North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 582

Mahone left the homicide squad, but David White is still there. He used to be in the anti-terrorism team. Later, because Jimmy and Mahone were seconded one after another, Hughes brought him over from the anti-terrorism team to temporarily handle the homicide team's case. After that, they stayed, but Jimmy was transferred to the field, and the two of them hadn't cooperated for a few days.

Now that Jimmy is going to take over the bombing case, David White will of course follow Jimmy to deal with it.He should have known about his subsequent arrangements in advance, so he didn't feel any resistance to Jimmy asking him to go out to investigate together. He simply wanted to stick to his post before leaving.

Jimmy and David came to the outside of the bakery where the explosion occurred. It was still locked down. A cordon was drawn outside, and the doors and windows were sealed to prevent the scene inside from being destroyed.

This is an apartment, but the bottom floor of the apartment is only a commercial building, and the residents have a separate entrance door next to it.

Because of the bombing, the area around here has been cordoned off. A few days later, there are still workers on site doing structural inspections of the house, which should have been arranged by the insurance company.

Jimmy entered the bakery, looked in the kitchen at the back, compared the explosion detection and schematic diagram in his hand, and determined the detonation point.

There is a fan wreckage in the corner. The technician speculates that a short circuit in the fan wire generated a spark and ignited the flour powder. No chemical explosives were detected in the explosive residue here.

From the perspective of the explosion itself, this is indeed reasonable, but the case of Mahon has not been closed because the dust explosion requires a high concentration, which is impossible for this kind of kitchen under normal circumstances.

The explosion completely messed up the kitchen. The kitchen utensils were deformed and scattered around the kitchen. The large oven was deformed. Some of the trays and the like were deformed and some were damaged. It can be seen that the intensity of the explosion was not low.

When Ma Hong and his team checked last week, they did not find the cause of the dust concentration breaking the scale, so they had to put it aside for now.

Jimmy: "David, did you investigate the families of the three deceased last week? Their relatives and friends."

David nodded: "I have investigated and found nothing abnormal, except for the boss' nephew who has just been released from prison for a few months, the other two chefs have no criminal record in recent years, and the most recent criminal record is more than ten years ago Do you also suspect that this is the scene of an explosion deliberately faked by someone?"

Jimmy: "Well, everything else can be said to be an accident, but the dust concentration is really hard to say."

David: "This is the only suspicious point here, otherwise the case would have been submitted for closure. How are you going to investigate?"

Jimmy: "Let's see if they have enemies. If they don't have enemies, it's best. If there are enemies, those who can use dust explosions are definitely not ordinary people."

David: "At least the current investigation has not found it. The identities of the two chefs who died are clean. Benjamin Scott was sentenced to prison for burglary before. In theory, he should not have such a big enemy."

Jimmy: "Go back and investigate again. By the way, did you investigate in the material warehouse at the back?"

David: "I probably checked it, and it's full of reserved cream, butter, flour and the like, and there's nothing unusual about it."

Jimmy: "Let's go, go back to the office first."

David smiled and left the scene with Jimmy.

After watching the scene, Jimmy speculates that he is familiar with the hotel and has done a lot of investigations. They have professionals who can make special requirements, such as making people die by accident.

But this kind of talent is usually targeted at special assassination missions arranged by others, and most of them are rich or people with special status. What should an ordinary bakery like this pay attention to?

He observed with his mind just now, and found no dark room or anything like that in this bakery.The only thing that wasn't seriously damaged by the explosion was the material warehouse at the back. They took a look and found that it was indeed affected inside, but there were still a lot of materials that didn't seem to be serious.

Back at the office, Jimmy retrieved all the information of the three deceased, and checked all the related relatives, but found nothing unusual. The bakery owner Jeffrey Adams was also in a mess, except for some traffic tickets. , there is no record of any other crime.

Benjamin, the only one who has been in prison, has only one prison record, and no other criminal records.

This case was very strange. He clearly sensed a problem, but couldn't find any clues. Jimmy also confirmed that there were no supernatural phenomena that had been discovered before.

