North American Gunslinger Detective

Anne Foster, unmarried, with no criminal record, lives in the East Village of Manhattan, not far from Jimmy. Her family information is registered in the system, but her family is not in New York.

Jimmy also called her phone number, but it was turned off and could not be connected.

Because Annie does not have any criminal record, all Jimmy can query is basic information, including personal information, driver's license and other information. If he wants to continue investigating bank card information, he will need authorization from the above. This case is not originally from the homicide team. Case, privately investigating a specific person's private information is a violation, and Jimmy doesn't want to get involved in this for the time being.

As for going directly to the scene to investigate by yourself, it is not convenient. It is unreasonable for FBI agents to come to your home just to confirm whether the person is at home, and the FBI's visit will trigger very bad associations with others.

After thinking about it, Jimmy called Nia directly and asked her to help investigate in the NYPD database. By the way, he contacted a nearby patrol officer to visit her residence.

Nia checked the information, frowned at the monitor, picked up the phone and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this person?"

Jimmy: "Just checking to see if she's missing. A friend asked me to help confirm. Her phone number can't be reached."

Nia: "We have been together for three years, how come I didn't know you still have a friend who is a singer?"

Jimmy frowned: "I will explain it to you when I get back. Help me find a patrolman to come and take a look."

Nia: "Okay, I'll wait for you to give me an explanation. As a singer, a jazz singer, I've never seen you listen to jazz."

Jimmy really hadn't heard much about jazz, but Isaac and Woody in his bar really liked it. An old jazz club had reopened before, and the two of them had taken the time to go there a few times.

Nia didn't delay anything. She checked Anne Foster's address and contacted a familiar patrol officer. She only needed to adjust the patrol route. Anyway, the patrol officer would drive on the street every day to patrol. It won’t be a waste to take a look at this place.

It is a routine business for patrol officers to come to do welfare checks. If someone calls the police, they can arrange for the police to deal with it. Their reasons are easy to find.

Soon, Nia received a call from the patrol. Anne Foster was not at home. She checked with the neighbors. They had not seen Anne for several days and thought she was on a business trip or traveling.

But even though she didn't meet anyone, it wasn't completely fruitless. Her neighbor provided Annie with a place to work, a jazz club in Greenwich Village. She would occasionally perform on stage at that club, and she was quite popular.

Annie is not an ordinary resident singer, but a well-known jazz musician. She has also released two jazz albums, but they are not widely circulated, but she is definitely talented and has a good relationship with her neighbors.

After Nia and the patrolman confirmed the situation, they thought about it and went directly to Jimmy's office.

Jimmy was still very surprised when he saw Nia coming over. He said on the phone just now that he would explain to her in the evening. Why can't he wait for so long?
Nia looked at Jimmy's office. He had moved to Mahone's original position. The other two office seats were still empty. "Are you the only one in this office?"

Jimmy shrugged: "The newcomers haven't been arranged yet. It's too chaotic at this time. We can arrange it when Ruiz comes up. Why are you here?"

Nia: "Look what you are doing, why are you going to see that Annie?"

Jimmy: "Did your guys check it? How's it going?"

Nia: "She's not at home, the phone can't be reached, and the neighbor said she hasn't seen her in a few days."

Jimmy nodded slightly. It seemed that his guess was right. Now it is more and more likely to find out the identity of the victim of the dismemberment case.

Jimmy turned on the computer and called up the case information, "Look at this case, it has been temporarily put on hold by you, but it has not been handed over to us."

Nia glanced at it: "I haven't seen this case." As she flipped through the information, Nia's expression became worse and worse, especially the photos of the mutilated corpse case. The rotten corpses were really not good-looking. The impact on people is still huge.

Nia: "How did you determine your identity?"

Jimmy: "I've seen similar tattoos before, so I took some time to investigate."

Nia: "Are you sure?"

