North American Gunslinger Detective

After lunch, Jimmy and Mahone returned to the office.

In Jimmy's impression, Mahone usually doesn't care too much about gossip, but this time he can know so many things about the white-collar team, it seems that the field office should have spread the word.

Mahon is actually very proud. If it wasn't for his psychological problems that led to his divorce from his ex-wife, and his children also left with his ex-wife, he would not have agreed to come to the Manhattan office in New York from Chicago.

While being proud, he is not a stickler. Jimmy helped him with some small things in Chicago. From this small thing, it can be seen that people are white, but his heart is definitely black, or he is not completely black. At least it's gray.

It is rare to see that he has a particularly good relationship with other people, but he will not offend others. Such a person will not be so well-informed. He knows everything, and the news can only be spread thoroughly.

Because he has to go back to the field department this time, he can't make any extra trouble now, so he can't go to the field department to get information for the time being. He can only find out through this chance encounter, but it seems that the possibility of him returning to the white-collar group is very high. Diana's pregnancy was the biggest opportunity.

Diana is pregnant, so naturally she won't be able to go out frequently in the field. She will probably be assigned to the team to handle some internal affairs such as intelligence collection. Only Jones in the field will definitely not be enough. He can just supplement the white-collar team in the past.

Wait a little longer, if you have news, you can contact Jones for a walk, and inquire about other news about their group in advance.

Jimmy organizes his desk in the office and has been in this office for almost a year. To be honest, he really likes this kind of independent office for one person.

After such a long time, there are still a lot of things in this office. Jimmy needs to sort them out. Some of them are handed over to Isabel, and his own things need to be packed and taken to the new office.

In the evening, Jimmy received a call from Peter. Jimmy kissed Nia, got up, changed his clothes, walked out of the house, and went to the place where Peter promised.

Peter didn't have an appointment with a bar or restaurant today, but in Central Park not far from Jimmy's apartment. It seemed that it was inconvenient for people around to say something.

Jimmy found Peter by the lake in Central Park, sitting on a bench with a half-dozen cans of beer beside him.

Peter: "Hey, that's pretty quick. Sit down."

Peter took a can of beer to Jimmy, and Jimmy took it and pulled the ring: "Why are you so busy today?"

Peter: "I've been very free these few days. After I came out of prison, I suddenly felt that life is pretty good now."

Jimmy laughed and took a sip of beer, "If you want to drink, you can go to the bar."

Peter: "It's quieter here. Cheers."

The two touched the jar and drank, and Peter said, "Thank you."

Jimmy: "You're welcome, you didn't do it, and you can't be made to bear the consequences of your mistakes."

Peter: "You know that's not what I'm talking about."

Jimmy: "I know, but as long as the result is good, don't worry about things here. You have to thank Neil."

Peter: "He told me, although I don't know how you did it... Cheers"

Peter touched Jimmy with a beer and drank the beer in the can.

Jimmy could only drink along, "What are your plans for the future?"

Peter: "I'll catch him, I will."

Jimmy looked at Peter in surprise. Did he not know that he was going to be transferred?Hughes, did they not talk to Peter at all?

Jimmy thought about it, and decided not to interfere in his arrangement: "How about the people in your group?"

Peter: "I haven't returned to the office yet, so I'm not sure yet. But Jones and Diane are both experienced, so they should be fine."

Jimmy: "Well, that's good. You left suddenly for more than a month, and I don't know what kind of chaos the group will be in. By the way, have you seen Hughes since you came out?"

Peter: "No, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Let's meet, you know, he helped you a lot."

Peter nodded, took another can of beer and opened it to Jimmy, "What about you? Are you going to come back?"

Jimmy laughed: "I don't know yet. I just held a press conference as the main spokesperson last week. To be honest, it feels pretty good."

Peter: "Then you plan to stay over there?"

Jimmy: "Let's wait for the arrangement. If the OPR doesn't agree, I can't go back to the field. That violation is a bit serious."

Peter: "Need me to ask you a question?"

Jimmy waved his hand, "No, let it be. I've only been in the Manhattan office for a few years and I've already become a senior agent. It's good to settle in another department. The leaders must have their own ideas. I'll talk to Mahone later. They chatted, and if they really want to go back, it is inevitable that he will come forward to coordinate."