After struggling with the case for two days, Jimmy visited the deceased and the owner of the bakery, but still got nothing.

Still under David's persuasion, the case was abandoned, because if the case was not closed, the insurance company would not be able to complete the damage assessment and the complete structural inspection of the house, and a bunch of people were waiting. There is no way to keep dragging.

In the end, a closing report could only be submitted based on the cause of the explosion given by the testing center, and the case was shelved.

The first case just returned to the field ended with such an imperfect result. Although Jimmy was upset, he had no choice but to go to the bar for a drink or two after get off work, and chat with Isaac and Woody to relax.

When I got home, seeing Jimmy’s slightly drunken appearance, Nia knew that he was going to the bar again. While Jimmy was taking off his coat, Nia took out Jimmy’s glass, put a handful of tea, and put the burner The kettle was turned on, and when Jimmy came out of the bathroom, the water was already boiling.

Nia poured boiling water into the glass, "What's wrong? You don't look happy?"

Jimmy: "Hey, the first case back to the field, the case is closed, but there are still some things I can't figure out."

Niya: "As long as the case is closed, don't think so much. There are still many cases on our side that cannot be closed even if they are closed."

Jimmy: "Well, I'm just a little unhappy, nothing. How are you doing today?"

Nia: "It's still the same, the case is never finished."

Jimmy: "By the way, have you told Kevin and the others about our plan to buy a house?"

Nia: "Well, I said it a few days ago. My dad meant to buy it after we got married. You know, couples file tax returns together, and there are marriage tax benefits."

Jimmy nodded. He hadn't considered it before, but since it was what Kevin meant, let's put it in the back. It is nothing more than the difference between personal property and joint property of husband and wife. As long as there is no divorce, it is not a problem.

Nia: "By the way, I heard something today. Four students were traveling together. Their families reported to the police. They lost contact three days ago. The last contact was when one of them gave a message to the family on Saturday night. Made a phone call and couldn't be reached after that."

Jimmy: "Missing? Where did they disappear?"

Nia: "The last time they contacted, they went to Lake Ontario and made a call by the lake in Rochester."

Jimmy: "That can't be helped, just send an investigation notice to the Rochester police station. Hey, 10 people go missing in the whole country every year, and only a few can be found. Just wait for them to contact you."

Niya: "The main reason is that they are only in their senior year, and they are about to graduate and enter the society. When they disappear at this time, their family members are going crazy."

Jimmy: "If you don't die, you won't die. When you go out to travel, you must find a well-developed scenic spot. No one can guarantee that people who run around randomly will not encounter emergencies. There are no mobile phone signals in many places. When something goes wrong, no one can help them."

Nia slapped Jimmy across the face: "Why don't you have any sympathy?"

Jimmy picked up the tea and tested the water temperature: "It's not that I don't have sympathy, but I've read too many files, and I've seen this kind of situation so many times that people are numb.

The FBI has released data before. The number of missing people reported in China fluctuates between 12 and [-] each year, and quite a few of them went out for travel and lost contact.It's a pity that no one thinks that this kind of loss of contact will happen to them. They don't pay attention to various notifications at all, and they don't prepare backup plans and rescue plans for themselves. "

Nia sighed, they are the police, and they know more about things that have not been announced than most people.The natural environment in various national parks in the United States is really good. Every year, many people get lost or fall in the park, are attacked by wild animals, or encounter criminals. It usually takes a long time for their family members to call the police. I want to find it, but I don't know where to look for it.

Nia thought for a while and asked, "Do you have such a plan for finding missing persons?"

Jimmy frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't have the impression, maybe I have participated in relatively few groups. Regarding the missing persons, what I have the impression is that the headquarters will compile the reported data from each police station every year, and then Post the total once."

Nia: "What about your investigators?"

Jimmy: "If you deal with it yourself near the station, if it is far away or there is no branch, contact the local police station or state police to assist in the investigation. Usually, if it is not particularly important, we will not go to the scene.

