North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 603 Time-limited tasks
Jimmy was aware of Ruiz's concerns. He had just taken over, and now he was being pressured by people above him to solve the problem as soon as possible. Obviously, this so-called boss was definitely not just a senior government manager, but did not even exclude people like mayors and councillors.

Jimmy has nothing to do. As he said before, although there are two people now, the evidence cannot be closed yet, and he still needs to wait for the reports from the forensics department and the laboratory.

Jimmy's guess was correct. After ballistic comparison, the gun seized at the scene of the playground shooting was not the one that did not match the first park shooting. This meant that the park shooting case could not be closed, and the gun still needed to be found. The second gunman in the case.

The identity of the second person at the amusement park this time has also been confirmed. Joseph Carter, a former Ranger, has been retired for two years. He also received psychological treatment under the arrangement of VA, but compared with Daniel, he was more miserable. His family He was killed in a serious accident while he was serving, and he was not married. Although he didn't know if he had a girlfriend, he was indeed alone now.

A considerable number of these American soldiers who have been stationed abroad have various psychological problems after returning and retiring, so the VA basically has records of them.Some people who have financial or family problems will also choose some free psychological treatments, which are also good materials for writing articles later. Of course, they cannot all be free. At most, they can find some cooperative institutions to offer discounts.

There is something wrong with the two people discovered this time. They are two retired soldiers and both have psychological problems. How could they come together to launch such a mass shooting similar to a terrorist attack?

Jimmy: "Mark, go check with Daniel and Joseph's psychiatrist. Also check with the VA to find out what the relationship is between the two of them, who introduced them to each other, and where they met... in short. Find out if there is anyone behind this group pushing them to commit such random shootings."

Mark nodded and Jimmy said, "Julia, you have nothing to investigate right now, let's go together."

Jimmy gave Mark the car keys again, and when they went out, Mark must have been the driver.

Jimmy asked the two of them to come forward to investigate, hoping to make them independent as soon as possible. One of the two was a technician and the other was a soldier. They basically did not have much experience in handling cases. This kind of work that only investigated basic information was just suitable for them to increase their experience. It would be better if they could expand their thinking after getting the clues and continue the investigation based on the clues.

He had often done this kind of thing before taking the initiative to deal with clues in the case. If the two of them had this idea, then Jimmy would definitely have no objection. If they could act alone, it would be easier for Jimmy to be the team leader.

It was getting close to get off work and Mark and the others hadn't come back yet. Jimmy called and asked about the situation. There were no obvious clues yet. They were still continuing their investigation. It was obvious that their subjective initiative seemed to be really activated.

Jimmy checked the time, went back to change clothes after get off work, and then drove to Nia's house.Nia called Jimmy in advance. Her grandfather would also be coming today and needed to be with him.

After coming here more often, Jimmy now completely considers this place his home, and there is nothing to be nervous about.After chatting with the old man for a while, while having dinner, Kevin asked Jimmy to free up some time recently. As the end of the year approaches, there will be more activities. If appropriate, he will message Jimmy in advance and go there together.

Of course Jimmy nodded in agreement. To him, Kevin was really out of sight.There may not necessarily be anything gained from participating in the event, but no one knows if something like this will happen in the future.

In addition, Jimmy's registration for further studies in school has also made progress, but unlike his previous thoughts, Jimmy's previous investigation was not accurate. He originally wanted to study law, but the prerequisite for a master's degree in law is a master's degree in law. His current degree There is no way to continue studying. If you really want to pursue a master's degree in law, you need to at least supplement your undergraduate degree with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, which will take 3-4 years to complete.

Kevin gave some advice. Psychology is relatively better, and a master's degree in psychology is relatively easier than law.

Kevin has already inquired for Jimmy, so let's do it. Jimmy nodded and inquired, and the subsequent process began.

After the dinner, they talked about the wedding. They had already decided on the wedding in May. The time and place had been determined. They had to prepare well in the remaining months.

Seeing that these family matters were basically discussed, Kevin invited Jimmy to come to the study. He was still concerned about the progress of the shooting, but this topic was obviously not convenient to talk about outside.