Peter nodded, "Well, it's better to be familiar with industry cases. Speaking of which, you have been in the public affairs office for almost a year, and you have just started to be a spokesperson?"

Jimmy: "It's already very fast. I was supposed to think about it in a year."
-
After drinking half a dozen beers slowly, Jimmy and Peter came to the side of the road to take a taxi. After sending Peter to the car and leaving, Jimmy walked to the apartment, which was only two streets away.

After chatting for a while, Jimmy was completely sure that Hughes and the others had clearly arranged for Peter, but they never discussed with Peter from the beginning to the end, even if they arranged for him to go to DC, they didn't notify him in advance.

Peter stayed in prison for five or six weeks. During the whole process, no one would talk to him about anything other than the case. It is estimated that Elizabeth, Jones, and Diana will go to see Peter, but absolutely no one knows about Hughes's arrangement , Jimmy didn't talk to anyone else when he was doing things, only Neil Caffrey knew that in the end Jimmy got the federal prosecutors.

So in theory, it should be that Neil told Peter that Jimmy got the prosecutor, and then Peter speculated that Jimmy had done something, which led to him buying Jimmy a beer.

Peter has been out of prison for a few days, and he hasn't contacted Hughes. I don't know what he thinks. Hughes was implicated and retired because of what he did before. He didn't contact Hughes after he got out of prison.

Also, what does Hughes think? Since they have already decided on Peter's path, they should at least contact him in advance. Whether it is Hughes or the management, this kind of thing must be arranged in advance so that the follow-up can be arranged.

Jimmy went home to rest, thinking about the shit.
-
Two days later, Ruiz called and asked Jimmy to go to the bar for a drink. It was rare that Ruiz talked a lot recently, so Jimmy still asked him to go to his own bar. If he had nothing to do, he could sit outside and drink, and if he had something to talk about, he could go to the small room, which was very convenient.

When Jimmy was waiting for Ruiz at the bar, he didn't expect Mahone to come with him, which seemed like a big deal.Jimmy asked Woody to bring wine and snacks, and the three of them went directly to the small room.

Jimmy: "It's rare that you guys came over to drink together. Let's talk later."

After Woody arranged for someone to deliver the wine and glasses, Jimmy poured wine for everyone, raised his glass and took a sip before he asked, "What can you two come over together?"

Ruiz glanced at Mahon, then looked at Jimmy: "Hughes talked to me yesterday, and Dave also came to me today."

Jimmy answered immediately: "Congratulations, it looks like you're going to be promoted to supervisor."

Ruiz didn't feel annoyed when Jimmy interrupted him. He reached out and peeled the pistachios, "Mahon has also been interviewed."

Jimmy looked at Mahon: "Huh? Why?"

Mahon: "Get in touch with several departments."

Jimmy picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth. After eating it, he said, "It seems that the action is much bigger this time, Ruiz, how did you arrange it?"

Ruiz: "Well, the result is that Mahone takes over from Peter, I go up, David takes over from me, and you go back to homicide."

Jimmy was taken aback, "The homicide unit was dismantled?"

Ruiz nodded: "You are still the agent of the homicide team, but a new person will be arranged for you."

Jimmy: "This movement is a bit too much, when?"

Ruiz: "About a month later, we will have to wait for the announcement. At present, we only have a general arrangement. It remains to be seen whether we can proceed as planned."

Jimmy: "Ma Hong, you can engage in art crime... can you do it?"

Mahone: "Never did, but this is an opportunity."

Jimmy understands the meaning of this opportunity. Most of the cases involved in the white-collar group are related to rich people, museums, artworks, galleries, etc., and some involve companies and securities business. Compared with people in other groups, There are more contacts with the outside world, and the level of contact is also higher.

Most of Peter’s previous contacts were accumulated when he was handling various cases and cooperating with other people, and in the cases here, it is easy to meet people who can contact the high-level FBI, and the corresponding ones will often appear. An opportunity to earn favors by handling cases.

