North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 589 Transfer of Cases
After a daze in the office for a while, the door of Jimmy’s office was knocked. Ruiz and Peter walked in from outside. Jimmy greeted them with a smile, “Why are you here together? Sit down and drink tea.”

Peter and Ruiz sat down, and Jimmy brought them glasses. Peter said, "Jimmy, the drug smuggling case you talked about last night is now handed over to Ruiz."

Jimmy: "Well, anyone can take care of it. It's more troublesome here. I'm the only one who can't follow."

Ruiz: "Well, the Black Diamond Gang may be involved this time, let's handle it, David will follow up. Do you want to deal with the murder case on your side together? They were also murdered because of smuggling of."

Jimmy: "I'll leave that Louis guy to you? And there are three gunmen in the hospital."

Ruiz nodded: "David also needs to practice his skills. Come over later and synchronize the previous investigation with David."

Jimmy: "What about you?"

Ruiz: "Let him follow up, and I will hand over gradually."

Jimmy looked at Peter: "Peter, have you confirmed the specific time?"

Peter nodded: "I'm going to DC at the end of next week."

Jimmy: "OK, let me sort out the report and give it to David together. By the way, Ruiz, what about Seventeen? He was also in the warehouse at the time."

Ruiz: "It depends. If it goes well this time, maybe he can come back."

Sure enough, Seventeen was not a gang member serving as an informant, but an undercover agent arranged by the FBI.

This can also explain that after Jimmy met Seventeen for the first time because of the investigation, Ruiz didn't let Jimmy contact him.

For the sake of their own safety, people who work undercover in gangs must have a single line of communication and will not let others intervene.Strictly speaking, it was already against the rules last time Ruiz introduced Seventeen to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Well, mainly because I'm worried that he might be implicated in that murder."

Ruiz: "Don't worry, he didn't intervene at all, he just watched from the sidelines. He is also the basis for Luiz's cooperation. If there is any abnormality, he is the best witness to let Luiz go to prison."

Jimmy nodded and looked at Peter: "Peter, have you decided who to take to DC?"

Peter nodded: "It has been submitted to DC to go through the process, and we can go there together at that time. Okay, let's talk about some personal matters, Jimmy, there is a party this weekend, you can come to it too."

Jimmy thought about his arrangement, nodded, "What about the time?"

Peter: "Let's go together after get off work on Friday night."

Jimmy nodded, this should be to see Peter off.

Ruiz: "OK, Jimmy, sort out the information as soon as possible, and I'll ask David to hand over to you as soon as possible."

After sending the two away, Jimmy cleaned up the tea set and began to return to the desk to organize the files.

In fact, his murder case has been solved, and the murderer is Marco, but there is no way to determine who the three deceased are, because the appearance and fingerprint information have been completely burned.

Marco, the only one who had seen them, was also dead. He had no documents, no fingerprints, and the only chance to determine their identities was DNA information, but there was no DNA corresponding to their immediate family members for reference, and no one could match them with specific people. people.

Jimmy sorted out the complete information, including photos of the fire scene and identification files, and packed two large folders. It was already afternoon.

He walked to Ruiz's office with the file in his arms, and David followed him in. Jimmy explained the file from beginning to end, and the case was successfully handed over.

Ruiz's office seems to have changed quite a bit. Now that many things have been packed up, including the bookshelves are basically emptied, it seems that he is also preparing for the transfer of his office.

David and Ruiz flipped through the file and nodded. David took the file out, leaving only Jimmy and Ruiz in the office.

Ruiz: "How does it feel to start a case again?"

Jimmy laughed a few times: "It's not bad, at least it's more comfortable than sitting in an office all day."

Ruiz: "Mrs. Mason gave you a good review. If you stay there for a while, you might become the deputy spokesperson."

Jimmy: "Actually, it feels good to be a spokesperson. Although I have only been a spokesperson once, I am still more used to handling cases, finding clues, catching them, or killing them."