Jimmy: "We are halfway through the investigation of the shooting. We have killed a suspect in the park shooting, and the rifle's bullet mark detection has also matched, but there is another gunman, and we are now looking for it."

Kevin: "Is there any evidence that there was a second gunman at the scene? Can't the case be closed as soon as possible?"

Jimmy: "Close the case as soon as possible? Why?"

Kevin: "There is a lot of pressure on the city government now. The time between the two mass shootings was too short. Now all parties hope that we can come to a conclusion as soon as possible."

Jimmy thought for a while: "The gunman has been killed, and the bullet mark detection results are normal. But for this reason, it may be inconvenient for the bureau to close the case. Our internal investigation results show that there is indeed a gunman. If we close the case now, it may be very troublesome later. .”

Kevin: "Do something."

Jimmy took a deep breath and said, "What do you need me to do?"

Kevin: "We need some exciting news before Christmas."

Jimmy: "I understand, just give me some more time and I should be able to figure it out."

Kevin nodded, "A drink?"

Jimmy got up and went to get the whiskey and glasses from the study. The wine here was what Kevin usually drank when he smoked cigars in the study. Jimmy also drank a lot. Every time he was almost out, he would bring one or two bottles to refill.

Kevin: "The troubles in your office should have been resolved by now, right? Have you made your arrangements?"

Jimmy: "Well, all the adjustments have been completed. It just depends on whether there are any new ideas. The current situation should be the final result."

Kevin: "What about you?"

Jimmy: "I'm still an acting homicide squad member for the time being. If nothing unexpected happens, I should become a full member next year and supervise the SSA agents."

Kevin nodded: "I will find a way to adjust Nia's position next year. It is not convenient for me to deal with it now. After you get married, I hope you can all get out of the front line. It is much safer to be in management than outside."

Jimmy: "We are not the same as your police department. Even if you are promoted to SSA, you still manage a team and need to lead the people below to investigate cases. But don't worry about me. As long as Nia is safe, I will I’m used to fighting on the front line.”

Kevin: "I understand, but you always have to consider your future position. I think you also understand your own disadvantages, right?"

Jimmy understood what Kevin meant. Being able to talk about this problem face to face, Kevin really didn't regard himself as an outsider. "Well, the ceiling is still a bit far away now, but I guess it won't be easy going up."

Kevin: "If, I mean if, there are any questions later, would you be interested in coming over?"

Jimmy turned the wine glass in his hand and took a sip. "Let's talk about it now. It's still a little far from the ceiling. I haven't thought about it for that long yet. Things have to be done one by one. I'm just doing it now." I’ll make up for my shortcomings and hope I won’t get stuck on the hard conditions.”

Kevin: "I understand. But after all, we live in New York, and some people still have to be friendly. Alex asked me to meet last night, and it seems like he has some thoughts about you."

Jimmy: "What's wrong?"

Kevin: "Just a few words at the end to thank you, but he mentioned that his son Elliot seems to want to find you."

Jimmy laughed: "I roughly understand what's going on. He may be a gun control fan, and Elliot was kidnapped this time, so he should be interested in guns." Kevin thought for a while: "There is such a thing Maybe, this is New York, and gun control is their mainstream idea. I understand, if he contacts you, just handle it according to your ideas."

Kevin and Jimmy talked about some people who needed attention in the government and some activities that needed to be attended later. They ended the conversation and Jimmy took Nia back home.

Nia has recovered, and they haven't been together for a long time. Of course, the two of them want to celebrate Nia's recovery.

The next day at work, when Jimmy arrived at the office, Mark was already there, "Jimmy, we found a little clue."

Jimmy: "What clue?"

Mark: "Someone at the VA heard that we were looking for Joseph Carter, and he provided a clue. There was a street dealer who knew a lot of people who would get drugs from him."