Compared with the homicide group, it is obvious that the white-collar group is a little bit higher internally. If Ma Hong takes Peter's class, it will be considered a better position in the internal adjustment position.

Jimmy looked left and right at Ruiz and Mahon, both of them looked very relaxed, holding the cup and looking at Jimmy in a daze.

Jimmy: "It seems that your position is quite good, by the way, Ruiz, just now you said that David took over your position?"

Ruiz: "Well, the current plan is like this. David's performance in the anti-terrorism team is quite good, and he is also very competent in the homicide team. I just mentioned it during this adjustment. There should be no problem."

Jimmy said after taking a sip of wine, "I remember David is just a senior agent?"

Ma Hong then said: "Well, this time I can be promoted to a supervisory agent smoothly."

Jimmy: "What about you? I didn't notice that before."

Ruiz: "I have been a supervisory agent for a long time. I remember that Mahon has been promoted after returning from secondment to Chicago last time, so the level is not a problem. But you have to wait a little longer, you were already a special agent last time. It's a special matter, and it will take a few years to upgrade."

Jimmy: "Got it, looks like I'm going to be in Homicide for a few years."

Ruiz: "Well, I told you in advance this time to prepare you mentally. The promotion to senior agent in the past two years was a bit too fast."

Jimmy: "Understandable, I know I don't have the qualifications to be promoted now. So when are you going to take over?"

Ruiz: "As I said, it will be about a month later, but David needs to come to my side in advance to familiarize himself with what we are going to do."

Jimmy: "What about you, Mahone?"

Ma Hong: "Wait for the notification from above, it is still unclear."

Jimmy: "OK, it seems that the next month or so will be very busy and chaotic. Have a drink, I think you will be very busy for a while."
-
Finally, Jimmy got reliable information, and he could know his location in advance, instead of waiting for Mrs. Mason to notify him before thinking about where to move.

On Friday, Mrs. Mason summoned Jimmy to her office, and accompanied by Isabel, announced Jimmy's decision to return to the field office, which was still the previous homicide squad.

Jimmy thanked Mrs. Mason and Isabel for their care and cultivation over the past few months. He will not forget the experience of working together during this period, and then came to the outside office area to share the news with everyone.

Jimmy hugged and said goodbye to everyone, and returned to the office to pack his things. Of course, he also called and ordered a sufficient amount of afternoon tea desserts, coffee, and milk tea to be delivered to the public affairs office. Thank you for your company for so long.

Jimmy carried the box back to the homicide team's office. There are still two people, Mahone and David, as before. In fact, the homicide team has never had many people. Shia, plus Jimmy, there are three people.

Mahone and David stood up to welcome Jimmy back. The group was finally assembled, and of course it was about to break up soon.

Jimmy arranged his personal belongings in the cardboard box, and then took out the tea set that had been dusty for a long time from a cabinet, "Haven't you used these tea sets before? And these tea leaves."

Ma Hong: "No way, no one will make your kind of tea."

Jimmy sighed, "OK, I'm going to clean these tea sets after get off work, and I need to replace all the tea leaves. They have been opened for several months, and they have already deteriorated."

Jimmy put the tea set on the coffee table and cleaned it after get off work. Then he cooked it several times and left the office after tidying it up.

On the weekend, Jimmy bought two kinds of tea from the place where he bought tea before he came to Chinatown. One is Lapsang Souchong and the other is the traditional green tea Longjing.

A new job, a new life, and it feels really good to be back in the field.

Jimmy and Nia went shopping during the day, watched movies at night, and of course had a good meal to celebrate their return to the field department and get rid of those incomprehensible official documents.

Jimmy also invited Mahone and David to his bar on weekend nights.This time is to celebrate my return to the field, and at the same time to get in touch with my future colleagues, but it seems that David does not know his follow-up arrangements. He is still talking to Jimmy about some recent cases.

The new week is here. Jimmy came to the office early in the morning and cleaned the desk and coffee table as usual. The tea set cleaned last Friday was disinfected again. Jimmy took out new tea leaves and brewed a pot. He drank tea slowly and read the newspaper. Waiting for Mahone and the others to arrive.

Soon, Mahone and David came to the office, so after clearing the table, the homicide team started the tradition of drinking tea and chatting early in the morning again.