Ruiz: "Well, you can just figure it out. I heard Dave say you have some special tasks to do?"

Jimmy nodded: "I'm not sure what the task is yet, we'll see later. When did Dave say that?"

Ruiz: "At noon today, it can be seen that he has a good impression of you. I know that you are a bit introverted, but if you have the opportunity, you still have to go to the front desk. In the next few years, you may need to be transferred to other places for a period of time. Remember to have good relationships with other people when the time comes.”

Jimmy was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

Ruiz: "Interdepartmental experience, you don't have to think about it yet, but you have to be mentally prepared."

Jimmy nodded, "I understand, it's too early to think about it now. I haven't been promoted to supervisory agent yet."

Ruiz smiled and waved to him, "Let's go back first."

In the evening, Jimmy and Nia chatted about their wedding preparations, including their suits and wedding dresses. Jimmy’s suit was okay, but Nia’s wedding dress was troublesome, except for the main wedding dress used for the wedding ceremony and photoshoot. And prepare at least two spare wedding dresses for occasions like receptions and proms.

Nia's wedding dress was selected together with her mother, Jimmy and Kevin's opinions were excluded, but it seems that not all styles have been decided yet.

To Jimmy, it seems that the wedding dresses are similar, but Nia and the others obviously don't think so. They have chatted with the designer several times recently, and the design drafts of the three wedding dresses are still not fully finalized.Of course, Jimmy fully supports Nia's decision, well, the mother-in-law's opinion can be ignored first, and his own opinion is invalid anyway, let Nia be happy first.

Watching the horror movie on TV, Jimmy suddenly remembered what Bishop Anderson said. He looked at Nia: "Nia, have you received any incomprehensible cases recently, such as demon possession?"

Nia rolled her eyes at Jimmy: "How can such an exaggerated case of demonic possession come from? It's just that some cases have no clues and cannot be solved. Have you watched a lot of horror movies recently?"

Jimmy shrugged: "Horror movies are actually nothing scary. Most of them are just full of blood. I'm talking about the kind of incomprehensible cases, such as... oh, the kind of sudden murder."

Nia shook her head: "I have no impression, this kind of thing is also normal, it is always inevitable that when a person has a psychopath, the killing instinct will emerge."

Jimmy: "Okay, please keep an eye on it for me. If there is any special case, give me a call."

Nia: "Are you okay? Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Jimmy thought about it, and came up with a justifiable reason: "I chatted with Bishop Anderson of the Archdiocese of New York this morning. When it came to the exorcism ceremony, he asked us to help find it. If there is such a situation, they Will do an exorcism."

Nia almost forgot that Jimmy is still a believer on the surface, but she is not a believer, so it is difficult for her to understand, "Okay, since you want to know, let me go back and check."

Jimmy: "You don't need to investigate deliberately, just let me know if you come across it, and I'll contact the priest to have a look."

Nia nodded, "I understand, don't worry."

For the wedding, Jimmy has completely given up on giving advice. The wedding venue and ceremony are handled by Kevin and his wife, and the wedding dress is chosen by Nia. He just took two body measurements and it's over.

During the engagement, it was an Italian designer contacted by the Continental Hotel. This time Nia and the others chose an American designer, but this designer went to school in France, so most of the clothes Jimmy saw when measuring his body data All French suits.

But Jimmy has no special requirements for these, as long as they are happy, he usually wears American and Italian suits, and every time he just orders two or three sets and throws them in the wardrobe for replacement.

When I returned to the office the next day, David suddenly came over near noon and said, "Jimmy, you've been to that home improvement company once, right?"

Jimmy: "Yes, I went to find the manager of their warehouse, an old man named Milly."

David nodded with an ugly face: "Yes, that's him. He committed suicide last night. He hanged himself in his bedroom and left a suicide note, saying that it was because his only relative, his nephew, died and his life was gone. significance."

