar team, because I was there when I was a trainee detective. Now that Peter leaves and Jones is promoted, their team is short of people, and it is very likely that two people will be readjusted. Come here, it is not ruled out to arrange another trainee agent here to familiarize himself with the situation, just like Jimmy and Diana did back then.

Another option is Ruiz's side, but it is estimated that Hughes and the others will not let them go there. I am too familiar with Ruiz. If it is on his side, I guess no one will care about it.

These are the three possible options. You can't just throw someone to the field office just to let yourself go back to the field, right?

After being busy for a while, taking advantage of the weekend, Jimmy and Nia drove away from New York and went to the Catskill Mountains for vacation.

Catskill Mountain is not far from New York. It takes a few hours to drive there. The time is not suitable. If it is summer, Jimmy will definitely choose to go to the national park campground to set up a tent. It is very cold now, so be honest It is better to choose hotels and wooden villas.

Nia lived in a log cabin in Alaska for a while before, and finally decided to stay in the log cabin camp in the park.

Hiking along streams and lakes, admiring the natural scenery and the vast lake landscape is their purpose. They have been busy for a long time, and just wander around in such a relaxing way. It is definitely an excellent destination for nearby travel on weekends.

Looking at the calm lake in front of him, Jimmy suddenly had an unexpected impulse. He picked up a flat stone from the ground, observed it carefully, and then bent sideways and threw it towards the lake. The stone hit the water several times. The second float sank into the lake.

"Oh hoo~" Jimmy yelled, then looked down for small stones, and threw several in a row, but couldn't find any small stones of suitable size. Neng sighed regretfully, and gave up the childish behavior of such an older boy.

He turned his head to look at Nia, who had been ignored by him for a while. She put her hands on her chest and watched Jimmy laughing. Seeing that Jimmy was over, she pointed directly at the lake and said, "Go and wash your hands."

Jimmy glanced at his hands, washed them honestly by the lake, and took a tissue from Nia to wipe his hands. Nia stretched out her arms and hugged Jimmy's arms, "You like this, it's like you don't grow up big kid."

Jimmy shrugged: "I don't want to, just now I suddenly had an urge to throw a few. Hey, unfortunately, the small stones by the lake are not suitable. I will have to find a handy one later, so I can hit a few floats." , not enough! I must throw twenty floats."

Nia rolled her eyes, and led him to continue walking along the lake.Jimmy looked at the ground left and right as he walked, "Did you know? There are special swimming competitions and special world records, but I didn't remember them."

Nia: "It's enough of you, there is still a competition for this kind of game."

Jimmy: "How can there be no competition? No boy can refuse to swim on the lake! Especially with a group of people playing together! I was a master of swimming."

Nia: "When?"

Jimmy: "Uh, when I was in elementary school, I don't remember clearly. I haven't played it for many years. Wow, wait for me."

Jimmy broke away from Nia's hand and ran to the side. An oval stone less than ten centimeters was lying on the ground.Jimmy picked it up, wiped the dirt on it, came to the lake and threw it out, "Wow, twelve. YES! Sure enough, there is something wrong with the rocks in front."

Nia was speechless, Jimmy had never been so naive, and she had never played this game, and she didn't know what excitement there was in throwing a stone.

She looked down, picked up a small stone, imitated Jimmy and threw it out, "It's not difficult, you see."

Jimmy was speechless for a moment. Nia just picked up stones and threw them casually, and she could hit ten floats before sinking into the water. This...how can I reason.

It was too frustrating, Jimmy and Nia washed their hands with the lake water, and continued to walk along the lake. It is better to go back and play alone.

In the evening, the two returned to the wooden house. Jimmy and Nia cooked dinner together. After dinner, while sitting in the living room of the wooden house to rest, Jimmy once again mentioned his previous thoughts, whether to buy a house as a new house before getting married .

There are still a few months to go, and there is almost enough time to renovate according to their ideas after buying a new house. If it is later, they may not be able to move in immediately after getting married.

Nia doesn't have any special ideas. In fact, if the future population increase is not considered, the Upper West Side apartment they live in now meets their daily needs. The key is that they are close to work.

Based on the current work situation, it is better to be closer. The two discussed several options, and then the requirements for the house, and they will choose carefully after returning to New York.

Jimmy still has the phone number of the real estate agency that the FBI office cooperated with before, and Nia's side is more convenient. For a small man like Kevin, it is really easy to find a reliable real estate agency, and the agency They will definitely not make any fools. They still expect to develop well in New York. Offending the big shots of NYPD is really looking for death.

The two-day weekend ended quickly, and Jimmy drove Nia back to New York, first sent Nia home, and Jimmy went back to the apartment to rest.

Back in the office, Jimmy first went to Isabel. He had previously announced the murder of Senator Terrence Pratt as a spokesperson, and then he went on vacation. Before he had time to check the attitude of the news on him .

Isabel gave Jimmy a very good evaluation, but most of the media didn't pay attention to the spokesperson's situation at all, but focused on the senator. This case is too serious, and Jimmy was avoided by accident. possible good and bad reviews.

Spokespersons are not so easy to do. Spokespersons who say wrong words or have unreasonable manners will be magnified. Therefore, the spokespersons of general government agencies are either department leaders or special external propaganda departments. They have undergone a lot of training. of.

Jimmy made sure there was nothing wrong with him, so he returned to his office.Before he finished reading the relevant materials, the phone on the desk rang. Jimmy answered the phone, then got up and went to Mrs. Mason's office.

Jimmy: "Mrs. Mason, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Mason: "Well, tidy up these days and hand over the work to Isabel."

Jimmy raised his eyebrows, immediately returned to his normal expression, and asked, "Is it settled?"

Mrs. Mason nodded: "Don't worry, it's just that I'm not sure where you are going yet."

Jimmy: "Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Mason, for taking care of me for so long."

Mrs. Mason waved her hand, and Jimmy turned and left her office.

At noon, Jimmy ran into Mahon downstairs who was out for lunch, and he happened to be his dinner partner.

During the meal, Mahone revealed a piece of news to Jimmy. Director Callaway had already had a meeting with the department in the morning. She will end her position as the field supervisor of the Manhattan office this week and be transferred to the DC headquarters.

As for the follow-up successor, there is no arrangement for the time being. Peter just finished his prison career last week and is now recuperating at home, waiting to return to the office next week.

During Peter's arrest, the white-collar team was temporarily represented by Little Black Jones, just like when Jimmy was in the homicide team. Before Mahone came, Jimmy was in charge of the homicide team alone.

The white-collar group is the most troublesome right now. Jimmy just found out that Diana, another member of the white-collar group, is pregnant. Her belly is obviously bulging now and she is no longer suitable for field work.In fact, there is only one agent in the white-collar team who can go out in the field, and that is Jones. Plus Neil Caffrey, the art consultant, that's the entire staff.

Last week, Jimmy was also thinking about who would take over from the white-collar team. Now it seems that when Peter leaves Manhattan to go to DC, the white-collar team will completely change.

Jimmy didn't tell Mahone about Hughes' arrangement. Although Mahone was transferred from Chicago by Hughes, he only stayed in Manhattan for a year or two. The time is still too short. I don't know if he is Hughes' side.