Jimmy: "By the way, are there any ongoing cases?"

Mahon: "Well, there was a bakery explosion in Brooklyn. The explosion occurred at [-]:[-] am last Thursday. The test results can confirm that it was a flour dust explosion, but the ignition source has not been found yet.

Three people were killed in the bombing, two of them were bakery chefs, and the other was the nephew of the bakery manager. According to the bakery owner's statement, his nephew learned how to make pastries from the chef. "

Jimmy: "Did an accidental operation cause the flour to fly?"

Ma Hong: "It's not very likely. The flour in the bakery is in the storage room. Generally, they only use the amount they need to make bread. I asked another bakery nearby. They usually open at 3 in the morning. - Start making pastries at 4 and sell them in the morning."

Jimmy: "That's something to investigate."

Ma Hong: "Well, this case is for you."

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll apply for a car allocation later, Mahone, please call the administrative department for me."

Ma Hong: "Don't you have a car?"

Jimmy shrugged: "I was bombed before, and I didn't change the car after that. I always drive my own car."

Mahone: "Is that the rocket attack?"

Jimmy nodded, and David suddenly said: "The rocket attack case was taken away by DHS, what happened?"

Jimmy smiled, took a sip of tea, "Can you promise not to tell it?"

David nodded, and Mahone didn't move, but he also looked at Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Well, that case was actually a chain case. It started with a murder. My fiancée, Nia, and colleagues were in charge of the investigation. They found a lead, followed a gang member, and then I stepped in with the Vipers. People chatted..."

Anyway, there were no other cases, and Mahone and David were not in a hurry. They just drank tea and listened to Jimmy explain the case from the beginning to the end. Basically nothing is omitted.

David was satisfied that he could hear all the information, but Mahone seemed to have some thoughts: "Have you found their shooting range or practice range?"

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Hong in surprise, he found something suspicious. "That case was closed, by DHS, so..."

Ma Hong nodded, "It's understandable, okay, I'm going to the bathroom, it's time to go to work."

Jimmy: "OK, I'll clean it up."

Jimmy cleared away the tea set, and Mahone and David went to the bathroom.

After everything was cleaned up, Mahone gave the bombing file to Jimmy, "Let's take care of it."

Jimmy checked the information and found that the explosive detection report of the explosion site had been obtained. After all, it had happened a few days ago.

Now it can be confirmed that there is no trace of chemical bombs at the explosion site, and it can be confirmed that it was indeed a dust explosion, and the explosives were flour dust.But to reach the level of flour dust explosion, the proportion of dust in the room must be very high, if it is not intentional, it will generally not happen.

Jimmy looked at the information and went to the administrative department first. Tim Dunn had already known the news of Jimmy's return to the field in advance, so Jimmy just said that he needed a car, and Tim had already taken out a car key. , "It's ready for you, it's still Saabban, with hidden police lights and sirens, and a complete car radio."

Jimmy took the key with a smile, and hugged Tim: "Thank you, Tim. I'll buy you a drink when I have time."

Tim waved his hand: "It's fine to drink, you can use this car sparingly, and you change cars most frequently in the bureau."

Jimmy shrugged: "It can't be helped. The criminals I met were so brutal. If it was just a few shots, there was no need to change cars."

Tim: "Yes, a grenade exploded under the car, and the car was directly scrapped!"

Jimmy: "If there is such an exciting scene in the future, I'll put the car farther away in advance, okay. By the way, can we add a little more door modification? Only the main driver's bulletproof door is still a bit lacking."

Tim: "It is uniformly configured. The left and right sides of the front door are bulletproofed. As for the entire car being bulletproof, don't even think about it."

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll go first. I just got back to the homicide unit and I have a case to deal with, so I'm going to be busy again."

Tim and Jimmy shook hands and said goodbye: "Goodbye, be careful."

Jimmy returned to the office and re-investigated the information of the three deceased. It's not that he didn't believe the results of Mahone's previous investigation. Jimmy used to check by himself.

In the afternoon, Jimmy had just left the office for Brooklyn when he received a call to return to the office.