Jimmy stood up in surprise, "Impossible, he has no feelings for his nephew at all. I have met him and talked to him about his nephew, and he didn't have any sad thoughts about his nephew's death at all."

David: "Indeed, I talked to his neighbor. His neighbor had no idea that he had such a nephew. Your material said that his nephew has been in New York for more than two years. It is obvious that he did not bring his nephew there at all. Others have no idea where you live.”

Jimmy: "Their manager knew that he arranged for his nephew to make a place to live in the warehouse."

David: "It has nothing to do with his nephew. This is obviously a murder. They knew that they had been caught smuggling drugs, so they killed the only warehouse manager and cut off all connections. I have arranged for people to control the company The management and their employee information have also been collected, and now only three workers cannot be contacted.”

Jimmy: "Have the cellphone records been investigated? Is there anything unusual at home?"

David: "The forensics department is investigating, and there is no result yet. I'm just here to confirm with you."

Jimmy: "I don't know what happened, but he would never kill himself for his nephew, I'm pretty sure of that."

David: "I understand, then I'll leave first. This case won't be the only trouble."

David turned and left, his expression still grim.He's only just starting to investigate, and it turns out the people he's directly connected to have been murdered, and their hands are too long and too fast.

In fact, there is still a big problem now. Why did the FBI know about the drug smuggling case just after they started investigating it?It's another news leak, but I don't know if it's just a news leak or if there is an insider.

Hey, this leaky agency, the FBI is a federal law enforcement agency, and it is an open agency. Even the information of the supervisors in various places is open, so it doesn't have such good secrecy methods like other agencies.It's just that generally speaking, news that is not very eye-catching gets out, and now this kind of drug smuggling case can be leaked, which is too much.

Jimmy sat on the swivel chair and looked at the computer screen. He could only sigh. Fortunately, the case was not in his hands now, and he did not need to handle the investigation by himself.

Let's take a look at the case, a body dismemberment case that has not yet been handed over to the FBI, but the NYPD has submitted the relevant information of the case for archiving, and the case is currently under temporary storage.

To the west of Manhattan is the Hudson River, and to the southeast is the East River, which is the East River. When the river cleaners were notified to clean up the garbage on the river surface, they found a thick black plastic bag. They thought it was just ordinary garbage. But when it was taken to the river to clean up, it was found that there was a leg body in the bag, and there was a small cement block inside.

It should have sunk to the bottom of the river, but due to the gas produced by the decomposition of the body, the expansion of the plastic bag increased the buoyancy. The cement block was not heavy and was directly carried by the plastic bag to float.

After the cleaning staff called the police, NYPD arranged for police detectives to go to the scene to investigate. They guessed that there should be more body fragments at the bottom of the river, so they contacted the Harbor Department of the New York City Parks and Recreation Department, temporarily blocked a small part of the river, and arranged for frogmen They went into the water to salvage and search, and finally found four body fragments, and the others were never found again.

The East River is not small, and it is impossible for them to search the entire East River. It is not easy to find these under the current situation.

The four body parts include the thigh parts of both legs and a section of an arm, but there is no fingerprint information and the identity cannot be directly determined.

What is currently certain is that there is a vague tattoo on one of the body parts. Although it has been corrupted, it still has a general shape. The NYPD has not yet finally identified this pattern, but Jimmy looks familiar.

Jimmy saw this pattern in the Intercontinental Hotel, to be precise, in the underground bar of the InterContinental Hotel.The bartender at the bar, Adi, has such a tattoo of a flower on his shoulder. Everyone loves beauties, so Jimmy took a closer look.

It would be interesting if it was really someone from the hotel.

Jimmy thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone and took a photo of the enlarged tattoo on the computer screen to keep. If there is a chance, he could consider asking. Although it is not his own case, if there is a specific situation and the case can be solved, Nia can also be asked. Take over the case and help her get a task target.

If it's a hotel matter and it's inconvenient to deal with, then forget it, just treat it as a message for them.
