North American Gunslinger Detective

After sending Ruiz away, Jimmy sat back on the sofa, thinking about Ruiz's words.

There is actually something wrong with what he said. King Bowery has a lot of videos. Even if the information from other gangs is not that well-informed, theoretically they should know about the complete collapse of the Viper Gang under the FBI's attack.Why would anyone want to use Jimmy as a stepping stone now?

Moreover, Jimmy has been in the public affairs office for several months and has just returned to the field. How could such news come out so suddenly?If they were really investigating Jimmy, they would have figured it out months earlier.

Lately, sources, Jimmy thought of that guy in jail, could it be him?

No, Curtis is not a fool. He should know that leaking his information will definitely cause trouble. Is that the person who helped him go to the hotel to get the information?
No matter how you think about it, it's not right, how big of a problem you have to be in your head to tell others the contents of your file?

This matter became more and more wrong, but Jimmy had no way to deal with the hidden dangers in advance.

The current news comes from Ruiz, which is within the scope of the anti-mafia group. As long as they don't attack Jimmy, Jimmy can't deal with them directly. At least he needs to discuss it with the anti-mafia group.

Ruiz's anti-mafia group is actually very high-profile now. The so-called five major mafia in New York have been cleaned up for a round since 2000. Others are also gradually collecting evidence, trying to further break through the firewall and put What the people below do is linked to their superiors, so that there is enough evidence to get rid of them.

According to the current situation, the so-called five major mafia groups should destroy their foundations one after another in the next few years until they are all demolished. The rest are small gangs fighting on their own. The threat of these people is Much lower.

Ruiz's promotion to Assistant Detective Superintendent wasn't just due to time and rank. His record was also very impressive.

The gangsters in New York are well-known in the United States. Ruiz can make so many achievements in such an environment. Ruiz is actually supported by his achievements. to have the same status as Peter.

Now wait for Peter to act as an agent for a period of time, then go to the DC headquarters to take up a post, and at the same time be promoted, Ruiz can take over smoothly.

Jimmy was thinking about these issues while drinking tea. After David came over, he tidied up and sat back at his desk.

Only one day later, David also packed up and moved, and Jimmy was the only one left in the Homicide Squad office.The newcomer has not been arranged yet, and Jimmy has not applied to Peter. He is still only a supervisory agent and has not been promoted to an assistant detective supervisor. Just wait for it step by step.

Jimmy is not in a hurry now. When Ruiz takes over, it won't be easy for him to want a trainee agent.

In fact, it is impossible to be completely free, and another vicious case was sent to the Manhattan office.

Three bodies were found in a third-floor room where the fire broke out in an apartment building in Harlem, Manhattan, after the fire department doused it.After the fire station personnel sent the bodies to the medical examiner's office, the medical examiner's preliminary examination of the bodies found that two of them had bullet holes, while the third body had its neck broken by force.

Due to the fire, the room has been destroyed, and the location of the body in the room was also destroyed by the people from the fire department to clean up and inspect the room. There are not many available clues, and the NYPD police department directly reported the case to the FBI.

Although this seems to be just a murder case, the NYPD can also handle it, but now that Jimmy has no case in hand, he will take the next step in this case.

Murder plus arson is considered a vicious murder case, and the FBI will definitely have no problem taking over.

The medical examiner's office still needs to line up for a detailed autopsy, but the clothes of the corpse have been burned, and the things on the body have also been burned. There is no document to prove his identity, so what Jimmy has at present is only the roughest initial examination, and there are no clues .

Jimmy drove to Harlem, which is just north of the Upper East Side and Upper West Side, and also belongs to Manhattan. The law and order here is not as good as that of the Upper East Side and Upper West Side, and there are many gang activities.

Jimmy put on disposable gloves and was assisted by an NYPD police officer to enter the room where the fire started.He was holding a folder in his hand. Here were the photos taken by the fire station when the body was discovered. After moving the body, the scene was no longer the same as the photo. Jimmy still needed to compare the photos with the scene one by one to confirm the body. Original location.

Jimmy looked at the scene, called back to the office, and called a group of support agents to check the surrounding environment by the way.Two bodies were shot, so if this is the first scene, there are likely to be clues such as bullet casings hidden under the ashes, and Jimmy alone cannot search them thoroughly.

On-site investigation is very cumbersome and needs to be handled very carefully, and it consumes a lot of time. The place has been burned to the ground, and the furniture in the house has been destroyed. Fortunately, the building is a masonry building, at least the main frame is still there .

After clearing the ashes and charred furniture, Jimmy and the others finally found a shell casing and two Glock pistols in the living room of the room.The forensics department took them back for inspection. Unfortunately, due to the high temperature, there were no fingerprints left on the bullet casings. As for the Glock, the gun numbers could no longer be distinguished, so there was no way to determine who the owners of the two pistols were.

Fortunately, they have determined that the bullet type is a 9mm pistol bullet, so they have a rough range of the gun used by the gunman.

Jimmy immediately arranged for some agents to look around for available surveillance probes, and at the same time questioned the surrounding neighbors to determine the identity of the person in this room.