When Jimmy returned to the office, he came to the meeting room next to Hughes' previous office, where many people had already gathered.In addition to the leaders of several teams, there was a person in front of him that Jimmy rarely saw, the highest chief of the Manhattan Office Division, Special Agent in Charge (SAC) John Thompson.

Jimmy was already late because he had returned from the outside, and the departmental adjustment had already been announced. The result was similar to what Ruiz said before, with a little difference.

Peter Bolk just returned to the office today to start work. In the morning, a supervisor came from the headquarters in Washington DC and invited Peter.

Some high-level personnel have paid attention to Peter. He dealt with a corrupt senator. Although there were some twists and turns, he still earned a lot of face for the FBI, so he arranged for a director of the headquarters, Bruce, to invite Peter. Arrange for him to serve in DC.

But before going to DC, Peter needs to change to another office, next door to the offices of Hughes and Callaway.

Hughes' previous position was Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC). Peter did not refuse, so the afternoon job change was announced by Manhattan Office Director John Thompson.

At the same time, there was another change. Alexander Mahon was transferred from the homicide team to the white-collar team, taking over Peter's position. Of course, this transfer should have been arranged after Peter took office, but now it is directly announced by John, that is, they have communicated in advance .

After Jimmy Yang returned to the field department, he acted as an agent of the homicide team, which surprised others, but Peter and Mahone didn't respond, and the people below had nothing to say.

After the announcement, the supervisor John left the meeting room with his people, and everyone began to congratulate Peter, Mahone, and Jimmy, and the scene was very chaotic.

Originally planning to investigate the relatives and friends of the three deceased, but now he is too lazy to go out. Jimmy and Ma Hong went back to the homicide team directly, "Ma Hong, when will you move in?"

Ma Hong: "Tomorrow. From now on, you will be in charge of this place. Work hard, and you will probably become a regular soon."

Jimmy: "Don't worry, before you came, I was the only one in the homicide squad for a long time, so it's not a big problem."

Mahone nodded as he walked, "It seems that I will stay in New York for a long time."

Jimmy: "Of course, you can be regarded as a promotion this time, and maybe you will become the supervisor of Mahone in the future."

Ma Hong: "Well, let's buy an apartment later, do you have any suggestions?"

Jimmy: "Manhattan is more expensive, Brooklyn is cheaper, you don't want to go to Jersey City, do you?"

Mahone: "Brooklyn, go back and look for it."

Jimmy: "Actually, if Peter really went to DC..."

Mahone: "I'll find a real estate agent."

Jimmy: "OK, your house is up to you. By the way, you go to the white-collar team and pay attention to that Neil Caffrey. He doesn't do things very well, and he seems to have a lot of underworld friends."

Ma Hong nodded: "I will pay attention, Peter still needs to hand over to me, besides, he is still there now, you can ask him to confirm if you need anything."
-
Jimmy called to make an appointment for afternoon tea and celebrated with people from several departments. He checked the time and decided to wait until the next day to investigate.

The bakery bombing in Brooklyn is relatively easy to investigate. The owner, Jeffrey Adams, is a white male in his 50s. According to Mahon’s previous investigation, neighbors around the bakery and Jeffrey’s house rated Jeffrey Adams as “Jeffrey Adams.” Free is very sweet and friendly and a very good baker.

The chefs are Harry Thompson and Emily Russell, who are mentors and apprentices. Harry Thompson has worked for Jeffrey for nearly 10 years. He is the real veteran of this bakery and the boss behind Jeffrey. the second chef.

Emily Russell also studied with Harry Thompson for three years. She was a single mother and worked as a waiter before. Later, she learned baking from Harry and successfully applied for the job.

No.3 The deceased was Jeffrey Adams' nephew, Benjamin Scott, who had just been released from prison six months ago and had been sentenced to two years in prison for burglary.

Benjamin, who was released from prison, was still doing nothing. Jeffrey couldn’t stand it anymore, so he could only drag him to his own bakery to learn baking from Harry. At least let him have a craft. His skills, whether working for others or opening his own bakery, are much better than what he has now.

Their identities are very clear, which is already very good compared to Jimmy's previous cases. (end of this chapter)