Jimmy: "Not yet. I originally thought that if the case was solved, I would let you take over it. The tattoo artist checked his customer records and found that there were not many customers with fleur-de-lis tattoos on their legs. Two of them could not be contacted. On, Anne is one of them.”

Nia: "What about the other one?"

Jimmy: "The mobile phone number has been cancelled. I definitely can't contact him. I can't identify who he is with just his name."

Nia: "Then what should we do next?"

Jimmy: "The only way to determine the identity is to find Anne Foster first."

Nia glanced at the screen, got up and left Jimmy's desk: "Let's forget about this case. There are no clues at all. It really needs to be dealt with. It must take a lot of time and it's not worth it."

Jimmy chuckled and said: "This was originally prepared for you. If you don't want to take this case, forget it. Have tea. Are you in a hurry to go back?"

Nia watched Jimmy making tea skillfully, "How about I prepare a set for you at home."

Jimmy: "No, you have to have a good rest at home. Use a glass cup to drink tea. This kind of Kung Fu tea is too troublesome, so it's okay to use it in the office."

Nia: "Well, let's get some more snacks, and we can have afternoon tea right here."

Jimmy: "Forget about snacks. This is an office after all. But it's okay. I'll go back and get some nuts or something."

Nia drank two cups of tea and then got up and left. It was still working time now, so don't fish so blatantly.

Jimmy didn't clean up, and continued to sit and drink tea. If Nia didn't want to take up the case, then forget it, and there is no need to continue the investigation.

One person is missing. There are too many people missing in New York every year. This one is not bad. The case of the disappearance of the four college students that Nia told Jimmy before has not yet been resolved.

But Jimmy didn't expect that he would really cause trouble for them by asking Nia to arrange someone to check Annie's house.The Jazz Club had been unable to contact Annie for several days. The day after the patrol left, they arranged for someone to come to Annie's home to look for her, but of course no one was found.The neighbor said that the police came and found no one. The club directly called 911 to report to the police. Their partner was missing.

In this way, the case came to the NYPD again, and they communicated with each other. Others found out that Nia had arranged for people to investigate, and the disappearance case was in her hands again.

When Nia went home at night, she hit Jimmy directly. Although the blow didn't hurt, she still had to let it out.

The disappearance case is not a big problem. Rely on the current information and contact her family and friends to confirm, and then investigate the ticket information and so on. In most cases, the case can be closed, even if there are no clues.

But this disappearance case was derived from the case of mutilated corpses, and Jimmy had previously judged that those corpses were probably Annie.It's okay if you don't take over the case. Since you have taken over the case, it must be finished, which means that the investigation of the mutilated corpse case will also continue.

Jimmy was a little stunned by Nia's beating at first, and when he knew the reason, he was speechless.His original plan was to give it to Nia after finding suitable clues, confirm the identity of the deceased, and determine the direction of the case investigation. If he could not find suitable clues, he would just give up so as not to make things difficult for Nia. Now It seems that there is something wrong with my plan again.

Jimmy: "Let me investigate. There just haven't been any cases recently."

Nia gritted her teeth and looked at him: "Of course you have to join in the trouble you caused. Do you have any plans?"

Jimmy: "Contact Annie's family to confirm. If there are no clues, ask them to come over and do a DNA test."

Nia: "What if it's really her?"

Jimmy: "At least we can give them some definite news without having to wait for several years. As for the mutilation case, there are too few clues now, and it is very likely that there will be no result in the end."

Nia: "Okay, that's all."

The next day, Nia went back to the office to contact Anne Foster's family, and Jimmy went back to the office to investigate the information. In addition to Anne Foster's information, there was also information about the club where she performed.

Just preparing for the FBI office, Jimmy saw David who had just walked out next to the elevator. His right arm was bandaged and hung around his neck. It seemed that there was something wrong with his arm.

Jimmy stopped David: "David, what's wrong?"

David shook it with his left hand: "It was an accident. I was injured when I arrested the suspect. It's okay. It looks serious, but it's actually just fixed so that I can recover as quickly as possible."