Returning to the FBI office, Jimmy investigated the real estate data of the New York City Hall, confirmed the landlord's information, and called directly.Unfortunately, this place is also rented out. The landlord has confirmed that his family does not live there, but the information of the specific tenant needs to be checked. He only remembers one name.

The landlord searched the original rental contract, and the names of the tenants reported back were fake. Jimmy did not find the corresponding personnel in the personnel database at all. Since the rent was paid in cash, he did not even have bank account information.

Although it is wrong to pay the rent in cash, it is suspected of tax evasion, but this has nothing to do with Jimmy, and now we still have to find a way to find out the identities of them.

The neighbor provided information that the resident of that room owned a motorcycle, and relevant fingerprints should be extracted.

Finally, Jimmy got the first clear identity based on the fingerprints on the motorcycle, Marco Calpe, a member of the gang, a soldier of the Rotariano family, that is, the lowest level of official members.

This kind of relationship still requires Ruiz to help investigate the information. The Rotariano family is not one of the so-called five major families. Correspondingly, their information is not as complete as those families.

Ruiz still investigated very carefully, made several phone calls, and finally confirmed the relationship with Marco.

Luis Montero, Marco's superior, the head of the horn.

Jimmy got Montero's information, and he and David went directly to a high-rise apartment in Harlem.

David was able to intervene because this case involved official gang members, and it was probably the beginning of a gang case. Ruiz didn't plan to do it himself, but it was good for David to get in touch with some gangs.Besides, they have Ruiz as their backing, and they are easy to mobilize when they need support.

With the passage of time, gangsters have also kept pace with the times. The era of making protection money all over the street is over. Now they are more engaged in illegal trade to make money, and then use various disguised legal businesses To launder money, so the upper class people basically have normal occupations in name to cover up their identities.

Jimmy and David showed their IDs and entered the apartment building smoothly, all the way to the outside of Luis Montero's room.Jimmy and David stood on both sides of the door, one on the left and one on the right. David reached out and knocked on the door, "Boom, boom," "FBI."

When David knocked on the door, Jimmy had already begun to observe the situation inside.This Luis Montero is apparently the owner of a chain of laundries, and of course he has a lot of money.The room in his apartment looks quite big, it should be more than 120 square meters. At least from Jimmy's sight, there are more than 3 rooms here.

There are five people in the house, three big and two small. One of the two adults is in the living room and the other is in a bedroom inside.

The person in the living room came over and opened the door of the apartment. Because of the anti-theft chain, there was only a small gap to see the outside. The woman who opened the door looked outside suspiciously, "Who are you?"

David and Jimmy showed their IDs: "Senior FBI agent David White, Jimmy Young. We're looking for Mr. Luis Montero."

Woman: "Sorry, my husband is not at home, please come back in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, she was about to close the door.

Jimmy put his feet against the door, "Ma'am, you can discuss with Louis before answering our questions. I know he is at home. Please."

After speaking, Jimmy withdrew his feet and the door closed smoothly.

The lady walked into the room and said something to the people inside. Jimmy saw that the person sitting in the bedroom got up, and they walked over together. With a "click", the anti-theft chain was unlocked, and the door was also opened.A bearded man appeared at the door, "I'm Luis Montero, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Two things, one, there is a murder and arson case with three dead, one of them should be your subordinate Marco Calpe, I need you to contact his family to the medical examiner's office to confirm the body, and at the same time need to do A DNA verification.

Two, I need your cooperation to think about whether he or any of your enemies would do such a thing.

Once these two issues are dealt with, we'll talk about other issues. "

Louis looked at Jimmy and suddenly asked: "Are you that Jimmy? You know what I'm talking about."

Jimmy: "I'm that Jimmy."

Louis glanced at David and then at Jimmy, "Deal. Give me some time."

Jimmy put his hand into the inner pocket of his suit, and Louis visibly tensed up, only to relax when he saw that he was taking out a business card.

Jimmy handed the business card to Louis, "Call me if you have any news. Please hurry, I have limited time."

Louis: "Of course, I won't invite the two of you into the room, goodbye."

After saying that, Lewis took two steps back, closed the door, hung up the anti-theft chain, then turned around in the room and stood there thinking about something.

Jimmy glanced at David and shrugged, "Let's go, let's go back and wait for the news."

It's not that Jimmy doesn't want to forcefully take the person back for questioning, but there is no evidence or suspicion, and as the FBI, he can't take the person back directly.

He was just gambling. Since Ruiz said before that his information in the gang was leaked, then as a mafia family, even a small mafia family should be able to get some information. He just wanted to see if he had any This face allows them to cooperate.

Fortunately, it seems that everyone who can be a leader is still online. Louis even confirmed his identity with Jimmy, so this matter is going to be successful.

Marco Calpe's information is not complete in the system. He is apparently an orphan, but Jimmy knows the style of the Mafia. Now that Marco has become a formal member, it is at least certain that the Mafia family has been identified. At least one of his parents is Italian, which means he knows his family situation.

It is up to them to investigate Marko's family, and then extract DNA from the three burnt corpses to determine which one is Marko himself. As for the other two people, they still need to find a way to confirm.