New York is an exception. Your NYPD covers a relatively wide area. If you want to investigate someone, you will probably contact your local branch and ask them to send patrol officers to investigate first, and then our people will go to the scene. "

Nia: "Well, it seems that we can only wait for the reply from the Rochester Police Department, but it is estimated that it will not be soon."

Jimmy picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Well, just wait for the news. If there are people you are familiar with, you can consider investigating them. For those who are irrelevant, just follow the process."

Nia picked up her cup and thought for a while, "If we talk about familiar people, there is one, but it's not among the four of them. Do you still remember my two former classmates who were models?"

Jimmy thought for a while, "I have an impression, I saw it in the bar, right?"

Nia: "Well, one of them seems to have not appeared for a while, and there was no reply to AIM's message."

Jimmy: "They are models. They probably have activities to attend or go abroad."

Nia: "I don't know, but we don't usually see each other. Usually, they come back when they have activities in New York. They are usually in Los Angeles. Well, let's not talk about them. They should wait for Christmas Will be returning to New York."

Jimmy: "Everyone is an adult and has their own lives. Maybe she just has a bad life and doesn't want to contact other people. After all, she has been working for many years, and it is understandable what happened."

Nia nodded: "It's just that there are fewer and fewer contacts with old classmates. Many of them don't even have their contact information."

Jimmy: "I really miss them, so I'll take advantage of the long Christmas holiday to hold a class reunion with them. I guess most of them will be free by then."

Nia: "What about you? Haven't you contacted your former classmates?"

This question directly stopped Jimmy, where did he come from an old classmate.Nia: "By the way, it seems that none of your classmates came when we got engaged last time."

Jimmy: "Um, you know, my career determines that I can't contact those former classmates. Well, there is no way under special circumstances."

Nia: "But now you're an FBI agent, and you're definitely good at this job."

Jimmy: "Come on, I'm afraid I'll throw them all in jail if I get excited."

Nia was really speechless. What did Jimmy's former classmates look like? They didn't seem to be on the right track.

The next day, Jimmy still came to the office early, before it was time to go to work, so he just made tea and read the newspaper to kill time.In fact, it's not that he wants to come so early every day, the main reason is that now he needs less and less sleep time, and it's boring to lie in bed after waking up, so it's better to get up and make some breakfast, and then go out early.

During work hours, Ruiz came over to see Jimmy. He needed to deal with things that had been arranged in advance. David White needed to get familiar with the anti-gangster team as soon as possible. According to the above arrangement, the time left for Peter was only a little more than a month. If you want to sort out the huge data and relationships of the Anti-Mafia Group, it is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Jimmy: "Ruiz, I have no problem with David's past, but I don't have anyone here anymore."

Ruiz: "Don't worry, I will tell him about Peter, and I will arrange for you when I pick out new people."

Jimmy: "Hey, you are all bosses, you have the final say. Drink tea."

There is Jimmy, a pure Chinese, here. Over the past few years, these people have really gotten used to drinking tea, at least not in the state of drinking tea that tastes weird at the beginning and never touches it again.

Ruiz: "By the way, there is one more thing. I heard the news from the informant that your information has been leaked. Some people are very afraid, but there are also many people who plan to use you as a pawn." Those on the stepping stone, be careful."

Jimmy: "Stepping stones? Gangster gunmen have this ability? I don't quite believe it."

Ruiz: "Don't underestimate them, these rat-like people may hide somewhere and shoot you in the back."

Jimmy: "I understand, do you have a goal?"

Ruiz shook his head: "No, there is just such a rumor, you know, this group of gangsters are completely inaccurate in their words. Unless the mission requires you to be killed within a time limit, no one knows what they think. "

Jimmy: "Let's do whatever they want. As long as anyone dares to stretch their claws, I'll cut them off. If they don't want to be implicated in the whole gang, they'd better be smart."

Ruiz sighed, how could someone like Jimmy think that killing him would increase his reputation, and it would be a miracle if he survived.