Jimmy: "Is that the smuggling case?"

David nodded: "Yes, didn't three people disappear during the previous investigation? One of them has been found. There was an accident during the arrest, but he has been caught. Now we are waiting for the interrogation results."

Jimmy: "Congratulations, it looks like this case will be over soon."

David: "Well, that company is currently facing a big problem. Several people in their company have gang backgrounds. The gangs used their company's identity to obtain import licenses, transporting materials and finished furniture from Southeast Asia, and the drugs were packaged in them. Furniture in wooden frame.

We investigated their previous clients and found a hollowed-out wooden frame on one of their sofas. "

Jimmy: "Did the Black Diamond Gang do it?"

David: "Well, they are one of them. We will talk about it later when the case is solved. I will go to work first."

Jimmy: "Bye, have a good rest."

David was in the anti-terrorism team before, and faced all potential terrorists. Logically speaking, his fighting ability should not be weak. Now it seems that the person they went to arrest is not weak.This time they were just arresting one person, but they actually injured their right arm. It seemed that the person they faced this time was of high ability.

However, Seventeen, the insider, seems somewhat unqualified. Ruiz was not notified of such a major matter at all. This was accidentally discovered by Jimmy's case. If it weren't for the people in the forensic department, they probably still wouldn't be able to do it now. It's normal smuggling.

Jimmy was thinking about it while driving. No matter how he looked at it, this smuggling case was weird.

Did Shi Qi really not know that they were smuggling like this?The address of the warehouse was not discovered by Louis, but was contacted by Louis when he was looking for Marco. In other words, it should be the warehouse where Seventeen took Louis.

There are two smuggling cases here. One is Marco and his friends smuggling luxury goods and perfume, and the other is gangsters using the name of the company to import furniture. Are these two cases related to Seventeen?
For an FBI agent who has been undercover in gangs for many years, his involvement in smuggling luxury goods and smuggling drugs have completely different meanings. One is just a less harmful smuggling activity to cover his identity, and the other is a complete drug smuggling.

Jimmy parked the car on the side of the road and went to a coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee. He just stood by the car drinking coffee and watching the flow of people and traffic.Do you want to communicate with Ruiz?Have they thought of this?
It's a bit tangled. This is a very serious accusation for an undercover agent. If he is not the mastermind or the main participant in the final investigation, but he didn't report it because of insufficient information, then it's okay. Once it is confirmed that Seventeen is directly involved, then he will Completely finished.

Not only will Shiqi face legal proceedings, but the FBI will also be under great pressure. Whether it is public opinion or internal investigations, it will be very troublesome. It is possible that Ruiz will also be dragged into the water, because Shiqi is directly responsible for the docking.

Ruiz has not officially taken over yet. This time is very critical. If someone causes trouble here, it may have serious chain reactions later.

Jimmy drank the coffee, threw the paper cup into the trash can, got in the car, and turned around to return to the office.There is no rush in investigating disappearances and mutilation cases. The most important thing is to resolve the big internal troubles first.

Instead of going straight back to the office, Jimmy called Ruiz when he was nearby, "Ruiz, are you free now?"

Ruiz: "I'm in the office, you can come over."

Jimmy: "No, I'm outside. I have something I want to talk to you about in person, about Seventeen."

Ruiz: "You don't have to follow this case. David will handle it."

Jimmy: "No, it's not the case, but his identity and subsequent events..."

Ruiz interrupted Jimmy directly: "Needless to say, I understand what you are thinking, and David will handle it. Jimmy, you must trust your colleague's ability to do things. Although you discovered this case, it has now been assigned to David, he'll take care of it. Any other questions?"

Jimmy choked on Ruiz's words and didn't know what to say for a moment, "Okay, I get it. I hope he is doing well. Goodbye, Ruiz."

Ruiz: "Goodbye." After saying that, Ruiz hung up the phone directly. (End of chapter)