Jimmy thought for a moment, then he picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number of the medical examiner's office. He reported his identity and the person he was looking for and quickly transferred, "Jeff, this is Jimmy Young from the FBI. ... Well, do me a favor, the two people who died in the playground shooting, do a drug test to see what they were smoking. ...Yes, it is related to the case, it is more urgent. ...Thank you. Goodbye."

Jimmy hung up the phone and said to Mark, "Do you have any clues about the dealer?"

Mark: "I only know that he is a Hispanic man with short hair and a tattoo on his body, but the tattoo pattern is unclear."

Jimmy: "This kind of clue is not very useful. They are just buying goods. There should be no special relationship. However, we can also investigate. Since they all go there to buy, it is likely that someone took them there. It may be possible." Find their acquaintances.”

Mark: "Well, I will continue to follow up."

Jimmy: "Is it okay with the psychiatrist?"

Mark: "They saw different doctors, and these two psychiatrists themselves have received many users, so they should have no problem."

Jimmy: "What we are looking for is their stronghold. Let's let Julia investigate his whereabouts later."

Julia entered the office on time, and Jimmy said, "Julia, go to the technical department and investigate the whereabouts of Joseph Carter with them, trace it backwards, and find the place where he met Daniel. "

Julia nodded: "I understand, I'll go over after sorting out yesterday's clues."

Mark stood up, "Then I'm going to investigate the dealer, and we'll investigate separately."

Jimmy: "Go ahead."

His car keys are still with Mark, which is just enough for him to drive out, but in this case, Jimmy will not have a car if something unexpected happens.

After thinking about it, Jimmy called Tim Dunn from the administrative department. After making sure that he was in the office, he got up, found an unopened pack of tea leaves from the cabinet next to him and walked towards the administrative department.

Tim saw that Jimmy's head was hurting. It was definitely not good to call him early in the morning, but it was not a good sign to say that he had to meet and talk again because of the inconvenience on the phone. "Your car broke down again?"

Jimmy was stunned, and handed him the tea bag in his hand, dumbfounded, "Why do you think so? I just have some good tea over there, let you try it too."

Tim: "That's it? Are you sure?"

Jimmy: "Well, that's it. And, um, can you arrange another car for our team to use? The two new people haven't had a car yet, so it's a bit troublesome to use mine every time."

Tim was relieved when he heard Jimmy say that, but he was a little speechless after hearing it, "Okay, stop talking, I'll check."

Tim put the tea bag into the drawer, then clicked the mouse on the computer, "Those two are newcomers, right?"

Jimmy smiled and nodded: "Yes, they are all newcomers this year."

Tim: "I'll give you a Crown Victoria. It was replaced before and hasn't been processed yet. It's just usable."

Jimmy: "No problem. Thanks."

Tim: "Let them come over later to go through the formalities."

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

Tim waved his hand and left quickly.

Jimmy returned to the office and saw Isabel from the Public Affairs Office sitting on the sofa, "Isa, why are you here?"

Isabel turned around and saw Jimmy, stood up and came to his table, "Mrs. Mason asked me to ask, how is the investigation of the park shooting and playground shooting going? When can we hold a press conference?"

Jimmy bared his teeth and felt a little uncomfortable. Kevin only urged her once last night, and today she met Mrs. Mason who also came to urge her. "The investigation of the case is not over yet, it is only half done. Are you anxious?"

Isabel nodded, "You know, we have too many media applications now. We can't delay this kind of case. If the investigation status of your side cannot be announced, we will find a way to delay it for a while."

Jimmy thought for a while, "Let me ask Ruiz. If it must be announced, it can be considered a staged result now."

Isabel: "Then I'll wait for your news and call me as soon as possible."

With that, Isabel left his office.

Jimmy sighed, and Julia turned to look at the conversation between Jimmy and Isabel. Looking at the way Jimmy sighed now, she knew that this matter would not be easy to solve.But this trouble had nothing to do with her as a soldier. She turned to look at her computer and continued to investigate clues.

Jimmy got up and went to Ruiz's office again. It seemed that since he had two subordinates, Mark and Julia, what he did had changed a lot, and now he was traveling back and forth between different departments.
